"All the major cities on planet Murkana have been occupied. According to the plan, I should announce on behalf of the planet to return to the embrace of the Republic and establish a legal new government." On the bridge of the flagship, Admiral Tarkin slowly spoke to the holographic projection in the communicator.
There were two people on the holographic projection. One was an old man in his sixties — Jedi Master Ron Shrien. The other one was a female. She was a Zabrak from Dathomir, just like the Jedi Master Ace Koth who had sacrificed himself. However, her skin was pale yellow. She was the other Jedi Master in this battle, Bor Chattak.
"Now is not the best time to do so. Although we have occupied these cities in name, the attacks against us have not stopped for a day," Ron Shrien said in a deep voice.
"That's why I want to ask you this question. Why have you not made any progress for a whole week after I destroyed the resistance of planet Murkana?" Admiral Tarkin said slowly.
In fact, in the face of a Jedi Master, even an admiral would have to be respectful. But Tarkin was different. On the contrary, he was bossy and bossy towards these two masters. In fact, this was because of another layer of his relationship. Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin was a trusted aide of the Galactic Council Chairman, Shiv Palpatine! This was also why he dared to order the orbital bombardment. To him, it was just a matter of acting first and reporting later. When the time came, as long as they could deal with the 'rebellion' on planet Murkana, it would not be difficult to modify the sequence of events.
But now, even the good old Ron Shrien could not stand it anymore. He shouted angrily, "You should ask yourself this question! Why do all kinds of terrorist attacks never stop! Why do you want to establish a provisional government, but you can't even gather the cabinet members! You should ask yourself, why did you order the orbital bombardment at that time! "
Admiral Tarkin's expression changed. He said sternly, "You should know that most people on planet Murkana support the separatists! If they are not brutally suppressed, then more planets will do the same! Because they will see that the price of rebellion is not serious! But on the contrary, if these fence-sitters see that the result of rebellion is orbital bombardment, then they will not dare to do it! "
As he spoke, he pointed at the nose of Shirien's holographic projection and said loudly, "You know nothing about fear and deterrence! You stupid Jedi Knights only know how to fix the problem, and fix the problem wherever it is! You have never thought about the reason behind it! You have never thought about how to prevent the same thing from happening in the future! On the contrary, there is only us! Only someone as far-sighted as Mr. Speaker is doing his best to clean up your mess! Where did you get the courage to accuse us!? "
"Then you must have thought that after the orbital bombardment, the entire planet would be against it, right?" Schrien said coldly.
Admiral Tarkin crossed his arms and thought for a moment before saying, "I have to admit that Planet Murkana's resistance has exceeded my expectations. I'm not a stubborn person, which is why I'm thinking that perhaps I'm being too kind … No, no, no, to be more precise, the current Republic doesn't have a place for my Tarkin Doctrine to survive. Only a strong government can support such a politics of terror that has penetrated deep into the bones. Besides, relying on warships to carry out orbital bombardment is still not enough of a deterrent. I need a more powerful weapon! A weapon that is more effective than warships in destroying the will of the rebels! "
"You're crazy!" Shirien tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Perhaps … This war is something that makes people crazy," Admiral Tarkin said calmly. General Tarkin said calmly, "First of all, you have to admit that my position is essentially for peace. I will use fear to control everyone. Under fear, there will be no more war. "
After saying that, he looked at the two masters in front of him. Master Shirien's face was full of anger, while Master Chattak just stood there expressionlessly. Interesting reaction, Tarkin thought to himself. He then changed the topic and said, "Then let's get to the point. What's your plan to completely destroy the resistance of Planet Murkana? "
"Can you hold the orbital defense line?" Bor Chattak, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked.
"I've already received intelligence that the separatists didn't send many warships to this battlefield. It's mainly the 25 warships of the guardian planet and Emma Frost's 20 warships. This force is not enough to shake our defense line. The only thing we need to consider is the Blade Fleet that Tang Yu took away. Although there is a generation gap between the 200 modified Dreadnaught-class cruisers and the Hunter-class cruisers, the huge number can make up for this shortcoming. But don't worry, I still have a trump card, a trump card that is enough to destroy the Blade Fleet! "Admiral Tarkin said confidently.
"In that case, I have a plan. According to our investigation, there are two heavily damaged Davis-class frigates that have landed on the surface of Planet Murkana. One of them was destroyed in an orbital bombardment, and the other was destroyed by my apprentice, Olly Stastone, three days ago. Now, the separatists on the planet are simply playing cat and mouse with us. Any strategic objectives in the traditional sense are meaningless to them. They can give up their cities and industrial bases, as long as they can deal a blow to our strength, "Bor Chattak said.
She then paused for a moment before continuing, "But there is one place they must concentrate their forces to defend."
"What place?" Tarkin asked.
