The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2083, Operation Plan Zero (VI)

Master Evan Peel's data on this hyperspace channel was divided into two parts, one half was given to Admiral Wulf Yularen who was with him at the time, and the other half was carried on his body. In the end, Evan Peel was killed by Darth Malthael on the Nar Shadda satellite, and Wulf Yularen took the other half back and gave it to Palpatine.

Master Evan Peel's half of the data was finally taken back by Anakin Skywalker and handed over to the Jedi Order for archiving.

Therefore, Palpatine finally got the complete data and treasured it as one of his biggest trump cards.

That is to say, although Tang Xiao knew the existence of this hyperspace channel, he did not know the specific data.

However...the Given people once again proved that they are the best mathematicians in the galaxy.

Because what Tang Xiao actually gave them was just a vague concept. After all, he only knew that in the plot, General Grievous led the last main fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems, with more than a thousand warships, to directly raid Coruscant, and he also knew the approximate starting and ending points of this route, but he didn't know more details.

After all, the plot wouldn't really write out the data of the hyperspace route for you, right?

But the Jiwen people actually relied on such a little information, and after a long period of calculation, they calculated this hyperspace route!

Bahr-Banak, the most outstanding mathematician of the Jiwen people, presided over this epic calculation.

Bahr-Banak was the number one contributor to the successful calculation of stellar flares and the influence of stellar flares on the hyperspace route in the previous battle of the Eriadu system. Similarly, when the Galactic Republic launched a large-scale attack on the planet Yago-Dur, he accurately calculated an orbital change of the planet Yago-Dur.

But the results of those two calculations were not as good as this one!

He calculated a hyperspace route through the center of the Milky Way with only a vague direction! This is an epic calculation!

Therefore, without Palpatine knowing anything, the Principality of Dawn also mastered this route.

And this route, named "Tianshu" by Tang Xiao himself, is the core of Operation Zero.

In Operation Zero, the whole year's battle plan is all for the final raid on Coruscant. During this year, the fleet of the Principality of Dawn will attack everywhere, posing a posture of going straight into the middle ring star region.

And this initial battle plan is completely a copy of a large-scale raid that General Grievous successfully carried out during the Clone Wars - the Festival Offensive.

In the Festival Offensive, General Grievous directly killed all the way from the eastern border of the Milky Way to the southern border, almost killing through the Milky Way, dealing a heavy blow to the Galactic Republic, which could only shrink to the inner ring defense line of Dalon.

This operation was even adopted by the military academies of the Galactic Republic and the Principality of Dawn at the same time, and was written into their textbooks.

Therefore, the initial goal of Operation Zero is to launch a reverse ritual offensive, from the southwest of the Milky Way to the east.

At the same time, the propaganda machine and intelligence agencies of the Principality of Dawn will guide the military of the Galactic Empire to judge in this direction. Then when the Galactic Empire concentrates its forces in the wrong direction, the main fleet of the Dawn planet will conduct a large-scale maneuver through the stargate, and then directly raid Coruscant through the Tianshu Channel!

The battle to raid Coruscant will be commanded by Severance Tann herself! !

The ultimate goal of Operation Zero is to capture Coruscant and kill Emperor Palpatine of the Empire!

As long as Coruscant is occupied, the legitimacy of the Galactic Republic-Galactic Empire will suffer the most severe blow. As Hari Seldon said before, the regime that the people of the Milky Way take for granted will be captured by foreign enemies! This also means that the truth they have believed in for 25,000 years will be shattered!

After that, the war will not end, but the first phase of the strategic goal of the Principality of Dawn has been achieved. Next, according to the requirements of Operation Plan Zero, the Principality of Dawn will abandon Coruscant, return to its own jurisdiction, relax economic policies, and enter a stage of recuperation.

Because once such a situation is formed, the Galactic Empire will inevitably enter a warlord melee, and the power of the rebels will certainly be greatly strengthened. At that time, the rebels are very likely to come to the surface, occupy key galaxies, and establish their own regime.

Faced with such a situation, the Principality of Dawn will become the most powerful separatist regime in the Milky Way. They can attack and defend, and watch the changes in the Milky Way in their own iron-clad territory.

The Principality of Dawn will be invincible!

And this is Operation Plan Zero!

The entire plan is meticulous and covers many aspects. It can be said that it is a plan for the Principality of Dawn to mobilize all its forces and achieve success in one battle.

Because this plan is indeed a huge gamble!

The first is to directly press all the troops to raid Coruscant. This is almost impossible to do!

The planet Coruscant has the largest population in the entire galaxy, the most powerful planetary shield, the most complete orbital defense system, and the First Galaxy Army that is always stationed near the planet!

The First Galaxy Army is also the most powerful fleet in the entire Galactic Empire! During the Clone Wars, even when General Grievous approached the planet Dalon and threatened the Inner Circle and the Core Circle, the First Galaxy Army had never been mobilized.

In other words, no matter how Operation Zero deceived and mobilized in the previous year's operations, in the end, they would eventually have to fight a head-on battle with the First Galaxy Army under the almost abnormal defense of Coruscant!

Can they win?

No one can guarantee this.

Once the Battle of Coruscant begins, what actually begins is a head-on collision between the old order and the new pattern of the galaxy. Will the tradition that has ruled the galaxy for 25,000 years win again, or will the emerging forces that rise from the border and want to challenge the old order win?

If the battle fails, then the weight of this ruling system that started from the Galactic Republic and inherited by the Galactic Empire will be strengthened again in the minds of the people. The orthodox ideas of Coruscant will be further entrenched, and the Principality of Dawn will lose the opportunity to challenge forever.

At the same time, because the Principality of Dawn had overdrawn too much of its national credit in the previous five years of preparation, if it failed, the legitimacy of the rule of the Dawn planet would be widely questioned and even resisted.

The result was the collapse of the Principality of Dawn! (End of this chapter)
