2539. Deploy troops and generals

In the end, Kingdom of Dawn Supreme Military Command made the decision to mobilize warships from various theaters and then form a hunting fleet, preparing to hunt the Eye of Palpatine.

However, since they still don't know the name of this super battleship, they named this plan - "Operation Meteor".

At present, Kingdom of Dawn's local defense force is still divided into two major centers: north and south.

Northern Territory war zone takes Makito as the core, Commerce Guild Fleet composed of Mega-corporations such as Fourth Group, InterGalactic Banking Clan (M), Trade Federation, Tyran Heavy Industries, etc., plus the power of Geth. Now that Chiss territory is basically stable, it has also become an important force for Northern Territory war zone.

At present, the power of Northern Territory war zone is divided into two parts. The first is Makito, the real core of Northern Territory. This position is relatively backward and is the political, economic and industrial center of Northern Territory.

Kingdom of Dawn Northern Fleet is currently stationed on the planet Oud-Mantel. Galactic Empire used to be the capital of the Eighth Army. It is relatively close to the front line and is Northern Territory The transportation artery is very convenient whether you are planning to go south to threaten the financial center Scipio of the galaxy Imperial Core Worlds, or go east to threaten the capital of Galactic Empire's Northern Territory, the planet Palin-Minor.

The core of the Southern Territory war zone is still Eriadu, but because in the previous stage of the war, Kingdom of Dawn advanced more smoothly in Southern Territory, which has threatened Core Worlds. Therefore, Kingdom of Dawn's fleet in this direction has basically been deployed near the border, and is also divided into two parts.

One of the parts is deployed in Kira planet, which was once an important military base of the Galactic Empire. Through here, Galactic Empire's defense line in Denon Planet can be suppressed. And Denon Planet is also the portal of the Galactic Empire Inner Rim and Core Worlds. Before, during Clone Wars, General Grievous had reached here the farthest.

The other part is Fondor Planet. As one of the largest industrial worlds in the galaxy, after being occupied by Kingdom of Dawn, Fondor Planet quickly relied on its huge industrial production capacity to become the most important strategic core of Kingdom of Dawn. This place is already in the Milky Way Core Worlds, and with its own strong production capacity, Kingdom of Dawn's most powerful main fleet is deployed here.

With the gradual expansion of Kingdom of Dawn production capacity, the construction speed of warships has also begun to accelerate. However, when Northern Territory suffered heavy losses before, it was still difficult to create a main fleet out of thin air.

In order to assemble this fleet, Kingdom of Dawn also began to mobilize troops from various theaters.

The first deployment is to let three Titan warship move forward. Archangel Titan warship has basically completed the repairs, but there are still some areas that have not been completed, so we drove out of Titan shipyard directly and went directly to the Ord-Mantel planet to station and continue the repair work on the spot.

In the direction of Fondor Planet, Taowu Titan warship continues to guard, while Xuanwu Titan warship is redeployed in Kira planet.

Not only that, Tang Xiao's special blood-red Luukri-Hok-class battleship - Red Comet also made a very high-profile public appearance in Kingdom of Dawn and conducted a military parade.

Although this battleship is completely unable to exert its combat effectiveness without Tang Xiao, at least it can be used to scare people.

This kind of mobilization did make Imperial military feel very nervous. They were worried that Kingdom of Dawn would launch another attack. Therefore, he quickly prepared his fleets everywhere and sent reinforcements to several defenses Core Worlds.

Kingdom of Dawn, on the other hand, began to mobilize troops back to Dawn Star Planet for regrouping.

Ten days later, a powerful fleet including 150 battleships, 200 Heavy Cruiser, and 1,000 Light Cruiser was assembled and ready to set off.

This fleet is completely organized according to the most ideal fleet formation, including 10 battleships Sova-class Carrier, 3 Consul-class aircraft carrier, 10 Divinity-class battleship, 40 Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser, and Calamity-class 0 There are 50 ships of and Paladin-class battlecruiser, 20 ships of Typhoon-class battlecruiser, 10 ships of Durov-class Battlecruiser, 5 ships of Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruiser, 15 ships of Behemoth-class battlecruiser, and 5 ships of Luukri-Hok-class battleship.

