1867. Iron triangle defense
If Salatan-Morse proposes to directly send troops to attack Geonosis, Tang Xiao will definitely object. In this matter, Salatan, as an intelligence officer rather than General Staff Headquarters or Tang Xiao himself, his strategic position is not high enough and he did not see the danger of this matter.
Because when it comes to the betrayal of Geonosis, or to be more precise, Poggle-the inferior archduke, what you should be worried about is whether Duchy of Dawn himself will be beaten!
As Duchy of Dawn continues to develop, there are many enclaves hanging outside the direct jurisdiction of Dawn Star Planet.
For example, Rendili Planet, as well as Balmorra-Neimoidia, Kato-Neimoidia, the hometown of Trade Federation, these planets actually have hidden hyperspace channels connected to the outside, so the defense is relatively stable. In addition, these planets are extremely developed, equipped with advanced Planetary Shield, orbital defense cannons, interstellar bases and other defense facilities. They will also be priority targets when building star gates in the future, so under normal circumstances Galactic Empire will not pay attention to these places.
Another example is the hometown of the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Fourth Group, Makito and Muunilinst. This area has its own system. Not only are there Caladanian on the periphery, Indjori and Golden Nyss Shipyard are close to Inner Rim, but also Geth is helping around. Its overall strength is second only to the three major star areas around Dawn Star Planet. Galactic Empire generally does not dare to make any plans here.
Then there is Semirres Planet. There is really no way to do this. Tang Xiao directly asked them to hand over the design of Endless-class Super Carrier and then surrendered. There was a tacit understanding between him and Das-Vader, so after receiving Semirres Planet's request to surrender, he already had Endless-class Super Carrier's blueprint to deal with, so he would let Semirians go.
The blueprint of Endless-class Super Carrier is naturally the original version, and the related technology of Forerunners has been deleted, and Particle Beam Lance has not been installed. So when Galactic Empire got this blueprint, he would just think that this is a comprehensive mothership with complete functions, powerful firepower, but a little clumsy, and the significance of exploration is greater than the significance of the battlefield.
Finally, it's Christophsis.
Before this, although this place was an isolated enclave, there was no convenient secret channel, the strategic value was not high enough to prioritize the construction of the star gate, and the planet itself was not as powerful as Rendili Planet.
But why did Galactic Republic launch a counterattack before and rebuild Republic's 14th Legion that was destroyed on Ryloth? Why would it rather bypass Christophsis than solve it together?
Because there is an iron triangle around this planet.
Christophsis, Geonosis, Tatooine, the three planets are not far from each other, and each has its own strength and characteristics. In addition, because of the existence of Tatooine, this place has a deep relationship with Hutt Space. Therefore, it is foreseeable that once Galactic Republic wants to attack here, it will undoubtedly fall into a quagmire and be unable to extricate itself.
This policy has also been extended to the Galactic Empire. Imperial Navy also agrees with the previous views of Galactic Republic Supreme Strategic Command and will not give priority to this iron triangle.
But now, because of the betrayal of Archduke Poggle Poggle-lower people, it is equivalent to missing a link in the iron triangle. What's more serious is that Duchy of Dawn still doesn't know about it at all!
If not for the reminder from Sefrans-Tann, Duchy of Dawn had always thought that Geonosis, who was preparing for war, planned to resist to the end because of the support of Christophsis!
At that time, once Geonosis suddenly jumped back, cutting off the connection between Hutt Space and Christophsis, and then Galactic Empire's army invaded the situation, the iron triangle became someone else's.
Therefore, Tang Xiao responded immediately. The situation was very urgent and there was no time to go to the Intelligence Department and General Staff Headquarters for a meeting. Tang Xiao made a decision directly based on his own judgment - to go to Gizzo Delso!
He judged that Queen of the Geonosians was kidnapped. Geonosis must not know about it. This was a secret conspiracy! So find Gizzo Delso immediately and find out his attitude. Once he really doesn't know, you can rely on this information to win over Geonosis!
Who is Gizzo Delso?
He is Geonosians Chief Engineer, the manager of the huge robot factory underground in Geonosis. In the original plot, after Poggle-the inferior was killed, it was he who took up the banner of Geonosis to resist Galactic Empire in a desperate situation, restarted the shut down combat robots, and continued to fight against the Galactic Empire, which had occupied the entire galaxy at that time, for seven years!
Gizo Delso is such an all-rounder who combines scientific research, engineering, leadership, and combat. And he is an extreme racist Geonosians. He and Galactic Empire will never have any room for compromise and will only fight to the end!!
Before that, because Tang Xiao misjudged the position of Poggle-the Inferior Archduke, he did not contact Gizzo Delso rashly. Because Delso, who is extremely loyal to Geonosis, is undoubtedly extremely loyal to Poggle-lower, he will not pay attention to Tang Xiao's solicitation.
But things are different now. Geonosians Queen Emperor Karina definitely did not leave Geonosis voluntarily, so the act of kidnapping Queen is considered betrayal by Gizzo Delso!
Contact Gizzo Delso as soon as possible to confirm the attitude of those Geonosians who stayed behind on Geonosis, and then instigate rebellion in one fell swoop to reorganize the Iron Triangle!
Otherwise, once Galactic Empire seizes the opportunity and launches a subversive action in Christophsis, Duchy of Dawn will only suffer a dumb loss!
Duchy of Dawn does not dare to take the initiative to attack Galactic Empire now. Tang Xiao knows this, and Palpatine also knows it!
Naturally, Galactic Empire did not dare to take the initiative to attack Duchy of Dawn, but Palpatine could use some non-military means to gradually remove Duchy of Dawn's peripheral power.
absolute! We can't let Palpatine succeed!
"Do it immediately! Before Galactic Empire attacks us secretly!" Tang Xiao ordered coldly, "Duchy of Dawn You can use all intelligence resources. Dark Templar, Ghost Agent, everything is fine! We must find Gizzo Delso within today!"
"Understood." Salatan-Morse responded in a deep voice, and then closed the communication.
