Chapter 715 Invasion of the Planet Erin (Part 2)
"General, our defenders have retreated more than ten kilometers. The defenders have been severely reduced. It is time to retreat!" In the underground command center of the planet Erin, fighting The staff officer said to General Cheng Shitao, who was directing the battle in front of the holographic map.
Cheng Shitao looked at the hundreds of triangles representing clone combat groups on the holographic map and remained silent.
From this macro perspective, it can be seen that these clone trooper combat groups advance and retreat in an orderly manner, just like hundreds of nails drilling holes into their defense line.
At this time, he saw that one of them had advanced at least two kilometers and rushed directly into the triangle of one of his own frontline maintenance stations. He connected to the communication and asked: "What happened to the Thorn Station?"< br>
"General, a few clone troopers broke in. They ran around and killed many people!" Gunshots and explosions kept coming from the other end of the communication. "The ammunition depot! The ammunition depot responded immediately! We can't let them infiltrate!" ”
The situation over there is obviously very critical, and the commander doesn’t even bother to talk to Cheng Shitao.
Cheng Shitao looked extremely ugly, put down the communicator, and said: "Blow up the equipment and retreat."
"Yes!!"
As the retreat order was issued, All the robots in the headquarters of Erin Planet immediately launched a desperate charge. The army and civilian personnel of the Fourth Civilization quickly planted the bombs in an orderly manner according to the plan, and then moved towards the transport ship.
However, at this moment, Jedi Master Shen Qiaoen, who was commanding operations on the front line, suddenly looked in a direction ahead and said seriously: "They want to run!"
"General, do you want to pursue them?" Clones the commander asked.
"No, you can't catch up. Continue to launch the attack as planned and capture the opponent's command center. This is obviously an energy supply center. Be sure to find where it is supplying energy!" Shen Qiaoen said Then, he jumped directly onto a hover motorcycle, instantly turned the engine to maximum, and pulled out a long line of smoke that quickly disappeared from sight.
......
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the planet Erin was attacked by the Republic and fell an hour ago. Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, who is in charge of the development of the extractor project, is on the planet Erin and has already Lost contact," Helmut Zemohui reports.
Francis Underwood rubbed his forehead. Dealing with such military affairs was indeed not his strong point, but now that Tang Xiao had disappeared after leaving a sentence, he felt a little uneasy.
Only after Tang Xiao left did some decision-making seem so dangerous.
In their impression, Tang Xiao was extremely decisive every time he made a decision, with almost no hesitation. Moreover, some seemingly unrelated decisions always turn out to be foresighted in the end. The most important thing is that they seldom make mistakes, which is why they have led the fourth civilization to the present.
So much so that everyone felt that Tang Xiao was the one who knew everything and was omnipotent. In addition, the higher-ups also knew Tang Xiao's identity as a Sith Lord, and the mysterious force gave Tang Xiao a layer of mythology.
And now...
"The planet Erin was suddenly attacked. How was the intelligence leaked? How did the Republic's army enter Hutt space? Moreover, the Republic's entry into Hutt space, does it mean that the attitude of the Hutts has changed?" French Underwood leaned against the back of the sofa and pondered. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Help me make an appointment with the Hutt Alok Besadi. I must understand the Hutt's attitude towards this matter now. In addition, warn me about the attack on the planet Erin." Count Dooku, requires the Federation of Independent Systems to immediately defend the planet Krant, and the Extractor’s experimental facilities must not be destroyed. Then, thoroughly investigate all personnel and material transportation information on the planet Erin, and find out the reason for the intelligence leak! "
"I think we may need to take some data away from the planet Cronte to prevent valuable experimental data from falling into the hands of the Republic." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said in a deep voice.
“If the research data and experimental models are taken away, the most direct impact is that the extractor project needs to be postponed. You know, according to our current experimental progress, we should be able to complete the extraction within 3 months After all, our final research topic is how to solve the problem of energy interference between the hyperspace engine and the energy extraction device. If the experimental model is dismantled, it will take at least a month to reinstall it. Time." Dr. Feng Yongwang, who is currently in charge of scientific research, pushed up his glasses and said.
Francis Underwood thought for a while and said: "First make a copy of the experimental data as a backup, and then send an additional fleet to strengthen the defense of the Cronte planet, as much as possible while ensuring safety. , will not affect the project progress.”
"Having said that, I still have to remind you, Your Excellency, Prime Minister. If you pursue a big and comprehensive approach, you may lose both ends. Greater benefits also mean greater risks. And the planet Kront is far away in the Hutt sector. , whether it is us or the Federation of Independent Systems, it will be very troublesome for the fleet to pass." Matt Horner said on the side.
“Now that you’ve decided, let’s do it.” Francis Underwood didn’t want to argue with him, but said slowly.
However, that night, when Francis Underwood was working in the Prime Minister's Office, he suddenly received an emergency report - the planet Cronte was attacked by the Galactic Republic.
There was a click, and the red wine glass in Francis' hand was crushed by him. The broken glass cut his palm, and blood dripped from it.
……
At the same time, in the middle ring of the Milky Way, in the Dustigsector, the planet HaruunKal.
This is a small and medium-sized planet with a diameter of 10,120 kilometers. If viewed from outer space, 70% of the planet seems to be covered by oceans. This seems to be a planet with a very suitable environment.
However, this is not the case. The oceans seen in outer space are actually oceans of gases brought out by the violent volcanic movements of the planet hundreds of millions of years ago, and these gases are absolutely fatal to life. of.
The only places on the planet that can survive are the huge mountains that penetrate deep into the atmosphere due to volcanic movements. Only by living in such places can we not be affected by the ocean of toxic gases.
This also resulted in the nomadic model of the inhabitants of the planet Harunkar, who used mountains as tribal units. The people living on the planet Harunkar are called Korunnai, which in the local language Which means Highlander (Uplander).
The genes and appearance of the Korunai are almost the same as humans, except that their skin is generally darker. In addition, almost all Korunai are Force-sensitive. According to research by the Jedi Order, this is most likely because they are descendants of Jedi who landed here during the Sith Wars.
It is such a hell-like planet that gave birth to great men like Jedi Master Mace Windu.
