2754, Dantooine Meat Grinder(1)
"Enhancing the power of the army?!" Dunn-Vesex suddenly became enlightened when he heard this.
At this moment, under the influence of the spices, Miltin-Tarkel was extremely excited, and he poured out all his understanding of the battle situation.
Miltin-Tarkel are among the twelve marshals the Empire, whose ability to command the army is one of the best, and can almost be said to be second only to Oswald -Tessik. It can even be said that Marshal Tessik is better at large army operations, while Miltin-Tarkel has better tactical abilities.
After taking a large amount of Glitterstim, Force talent of Miltin-Tarkel began to appear. Through telepathy, he also understood in a very short period of time what Dunn-Vesex was worried about.
Telepathy is worth a thousand words. Miltin-Tarkel instantly understood the current situation of the Northern Territory battlefield and made an immediate judgment.
He held a delicate and beautiful girl in one hand, while he talked about his understanding of the situation as if to show off, describing everything in detail, and he was very proud of it.
Although those girls did not understand these military and national events, they still expressed their admiration very professionally, making Marshal Tarkel even more excited.
After Dunn-Vesex learned about Marshal Miltin-Tarkel's suggestion, he finally understood what he should do. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else. He waved, and more than a dozen beautiful girls in all their glory gathered over, completely surrounding Marshal Miltin-Tarkel, who was completely intoxicated.
Before leaving, he did not forget to give the manager next to him a wink.
Of course, these girls who served Marshal Miltin-Tarkel will all be cleared away later, leaving no trace. Even though these girls are the best, most beautiful and natural women selected from thousands of people and have undergone years of training, compared to the entire military and national affairs of the Empire, they are as insignificant as a speck of dust.
After arranging everything to ensure that Marshal Miltin-Tarkel would spend a night of ecstasy, Dunn-Vesex quickly left here and returned directly to his office, where the staff team drafted a combat plan overnight.
The next day, he rushed to Imperial Supreme Strategic Command without stopping and submitted this plan. According to this plan, Northern Territory Legion will launch a large-scale ground battle on the ground battlefield of Dantooine, aiming to completely eliminate Kingdom of Dawn's ground forces.
Once the plan is implemented, the ground war on Dantooine will be greatly expanded, which will attract Kingdom of Dawn to invest more power.
If the ground battle proceeds smoothly, then after recapturing Dantooine, Dunn-Vesex will be able to rebuild the military base on Dantooine and threaten Kingdom of Dawn's Northern Territory base camp - Makito from the side and rear.
If the ground battle does not go well, then Northern Territory Legion will use a Torpedo Spheres to break into the surface of the planet, conduct a thorough Orbital Bombardment on the planet, and completely blow up the surface of the planet!
This combat operation may result in the loss of a precious Torpedo Spheres, but it will be worthwhile for the entire battle. Because it will reduce the frontal pressure on the Palin-Minor planet and buy time for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
The combat plan was quickly approved, and Supreme Strategic Command assured Dunn-Vesex that sufficient army troops would set out within a week to support Northern Territory's combat operations.
Turn Dantooine completely into a human slaughterhouse!
Dantooine, if you look at the current scale, you would think that this is an inconspicuous planet with absolutely no value.
Because the number of residents on this planet is only 3.5 million. And in addition to the three major cities, there are many residents scattered in hundreds of small villages, engaged in a peaceful and comfortable farming life.
However, if the timeline is pushed forward 20,000 years, then Dantooine is an extremely powerful region!
This is one of the original temples of Jedi Order! Even if we continue to push the timeline forward, in that era when historical records were unclear, Dantooine was already the temple of the most original the Force organization.
Countless outstanding and powerful Jedi Master were born here, trained here, and meditated here. Among them, the highly controversial Jedi Master and Sith Lord - Das-Revan.
This place was once part of the territory of the Infinite Empire Rakatan. Because of its comfortable natural environment, it was also one of the Infinite Empire's important high-end colonial worlds. With its climatic conditions and abundant Force field, Dantooine is regarded as one of the most sacred stars in the universe.
