628. The second strongest battleship
Glory mothership Core Worlds, Fourth Civilization Supreme Military Command.
Tang Xiao looked at Chief of Staff Qi Jian, Prime Minister of the Cabinet Helmut-Zemo, Commander of the Navy who were seated E Igor-Zavalov, Commander of Fleet A Matt-Hona, B Fleet Commander Sefrans-Tann, Army General Xian Hui, Deputy Commander of the Army Cheng Shitao, Intelligence Department Minister Madam M, cyber warfare expert Super Lotus, and Fleet C acting commander General Trench who participated in the meeting remotely via hyperspace communications.
He said slowly, "My time is limited. Let me first convey the combat instructions recently sent by Confederacy of Independent Systems High Command - we need to launch a defense line against the Galactic Republic's 19th Army and an attack on Planet Kaal within a week. At the same time, I need to ensure that our original plan to occupy Christophsis is not affected."
"It is absolutely not advisable to attack Planet Kaal by force. The opponent has built a very strong defense line there. Among other things, the heavy Turbolaser cannons on the four large armed space stations are enough to drink a pot of our warships." Matt-Hona shook his head and said.
"19th Army's governor Sulama is a former finance minister of Galactic Republic. Apart from anything else, he is definitely very good at making money and engineering projects." Intelligence Department Minister Madam M said seriously.
Tang Xiao glanced at Matt-Hona and said, "They have large armed space stations, and so do we."
"But the problem is that Sulama has been beaten up in Bespin Planet. I'm afraid he won't come over so easily." Matt-Hona said.
Tang Xiao knocked on the table and said, "So I hope you will come up with a plan as soon as possible. I will not only capture Christophsis as planned, but also take the initiative to attack Planet Kaal without causing too much loss."
"With all due respect, Governor. Blind pursuit of grandeur and comprehensiveness in the military is often counterproductive." Matt-Hona said.
"I agree with what you said, but you also have to understand that this is exactly why you are standing here." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other.
At this time, Helmut-Zemo suddenly said, "Battle of Bespin's failure is not only a nightmare, but also a shame for Sulama. For a person who just took office and became a banker, What does he, one of the 20 war zone governors in the river system, think? You know military affairs, and his generals also understand military affairs. However, as the highest officer, Sulama is only a finance minister. We might as well try to understand his psychology from the perspective of psychology and politics."
Everyone fell into deep thought again.
A shuttle came to Outer Rim of the galaxy, an inconspicuous planet among Kalarba Sector.
Parmant(Pammant).
The planet is only about 4,000 kilometers in diameter, and its surface is barren. But in fact, this planet is a nearly hollow planet. Under the crust, there is a vast and complex underground water network and countless underground tunnels.
Therefore, the aquatic race Quarren claimed sovereignty over Parmant thousands of years ago and built a huge shipyard here.
And now, after thousands of years of development, this large-scale shipyard is now displayed in front of Tang Xiao, who is riding a shuttle.
This is a super shipyard composed of dozens of large shipbuilding platforms. Each shipbuilding platform covers an area of thousands of square kilometers. On this extremely huge super shipyard, you can see that hundreds of warships are being built.
These battleships are all Deceiver-class destroyer. This 1088-meter-long powerful battleship is currently the most powerful battleship of Confederacy of Independent Systems. Its comprehensive performance is stronger than Fourth Civilization's Kohl-class Battlecruiser, and its modular design allows them to easily change their combat functions according to the battle situation.
The shuttle flew over the endless super dock. On the dock, countless B-1 combat robots and quadruped Vulture droid fighter all raised their heads and looked here. After getting the correct IFF code, they lowered their heads and continued to wait motionless in place.
The shuttle landed in one of the super docks. Tang Xiao walked down from the hatch with four T-850 bodyguards. Count Dooku came to greet him in person. He walked up to hold Tang Xiao's hand very enthusiastically and said kindly, "Your Excellency, Governor, welcome to one of our largest shipyards in Confederacy of Independent Systems, Parmant. This is also the headquarters of Freedom Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps that we established..."
He made a gesture of invitation and led Tang Xiao towards the interior. As he walked, he introduced Tang Xiao to the situation of this grand shipyard.
Tang Xiao noticed that except for the robots, most of them were Quarren who looked like a squid, and Celestian who looked like a Ben Boer Ba.
Celestian is not tall, usually between 1.1 and 1.5 meters. He has a pair of big black eyes and very thick cheeks, and looks very ugly. But in fact, they have a very strong sense of direction and spatial memory, and are very good pilots and engineers.
By the way, Celestian is a very die-hard member of Confederacy of Independent Systems. In the original plot, there were many Celestian pilots on the Rebel Alliance's side. In "Star Wars" They can often be seen in the main movies 4~6. After the destruction of Confederacy of Independent Systems, they have been fighting against the Galactic Empire until the establishment of the Rebel Alliance.
"... There are more than 1 million engineers and tens of millions of robot workers here, and they can build 500 warships at the same time. The warships launched from here will also fly to every corner of the galaxy, allowing our iron hooves to set foot on every planet!" On the side, Count Dooku was still proudly introducing Port Pament.
Chariot, which pulled Quarren into Confederacy of Independent Systems, has always been one of his most proud masterpieces.
Tang Xiao was polite and looked at this huge shipyard with envy. Even though the construction of Dawn Star Planet and Star Ring has been completed, its scale pales in comparison to this super shipyard.
At present, the production capacity of Dawn Star Planet can only reach less than one-tenth of that of Port Pament.
It would be great if I could have such a huge shipyard... Tang Xiao thought in his mind.
While walking through a transparent corridor, Tang Xiao suddenly noticed that on a platform outside, there were five people dressed as engineers standing side by side with their hands tied behind their backs. Behind them, there was a row of B-1 combat robots.
