Chapter 2393: The Failure of Operation Zero (Part )
2394. The Failure of Operation Zero (Part )

However, the Galactic Empire has an extremely deep foundation after all, and its current strength is still extremely powerful. Things soon took a turn for the better.

The first thing is that the planet Yago-Dur was blown up by Darth Vader.

Although it would take at least 55 years for this explosion to actually destroy the planet Yago-Dur - by that time, the grass on the graves of the Galactic Empire would probably be thirty meters high.

But it has a very important meaning, that is, the planet Yago-Dur can no longer be used as a military base.

The planet Yago-Dur was bombed and a piece of it was missing. The underground city was severely damaged. And considering the earthquakes that could happen on the planet at any time, it is too late to evacuate supplies and personnel from the planet. How is it possible to store supplies here?

Therefore, it can be predicted that in the future, a large number of transport ships will be concentrated on the planet Yago-Dur, and a large number of people will be transferred to the planet Losar through the star gate.

This would take up a lot of transportation power, and at the same time, the planet's stored materials would also be consumed in large quantities. In this way, the planet Yago-Dur would no longer be able to maintain its huge industrial system.

With less supplies and no industrial system, the planet Yago-Dur will not be able to station a main fleet for a long time and can only serve as a transit station at best.

Now the headquarters of the Kingdom of Dawn on this front will be temporarily moved back to the planet Jinyan.

The Jinyan planet is the home planet of the Grans. It has a certain industrial base and a large population. It can be used as the headquarters of the main fleet. But the problem is that if this place is used as the headquarters, it will be difficult to launch further attacks on the Galactic Empire.

Therefore, the Dawn Kingdom's Supreme General Staff began to discuss two plans: First, to occupy Bestine IV as soon as possible and then set up a forward base on Bestine IV. Second, to set up a forward base on Fangduo.

This is not to say that Fangduo is not a good planet, but because Alexia Ashford has now built her own nest on Fangduo. No one knows how the environment of Fangduo will change in the future, but Alexia once said that if the nest is built, Fangduo will not be suitable for human habitation.

However, Alexia Ashford was injured by Hydra, the Grand Inquisitor of the Imperial Inquisition, and is sleeping to repair the damage, so it is impossible to verify it directly with her.

Moreover, after the planet Yago-Dur lost its function as a military base, there was another very serious problem, that is, the range of activities of the Galactic Empire's fleet would become larger!

The current situation is probably like this:

Although Severance Tann and Darth Vader ended up exchanging homes, in fact, there is still a relatively long distance between the planets of Fondo and Yago-Dur.

At present, Darth Vader has more than 2200 battleships and 13000 small and medium-sized warships; Severance Tann's Second Task Force has more than 800 battleships and more than 4000 small and medium-sized warships; Lingliang's First Task Force has 200 battleships and 1200 small and medium-sized warships. Such a large force, especially on the side of the Galactic Empire, is difficult to deploy on a planetary battlefield. For example, when Darth Vader attacked the planet Yago-Dur, he had already suppressed Lingliang's First Task Force. If he rushed forward and pressed all the warships here, it would only be extremely stupid.

The first big problem is the capacity of the hyperspace channel. The passage of a super-large fleet will intensify the hyperspace fluctuations, making the navigation of subsequent warships extremely unstable. This will lead to the temporary interruption of the hyperspace channel.

The huge fleet concentrated in one place brought enormous logistical pressure. The most direct manifestation of the huge logistical pressure was more transport fleets and the stretched escort fleet. Not to mention that they were planning to land on the planet Yago-Dur!
Once the army begins to land, the supplies it consumes will be even greater. Heavy vehicles, ammunition, wounded soldiers, etc. The demand for these supplies will make the officers in the logistics department want to commit suicide one by one.

As a result, both the interstellar pirates and the harassment fleet sent by the Kingdom of Dawn would probably be grinning so hard that their back teeth would be exposed, and then the empire's logistics and transportation lines would be turned upside down.

Therefore, Darth Vader established forward bases in the nine star systems behind him. In addition to his Death Squadron, the other fleets were scattered in these nine star systems. In this way, on the one hand, the logistics transportation lines can be controlled and stabilized, and on the other hand, the local supply of those fleets will also reduce the pressure of transportation.

Even if the battle on the front line fails, the troops in these forward bases can come to reinforce at the first time and will not miss the opportunity.

Moreover, it goes without saying that the solution of changing one supply line into nine is more stable. There is no need to worry about the volume of transportation, nor the overload of the hyperspace channel, and even the escort problem can be solved. It is simply perfect.

Therefore, from the planet Yago-Dur to the planet Fondo, a large star area in between is actually under the control of Darth Vader.

The reason why Severance Tann was able to raid Fondo was that she actually took a different route. Darth Vader attacked Yago-Dur from Fondo, and from the perspective of the star map, he was attacking from north to south; and before that, Severance Tann was attacking the 12th Army of the Galactic Empire in the eastern part of the Milky Way. She rushed back day and night, and attacked from east to west.

On the way to attacking multiple planets, Severance-Tan also captured Bestin. The logistical supplies for the multiple planets she attacked were actually robbed on Bestin. Because Bestin is also an industrially developed planet, and most of its surface is covered by the ocean, it is rich in resources and can support Severance-Tan's fleet for a short period of time.

This is why Severance-Tann was always anxious when attacking many planets - because relying solely on looting on the planet Bestin could not sustain her fleet's operations for a long time. Even now, many riots have broken out on the planet Bestin, and Severance-Tann's control over the planet is constantly declining.

So it is clear that with the capture of the planet Fondo by Severance Tann and the explosion of the planet Yago-Dur by Darth Vader, the battle line between the two sides has now become a situation where you are in me and I am in you, which is very complicated.

Darth Vader has forward bases in nine star systems, and Severance Tann also controls the planets of Fondo and Bestin. Now they are holding each other back, unable to continue attacking each other's hinterland, nor completely ignoring the existence of the other's fleet. If the fleets are to fight a decisive battle, neither side is willing, so the situation becomes a circle of fighting.

On January 1, Severance Tann attacked Darth Vader's forward base on the planet Germanman. The Death Squadron immediately went to reinforce, and the two sides engaged in a battle on the outskirts of the planet Germanman.

The battle lasted less than half a day, with Tann losing 7 battleships and Darth Vader losing 23 battleships, before the Death Squadron retreated. The forward base on the planet Gehrman was destroyed by Severance Tann's orbital bombardment.
