2343. Mysterious Visitor
Yes, in the original plan, when the Kingdom of Dawn officially declared war with the Galactic Empire, they would have at least two Death Star cannons.
The Death Star cannon is a super cannon that combines hyperspace navigation technology and mass effect technology. The launch device of this cannon is 70,000 meters long. When launching, super matter is used to replace zero elements, producing a pseudo mass effect, making the mass of the cannon infinitely close to zero, and then opening the hyperspace channel to enter hyperspace acceleration.
This will allow for a speed far exceeding that of normal hyperspace jumps, and since the mass of the cannonball is infinitely close to zero, it will hardly be affected by mass projection in hyperspace, so there is no need to follow the hyperspace channel to fly.
The cannonballs fired by the Death Star cannon have a range of about 80,000 light-years. Beyond this distance, the cannonballs will be unable to maintain the mass effect field, and will gradually return to their original mass, and then be torn apart by the mass projection in hyperspace.
Therefore, to build a Death Star cannon, the resources required to invest are extremely huge, and it also requires a huge energy supply. If the Kingdom of Dawn had not completed the Dyson Ring on the planet Vathian, they would not have been able to afford the energy to fire the Death Star cannon.
Don't look at the current bombing of the Fangduo planet. A super nuclear bomb exploded in 5 hours. Well, the frequency of launches has begun to decrease recently because there have been too many launches. But behind this seemingly simple bombing, there is the Kingdom of Dawn. The crystallization of the highest technology!
In addition to the first Death Star cannon built on Hoth, the Kingdom of Dawn also built a second Death Star cannon on Mustafar. However, due to time issues, the second Death Star cannon was not completed as scheduled. As a result, there is now only one Death Star cannon bombing the Fangduo planet.
This may result in the Death Star artillery's containment and consumption of multiple opposing planets being reduced by half than planned, and may cause the Galactic Empire to have a different judgment on Severance Tann's desire to attack multiple opposing planets.
The battle report Tang Xiao is reading now is a summary of the current situation of the war sent by Ling Liang. She believes that on the one hand, the current Death Star artillery is not enough to contain many other planets, which may make the Imperial fleet there ready to move.
In fact, this is a threshold issue. First of all, the Kingdom of Dawn does hope that the Galactic Empire will take the initiative to attack, but at the same time, it does not want the Galactic Empire to attack too hard, otherwise it will die.
At this stage, the Kingdom of Dawn does not have the ability to destroy the entire mobile fleet of the Galactic Empire. Otherwise, there would be no need to raid Coruscant and just attack them head-on.
Therefore, it is necessary to divide the fleet of the Galactic Empire through constant strategic detours. However, if the Imperial fleet closes its eyes and gathers all the troops to attack them, the Kingdom of Dawn will also have a headache.
This reflects the importance of the Death Star cannon bombing the planet Fondo. As long as Fangduo Planet continues to be bombed and weakened, the Galactic Empire will judge that Fangduo Planet is under increasing defensive pressure, so they will make very cautious moves and maintain a large fleet on Fangduo Planet. to defend.
Only when the number of fleets in other directions is reduced will there be room for Severance Tann to operate.
To make the Galactic Empire not want to lose the industrial center Fangduo planet, but also want to regain the market in the Central and Outer Rings, this mentality of wanting and wanting is what Operation Zero Plan needs to take advantage of.
General Ling Liang pointed out in her report that the Galactic Empire has sent Darth Vader to the Fondo planet, and the number of Imperial warships on the Fondo planet is still increasing. In this way, Darth Vader is likely to choose to launch a general attack.
In order to avoid this outcome, Ling Liang said that sufficient pressure must be put on the empire on other fronts, so as to force the empire to divide its troops in other directions. But now, Severance Tann's progress has obviously slowed down. She is preparing to attack the planet Klatooine, which is a gateway from Hutt space to the hinterland of the Empire's 12th Army. Only by taking the planet Klatooine can she continue to attack the planet Boonta, and then follow Semir Thinking of the planet meeting.
Then, together with General Grievous, they attacked the 12th Army from both sides. Only then will the Galactic Empire become even more nervous and send troops to rescue the 12th Army to prevent the Fourth Army from being directly attacked.
However, General Severance Tann's military operation has just begun the first step. Darth Vader's huge fleet can no longer be suppressed by the bombing of a Death Star artillery!
This is war. No matter how perfect your plan is, you can never really be sure whether the enemy will act according to your plan.
"Immediately prepare to convene a supreme military meeting to discuss whether it is necessary to recall Severance Tann's Second Task Force and postpone the Zero Operation Plan." Tang Xiao pressed the button and said to the other end of the communication.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately." Helmut Zemona's gentle and steady voice came from the communicator.
Tang Xiao felt a little irritable, and his face looked a little ugly. He kept tapping on the table, thinking about the next battle plan.
However, at this moment, another communication came in.
A beautiful figure appeared in the holographic projection, which was the top director of the Fourth Group, Gross Shelbia. Time has not left any traces on her body. Even after more than twenty years, she still looks as beautiful as when she was first awakened.
Tang Xiao and she have always communicated at a negative distance, but in recent years, her relationship with Tang Xiao has gradually become estranged. Compared with the underground lover relationship in the past, it is now more like an occasional sex buddy. . And the sense of superior-subordinate distance between the two is getting stronger and stronger.
Gross bowed very respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have a somewhat unique visitor here. I dare not deal with it without authorization, so I must report to you."
"Visitor? Who is it?" Tang Xiao frowned.
"It's me." An older-sounding woman's voice came from outside the screen. "I think we should have met once. Although it was not a happy one."
Then, a man wearing a very large black robe and an equally large headdress appeared in the picture. She lifted the hood of her robe, revealing an elderly woman with a fruit-yellow complexion like a tree, and markings with commandments on her face. She looked to be close to 60 years old.
"Hehehehe..." Seeing this person, Tang Xiao suddenly laughed ferociously, "Master Luminara-Anduli, it is indeed...long time no see."
Luminara-Anduli, at the beginning of the Clone Wars, whether it was the Battle of Geonosis or the Battle of Thule when Count Dooku wanted to activate the Dark Reaper, Tang Xiao stayed away from her. Saw it from afar. (End of chapter)
