The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1601. Military Conference

During the Battle of Ennako, Admiral Kourney, the commander of the main fleet of the 17th Army, was cut off from the supply line. He was raided from behind by the surprise fleet sent by Ling Liang, and became a situation of two-sided attack.

And at that time, because of the previous series of active offensive actions, the supply of the main fleet of the 17th Army was greatly consumed, and some warships even couldn't even replace the shield capacitors!

Although the supply line has been opened up in the rear, Ling Liang seized this last and best opportunity to launch an active attack before the supplies arrived.

She forced Admiral Kourney to conduct a fleet decisive battle under extremely unfavorable circumstances, and the result was self-evident. The main fleet of the 17th Army suffered heavy losses, and Admiral Kourney tried his best to maintain the last core of the fleet-the three Commander II-class dreadnoughts.

In the end, Admiral Kourney brought back about half of the warships, but the damage to these warships was relatively serious. One of the three Commander II dreadnoughts was destroyed and one was badly damaged.

In fact, the original plan of the Battle of Ennako was indeed harassment, but Admiral Kourney made a series of wrong judgments in the face of the supply line being cut off. As a result, General Ling seized the only opportunity and severely injured .

At that time, even if he persisted for a few more hours, the situation would be different.

Tang Xiao asked the military to complete a surprise attack, and General Ling overfulfilled the task. Under such circumstances, the possible actions of the Galactic Republic became predictable.

For the Duchy of Dawn, this is a good thing.

Because the Galactic Republic will launch a powerful offensive against the Duchy of Dawn in the near future, this is certain. It is impossible for the Galactic Republic to allow the Principality of Dawn to declare its founding in this way, and it will definitely respond.

Of course, it is impossible for them to let go of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. In fact, when the Supreme Military Conference was held, the Galactic Republic's military operations against General Grievous's main fleet stationed on the planet Salukami had already begun.

In addition, in the course of the recent war, the warships of the Duchy of Dawn have become more and more superior in performance compared to the Galactic Republic, which has also aroused the sense of crisis in the Galactic Republic!

You must know that even if the war has been going on for more than two years, the Galactic Republic has never really paid attention to the Dawn Star and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. The huge gap in national power gave the separatists the only chance to threaten the inner circle as soon as possible, and then let those aristocratic families who were afraid of war force Palpatine to negotiate a peace.

As the war continued, the separatists were no longer able to threaten the core circle of the Republic, and their forces had even basically withdrawn from the inner circle. Then, in this way, the aristocratic and wealthy families who watched from the other side would naturally not begrudge the war that they could win by sitting at home and waving money.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Galactic Republic can have a sense of life and death crisis, which shows how big the gap in the performance of the two warships is!

This is so big that the military of the Republic seriously believes that the performance of the warships and technological development of the Principality of Liming can make up for the gap in national strength between the two sides, so it is really possible to defeat the Republic head-on!

And because such concerns are common, it is not difficult to obtain relevant information.

Therefore, the Duchy of Dawn has determined that the Galactic Republic will launch an offensive in the near future, but the problem lies in the direction of the offensive.

Currently, in the area under the control of the Principality of Dawn, there are two traffic arteries—the planet Yago-Dur and the planet Eliadu.

Needless to say, Planet Eliadu is a major transportation hub and economic center between the middle ring and the outer ring, and has a very high strategic position.

Although the Yago-Dur planet is on the main hyperspace route, because this galaxy is a three-body galaxy, its value in transportation is not as good as that of the Eliadu planet. But the Galactic Republic has already had some speculations about the fact that the Jiven people helped the Duchy of Dawn to build the Titan battleship, so they also have good reasons to storm the Yago-Dur galaxy.

In addition to these two directions, it is not ruled out that the Galactic Republic will attack the Christofsis planet in another direction.

From the map, the Christofsis planet is an enclave of the Principality of Dawn, but in fact there is a hyperspace channel between the two places, but the distance is a little farther away.

So if the Galactic Republic wants to attack the Christofsis planet, the Duchy of Dawn will also have the problem of being beyond its reach.

Finally, there is the planet Rendili.

Since the Lundili Interstellar Power Company coerced the Lundili planet to join the separatism, the Galactic Republic blocked the Lundili trade route, making Lundili a real enclave. It's just that because of the strong industrial production capacity of the Lundili Interstellar Power Company, the scale of the defense fleet of the planet Lundili is constantly expanding, so it is not so easy to really fight Lundili.

As for the northern border, the main theme there is no longer the war between Separatism and the Republic, but the racial war between intelligent life and mechanical life. So whether to hit in that direction is the same thing.

Therefore, the four directions of Yago-Toure, Christophsis, Lundili and Eriadu are what the Principality of Dawn needs to deal with, and it is also something that needs to be discussed at this Supreme Military Conference.

Qi Jian made several marks on the holographic star map, and then said: "My lord, according to the recent report from the intelligence department, we have noticed that there are large-scale hyperspace fluctuations in the direction of the 20th Army and the 17th Army of the Galactic Republic. In addition to what you were convinced before, the Republic will directly launch an attack on the Model sector, and we believe that their military operation should still be aimed at our mainland."

"Model star area..." Tang Xiao sat at the head, his eyes were serious, "I can feel that there is a pair of eyes in the darkness peering in that direction... Darth Sidious wants to kill me now, and More than ever! He wiped out the Jedi, got Darth Vader and a host of Force-sensitives who have fallen to the dark side, and his power is growing."

He tapped on the table lightly, "So, he will point the finger at me directly! This is not a military or strategic judgment, but an arrangement of the Force. Fate, there must be a relationship between Sidious and me." A fateful battle, and Sidious, he will think that this battle is now."

"You mean, Darth Sidious may also come?" Qi Jian asked seriously.

"I'm pretty sure that when he sees the possibility of killing me, then he will definitely appear on the scene. Before that, I have no way of judging." Tang Xiao said.

"Then how do we judge that Darth Sidious wants to take a shortcut and directly attack our core? Couldn't he attack all the way from the direction of Eriadu planet?" Ling Liang asked.

"Because he can't wait, and...doesn't want to wait." Tang Xiao said flatly, "He has already started the countdown to becoming emperor, and my head is the best gift at his enthronement ceremony. He won't Accept the steady...Kill me, and he will get the inheritance of the dark side! At that time, he will truly become a one-man Sith!"

"Even if the Galactic Republic wants to attack the Mordel star area, they can't have only one direction. There will definitely be offensives in other directions to involve our troops!" Qi Jian said, "So, we still have a lot of problems... ..."
