2301. Official declaration of war
After Kruja-Vanderlon issued a statement against Rendili Interstellar Power Company, almost everyone in the entire galaxy immediately understood that the Galactic Empire planned to take what happened to the Trade Federation , it’s happening again with Lundilli Interstellar Dynamics!
However, the biggest difference between Rendili Star Power Company and the Trade Federation is that they are now part of the Principality of Dawn!
This action by the Galactic Empire is equivalent to putting its hand directly into the pocket of the Principality of Dawn. This is absolutely intolerable!
However, in fact, in terms of legal principles, the behavior of the Galactic Empire is completely defensible. Because first of all, the Principality of Dawn is now officially subordinate to the Galactic Empire, so Rendili Interstellar Power Company is naturally considered an enterprise within the Galactic Empire. On the other hand, although Lundili Interstellar Power Company belongs to the Principality of Dawn, it is not a state-owned enterprise of the Principality of Dawn.
Yes, although Adele Ulan, the top director of Lundili Interstellar Power Company, is the wife of Dawn Grand Duke Tang Xiao, the Dawn Principality does not directly hold shares of Lundili Interstellar Power Company.
So, although everyone knows that the Galactic Empire's claim to Rendili Interstellar Power Company is just a cover, and everyone also knows that this is just an excuse for the Galactic Empire to declare war on the Principality of Dawn. But in a legal sense, this claim is really tenable!
Kruer-Vanderon issued an ultimatum to Rendili Star Power Corporation, requiring the company to open all borders within 24 standard hours, release all investigation team personnel, and the planetary defense fleet to lay down its weapons and accept the Galactic Empire's Reorganize.
Faced with such a rude request, Rendili Interstellar Power Company seemed very calm. The company spokesman said very calmly that there were no fences installed in the Rendili system, and the Empire was welcome to come at any time if it wanted to. The members of the investigation team have now been sent to the unknown star field for mining. If the empire really misses them, they can join their team. Finally, the planetary defense fleet is here, please ask the imperial military to send someone to receive it as soon as possible.
Such slobbery words naturally have no meaning.
But the real big news is yet to come!
At 14:00 on August 5, Daphne Clement, the current Prime Minister of the Principality of Dawn, held a press conference to publicly address the Galactic Empire.
The Principality of Dawn claimed that the Galactic Empire’s previous war against the Trade Federation was a complete act of plunder, a despicable and despicable act that even interstellar pirates were ashamed of. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire shamelessly robbed and plundered the Trade Federation. Not only the Trade Federation, but also the properties of the inner circle nobles stored in the wealth world were embezzled by Palpatine.
Now, the Galactic Empire is preparing to use the same method to rob Rendili Interstellar Power Company. Regarding such behavior, the Principality of Dawn feels ashamed of the Galactic Empire and believes that such a sovereign state has neither the ability nor the morals, let alone He has no bottom line and is completely unable to fulfill his responsibilities as the ruler of the galaxy.
For the Everbright people of the galaxy, the Galactic Empire has been reduced to bandits and criminals, even worse than the pirates of the Trandoshans.
The Principality of Dawn calls on the Galactic Empire to return to its lost ways as soon as possible, return all the wealth plundered from the Trade Alliance and the Wealth World, disband the redundant fleet, use citizens' taxes correctly on infrastructure construction and economic development, and become an ideal regime that benefits the people. If Palpatine can learn from his mistakes and change his past, the Dawn Principality is still willing to recognize the status of the Galactic Empire as the suzerain.
Finally, regarding the Galactic Empire’s plundering of Lundili Star Power Company, the Principality of Dawn is willing to stand on the side of justice and justice and say no to all illegal plunder. And is willing to help all those whose freedom and property have been violated and to fight against the invasion of bandits.
This tit-for-tat statement was quickly submitted to the Galactic Empire in the form of a formal diplomatic note. And this speech also officially clarified his attitude.
Planet Rendili is here! If you dare to come, then fight!
……At 23:00 on the evening of August 5th.
The Galactic Empire issued a formal announcement - Lundili Interstellar Power Company refused to accept the ultimatum. From now on, the Galactic Empire will use all means to protect its own interests and ensure the return of lost assets. Anyone who blocks the legitimate demands of the Galactic Empire will be regarded as an enemy by the Galactic Empire and will be attacked mercilessly!
At 2:40 a.m. on August 6, the Principality of Dawn officially declared war on the Galactic Empire!
At 2:50, the Galactic Empire declared war on the Principality of Dawn!
At 3:30, the Principality of Dawn established the First Task Force with the Eriadu planet garrison as the core, and the Ankeron-class Titan battleship Xuanwu served as the flagship and sailed away from the Eriadu planet spaceport. , jumping into hyperspace and losing track.
At 3:35, the Principality of Dawn established the second task force with the Yago-Dur planet garrison as the core, and the Ankeron-class Titan battleship Yuanzhu served as the flagship. It sailed away from the Yago-Dur planet spaceport and entered the super Space jump, lost track.
At 5:30, a fast fleet of the Principality of Dawn set off from the planet Christophsis, attacked the garrison on the planet Radnor, and sank an Aquitens-class light cruiser. , four frigates.
Since then, the war known as the ‘Galaxy’s Second Civil War’ has officially begun!
……
At 7:09 a.m. on August 6, Rendili Planet Command Center.
"General! The astronomical observatory sent an emergency communication. According to the astronomical observation system, an abnormal gravitational source was found in the orbit of planet No. 5 in the Rendili system!" the messenger said loudly.
Pop! ! Admiral Trench banged the pointer in his hand heavily. He pointed in this direction and yelled: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, particle light spear, aim immediately, countdown to 60 seconds, two volleys! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
< br>In the outer space of Rendili planet, 20 disaster-class battlecruisers were lined up. The particle light spears were already in a charging state. After receiving the order, they immediately began to turn and aim.
【Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... launch! ! 】The captains of each battleship gave an order, and the particle light spears were launched instantly!
20 extremely bright beams of light instantly pierced the dark universe! Then charge up and shoot again! Recharge and shoot again!
After three volleys, 60 bright rays of light gradually dissipated, leaving only a spiral red light that continued to dim at its original trajectory.
As time passed, the hyperspace detectors deployed on the periphery continued to transmit real-time images of the orbit of Planet 5.
About ten minutes later, the bright beam of the particle spear came to the empty space and flashed past.
And at the moment when the particle light spear passed by, something seemed to be disturbed by the huge energy focus! The space became distorted, and then one battleship after another appeared out of thin air! ! (End of this chapter)
