638. Battle of Christophsis (seven)
As soon as Ahsoka called himself 'Skywalker', Anakin was furious, "Hey! No matter what, at least I am still your master for the time being. Is this how you disrespect your master? Little devil!"
Ahsoka looked unconvinced, but still bowed his head and said, "Okay, I understand, God... oh, Master."
"Well, at least now I'm going to carry out a raid mission. You should follow Rex first and learn how to survive on the battlefield!" He immediately left Ahsoka to Rex, and walked aside to organize the new reinforcements and prepare for his raid.
Yes, a raid, this is what he just thought of. In short, no matter what, Anakin will never stop his attack.
He and Rex led the "Torrent" company (Torrent), the most elite among the 501st Legion, to launch a raid from a commercial center lined with buildings, destroying a Confederacy of Independent Systems tank unit that was advancing towards the front line. This attack blocked an attack originally planned by the Robot Legion, leaving the frontline robot troops without enough heavy units, and the attack stalled again.
After that, the clone forces began to establish strong air defense positions, and as more and more V-19 fighters came down to support in space, there were fewer and fewer Confederacy of Independent Systems and Vulture droid fighter, and they could hardly provide air cover anymore.
So the clone troops established several new artillery positions, and the AV-7 artillery began to exert extremely powerful power. Under the intensive bombing, Confederacy of Independent Systems's robot troops were blown to pieces, and they were unable to organize a decent offensive.
Seeing this situation, Volm-Lotham understood that the matter was over and there was no way to recover, so he once again led his troops to retreat to the position in the eastern suburbs.
Galactic Republic finally regained the game with great difficulty, and Anakin did not relax and immediately began to prepare for a counterattack. But it will be more difficult to counterattack. After all, the robot army still has one million troops, and in the counterattack, don't count on those Christophsian troops - they have no guts to rush out from behind the bunker.
Volm-Lotham once again asked for help from the Corporate Alliance, but this time, all he got in exchange was a hysterical curse from Parcel Argent. In Parcel Argent's view, it is precisely because of Volm-Lotham's incompetence that the millions of troops are trapped in the quagmire of Christophsis's war and cannot extricate themselves.
Volm-Lotham also had troubles that he couldn't express. He told Parcel Argent that without air supremacy, millions of robots would be useless. Now the remaining more than a hundred Vulture droid fighter can't even cover his command center, so how can they still fight?
Parcel-Argent had no choice but to throw fire at General Trench, but General Trench also told him that the existing fleet could only do this, and he could not do more. If you want to blame, blame Hutt, they were the ones who let Republic fleet come over.
On the battlefield, more is stronger. This is an eternal truth. Unless the level difference between the two sides Commander is too big, it is almost impossible to defeat more with less.
At least the current level of Galactic Republic's Commander Wullf-Admiral Yularen and Obi-Wan-Kenobi won't be so far behind Trench. In fact, with the existing military strength, it is indeed difficult for anyone to say that anyone can do better than General Trench.
Although it was very difficult for General Trench to face Republic fleet's offensive, it was still able to hold on. He concentrated the fleet near the satellite of Christophsis and used the gravitational field of the satellite to prevent the fighter jets of Galactic Republic from going too deep. After all, with the engine power of the V-19 Torrent light fighter, it would be quite dangerous if it was captured by the gravity of the satellite.
Fortunately, Galactic Republic was not equipped with the ARC-170 heavy fighter at this time. If it was the latter, then General Trench would have only one way to retreat.
After disrupting the opponent's fighter force, the powerful ship-to-ship firepower of Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, Generous-class frigate and Defiant-class light destroyer came into play. Wullf-Admiral Yularen was worried that the fleet would suffer unnecessary losses, so they did not continue the pursuit. They just blocked Trench's fleet and sent fighter units down into the atmosphere of Christophsis to support ground operations.
In this case, Parcel Argent was finally desperate. He did not dare to ask for help from Count Dooku, so he ran to the Technological Alliance foreman Watto Tambor and Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray. But now the former is attacking Rynoth, and the latter is preparing to instigate rebellion against Rodian planet, and they don't want to pay attention to him at all.
Then I went to the InterGalactic Banking Clan co-chairman San Hill and Fourth Group directors Glosse-Shelbia. They also said that their fleets were restrained by Galactic Republic's main fleet at Makito and they did not dare to act rashly.
"If reinforcements are not sent, Christophsis will be completely doomed! Kloiden will return to Galactic Republic's camp again, and we will never have a chance to attack this planet next time!" Parcel Argent said loudly.
"There is nothing we can do about it. If this is the case, letting Galactic Republic maintain a large-scale garrison in Christophsis can be regarded as spreading their strength. Hahahaha..." San-Hir said with a sly smile.
"In this case, all my investment will be lost!" Parcel Argent wailed.
"I'm sorry, friend. But in business, it's normal to make profits and lose money. What do you think?" Thorn-Hill said.
"Please help me. My attack at Kamino also failed, and I was forced to retreat at Bosa. If this continues, there will be nothing left for me in this war!" Parcel Argent begged.
At this stage when the war just started, these corporate giants actually regarded this war as a sure-profit deal. Naturally, they were unwilling to suffer heavy losses at the beginning of the war, and thus fell behind others when dividing the fruits of victory.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do." San-Hir shook his head, then turned to Glosse-Shelbia and asked, "Ms. Shelbia, do you still have a fleet in hand that can support Corporate Alliance?"
Glosse said coldly, "If Corporate Alliance can lift Galactic Republic's siege on Makito system and Muunilinst system, then of course the fleet will be fine."
"This..." Parcel Argent naturally knew that this was impossible. He thought for a long time and then said in a deep voice, "Mr. Hill... I am sure that you are the only one who can save me now... If you have any conditions, just say it. As long as you can defeat Battle of Christophsis, I will agree to anything."
"Hehehehe..." Sang-Hir smiled proudly, "As for the solution, it's true, it's not that there isn't... it's just..."
Parcel Argent's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "If it works, then I am willing to give half of the profits from Christophsis in the future..."
"90%!" Sang-Hir snorted coldly, "Besides, you have to be obedient."
Parcel Argent was stunned. After a long time, he wilted like a defeated rooster, "I understand..."
A cunning smile bloomed on Thornhill's face again, "Recently, a new type of warship that Fourth Group and I jointly developed happened to be on trial near Tatooine. Of course, these are experimental warships, and the price is very high to be put into actual combat."
"I know..." Argent whispered.
"And to mobilize troops from under Hutt's nose, I still need to open up the upper and lower joints."
"Yes."
"At the same time, an excellent Commander is also essential."
"Yes..."
"Galactic Republic has a lot of fighter jets, and we need to come up with ways to deal with them."
"Yes..."
"So you understand, the price is very high. Do you still think that 90% of the benefits is a lot?"
"Not much... not much..."
"Then, that's it." San-Hir smiled coldly and closed the communication.
"Parcel Argent has given in. Your plan is really effective, Lord Governor." After a moment, Thorn Hill said to Tang Xiao in the communication.
Different from the arrogant look in front of Parcel Argent before, Thornhill now has a smile on his face and looks like the two brothers are getting along well.
Tang Xiao smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, in this way, the plan of bringing Corporate Alliance into our Chariot is one step closer. In this case, Sefrans-Tann can attack."
