Chapter 2233 Marathal Fleet Decisive Battle
2233, Marathal Fleet Decisive Battle
The battle on the planet Mon Cala finally came to an end, including the Jedi Master Kit Festo, the Republic Commander General Noble, and the Gungan representative Gaga Binks, and the Republican Army was all captured. The Mon Calamari and the Quarren are back at the negotiating table.
The core issues of their negotiations were first to confirm that the former king was killed by the assassins of the Republic. After admitting this premise, it was necessary for the two sides to continue the negotiation. Then there is the redistribution of power. In view of the fact that the Quarrens were closer to the Confederation of Independent Galaxies and the Mon Calamari were closer to the Republic, which led to the division of the planet, they need to establish an effective administrative mechanism to ensure that the entire planet sends out the same a voice. Peacock and Tamson, as representatives of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, temporarily stay on the planet Mon Cala, and they will ensure that the final result is beneficial to the Confederation of Independent Galaxies.
By the way, the 8 Jaeger-class cruisers of the Republic Fleet that were paralyzed by the Fang's electromagnetic pulse gun in the outer space of the planet Mon Cala were generously handed over to the Quarren by the Peacock, and asked them to drag the battleship back to the dock for repairs Use afterwards. Because if the Jaeger-class cruiser joins the main fleet of the Confederacy, whether it is different weapon specifications or different parts, it will increase the difficulty of logistical support, so asking the Quarren to let them guard their homeland can also deter Mon Cala Mali.
In addition, whether it is the battle that broke out in the galaxy belonging to the Alliance of Neutrals, or the decisive fleet battle between Anakin-Skywalker's 501st Independent Army and General Grievous near the planet Marathal, Tang Yu's energy was no longer involved. Because the war has been fought until now, it is not a matter of several years if the winner is to be determined according to the routine. In other words, Tang Yu's strategy of delaying the war was basically achieved at the beginning. Count Dooku will no longer accept Palpatine's strategy and sacrifice himself and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. Came behind the scenes.
Of course, just because Tang Yu didn't worry about the frontal battlefield, it didn't mean that there was no one to worry about the guardian planet. Now Jane Connor, Trench, and Fran are all leading the army as the admirals of the Confederation of Independent Systems, and they all command powerful fleets. The Blade Fleet was also divided and strengthened into these fleets respectively. In addition, during the war, the warships in the G theater where the Guardian planet was located were continuously strengthened. Tang Yu now has close to 250 warships. It is already an incomparably terrifying power!
The decisive battle of the Marathal fleet has also intensified. Many fleet battles have broken out between Anakin Skywalker and General Grievous, with each other winning and losing, and reinforcements from both sides are constantly joining in the past. The Marathal planet is a small planet in the middle of the Milky Way. It is also a member of the Alliance of Neutrals [Note 1]. This planet produces a very efficient fuel, so it is also considered a strategic location.
The two sides hadn't planned to start a decisive battle so soon, but Asajj Ventress had just started landing on the planet Marathal, and Anakin Skywalker's 501st Independent Army had just finished its combat mission, so they were free. Come over to reinforce. Of course Asajj Ventress was not Anakin's opponent, he was beaten to the brim, and the robot army that came from mechanical life failed to beat the 501st Independent Army, so Ventress managed to save his life.
At this time, General Grievous' fleet just happened to occupy a planet of the Alliance of Neutrals, so he was also vacant. Hearing Asajj Ventress' request for help while preparing, the upright General Grievous rushed over with the fleet without saying a word.
So one side is the number one general of the Republic, and the other side is the highest military officer of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy, both of them have high status,
More and more fleets came to reinforce with friends and companions.
Now the Republic has more than 300 warships concentrated here, and more than 400 warships of the Federation of Independent Galaxy have assembled. For this reason, the Supreme Military Command with Fox Immortal and Remy as the core ordered Admiral Trench to lead his fleet to move and join the decisive battle. There are also the Fran Fleet and the Jane Connor Fleet on combat missions on standby at any time, and it is decided whether to continue reinforcements according to the combat situation.