At the same time, the 200 Heavy Cruiser are all miniaturized second-generation warships, including Minotaur-class, Kohl II-class, Marauder II-class, Aiken II-class and other models. These Heavy Cruiser all have combat capabilities comparable to thousand-meter-class battleships!

The fleet is already in place, and officers at all levels have begun to enter their posts and start pre-war training.

But Fleet Commander is still not confirmed.

Currently General Trench is in charge of Northern Territory war zone, Ling Liang needs to be in charge of Fondor Planet, General Grievous is in Eastern Territory, Admiral Qiyala guard Chiss territory, Sefrans-Marshal Tann are still imprisoned in the dungeon and have not recovered yet. Therefore, it seems that Kingdom of Dawn, the most advanced Commander, cannot find anyone to perform this task yet.

Cyphar Planet, outer space.

A small fleet is stationed here, monitoring the movements of the planet at all times. And if there is a problem in the surrounding star area, this fleet can also provide reinforcements as soon as possible.

The uprising of Cyphar Planet has subsided. This garrison is mainly to guard against possible liberal movements in the surrounding areas.

At the fleet flagship command center, a female officer wearing a dark blue military uniform, a white shirt underneath, and a one-step skirt of the same color walked in quickly.

The epaulettes showed that she was Navy Colonel, and she was a front-line Fleet Commander, not Logistics Department or Staff Department where most female soldiers were.

She has a beautiful face, with long brown hair tied into a braid hanging behind her head, and a pair of glasses on her face, which makes her look even more bookish. But the most eye-catching thing is the pair of peaks on the chest, which attracts the attention of many male officers.

This female officer came to the door of Commander's office. When the orderly saw her, he saluted and said, "Colonel von Liss."

Feng Lisi nodded with a smile and said in a sweet voice, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. The information required by General Lin Nanyi has been prepared. Please inform me."

The orderly also smiled and said, "No, General Lin Nanyi has been waiting for you for a long time. You can just go in."

With that said, he opened the door.

Feng Lisi walked into the office and saw Lieutenant General Lin Nanyi, known as the Kingdom of Dawn Navy male god, sitting at his desk, reading the documents in front of him.

"General Lin Nanyi, this is the opinion poll report of the surrounding planets in the past month." Feng Lisi walked over and handed over the document in her hand.

Lin Nanyi smiled and said, "You and I don't have to be so reserved. And... you shouldn't be the one to prepare this report. You are Fleet Commander, not a civilian employee."

Feng Lisi smoothed her braid and said, "Anyway, I am idle, and you are my immediate boss. How can I not please you? Our 1097th Escort Fleet is waiting for you to give us bonuses."

"It must be the relationship between your father and me... Take this opportunity of logistics and transportation to transfer your escort fleet to my defense zone." Lin Nanyi said.

"Then I don't know. I just obeyed the orders of my superiors." Feng Lisi smiled, "So you see, I have helped you handle the documents. Is there any bonus?"

"Bonus... let's make sure not to get scolded first." Lin Nanyi smiled bitterly, "Moda Planet is there another global strike?"

"This is inevitable. The last round of public opinion polls has made it very clear. But those people at least have some self-awareness. They only ask for higher wages and lower working hours, but they do not dare to really jump out and launch an uprising." Feng Lisi said.

"Okay. Then, Moda Planet, I'll give you a hard trip. 1097 Escort Fleet, stationed at Moda Planet, and shock all those with evil intentions. Then send representatives to negotiate with them." Lin Nanyi said.

The answer to him was only silence.

Lin Nanyi raised his head and looked at Feng Lisi and asked, "Do you have anything else?"

Feng Lisi stood there with a complicated expression. She opened her mouth and hesitated to speak.

Lin Nanyi saw this, smiled, stood up, walked around the desk, patted her back gently, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

In the military, this was the most intimate gesture he could do. Although the two of them were not dating in this way when they were dating in private.

"I heard that Dawn Star Planet is mobilizing the fleet again recently, and it seems that there is a big combat operation." Feng Lisi bit her lower lip and said, "But they let you suppress the rebellion in this remote star area? This is not fair! Obviously you should be the person with the most combat experience besides those Admiral of the Navy!"

Lin Nanyi's expression was a little sad at that moment, but he still comforted him, "Suppressing the rebellion is still a very important task. Even Darth Vader over there at the Galactic Empire, doesn't he always take his Death Squadron everywhere to put out fires?"