It looked like this was a shooting scene.
Count Dooku also noticed Tang Xiao's gaze, and he explained, "Please don't worry, these people are the spies we captured. They discovered the super battleship we built in secret, and wanted to tell Galactic Republic the news, but they were discovered."
As soon as he finished speaking, the B-1 combat robots outside opened fire, and a burst of gunfire passed by. These people were directly beaten into sieves by the blaster beam, their bodies were blown to pieces, and some fragments even burned directly due to the high temperature of the blaster beam.
Tang Xiao sighed with some emotion, shook his head, and continued walking forward, seemingly unable to bear it.
Count Dooku was watching Tang Xiao's every reaction. He asked slowly, "Is your Excellency the Governor afraid of shooting a few people?"
Tang Xiao smiled stiffly, as if he still had some lingering fears, and said, "Oh, I would never go see such a scene in person... Even if you let me fly a fighter jet to fight, but this is the only way... I really feel a little uncomfortable, I'm sorry."
Count Dooku nodded slightly, "I'm sorry that you saw such a scene. After these spies were caught and interrogated, I had them shot directly. I just didn't expect that you would see them by such a coincidence... This was my mistake."
Tang Xiao waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, they deserve it. Now I'm even more looking forward to what the secret weapon you said is."
"Oh, secret weapon." Count Dooku seemed to have remembered something, and said, "I almost forgot... the secret weapon is right under our feet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiao only heard a low mechanical roar coming from the surroundings, and then he felt as if the entire ground beneath his feet was shaking, and then began to move.
In fact, if it weren't for the roar of the machine, it would be difficult for Tang Xiao to realize that he was moving, because what was moving was the entire earth under his feet, and even the surrounding buildings were moving. Without a reference, he even had the illusion that he was rotating with the planet.
But soon, he saw that in the other direction, the ground cracked open, and a very huge hatch appeared. The edge of this hatch is almost invisible, like a great rift valley with no end in sight!
And underneath this cracked ground, there is a group of buildings that also has no end in sight, but is very regular. Only very far away can you see a towering bridge that is exactly the same as Deceiver-class destroyer and looks like a tail fin.
That's right, it's impossible to see the whole thing with the naked eye. The structure and shape of this creation can't be seen at all. It's a spaceship!
A very huge spaceship!
"This... is our secret weapon, now the most powerful battleship in the entire galaxy - Fang-class battleship (The Malevolence)!" Count Dooku's tone was enthusiastic.
Tang Xiao looked at this huge battleship, or in other words, the battleship that was like a continent in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and finally, it appeared!
The Subjugator-class heavy cruiser (The Subjugator-class heavy cruiser), in the chaotic division of the galaxy, this class of battleships has many different levels, such as Heavy Cruiser, battleship, dreadnought, Star Destroyer, etc., but in general perception, it is still called a battleship.
During the entire Clone Wars period, it was undoubtedly the strongest battleship!
"... This battleship is the first ship of Conqueror-class, with a length of 4845 meters. It requires 16 sets of powerful engines to drive this huge battleship. It can easily destroy an entire fleet!" Count Dooku also explained on the side.
Tang Xiao nodded solemnly. In fact, even the Ragnarok-class Titan warship in his hand cannot be said to be a sure win against this Conqueror-class battleship. Both sides have the means to kill each other with one blow. On the ever-changing battlefield, it really cannot be generalized.
Of course, if the distance is far enough, Ragnarok-class still has a greater advantage, so to be precise, Conqueror-class battleship should be the second strongest battleship in the galaxy.
"You have no idea what the secret weapon of this battleship is, hahahaha! This is a secret weapon that can destroy the entire fleet!" Count Dooku said with a proud smile.
"It's hard for me to imagine a weapon that can destroy a fleet... Could it be the technology of Extractor? This is already the most powerful weapon mode I can imagine." Tang Xiao said.
Count Dooku laughed and made another gesture of invitation, "Then, let's board the battleship directly and actually feel the power of this battleship! Please rest assured that Malevolence has already conducted a trial voyage and all systems have been debugged. There is no safer place in this galaxy than here."
A Speeder drove over, and Count Dooku kindly pulled Tang Xiao into the car, sat down side by side with him, and said somewhat casually, "It would be great if Archangel of Death could also be here to witness this great moment..."
Tang Xiao also shook his head with emotion and said, "Unfortunately, he takes the initiative to find me every time. Even I don't know how to find him."
From the beginning, Count Dooku has been observing Tang Xiao's every move, trying to find any clues, but Tang Xiao's performance was spotless, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Speeder drove into the endless Hangar Platform of the battleship, and then they transferred to the rail transit inside the battleship and came to the bridge.
On the bridge where the surrounding lights were deliberately designed to be red, Tang Xiao also saw the full picture of Conqueror-class battleship's first ship, Malevolence, from a holographic projection in the center.
The general shape of Malevolence is indeed quite similar to Deceiver-class destroyer, especially the towering bridge at the rear of the battleship and the tail fin are almost exactly the same. However, the front end of Malevolence adopts an upper and lower split design, which looks like a shark opening its bloody mouth.
Another very conspicuous thing is that there are huge disc-shaped devices on both sides of the battleship. This device is about 800 to 1,000 meters in diameter.
Tang Xiao knows that these two discs are Malevolence's secret weapons that can destroy an entire fleet.
"Dear Count Dooku, Fang battleship is ready, we can set off at any time." A Celestian came over and said respectfully to Count Dooku.
Count Dooku smiled and said to Tang Xiao, "Let me introduce, this is the chief designer of Conqueror-class battleship, Ruggle Schmong. It is his genius ideas and execution that gave birth to this most powerful battleship."
