Halted Steps. Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year-May You Roar Like Tigers and Soar on Tiger Wings
700. Stopped steps
After Ewok joined the battle, Lottan's plan to fight guerrilla warfare on the planet came to nothing. The ensuing revenge and purge suddenly swept across the entire planet.
Millions of people were implicated, arrested, and then sent to work in harsh mine conditions. It is estimated that only three out of ten will survive.
However, Lottan is fierce by nature. Even so, he still started several armed riots. After completing the arrest mission, Huang Yehao's unit went out many times to fight the militants.
Huang Yehao and Cummings witnessed with their own eyes the weapons in the hands of the militants from rocket launchers and Blaster rifle to pistols, homemade bombs, and then to wooden sticks and long knives, but the resistance continued.
Their blood is getting colder and colder, and their eyes looking across the battlefield are getting colder and colder.
There is a saying that is right, you cannot change the war, then you can only wait for the war to change you.
As time enters September of 22BBY, the flames of resistance on Lothal and Hoth Planet are gradually extinguished. No matter how much the residents of these two planets hate it in their hearts, they can only bury it deep in their hearts. Order was gradually restored, and workers, farmers, and administrative staff returned to their posts one after another, and then began working under the supervision of robots.
While continuing to eliminate the remaining forces of the 19th Army, Fourth Civilization also began to adjust its defense forces in a targeted manner.
Planet Kaal, which was previously an important line of defense for the 19th Army, is no longer so important. Fourth Civilization has begun to move its defense forces north to Kinyen, where Gran belongs. This place can block the imminent moves of the Republic 20th Army, and can also secretly support the activities of the Givin on the planet Yage-Dur. Once the news that the Givin is a member of Confederacy of Independent Systems can no longer be concealed, then Kinyen will be an important Fulcrum supporting the defense operations of the planet Yage-Dur.
Raloz-class Heavy Constructor began to go to Kinyen and began to build a brand new Agonev-class star base. United Mining Group Huge mineral transport ships constantly travel between Planet Kaal and Kinyen, transporting the wreckage of the Galactic Republic heavy-armed space stations that were originally destroyed on the Planet Kaal defense line as part of the raw materials for building the interstellar base.
And once this Agonev-class star base is completed, Gran can only completely surrender to Fourth Civilization. Otherwise, this interstellar base has the ability to burn glass directly on Kinyen.
In addition, Fourth Civilization, Fleet A captured Manfarr (Manpha) and settled here directly. There are tens of millions of Shawda Ubb people living on Manfarr. This is a small amphibious race with very backward civilization and technology. They have not yet gotten rid of the primitive tribal society and are still at the primary level of preparing to integrate into the Galactic Republic society.
However, there is still a spaceport on Manfarr, Shanpan Spaceport (Shanpan Spaceport).
After Fourth Civilization occupied Manfarr, Shanpan Spaceport became busy. The daily cargo throughput almost immediately made this originally small space port almost explode. As a last resort, Matt-Hona could only withdraw two-thirds of the fleet to the rear.
The deployment of Manfarr mainly threatens the edge transportation hub of the Republic 18th Army - Terminus Planet. This is also the place that Matt-Hona has been obsessed with before and hopes to conquer it with the help of Plague.
In fact, his opinion is not unreasonable, because if you want to attack Terminus Planet, the only and most convenient hyperspace channel is through Manfarr.
However, the backward Manfarr is simply unable to support the logistics supply of large-scale fleet operations, while Terminus Planet has a complete industrial and logistics system. These two huge differences make it very difficult for Fourth Civilization to attack Terminus Planet.
On the contrary, once Terminus Planet can be captured, then Fourth Civilization's strategic space for the 18th Army will suddenly become clearer. Not to mention having an advantage, at least it can move freely.
So if it can be conquered in one fell swoop with the help of Plague, then there will be no need to worry about the logistical supply of Manfarr. Unfortunately, Tang Xiao finally chose another more radical and adventurous plan of Sefrans-Tann——
Raid Kato-Neimoidia.
But as Tang Xiao said, this is a decision from the perspective of Das-Malthael.
After all, the reason why Trade Federation joined Confederacy of Independent Systems was because his master, Hego-Damask II, single-handedly set up the bridge, but The person who finally promoted Newt Gunray to the position of governor of Trade Federation, and pulled Trade Federation into the ranks of Separatists, was Darth-Sidious.
Therefore, Trade Federation can be said to be the direct descendant of Das-Sidious - of course, the kind of direct descendant that is fattened and then slaughtered.
However, the direct line is the direct line after all, and now Trade Federation still follows the instructions of Darth-Sidious.
However, for Darth-Malthael, the timid and wavering Newt Gunray is an object that can be fought for and one that must be fought for!
Now Newt Gunray has a good relationship with Fourth Civilization. The main reason is that he thinks that Tang Xiao is like him and was pulled aboard by Darth-Sidious, so they share the same problem. But if we start with such a relationship and then slowly implant the fear of Darth-Malthael into Newt Gunray's heart, there is a chance that Newt Gunray can be won over.
Sending Plague directly into Kato-Neimoidia is an opportunity to show Newt Gunray the powerful Dark Side Force of Darth-Malthael.
You must know that the end of Clone Wars started after Newt Gunray entered the password to shut down all the combat robots in the entire territory of Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Why does Das-Sidious have the confidence to say that the war will end when he wants it to end? This is one of the biggest reliances.
It would be great if this reliance became Darth-Malthael's.
Compared with this, it is not so unacceptable to throw Matt-Hona into the swamp of Manfarr and struggle to expand the spaceport and build infrastructure.
Fleet B, who is temporarily led by Lin Nanyi, is stationed at Gerrenthum Planet. On the one hand, it echoes with Hoth Planet and defends this planet. It can be said that apart from Dawn Star Planet Besides E, Fourth Civilization is the most important planet. On the other hand, it occupies this hyperspace channel that leads directly to the capital of the Republic 18th Army - Eriadu.
There is no doubt that this hyperspace channel is cut off by countless air mines and Interdictor. It is impossible to go directly there, but it has also become the location of the direct fleet confrontation between Fourth Civilization and 18th Army.
During this period of time, Fourth Civilization actually had no time to continue external expansion, so Tang Xiao also focused its energy on consolidating its rule in the occupied areas.
But it doesn't mean that he can let Governor Galactic Republic 18th Army, the famous Wilhuff-Tarkin in the future, sleep peacefully.
Others don't know what the future holds for Tarkin, but Tang Xiao knows it all.
As the first High Sector Governor after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, and also the highest-ranking military leader under the Emperor of the Empire Das-Sidious, Wilhuff-Tarkin will be a very difficult and powerful enemy in the foreseeable future!
