1609. Yago-Durr fuse
There has never been a good war or a bad peace. ——"The Rise of the Fourth Empire", written by Zhao Xiang. Imperial Calendar 378.
Tang Xiao stood in the office, with a holographic projection in front of him. A tall and muscular man, about 60 years old, wearing a majestic military uniform, with a thick beard and bright eyes.
Governor of Modell Sector, Volgograd-Kanidi.
"What? You finally made up your mind to retire me?" Kanidi said coldly without any pleasantries.
The corners of Tang Xiao's mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "Modell Sector, in the past, was a very remote star region in the Milky Way, with a backward economy, poor industry, and a sparse population. The only thing worthy of praise is that the resources here are rich, well... very rich. But to be honest, there are many resource-rich galaxies in the Milky Way. Among the interstellar mines opened in unmanned galaxies, which one does not have planet-level mining intensity?"
Volgograd-Kanidi did not speak, but looked at Tang Xiao coldly.
Tang Xiao continued, "Modell Sector In the past, the only access route was Annaj system. From there, you could go to Cerean system, and then you could enter the main route to other parts of the galaxy. And such a closed star system, now you have developed industry, a sufficient population, and a prosperous economy... In fact, once you cut off the external hyperspace channels, you can completely become a Shangri-La, and in terms of Modell Sector's single and remote transportation, it doesn't seem to be difficult to do."
Volgograd-Kanidi has also been exposed to the culture of Dawn Star Planet for a long time, and naturally understands what Shangri-La means. He snorted and said, "I gave the people of Modell Sector a Homeworld, and I also tried my best to make them live a better life. As the border of Duchy of Dawn, we are also exerting our own strength. Modell Sector has done everything we can!"
"With your intelligence, you should know why we have this conversation today. You should also know that this is the first time we have spoken on the phone in the past six months." Tang Xiao said.
"I have a clear conscience." Kanidi said in a deep voice.
"Intelligence Department and Internal Affairs Department don't believe you, nor do they believe Modell Sector." Tang Xiao said, "And you should know the reason."
Volgograd-Kanidi asked in return, "Are we, Duchy of Dawn and Galactic Republic, really going to have no choice but to fight to the death?"
Tang Xiao A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said nothing.
"I said, ten years ago." Kanidi added.
Tang Xiao The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
"You incited everyone with the enthusiasm for war and expansion, hiding the fact that this war actually has nothing to do with us." Kanidi said, "There is no need for us to be hostile to Galactic Republic, because we are originally part of Galactic Republic. Follow Galactic Republic's game rules, step by step Develop and grow... When the war breaks out, with the 19th Army and 18th Army acting as our barriers, Separatists will not be able to encroach on our territory! Then, with our industrial capabilities and gradually expanding our voice, within fifty years, Dawn Star Planet will become a prosperous place."
Tang Xiao sneered, "And it only took me ten years."
"No, you spent ten years and did better." Kanidi shook his head, "But this is another concept you confused - because no one asked you to do all this in ten years, except yourself. And we have no pressure to survive, except yourself. You told us that you saw Dawn Star Planet will become a battlefield, but does the war you saw really have anything to do with us?"
"It really has a lot to do with us." Tang Xiao's smile became inexplicably sinister.
"It was you who chose war." Kanidi said coldly.
"There are actually not a few people who know this, but you are the only one who dares to mention it in front of me." Tang Xiao said coldly, "Do you want an answer? Then let me tell you - the opportunity is in my hands, and I will naturally not leave it to my next generation."
He looked at the holographic projection of Kanidi and said slowly, "Now, can I still trust you with Modell Sector?"
"For your ambition?" Kanidi asked.
"Yes, for my ambition." Tang Xiao admitted it without any hesitation.
"If I refuse, I will die, maybe honorably, but that is not important. Then Modell Sector's administrative management will be purged, and the power structure will be reorganized into those who are loyal to you personally... Then Galactic Republic may really attack Modell Sector, and the war will still sweep through every place." Kanidi sighed, "The war ignited by you can no longer be extinguished..."
