The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2396. Battle of Birbrin Planet (Part 1)

For the next three days, Vice Admiral Thrawn locked himself in his room again, immersing himself in the music, art, and culture of the Neimoidians.

He carefully read the history of the Trade Alliance from its birth to its growth to its decline, and studied the historical laws behind it.

As for Admiral Mar-Tuk, he also conducted a very in-depth analysis of him based on the intelligence in his hands. Not only through his deeds, but also through the command style shown in the various battles he participated in, he also gained a deep understanding.

At this moment, Admiral Mar-Tuk has begun to lead the commercial combined fleet to attack the asteroid belt outside the planet Birbrin.

The Bilbulin planet can be regarded as a fortress planet in another sense. This planet is located in a very large and very dense asteroid belt. This asteroid belt not only makes the environment around the planet extremely complex, but also makes the navigation conditions of hyperspace channels very difficult.

Basically, there are only a few waterways that can be easily navigated. Other waterways either fluctuate greatly, resulting in a very small number of warships that can pass, or the routes are unstable and cannot be continuously navigated.

Among the surrounding asteroid belts, at least 4,000 asteroids are equipped with powerful heavy-duty orbital defense cannons. These asteroids are of a certain size. In addition to orbital defense cannons, they can also have independent energy supply plants, micro planetary shields, and a large number of anti-aircraft artillery and point defense systems.

It can be said that each of these asteroids is a fortress with extremely strong firepower!

Under the protection of 4,000 fortresses, the Bilbulin planet is naturally as secure as a rock. In the past few years when Geth was raging everywhere, there was no force that could threaten this place.

After Admiral Mal-Took defeated the fleet led by Kendall Ozil, he relied on his strength and began to attack the armed asteroids around the planet Birbrin.

In a few days, more than 70 asteroids have been destroyed, and the commercial combined fleet is opening a way out. If this rate is maintained, it will take at most two to three months for Admiral Mar-Tuk's fleet to launch an attack on the Bilbulin planet itself.

Previously, Lieutenant General Kendall Ozil was unable to bear the constant harassment of Admiral Mal Took, so he led the fleet to take the initiative and was defeated.

So now, without Vice Admiral Thrawn's order, the Imperial fleet still gathered around the planet did not dare to act rashly. They could only watch helplessly as armed asteroids were destroyed one after another, and the defense system of the planet Billbrin was collapsing.

But Lieutenant General Thrawn didn't say anything. He just continued to shut himself in the room, listening to music, tasting wine, and reading.

This filled all ranks of officers on his flagship, the Chimera, with anxiety.

So when Lieutenant General Thrawn finally opened the door and walked out, he was immediately surrounded by officers. Not only that, because there were Jedi warriors in the northern theater, Mal Sikander, the senior magistrate of the Tribunal who came directly to the imperial fleet as a supervisor, also stood at the door with a gloomy face.

What’s interesting is that this guy has the same name as the commander of the Commercial Combined Fleet, Mal Took.

"General! What should we do now? Should we divide our forces to defend or concentrate our forces and charge again?" Voss Parker asked eagerly when he saw Thrawn coming out.

But before Vos Parker could finish speaking, he was pushed aside by Mal Sikander who was standing behind him. The senior magistrate stared at Thrawn and said coldly: "Vice Admiral Thrawn, the reason why the Empire is willing to give you, a Chiss, wine, food, and music so that you can fulfill your duties and defeat the Separatism. And you delayed the fight, delayed the time, and hid in there drinking and listening to music. Should you give me an explanation? "

Thrawn glanced at Mal Sikander and said calmly: "Abandon the planet Bilbrin and we retreat."

Mar-Sikander's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and his tone of voice began to become dangerous, "You mean, you want to retreat? General Thrawn. Give up the solid fortress planet, open up the fragile core circle of the empire, and then escape? "

"Since we can't defeat the Separatist fleet, retreating shouldn't be a very strange decision." Lieutenant General Thrawn still looked calm and relaxed.

Mar-Sikander had already taken off the lightsaber from his waist and held it in his hand. His expression turned ferocious. He licked his lips and said, "In other words, you are afraid of the enemy and escape from the battlefield, and then you have to carefully destroy the empire." Is the business line of defense surrendered? If that’s the case, then I’m afraid we need to change our conversation.”

Thrawn remained unmoved. He said: "This is a judgment I made as Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy and Commander of the Birbrin Planetary Defense Fleet. If you do not agree with my judgment, then please remove me from my position." , find someone with a battle plan that satisfies you."

"What you have to do is not to satisfy me. It is to give an explanation to His Majesty the Emperor." Mar-Sikander said, "Then, you are arrested, Lieutenant General Thrawn."

"Please wait a moment, Lord Magistrate!" Voss Parker stood up and stood in front of Thrawn and said: "The appointment of Lieutenant General Thrawn should be decided by Governor Dunn Wessex!"

"Thawn escaped from the battlefield, so this matter should be taken over by the Inquisition!" Mal Sikander said sternly.

"But the problem is, it's not up to you to determine whether it means running away from the battlefield or not." Thrawn finally began to tit for tat.

Mal Sikander's face was uncertain. He thought for a while, and finally snorted coldly, took out his communicator and connected to Dunn Wessex's frequency band.

However, in the face of Mal Sikander's embarrassment in return, Dunn Wessex quickly made a decision, "Vice Admiral Thrawn's decision to retreat was based on the command of his Birbrin Planet Defense Fleet." Magistrate Sikander... this matter should not be decided by the magistrate."

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Thrawn. It wasn't until Thrawn nodded slightly that he slammed the table and said sternly: "If your tribunal feels that you should be the one to command this battle, then you should let him Black Hole, go and apply to His Majesty the Emperor! Then you will bear the consequences of the battle!"

In the previous battle on Fangduo Planet, Black Hole chose to help his mortal enemy Wilhuff Tarkin, which politically determined that Dunn Wessex would never have a good look at the Tribunal. Not to mention that the tribunal had also forcibly taken away General Gilad Pellaeon, causing him to lose a general.

What's more, Vice Admiral Thrawn is the general who has actually defeated the Kingdom of Dawn fleet. What choice should he make at this time? The reason why Dunn Wessex can climb to such a high position is that he will naturally not be wrong in making such a judgment. (End of chapter)
