The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1728. Dawn Agreement (Part 2)

Under the plan of the Governor of Volgograd-Kanidi, the planet Annaji took the initiative to close the planetary shield, attracting the Republic Expeditionary Force to launch a landing operation.

This strategy divided the strength of the Republic fleet very well, and made them focus on one thing and the other, and failed to concentrate all their forces on the frontal decisive battle with the Dawn Principality fleet.

But the price is that the planet Annaji has withstood most of the firepower from the Galactic Republic!

Learning from previous lessons, the Galactic Republic Expeditionary Force first conducted a tragic orbital bombardment of the planet Annaji before landing. Even though Cassio Tagg, the commander-in-chief of the Republic Expeditionary Force, did not conduct a devastating orbital bombing aimed at destroying the planet in order to use the planet Annaji as an advance base, he still caused serious damage to the planet.

Of course, there is one thing to say. With the firepower of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, it is really difficult for them to destroy the surface of the planet. But there are too many warships that cannot hold up to the Republic Expeditionary Force! More than 200 Jaeger-class ships carried out concentrated bombing. Not to mention burning glass, it was still possible to bomb the planet Annaji into a desert.

However, Casio Tag still carried out targeted bombing of military facilities on the planet Annaji, and also bombed some major cities to cover the landing of troops.

And after launching the landing operation, the Republic fleet also actively carried out apex orbital bombing of all detected organized Annaji planet defender assembly points. A large number of Republic fighter jets also carried out overwhelming precision bombing and fire suppression, all of which caused serious damage to the planet.

In order to resist the almost unstoppable advance of the Galactic Republic with its absolute air superiority and space superiority, Volgograd-Kanidi can be said to have done everything possible, even using T-virus biological weapons on a large scale. After the biological weapons were put into battle, they inevitably had an impact on local civilians. In order to destroy these biological weapons, Casio Tag also ordered a large-scale orbital bombing of the city.

It is true that this orbital bombing operation gave the Dawn Principality's fleet a chance to breathe again, but the injured planet was still the planet Annaji.

Then in the subsequent battles, the Galactic Republic mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and launched an all-out attack under the cover of tens of thousands of fighter jets and bombers. This tragic battle escalated again.

In the series of battles on Annaji's planet, even if evacuations and refuges were carried out, a total of more than 45 million civilian casualties were still caused! More than 70% of the planet's capital area was destroyed, and 14 other cities were destroyed!

More than 700,000 Planet Guard troops were killed and more than 1.1 million injured. Almost all armored units were wiped out, the air force was wiped out, and most of the airports and spaceports were destroyed!

This precious planet, which can be classified as Gaia's planet, was reduced to scorched earth in this battle, and it will still take a lot of resources and time to rebuild.

In the air battle that took place on the Dawn Planet after that, although 96 elite warships brought by Casio Tagg were completely wiped out, there were still great losses due to the opponent's stubborn resistance.

In the air battle on the Dawn Planet, Tang Xiao invested more than 4,000 small and medium-sized warships, including Blood Dawn, White Worm, Oruba the Hutt, Ni Yongxiao Gang, Scourge Legion, escort fleet, etc. It can be said that all the things that can fly in the Principality of Dawn have been brought out by searching the intestines and scraping the belly!

In the end, more than 800 warships of various types were lost! This is because the mothership Glory once again went into battle and ran to the front to act as a human shield!

Among them, Bloody Dawn and White Worm paddled almost all the way, and their losses were not large, about 60 battleships. The Rift-class frigate formation that Tang Xiao helped to build with Oruba the Hutt lost more than half. The loss of more than 180 ships was devastating. Of course, these Rift-class frigates also effectively suppressed the Republic's fighter fleet, giving them Favorable conditions were created for the ensuing battle.

The most serious loss was undoubtedly the escort fleet of the Principality of Dawn, with a total loss of more than 300 warships.

There are hundreds of escort fleets in the Principality of Dawn. These escort fleets maintain the connection between the vast resource producing areas and colonies of the Principality of Dawn. More than 300 escort warships have now been lost, which means that a considerable number of transportation routes will be affected.

Don't think that those interstellar pirates will stop because the Principality of Dawn defeated the Galactic Republic!

Therefore, in the air battle that broke out on the Dawn Planet, although the Dawn Principality completely wiped out Casio Tag's fleet, the impact on itself was very profound.

The transportation routes are affected, and the flow of resources is bound to decrease. Moreover, allies such as Bloody Dawn, White Worm, and Oruba the Hutt have sent fleets over. Tang Xiao needs to repay the favor he owes!

Therefore, amid this series of heavy losses, the Principality of Dawn really cannot afford to fight!

And the most important thing is public opinion!

Although the Fourth Civilization was encouraged by Tang Xiao from the beginning and embarked on the path of war, it can be said that such an emerging force has provoked the most powerful enemy in the galaxy just after it was born. This situation makes everyone Difficult to accept.

The negative impact of hostility to the Galactic Republic is all-round, whether it is trade, people's livelihood, or communication between residents. It can be said that every aspect is subject to sanctions and restrictions by the Galactic Republic.

For the Principality of Dawn, because almost all its power is invested in scientific research and military industry, many civilian products are actually in line with the Galactic Republic. The simplest example is hyperspace communicators, holographic projection equipment, etc., all of which are imported from the Galactic Republic.

Although the Principality of Dawn has a cooperative relationship with the Trade Federation, it is still able to obtain these export products even though it is at war with the Galactic Republic. From another perspective, the Galactic Republic will not give up the opportunity to make money from the Principality of Dawn through civilian industries - after all, they make their own money, and the finances of the Principality of Dawn will also increase more support, so why not?

Therefore, the war started immediately after establishing a foothold, and everything in society was in the service of war. As a result, after more than two years of war, the public opinion of the Dawn Principality has reached its limit.

After all, the Principality of Dawn is still not ready for a full-scale war!

So under such circumstances, a peace agreement with the Galactic Republic is imperative!

It was Tang Xiao who took the initiative to seek contact with the Speaker of the Republic, Sheev Palpatine. One day after the Yago-Dur battle, Tang Xiao contacted Palpatine and conveyed his intention to make peace.

As a result, Palpatine, who was also very anxious, actually agreed!

So this became a spectacle: two Sith Lords sitting together and actually discussing peace? !
