743. Combat plan
"Fourth Civilization Chief of Staff Qi Jian, report to the Governor!" Qi Jian stood in front of Governor's Office, puffing out his chest and shouting loudly.
He is wearing the light gray military uniform of the Staff Department, and the epaulettes on his shoulders also indicate his current military rank - general.
Considering that he is now less than 40 years old, such a military rank is indeed a miracle. On the one hand, it is an inevitable situation for the growing Fourth Civilization. On the other hand, it is also the result of Qi Jian's 13 years of hard work and step by step.
Qi Jian was originally one of the civilian staff awakened by Mainframe. He was appointed temporary Chief of Staff by Tang Xiao only because of his interesting name. Moreover, as a Normal Class character, this also shows that he actually had no achievements or achievements before.
He walked step by step like this. Although he was cautious and lacked adventurous spirit, he rarely made mistakes in his work and completed everything with due diligence. It is precisely because of this that his status is as stable as a mountain in the ever-expanding Fourth Civilization, and the tide is rising.
Now, there are some signs of age on his face. Although his body shape is not so standard due to being in the office for a long time, you can see the vigorous energy and enthusiasm in his heart from his bright eyes.
The office door opened silently, Qi Jian straightened his clothes again and walked in.
Tang Xiao was sitting at the desk, supporting his chin with his hands crossed, looking at him expressionlessly, "Come to me while I'm meditating. You must have a reason to do so, Qi Jian. In other words, you must have."
Qi Jian's heart trembled inexplicably, but he still said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency, Fourth Civilization General Staff Headquarters, Supreme Operations Command and Fleet A Grand Commander Matt-Admiral Horner have proposed a combat plan. Please take a look at it."
"Say it." Tang Xiao said calmly.
"This is a plan to attack the planet Terminus." Qi Jian said, "Based on the current deployment of our army, the Jivin people's Yag-Dur planet and the Gran people's Jinyan planet have temporarily isolated us from the advance route of the 20th Army of the Republic. Admiral Severance Tann's B fleet is facing off against the 18th Army of the Republic on the planet Glenzon. Therefore, if we want to open up the situation, the planet Terminus will be a very good direction."
"Answer my two questions." Tang Xiao remained expressionless. "First, Terminus Planet is a neutral planet. Our previous attack on the neutral planet Bespin was already very risky. If such things happen again and again, it will affect the expansion of Confederacy of Independent Systems's influence and make it very passive politically."
Qi Jian replied, "Although Terminus Planet claims to be neutral, their political tendency is still closer to Galactic Republic. In fact, they are also providing a large amount of materials and supplies to the Republic 18th Army. Although it does not involve war preparation materials, food and medicine are also very important."
He continued, "... So we can pressure them to stop this transportation work and force them to stand in line. Then, there is another plan. We have smuggled a large amount of banned stimulants and spices into Terminus Planet through Mr. Ni Yongxiao. Next, as long as we use these things to create a public incident, then whether Galactic Republic interferes or we personally intervene, we can create an excuse to send troops."
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Then the second question, the hyperspace channel from Terminus Planet to our army's Bespin Planet base is not stable, so the logistics pressure is great. And from this planet to the 18th Army headquarters The hyperspace channel of Eriadu is Corellian Trade Route—one of the busiest hyperspace channels in the galaxy. How can we fight a large-scale battle with Galactic Republic here when our fleet itself has no advantage?"
Qi Jian answered confidently, "The recent offensive launched by General Grievous has almost shaken the entire defense line of Galactic Republic. The pressure on the 18th Army is very huge. Because after this series of battles, the adjacent 17th and 15th Army are now fully prepared for the next phase of General Grievous's offensive, 18th Army will be isolated and helpless for a short period of time. In addition, 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin was also seriously injured due to the assassination of our agents. This is the best time for us to take the initiative to attack! If we miss this opportunity, when Galactic Republic recovers with his own productivity, we may be the ones under great pressure."
Tang Xiao frowned, he didn't feel good about this battle. However, the entire galaxy the Force is now in chaos, and people as powerful as Master Yoda cannot see through the future of the galaxy. And the reason why he can see it is mainly because he knows the direction of the future plot.
But for the battle proposed by Qi Jian, it actually went beyond the scope of the original plot, and if it was a matter of predicting some trivial things, it didn't matter, Tang Xiao's current Dark Side Force is also extremely powerful. But when it comes to the outcome of a battle, there are too many things involved, and there is no doubt that the other party has Jedi Master sitting in charge, so he can only make decisions through his own feelings and judgment.
However, it feels... really not good.
Refuse? What Qi Jian said is indeed very reasonable. Now Fourth Civilization is indeed blocked by the 18th Army, and must find a way to break through their blockade. However, the control areas of Fourth Civilization are all remote areas, and the hyperspace channels are very complicated, which is not conducive to the operation of large-scale fleets.
Moreover, compared to other legions, Republic 18th Army is indeed the hardest nut to crack. There is no doubt about the ability of Wilhuff-Tarkin. At the end of Galactic Republic, he can be said to be the most powerful Commander in the entire galaxy, ranking among the top five.
Now that such a strong man was seriously injured by the assassination of Gabriel-Tosh, it is difficult not to say that this is an opportunity.
As long as it can cross 18th Army, then Fourth Civilization will be able to border the large control area of Confederacy of Independent Systems, so that it can better develop its own strategy. As for the next mediocre 17th Army and 15th Army, they will definitely not be their opponents!
It would be great if Sefrans-Tann were here, Tang Xiao thought to himself.
If it were her, then the success rate of conquering Terminus Planet might be much greater.
Unfortunately, Tann is now leading Plague Titan warship in a raid on Kato-Neimoidia.
So... do you agree?
Tang Xiao made up his mind, "Yes, on the premise of ensuring the integrity of our defense zone, I agree to launch an attack on Terminus Planet!"