Tang Xiao said nothing, waiting for his reply.
Kanidi was silent for a long time and said, "If this is the case, the disaster suffered by Modell Sector will only be more serious. Officials from outside will not be trusted, and the battle will become a disaster... Now only I can guard this place... Let Matt-Hona leave."
Tang Xiao still didn't speak, still looking at him with a sinister expression.
Kanidi said slowly, "He Yuan will be relieved of all duties and return home to prepare for pregnancy... I accept the surveillance of her by the Internal Affairs Department agents. Jin Chen is important Military Commander cannot be replaced rashly, but I promise you that once he makes any changes, I will be the first to shoot him. Modell Sector is loyal to Duchy of Dawn's position and will not change."
"Oh... If this is the case, your status in the hearts of those people will plummet." Tang Xiao pretended to be a pity expression.
"Stop being hypocritical." Kanidi said coldly, "You have always known my position, but you never stopped Intelligence Department and Internal Affairs Department's actions. Who do you think I am?"
"It's not you that I don't trust, but the other people at Modell Sector." Tang Xiao said, "This time, it's just the beginning. Your real test is far from coming. The development of Duchy of Dawn cannot be separated from Modell Sector, and As the rear area of Duchy of Dawn, Modell Sector will only develop better and stronger due to its unique geographical location... At that time, how will you deal with yourself? You should know that the problems here can only be solved by you, because if it is left to me..."
He raised his hand and waved it gently, and Kanidi felt a twinge of pain on his neck!
"Modell Sector... there will be rivers of blood."
An hour later, a direct order came from the Grand Duke of Dawn government - Matt-Admiral Horner went to the Yago-Dur system to take charge of local defense.
Volgograd-Governor Kanidi continue to lead all military affairs of Modell Sector. The upcoming Battle of the Modell Sector will be commanded by Kanidi.
In the next few hours, dozens of senior officials with independent tendencies in Modell Sector were dismissed from their posts. At the same time, Internal Affairs Department dispatched an investigation team to the district and conducted an investigation into the administrative agencies of the district.
20BBY, July 16th.
The frontline outpost reported that a small formation of Galactic Republic appeared in the unmanned galaxy near the Yago-Dur system. These small combat formations began to clean up the Interdictor deployed by Duchy of Dawn in these galaxies and clear the shipping lanes.
July 17th.
The Duchy of Dawn reconnaissance plane reported that it discovered the space station built by Galactic Republic in an unmanned galaxy only 3.5 light-years away from the Yago-Dur galaxy. According to the investigation, this space station has a modular design, and each part is equipped with a hyperspace engine. It flies over like a spaceship and then starts to assemble it!
This is a total waste of money!
If it is based on such standards, I can't even imagine how many such forward bases Galactic Republic has built nearby!
In the afternoon of that day, the reinforcements from Eriadu system arrived in the Yago-Dur system. Now Eriadu system only leaves Xuanwu Titan warship and 10 other battleships, and all other warships that can be sent out have been sent out.
July 18th.
Gran dispatched their defense fleet from the home star Kinyen and arrived in the Yago-Dur system.
At the same time, the Galactic Republic small combat formation clashed with the patrol fleet sent by the Yago-Dur system. There was a melee between the two sides, and both sides lost some frigates. Galactic Republic lost one more Kallak-class light cruiser.
July 19th.
Matt-Hona dispatched a squadron to attack the Galactic Republic space station in the previously discovered unmanned galaxy. After arriving, it was found that 10 Hunter Class Battlecruiser had already been stationed in the unmanned galaxy. After a preliminary battle between the fighter formations of both sides, they returned without success.
July 20, Galactic Standard Time 9pm.
Contact was lost with the UY-19 outpost on the outskirts of the Yago-Dur system.
At 9:28, contact with the TR-26 outpost was lost.
At 9:40, the PB-112 outpost sounded an alarm, and contact was later lost.
At 10:30, Patrol Formation No. 56 sent an alarm, claiming to have encountered Republic fleet, and then lost contact!
