Chapter 2394 The Bankruptcy of Operation Plan Zero (Part 2)
2395, The Bankruptcy of Operation Plan Zero (Part 2)
If up to this point, the Kingdom of Dawn's war against the Galactic Empire is undoubtedly very successful.
From the beginning of the war in August of 11 BBY to the end of January of 10 BBY, in more than 3 months, first the entire empire's main fleet was defeated in the Battle of Planet Kira, and then the main force of the empire's northern border was severely damaged in the Battle of Malarian Alliance.
Then they made a deal with the empire on Fangduo Planet. Now it seems that Fangduo Planet can last for a month at most.
Immediately afterwards, the Commercial Combined Fleet defeated Vice Admiral Kendall Ozil on the Birbrin planet and began to directly attack the Birbrin planet. Darth Vader failed to take advantage of the encounter with Severance Tann.
Get any bargain.
In the eyes of many people, this situation is the result of the impending collapse of the Galactic Empire!
However, the Galactic Empire inherited the Galactic Republic and had a heritage of 25,000 years. How could it collapse within three months?
The Kingdom of Dawn's progress was finally blocked.
Although Operation Plan Zero was perfect, it started the war at the wrong time, which caused the Dawn Kingdom to fight hastily and the Galactic Empire to defend in chaos. As a result, Severance Tann forced the plan to annihilate the Empire on the planet Kira.
After the main fleet in the Southern Territory, they immediately made a big circle and crossed the Milky Way to attack the 12th Army of the Galactic Empire in the Eastern Territory.
Such a radical strategy that cares only about the beginning and the end naturally gave Darth Vader the opportunity to act recklessly and completely disrupt the Kingdom of Dawn's deployment.
So, after a chaotic battle between the two sides, the Galactic Empire once again relied on its decaying and huge body to support itself.
In addition to Darth Vader's explosion of the Yago-Dur planet, a man appeared who allowed the Galactic Empire, a high-rise building that was splendid on the outside but already decaying on the inside, to survive again.
Ironically, he is not the human being that the Galactic Empire has always admired.
He is a Chiss, a genius who was abandoned by the Chiss leader.
Mis-ro-nurudo…
Thrawn!
…
10BBY, January 30, Lieutenant General Kendall Ozil, who commanded and guarded the Galactic Empire's northern defense line on the planet Birbrin, was dismissed due to a disastrous defeat.
The Governor of the Ninth Army of the Galactic Empire, Dunn-Wessex, urgently mobilized Vice Admiral Thrawn to go to the planet Birbrin to block the attack of the Kingdom of Dawn's northern fleet, the Commercial Combined Fleet.
And when Vice Admiral Thrawn came to the planet Birbrin, what he took over was just a piece of chicken feathers.
After deploying a large number of surrounding warships, the imperial fleet stationed on the planet Bilbulin still has 400 capital ships and more than 3,000 small and medium-sized warships. Looking at this number, it can be said that the strength is still there. But if you look carefully, then
It's really eye-catching.
Many warships in this fleet have experienced the Battle of the Malarian Alliance and the last Battle of Birbrin Planet. The warships that survived these two defeats are basically dilapidated. Not only the warships, but also the Empire
Navy officers at all levels were also in low morale and unable to fight.
Before Admiral Gilad-Pellaeon was taken away by the Inquisition, he gave the rotation order to the garrison. He ordered those warships that had some damage but did not need to return to the dock for overhaul to be dispersed and deployed to the North
Go up to other planets in the border defense line and repair them on site. Then transfer an equal number of intact warships from these planets back.
In this way, on the one hand, the northern defense line will not collapse due to the deployment of a large number of warships. On the other hand, it can also maintain the strength of the fleet in the direction of Billbrin's planet as much as possible - after all, the main attack direction of the Commercial Combined Fleet is already very obvious.
During the more than a month that Lieutenant General Thrawn served as the commander of the Northern Defense Line, he continued to resist the geth's harassment on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also cooperated very well to implement the policies left by Gilad Pellaeon.
of this deployment.
As for Lieutenant General Kendall Ozil, who served as the commander of the planet Birbrin, the only correct decision he made was to continue Gilad Pellaeon's order and constantly rotate damaged warships and replace them with new ones.
, which allowed the fleet of the planet Bilbulin to regain some combat capabilities.
But all of this was completely ruined when he led his troops to attack on his own initiative, and was hit head-on by Admiral Mar-Tooke, the commander of the Commercial Combined Fleet, who hit him hard on the head with a stick, causing blood to flow from his head.
The remaining fleet of the Bilbulin planet has once again returned to its dilapidated state.
And what's different from the last time is that Admiral Mar-Touk will not give the Imperial Fleet more than a month to slowly rotate the warships.
After being replenished, the Kingdom of Dawn's commercial combined fleet has basically returned to approximately 80% of the level it had before the outbreak of the Malarian Alliance Battle.
There are a total of 170 battleships, 440 heavy cruisers, and more than 3,600 small and medium-sized battleships. And what is very deadly is that most of the battleships installed in the Commercial Combined Fleet have extremely excellent performance. Among the Imperial Fleet, only the Imperial-class Star Destroyer
The 900-meter-long Victory II-class Star Destroyer has almost been reduced to a fire support ship.
It is extremely ironic to have a 1,600-meter-long Imperial-class Star Destroyer compete with a more than 800-meter-long heavy cruiser.
"General Thrawn, this is a summary of our fleet's situation. Please take a look at it." Vice Admiral Thrawn's current adjutant, Voss Parck, came over with the information.
Voss-Parker was a minor aristocrat from the planet Krulag. According to his family's plan, he was admitted to the Imperial Naval Academy and became a naval officer. During the Clone Wars, Voss-Parker held the rank of captain in the Navy.
He served on a Jaeger-class battlecruiser and fought against the geth for a long time in the northern theater.
After the Clone Wars, Voss-Parker was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and served aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Chimera as a staff officer.
It was also here that he met Thrawn and was deeply impressed by Thrawn's outstanding commanding skills. From then on, he has been following Thrawn. And this time, when Thrawn served as the commander of the northern defense line, he also
He promoted Voss-Parker to colonel and stayed with him as his adjutant.
Lieutenant General Thrawn also gave him full trust in this solid and reliable young soldier.
However, after Thrawn took the fleet information, he just glanced at it and threw it aside. He slowly said: "I need all the information about Mal-Took, and at the same time, it also includes information about the Neimoidians, and
Of the Trade Federation.”
"It's ready, General." Voss-Parker immediately took out a new memory, "I'm sorry, General, I just thought you might want to know the current status of this fleet first."
"Please collect and understand this matter for me." Thrawn patted him on the shoulder. (End of Chapter)
