1594. Total War
"Send troops to Kotaris? Why?" Lieutenant General Henderson still did not understand the seriousness of the problem, "Faida Planet The only navigable hyperspace channel is through Kotaris Planet, and then through Agamar Planet can only reach the capital planet Palin-Minor of the Ninth Army. As long as we hold Geth fleet at Faida Planet, they will not pose any threat to our rear."
Gillard-Perine said seriously, "As I just said, Geth is likely to have mastered the method of faster-than-light navigation that we don't know about! So facing such an enemy, the first lesson we need to learn is that their range of action will no longer be restricted by hyperspace channels! They can start from anywhere and appear anywhere!"
"What did you say?" Henderson was shocked.
It's not his fault, everyone in the galaxy will not immediately turn around this twist and turn. Just like when we talk about cars, we know that they run on roads, and when we talk about trains, we know that they run on tracks. But one day someone suddenly said that trains do not need tracks and can go cross-country. Then our first reaction is that we cannot understand how such a train will move and where it will appear.
"From now on, every planet of ours is a battlefield and a front line! We have no rear in the absolute sense! Until we have the ability to figure out the principle and scope of Geth's super-light speed navigation!" Gillard-Perine said.
"In other words, even our supply transportation must be escorted by heavy troops." Wullf-Yularen said seriously. He turned to Henderson and said, "Without further delay, we need to get in touch with those transport ships immediately and send them to a safe place!... No, no place is safe. Our fleet is the last safe haven."
He then opened the communication and gave a few instructions to another Commander, asking him to immediately lead a fleet to Kotaris Planet to protect the army's supplies and heavy vehicle units.
Gillard-Perine added, "Then we need to start landing as soon as possible. We have brought 300,000 Clone Army, and they must all land within two days! General Henderson, you are more familiar with the situation here and need your cooperation. These 300,000 troops need a station and a landing site."
"300,000 Clone Army?" Lieutenant General Henderson was surprised again, "As far as I know, Galactic Republic has never invested so much Clone Army in any battle at once!"
"That's because this time, our enemy is different." Gillard-Perine said, "How many ground troops does Geth have now?"
"There were about 6 million to 8 million Corpse Puppet and Geth. We can only estimate the strength to be about 100,000. But then, Geth sent a large number of transport ships and successfully landed. Now I can't estimate how many Geth are on Faida Planet." Henderson said.
"We need to mobilize every person on the planet, every factory, every gram of food, and every piece of metal!" Gillard-Perine said, "Issue a general mobilization order on the planet, implement military control, and require all adult males over 18 years old and under 50 years old to enlist in the army. People of other races will set age requirements according to corresponding standards. All factories will be nationalized and unified planning and output will be carried out!"
"Are you going to send civilians to the battlefield? And you also want to rob privately owned factories? That's ridiculous! Before Geth comes, the planet will fall into riots!" Lieutenant General Henderson also cannot understand such a war model.
"No, we have to be like this." Wullf-Admiral Yularen could understand, he said, "Just like when we faced Eternal Empire 3,600 years ago, and when we faced Sith Empire 1,000 years ago, the war with Geth is... a total war that risks the survival of our civilization and race."
Lieutenant General Henderson's face turned a little pale, and he nodded slowly.
One day later, Faida Planet capital, Chynesti City.
[All young and middle-aged residents, please go to the nearest street to register immediately! Distribute weapons and conduct training!] A spaceship is flying in the sky. A large holographic projection device is installed below the spacecraft. The terrifying picture of Corpse Puppet and the majestic Galactic Republic soldier are repeatedly played on it.
[Geth's invasion has left us with no way to retreat! We have no retreat, no surrender, no mercy! If it fails, then everyone will be made into Corpse Puppet, a walking zombie!]
[It is impossible to evacuate an entire planet. The only thing we can do is resist! Resist resolutely! Galactic Republic has sent millions of troops to come for reinforcements, but this is still not enough! We need everyone's support! We need every pair of firm hands to shoot the scorching blaster beam at the brutal Geth!]
In every street and every area, Galactic Republic began to set up registration points, enrolling all people of appropriate age into the reserve force, and conducting simple training so that they could go on the battlefield.
There was a long queue in front of the registration point, and every resident in the queue had a look of horror and confusion on their face. For them, war has never been closer.
[Every male of school age is obliged to join the army and fight for our survival! Anyone who refuses to join the army will be arrested for anti-civilization crimes and will also be sent to the most dangerous front line! ] There are spaceships flying at low altitudes everywhere, using high-power loudspeakers and holographic projections to publicize military recruitment orders.
Either motivation or coercion.
According to Gillard-Perine's plan, he used all 250,000 of the 300,000 Clone Trooper for recruiting troops in the rear, and only 50,000 soldiers joined Lieutenant General Henderson's 40,000 or so troops to continue to build frontline positions.
As the recruitment process began, a large number of conscripted militiamen began to come to the front line, and they began to help take on the task of building bunkers and positions.
Over an inconspicuous building, a LAAT/I assault transport boat flew quickly. Several Clone Trooper stepped out of the transport boat, and they broke through the door directly.
Inside, I saw dozens of mercenaries getting drunk. There were empty wine bottles everywhere, and a few women who were played to the point of dying.
Clone Commander stepped forward and said, "You have been recruited. Please follow us immediately to the nearest station for reorganization."
At this time, a fierce and sturdy man stood up and said ferociously, "Do you know who we are?! We are Firesteel Mercenary Group! We..."
Bang! His head exploded instantly!
Clone Commander turned Blaster pistol in his hand and said coldly, "From now on, your numbers are Galactic Republic Faida Legion, Firesteel Combat Group. Return to the team immediately!"