At the same time, after receiving the safety news from Emma Frost, the Supreme Military Command of the Guardian Planet also asked Tang Jiu to go to Marathal to protect the senior generals of the Confederacy, mainly Admiral Trench, Because he was basically sure that he could be drawn into Tang Yu's team, it would be a big loss if one was accidentally chopped up by Anakin.
According to their estimates, this war may be the largest fleet decisive battle since the outbreak of the war. After the two sides are assembled, there may be more than 1,000 warships participating! ! This scale should be said to be second only to the Coruscant air battle that took place in the original plot, where the two sides invested a total of more than 2,000 warships.
When the fleets of the two sides confronted each other, the war on the ground in Marathal also started again. Both sides landed a large number of ground troops from the two hemispheres of the planet to confront each other. However, at this time, the Galactic Republic suddenly invested in the latest weapon, the electromagnetic proton bomb! ! This kind of bomb is powerful, and after the explosion, through the proton chain reaction, it can generate an extremely powerful electromagnetic pulse wave, enough to cover an area of several kilometers!
Relying on the enormous power of this bomb, it dealt a huge blow to the mechanical life corps of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, and the ground troops on the planet Marathal were completely defeated after only two days of persistence. Originally speaking, after the emergence of this extremely threatening new weapon, the Confederacy should temporarily die down, at least not to tease the tiger's beard of the Republic in ground combat.
But an accident happened. One of the electromagnetic proton bombs launched by the Republic actually blasted a huge hole in the ground of Marathal! And in the pit, there actually appeared a giant beast, a giant beast that has long been extinct on this planet! ! Moreover, people have discovered that this behemoth, whether it is the lightsaber of the Jedi knight or the blaster cannon, or even the powerful turbolaser cannon equipped on the latest rx-200 self-propelled artillery of the Republic, cannot cause damage to the outer armor of this behemoth !
Everyone immediately realized that if the Slo behemoth could be captured and studied, there might be a chance to develop a weapon that was as resistant to lightsabers, blaster beams, and laser beams as its shell. Armor coming! So there was a new reason for the confrontation between the Republic and the Confederacy on the planet Marathal.
As for the native Dag people on the planet Marathal, although they are extremely xenophobic and have no good impressions of the Republic and the Confederacy, they are silent now, and they are not even interested in the fight for the Slo giant beast.
Don't look at the Dag people in the original plot, all kinds of awesomeness, all kinds of rebelliousness, and even Palpatine's face, the Republic wants to sign a fuel sale agreement with them, it has to be like pretending to be a grandson, but it is different now up. The leader of the Alliance of Neutrals, who was able to support them in the Galactic Parliament, had two consecutive coups on the planet Mandalorian. Now it has officially joined the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. All the planets of the Alliance of Neutrals have been politically isolated.
And most importantly, those battleships standing in front of their house! ! Just a few warships of this kind can destroy a planet, but now, there are more than 1,000 ships in the outer space of Marathal! ! Under such a situation, if you are full of pride, swallow mountains and rivers with anger, and take a look at the dense signals on the radar screen, you can just shrink back obediently and act like an ostrich.
What Slo giant beast, what kind of fuel, has nothing to do with me, when you get a result, and then send a letter, I will give it, can I give it? That's what Naka-Urus, the commander of the Dags, thinks.
In this way, the fleets of the two sides have had several outpost battles in the space near the planet Marathal, with each winning and losing. More than a dozen warships were destroyed, but there has been no major conflict yet. But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
[Note 1]: Although it is not clearly stated in the setting, according to the plot of the animated version of "The Clone Wars", the planet Marathal undoubtedly belongs to the Alliance of Neutrals. Because if the Republic wants to buy fuel there, it has to sign an agreement with the local Dag people eagerly.
