2247. Direct Battle
"The Republic's support of the Suolo family's restoration is a huge setback for the Milky Way's democracy! What crime has the Corellian Galaxy committed? The Republic actually supported an anti-government force without warning. What position do they place the current Corellian government in? " On the huge screen, Count Dooku was giving an impassioned speech. His expression was extremely agitated, and as he spoke, he waved his arms with great vigor.
"All citizens of the Milky Way who can hear me, open your eyes and take a look! This is the Republic, this is the true face of Palpatine! They flaunt democracy, but they are supporting royalty. They flaunt equality, but they are constantly exploiting the backward galaxies. They flaunt freedom, but the Grand Republic Army spreads the fear of war to every corner of the Milky Way!
"Today, Palpatine can support the restoration of royalty. Tomorrow, he can do the same thing on any planet! What's more, he can even overthrow the Republic's superficial democracy, dissolve the parliament, and ascend to the throne himself! Look at Palpatine, who is gaining more and more power in the parliament! Haven't you sensed his ambition for power? Haven't you seen the greed in his eyes?
"We, the Independent Star Federation, solemnly declare that we will fight against royalty, against feudalism, against totalitarianism to the end! We will never allow the Milky Way's democracy to backslide! The restoration of the Suolo family is a blasphemy against civilization! We will never recognize this so-called king! And all those who are willing to fight against totalitarianism are friends of the Independent Star Federation! And we will use our lives to protect the power in your hands! Long live democracy! "Count Dooku raised his hands and shouted.
Schiff Palpatine sat in his office, looking at the screen in front of him. Suddenly, he burst into a terrifying and twisted laughter. "Hehehehehe … Hahahahaha … That cute disciple of mine seems to have improved! By putting himself in a place where he opposes totalitarianism, he has successfully made himself the rightful ruler, and … "
His eyes suddenly turned a terrifying gold, and for a moment, he was filled with a murderous aura. "And you even said that I want to be the Emperor … Emperor … Hehehehehe … Count Dooku, do you think that by saying that, I won't dare to be the Emperor? Looks like you've made up your mind! Then let me see, will you get the midpoint, or will I … "
…
After Count Dooku made his statement, the representative of the Corellian Galaxy, Gamm-Bell Iblis, also made a public statement, throwing all the blame on the Republic. He said that the people of Corellia had done nothing wrong to the Republic, but the Republic had inexplicably supported the restoration of the Solo family. This was equivalent to publicly announcing the death sentence of the current government.
Under such circumstances, the Corellian Star System, which had suffered an undeserved calamity, would rise up in resistance and resolutely stop the restoration of the Soro Family, protecting the democratic achievements of the Corellian people over the past 300 years. Moreover, he emphasized that the Corellia Star System would leave the Galactic Republic and would not join the Independent Star System Confederation. Instead, they would choose to be independent. The specific plan for independence was still under discussion.
However, Iblis also expressed that the Corellian Star System was very supportive of the Independent Star System Confederation's proposal to abolish the monarchy and build democracy. He believed that after Corellian became independent, the two sides would establish a very friendly relationship.
At the same time as the statement was made, a strong gravitational wave was suddenly emitted from Planet Delar. Four of the Republic's fleet that was gathering near the Corellian Star System were immediately hit by this gravitational wave. Without any resistance, they all disintegrated, including the crew inside, into palm-sized pieces!
Seeing this, the Republic's fleet hurriedly retreated to a place ten light years away from Planet Delar, not daring to go any closer.
This was another function of the midpoint. After the midpoint was activated, the anti-gravity devices on the five habitable planets of the Corellian Star System and the midpoint itself would form a gravitational system. When this system was combined and used on the midpoint, it could emit a strong gravitational wave that could affect any region of the Milky Way. And when this system was activated, each individual had the ability to create a small gravitational wave. However, this small gravitational wave's area of effect was limited to the vicinity of the Corellian Star System.
In other words, each of the five habitable planets of the Corellian Star System was a powerful weapon! After learning this, Dan Solow, who had occupied Selonia, immediately organized the scientists to study the anti-gravity device on Selonia, trying to find a way to use it as soon as possible.
At the same time, the Bureau of Science and Technology, which had already installed a hyperwave inertial momentum sustaining device in advance, immediately activated a short-range hyperspace jump. Sixty small battleships arrived on Selonia and surrounded it. The Bureau of Science and Technology's ground forces also began to attack the anti-gravity device that the King's Party had occupied.
But now, the Corellian government would have to pay for the bitter fruit they had sown, because they had lost control of the anti-gravity device too easily! The anti-gravity device was hundreds of kilometers underground. In such a place, the Corellian government's air force, which had absolute superiority, could not do anything. They could only send their ground forces into the narrow underground tunnels to fight the fierce pirates. How could the loosely trained soldiers of the Bureau of Science and Technology be a match for these fierce pirates? After paying a heavy price, they still could not break through.
On the battlefield in space, the other fifty or so small battleships of the Bureau of Science and Technology headed directly to the midpoint. They began to exchange fire with the pirate ships near the midpoint, and covered the transport ships that took off from Planet Tauros as they prepared to land at the midpoint. They wanted to regain control of the midpoint.
In the airspace near the midpoint, although it was a small scale battle, it was incomparably tragic. The pirates piloting the small space warships used their skilled flying skills and fierce fighting style to fight against the Bureau of Science and Technology's fleet. But space battles were different from ground battles. No matter how weak the Bureau of Science and Technology's fleet was, they were still equipped with CR-90 support ships and DP-20 anti-air gunships. These were all warships produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, and their performance was outstanding. The 150-meter long CR-90 support ships were widely used by the Republic, and the DP-20 anti-air gunships were 120 meters long, equipped with numerous point defense systems, specially designed to fight against small space warships!
Moreover, no matter how untrained and cowardly the Corellian army was, firing their cannons was not a problem. The difference in performance and size made up for the difference in the number of people on both sides. After more than ten of the space warships were shot down, the pirates began to scatter and flee.
But just as the Bureau of Science and Technology's fleet was about to win, a sudden change occurred! Suddenly, two large warships left the hyperspace jump and directly arrived near the midpoint! After leaving the hyperspace jump, the bodies of these two large warships were still flashing with countless light spots. This was the energy reaction caused by the forceful breaking of the isolation field!
These two warships did not have a style that everyone was familiar with. They were about 600 meters long, and the lines were rather smooth. They looked like they were segmented, but the markings on them clearly indicated that they were warships of the Galactic Republic!
