The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2337. The First Battle of Fangduo (2)

boom! boom! ! boom! ! !

The dull sound of bombing continued to sound. Octavian Grant, the governor of the 20th Army of the Galactic Empire, looked at the sky with an extremely gloomy expression.

The continuous bombing has lasted for three days. During these three days, on average once every five hours, the huge and more powerful nuclear bomb will arrive as scheduled and accurately hit the planetary shield of Fangduo Planet. superior.

The continuous bombings of giant nuclear bombs with a yield of tens of billions put the planetary shield of Fangduo Planet under tremendous pressure. Octavian Grant has arranged for three industrial companies on the planet to continuously produce shield capacitors to meet the needs of the planet's shield.

Now every time a bombing occurs, the planetary shield will produce huge energy losses to neutralize the power of the nuclear bomb.

The shield system is like this. If it is a battleship armored belt, this kind of attack with a wide spread range and not very powerful per unit area may not even be able to scratch the itch at all. However, the planetary shield must consume the same amount or even higher energy to neutralize this attack.

This is why 99.999% of the planets in the galaxy cannot afford the cost of planetary shields. In the final analysis, it is expensive. Not only is it expensive to buy, it’s even more expensive to use. Some planets with less developed industries may be bombed by the other party, and the entire planet's power generation will be swallowed up by the planetary shield.

Octavian Grant has just signed an order to transform thirteen factories on the planet to produce more shield capacitors. At the same time, more reactor units will be added to more than 70 power stations on the planet. From the back of the Galactic Empire, more supplies are constantly being sent.

But even so, it will take at least a month for these things to turn into real energy sources and be replenished to the planetary shield. And now Fangduo Planet's planetary shield doesn't have a month to waste!

According to calculations, the planetary shield of Planet Fangduo can last up to two weeks under the current intensity of bombing every five hours!

But in the current situation, we absolutely cannot take the initiative. He forced Gideon Tarkin to take the initiative once before, but Gideon was also worried that his battleship would suffer serious losses, so he quickly evacuated after a false shot. But even so, this encounter was extremely thrilling, which also verified the military's prediction-to defeat this powerful fleet led by the famous general Severance Tann, more than three times the force must be Just fine.

So based on Admiral Gideon Tarkin's advice, Octavian Grant also issued an order - strictly prohibited from going to war!

Even if the opponent's secret weapons continue to bombard the planet's planetary shield, they will never go to war, and they will never give the Dawn Kingdom's fleet any chance for a decisive battle! Waiting for Darth Vader's reinforcements to arrive before fighting to the death.

But just when the defenders of the Galactic Empire were frightened, Severance Tann, commander of the Kingdom of Dawn fleet, once again made an amazing move.

When the main fleets of both sides were facing each other in the air between the two planets Fangduo and Planet Three, the optical sensors of the imperial fleet suddenly sent back an extremely astonishing picture!

On the screen, dozens of Raz-class heavy engineering ships in the Kingdom of Dawn are assembling a very huge ring-shaped space facility! The diameter of this space facility is about 50 kilometers. The surrounding ring structure is under intensive construction, and many complex machinery are being installed.

In the section that has been installed, it shows a ferocious style that looks like a crustacean insect. The color is dark red and black, which makes people feel chilling.

No one needs to explain, just this shape has already publicly explained to everyone - this thing is the Star Gate! !

Although the Galactic Empire is sure that there is a star gate in the Kingdom of Dawn and has seen photos, this star gate under construction is the first time they have seen it with their own eyes!

There is no doubt that once this star gate is completed, the Fang Duo planet will be included in the star gate network of the Dawn Kingdom. At that time, the Dawn Kingdom will transport various supplies and fleet reinforcements to the Fang Duo planet, which may be more powerful than the Galaxy. The empire is more convenient!

Once the star gate is completed, no one knows where the war situation on Fangduo Planet will go!

Now, Governor Octavian Grant and Admiral Gideon Tarkin once again face a dilemma - the planet Fondo is constantly being attacked by mysterious nuclear bombs, and the planetary shield can still last for about two weeks. At the same time, the Separatists are building the Stargate. Once the construction is completed, their logistical support will be endless!

So, take the initiative to destroy the star gate, and maybe even get some star gate debris for study? Or should we continue to cower in the face of the nuclear bomb bombardment and the star gate under our noses?

After a long period of consideration, Octavian Grant and Gideon Tarkin finally made their choice - the Turtle!

Now the power in their hands is really unable to compete head-on with the Kingdom of Dawn's fleet.

About 10 more days passed during this confrontation, and it was August 33.

At this moment, battlefields are also starting in other directions in the galaxy. In the direction of the Mingban planet, the fleet led by the "Baraboo Butcher" has defeated the few defense fleets of the Galactic Empire and has begun to land on the planet. A land battle has broken out, and the Galactic Empire's reinforcement fleet is heading towards the planet Mingban.

In the western part of the Milky Way, the fleet of the reorganized Free Dak Volunteer Engineering Corps is fighting fiercely with the fleet of the Galactic Empire near the planet Parment, and has already gained the upper hand. The defense of Parment Harbor is about to begin.

At the same time, the rebels of those planets that have revolted in this direction have begun to attack the garrison camps of the Galactic Empire, and the situation is not optimistic.

In the northern part, Dunn Wessex ordered Admiral Gilad Pellaeon to immediately organize the fleet and prepare to start a counterattack. More than 800 warships have assembled and started to move out on the planet Paarin Minor, the capital of the Ninth Army, aiming directly at the previously captured planet Od-Mantell, the capital of the Eighth Army!

In the Mandalore sector, after receiving the order from the Supreme Command, the Galactic Empire fleet avoided fighting and withdrew from this sector. When the fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn was about to pursue, their headquarters, Akiva, was suddenly attacked by an unknown fleet, and the fleet commander had to return to help.

At the same time, in the direction of Chis Territory, after defeating Admiral Chiara's main fleet, Vice Admiral Thrawn became famous in the Galactic Empire's army like a supernova. In addition to being ecstatic, Dunn-Wessex also sent as many warships as possible to Chis Territory, hoping that Vice Admiral Thrawn could further expand the results of the war.

In this chaos, the Galactic Empire was defeated step by step. They kept retreating in the border area and gave up a large number of planets. The Imperial Fleet was defeated in almost every battle, and their rule in the outer ring of the galaxy was already in jeopardy.

The Outer Rim Star Region territory, which has been in a precarious situation since the war between the Galactic Empire and the Trade Federation began, is now truly under a fatal threat. At present, the Galactic Empire can still control less than half of the Outer Rim Star Region!

What's more fatal is that under such circumstances, even the attitude of Hutt Space has begun to become ambiguous!