At 10:51, contact with outpost TR-49 was lost.
At 10:55, Matt-Admiral Horner left the Yago-Dur planet and entered Starbase Alpha on the periphery of the planet, using it as their command center.
At 11:29, a Galactic Republic Aquitenes-class light cruiser left hyperspace and appeared inside the Yago-Durr galaxy!
At 11:48, the Aquitenes-class light cruiser was destroyed by a missile, but before it was destroyed, a large number of Hyperspace Beacon was released!
July 21, Galactic Standard Time 0:32 am...
30 warships left hyperspace and entered the Yago-Dur system, near the beacon released previously!
30 battleships, all colored Hunter Class Battlecruiser!
The second Yago-Dur system battle officially breaks out!
30 Hunter Class Battlecruisers launched a long-range bombardment in the direction of the Yago-Dur planet. Their goal was very clear. They did not pay attention to the two Agonev-class star bases and various other space ports and space stations around the planet, but directly bombarded the planet!
Although these shellings were all blocked by Planetary Shield and did not cause any damage, they also set a tone for this battle——
Do whatever it takes!
The 30 Hunter Class Battlecruiser ships did not continue to move forward. They just entered the defensive formation on the spot and only passively defended against the long-range attack of Duchy of Dawn fleet.
The two sides are separated by about 10 light minutes, which is also the maximum combat distance of Hunter Class Battlecruiser. From here, it can be seen that the current battlefield situation was actively chosen by Republic fleet.
At 1:14, the second batch of Republic fleet arrived. Including 10 Knight-class Star Destroyer and 5 large umbrella warships-shield ships.
This kind of shield ship was originally used to support a large-scale shield to protect engineering ships when carrying out engineering operations in some extreme environments, but now it has been brought to the battlefield by Galactic Republic!
After the five shield ships arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, they immediately propped up their shields and established a small safety zone of about 100 kilometers.
The 10 Knight-class Star Destroyers began to press forward, relying on their own super firepower that was 8 times that of Hunter Class to bomb Duchy of Dawn fleet from an ultra-long range!
However, at such a distance, the firepower of both sides has little accuracy. Even if they launch missiles, there is no possibility of success under the joint air defense system composed of dozens of warships.
At 1:41, a very strong signal appeared again in the hyperspace fluctuations.
Immediately afterwards, the huge 8,000-meter-long body of a Commander II-class Dreadnought appeared in the universe. At the same time, there were more than 100 small and medium-sized warships leaving hyperspace!
These warships include DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats (said to be gunboats but actually frigates, 120 meters long), Aquitenes-class light cruiser, Kallak-class light cruiser, CR-70 frigates, and more than 20 various logistics supply ships.
Logistics ships include maintenance ships, medical ships, supply ships, etc. These ships have begun to enter the protection range of the shield ship, providing the most basic and fastest maintenance for our own fleet.
Taking into account the advanced bases established in the surrounding unmanned galaxies, it is not difficult to judge that Republic fleet intends to fight a protracted war here!
On the bridge of the Commander II-class Dreadnought, a general in military uniform, meticulously dressed, with his hair neatly combed back, stood in the center.
He looks to be in his early 40s, but his military rank is Admiral of the Navy!
Gideon Tarkin, Admiral of the Galactic Republic. The reason why he was able to become an admiral at such an age and serve as the commander-in-chief of this huge fleet is indeed because he has a powerful brother - the current governor of the Fourth Army of the Republic, Wilhuff Tarkin!
That's right, for this attack on the Yago-Dur system, Gideon-Tarkin was transferred to the 20th Army and became the highest military officer under Governor Octavian-Grant. Commander has full authority to command the Yago-Dur system battle!
In fact, this is also a power compromise within Republic military - the two famous people under the Speaker Sheev-Palpatine are supported by Dunn-Vesex Cassio-Tagge, and Wilhuff-Tarkin's younger brother Gideon-Tarkin, attack in one direction respectively.
