2337. The first time Fandor Campaign (2)

Boom! boom!! boom!!!

The dull sound of bombing continued to sound. The Governor of the Galaxy Imperial Twentieth Army Octavian-Grant looked at the sky with an extremely gloomy expression.

The continuous bombing has lasted for three days. During these three days, on average once every five hours, the huge and more powerful nuclear bomb will arrive as scheduled and accurately bomb Fondor Planet's Planetary Shield.

Giant nuclear bombs with a yield of tens of billions and continuous bombing put Fondor Planet and Planetary Shield under tremendous pressure. Octavian-Grant has arranged for three industrial companies on the planet to continuously produce shield capacitors to meet the needs of Planetary Shield.

Now every bombing, Planetary Shield will produce huge energy losses, which is used to neutralize the power of nuclear bombs.

The shield system is like this. If it is a battleship armored belt, this kind of attack with a wide spread range and not very powerful per unit area may not even be considered a scratch at all. But Planetary Shield must consume the same amount or even higher energy to neutralize this attack.

This is why 99.999% of the planets in the Milky Way cannot afford the cost of Planetary Shield. In the final analysis, it is expensive. Not only is it expensive to buy, it's even more expensive to use. Some planets with less developed industries may be bombed by the other party, and all the power generation of the entire planet will be swallowed up by Planetary Shield.

Octavian-Grant has just signed an order to transform thirteen factories on the planet to produce more shield capacitors. At the same time, more reactor units will be added to more than 70 power stations on the planet. From behind the Galactic Empire, more supplies are constantly being delivered.

But even so, it will take at least a month for these things to turn into real energy and be replenished to Planetary Shield. And now Fondor Planet's Planetary Shield, there is not a month to waste!

According to calculations, Fondor Planet and Planetary Shield can sustain up to two weeks under the current intensity of bombing every five hours!

But in the current situation, we absolutely cannot take the initiative. He forced Gideon-Tarkin to take the initiative once before, but Gideon was also worried that his warship would suffer serious losses, so he quickly evacuated after a false shot. But even so, this encounter was extremely thrilling, which also verified the military's prediction-to defeat this powerful fleet led by the famous generals Sefrans-Tann, more than three times the strength of the force would be needed.

So based on the advice of General Gideon-Tarkin, Octavian-Grant also issued an order - it is strictly forbidden to go to war!

Even if Planetary Shield, the opponent's secret weapon, keeps bombarding the planet, he will never go to war, and he will never give Kingdom of Dawn fleet any chance for a decisive battle between the fleets! Wait for reinforcements from Darth-Vader to arrive before fighting to the death.

But just when the Galactic Empire defenders were terrified, Kingdom of Dawn Fleet Commander Sefrans-Tann once again made an amazing move.

When the main fleets of both sides were facing each other in the air between the two planets Fondor Planet and Planet Three, Imperial fleet's optical sensor suddenly sent back an extremely amazing picture!

On the screen, dozens of Kingdom of Dawn and Raloz-class Heavy Constructor are assembling a very huge ring-shaped space facility! The diameter of this space facility is about 50 kilometers. The surrounding ring structure is under intensive construction, and many complex machinery are being installed.

In the section that has been installed, it shows a ferocious style that looks like a crustacean insect. The color is dark red and black, which makes people feel chilling.

No one needs to explain, just this shape has already publicly explained to everyone - this thing is the Star Gate!!

Galactic Empire Although Kingdom of Dawn is certain that a stargate exists and has seen photos, this stargate under construction is the first time they have seen it with their own eyes!

There is no doubt that once this star gate is completed, Fondor Planet will be included in Kingdom of Dawn's star gate network. At that time, Kingdom of Dawn will transport various supplies and fleet reinforcements to Fondor Planet, which may be more convenient than Galactic Empire!

Once the star gate is completed, no one knows where Fondor Planet's war situation will go!

Now, Generals Octavian-Governor Grant and Gideon-Tarkin once again face a dilemma - Fondor Planet is constantly being attacked by mysterious nuclear bombs, and Planetary Shield can last about two weeks. At the same time, Separatists is building the stargate. Once the construction is completed, their logistical support will be endless!

So, take the initiative to destroy the Star Gate, and maybe even get some of the Star Gate's debris for study? Or should we continue to cower in the face of the nuclear bomb bombardment and the star gate under our noses?

After a long period of consideration, Octavian-Grant and Gideon-Tarkin finally made their choice - Turtle!

The power in their hands now is really unable to compete head-on with Kingdom of Dawn fleet.

About 10 more days passed during this confrontation, and it was August 33.

At this moment, battlefields are also starting in other directions in the galaxy. In the direction of Mimban, the fleet led by "Barab Butcher" has defeated the small defensive fleet of the Galactic Empire and has begun to land on the planet. The land battle has broken out, and Galactic Empire's reinforcement fleet is heading in the direction of Mimban.

In the direction of Western Reaches of the galaxy, the reorganized Freedom Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps fleet is fighting fiercely with Galactic Empire's fleet near Parmant, and has already gained the upper hand. Battle of Port Pament is about to start.

At the same time, Rebel Alliance from planets in this direction that have rebelled have begun to attack Galactic Empire's garrison camps, and the situation is not optimistic.

In the direction of Northern Territory, Dunn-Vesex ordered Admiral Gillard-Perine to immediately organize the fleet and prepare to start a counterattack. More than 800 warships have assembled on the planet Paarin Minor, the capital of the Ninth Army, and begun dispatching, targeting the previously captured planet Oude Mantle, the capital of the Eighth Army!

In the direction of Mandalore star sector, after receiving the order from the Supreme Command, Galactic Empire fleet avoided fighting and withdrew from the star area. When Kingdom of Dawn fleet was planning to pursue them, their headquarters Akiva was suddenly attacked by an unknown fleet, and Fleet Commander had to return for reinforcements.

At the same time, after defeating Admiral Qiyala's main fleet in the direction of Chiss territory, Lieutenant General Thrawn became famous among the Galactic Empire's army like a supernova. While Dunn-Vesex was overjoyed, they also sent more warships to Chiss territory as much as possible, hoping that Lieutenant General Thrawn could further expand the results.

In this chaos, Galactic Empire was retreating steadily. They continued to retreat in the border area and gave up a large area of the planet. Imperial fleet has been defeated in almost every battle, and their rule in Outer Rim of the galaxy is in jeopardy.

The territory of Outer Rim Territories, which has been in turmoil since the war between the Galactic Empire and Trade Federation, is now truly under a fatal threat. Currently, less than half of the Outer Rim Territories that Galactic Empire can still control!

What's even more fatal is that under such circumstances, even Hutt Space's attitude began to become ambiguous!
