1587. Believe
The doctor was stunned when he saw Wilhuff Tarkin actually talking to Gilad Pellaeon, and directly wearing the hat of discussing confidential military information.
"Do you need me to repeat it a second time?" Tarkin said coldly.
"No...no..." The doctor quickly turned around and walked out. He also made a trade-off at this moment. Compared to the Governor of the Seventh Army, Marceline Wessel, there was no doubt that Wilhuff Tarkin was more powerful.
Even though both of them are governors of the sector, compared to Marceline Wessel, who was in her 50s and just managed to get into a remote sector by relying on her connections and qualifications, it is obvious that Wilhelm is Tarkin is closer to the core of political power in the Galactic Republic.
After all, Marceline Wessel's Seventh Army was not on the front line at all before the Eighth Army was destroyed. Its main responsibility was to explore the unknown star field. How much power can you expect from an army whose main responsibility is exploration? ?
Compared with Wilhuff Tarkin, when he served as the governor of the 18th Army, he was responsible for guarding the Eriadu system, a transportation hub, and was also responsible for suppressing the planet Sullest. From that time on, the 18th Army was a front-line combat corps. And even after the 18th Army suffered a disastrous defeat, Tarkin could rise again and serve as the Governor of the Fourth Army!
This kind of resume alone is enough to push Marceline Wessel to the ground and rub her.
After the doctor fled in panic, Wilhuff Tarkin turned around and looked at Gilad Pellaeon and said: "Although it is Dean Conrad's recommendation, the reason why I am willing to listen to your opinion is , it’s more about you personally, Colonel Pellaeon. Although the two battles you commanded ended in failure, judging from the battle situation, your command had many highlights. To put it bluntly, I I admire you very much. Tell me, do you have any military information to report?"
Gilad Pellaeon said eagerly: "I hope to increase the number of troops on the planet Feida immediately! Because the planet Feida is likely to be the springboard for the geth to attack the planet Palin Minor, the capital of the Ninth Army!"
Tarkin frowned and said: "As the first top student at Laital Military Academy, you should not make common sense mistakes. So, what makes you ignore the geographical factors and make such a judgment? What about?"
"I don't have direct evidence. But I analyzed various data on the appearance of the Geth fleet in the past four months. There are more than 270 cases before and after. The analysis of these cases shows that more than 30 of them, the Geth fleet There is a problem with the state after leaving the hyperspace jump." Gilad Pellaeon called up his personal terminal data again.
"What's the problem?" Wilhuff Tarkin was looking at the data carefully, unlike Marceline Wessel. "Wait a minute... In these cases, after the geth fleet left hyperspace, it protected The shield is deployed and there is a process of restarting the engine?"
"That's right! This means that these geth fleets are performing hyperspace jumps with their propulsion engines turned off and their shields raised! But we know that hyperspace jumps are actually sailing in extradimensional space. Turn off the propulsion engines!" Gilad Perrine said.
He then pointed to the optical images detected by several of the sensors and said, "And you see, these geth warships still maintained an orderly battle formation after leaving hyperspace. But in fact, after the hyperspace jump, , because the hyperspace fluctuation caused by the battleship will cause the coordinates of subsequent battleships to be slightly different after they break away! If the fleet is large enough, the difference in coordinates may reach tens of kilometers! In this case, it is impossible for the fleet to remain so neat The formation!"
"So?" Tarkin touched his chin, and he also guessed a possibility.
"So I judge that these geth fleets are traveling at faster than light speed in a relatively stable and stationary state. Yes, this is probably not a hyperspace jump, but another method of traveling at faster than light speed!" Gila De Perrine said, "If we judge based on this basis, then the planet Feida is the closest springboard to the planet Palin-Minor in a straight line! So in this case, the geth's attack on the planet Feida , is not an act of robbery and harassment, but..."
Pellaeon said the last few words with a solemn expression, "Determined to win!"
There was a deathly silence in the communications room, and Gilad Pellaeon looked at Tarkin's face with anxiety.
After several minutes, Wilhuff Tarkin said, "I really want to label you as mentally ill and throw you directly into prison. However, there is another voice in my head, telling me I believe your crazy rhetoric. Well, if I give you this opportunity and let you defend the planet Feida, how many troops do you need?"
Gilad Pellaeon said without hesitation: "300,000 clone troops! And they are Kamino clones, not Sparti clones! According to my judgment, the Sparti clones are unstable My mental state will collapse at the drop of a hat if I face the Geth."
Wilhuff Tarkin laughed dumbly and said: "300,000? Do you know that even when facing the Separatism, we have never deployed such a large number of clone soldiers on any battlefield. And don't forget, Separatism Doctrine is also an army of robots."
Gilad Pellaeon supported the console with both hands and said very seriously: "Your Majesty the Governor, the geth... they are not robots. They are a completely different model from all the races we know. Race. This is not a battle for power, this is... a battle of race, a battle of survival. An army of 300,000 people may be just the beginning."
Wilhuff Tarkin thought for a while, then pressed a few times on the communicator, and another person soon appeared in the holographic projection. An old man in his 50s, bald and thin, was suddenly Pellaeon's current boss, the Governor of the Seventh Army, Marceline Wessel.
However, in front of Tarkin, the arrogant Marceline Wessel no longer existed, and was replaced by a flattering look on her face, "Governor Tarkin, it's been a long time. May I ask, what do you think of your sudden visit to me?" "
"I will recruit Colonel Gilad Pellaeon and the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army under his command to go to the planet Feida for reinforcements." Wilhuff Tarkin's tone was not one of discussion at all. Instead, the decision was made directly.
Marceline Wessel did not dare to disobey, he said: "This is natural, I will immediately arrange for the second squadron to be redeployed... However, the battleships of the second squadron were seriously damaged and currently do not have much combat effectiveness... …”
"I'll make up for it. That's it." Wilhuff Tarkin couldn't help but drop these words and closed the communication.
