Governor of Modell Sector Volgograd-Kanidi possessed unrivaled prestige throughout the entire sector. In the eyes of many people in the Modell Sector, Kanidi had personally led them, clearing wilderness bit by bit, colonizing bit by bit, and then growing stronger bit by bit.
Moreover, throughout this process, the Fourth Civilization had actually provided very little support to the Modell Sector.
The Fourth Civilization had placed its entire strategic focus on the Eriadu system.

This showed that, in Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao's mind, Eriadu was actually even more important than Dawn Star Planet!
Because once Eriadu was gone, the Fourth Civilization would lose any possibility of contending for dominance over the Milky Way Galaxy.
It was like Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era. Once Jingzhou was lost, so too was their last hope of restoring the Han dynasty. If they could only dispatch troops from Yizhou, Cao Wei merely had to hold a few strategic passes to ensure that their rear remained as steady as Mount Tai, then slowly wear them down.

Its threat to the Republic had been less than that of Salust, which had already been trading blows with Eriadu at the time.
But now, once the Galactic
