Chapter 497 The first step
495. The first step
200 battleships!
This is the strength of the fourth civilization’s navy now!
These include 50 Higra-class battlecruisers, 80 Cole-class battlecruisers, 40 Sova-class aircraft carriers, and 30 Masha-class heavy cruisers.
These are kilometer-level battleships, among which the Cole-class is 1,100 meters long, the Higla-class is 1,009 meters long, the Sova-class is 1,300 meters long, and the Masha-class is 940 meters long.
In addition, there are more than 600 small and medium-sized warships of various types.
Currently serving in the Fourth Civilization Navy include the Blue Sky-class command ship, the Xingzi-class maintenance drone carrier, the Brown Bear-class heavy destroyer, the Cobalt Alloy-class heavy frigate, the Apocalypse-class light cruiser, and the Vengeance -class light destroyers, Javelin-class guided missile frigates, Valkyrie-class guided missile frigates, Spear-class light frigates, Manghan-class light frigates, and Guard-class air defense destroyers.
The Brown Bear-class heavy destroyer is the latest warship to enter the Fourth Civilization Navy. This warship from "Sins of a Solar Empire" was originally a heavy cruiser, but because it is only 290 meters long, according to the Fourth Civilization standards and was downgraded to a heavy destroyer.
This heavy destroyer places great emphasis on defensive capabilities. It is equipped with extremely heavy armor, and a 300mm caliber super-heavy rapid-fire cannon is installed above and on both sides of the warship. This rapid-fire cannon can fire at It fires heavy artillery shells with a diameter of 300 mm at a speed of 400 rounds.
And depending on the warhead of the shell, it can also play different roles, including plasma shells, high-explosive shells, electromagnetic shells, and armor-piercing shells.
In order to maximize the power of these three guns, the Brown Bear-class heavy destroyer not only has thick armor, but also has a shield with extremely high electric capacity and a powerful engine. This allows this heavy destroyer to achieve an acceleration of up to 3300G! This straight-line speed is even faster than a fighter jet!
When the situation cannot be resolved, the Brown Bear-class heavy destroyer rushes directly into the battlefield from an unexpected direction, then quickly approaches the local warships, pouring out a huge amount of large-caliber artillery shells in a short period of time, giving A fatal blow to the opponent's warship.
Of course, such high energy consumption and such high ammunition consumption make the Brown Bear-class heavy destroyer lack effective endurance.
This kind of combat mode has never appeared in this galaxy.
200 capital ships and more than 600 small and medium-sized battleships are divided into three main fleets. Among them, Commander of Fleet A Matt Horner has 10 Sova-class aircraft carriers, 50 Cole-class battlecruisers and 10 Hiigaran-class battlecruiser.
Fleet B, commanded by Severance Tann, has 20 Cole-class battlecruisers, 20 Higra-class battlecruisers and 20 Sova-class aircraft carriers.
Fleet C is the central fleet, responsible for guarding the Endor system. It has 20 Higurah-class battlecruisers, 10 Cole-class battlecruisers and 10 Sova-class aircraft carriers.
There are also 30 Martha-class heavy cruisers that have not yet been outfitted, so they have not yet entered active service. It is expected that in three months, these warships will be strengthened to 10 ships in each fleet.
Matt Horner and Severance Tann’s requirements for capital ships also showed their different command methods. Matt Horner is more interested in the powerful firepower of the Cole-class battlecruisers. His fleet command ideas are relatively traditional, mainly focusing on the artillery battle between the two sides.
Severance Tann’s command is more flexible. Influenced by the style of the Chiss Naval Academy, Tann pays more attention to late strikes. Therefore, the Sova-class aircraft carrier is very important to her to contain the enemy. means. And when she needs to use Cole-class battleships to launch an assault, the overall situation has basically been decided.
The number of fleets reported by Dawn Planet to Count Dooku is also this number.
Soon, an appointment was sent from the preparatory separatist Supreme Military Command, appointing Tang Xiao as the Western Theater Commander and Admiral, and also appointed Matt Horner and Severance- Tann was admiral.
As for the Western War Zone, it is actually because the Endor galaxy is relatively close to the Western Realm and the Unknown Star Territory of the Milky Way, and most of the surrounding planets are neutral or simply uninhabited planets, so there are actually only Dawn Planet is a planet with a relatively clear political stance.
This is actually a habit inherited from the Galactic Republic. Anyone who is qualified to lead a fleet alone in battle must be awarded the rank of admiral.
And the current supreme leader of the separatist movement is Count Dooku, and all theater commanders and admirals are directly responsible to Count Dooku.
Afterwards, as core members of the separatist movement, the Fourth Group and the Dawn Planet also received their respective privileges. They will receive a considerable war tax from each Separatist planet based on the size of their army participating in the battle, which will be collected by the administrative agencies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
In fact, this is also a way to transfer the cost of war to the people, allowing innocent people to pay for the war of a few careerists.
In his speech, Count Dooku described the war tax as a 'necessary payment for the new order', and stated that in order to overthrow the powerful Galactic Republic and win freedom for the people of the Outer Rim Star Region, he led It is not an easy task for everyone to get rid of the exploitation of the inner and core planets. We must work together and do everything we can to win.
In other words, the thousands of galaxies that joined the separatist movement paid their own money to hire those corporate giants and industrially developed planets to help them fight this war.
However, now, those outer-ring planets that have been exploited by the aristocrats and comprador classes of the Galactic Republic have long been unbearable. Even if they know that this road is a glass of poisonous wine, they will drink it without hesitation.
The Prime Minister's Office of the Fourth Civilization, under the leadership of Francis Underwood, began to intensively implement the reform of the administrative structure of the Fourth Civilization itself, and on the other hand began to cooperate with the upcoming independent system confederation. While the administrative and military integration was being carried out, Tang Xiao was also discussing the first step of the combat plan at the Ministry of National Defense.
“First of all, I have confirmed with you that if there is no external intervention, then this war will happen in Gio within a month under a large number of accidental and inevitable conditions. An outbreak occurred on the planet Nosis." Tang Xiao looked at the senior military official of the Fourth Civilization sitting opposite him with a serious face.
Admiral Xian Hui, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Admiral Igor Zavalov, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Matt Horner, Commander of the Naval Fleet, Severance - General Tann, Mrs. M, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, and Helmut Zemo, the chief minister of the cabinet.
Tang Xiao said seriously: "The first thing we have to do is to reverse this future. Win on the planet Geonosis!"
