Chapter 879 Strategic Layout (two-in-one chapter)
878, Strategic Layout
According to General Grievous’s plan, the fleets of the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group will take the initiative to attack , first attacking the Galactic Republic fleet surrounding the planets Mequito and Murinster.
Now that there are a considerable number of Behemoth-class battlecruisers, it is not difficult for the two combined fleets to do this.
Then, they will attack the capital of the 8th Army of the Galactic Republic, the planet Ord-Mantel.
Now the 8th Army of the Galactic Republic is worrying about the geth affairs, and I believe that the planet Oud-Mantle will not last long. The only difficulty is how to put on a show so that the Galactic Republic does not notice the relationship between the Geth and the Dawn Planet.
Once there is a problem with the 8th Army, the Galactic Republic will never sit idly by, because in addition to the survival of the 8th Army, it also involves the Geth and the Interstellar Banking Association. The Republic will definitely It was impossible to let these two huge threats break free from their cages.
At the same time, the Dawn Planet will also launch an attack on the planet Eriadu, the capital of the 18th Army of the Republic, in the western region.
If it were normal circumstances, the Galactic Republic would not worry about the safety of the planet Eriadu at all, but the situation is different now. The Dawn planet, which has received the help of the Blade Fleet, now really has the strength to threaten this planet. It can be said to be the most important planet in the Western Region of the entire galaxy.
Once the planet Eriadu is captured, it will be a huge setback for the Galactic Republic, and it will also mean the loss of control in the Western Theater.
In this way, both directions will make the Galactic Republic extremely uncomfortable, and the Republic has now made a choice - they will concentrate their freshly prepared warships on the planet Eriadu, where they will fight with the blade fleet of the Dawn planet. Fight to the death.
Next, General Grievous will personally lead the main fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems to attack the planet Antar.
This is the third time that General Grievous has attacked the planet Antar, and unlike the previous two tentative attacks, this time, General Grievous is determined to win!
Antar is a gas giant planet with six satellites. Two of them, Antar 4 and 5, have an environment suitable for life and have developed developed industries. , and it is also rich in a large amount of rare ores.
The most important thing is that the Antar planet is currently the planet closest to the core of the Galactic Republic that the Independent System Confederation can attack on the frontal battlefield.
Once the planet Antar is captured, the Galactic Republic will have to concentrate its defensive forces on the planet Delon and guard this transportation hub in the southern inner ring star region.
In this way, the entire southern region of the Milky Way will be isolated and helpless.
In this way, the fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems will easily defeat the four armies in the Southern Territory Theater - the 15th Army, the 17th Army, the 14th Army and the 13th Army, thereby completely occupying the entire Southern Territory from the middle ring to the outer ring. area!
Among these four armies, the 15th and 17th armies had already suffered heavy losses in the previous festival offensive launched by General Grievous. The area under their jurisdiction was directly penetrated by the Confederate fleet, and with the continuous reinforcement of the The battle of the 18th Army has been drained.
In addition, the 20th Army was blocked by the Given people on the planet Yag-Dur. Once the 15th and 17th Army were defeated, the 18th Army trapped on the planet Eriadu could survive the attack of the Blade Fleet. How long it can last is unknown.
The main garrison area of the 13th Army is the Hutt space. They suffered heavy losses in the battle on the planet Christophsis. Coupled with the all-out melee between the two Hutt families that followed, they were no longer able to care about each other. Now this legion, which has the most extensive jurisdiction among all 20 legions, is thankful to God that it can keep its capital from being captured.
The worst thing is the 14th Army. They have been attacked by the Technology Alliance. The capital of the planet Ryloth was once beaten by the troops of the Technology Alliance's foreman Walter Tambor all the way to the capital Lesu City. But later, the Republic army, with the support of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, ventured directly into the Confederate army base camp, captured Walter Tambor, and lifted the siege of the planet Ryloth.
This is a battle that took place during the Fourth Civilization's attack on the planet Terminus.
