Although it broke out almost at the same time, the Yago-Dur System Battle showed a completely different style from the Model Sector Battle.
The battle in the Model Sector was classified as a surprise battle by the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic, so their plan was to attack crazily from the beginning, then quickly lay down an advance base, and then press the army into the territory to conquer the Dawn Planet in one fell swoop.
Therefore, this battle was directly characterized as a strategic decisive battle, and a huge force of 400 battleships was directly invested. It also showed that the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic attached great importance to the Dawn Planet.
In fact, the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic would never have agreed to this adventure if someone had not paid the bill and someone else had taken the blame.
That's right, even if a huge force of 400 capital ships is invested, attacking the Dawn Planet is still regarded as an adventure by the Supreme Strategic Command. In many battles, the Dawn Planet has already proven their strength. 400 capital ships are not enough.
to defeat such an opponent.
Regarding this point, the military experts at the Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic are not fools, so they naturally see it clearly.
But why did they agree to this plan? This must be mentioned in the bureaucracy of the Galactic Republic, the work style of officials at all levels - the biggest prerequisite for them to do things is not to cause trouble and let themselves bear even a little bit of responsibility.
responsibility.
To put it more bluntly, you want me to do something? Okay, let’s talk about the benefits first. If the benefits are enough, I can do it for you. But the premise of doing it for you is who will take the lead and who will take the responsibility.
?If a superior official speaks, then no problem. Since I have accepted your benefits, it is absolutely okay for me to applaud and shout.
But, you want me to take the lead? You want me to raise this matter? I'm sorry, it can't be done.
Therefore, in the Model Sector Raid War, with Kuat Dynamic Shipyard paying the bill and Kuat Dynamic Shipyard taking the blame, the Supreme Strategic Command will not suffer any losses. If the plan succeeds by chance, then they will also enjoy it together.
A huge honor.
If the plan fails, it has nothing to do with them, everything goes to Quat Power Shipyard!
As mentioned before, the battleships invested by the Quat Dynamic Shipyard actually lost the strength of the Galactic Republic in the end. But so what? This is the decision of the Quat Dynamic Shipyard. What does it have to do with my Supreme Strategic Command?
Therefore, with this idea in mind, Cassio Tagg led the Republic's expeditionary fleet to attack fiercely. Almost from the beginning of the battle, his attack never stopped.
First attack the opponent's fleet. If you are frustrated, continue to increase your troops and continue to attack! Then attack the ground of Annaji's planet. If you are frustrated, continue to increase your troops and continue to attack! Frustrated again? It doesn't matter, I will turn around and attack the Dawn Planet!
Such a crazy attack actually reflected the gambler's mentality of Kuat Dynamic Shipyard in this battle. Infected by this mentality, Casio Tagg was actually unable to make a calm judgment a long time ago.
In the later stages of the battle, Casio Tagg's mad dog-like play style actually reflected the Quat Dynamic Shipyard tens of thousands of light years away and Onana Quat's crazy attitude. This was in contrast to his role as a military academy.
The judgment of the top students went in the opposite direction.
On the contrary, Admiral Gideon Tarkin's behavior in the Yago-Dur system battle reflected the changed tactical thinking of the new fleet commanders of the Galactic Republic.
They already treat the Principality of Dawn as an equal opponent to themselves, and their marching formations are full of rigor.
This is also due to the increasing strength of the Dawn Principality, which often changes the competition between the two sides from an asymmetrical confrontation to an evenly matched confrontation between the two armies.
In such a battle situation, it allows generals like Gideon Tarkin to better utilize what they have learned in the military academy. In addition, even if Gideon Tarkin has family ties, even if
He has an extremely outstanding brother, Wilhuff Tarkin, but he has reached the position of admiral step by step. His accumulated experience and vision are naturally not comparable to those of Casio Targ.
Therefore, Admiral Gideon Tarkin adopted a step-by-step strategy, first building an advance base in an unmanned system outside the Yago-Dur system, and then relying on shield ships in a relatively distant location in the Yago-Dul system.
protection capabilities to support a frontline base.
In this way, although the troops in his hands are actually far less than those in the Model Sector Battle, in fact, the threat he poses is much greater!
And more importantly, this arrangement allows him to put more small and medium-sized warships into the battlefield, instead of having to dispatch pure capital ships due to the level of the hyperspace engine like in the Model Sector Raid Battle.
formation to fight.
In fact, a mixed formation is much more powerful than a single-arms formation anyway. Even if the types of warships of the Galactic Republic Navy, or the unique types of warships, are not as good as those of the Principality of Dawn Navy, they can still compete in the mixed formation.
By learning from each other's strengths and compensating for weaknesses, a stronger combat power emerges.
Therefore, in the Battle of Yago-Durr System, the only thing that exceeded Admiral Gideon Tarkin's expectations was the Archon-class aircraft carrier and the 20,000 swarm drones.
But just that large aircraft carrier of more than 3,000 meters and 20,000 drones are not enough to have a decisive impact on the battle situation. Admiral Gideon Tarkin knows this, and the opposite Admiral Matt Horner,
Also known.
In the last battle, Admiral Gideon Tarkin tried to use the influence of the electromagnetic storm produced by the stellar flare to launch an attack when the swarm drones were unable to take off. However, he miscalculated and the bees controlled by the Force
The swarm of drones ignored the electromagnetic storm and gave his fleet a head-on attack.
But in that battle, the Republic fleet was not without gains. In their resolute attack, they severely damaged Star Base B, one of the two Agonev-class star bases on the outskirts of the Yago-Dur system. This is very important.
Because this means that in all subsequent battles, Interstellar Base B will not be able to participate in the battle and can only serve as a cover when facing subsequent ground operations.
With such a foundation and further reinforcements, it is not surprising that Admiral Gideon Tarkin believes that he still has a chance of winning.
The only variable is whether the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser he has been waiting for for a long time arrives first, or the Dawn Principality's fleet rushing to rescue from the Model Sector arrives first!
While Gideon Tarkin was constantly planning to wait for the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser to arrive before launching a new round of attacks, on the outskirts of the Yago-Dur system, inside the A star base, Matt Horner also
