The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1720. The end of the Galactic Republic (1)

The Yago-Durr galaxy is still in chaos. Star No. 2 is still moving very violently towards the other end of the galaxy, but its speed has begun to gradually decrease. After all, this star failed to break away from the gravitational control of the huge star No. 1 in the center of the galaxy, and failed to fly to other places.

The Yago-Dur planet, which also flew out at high speed, has gradually moved closer to the orbit of the No. 2 star under the influence of gravity. Within the next month, this planet will be captured by the No. 2 star and become its satellite. Then it follows the No. 2 star into a wider orbit - rotating around the No. 1 star.

But this process will not last too long. According to the current orbit of star No. 2, this star will be entangled with the gravity of star No. 3 again in 5 years. At that time, the second star and the third star will form a binary star system.

During this process, the Yago-Dur planet will be tossed back and forth between the two stars like a pinball for at least 20 years.

These 20 years will be a very difficult 20 years for Jiwen people.

But no matter what, now when the last Galactic Republic warship chooses to surrender in despair, there is no longer a Galactic Republic warship in the Yago-Dur system. This is a very rare victory!

The Jiwen people who were still hiding in the huge underground cave did not let the astronomical disaster affect their good mood at all. They celebrated the victory enthusiastically in their own way.

Because the Jiwen people are always in a precarious state, and the entire planet may be destroyed at any time, so every time they encounter something happy, they will celebrate without reservation.

If we don’t celebrate now, will we have to wait until the future where we don’t know whether we will live or die?

The way the Jiwen people celebrate is very strange, because their entire race advocates mathematics, so the way they celebrate is... doing math problems... and they are weird and tricky math problems!

They took out various mathematical problems they designed and projected them on a small holographic projection. While discussing the subtleties of their own problems, they discussed the mathematical problems raised by other family members.

In short, some of the Dawn Principality technicians and soldiers who stayed on the planet Yago-Dur, after seeing the way the Jiwen people celebrated, they had to decline the warm hospitality of the other party and returned to their own homes in despair. The residence is drunk.

Just kidding, in front of this group of Jiwen people, even the few senior engineers from the Dawn Principality who accompanied the army felt like children who had not graduated from elementary school. When those Jiwen people gathered around them with what they thought were enthusiasm, but in reality no expression could be seen from their chitinous skull-like heads, and they were holding a series of math problems that they had never seen before for you to do. When I was there, this feeling of oppression was really unmatched by anything else!

By the way, Jiwen people don't drink alcohol, they don't smoke, let alone spices, and they definitely don't touch them. Because these things will disrupt their logical thinking.

In short, now not only the Yago-Dur planet, but also the entire Principality of Dawn, all the Galactic Republic warships have been completely eliminated!

That's right, it's victory!

The Galactic Republic almost assembled an overwhelming fleet to besiege the Principality of Dawn, opening up two major battlefields in the Model Sector and the Yago-Dur System. It invested nearly 600 capital ships, more than 400 small and medium-sized warships, and various types of transport ships. There are more than 8,000 ships, and more than 40,000 carrier-based fighters and bombers of various types!

Such a huge force pressed against the border, but in the end, it was completely repelled by the Principality of Dawn!

Not only was it repelled, but it also cost the Galactic Republic an extremely heavy price! Less than one-third of the warships participating in the battle were able to return to the rear!

This is of course a victory! And it's a decisive victory!

When the news of victory spreads to every planet in the Principality of Dawn, it will be a carnival that covers the entire territory! Every one of the 800 billion people of the Principality of Dawn cheered for this victory. They loudly praised the heroic decision of the Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao, who took the lead, and loudly praised General Matt Horner and Volgograd-Kanidi. He strategizes and uses troops like a god.

Tang Xiao even directly declared August 7th as the victory day of the Dawn Principality! Three days of holiday throughout the country! And from now on, this Victory Day will continue as a regular holiday.

Of course he will not begrudge this vacation, because Tang Xiao now knows very well that the Galactic Republic is over! After two and a half years of struggle, the Dawn Principality finally gained a piece of the sky for itself! It has laid a stable development period for at least the next ten years!

