2651. Terrified King of the North
When Galactic Empire's fleet retreated from the planet Oud-Mantel, it was relatively orderly. After all, Admiral Gillard-Perine had already made arrangements before, and he was strict in running the army and had high requirements for military discipline. But even so, Galactic Empire still lost about 100 battleships and nearly 300 Light Cruiser troops during the retreat.
The reason for such high battle losses is that during the retreat, all battleships that were damaged and whose maneuverability was affected were either captured by Kingdom of Dawn or destroyed.
But Imperial fleet's nightmare was not over yet. After their large force retreated, they were horrified to find that Archangel Titan warship and Taowu Titan warship had followed them! And it is faster than many the Empire battleships that have set off before!
The war immediately spread to Kinasar Planet behind the planet Ord-Mantel. Archangel Titan warship chased Imperial fleet and fought fiercely. However, the warships on the Galactic Empire's side did not dare to fight, even if there were only two warships on the opposite side.
Imperial fleet officers and soldiers at all levels have no fighting the Will at all. What's even more terrible is that after Archangel Titan warship arrived at Kinasar Planet, they immediately launched Hyperspace Beacon!
This means that more Kingdom of Dawn battleships will follow, and in this state, Imperial fleet is completely unable to resist.
The retreat quickly turned into a rout. The Galactic Empire battleships retreating from Kinasar Planet were completely disorganized. They just tried to distance themselves as much as possible, and then started the hyperspace engine as quickly as possible to escape from this hell.
The one who runs first survives, the one who runs later suffers. After the break? Doesn't exist.
General Trench commanded the fleet to pursue and fight fiercely, and won a great victory at Kinasar Planet, destroying more than 60 capital ships.
When the remaining Galactic Empire fleet returned to the Palin-Minor planet, out of the 450 capital ships and 2,000 small and medium-sized warships at the time of departure, only less than 300 capital ships and more than 1,300 small and medium-sized warships remained, a loss of nearly one-third! More than 2.4 million navy soldiers died in action!
And the greater loss is that Northern Military Commander, Admiral of the Navy Gillard-Perine were seriously injured during the battle, and were sent to the hospital immediately after returning to the planet Palin-Minor.
The two battles Bilbrin Planet's surprise attack and the Ord-Mantel planet's defensive counterattack gave Imperial military a great shock.
Because these two battles, at least in terms of combat organization and battle process, cannot be said to be disastrous defeats at all. In addition to causing a rout in Kinasar Planet, Imperial fleet also retreated in an orderly manner elsewhere.
Compared with the Clone Wars period and the previous real disastrous defeats such as Kira planet and Fondor Planet, these two battles can only be said to be small losses at best.
But the result was extremely tragic!
A total of more than 230 capital ships, more than 1,900 small and medium-sized warships were lost in the two battles, and nearly 5 million naval soldiers were killed! This is equivalent to wiping out the military personnel of a planet with a population of hundreds of millions! Moreover, those who are recruited into Imperial Navy are all the best among the best, and it takes more than ten or twenty years to train them!
If you think about it carefully, as a high-tech technical equipment like Imperial-class Star Destroyer, to become an operator, you must have received about 15 years of education since childhood, and you may have been an outstanding student in the class. After entering Naval Academy with excellent results, he ranked among the best among everyone's envious eyes. Finally, he was selected by the Navy and transferred to the second- and third-tier fleets to serve.
Then he continued to accumulate experience in the battle against pirates and Rebel Alliance. Then, he had the opportunity to enter the service of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the symbol of the Galactic Empire.
But for such an outstanding talent that took nearly twenty years to cultivate, a good child in the eyes of his parents and a model husband in the eyes of his wife, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them will disappear in the shooting of Archangel Titan warship and Doomsday Weapon!
The current Galactic Empire Navy is no longer the same as the Galactic Republic Army in the Clone Wars period. From top to bottom, they are all recruits who lack training. The current Galaxy Imperial army are all professional soldiers who have grown up in batches under a strict and precise system.
However, the more this happens, the more desperate the results of these two battles become.
