Chapter 2530 Gideon Tarkin's Military Strategy

2531, Gideon Tarkin's military strategy

The former Imperial Admiral Adar Talon was suspected of dereliction of duty, incompetence, disobeying orders, and failing to follow the Imperial Navy's combat principles, causing the planet to suffer significant losses. After the decision of the Supreme Strategic Command of the Empire, all Atal Talon's military positions were revoked and transferred to the Supreme Military Court for trial.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to intervene in this incident and wanted to deal with this case as a typical example of corruption and dereliction of duty by military personnel. However, the senior military leaders led by Wilhive Tarkin directly pushed back the pressure from the court, because if the court handled this matter, the military would inevitably suffer from the face and would give these dark divine people the opportunity to invade the military forces.

Of course, Wilker Tarkin's actions were just thinking from the perspective of the military. They did not think about eliminating Adal Taron. He had to take the blame for the disaster in the Battle of the Bontha Planet.

Subsequently, the Imperial Admiral Gideon Tarkin was the commander-in-chief, and the Imperial Admiral Galosh Tarkin was the general staff officer. Such a very strange combination was sent out.

They secretly gathered 100 Imperial-class star destroyers, 50 Imperial-class star destroyers, 5 Trailer-class aircraft carriers, 5 Defender-class star destroyers, 70 Defender-class heavy cruisers, 200 Night Watchmen-class frigates, 100 Aquitance-class light cruisers, and 100 Carac-class light cruisers. In addition, there are 400 small warships of various types.

Such a huge fleet was dispatched to support the 12th Army of the Empire.

However, in this fleet, there was no sign of Palpatine's Eye. This dreadnought, controlled by the intelligent AI "will", did not follow the main fleet, but went to the assembly point from a secret channel.

Seven days later, the fleet arrived at the planet Lantiris, the capital of the 12th Army. The Governor of the 12th Army, Thurben, personally went to the spaceport to greet him.

Governor Seben looked at the two leaders of the Takin family standing in front of him and felt a little moved. The 43-year-old Gideon Takin and 19-year-old Garosh Takin were two years younger than him. However, the current situation was that he, the senior governor of the Legion, had to bow his head in front of these two young men.

As a veteran who has personally experienced the Stark hyperspace war, he climbed all the way to one of the twenty legions governors. Governor Seben was both the hard-working and the sophisticated and politicians. He knew very well why these two people led such a huge fleet. Similarly, he naturally knew very well that his star-regional governor was basically over.

Even if General Griffus was making a big fuss on the planet Bonta, he was not able to threaten the true core of the 12th Army. The 15 Typhoon-class battlecruisers were just annoying, and the only one that really had a devastating threat was the battleship Destruction. Moreover, after the previous battle, the main fleet of the 12th Army was not hurt, and still had the ability to protect the core defense zone.

However, the Imperial military asked the Takin family to bring 160 main battleships, 70 heavy cruisers, and 800 small and medium-sized warships, and all of them are the latest warships. This is not necessary. Then this shows that what Gideon Takin wants is not General Griffles' head, but the 12th Army of the Empire!

"Governor General, given the wrong command of the former commander Adal Talon, the border in the jurisdiction of the 12th Army was broken by separatist breakthrough. General Garosh and I specially led our troops to rescue. Please support me." Gideon Takin saluted Seben meticulously.

It is true that he is a pure soldier, but in the face of the important interests of such a family, he naturally understood what to do. The words were all about coming to provoke a military force and asking for guilt.

Seben sighed and said, "I understand that all the fleets of the 12th Army are left to you to command, and I will sit in the rear and provide you with all the support."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Governor." Gideon Takin saluted again.

Governor Seburen looked at the young man in the uniform of a white Imperial Admiral standing next to Gideon Tarkin. He was only 19 years old. Although he was burly and muscular and had a squint, he still had a childish attitude between his eyebrows.

Garoshi Takin, the Galaxy Empire,... No, it should be said that the youngest admiral in the history of the Galaxy Republic.

Seben sighed again and took the two admirals to his office to start preparing for the handover.

...

9BBY, on February 20, the Imperial Fleet divided into five routes and arrived at the Bonta Galaxy from five hyperspace channels. The spaceport has begun to be rebuilt here. Since many parts are built in modular form, three spaceports have been completed, barely providing docking of 60 main battleships.

With the power of the original 12th War Fleet, Gideon Takin now has 400 main battleships, 70 heavy cruisers, 1,800 small and medium-sized warships such as light cruisers! Including the Palpatine Eye that has not appeared, the power in Gideon Takin's hands is equivalent to the size of an empire's main fleet!

Of this size, there are only two other places in the entire Galaxy Empire - Dunn Wessex's North Fleet, and Darth Vader's main mobile fleet organized with the Death Squadron as the core.

His current military strength is ten times that of General Griffles!

Admiral Gideon Tarkin is currently standing on the bridge of the Annihilator Empire Class II Star Destroyer. The Imperial Class II Star Destroyer adopts a large number of modular designs and can replace modules to achieve different combat missions. The Annihilator is equipped with a command system, with super-powered hyperspace probes and communication equipment, which can command the fleet operations of the entire galaxy in real time.

At this time, after the notification, Garoshi Takin came to his command center.

Gideon Tarkin looked at the nephew who was taller than him and a circle larger in size, and nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you have not slacked off in the Military Academy, it is very good."

Many children of noble families are ashamed to perform physical exercises. They prefer to use technological means to adjust their body shape and strengthen their muscles. This is not tired, and the effect is good. It is obvious that Galos Tarkin's muscles and tall figure are all developed by himself, which shows his good self-discipline.

"This is the basis of being a soldier, General." Garoshi Takin did not call him uncle, but directly called him military post.

