The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

535. Bespin Defense Line

"60 Hunter-class battlecruisers?" Matt Horner frowned. "According to our information, this is a battleship about the size of a Cole-class battlecruiser."

"And there is no doubt that relying on the deep manufacturing background of the Kuat Power Dockyard, the reliability of this kind of warship must be higher than that of our current main battleship, the Cole-class battlecruiser. But there is also good news. A huge hangar, so their firepower is not comparable to the Cole class." In the holographic projection, Mrs. M, the Minister of Military Intelligence, said.

"Since the Galactic Republic is so confident that sending 60 Hunter-class battlecruisers can defeat our deployment on Planet Bespin, they must have their own reasons." Matt Horner said: "I must do the worst plan."

"In addition, Your Excellency the Governor also said that General Severance Tann's secret military operation is expected to start within 15 standard days. Once that happens, the Republic will have to put its main force in her direction. At that time, the war situation on Planet Bespin will usher in a turning point." Mrs. M said.

"15 standard days? I understand. I will deploy on this premise." Matt Horner raised his wrist to look at the perpetual calendar on the watch, set himself a date reminder, and then put his hands behind his back again. Behind him, he said very seriously: "I will definitely defend Planet Bespin."

After finishing the communication, Matt Horner turned around and looked through the porthole to the outer space, where hundreds of engineering ships are building a large number of cosmic fortifications without rest.

This is the defense system of the Traders Emergency Alliance from "Original Sins of a Solar Empire", which mainly includes a small Gauss cannon fire platform and a space hangar.

The Gauss firepower platform is actually a small space station with a height of 60 meters and a width of more than 30 meters. It is equipped with two heavy-duty electromagnetic guns with a caliber of 500mm, two 16-unit pulse rocket launchers and two near-anti-laser cannons. In fact, according to the design of the Traders Emergency Alliance, this firepower platform should also be equipped with a meson ray cannon, but this weapon is still under development and has not been able to catch up with this battle.

The hangar platform is a small space station with a height of 50 meters and a width of 120 meters. It is equipped with four double-mounted near-anti-laser cannons and two hangars. Each hangar can carry a squadron of 12 Wraith fighters or 24 Vulture robot fighters, and there are relatively complete maintenance and supply equipment inside.

This kind of hangar platform is mainly to liberate the main battleship, and can deploy the battleship and fighter jets on the planet in a scattered manner, so as not to be blocked by the enemy. And once there is no need to take off and land fighter jets, the shields of the main battleships will be more concentrated.

We must know that in various battles, warships have to take into account the take-off and landing of fighter jets, so it is not uncommon for local fighters to seize the opportunity to directly severely damage them.

In order to enhance the concealment of the Gauss firepower platform hangar platform, the engineers of the Fourth Civilization also installed stealth equipment for this small space station. Although it is necessary to stop stealth once it fires or takes off and lands fighter jets, it also greatly improves the concealment of these two interstellar fortifications.

At present, Matt Horner is building a solid line of defense around the planet Bespin, mainly on the outskirts of the Bespin life zone near Cloud City.

In addition to the 80 unmanned missile platforms deployed by the Sowa-class aircraft carrier to block Bespin, 20 hangar platforms and 180 Gauss firepower platforms are still being built here.

Not only that, Matt Horner also deployed 20 empty minefields. These empty minefields are mainly arranged on the periphery of Yuncheng and several other largest floating cities. Then make a fortune.

But this is not enough!

Matt Horner knew in his heart that now that the hyperspace channel connects all parts of the galaxy, it would take less than a day to sail from one end of the galaxy to the other. Such a situation has led to an extremely fast-paced and extremely tragic war, and industrial capabilities will also occupy the most important factor.

In other words, if one side has strong industrial capabilities, then they can build a large number of warships and launch attacks from multiple directions simultaneously within a day, and their numerical advantage will be infinitely expanded.

On the other side, they can only hinder the opponent's maneuver by setting up hyperspace blockers, and if the hyperspace channel passes large-scale warships at high density in a short period of time, it will also cause disturbances. In this way, there is still resistance to some extent.

In other words, Matt Horner understands that it is easier said than done to defend Bespin for 15 days!

Most importantly, the fleet of the Republic can afford to lose, but the fleet of the Fourth Civilization cannot afford to lose it!

Matt Horner pondered for a long time, and another battle plan began to take shape in his mind. After thinking about it, he connected to the communication of Igor Zavarov, commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Fourth Civilization.

...

Going forward 6 days in time, the fleet of the Fourth Civilization marched in three directions. In addition to the A fleet attacking the planet Bespin, Severance Tann also sent her adjutant to lead the main force of the Fourth Civilization B fleet to Celia planet.

After the civil war ended on Ceria and the establishment of a republic that was alienated and willing to accept technological products, Elder Dole-Femi-Bommi became the supreme ruler of Ceria.

But when separatism really started to rise, the attitude of the great elder Dole became a little ambiguous. Although he is relatively close to separatism, he has always kept a close distance, neither supporting nor opposing. Whenever Earl Dooku wishes to sign a treaty with him, he will always say the planet Ceria It has just begun to develop and cannot withstand such a war.

On May 21, when the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies officially met in battle, Dole-Femi-Bommi, the great elder of the planet Seria, declared the neutrality of the planet Seria.

From the perspective of their planet itself, this decision is understandable.

But from the perspective of the Fourth Civilization and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, this is betrayal! Because you made an ambiguous statement towards us at the beginning, and we also provided real money to help you establish an industrial and technological system. Now you turn your face and open your mouth to declare neutrality?

Sorry, no.

On May 23, the main force of Fleet B set off.

In the early morning of May 24, Fleet B arrived at the planet Ceria.

When bursts of extremely intense white light appeared on the periphery of the planet's gravitational circle, and then one kilometer-level giant ship appeared here, the entire planet Seria fell into panic.

20 Cole-class battlecruisers, 20 Higra-class battlecruisers, and 20 Sowa-class aircraft carriers, such a force can easily burn the planet Seria into a glass ball in one day.

The Great Elder Dole-Femi-Bangmi was terrified. How could he never imagine that a planet like himself with no industrial capabilities could attract such a huge fleet?

He hurriedly asked the diplomat to connect to the communication of the Commander of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, hoping to resolve this issue through diplomatic channels.

What if the Separatist fleet appears here, and then further attracts the Galactic Republic's fleet! -
