The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1062: The Day of the Decisive Battle (4)

The planet Eliadu used to be the most economically developed planet in the outer ring star region of the Milky Way, even more economically developed than the planet Christofsis. It mainly relies on a self-sufficient industrial system and a very developed foreign trade.

Because it is located in a transportation hub, the trade and commerce here are very developed, and countless rich people have been born. In addition, the planet Eliadu has a suitable climate and rich products. In order to meet the needs of these rich people for the environment and materials, the planet There are also many agricultural areas.

After the outbreak of the war, Planet Eliadu, under the command of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, kept hoarding a large amount of resources and continuously evacuated the population. But the evacuation efforts are limited after all, because the priority of all transport ships is to guarantee war supplies.

There are still a large number of people staying on the planet. They are either unable to leave, or they still have illusions that it is impossible for separatism to capture this heavily fortified planet. Especially under the rendering of the propaganda machine, Governor Tarkin, who has continuously won defensive battles and overwhelmed the Sullustians on the industrial planet Sullust, is even more like a god of war .

Many people thought that under the leadership of Governor Tarkin, they could not possibly lose, especially behind them, there was a steady stream of reinforcements from the Republic, so even the 5th planet in the Eliadu system, the planet Talstra, fell At the time, there were still less than 3 billion people who chose to leave.

After all, the conditions of the planet Eliadu are really favorable, with good environment, convenient transportation, good policies, and many opportunities. In the outer ring of the Milky Way, it belongs to a very small number of planets that are not in a state of exploitation.

But the next development of the battle, even Wilhuff Tarkin himself did not expect it at all.

In just a few hours of combat, the Separatists took advantage of the opportunity of a stellar flare to turn the tables in one fell swoop, from a state where it was impossible to break through the solid line of defense between the planet Eliadu and the satellite, to breaking through the satellite defense Landed on the satellite, and caused a hyperspace storm, cutting off external traffic!

They made countless plans, but the only thing they didn't expect was that the traffic was cut off! And if it weren't for this, the Galactic Republic is fully capable of guaranteeing the supply of Eliadu planet!

So the remaining 19 billion people stayed on the planet.

19 billion people!

Even if Governor Tarkin implemented the food rationing system immediately, and immediately organized all residents to reclaim farmland and expand agricultural production, there was no way to meet everyone's needs.

Half a month after the outbreak of the hyperspace storm, people starved to death on the planet Eliadu, and this situation became more and more serious, and in the end it was almost completely out of control!

In particular, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the planetary army, Governor Tarkin is preparing to carry out the final resistance here, so the food supply of all the troops is still given priority, and the famine on the planet Eriadu is getting more and more serious.

Almost every day, every hour, and every minute, people starve to death, starting with the emaciated people, and later even whole villages, whole towns were starved to death!

The hungry people tried to resist several times, but they were all bloody suppressed by the well-armed and well-fed Republican army.

In the end, those who couldn't work and couldn't be drafted into the military had to choose to live on that once-a-day food ration and wait to die.

After experiencing resistance and suppression, as well as hunger with no end in sight, 6 billion people died on the planet Eliadu in the second month after the hyperspace storm broke out! !

What is this concept? It is equivalent to two months and 70 days, and the population of the earth has died!

And this death toll is increasing every minute!

Relatively speaking, the fleet of the Fourth Civilization is much simpler. Their navy has a total strength of more than 500,000, of which 200,000 are humans, and only 300,000 of the 1.3 million army need food. The supplies carried by the fleet plus those from Egypt The materials obtained on the Riadou satellite are completely sufficient.

In fact, if it wasn't for the worry that the army of the Republic would immediately arrive after the hyperspace storm subsided, Severance Tan would only have to wait a few more months before the order of the planet Eliadu collapsed.

Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer...

Severance Tann and Ling Liang, at the cost of the lives of 6 billion people, bought the best opportunity to capture the planet Eliadu...

And Wilhof Tarkin, at the cost of the lives of 6 billion people, got a defense system all over the planet, and a huge army with a total number of 100 million people! !

Maybe they didn't think of such a tragic consequence when they issued the order, but this tragic fact was caused by them alone. And even if they knew the consequences, the same instructions would still come from their mouths...

Human life, at this time, has become the last thing to consider.

...

21BBY, the night of July 1st.

Following a burst of intense light flickering in the sky, more than 20 nuclear bombs exploded on the surface of Eriadu planet. Eriadu planet finally ushered in the final moment of decisive battle!

Planetary shield, broken!

Rumble~~~~~ A huge mushroom cloud up to a thousand meters was set off on the ground. These nuclear bombs were originally intended to hit the planetary shield, so they did not aim at the ground target, because many of them erupted on the sea and mountains, and did not explode. Destroy the city, but the terrible power and rumbling roar still played the elegy of the planet Eliadu!

The attack from outside the sky stopped for less than 20 minutes only because of the shattering of the planetary shield, followed by a burst of more precise and merciless blows!

Tactical nuclear bombs falling from the sky, turbo laser beams falling from the sky with reduced power, incendiary bombs falling from the sky, fighter jets fully loaded with ammunition falling from the sky...

It is death that descends from the sky!

This time, they aimed at cities, factories and military targets!

The last mercy of the Fourth Civilization Fleet is that it did not target the agricultural area, but otherwise, the fingers of the battleship operator pressing the fire button were calm and steady. Every time he pressed, it meant that a target was wiped out, and hundreds of Thousands of deaths!

boom! boom! boom! boom! ! ! ! Violent explosions continued to set off in the city, and those people who waited in long lines for food distribution just looked at the sky numbly, and then let the explosion engulf them.

The suspension truck full of new recruits was blown up in the explosion, and a small piece of bread was still tightly held in a severed hand.

The soldiers of the Republic who had shown their strength before immediately scrambled and ran to the bunker, pointing their blaster rifles at the sky in despair.

In the next second, hordes of vulture robot fighters swooped in and fired violently at the ground!

Thanks for the 100 starting coins rewarded by the great sage who rules Mars under the white moon! !
