The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2580: Inducement Tactics

General Grievous looked at the report Lin Nanyi brought over and said coldly, "The Mon Calamari have surrendered to the Galactic Empire... cough cough cough! You will handle their affairs. Military action is not ruled out. I have already notified the Salarians, and they will send special forces over."

Lin Nanyi nodded with some doubt, and then asked: "But what about the planet Jabimu? How should they deal with it?"

"Prepare to withdraw... cough cough cough!" General Grievous did not answer the question, but waved his hand and gave orders.

However, his answer was soon shown through action.

General Grievous immediately began to organize the current high-speed battleship formation to enter the Jabim system and gave them an ultimatum, requiring them to evacuate immediately within 5 hours, and then completely ignored any reaction from the planet Jabim. After 5 hours, he directly destroyed all the orbital buildings on the planet Jabim in a very brutal manner!
200 heavy cruisers rushed forward like a pack of wolves, firing at full power, and countless laser beams and missiles were fired crazily. All the orbital buildings on the periphery of the planet Jabim, including the interstellar docks, space ports, scientific research space stations, solar energy collection devices, etc., were destroyed without exception!
In the rolling explosion, countless orbital building fragments flew everywhere. On these debris, you can still see the logos of Dawn Kingdom companies such as Terran Heavy Industries, Solar Dynamics Energy Company, and the Fourth Group. These were all rebuilt by Dawn Kingdom companies during the honeymoon period of the relationship between Jabimu and the Dawn Kingdom during the Clone Wars.

But now, with the destruction of these orbital facilities, it also marks the complete break between the Kingdom of Dawn and the planet Jabimu.

This event not only affects the planet Jabimu, but also marks the end of the line between the Kingdom of Dawn and those planets that once joined the Confederation of Independent Systems and advocated liberalism!
From now on, the two sides are no longer fellow travelers, and the Kingdom of Dawn will not recognize itself as the successor of the Confederation of Independent Systems. The political systems and philosophies of the two are fundamentally different.

The only survivors of the disaster on Jabiim were three orbital habitation facilities, which housed about 10 civilians. However, under the orders of General Grievous, the Kingdom of Dawn's warships launched dozens of missiles with their warheads removed at the three orbital habitation facilities.

These unexploded missiles, under the effect of kinetic energy, smashed directly into the orbital living station, landing on the buildings and passages in the residential area, still emitting hot smoke, which frightened the residents in the orbital living station and almost caused a riot.

Otto Stratus, the leader of the planet Jabimu, was extremely angry. He immediately announced that he would fight the Kingdom of Dawn to the end! He also immediately contacted the rebels and expressed to the "leader" that he would fight against the Kingdom of Dawn at all costs for freedom.

However, his roar did not affect General Grievous. After destroying the orbital buildings on the planet Jabim, he led his fleet away.

Afterwards, the high-speed formation and the battleship formation merged, and the army pressed forward directly and entered the planet Bonta, which was the previous military forward base of the Galactic Empire.

However, the military facilities on the planet Boonta have now been completely emptied by Gideon Tarkin, leaving nothing behind except the tens of millions of shivering civilians on the planet.

General Grievous was not polite and ordered another attack on the planet of Bonta, destroying some of the planet's remaining orbital buildings and conducting orbital bombing on the planet's industrial zone. After that, he did not stop and returned directly.

The Eastern Fleet of the Kingdom of Dawn did not return to the planet Losar at this moment, but headed towards the industrial zone planet Kubindi.

Lin Nanyi also began to deal with the Mon Calamari. Learning from the assassination of Governor Kobor, he did not go to the Dark Planet in person, but directly sent a survey team there, and he still followed General Grievous.

Salarian special forces have been dispatched to infiltrate the planet Dak without informing the Quarren, and have begun to secretly collect evidence of possible treason by the Mon Calamari and any collusion they may have with the Galactic Empire.

Lin Nanyi also asked General Grievous why he didn't return to Losar but went to the relatively remote Kubindi planet instead? But General Grievous didn't answer him.

After the fleet returned to the planet Kubindi, Lin Nanyi was extremely surprised to find a huge thing!

This is the wreckage!

The wreckage of the battleship Destroyer!!

Now this huge wreckage is only about 6000 meters long, and has been broken into three sections, which are forcibly spliced ​​together with a large number of huge steel beams. Not only that, more than a dozen Raz-class heavy engineering ships are welding the outer armor for this battleship, which makes it look more like a battleship than a pile of scrap metal.

"This..." Lin Nanyi couldn't understand this behavior.

According to the extent of the damage to the Destroyer, it is impossible to repair it. Moreover, the Destroyer itself is a technical weapon, which means that the interior of the battleship is mainly composed of various sophisticated instruments, and it is not a kind of weapon with strong skin and sufficient mass production. This determines that once the battleship is destroyed, it is impossible to repair it.

As if seeing his confusion, General Grievous said calmly: "The program logic of the Eye of Palpatine prioritizes the destruction of the USS Destruction. Cough cough cough cough..."

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then he understood General Grievous' plan.

He planned to use the wreckage of the battleship Destroy as bait, and then directly fish out the big fish, the Eye of Palpatine!

The reason for choosing the planet Kubindi is, first, because it is closer to the planet Malagar where the Destroyer crashed, second, because there are enough industrial facilities here to repair the wreckage of the Destroyer, and third, there is also enough defensive power here!
It is definitely better to proactively choose the planet Kubindi as the battlefield than to send a large army on an expedition to the planet Targon and then risk being robbed again by the Galactic Empire fleet in a decisive battle with the super battleship Palpatine's Eye.

Moreover, because the industrial zone on Kubindi was built in secret, the Galactic Empire Intelligence Department had no idea of ​​the current situation on the planet. At this time, as long as the intelligence blockade was done well, it would be difficult for Gideon Tarkin to find out whether the Eye of Palpatine heading towards Kubindi was just wandering aimlessly like it had done before.

After all, in the intelligence database of the Galactic Empire, Kubindi is just a primitive planet with no strategic value. (End of this chapter)
