The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1389. Planet Falls

The capital of the planet Onderon, Izzy City, the Temple of Unity.

This huge two-body building is also the administrative core of the entire planet. However, right now, right in front of the temple, the hexagonal flags of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies and the flag of the planet Onderon hanging on the left and right sides are being untied ,ignite.

The huge banner with a length of more than 200 meters was burning fiercely, falling from the Temple of Unity hundreds of meters high, and the flames became more and more intense, like two huge fireballs.

The administrative core of the planet Onderon has been captured by the Galactic Republic.

General Akhenath-Tandin, the supreme military officer of the planet Onderon, underestimated the determination of the Galactic Republic and also miscalculated the domestic situation. His main force was stabbed in the back by Saw Guerrera as he tried his best to hold off the advance of Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano's ground forces.

Saw-Gerrera ignored the civilian casualties, and he had been preparing for the Galactic Republic's ground invasion months before, planting proton bombs in the buildings around the main roads, and it was now playing a huge role.

At the cost of nearly 100,000 civilian casualties, he blocked General Tandin's main force on the outskirts of the city.

Then, Wilhof Tarkin directly ordered the Republic's landing force to advance regardless of casualties, and forcibly penetrated against the dense anti-aircraft firepower in the city of Izzy.

He also paid a loss of nearly 100,000 people, but in the end, he still captured the Temple of Unity.

At this moment, it is only 27 standard hours before the official landing of the Galactic Republic. Judging by the rotation of Onderon once every 26 standard hours, it is almost exactly one day.

At the moment when the gear flag of the Galactic Republic was unfurled from the wall of the Temple of Unity, the planet Onderon's regime, which had been inherited from the former king Ramses Dundup, completely collapsed.

Akhenath Tandin, the supreme commander of the Armed Forces of Onderon Planet, was dragged out of the underground bunker by soldiers of the Republic, handcuffed, and arrested as a first-degree war criminal.

At the same time, the Galactic Republic officially announced to take over the planet Onderon, demanding that all separatist armed forces on the planet immediately lay down their weapons and surrender! Then it is announced that the separatist droid commander, General Kalani, is wanted.

After resisting for more than an hour, the Royal Guards of Onderon were led by Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano to break through the front line. After that, they put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

The ones who resisted to the end were the more than 50,000 B-1 battle robots. They were lifeless and unconscious, and they fought until the last one.

Conquer Planet Onderon in one day!

You must know that this is not the place where the backward planets in the middle and outer rings just give up resistance after a fleet bombards them indiscriminately. It is a planet in the inner ring, with very developed industry and technology, and it is also one of the important planets used by the Separatists to produce Behemoth-class battlecruisers!

The good news was spread to Coruscant immediately, and the speaker Schiff Palpatine, who was in a meeting in the parliament, laughed loudly. He immediately interrupted the current topic, connected the communication of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin on the spot, and then sent The holographic projection zooms in, allowing Governor Tarkin to receive the cheers of the entire parliament!

That's right, Governor of the Fourth Army of the Republic—Wilhuff Tarkin!

Official Governor! Start now!

"Hahahaha! My friend! My dear Governor of the Fourth Army, Wilhof Tarkin! Your talents are blooming at this moment, and your theory has been proven correct! I believe that from this day on, Whenever the separatists take up arms to resist, they will think of the planet Onderon! They will think of this industrial world that was captured within a day!" Schiff-Palpatine said loudly with open arms.

Wilhof Tarkin just gave a very serious military salute, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "It is my duty to maintain the unity and peace of the Republic! The enemies of the Republic will surely tremble under our iron hooves! "

What greeted him was the applause and cheers of those congressmen.

Those loyal MPs barked even harder, as if they were a pack of loyal dogs.

"Now, the war is far from over. I will also devote myself to clearing up the remaining separatist forces on the planet Onderon until they are all cleaned up." Governor Tarkin gave another military salute, and then shut down the communication.

"Look! This is a soldier! This is a role model!" Schiff Palpatine directly gave Tarkin a definition, "Immediately arrange a special envoy, arrange a special plane, and send the letter of appointment of the governor of the Fourth Army to Tarkin. In the hands of Governor Jin!"

...

After the communication was shut down, there was no joy on Wilhuff Tarkin's face.

He knew that the battle was far from over. He would never think that the more than 200,000 soldiers plus 50,000 combat robots on the planet Onderon are the full power of separatism.

Since the start of the fighting until now, the separatism has never shown more strength.

With a fleet and an army of 7 million, it is not surprising that they can crush an enemy of less than 400,000. But now the problem is...

Governor Tarkin set his sights in the direction of the Derksen satellite.

And there was one really tricky thing... Tarkin knew it all. But this didn't stop him from sending Coruscant a good news immediately, and Palpatine tacitly packaged this temporary victory into a brilliant victory.

The military belongs to the military, and the politics belongs to the politics. The greatest advantage of Wilhuff-Tarkin is precisely that he can distinguish the two clearly and clearly.

Now that political activities have been done enough, the rest is military matters.

Dixon Satellite!

Tarkin's eyes fixed on this super-large satellite, which was actually no smaller than a planet in size.

After a day and a night of orbital bombardment, the surface of this satellite has completely lost its previous green appearance, replaced by devastation. Countless lavas and huge volcanoes can be seen clearly even from space.

But this kind of tragedy is only superficial.

Whether it is his ship, the Consul-class, or the Jaeger-class for fire support next to him, the main guns used are turbolaser cannons. Although this kind of weapon is powerful, it is explosive firepower after all, and its power cannot penetrate deeper into the surface.

Therefore, although the Dirksen satellite showed that the volcano was blown up and lava flowed everywhere, such an attack could not harm the foundation of the huge steel city of the separatists.

Fighting is still unavoidable.

At this time, Governor Tarkin suddenly remembered the super battleship that had appeared in the Separatism—the Plague for no reason. He was thinking inexplicably, if it was the super giant cannon with a caliber of hundreds of meters on the Plague, after such a round of bombing, it might have caused the plate movement of the planet, thus completely destroying everything on the ground, right?

Thinking of this, his eyes gradually became colder.

That's right! The Battleship! This is exactly what the Galactic Republic lacks the most! Only this kind of super warship that can directly destroy a planet can truly bring endless fear and endless deterrence to the galaxy!

A super battleship that surpasses the Plague, surpasses the Xuanwu, and surpasses the Fang! Only then is it real, Tarkinism!

Fortunately, the Galactic Republic has long planned.
