1239. Storm in the North (14)
After the combined fleet led by Darth Lilim arrived at the planet Oud Mantle, they did not encounter much resistance.
Fan Ke, the governor of the Eighth Army of the Galactic Republic, had lost contact with the fleet commander, Admiral Longo. He was a little confused at that time, not knowing what happened.
But he has already dispatched all his battleships, and he only has some small and medium-sized warships such as Aquintens-class light cruisers, DP-20 gunboats, and CR-70 frigates.
This is also because the generals of the Galactic Republic Navy usually only bring a pure fleet formation of Jaeger-class battlecruisers when they take the initiative to attack. The main reason is that the Jaeger-class hyperspace engine has a relatively high level and is The advantage is obvious when jumping long distances, and it can quickly reach the battlefield in the same time. If conditions permit, the expensive Cheer-class assault landing ship can also be brought along, which is also a battleship with fast hyperspace speed.
Then small and medium-sized warships often protect the transport ships at the rear. These ships have lower levels of hyperspace engines and require more jumps to reach the target.
Therefore, although special task force fleets such as the Fourth Civilization have stronger combat effectiveness, their disadvantage is that they lack maneuverability during long-distance attacks. After all, the mobility of such a task force depends on the slowest ship in the fleet.
Speaking of which, when Governor Fan Ke saw the dilapidated Republic Jaeger-class cruiser suddenly appeared on the planet Scipio and unceremoniously launched an orbital bombardment during the internal intelligence sharing of the Republic, His reaction was the same as Rush Clovis...
Passed out directly.
After the adjutant pinched him and poured cold water on him to wake him up, Fan Ke immediately ordered him to go down, pack up his things, and prepare to run away with a bucket.
Just kidding! Previously, the combined fleets of the Interstellar Banking Association and the Fourth Group almost reached the Oud-Mantel planet in one wave. They suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle for the Zhanfatar planet.
Then the appearance of the Geth made people even more distressed. Many planets were captured and massacred, and then Master Sars-Tin even risked his own life in order to find out the information about the Geth.
Now you tell me that Geist is with the separatists?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……
goodbye.
The result was that after Darth Lilim's fleet arrived, the leaderless remaining troops of the Eighth Army surrendered directly, and those spaceships that had no time to escape became the trophies of the female devil.
After taking control of the super-large space station where the Eighth Army's former capital was located, Darth Lilium issued an ultimatum to the Central Administration of the planet Oud-Mantel, demanding that the planet Oud-Mantel surrender immediately. , and accept the management of the Confederation of Independent Systems.
Planet Ode-Mantel is actually a planet ruled by countless gangster organizations. The so-called Central Administration is a management organization that takes care of things on the surface and prevents these gang bosses from making too much trouble. But externally, the gangs on the planet are quite united.
The gangs on the planet Oder-Mantel include Trandoshans, Hutts, Grans, Rodians, humans, Bothans and other notorious races in the galaxy. These races are also The races with the most bounty hunters and gangsters are naturally on the planet Oud-Mantel, and there are quite a few gangsters from these races. ….
Faced with the threat of Darth Lilim, the Central Administration of the Planet refused to give in. It directly stated that it was a neutral planet and would not help each other. It hoped that the Confederacy would not bring trouble on itself and infringe on the sovereignty of neutral planets.
Das-Lilim smiled and replied, no problem, but the Interstellar Banking Association (M) is going to open an administrative service center here. You should welcome it, right?
The Central Administration has no choice but to agree, but if it makes a request, the Interstellar Banking Association (M) can come, but it must abide by the original Clementine Financial Law on the planet Ord-Mantel.
This was created by a gangster named Clement, which is equivalent to an illegal criminal finance bill, which is full of various provisions that facilitate money laundering.
Das
-Lilim just laughed suddenly and said you still have 10 minutes to think about it.
Then she started charging the main gun of the battleship, and fired a nuclear bomb at the suburbs 200 kilometers away from the planet's capital city of Walport. A small village was destroyed in the nuclear explosion.
The Central Administration of Planet Ord-Mantel could only hold its nose and admit it, and agreed to Darth Lilim's conditions.
Then Darth-Lilim further requested that in order to protect the property of the Interstellar Banking Association (M), 3 million combat robots would be stationed, but she also guaranteed that this army would not be used to occupy the planet itself. , at most it just maintains law and order.
At the same time, there will be a comprehensive fleet including 40 kilometer-class battleships and 150 small and medium-sized warships. By the way, this fleet will also be responsible for the safety of the entire Oud-Mantel planet, so you're welcome.
After that, a large-scale construction team will come and start construction on a mountain range of more than 5,000 meters above sea level on the planet. Here, a brand new city will be built for the operation of the Interstellar Banking Association (M).
Until construction is completed, the large space station where the capital of the Republic's Eighth Army is located will serve as the temporary headquarters of the Interstellar Banking Association (M).
Finally, in order to protect this temporary headquarters, a super-large Agonev-class interstellar base with a side length of 15,000 meters will also start construction.
All construction work will be handled by the construction companies of the Fourth Group and Dawn Planet. The good news will not go to outsiders.
From this moment on, the Eighth Army of the Galactic Republic was declared destroyed.
Although the Eighth Army still nominally controls many planets in the North, with the escape of Governor Fan Ke and the invasion of the planet Oud-Mantel by the Confederate Fleet of Independent Systems, the Eighth Army has actually lost control of the North. Dominance.
Those planets within the jurisdiction of the Eighth Army lacked unified command and no reinforcements. They could only fight on their own, trembling under the pressure of the separatist forces.
After the 19th Army and the 18th Army were successively destroyed by the Dawn Planet, and the 14th Army was destroyed when Walter Tambor of the Technology Alliance occupied the planet Rynos, the 8th Army of the Republic became the 20th Army of the Republic. The fourth legion to be destroyed.
The Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic immediately made adjustments, allowing the Republic's 7th Army and 9th Army, which were adjacent to the 8th Army, to take over part of the planets under the jurisdiction of the original 8th Army, and began to deploy defense.
But the current Galactic Republic is somewhat beyond its reach to the north.
The Republic's counterattack plan was launched in six directions, but progress was slow in several directions. The only one that was progressing relatively smoothly was the 10th Army's offensive. However, in that direction, there were actually not many planets that were important to the separatists.
Simply put, the Republic has to admit that the North is out of control.