"In an alluvial plain in the southern hemisphere of Murkana, there is a capsized core ship. It should be the core ship of the Rukri Hook-class battleship that was abandoned by the separatists. According to a rough radar scan, there are at least 70000 robots stuck inside the ship, unable to come out. No matter how the separatists play hide and seek with us, they will never give up on this core ship. Moreover, the surrounding terrain of the capsized ship is very flat, very suitable for the deployment of our armored forces, "Bor Chattak said.
"This is really a pleasant surprise. Then I'll leave it to you, Master Chattak. After we settle this quickly, there are more things waiting for us to deal with. "Admiral Tarkin's lips curled into a smile.
In a Republic barracks on the ground, two Jedi Masters cut off communications and looked at each other.
"You seem to be siding with the butcher, Tarkin? Do you also think that orbital bombardment is the right thing to do? "Shryen asked with a frown.
Chattak shook his head and replied, "I absolutely do not agree with orbital bombardment, but I have to admit that even though the method is wrong, Admiral Tarkin's starting point is for the sake of peace."
"Your thinking is very dangerous, Master Chattak," Shryen said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Master Shryen. I know what I'm talking about, and I know what I should do. My conviction is still firm. In fact, this war itself is telling us that it is time to make a change, "Chattak said.
Shryen was silent as if he was deep in thought.
Chattak continued, "Then, I will lead an army to attack the capsized core ship, besiege it and attack the reinforcements. We will do our best to whittle down the separatists' strength. I'll leave the rest of the war zone to you. "With that, he jumped onto a hoverbike and sped away.
Ron Shryen silently watched Chattak's back, and suddenly let out a long sigh as he muttered to himself, "But I don't know what I should do …"
…
The Republic's clone army immediately sent an army of 30000 people to attack the location of the core ship. They also mobilized two Hunter-class cruisers and two Horeer-class assault landing ships to provide air support.
This military operation also happened to focus on Jane Connor's weak spot. She looked at the holographic map expressionlessly and remained silent for a long time.
"General Connor, I think this operation of the Republic must have been premeditated! They want to force us to confront them head-on. I think we should abandon this core ship, slow down our guerrilla operations, and wait for reinforcements to arrive, "a local Mulkana Kuriva officer said.
"You have to understand something, Colonel Miguel. Right now, we have less than 300,000 robots in our hands, and the various suicide attacks will also cause a great deal of depletion. If we abandon the 80000 robots in the core ship, it will make it difficult for us to maintain our operations. " Jane Connor said calmly. Whenever she was commanding a battle, her ruffian aura would disappear without a trace.
"But the Republic has absolute air supremacy. Be it the fighter jets or the warships floating in the air, they are all a fatal threat to us! If we were to split up and hide in the dark to prevent them from bombing, then if we rush out and engage them head-on, we will definitely lose more than 80000 robots!! "Colonel Miguel argued.
"How many fighter jets do we have left?" Jane Connor suddenly asked.
"There are still more than 400 that can be mobilized."
"I have a way to make the Republic's warships unable to support the ground battle for a short period of time. This way, we will have a chance to face the Republic's army face-to-face."
"But …"
Jan-Connor waved her hand as the corner of her mouth turned into a sinister smile. "You only think that the Republic wants to force us to expend our strength, but have you ever thought that this old lady thinks the same?"
…
"Jane Connor has launched a large-scale counterattack in the southern plains of Mulkana. Do we need to do anything? " Emma Frost asked in the Confederation fleet in the outer asteroid belt of Planet Mulkana. This time, she did not use her telepathy, giving General Trench a chance to speak. However, the expression on her face showed that she already knew the other party's answer.
"May I ask, regarding you and your flagship, the Queen of White Queen, are the rumors true?" Trench asked another question.
"It's true. That's why my fleet only has 20 warships, "Emma replied.
"If that's the case, then let's wait. Tsk tsk tsk tsk … "Trench stroked the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth." Since General Connor dares to launch a counterattack now, it means that she must have something to rely on. If she needs us, she will naturally contact us. Before that, there's no need for us to complicate matters. At the very least, in my commanding strategies, striking after the enemy's attack would always be advantageous. In a game of cards, the one who plays the trump card at the end has a greater chance of winning … Tsk tsk tsk tsk. "
…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the saturated explosions caused by the missile bombardment, tens of thousands of T-2 combat robots switched to four-legged mode and began charging at the Republic's clone army at a speed of over 70 kilometers per hour!
Xiu xiu xiu! Xiu xiu xiu! Countless energy beams and laser beams pierced through the air, and clones and robots were continuously hit and fell to the ground. However, neither side had the slightest intention of retreating! The mechanical army attacked wave after wave, while the clone army defended unyieldingly!
In the sky, a large number of V-wing fighter jets covered the Y-wing bombers as they dropped powerful bombs on the ground, targeting and destroying the few armored units within the mechanical army. Higher up in the sky, two Hunter-class battleships and two Horeer-class battleships were also hovering in the optimal position. Their turbolaser cannons had already switched to normal firing mode, firing out destructive beams that continuously exploded within the mechanical army's formation.
"Fire at Area H-339!"
