The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2301. Formal declaration of war

After Krua Vandron issued a statement against Rendili Interstellar Dynamics, almost everyone in the entire galaxy immediately understood that the Galactic Empire intended to repeat what happened to the Trade Union to Rendili Interstellar Dynamics!

However, the biggest difference between Rendili Interstellar Dynamics and the Trade Union is that they are now part of the Principality of Dawn!

This action of the Galactic Empire is equivalent to reaching directly into the pocket of the Principality of Dawn, which is absolutely intolerable!

However, in fact, in terms of legal theory, the behavior of the Galactic Empire is completely tenable. Because first of all, now the Principality of Dawn is now ostensibly subordinate to the Galactic Empire, then Rendili Interstellar Dynamics is naturally also a company within the Galactic Empire. On the other hand, although Rendili Interstellar Dynamics belongs to the Principality of Dawn, it is not a state-owned holding company of the Principality of Dawn.

That's right, although the highest director of Rendili Interstellar Dynamics, Edel-Ulan, is the wife of Grand Duke Tang Xiao of Dawn, the Principality of Dawn does not directly hold shares in Rendili Interstellar Dynamics.

Therefore, although everyone knows that the Galactic Empire's claim to Rendili Interstellar Dynamics 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 the legal sense, this claim is really tenable!

Krua-Vanderon issued an ultimatum to Rendili Interstellar Dynamics, requiring the company to open all borders and release all survey team members within 24 standard hours, and the planetary defense fleet to lay down its arms and accept the reorganization of the Galactic Empire.

Faced with such a rude request, Rendili Interstellar Dynamics seemed very calm. The company spokesperson said very calmly that there was no fence installed in the Rendili galaxy, and the Empire was welcome to come at any time. The survey team members 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 saliva and leather words are naturally meaningless.

But the real heavyweight is still to come!

At 14:00 on August 5, Daphne Clement, the current Prime Minister of the Principality of Dawn, held a press conference and made a public speech to the Galactic Empire.

The Principality of Dawn claimed that the Galactic Empire's previous war against the Trade Union was a complete act of plunder, a despicable and shameless act that even interstellar pirates would despise. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, Emperor Palpatine of the Galactic Empire shamelessly robbed and plundered the Trade Union. Not only the Trade Union, but also the property of the core circle nobles deposited in the world of wealth was embezzled by Palpatine.

Now, the Galactic Empire is preparing to rob the Rendili Interstellar Dynamics Company in the same way. For such behavior, the Principality of Dawn feels ashamed for the Galactic Empire, believing that such a sovereign country has neither ability nor morality, and has no bottom line, and is completely unable to fulfill its responsibilities as the ruler of the galaxy.

For the vast people of the Milky Way, the Galactic Empire has become a robber and criminal, even worse than the pirates of the Trandoshans.

The Principality of Dawn calls on the Galactic Empire to return to the right path as soon as possible, return all the wealth plundered from the Trade Union and the World of Wealth, disband the redundant fleets, and use the citizens' taxes correctly for infrastructure and economic development, so as to become an ideal regime that benefits the people. If Palpatine can learn from his mistakes and make amends, the Principality of Dawn is still willing to recognize the suzerainty of the Galactic Empire.

Finally, regarding the Galactic Empire's plunder of Rendili Interstellar Dynamics, the Principality of Dawn is willing to stand on the side of justice and say no to all illegal plunder. And it is willing to help all those whose freedom and property have been violated and fight against the invasion of bandits.

This tit-for-tat speech was soon submitted to the Galactic Empire in the form of a formal diplomatic note. And this speech also officially made its attitude clear.

Rendili Planet is here! If you dare to come, then fight!

…

At 23:00 on the evening of August 5.

The Galactic Empire issued an official announcement-Rendili Interstellar Dynamics refused to accept the ultimatum. From now on, the Galactic Empire will use all means to guarantee its own interests and ensure the return of lost assets. Any existence that blocks the Galactic Empire's legitimate demands will be regarded as an enemy by the Galactic Empire and will be ruthlessly attacked!

At 2:40 am on August 6, the Principality of Dawn officially declared war on the Galactic Empire!

At 2:50 am, the Galactic Empire declared war on the Principality of Dawn!

At 3:30 am, the Principality of Dawn established the first task force with the garrison of Eriadu as the core, and the Anchoron-class Titan battleship Xuanwu as the flagship, leaving the spaceport of Eriadu, entering the hyperspace jump, and lost its trace.

At 3:35 am, the Principality of Dawn established the second task force with the garrison of Yago-Duer as the core, and the Anchoron-class Titan battleship Taowu as the flagship, leaving the spaceport of Yago-Duer, entering the hyperspace jump, and lost its trace.

At 5:30, a fast fleet of the Principality of Dawn set out from Christophsis and attacked the garrison on Radnor, sinking an Aquitens-class light cruiser and four frigates.

Since then, the war known as the "Second Civil War of the Galaxy" has officially begun!

…

At 7:09 am on August 6, the command center of the planet Rendili.

"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.

Snap! ! Admiral Trench banged the pointer in his hand heavily. He pointed in this direction and shouted: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."

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 salvoes, 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 lance 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 chapter)
