The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2411 The First Move

2412: First Move

From Dawn to Mygeeto, it is almost across the entire Milky Way, from the southwest corner directly to the northwest corner. In three-dimensional terms, the straight-line distance between the two planets is about 100,000 light years, and it needs to pass through the center of the Milky Way.

You have to know that for the same journey, the fleet of the Galactic Empire must go around a big circle, avoiding the super black hole at the center of the Milky Way and the star clusters composed of billions of stars. In the process, it will take at least 20 hyperspace routes and make nearly 50 jumps.

The entire journey took almost 30 days! After completing the journey, the fleet had to rest immediately because the journey put a heavy burden on the hyperspace engine and consumed a lot of core elements.

Comparing the data with Star Gate, we can only say that such terrifying technology has frightened countless people!

Even an ambitious man like Allman Tag chose to play dead in the field of Stargate technology. He pretended that he couldn't see, pretended that he was busy, and pretended that the Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer and Galaxy Gun projects had taken up all his energy. In short, as long as we don't talk about Stargate, everything is fine. If we talk about Stargate... Sorry, I'm busy, please go back.

Because he had no idea what to do with Stargate technology. With his self-proclaimed genius, he couldn't even imagine the theory behind Stargate technology!

……

At this time, facing the pressure of the famous general Severance Tann and the Avatar-class Titan battleship, Admiral Thrawn of the Galactic Empire chose not to give in.

Thrawn continued to have his fleet surround the planet of Bilbrin, transporting a large number of troops to the planet, launching a landing operation, and preparing to completely occupy the planet.

In addition, Thrawn once again made a request to Dunn-Wessex: [Immediately send the Leela Executor-class Super Star Destroyer to participate in the battle, otherwise, no warship in the northern territories of the Empire will be able to withstand the power of the Titan battleship. If Governor Dunn is worried that the Leela will be abused, then please ask the Governor to personally lead the Super Star Destroyer to the battlefield and supervise the battle in person! ]

Under pressure, Dunn-Wessex had to agree to send the Executor-class Star Destroyer Leela to the front line of the planet Bilbrin, and not only that, he also brought a large number of reinforcements.

This brought Thrawn's military strength on the planet Bilbrin to 300 capital ships and more than 800 small and medium-sized warships.

But such a force is obviously no match for the Northern Fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn, so Admiral Thrawn chose to block it in the outer airspace of the Bilbrin system.

He carefully studied every hyperspace channel on the planet Bilbrin, calculated the traffic volume and specific directions of these channels, and then deployed a large number of air mines in hundreds of areas, interspersed with a large number of hyperspace blockers among the air mines.

While Dunn-Wessex handed over the Leela Super Star Destroyer to Thrawn, he also dispatched four unique warships - the Interdictor-class Star Destroyers.

This is a Star Destroyer modified on the basis of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. After removing half of the firepower configuration and two-thirds of the hangar, eight sets of gravity well projectors were installed on the battleship, making the battleship look like it has eight more hemispherical bulges on its surface.

On the battlefield, as long as the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer fully deploys its gravity well projectors, it can block hyperspace jumps in an entire star field, thereby preventing the enemy fleet from maneuvering and forcing it to compete with its own fleet in firepower.

Admiral Thrawn did not use these four Interdictor-class Star Destroyers to operate with the main fleet, and then let them prevent the Dawn Kingdom fleet from escaping during the battle.

Are you kidding? He only has half the force of Severance Tann's Northern Fleet, not to mention the difference in performance between the two warships. If a fight really breaks out, he will probably be the one ready to run away!

However, Thrawn deployed three of the four Interdictor-class Star Destroyers in three locations after his precise calculations. Deploying gravity well projectors here would increase the difficulty for Severance Tann's fleet to reach the planet of Bilbrin. The last Interdictor-class Star Destroyer was deployed near the planet of Bilbrin, ready to block the transport ships of the Kingdom of Dawn from sneaking over to deliver supplies or preparing to escape from the planet.

Although the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer can only maintain gravity well projection for one day after a full charge, it is enough.

In this famous duel between Severance Tann and Thrawn, Thrawn was the first to place his first chess piece.

This chess piece is called - avoid battle. Under the current conditions, he has no intention of engaging in a fleet decisive battle with Severance Tann.

……

After arriving at the planet Mygeeto, Severance Tann took a short rest and then checked the military strength in the North.

After the two defeats at the Battle of Arkania and the Second Battle of Bilbrin, the Kingdom of Dawn's military strength in the North is now stretched to the limit.

In addition to the troops used to defend major planets such as Mygeeto, Mulinster, and Od-Mantell, the fleet that is still gathered on the planet Dolin and looking at the planet Bilbrin from afar is their last mobile fleet.

This fleet includes 2000 Geth warships, 15 battleships, 70 heavy cruisers, and 1100 small and medium-sized warships.

Not only that, the morale of officers and soldiers at all levels was low and they were generally pessimistic about the development of the war situation.

Although strictly speaking, both sides suffered a huge defeat in the North plus a small-scale defeat, which was equivalent to a 2-2 draw.

But you have to know that although it is a draw, the morale of the two sides is absolutely different between the one who was leading 2-0 and then tied, and the one who was trailing 0-2 and then tied!

After examining the current situation, Severance Tann made an assessment of the current battle situation.

First of all, the Dawn Kingdom formed the Northern Fleet by drawing troops from the southern border, which was equivalent to robbing Peter to pay Paul. In other words, for a long time to come, the Dawn Kingdom would not be able to receive more reinforcements. Now the Northern Fleet can only rely on the newly built warships of those super companies.

The Geth also needs to digest and learn the technology of the Gallente Federation before they can start building a new generation of Gallente warships. Before that, their fleet can only be used for harassment.

On the other hand, although the Empire currently lacks troops in the north, it is foreseeable that more warships will be deployed in the future. Their industrial capacity far exceeds that of the Kingdom of Dawn, so they will receive more and more reinforcements.

But there is also an advantage - that is, with the fall of Fangduo planet, the industrial production capacity of the Galactic Empire will drop significantly in the next three months, and will gradually recover afterwards.

Therefore, it seems that the best option for Severance Tann is to attack quickly and decide the outcome as soon as possible!

But is it really so?
