1511. Kira Raid Battle (Part 2)
Bang! ! A thick stack of information was thrown in front of the head of the Intelligence Department, Ai Lan. A PAD terminal placed on top of the information fell directly to the ground. The holographic projection was knocked open when it fell, projecting a Large pieces of debris and wreckage.
Admiral Kourney of the 17th Army of the Galactic Republic was livid, looking at the middle-aged woman in her 40s in front of him, his tone contained endless anger, "This afternoon at the latest! I want to know What happened to my fleet! !”
Alan, the head of the intelligence department, stood up quickly and said: “Our investigators have followed the salvage team to the battlefield, and we will analyze every detail carefully. It’s just that the scene was really messy, and it would take at least 5 days to sort out the wreckage.”
"Five days?! Do you know that the Separatist Titan battleships are in the Ennaco system and are eyeing the planet Naboo? Do you know that the Separatist guerrilla fleet destroyed our interceptor fleet and also destroyed one of our ships? Medical outpost?" Kourni shouted in anger.
"Yes...yes..." Faced with the admiral's anger, Ailan did not dare to speak out.
"Listen! I only give you one day! Find out the reason for the failure of our fleet!!" Kourney shouted, "Remember, if we can't investigate this In this battle, we can't even stop the separatist guerrilla fleet! But you have to know that we are the 17th Army! In order to fight against that shit Titan battleship, our fleet can even defeat the Republic! Ranked in the top five! But now even a guerrilla fleet can shit on our face!"
"Yes...I will do it immediately.
On the outskirts of the planet Kira, almost all the garrison fleets entered combat mode. They patrolled around the planet and even expanded the patrol scope to the entire galaxy!
Thousands of engineering ships are dealing with the debris flying around. These are the debris of the destroyed space port. These debris are flying everywhere due to the aftermath of the explosion, causing secondary damage to the surrounding warships and facilities. .
Who would have thought that the Galactic Republic had assembled a large number of troops on the planet Kira, only to be easily overwhelmed by more than a dozen Separatist warships and even have a spaceport destroyed? Not to mention, none of the fleet sent out to intercept actually came back, and was completely wiped out by the opponent's small guerrilla fleet?
Such shame is simply unacceptable! Lynch Hauser, the governor of the 17th Army, has now rushed to Coruscant to explain to Chancellor Palpatine face to face.
At this moment, on the planet Kira, in an interrogation room exclusive to the Intelligence Department, more than 100 soldiers are being held separately, and intelligence personnel are questioning them repeatedly, trying to restore the entire combat process.
You know, the Republic warships sent out to intercept the guerrilla fleet included a total of 5 Knight-class ships and 20 Jaeger-class ships, and they also carried 4,000 fighter jets! When tens of thousands of naval troops go out, less than 2,000 people come back? ! It’s incredible!
Especially since there are 5 Knight-class ships in this fleet! You must know that the entire 17th Army is only equipped with 10 of this new type of warship. Therefore, this fiasco has also attracted great attention from the people at Quarter Power Shipyard. Chief Engineer Lila Blissex personally presided over the investigation and has sent an engineering investigation team to come, also hoping to find The reason why the knight class was destroyed so easily.
For Kuat Power Shipyard, this is also a matter that can even be said to be a matter of life and death!
Because once the investigation results show that there is a problem with the performance of the Knight-class Star Destroyer, then the Galactic Republic, which has spent a lot of money on the order of the Knight-class Star Destroyer, will undoubtedly make Quat Power Shipyard I couldn’t eat and walked around.
Before the investigation team left, Lila Blissex even gave the team leader a crystal card, which contained a huge sum of 50 million credit points. She was already prepared for the worst. If it really was a knight-level performance problem, she would have to wipe it out even if she was trying to hide it.
To put it bluntly, these 50 million credits are used for bribes.
In other words, daring to make such small moves is actually the reason why Lila Blissex has always had a smooth career. She is a woman who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
As the interrogation progressed, many details on the battlefield began to be restored.
"...After the fighter formation approaches the opponent, the engine output is greatly reduced? Are you sure? What is the range? Does it affect the weapon power? Is there a duration? Is there any abnormality in the fighter equipment?"
