Chapter 537 Bespin Line of Defense
535, Bespin Line of Defense
“60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers?” Matt Horner frowned, “According to our intelligence, this It is a battleship about the same size as a Cole-class battlecruiser."
"And there is no doubt that relying on the profound manufacturing heritage of Kuat Power Shipyard, the reliability of this kind of battleship is definitely higher than the current one. Our main battleship is the Cole-class battlecruiser. But there is good news. Because the Jaeger-class has a huge hangar, their firepower is not as good as the Cole-class." In the holographic projection, the Minister of Military Intelligence said. Mrs. M said.
"Since the Galactic Republic is so confident that sending 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers can defeat our deployment on Bespin, they must have their own reasons." Matt Horner said: " I have to prepare for the worst.”
"In addition, His Excellency the Governor also said that General Severance Tann's secret military operation is expected to start within 15 standard days. Once that happens, the Republic will have to devote its main force to her direction. At that time, the war situation on Bespin will turn around," Mrs. M said.
"15 standard days? I understand, I will deploy based on this premise." Matt Horner raised his wrist and looked at the perpetual calendar on his watch, and set a date reminder for himself , then put his hands behind his back again, and said very seriously: "I will definitely defend the Bespin planet."
Ending the communication, Matt Horner turned around and looked through the porthole into outer space, where , hundreds of engineering ships are working tirelessly to build a large number of space defenses.
This is the defense system of the Traders Emergency Alliance in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire". It mainly includes a small Gauss cannon fire platform and a space hangar.
The Gauss Firepower Platform is actually a small space station 60 meters high and more than 30 meters wide. It is equipped with two 500mm caliber heavy electromagnetic guns, two 16-unit pulse rocket launchers and two close-in defense lasers. gun. In fact, according to the design of the Traders Emergency Alliance, this firepower platform should also be equipped with a meson ray cannon, but this weapon is still under development and has not been able to catch up with this battle.
The hangar platform is a small space station 50 meters high and 120 meters wide, equipped with four twin-mounted close-range laser cannons and two hangars. Each hangar can carry a squadron of 12 Phantom fighters, or 24 Vulture robot fighters, and has relatively complete maintenance and supply equipment.
This kind of hangar platform is mainly used to liberate the main battleships, and can disperse the battleships and fighter jets on the planet so that they will not be blocked by the enemy. And once there is no need to take off and land fighter jets, the shields of the main battleships will be more concentrated.
You must know that in various battle cases, there are many cases where warships are directly hit hard by local fighters because they have to take off and land fighter jets.
In order to enhance the concealment of the Gauss Firepower Platform and Hangar Platform, the engineers of the Fourth Civilization also installed stealth equipment for this small space station. Although the stealth must be stopped as soon as a fighter is fired or takes off and lands, it also greatly improves the concealment of these two interstellar defenses.
Currently around the Bespin planet, mainly on the outskirts of the Bespin Life Zone near Cloud City, Matt Horner is building a strong line of defense.
In addition to the 80 unmanned missile platforms previously deployed by the Sova-class aircraft carrier to block Bespin, 20 hangar platforms and 180 Gauss firepower platforms are also being built here.
Not only that, Matt Horner also deployed 20 empty minefields. These empty minefields are mainly arranged outside Cloud City and several other largest floating cities. Anyway, there is no cost. If you can conceal it, If you go to the landing ship of the Republic, you will make a lot of money.
But this is not enough!
Matt Horner knew in his heart that now that hyperspace channels connect the entire galaxy, it would not take a day to sail from one end of the galaxy to the other. This situation has led to an extremely fast-paced and brutal war, and industrial capacity will also be the most important factor.
In other words, if one party has strong industrial capabilities, then they can build a large number of warships and launch attacks from multiple directions simultaneously within a day, and their numerical advantage will be infinitely expanded.
The other side, on the other hand, can only block the opponent's maneuvers by setting up hyperspace blockers. Moreover, if the hyperspace channel passes through large-scale warships at high density in a short period of time, it will also cause disturbances. In this way, there is still some resistance. In other words, Matt Horner understands that defending in Bespin for 15 days is not easy!
The most important thing is that the Republic’s fleet can afford to lose, but the Fourth Civilization’s fleet cannot afford to lose!
Matt Horner pondered for a long time, and another combat plan began to take shape in his mind. He thought about it and connected to the communication of Igor Zavalov, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Fourth Civilization. .
……
Time went back 6 days, and the fleets of the Fourth Civilization were divided into three groups. In addition to Fleet A, which attacked the planet Bespin, Severance Tann also sent her adjutant to lead the main force of Fleet B of the Fourth Civilization. Planet Seria.
After the civil war on the planet Theria ended and a regime was established that was alienated from the Republic and willing to accept technological products, Elder Dor-Femi Bonmi became the supreme ruler of the planet Theria.
But when separatism really began to rise, Grand Elder Dole's attitude became somewhat ambiguous. Although he is relatively close to the separatism, he has always maintained a distant distance, neither supporting nor opposing. Whenever Count Dooku wants to sign a treaty with him, he will always say the planet Serria. It has just begun to develop and cannot withstand such a war.
On May 21, when the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems officially met at war, the Grand Elder of the planet Seria, Doll-Femi-Bonmi, declared the neutrality of the planet Seria.
From the perspective of their planet, this decision is understandable.
But from the perspective of the Fourth Civilization and the Confederation of Independent Systems, this is betrayal! Because you made an ambiguous statement to us at the beginning, and we also spent real money to help you build an industrial and technological system. Now you have turned your back and declared neutrality?
Sorry, I don’t recognize it.
On May 23, the main force of Fleet B set off.
In the early morning of May 24, Fleet B arrived at the planet Seriya.
When bursts of extremely strong white light appeared outside the planet's gravitational circle, and then one thousand-meter-level giant ships appeared here one after another, the entire Seriya planet fell into panic.
20 Cole-class battlecruisers, 20 Higra-class battlecruisers, and 20 Sova-class aircraft carriers. This kind of power can easily burn the planet Seriya into a glass ball in one day.
The Great Elder Dole Fermi Bonmi was horrified. He never thought that a planet like his with no industrial capabilities could actually attract such a huge fleet. ?
He quickly asked the diplomat to connect to the communication of the commander of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, hoping to solve this problem through diplomatic channels.
What if the Separatist fleet appears here and further attracts the Galactic Republic fleet! -
