【Building a country does not rely on dreams, it ultimately resorts to iron and blood.
——Excerpt from "The Hundred Years' War—A Chronicle of the Fourth Reich's War"]
...
The Battle of Terminus ended with a disastrous defeat for the Galactic Republic and a disastrous victory for the Dawn Planet.
The Galactic Republic fleet had to leave all ground troops and retreat, they only had about 30 battleships left, and almost every battleship suffered serious damage.
Of course, before they retreated, the ground troops on the planet had actually been dispersed long ago, losing all possibility of retreat.
The power of orbital airborne tactics is that orbital airborne troops can smash the entire front into pieces, and then force the enemy to fight in every area at the same time. The disadvantage, of course, is that almost every airborne soldier will fight in an almost desperate situation.
Such an army also exists in "Halo". They are all ordinary people, but they have the steel-like will to fight and the spirit of not fearing sacrifice. No matter when and where the war breaks out, they will always be the first to jump into hell.
That's right, after Tang Xiao saw Matt Horner's battle plan, he immediately thought of such an iron army—Hell paratrooper ODST!
Such an army was not manufactured, but formed after a long period of precipitation under the influence of discipline, honor, and belief. And such soldiers do exist in the hands of the Fourth Civilization—the Fourth Legion.
Thus, this orbital airborne force that reversed the situation in one fell swoop was established.
They also brought victory to Terminus Star Wars!
Tang Xiao believes that in time, the Fourth Civilization will also have their own ODSP!
The Battle of Terminus was finally over. In this battle, the Galactic Republic invested 92 large warships and 244 small and medium warships. Most of them were destroyed, leaving only 11 large warships and 23 medium-sized warships. Small warships were able to go back, and more than 600,000 naval officers and soldiers were killed.
There were also 11,000 fighter jets of various types, with more than 9,400 lost and 8,900 pilots killed.
In terms of ground troops, 19,000 clone soldiers were killed and more than 600 were captured. More than 88,000 local garrison troops were killed and 120,000 were captured.
The Fourth Civilization invested 110 large warships, 80 small and medium warships, surviving 30 large warships, and 33 small and medium warships. More than 27,000 naval officers and soldiers were killed in battle, and more than 700,000 robot crews were lost. All were B-1 combat droids, but more than 200 of the expensive T-series tactical droids were also lost.
And the fourth civilization invested a total of 18,000 vulture robot fighters, only more than 1,000 were preserved, while the other 3,000 ghost fighters lost more than 1,900, and 400 Viking fighters lost more than 80. In addition to deducting 1,100 pilots who participated in the rebirth plan and were resurrected in new cloned bodies, 800 fighter pilots were actually killed.
On the ground battlefield, the Fourth Civilization Army lost more than 31,000 soldiers and more than 60,000 robots of various types. As for the most elite Fourth Army, more than 4,400 people were killed in battle, and the actual number of deaths was 0.
All members of this army, which is absolutely loyal to Tang Xiao, joined the rebirth plan. Almost none of the soldiers of the Fourth Legion had a family. They had nothing to worry about. The only thing they had to do was to be loyal to Tang Xiao and kill all enemies who stood in the way of the Fourth Civilization and Tang Xiao on the battlefield.
But even so, such a heavy loss is unbearable for the Fourth Civilization.
After the battle, the first thing Tang Xiao said at the Confederation of Independent Systems held on the Lasax subplanet was, "After this battle, Planet Dawn has completely lost its strategic offensive capabilities."
His words are not exaggerated.
During the battle of the planet Terminus, the war reserve accumulated by the Fourth Civilization for ten years was exhausted.
Before the start of the war, the Fourth Civilization had a total of 150 large warships. In the following time, about 50 ships were successively in service, and nearly 40 ships were lost in previous battles. But this time, more than 80 large warships were directly lost, equivalent to half of all warships.
So in addition to the C fleet defending the Endor galaxy, the garrison fleet on the planet Terminus, and the defense fleet of the 18th Army of the Republic on the planet Glenson, which is the main fleet on the planet Eliadu, the Fourth Civilization is indeed In fact, there are no more mobile fleets to take the initiative to attack.
For them, the greatest significance is to occupy the transportation hub Terminus planet, thus encircling the 18th Army of the Republic on three sides, which will play a decisive role in the future strategic development.
Moreover, in order to prevent the Republic from launching a counterattack on the planet Terminus, the Fourth Civilization also began to make many arrangements.
The secret organization Freemasonry Alliance promoted by Tang Xiao began to take effect, and the Semiers immediately accepted multiple orders, and even shirked the warship manufacturing plan of the Federation of Independent Galaxies, and began to build the Agniev-class starship on the planet Semirs. Base part frame.
The Jiwen people have not yet separated from the Galactic Republic, and declared their neutrality during the war. They made a big noise in the Galactic Parliament, resolutely preventing the 20th Army of the Republic from going south to reinforce the 18th Army of the Republic. At the same time, they also began to build a new type of main battleship according to the needs of the fourth civilization.
Although it has not yet expressed its position to join the Freemasonry Alliance, the Trade Alliance, which has begun to align with the strategy of the Fourth Civilization, has sent a large number of engineering spacecraft and a large number of B-1 combat robots to the planet Terminus.
The most powerful one is the Interstellar Banking Association. In addition to giving the Fourth Civilization a large amount of low-interest war loans, Sang-Hill and Tyron Heavy Industries set up an industrial base on the planet Onderon that is also constantly producing monster-level warplanes. A line of cruisers, this fleet has secretly headed to the planet Christopher Sis, and began to open a hyperspace channel to establish contact with the planet Terminus.
At the same time, given that the battle launched by General Grievous on Planet Bosavi was also coming to an end, General Grievous did not continue the madness of the ritual offensive, but was blocked by the Galactic Republic during this battle.
The battle for Bosavi's planet is on the verge of failure.
In order to hold back the Galactic Republic, prevent them from adding troops to the 18th Army, and buy enough time for the defenders of Planet Terminus to build a defense line, Tang Xiao immediately ordered Severance Tann's fleet Continue to expand the achievements in the core circle of the Republic and attract the attention of the Republic.
At the same time, another chess piece he had arranged before also started a more blatant move under his instruction!
...
For the Galactic Republic and the 18th Army, losing the Battle of Terminus is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The bad thing is naturally that after losing this traffic artery, it will be difficult to limit the fourth civilization's strategic offensive... But the good thing is that they have actually restricted it.