That's right, the Galactic Republic is finished.

Because this failure is already an unbearable burden for the Galactic Republic.

In fact, what Tang Xiao, Qi Jian, Matt Horner and other top leaders of the Fourth Civilization didn't know was that the Galactic Republic actually invested more troops in this attack than they thought!

For this attack, the Galactic Republic mobilized a total of nearly 700 capital ships!

In addition to the direction of the Model sector and the direction of Yago-Dur, the Galactic Republic originally planned to open a third battlefield in the Eriadu system at the same time, and prepared a force of 150 capital ships for this purpose.

But at that time, because Tang Xiao felt the changes in the Jedi Order, he judged that Order 66 was probably launched. Therefore, he asked the Supreme Military Command to formulate an attack plan and prepare to take advantage of the situation.

That's why there was the next battle on the planet Ennako.

Under the leadership of General Ling, the fleet of the planet Eriadu took the initiative and attacked the planet Kira, the Republic's fleet assembly point, and then turned back to fight a beautiful defensive counterattack on the planet Ennaco.

Although this battle did not achieve any substantive results, it was a severe blow to the arrogance of the Republic fleet that was preparing to attack, and it also damaged the space stations around the planet Kira. The Republic military had to attack the planet Kira. The base was rebuilt.

And in the following time, the Galactic Republic, which had suffered too much from the Xuanwu Titan battleship, had to continue to increase its troops to the planet Kira and always remain on the defensive.

Then the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic, which was stretched thin due to lack of strength, agreed to Kuat Power Shipyard's gamble plan and put Kuat in charge of the battle in the Model Sector.

How could Quat Power Dockyard be at war? And as a company, it is impossible for them to have the authority to command an official Galactic Republic Navy General. That's why Casio Tager, a top student at the military academy who was previously a major, was promoted to major general and then commanded the fleet at Kuat Power Shipyard.

At the same time, Quat Power Dockyard also has the authority to direct Casio Tag's actions.

In this way, it actually laid the foundation for the failure of the Model Sector Battle.

Just imagine, if General Ling had not launched the Battle of Ennaco, then the Galactic Republic's attack this time would be mainly from the two directions of the Eriadu system and the Yago-Dur system. The raid in the Model sector might have Yes, but not on such a large scale.

So next, the main ships of the Galactic Republic fleet in the Eriadu system and the Yago-Dur system may exceed 300 ships. At the same time, since these two directions do not require long-distance raids, they will also bring a large number of small and medium-sized warships. Cooperation, and logistical supplies are not a problem.

Then these two battlefields will also become a frontal war of attrition! And while it is being consumed in both directions, the Model sector will also be attacked!

So under the circumstances at that time, it was possible for the Model Sector to directly declare independence, then make a separate peace with the Galactic Republic, or withdraw from the war.

In this case, even if the Dawn Principality can still win, it will definitely be broken. Next, facing a devastated Principality of Dawn, Darth Sidious will definitely not have much patience.

So in fact, many times when you are feeling very uncomfortable, you have to think that your opponent may be feeling even more uncomfortable than you. Sometimes if you bite the bullet and take the initiative, you may actually get a huge turnaround.

For example, General Ling almost completely gave up the defense of the planet Eriadu and boldly sent the Titan battleship Xuanwu to the battle on the planet Ennaco.

That battle laid a solid foundation for subsequent victories.

Now, the results are different!

During the Model Sector Assault Battle, the Galactic Republic and Kuat Power Shipyard assembled a total of 439 battleships, most of which were Jaeger-class battlecruisers, and a small number were outdated battleships such as Invincible-class battlecruisers. The latest There are only 30 Knight-class Star Destroyers of this type.

Not only that, in order to achieve the effect of directly raiding the rear of the Principality of Dawn, Kuat Power Shipyard also spent a huge amount of money to build a hyperspace stabilizer in an unmanned galaxy that uses stars as its energy source. And a military base consisting of hundreds of large space stations was built around this super facility!