"I need you to confirm again! Was it that small black spacecraft that destroyed the Knight-class Star Destroyer you were on?"
"No response? Why no response? According to Republic Navy operations Regulations, the anti-stealth radar should be turned on during combat! Why didn’t you discover the opponent’s hidden stealth spacecraft until the end?”
"How many stealth ships are there? Are they 5 or 10? Don't give me any signal confusion! The Knight-class Star Destroyer is equipped with the most advanced detection radar!"
"When you are approaching , since when were you hit by the opponent's particle light spear? What kind of evasion plan did you adopt? "
"...Is it confirmed that it is a Hell Angel class? What’s so unique about the colorful lasers?”
A large amount of information began to be compiled, and the Republic intelligence personnel began to draw a preliminary conclusion-after the battle began, because the two sides were 4 light away time, so the Republic interception fleet immediately began to maintain an evasive attitude and moved forward at full speed. At the same time, in order to hit enemy warships faster, the Republic's interception fleet took off a group of fighter jets.
During this process, the separatist guerrilla fleet never moved, and the long-range particle lance bombardment only lasted less than 20 minutes. It was found that the shooting was not effective against moving targets and the shooting was stopped. The Intelligence Department judged that the separatist fleet should have deployed some traps in place, so they stayed put.
Unfortunately, the Republic fleet commander interpreted this move of the Separatist fleet as fear. He believed that the Separatist warships were afraid of close combat with the Republic warships, so they kept as far away as possible.
After that, the fighter group contacted the enemy fleet, but encountered deceleration at a distance of 0.5 light minutes from the enemy fleet, and was then shot down in large numbers by Hell's Angels.
Next, the Republic fleet continued to approach, and both sides continued to fire and bombard. However, in terms of long-range bombardment, they were no match for the particle light spear, and the Republic fleet suffered continuous losses.
After the two sides entered a close battle, some small black spaceships suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and then five Knight-class Star Destroyers in the Republic fleet were destroyed in less than 20 minutes!
The remaining Jaeger-class battlecruisers were extremely aggressive during the artillery battle, and were quickly defeated by the attacks of the Hell's Angels and Catastrophes! In the end, 5 Jaeger-class battlecruisers tried to escape, but 4 of them were destroyed by particle lances. The other took the risk to start a hyperspace jump, and was torn into pieces by the stellar mass projection in the hyperspace at the moment of the jump. The fragments are now integrated into the central star of the Parkes Galaxy.
During the entire battle, only two Hells Angel-class battlecruisers and one Catastrophe-class battlecruiser of the Separatist guerrilla fleet were destroyed, while the Republic fleet was completely annihilated.
At the same time, the salvage and analysis of the wreckage at the battle site is also underway. The wreckage of dozens of warships and thousands of fighter jets formed a large debris belt. The twisted corpses and broken hulls inside were shocking to see. When the Separatist fleet evacuated, it completely blew up the wreckage of the warships that could not be taken away. After the Republic's salvage force spent a lot of time salvaging the wreckage of the Separatist warships, they found that there were not many valuable things at all.
So they can only focus their salvage on the wreckage of the Republic's own battleships, especially the wreckage of the five Knight-class Star Destroyers.
In the end, those professional teams found a lot of useful information.
"It's a torpedo!" Intelligence Minister Alan took the analysis report and handed it to Admiral Kourney and said firmly.
"You mean, it was torpedoes that destroyed those Knight-class Star Destroyers?" Kourney asked with a frown.
Alan nodded and said: "It's a torpedo. But it's not a proton torpedo, but a brand new torpedo. This torpedo is very powerful, based on our distribution of the wreckage and escape velocity. According to analysis, the torpedo explosion that destroyed the Knight-class Star Destroyer was so powerful that it could even blow an asteroid in half! The small black warships in the report should be the carriers of this super torpedo."
< br>"A torpedo boat? But how can such a small spacecraft fly near the Knight-class Star Destroyer with a strict air defense network?" Kourney is also an old-school general, and he immediately grasped the key.
"Yes, launched at close range." Aylan nodded, "This is the only way this torpedo can hit our warships. We don't know exactly how this small warship can fly so close - According to the memories of the survivors, they had been fighting the separatist warships for a period of time before they discovered that these spacecraft suddenly appeared.”
