657. Bespin Line of Defense
The Bespin planet would be attacked again. Tang Xiao and the Fourth Civilization Command had already expected this. After all, for the Dawn Planet, the Bespin Planet was not only a huge source of resources, but also a very important transportation hub. road!
This time, the most critical part of Tang Xiao's plan for the planet Christophersis is the hyperspace channel of the planet Bespin!
Therefore, the construction of the Bespin planet's defense line began to operate within the first second after the planet was captured.
The core part of the defense line is the Agniev-class interstellar base!
However, the construction of such a huge interstellar base will take at least a year. This has been confirmed by the Given people. They have built two Agonevs outside their home planet, Yag-Dur. Level interstellar base.
After all, the planet Yag-Dur is not only the home planet of the Given people located in the inner ring, but also because it is the super dock of the Ragnaroff-class Titan battleship!
Fortunately, the Galactic Republic was not aware that right under their noses, such a low-key and well-developed Givenian had become a member of the Confederation of Independent Systems, nor did they expect that they would dare to build a super power here. Battleship!
But this is beside the point. At that time, Tang Xiao and the leadership of the fourth civilization racked their brains in order to form the defense line of Bespin in a short period of time. Finally, a master architect came up with a plan - using local materials, Use the floating city around the planet Bespin as a base!
The plan was immediately approved and work began immediately. At that time, the Given people disassembled some core components that had been built for a long time from the two ready-made Agonev-class interstellar bases around the Yag-Dur planet and secretly transported them to the Bespin planet.
After careful screening, the engineering team of the Fourth Civilization finally selected Shefa City as the core framework of the new Agniev-class interstellar base.
Shefa City is a factory floating city with a diameter of 6,000 meters and a height of about 7,000 meters. Its shape is the closest to the Agonev-class interstellar base. It is a boxy umbrella shape.
Moreover, this floating city was originally built as a large factory to process the main structure of Cloud City when Cloud City was built. After the construction of Cloud City was completed, Xiefa City mainly did some work of refining and processing materials, and The gases rich in various elements on the Bespin planet are extracted, processed into some rare materials, and then sold.
In this way, it will be much simpler to transform this floating city. The materials can be processed directly on site and then installed.
Finally, when choosing a construction team, the Fourth Civilization chose the Vathians, who had recently joined the Fourth Civilization.
They were originally affiliated with the Airu people. Later, the Airu people foolishly started a war with the fourth civilization. After being severely beaten, the fourth civilization also took advantage of the situation and instigated the Warthians to rebel. Tang Xiao personally canonized the Warthian elders as Wathians. The Pope of Zion and built a golden altar for them, completely winning the loyalty of the Vathians.
So this time, the Vathians, who wanted to contribute to the fourth civilization family, took the initiative to undertake the construction of the Agonev-class interstellar base on the planet Bespin.
They invested 1 million skilled workers to go to the planet Bespin, and these workers were all excellent engineers. They are very skilled in mechanical processing, manufacturing, and the construction of large buildings. They don't even need to explain too much from Dawn Planet's engineers. And the most important thing is that they are very strong. They can complete many constructions even if they cannot control the SCV. Work.
And what is very impressive is that the Vathians are not only strong, talented in engineering, hard-working, but also very adaptable. They can even survive in the space environment for half an hour after closing the pores in their bodies. Another time, because there were some problems with the spaceship transporting supplies, these Varsians actually worked for a week without food, and they did not fall behind the progress of the project at all, which greatly impressed Tang Xiao.
Therefore, with the efforts of all parties, the Bespin planet actually built a magnificent Agoneev-class interstellar base in just two months!
In addition, there are 700 Gauss firepower platforms, 300 hangar platforms, and more than 100 empty minefields.
Now, this solid line of defense is under full attack from the main force of the 19th Army of the Galactic Republic!
The huge force of 80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, 20 Aquitens-class light cruisers, and 20,000 fighter jets [Note 1] is enough to make any opponent tremble.
As for the defenders of the Fourth Civilization, except for 5 Cole-class battlecruisers and 5 Martha-class heavy cruisers, the others are all small battleships. Including 10 Apocalypse-class light cruisers, 10 Brown Bear-class heavy destroyers, 100 Cobalt-class heavy frigates, 150 Guard-class air defense destroyers, and more than 500 Mango-class Spear-class light frigates.
In addition, there are more than 120 Pulse-star light frigates, more than 50 Revenge-class light destroyers, and even the Hammer-class frigates that have been retired from active service have been dragged out and controlled by B-1 robots on the battlefield. Supporting these warships are 10,000 Vulture robot fighters and 2,000 Ghost fighters.
Igor Zavalov's deployment for the first stage of this battle is to use a large number of frigates and rely on the Agonev-class interstellar base for defense.
The commander of the Galactic Republic Fleet, Admiral McGrane, also directly assumed a strong attack posture this time. 80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers directly pressed forward, relying on powerful firepower and a large number of fighter groups to resolve the battle at once.
In this way, no matter what moves you have, you can only go head-to-head with his fleet! And this has never been something the Republic's fleet has ever worried about!
Admiral McGrane called his tactic the 'axe tactic'. It's like using a tomahawk to chop someone, it goes forward without leaving any stamina. It's bullshit. What you want is to chop you to death with one axe, without even using the second blow!
80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers withstood the dense firepower of the defenders. After paying the price of destroying 5 battleships, they approached the Yuncheng area, and used the battleships' powerful sensors to detect all stealth fighters and stealth fire platforms, and directly followed up. The defenders of the fourth civilization launched a meat-crushing battle!

[Note 1: I need to mention here that I have enlarged a lot of data in this book. In terms of setting, the size of the military force in "Star Wars" is very strange. During the Clone Wars, 159 V-19 fighter jets were used in the Battle of Murinster, but they were all called "large-scale use of V-19 fighter jets." This puzzled me very much. On the one hand, both the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems have thousands of galaxies with strong industrial capabilities. On the other hand, only a handful of 3 or 4 Jaeger-class ships participate in each battle.
But the problem is, even if you only have 3 Jaeger-class ships, you still have the capacity to carry more than 1,200 fighter jets, right? And since the Galactic Empire can produce 26,000 Imperial-class Star Destroyers in 20 years, then during the Clone Wars, you wouldn’t have single-digit battleships in one battle? This is not reflected in either movies or animations.
Therefore, in many places in this book, I have enlarged the data to a more appropriate size. Of course, the result of this is that the troop strength data and settings of many battles are seriously inconsistent. This is a matter of opinion. 】
