2803. Build momentum
The reply from Gideon-Tarkin was sent to Lantilis Planet. Imperial Twelfth Army Governor Seben suddenly stood up in the command center and roared, "Is this guy Gideon-Tarkin going to rebel? The capital of the sector is under siege, and he still wants to wait and see!"
The adjutant on the side advised, "Mr. Governor, the movements of this fleet are indeed suspicious. Now we don't know how they came to Lantilis Planet. I think General Gideon is worried about this problem. Now these warships suspected of being drone motherships are only attacking our fleet and have no intention of attacking the planet. I think we should just hold on to the current battle line."
The muscles on Seben's face were trembling, "A whole ten battleships are staring at me next to the capital of the sector! And then you actually want me to just wait?! Gideon-Tarkin's fleet is four times the size of the other side! He is only willing to send a squadron over here. Does this mean? Tarkin family, do you already regard Twelfth Army as their own?"
He turned around and said to the adjutant, "Report Imperial Supreme Strategic Command to me! Just say Gideon-Tarkin is standing still and watching the capital of the sector being attacked, with evil intentions!"
"Yes!" The adjutant nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
The adjutant left quickly. Seben clung to the edge of the command platform, his knuckles turning white. On the monitor screen, thousands of drones were raging outside the planet. At this moment, there was no spacecraft outside Lantilis Planet.
Whether it was a warship or a civilian spaceship, some escaped and died, and the rest did not even dare to take off. It was as if the entire star field had been isolated and turned into an island.
Meanwhile, Charos IV Planet.
"General Gideon! Urgent report from the front line, Separatist fleet appears in Boonta! Among them, there are 150 battleships and 40 Heavy Cruiser! Separatists Eastern Territory Fleet's 5 Divinity-class battleship and 30 Typhoon-class battlecruiser are all on the list!" An intelligence officer ran over quickly.
Gideon-Tarkin frowned, "This is about half of their fleet, and with Oracle-class and Typhoon class here, there is no doubt that it is their main battle force."
Operations Adjutant came over and said, "If that is the case, then the situation is just right. Boonta is very far away from Separatists's supply base. How about we increase our support to the rebels and let them continue to harass the opponent's transport fleet. In addition, we can also send branch fleets to cut off their supplies."
As he said this, he raised his hand and struck everything hard.
Gideon-Tarkin nodded and said slowly, "Send out four squadrons, each with 20 battleships, take seasonal routes, detour around Mimban, and raid...Jabiim planet!"
He stretched out his finger and pinched it hard at the back of the Kingdom of Dawn Eastern Territory battlefield.
"Yes!" Operations Adjutant stood at attention and saluted.
But then he thought of another question and asked, "General, if we continue to divide our troops like this... what should Lantilis Planet do?"
"Can ten capital ships capture Lantilis Planet? Tell me that old guy Seben, if he wants to win this battle, he must hold it back! Hold on!" Gideon-Tarkin said coldly.
However, the next day, the intelligence officer came to report again.
"General! The fleet that Separatists invaded Lantilis Planet divided up again. They separated out three warships. Looking at the heading, I'm afraid they are going to Trandoshan Planet (Trandosha)!" the intelligence officer said, "They also seem to be making a detour!"
Gideon-Tarkin said with a stern face, "Trandoshan and Separatists are not of the same mind! The nearby Kashyyyk planet are also constantly breaking out in uprisings, and they will not join Separatists! Continue to observe!"
On the third day, the intelligence officer reported again.
"General! Separatist fleet has divided its forces again! Three warships have been separated and are already engaging our army Guardian Fleet at Toglia Planet (Togoria)!" the intelligence officer said loudly.
Gideon-Tarkin was furious and roared, "They have sent out six battleships! Let this old bastard Seben fight!!"
After a while, the adjutant sent a reply from Governor Seben. He glanced at Gideon-Tarkin with some anxiety and said, "Governor Seben's reply is... requiring our army to immediately divide its troops and return for reinforcements."
"Get back the damn help!" Gideon-Tarkin yelled, completely ignoring his image, "Have ten battleships broken his nerve? What about when I fight Separatists with thousands of battleships?!"
After he finished scolding, the adjutant said carefully, "I think... I'm afraid Governor Seben is avenging his personal revenge... He may think that we are taking away his power..."
Gideon-Tarkin slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What power do you want to seize? Isn't he still sitting firmly in the position of governor and relying on us to help him guard the gate?! He is a bad old man in his seventies. He retired in a few years. What power can he seize? Doesn't he still want his son to inherit the governorship?"
The adjutant sighed and asked, "But General, if this small fleet of Separatists is allowed to continue causing trouble, I'm worried that our own rear will be in chaos first..."
Gideon-Tarkin took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, don't worry about that bastard. Separatists Do you have more information about those ten battleships?"
"Except for some clearer photos, there are no more." The adjutant took out some information and handed it to Gideon.
Gideon-Tarkin Looking at the obviously clearer photos, I could only see a few battleships with elegant, rounded shapes and integrated shapes. No, they are more like works of art than battleships. Every line of these battleships has been carefully carved, and no seams or rivets can be seen on the surface of the ship, just like nature.
The adjutant continued, "Then, we destroyed about 400 drones. After recovering the wreckage, we found that long-range energy transmission technology was still used, which allowed these drones to exert a firepower level far greater than their size. In addition, the opponent's warships should be able to build more drones on their own, because during this period of fighting, the number of drones did not decrease."
"Have they done anything to deal with it?" Gideon-Tarkin asked.
The adjutant nodded, took out another combat document and said, "These warships are very maneuverable. Our defenders at Toglia Planet sent 10 Star Destroyer to quickly attack and suppress them. But these warships They immediately turned around and ran away, and the acceleration was very fast, and our Star Destroyer couldn't catch up with them. During the pursuit, they were constantly attacked by drones. In the end, only four of the ten Star Destroyer were able to return."
"They are harassing us! Otherwise we will arrange a large number of high-speed cruisers to surround them, or else we will completely trap them!" Gideon-Tarkin said, "Send someone to thoroughly investigate the situation between the Lantilis Planet and Separatists control areas, and find me the logistics supply line of this fleet!"
"Yes!"
However, at this moment, the correspondent suddenly came over and said, "General! Imperial Supreme Strategic Command has sent a message asking you to report your work remotely immediately!"
