[Requesting reinforcements? Hahahahahaha!!] Dunne Wessex laughed loudly as if he heard some particularly funny joke, [Where was your show off before? You took away my flagship and carried it around everywhere.
What about when you ran away and left me on the planet waiting for death? Now you come to me for reinforcements? I have given you the most powerful battleship in the north, what else do you want?】
"Please understand, Lord Governor, that I am doing this just to hold off Severance Tann's main fleet without confronting her head-on," Thrawn said.
[Hold Tann back? Do you think it was you who held him back? Ah!] Dunn Wessex’s voice gradually increased, and the holographic projection suddenly turned into the sky of the planet Palin-Minor.
There, a burning moon hung clearly, shocking, [Hold Tan.
It was the 6 million residents of the Iron Moon and the defense system that I spent billions of credit points and ten years building in my footsteps!! If Tann had not targeted the Iron Moon at that time,
It was aimed at me! So now I am dead! Dead!!】
"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, since Severance Tann chose to target the Iron Moon, it means that she has no ability to harm the planet Palin Minor. It is still very safe there." Thrawn said.
[Safety? So, before Tann fired, you weren’t sure whether she was capable of hurting me, were you?] Dunn Wessex said coldly: [No matter how high-sounding your reasons are,
, you use our entire northern core planet, and me, the supreme commander of the northern territory and the governor in charge of the four legions, as human shields, just to test the performance of the Separatist Titan battleship? Just for this reason, I
There are 10,000 reasons to send you to the Imperial Military Court immediately!!】
"I'm very sorry, Lord Governor. This is indeed caused by my wrong command. However, I really have no other way to deal with the separatist Titan battleship, so I made this decision. I am willing to resign from the military after this battle.
, and confirm your successful planning and command at the combat hearing." Thrawn said solemnly.
He had almost never been so humble in his life.
However, although what Dunn Wessex said is flawed from a military perspective, it is indeed impeccable in terms of politics and people's livelihood. No matter how good Thrawn's reasons are, he always treats the equivalent of the northern capital as
The planet Palin-Minor withdrew to serve as a human shield, leaving the planet's defense system alone to withstand all the unknown attack methods of the Titan battleship Archangel, and to face the ever-invincible super general Severance.
-Tane!
Although in terms of probability, the possibility of the Titan battleship Hercules destroying the Palin-Minor planet by a single ship is infinitely close to zero, but even if there is the slightest possibility, his battle plan is absolutely wrong.
The decision to let the administrative capital be used as a human shield can only be made by the supreme ruler. For example, in the Battle of Model Sector at the end of the Clone Wars, the Dawn Kingdom put Cassio Tag's fleet into the Dawn Planet to annihilate it.
, this decision must be made by Tang Xiao. If anyone else dares to say this, no matter how good the reason or brilliant strategy is, the result will be a loss of head!
What's more, because of Thrawn's strategy, 6 million soldiers and civilians on the Iron Moon literally lost their lives.
The so-called army sometimes insists on not retreating even though it knows it is wrong and stupid. This is because protecting the homeland and the country is the most basic duty of the army. But Thrawn's order violates this.
This is why Thrawn took such a low profile. He was indeed wrong.
But at the same time, he also saw that the current battle situation has reached a very delicate moment. In a single thought or a step, victory may turn into failure, and failure into victory!
With the current power in his hands, he has reached his limit and can no longer move forward. At this time, the batch of reinforcements that Dunn Wessex just received became the key to victory or defeat!
The Titan battleship God's Envoy must seize this opportunity and severely damage it! Otherwise, if we let the God's Envoy go this time, we will need to use ten or twenty times the strength to do it next time!
Although Severance Tann fell into a trap this time, it does not mean that she is mediocre. In fact, her command ability is still the best in the entire galaxy. After this failure, Thrawn did not think that Severance was a mediocre person.
Si-Tan will give him any chance again.
Learning from failures is also one of the concepts of Keith Naval Academy. This is also equivalent to another form of "strike first".
Maybe it was Thrawn's lowly attitude that made Dunn Wessex very satisfied, or maybe he did feel the huge threat from the Titan battleship Archangel. Dunn Wessex snorted coldly and adjusted.
Looking at the angle of the holographic projection, this time the picture was finally not the withered potted plant or the burning satellite, but the King of the North himself.
He should have had his appearance groomed just now. His hair and clothes were neatly arranged. He looked dignified and majestic. He glanced at Thrawn and said proudly: "Tell me, how is my flagship doing now?"
Thrawn explained the current battle situation as briefly as possible, and then said sincerely: "...Now we are racing against time. Severance Tann is trying to open the hyperspace channel, and I am using my fleet to do everything possible.
Attack with all its strength, allowing it to use more energy for gunfire and shields. At the same time, our battleships are also deploying hyperspace blockers around the Titan battleships, and the Interdictor-class Star Destroyers are also increasing their power. Everything is
In order to delay the arrival of Tann’s reinforcements.”
His eyes were very sharp, "The current situation is that whoever gets the reinforcements first will win the final victory! Severance Tann doesn't have many warships left on the Palin-Minor planet, and they aren't very advanced.
battleships, with your wisdom and prowess, it will not be a problem to defeat that fleet."
Finally, Thrawn said very sincerely: "Sir Governor, the key to victory in this most important battle in the north lies in your hands."
Dunne Wessex was obviously very impressed by the last sentence, and the corners of his mouth finally turned up slightly, "Yes, I have already detected the fleet left by Severance Tann. That fleet
It is true that most of them are old-model battleships such as Cole-class battlecruisers and Victory II-class Star Destroyers. These battleships are no match for me."
"Then, please take action, Lord Governor, to win this victory." Thrawn said.
