Chapter 1721. The end of the Galactic Republic (2)
1721. The end of the Galactic Republic (2)
So after these two unprecedented defeats, the accumulated conflicts within the Galactic Republic began to subside. Keep popping up.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the extremely bad impact on public opinion caused by the failure of the battle!
The failure of the Yago-Dur system battle was not bad. Most of the Galactic Republic naval officers and soldiers who returned after the defeat remained silent in accordance with the confidentiality regulations. And even if there are some rumors, most people actually believe that this failure in the Yago-Dur system was more due to astronomical phenomena.
After all, they encountered a rare star change in decades, which caused the planet to also change its orbit violently.
In fact, the official media of the Galactic Republic also promoted it this way. Anyway, the failure of the Yago-Dur system has nothing to do with our great Galactic Republic Navy. It is all because the Trisolaran galaxy is too weird, and it is also because the Separatists are too cunning.
Such remarks are as stupid and funny as saying that the Seven Flooded Army has nothing to do with Guan Yu and it is all the fault of the flood.
It’s the same sentence from the same book - a general who does not understand astronomy, does not know the geographical advantages, does not know the strange doors, does not know Yin and Yang, does not understand the formation map, and does not understand the military strength, is mediocre.
But the Galactic Republic no longer cares about so much. Now the senior officials and nobles of the Republic have only one thing on their minds, and that is how to get over this fiasco smoothly. .
So all the media in the Galactic Republic were mobilized to arrange various interviews, records, and analyses. To put it simply, this battle was just one step away from completely defeating the Principality of Dawn. Moreover, under the command of Admiral Gideon Tarkin, the Republic fleet was overwhelming and beat the Separatists to tears. Calling mother...
Not only that, because the fleet was annihilated, Tang Xiao, one of the leaders of the separatism, even cried and begged for mercy. As a result, the stars in the Yago-Dur system derailed... …
Then the cunning Tang Xiao immediately turned his back and used his evil power to command the fleet to launch a desperate counterattack. As a result, the heroic Galactic Republic Navy worked hard to resist the enemy. Unexpectedly, the stars changed their orbits and the planets flew around. The Republic's fleet happened to be brushed by the flying planet, causing the formation to be messed up and the shield to be lost.
And these media continue to exaggerate how big such a galaxy is, and how small a planet is... Even if the planet Yago-Dur is running around, it will hit the Republic fleet. The probability is only one in a billion.
These are typical Spring and Autumn writing techniques. Although the planetary system is very large, the planets in it are certainly very small, and this is correct. But one issue was intentionally or unintentionally ignored - that is, the Republic fleet was originally heading towards the Yago-Dur system, and it must have been deployed near the planet. If the planet suddenly changed its orbit, who would it hit if it didn't hit you?
But these are not important. In short, the separatism was severely beaten before the planet changed its orbit, and the chance of this orbit change was so accidental.
In the end, the Republic Navy even prepared to hold a medal ceremony!
Because of the constant exaggeration, fleet commander Admiral Gideon Tarkin and 20th Army Governor Octavian Grant have been promoted as war heroes!
As a result, this ridiculous awarding ceremony actually took place!
It’s just that Admiral Gideon Tarkin simply didn’t come, and Octavian Grant also said that he would stick to his post and not come. It is even more impossible for the Speaker of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine, to participate in this clown-like event...
As a result, at the medal ceremony, a few naval officers who had escaped from the front line of Yago-Dur and returned disgraced were temporarily found to come on stage and hang up the medals.
As the saying goes, when a country is about to perish, there must be a monster, and sometimes this monster does not necessarily have to be a monster...
But after so much trouble, if Yago-Dur If there is one reason to justify the galaxy's fiasco, then the Model Sector Raid War was a complete disaster!
No matter from which perspective, it is a disaster!
Because of this extremely miserable failure, it was impossible to hide it from everyone’s eyes almost from the beginning!
As a company, Quat Power Shipyard naturally does not have as strict a system as the Galactic Republic's military, so it was impossible for them to hide the secret of this defeat from the beginning.
