1720. The end of Galactic Republic (1)
The Yago-Dur galaxy is still in chaos. Star Two is still moving very violently towards the other end of the galaxy, but its speed has begun to gradually decrease. After all, this star failed to break away from the gravitational control of the huge Star One in the center of the galaxy, and failed to fly to other places.
The Yago-Dur planet, which also flew out at high speed, has gradually moved closer to the orbit of Star Two under the influence of gravity. Within the next month, this planet will be captured by Star Two and become its satellite. Then follow Star Two into a wider orbit - rotating around Star One.
But this process will not last too long. According to the calculation of the current orbit of Star Two, this star will be entangled with the gravity of Star Three again in 5 years. At that time, Star Two and Star Three will form a binary star system.
During this process, the Yago-Dur planet will be tossed back and forth between the two stars like a pinball for at least 20 years.
These 20 years will be a very difficult 20 years for the Givin.
But no matter what, now when the last Galactic Republic warship chooses to surrender in despair, there is no longer a Galactic Republic warship in the Yago-Dur system. This is a very rare victory!
The Givin, who was still hiding in the huge underground cave, did not let the astronomical disaster affect their good mood at all. They celebrated the victory enthusiastically in their own way.
Because the Givin is always in a precarious state, and the entire planet may be destroyed at any time, so every time they encounter something happy, they will celebrate without reservation.
If we don't celebrate now, will we have to wait until the future when we don't know whether we will live or die?
The Givin's way of celebrating is very strange, because their entire race advocates mathematics, so the way they celebrate is... doing math problems... and they are weird and tricky math problems!
They took out various mathematical problems they designed and projected them on a small holographic projection. While discussing the subtleties of their own problems, they discussed the mathematical problems raised by other family members.
In short, some of the Duchy of Dawn technicians and soldiers who stayed on the planet Yago-Dur, after seeing the Givin's way of celebrating, they had to decline the other party's warm invitation and returned to their residences to drink in despair.
Just kidding, in front of these the Givin, even the few Duchy of Dawn senior engineers who accompanied the army felt like children who had not graduated from elementary school. When those the Givins surround you with faces that they think are enthusiastic, but in fact no expressions can be seen from their skull-like chitin heads, and hold math problems that you have never seen before in their hands for you to do, the sense of oppression is really unmatched by anything else!
By the way, the Givin does not drink alcohol, nor do they smoke, let alone spices, and they will never touch them. Because these things will disrupt their logical thinking.
In short, now not only the Yago-Dur planet, but looking at the entire within the Duchy of Dawn, all Republic warship have been completely eliminated!
That's right, it's victory!
Galactic Republic almost assembled an overwhelming fleet to besiege Duchy of Dawn, opening up two major battlefields: Modell Sector and the Yago-Dur system. Nearly 600 capital ships, more than 400 small and medium-sized warships, more than 8,000 transport ships of various types, and more than 40,000 carrier-based fighter jets and bombers of various types were invested!
Such a huge force overwhelmed the situation, but in the end, it was completely repelled by Duchy of Dawn!
Not only was it repelled, but Galactic Republic paid an extremely heavy price! Less than one-third of the warships participating in the battle were able to return to the rear!
This is of course a victory! And it's a decisive victory!
When the news of victory spreads to every planet in Duchy of Dawn, it will be a carnival that covers the entire territory! Every one of Duchy of Dawn 800 billion people cheered for this victory. They loudly praised Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao's heroic decision., taking the lead, loudly praising Matt-Admiral Horner and Volgograd-Kanidi for their strategizing and using troops like gods.
Tang Xiao even directly announced that August 7th will be Victory Day for Duchy of Dawn! Three days of holiday throughout the country! And from now on, this Victory Day will continue as a regular holiday.
Of course he will not begrudge this vacation, because Tang Xiao now knows very well that Galactic Republic is finished! Duchy of Dawn After two and a half years of struggle, he finally carved a sky for himself! It has laid a stable development period for at least the next ten years!
