The Empire is dismantled and the Rebel Alliance rebuilds the New Republic. Dictatorship will be replaced by democracy. The empire as a nation could be overthrown. A truce was signed, which reassured the New Republic, but it did not destroy the shadowy foundations that supported the Empire. It's the weapons industry.
Behind the functioning of the Empire, there were many weapons manufacturers working together to produce and sell weapons for the Empire. The Emperor has been building a market for imperial weapons since the war, and it becomes active during times of crisis. The emperor encouraged fierce competition, which led to the creation of powerful weapons manufacturers. Cheap and high quality products are available.
They have been investing in the Republic since the war, enriching the Senate. As long as the war continues, our interests are guaranteed, so we pledge allegiance to the Republic, which is determined to achieve absolute victory. But suddenly, the war ends. I feared the market would crash.
However, the emperor, who declared the founding of the empire, promised to maintain the wartime system. Since the Senate was not dissolved, the collusion between the Senate and the weapons industry will also be maintained. Thank you Emperor.
The point here is that the people who were really relieved were not the Senate or the executives of the weapons manufacturers, but the employees of the weapons manufacturers. The empire saved us from the boom in employment during the war. They are all voters who support the Senate. Therefore, the Senate could no longer defy arms manufacturers. And weapons manufacturers swear loyalty to the emperor.
After the fall of the empire, the market for the arms industry ostensibly became less prominent, but arms manufacturers never held their breath. Rather, we will prepare for emergencies that are likely to occur again and wait patiently.
Once the New Republic signs a truce, you can quietly deceive the New Republic without them noticing. I don't know if it violates the agreement. It doesn't matter who the customer is as long as you can sell to them. We will absolutely abide by the contract to keep our activities confidential.
The Republic will support the First Order just as it supported the Empire. The New Republic did not understand the reality of this weapons industry. They underestimated the arms industry. Relieved that they had defeated the Empire as a nation, they were unable to destroy the shadowy foundations that supported the Empire.
An example is the wealthy people who play Canto Bight. It doesn't matter if a war breaks out somewhere, as long as the investment destination is profitable. To my dismay, it invests in both friends and foes, stirring up tension.
With the discovery of Exegol, the weapons industry rejoices as rumors of the Emperor's return are heard.
His Majesty the Emperor did not abandon him. The patience of the arms industry cannot be underestimated.
