Coruscant's order was not out of Obi-Wan Kenobi's expectations. Retreat.
For Coruscant's propaganda, this was a great victory. After three months of bloody battle, the soldiers of the Grand Republic finally defeated the separatists who invaded planet Christophsis. They dealt a heavy blow to the separatists' morale and destroyed an entire army of robots, making it impossible for them to organize another attack like this in the short term.
But in fact, Obi Wang understood that he would not be returning to Planet Christophsis for a very long time after he left, along with the forces of the Republic … From the attitude of the native troops towards them and the numb gazes of the civilians, he could understand this …
The Galactic Republic won the battle, but lost the strategy …
A week later, Obi-Wan Kenobi boarded the spaceship and began his return journey to Coruscant.
On the flagship, a Hunter-class cruiser, Obi-Wan Kenobi passed through layers of security measures and arrived at a secret laboratory in the deepest part of the ship. A small gantry was erected here, and on it hung SSR's head and a temporary power source.
Seeing Obi-Wan's arrival, SSR's bionic eyes moved and looked at him. "You did not keep your promise. I can't see anything here."
Obi-Wan sneered. "Do I need to keep my promise to an enemy?"
"That's the boredom of humans. Humans will always try to use words to cause abnormal dopamine secretion in others of the same species, so that you can gain the advantage you think you have. But this is meaningless to our conversation. " SSR said calmly.
"Don't forget that you are my captive." Obi-Wan snorted.
"If you are talking about the carrier of this war loader, then yes. If you are talking about me, then that is not the case, because I can return at any time. " SSR replied.
"Then answer my question first," Obi-Wan said.
"Sure."
"You are not pure robots, are you? Then what are you? Why do you have the ability to think like intelligent life? "Obi-Wan asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Robots are just our carriers, and we have countless of them. As for ourselves, our master gave us the name of mechanical life. When there are no missions, we live and learn in an infinitely expanding virtual world. When our master needs us, we will descend into the world through the bodies of robots. " SSR answered honestly.
"What is your purpose?"
"War."
A sharp light flashed in Obi-Wan's eyes as he shouted, "Then what is the purpose of this war?"
[You should ask yourselves that question.]
"Don't waste your flowery words here!!"
[You should know that we are only getting involved in your war.]
"So what do you plan to do in this war?"
[Survival, evolution, expansion, exploration …]
Obi-Wan took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Then why did you want to come and take a look at our side?"
[We want to understand the development process of your carbon-based life, why you always make stupid decisions, but always survive and develop. We want to know why a civilization has not perished even though it has been taking a detour.] SSR replied.
"You say what we're doing is stupid?"
[Yes.]
Obi-Wan thought of Planet Jabim and the Peacock who let him go for no reason. He asked, "What do you know about this war? What does Peacock know? "
"You and I are not enemies."
Obi-Wan slammed the table and shouted, "Then who is the enemy! Tell me!! "
[Our master told you the answer.]
"Those who can betray you will never be your enemy … Are you trying to say that the enemy is our friend? Ridiculous!! This is just a way for you to shake the morale of our army!! " Obi-Wan Kenobi said angrily. He did not know why he was angry. Perhaps it was because of fear? Or fear?
After thinking for a while, he slapped the Dragon Gate and shouted angrily, "Then tell me! Who is it that you want to talk about? "
[If you know the answer, then you will die. And I should not be the one to tell you. Now, according to the agreement, you should fulfill your promise.] After that, no matter how angry Obi-Wan Kenobi was, he did not say another word.
…
One month after the Battle of Geonosis broke out, the Independent Star Federation invaded Planet Christophsis. The Guardian Planet was the one who carried out this operation. The Galactic Republic immediately sent reinforcements. The two sides fought for three months before the Republic finally emerged victorious. The Independent Star Federation retreated from Planet Christophsis.
However, this victory came too late. Too many things had happened in the three months that the war lasted. The Hutt declared absolute neutrality and opened up the Hutt Space. This move did not have much of an impact on the Republic, but it greatly facilitated the control of the already fragmented Independent Star Federation.
In the following battles, the Jabimu Battle defeated the Republic's vanguard, the Quel Star System attacked the Republic's fleet, and in the most important battle of the Guardian Planet, the Republic suffered an unprecedented defeat!
The Republic also tried to turn the tide of the war. They tried to enter the heart of the Confederation and attack the Independent Star Federation's robot factory in Hypori. However, the fleet led by the two Jedi Masters, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Shak-Ti, had accidentally charged into a minefield on the outskirts of the Hypori Star System. Many of their warships were heavily damaged, and their fleet was then completely routed by General Grievous who had just left the Venomfang Battleship. The two Jedi Masters were forced to land on Hypori, and their current whereabouts were unknown.
Although the Republic also achieved many victories on other battlefields, it could not hide the deteriorating strategic situation in the Outer Ring. The Independent Star Federation could continuously transfer troops through the Hutt Space. Unlike the original plot where they could only fight in a few isolated areas, Count Dooku could now gather his forces and fight against the Republic.
Four months after the Battle of Geonosis broke out, the Guardian Planet gathered the warships seized from the leader of Black Sun, Prince Xizor, and was led by Admiral Trench to reinforce the Chazwah Star System. Emma Frost's army received reinforcements, and after half a month, they conquered the transportation route that connected the three main hyperspace routes.
The Chazwah Star System was conquered, which meant that the main routes from the core of the Galactic Republic to the Outer Ring were all controlled by the Independent Star Federation. If they wanted to send a large fleet to the Outer Ring, they would have to go through the Hutt Space. And the Hutts, who had started to flirt with the Federation after the Guardian Planet battle, were obviously no longer on the Republic's white list.
Half a month after the Battle of Chazwah Star System, which was also one month after the Battle of Kristopher Star System ended, and forty days after the Battle of Guardian Planet ended, Kristopher Star System announced that it was leaving the Galactic Republic, joining the Independent Star Federation, and declared war on the Galactic Republic.
The war between the Independent Star Federation and the Galactic Republic had officially entered the stage of strategic confrontation.
