Chapter 537: Bespin''s Line of Defense
"60 Venator-ss Star Destroyers?" Matt Horner frowned. "ording to our information, this is a battleship about the size of a Kol-ss Battlecruiser."
"There is no doubt that relying on the deep manufacturing background of the Kuat Drive Yards, the reliability of this kind of Warship must be higher than that of our current Main Battleship, the Kol-ss Battlecruiser." In the holographic projection, Mrs. M, the Minister of Military Intelligence, said.
"Since the Gctic Republic is so confident that sending 60 Venator-ss Star Destroyers can defeat our deployment on Bespin, they must have their own reasons." Matt Horner said: "I must consider the worst situation."
"In addition, Your Excellency the Governor also said that General Sev''rance Tann''s secret Military Operation is expected to start within 15 standard days. Once that happens, the Republic will have to put its main force in her direction. At that time, the war situation on Bespin will usher in a turning point." Mrs. M said.
"15 standard days? I understand. I will deploy on this premise." Matt Horner raised his wrist to look at the perpetual calendar on the watch, set a date reminder for himself, and then put his hands behind his back again. Behind him, he said very seriously: "I will definitely defend Bespin."
After finishing themunication, Matt Horner turned around and looked through the porthole to the outer space, where hundreds of Engineering Spaceships are building arge number of Cosmic Fortifications without rest.
This is the Defense System of the Trader Emergency Coalition from "Sins of a Sr Empire", which mainly includes the Gauss Defense tform and Hangar Defense tform.
The Gauss Defense tform is actually a Defensive Space Station with a height of 60 meters and a width of more than 30 meters. It is equipped with one Dual Gauss Cannon with a caliber of 500mm, two 16-unit Burst Rocket Launchers and two Autocannons. In fact, ording to the design of the Trader Emergency Coalition, this Defensive tform should also be equipped with a Meson Bolt Cannon, but this Weapon is still under development and has not been able to catch up with this battle.
The Hangar Defense tform is a Defensive Space Station with a height of 50 meters and a width of 120 meters. It is equipped with four Dual Autocannons and two Hangar tforms. Each Hangar can carry a Squadron of 12 Wraith Fighters or 24 Vulture Droid Fighters, and there is rtivelyplete maintenance and supply equipment inside.
This kind of Hangar tform is mainly to liberate the Main Battleship and can deploy the Fighters on the in a scattered manner, so as not to be blocked by the enemy, and once there is no need to take off andnd Fighters on the Main Battleships, the Deflector Shields of the Main Battleships will be more concentrated.
We must know that in various battles, Warships have to take into ount the take-off andnding of Fighters, so it is not umon for the enemy to seize the opportunity to directly severely damage them.
In order to enhance the concealment of the Gauss Defense tform and Hangar Defense tform, the Engineers of the Fourth Civilization also installed Stealth Equipment for these Space Stations. Although it is necessary to stop Stealth once it fires or takes off andnds Fighters, it also greatly improves the concealment of these two Interster Fortifications.
At present, Matt Horner is building a solid line of defense around Bespin, mainly on the outskirts of the Bespin Life Zone near Cloud City.
In addition to the 80 Missile Batteries deployed by the Sova-ss Carrier to block Bespin, 20 Hangar Defense tforms and 180 Gauss Defense tforms are also being built here.
Not only that, Matt Horner also deployed 20 Proximity Mine Fields. These Proximity Mine Fields are mainly arranged on the periphery of Cloud City and several other Floating Cities.
But this is not enough!
Matt Horner knew in his heart that now that the Hyperspace Lane connects all parts of the Gxy, it would take less than a day to sail from one end of the Gxy to the other. Such a situation has led to an extremely fast-paced and extremely tragic war, and Industrial capabilities will also upy the most important factor.
In other words, if one side has strong industrial capabilities, then they can build arge number of Warships andunch attacks from multiple directions simultaneously within a day, and their numerical advantage will be infinitely expanded.
On the other side, they can only hinder the opponent''s maneuvers by setting up Hyperspace Blockers, and if the Hyperspace Lane passesrge-scale Warships at high density in a short period of time, it will also cause disturbances. In this way, there is still resistance to some extent.
In other words, Matt Horner understands that it is easier said than done to defend Bespin for 15 days!
Most importantly, the Fleet of the Republic can afford to lose, but the Fleet of the Fourth Civilization, cannot afford to lose it!
Matt Horner pondered for a long time, and another battle n began to take shape in his mind. After thinking about it, he connected to themunication of Igor Zavarov, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Fourth Civilization.
...
Going forward 6 days in time, the Fleet of the Fourth Civilization marched in three directions. In addition to Fleet A attacking Bespin, Sev''rance Tann also sent her Adjutant to lead the main force of the Fourth Civilization Fleet B to Cerea.
After the civil war ended on Cerea and the establishment of a Republic that was alienated and willing to ept Technological Products, Elder Dorr-Femi-Bonmi became the Supreme Ruler of Cerea.
However, when Separatism really started to rise, the attitude of the Elder Dorr became a little ambiguous. Although he is rtively close to Separatism, he has always kept a close distance, neither supporting nor opposing. Whenever Count Dooku wishes to sign a treaty with him, he will always say Ceria has just begun to develop and cannot withstand such a war.
On May 21, when the Gctic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems officially met in battle, Dorr-Femi-Bonmi, the Supreme Leader of Cerea, dered Neutrality.
From the perspective of their itself, this decision is understandable.
However, from the perspective of the Fourth Civilization and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, this is aplete betrayal! You made an ambiguous statement to us at the beginning, and we provided tons of money to help you build aplete Industrial and Technological System from scratch. Now you turn your back on it and dere Neutrality?
Sorry, no.
On May 23, the Main Force of Fleet B set off.
In the early morning of May 24, Fleet B arrived at the Ceria.
When bursts of extremely intense white light appeared on the periphery of the''s Gravitational Circle, and Massive Warships one after another appeared here, the entirety of Cerea fell into panic!
20 Kol-ss battlecruisers, 20 Hiigaran-ss Battlecruisers, and 20 Sova-ss carriers, such a force can easily burn Cerea into a ss ball in one day!
The Supreme Leader Dorr-Femi-Bonmi was terrified. How could he never imagine that a like himself with no Industrial capabilities could attract such a Collosal Fleet?
He hurriedly asked the Diplomat to connect to themunication of the Commander of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, hoping to resolve this issue through Diplomacy.
What if the Separatist Fleet appears here, and then further attracts the Gctic Republic''s Fleet?!
