The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1608. Gears of War (Part 2)

Among the not-so-rich army equipment in the Galactic Republic, except for the high-quality and cheap AV-7 self-propelled artillery, which can be seen everywhere, heavy combat units such as the AT-TE tactical assault walker are basically concentrated on the frontline planets that need to launch an attack, and they usually don’t carry them around at all.

Not to mention the SPHA-T heavy self-propelled artillery! Even in the army of the Republic, this kind of powerful weapon, which is not much in number, is as powerful as a battleship. It is more than 100 meters long and can be called a land giant. No matter where it appears, it will definitely be accompanied by a large-scale clone army!

In fact, now that the war has broken out for more than two years, clone soldiers are not particularly common on the battlefield. Previously, the Kamino clones were mainly known for their few but refined styles. They generally only appeared on the offensive battlefield and did not undertake too many defensive tasks.

Moreover, the number of Kamino clone soldiers did not exceed ten million at its peak. This number is indeed too small for the entire galaxy.

Therefore, most of the soldiers who appeared on the battlefield were ordinary soldiers. For example, in the early days of the war when the Confederacy of Independent Systems was the most aggressive, in fact, it was the ordinary defense forces of those planets that often faced the torrent of steel from the B-1 battle robots.

Therefore, once the clone army appears, it often means that the eyes of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic have already looked directly over.

But the Republic transport fleet looted by Mira-Han reveals something else... First of all, the appearance of AT-TE and SPHA-T means that the Galactic Republic has a large-scale clone army nearby, so it is very likely that it is preparing to launch an attack here—of course it cannot be the planet Tatooine, and there is a high probability that it is the planet Christofsis.

But the problem is that this transport fleet is leaving from this direction!

So what does that mean?

They are evacuating? Isn't this the fight that hasn't started yet?

The Dawn Principality's military intelligence department headed by Mrs. M was puzzled, so they could only send a large number of reconnaissance planes to the planet Christophsis in order to obtain more clues.

On July 13, in an uninhabited galaxy near the Yago-Dur galaxy, a patrol formation of the Principality of Dawn encountered a formation of reconnaissance aircraft of the Galactic Republic. Two of these reconnaissance planes were shot down under the pursuit of the Mang-class light frigate, and the wreckage was sent back to the Yago-Dur galaxy for analysis and research.

After analysis, it was found that these reconnaissance planes were here to detect hyperspace fluctuations and wanted to intercept hyperspace communication signals.

In the afternoon of that day, the reconnaissance plane sent to the planet Christofsis and the surrounding hyperspace outposts detected a large number of fluctuations in hyperspace navigation. After analysis, these fluctuations were fluctuations of a large number of warships entering hyperspace. So this shows that a large number of spaceships left this direction in a short period of time.

The Military Intelligence Department of the Duchy of Dawn analyzed their recent actions in the Yago-Dur galaxy, and believed that the Galactic Republic adjusted their attack direction from the Christophsis planet to the Yago-Dure galaxy.

This also sounded the alarm for Mrs. M. Because this information shows that the Military Intelligence Department had a major misjudgment before-they simply believed that the Republic's next attack direction was the 20th Army in the Yago-Dur galaxy or the 17th Army in the Eliadu galaxy.

It turns out, however, that the Galactic Republic has quietly deployed a formidable force around the planet Christophsis.

If General Ling's plan had not been successful and he had taken the initiative to expose the location of the dock of the Ankron class titan warship, then when the Galactic Republic began to attack the planet Christofsis, they would be unprepared!

Fortunately, the Galactic Republic has clearly made a choice now, and they are no longer hiding it. They directly transferred the army away from the vicinity of the Christophsis planet, and almost certainly added it to the 20th Army to prepare to attack the Yago-Dur galaxy and destroy the Titan Dockyard of the Duchy of Dawn.

It is because of this that the outpost on the planet Christofsis detected a large number of hyperspace fluctuations.

This also definitely shows that near this star field, the Galactic Republic must have mastered a secret hyperspace channel that is not known to the public. In order to remedy this, Mrs. M continued to send additional reconnaissance planes to carry out investigations, trying to find clues of these secret waterways.

On July 14, the Supreme Military Command of the Duchy of Dawn held a meeting to discuss who would command the battle in the Yago-Dur galaxy.

Qi Jian and others thought that this candidate should be Ling Liang. After all, she was the one who proposed the plan to attract the attention of the Galactic Republic to the Yago-Dur galaxy through the Titan Dockyard, and Ling Liang's series of performances in the Eliadu galaxy proved that she is growing into the top military commander in this galaxy.

But Tang Xiao rejected the proposal.

He pointed out that Lingliang is also indispensable to the Eriadu galaxy. She has commanded the Titan battleship Xuanwu for a long time, and she is naturally more familiar with the performance of Xuanwu, and she is also capable of formulating combat plans based on this.

Tang Xiao pointed out that the possibility of the Galactic Republic's three fronts attacking at the same time must not be ruled out. What if they are anxious and continue to deploy warships from other fronts to really attack the Eliadu galaxy?

Therefore, the Titan battleship Xuanwu and Lingliang must not move, and only when she is still in the Eliadu galaxy can she safely dispatch some fleets to reinforce the Model sector.

But in this way, who will command the defense of the Yago-Dur galaxy has become a big problem.

The previous Yago-Dur galaxy was commanded by Major General Lin Nanyi. He was a young general whom Severance Tann was quite optimistic about. Later, he also studied further as Ling Liang's adjutant. It can be said that he is the representative of the younger generation of generals who grew up in the Principality of Liming.

But after all, Lin Nanyi was still too young to be competent for such a large-scale battle.

General Severance Tann has now gone to the Alliance of Neutrals and accepted the rank of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, which is considered to be flying solo for the time being. And she herself doesn't like purely defensive combat. Although she is good at attacking from the back, if she really wants to defend, it is also a powerful existence that everyone can't match.

In addition, there is Admiral Trench, who is currently serving in the Confederacy of Independent Galaxies. In fact, his role is also very important. After all, in the original plot, Admiral Trench is one of the few well-known generals among the large group of riches and riches on the Confederacy of Independent Galaxy.

After Tang Xiao subdued Trench, he sent him to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, hoping that Earl Dooku would not lose too quickly.

So now, he needs to find someone who is capable enough to command the Yago-Dur galaxy campaign.
