————————————————————————
Tang Xiao stood in the office. In front of him was a holographic projection. A tall and muscular old man, about 60 years old, wearing a majestic military uniform, with a thick beard and bright eyes.
Governor of the Model Sector, Volgograd-Kanidi.
"What? You finally made up your mind to retire me?" Canidi said coldly without any pleasantries.
The corner of Tang Xiao's mouth turned up slightly, and he said: "The Model Sector, in the past, was a very remote sector in the Milky Way, with a backward economy, poor industry, and a sparse population. The only thing worthy of praise is that it is rich in resources, well...
Very rich. But to be honest, there are many resource-rich galaxies in the Milky Way. Among the interstellar mines established in unmanned galaxies, which one does not have planet-level mining intensity?"
Volgograd-Kanidi did not speak, but looked at Tang Xiao coldly.
Tang Xiao continued: "In the past, the only way in and out of the Model Star District was the Annaji Galaxy. From there, you could go to the Seriya Galaxy, and then you could enter the main waterway and go to other places in the Milky Way. But for such a closed galaxy, now
But it has a developed industry, a sufficient population, and a prosperous economy... In fact, once you cut off the external hyperspace channels, it can completely become a paradise, and as far as the single and remote transportation in the Model Sector is concerned,
, doesn’t seem difficult to do.”
Volgograd-Kanidi has also been in contact with the culture of the Dawn Planet for a long time, and naturally understands what Utopia means. He snorted coldly and said: "I gave the people of the Model Sector a home, and I tried my best to let them live.
Get better. As the border of the Dawn Principality, we are also exerting our own strength. The Model Sector has done everything it can!"
"With your intelligence, you should know why we have this conversation today. You should also know that this is the first time we have spoken on the phone in the past six months." Tang Xiao said.
"I have a clear conscience." Canidi said solemnly.
"The Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not believe you, nor do they believe the Model Sector." Tang Xiao said, "And you should know the reason."
Volgograd-Kanidi asked rhetorically: "Is it true that between us, the Principality of Dawn and the Galactic Republic, we can only fight to the death?"
A mocking smile appeared on Tang Xiao's lips and he said nothing.
"I said, ten years ago." Canidi added.
The smile on Tang Xiao's mouth gradually disappeared.
"You have fanned everyone with your enthusiasm for war and expansion, hiding the fact that this war actually has nothing to do with us." Canidi said, "There is no need for us to be hostile to the Galactic Republic, because we are originally the Galaxy.
Part of the Republic. Follow the rules of the game and develop step by step... When the war broke out, the 19th Army and the 18th Army served as our barrier. With the power of separatism, they had no ability to invade our territory! Then, with the help of
Our industrial capabilities will gradually expand our voice, and within fifty years, Planet Dawn will become a prosperous place."
Tang Xiao sneered: "And it only took me ten years."
"No, you spent ten years and did better." Canidi shook his head, "But this is another concept you confused - because no one asked you to do all this in ten years.
Except for yourself. And we have no pressure to survive, except for yourself. You told us that you saw that the Dawn Planet would become a battlefield, but does the war you saw really have anything to do with us?"
"It really has a lot to do with us." Tang Xiao's smile became inexplicably sinister.
"It was you who chose war." Canidi said coldly.
"There are actually not a few people who know this, but you are the only one who dares to mention it in front of me." Tang Xiao said coldly, "Do you want to answer? Then let me tell you - the opportunity is here.
In my hands, I will naturally not leave it to my next generation."
He looked at Canidi's holographic projection and said slowly: "So now, can I still trust you to hand over the Model Sector to you?"
"For your ambition?" Canidi asked.
"Yes, for my ambition." Tang Xiao admitted it without any hesitation.
"If I refuse, I will die, maybe honorably, but that doesn't matter. Then the administrative management of the Model Sector will be purged, and the authority will be reorganized into those who are loyal to you personally...and then the Galaxy
The Republic may really attack the Model Sector, and the war will still sweep through every place." Canidi sighed, "The war ignited by you can no longer be extinguished..."
