2179,counterattack

"All the major cities on the planet Murkana have been occupied. According to the plan, I should declare on behalf of the planet to return to the embrace of the Republic and establish a legal new government." On the flagship bridge, Admiral Tarkin slowly said

He said to the holographic projection in the communication.

There are two people on the holographic projection. One is a 60-year-old human Jedi Master Ron Shrien. The other is a woman who, like the previous Jedi Master Ace Koth who died heroically, is from Dar.

The Zabrak of Saumir, but her skin is light yellow. She is the other Jedi Master in this battle, Bor Chatak.

"Now is not the best time to do this. Although we have nominally occupied these cities, the attacks against us have not stopped for a day." Ron Shrien said in a deep voice.

"So I just want to ask you this question, why did you make no progress for a whole week after I disintegrated the resistance on the planet Mulkana?" Admiral Tarkin said slowly.

In fact, normally, even an admiral would be respectful to the Jedi masters, but Tarkin was different. On the contrary, he commanded the two masters. In fact, this was precisely because of his other

With high-level connections, Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin was a confidant hand-picked by the Speaker of the Galactic Parliament, Sheev Palpatine! This is why he dared to directly order an orbital bombing, because for him, it was just a matter of killing first and playing second fiddle.

Things. As long as the 'rebellion' on Planet Mulkana can be dealt with by then, it is actually not difficult to slightly modify the chronological order.

But now, even the good old Ron Shrien couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted angrily: "You should ask yourself this question! Why do all kinds of terrorist attacks not stop for a moment! Why do you want to establish a provisional government but

We can’t even get the cabinet members together!! You should ask yourself why the orbital bombing order was issued at that time!!”

Admiral Tarkin's face changed, and he said sternly: "You should know that most people on Mulkana planet support separatism! If they are not brutally suppressed, there will be more planets like this.

Do it!! Because they will see that the price of rebellion is not serious!! But on the contrary, if these wallflowers see that the result of rebellion is orbital bombing, then how dare they do this!!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the nose of Shrien's holographic projection and said loudly: "You know nothing about fear or deterrence!! You stupid Jedi only know how to treat headaches and feet. What went wrong?

Where are you going to repair it! You have never thought about the reasons behind it! You have never thought about how to avoid the same thing from happening in the future! On the contrary, it is only us! Only people with far-sightedness and foresight like the Speaker are doing their best to help you

Wipe your ass! Where do you have the courage to blame us now?"

"Then you have thought that after carrying out orbital bombing, people on the entire planet will oppose it!" Shrien said coldly.

Admiral Tarkin crossed his arms and thought for a moment before saying: "I have to admit that the resistance of Planet Mulkana is a bit beyond my expectation. I am not a stubborn person, so I am thinking,

Maybe I am too kind... No, no, no, to be precise, the current republic does not have the soil for my Tarkinism to survive. Only a strong government can support such a terrorist politics that goes deep into the bone marrow, and, only relying on

Battleships are used to carry out orbital bombardment, but the deterrence is still not enough. I need a more powerful weapon! A weapon that is more efficient than battleships in destroying the will of the rebels to resist!"

"You've gone crazy!" Shrien tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Maybe... this war is a crazy thing." Admiral Tarkin said calmly, "First of all, you have to admit that my proposition is still essentially for peace. I will use fear to control

All people, under fear, will never have any more wars."

After saying that, he looked at the faces of the two masters in front of him. Master Shrien had an angry look on his face, while Master Chatak just stood there expressionless. Interesting reaction, Tarkin thought to himself, and then he

He changed the subject and said: "Then let's get to the point. What are your plans to completely collapse the resistance on the planet Mulkana?"

"Can you hold on to the orbital defense line?" Bor Chatak, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"I have received intelligence. There are not many warships committed by the Separatists to this battlefield. They are mainly 25 warships from the Guardian Planet and 20 warships from Emma Frost. This force is not enough to shake our defense line.

The only thing that needs to be considered is the Blade Fleet that was taken away by Tang Yu. The 200 modified Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, although there is a generation gap with the Jaeger-class cruisers, the huge number can make up for these shortcomings. But don't worry,

I still have a trump card, a trump card that is enough to destroy the Blade Fleet!" Admiral Tarkin said confidently.

"In that case, I have a plan. According to our reconnaissance, two heavily damaged Generosity-class frigates landed on the surface of the planet Murkana. One of them was destroyed during orbital bombing, and the other was destroyed by us three days ago.

’s disciple, Olly Stastone, led his troops to destroy it. The separatists on the planet are simply playing cat and mouse with us now. Any strategic key targets in the traditional sense are meaningless to them. They can

Abandon the city, you can also abandon the industrial base, as long as it can attack our effective forces, then anything is fine." Bor-Chatak said.

Then she paused and continued: "But there is a place where they must concentrate their forces to defend it."

"Where?" Tarkin asked.