"The situation is completely different, okay! And I know that the reason why they threw you here is not because of Sefrans-Tann." Feng Liz said angrily, "But Marshal Tann failed, what does it have to do with you? Just because you were promoted by her?"

"Maybe this is what is called politics." Lin Nanyi's smile was a little forced.

Feng Lisi turned around to face him. The towering peaks almost touched Lin Nanyi's chest. She said seriously, "You should know better than me. This is a main fleet, and it is a standardized formation based on the future Navy operational planning! This is an epoch-making combat operation! Are you willing to miss this opportunity and stay here to counter the rebellion?"

Her voice gradually increased, "Our stage should be the sea of stars, a cosmic battlefield raging with war! We shouldn't be standing here, remotely controlling those huge turrets to aim at civilians who don't meet their wages! When you were at the Naval Academy, was this the future you planned for yourself?"

Lin Nanyi's expression gradually became cold, and he interrupted coldly, "That's enough! What you said has already crossed the line."

Feng Lisi stared into his eyes and said word by word, "There is no crossing the line. What I am talking about is the matter between the two of us. Do you want us to be a district sheriff couple? Or a heroic couple who have bathed in the flames of war and made great achievements? No matter how you choose, I will follow you until the end."

Lin Nanyi was silent. He silently returned to his seat at his desk and sat down. He supported his chin with his hands and began to think deeply.

Indeed, he was unwilling to do so.

He is not yet 30 years old, but he is already known as Lieutenant General, and he has had the experience of independently commanding fleet operations many times during Clone Wars. It can be said that he is Kingdom of Dawn Navy's rising star and future star.

However, as Sefrans-Marshal Tann was defeated by Admiral Thrawn of the Galactic Empire in Northern Territory, and then went to jail, he, who was promoted by Tann, was also implicated. Although there is no direct accountability, Lin Nanyi, who has always been considered to be the person from Sefrans-Tann, has naturally been relegated to the sidelines.

In fact, this is a normal thing for the political ecology within a country and the military. Basically, if you wait for a while and wait for the storm to pass, and you really don't have any principled issues, then the matter will basically be over, and whatever happens next will be done.

But for Lin Nanyi, it is not.

There are too many Halos in him, and he is only a young man in his early 30s. He is not willing to give in! He is not willing to be given up like this, and he is absolutely unwilling to believe that this is temporary!

Politics is not something that a passionate general like him with Halo wants to consider.

Feng Lisi's eyes became firm. She walked behind Lin Nanyi, gently rubbed his stiff shoulders, and said softly, "Send a message to my father - Jin Hao. He should be able to get this opportunity for you..."

Lin Nanyi raised his hand and reached for an encrypted communicator placed aside, hesitating a little. But after a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and grabbed the communicator.

Kingdom of Dawn General Staff Headquarters conference room.

"This time Meteor Plan's Commander candidate... are you sure it's Malcolm-Lieutenant General Granger?" Chief of Staff Qi Jian said while looking at the report in front of him.

"Judging from the recent local combat situation, Malcolm-Lieutenant General Granger performed better than Tom Vance who was promoted to Lieutenant General in the same period. This operation should also give him a chance." Commander of the Navy Matt-Hona said.

"What do you think?" Qi Jian looked at the other people in the conference room.

"Chief of Staff, I think there is something wrong with this appointment." Deputy Chief of Staff Winston-McCar took out another report and said, "This is a personnel report made by several departments here. In fact, according to this report, the best candidate should be Vice Admiral Lin Nanyi."

Qi Jian shook his head directly and said, "At this stage, it is better not to use Lin Nanyi. After all, Sefrans-Tann is now in a guilty state, and it is best for Lin Nanyi to avoid suspicion for a while. This is also for his own good, and there will be less gossip in the army."

"But neither Malcolm Granger nor Tom Vance have experience in commanding large-scale fleet operations, and this time it is the expedition Eastern Outer Rim, and the surrounding political environment is also very complicated. I am worried that problems will arise if it is handed over to them." Winston Macca said.

"What Deputy Staff Officer McCaar said does make some sense... Show me Lin Nanyi's analysis report." Matt-Hona said.

He took the report, which was full of praise for Lin Nanyi, and began to think deeply.
