"Three days ago, Admiral Trench led his army to seal off the Malastar Galaxy," Shao Liwen said to Tang Yu as she walked into the command center. Fairy Fox was not there. These few days, she was preparing to dock with the Independent Star Federation government, so Shao Liwen was the battle advisor for this period of time.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should have beaten the Republic's judicial fleet to a pulp," Tang Yu said with a smile.
"Indeed. The Republic sent Admiral Woolf Yularen to break through Trench's blockade, but he was completely defeated by Trench. Two Victory-class Planet Destroyers were destroyed, and two Hunter-class cruisers were heavily damaged. Now, Admiral Woolf has no choice but to withdraw from the battle and ask for reinforcements from Coruscant, "Shao Liwen said.
"What's the reaction of the Republic?"
"Palpatine used this opportunity to spread the threat of separatism and continue to expand his army. At the same time, because Admiral Trench is using the flag of the Trade Alliance, the Trade Alliance is in a very awkward position. The Neimoidian Councilor Lufa Danak has repeatedly clarified in the Galactic Council that this is an independent act of the Newt Gunray faction and has nothing to do with the Neimoidians and the Trade Alliance, "Shao Liwen replied.
"Unlike the previous incidents, this time it's a direct battle between fleets … In the plot, the war did not break out because of this, but we can't place our hopes on these very coincidental plot developments. How did you judge this incident, Shao Liwen? " Shao Liwen, "Tang Yu said after thinking about it.
Shao Liwen's eyes lit up. She understood that this was a test from Tang Yu, and it was directly related to her position in Tang Yu's heart in the future. It should be noted that this time, the Guardian Empire had sent out almost all of its members to conquer the world of Star Wars. This was an opportunity for everyone. The Clone War this time was a war that would engulf the entire Milky Way Galaxy. It was a war of unprecedented scale. Everyone would have the opportunity to display their strengths. Tang Yu would also take this opportunity to re-evaluate the abilities of each member.
She organized her thoughts and said, "In fact, the war will not break out because of the Battle of Malastar. This is inevitable, not accidental. Because this war was pre-arranged, Woolf is only a relatively mediocre general. He will never be a match for one of the best generals in the Confederation, General Trench. "
"Therefore, this battle, firstly, is to strengthen the Republic's belief in expanding its military. Secondly, this victory would further strengthen the resolve of the systems that had joined the Confederation. Third, continue to push the Trade Alliance toward the Independent Star System Confederation to strengthen the Confederation. "
Tang Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his other hand supporting his cheek. He thought for a moment and said, "So, you think that war can't break out now because Palpatine and Count Dooku are still at the stage of selecting chess pieces?"
Shao Liwen nodded and replied, "Yes, that's right. Palpatine isn't a god. He can't predict the direction of the entire war from the outbreak of the future. Therefore, he must adjust the strength of both sides to a satisfactory level before the war breaks out. If there are no surprises, the Republic should have the upper hand, but the Confederation should also have the ability to pose a fatal threat to the Republic. At the same time, he has another goal … "
This time, Tang Yu's interest was piqued. He asked with great interest, "What goal?"
"From Star Wars, we can see some clues about the policies of the Galactic Empire. First, Palpatine is a humanist, because the Galactic Empire is a political system where humans are supreme. It is completely different from the Galactic Republic, where all races are equal. Second, Palpatine can be an excellent schemer, or rather, an overt schemer, but his ability to govern a country is not strong. Therefore, the Galactic Empire that he later established is a totalitarian regime that advocates military force. And one of the characteristics of such a regime is — oligarchs! "Shao Liwen said.
"This is like Germany during World War II."
Shao Liwen's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. She raised two fingers and said, "Therefore, when Palpatine divided the chess pieces, his goals were very clear. First, the human star system. Second, a star system with strong technology. Even if all the non-human star systems and star systems with weaker overall strength are within his range of exclusion, through this war, these races and star systems will be effectively suppressed, so that they will become the targets of the Galactic Empire in the future. "
Tang Yu nodded and said, "Therefore, he kept thinking of ways to force the Trade Alliance, the Galactic Banking Association, and the Technology Alliance to the side of the Confederation. At the very least, he wanted them to bet on both sides, so that it would be easier to suppress them after the war. And these powerful commercial entities have strong industrial capabilities, which can make up for the Confederation's weakness of having a large number of star systems but weak technology. "
"Therefore, Trench would use the Trade Alliance's name to blockade Malastar at such an immature time. After all, it has only been eight years since the Battle of Naboo, and the storm hasn't subsided yet. Anyone with a normal IQ wouldn't do this. Therefore, it can only be explained that the person behind this has ulterior motives, "Shao Liwen said.
Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction. Shao Liwen's analysis was reasonable, and it did indeed point out the game and struggle behind the Clone Wars. He smiled and stood up. "Let's go. I'm planning to make a trip to the spaceport. The two Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers we ordered yesterday have arrived, and I'm arranging for people to train them. "
…
Tang Yu and Shao Liwen took a Lamuda-class interstellar shuttle and flew toward the planetary orbit of Planet Guardian. Here, a large spaceport had already begun to take shape. This spaceport was a giant ring with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers. In the center of the ring was a conical main body with a diameter of three kilometers and a length of fifteen kilometers.
This ring was the docking port for large battleships, with a maximum length of 2,000 meters. There were a total of 18 berths for large battleships and hundreds of berths for small battleships. This scale was completely military-grade, and it also showed the strategic position of Planet Guardian, as well as Count Dooku's intention to turn this place into a strategic point.
The ten large battleships gifted by the Confederation of Independent Star Systems were now docked in the spaceport, including two Heaven-class cruisers, four Defiant light destroyers, and four Faith-class frigates. These battleships would go out for regular cruises, mainly to train the crew to operate these battleships, and also to conduct some combat simulation training.
