Tang Yu frowned and said, "Palpatine is completely unprepared for the independence of the Corellian Galaxy. What else can he do? Now that they have activated the midpoint, Palpatine does not dare to provoke Corellia. We need General Grievous to launch an offensive at Malastar to contain the Republic's fleet, and then send a fleet to Corellia to provide cover. This way, no matter what Palpatine plans, as long as we can maintain the status quo of Corellia's independence, the Republic will fall sooner or later. "
Count Dooku snorted and stared at Tang Yu. "As a politician, as a leader, your weakness is too obvious. You are not ruthless enough. Do you think Corellia can threaten Palpatine? Wrong, they can't do anything. Palpatine can sacrifice a hundred, a thousand galaxies, as long as he can get to the midpoint. And correspondingly, do you think Corellia will really dare to destroy these hundred, a thousand galaxies, or even Coruscant? They don't dare because they are only merchants. That's why Palpatine's biggest problem is to find a way to stop the Absolute Chef. "
Tang Yu's expression changed. Indeed, the Republic might be intimidated by the midpoint, but Palpatine would definitely not. What did it have to do with him if he was afraid of billions of people dying in the Milky Way? He just wanted to be the Emperor! If that was the case, then Corellia might be able to hold out for even less time than expected!
He thought for a moment and suddenly laughed. "Then let Palpatine focus all his attention on Corellia and the midpoint. The trouble for the Republic has only just begun!"
"In that case, I'll leave the matter with Lendili to you. When news of Corellia's independence spreads, they should come looking for you. As for the midpoint, Palpatine will definitely come looking for me. Let me see what I can do, "Count Dooku said.
Tang Yu nodded and said, "Lendili is already in the bag. Banjira Ulan does not have Palpatine's boldness. He will give in very soon."
With that, he turned and prepared to leave. Count Dooku suddenly asked, "What do you think our chances of defeating Palpatine are?"
It was a stupid question, and it seemed to be a test from Count Dooku. Mai Yu smiled and said, "Not at all. In other words, defeating Palpatine is not a priority for us. We are definitely not naive enough to think that we can rely on these Outer Ring Galaxies to contend with the Inner and Core Circles that the Galactic Republic has operated for ten thousand years. "
"But Palpatine won't give up. How are you going to deal with him?"
"When that day comes, we'll have more allies within the Republic."
Count Dooku's stiff expression finally softened. He nodded and said, "Very good. You are not complacent about the independence of the Corellian Galaxy. Very good. But you have to remember, after dealing with Corellia and Lendili, our real enemies will also come from within. "
In the outer space of Malastar, General Grievous, who had received the general attack order, gave the order. A total of 37 B Squadrons of the Independent Systems Confederation started their engines at the same time and charged straight at the Republic's battleships. With hundreds of large battleships gathered together, it was a formidable sight even in the vast universe.
The Confederation's fleet used the Rukri-class battleship as the core. With the donut-shaped battleship's powerful long-range firepower and powerful fighter capacity, they closed in on the Republic's fleet step by step.
On General Grievous's flagship, the Invisible Hand, Fox General Trench's holographic image appeared. He said, "I suggest that we do not take off the fighter jets for now. Tsk tsk tsk, the enemy's battleships are concentrated. Taking off early will cause many of the fighter jets to be shot down by close-range firepower."
"No! Take off the fighter jets immediately! "General Grievous waved his fist and roared." Disregard the losses! Count E Ku only has one order, and that is to stall the Republic's fleet at all costs! "
The hangar platforms of the battleships opened up, and tens of thousands of Vulture fighter jets rushed out like a dark cloud, flying over in a dense mass!
At the same time, the prepared Republic's fleet immediately opened fire! The turbolaser cannons on the ship's bow opened fire at the same time, and countless light beams were fired over. On the Republic's flagship, the fleet's chief commander, General Rulf Yularen, was also constantly issuing battle orders and adjusting the formation. Beside him, the current supreme leader of the Jedi Knights, Master Mace Windu, was also present. In this decisive battle between the fleets, the Republic had also gone all out. The Jedi Knights had also sent over a hundred Jedi to participate in the battle!
However, they had never expected the Independent Star System Confederation's attack to be so ferocious. It was as if they did not care about their lives! Not long after the tens of thousands of Vulture fighter jets took off, more than 1,000 of them were shot down by the Republic's long-range firepower. However, they were still charging forward ferociously.
"The enemy's attack is too ferocious. Pull back the defense line and take off the fighter jets! The 16th and 22nd Fleets circle around the flanks! "General Yularen shouted.
"Let the Jedi Knights take off the fighter jets as well. We must support this wave of attack," Master Mace Windu added. He stroked his chin, a little puzzled. "The Separatist warships cannot compare to our Hunter Class Cruisers. Our numbers are about the same, so why would they take the initiative to attack? I seem to sense a conspiracy. "
General Yularen shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, a message suddenly came from the communicator. He opened it, and his face instantly paled. His hand loosened, and the communicator fell from his hand.
Master Windu waved his hand, and the communicator flew into his hand. As soon as he saw the content, his breathing quickened. He returned the communicator to Yularen, and said in a deep voice, "Why did something have to happen to Corellia at this time? What do they have to rely on? "
"Perhaps this is the reason why the Separatist fleet took the initiative to attack. The president directly used his emergency authority to order me to dispatch at least 100 cruisers to the Corellia Star System. However, given the current situation, how can I mobilize them so easily!" General Yularen was a little anxious.
"Moreover, the details of this rebellion are vague. There might be some inside story. We must return to Coruscant personally and meet with President Palpatine to explain the situation," Master Windu said.
"Alright then. After I repel the Separatist attack, I will also dispatch a fleet to the Corellia Star System," General Yularen said.
Master Windu took out his communicator, connected the call, and said, "Anakin, end your combat mission immediately and follow me back to Coruscant. There's an emergency Z. I'll explain to you on the way!" With that, he turned around and quickly walked out of the bridge.
Admiral Rulf Yularen took a deep breath and turned to look outside the porthole. In the pitch-black space, constantly illuminated by flashing laser beams and exploding flames, on the other side was a gathering of the Separatists' powerful fleet. But in this time of crisis, as the most economically developed Corellia Galaxy in the Republic, a rebellion had broken out!
