The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2195 Miraculous Operation (VII)

2196: Miracle Operation (VII)

Just as the situation on the planet Kraku was becoming critical, a heated debate broke out at the highest combat command headquarters on the planet Dawn.

"Your Excellency! No matter what, you must think twice about this order!" Matt Horner advised earnestly.

Tang Xiao shook his head firmly and said, "Time is running out, and the intelligence department of the Galactic Empire has also begun to notice the movements of the Rafa system. Our actions cannot be concealed for long. We must act decisively now and send the Infinity, the third Infinity-class supercarrier in Severance Tann's hands, to Rafa V immediately, carrying the necessary equipment and directly reinforcing Shepard!"

This time even Qi Jian disagreed. He said, "Grand Duke, this is too risky! Although the Rafa Galaxy is remote, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Empire. If our super battleships directly break into the empire's jurisdiction, the Galactic Empire will almost certainly make the most extreme reaction!"

"What I need is to complete our battle plan before they react!" Tang Xiao was not moved at all. "At the same time, the Eternal super aircraft carrier stationed in Chis Territory will also set off immediately and take Ender Viking with him. He will be the military commander of this operation!"

Matt Horner was almost going crazy. He didn't care about his status and shouted, "Are you crazy? All three of our Infinity-class supercarriers are deployed in the battle! Not to mention the risks of doing so, such a large-scale military mobilization will almost certainly cause the Galactic Empire to respond!"

"And now Shepard has not come to a conclusion whether this plan is feasible. If three Infinity-class super carriers go to the planet Kraku and fail to achieve anything, then the consequences we have to bear will be too serious!" Qi Jian said.

Ling Liang said at this time: "First of all, the Infinity-class supercarrier is not the main combat force of our fleet. Our real core is still the two Titan battleships, Xuanwu and Taowu. With these two Titan battleships, we can defend the two lines of defense of the Yago-Dur galaxy and the Eriadu galaxy and ensure that the border is worry-free. At the same time, it is precisely because of the unique hyperspace engine technology of the Infinity-class supercarrier that these warships can ignore the complex hyperspace environment to a certain extent and sail long distances in unknown star fields. In other words, at least by sending out the Infinity-class supercarrier, we can still go and come back quickly."

She stared at Matt Horner with a sharp gaze and said seriously, "So, this battle plan is our best solution at the moment! Once the Galactic Empire responds, the Infinity supercarrier far away in the Mandalore sector will be blocked on the other side of the galaxy and unable to arrive. Then all these plans will become empty talk."

  Tang Xiao was too lazy to talk to them at this time. Although at present, because he absorbed the power of the Dark Archon, the negative impact of the dark side on his emotions was temporarily suppressed, so he was still reasonable and would not be so arbitrary. But this matter was not right now!

In fact, he himself knew that this was a huge gamble, and it would undoubtedly irritate the Galactic Empire and perhaps cause the war to break out prematurely. But he also knew that the issue of Mnggal-Mnggal must not be delayed, especially after the war with the Galactic Empire. If Mnggal-Mnggal suddenly started a trouble in his own backyard, the result would be fatal.

But…that’s Shepard!

This was the only reason why Tang Xiao proposed and trusted this plan. This was his intuition. He believed that Shepard could definitely deal with Mnggal-Mnggal. He believed it without any reason, just because she was Shepard!

  And Tang Xiao understood that the reason why Shepard was so persistent was also because of her inner intuition - it was neither a logical judgment nor a foreknowledge of the Force, it was intuition!

Shepard chose to trust his intuition, and Tang Xiao chose to trust Shepard.

He stood up and said in a very serious tone: "Comrades, look at yourselves. You can't come up with a better and faster solution to the problem of Mnggal-Mnggal, but you just keep telling me how serious the problem is and how terrible the consequences of failure will be... Look at yourselves, and listen to your own words. Is this decent? We are challenging the Galactic Empire, an enemy a hundred times larger than us! But now a mere Mnggal-Mnggal makes you hesitate?"

Everyone fell silent. Tang Xiao said coldly, "It's decided. Take Ander Wiggin."

The holographic projection in the center of the conference room flickered, and a young man in military uniform who looked a little shy appeared - Ender Wiggin, a genius military commander. Ever since he followed Tang Xiao's Red Comet III to Chis Territory and experienced his first battle, he has been studying at the Chis Military Academy during this period of time, and today, he has also received an almost impossible combat mission.

Destroy Mnggal-Mnggal, destroy the planet Mung-Faro!

But between these two goals, there was still a huge threat - the Rotten Star Ring! The defense line made up of tens of thousands, or even more, of shabby spaceships was also the last resort of Mnggal-Mnggal!

Even if the previous series of prerequisites are successful, in the end, it will be necessary to fight head-on with tens of thousands of warships of the Rotten Star Ring. To command this epic battle, Tang Xiao did not choose to let Severance Tann leave the Mandalore Star Region, but chose such a teenage boy.

Even if he is a genius, this decision is crazy enough!

Of course, during this period of time, Tang Xiao made too many crazy decisions, which made this matter seem less crazy.

"Your Excellency, I have read the combat report you sent me and conducted a simulated combat." Ender Wiggin seemed a little embarrassed, but his speech was still very organized. "I tried a variety of tactics, but... I couldn't break through the defense of the Rotten Star Ring."

He projected a holographic star map simulating a battle and said, "Three Infinity-class supercarriers. I chose to use Steadfast-class cruisers as the ships on board. Together with the Normandy, that means there are 29 Steadfast-class ships. The Twinblade-class electronic warfare cruisers are not very useful, because the ships of the Rotten Star Ring are directly controlled by Mnggal-Mnggal, so electronic interference is useless. I tried to use a variety of tactics such as feinting to the east and attacking in the west, luring the enemy deep into the territory, advancing steadily, or directly breaking through, but there was no way to break through the defense line."

Ling Liang asked: "What is the main reason for the failure of the simulated combat?"

"Not enough firepower." Ender-Viking answered directly, "Monggal-Monggal can directly use those warships to consume our energy, even if it means ramming them. As long as they can attract our firepower to hit them, that's enough. The simulation environment I set is at least 29 warships. Even so, three Infinity-class supercarriers and Steadfast-class cruisers cannot break through before their energy is exhausted. I need more warships."

"We don't have any more ships for you now!" Matt Horner said, "This is crazy! Crazy! We only have these three Infinity-class supercarriers! Other ships don't have that advanced hyperspace drive! Where can we get you a fourth one now?"

However, Tang Xiao said coldly: "No... there is another one..."
