1605. Point your sword at the opponent
The determination of Sheev-Palpatine also went against all judgments of Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command.
In Supreme Strategic Command's view, Duchy of Dawn has no strategic offensive capabilities. It is simply impossible to build an industrial the Empire that is comparable to Republic Core Worlds and Inner Rim relying on the remote areas of Southwest Territory.
Therefore, for Duchy of Dawn, it is only necessary to block Rendili system so that they cannot turn the industrial production capacity of Rendili StarDrive into their own. And in fact, Galactic Republic did block Rendili Trade Route. This channel was blocked, making it difficult for Rendili Planet to navigate a large fleet.
Therefore, Rendili Planet's current plan to relocate some interstellar shipyards is progressing very slowly. At present, they mainly import large amounts of food, medicine and supplies to maintain the needs of the huge population on the planet, and then actively mine minerals in some surrounding unmanned systems and send them back to the planet to build warships.
As Adele-Ulan said just now, Rendili Planet has added 150 Victory-class Star Destroyer ships in less than two months. Because of this, even if Rendili Planet is right under his nose, Galactic Republic dare not take action here for the time being. After all, on this planet, Master Yoda returned home with serious injuries, and Ploo-Master Kong died heroically. To say that Republic military was not afraid of this would be a lie.
But the fleet of Rendili can only stay at Rendili Planet and cannot get out.
Some small or seasonal hyperspace channels around Rendili Planet are used to relocate the population.
Therefore, under such circumstances, taking the initiative to attack Duchy of Dawn is actually a waste of time. In Supreme Strategic Command's calculations, Duchy of Dawn's industrial production capacity is only one-tenth of Confederacy of Independent Systems's without Rendili StarDrive. Maybe their warships are very advanced and elite, but at present, it is difficult to achieve scale after all.
What's more, Confederacy of Independent Systems has also begun to equip warships with technology provided by Duchy of Dawn, which shows that the information between the two parties is exchanged.
Under such circumstances, it is really stupid to take the initiative to attack Duchy of Dawn, which has very strong defense power but has no offensive capabilities, but abandon Confederacy of Independent Systems, which has higher industrial production capacity and may soon have active offensive capabilities.
Of course, Supreme Strategic Command would not dare to say that unless they feel they have had enough.
Sheev-Palpatine directly used his emergency decision-making power to force the plan to attack Modell Sector, and asked Supreme Strategic Command to start preparations immediately.
Supreme Strategic Command was in trouble and couldn't tell. They could only tell Palpatine very tactfully that even if this action could be carried out, it would be a very dangerous action. But Palpatine is determined to have his own way and must execute it.
However, when Governor of the Ninth Army Dunn-Vesex came to him and said that Kuat Drive Yards also wanted to join the plan, he readily agreed. This is actually a compromise between Palpatine and the military. In this way, Kuat Drive Yards will bear most of the pressure for this surprise attack on Modell Sector, and the pressure on the military will be much smaller.
Therefore, the military can finally breathe a sigh of relief. On the one hand, it provides support to Wilhuff-Governor Tarkin, giving him the strength to go north to fight against Geth. On the other hand, Saleucami system is also further increasing its troops, striving to capture this Confederacy of Independent Systems portal.
But it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all. Although the warships of the Modell Sector raid plan were prepared by Kuat Drive Yards, normally these warships will be sent to other fronts as reinforcements. Not to mention there are a large number of Spaarti clone troopers, supporting equipment, junior officers, and the most precious fighter pilots.
And Das-Sidious set his sights on Duchy of Dawn. At the same time, Das-Malthael also set his sights on Sidious.
The two were countless light years apart, but they looked at each other, sparking countless sparks.
At that moment, they all unanimously fought against all opinions in their respective spheres of influence, with only one purpose——
Point your sword at the opponent!
Kill them quickly!
Kuat Drive Yards and Modell Sector are the first sharp blades they thrust out!
20BBY, July 9, Southwest Territory, Inner Rim, Kiffar Planet (Kiffu).
This is a planet that orbits Kiffex (Kiffex). The two planets share a common orbit and revolve around each other at the same time. It is a wonderful sight.
Kiffar Planet is the hometown of Kiffar (Kiffar). When the two planets are close to each other, very terrible thunderstorms will occur in the atmosphere. Kiffar uses thunderstorms as energy to establish its own developed industrial system.
When the galactic civil war broke out, Kiffar Planet joined Confederacy of Independent Systems under the lobbying of Count Dooku, and when Galactic Republic attacked the Yago-Dur system, Kiffar Planet also continued to provide support.
Now, in the outer orbit of Kiffar Planet, dozens of warships have been deployed along the planet's equator, completely blocking the planet.
These warships all have red and white stripes and have gear-shaped logos - all of them are Galactic Republic warships!
And further away in the outer orbit of the planet, a large number of wreckage of battleships have been captured by the planet's gravity and are slowly flying around the planet. On these wreckage, you can still see the blue and white paint and the hexagonal logo - Confederacy of Independent Systems logo.
There is no doubt that this planet has been captured by Galactic Republic!
Kiffar The Prime Minister was dragged out of the executive government by a team of Clone Trooper, handcuffed, and dejectedly escorted away on a spaceship.
In the capital city, there are Galactic Republic natural soldiers patrolling with guns everywhere. The condition of these soldiers looks completely different from those when they were just recruited. They have uniform steps and sharp eyes, as if they have been trained for a long time and are already qualified soldiers.
Moreover, these soldiers are numerous in number. Although they are not equipped with polymer alloy armor, they are still equipped with a basic global communication system and basic tactical eyepieces.
In the sky, a large number of LAAT assault patrol craft are hovering around, cooperating with the ground troops to extinguish the scattered flames of resistance.
And the three huge figures of Acclamator-class assault ship are moving in the atmosphere. They seem to be slow, but in fact they can reach speeds of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour. These Acclamator-class are filled with more soldiers, and they will go to other important cities on the planet to conduct landing operations to ensure the suppression of the entire planet.
However, at this moment, in a hidden corner on the outskirts of the city, a spaceship suddenly took off, and there were several Vulture droid fighter escorts around it!
"Quick! Stop that spaceship!" Republic commander pointed at the sky and shouted.
You must know that Kiffar Planet's air power has been destroyed long ago, but there are still fighter jets taking off now? Then what these fighter jets are guarding must be no small matter!
More than a dozen V-19 Torrent light fighters immediately took off and rushed towards the spacecraft.
The spacecraft didn't care at all and fled. Vulture droid fighter also opened fire fiercely at the intercepting Galactic Republic fighter jet! Want to sacrifice yourself to create a chance for the spacecraft to escape!
