The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

627. The Battle of Christopher Sith (5)

A cheerer-class assault landing ship landed directly on the eastern outskirts of Crystal City, the capital of the planet Christopher Sis. 8,000 clone warriors quickly rushed out from the huge hatch with a width of 60 meters. They used TX-130 Saber suspension tanks as First, launched an assault on the robot army besieging Senator Bail Organa.

The 500 clone soldiers brought by Senator Bail Organa held on for a whole week by taking advantage of the difficult terrain, and now there are only more than 100 people left. And under the protection of these soldiers, although Bail Organa's spirits were a little sluggish, at least he was still safe.

After responding to Councilor Bail Organa, these clone troopers began to deploy more armored units from the Cheer-class assault landing ship.

Because Planet Christopher Sis has organized a group of rebels, although they are basically no-names who can barely shoot, but they are more or less a firepower point, so this group of reinforcements carries more armored units.

Among the Cheerers, 70 AT-TE walkers and 10 AZ-7 self-propelled artillery were carried. The clone army immediately began to deploy the AZ-7 self-propelled artillery at high places, to attack the distant independent The droid legions of the Confederacy of the Galaxy bombed.

Worm Lostham was eager to capture Crystal City as soon as possible, so he only adopted a strategy of besieging and not attacking Bail Organa's troops. Instead of gnawing on this hard bone, he used his main force to attack Crystal City city.

But he underestimated the determination of the Christopher Sis to guard the capital and the size of Crystal City. This super city with a population of 800 million is full of various crystal-like buildings, which are very hard, and the Christopher Sis Resistance Army Soldiers hid in every place and shot coldly, but those robots would not hide!

Among the almost endless building complexes of this super-giant city, the 400,000 robot army invested by Worm Lostham hardly even caused a splash. Although the robots continued to drive away the civilians and destroy the defenders' resistance, their progress was still very slow.

Although in the long run, the fall of Christopher Siss is only a matter of time, but it is clear that as the planet Tatooine opened up the waterway, the large-scale fleet of the Galactic Republic could pass, leaving Worm-Lother Tom's time is running out.

The clone army also entered Crystal City from several other directions. They fought the robot army in the city, effectively delaying the robot's offensive. At the same time, the clone army on the Cheerer-class assault landing ship that landed on the eastern outskirts also seriously threatened the rear of the robot army after establishing artillery positions, making Worm Lostham feel like a stick in his throat.

As a last resort, Worm Lostham once again asked the retail industry union for help, and the retail industry union, which had already lost even their underwear, had no choice but to find a business alliance.

An exasperated Parcel-Argent connected Admiral Trench's communication and cursed, but Admiral Trench retorted back confidently. He directly questioned Parcel Argent, why did the Republic's fleet have the opportunity to enter Christopher Sis through Tatooine's hyperspace channel?

He claimed that his plan was flawless, but the work of the Confederacy of Independent Systems went awry, which allowed the Republic fleet to come directly here.

This made Passel Argent speechless, and Admiral Trench was also the best fleet commander he could find, so he could only humbly ask Admiral Trench if there was anything else he could do. .

Admiral Trench's method is also very simple, send reinforcements, both the fleet and the army are needed.

Now the clone army of the Republic on Christopher Sis has reached 30,000 people, and they have already seen how powerful the clone soldiers are. These 30,000 troops are absolutely capable of driving their robot army back to their hometown.

So now we first need more fleets to suppress the Republic's fleet again, so that they can't continue to send reinforcements over unscrupulously. After cutting off their backup, they had to find a way to kill the 30,000 clone troopers.

Admiral Trench told him directly that the Galactic Republic had sent 20 Jaeger-class ships and 15 Arquitect-class ships, and even the 6 Cheer-class ships could join the battle. In contrast, the fleet in his hands is not enough to defeat the fleet of the Republic, and the Higra-class battlecruiser alone is completely unable to compete with the Jaeger-class.

