The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1311. Semiles Star Strikes Back (Part 1)

Looking at the information in front of him, Tang Xiao also had a very ugly expression on his face. He said coldly to Helmut Zemo standing in front of him: "Planet Semiles is far away on the branch line of Hydia's waterway. According to our Calculated, the Galactic Republic has no possibility of posing a threat here. What I need to know is, why?"

Zemo thought for a long time, and said: "The time for this information is very urgent. If we don't respond, maybe we will suffer heavy losses. And the source is Gabriel Tosh. I don't think he will be in such a situation. Intelligence jokes with us."

Tang Xiao thought for a while and said, "So? The Galactic Republic has found a way to go to Planet Semiles? Or is it simply releasing a false information to deceive us? Then force us to react?"

"Yangmou, it doesn't count." Zemo said, "But since this information is so top-secret, but it is still known to us, I tend to think that this information may be given to us on purpose. To be honest, since the start of the war, The intelligence department of the Galactic Republic is also growing at an astonishing rate, and their agents are becoming more and more sophisticated. Recently, the possibility of us getting first-hand information has decreased a lot.”

"So, what does this information mean? Gabriel Tosh personally sent the news that the Republic might raid the planet Semiles, but we all know that this is impossible. However, this information was passed out just now, and it was still reported by the Republic. It was leaked by a traitor inside? How likely do you think this is?" Tang Xiao asked.

Zemo said in a deep voice, "Almost none."

"Then as a response to this information, we still have to make the strongest response and tell Earl Dooku that our army's planet Semirs has been raided by the Galactic Republic fleet, and ask him to come to support within one standard day, otherwise The consequences are disastrous." Tang Xiao said directly.

Then he meditated, and after about two or three minutes, he said: "Let Admiral Trench go to the planet Semiles to command this battle."

Zemo nodded, clicked on the communicator a few times, and arranged these things first.

When he was doing this job, Tang Xiao said again: "Then, our response has already been made. There is no doubt that even if it is only less than a day, it is better than being unprepared for a surprise attack. The Republic's raid will be ineffective, and they will pay a greater price."

Zemo said: "I understand what you mean, that is to say, now both the Republic and us have responded to the planet Semiles, and in fact this is the only reaction we may make. So now we Need to go back and look at this piece of information, what does it mean?"

Tang Xiao nodded, "That's right, Planet Semiers is one of our most important partners. In the vision plan for the fourth civilization in the future, Semiers are also one of the core races. This planet must also be heavily guarded." , especially when we already know it, so I think this piece of information is a bit unusual."

Zemo took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes: "Do you think that someone leaked this information to us on purpose."

"What do you think?" Tang Xiao asked back.

"Indeed, this time is too delicate." Zemo frowned, "If we get this information a few days in advance, we will have more time to consolidate the defense of Planet Semiles, and then with this already powerful With a strong and well-guarded garrison, the Galactic Republic is likely to cancel this operation. If it is delayed by one more day, the Republic's raid has already begun, and we will suffer heavy losses, but correspondingly, the Republic's losses will be much less. You Don't you think...is this too coincidental?"

"Someone wants to continue to consume between us and the Galactic Republic?" Tang Xiao asked.

"This consumption is meaningless, because the planet Semiles is located in the hinterland of the confederation of independent galaxies. The Galactic Republic fleet can only be a surprise attack, and it will leave after the fight. It is absolutely impossible to turn this place into a continuous meat-grinding battlefield And if this battle breaks out, the one that will have the greatest impact on us will actually be our Mobile Fleet!" Zemo said.

Tang Xiao suddenly said: "Mobile fleet... That's right! Once the battle breaks out, both we and Earl Dooku must mobilize as much troops as possible to defend the planet Semiles. Then, our mobile fleet in the East The fleet will be tied up! So... is this trying to consume the strength of our mobile fleet, or is it trying to limit our mobile fleet to a certain range, so as to give them a future strategic concept and act?"

"So, if this information was leaked intentionally, their purpose is to restrict our mobile fleet, whether it is ours or the Galactic Republic's. Now there is only one last problem left, who leaked the information? , Is it the Galactic Republic?" Zemo's face became serious.

"You already have the answer." Tang Xiao glanced at him.

"That's right, it's not the Galactic Republic. It's another existence that wants us and the Republic to have a big fight on the planet Semiles, and tie our mobile fleets to this galaxy. Once the battle breaks out, they will use When our Mobile Fleet is not here, do something," Zemo said.

"East..." Tang Xiao looked at the holographic star map in front of him and pondered, "There are a lot of gunpowder barrels in the direction of the east, Kashyyyk, Felucia, Mandalorian, Onderon...these They are all places where large-scale battles may break out. If there is a third party independent of us and the Galactic Republic, there are too many things he wants to do in these places..."

"Leave this matter to me, and I will find out an answer as soon as possible." Zemo said.

Tang Xiao nodded and remained silent.

...

20BBY, ​​on the afternoon of February 31st, on the planet Semiles.

In the empty and dark cosmic space, a burst of dazzling white light suddenly lit up, and immediately after that, hundreds of huge figures jumped out of the hyperspace and appeared in this cosmic space!

This is a huge fleet including more than 60 hunter-class battlecruisers!

At the same time, Planet Semirs, which was notified by Planet Dawn, has completed its battle preparations. A huge force of 50 Higra-class battlecruisers, 5 Sowa-class aircraft carriers, and 30 Cole-class battlecruisers has already set foot in the galaxy. In the middle, they are waiting for the next day, just waiting for the arrival of the Republic Fleet!

No one knows how the Republic fleet passed through the usual hyperspace channel and directly arrived at the planet Semiles, but the reality is that one of the main fleets of the Republic has suddenly appeared in front of the Confederate fleet.

The planet Semiles has suffered a catastrophe! If the resistance fails, then their planet and race will immediately face the wrath of the Galactic Republic and face the danger of genocide!

The Confederation of Independent Systems immediately responded urgently. Admiral Trench immediately took over the defense of the confederation's planet Semiles, and immediately set off for the planet Semiles.

At the same time, Planet Semiles immediately submitted the Planetary Defense Act, nationalized the defense of the entire planet, and formed the Supreme Command to resist the Republic Fleet.

On February 33, Admiral Trench arrived on the planet Semiles in a shuttle, and he went directly to the flagship of the Planetary Defense Fleet to establish his own command center.

At the same time, on the afternoon of February 33, the number of fleets of the Galactic Republic that arrived in the Semiles galaxy exceeded 150. After simple integration and formation, the Republic fleet launched the first wave of endless offensive!
