“Motherland! My only regret is that I can only dedicate my life to you once!”——The Fourth Empire’s capital, Coruscant, in the center of the Imperial Square, the Imperial Heroes Monument, inscription.

The tragic defeat in the battle of Arkania was a heavy blow to the Kingdom of Dawn, which had always been smooth sailing!

It can be said that since Tang Xiao brought the mothership to this universe 25 years ago, it has never suffered such a big defeat!

In this battle, more than 4 million officers and soldiers from Admiral Mal-Tuk were killed or wounded, 37 battleships were destroyed, 384 heavy cruisers were destroyed, more than 1,900 light cruisers were destroyed, and more than 880 battleships below destroyers were destroyed!

In addition, there was 1 battleship, 5 heavy cruisers and more than 200 small and medium-sized battleships surrendered and were captured because they were completely out of ammunition and food. Although the core parts of these warships have been blown up by bombs installed, it is the first time that such a large number of warships have been captured since the establishment of the Kingdom of Dawn.

The Neimoidia warship exploded. This Infinity-class super aircraft carrier is also the second super battleship sunk since the establishment of the Kingdom of Dawn, following the Plague Titan battleship.

These have set an extremely bad precedent…

Such a disastrous defeat has put the situation of the Kingdom of Dawn in the north in jeopardy. After a meeting overnight, the General Staff first sent a message to the Geth, asking the Geth to send troops as soon as possible to harass the northern border of the Galactic Empire and involve the power of the Imperial Fleet.

At the same time, after discussion, it was decided to let the Trade Union transfer the technology design of a battlecruiser called the “Throne of Kings” from the Gallente Federation technology that had been handed over to them to the Geth, so as to enhance the fleet strength of the Geth.

Because after research, it was found that the combat method of the King’s Throne-class battlecruiser is very similar to the combat habits of the Geth, and now the industrial strength of the Geth is much stronger than that of the Trade Union, which has lost all its foundation. There is no pressure to directly build battleships of the capital ship level.

Not only that, in order to speed up the research progress of the Geth, the Trade Union must immediately send a group of experts to the core of the Geth-Sorjoron Satellite, and share their research results with the Geth so that they can apply what they have learned as soon as possible and produce more powerful battleships.

The reason why all the responsibilities are borne by the Trade Union is that the tragic defeat of the Battle of Arkania was commanded by the commander of the Trade Union, Mal-Tuk. Heroic and heroic, but the responsibility should not be less. After this tragic defeat, although the authorities of the Kingdom of Dawn will not really punish the Trade Union, it is foreseeable that the preferential treatment that the Trade Union can get will inevitably plummet, and it will inevitably fall from the first-tier super enterprises of the Kingdom of Dawn in the future.

In addition, the fleet organized by Izvosla of the Kali people and Major General Bentiras-San-Skar is also gathering on the planet Mykito. It is expected to be completed in four days and will immediately go to the planet Bilbrin.

Now the biggest goal of the Kingdom of Dawn in the North is to prevent the planet Bilbrin from falling into the hands of the Galactic Empire again. Once this fortress planet that the Galactic Empire has spent hundreds of years to build is recaptured by the Galactic Empire again, it will be a long time before it can be recaptured again.

At the same time, the Dawn planet also immediately began to organize reinforcements to rush to the North.

…

In contrast, for the Galactic Empire, the battle of Akania is a brilliant victory! !

All along, the Galactic Empire has always lost more than it wins against the fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn on the front battlefield. Even if there is an occasional victory, it is only at the cost of great losses.

However, this time on the planet Akania, the Imperial Fleet completely defeated a main fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn despite being at a disadvantage in terms of manpower! What a glory, what a hero!

To commemorate this great victory, Emperor Palpatine personally ordered that all the planets in the core circle of the Empire be given a day off and hold a celebration. At the same time, the Imperial Navy Vice Admiral Mis-Lo-Nurudo-Thrawn, who commanded this battle, was directly promoted to the Imperial Navy Admiral and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Northern Military!

