2084.Operation Zero (seven)
This is a crazy gamble!
It was difficult for everyone present to understand why Tang Xiao had such high hopes for such a plan. Indeed, a large amount of data was used to support the plan, and the final success rate was 70%.
Although when explaining this combat plan, General Ling constantly emphasized that this probability of success is a real calculation result. As long as key technologies can be broken through and industrial production and mobilization plans can be implemented in these five years, such a probability of success can indeed be achieved.
But in fact, everyone still thinks that subtracting zero from this success rate may be more reliable.
However, this is Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao's decision! That alone is enough!
The reason for this is, on the one hand, Tang Xiao's personal prestige and the terrifying deterrent brought by his powerful power. On the other hand, as Tang Xiao said, the development of Duchy of Dawn to this day is a miracle in itself! A miracle woven by Tang Xiao himself!
From a colony of a hundred people, it took more than 20 years to develop and rule 830 billion people! What kind of development speed and strength expansion is this?
During the development process, Tang Xiao led them to miraculous reversals and victories again and again, each time proving Tang Xiao's wise determination and unparalleled foresight. Therefore, many people among Duchy of Dawn now have an almost blind superstition and worship of Tang Xiao.
Therefore, they believe that this time, Tang Xiao will still lead them to another victory! Even if this victory seems so incredible and unbelievable, they still believe that a miracle will happen again!
Seeing the almost crazy Tang Xiao and the extremely warm atmosphere at the venue, Ling Liang finally understood what Hari Seldon meant and what Tang Xiao meant.
Indeed, the starting point of Operation Zero, that pessimistic prediction, is not suitable at all. No, it is absolutely impossible to use it as the premise of such a gambling-like combat plan. In this way, it will only give this combat plan a sense of tragedy or failure, and this sense of tragedy has no effect on the success of the plan.
What Tang Xiao wants is such an almost superstitious fanaticism! Turn this battle plan into a victorious holy war!
Although it is still essentially the same plan, the result may be decisively different depending on the mentality when executing it!
Any objection is void.
Francis-Underwood and Matt-Hona all stood up and questioned this plan, but Tang Xiao did not listen at all and insisted on pursuing this plan. Even Matt-Hona wanted to resign from Commander of the Navy's position on the spot in protest, but Tang Xiao blocked him back with one sentence - "Do you want to resign? Yes. Then you recommend someone to come up and let him witness the demise of Duchy of Dawn Navy."
The plan is so certain. And starting from the next day, Duchy of Dawn quietly began to prepare according to this plan.
According to Operation Zero, the attack officially started in the 12th year of the Principality Calendar, which is June 22nd in 8BBY!

This day is called——Zero Day!
Ling Liang took back his wandering thoughts and memories and looked at the busy space port outside the window, his eyes becoming more determined.
It has been more than a year since Operation Zero advanced. Although on the surface, Duchy of Dawn still has not changed much, Ling Liang knows that the changes have already begun!
First of all, from the outside, Duchy of Dawn's exploration and invasion of Unknown Regions has been almost semi-public. A large amount of manpower and material resources were invested in Unknown Regions, and hundreds of capital ships were sent there.
What is the concept of hundreds of capital ships? At the beginning of Clone Wars, the entire Fourth Civilization army totaled only 150 battleships! Judging from the information currently available to the Galactic Empire, the overall number of battleships in Duchy of Dawn is around 800.
In other words, from the perspective of the Galaxy Imperial Intelligence Department gate, Duchy of Dawn invested one-eighth of its troops in Unknown Regions. If we exclude the troops that must defend in the three major star regions, Duchy of Dawn seems to have few mobile troops left.
Moreover, under the deliberate disclosure of the Duchy of Dawn Intelligence Department gate, the Galaxy Imperial Intelligence Department gate also learned that they drove into Unknown Regions in two directions at the same time, but they encountered danger in both directions and fell into the quagmire of war.
Starting from Northern Galaxy, Second Exploration Fleet, led by Fourth Group and InterGalactic Banking Clan, fell into a dispute between Chiss territory and surrounding forces, and was in trouble.
Starting from Southern Galaxy, First Exploration Fleet, led by the direct leader Duchy of Dawn, encountered the mysterious virus Gal-Gal, and was also in a state of distress.
Duchy of Dawn scientists even published part of the research data of Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal, listing this thing that is difficult to distinguish as a virus or an individual organism as one of the major threats to the safety of life in the galaxy.
The huge ring-shaped structures that appeared in within the Duchy of Dawn were interpreted as devices to stabilize hyperspace channels. Because Galactic Republic had used such technology before when it invaded Modell Sector, Galaxy Imperial Intelligence Department was also inclined to believe this before more decisive information was lacking.
The intelligence deception at this stage was relatively successful.
Of course, Galactic Empire's Intelligence Department doors are not vegetarian either. In response to the above situation, they also started their own actions.
Imperial Intelligence Department began to try to contact Chiss territory, and then learned about the dispute that dragged Duchy of Dawn into the quagmire. If possible, they would try to support the hostile party on Duchy of Dawn's side.
The person in charge of this operation is the Seventh Army of the Galactic Empire, which is responsible for the exploration of unknown star fields.
Then Meng Gal-Meng Gal, Galactic Empire also sent agents to obtain its samples, and planned whether they could use it in within the Duchy of Dawn caused a large-scale infection of Gal-Mongolian Gal, and passed the blame to the Duchy of Dawn research institution, which is Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group.
However, the results of this part of the operation were tragic.
Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group, who was just put in a position by the Rebel Alliance and had to push Alfred-Ashford out to take the blame, is now concerned about this matter They attached great importance to it, and even Alexia-Ashford personally took action several times, directly dismembering the exposed Galactic Empire intelligence personnel on the spot and sending the videos back.
The highly confidential areas of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group are now all controlled by clones of Alexia-Ashford, making it impossible to penetrate.
