2083.Operation Zero (six)
Master Evan-Piel's hyperspace channel data was divided into two by him. One half was given to Wullf-Yularen Admiral of the Navy who was with him at the time, and the other half was taken with him. In the end, Evan-Piel was killed by Darth-Malthael in Nal Hutta satellite, and Wullf-Yularen took the other half back and gave it to Palpatine.
Master Evan-Piel's half of the data was finally taken back by Anakin-Skywalker and handed over to Jedi Order for archiving.
Therefore, Palpatine finally got the complete data and treasured this data as one of his biggest trump cards.
In other words, although Tang Xiao knows the existence of this hyperspace channel, he does not know the specific data.
However...The Givin once again proved that they are the best mathematicians in the galaxy.
Because what Tang Xiao actually gave them was just a vague concept. After all, he only knew that in the plot, General Grievous led Confederacy of Independent Systems's final main fleet, and more than a thousand warships directly attacked Coruscant. He also knew the approximate starting and ending points of this waterway. He did not know more details.
After all, the plot won't actually tell you the data of the hyperspace channel, right?
But the Givin actually used this little information and after a long period of calculations to calculate this hyperspace channel!
The Givin The best great mathematician Baher-Banak, it was he who presided over this epic calculation again.
Baher-Banak It was during the previous battle of Eriadu system that he successfully calculated stellar flares and the number one contributor who affected hyperspace lanes through stellar flares. Similarly, when Galactic Republic launched a large-scale attack on the Yago-Dur planet, an orbit change of the Yago-Dur planet was accurately calculated.
But the results of those two calculations were not as good as this one!
He is equivalent to calculating a hyperspace channel through the center of the Milky Way with only one vague direction! This is completely an epic calculation!
Therefore, Duchy of Dawn also mastered this channel without Palpatine's complete knowledge.
And this waterway, which was named 'Tianshu' by Tang Xiao himself, is the biggest core of Operation Zero.
In Operation Zero, the entire year's battle plan was all to prepare for the final assault on Coruscant. During this year, Duchy of Dawn's fleet will attack everywhere, assuming a posture of directly inserting Mid Rim Territories.
The initial combat plan was completely replicating a large-scale raid that General Grievous successfully conducted during the Clone Wars period - Festival Offensive.
Among Festival Offensive, General Grievous fought directly from Eastern Outer Rim to Southern Territory, almost piercing the Milky Way, and dealt a heavy blow to Galactic Republic. For a time, it could only retreat to the Inner Rim defense line Darron planet.
This battle was even adopted by the military academies of Galactic Republic and Duchy of Dawn at the same time and included in their teaching materials.
Therefore, the initial goal of Operation Zero is to create a reverse Festival Offensive, killing all the way from Southwest Territory to Eastern Territory.
At the same time, Duchy of Dawn's propaganda machine and intelligence agency will also guide Imperial military to make judgments in this direction. Then when Galactic Empire concentrates his forces in the wrong direction, Dawn Star Planet's main fleet will conduct a large-scale maneuver through the star gate, and then directly attack Coruscant through the Nexus Route!
This battle of raiding Coruscant will be personally directed by Sefrans-Tann!!
Capturing Coruscant and killing Emperor Palpatine is the ultimate goal of Operation Zero!
As long as Coruscant is occupied, the legitimacy of Galactic Republic-Galactic Empire will suffer the most severe blow. As Hari Seldon said before, the political power that the people of the galaxy take for granted will be captured by foreign enemies! This also means that the truth they have believed in for 25,000 years will be shattered!
After that, the war will not end, but the first phase of Duchy of Dawn's strategic purpose has been achieved. Next, according to Operation Zero's request, Duchy of Dawn will abandon Coruscant, return to his own jurisdiction, relax economic policies, and enter a stage of recuperation.
Because once such a situation is formed, Galactic Empire will inevitably enter a warlord melee situation, and Rebel Alliance's power will definitely be greatly strengthened. By that time, Rebel Alliance is very likely to come to the surface, occupy key galaxies, and form its own political power.
Faced with this situation, Duchy of Dawn will become the most powerful separatist regime in the galaxy. They can advance, attack, retreat or defend. They will sit back and watch the changes in the galaxy in the iron-barrel-like territory they have built.
Duchy of Dawn will be invincible!
And this is Operation Zero!
The entire plan is meticulous and covers many aspects. It can be said that it is Duchy of Dawn's plan to mobilize all his strength and complete the victory in one battle.
Because this plan is indeed a huge gamble!
The first is to directly press all the troops to attack Coruscant. This is almost impossible to do!
Coruscant has the largest population in the entire galaxy, the most powerful Planetary Shield, the most complete orbital defense system, and the immovable First System Army who is always stationed near the planet!
First System Army is also the most powerful fleet in the entire Galactic Empire! During the Clone Wars period, even when General Grievous was approaching Darron planet and threatening Inner Rim and Core Worlds, First System Army was never mobilized.
In other words, no matter how Operation Zero deceived and mobilized in the previous year's battle, in the end, they will eventually have a decisive battle with the First System Army under Coruscant's powerful and almost abnormal defense!
Can you win?
No one can guarantee this.
And once Battle of Coruscant is turned on, what will actually be turned on is a head-on collision between the old order and the new pattern of the galaxy. Will the tradition that has ruled the galaxy for 25,000 years win again, or will the emerging forces rising on the frontier and want to challenge the old order win?
If the battle fails, the weight of the ruling system inherited from Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire will once again be strengthened in the minds of the people. Coruscant's orthodox ideas will be further entrenched, and Duchy of Dawn will forever lose the opportunity to challenge.
At the same time, because Duchy of Dawn overdrawn too much national credit during the previous five years of preparations, once it fails, the legitimacy of Dawn Star Planet's rule will be widely questioned and even resisted.
The result was the collapse of Duchy of Dawn!
