The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2082, Operation Plan Zero (V)

Although Tang Xiao's speech just now seemed crazy, everyone has now become accustomed to Tang Xiao's style. In fact, Tang Xiao has gradually become moody and more extreme in character, which should have started ten years ago, especially during the Clone Wars, his changes were particularly obvious.

However, although Tang Xiao is crazy, he has one advantage, that is, he rarely intervenes in the execution of specific affairs personally. Of course, there is also a premise, that is, this matter itself is in line with his wishes.

What he wants is also very simple, that is, to expand the army, prepare for war, and then defeat the Galactic Empire as the ultimate goal. For this point, the Dawn Principality can reach a consensus, so Tang Xiao will not have too many conflicts with his officials at all levels on many things.

At most, in order to cater to the increasingly extreme character of the Grand Duke, many policies and armaments of the Dawn Principality now tend to be more radical.

However, this time, Tang Xiao directly proposed such a terrible plan-defeating the Galactic Empire within a year!

In fact, strictly speaking, it is not defeated within a year. When everyone saw the Operation Zero Plan, their first reaction was to be shocked by this grand plan.

Even Severance Tann nodded slightly when she saw the plan. You know, she has always disagreed with Ling Liang, the proposer of the plan.

Operation Zero Plan is actually an integrated plan that includes many factors such as economy, politics, intelligence, industry, and military. And the main body of this plan is not just combat.

This plan is divided into three parts, one is a five-year mobilization plan, the other is a five-year intelligence plan, and the last is a one-year combat plan.

The first two parts are carried out simultaneously, so the total time of Operation Zero Plan is actually six years.

In this plan, the Principality of Dawn needs to integrate all the forces of the country in this five-year mobilization plan, everything serves the war, and the economy and industry of the entire country are completely adjusted to the track of war, and highly coordinated with the needs of the war.

Within five years, the Principality of Dawn needs to increase its troops by 7 billion, and complete the training of these new troops and the construction of supporting equipment and carrier spacecraft.

At the same time, the Dawn Principality's navy needs to double the number of its existing 1,200 battleships to more than 3,500. And at least four or five Titan battleships are included in this!

The number of workers engaged in military industrial production in the country will be increased by 10 times, the investment in civilian industries will be reduced, and the investment in military industries and basic resource industries will be increased.

Expand the allocation of military and industrial robots, continue to promote the mixed industrial model of ordinary people and robots in the country, and the ratio of the two should reach one to five. In other words, the Dawn Principality needs at least 10 trillion robots! Most of these robots are full-time improved models of B-1 robots, mainly engaged in some physical labor.

Then it is necessary to issue war bonds on a large scale and collect as much private funds as possible for military expansion.

While carrying out such a large-scale military expansion, the intelligence department also needs to start taking action at the same time to cover up the Dawn Principality's preparations for war as much as possible. And exaggerate the Dawn Principality's military operations in the unknown star field as much as possible to create the illusion that they focus their main energy on the unknown star field.

Using the Dyson Rings, which are basically impossible to conceal, as a propaganda tool, mislead the Galactic Empire and make them think that the Principality of Dawn will adopt a long-term war strategy after having such a powerful resource acquisition method as the Dyson Rings.

At the same time, hide the existing military strength of the Principality of Dawn as much as possible to make the Galactic Empire misjudge.

The most important part is to use five years to build three star gates in locations including Hutt Space, Mandalore Star Region, and the former core area of ​​the Confederation of Independent Systems!

The construction of these three star gates will greatly expand the maneuvering range of the Navy of the Principality of Dawn.

At the same time, under the premise of being possible, build a secret star gate in the Central Ring Star Region of the Milky Way. After the war, this secret star gate will be used to raid the rear of the Galactic Empire.

After this five-year mobilization and intelligence preparation, it is the core of the entire plan-a one-year war! Defeat the Galactic Empire within a year.

The entire one-year war plan revolves around one core-raiding the center of the empire, that is, the planet Coruscant!

Tang Xiao told the General Staff more than ten years ago that there is a secret route that can lead directly to Coruscant. One of the coordinates of this route is located on the planet Yago-Dur!

Tang Xiao called this route the Nexus Route, a name that is very traditional to the Dawn Planet.

The Nexus Route was discovered by Jedi Knight Evan Pierre, but he did not realize the value of the route data until he was killed by Tang Xiao on the Nashada satellite.

This route is very dangerous and unstable - because it passes directly through the center of the Milky Way!

As we all know, at the center of the Milky Way, there is a black hole with a very large mass, and an ultra-high-density star cluster consisting of at least hundreds of millions of stars. In such an environment, no planet can exist at all, and no spacecraft can get close to here.

The reason why hyperspace channels are called channels is that they are actually channels that avoid the routes of stars, because the huge mass of stars will form mass projections in hyperspace. Once a spacecraft hits it, the result will be quite tragic.

And all hyperspace channels are changing all the time, but the main channels change in a more regular way, so they can be calculated more easily by navigation computers.

But it is hard to imagine that there will be channels in a place like the center of the Milky Way, which is densely packed with stars.

Therefore, Master Evan-Pier only thought that this channel was rare and accidental, and had great research value, but no use value.

But Tang Xiao knew that the value of this channel was huge! Because in the original plot, under the instruction of Darth Sidious, General Grievous led almost all the warships of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a huge fleet of more than 1,500 battleships, directly through the Tianshu Channel, and directly reached Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, like a god descending from the sky!

This shows that this channel not only leads directly to Coruscant, but also has the ability to navigate large-scale fleets!

Tang Xiao had been secretly forming a team of the best astronomers, mainly from Jiwen, to calculate and find the coordinates of the Tianshu channel.

And, he finally succeeded!