That's right, Galactic Republic, it's finished.
Because this failure was already an unbearable burden for Galactic Republic.
In fact, what the top leaders of Tang Xiao, Qi Jian, Matt-Hona and other Fourth Civilization don't know is that Galactic Republic actually invested more troops in this attack than they thought!
For this attack, Galactic Republic mobilized a total of nearly 700 battleships!
In addition to the Modell Sector direction and the Yago-Dur direction, Galactic Republic originally planned to open a third battlefield at the same time as Eriadu system, and prepared a force of 150 capital ships for this purpose.
But at that time, because Tang Xiao felt the change of Jedi Order, he judged that it was probably Order 66 who started it. Therefore, he asked Supreme Military Command to formulate an attack plan and prepare to take advantage of the situation.
That's why the next Enarc battle came about.
Under the leadership of General Ling, Eriadu's fleet took the initiative and attacked Republic fleet's assembly point Kira planet, and then turned back to fight a beautiful defensive counterattack at Enarc.
Although this battle did not achieve any substantial results, it severely damaged the arrogance of Republic fleet, who was preparing to attack, and also damaged the space stations around Kira planet. Republic military had to rebuild Kira planet's base.
And in the following time, Galactic Republic, who had suffered too much from Xuanwu Titan warship, had to continue to add troops to Kira planet, and always remained on the defensive.
Then Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command, who was stretched thin due to lack of strength, agreed to Kuat Drive Yards's gamble plan and let Kuat be responsible for Modell Sector's battle.
How could Kuat Drive Yards fight? And as a company, it is impossible for them to have the authority to command an official General Galactic Republic Navy. Therefore, Cassio-Tagge, a top student at the military academy who was previously a major, was promoted to rear admiral and then commanded Kuat Drive Yards's fleet.
At the same time, Kuat Drive Yards also has the authority to direct the actions of Cassio-Tagge.
In this way, it actually laid the foundation for the failure of Modell Sector Campaign.
Just imagine, if General Ling had not launched Enarc Campaign, then Galactic Republic's attack this time would be mainly from the two directions of Eriadu system and the Yago-Dur system. There might be a raid by Modell Sector, but the scale would not be so large.
So next, the Eriadu system and Galactic Republic fleet battleships in the Yago-Dur system may exceed 300 ships. At the same time, since these two directions do not require long-distance raids, they will also bring a large number of small and medium-sized warships to cooperate, and logistical supplies will not be a problem.
Then these two battlefields will also become a frontal war of attrition! And while being consumed in two directions, Modell Sector will also be attacked!
So under the circumstances at that time, it was possible for Modell Sector to directly declare independence, then negotiate a separate peace with Galactic Republic, or withdraw from the war.
In this case, even if Duchy of Dawn can still win, it will definitely be broken. Next, facing a Duchy of Dawn covered in wounds, Das-Sidious will definitely not have much patience.
So in fact, many times when you are feeling very uncomfortable, you have to think that your opponent may be feeling even more uncomfortable than you. Sometimes if you bite the bullet and take the initiative, you may actually get a great turn for the better.
Just like General Ling almost completely gave up Eriadu's defense and boldly sent Xuanwu Titan warship to Enarc's battle.
That battle laid a solid foundation for subsequent victories.
Now, the results are different!
Among Modell Sector Raid, Galactic Republic and Kuat Drive Yards have a total of 439 warships, most of which are Hunter Class Battlecruiser, a small number of which are outdated warships such as Invincible-class battleship, and the last new type of Knight-class Star Destroyer has only 30 ships.
Not only that, in order to achieve the effect of directly attacking the rear of Duchy of Dawn, Kuat Drive Yards also spent a huge amount of money to build Hyperspace Stabilizer in an unmanned galaxy that uses stars as its energy source. And a military base consisting of hundreds of large space stations was built around this super facility!
