1727.Dawn Accord (Part 1)
"It's not important. Palpatine's lie only needs to let him go through the Galactic Empire's first ten years smoothly, just like his first term after becoming the speaker." Tang Xiao said coldly.
"His first term as speaker was completely humble, peaceful and approachable, which even made people feel that he was very weak." Francis-Underwood said, "Everyone thought he was just Phineas-Valorum is only second, so everyone is moving closer to him, hoping to win him into their own camp. In the process, Palpatine got great support."
"But I still feel very unwilling..." Chief of Staff Qi Jian said, "We all know that Palpatine's current situation is very fragile, but we were unable to seize this opportunity to give him a fatal blow."
"Palpatine and his Galactic Empire are fragile, but we are even more vulnerable." Helmut-Zemo glanced at Qi Jian and said, "Our industrial production capacity has been developed to the limit, and as With the end of Modell Sector Campaign this time, Modell Sector will definitely fall into a turbulent atmosphere. Not only will we not be able to get help from Modell Sector, but we will also need to invest a lot of resources to stabilize the situation and rebuild Annaj Planet."
Qi Jian shook his head and said, "Of course I understand... This time, after the two major battles of Modell Sector and Yago-Dur System, our mobile fleet is basically half disabled, leaving only Xuanwu is still holding on, and it's different from the time we spent a lot of money to capture Terminus Planet a year and a half ago. At that time, our fleet was facing a replacement, so even if more than half of the mobile fleet was lost, it would only be a reconstruction... But now..."
"Our own production capacity has been greatly affected, and the domestic war pressure has continued to increase, almost to the edge of collapse." Qi Jian sighed, "I only hope that in this decade, we can be reborn."
"As for diplomacy, the first principle is that there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies." Francis-Underwood said, "As for politics, the most important thing is position. And this time we changed our position, which is the biggest benefit to us. For the Galactic Empire, if you think about it carefully, they actually didn't get anything... because we couldn't do anything in the first place."
Tang Xiao didn't speak, just looked at the holographic projection.
On top of that, the speeches of Sheev-Palpatine were played repeatedly, while the scribe on the side recorded the full text of the speech. Then, naturally, experts from all walks of life came to interpret it word for word, and dig out all the overt and covert meanings of Palpatine's speech.
This time the diplomatic strategy was initiated by him. And surprisingly, he originally thought that many of his senior officials would object, but it turned out that almost everyone was in favor of the ceasefire and signing of an agreement with Galactic Republic.
This is true even for military personnel such as Qi Jian, Matt-Hona, Ling Liang, Xian Hui, and Cheng Shitao!
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Because everyone can understand that Duchy of Dawn really cannot afford to fight...
As Qi Jian said just now, after the two major battles were fought this time, it seemed that Duchy of Dawn had won a complete victory, but in fact, was this victory costless? Not really!
In the Battle of Yago-Dour, Duchy of Dawn lost 27 main warships and more than 80 small and medium-sized warships. Moreover, Starbase A Agonev-class suffered heavy damage and was forced to fall into synchronous orbit. Then it was thrown out when the Yago-Dur planet changed its orbit, and has now been swallowed up by Star Two.
The cost of building an interstellar base is comparable to that of a small fleet! This is the fundamental reason why Agonev-class star base can protect the periphery of the planet like a strong shield on the battlefield!
In addition, due to the violent orbit change of the Yago-Dur planet, the planet has not yet completely entered a stable orbit. This will cause the production capacity of the Yago-Dur planet to drop by at least 70%!
In other words, if we want to maintain the defense line of Yago-Dur planet after this, we must continue to provide the Givin with assistance through Duchy of Dawn. What's more, the Givin also shoulders the important task of continuing to build the second ship Ankollon-class Titan warship, Taowu. This is a bottomless pit that consumes a lot of resources and production capacity!
But it is obviously impossible to abandon the Yago-Dur planet. Not to mention that the plan of the Givin to immigrate to Lothal has not yet been launched. The value of the Yago-Dur system as a natural line of defense for the Three-Body system is difficult to estimate.
This time the Yago-Dur battle has shown how well the Givin, who knows this galaxy well, is able to fight here, but it is difficult for the invaders to gain the same advantage here.
That's right, the Yago-Durr galaxy here is the Three-Body galaxy. If you have the ability, can you figure out the rules?
So after this battle, Galactic Republic, oh no, it's Galactic Empire now. If they want to attack the Yago-Dur system again, they will definitely be cautious or even give up directly.
Giving up on the Yago-Dur system at this time would probably make Palpatine laugh out of his teeth.
On the other side, Modell Sector is even more tragic!
Because Galactic Republic Expeditionary Force has so many troops, the power of more than 300 battleships is unprecedented! With such a huge force coming, even Tang Xiao had to transform into Darth-Malthael to kill the enemy in person!
In this battle, Duchy of Dawn suffered even more heavy losses!
The first is the loss of battleships. Among the protracted space stations outside Annaj Planet, Duchy of Dawn lost a total of 29 capital ships and more than 60 small and medium-sized battleships.
It doesn't look like much, but this is all preserved due to the guerrilla tactics of Volgograd-Kanidi. Unlike the Battle of Yago-Dour, there were not many direct exchanges of fire between the two sides. And among them, Das-Malthael personally took action and used his Death Force to snatch 6 Knight-class Star Destroyer and 8 Hunter Class Battlecruiser. Governor Kanidi used these free warships as human shields, effectively reducing his own losses.
But even so, after the war, the remaining naval warships were basically injured, and many of them even needed to return to the dock for overhaul for more than three months!
Therefore, the fleet that participated in the space battle around Annaj Planet can basically be said to be useless.
And Annaj Planet, who suffered a direct login attack from Galactic Republic, was even more miserable!
