2394. Bankruptcy of Operation Zero (Part 2)
However, Galactic Empire has an extremely profound foundation after all, and its current strength is still extremely strong. Things quickly took a turn for the better.
First of all, the first thing is that the Yago-Dur planet was exploded by Darth-Vader.
Although this explosion will take at least 55 years to truly destroy the Yago-Dur planet - by then, the grass on the Galactic Empire's grave may be thirty meters high.
But there is a very important significance, that is, the Yago-Dur planet can no longer be used as a military base.
A piece of the Yago-Dur planet was blown up, and the city Lower City was severely damaged. Considering the earthquakes that occurred at any time on the planet, it was too late to evacuate materials and personnel from the planet. How could it be possible to stockpile materials here?
Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the future, a large number of transport ships will gather towards the planet Yago-Dur and transfer a large number of people to Lothal Planet through the star gate.
This will take up a lot of transportation power, and at the same time, the supplies stored on the planet will also be consumed a lot. As a result, the Yago-Dur planet will no longer be able to maintain its huge industrial system.
With fewer supplies and no industrial system, the Yago-Dur planet will not be able to station a main fleet for a long time and can only serve as a transit station at best.
Now Kingdom of Dawn's headquarters on this front will be temporarily moved back to Kinyen.
Kinyen is the home planet of Gran. It has a certain industrial foundation and a large population. It is no problem to serve as the main fleet headquarters. But the problem is that if this place is used as the headquarters, it will be difficult to launch further attacks on the Galactic Empire.
Therefore, Kingdom of Dawn and the highest General Staff Headquarters began to discuss two options: first, capture Bestine IV (Bestine IV) as soon as possible, and then set the forward base at Bestine IV. Second, set the forward base at Fondor Planet.
This is not to say that Fondor Planet is not good, but because now Alexia-Ashford has established its own nest on Fondor Planet. No one knows how Fondor Planet's environment will change in the future, but Alexia once said that if the mother nest is established, then Fondor Planet will not be suitable for human habitation.
But now Alexia-Ashford was injured by Imperial Inquisitorius Grand Judge Hydra. She is sleeping in order to repair the damage, so she cannot directly verify it.
Moreover, after the planet Yago-Dur loses its function as a military base, there is another very serious problem, that is, the scope of activities of Galactic Empire's fleet will also become larger!
The current situation is probably this:
Although Sefrans-Tann and Darth-Vader have exchanged homes, in fact, there is still a relatively long distance between Fondor Planet and the planet Yago-Dur.
In terms of the current strength of both sides, Das-Vader has more than 2,200 capital ships and 13,000 small and medium-sized warships; Sefrans-Tann's Second Task Force has more than 800 capital ships and more than 4,000 small and medium-sized warships; Ling Liang's First Task Force has 200 capital ships and 1,200 small and medium-sized warships.
Such a huge force, especially Galactic Empire's side, is difficult to deploy on the battlefield of a planet. For example, when Darth-Vader attacks the planet Yago-Dur, when he has suppressed Ling Liang and First Task Force, if he swarms up and presses all the battleships here, then this can only be said to be extremely stupid.
The first big problem is the capacity of the hyperspace channel. The navigation of a very large fleet will intensify the fluctuations in hyperspace, making the navigation of subsequent warships extremely unstable. This results in temporary disruption of hyperspace lanes.
The huge fleet concentrated in one place brought huge logistical pressure. The most intuitive manifestation of the huge logistical pressure is more transport fleets and the stretched escort fleet. Not to mention the plan to land on the planet Yago-Dur!
Once the army begins to land, its consumption of supplies will be even greater. Heavy vehicles, ammunition, wounded people, etc. The demand for these supplies will make Logistics Department officials want to commit suicide one by one.
So in this way, whether it was interstellar pirates or the harassing fleet sent by Kingdom of Dawn, everyone would probably smile so hard that their back teeth were exposed, and then turn the Empire's logistics transportation line upside down.
Therefore, Das-Vader has established forward bases in the nine galaxies behind it. Except for Death Squadron, which is the main force, the other fleets are scattered among these nine galaxies. In this way, on the one hand, the logistics transportation line can be controlled and stabilized. On the other hand, the fleets can be supplied on-site, which will also reduce the pressure on transportation.
Even if the frontline battle fails, the troops in these forward bases can come to reinforce as soon as possible without delaying the fighter opportunity.
Moreover, it goes without saying that changing one supply line into nine supply lines will make the plan more stable. There is no need to worry about transportation capacity or hyperspace channel overload. Even the escort problem can be solved. It is perfect.
Therefore, starting from the planet Yago-Dur to Fondor Planet, a large star area in between is actually under the control of Darth-Vader.
The reason why Sefrans-Tann was able to raid Fondor Planet was that she actually took a different path. Das-Vader set out from Fondor Planet to attack the planet Yago-Dur. From the plane star map, it was attacking from north to south; while Sefrans-Tann was attacking the galaxy Imperial 12th Legion in the direction of Eastern Outer Rim before that. She rushed back all the way day and night, attacking from east to west.
And on the way to attack Fondor Planet, Sefrans-Tann also captured Bestine Planet. The logistics supplies for her attack on Fondor Planet were actually obtained from Bestine Planet. Because Bestine Planet is also an industrially developed planet with most of its surface covered by oceans and rich in products, it is still possible to support the Sefrans-Tann fleet in a short period of time.
This is also the reason why Sefrans-Tann has been very anxious when attacking Fondor Planet - because just relying on looting on Bestine Planet cannot support her fleet's operations for a long time. Even now, many riots have broken out on Bestine Planet, and Sefrans-Tann's control over this planet is constantly declining.
So it can be understood that as Fondor Planet was captured by Sefrans-Tann, and Das-Vader exploded the Yago-Dur planet, now the battle line between the two sides has become a situation where you are among me and you are among me, which is very complicated.
Dath-Vader has an advanced base in nine galaxies, and Sefrans-Tann also controls Fondor Planet and Bestine Planet. Now that they are restraining each other, they cannot continue to attack each other's hinterland, nor can they completely ignore the existence of the other party's fleet. If there is a decisive battle between the fleets, neither side is willing, so the situation becomes a circle around each other.
On January 27, Sefrans-Tann attacked Das-Vader's forward base on Ghorman Planet. Death Squadron immediately went to reinforce, and the two sides fought outside Ghorman Planet.
The battle only lasted less than half a day. Tann lost 7 battleships and Das-Vader lost 23 battleships. After that, Death Squadron took the initiative to retreat. Ghorman Planet's forward base was destroyed by Orbital Bombardment of Sefrans-Tann.