Tang Xiao said nothing, waiting for his reply.
Canidy was silent for a long time and said: "If this is the case, the disaster suffered by the Model sector will only be more serious. Foreign officials will not be trusted, and the battle will become a disaster... Now only I can defend this place.
...Let Matt Horner go."
Tang Xiao still didn't speak, still looking at him with a sinister expression.
Kanidi said slowly: "He Yuan will be relieved of all duties and return home to prepare for her pregnancy...I accept the surveillance of her by the agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Jin Chen is an important military commander and cannot be replaced rashly, but I promise to you
I guarantee that once he makes any change, I will be the first to shoot at him. The Model Sector, loyal to the Principality of Dawn, will not change its position."
"Oh... If this is the case, your status in the hearts of those people will plummet." Tang Xiao pretended to have a pity expression.
"Stop being hypocritical." Canidi said coldly, "You have always known my position, but you have never stopped the actions of the Ministry of Military Intelligence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who do you think I am?"
"It's not you I don't trust, but the other people in the Model Sector." Tang Xiao said, "This time, it's just the beginning. Your real test is far from coming. The development of the Dawn Principality is inseparable.
Open the Model Star Sector, and the Model Star Sector, as the rear area of the Dawn Principality, will only develop better and stronger due to its unique geographical location... By then, how will you deal with yourself?
What? You should know that the problem here can only be solved by you, because if it is left to me..."
He raised his hand and waved it gently, and Canidi felt a stinging pain on his neck!
"The Model Sector...will be filled with blood."
An hour later, a direct order came from the Grand Duke's Palace of the Principality of Dawn - Admiral Matt Horner went to the Yago-Dur system to take charge of local defense.
Governor of Volgograd-Kanidi continues to dominate all military affairs in the Model sector. The upcoming battle in the Model sector will be commanded by Kanidi.
In the next few hours, dozens of senior officials with independent tendencies in the Model sector were dismissed from their posts. At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs dispatched an investigation team to the sector and conducted an investigation into the administrative agencies of the sector.
…
20BBY, July 16.
Frontline outposts reported that small formations of the Republic appeared in the unmanned systems near the Yago-Dur system. These small combat formations began to clear the hyperspace blockers deployed by the Principality of Dawn in these systems and clear the shipping lanes.
July 17.
The Dawn Principality reconnaissance plane reported that it discovered a space station built by the Galactic Republic in an unmanned galaxy only 3.5 light-years away from the Yago-Dur galaxy. According to the reconnaissance, this space station has a modular design, and every part is installed
He picked up the hyperspace engine, flew over like a spaceship, and then started assembling it!
This is a total waste of money!
If it is based on such standards, it is impossible to imagine how many such forward bases the Galactic Republic has built nearby!
In the afternoon of the same day, reinforcements from the Eriadu system arrived in the Yago-Dur system. Now only the Titan battleship Xuanwu and 10 other battleships were left in the Eriadu system, and all other warships that could be sent out were sent out
.
July 18.
The Gran sent their defense fleet from their home planet, the Golden Rock Planet, to the Yago-Dur system.
At the same time, a small combat formation of the Republic clashed with the patrol fleet sent by the Yago-Durr system. There was a melee between the two sides. Both sides lost some frigates, and the Republic lost an additional Karak-class light cruiser.
July 19th.
Matt Horner dispatched a squadron to launch an attack on the Republic Space Station in the previously discovered unmanned system. After arriving, he found that 10 Jaeger-class battlecruisers had already been stationed in the unmanned system, and the fighter formations of both sides conducted preliminary battles.
After the battle, they returned without success.
July 20, 9pm Galaxy Standard Time.
Contact was lost with the UY-19 outpost on the outskirts of the Yago-Dur system.
At 9:28, contact with the TR-26 outpost was lost.
At 9:40, the PB-112 outpost sounded an alarm, and contact was subsequently lost.