Parcel Argent was going crazy, where would he find such a fleet now?

Because according to the plan of the Supreme Command of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy, he must join his fleet in General Grievous's attack on the Kamino planet. Because as a Kuliwa who has lived by the sea for a long time, Parcel-Argent is relatively familiar with amphibious operations. After all, the Quarren, the most important aquatic race on the Confederacy side, are temporarily unreliable due to the unstable political situation on the Mon Calamari planet, so Grievous let the Enterprise Alliance fleet lead the attack.

The arrangement from the Supreme Command made Passel Argent dare not refuse, but in this way, he would have no more power to continue investing in the planet Christopher Sis.

Admiral Trench told him that if it didn't work, he should ask the Supreme Command for help, so that General Grievous would naturally make arrangements to call in some fleets from other places. The current confederation of independent galaxies is at its peak, and it is far from the point where the fleet is stretched. Only the corporate alliance with too much appetite is in distress.

But Passel Argent was absolutely unwilling to go to this step. The reason why he made a huge bet was to monopolize the planet Christopher Sis. Now asking for help from the Confederate Supreme Command, even if the last planet is taken down, it will not be his.

He absolutely does not want to see this result.

Passel-Argent searched his stomach and recruited 5 Disobedient-class light destroyers and 10 Generosity-class frigates from various places. Of course, although they are called light destroyers and frigates, in fact, due to the current very chaotic warship classification in the Milky Way, the old acquaintance Generosity class is a behemoth of 825 meters, and the Disobedient class is also a 1187-meter-long ship. Large fire support ship.

But Admiral Trench told him clearly that this was definitely not enough. He asked Passel Argent straightforwardly, do you know how many fighter jets are carried in the 20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers?

A full load of Jaeger-class can carry 420 fighters, and 20 Jaegers are 8,400 fighters.

And among the 6 Rookie Hook-class battleships on his side, each can carry 1,500 vulture robot fighters, a total of 9,000, not to mention that the V-19 Torrent fighter can easily destroy at least 5 vultures As for fighter planes, some of the 9,000 vulture robot fighter planes must be allocated to support ground operations.

Under such circumstances, if the two sides continue to break out large-scale fleet battles, the fighter group of the Republic can easily destroy the fighter group of the Confederacy, and then escort a large number of Y-wing bombers to blow up the fleet of the Confederation!

You must know that whether it is the Higra class or the Disobedient class and the Generosity class, these warships designed for the main purpose of fleet decisive battles have far insufficient anti-aircraft firepower.

"When the Hutts on the planet Tatooine opened their waterways, the plan for the Christophersis planet had already failed... Tsk tsk tsk..." Admiral Trench stroked the claws at the corner of his mouth, saying every word Said in the communication.

"This is absolutely impossible! Do you know how much money I have invested in this battle? I have prepaid a guarantee of 5 billion credits for your fleet alone!! 5 billion!! Extortion!! If I can't occupy the Christopher Sis planet now, all my investments will be in vain, do you understand?!" Parcel Argent yelled out of composure.

"If this is a gamble, tsk tsk tsk... The Republic has raised the stakes, whether you can keep up, you have to be careful and consider... tsk tsk tsk..." Admiral Trench said slowly, " The Republic Fleet is landing... When the landing operation is completed, they will concentrate the fleet and attack me. I don't know how long I can hold on... tsk tsk tsk..."

After that, he turned off the communication directly.

Passel Argent almost smashed everything that could be smashed on the desk in front of him, then he dialed Earl Dooku's communication and shouted loudly, "Why would Tatooine planet open the waterway to the Republic?! Why are the Hutts helping the Republic?!"

"Pay attention to your words, Co-Chairman Argent." Count Dooku said coldly, "For the Hutts, we have made diplomatic efforts. In fact, it is precisely for this reason that the Supreme Command is late The Battle of Christopher Sis has not been launched for a long time. You are responsible for starting the war, and I will hold you accountable. Now, you should end the battle on the planet Christopher Sis as soon as possible, block the hyperspace channel, and prevent the Republic’s huge fleet there from threatening Planet Geonosis."