Just the construction of this military base, which was later named Dawn Star System, and Hyperspace Stabilizer, consumed so much money and resources that even Galactic Republic's stretched Finance Department could only look up to him!
However, in this failed raid, all 310 warships sent there were wiped out, and none of them could come back! Fleet Commander Cassio-Tagge and adjutant Laslo-Dorit are said to have died in battle.
Not to mention, Dawn Star System's Hyperspace Stabilizer was also used by Duchy of Dawn's ace spy James-Bond and Nova, Gabriel-Tosh, plus two Dark Templar Sola-a, Oola-Khan, and the super hacker Super Lotus were destroyed under the luxurious combination.
The ensuing chaos also caused heavy losses to Dawn Star System. He stayed behind at Dawn Star System. Fortunately, among the more than 100 battleships that had not had time to send Modell Sector, 3 more Hunter Class were destroyed, and 11 Hunter Class were seriously damaged in the process and had to be returned to the factory for overhaul.
So this is a total loss of 324 battleships! More than 20,000 carrier-based aircraft were also wiped out!
In addition, in order to maintain the huge amount of supplies needed for this huge fleet to fight in Modell Sector, those transport ships used Hyperspace Stabilizer in the past and it didn't matter. When they returned, they had to risk passing through the Modell Sector channel, which was opened by Master Yoda and is now extremely unstable. During this process, at least more than 500 transport ships were lost.
As mentioned before, although this huge fleet is said to be provided by Kuat Drive Yards, in fact it still consumes Galactic Republic's own strength. Apart from making Galactic Republic's finances look a little better, it has no special meaning.
After all, no matter how much money Kuat Drive Yards has, it belongs to them, and Galactic Republic has no right to let them take out the money. This battle is actually to let Kuat Drive Yards take the initiative to take out the money.
Modell Sector Raid can be said to be the most tragic failure since the founding of Galactic Republic more than 25,000 years ago!
Then there is the Yago-Dur planet battle, which is fought with the Republic 20th Army as the main force. 20th Army Governor Octavian-Grant, who was reinforced by a large number of battleships, invited Gideon-Tarkin Admiral will serve as the highest Commander, and this move also allows him to get the support of the current Governor of the Fourth Army Wilhuff-Tarkin.
With the support of Governor Tarkin, Octavian-Grant received strong political and logistical support, allowing them to launch the Yago-Dur system strategy battle.
Because according to previous intelligence, Duchy of Dawn and Titan warship were built in the Yago-Dur system, so this battle is also of great significance.
But God is not as good as man. Even if General Gideon-Tarkin has indeed proved his strength as a famous general, his step-by-step tactics have successfully suppressed Commander-in-Chief Duchy of Dawn's fleet Matt-Admiral Horner almost completely.
However, the Yago-Durr galaxy is a Three-Body galaxy!
The inability to accurately calculate the movement patterns of the Three-Body galaxy left General Gideon-Tarkin unprepared for the drastic changes that would follow. They were completely defeated by Matt-Admiral Horner using that only chance!
In the Yago-Dur system battle, Galactic Republic invested a total of 209 capital ships, more than 400 small and medium-sized battleships, and 20 large auxiliary ships such as shield ships.
However, due to the proper command of Admirals Gideon-Tarkin, although this battle was a disastrous defeat, more or less warships were brought back. In addition to his flagship Commander II-class Dreadnought, there are 54 Hunter Class Battlecruiser, 2 Knight-class Star Destroyer, and 57 small and medium-sized warships that can go back.
Among the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser, which was newly developed and built by Republic Sienar Systems, all five ships that were put into the Yago-Dur system were destroyed. The other five ships stayed at the forward base and were on standby. Before they could set off, news of the main fleet's defeat came, so they were lucky enough to be saved.
However, precisely because of this, Republic Sienar Systems was unable to obtain more battlefield data, which delayed the official service of Vindicator-class for half a year. This can be considered a strategic significance.
