2696, back road
King of the North Dunn-Vesex finally failed to defend Bilbrin Planet, but the main responsibility for this battle did not lie with him.
Kingdom of Dawn's strategic deception had a very remarkable effect, successfully making Galactic Empire's Intelligence Department gate make a wrong judgment.
In essence, the reason why this strategic deception was successful is that Kingdom of Dawn's endless emergence of cutting-edge technologies has made it impossible for the Galactic Empire's military, intelligence and other departments to make correct judgments.
When a math problem is full of unknown numbers, you cannot find a known number. What is before Imperial Intelligence Bureau now is something like x+y=? Such a topic.
However, for such a disastrous defeat, someone still has to take the blame. Emperor Palpatine has personally gone to Palanci Planet, preparing to fight Tang Xiao again, and the fleets of Oswald-Tessik have also advanced here. Of course, the responsibility for the defeat cannot be on their side, although it stands to reason that they should be responsible for the slowness of the raid.
It is not appropriate to let Dunn-Vesex take the blame. On the one hand, he also recovered the former the Empire Eighth Army's capital, the planet Ord-Mantle, and also obtained a bare star gate, which was the only result in this series of battles. On the other hand, now that Bilbrin Planet has been captured, the strategic importance of the Northern Territory Legion will decrease. In other words, if Dunn-Vesex really wants to separatist forces, it will be really difficult to stop Galactic Empire.
Therefore, not only cannot Dunn-Vesex take the blame, but he must also be coaxed.
Imperial Intelligence Bureau cannot take the blame, Intelligence Bureau Director Isanne-Isard is now Emperor Palpatine The number one thug under her command is borrowing her hand to deal with those Core Worlds elite class. If she takes the blame, it will cause Core Worlds elite class, who is just being suppressed to the point of being unable to raise his head, to raise his head again.
So the final result, after going full circle, ended up with Bilbrin Planet's highest ranking Commander Lieutenant General Dharmala Holken as the primary person responsible for the defeat.
Although by the time the pot was divided, Lieutenant General Dalmara Holken had already died in Bilbrin Planet. Looking at this battle, he actually did everything he was supposed to do, and many things were truly beyond his capabilities.
However, a fiasco of such a scale only ended up with a lieutenant general taking the responsibility, which was inevitably a bit of a joke for the Galactic Empire.
Therefore, during this battle, the Empire major media mouthpieces lost their voices one after another. For a time, the word Bilbrin Planet became taboo, and the influence of the defeat was forcibly suppressed.
Now, the good news has just spread that Dunn-Vesex, who has reoccupied the planet Oud-Mantel, is also horrified to find that although he has occupied the planet Oud-Mantel, he does not dare to stay here at all!
The army of Kingdom of Dawn is at Bilbrin Planet at the moment, and the star gate has been completed. This extremely powerful fleet may rush out from Bilbrin Planet at any time and directly return to the planet Oud-Mantel!
However, now he is very embarrassed, because he has just been awarded Nebula Medal by the Galactic Empire in recognition of his achievements in recovering the planet Oud-Mantel. It would be a bit unjustifiable to spit out the results of the victory directly at this time.
You know, some voices inside the Empire have already boasted that Dunn-Vesex is Northern Territory God of War! After all, even though Northern Territory lost troops and generals during this period, the few times he achieved successful results were all Commander's.
Whether it was the previous victory over Sefrans-Tann or the recovery of the planet Oud-Mantle this time, these are all resounding achievements.
But he didn't dwell on it for too long.
Kingdom of Dawn fleet, under the personal leadership of Tang Xiao, soon launched another attack. Even though the ground battle on Bilbrin Planet is not over yet, Tang Xiao still requires General Trench to immediately march on Palanci Planet.
General Trench expressed his opposition to this plan. He believes that directly going south to attack Palanci Planet is equivalent to directly telling Galactic Empire that his target is the financial center Scipio, and it is too early to attack Scipio now, which may allow the Empire to further strengthen the defense there.
However, his objections were not adopted. Tang Xiao pushed back his opinions and ordered that we must march immediately!
General Trench had to organize a force including 120 battleships, 400 Heavy Cruiser, and 700 small and medium-sized warships to attack Palanci Planet. And here, Galactic Empire is gathering heavy troops, with more than 800 capital ships, and one Executor-class Super Star Destroyer - Reaper!
There is almost no pause, Battle of Palanci starts!
This time Kingdom of Dawn fleet is facing the core and most elite fleet of the Galactic Empire - First System Army!
Not only that, for this battle, Geth warship, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared in the fleet attacking Palanci Planet. For this offensive, Geth brought 150 King of Kings-class Battlecruiser! Among them, only 100 are consumables, and the other 50 are complete units Throne-class used for frontal combat!
What's more important is that Emperor Palpatine is also in Palanci Planet's fleet at the moment! The outbreak of this battle was another direct confrontation between Palpatine and Tang Xiao!
Seeing such a formation, Dunn-Vesex finally breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that the planet Oude Mantle was temporarily safe. So, he returned to Imperial Center with his results and began his own political operations.
He sees the situation at Northern Territory more clearly than anyone else.
With Tang Xiao and Palpatine confronting each other in person at Palanci Planet, this war has nothing to do with Northern Territory. In other words, he has completed the task of blocking Kingdom of Dawn in his own jurisdiction, but he just said that the task failed.
The best part is that although the mission failed, it didn't fail in an ugly way - at least not in publicity terms.
The next stage of the war will be a struggle between Kingdom of Dawn and Core Worlds, which has little to do with him, the ruler of Mid Rim and Outer Rim Territories.
Dunn-Vesex returned to Imperial Center and began to continuously create his own "Northern Territory God of War" persona. He began to attend various cocktail parties and banquets continuously, and traveled among the Core Worlds major Noble House dignitaries to expand his influence.
Vessex family comes from Core Worlds, so it can be considered as one of our own. It's just that before Dunn-Vesex, his family was not considered a top wealthy family.
His rise as King of the North was precisely because of the invasion of Geth, which allowed him to seize the opportunity to build Northern Defense Line, and using common defense as an excuse, he gradually brought the 7th, 8th, and 10th legions other than Ninth Army under his control. The governors of those three legions are all his people.
And because the threat of Northern Territory is too great, and the behavior of Geth involves anti-humanity, anti-civilization, and genocide, Dunn-Vesex has received a lot of support.
The combination of him and Kuat Drive Yards's Chief Engineer Lila-Blythex also led to the strong alliance between Kuat and Northern Territory, allowing him to become Galactic Empire's leading military and political official in this universe.
Now, Dunn-Vesex has to start looking for a way out for himself.
