1601. Military meeting
During the Battle of Ennako, Admiral Kourney, commander of the main fleet of the 17th Army, was cut off from his supply line. He was attacked from behind by the surprise attack fleet sent by Lingliang, creating a pincer attack.
And at that time, due to a series of proactive offensive actions, the supply consumption of the main fleet of the 17th Army was extremely high, and even some battleships could not even replace their shield capacitors!
Although the supply line had been opened in the rear, before the supplies were delivered, Ling Liang seized this last and best opportunity and launched an active attack.
She forced Admiral Kourney to conduct a fleet battle under extremely unfavorable circumstances, and the results were self-evident. The main fleet of the 17th Army suffered heavy losses, and Admiral Kourney did his best to maintain the last core of the fleet-the three Commander II-class dreadnoughts.
In the end, Admiral Kourney brought back about half of the battleships, but the damage to these battleships was relatively serious. Three Commander II-class dreadnoughts were destroyed, one was destroyed, and another was severely damaged.
In fact, the original plan of the Battle of Ennaco was indeed harassment, but General Kourney made a series of wrong judgments when faced with the supply line being cut off. As a result, General Ling seized the only opportunity to inflict heavy losses. .
Even if he had persisted for a few more hours, the situation would have been different.
Tang Xiao asked the military to complete a raid, and General Ling overfulfilled the task. Under such circumstances, the possible actions of the Galaxy Republic became predictable.
For the Principality of Dawn, this is a good thing.
Because the Galactic Republic will launch a powerful offensive against the Principality of Dawn in the near future, this is certain. The Galactic Republic cannot allow the Principality of Dawn to declare its founding like this, and will definitely react.
Of course, they cannot let go of the Confederation of Independent Systems. In fact, when the Supreme Military Conference was held, the Galactic Republic's military operation against the planet Salukami, where General Grievous's main fleet was based, had already begun.
In addition, during the recent war, the warships of the Principality of Dawn have an increasing performance advantage over the Galactic Republic, which has also caused a sense of crisis in the Galactic Republic!
You must know that even though the war has been going on for more than two years, the Galactic Republic has never really taken the Dawn Planet and the Federation of Independent Systems seriously. The huge gap in national power gave the separatists the only chance to threaten the inner circle as soon as possible, and then let the noble families who were afraid of war force Palpatine to negotiate peace.
As the war continues, separatism has gradually been unable to threaten the core circle of the Republic, and their forces have even basically withdrawn from the inner circle. In this case, the nobles and wealthy families watching from the other side will naturally not begrudge a war that they can win by just sitting at home and waving money.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it can give the Galactic Republic a sense of life and death crisis, which shows how big the performance gap between the two warships is!
This is so big that the Republic seriously believes that the performance and technological development of the Dawn Principality's warships can make up for the gap in national power between the two sides, so it is really possible to defeat the Republic head-on!
Since such concerns are common, it is not difficult to obtain relevant information.
Therefore, the Principality of Dawn is certain that the Galactic Republic will launch an offensive in the near future, but the problem lies in the direction of the offensive.
Currently, in the area controlled by the Principality of Dawn, there are two transportation thoroughfares - the planet Yago-Dur and the planet Eriadu.
Needless to say, the planet Eriadu is a major transportation hub and economic center between the Middle Ring and the Outer Ring, with a very high strategic position.
Although the Yago-Durr planet is on the main hyperspace route, because this galaxy is a three-body galaxy, its transportation value is not as good as the Eriadu planet. But the Galactic Republic already has some speculations about the Jivin people helping the Dawn Principality to build Titan battleships, so they also have good reason to attack the Yago-Dur system.
In addition to these two directions, it is not ruled out that the Galactic Republic will take action on the planet Christophsis in the other direction.
From the map, the planet Christophsis is
An enclave of the Principality of Dawn, but in fact there is a hyperspace channel between the two places, but the distance is just a little farther.
So if the Galactic Republic wants to attack the planet Christofsis, the Principality of Dawn will also have the problem of being beyond its reach.
Finally, there is the planet Rendili.
Ever since the Rendili Star Power Corporation coerced the planet of Rendili to join the separatists, the Galactic Republic had blocked the Rendili trade route, making Rendili truly an enclave. It's just that because of the powerful industrial production capacity of Rendili Interstellar Power Company, the scale of Rendili's defense fleet is constantly expanding, so it is not that easy to defeat Rendili.
As for the North, the main theme there is no longer the war between separatism and the Republic, but the racial war between intelligent life and mechanical life. So whether or not to fight in that direction is the same thing.
Therefore, the four directions of Yago-Dur, Christofsis, Rendili and Eliadu are what the Dawn Principality needs to deal with, and it is also what needs to be discussed at the current Supreme Military Conference.
Qi Jian made a few marks on the holographic star map, and then said: "Sir, according to the recent report from the Intelligence Department, we have noticed large-scale hyperspace fluctuations in the direction of the 20th Army and the 17th Army of the Galactic Republic. In addition to your previous belief that the Republic will launch a direct attack on the Model Sector, we believe that their military operation should still be aimed at our homeland."
"Model Sector..." Tang Xiao sat at the top with a stern gaze, "I can feel that there is a pair of eyes peering in that direction in the darkness... Darth Sidious wants to kill me now, and More than ever before! He destroyed the Jedi, got Darth Vader and a large number of Force-sensitive people who fell to the dark side, and his power is growing."
He knocked on the table lightly, "So, he will point the finger directly at me! This is not a military or strategic judgment, but an arrangement of the Force. Fate, there must be something between me and Sidious. It’s a fateful battle, and Sidious, he will think that this battle is now.”
"You mean, Darth Sidious may also come?" Qi Jian asked seriously.
"What I am sure of is that when he sees the possibility of killing me, he will definitely appear at the scene. But before that, I have no way of judging." Tang Xiao said.
"Then how do we judge whether Darth Sidious wants to take a shortcut and directly attack our core? Can't he attack from the direction of the planet Eriadu with a frontal attack?" Ling Liang asked.
"Because he can't wait, and... doesn't want to wait." Tang Xiao said lightly, "He has begun the countdown to becoming emperor, and my head is the best gift for his enthronement ceremony. He won't Accept the steady move... kill me, and he will get the inheritance of the dark side! At that time, he will truly become a one-man Sith!"
"Even if the Galactic Republic wants to attack the Model Sector, they cannot only attack from this direction. There will definitely be offensives from other directions to involve our forces!" Qi Jian said, "So, we still have many problems... …”
