1607. Gears of War (Part 1)
The information about the construction of the Ankeron-class Titan battleship in the Yago-Dur system caused an uproar in the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic. It was an explosion!
Because this is the Ankeron-class Titan battleship!
It goes without saying how terrifying the Xuanwu is. With the power of this battleship, the entire Galactic Republic dare not look directly at the Eriadu Galaxy. This is the power of the Titan battleship!
Now, they have determined that this Titan battleship was built in the Yago-Dur system.
How can such information make people unmoved.
After extensive analysis, people from the Republic Intelligence Department believe that this information is still doubtful, and there is indeed the possibility that it was deliberately guided. After all, as the war has progressed and the intelligence work of both sides has become more and more in place, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain intelligence. All kinds of intelligence are mixed together, true and false, making it almost impossible to distinguish.
But compared to the possibility that the information is false, the benefits brought by this information are very huge.
Because once this Titan shipyard can be destroyed, the Principality of Dawn will not be able to possess a second Ankeron-class Titan battleship for a long time. During this period, only one Titan battleship will have to defend the Galactic Republic from multiple Attacks from this direction are still beyond reach.
Not to mention that if the situation develops in the most dreamy direction, if we can capture the Titan dockyard and even obtain some complete parts of the Ankeron-class Titan battleship... then such a result will make us laugh out of our dreams!
Moreover, it is impossible for a Titan shipyard of this size to be relocated casually. Even if it is really moved, it will probably take more than half a year to reassemble and re-establish production. The Galactic Republic also achieved its goal of delaying the construction of the Ankeron class.
At the same time, the Republic Intelligence Department also received further information from the Interstellar Banking Association (S), and Rush-Clovis provided some confidential documents of the Interstellar Banking Association more than ten years ago.
These documents show that more than ten years ago, even before the war on the planet Naboo broke out, the then Damask Holding Group opened more than ten investment projects, established dozens of companies, consulting and management agencies, and All investments were given to Jiwen people.
Because before the Interstellar Banking Association was split, the planet Scipio, as the association's treasury and the planet where the core of the five people was located, naturally kept a large number of confidential documents. When the Muun faction and the human faction split, the two sides launched a series of battles for the treasury of the planet Scipio. Thornhill and the others were busy colluding with the core of five people to rob the treasury deposits, but accordingly, many confidential documents continued to be preserved. Not taken away.
When Hego Damask II was still alive, as the former co-chairman of the Interstellar Banking Association, he had inextricable connections with the association. Many of these investments in the Given people were also operated with the help of the Interstellar Banking Association. . Therefore, it is normal for Rush Clovis to be able to produce some confidential information about these investments at the time.
These investment data, coupled with some records of Dawn Planet at that time, indeed show that Dawn Planet would not have had the industrial capacity to build a Titan shipyard more than ten years ago.
And at that time, the Dawn Planet was still a member of the Galactic Republic. Even though the place was a little remote, everyone still looked up and didn't look down. If the Titan battleship was to be built here, it must not be hidden.
But the Yago-Dur system is different. No one is willing to visit this Trisolaran system at ordinary times, and the Given people act very low-key. At the same time, keeping a low profile, their shipbuilding industry has always been very developed. And even if someone does go inside the galaxy, there is a high probability that the chaotic gravity and magnetic field of the three stars will prevent the visitor from discovering the existence of the Titan battleship.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed the best place to secretly build a Titan battleship.
So after this series of investigations, the Republic Intelligence Department informed the Supreme Strategic Command of its final conclusion—the probability that the dock of the Angron-class Titan battleship is on the planet Yago-Dur is very high, but we must also be vigilant. It is possible that the Dawn Principality used this information to deliberately set a trap.
In the ensuing discussion, the Republic’s most
Two voices emerged from the High Strategic Command.
The first voice is that the planet Yago-Dur should not be attacked, because the attack in this direction is just a feint attack anyway, and the real killer move is still in the Model star sector. And it’s all a feint anyway, so why are we looking for this tough guy? Wouldn’t it be better to just wander around the planet Christophsis? Do we still expect that the fleet that is pretending to attack can swallow up the Yago-Dur system?
But another voice had a different take. They thought that if they really regarded the other fleet as a feint attack, it would be better not to do so. You go to the planet Christophsis and make a false shot. The Principality of Dawn is not a fool, so you can be frightened so easily. And the planet Christophsis really knocked down this planet, so what? Can it make the Principality of Dawn feel the pain? So they don't need to pay attention at all. Once there is a war in the Model sector, they can send all the mobile fleets there. As for the planet Christofsis, just don't want it.
The key point of a feint attack is to attack it and save it, so you must choose a target that the Dawn Principality will not be able to accept once it falls. Then this target is naturally the Yago-Dur system and the Eriadu system. Only by attacking here will the Dawn Principality feel threatened and will not dare to fully support the Model sector.
As for the previous strategic deception operation that made Dawn Planet pay attention to the Yago-Dur system, is this important? This military operation was originally going to rely on the powerful forces of the Galactic Republic to force the Principality of Dawn to fight on two fronts. How about simply stating the reason? Could it be that after the showdown, the Dawn Principality will be able to create more warships?
After a whole day of quarrels and discussions, the decision for this combat operation was made directly by Chancellor Sheev Palpatine himself——
Increase troops to the 20th Army of the Republic and open the second front in the Yago-Dur system!
The gears of war began to turn rapidly...
On July 12, 20BBY, near the planet Tatooine, the leader of the pirate fleet of Titan Security, Mira Han, led a fleet to rob a Galactic Republic transport fleet passing through Tatooine. This transport fleet carries more than 4,000 Sparti clone soldiers and a large number of heavy equipment including AT-TE tactical assault walkers and AV-7 self-propelled artillery. There is even a SPHA-T self-propelled artillery among them!
The Sparti clone soldiers couldn't be sold in the slave market because they were mentally unstable and aged very quickly, so Mira-Han simply threw them away to the Kosher satellite for mining.
But those heavy equipment attracted the attention of the Dawn Police Intelligence Department!