"So the key points we need to investigate are four points. First: What is the combat capability of the Hell's Angels? What is the role of the colorful lasers? Second: How did those small spacecraft get close to our spacecraft. Third: What is the principle of a torpedo that can directly destroy a Knight-class Star Destroyer? Finally: What is the thing that can slow down our fighter?" Kourney said.
"The opponent's small spacecraft should have been shot down." Alan said, "One of the survivors said that he heard the communication team saying that the Tok'ra Star Destroyer shot down one, but the To'k'ra The damage to the Star Destroyer was too complete. We are still trying to extract the information in the battleship database, but the situation is not optimistic. The on-site salvage team has also begun to search for the wreckage of the downed black spacecraft. "
Library. Erni took a deep breath and lay down on the sofa. He lit a low-strength spice for himself. In this rotten situation, only the stimulation of the spice could clear his mind.
After a long time, he asked again: "Assess, if the separatist Titan battleship Xuanwu leads the fleet to attack the planet Naboo, consider the disaster-class battlecruiser and Hell's Angel-class battlecruiser. , and with the small black spaceship and the super torpedo, what is the winning rate of our main fleet relying on the planet Naboo?"
Alan shook his head and said: "There are too many variables, it is difficult to determine. But one thing we can understand is that the particle light spear equipped on the disaster-class battlecruiser can launch attacks at ultra-long distances. Although it is not a big threat to the battleship, it is a devastating blow to fixed targets such as spaceports. , and if the opponent’s target is the planet itself..."
Kourney's face changed slightly and he said: "That means we can't rely on the planet's own defense system to defend, but can only take the initiative? Do you know if we take the initiative to launch an attack on the separatist fleet supported by the Xuanwu? What does it mean? "
"Even if we can win, our 17th Army will have very few main fleets left," Ailan said.
Admiral Kourney directly threw aside the PAD terminal in his hand and said: "Ask for help. Send the investigation results to Governor Lynch-Hauser, and then tell him that with the new type of separatism With the appearance of battleships, our current strength is no longer able to stop the actions of the Separatist fleet."
Alan looked embarrassed, "With all due respect, General, according to some of our recent intelligence on Coruscant, Bell. - Organa and a group of other congressmen are impeaching Speaker Palpatine. To send out a message asking for help at this time would be like adding insult to injury..."
"Hmph!" Kourney snorted, "Launch 66 He was the one who ordered the Jedi to be hunted down, so he would have to bear the consequences now! If the Jedi Master were here, we wouldn't be so passive in this battle! Also, aren't the people from the Quat Power Dockyard here to scare them? , told their investigation team that their Knight-class Star Destroyers were all destroyed in less than 20 minutes, and we have reason to believe that there are huge flaws in the performance of the battleships."
"Is it okay to threaten them like this?" Ailan was stunned.
"If you don't scare them, how can they obediently take out the benefits?" Kourney said coldly, "After encountering such a big failure, don't I need to take care of it and make the big problem smaller? ? Shouldn’t I be compensated for some mental losses?”
Alan immediately showed an understanding expression, “Okay, general, I’ll go find Kuate’s investigation team immediately.”
“ Don't forget to ask their Kuat people to go to Coruscant and help us implement the reinforcements! Only in this way will we cooperate with them and settle the matter of the Knight-class Star Destroyer. "Kurney waved his hand.
“Okay.”
...
At the same time, the capital of the planet Eriadu, Erixiang City, is the governor's palace and command center of the Sethwenna sector of the fourth civilization.
Ling Liang, the Army General of the Fourth Civilization and the Governor of the Seswenna Sector, was also checking the combat documents of this battle. However, even if he won a complete victory in the battle, Ling Liang’s sword eyebrows still remained. Lock tight.
"Of the 12 purification-class stealth special service ships, only 5 came back?" Ling Liang looked at the Salarian engineer standing aside, "Do you know how much these 12 purification-class ships cost? If it had always been With this battle loss ratio, it is impossible for us to win this war. Even if you are small, it is difficult for you to get a purification-level order.” !