The promotion order signed by Palpatine himself, as well as a medal of the highest empire, plus a large amount of money, rare metals, and beautiful women have been carried by a special delegation to the North by spaceship to be awarded to Admiral Thrawn.

At the same time, the highest executive officer of the North, the Governor of the Ninth Army, Dunn-Wessex, was also commended by His Majesty the Emperor, and he also received a special medal.

In addition, the former Imperial Navy Admiral Gilad-Pellaeon, who was arrested by the Imperial Inquisition, was also released. As a punishment for the defeat, he was only demoted one level to become a vice admiral of the navy. And Gilad-Pellaeon was immediately transferred to report to the Imperial Fourth Army, Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin.

Obviously, Palpatine gave Dunn Wessex a slap in the face and then gave him a date. He was not unaware of the title of “Two Walls of the North” and that the northern defense line was built by Gilad Pellaeon, but he still transferred Gilad Pellaeon to Dunn Wessex’s mortal enemy, Wilhuff Tarkin, which was actually a means of checks and balances.

As the emperor of the empire, after a great victory, he would reward the frontline officers and soldiers without hesitation, but he would raise and secretly descend upon the generals at the rear, and be on guard in every possible way. This is the so-called art of the emperor.

Regarding this decision, Dunn Wessex was naturally extremely angry, but he did not dare to show it at all. He had to pretend to send a congratulatory message to Wilhuff Tarkin, congratulating him on gaining a “great man”. General”.

Afterwards, Dunn Wessex invited Thrawn to his headquarters in the North, the planet Palin Minor, and asked Thrawn very thoughtfully about his needs and his views on the future war in the North. .

However, Thrawn expressed pessimistic thoughts about the war situation in the north. He believed that the Galactic Empire was still severely undermanned.

Although the Galactic Empire still has about 8,000 capital ships, such forces need to suppress rebels in various places, cope with the powerful offensive of the Kingdom of Dawn on all fronts, and maintain a strong enough guard force on the main planets in the core circle. If the burden is shared like this, more than 8,000 battleships are simply not enough!

Therefore, the biggest problem of the Galactic Empire now is that although it seems to have an absolute advantage in military strength, the Kingdom of Dawn can concentrate its troops to launch attacks at one or two points, which can form a local military advantage.

Thrawn suggested regaining the planet Birbrin as soon as possible, and then consolidating the defense. After the fleet in the north regains its strength, he can then take the initiative to fight for a direct threat to the northern core of the Kingdom of Dawn – the planet Mechito.

In order to achieve this goal, Thrawn requested that Dunn Wessex transfer the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer to his command.

However, faced with this request, Dunn-Wessex remained silent.

After a full ten minutes, Dunn Wessex slowly said: “I will directly dispatch 40 Imperial II-class Star Destroyers and 70 Imperial Star Destroyers from my direct fleet from the planet Palin Minor. -class Star Destroyer, 40 Vindicator-class heavy cruisers are given to you. But the ‘Leela’ super Star Destroyer must stay on the planet Palin-Minor.”

That’s right, Dunn Wessex, a maniac who dotes on his wife, actually named his Executor-class super Star Destroyer directly after his wife!

Thrawn’s expression remained unchanged. He just smiled slightly, nodded and said: “Being able to get reinforcements from such a powerful fleet also relieves my urgent need. Thank you very much.”

Yeah… for Palpatine, he was rewarding Thrawn and watching out for Dunne Wessex. As for Dunn Wessex, he has to be wary of Thrawn again.

Because if Thrawn continues to do this, it may threaten his status as King of the North. Moreover, Palpatine directly surpassed him and appointed Thrawn as the supreme military commander in the north. This decision can be said to have sinister intentions.

Coupled with Palpatine’s move to transfer Gilad Pellaeon, his intention to balance between Dunn Wessex and Wilhuff Tarkin is completely undisguised!

But this time, Thrawn actually asked for the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer directly in front of him! No matter what aspect Dunn-Wessex considered, it was impossible to meet such a requirement!

