Chapter 655: Determined


    [In view of the fact that the Main Fleet of the Dawn has appeared on Christophsis, please respond immediately to contain the Separatist Fleet and provide Fire Support for the battle on Christophsis. ]


    Governor Smar looked at the Official Electronic Letter on the Holographic Screen in front of him, and heaved a long sigh of relief, not knowing whether he was nervous or rxed.


    But one thing is certain, since he took office as the Governor of the 19th Army more than two months ago, the white hair on his forehead has increased visible to the naked eye.


    He was born into a Middle-ss Family in the Core Worlds, but he has been soaring in the Officialdom all the way with the thigh of a Wealthy Family and he never took this War seriously. In his opinion, those Mud-Leggeds in the Outer Rim made a fuss casually before and no one took it seriously, but now they are really going to be Independent. If thes in the Inner Rim and the Core Worlds are serious, wouldn''t they be pped to death?


    Among other things, look at the Super Factories in the Inner Rims and the Core Worldss whosend area is measured by continental tes, and the long list of output values that can''t be counted without the help of tools. Can the Outer Rimspare?


    But now he understands that to fight a War, he needs to do too many things...


    Smar is not mediocre, on the contrary, he is very diligent and intelligent, otherwise, he would not have been able to climb to this position, but this War has indeed exceeded his ability.


    The Battle of Bespin had already knocked out all his spirits, but now, the elusive Dawn Fleet made him even more mentally exhausted.


    Although the Gctic Republic''s Support for him is not insignificant, even though 48 Venator-ss Star Destroyers were lost in the Battle of Bespin, the Republic quickly added 110 Venator-ss Star Destroyers into his hands, 40 more Arquitens-ss Light Cruisers, and a Large Number of Frigates. With such a Heavy Army in his hands, he still only dared to stick behind the Defense Line of Javin and did not dare to go one step further.


    But those days are finally over!


    He had to make a choice a day ago, and he kicked the ball back to the Supreme Strategic Command, now, the Supreme Strategic Command made a choice for him, as he wished, but this choice was not what he really wanted.


    "s..." Smar didn''t know how many times he sighed. What shoulde is stilling. He pressed the button and said in a deep voice, "Admiral McGlenn, pleasee to my office."


    A momentter, Admiral McGlenn, who was already dressed in Military Uniform, pushed open the office door and walked in with his head held high. It seemed that he was ready and was not affected by the previous fiasco at all.


    "General, if we attack Bespin again, how sure are you? How many Fleets will we need?" Smar asked straight to the point.


    "If the opponent''s Fleet A is not there, I''m 90% sure. But I think that since Dawn dares to send Fleet A, they must be prepared. We still need to concentrate our Superior Forces to crush it." McGlenn made a one-size-fits-all gesture.


    "ording to what we know now, the Separatists are building a Large Armed Space Station on Bespin, but because this Space Station is located inside the atmosphere of Bespin, we cannot get more urate information. Are you relying on it?" Smar said.


    "Maybe, but we still need to be prepared, and at the same time, we must also prevent them from attacking Javin while we are attacking." Admiral Maglen said, "So, this time I need 80 Venator-ss Star Destroyers!"


    "80 Warships?! This is basically the limit of the Mobile Power we can use on the premise of retaining the Minimum Defense of Javin!" Smar was taken aback, "This ispletely desperate!"


    McGlenn said solemnly: "Your Excellency, in war, there are only two oues: Victory and Defeat. Since we have decided to attack, we must win back a Victory, otherwise, we might as well continue to hold on to our current position."


    Smar frowned, still looking a little hesitant.


    McGlenn went on to say: "And I do think that the strength of 80 Venator-ss Star Destroyers is not safe enough..."


    "Where do we get more Warships?" Smar was a little impatient with McGlenn''s greed.


    "We don''t have more power in our hands, but others have...for example, the Ayrou Civilization..." Admiral McGlenn''s face darkened, "The Ayrou Civilization in the Moddell Sector, because of Dawn, there was friction in the Colony of the Kuna Constetion, and a War broke out between the two sides. But they were defeated by the Dawn within a few days."


    "I know about it. But what does it have to do with us? Because of that War, the Ayrou Civilization withdrew from the Gctic Republic, and since they could be defeated by the Dawn in a few days, they can be defeated now." Smar frowned.


    Admiral McGlenn said, "Do you know why the Ayrou Civilization were defeated within a few days?"


    Smar shook her head, waiting for McGlenn''s opinion.


    "Because they put themselves in the same position as Dawn or even higher, and want topete with Dawn in space." Admiral McGlenn said, "Now, if they lower their stance... ...then the situation is different..."


    "Is there any point in doing this?"


    "Of course there is. Annaj has the most Stable Hyperspace Lane in the entire Moddell Sector. If the Dawn wants to send Troops to reinforce Bespin, a Large-Scale Fleet must pass through Annaj, otherwise, it will have to wait until the Endor Systems Unstable Hyperspace Lane, which can only be set off after it stabilizes, so the time is uncertain. Therefore, as long as we can control the Hyperspace Lane of Annaj, we are equivalent to dividing the Control Area of the Dawn into three!" McGlenn clicked hard on the Holographic Star Map a few times.


    Smar looked at the ce marked by McGlenn on the Holographic Star Map. In this mark, a red line was drawn on Annaj, and this red line connected to Bespin, Noe''ha''on, then Dawn, and where Fleet A and Fleet B were located divided into three parts.


    His expression kept changing, and then he asked in a low voice, "How sure are you on the Annaj?"


    "Before, the Jedi Knights sent Master Shen-Jon to work on Annaj. Later, Master Shen-Jon was transferred back to the Core Worlds to defend Sarapin. Master Yahe [Note 1:] took over, and her work has been quite effective," said Admiral McGlenn.


    Smar''s eyes finally became firm. He nodded fiercely and said, "Then, let''s act!"


    -


    [Note: 1 Not sure which Jedi Master the Author is talking about but he said it was a 40-year-old Falleen Woman so if you guys know, do let me know and I''ll change it, until then I''ll stick with Yahe. ]