Even Sith Empire, who emerged from Northeastern Territory, believes that Dantooine is unshakable - because there are at least several powerful beings living in seclusion here.
However, many Jedi Masters that came out of Dantooine are fallen to the Dark Side, the most famous of which are undoubtedly Das-Revan and Das-Malak.
Therefore, Jedi Order at that time believed that Force field of Dantooine had some mysterious properties that induced the tendency of Dark Side, so he gradually moved away from here.
Later, when Galactic Republic and Old Sith Empire started a war, Dantooine had gradually become deserted and was attacked by interstellar pirates. The planet gradually disappeared from the sight of the people.
Later, Galactic Republic set up several scientific research stations in Dantooine to excavate Jedi Order and Relics of the Infinite Empire in ancient times in order to find the lost knowledge.
Especially before the establishment of Galactic Republic, including before the first Jedi Civil War outbreak, the organizational structure of Jedi Order in ancient times and what their practice methods were, have been completely lost. The Relics on Dantooine is the most important one to unravel these mysteries and the only key to that period of annihilation in history.
There is also Infinite Empire, which can be said to be the last civilization that has some contact with Celestials.
Rakatan defeated Kilik Swarm supported by the Ones. What happened at that time that caused Kilik Swarm, which almost dominated the entire galaxy, to lose the war and degenerate into primitive bugs is unknown. However, the civilization of Rakatan still has great research value.
Pushing back the time, how did the battle on Dantooine break out?
It's actually quite dramatic.
Since the destruction of Jedi Order, New Jedi Order, which was rebuilt from the ruins of Galactic Republic, had previously wanted to cooperate with Kingdom of Dawn to re-establish Jedi Temple located in Ilum.
As part of the priority cooperation between the two parties, representatives from New Jedi Order came over - Luminara-Unduli told Tang Xiao that in Dantooine There are Relics for the Infinite Empire on, and Relics for the Infinite Empire Rakatan.
And the most important thing is that among Dantooine and Relics, it is very likely that there is the secret of Infinite Door!
You know, it was precisely because of mastering the secret of Infinite Door that Rakatan had the opportunity to defeat the almost invincible Kilik Swarm and once dominate the galaxy.
Therefore, when Northern Territory launched military operations, Kingdom of Dawn dispatched a team to Dantooine to prepare for the discovery of Relics above.
However, Kingdom of Dawn's actions ran head-on into the Galactic Empire's army!
The reason is very simple. Galactic Empire discovered a large number of crystal veins on Dantooine. It is even possible that Kyber Crystal was born due to the rich Force power!
Currently, since several major crystal mines, including Christophsis, are controlled by Kingdom of Dawn, the supply of Kyber Crystal from the Galactic Empire has fallen into an extreme shortage, and we have to look for alternative resources. The the Force crystal vein discovered by Dantooine is now the most scarce resource of Death Star project.
Therefore, the army of the Galactic Empire is excavating aggressively on Dantooine. After encountering the archaeological team of Kingdom of Dawn, the two sides immediately went to war, the army VS the scientific expedition team, and the result is self-evident.
Kingdom of Dawn's scientific expedition team was completely destroyed and more than a dozen experts were captured.
Afterwards, Kingdom of Dawn responded immediately and sent a squadron to Dantooine, and landed thousands of troops to rescue those experts.
So things gradually began to escalate. The Northern Territory military Commander Gillard-Perine noticed Kingdom of Dawn's actions and ordered reinforcements Tatooine. At that time, Bilbrin Planet was being threatened by Kingdom of Dawn for the first time. In order to concentrate its forces to defend there, Gillard-Perine decided to involve Kingdom of Dawn's energy in Dantooine.
Gillard-Perine sent additional reinforcements and told Dantooine's army that once the battle is unfavorable, they will start digging into the ground. No matter what, the battle on this planet must continue to attract Kingdom of Dawn's troops.
As a result, both sides continued to add fuel and troops, and the scale of the ground battle on Dantooine became larger and larger.