Although the Republic has temporarily won the victory, even so, the situation of the 14th Army is still in danger, and they have basically lost control of the area under their jurisdiction.
Walter Tambor later escaped with the help of internal traitors, and now according to General Grievous's battle plan, he once again led a large number of robot legions to come back. At a time when the situation was turbulent in several other directions, even the Republic The Supreme Strategic Command is not optimistic about the future of the 14th Army at all.
They believed that the 14th Army would be the second army to be destroyed after the 19th Army, and they had made full preparations for this.
Finally, while the flames of war are igniting in several directions of the galaxy at the same time, the Confederation of Independent Systems will cooperate with the Quarren Isolation Alliance and begin to formally interfere in the political situation of the Mon Calamari planet, striving to seize this planet with advanced shipbuilding The planetary forces of industry were brought under his control without bloodshed.
By the way, the reason why this plan does not involve the 16th Army of the Republic is because although this army is numbered later, they are actually the army guarding the southern inner ring star sector and the southern star sector. The most important transportation hub is the gateway to the planet Delong. Even between their jurisdiction and the 18th Army, there is a 17th Army separated by them, which is simply beyond their reach.
So the attack on the 16th Army is not part of this plan. General Grievous is mainly targeting the Central Star Sector.
This strategic plan is interlocking, well-planned, and deadly. Every step directly hits the most vulnerable weakness of the Republic!
Now, this plan is in full swing!
Tang Xiao has received an order from General Grievous, requiring him to launch an offensive against the planet Eriadu, the capital of the Republic's 18th Army, within a month.
This time can be said to be just right, because the previous leader of Lundili Interstellar Power Company, Bangila Ulan, promised Tang Xiao to provide a maintenance center for the blade fleet in one month. Required Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser parts.
Deducting the time difference between the two, the fourth civilization has less than 8 days to complete the fleet renovation and launch an attack. This also means that the Fourth Civilization cannot use the Blade Fleet elsewhere and can only fight head-on with the Republic on the planet Eriadu.
Tang Xiao absolutely does not believe that there is no joint plan between Darth Sidious and Count Dooku behind this.
Fortunately, this is the established strategy of the Fourth Civilization. It is so worth it to exchange the Blade Fleet for the planet Eriadu!
Now the main fleet of the Federation of Independent Systems has begun to gather near the planet Antar, and the fleet of the Technology Alliance has also arrived on the planet Geonosis, which is only 7 seconds away from the planet Ryloth.
At the same time, the Behemoth-class battlecruiser fleet jointly developed and manufactured by Tyran Heavy Industries, a subsidiary of the Fourth Group, and the Interstellar Banking Association also secretly set off from the shipyard on the planet Onderon and are expected to orbit the planet in 15 days. A large circle secretly arrives on the planet Oud-Setus, and will then also raid the planet Mequito a month later.
This offensive can be said to have brought out the power of the major super corporate giants of the Federation of Independent Systems to suppress the situation. It will be a thunderous attack.
Time is running out for the Galactic Republic.
At the same time, in Tang Xiao's view, there is not much time left for the Federation of Independent Systems.
The same is true for the fourth civilization...
..."Mr. Governor, we are done with the planet Harunkar." In the holographic projection, Luna - phantom pendulum He waved his hand and said.
"Very good. You must have had a lot of fun?" Darth Malthael said lightly.
"Happier than ever before!" Luna Huan showed a cheerful smile, "Sure enough, things on the Governor's side are more fun!"
"Then, Depa Billaba has fallen. Going to the dark side, huh?" Darth Malthael asked.
"Indeed. However, she is still loyal to the Jedi Order and to the Republic...Hello, Lord Governor." Luna Dream's figure appeared in the projection, her hands politely folded on her abdomen, Bow and salute this way.
The corners of Darth Malthael's mouth turned up slightly, "She is loyal to the Jedi Order and the Republic, and does not go against my purpose. Okay, you should also leave Harunkar, right? What's next? You'd better not get involved, otherwise you will be very sensitive, so this is Master Windu's matter."