This further illustrates that without Executor-class Super Star Destroyer present, even if the ordinary fleet has an absolute numerical advantage, it is no match for Kingdom of Dawn fleet with Titan warship!
It also shows that the gap in technical strength between the two sides is getting wider and wider!
Dunn-Vesex, who was in charge of the overall situation on the planet Palin-Minor, suffered several blows in succession. First, his beloved Lila Super Star Destroyer was killed by His Majesty the Emperor Taken away, I don't know what happened. The battleship was transferred to the surface of Doku Planet, and the damage was quite serious. Now a large number of engineering teams are trying to find ways to install temporary propulsion devices on the battleship, hoping to pull the spacecraft back into space.
Then two Titan warship attacked Bilbrin Planet, and Horst-General Strege were killed in less than two hours of contact.
Then two Titan warship suddenly appeared on the planet Oud-Mantel in a short period of time, catching the generals Gillard-Perine by surprise and defeating them. General Gillard-Perine was seriously injured.
Dunn-Vesex was almost furious and cursed wildly in his office. He cursed Horst-General Strege for being a waste for giving him so many fleets. As a result, the defense line was full of loopholes, and he himself was included in it.
He cursed Gillard-Perine for not listening to his command and being careless. He had told him not to rush out to attack the planet Oud-Mantel before, but he didn't listen and must contain the opponent's fleet. Now, one-third of the fleet was wiped out in the first battle. How can he fight in the future?
What about His Majesty the Emperor that lost Lila? Dunn-Vesex didn't dare to scold, even if there was no one around. God knows if there are any informants or something around, who will spread his words to His Majesty's ears.
Then, Dunn-Vesex responded quickly. He ordered Lieutenant General Dagon-Niel on Bilbrin Planet to immediately abandon Bilbrin Planet and withdraw the entire army to the planet Palin-Minor.
And he immediately asked his secretary to write a report that exaggerated the current situation of the war. The report claimed that because Lila Super Star Destroyer was unable to fight, the two Separatist fleet's Titan warship were ravaging the battlefield unstoppably. Therefore, in order to ensure that To ensure the security of Northern Territory's territory and prevent more Draon Planet from falling into the hands of Separatists, he must retreat to the planet Palin-Minor, and require Imperial Supreme Battle Command to dispatch more warships as soon as possible for reinforcements.
He also specifically mentioned that the reinforcements he needs are best Executor-class Super Star Destroyer.
At the same time, Dunn-Vesex also began to mobilize a large number of warships from other places to return to the Palin-Minor planet. He mobilized at least one-third of the defense fleet. It is expected that in two weeks, the number of capital ships on the Palin-Minor planet will increase to 800.
Coupled with the battleships transferred back from Bilbrin Planet, the strength of more than 1,000 battleships will give him a sufficient sense of security.
However, at this time, Lieutenant General Dagon-Niel sent a message. He said that Bilbrin Planet and Kingdom of Dawn fleet are currently increasing their infrastructure construction. Their forward base is getting larger and larger, and they have also found several asteroids that are completely made of metal, and have been mining them on a large scale.
Not only that, Dagon-Niel discovered that Kingdom of Dawn fleet was even building a large stellar energy collector, which clearly meant that he wanted to stay here for a long time.
Dagon-Niel hereby suggests that it is best to launch an attack now. Because Bilbrin system is in orbit near the fifth planet, most of the transport ships traveling to and from Kingdom of Dawn fleet are infrastructure equipment rather than resources needed for combat. In addition, Archangel Titan warship is no longer here, and without Hyperspace Beacon, the navigation of Kingdom of Dawn fleet will become very difficult.
This is the best opportunity to attack. As long as Kingdom of Dawn's forward base is destroyed in one fell swoop and enough of their transport ships and engineering ships are shot down, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the opponent.
To be fair, Lieutenant General Dagon-Niel's attack plan actually has a high probability of success, because even Kingdom of Dawn's Northern Territory commander-in-chief General Trench is very worried about the situation of Bilbrin Planet.
But Kingdom of Dawn is also very difficult here. There is only one Archangel-class Titan Warship, and there is only one Hyperspace Beacon. At the same time, Bilbrin Planet is an important hub for the next attack on the Galactic Empire's financial core Scipio. In order to prepare for future large-scale offensives, he could only bite the bullet and expand infrastructure as much as possible despite insufficient troops.
