Chapter 2411 The first move
2412. The first move
From the Dawn Planet to the Mequito Planet, it almost traverses the entire Milky Way, from the southwest corner directly to the northwest corner. In a three-dimensional sense, the straight-line distance between the two planets is almost 100,000 light-years, and they need to pass through the center of the Milky Way.
To make the same journey, the Galactic Empire's fleet must make a large circle, avoiding the super black hole at the center of the Milky Way and the star clusters composed of billions of stars. And in the process, it will take at least 20 hyperspace lanes and make nearly 50 jumps.
The whole time is almost 30 days! And after completing this journey, the fleet must rest immediately. Because this journey places a heavy burden on the hyperspace engine and consumes a large amount of core elements.
Comparing the data of Star Gate, we can only say that such terrifying technology makes countless people tremble!
Even for a careerist like Orman Tagg, he chose to play dead in terms of Stargate Technology. He pretended he couldn't see, pretended he was busy, pretended that the Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer and Galaxy Gun projects had taken up all his energy. In short, as long as we don't talk about Star Gate, everything will be fine. If we talk about the star gate... I'm sorry, I'm busy, please come back.
Because facing Star Gate Technology, he had nothing to do. With his self-proclaimed genius’ cognition, he may not even be able to imagine the theory that this Star Gate technology can realize!
……
At this time, facing the pressure of the famous general Severance Tann and the Archangel-class Titan battleship, the Galactic Empire Admiral Thrawn chose not to give in.
Thrawn continued to surround the planet Bilbrin with his fleet, transported a large number of troops to the planet, launched a landing operation, and prepared to completely occupy the planet.
Moreover, Thrawn once again made a request to Dunn-Wessex: [Send the Lila Executor-class Super Star Destroyer immediately to join the battle. Otherwise, there will be no battleship in the northern border of the Empire that can withstand the power of the Titan battleship. If Governor Dunn is worried that the Lila is being abused, then please ask the Governor to personally lead the Super Star Destroyer to the battlefield and personally supervise the battle! 】
Under pressure, Dunn-Wessex had to agree to send the Lila Executor-class Star Destroyer to the front line of the planet Birbrin. Not only that, but also brought a large number of reinforcements.
This brings Thrawn's strength on the Birbrin planet to 300 capital ships and more than 800 small and medium-sized warships.
But this kind of force obviously cannot compare with the Northern Fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn, so Admiral Thrawn chose to block it in the outer airspace of the Bilbulin system.
He carefully studied every hyperspace channel on the Birbrin planet, calculated the traffic volume and specific direction of these channels, and then deployed a large number of air mines in hundreds of areas, with a large number of hyperspace blockers mixed in among the air mines. .
While Dunn-Wessex handed over the Lila super Star Destroyer to Thrawn, it also sent four unique warships-the Interceptor-class Star Destroyer.
This is a modified Star Destroyer based on the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. After removing half of the firepower configuration and two-thirds of the hangar, 8 sets of gravity well projectors were installed on the battleship to make the battleship look more beautiful. It seems that there are 8 more hemispherical bulges.
On the battlefield, as long as the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer deploys all its gravity well projectors, it can block hyperspace jumps in the entire star field, thereby preventing local fleets from maneuvering and forcing them to compete with their own fleets for firepower.
Admiral Thrawn did not use these four Blocker-class Star Destroyers to operate together with the main fleet, and then let them prevent the Kingdom of Dawn fleet from escaping during the battle.
Just kidding, the strength in his hands now is only half of Severance Tann's Northern Fleet, not to mention the performance gap between the two warships. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid he's the one who's ready to run away at any time!
However, Thrawn deployed three of the four Interdictor-class Star Destroyers at three locations after his precise calculations. The deployment of gravity well projectors here would increase the number of Severance Tann's fleet heading to Bill. The difficulty of Planet Bryn. The last Blocker-class Star Destroyer was deployed near the planet Birbrin, preparing to block the Dawn Kingdom's transport ships from sneaking over to deliver supplies, or preparing to escape from the planet.
Although the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer can only sustain gravity well projection for one day after being fully charged, it is enough.
In this duel between Severance Tann and Thrawn, Thrawn was the first to put down his first chess piece.
This chess piece is called - avoid war. Under the current conditions, he had no intention of engaging in a fleet battle with Severance Tann.
……
After arriving at the planet Mequito, Severance Tann briefly repaired and then checked the strength of the troops in the north.
After two defeats, the Battle of Arkania and the Second Battle of Birbrin, the Kingdom of Dawn's troops in the north are now stretched thin.
In addition to the troops currently used to defend major planets such as Mejito, Murinster, and Ord-Mantel, the fleet still assembled on the planet Dolin and looking at the planet Bilbulin from a distance is their last maneuver. fleet.
This fleet includes 2,000 geth battleships, 15 capital ships, 70 heavy cruisers, and 1,100 small and medium-sized battleships.
Not only that, the morale of officers and soldiers at all levels was low, and they were generally pessimistic about the development of the war situation.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Although strictly speaking, both sides suffered a huge defeat plus a small defeat in the northern border, which was equivalent to a two-to-two draw.
But you must know that it is also a draw. The morale of the two sides who are equalized after leading 2-0 is absolutely different from that of the two sides who are equalized after being behind 0-2!
After reviewing the current situation, Severance Tann made a judgment on the current war situation.
First of all, the formation of the Northern Fleet by the Kingdom of Dawn is already the result of allocating troops from the southern border, which is equivalent to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. In other words, it is unlikely that more reinforcements will be sent to the Kingdom of Dawn for a long time to come. The only things the Northern Fleet can count on now are the newly built warships built by those super companies.
The geth also need to digest and learn the technology of the Gallente Federation before they can start the construction of a new generation of Gallente warships. Until then, their fleets can only be used for harassment.
On the other hand, the Empire, although they currently do not have enough troops in the north, it is foreseeable that more warships will be put into the battlefield in the future. Their industrial production capacity far exceeds that of the Kingdom of Dawn, so they will receive more and more reinforcements.
But there is another advantage - that is, with the fall of Fangduo planet, the Galactic Empire's industrial production capacity will drop significantly in the next three months, and then it will gradually recover.
Therefore, in front of Severance Tann, it seems that the best option is to attack quickly! Decide the winner as soon as possible!
But, is that really the case?
