Chapter 1370: Tarkin's Fist
1370, Tarkin's Fist
Two months ago, the Supreme Strategic Headquarters of the Galactic Republic, the Central Command Center.
A combat report has been placed on the table of the command center. This is a huge combat organization plan.
Involving 31 galaxies, 9 industrial planets, 17 agricultural planets, and 42 interstellar mines, a total of more than 200 billion tons of huge material supplies. Covers detailed process plans for production, transportation, loading and unloading, receiving, etc.
It even includes transportation route maps, escort fleet numbers and arrangements, defense changes at various stages, advance arrangements and detection of hyperspace channels, etc. Everything is so that this huge batch of materials can be transported to the target location.
The establishment of the combat fleet has also been submitted. A total of 170 transport ships and 5 cheering-class assault landing ships can transport the troops, escorted by 40 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, to ensure that they can reach the target safely. .
This huge fleet will undoubtedly be undertaken by the Kuat Power Shipyard. The name of the Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Sheev Palpatine, is clearly signed on the executive order for fleet deployment and manufacturing. This administrative order involves an order for hundreds of warships, and the distribution of these warships is directly related to the future fleet distribution and offensive planning of the Galactic Republic.
However, during the final review and approval, the escort battleship plan was rejected, and only five Jaeger-class battlecruisers and some Karak-class light cruisers that had withdrawn from front-line combat were approved.
The main reason for rejection is that the separatists no longer have any organized fleets near the attack target.
But apart from that, other material requirements and personnel requirements have been approved! An army of up to 7 million natural people has begun to gather on four planets, and a simulated environment has been set up to strengthen training based on the topography of the target planet.
At the same time, this army is equipped with a large number of armored units including AT-TE walkers, TX-130 Saber hover tanks, AV-7 self-propelled artillery, and Zephyr-G hover motorcycles and turbine tanks. Fabrication by Rossana Heavy Engineering has also begun, and shipping has begun.
This is the largest landing operation of the Galactic Republic in recent times, and for the smooth launch of this operation, all aspects of the Galactic Republic have made great efforts and sacrifices.
At least the funds needed for this combat plan, the Minister of Finance of the Republic fainted on the spot after seeing the fund list.
You must know that this is a very large-scale landing operation involving 7 million troops. Before this, when the Galactic Republic used clone soldiers as the main force, they generally rarely organized more than 500,000 troops. .
Because such a huge army fighting on another planet only requires resources for one day of eating, drinking and sleeping, which are also astronomical figures!
If the navy and logistics personnel are included, the number of combatants in this battle was close to 12 million!
Such a combat plan, if it were placed in the past, it could be said to be a crime! The person who proposed this plan will not be arrested immediately, but he will definitely be removed from office on the spot.
But this time it is different, because the signature on the battle plan is-Wilhuff Tarkin!
And now two months have passed, and this battle has reached the moment when the arrow is ready.
...
The inner ring of the Milky Way, the planet Alderan, the capital of the Fourth Army of the Galactic Republic.
A staff officer quickly walked into the office, "Your Majesty the Governor!! Urgent call from the Supreme Strategic Command! The combat plan will be launched 49 standard hours in advance!" There was no light in the office. The Acting Governor of the Fourth Army Wilhuff Tarkin stood in the shadows. When he heard the report, he just said coldly, "I understand, stand down."
"Yes! "The staff officer gave a military salute and turned to leave.
With a click, the office door closed, and the interior returned to darkness. In this dark space, only Tarkin's heavy breathing could be heard.
The communicator rang, and after it was connected, the projection of Sheev Palpatine, Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, appeared in front of him, "I hope you are ready, my friend."
"A quick and brutal victory." Wilhuff Tarkin seemed to have some questions, "As I once said at the beginning of the war, during the Battle of Bespin - fear and intimidation, this is what the galaxy is like now. What the Republic does not possess...that is why we must spend more energy to use realistic force to deter those villains."
"I very much agree with you, Governor Tarkin." Patin smiled and said, "It's just a pity that we missed a lot of opportunities."
"It doesn't matter, this is exactly what the Galactic Republic cannot provide." Tarkin said lightly, "But This time, I must achieve this goal! Beat the separatists completely! Let other hostile galaxies in the galaxy no longer dare to look at us!"
As he spoke, he pumped his fists vigorously.
"I will give you all the support I can, my friend. This is what a comrade with the same ideals should provide you." Palpatine said, "It's just a pity that in combat Regarding the allocation of ships, I finally failed to convince the council because they believed that the fleet should be used in places where it is more needed... such as the Yago-Dur system."
"I will never do it to you. Don't make irresponsible remarks about the support you give me, because I understand that what you give me must be all you can give. "It's just that the Republic... haha, we all know what's going on. "
"The timing is still a little short of time. Many people in the current parliament still have illusions." Palpatine said, "I believe that if you can complete the operation perfectly this time, the opposition in the parliament will The voice will be even quieter. At that time, you will become the Governor of the Fourth Army."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, the planet Onderon, and the Behemoth-class battlecruiser. All the production lines will be ground to powder under the iron heel of the empire!" Tajin said ferociously.
"Oh~~I think you used the wrong word, my friend." Palpatine said knowingly.
"But in my heart, this is the truth of this galaxy. Power! Is the truth!" After Tarkin bowed to Palpatine, he turned around and strode out of the office.
Outside the office door, two guards in black robes stood motionless. The black robes obscured their faces, but even ordinary people could feel the presence of these two guards. The terrifying aura emanating from it.
“Let’s go to my flagship, Tarkin’s Will.” Tarkin said without looking back.
……
Onderon planet attack plan, operation code name - Tarkin's Fist!
