2300. The situation changes suddenly
11BBY, August 4, 19:00 in the evening, the Supreme Operations Command of Dawn Planet.
"Urgent call from Planet Rendili!" An officer quickly ran to the deputy chief of staff and handed him a document.
The deputy chief of staff briefly looked at the miniature holographic projection, his expression changed, and he immediately turned and walked into the office of Chief of General Staff Qi Jian, "General Staff, there is an urgent call from Planet Lundili!"
After Qi Jian read the document, he immediately pressed the button to hold a military meeting remotely. Holographic projections of senior military generals from various fields appeared in front of the desk.
"Admiral Trench is in charge of the defense forces on Rendili planet. The Galactic Empire may not have launched an attack through the hyperspace channel!" Qi Jian said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
"Not through the hyperspace channel? What method is that? Using a sublight engine?" Karls-Wharton frowned.
"It is also possible that they first used hyperspace navigation to sail to the vicinity of the Rendili system, and then used sublight engines to sail." Defense Minister Cheng Shitao said, "This is not right, as long as they use hyperspace navigation, Then it will definitely be detected by the hyperspace outpost."
"Warp speed navigation is the only possibility," Ling Liang insisted, "The Galaxy Empire has been fighting against the Geth for so many years, and some raids have been carried out from behind the Empire. It is not surprising that some pieces of warp navigation technology were found on the Geth warship. In addition, it is not difficult to develop warp speed navigation with the current technological reserves of the Galactic Empire."
"Geth. They have restrained a quarter of the imperial fleet for us, but the empire is also learning from the Geth at the same time..." Qi Jian frowned.
"Then the question now is, how to detect the specific location of the Galactic Empire fleet? Is there any way to counter it?" Ling Liang asked rhetorically.
Cheng Shitao shook his head and replied: "Warp speed navigation cannot be effectively detected."
"Then the question now becomes, is the Galactic Empire really using warp speed? "Speed sail to attack the planet Rendili? Couldn't it be the planet Eriadu?" Qi Jian said.
“This can only be speculated.” Ling Liang said: “We can only assume that the Galactic Empire has not mastered higher-level warp engine technology, and at the same time, they cannot modify more warships in a short period of time. . Therefore, if the Empire wants to attack the planets Eriadu and Yago-Dur, they will definitely gather through the hyperspace channel first, so that they may be discovered by us. Therefore, it is the best and most covert method. , or only the planet Rendili."
"In the end, we still only have speculation, without any definite information." Qi Jian sighed, "How about taking the initiative to attack?"
< br>
"A proactive attack would be detrimental to us in terms of public opinion. I suggest waiting until the main fleet of the Galactic Empire appears before reacting," Helmut Zemo said.
Ling Liang also nodded in agreement, "I also think we should continue to wait. If we launch an attack now according to the No. 0 battle plan and run into it when the movement of the empire's main fleet is unknown, it will be a war. Disaster."
Qi Jian nodded, "Indeed, before we open up the situation, our attack direction is still only in the two directions of the planet Eriadu and Yago-Dur. The probability of the empire’s main fleet is very high, so it’s decided. Admiral Trench must hold the position firmly and make no mistakes!”…
11BBY, August 4th. At 22:00 in the evening, Rendili Planet Command Center.
"Planet Dawn, decided, stand still...tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Admiral Trench stroked the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "They believe that it is possible for the Galactic Empire to use curvature... navigation technology. tsk tsk tsk..." Tsk tsk...immediately imitate the empire's possible strategy. tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
"Roger!" The tactical robot on the side nodded, and its electronic eyes immediately began to flash rapidly. After a moment, it used a straight and rigid electronic Yin said: "After 5,700 combat simulations, the imperial fleet has a 79% chance of bypassing the outer defense line and directly attacking the planet's orbital defenses."
Lieutenant General Malcolm Granger, standing aside, nodded and said : "I also feel the same way. I recommend immediately recalling all the Vulture robot fighters patrolling outside. If the Galactic Empire uses warp navigation technology to make a direct raid, our perimeter defenses will be ineffective."
From "Command and Conquer: Air Force General Malcolm Granger in "General" is very good at commanding fighter formations. In this battle on the planet Rendili, he served as Admiral Trench's adjutant.
However, Admiral Trench gently tapped the holographic star map with his pointer and said slowly: "No, it has no effect. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... To bring the robot fighter back, you need at least... one Moon. Tsk tsk tsk tsk...no need.”
He thought for a while and ordered: "Let all the vulture robots and fighter planes... go to the nearest planet base respectively. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Those who harass the imperial fleet, logistics transportation."
Malcolm Grant Jay nodded in agreement, "This is a good idea, I will arrange it immediately."
The 150,000 vulture robot fighters patrolling the Rendili Galaxy were basically recovered from various places. Including those stocks that had not been fully used after the collapse of the Confederation of Independent Systems, most of them were later taken over by the Principality of Dawn.
Like the B-1 combat robot, the Vulture robot fighter is also a cheap and high-quality automated combat weapon. However, in this era, this kind of robot fighter has completely lagged behind the V-wing Alpha-Holy Light fighter and TIE/LN light fighter currently in service in the Galactic Empire.
In face-to-face air battles, the Vulture robot fighter jets that could once compete with the V-19 Torrent fighter jets and Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets were now only slaughtered. That's why it was accepted by the defense forces on the planet Rendili and carried out patrol missions with its huge numbers.
As mentioned before, there are a total of 9 planets in the Rendili galaxy, and the Rendili planet is the third. Planetary bases are set up on the six outer planets. Although the scale is basically not very large, gathering this huge number of vulture robot fighters can still threaten the logistics and transportation of the imperial fleet.
......
While Admiral Trench began to carefully adjust his defense deployment, the Galactic Empire finally showed its fangs!
At 10:20 a.m. on August 5, the Galactic Empire’s diplomatic spokesperson Kruja Van Delon held a press conference and publicly declared that Lundili Interstellar Power Company had a large number of corruption problems and had embezzled huge amounts of money. Galactic Republic assets!
As the successor of the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire has the responsibility to recover these lost assets and will impose the harshest sanctions on the evil Rendili Star Power Company! (End of chapter)