At 10:30, Patrol Formation No. 56 sent an alert, claiming to have encountered a Republic fleet, and then lost contact!
At 10:51, contact with outpost TR-49 was lost.
At 10:55, Admiral Matt Horner left the planet Yago-Dur and entered the A star base on the outskirts of the planet, using it as his command center.
At 11:29, a Galactic Republic Aquitens-class light cruiser left hyperspace and appeared inside the Yago-Dur system!
At 11:48, the Aquitens-class light cruiser was destroyed by a missile, but before being destroyed, a large number of hyperspace beacons were released!
July 21, 0:32 a.m. Galaxy Standard Time...
30 warships left hyperspace and entered the Yago-Dur system, near the beacon released earlier!
30 battleships, all Jaeger-class battlecruisers!
The second Yago-Dur system battle officially breaks out!
30 Jaeger-class battlecruisers launched long-range bombardments in the direction of the Yago-Dur planet. Their goals were very clear, and they did not pay attention to the two Agonev-class interstellar bases and various other space ports and space stations surrounding the planet.
, but directly bombarded the planet!
Although these bombardments were all blocked by the planetary shield and did not cause any damage, they also set a tone for this battle——
Do whatever you can!
The 30 Jaeger-class battlecruisers did not continue to advance. They just entered a defensive formation and were passively defensive in the face of the long-range attack by the Dawn Principality fleet.
The two sides are separated by about 10 light minutes, which is also the maximum combat distance of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser. From this, it can be seen that the current battlefield situation was actively chosen by the Republic fleet.
At 1:14, the second batch of Republic fleets arrived. They included 10 Knight-class Star Destroyers and 5 large umbrella battleships - shield ships.
This kind of shield ship was originally used to support a large-scale shield to protect engineering ships when carrying out engineering operations in some extreme environments, but now it has been brought to the battlefield by the Galactic Republic!
After the five shield ships arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, they immediately propped up their shields and established a small safety zone of approximately 100 kilometers.
The 10 Knight-class Star Destroyers began to press forward, relying on their super firepower 8 times that of the Jaeger-class to bomb the Principality of Dawn fleet from an ultra-long range!
However, at such a distance, the firepower of both sides has little accuracy. Even if they launch missiles, there is no possibility of success under the joint air defense system composed of dozens of warships.
At 1:41, a very strong signal appeared again in the hyperspace fluctuations.
Immediately afterwards, the huge 8,000-meter-long body of a Commander II-class dreadnought appeared in space. At the same time, there were more than 100 small and medium-sized warships leaving hyperspace!
These warships include DP-20 anti-aircraft gunboats (said to be gunboats but actually frigates, 120 meters long), Aquitens-class light cruisers, Karak-class light cruisers, CR-70 frigates, and more than 20 various logistics ships
Supply ships.
Logistics ships include maintenance ships, medical ships, supply ships, etc. These ships have begun to enter the protection range of the shield ship, providing the most basic and fastest maintenance for our own fleet.
Taking into account the advanced bases established in the surrounding unmanned systems, it is not difficult to judge that the Republic Fleet intends to fight a protracted war here!
On the bridge of the Commander II-class dreadnought, a general in military uniform, meticulously dressed, with his hair neatly combed back, stood in the center.
He looks to be in his early 40s, but his military rank is already that of an admiral!
Gideon Tarkin, Admiral of the Galactic Republic. The reason why he was able to become an admiral at such an age and serve as the commander-in-chief of this huge fleet is indeed because he has a powerful person.
Brother - the current Governor of the Fourth Army of the Republic, Wilhuff Tarkin!
That's right, for this attack on the Yago-Durr system, Gideon Tarkin was transferred to the 20th Army and became the highest military commander under Governor Octavian Grant, with full authority to command the Yago-Durr system campaign.
!
In fact, this is also a power compromise within the Republic's military - the two popular figures under Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, Cassio Targ, supported by Dunne Wessex, and Wilhuff Tarkin
Gideon Tarkin, his younger brother, attacked in one direction.
