522. Declaration of war
After Tang Xiao and Sefrans-Tann returned to Endor system, news immediately came that Count Dooku publicly announced the establishment of Confederacy of Independent Systems, and according to the previous combat plan, their military operations were launched immediately.
At the Supreme Military Commander meeting, Tang Xiao stood at the head of the meeting wearing a majestic military uniform and formally issued the combat order.
"As I said 13 years ago! The war has broken out! This is a galactic war that can easily destroy any planet and eliminate any civilization! But at the same time, it is also a battle for our fourth civilization to gain a foothold! Our goal is neither to defeat the Galactic Republic nor to help The Federation of Independent Systems! Our goal is our own living space! The flag of the fourth civilization should be planted in every corner of the galaxy! We are not docile kittens! From today on, the entire galaxy will see our power!
His expression was even a little ferocious due to the excessive exertion. The powerful Dark Side Force unleashed his power unscrupulously, making everyone present feel a tremor deep in their hearts and even in their souls!
"So today! Now! I have brought war to everyone! I am honored to announce the beginning of war to everyone." He slammed his fist on the table, "Remember this sentence! I am the Calamity!"
"I am the Calamity!" Everyone here, General Army General Xian Hui, Deputy Commander of the Army Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, Chief of Staff Qi Jian, General Head of Military Intelligence Madam M, Commander of the Navy Igor-Zavalov, Commander of Fleet A Matt-Admiral Horner and others immediately stood up and saluted.
Even Sefrans-Tann, who usually looks down on everyone and starts scolding when she opens her mouth, looked at Tang Xiao very seriously, stood at attention and saluted, and there seemed to be some strange look in her eyes.
"All armies obey the order!" Tang Xiao said loudly, "Fleet C defends Endor system, other armies, all troops are dispatched! Attack Galactic Republic!"
"Fleet A, Matt-Hona!"
"Arrived!"
"Execute plan B and attack Gas Planet Bespin (Bespin)! Code name, 'Operation Blast'! Within a month, I want to see all the gas factories in Bespin provide explosive gas for us Fourth Civilization!" Tang Xiao said.
"Yes!"
"General Xian Hui, the main force of the army will cooperate with Fleet A's actions! Destroy Bespin's resistance and don't give them the opportunity to destroy the refinery!"
"Yes!"
"Fleet B, Sefrans-Tann!"
"Split your troops into two groups. The main fleet is stationed at Cerea, urging them to sign a contract with us. Remember! It's with us, not Confederacy of Independent Systems!" Tang Xiao said.
"I shouldn't be asked to go this way. I can just send a deputy general. Tell me, what is my mission?" Sefrans-Tann asked, stroking the curly hair on his forehead.
"It is a secret mission involving Galactic Republic information about a secret weapon. InterGalactic Banking Clan Chairman San Hill is following up on this matter. We must get this secret weapon. My apprentice, Edra-Kestis will join the battle as your assistant, and she will also be responsible for your safety. This is not an easy task, but remember, no matter what happens, I hope you can come back alive." Tang Xiao said.
Sefrans-Tann smoothed his hair and smiled lightly, "Why, are you worried about me?"
"I hope everyone here can survive the war! You are irreplaceable!" Tang Xiao paused and added, "Even if death is inevitable, at least leave me a whole body, and notify me in time, and I will resurrect you."
After speaking, he took a step back to give up his seat, stood at attention and saluted everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "Then, I wish you all a successful victory!"
Fourth Civilization The war machine that has been warmed up for a long time is finally fully activated at this moment!
22BBY, Galactic Standard Time May 23, 7 pm, Fourth Civilization, Fleet A 10 ships Sova-class Carrier, 50 ships Kohl-class Battlecruiser, 10 ships Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, escorting 6 Luukri-Hok-class battleships fully loaded with armies, departed from the capital of Ayrou, Annaj Planet, and directly killed Bespin via the hyperspace channel!
Three hours later, the hyperspace channel was stable, with 20 ships each Fleet B Kohl-class Battlecruiser, Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, and Sova-class Carrier escorting 3 Luukri-Hok-class battleship into the hyperspace channel and heading towards Cerea.
This is also a very troublesome place for Modell Sector.
For example, Ayrou, their origin planet is not in Annaj Planet, but they still moved their capital there because among the entire Modell Sector, only Annaj Planet has a relatively stable hyperspace channel, while the hyperspace channels of other planets are unstable.
Especially when passing through large-scale fleets, entering hyperspace channels from other planets will often be greatly disrupted. Although the maturity of hyperspace navigation technology prevents such interference from having fatal consequences, course deviations are inevitable, and for large fleets, sometimes they can be really fatal.
By the way, in the original plot, when the Milky Way Country built Death Star II at Endor system, the main assembly point was also at Annaj Planet.
Coupled with Ayrou's hostility towards Fourth Civilization, the transfer of Fleet A and Fleet B was immediately secretly reported to Galaxy Republic Strategic Command by intelligence personnel.
For Fourth Civilization, this step must be taken!
Only by stepping out of Modell Sector can we have a broader strategic space.
But this is definitely not easy. In this completely obvious strategic offensive direction, Galactic Republic has enough time and strength to defend these two directions.
Especially in the direction of Bespin, Incom Corporation and Corellia Engineering Company of Galactic Republic all hold large shares here. This is also one of the most important producing areas of explosive gas for Galactic Republic. It is definitely not easy to attack here.
Especially the latter, as Corellia Engineering Company is one of the largest industrial enterprises with the longest history in Galactic Republic, its foundation and strength are quite terrifying.
The only thing Tang Xiao can rely on is Geonosis's involvement in the Republic Army's power, and the secret actions of Sefrans-Tann.
Galactic Standard Time At 4 o'clock in the morning on May 24, Fourth Civilization, Fleet A's battleship left hyperspace, and the huge fleet came into the gravitational circle of the gas giant planet Bespin.
Bespin Planet The local defense fleet has been alerted and is ready for battle. Without any greetings, the fleets of both sides opened fire as soon as they met!
Battle of Bespin officially begins! -
