861. The Givin joins the war [Updated 2/5, please vote for me]
The temporary calm on the battlefield does not mean that nothing really happened between the two warring parties. On the contrary, a bigger storm is brewing.
On January 35, after a long quarrel, Galactic Republic Senate Speaker Sheev-Palpatine finally made the decision and announced that they would vote on whether to send a survey team to the Givin's home planet Yage-Dur in three days.
Councilor the Givin repeatedly objected to this, but this time Palpatine made up his mind, and the vote was finally officially held on February 3.
In the end, the parliament passed the resolution with 67% of the votes in favor, 22% of the votes against, 9% of the votes abstaining and 2% of the votes invalidated.
Palpatine announced that it would dispatch a special envoy headed by Alderaan Senator Bail-Organa to the planet Yag-Dur to investigate the Givin's illegal construction of warships.
The Givin needs to cooperate with the investigation and clearly explain their purpose of building warships, as well as the models, quantities and funding sources of warships that have been built.
At the same time, Galactic Republic Customs and Commerce Department also launched an investigation into the previous logistics records of the Yage-Dur planet.
However, the results of the investigation were unexpected. All the logistics records of the planet Yag-Dur in the past 10 years have been deleted, and no data can be found at all.
This intensified Galactic Republic Senate's suspicion of the Givin.
On February 5, the investigation team set off. However, the Givin set Interdictor again, blocking traffic and denying the investigation team entry.
In the afternoon of that day, Bail-Organa issued a strongly worded ultimatum to the Givin, requiring the Givin to open the border within a standard day to welcome the investigation team to enter.
The Givin has not replied, but nearby Republic outpost has detected that the hyperspace traffic signal in the direction of Kinyen, south of the Yag-Dur planet and close to Gran, has become busy, more than five times the normal level.
On February 6, Bail-Organa returned to Coruscant and publicly announced in parliament that the negotiations had broken down. Member the Givin was immediately expelled Galactic Senate Building.
On February 7, Chancellor of the Galactic Senate Sheev-Palpatine authorized Governor of the 20th Republic Army Octavian-Grant to lead a fleet to forcibly enter the planet Yag-Dur.
In the afternoon of that day, the fleets of Octavian-Grant arrived in front of the Interdictor array on the planet Yag-Dur and began to fire to forcibly destroy Interdictor.
An hour later, the Givin issued a statement, saying that Galactic Republic ignored the neutrality declaration, forced neutral planets to participate in the war, violated Galactic Republic Constitution, and trampled on the Givin's sovereignty. In retaliation, the Givin announced its withdrawal from Galactic Republic, publicly joined Confederacy of Independent Systems, and issued a war mobilization order.
That night, the Republic 20th Army fleet, a total of 10 Hunter Class Battlecruiser and 1 Acclamator-class assault ship, after destroying Interdictor, entered hyperspace again and broke into the Jager-Dur system.
However, this hyperspace jump was affected by the gravitational pull of three stars in the Jager-Dur system, and the jump landing point deviated. Two of the Hunter Class Battlecruiser deviated from the course and lost contact after 30 minutes.
According to the video images sent back by the two Hunter Classs before losing contact, although the battlefield interference was very serious, it could still be recognized that they encountered an extremely large mushroom-shaped space station.
After comparison with the Intelligence Department, it is believed that the mushroom-shaped space station in the image is more than 70% similar, and it is Agonev-class star base that appeared in Battle of Bespin before! However, the interstellar base in the image is much larger than the one in Bespin Planet!
Out of caution, Octavian-Grant immediately led his troops to retreat.
On February 8, Galaxy Republic 20th Army officially submitted a combat plan to Republic Supreme Strategic Command, preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the planet Yage-Dur.
On February 9, after Chancellor Palpatine personally signed it, Republic Supreme Strategic Command approved the plan.
At the same time, Republic 20th Army's fleet began to assemble in Jizhou planet (Giju), with Jedi Master Sha Koon and her apprentice Baylis Archan taking command of the fleet.
Master Sha-Kong is a Kel Dor, she is the niece of Jedi Master Ploo-Kong. She has strong telepathy and powerful power.
At the same time, the Givin is also actively deploying defenses. According to the monitoring of the Galactic Republic border outpost, at least 10 or more large warships set off from Dawn Star Planet and entered the Yag-Dur system via Kinyen.
The war is about to break out in the Jager-Dur galaxy, which has been peaceful for tens of thousands of years. However, considering the complex environment of this Three-Body galaxy, the 20th Governor Octavian-Grant did not launch an attack rashly. Instead, he gathered a large number of mathematicians and astronomers to continuously calculate and observe the recent trajectories of the three stars in this galaxy to find the most suitable opportunity to attack.
The formal intervention of the 20th Army also means that for Fourth Civilization, they will have to open a new front in the Yag-Dur system and face the two legions of Galactic Republic 18 and 20 in the north and south directions.
And what's terrible is that Wilhuff-Tarkin's ability goes without saying. Octavian-Grant will also be one of the famous Galaxy Imperial Marshal on the list in the future, and it is also a very difficult opponent.
Because General Trench received the call from General Grievous and was ready to continue to command Corporate Alliance's fleet to start the next phase of the strategy against Mid Rim Territories, Tang Xiao had to adjust the deployment again, not long after the call was awakened. General Ling Liang went to the Jager-Dur system as a military adviser. At the same time, Lin Nanyi was selected from Fleet B of Sefrans-Tann as the adjutant of Ling Liang.
Lin Nanyi has previously led a fleet alone and has combat experience in Cerea and other places. Letting him serve as Ling Liang's adjutant will help make up for Ling Liang's lack of experience in space combat.
At the same time, Tang Xiao also wants to see what Ling Liang's capabilities are.
At this time, the communication that Tang Xiao had been waiting for for a long time finally rang again.
He read the message attached to the communicator and understood the identity of the person. He also put on his formal clothes very solemnly, straightened his clothes to ensure that his appearance was meticulous, and then connected the communication.
The communication was connected, but the image of the other party was not projected immediately. Instead, several incredibly beautiful maids came first, paved a path with flowers, and then covered it with a layer of silky and soft cloth, and then they greeted an old man.
He has some wrinkles on his face and looks to be in his 60s, but considering his wealth and status, he must be much older than he looks. Wearing a white, soft and light robe, with very gorgeous shoulder ornaments, her snow-white hair was neatly combed back and cascading down like a waterfall, reaching to her waist.
With such an appearance, even Tang Xiao had to admit that it really sounded like an immortal.
"Mr. Tang Xiao." The old man said slowly, "I am Chief Director from Bangjila-Ulan, Urlan family patriarch, Rendili StarDrive. I heard that your memory is not very good, but it doesn't matter, as long as you know the weight of this name."