Although none of the 324 battleships sent to the front line of the Model sector came back, it does not mean that no one from the Model sector returned.
After all, in the previous battles, the staff on the transport ships who came back to deliver supplies, and some wounded soldiers who were sent to the rear when the traffic was still smooth... These people are naturally concerned about the situation on the front line. Know everything.
So the news about the front line of the Model Sector spread like wildfire, and began to spread at an extremely fast speed.
What's even more terrible is that in order to build the huge military base in the Dawn Galaxy, Kuat Power Shipyard not only used an extremely large amount of funds and materials, but also used a huge amount of manpower.
The number of workers involved in the construction of the Dawn Galaxy has reached millions, and the families of these workers have also been taken to the Dawn Galaxy. In this way, the number of people involved in the construction will be close to tens of millions!
At the beginning, Kuat Power Shipyard still had strong control capabilities, so the Dawn Galaxy was still kept secret at that time.
But later, as the frontline continued to fail, people in the Dawn Galaxy surged, and everyone was in danger, so more and more people wanted to plan a way out. As a result, a hole gradually opened up, and this hole got bigger and bigger. In the end, a lot of news from the Dawn Galaxy was actually leaked to the outside!
The reason why Nova and the others were able to contact the dark broker at that time was actually at this stage, and then they could take advantage of it.
And at that time, the two top leaders of the Quat Power Shipyard responsible for this battle - Onana Quat and Lila Blissex, had begun constant internal fighting. His mind was not on the battlefield at all. In other words, in their opinion, it doesn't matter what happens in the Model Sector. What really matters is the super giant Quat Power Dockyard!
So they thought that since the battle has started anyway, let's just leak the secrets. Everyone knows that we are going to attack the Model Sector. And if we want to solve the problem of leaks, we must strengthen management, and strengthening management may cause those staff who are already under great pressure to collapse faster...
So they chose to ignore it.
It would be nice if the battle was won, but what they were waiting for was the news that the expeditionary force suffered a disastrous defeat and the entire fleet was annihilated!
Then the news spread throughout the galaxy in less than three days... Now everyone knows that the Galactic Republic's expedition raided the Model sector, and the result was a loss of troops, and not a single one of the more than 300 capital ships came back... …That’s right! Those rumors were so accurate that even the losses were clearly known!
Now that things have happened, it is no longer possible to hide it. Therefore, in desperation, the Galactic Republic chose the method that could protect themselves to the greatest extent - passing the blame!
But blame-shifting is also an art.
First of all, you can't throw the pot around. If it falls on someone you can't afford to offend, you won't know who will take the blame!
So the next wave of operations of the Galactic Republic can be called 666...
The first big pot to bear the brunt is Laszlo Dorit, the frontline deputy commander of the fleet!
That's right! It's the adjutant, Laszlo Dolit... not even the fucking Commander-in-Chief Casio Tagg!
As for why? Just ask the powerful and powerful Tagg family why Casio Tagg is not the first to make the decision.
The reason is naturally high-sounding - Laszlo Dolit is a veteran who participated in the Stark Hyperspace War, and was also recruited to make up for Casio Tagg's lack of combat experience.
Then analysts and military strategists began to find reasons. As a rare top student in the military academy, Casio Tagg naturally had very solid theoretical knowledge. However, after graduation, he mainly engaged in exterminating pirates. , still not very skilled in large-scale fleet operations.
So during combat, Laszlo Dolit’s opinion is very important.
And our poor little Casio, because he respected his elders and fully considered the opinions and suggestions of the veteran Laszlo Dorit, made an immature mistake. Ultimately leading to the failure of frontline operations.
Forgetting the defeat in the frontline battle, Casio Tag realized that something was wrong and naturally wanted to reverse the defeat and maintain the tradition and glory of the Republic Navy, so he chose to raid the Dawn Planet!
