Chapter 347: The Battle of Naboo (2)
345. The Battle of Naboo (2)
The planet Naboo, the human capital city of Theed.
The Minister of Security walked quickly to the palace and came to the King's Hall.
Now the entire planet Naboo, including the city of Theed, is under full martial law. Basically, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Facing the blatant invasion of the Trade Federation, the planet Naboo is doing its best to prepare even if it is unable to do so.
In the king's hall, the Queen of Naboo planet, dressed in a rich dress and with thick makeup on her face, sat upright on the throne. The queen's maids stood behind her, while the Minister of Defense, the Minister of the Interior and other key administrative personnel of the entire planet Naboo were separated. columns on both sides.
Everyone's face is full of worry.
"Your Majesty the Queen! The Trade Federation refuses to withdraw troops and refuse to negotiate. Their only demand is for us to surrender unconditionally! And sign an even more unequal peace treaty!" The Minister of Security came to the Queen, shook his head and sighed.
"Get me through the Trade Federation commander's communication, and I'll talk to him personally." the queen said.
The communicator was activated, the holographic projection flashed, and the projections of Newt Gunray, the Governor of the Trade Federation, and Rune Harkou, the adjutant, appeared in front. The Queen said expressionlessly: "The current behavior of the Trade Federation is a violation of the laws of the Republic! You must withdraw your troops immediately, otherwise the Republic will not tolerate your invasion!"
Newt Gunray pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh? Invasion? Her Majesty, you should pay attention to your wording. There is no invasion here. Everything is legal. We are serious businessmen and act in accordance with the law."
“There is no article in the constitution of the Republic that can support such a barbaric invasion by you!”
“Oh, this matter has to be decided by the Congress of the Republic, not your planet Naboo. . Besides, this is your first breach of contract.”
“The unequal treaty signed by the former king Ars-Veruna should have been invalidated since then. It fundamentally violates the principles of fairness and justice of the Republic! The people of Naboo will never agree!"
"Let's just wait and see," Newt Gunray said coldly. After talking, the communication was closed.
Queen Amidala stared blankly in the direction of the communicator, her expression completely hidden by her thick makeup. After a moment of silence, she said: "Immediately report the situation here to the Republic Assembly. In addition, Get me through the communication of our congressman, Sheev Palpatine, right away.”
The holographic projection projected an image of Sheev Palpatine, with his hairline high and gray. His hair was neatly combed, his aquiline nose looked very energetic, and he always had a kind smile on his face.
He bowed and saluted the Queen, and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard about what happened on the planet Naboo, and I reported the situation to Speaker Finis-Valorum as soon as possible. Of course, I think it would be better if you issued a formal request for help in the name of the Queen of Naboo."
"I hope the Republic can stop the Trade Federation's invasion and impose sanctions on them. , and even take back their trade privileges," the Queen said coldly.
Palpatine sighed, the expression on his face seemed a little hesitant and a little lonely, and then he said with some embarrassment: "Okay, I will fight for this matter in the Parliament."< br>
"Please ensure the Republic's position on this matter, because once our trade routes are cut off, our material reserves will not last long," the Queen said.
"Okay, my queen." Palpatine bowed again and wanted to turn off the communication, but seemed to want to say something, but still turned it into a sigh and turned off the communication. ...
Trade Federation flagship command center.
Run Harkou looked at the azure planet Naboo through the porthole, and said with lingering fear: "It's okay, okay, the reaction of the planet Naboo is not very violent."
"The key is not on the planet Naboo, but on the Republic!" Newt Gunray said: "We are standing still now, waiting for the queen of the planet Naboo to come and beg us!"
"But..." Just when Rune Harkou was about to say something, he looked left and right again to make sure there was no one nearby before whispering: "Didn't the Lord want us to occupy the planet Naboo?"
"Send ground troops. Occupying them and besieging them to make them surrender are two different things!" Newt Gunray said with a gloomy face, "We can't block our own retreat! Once we send out ground troops, we will really violate the laws of the Republic! "
"This is the best, this is the best," Rune Harkou said, patting his chest.
"The planet Naboo doesn't have many troops, and they can't support it." Newt Gunray snorted coldly, looked at the military observers of the Fourth Group sitting on the other side, smiled again and said: " This battle is destined to be impossible, so just treat it as a vacation.”
The relationship between the Trade Alliance and the Fourth Group is now very good, and the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser project that the two parties are jointly developing is also in progress, so Newt Gunray is naturally very polite to the representatives here.
The representative sent by the Fourth Group is the current Army Commander-in-Chief Xiao Guanghua. Tang Xiao also knows that the war on the planet Naboo is mainly based on ground war. The battle in space is not fierce. It has no reference value either.
Xiao Guanghua nodded calmly and said politely, "Anyway, we also need to learn from the Trade Alliance to improve our level in all aspects."
He had already cursed in his heart Well, if Tang Xiao hadn't strictly ordered him not to interfere in the trade alliance's decisions before leaving, he would have even wanted to go up and beat these two cowards!
You are invading, brother! And your 60 Rookery Hook-class cargo ships contain a full army of 6 million robots! At this time, instead of landing directly on the ground and capturing the opponent's supreme commander alive to avoid more variables in the night, you actually want to wait for others to surrender?
Your opponent is a planet with a population of 4.5 billion! Even if we only count the human political power, there are more than one billion people. If you look around, you can find a large number of passionate men. How could they give in so easily?
And you are actually worried that ground invasion will violate the law? Brother, your current behavior is already shitting on the face of the Galactic Republic, okay? Whether there is a ground invasion or not, the Republic has been offended to the end! Why don't we end the fight quickly, cook the rice before we go to the parliament to argue, and still think about whether it is illegal?
Newt Gunlay accepted Xiao Guanghua's compliments and said: "Actually, we also took the opportunity of this battle to learn how to use the robot army to fight. As you can see , the B-1 combat robot does not perform well in large-scale combat and cooperation due to computing speed issues. Therefore, we converted the Rookery Hook-class cargo ship into a robot control ship, and our controllers coordinated the robots. Combat. At least in the previous simulation tests, these rigid B-1 combat robots performed much better."
He looked at Xiao Guanghua, "Are you in charge of the army unit of the Fourth Group? We have ordered 10 million B-1 combat robots, so you need to take a good look at this battle and learn from it."
Xiao Guanghua nodded and said nothing.
"Well, since we have nothing to do here, I brought some Shula fruit wine, a specialty of the Naboo planet, just in time to wish us to occupy the Naboo planet, hahaha!" Rune Harkou came over and said.
