Chapter 1421, The End of Onderon (Part 2)
1421, The End of Onderon (Part 2)
Governor Wilhuff Tarkin stood on the bridge of the flagship, looking through the screen The projection looked at a tragic scene.
The Archon-class Star Destroyer 'Tarkin's Will' is falling towards the planet Onderon. There is a gap on the side of the Star Destroyer, and a large amount of flames are pouring out. And out.
Before this Star Destroyer began to land on the Dirksen moon, its engine was partially destroyed and completely lost power because it fell into a Separatist trap.
After that, he arranged for several transport ships to use tractor beams to tow Tarkin's Will, and sent an engineering team to repair it, hoping to bring the battleship back as much as possible.
But the news fed back from the engineering team was disappointing - Tarkin's Will engine was so severely damaged that it was completely impossible to repair it. The only way is to wait for the end of this battle and have the Kuat Power Shipyard send a large engineering ship to completely replace the engine of the Star Destroyer, and finally drive to the Kuat planet for a complete overhaul.
So during the tragic landing battle on the Dexon satellite, Tarkin's Will floated lifelessly in space, becoming a silent bystander from beginning to end.
However, just when the war on the Dexon satellite finally came to an end, an accident suddenly occurred. There was another violent explosion inside Tarkin's Will. According to the engineering team's report, the explosion was likely caused by a leak of fuel in the Star Destroyer's still uncooled hypermatter reactor, which then detonated the ammunition depot.
As a result, the explosion caused a large amount of high-temperature gas and flames to be ejected from the interior of the Star Destroyer, pushing the Star Destroyer to float in the direction of the planet Onderon, eventually causing the spacecraft to be captured by the planet's gravity, and the inevitable began fell.
The engineering team still inside the Star Destroyer evacuated urgently, but many people were still trapped inside the Star Destroyer, as the short-lived warship crashed into the primitive jungle of the planet Onderon.
Wilhuff Tarkin witnessed this scene expressionlessly, and his heart did not waver at all. He knew that the battle on the planet Onderon had been victorious and successfully completed, and his current work should be put in a longer-term direction.
The Fourth Army of the Republic under his command has experienced the Battle of Semyers and the Battle of Onderon, and has basically lost its strategic offensive capabilities. Even if it has not been lost, his next job will still be Build up your strength and prepare for that day.
As for the battle on the planet Onderon, yes, it was a 'victorious and successful' battle. His liberating the planet Onderon in one day was much exaggerated. Most importantly, he captured Dr. Zhang Jiarui, a senior engineer at Tai Lun Heavy Industry. Now Rosana Heavy Engineering Company, a subsidiary of Kuat Power Shipyard, has sent technical personnel and is ready to contact Zhang Jiarui at any time.
As for the subsequent fierce battle on the Dexon moon, both he and Sheev Palpatine were well prepared, attributing it all to the subsequent outbreak of the separatist rebellion.
In other words, this 'rebellion' was not part of the battle on the planet Onderon, but another security suppression war conducted by Governor Tarkin. The losses were relatively heavy because the separatist ideas on the planet Onderon were deeply rooted and they did not accept the rule of the Galactic Republic, so opposition actions broke out.
There is no doubt that what the planet Onderon will face next is severe sanctions from the Galactic Republic.
This is Wilhuff Tarkin's revenge against Ramses Dundup, the king of the planet Onderon! His idea is simple, since you, Dundup, want to make me uncomfortable within the rules, then I will also be within the rules and kill you!
Anakin Skywalker is also on the bridge at this moment, standing opposite Tarkin.
After experiencing this tragic battle, he finally found that he began to dislike this cruel and decisive governor less. Because during this battle, he understood one thing, that is, the creed of the Jedi Order does not apply everywhere.
At least on this battlefield, the seemingly cruel decisions made by Governor Tarkin were correct.
He would not blame the losses in this battle for being too great, because only after experiencing that hellish battlefield did he know that if a different general had come, the losses might have been even greater.
How much did the Republic suffer in this battle?
Not to mention Tarkin's Will, there are also several Jaeger-class and Cheer-class ships, more than 300 large and small transport ships, and more than 9,000 fighter jets. Army soldiers suffered more than 4.5 million casualties, and most of the remaining soldiers were labeled as no longer fit for battlefield after psychological evaluation.
The Confederation of Independent Systems also suffered heavy losses here. After all, what they lost was a large warship manufacturing base that had been in operation for many years. The Galactic Republic was victorious, but what did they gain? An industrial base that had been completely destroyed, and a planet filled with hatred for them.
What about the planet Onderon? Their cities were destroyed, their people massacred, and after losing the Dexon satellite, they also lost their main source of income. The road ahead was unclear and they could not see the future at all.
In this war, they are the most miserable ones.
Because from beginning to end, they never had the power to choose.
……
Boom~~~~~~! ! ! !
The extremely huge body of the Archon-class Star Destroyer fell from the sky, then plunged straight into the ground, and then erupted with an extremely violent explosion!
The flames of the explosion were clearly visible even dozens of kilometers away.
Judgment stood steadily on a giant tree that was a hundred meters high, without any sway in her body. She just looked at the direction of the explosion, silent.
“The mass transmitter on the Dirksen satellite has not started.” The old figure of King Ramses Dundup appeared in the holographic projection, “So, the person you want to save has not started. Escape there.”
"I know." Judgment said calmly.
"Okay, that's all I have to do. You should leave as soon as possible. The current planet Onderon is no longer valuable to you." King Dundup said coldly.
Judgment looked at the mushroom cloud rising thousands of meters high in the distance, and said: "The Galactic Republic will not let you go."
"So what? Next, This is a struggle for our people on the planet Onderon! It has nothing to do with your separatism. If you still pity those of us who are living in the water, then you'd better leave here as soon as possible and stop interfering in anything on our planet. ." Dundup said.
"..." Judgment turned back to look at Dundup's holographic projection and said, "I will."
She paused again and added: "Stila Guerrera, I will give her some help. This is not help from the separatists, but from me personally."
Dundup did not say anything else. , but hung up the communication.
Judgment also jumped down from the tree, lifted the hood of his cloak to cover his face, and walked in the other direction.
Through the jungle, I only saw a CSS-1 Republic-class shuttle parked in a patch of grass here! Judgment just walked over without any evasion.
I saw all the soldiers of the Republic on the shuttle with their eyes glazed over, as if the pause button had been pressed.
After Judgment got on the shuttle and put on the uniform of a Republic Army medic, these people suddenly woke up and drove the shuttle to join the countless formations of spaceships leaving the planet, leaving the devastated planet. .
