1588. Another front

After Wilhuff-Tarkin closed the communication, Marceline Wessel looked at Gillard-Perine and said coldly, "I don't know how your fallacies convinced Tarkin, or do you think my place is too small to accommodate you?"

"Your Majesty the Governor, I am thinking very seriously about the Geth invasion. We must stop Geth at Faida Planet. For this reason, I will not hesitate to go to the front line personally." Gillard-Perine said sternly.

Governor Wessel stared at his eyes for a while, then sighed and said, "Okay, whatever you want. You also know that after the failure of Dorin Planet's battle, our Seventh Army's strength has been seriously compromised. We have no more resources to reinforce Ninth Army. And now, we are still worried about the refugees who fled from Dorin Planet... If you have any ideas, please tell Tarkin yourself."

"I will definitely block Geth from Faida Planet!" Gillard-Perine said firmly.

Governor Wessel's expression was a little strange, and he said, "Do you really think that Wilhuff-Tarkin agreed to your plan because of Geth?"

"Isn't this...?" Perine was stunned.

"You should consider another possibility." Marceline Wessel said, "Governor of the Ninth Army Dunn-Vesex, the political power behind him is not weaker than Wilhuff-Tarkin. And between him and Tarkin, who is The person Palpatine favors the most has not yet been determined. Therefore, Tarkin has the power to capture Onderon and destroy the Separatists Behemoth-class battlecruiser production line. If he wants to reach out to the Ninth Army, what better excuse is there than Geth?"

Only then did Gillard-Perine understand some of the inside stories of the political struggle behind it. It turned out that Wilhuff-Tarkin had agreed to his request so readily, and believed in his absurd theory, and there were also factors of political struggle!

Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped down his back.

"Take care of yourself!" Marceline Wessel said, "Don't let yourself become a tool in the hands of others that will be thrown away after use. Faida Planet, maybe in the eyes of Tarkin, it is not that important."

After speaking, he waved his hand and cut off the communication.

"Sir, ten billion air mines have been deployed around Annaj Planet." A colonel officer reported to Tang Xiao respectfully.

"Go tell Volgograd-Kanidi not to report this little thing to me again." Tang Xiao waved his hand, "What I am concerned about is, what is the specific direction of this hyperspace channel directly opened by Master Yoda? Why haven't the astronomers given me a reply yet?"

"Sir, I am not Research Department, and I dare not speak nonsense." the colonel officer said.

Tang Xiao waved his hand, and the officer quickly retreated.

He is currently in the capital of Annaj Planet, personally supervising the construction of the defense system here. Because in his judgment, Galactic Republic is likely to target Modell Sector again.

However, on this point, both General Staff Headquarters and Supreme Military Command put forward different opinions. And when it comes to Governor of Modell Sector Volgograd-Kanidi, he is also opposing the judgment of Tang Xiao.

The main reason is that the hyperspace channel opened by Master Yoda is gradually becoming chaotic as time goes by. According to astronomers' predictions, this channel will disappear in up to half a year, and before that, this channel will gradually become unnavigable.

Because this waterway was originally a very unstable seasonal waterway, it had almost no navigation value. But under the extremely powerful the Force of Master Yoda, the mass projections of some stars in hyperspace are forcibly isolated, so that the spacecraft will not be affected when passing through these mass projections.

As we all know, mass projection has no entity. If we want to make a metaphor, mass projection in hyperspace is like Blackhole in the three-dimensional universe. When the spacecraft is sailing in hyperspace, if it encounters a mass projection, it is likely to be directly torn apart by the chaotic gravity.

Master Yoda and the Force protect the spacecraft from being affected in this period of hyperspace.

Therefore, although it is theoretically possible to directly use the Force to open a hyperspace channel out of thin air, in reality this requires too much power. Even if Master Yoda is stabilizing and widening an already existing waterway, one of the prerequisites is that there are not so many mass projections on this waterway.

Otherwise, the power required may not even be possible for ten Master Yodas.

Therefore, because of this, everyone believes that Galactic Republic has no possibility of launching a large-scale attack on Modell Sector again. Instead of investing limited power into Modell Sector, it is better to further consolidate the defense power of Eriadu system and the Yago-Dur system.

After all, these two places are the most important strategic locations for Duchy of Dawn.

Because of this, Volgograd-Kanidi even had a fight with Tang Xiao. The argument was so fierce that Tang Xiao almost wanted to chop him into pieces.

Volgograd-Kanidi has never been a person who is afraid of authority. He just goes to war for his own beliefs. This is why in his experience before boarding the mothership, he became a fighting hero and an abandoned son at the same time. During the war with Ayrou at that time, Kanidi believed that Tang Xiao deliberately sacrificed some civilians to lure Ayrou to take action first in order to create a pretext for the war. This made him very dissatisfied at that time.

And now, he believes that Tang Xiao's rash defense focus on Modell Sector is a disguised form of distrust, an attempt to isolate him and then consolidate his own power in Modell Sector.

Kanidi told Tang Xiao directly that if you want to act like this, then Governor of Modell Sector I might as well quit and you can do it yourself.

If Tang Xiao hadn't gone to Planet Korriban for the second time, Death Force was successful, and Dark Side's impact on his emotions was also decreasing, then Kanidi's head might not have been saved at that time.

But Tang Xiao is still very rational now. After all, the governor Kanidi is doing a good job now, and his request to consolidate defense in Modell Sector, which is regarded as the rear area, is indeed ridiculous in the eyes of ordinary people. He himself knows this.

So after being angry and sending Kanidi flying into the wall with a slap, Tang Xiao twisted his collar and told him that he would personally handle Modell Sector's defense, and after that, these things will be given to you, so you can take good care of this rear area.

So after this unhappy breakup, Volgograd-Kanidi changed a way to communicate with Tang Xiao. He sent people to report every detail to Tang Xiao, as long as it was about military and defense matters.
