In such a chaotic situation, it is conceivable that the Imperial military will be involved in a lot of energy, so Governor Octavian Grant and Admiral Gideon Tarkin can only watch the Dawn Kingdom on the way.
The star gate built on multiple planets is gradually taking shape.
The Kingdom of Dawn seems to use a large number of pre-installed parts and then send them directly. For this purpose, they specially dispatched a small fleet to continuously clean up the hyperspace between the planet Yago-Dur and the planet Fondo.
waterway to avoid being intercepted by the Galactic Empire fleet.
Although the current imperial fleet does not have the ability to intercept it.
As a result, in just over a week, the star gate being built next to Planet No. 3 in the Fangduo Galaxy has begun to take shape!!
This construction speed shocked Octavian Grant, because if the Star Gate was built at such a speed, then the Kingdom of Dawn would be able to build a complete Star Gate network in a short time. From this, it can be inferred that Dawn
The interior of the kingdom is probably completely covered by the Stargate network!
This is simply terrible!
But now, the defenders of Planet Fangduo dare not take the initiative to destroy this star gate. Because they are simply unable to defeat this powerful fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn.
However, soon, something happened that made Octavian Grant even more entangled.
On August 34, Admiral Severance Tann suddenly turned around and took away two-thirds of the fleet that was attacking the planet Fangdo. This huge fleet began to turn around and turned on the hyperspace engine.
He left just like that!
Severance Tann took away the Titan battleship Yuanzhu, all the Apocalypse-class battleships, 7 Archon-class aircraft carriers, and most of the capital ships.
Only more than 300 battleships, led by the Titan battleship Xuanwu, and more than 2,000 small and medium-sized battleships are still stationed on the third planet of the Fangduo galaxy. General Ling also arrived here at this moment and took over the command of this squadron.
Reorganize the First Task Force.
This behavior is a complete slap in the face and provocation!
According to intelligence from the Imperial Intelligence Agency, Severance Tann's fleet returned to the planet Yago-Dur that night, and then took a little more than half a day to appear in Eria, tens of thousands of light-years away.
Planet Du, and then came to the already occupied planet Kira.
With such a series of maneuvers, her huge fleet was completed in less than two days!
On September 1, the Kingdom of Dawn's Second Task Force, led by Severance Tann, completely surrounded the planet Vogel. The defense fleet of Vogel only resisted for less than two hours before declaring
Total destruction.
During this process, the defenders of Planet Fangduo remained silent, even though Severance Tann withdrew most of the fleet in front of them, and launched a large-scale attack on Planet Vogel without any concealment.
David Grant and Gideon Tarkin didn't dare to make any changes.
They have a huge force of 1,000 battleships, but they are so afraid of the 300 battleships left behind by General Ling that they dare not take the initiative to attack.
The reason is that the "Star Gate" is under construction!
With the Titan battleship Xuanwu and more than 180 Hells Angels-class battlecruisers, Gideon Tarkin believed that he would not be able to defeat General Ling's fleet in a short period of time. And if he could not win quickly, then next to him
This star gate is likely to send a large number of reinforcements.
Severance Tann's fleet might come through the Star Gate that day and then wipe out their entire army!
Yes, although Severance Tann transferred to the planet Kira in two days and then launched an attack on the planet Vogel, did these two days really take two days, or was Tann deliberately slowing down?
Did the footsteps give them an illusion?
Once there is a miscalculation, what Gideon Tarkin dares not to happen now will happen - a fleet battle!
If it loses in the fleet battle, Fondo Planet will follow in the footsteps of Kira Planet - all fleets will be sent away in the decisive battle, and then the separatists will easily land on the planet, and then be occupied in a short period of time!
In other words, if the fleet is still there, even if the planet is riddled with holes, there is still a chance for everything. However, if the fleet is gone, then the planet will become a piece of meat on the chopping block, without any resistance.
Governor Octavian Grant could only send a message to the Imperial Center, stating that he was not strong enough to take the initiative. He hoped that the Imperial military would organize another fleet to intercept Severance Tann's main fleet.
So amid such hesitation, on September 3, the planet Vogel, which had resisted for only two days, announced its surrender, and the 17th Army of the Galactic Empire was declared destroyed!
At this point, you may be confused. Why was the 17th Army of the Galactic Empire so easily destroyed in two days? Before, whether it was the 19th Army, the 18th Army, or the 14th Army that was destroyed by the Technology Alliance, they were all destroyed in the northern border.
The 8th Army was destroyed. These armies put up very determined resistance and were finally destroyed after a long battle.
But in fact, it is not difficult to draw conclusions by listing the planets under the jurisdiction of the 17th Army of the Galactic Empire.
The Galactic Republic began to divide the 20 armies. The 17th army, also known as the Chrome Shield, has its capital on the planet Vogel. It has jurisdiction over the planet Naboo, the planet Ennaco, the planet Marastal, and Ha
That's right, in fact, the 17th Army was already riddled with holes.
Since the Kingdom of Dawn occupied the planet Eriadu and destroyed the 18th Army, every military operation they conducted in this direction was fought on the territory of the 17th Army.
Including the Battle of Marastal and the Battle of Harunkar that broke out in the middle of the Clone Wars; and the Battle of Ennaco launched by General Ling at the end of the Clone Wars in order to contain the Galactic Republic. And now this time, Seve
Lance Tann lured the Imperial fleet to the planet Naboo and annihilated it in one fell swoop, and then invaded and occupied the fortress planet Kira.
After this series of battles, the military strength of the 17th Army has long been destroyed, and the administrative system is also riddled with holes. After the planets of Marastal and Harunkar were occupied by the Kingdom of Dawn, their own jurisdictions were also fragmented.
, the most important hyperspace channel was cut off, making backup difficult.
So why even though the transportation location of the planet Vogel is actually more suitable for controlling hyperspace channels and is closer to the planet Eriadu, in order to block the Kingdom of Dawn, the Galactic Empire set up a military base and garrisoned troops on the planet Kira, but did not choose Vogel.
Planet Geer, this is the reason.
The 17th Army has long existed in name only. Their governor, Lynch-Hauser, has long since given up on Planet Vogel and gone to the center of the empire to work remotely.
This time, Severance Tann just nailed the coffin board of the 17th Army completely. (End of Chapter)