Let’s not forget that the Republic Navy, which has been at peace for more than a thousand years, has just dismantled all weapons with a caliber larger than 10 mm. It still has traditional problems. The raid on the Dawn Planet alone would seem to a normal person to be an extremely reckless and irresponsible choice, but it was actually promoted by the Republic as maintaining the tradition and glory of the navy? !
Then faced with Casio Tagg’s heroic and glorious move, Laszlo Dolit actually gave up! Not only that, he also relied on his old age and forcibly left more than half of the fleet behind, leaving only Casio Tagg to lead a small half of the fleet to raid the Dawn Planet!
To be honest, if Laszlo Dolit knew better, he would have seen how hard he had led a team of old, weak and sick warships to defend the rear for Cassio Tagg and suppress the separation on Annaji's planet. The behavior of the communist fleet has been distorted in such a way that even a titanium alloy coffin board may not be able to hold it down!
Then, Casio-Tague bravely led his fleet to launch a desperate raid against the separatist leader Tang Xiao, beating Tang Xiao until he cried and begged for mercy...
As a result, due to insufficient troops, Casio-Tague Ge's fleet finally reached its end, even at the end he was still shouting: Give me another battleship, and I can penetrate the armor of Tang Xiao's ship! The sky and the earth...
I seem to have seen this statement somewhere?
Didn’t the separatist leader Tang Xiao cry and beg for mercy once during the battle on the planet Yago-Dur?
In any case, this is not important. Anyway, the biggest culprit, Laszlo Dorit, is not running away!
And the second person most responsible, well, is still not Casio Tagg. It was the late leader of the former Quat Power Shipyard, Quat of Quat—Onana-Quat!
Yes, deceased.
Three days after Onana-Quat was abandoned in her own temporary residence, Little Kuat has regained control of the situation within the Kuat Power Shipyard and became the new Kuat of Kuat. Send someone to prepare to pick up your aunt. As a result, the people he sent found that Onana Quart had hanged herself alone in the dark mansion.
Onana Quart is a bit stupid, but she is not really without IQ. Of course she understands that she is at the end of her rope, and all the blame will be piled on her head, and she will also lose it. everything.
In addition, she was betrayed by her once 'loyal' attendant, who left her alone in the mansion to starve, and turned off all the lights, leaving her alone to tremble in the darkness...< br>
In this way, it is not surprising that Onana Quart, who was already on the verge of mental breakdown, chose to commit suicide.
A dead person, a person who has lost power, will undoubtedly become the person who takes the blame.
Onana Kuat bribed a large number of officials and even some people from the military for her own benefit, insisting on participating in this combat operation.
And she also asked Quarter Power Dockyard to write a blank check, claiming that all battleships would be borne by Quarter Power Dockyard. However, in fact, her promise was not fulfilled at all. All battleships are still provided by the Galactic Republic Navy...
Well, quietly, the Republic Navy has wiped out a large deficit. Of course, all of this was a transaction between the new Kuat of Kuat, Little Kuat, and Dunn Wessex. The Kuat Power Shipyard itself covered its nose and acknowledged the money, and pretended it had never happened. However, all expenses for the campaign were funded by the Republic Navy.
So with Onana Quart's behind-the-scenes intervention, this wrong expedition began. As a result, Casio Tag was tricked by this old witch and became the first victim in this corrupt battle.
The treatment of Onana Quart is naturally to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. All those who were bribed by her, manipulated by her, and facilitated this expedition were all arrested and tried!
Of course, Onana-Quat's people are all dead, and who she bribed and manipulated is naturally decided by the Republic's military.
To put it bluntly, this is a purge with the purpose of eliminating dissidents!
During this cleaning, pots No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 were naturally thrown out...
Then when the pot was counted to double digits, it was the turn of the expedition fleet commander Cassio Tagg.
Young man, you are still too young. Although he was extremely smart and capable, and once defeated the separatist leader Tang Xiao, he was still immature after all. He was led by several veteran criminals and made mistakes that young people would make.
So Casio Tagg’s poor performance in this battle will naturally be criticized, but he still made an indispensable contribution to reaching the door of Dawn Planet. Let’s posthumously make him a general...
