Chapter 656: Second Battle of Bespin
22BBY, August 10th.
The Main Fleet of the 19th Army of the Galactic Republic set off from the Defense Line of Kinyen and Javin respectively, and arrived at Gerrenthum near Bespin in the Javin Sector.
After receiving the information, the Fourth Civilization responded immediately. At the age of 71, the Commander-In-Chief of the Navy, Igor Zavalov, set off in person, leading 5 Kol-class Battlecruisers and 5 Marza-class Heavy Cruisers from Dawn to depart, entered the Hyperspace Lane through Annaj, and arrived at Bespin at noon on the same day to organize Defense.
Igor Zavalov was also one of the Veterans who had been awakened from the very beginning and followed Tang Xiao. He was originally an Elite Talent, with the characteristic big beard of the northern race, and he was 58 years old when he was just awakened.
Originally, Tang Xiao only liked his experience and stability and planned to wake up Master-Level or even Legendary-Level Talents to replace him after a transition. One of the biggest contributors to the Fourth Civilization's Navy from the first few Blade Starfighters to the huge scale that now has Hundreds of Warships.
The only time Igor Zavalov went to the battlefield personally was the battle of Malastare 12 years ago, and that battle also showed his excellent Command Art. In recent years, he originally planned to retire, but the outbreak of War made him postpone his retirement plan, and he planned to wait until Tang Xiao confirmed the successor to the Commander-In-Chief of the Navy.
Now, he went from behind the scenes to the front stage again, personally commanding the Largest Fleet Battle since the founding of the Fourth Civilization!
At 7:00 p.m. on August 10th, Galactic Standard Time, 80 Venator-class Star Destroyers escorted by 20 Arquitens-class Light Cruisers, left the Space Port of Gerrenthum, and all entered the Hyperspace Lane after synchronization.
At 7:30 p.m., following an unusually intense flash of White Light, the massive Galactic Republic Fleet left Hyperspace and entered the Bespin System.
The Second Battle of Bespin broke out!
...
Admiral McGlenn stood on the Bridge of his new Flagship, the Longbow, a Venator-class Star Destroyer, looking coldly at the Gas Giant ahead.
Although from this distance, nothing can be seen except the Huge Gaseous Planet, under the Powerful Sensors of the Venator-class Star Destroyer, the deployment in the entire Bespin System can be seen in a panoramic view.
More than a Dozen Floating Cities are floating in the Bespin Life Zone, and near the largest Floating City - Cloud City, a Fleet with 10 Battleships as the core and more than 50 Small Battleships as the Supplementary Fleet is very carefully lined up around.
No, there should be more!
Admiral McGlenn's eyes became extremely sharp. After the defeat in the last Bespin battle, he didn't gain anything. But at least, he knew the tricks of Dawn.
After earnestly summarizing his previous failures, Admiral McGlenn attributed the failure to his unfamiliarity with various Weapons and Equipment on Dawn. It was precisely because he didn't understand the fighting style of Dawn that he was defeated in front of their endless Unique Equipment.
Just like now, he understands that there must be a Large Number of Gauss Defense Platforms and Hangar Defense Platforms in Stealth around Bespin, and among those Hangar Defense Platforms, there must be a large number of Wraith Starfighters on standby!
Dawn has very Advanced Stealth Technology, which is well known in the Galactic Republic Army, and the Republic's Military Science Research Department is also intensively developing Radars that can counter Stealth Technology.
In fact, with their current Level of Technology, it is not difficult to find Invisible Targets. What is difficult is to make this Technology Miniaturized and Flexible. If this cannot be resolved, and the Starfighters of the Republic can directly detect the opponent's Stealth Starfighters, then they will always be disadvantaged in Air Combat.
After all, Dawn's Cloaking Technology won't stand still forever.
Admiral McGlenn's fingers lightly slid across the Holographic Star Map. The other party didn't have many Large Warships, so he didn't have to face the troublesome Kol-class Battlecruiser and the powerful Kinetic-Based Weapons, which still made him very happy.
