2746. Be loyal to the country
Oswald-Tessik buried his head deeply into the palm of his hand, and let out a low and suppressed sob under the cover of his palm. His knuckles turned white from the exertion. He sat alone in the dark command room and stayed for a long time.
After that, he asked the living robot to bring him some more stimulating medicine and food, and restored his condition a little before letting his subordinate Chief of Staff come in.
"Just received the order from the military department, First System Army will continue to execute Goalkeeper Plan, counterattack Palanci Planet, and Bilbrin Planet." Oswald-Tessik said slowly, "In addition, Dominion Super Star Destroyer will return to Coruscant."
Chief of Staff was silent for a moment and said, "If Northern Territory's fleet agrees to join us in attacking Separatists, I think at least we can still recover Palanci Planet. As for Bilbrin Planet, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"I think it is impossible for Northern Fleet to act together with us." Oswald-Tessik said, "The reasons given by Dunn-Vesex are very sufficient. At present, Kingdom of Dawn is threatening the planet Palin-Minor, he must ensure that Northern Territory is safe and sound. Otherwise, once Kingdom of Dawn breaks through Northern Territory, they will no longer have any worries, and the north of the Empire will face a devastating military threat."
Chief of Staff said angrily, "This is bullshit! We all know that it is absolutely impossible for Kingdom of Dawn to have the force to threaten the Palin-Minor planet and the direction of Core Worlds at the same time!"
"The problem is that His Majesty the Emperor will listen to what Dunn-Vesex says, but he may not believe what we say." Marshal Tessik said, "So, the only thing we can do is It is to fight to the death with Kingdom of Dawn and use the lives of countless soldiers under our command to prove our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. Every battleship and every soldier will be turned into proof of the Empire's loyalty."
"What did we do wrong?" Chief of Staff's tone was filled with sadness.
"Failure to share your Majesty's worries is our biggest fault." Marshal Tessik said coldly, "Let's start preparations for combat and execute...Goalkeeper Plan!"
Chief of Staff shook his head and said, "Now we still need to collect the three squadrons that retreated from the direction of Palanci Planet, and we also need to send more fleets to block Reecee Planet (Reecee), Borleias Planet (Borleias), Uviuy Planet (Uviuy) and many other fronts! How can there be enough mobile troops to counterattack!?"
"Abandon defense and attack directly. Change the defense of Scipio and let the retreating squadron rest here. Then I will personally lead the main force to attack Palanci Planet!" Oswald-Tessik said decisively, "We have two Executor-class Super Star Destroyer. There is still a chance for this battle!"
Chief of Staff thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Marshal Tessik continued, "Let the border outpost monitor Kingdom of Dawn fleet's movements as much as possible and withdraw the fleet that went to make up for the defense. The farther Kingdom of Dawn rushes, the more beneficial it is to us! Go and execute it!"
"Yes!"
After Chief of Staff exited, Marshal Tessik was left alone here. He raised his head and stared at the dark ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Imperial Center, Royal Palace, Throne Room.
Palpatine stood next to the tall throne, gently stroking the throne made of rare materials. The material was strong and moist, making it very comfortable to sit on.
"Tell me. Why... why are there so many fools, one after another, risking their lives for this thing?" Palpatine showed a twisted smile.
"Because those young people haven't killed enough." Das-Vader's dull voice sounded, "This makes many of them think they have a chance."
"Jiejiejiejie... I see. You are right, Das...Vader. Jiejie Jiejie..." Palpatine smiled strangely, and then his expression suddenly condensed, and he asked in a low voice, "Then, can you tell me... I asked you to stand by around Coruscant system... What makes you so late?"
"Technological Alliance participated in this rebellion, and I received the news that Skako declared independence." Das-Vader said in a deep voice.
"Oh! You came just in time! Just when I was taking control of the situation, you just appeared... Jie Jie Jie Jie. Could it be that this is your keen judgment?" Palpatine mocked.
"Skako's rebellion is of great concern. After I arranged the fleet deployment as quickly as possible, I rushed to Coruscant." Das-Vader said.
"Thanks to your timely arrival, Zaarin's rebellion failed. I must reward you greatly for your loyalty, Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
"This is my duty, and I dare not ask for any reward."
Palpatine walked down the steps slowly, his eyes glowing in the shadows, "What's your job? Oh, right, what's your job... Jie Jie Jie Jie."
Das-Vader did not speak, only the heavy breathing kept sounding.
Huh... chih...
Huh... chih...
Huh... chih...
"Goalkeeper Plan, what do you think?" Palpatine suddenly changed the topic.
"This plan is very aggressive and may be dangerous." Das-Vader said slowly, "First System Army was originally supposed to be used for the defense of Coruscant."
"But how can you win without taking risks? This should be your favorite strategy, isn't it? Anakin...Skywalker. Jiejiejiejie..." Palpatine He gave out a distorted and dark smile again, "Also, although Coruscant's defense is extremely empty, if this place is threatened, you will definitely lead your army back as soon as possible and come to fight side by side with me, right? Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
"For your safety, Lord, I will do my best to protect you." Das-Vader replied.
"Very good... very~~~good~~~~~! Hahahahaha." Palpatine laughed, and his voice was very long, "Go and let the flame of Skako light up the prologue of Goalkeeper Plan! Hahahaha!"
"As ordered." Das-Vader knelt down on one knee, saluted respectfully, and then withdrew.
The black Lambda-class shuttlecraft soared into the sky, and Das-Vader stood in front of the porthole, looking through the tempered glass in the direction of the metallic Coruscant and Imperial Palace.
"Go and find out what the so-called 'Shadow Hand' (Shadow Hand) is." Das-Vader said slowly, "Where is the Fifth Army of the Galactic Empire? How is it organized?"
"As you command... my lord." A vague figure wearing a black robe suddenly appeared behind him, kneeling on one knee.
As the words fell, the figure suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Das-Vader always remained standing still. He looked at Coruscant, and his heavy breathing sounded rhythmically.
Huh... chih...
Huh... chih...
Huh... chih...
Palanci Planet, Kingdom of Dawn Northern Fleet station.
An intelligence officer walked quickly inside Archangel Titan warship. The bridge command center was extremely busy today. A large number of people were walking around. Everyone was holding a large amount of documents and performing their duties continuously.
The intelligence officer came to the console and said eagerly to General Trench: "General! Military Intelligence Department is calling urgently. Galactic Empire may launch a general attack on Palanci Planet in the near future."
