2402. Death of Mar-Tuk (middle)

"Uh... what is 'Old Yinbi'?" Adjutant Voss-Parker scratched his head, expressing his inability to understand the strange-sounding word.

"It's a curse word in the official language of Dawn Planet." Thrawn smiled slightly, "However, in the context just now, it can express praise and compliments."

He politely bowed to Arden-Lin as a gentleman, smiled and said, "Thank you."

"That's right, my apprentice Jing Fang taught me this." Arden-Lin said lazily, "They say you have conducted a very in-depth study of the culture of Dawn Planet, and it really seems like that. ”

"To use a saying from the Dawn Planet, 'Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger'. Only by understanding your enemies can you defeat them," Thrawn said.

"So Mal Took was stripped clean and naked by you." Aden Lin folded his arms and sneered.

"His position, interest orientation, political demands and military style all determine that there are not many options in front of him." Thrawn said with a smile.

"On the surface, you seem to have given up on the solid fortress of the Bilbrin planet, but in fact you have gained a vast strategic space, and by the way, you have also blocked the supply line of Mal-Took. It seems that Dunn-Wessex is indeed You're not wrong." Arden Lin smiled, "But don't forget that there are several Jedi around Mal Took. Don't underestimate the enemy."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me." Thrawn nodded, accepting the lesson with an open mind.

"Call me when you need it. You go and deal with their fleet, and I'll kill the Jedi!" Arden-Lin's eyes became sharp for a moment, but then he returned to his lazy look, and soon He waved his hand casually, turned around and walked towards the living area.

…

"General Mal-Took, I must remind you that I have a very bad feeling about this military operation." On the bridge of the Neimoidia, Jedi Knight Luminara Anduli spoke earnestly. said.

The other two Jedi Knights, Jax Pawan and Ferrus Olin, have been staying in the training room during this time. They do not have the cultivation of Luminara Anduri and have experienced the Clone Wars. They don't have the slightest fondness for the Neimoidians.

"I know, I know, I know..." Admiral Mar-Tuk kept mumbling, and he kept pacing in circles very anxiously.

For more than a week, he led the main force of the Commercial Combined Fleet to follow Thrawn's fleet, circling among the unmanned systems to the west of the planet Wakar.

Every time Thrawn would lead his fleet to resist to a certain extent, consume some of the merchant fleet's combat readiness supplies, and then retreat immediately, very resolutely.

Even in this series of short encounters, Thrawn showed his genius in command. During the battle, he always maintained a very tight and efficient formation, allowing the thick-skinned Empire-class Star Destroyer to attract most of the firepower, and he would also rotate very cleverly on the battlefield to do his best. Reduce battleship losses.

And when Mal-Tuk ordered the entire army to attack and the distance between the two fleets gradually approached, they quickly completed the turn and started a hyperspace jump to leave.

During this period of time, the two sides visited a total of 7 unmanned systems. These systems were carefully selected, and the hyperspace channels of each system were very smooth. This was to facilitate Thrawn to build a military base in advance - yes, every system Each system has a pre-built military base and a large amount of supplies.

These military bases are very simple and all are modular buildings, but they have abundant supplies. To use an analogy, it's like a container house filled with expensive delicacies.

After each battle, Thrawn's fleet can be replenished in these military bases, and the rudimentary facilities can be used to repair the warships as much as possible. Although the facilities are rudimentary, there is still no problem in replacing some parts and replenishing welded armor belts.

Then when Mal-Took's fleet follows, Thrawn will blow up the military base very decisively, and then quickly move to the next place after a simple battle.

This continuous battle has exhausted the commercial combined fleet. And the most important thing is that there is indeed a problem with their material supplies!

Don't forget, the current composition of the commercial combined fleet's warships is mainly cruisers! !

There are less than 100 capital ships under this fleet. The other main combat ships are heavy cruisers and light cruisers, and there are also a large number of destroyers.

Including Cole II-class and Minotaur-class battleships, although the size has been reduced to the level of a heavy cruiser, the firepower still maintains the level of a battlecruiser, but there is an implicit price - the long-term combat capability has been reduced!

Under normal circumstances, there would never be any logistical supply problems in the Kingdom of Dawn.

Because after the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the Kingdom of Dawn's first military action was to occupy the planet Bespin, one of the major sources of explosive gas in the galaxy. Then later, as the Matter Decompressor was equipped and operational, the issue of rare metals was resolved.

Then, many of the whale-class passenger ships built during the immigration process of the planet Lundili have now been converted into transport ships, so the transportation problem has also been solved.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar first published this novel.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Dawn can often adopt a mixed fleet, because their logistics supply can be guaranteed to a great extent.

But this situation does not apply to Admiral Mal-Tuk now!

He does have a lot of logistics supplies, but these materials are now crowded on the planet Dolin, and cannot be transported to the planet Palansi through the complex environment of the planet Bilbrin!

Not only that, Thrawn has obviously foreseen this situation. He has deployed high-speed fleets in several star systems around the planet Palansi, and now these fleets have begun to harass the planet Palansi. The planet Palansi, which has weak defense, can only rely on the fleet left by Mal-Tuk for defense, and it is losing sight of the other and leaking everywhere.

There is no doubt that if the current situation continues, the Commercial Combined Fleet will really face the point of running out of ammunition and food!

Mal-Tuk clenched his fists tightly, and even his body trembled slightly because of anger. He was really furious! Thrawn played him like a fool, and easily eliminated the advantage of his fleet, and put him in a dilemma.

"Withdraw... return to the planet Palansi." Mal-Tuk finally made a decision.