Only...
McGlenn asked: "Didn't the Intelligence say that the other party built a Large Armed Space Station on Bespin?"
The Staff Officer on the side shook his head and said: "We are comparing with the Intelligence Department, but we really haven't found that Armed Space Station in the current detection."
Admiral McGlenn was not in a hurry to issue an attack order. He carefully looked at the Holographic Star Map, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he asked loudly, "How many Floating Cities are there on Bespin?"
"Well, according to the Data before the War, there are 17. The largest of them is Cloud City, and some of the others are Energy Floating Cities, some are Industrial Floating Cities, and some are Agricultural Floating Cities..." the Staff Officer said.
Admiral McGlenn pointed to the signal of one of the Floating Cities on the Holographic Star Map, and said solemnly: "No, this is their Armed Space Station."
"Isn't this... one of the Floating Cities?" The staff officer frowned.
"I know the locations of the 17 Floating Cities on Bespin like the back of my hand..." Admiral McGlenn said seriously: "The locations of the other Floating Cities have not changed much, only this one! The Factory Floating City - Shefa!"
"Shefa City?"
"The location of Shefa City has now moved to the front of Cloud City, and it has broken away from Bespin's Life Zone, hiding in the turbid atmosphere of Bespin, preventing our Spies from entering, so there is very little information. Moreover, according to the detection, the Energy Level of Shefa City has increased by more than 3 times compared to normal conditions!" McGlenn said.
"You mean, the Separatists transformed the entire Floating City of Shefa into an Armed Space Station? No... If that's the case, this is no longer a Space Station, it's a Fortress City!" The Staff Officer turned pale with shock.
"I have a little understanding of Dawn's plan. If it is a Fortress City, there is indeed a chance to block our offensive." McGlenn said solemnly, "But I came prepared! 80 Venator-class Star Destroyers! This power will be enough to tear apart all along with this Fortress City!"
He slammed his fist on the Console and said loudly: "All Warships attack! Get closer and start a Decisive Battle!"
...
At the same time, inside Cloud City.
A Team of Fully Armed Salarian Agents escorted more than a Dozen People and dragged them into a park square, only to see that there were already Hundreds of People standing there in panic, watched by Several Thor Siege Walkers. The atmosphere made them dare not breathe.
The leading Salarian Captain said to the Army Officer of the Fourth Civilization who was wearing the Liberator Heavy Combat Armor: "After the operation, all those who want to report to the Republic will not be left. I can guarantee that the Galactic Republic will treat Bespin as knowing nothing.."
The Army Officer of the Fourth Civilization nodded and said in admiration: "As expected of a Salarian Agent, I heard your rumors a long time ago, and now it seems that you are really powerful."
"Don't waste time on these polite words." The Salarian waved his hand, turned and left.
The Army Officer looked at the densely packed buildings in Cloud City, only to see that on top of those buildings, almost every Spaceport was filled with a Large Number of Small Warships, Hundreds of Them! And it's all...
Javelis LRM-class Missile Frigates!
He smiled coldly and said, "That's right, it's not too late."
"You have no right to do this! We are the Nobles of Bespin!" shouted one of the Well-Dressed Men in the crowd.
As soon as he started, the others also called out. These people include Men and Women, the Elderly, Children, Nobles and Vagabonds, everything.
But the Army Officer was unmoved, he waved his hand lightly, and the Guns on the arms of Several Thor Siege Walkers sprayed out scorching flames!
There was no trial, no torture, and even the most Basic Identification was not bothered.
In this extraordinary period, as long as you send a message to the Republic in violation of the regulations, there is only one way...
Death!
Da da da da! Da da da da!! The Rapid-Fire Gun is so powerful that after the Shell hits a person, that person can't even find a piece of flesh!
Those people screamed loudly and ran away, but the Salarian Agents around also raised their Guns and pulled the Triggers!
Da da da da! Da da da da da da!
