1682. Determination of Cassio-Tagge
Cassio-Tagge finally decided to attack Dawn Star Planet!
His judgment was not an irrational decision. On the contrary, from his perspective, it was the best solution to the current dilemma.
First of all, the prerequisite for the large-scale military operation Modell Sector is a raid. In fact, after they arrived at Annaj Planet and saw the defense facilities and fleets waiting here, the so-called raid ceased to exist.
Separatists is already prepared.
The next step was to attack Annaj Planet, but first Archangel of Death took action personally. As soon as the battle started, the vanguard was beaten until they were crying for reinforcements. Later, two Dark Side strong men from 'Hand of the Chancellor', Jan Droga and Sa Kuis, took action and barely managed to stop Archangel of Death's massacre.
Then in the fleet battle, they were hit head-on by the opponent's advanced Calamity-class battlecruiser and Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser, and progress was slow.
In the end, they had to concentrate their firepower to severely damage the interstellar base, and then forced a landing.
However, there were repeated setbacks during the landing battles. The large number of biological and chemical weapons appeared, making street fighting in the city a nightmare for Republic clone army. Although it cannot compete with Galactic Republic's armored forces on the wild battlefield, in a street fighting environment, biological and chemical weapons are indeed capable of causing heavy casualties to Republic army.
Therefore, now, more than half a month has passed since the war began, and this battle has actually been considered a failure.
Even if he really occupied Annaj Planet, used it as an advance base, and even successfully completed the construction of Hyperspace Stabilizer and built a stable channel from Dawn Star System to Annaj system, it would still be of no avail.
To put it bluntly, if the channel is opened, so what?
Are you, Kuat Drive Yards, planning to spend time here with Separatists of Dawn Star Planet, or are you, Galactic Republic, here to spend it?
Kuat Drive Yards is impossible, they are just a company after all. Even if this company does have industrial capabilities that far exceed those of the entire Dawn Star Planet, they are still a company.
Companies want to pursue profits, and they cannot consume their precious production capacity in this place.
What about Galactic Republic? If they were really capable, they wouldn't be able to leave things here to Kuat Drive Yards!
You must know that Galactic Republic is now blooming on all sides, Northern Territory and Geth are fighting bloody battles, and Eastern Territory is besieging guarded by General Grievous Saleucami Planet, Southern Territory are advancing towards Rynoth, preparing to rebuild 14th Army, and then Western Reaches is still fighting in the Yago-Dur system.
Galactic Republic Where does the power come from to waste it on Annaj system?
Therefore, this attack on Modell Sector has already failed from the second it started!
So since it failed, as the expeditionary force's total Commander, Cassio-Tagge are certainly to blame. He became the general Commander because of his good relationship with Tagge family and Dunn-Governor Vesex, and he was an exception and was directly promoted to major general when he was still a major.
After giving such a great benefit, the answer sheet turned out to be a failure, which cannot be justified in any case.
At that time, Dunn-Vesex will definitely put aside his own responsibility at all costs and put all the blame on Cassio-Tagge.
It can be said that by that time, his military career was over.
Veterans Laslo-Dorit's suggestions are understandable from a military perspective. But Cassio-Tagge, who grew up in our patriarch family, has a higher position. Naturally, he focuses on something different - a war is not just a contest on the battlefield. In the end, it has to return to politics.
Just as according to his understanding, Sefrans-Tann, the number one general on Separatists's side and also the target of Cassio-Tagge, is also in the same situation. Although Sefrans-Tann beat Republic fleet to pieces every time they fought on the battlefield, so that as long as Tann appeared on the battlefield, even if she only had one frigate, Fleet Commander on Galactic Republic's side would tremble for a while.
But what eventually became Commander of the Navy was Matt-Hona.
Therefore, now we change the direction and attack Dawn Star Planet. This plan seems absurd and does not seem to conform to the theory in any military textbook, but it is the optimal solution for Cassio-Tagge.
What's more, he is not completely unsure about attacking Dawn Star Planet!
Kuat Drive Yards invested a total of more than 400 battleships in this raid on Modell Sector. Although the losses were extremely heavy after the war started, with the continuous reinforcement of battleships, he still has 207 large battleships in his hands!
This number seems to be a lot, but in fact, just look at the 110 Hunter Class Battlecruisers that are still gathering reserve forces at Dawn Star System.
Within half a month after the war began, the expeditionary force lost more than 90 Hunter Class Battlecruisers in Annaj system!!
According to the naval establishment of Galactic Republic, he has already joined three entire galaxy fleets!
But even so, with his extremely strong military reserves, he still firmly holds the advantage on Annaj system's space battlefield.
In addition to covering the landing of troops and escorting the transport fleet, they also had to hunt down the Separatists warships that were running around, leaving them in a bit of a panic. This unprecedented army would not be fatally threatened by the Separatist fleet.
Therefore, it is not impossible for the battleships in relatively good condition in this fleet to attack Dawn Star Planet directly!
There are no more battleships on the Dawn Star Planet side, which has been confirmed many times by the Republic Intelligence Department.
They must deploy heavy troops in the Eriadu system and Yago-Dur systems, and now they have to deal with the battle of Annaj system. It has long been impossible to have more mobile power!
Therefore, he assembled a huge fleet to directly attack Dawn Star Planet. The only threat was the Star Ring of Dawn Star Planet!
At that time, maybe we can negotiate with Tang Xiao...
Cassio-Tagge was thinking about another thing at this time, asking Tang Xiao to give him some design data of the battleship, and then he could promise not to bomb Dawn Star Planet, and take the data back to hand over the contract, the best of both worlds!
According to the situation just given by the Staff Department, of the 207 warships in his hands, 95 are relatively intact and suitable for raid operations, almost all of which are Hunter Class Battlecruiser.
Coupled with his own flagship - Tagge's Commander-class Dreadnought, with this force, he attacks Dawn Star Planet!
Then the remaining 102 warships also have enough power to protect themselves in Annaj Planet. At least maintaining the status quo is no problem.
Seize this only opportunity!
Cassio-Tagge made up his mind.
