Chapter 2229

2229 : Retreat as Advance

10 Jaeger-class cruisers jumped out of hyperspace and appeared around the planet Mon Cala. After this period of civil war, the starfighters and battleships deployed around the planet Mon Cala have been emptied, but these hunter-class cruisers are still very conscientious in forming defensive formations and thoroughly scanning the surroundings of the planet.

After confirming safety, 2 Cheerers-class assault landing ships and 15 GR-90 medium-sized transport ships also jumped out of hyperspace and appeared outside the planet Mon Cala. Because the planet Mon Cala is completely covered by the ocean, the ground support capability of the Cheer-class assault landing ship is useless. At this time, it is more cost-effective to use other transport ships to transport troops.

After entering the atmosphere, the hatch of the Cheerer-class assault landing ship was opened, and a large number of submarines were dropped. From the GR-90 transport ship, clone soldiers and Gungan soldiers wearing underwater combat equipment also jumped into the ocean. . After completing the landing mission, the Cheer-class assault landing ship is suspended at a low altitude of more than 100 meters above sea level, serving as a logistics supply base. The GR-90 transport ship is constantly going back and forth between space and the surface of the planet, and also transports the materials carried on the Jaeger-class cruiser.

The army of the Republic that had been dispersed during the offensive and defensive battle of Mon Cala City also began to regroup, preparing to launch a new round of attacks.

...

In the command center of Mon Cala City, Nosor, the chief of Quarren, panicked and shouted to Peacock: "The Republic! The Republic has sent reinforcements again! What should we do? What should we do? The army we have now is far from theirs!! "

Peacock didn't panic. He just took a sip of Coke and said slowly: "Since the Republic began to use a large number of natural troops, it has also been bold in using troops. Most of the troops sent this time are Gungans." Right? Two Cheers-class ships, 15 GR-90 ships, plus the carrying capacity of the Jaeger-class class, they have invested close to 100,000 ground combat troops. Is it true that I don’t feel sorry for the death of one of my own people.”

"Medusa jellyfish can't stop the 100,000 army of the Republic." Tamson said beside him. He has become more honest these days, at least he has seen some clues, and understands that if he continued to act perversely like that at that time Well, it's not the turn of the Republic, and he will fall as soon as the Quarrens turn their backs, without any suspense. After all, they have lived and developed together for tens of thousands of years, and the relationship between the Quarrens and the Mon Calamari is absolutely inseparable. If there are disputes and fights between them, it is a family matter. If outsiders incite them to kill each other , that is a matter of state!

"Then what should we do? What should we do?" Nuo Suoer began to mutter again.

"What should I do? It's very simple, give up Mon Cala City and go back to Quarren City." Peacock said lightly.

Nosor jumped up and said loudly: "This is impossible!! We have made such a great sacrifice to occupy the city of Mon Cala, and now we are going to withdraw?? Then the blood our soldiers shed for this battle is not the same. In vain!!"

Peacock put down the Coke can in his hand and said: "It's not in vain, because the Mon Calamari army has been defeated, but we have saved our strength and retreated to Quarren City. What will happen next?"

"But they still have the support of the Republic!!" Nosor said bitterly.

"And we can only rely on the support of the Republic!" Peacock added, "Our purpose is to allow the Quarren to occupy the main voice and control the entire planet of Mon Cala, not to kill one of the races." Said Seeing a cold flash in her beautiful eyes, and glaring at Tamson, the shark-like general quickly lowered his head and dared not speak any more.

"But what does this have to do with us giving up the city of Mon Cala!!" Nosor was indignant.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Peacock's mouth, "Of course it does matter, because in this case, those who collude with outsiders to interfere in Mon Calamari's internal affairs are undoubtedly the Mon Calamari, so how much prestige does Prince Lee-Char have left? "

"What about the army of the Republic?"

"The only ones who can defeat the army of the Republic are the Quarrens," Peacock said.

"But that's an army of 100,000!"

"Of course I have a way." Peacock smiled slightly.

...

"Those separatists have retreated." In a large submarine as the flagship, Jedi Master Kit Festo said, looking at the city of Mon Cala from a distance.

"It seems that they have succumbed to our military might, hahahahaha!!" A rough laugh sounded, and the speaker was General Noble of the Republic. He was a typical human soldier in his forties, with a face Full of black stubble.

"So we won? Can we have a banquet? Huh?" Garga Binks, the Gungan commander, was also here, and he said with a wave of hands and feet.

Kit Festo shook his head and said: "We can't give up our vigilance yet. The Quarren army has not suffered much loss. Now we have completely withdrawn to Quarren City. We must always be on guard."

The Mon Calamari commander Jill Akbar, who has been beside them, said beside them: "This civil war has lasted for more than a month, and it should come to an end. If we can defeat the Quarren army, we need to fight as soon as possible." ...It is not a good thing for time to be delayed like this."

General Noble cast a meaningful glance at Akbar, and said slowly: "The city of Quarren is located in the deep sea, and that depth is beyond the range of the Gungans' underwater activities. Our army is only equipped with deep-water combat uniforms. Clone soldiers can arrive, but it is very difficult to defeat the Quarren within a short period of time. You need to be prepared for a long-term battle."

Prince Lee-Char raised his hand and asked weakly: "The Quarren people have been asking for negotiations, since that's the case, why not talk to them again?"

"Hahahahaha!" General Noble laughed as if he heard a joke. He raised his hand and wanted to pat Prince Lee Char on the shoulder, but he realized that it was too impolite, so he turned his palm and patted Prince A Keba said on his shoulder: "You still need further training, Your Excellency. The Quarrens assassinated your father and took the lead in provoking the civil war. Now they are scared to retreat when they see the army of our Republic coming to help. What do you think? How far can you talk to them?"

Jill Akbar's face changed drastically, but because of that herring face, ordinary humans couldn't see the change in his expression at all. His fist was clenched tightly, and it took a while before he let it go. -Prince Charles said: "The general is right. It is not the best time to negotiate now."

Prince Lee-Char nodded.

Akbar turned to Kit Festo and said: "We Mon Calamari are very grateful to the Republic for supporting us, but because enough blood has been shed in this civil war, I hope to end up with the Quarrens. Come to the negotiating table. And please help us... the Mon Calamari will always stand by the Republic."

Kit Festo nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Captain Akbar, our purpose is not killing, but peace. This is true whether it is for the planet Mon Cala or for the entire galaxy."

General Noble looked at the Jedi Master with an inexplicable sneer on the corner of his mouth.