At the same time, there is a tacit understanding between the two parties - because Dantooine is too remote, if a large fleet is deployed, on the one hand it will be difficult to navigate on the complex hyperspace channel, on the other hand, if the main fleet runs to such a remote place, then the other side can immediately take advantage of it and attack Core Worlds.
Whether it is Makito or the planet Palin-Minor being attacked, it is something that both parties will absolutely not tolerate!
Therefore, on the battlefield of Dantooine, both Kingdom of Dawn and Galactic Empire did not send large-scale fleets, but continued to increase the strength of their ground troops, preparing for a showdown on the ground battlefield.
After all, the most valuable thing about Dantooine now is the mineral vein that produced Kyber Crystal, and the other is Relics from ancient Jedi Order and Infinite Empire.
If these two things were bombed into rubble in Orbital Bombardment, then what would be the point of working for a long time? It is not necessary to earn back the huge war costs spent on this planet.
Therefore, the option of fleet Orbital Bombardment was rejected, and all that was left was a bloody battle.
Both parties established their respective landing bases on Dantooine, and Galactic Empire took the lead. They began to expand construction around the three major cities on the planet. Facilities including factories, automated farms, hospitals, etc. were quickly abbreviated and put into use.
Kingdom of Dawn acted as invaders. After they established their own landing base outside the city, they began to launch an offensive against the Galactic Empire ground troops, and at the same time began to advance towards the planet capital Garang (Garang).
And since there is no industry of its own on Dantooine, both sides are building various military factories around their bases to meet combat needs, and on the other hand, they are mining minerals on the spot on a large scale. At the same time, both sides are also launching offensives almost non-stop, preparing to drive the other side away once and for all.
As a result, the scale of the ground war began to expand. Up to now, the strength of both sides has remained at more than hundreds of thousands, and large-scale armored forces have also been invested.
Kingdom of Dawn's purpose in launching this campaign was to attract Northern Territory Legion's attention and create opportunities for their true purpose of attacking Bilbrin Planet.
And now, Dunn-Vesex decided to once again use the protracted battle on this planet to continue to expand the scale of the battle, which in turn attracted Kingdom of Dawn's energy, leaving them no time to attack the planet Palin-Minor.
After all, both sides have suffered huge casualties and losses in the battle till now.
This is no longer an ordinary battle, but involves the face of both armies!
After returning to the planet Palin-Minor, Dunn-Vesex immediately held an emergency military meeting, and then called General Gillard-Perine, who had just completed treatment and was still very weak although he could move, and asked him for his opinions on this battle.
This meeting lasted for three days, and Gillard-Perine worked diligently to further improve Dunn-Vesex's plan despite their still-unrecovered bodies.
Then, when the first batch of three Acclamator-class assault ships arrived at the planet Palin-Minor with 20 transport ships, the plan of Dunn-Vesex began to unfold!
He first withdrew his troops from the planet Oud-Mantel and abandoned the former capital planet of the Eighth Army.
The planet Oud-Mantle had previously set up a suspicious formation when Kingdom of Dawn attacked Bilbrin Planet, and staged an empty city strategy. Taking advantage of Imperial military's misjudgment, he used the jump function of Archangel Titan warship to send the unfinished star gate here directly to Bilbrin Planet, and then launched a surprise attack, which was a success.
At this time, the Oud-Mantel planet was already undefended. Kingdom of Dawn's fleet stationed here resisted for a while and then all retreated, allowing Dunn-Vesex to recover the planet.
The recovery of the planet Ord-Mantle allowed Dunn-Vesex to further enhance his reputation in the military, and he also obtained the empty frame of a star gate, which further confirmed his status as "Northern Territory God of War".
With such Halo joining in, Dunn-Vesex naturally becomes the face of the Empire, which cannot fail!
But now, with the setback of the First System Army, Dunn-Vesex also understand that it is impossible for them to launch a counterattack again. Therefore, it is meaningless to continue to defend the planet Oud-Mantel.
Therefore, he decisively abandoned the planet and continued to recover his own defense line.