Just the construction of this military base and hyperspace stabilizer, which was later named the Dawn Galaxy, cost so much money and resources that even the stretched Treasury Department of the Galactic Republic could only look up to it!

However, in this failed raid, all 310 warships sent there were wiped out, and none of them could come back! Fleet commander Casio Tagg and adjutant László Dolit were said to have been killed in action.

Not to mention, the hyperspace stabilizer of the Dawn Galaxy was also used by the Principality of Dawn's ace spy James Bond and Nova, Gabriel Tosh, plus two Dark Templar warriors Sora-A, Destroyed by the luxurious combination of Ora Khan and Super Hacker Super Lotus.

The ensuing chaos also caused heavy losses to the Dawn Galaxy. Among the more than 100 capital ships that stayed in the Dawn Galaxy and were lucky enough to not be sent to the Model sector, 3 more Jaeger-class ships were destroyed, and 11 ships were destroyed. The Jaeger-class was seriously damaged in the process and had to be returned to the factory for overhaul.

So this is a total loss of 324 battleships! More than 20,000 carrier-based aircraft were also wiped out!

In addition, in order to maintain the huge amount of supplies needed to maintain this huge fleet fighting in the Model Sector, those transport ships used hyperspace stabilizers in the past and it didn't matter, but when they returned, they had to risk passing through the Model Sector channel. The hyperspace channel opened by Master Yoda is now extremely unstable. During this process, at least more than 500 transport ships were lost.

As mentioned before, although this huge fleet is said to be provided by Kuat Power Shipyard, in fact it still consumes the strength of the Galactic Republic itself. There is no special significance other than making the finances of the Galactic Republic look a little better.

After all, no matter how much money Kuate Power Shipyard has, it belongs to them, and the Galactic Republic has no right to let them take out the money. This battle is actually about asking Kuat Power Shipyard to take the initiative to take out the money.

The Model Sector Raid can be said to be the most tragic failure of the Galactic Republic in its 25,000-plus years of existence!

Then came the Battle of Yago-Dur Planet, which was fought with the 20th Army of the Republic as the main force. The Governor of the 20th Army, Octavian Grant, who received a large number of battleship reinforcements, invited General Gideon Tarkin to serve as the supreme commander. At the same time, this move also allowed him to get the current Governor of the Fourth Army, Wilhuff Tarkin. support.

With the support of Governor Tarkin, Octavian Grant received strong political and logistical support, allowing him to launch the Yago-Dur system offensive.

Because according to previous intelligence, the Titan battleships of the Dawn Principality were built in the Yago-Dur system, so this battle is also of great significance.

But God is not as good as man. Even if Admiral Gideon Tarkin has indeed proved his strength as a famous general, his step-by-step tactics have also succeeded in almost defeating the commander-in-chief of the Dawn Principality's fleet, Admiral Matt Horner. Completely suppressed.

However, the Yago-Dour galaxy is a three-body galaxy!

The inability to accurately calculate the movement patterns of the three-body galaxy left Admiral Gideon Tarkin unprepared for the drastic changes that would follow. He was completely defeated by Admiral Matt Horner using that only chance!

In the Yago-Dur system battle, the Galactic Republic invested a total of 209 capital ships, more than 400 small and medium-sized battleships, and 20 large auxiliary ships such as shield ships.

However, due to the proper command of Admiral Gideon Tarkin, although the battle was a disastrous defeat, more or less some battleships were brought back. In addition to his flagship Commander II-class dreadnought, there are 54 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, 2 Knight-class Star Destroyers, and 57 small and medium-sized battleships that can go back.

Among the newly developed Vindicator-class heavy cruisers developed and built by Republic Sina Systems, all five of them that were launched into the Yago-Dur system were destroyed. The other five ships stayed at the forward base and were on standby. Before they could set off, news of the main fleet's defeat came, so they were lucky enough to be saved.

However, because of this, Republic Cina Systems was unable to obtain more battlefield data, which delayed the official service of the Defender class for half a year. This can be considered a strategic significance. (End of chapter)