This is what is called, imperial politics…

After the unhappy breakup, Thrawn went to the planet Palancy and gathered the relatively intact warships in his hands and the reinforcements given to him by Dunne Wessex to form a force of 150 capital ships and 400 small and medium-sized ships. A fleet of battleships set off on February 28 to counterattack the planet Bilbulin!

…

“I said! I will lead this support army!! Thrawn, I will defeat him personally!!” Severance Tann slapped her hand hard on the table and roared loudly.

Sitting at the desk in front of her was Qi Jian, Chief of Staff of the Kingdom of Dawn.

Qi Jian’s expression is also extremely tangled now, and it can be seen that he is also extremely distressed, “His Majesty Tang Xiao once personally told you not to let you fight against Suolong… So this time, my plan is to let General Ling go to the north. Darth Vader is still a very deadly threat to us, and after some of our forces have been mobilized, only you can stop him.”

“No! This is just Tang Xiao’s encouragement and request to me! He repeatedly told me that I am not the opponent of ‘that person’ in the future! For this reason, I study combat theory every day! I must do every battle myself! I To make myself stronger! Just to surpass the shadow that Tang Xiao painted on me!” Severance Tann said loudly: “Now I know! He is in the North! ! Why don’t you let me go!”

“As for Thrawn, His Majesty Tang Xiao has other plans. We have someone else who can defeat him, but he is not ready yet. Before that, what we need is to stabilize the situation in the north, rather than just wanting to go Who to defeat?” Qi Jian said.

“Now Thrawn will undoubtedly attack the planet Bilbrin! I don’t think anyone in the Dawn Kingdom can stop his offensive!! Ling Liang? Huh, she is indeed okay, but she must also be optimistic about the Fang Duo planet. ! And she knows nothing about the North!” Severance Tann said, “This time, I can only go!”

“Don’t make things difficult for me, okay? General Tann.” Qi Jian said, rubbing his forehead.

“I want to see His Majesty Tang Xiao! He should tell me the word ‘no’.” Severance-Tann stared into Qi Jian’s eyes and said word by word.

[If you want to die so much, then die now! ! ] A vague voice suddenly came.

Qi Jian was startled by the voice and looked back, only to find that a dark shadow appeared on the other side of the office at some point. This shadow could vaguely be seen as Tang Xiao, but black flames seemed to be burning around him.

Obviously, although he didn’t know what Tang Xiao was doing, his current state was basically not human.

Seeing Tang Xiao suddenly appear, Severance-Tann quickly knelt on one knee. Qi Jian’s reaction was a step slower, but he also jumped up from the chair and knelt on one knee.

Tann whispered: “Your Majesty… No, Master! Please give me this opportunity to kill Thrawn! I have made all preparations, and I have full confidence to defeat him!”

Suddenly, an invisible force directly grabbed Tann’s neck and lifted her up!

Tang Xiao’s hideous and distorted voice came, [I have said it many times! You are not his opponent! Don’t challenge my patience. ]

“Master… Master… If I can’t even defeat Thrawn… then… what is my… value?” Severance Tann asked back with great difficulty.

With a plop, the invisible force suddenly disappeared, and Severance Tann fell to the ground. But she quickly got up and knelt on the ground again.

[You should know one thing, Tann. It is not just the direct confrontation on the battlefield that determines the outcome of a war. ]Tang Xiao’s voice suddenly calmed down.

“If I can’t get this opportunity, I would rather die! This is also the only way for me to prove the meaning of my existence…” Severance Tann was still very firm.

Tang Xiao was silent.

After a long while, he spoke again: [Go. Bring our most powerful warship and give me Thrawn’s head.] After that, the shadow gradually disappeared.

“Yes! Yes! Master! I will complete the mission!” Severance Tann almost cried with joy, her tears streaming down her face, and she knelt down to thank him.

“Alas… I will arrange it. You go back and rest first.” Qi Jian sighed and said.

After Severance Tann left, Qi Jian shook his head and sighed again, facing the empty office, as if talking to himself: “She is actually right. Now our only choice is to shoot her to the North. But I am just worried that if she fails, maybe she will really commit suicide…”

[I know.] Tang Xiao’s voice came from the void. (End of this chapter)
