1227. Fatal misjudgment
After Rush-Clovis turned off the communication, Longo thought for a while and said, "I always feel that something is not quite right..."
"According to our previous intelligence, how many Separatists warships are stationed at Makito?" Fan Ke also frowned in thought and asked.
"There are more than 50 thousand-meter-level battleships and more than 100 small and medium-sized warships." Longo said the result directly, "Then based on our outpost observations, we went to Makito one after another. There are more than 130 Geth warships in, but many of them are small and medium-sized warships. If we add in the trends that we can observe, maybe Geth warshipss can exceed 200..."
"With a fleet of this size, there should be a fierce battle between Separatists and Geth... Moreover, Geth is indeed constantly adding troops to Makito." Fan Ke said, "Geth warships is very powerful in combat, at least two to three times stronger than Republic warship of the same size... With such a power comparison, it can even be considered difficult for the defenders of Makito to cope."
Longo also touched his chin and said, "It is difficult to cope with it, but it does not mean that it is impossible to cope with it. So Makito wants to send that thing out while they still have the strength to fight? But they don't have enough troops, so they can only send out the notice. They know that as long as the emergency evacuation agreement is issued, then we will definitely respond."
"That's right. As long as the emergency evacuation agreement is issued, we will definitely respond." Fan Ke said, "What Rush-Clovis just said is right, The thing InterGalactic Banking Clan sent, whether it is a database or a bill or something else, is definitely more valuable than our fleet. So, Makito also took advantage of this and wanted to fish in troubled waters!"
Longo suddenly said, "You said... if the fleets of Geth and Makito did not fight... would it be..."
Then he laughed at his own thoughts, "Okay, I admit it was just a joke."
"If I hadn't known you for many years and you just said that, I could have dismissed you directly for avoiding war." Fan Ke also smiled, "Now between Geth and Makito, it's just a question of who has suffered greater losses."
"I'll let the fleet go to war right now." Longo knocked the empty spice pipe on the table, "Makito wants to fish in troubled waters and wants to distract us Geth's attention, so I can send the things away? Haha, then I will do the opposite and just use the tractor beam to capture their transport ship and let them continue to fight Geth!"
"Try to lose as few warships as possible. After all, we still have a lot to do next." Fan Ke warned.
Longo nodded, "It doesn't matter, buddy, I am from the bounty Hunter. Taking advantage of others? Fishing in troubled waters? Haha, I am much better at it than the aristocratic boys like Rush-Clovis who grew up like Core Worlds!"
The discussion was finalized and Longo started preparations immediately.
They have never thought of the possibility that Geth and Makito might be the same group.
After all, from the time Geth appeared until now, they have only brought killing and plunder. In all the planets they targeted, the people were slaughtered, the resources were robbed, and the factories were moved. Whether it was the planet of Separatists or the planet of Galactic Republic, they had all been poisoned by Geth.
What Geth shows is completely hostile to organic life. And it is true that no one would think that a Mechanical Lifeforms race would have a friendly attitude towards organic life forms.
Although many more Galactic Republic planets were attacked during this process, it was also because in Northern Territory, except for the core planets Muunilinst and Makito, most of the area was still under the control of Galactic Republic.
No one would suspect otherwise.
Under such a premise, when Geth goes to Makito on a large scale, and the number is still increasing, then apart from the fierce battle between the two sides there, there will definitely be no second result!
As for Geth and Makito being in the same group? Such a thing is simply impossible!
Just as Fan Ke said, if Longo really said this, he would only regard it as an excuse to avoid fighting.
But what they don't know is...
Longo's casual joke just now is exactly the truth!!
And what they didn't know was that they were very close to this fact, with only a few seconds difference!
Because in the barracks area of Caladan Planet, Master Sass-Ting has already told this matter! But at the last moment, he saw Makito's distress signal and saw Geth wreaking havoc on Makito.
This news made Master Sass-Ting a little suspicious. During these few seconds of hesitation, General Dilar, who had been knocked unconscious by him, pounced on him and interrupted his communication.
Let this most critical information not be sent out in the end!
But in the final analysis, this is also the bitter fruit planted by Fan Ke and Longo themselves!
If they didn't turn a deaf ear to Geth's invasion, but instead wanted to help Sheev-Palpatine and Rush-Clovis plot against the InterGalactic Banking Clan...
If they didn't have sinister intentions and wanted to lure Geth to Makito...
If they didn't have a guilty conscience and were worried about Master Sass-Ting's opposition, but didn't tell Sass-Ting about the plan, and ended up waiting for him to leave before taking action on their own, leaving Jedi Master ignorant of it...
Then Master Sass-Ting will not be disturbed by the information that Makito was invaded by Geth at the last moment. Then the information that Geth and Separatists are allies can naturally be sent out.
The time difference of these few seconds actually means countless causes and effects.
Whether Geth is an ally of Separatists, this sentence of information may mean two completely different strategic directions and response methods!
Based on a completely wrong judgment, Fan Ke and Longo made an order to send themselves to hell - Eighth Army's main fleet immediately dispatched to Makito!
If judged normally, what they encountered at Makito should be Geth fleet and Separatist fleet who were fighting fiercely. Then fishing in troubled waters could not only preserve their own strength, but also think of ways to snatch away things that were enough for Makito to issue an emergency evacuation agreement.
But the current situation... is completely opposite to what they thought!
When the 60 Hunter Class Battlecruiser main fleets of the Galaxy Eighth Army of the Republic departed from the battleship docking port on the planet Ord-Mantel and entered the hyperspace channel...
They also plunged into the trap set by Geth and Tang Xiao!
