1389, the planet fell
The capital of the planet Onderon, Izz City, Temple of Unity.
This huge twin building is also the administrative core of the entire planet. However, right in front of the temple, the hexagonal flags of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the flag of the planet Onderon that were hung on the left and right sides were being removed.
,ignite.
The huge flag, more than 200 meters long, was burning brightly and fell from the Unification Temple hundreds of meters high. The flames became more and more intense, like two huge fireballs.
The administrative core of the planet Onderon has been captured by the Galactic Republic.
General Akhenaten-Tandin, the supreme military commander of the planet Onderon, underestimated the determination of the Galactic Republic and misjudged the situation at home. His main force was trying its best to intercept Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tower.
As Nuo's ground troops advanced, he was stabbed in the back by Saw Gerrera.
Saw Gerrera ignored civilian casualties at all, and he had been preparing for the Galactic Republic's ground invasion a few months ago, installing proton bombs in buildings around the main roads, and it played a huge role at this moment.
At the cost of nearly 100,000 civilian casualties, he blocked General Tandin's main force outside the city.
Then, Wilhuff Tarkin directly ordered the Republic's landing force to advance regardless of casualties and forcefully break through the dense air defense firepower in Izzy City.
He also suffered losses of nearly 100,000 people, but in the end, he still captured the Temple of Unity.
At this moment, it is only 27 standard hours since the Galactic Republic officially started landing. Judging from the rotation of the planet Onderon every 26 standard hours, it is almost exactly one day.
The moment the cog flag of the Galactic Republic was unfurled from the wall of the Temple of Unity, the planetary regime of Onderon that had been inherited from the previous king Ramses Dundup completely collapsed.
The supreme commander of Onderon's armed forces, Akhenate Tandin, was dragged out of the underground bunker by Republic soldiers, handcuffed, and arrested as a first-degree war criminal.
At the same time, the Galactic Republic officially announced that it had taken over the planet Onderon, requiring all separatist armed forces on the planet to immediately lay down their weapons and surrender! Then they announced that the separatist robot commander, General Kalani, was wanted.
After more than an hour of resistance by the Royal Guards of the planet Onderon, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano led their troops to break through the frontline positions. After that, they all laid down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.
The ones who resisted until the end were the many B-1 combat robots. They were lifeless and unconscious and fought until the last one.
Capture the planet Onderon in one day!
You must know that this is not one of those backward planets in the middle and outer rings, where a fleet will just give up resistance after a random bombardment. It is an inner ring planet with very advanced industry and technology, and it is also a separatist place.
One of the important planets used to produce Behemoth-class battlecruisers!
The good news was immediately sent to Coruscant. Speaker Sheev Palpatine, who was in the parliament meeting, laughed loudly. He immediately interrupted the current topic, connected the communication of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin on the spot, and then
The holographic projection zoomed in, allowing Governor Tarkin to receive the cheers of the entire council!
That's right, the Governor of the Fourth Army of the Republic - Wilhuff Tarkin!
Official Governor! From this moment on!
"Hahahaha! My friend! My dear Governor of the Fourth Army, Wilhuff Tarkin! Your talent blossoms at this moment, and your theory has been proven correct! I believe that from this day on,
Whenever the Separatists take up arms to resist, they will think of the planet Onderon! They will think of this industrial world that was captured in one day!" Sheev Palpatine opened his arms and said loudly.
Wilhuff Tarkin just gave a very serious military salute, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "It is my duty to maintain the unity and peace of the Republic! The enemies of the Republic will surely tremble under our iron hoofs!
"
What greeted him was the cheers and applause of the congressmen.
Those loyalist MPs barked extremely hard, as if they were a group of loyal dogs.
"Now, the war is far from over. I will also work to eliminate the remaining separatist forces on the planet Onderon until they are all wiped out." Governor Tarkin gave another military salute and then closed the communication.
"Look! This is a soldier! This is a role model!" Sheev Palpatine directly gave Tarkin a definition. "Immediately arrange a special envoy and a special plane to send the letter of appointment from the Governor of the Fourth Army to Tarkin.
Governor Kim’s hands!”
…
After the communication was closed, there was no joy at all on Wilhuff Tarkin's face.
He knew that the battle was far from over. He would never think that the more than 200,000 soldiers plus a battle robot on the planet Onderon were the full strength of the separatism.
Since the war began until now, the separatists have never come out with more force.
With a fleet and an army of 7 million people, it is not surprising that the enemy was crushed by less than 400,000 people. But the problem now is...
Governor Tarkin set his sights in the direction of the Dexon moon.
There is another really tricky thing... Tarkin knows it well. But this does not stop him from immediately sending a victory report to Coruscant, and Palpatine tacitly packages this temporary victory into a glorious victory.
Big victory.
Military is military, and politics is politics. Wilhuff Tarkin's greatest advantage lies precisely in his ability to clearly and clearly distinguish between the two.
Now that political activities have been completed, all that is left is military matters.
Dirksen Satellite!
Tarkin's eyes were fixed on this very large satellite, which was actually no less than a planet.
After a day and night of orbital bombing, the surface of this satellite has completely lost its former green appearance. Instead, it is full of devastation. Countless lava and huge volcanoes can even be seen from space.
Clearly.
But such tragedy is only superficial.
Whether it is his Archon-class ship or the Chasseur-class next to it for fire support, the main gun used is a turbolaser cannon. Although this weapon is powerful, it is explosive firepower after all, and its power cannot penetrate deep into the surface.
deeper.
Therefore, although the Dirksen satellite showed that the volcano was blown up and lava flowed across it, such an attack could not damage the foundation of the huge steel city of separatism.
Fighting is still unavoidable.
At this time, Governor Tarkin suddenly remembered the Plague, a super battleship that the Separatists had once appeared for no reason. He was inexplicably thinking that if it were the Plague's super cannon with a caliber of several hundred meters, after such a round
The bombing would probably have already caused the plate movement of the planet, completely destroying everything on the ground, right?
Thinking of this, his eyes gradually turned cold.
That's right! Super battleship! This is what the Galactic Republic lacks most! Only this kind of super battleship that can directly destroy a planet can truly bring endless fear and endless deterrence to the galaxy!
A super battleship that surpasses the Plague, surpasses the Xuanwu, and surpasses the Venomous Fang! Only in this way is true Tarkinism!
Fortunately, the Galactic Republic had a plan in advance.
