The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1285. The Battle of Rendili (11)

On the ground of the planet Rendili, the coup initiated by the Ulan family is still going on.

However, with the rise of the planetary shield, the temporary military government established by the Ulan family finally gradually controlled the situation. Those cities and forces that are still loyal to the Galactic Republic, after seeing the planetary shield, also understand that it is impossible for them to receive any support from the Galactic Republic, so many people who were not determined to resist chose to give up.

But there are still many people who are still stubbornly resisting, and the temporary army composed of police established by the Rendili military government can't be expected to have any combat effectiveness. Except for the battle at the planetary shield control center, which soon became clear because the Jedi Knights and Darth Malthael had intervened successively, many other battlefields were still in a state of mutual pecking.

What kind of chickens peck each other?

The most intuitive manifestation is that the personnel participating in the war on both sides cannot even guarantee a blaster rifle! Most of the time they were fighting each other with blaster pistols.

In the Milky Way, especially the important planets in the inner circle like Lundili, demilitarization has been particularly evident after Ruusan's reforms. They have no regular army at all, only security forces, and the security forces are basically equipped with stun guns and blaster pistols.

Even the Planetary Defense Fleet had only a few capital ships for a long time before, and they were stationed at the berth for a long time, only to serve as a deterrent. Many space defense platforms and warships of the planetary defense fleet gradually increased after the outbreak of the war, and all such troop increases needed to be filed with the Galactic Republic.

Because neither the authorities of the Galactic Republic nor the aristocrats on these planets are willing to see any heavy firepower on their planets, and it is best to enjoy singing and dancing.

Although the Ulan family has secretly hidden and smuggled some equipment over the years, the planet Lundili is really too big, and it is one of the top super planets in the entire galaxy. With a population of 600 billion and nearly 100 million public security police, it is impossible for them to fully equip these people.

So here you can see the two sides holding pistols, shooting each other across a solid bunker, and a dozen is a spectacle for most of the day.

And there are still a lot of stupid officers like Captain Jesse Darling, the fleet commander.

Calling them idiots would be an exaggeration, but they just don't know what war is at all. Again, the Lundili Interstellar Power Company and the Lundili planet are too big. These people are in their current position. There may be countless reasons and relationships, but their abilities are not included.

So when Darth Malthael came to the planet Rendili, what depressed him the most was the sense of powerlessness that led a group of talents to rebel.

Because in essence, everything he did in Rendili was a meddling.

To put it bluntly, Lundili Planet is a planet in the inner circle not far from the capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant. They want to rebel. What's wrong with your Dawn Planet in a remote area?

This is like an Apple executive who is about to resign, and the chairman of your Wal-Mart company runs over to interfere. What can you do? Can you go to Apple's territory to "gather superior forces"? In the end, you can't just rely on the resources of Apple in the hands of this executive to do things.

As for sending the fleet over in advance, that is not realistic. In the situation on Rendili's side, even if Darth Malthael used the rebirth plan extensively to replace with clones to brainwash some people, the final situation is very complicated.

It is impossible to call Severance Tann's fleet before the situation is really opened up. Her fleet came too early, which can only be counterproductive. Instead, it directly confirmed the pretext of the Separatists' invasion of Lendili, allowing the The public opinion environment on the planet Lundili is even worse.

But the Galactic Republic is different. They can send a fleet over as soon as they see that the situation in Rendili is not right. Not only is the distance closer, but there is no hindrance.

In the final analysis, this is to dig a piece of meat from the heart of the Galactic Republic, not to grab a piece of unowned cake like the previous battle for the Blade Fleet.

If you want to grab a piece of unowned cake, you can say that whoever strikes faster eats more, but if you dig a piece of meat in someone's heart, you have to be prepared to bear the fist that the opponent can hit at any time.

But all of this, with the rise of the planetary shield, has become two worlds.

In this world on the planet Rendili, no matter how the chickens peck at each other, no matter how much the public opinion talks about it, it is all here, and on the space battlefield, that is the stage where the elite forces of both sides compete. !

The victory or defeat inside the Lundili planet is related to the stability and continuity of the planet and the Lundili Interstellar Power Company, while the victory or defeat of the space battlefield is related to the ownership of the Lundili planet.

But the current situation is obvious. Before the arrival of Severance Tann's fleet, the "elite force" of Rendili Interstellar Power Company has already proved itself vulnerable to the regular army of the Republic.

All Darth Malthael needs to do now is stall for time until Severance Tann's fleet arrives.

He can know that Tann has entered the hyperspace, but he doesn't know her exact location yet, so he can only continue to resist and wait patiently.

...

Boom~~~~ The battleship shook again, and the Knight-class Star Destroyer of the Republic Task Force hit again. But Darth Malthael standing on the bridge remained unmoved, just glanced at the data displayed on the battleship console, and then continued to stand there without saying a word.

Just now under the order of Darth Marthael, the Rendili Planet Defense Fleet executed more than 10 battleship adjutants and captains, and finally stabilized the chaos. The Golan I space defense platform is used as the center to redeploy the defense line.

Although the commanding battleship commanders of Rendili are a pile of shit, at least they can stand still and fire. With the fire support of the two space defense platforms, they finally regained their footing.

The Victory I-class Star Destroyer where Darth Marthael is located, because the battleships are operated by B-1 robots, it has become the strongest ship in the entire fleet.

He looked at the Republic Fleet that was approaching on the holographic star map, even from here, he could feel Master Yoda's dazzling light side force—yes, Master Yoda went to this task force , also took part in the attack.

Darth Malthael snorted coldly, and said to a B-1 robot: "Keep the battleship fully fired, and aim at the opponent's three largest battleships!"

"Roger Roger!"

At the same time that the B-1 robot responded mechanically, Darth Malthael had already turned and walked towards the hangar.