This made Gideon Tarkin more satisfied. He asked with a smile: "How about it, what do you think about this battle?"

"Our military strength is ten times that of separatism, but they have technical weapons that make us very unfamiliar, and we must not be taken lightly. General Adal Talon's mistake should not be made a second time. So I think we should defend the border firmly and ensure that Griffles can take advantage of it, and then move forward slowly. If he continues to circle with us, we will directly march into the core of the Hut space - Nashada!" said Garosh Takin.

Gideon Takin smiled and said, "You are right and wrong. In fact, Adal Taron's strategy is not wrong."

"Why?" Garoshi asked with a frown.

"He has seen Griffus' biggest hidden danger - logistics, and has also formulated the best strategy to deal with Griffus - compress space and disrupt the rear." Gideon Tarkin said, "But his problem is that he does not have this political resource to realize his strategy. Do you firmly defend the border? The star destroyer captains have been hitting his report that he does not take the initiative to attack, and let them use their flesh and blood to resist separatist shield-penetrating missiles. Do you take the initiative to attack? He has no intelligence at all, and he doesn't even know where to fight. Does he disrupt the rear? Does he have this resource and time? No. So... he is doomed to fail. Even if he firmly defends the border, he will be dismissed by the Imperial Army on the charge of being afraid of fighting... but he chose a more radical approach."

"I don't like this." Galosh said.

"I don't like it either. But since we have such political power in our hands, we must give it the best effect. Your father is right. Our Takin family's future foundation needs the 12th Army." Gideon said, "Look at Dunn Wessex. The Wessex family can guarantee that they will flourish in the North and will flourish for thousands of years! Why? Because the entire North is theirs."

However, Garoshi shook his head and asked, "Do you think the Galaxy Empire can exist for thousands of years? In my opinion, it will not take ten years."

"I don't deny the possibility of this kind of possibility, Garoshi." Gideon walked over and held Garoshi's shoulder with both hands, and said earnestly: "If that is the case, then we need the territory of the 12th Army even more. For your father, mother, for your future wife, son, and even grandson... This battle is not for the Galaxy Empire, but for our Takin family."

Garoshi Takin nodded.

"Next, you can follow me. I will teach you every idea of ​​command and deployment. This is a rare practical opportunity, seize it!" said Gideon Tarkin.

Garoshi Takin nodded again. However, behind Gideon's unseen, his fists kept clenching and loosening, and his teeth were silently clenched. It was obvious that his heart was experiencing a storm.

Gideon Tarkin just thought that he was experiencing a war of this size for the first time and was a little nervous, so he didn't care too much.

...

In the following time, Gideon Tarkin was not complacent because of his absolute superior force. On the contrary, he was very cautious in his actions.

He first increased his efforts to rebuild the infrastructure of the Bonata planet, and set up four forward bases on the orbit of another unmanned planet outside the Bonata planet, with 40 main battleships stationed, expanding the defense line of the entire planet by a large circle.

Then, a hyperspace outpost was added outside the border to ensure that the movement of the Destruction could be fully predicted and the headquarters location of General Griffles' fleet could be found as much as possible.

In addition, Gideon Takin also formed a main fleet, including a huge force of 100 main battleships and 500 light cruisers. This main fleet kept maneuvering and patrolling the periphery of the Bontha planet, and cooperated with the dispatch of countless reconnaissance aircraft and drones to conduct continuous reconnaissance on Hutt space.

In addition to this series of deployments, there is also the biggest killer weapon - Eye of Palpatine!

This super dreadnought has been silently cruising in the deep space of the universe. No one except Gideon Tarkin knew where it was. Moreover, the unique shape and structure of Palpatine's Eye made it difficult to be noticed by the hyperspace detection equipment of the Dawn Kingdom. Even if the fluctuations of its hyperspace jumps are discovered, there is a high probability that it will be ignored as the actions of other main fleets in Gideon's hands.

Once General Griffus's fleet appears, if you are not careful, you will be entangled by the main ships, thus giving Gideon Takin a chance to reinforce the main fleet. Not only that, the sneak attack of Palpatine's Eye is the real fatal factor!

This is not the end. Gideon Tarkin also contacted the Parker who was active on the planet Falusia. With his powerful power, he easily surrendered the profit-oriented frivolous Parker and monitored the Hutt space through the Parker.

The biggest business of the Parker is to smuggle spices. They can be said to be among the top three among the major smuggling spice gangs in the Milky Way. The underground smuggling empire second only to the Huts, and the spice smuggling network established by Ni Yongxiao in the Kingdom of Dawn... The former has accumulated tens of thousands of years, while the latter has mastered several major spice production places.

However, being comparable to these two behemoths is enough to show the strength of the Parker in spice smuggling. They can almost be said to be omnipotent. You can always see Parker in smuggling activities in every dark corner of the Milky Way.

The Parkers began to send their own spies and were in Hutt's space to inquire about the location of General Griffles' base. The Hutt regime, which was leaking everywhere, had no way to deal with them.

Next, it is the planet Dak! Monkaramali people!

Gideon Takin sent a secret envoy to contact the Monkaramali people. Under his instructions, the secret envoy of the Empire did not go with the arrogance and prejudice of human supremacy, but went with full sincerity and secretly visited the representatives of the Monkaramali people.

Now Gideon Tarkin's main fleet has enough strength to control the Peremian trade channel, which is the main channel for external transportation on the planet Dark and one of the largest hyperspace channels in the Milky Way.

He made extremely generous promises to the Monkaramali people, including completely eliminating the Kurun people, giving the Monkaramali people full control of the planet Dak, establishing the Monkaramali Dominion, the imperial honorary racial title, trade privilege license, etc.
