1728, Dawn Accord (中)
Under the plan of Volgograd-Governor Kanidi, Annaj Planet took the initiative to shut down Planetary Shield, attracting Republic Expeditionary Force to launch a landing operation.
This strategy divided Republic fleet's forces very well, and made them focus on one thing at the expense of the other. They failed to concentrate all their forces on the decisive battle with Duchy of Dawn fleet.
But the price is that Annaj Planet withstood most of the firepower from Galactic Republic!
Having learned the previous lessons, Galactic Republic Expeditionary Force first carried out a brutal Orbital Bombardment on Annaj Planet before landing. Even though Republic Expeditionary Force commander-in-chief Cassio-Tagge did not carry out the destructive Orbital Bombardment with the purpose of destroying the planet in order to use Annaj Planet as an advance base, he still caused serious damage to the planet.
Of course, there is one thing to say. With the firepower of Hunter Class Battlecruiser, it is really difficult for them to destroy the surface of the planet. But there are so many battleships that can't stand up to Republic Expeditionary Force! More than 200 Hunter Classs carried out concentrated bombing. Not to mention burning glass, it was still possible to blow Annaj Planet into a desert.
However, Cassio-Tagge still carried out targeted bombing of military facilities on Annaj Planet, and also bombed some major cities to cover the landing of troops.
And after launching the landing operation, Republic fleet also actively carried out Orbital Bombardment on all detected Annaj Planet defender assembly points. A large number of Galactic Republic fighter jets also carried out precision bombing and fire suppression, all of which caused serious damage to the planet.
In order to resist the almost unstoppable advance of Galactic Republic with absolute air superiority and space superiority, Volgograd-Kanidi can be said to have done everything possible, and even used T-Virus biological weapons on a large scale. After biological weapons were put into battle, they inevitably had an impact on local civilians. In order to destroy these biological weapons, Cassio-Tagge also ordered a large-scale Orbital Bombardment attack on the city.
It is true that this Orbital Bombardment operation gave Duchy of Dawn's fleet a chance to breathe again, but it was still Annaj Planet who was injured.
Then in the subsequent battle, Galactic Republic mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to launch an all-out attack under the cover of tens of thousands of fighter jets and bombers, and this tragic battle escalated again.
In the Annaj Planet series of battles, even if evacuations and refuges were carried out, a total of more than 45 million civilian casualties were still caused! More than 70% of the planet's capital area was destroyed, and 14 other cities were destroyed!
Planet Guardian's army lost more than 700,000 lives and injured more than 1.1 million. The armored forces were almost completely destroyed, the air force was completely destroyed, and most of the airports and spaceports were destroyed!
This precious planet, which can be classified as Gaia Planet, was reduced to scorched earth in this battle, and it will still take a lot of resources and time to rebuild.
After that, in the air battle that took place at Dawn Star Planet, although 96 elite warships brought by Cassio-Tagge were completely wiped out, there were still great losses due to the stubborn resistance of the opponent.
In the Dawn Star Planet air battle, Tang Xiao invested more than 4,000 small and medium-sized warships, including Crimson Dawn, White Worm Gang, Hutt Oruba, Ni Yongxiao gangster, Calamity Legion, escort fleet and other spaceships. It can be said that all the things that can fly in Duchy of Dawn have been brought out by searching the intestines and scraping the belly!
In the end, more than 800 warships of various types were lost! This is because Glory mothership once again went into battle and ran to the front to act as a human shield!
Among them, Crimson Dawn and White Worm Gang paddled almost the entire distance. Their losses were not large, about 60 warships. The Rift Class Corvette formation that Tang Xiao helped Hutt Oruba establish lost more than half, and the loss of more than 180 ships was a crippling loss. Of course, these Rift Class Corvette also effectively suppressed the Galactic Republic fighter formation, creating favorable conditions for the next battle.
The most serious losses were undoubtedly the escort fleet of Duchy of Dawn, with a total loss of more than 300 warships.
Duchy of Dawn's escort fleet has hundreds of formations in total. These escort formations maintain the connection between Duchy of Dawn's vast resource producing areas and colonies. More than 300 escort warships have now been lost, which means that a considerable number of transportation routes will be affected.
Don't think that those interstellar pirates will stop just because Duchy of Dawn defeated Galactic Republic!
Therefore, in the air battle that broke out at Dawn Star Planet, although Duchy of Dawn completely wiped out the fleets of Cassio-Tagge, the impact on itself was very profound.
Transportation routes are affected, and the flow of resources is bound to decrease. Moreover, allies such as Crimson Dawn, White Worm Gang, and Hutt Oruba have sent fleets over. Tang Xiao has to repay the favor he owes!
Therefore, in this series of heavy losses, Duchy of Dawn really cannot afford to fight!
And the most important thing is public opinion!
Although Fourth Civilization was encouraged by Tang Xiao from the beginning and embarked on the path of war, it can be said that such an emerging force has provoked the most powerful enemy in the galaxy just after it was born. This situation is difficult for anyone to accept.
The negative impact of hostility to Galactic Republic is all-round. Whether it is trade, people's livelihood, or communication between residents, it can be said that every aspect is subject to sanctions and restrictions by Galactic Republic.
For Duchy of Dawn, because almost all the power is invested in scientific research and military industry, many civilian products are actually in line with Galactic Republic. The simplest example is hyperspace communicators, holographic projection equipment, etc., all of which are imported from Galactic Republic.
Although Duchy of Dawn and Trade Federation have a cooperative relationship, so although they are at war with Galactic Republic, they can still obtain these export products. From another perspective, Galactic Republic will not give up the opportunity to make Duchy of Dawn money through the civilian industry - after all, they make their own money, and Duchy of Dawn's finances will also increase more support, so why not?
Therefore, the war started immediately after establishing a foothold, and everything in society was to serve the war. In this way, after more than two years of war, Duchy of Dawn's public opinion has reached its limit.
After all, Duchy of Dawn is still not ready for a total war!
So under such circumstances, Peace Accord between Galactic Republic is imperative!
The contact between Chancellor of the Republic Sheev-Palpatine was initiated by Tang Xiao. One day after the Battle of Yago-Dur, Tang Xiao contacted Palpatine and conveyed his intention to make peace.
As a result, Palpatine, who was also very anxious, actually agreed!
So this became a spectacle: two Sith Lord sat together and were actually discussing peace?!
