The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

657. Bespin Line of Defense

Planet Bespin will be attacked again, which Tang Xiao and the Command of the Fourth Civilization have long expected. After all, for Planet Dawn, Planet Bespin is not only a huge source of resources, but also a very important transportation hub. road!

This time Tang Xiao's plan for the planet Christopher Sis, the most critical link is the hyperspace channel of the planet Bespin!

Therefore, the construction of the Bespin planet's defense line began to operate in the first second after the planet was captured.

And the core part of the defense line is the Argonev-class interstellar base!

However, the construction of such a huge interstellar base will take at least a year. This has been confirmed by the Jivin people. Star base.

After all, the Yag-Dur planet is not just the home planet of the Givins located in the inner ring, but also because it is the super dock of the Ragnarov-class Titan battleship!

Fortunately, the Galactic Republic has not yet noticed that there is such a low-key and developed Ji Wen who has become a member of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies right under their noses. Battleship!

But that's off topic. At that time, Tang Xiao and the leadership of the Fourth Civilization racked their brains in order to form the defense line of Planet Bespin in a short period of time. In the end, a master architect proposed a plan - using local materials, Use the floating cities around the planet Bespin as a base!

The proposal was immediately approved and work on it began immediately. At that time, the Given people dismantled some of the core components that had been built for a long time on the two ready-made Argonev-class interstellar bases around the planet Yag-Dur, and secretly transported them to the planet Bespin.

After careful screening, the engineering team of the Fourth Civilization finally chose Shefa City as the core framework of the new Argonev-class interstellar base.

Shefa City is a factory floating city, with a diameter of 6,000 meters and a height of about 7,000 meters. Its shape is closest to the Agonev-class interstellar base, and it is a boxy umbrella.

Moreover, this floating city was originally built as a large-scale factory for processing the main structure of Yuncheng when Yuncheng was being built. The gases rich in various elements in the Bespin planet are extracted, processed into some rare materials, and then sold.

In this way, it is much easier to transform this floating city, and those materials can be directly processed on the spot, and then installed.

In the end, when choosing the construction team, the Fourth Civilization chose the Vathians who joined the Fourth Civilization not long ago.

They were originally affiliated to the Ailu people. Later, the Ailu people stupidly went to war with the Fourth Civilization. After being beaten up, the Fourth Civilization also took advantage of the situation to turn against the Vasian people. Tang Xiao personally canonized the elders of the Vasian people as Wa The Pope of Zion, and built a golden altar for them, completely won the loyalty of the Vathians.

So this time, the Vasian, who wanted to contribute to the family of the Fourth Civilization, took the initiative to undertake the construction of the Argonev-class interstellar base on the planet Bespin.

They put 1 million skilled laborers to the planet Bespin, and these laborers are very good engineers. They are very proficient in mechanical processing, manufacturing, and the construction of large buildings. They don’t even need too much explanation from the engineers of Dawn Planet to understand, and most importantly, they are very strong, and they can complete many constructions even if they cannot control SCVs. Work.

What's more, the Vathian people are not only strong, talented in engineering, hard-working, but also very adaptable. They can even seal the pores of their bodies and survive in the space environment for half an hour. Another time, because of some problems with the spaceship transporting supplies, these Vathian people actually worked for a week without food, and they still didn't fall behind the progress of the project, which made Tang Xiao greatly admired.

So, with the efforts of all parties, Planet Bespin actually built a magnificent Argonev-class interstellar base in only two months!

In addition, there are 700 Gauss firepower platforms, 300 hangar platforms, and more than 100 empty minefields.

Now, this solid line of defense is under full attack from the main force of the 19th Army of the Galactic Republic!

The huge force of 80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, 20 Arquitens-class light cruisers, and 20,000 fighter jets [Note 1] is enough to make any opponent tremble.

As for the Fourth Civilization's defenders, except for 5 Cole-class battlecruisers and 5 Martha-class heavy cruisers, the rest are small battleships. Including 10 Apocalypse-class light cruisers, 10 Brown Bear-class heavy destroyers, 100 Cobalt-class heavy frigates, 150 Guard-class anti-aircraft destroyers, and more than 500 Reckless-class/Spike-class light frigates.

In addition, there are more than 120 pulse-star light frigates, more than 50 revenge-class light destroyers, and even the Hammer-class frigates that have been retired from active service have been dragged out to be controlled by B-1 robots on the battlefield. Supporting these warships are 10,000 vulture robot fighters and 2,000 ghost fighters.

Igor Zavalov's deployment for the first phase of this battle is to use a large number of frigates and rely on the Agonev-class interstellar base for defense.

The commander of the Galactic Republic Fleet, Admiral McGlenn, also put on an aggressive posture this time, and 80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers directly pressed on, relying on powerful firepower and a large number of fighter jets to resolve the battle at once.

In this way, no matter what moves you have, you can only go head-to-head with his fleet! And this has never been something that the fleet of the Republic has worried about!

Admiral McGlenn called his tactic the "axe tactic". It's like chopping someone with a tomahawk, going forward without leaving stamina, why use seven points of strength to save three points, nonsense, all you want is to chop you to death with one axe, not even a second blow!

With the dense firepower of the defenders, 80 hunter-class battlecruisers approached the range of Yuncheng after paying the price of the destruction of 5 battleships, and detected all stealth fighters and stealth firepower platforms through the powerful sensors of the battleships, and directly followed The defenders of the Fourth Civilization launched a meat grinding battle! -

[Note 1: I need to say here that I magnified a lot of data in this book. In the setting, the size of the troops in "Star Wars" is very strange. During the Clone Wars, 159 V-19 fighters were used in the battle of Mullinster, which is called "large-scale use of V-19 fighters", which makes me very puzzled. On the one hand, both the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Galaxies have tens of thousands of galaxies, and their industrial capabilities are so strong. On the other hand, there are only so few 3 or 4 Jaeger-class ships participating in each battle.

But the problem is, even if you only have 3 Jaeger-class ships, you still have the carrying capacity of more than 1,200 fighter jets, right? And since the Galactic Empire can explode 26,000 Empire-class Star Destroyers in 20 years, then during the Clone Wars, you wouldn't have single-digit warships in a single battle? This is not reflected in the movie or animation.

Therefore, in many places in this book, I have enlarged the data to a more appropriate volume. Of course, the result of this is that the military strength data of many battles is seriously inconsistent with the settings, and it is a matter of opinion in this regard. 】