General Trench also ordered the fleet of Bilbrin Planet to defend the line of defense as much as possible, at least not to allow the forward base to be destroyed. If it doesn't work, he will lead Titan warship to come back for reinforcements.
But now Titan warship's priority is to attack the Palin-Minor planet, suppress Northern Fleet of Dunn-Vesex, and make sure that he dare not move. Only then will he suddenly make a U-turn and insert Scipio directly from Bilbrin Planet!
Although Ander-Viking who proposed this plan told General Trench not to worry, Dunn-Vesex would not have the courage. As long as the planet Palin-Minor is threatened, he will definitely retreat. However, General Trench, who is always cautious in his life, is still very careful so that Bilbrin Planet's fleet cannot slack off for a moment and defend as much as possible.
The current commander of Bilbrin Planet's fleet is a major general named Luo Huacheng. This person can also be regarded as a representative of the inspirational figures among Kingdom of Dawn, because he was first awakened as a Normal Class other architect. When he was awakened, Naboo Blockade had already exploded. His first task was to participate in the construction of Modell Sector.
But Luo Huacheng has always wanted to become a navy. For this reason, he continued to exercise after work and taught himself various military knowledge, and finally got his wish.
Join Kingdom of Dawn Navy.
Luo Huacheng has always been a subordinate of General Trench. During Clone Wars, Luo Huacheng followed General Trench mainly in the army of Confederacy of Independent Systems and was one of the members of the Staff Department.
During the war, Luo Huacheng was recognized by General Trench for his outstanding performance, and he also benefited a lot from Trench. So after the last Northern Territory Campaign ended, General Mar-Tuk was killed, and Sefrans-Marshal Tann was beaten to self-isolation, Luo Huacheng followed General Trench to Northern Territory.
At that time, Northern Territory was also at the time of employment, and Luo Huacheng was promoted and became Rear Admiral. This time, when General Trench led Titan warship to raid the planet Ord-Mantel, Luo Huacheng finally got the opportunity to independently command Bilbrin Planet's fleet.
His mission is to secure the defense line while accelerating infrastructure construction as much as possible, so that when Bilbrin Planet launches a general attack, Kingdom of Dawn fleet can get enough support here.
Facing the ready-to-move Galactic Empire fleet, Major General Luo Huacheng had very few troops, only half of the opposite Lieutenant General Dagon-Niel, and his fleet had just experienced a big battle, and the battleships were not in the best condition. This made him very nervous every time he received information about Imperial fleet's actions.
Fortunately, Ander-Viking's judgment of Dunn-Vesex is very accurate - as long as enough pressure is put on the Palin-Minor planet, this loser will never take any risky behavior.
On May 24, Luo Huacheng received intelligence and detected that Imperial fleet warships began to leave Bilbrin Planet and return to the rear. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly ordered the rear to transport as much infrastructure equipment as possible, preferably a few more Dawn's Radiance-class mothership.
On May 25, King of Dawn Tang Xiao returned from the front line, but instead of going directly to the front line as originally planned, he returned to Makito and could not come out.
On May 28, Galaxy Emperor Palpatine also returned to Imperial Center. Similarly, he could not come out of seclusion again.
Supreme Leader on both sides all made high-profile claims before setting off that they would personally conquer the war and do whatever they wanted to the other party. However, as soon as the battle broke out, both of them went to the front line, and then immediately withdrew. Rumors began to spread that they had fought, but the result was that both sides suffered losses.
On May 30, a piercing siren sounded over the Galactic Empire Financial Center, the headquarters of the InterGalactic Banking Clan (S), and the Scipio where the the Empire vault is located!
According to the report from the frontline hyperspace outpost, a fleet appeared and began to destroy the Interdictor deployed along the hyperspace channel!
Around Scipio, there are some secret hyperspace channels controlled by Muun. When InterGalactic Banking Clan split, association co-chairman San Hill colluded with Geth and raided Scipio from a hidden channel, thus causing the association to split.
