The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

640、Confused

"The shovel is the planet Christopher Sis! Star map! Quick!" Colonel Lott said loudly, "Also, please confirm the source of information! Where is the updated decrypted information in the database? Send a receipt immediately!"

The intelligence department suddenly became busy. Someone sent a communication to inquire about the source of the information, and someone replaced the countless intelligence records on the holographic projection with a huge star map.

The computer quickly came to a conclusion, and Colonel Lott was sweating profusely, "Damn, they do have this possibility! If the Separatist fleet departs from the planet Bespin, they will sail in the opposite direction along the Corellian Channel If you do this, you can cross the neutral area and enter the planet Mustafar. Afterwards, if you take the Hydia trade route from the planet Mustafar, you can bypass the 18th Army defense line of Governor Wilhof Tarkin and directly enter the Separatist area of ​​control!"

He constantly manipulated the computer and issued simulation instructions. The computer simulated thousands of action routes, and finally listed the most likely ones. Colonel Lott looked at the complicated hyperspace routes on the star map and said: "If it is the most threatening If necessary, they can pass through the branch line of the Kessel hyperspace channel from here, threatening the planet Naboo and the planet Ennako. If we cannot block the hyperspace channel through blockers here, the separatist fleet will You can break through the blockade and enter the Christopher Sis planet from another direction!"

"But it's unlikely, right? A raid that spanned almost half of the galaxy?" An intelligence officer was a little puzzled.

"There is definitely a possibility." Colonel Lott mused, "Now the battle on Christopher Sis has reached a fever pitch, and the Separatist main fleet in that direction is intercepting our reinforcements in the Fallin galaxy. And their closest battle zone , was also held back by Governor Tarkin of the 18th Army, and reinforcements from other directions would not be able to arrive because the Hutts closed the border of the Hutt space... Then if the fleet of the planet Bespin can raid the planet Christopher Sis If it is not, it will become an amazing army! There is no doubt about it!"

Another intelligence agent came over and said: "The source of the intelligence has been confirmed, it is from the Republic Intelligence Headquarters in Coruscant."

"What about the credibility rating?"

"There is no marked level, but this is the pronunciation method learned from the mouth of a construction worker on the Dawn Star. It seems to be a unique pronunciation form in their native land. Several syllables are blended together for fuzzy pronunciation, so we were unable to compare them before. right."

Colonel Lott's expression turned ugly. If the information marked was very credible, he might have doubts, but now, he kicked the ball directly to himself.

According to conventional calculations, a fleet needs to prepare and set off, counting the time for loading supplies, soldiers, equipment, etc., at most no more than three days, that is to say, even if he now understands the movement of this separatist fleet, they will Only two days to prepare.

And... If the Bespin fleet is allowed to slip away and their 19th Army does nothing, then this is also a serious dereliction of duty.

As an intelligence officer, he must make a decision and then feed the decision back to the Governor of Suramar.

"What is the current number of Separatist fleets near the planet Bespin?" Colonel Lott asked.

"The number of the separatist fleet near the planet Bespin is A Fleet. According to the intelligence, the commander is Admiral Matt Horner. According to the information brought by our intelligence agents last time, they currently have the Cole-class battlecruiser 45 There are 10 Sowa-class aircraft carriers, 6 Higera-class battlecruisers, and there should be many small auxiliary battleships, but the number of these cannot be counted." An intelligence officer said: "In the past month or so, Our hyperspace detection station did not detect too many large warship transfers, the total number was only 12, so this number should be relatively close."

Colonel Lott nodded, "Now we know that Dawn Star has two admirals. Matt Horner showed a very calm command style in the previous Battle of Bespin, while Severance Tann is She led an army to raid the planet Sarabin in the core area, causing power outages on many planets in the core area. Her command style is cunning and changeable, and she is full of aggressiveness. At present, the number of her B fleet is between the planet Noah-ha-ang and our The defense line of Cal Planet is facing off..."

He clicked a few times on the star map, "I think the main purpose of Planet Dawn's deployment of Fleet A on Bespin is to keep the right to use the Corellian trade channel, the main hyperspace channel, so as to facilitate the mobilization of large Large-scale fleet. It can be seen from the fact that the commander here is Matt Horner, their deployment is based on safety. Previous intelligence also shows that they are building a very large-scale armed space station on the planet Bespin... So I I believe that their move is indeed freeing up the fleet here to launch an attack on the premise of ensuring the safety of Planet Bespin!"

"That is to say, we can confirm that the attack direction of the Separatist fleet is the planet Christopher Sis?" an intelligence officer asked.

"It's not certainty, it's choice and judgment. Report this news to Governor Suramar. Inform us of the inside line hidden on the planet Bespin. We must do our best to determine the purpose of the separatism!" Lott said.

...

At this time, in the capital of the 19th Army on Planet Havin, Governor Suramar was looking at the holographic projection with a livid face. Inside, an old woman in a fine dress was speaking worriedly, "...now The political trend of Coruscant is a bit subtle. After the series of failures of the Republic, a scapegoat must be launched to take responsibility... In yesterday's meeting, Speaker Palpatine clearly stated that he would support the Jedi Order position."

She sighed, and then said: "So now some people in the parliament are starting to blow the wind, mainly for the failure of the previous Battle of Bespin and the failure of the Battle of Geonosis... The Battle of Geonosis was attributed by Speaker Palpatine The sudden action of the separatists made it too late for us to deploy, so that the failure of the Battle of Bespin as a counterattack that received widespread attention on Coruscant was very conspicuous..."

boom! The cane in Suramar's hand hit the ground with a muffled sound, "Bastard! Why are you staring at me all the time! Didn't Byluir, the governor of the 13th Army, lose his troops on the planet Fallin?!"

"Governor Bairuel is still worrying about the war on the planet Christopher Sis, and the 17th Army is also reinforcing in this direction. At this time, it is naturally impossible to move him." The old woman said.

"Where did this news come from?" Suramar asked in a deep voice.

"This kind of thing can't be traced to the root, but as far as I know, at least a dozen congressmen have talked about it in private... The main reason is that Speaker Palpatine decided to launch a counterattack again, you know, boast The special power shipyard has been fully activated, and we have added nearly 100 battlecruisers to our mobile fleet. But before the counterattack begins, I think it is very possible to liquidate previous failures to boost morale."

The communication sounded, and Suramar looked at the information displayed on it, and his face became more and more gloomy.
