The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1177. The Republic's Counterattack

Qi Jian lowered his head and wrote something in his notebook, then shook his head and said, "Dr. Zhang Jiarui, I'm very glad that you have indeed brought us a brand new idea, so this time you can not be held accountable for your violation. The Thor Mecha plan still needs further consideration, and at this meeting, it will be rejected first. After you have fully figured out your design plan, submit it for deliberation."

After speaking, he stood up again.

Zhang Jiarui sat on the seat with his head down all the time, and when Qi Jian had already walked to the door, he suddenly yelled, "I'll prove it to you!!"

"What did you say?" Qi Jian asked sideways.

"We still have a prototype Thor mecha! I will drive this Thor mech to help the planet Onderon!! Just please get me two J-1 proton cannons through official channels!!" Zhang Jiarui said loudly Roar, "I request to go to the planet Onderon to meet the upcoming attack of the Republic!"

"It seems that you are very clear about the current frontline situation, Dr. Zhang Jiarui." Qi Jian said lightly.

"That's right, the Galactic Republic is launching a counterattack against the middle ring of the galaxy. The Onderon planet is one of our important outlying industrial bases. We can't give up so easily! There, there, I will also have a stage to perform. It proved the tactical and strategic value of Thor's mecha on the battlefield!" Zhang Jiarui said.

"You went to the battlefield in person? You should understand that for an expert in energy, engineering and automation systems like you, the research institute is where you can play a greater role?" Qi Jian asked back.

"But it is also my duty to prove the value of the products I have developed! This trip, I must go!" Zhang Jiarui said.

Qi Jian thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll give you a chance. If you can prove the value of the Thor Mecha, then I will agree to add the Thor Mecha to the Fourth Civilization Army sequence!"

"Just wait and see!" Zhang Jiarui said fiercely.

...

The Galactic Republic is fighting back massively. Their soldiers are attacking in all directions, and the general attacking forces are divided into six groups.

The first route is the southern battlefield, and the ultimate goal is to recover the planets Christofsis and Reynolds.

At the beginning of January 20BBY, ​​the 16th Army of the Republic in this direction had already captured the planet Allanteen VI in the Central Star Region.

Planet Alanten VI is the location of a large shipyard. On the surface, this planet has joined the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, but in fact it has been secretly communicating with the Galactic Republic. On the one hand, they kept raising the price, negotiating terms with Earl Dooku, and flirting with the Republic at the same time.

This time, after the counterattack of the Galactic Republic launched, Planet Alanten VI saw the arrival of the Republic's fleet, did not resist at all, and surrendered without hesitation.

After capturing the important shipbuilding base of Planet Alanten VI, the 16th Army pointed directly at Planet Gamo and Planet Milagro.

The second route is in the direction of the southwest border. The ultimate goal is to regain the planet Eliadu and the planet Sullust, and re-open the connection between a group of neutral planets in this direction, including the planet Utapa, so that they can return Galactic Republic.

According to this plan, the 17th Army of the Republic also launched a counterattack, and the army approached and besieged the planets Kira and Pax.

In the face of the aggressive 17th Army of the Republic, the Fourth Civilization, which was close at hand, did not perform too aggressively, but at the same time it was tit-for-tat, holding on to its own territory, and not allowing the Republic to go beyond the threshold.

In the face of the invasion, the governor of the Fourth Civilization Sasvenna Star Region, the general Ling Liang, made a decisive decision in the face of the invasion, and the Titan battleship Xuanwu immediately dispatched and stationed on the planet Marathal, which is equivalent to blocking the Hydia route leading to the Fourth Civilization Passage of the hinterland.

After the huge figure of the Xuanwu appeared on the planet Marathal, not only the Grans and Dags on the planet were silent and did not dare to have any disobedience to the fourth civilization, but even the 17th Army of the Republic recognized it. Cowardly, after maintaining the siege of Planet Kira and Planet Pax, they did not continue to move forward. Instead, they focused their energy on their rear to clean up the separatist planets in the middle ring area.

And the other direction of this road is led by the 20th Army of the Republic, and the goal is to capture the dawn star.

However, their counterattack was always blocked on the Yago-Dur planet of the Ji Wen people, and they still failed to have more victories.

The third route is in the direction of the east. The goal of this route is to recover the planet Kashyyyk and capture the planet Semirs, one of the important industrial centers of separatism.

The offensive along the way suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Umbala Planet, but the counterattack army with the 4th Army of the Republic as the main force still started from the planet Mingban and captured the planets Atahox and Velasco all the way. Sang star (Rusan) set out.

Fourth Road, Northeast Territory. This is where the main fleet of the Galactic Republic is located. The target is the Laxus sub-planet, the administrative capital of the Federation of Independent Galaxies. In addition, the Felucia planet where the business guild is located, the Murkana planet where the Enterprise Alliance is located, and the Quarren Isolation Alliance are located. All the Dak planets are in this direction, which can be said to be the core direction of separatism.

However, although the Republic's counterattack fleet led by the Republic's 3rd Army along the way was aggressive, it suffered a blow as soon as it attacked.

The famous separatist general Severance Tann organized a small but extremely powerful small fleet after obtaining the second ship of the Conqueror-class battleship, the Destroyer. Except for the Destroyer, this fleet is all powerful battleships such as Behemoth-class battlecruisers and Shenyi-class destroyers.

Severance-Tann commanded this fleet to sneak around in this area, attacking the Republic's logistics and some planets with weak defenses, making it impossible for the Republic's powerful main fleet to be used.

Fifth Road, North Territory. In this direction, the Front Army of the Northern Frontier Campaign of the Republic is the core, and the 9th Army and the 10th Army are the main forces to attack the separatist forces in the northern border.

Yan Yanlan said that the progress in this direction is the smoothest, because there is not too much resistance here. But because the 9th and 10th armies were also affected by the ravages of the geth in the north, their progress was actually not fast.

The last sixth road is the Northwest Territory. With the 7th and 8th armies of the Republic as the main force, the ultimate goal is to capture the planets of Megito and Mulinster, destroy the separatist forces of the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group, and eliminate the threat of geth.

Of course, this road is a joke no matter in terms of military strength or strength. The 8th Army and the 7th Army are already very good at being able to protect themselves now, and it is almost impossible to fight back.
