War Declaration

After Tang Xiao and Sev'rance Tann returned to the Endor System, Count Dooku announced the establishment of the Confederacy of Independent Systems immediately. According to the previous combat plan, their Military Operations also started immediately.

At the Supreme Military Commander's Meeting, Tang Xiao stood at the head of the meeting wearing a mighty Military Uniform and officially issued a combat order.

"As I said 13 years ago! The war has broken out! This is a war that can easily destroy any planet and wipe out any civilization in the Galaxy! But at the same time, it is also a battle for the foothold of our Fourth Civilization! Our goal is neither to defeat the Galactic Republic nor to help the Confederacy of Independent Systems! Our goal is our own living space! The flag of the Fourth Civilization should be planted in every corner of the Galaxy! We are the Fourth Natural Disaster! Not a docile Kitten! Starting today, the entire Galaxy will see our power!" Tang Xiao said loudly.

His expression was even a little ferocious because of the excessive and powerful Force of the Dark Side, which was unscrupulously blown out, making everyone present feel the tremor from the depths of their hearts, and even the depths of their souls!

"So today! Now! I am honored to announce the beginning of the war!" He slammed his fist on the table, "Remember this sentence! I am a Natural Disaster!"

"I am a Natural Disaster!" Everyone present, General Xian Hui, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao, Deputy Commander of the Army, Qi Jian, Chief of the General Staff, Mrs. M, Minister of Military Intelligence, and Admiral Igor Zavarov, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy General, Admiral Matt Horner, Commander of Fleet A, and others immediately stood up and saluted.

Even Sev'rance Tann, who usually looks down on anyone and scolds whenever she opens her mouth, looked at Tang Xiao seriously and stood at attention to salute. There seemed to be some strange look in her eyes.

"Everyone obey orders!" Tang Xiao said loudly: "Fleet C will be defending the Endor System, and all other forces are dispatched! Attack the Galactic Republic!"

"Fleet A, Matt Horner!"

"Arrive!"

"Execute Plan B and attack the Gas Giant Bespin! Code name, 'Operation Explosion'! Within a month, I want to see the Colony, all Mining, Fuel Depots and Gas Refining Facilities in Bespin provide Tibanna Gas for our Fourth Civilization!" Tang Xiao Said.

"Yes!"

"Admiral Xian Hui, the main force of the Army cooperates with the actions of Fleet A! Destroy Bespin's resistance, and don't give them a chance to destroy the Refinery!"

"Yes!"

"Fleet B, Sev'rance Tann!"

"You split into two groups. The Main Fleet will be settled on Cerea and urged them to sign a contract with us. Remember! It's with us, not with the Confederacy of Independent Systems!" Tang Xiao said.

"This wouldn't be enough to send me there, I can just send a Lieutenant General to go. Tell me, what is my mission?" Sev'rance Tann stroked the curly hair on her forehead and asked.

"It's a secret mission. It involves information about a Secret Weapon of the Galactic Republic. It just so happens that the Co-Chairman of the Interstellar Banking Clan San Hill is following up on this matter. We must get this Secret Weapon. My Apprentice, Eldra Kaitis will join the battle as your assistant, and she will also be responsible for your safety. This is not an easy task, but remember, no matter what happens, I hope you can come back alive." Tang Xiao said.

Sev'rance Tann stroked her hair and smiled faintly: "What, are you worried about me?"

"I hope everyone here can survive the war! You are irreplaceable!" Tang Xiao paused and added, "Even if death is unavoidable, at least leave me a whole body and notify me in time. I will revive you."

After finishing speaking, he took a step back to give up his seat, stood at attention saluted everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "Then, I wish you all the best of luck!"

...

The War Machine that the Fourth Civilization has been warming up for a long time is finally fully activated at this moment!

22BBY, May 23rd, Galactic Standard Time, at 7:00 pm, Fourth Civilization Fleet A has 10 Sova-class Carriers, 50 Kol-class Battlecruisers, and 10 Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers, escorting 6 fully loaded Lucrehulk-class Battleships departed from Annaj, the Capital Planet of the Ayrou Civilization, and directly killed Bespin via the Hyperspace Lane!

Three hours later, the Hyperspace Lane was stabilized. Fleet B has 20 Kol-class Battlecruisers, 20 Higra-class battlecruisers, and 20 Sova-class Carriers, escorting 3 Lucrehulk-class Battleships into the Hyperspace Lane to Cerea.

This is also a very troublesome place in the Moddell Sector.

For example, the Ayrou Civilization, their Homeworld is not on Annaj, but they still moved their Capital there because only Annaj has a relatively stable Hyperspace Lane in the entire Moddell Sector, while those of other Planets Hyperspace Lanes are unstable.

Especially when passing through Large-Scale Fleets, entering Hyperspace Lanes from other Planets is often greatly disturbed. Although the maturity of Hyperspace Navigation Technology prevents such interference from causing fatal consequences, course deviation is inevitable. For Large-Scale Fleets, sometimes it is really fatal.

In the original plot, when the Galactic Empire built the Death Star 2 in the Endor System, the Main Assembly Point was also on Annaj.

Coupled with the hostility of the Ayrou Civilization towards the Fourth Civilization, the transfer of Fleet A and Fleet B was immediately reported secretly to the Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic by the intelligence personnel.

For the Fourth Civilization, this step must be taken!

Only by stepping out of the Moddell Sector can we have a more expansive strategic space.

However, this is definitely not easy. In this completely obvious strategic offensive direction, the Galactic Republic has enough time and strength to defend these two directions.

Especially in the direction of Bespin as Incom Corporation and Corellian Engineering Corporation both hold large shares here, and this is also one of the Galactic Republic's most important Tibanna Gas production areas. It is definitely not easy to attack here.

Especially the latter. As one of the largest industrial enterprises with the longest history in the Galactic Republic, the Corellian Engineering Corporation has a terrifying background and strength.

The only thing Tang Xiao could rely on was the involvement of Geonosis in the Military Power of the Republic and Severance Tann's secret operations.

...

At 4 o'clock in the morning on May 24th, Standard Galactic Time, the Battleships of Fleet A of the Fourth Civilization broke away from Hyperspace, and the Colossal Fleet came to the Gravitational Circle of the Gas Giant Bespin.

The Local Defense Fleet of Bespin has already been alerted and is ready for battle. Without any pleasantries, the Fleets of both sides opened fire as soon as they met!

The Battle of Bespin has officially begun!