"Oh! Do you want to kill Master Windu? "Luna-Huan suddenly realized.
"How will you know if you don't try?" Darth Malthael said.
Luna Dream said: "We met Quinlan Vos."
"He is a spy of the Jedi Order. Keep him and help him if necessary. He It plays a big role." Darth Malthael nodded and said, not surprised at all.
"It is indeed the Governor, he really knows everything!" Luna-Huan said with a smile.
"Go back, thank you for your hard work." Darth Malthael waved his hand.
The Dream Sisters held hands, held up their skirts and gave him a ladylike salute at the same time, then closed the communication.
"Master Windu..." Darth Malthael raised his hand and looked at the gauntlet of Little Klash on his wrist, and said coldly to himself, "I should also go out and do some activities. "
He pressed a button on the communicator, and a heroic female Chiss wearing a white navy uniform appeared in the holographic projection.
With sea blue skin, bright red pupils, and long dark hair, she is beautiful and exotic.
The commander of the Fourth Civilization B Fleet, Admiral Severance Tann.
She looked at Darth Malthael, and a slight blush suddenly appeared on her cold and proud face, but she was quickly pressed down, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep and respectful voice: "What are your orders? Boss... ...Master."
"General Grievous requires us to launch an attack on the planet Eriadu within a month, that is, within 35 days at most, our plan must be carried out. Can it be done?" Darth Malthael asked coldly.
“35 days.” Severance Tann’s serious expression did not seem to change at all, “If the schedule given by Rendili can be completed on time, the parts we need will be available in 27 Arriving at the planet Glenson after 8 days, only 130 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers can be completed in 8 days, and most of the remaining ones are seriously damaged and require more time to repair."
She is deep. He took a deep look at Darth Malthael and said, "So my suggestion is to launch an attack immediately."
"Attack immediately?" Even Darth Malthael was also This plan shocked me, "How many battleships do you have available now?"
"35 Dreadnought-class ships." Severance Tann said.
"Although I have great trust in your command ability, even if you are in charge, 35 Dreadnought-class ships are not enough to make a splash on the defense line of Eriadu." Das-Ma Sayer said coldly.
Severance Tann seemed a little proud when she saw that Darth Malthael could not judge her plan, but she still explained: "My goal is of course not the planet Eriadu. , my target... is the planet Malastar."
Dass Malthael frowned, "Are you going to cut off the supply line to the planet Eriadu? You can cross the Republic. Blockade and reach the planet Marastal?”
“When I start taking action, you will understand how far I can go,” Severance Tann said proudly. But I need help.”
"Darth Lilim? She will follow me this time." Darth Malthael said.
"That's just right. What I need is Adi Gallia and Shirley Taqi." Severance Tann said.
“Ciri-Taqi has succumbed to the power of the dark side. She has fallen. As a user of the dark force, Darth Lilim is much more powerful than her. At the same time, Adi Gallia But she didn't fall into the darkness - even though she was resurrected by me and could no longer escape my grasp, her belief in the light remained firm. "Why did you choose them?" Darth Malthael asked.
Severance Tann replied expressionlessly: "Darth Lilim has been away from you for a long time, so you will definitely take her with you this time and continue to train her. So. , I can only choose among the remaining candidates. Adi Gallia and Shire Taki are better at controlling fighter jets than Darth Lilim, and they are more suitable for my plan... ugh..."
The invisible force directly strangled Severance Tann's fragile neck and lifted her up! Then plopped her against the wall!
Darth Malthael sneered, "It is a very dangerous thing to speculate on my thoughts."
Severance Tann endured the pain and got up, but her eyes looked towards A certain part of his body, "I believe that I have tasted the most dangerous taste in the entire galaxy..."
Darth Malthael's golden vertical pupils narrowed, this woman , are you actually flirting with me?