"In an alluvial plain in the southern hemisphere of Murkana, there is a capsized core spacecraft. It should be the core spacecraft of the Rookery Hook-class battleship abandoned by the separatist fleet. According to a rough radar scan, here

Inside the spacecraft, there are at least more than 70,000 robots stuck inside the spacecraft and unable to get out. No matter how the separatists play hide-and-seek with us, they will never abandon this core spacecraft. Moreover, the terrain around the place where the core spacecraft capsized

It is very flat, which is very conducive to the deployment of our armored forces." Bor-Chatak said.

"This is really an unexpected surprise. Then I'll beg you, Master Chatak. After we resolve this place as soon as possible, there are still more things waiting for us to deal with." A trace appeared on the corner of Admiral Tarkin's mouth.

Smile.

In a Republic military camp on the ground, two Jedi masters cut off communication and looked at each other.

"You seem to be a little bit attracted to Tarkin, the butcher? Do you also think that orbital bombing is correct?" Shrien asked with a frown.

Chatak shook his head and replied: "I absolutely disapprove of massacres such as orbital bombing, but I have to admit that although the method is somewhat wrong, Admiral Tarkin's starting point is still for peace."

"Your idea is very dangerous, Master Chatak." Shrien said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Master Shrien. I know what I'm talking about and what I should do, and the belief in my heart remains firm. In fact, this war itself is telling us that it's time to make changes.

It's time." Chatak said.

Shrien was silent and thoughtful.

Chatak continued: "Then, I will lead a legion of troops to attack the capsized core spaceship, surround the point for reinforcements, and try to consume the separatists' effective strength. I will leave the rest of the war zones to you." After that, he jumped on a

A hover motorcycle left quickly.

Ron Shrien looked at Chatak's back silently, suddenly sighed, and said to himself: "But I don't know what I should do..."

…

The Republic Clone Legion immediately dispatched a 30,000-man legion to attack the location of the core spacecraft, and also mobilized two Jaeger-class cruisers and two Cheer-class assault landing ships to provide air support.

This military action also focused on Jane Connor's weakness. She looked at the holographic map expressionlessly and was speechless for a long time.

"General Connor, I think this action of the Republic must have been premeditated! They just want to force us into a head-on confrontation. I think we should abandon this core spaceship, then slow down the guerrilla operations and wait until reinforcements arrive."

The local Kuriva officer from Mulkana said beside him.

"You have to understand, Colonel Miguel. We currently have less than 300,000 robot troops left in our hands, and various suicide attacks will also cause great consumption. If we directly abandon the 80,000 robots in the core spacecraft,

It will make it difficult to maintain our combat operations." Jane Connor said calmly. Whenever she was commanding operations, the ruffianism in her body would sometimes disappear without a trace.

"But the Republic has absolute air supremacy. Whether it is a fighter jet or a warship floating in the sky, it is a fatal threat to us! If we were broken into pieces and hidden in the dark before, making their bombing impossible, then we rush out

In a head-on battle, more than 80,000 robots will be lost!!" Colonel Miguel argued.

"How many fighter jets do we have?" Jane Connor suddenly asked.

"There are still more than 400 aircraft that can be mobilized."

"I have a way to make the Republic's warships unable to support ground operations in a short period of time. In this way, we will have the opportunity to compete face-to-face with the Republic's army."

"but……"

Jane Connor waved her hand, and the smile on her lips began to turn ferocious, "You just think that the Republic wants to force us to consume our physical strength, but have you ever thought that I think the same way?"

…

"Jane Connor has launched a large-scale counterattack in the southern plains of Mulkana. Do we need to do something?" Among the Confederate fleet in the asteroid belt outside the planet Mulkana, Emma Froese

Te asked. This time she did not use telepathy, giving Admiral Trench a chance to speak, but the expression on her face showed that she already knew the other party's answer.

"Can I ask, are those rumors about you and your flagship White Queen true?" Trench turned to ask another question.

"It's true. That's why my fleet only has 20 battleships." Emma replied.

"In that case, let's just wait. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Trench rubbed his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, "Since General Connor dares to launch a counterattack now, it means that she must have someone to rely on. If she needs us

, will naturally contact us. Before that, there is no need for us to create extraneous problems. At least in my command strategy, striking later will always have the advantage. In a game of cards, whoever plays the trump card last will have the best chance of victory.

Bigger…tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the explosion caused by a burst of saturated missile bombing, tens of thousands of T-2 combat robots switched to four-legged mode and began to move towards the Republic Clone Legion's position at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour.

Pounce away!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless blaster beams and laser beams continued to pierce the air, and clones or robots were constantly hit and fell to the ground, but neither side showed any intention of retreating! The mechanical life army attacked one after another,

The Clone Legion's unyielding defense!

In the sky, a large number of V-wing fighters covered the Y-wing bombers and dropped powerful bombs towards the ground, specifically destroying the few armored units in the mechanical life army. In the higher air, 2 Jaeger-class and 2

The Cheer-class ship was also suspended in the best position, and the turbolaser cannon had switched to normal firing mode, firing out devastating beams of light that continued to explode in the formation of the mechanical life army.

"Fire and bomb the h-339 area!"
