The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2341: Operation Zero's Plan

2342: The Plan for Operation Zero
Dawn Planet, Royal Palace.

Tang Xiao was still sitting in his office processing documents as usual. His clothes and office layout were not much different from before. It was just that all the furniture in the office was inlaid with gold edges, and above his seat, a crown was suspended by an anti-gravity device.

There was not much change in the clothes Tang Xiao was wearing, except for the addition of a ribbon.

When he ascended the throne, he said that the etiquette should be kept simple, and he really did so. He did not promote the kneeling ceremony in the country. When his subordinates met him, they still performed the military salute, and others bowed. At the same time, he did not call himself "Gu" or "Gua Ren". He felt that these ancient etiquettes were unnecessary and would make his civilization regress.

At this moment, Tang Xiao is checking the progress of the current Operation Plan Zero and any inconsistencies with the original plan.

The essence of Operation Zero is to conduct large-scale maneuvers through the Star Gate, constantly mobilizing the Galactic Empire's fleet, making the Imperial Fleet exhausted and eventually divided and annihilated.

After multiple battles have reduced the size of the Imperial fleet, the Kingdom of Dawn's fleet will attack a high-value target to draw the Imperial fleet's attention, and then take the opportunity to raid Coruscant in one fell swoop.

The whole plan has three combat objectives. The first is to annihilate the Imperial Mobile Fleet in large numbers. The second is to induce the Empire to transfer the garrison of Coruscant. The third goal is to use the Tianshu Channel to raid Coruscant. Tang Xiao will gather all the forces of the Dusk Covenant and personally fight to kill Palpatine!

And the target that is far enough away from Coruscant and has enough strategic value to attract the attention of the Imperial Fleet is the planet Fondo!
That's right! Although Severance Tann is clamoring to capture Fangduo Planet every day, and Tang Xiao has also publicly stated that when Fangduo Planet is captured, General Tann will become Marshal Tann, but for this industrial center of the Galactic Empire, the Kingdom of Dawn does not intend to attack it so early.

The Death Star cannons were continuously bombarding Fangduo, reducing Fangduo's planetary shield, and the hyperspace fluctuations of the fleet on Yago-Dur were constantly detected by the Galactic Empire. All these actions made the Empire believe that the Principality of Dawn would attack Fangduo.

However, Severance Tann has now led the main fleet to sweep across the outer ring star region and has begun to gradually attack the middle ring star region.

The scope of her detour was extremely large, because the Dawn Kingdom now controlled the southwest and south of the Milky Way, not only the outer ring, but also the middle ring star region in this direction. The Fondo planet controlled by the Galactic Empire was already in the core circle, while the Chardan planet was in the inner circle.

Therefore, Severance Tann now set out for the Central Ring Star Region in the eastern part of the Milky Way. She crossed the Hutt Space and began to move towards the control area of ​​the 12th Army of the Galactic Empire. At the same time, she ordered Lieutenant General Towns and "General C" in the direction of Christophsis to attack the 13th Army of the Empire. The robot commander known as the "Barab Butcher", General Grievous, was also attacking the planet Minban at this moment. This planet was not very important, and it was also located in the territory of the 13th Army. But for General Grievous, as long as Minban was captured, he would have a forward base for attacking Kashyyyk, and once Kashyyyk was occupied, he would be able to directly attack the capital of the 12th Army, Lantillies.

Once the 12th and 13th armies of the Empire are defeated by Severance Tann, the th Army, one of the most powerful and core legions of the Galactic Empire, will be completely exposed to the military force of the Kingdom of Dawn!
As long as such a situation is formed, the Galactic Empire will be forced to take the initiative to attack. Because the Galactic Empire can accept losing the outer ring, the middle ring, and even the inner ring being attacked... But all this has a premise!

That's the time!!

The Galactic Empire must drive out the invaders in a short period of time, or prove that it has the ability to do so, rather than just losing these territories. This is absolutely impossible!
Because what is the essence of the Galactic Empire? It is an empire controlled by aristocratic families and nobles. The aristocracy controls more than 95% of the resources of the Galactic Empire. The Galactic Empire is not a feudal country, but a capitalist country. Therefore, the manifestation of the aristocracy is not how much territory they have, but how much capital they control, and this capital is operated in the form of companies.

So, what is the most important thing in a capitalist country?
Capital! Market!
Those countless huge companies have sufficient productivity, but they also need to convert productivity into capital, and to complete this conversion, they need the market!
The central and outer ring star areas are this market!

Once they lose the market, their capital will become stagnant and an economic crisis will break out. When their capital cannot expand outward, they can only expand inward and eat themselves up.

And they will definitely not sit idly by and watch this result. These nobles will only force the imperial fleet to take back their own market and get their capital back into operation.

Why did the Galactic Republic lose the support of the nobles and thus completely fall apart? Why was Palpatine able to gain the support of those nobles and wealthy families?
The reason lies in whether they can maintain this market. As long as Palpatine wants to maintain his empire, he must take the initiative to attack. If the fleet is insufficient, he will also mobilize the defense fleet of Coruscant. Because for the nobles who are extremely eager for the market, capital is more important than safety!
Therefore, at this time, Severance Tann will use the mobility of the star gate to divide and annihilate those imperial fleets that take the initiative to attack!

Then, when the imperial fleet suffered heavy losses, they used the star gate to suddenly attack the planet Fangduo.

At this time, the Galactic Empire military will form a mindset that the Kingdom of Dawn uses the mobility of the stargate mainly to quickly maneuver within the area they control. Coupled with the other party's bombing and planning of many planets, the Galactic Empire will deeply believe that Severance Tann's target at this time is Fangduo!
However, her real purpose at this time was to use the traditional hyperspace channel instead of the star gate after reuniting with Tang Xiao, and go straight to Coruscant from the Tianshu channel to complete the decapitation!
This is Operation Plan Zero!

However, there are still some problems with the current implementation. The first problem that emerged is... there is only one Death Star cannon.