"You..." Passel-Argent just felt depressed in his heart. In his opinion, everyone seemed to have sufficient reasons to defend their failures, but it was their failures that led to the destruction of Planet Christopher Sis. The war has rotted so far, hasn't it? !

At this time, Parcel Argent's assistant, Tina Ray King, said: "If we can't deploy more warships, we can at least find enough robots. As long as we continue to fight on the ground If we put pressure on, we have a chance to win."

"But that's 30,000 clone troopers..." Parcel-Argent mused.

"Then send 1 million robots there! Gather our battery-grade cargo spaceships, and hand over the escort work to mercenaries and bounty hunters!" Tina Rui-Jin said viciously.

"But there are not many mercenaries who are willing to enter the battlefield..." Passel Argent hesitated.

"Then give us the money! We can't find the battleship, and we can still find a way to get the money!" Tina Rui said, "I also know an arms dealer who can also provide us with some equipment. The man called himself Santa Claus, and his real name was Yuri Olov has a deep relationship with both the Corellia Engineering Company and the Fourth Group, and he can be regarded as an arms dealer with a wide range of connections."

Passel-Argent thought for a long time with a painful expression on his face, and finally nodded fiercely.

...

"Your Excellency, the Western War Zone has been silent for too long. I hope you can launch an offensive on the planet Karl in the near future to put pressure on the Republic's 19th Army. It would be even better if you can capture their headquarters, the planet Havan in one fell swoop." Hologram During the projection, the hideous and terrifying cyborg General Grievous said in that hoarse voice.

Sitting on the sofa, Tang Xiao propped his chin with one hand, and asked rhetorically, "After the defeat of the 19th Army of the Republic after the Battle of Bespin, they searched for warships everywhere, and now they have gathered large and small soldiers in the defense line of Planet Cal. There are more than 300 warships and 4 large armed space stations. Under such circumstances, you still want me to take the initiative to attack... Is it because of the 18th Army?"

General Grievous was very frank, and he replied: "That's right! The fleet that we attacked the 18th Army of the Republic suffered heavy losses on Planet Sullest. There is a great threat! I need you to defeat the 19th Army as soon as possible, and then start another front on the flank of the 18th Army, so that Tarkin's troops can lose sight of the other!"

"Unless we can get the Republic's fleet to actively attack my defense line, otherwise, we will not be able to capture the Republic's 19th Army's defense line on Planet Karl." Tang Xiao shook his head.

"The Granites have already merged into your war zone. This is the greatest support I can give you. I don't care what the result is, but you must launch an attack within a week! I will arrange follow-up support." Grievous said the general.

"Okay, I will do it." Tang Xiao nodded.

"Good luck, Your Excellency," General Grievous said, cutting off the communication.

After a while, the communication came again. After connecting, it was Count Dooku who appeared in the holographic projection.

"General Grievous also told me the decision of the High Command just now, and I am looking forward to the performance of your fleet." Earl Dooku said with a smile.

"It's not a good choice to go head-to-head with the Republic's 19th Army's defense line. Our loss on the planet Surust is also a lesson from the past." Tang Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head, "Maybe, I need a plan to take the Republic's fleet Seduce out."

"If you need my help, I will be happy to help you." Earl Dooku bowed very politely.

Since the previous great victory in the Battle of Bespin, Dawn Star has become famous in the Confederation Congress, and Earl Dooku's attitude towards him is getting better and better.

"I will immediately ask my staff to come up with a plan for the implementation of the specific campaign. Then, why are you looking for me?" Tang Xiao asked with a smile.

Earl Dooku nodded, his smile became a little weird, "I hope to invite you to attend the secret maiden voyage ceremony of our new flagship."
