Bloody Battle At Bespin (10)

Bespin, Cloud City.

This is an umbrella-shaped Floating City with a diameter of 16.2 kilometers and a height of 17.3 kilometers. The "umbrella handle" part at a height of about 11 kilometers is mainly an industrial area and as many as 36,000 sets of Anti-Gravity Engines. It is this powerful Engine that makes Cloud City It can float in such a stable manner at a distance of 60,000 kilometers from the core of Bespin, and it can carry 6 Million residents.

In fact, it was the existence of such a Floating City that made the Glory Mothership of the Fourth Civilization not so obtrusive. In the eyes of most people, the Glory Mothership is actually similar to such a Floating City.

However, because of the shape problem, although the Glory Mothership is 40 kilometers high, it needs to exclude a lot of space to install the Engine, and the actual volume is only about one-third of that of Cloud City.

Cloud City has a total of 392 floors, 1-50 floors are tourist areas, 51-100 floors are high-end residential areas, 101-120 floors are administrative office areas, 121-160 floors are private areas, also known as port towns, and workers continue down. Low-level dirty places like residential areas, industrial areas, and power areas are gone.

After Matt Horner occupied Bespin, because he expected the Republic's upcoming counterattack, he drove all the residents of Cloud City below the 161st floor. Those well-dressed aristocrats and rich people who lived in the upper class refused to go to that dirty place but driven by the Army, they also had to squeeze together with those stinking untouchables, reluctantly living with resentment in their hearts.

After all, Bespin is different from those ordinary livable Planets. There are only Floating Cities here, no wilderness areas, and no Rural Villages. Once a war breaks out, those Civilians don't even have a place to evacuate.

After realizing that he was powerless to prevent the landing of the Republic Fleet, Matt Horner connected the Communication of the opposing Commander in the Public Channel.

"I am the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Admiral of the West Theater, Matt Horner." He stood up straight with his hands behind his back, but only pointed his chin at him, and said proudly.

It not only shows the demeanor of one's own Soldiers, but also expresses contempt for the enemy.

"Galaxy Republic, Admiral of the 19th Legion, McGlenn." Admiral McGlenn gave a casual Military Salute, very perfunctory, "Then the traitors of the Republic found me and wanted to surrender?"

"The Civilian Evacuation Zone is below the 161st floor of Cloud City." Matt Horner didn't answer McGlenn's words but said coldly.

"I understand what you mean, but if even one bullet is fired from the Civilian Evacuation Area, my Army will not hesitate to fight back." Admiral McGlenn also replied coldly.

"Then the 160th to 156th floors are used as a demilitarized zone, and our Troops will not enter except for the minimum Security Forces, but if you break this point, we will regard that you are no longer concerned about the safety of Civilians, then we will take all possible means to fight back, and record your atrocities and publish them throughout the Galaxy." Matt Horner continued.

"Deal, young boy, I have been in the Army for 40 years, what haven't I seen? I have my own integrity, and it will never affect Civilians, and it will also give you a miserable failure." McGlenn, who is in his 50s Matt Horner, who was many years old, said, "Don't think that those businessmen gave you the position of Admiral and you are great. Those businessmen of your Separatism, I am afraid that you will never know what war is for the rest of your life, hahaha... "

"Leave these words to your Marines who are about to lay dead in the field." Matt Horner dropped this sentence and cut off the communication directly.

...

Boom!!!! A Heavy Shell hit a tall building, and a gap was blown out of the ultra-light alloy building. The outer shell twisted, and some structures fell overwhelmed.

Boom~~~!! There was a loud noise, and then there was a sound of metal rubbing. The falling metal parts hit a large walking machine with six legs, but the walking machine was as stable as a rock. The place where he came from fired three shots in a row.

Amidst the violent explosions, the Soldiers of the Galactic Republic in Gray-Blue Military Uniforms struggled forward on the battlefield that was almost blown into ruins.

These Soldiers wore Polymer Alloy Helmets and a Simple Respirator, and only the chest and wrists were protected by Polymer Alloy Armor. The Standard Weapon was the EE-3 Carbine Rifle.

Compared with the Clone Troopers armed to the teeth, the equipment of these Soldiers is crude, but in fact, this is the true appearance of the Soldiers who account for more than 95% of the entire Army of the Galactic Republic.

That's right, 95%... The 200,000 Clone Troopers who are still struggling on Geonosis at this time period are almost equivalent to 5% of the entire Galactic Republic Army.

Even the Galactic Republic, which has a population of Trillions, does not have more than ten Million Troops, and there is no standing Army.

After winning the Sith War, the Galactic Republic no longer had any enemies in the Galaxy, and naturally, there was no need for an Army, and the Russan Reform came into being.

After this, the Galactic Republic really never really broke out in war, only some regional conflicts, and such a conflict, the Jedi Order can already handle it, because a powerful Jedi Knight has the ability to directly enter the enemy's formation to take the core, capture the thief and capture the king, and also has the ability to solve problems diplomatically with superb eloquence and extremely high charisma.

If it really doesn't work, even if the Judicial Fleet is not scared to death, it will basically not develop into a large-scale land battle. If the scale is smaller, there will be enough Jedi Knights. With the deterrence of the Fleet and the coordination of the Jedi Knights, many disputes are mediated in this way, and naturally, there is no need for an Army.

It was not until more than ten years ago that this model lost its effect in the face of Giant Corporations with growing strength and ambition.

In the past thousand years, the position of the Army of the Galactic Republic is roughly equivalent to the Militia or the Armed Police, and now the Army mobilized because of this war is actually basically drawn from the Security Forces of various Planets, and the combat effectiveness and training level cannot be expected to be too high.

However, even for such an Army, the strong Industrial capabilities of the Galactic Republic can equip them with powerful equipment such as AT-TE Walkers.

...

"The southern section of Holiday Avenue encountered the landing of the Republic Army! There are Starfighters bombing us, requesting Air Support!" In a commercial building, the Company Commander of the Fourth Civilization Guard was reporting the situation of the enemy.

In the sky outside, there are Starfighters from the Galactic Republic constantly roaring past. They have a huge number, and they have made the Starfighter units of the Fourth Civilization lose sight of one another, and they have already mastered air supremacy in many places.

"There is no Air Support! You must hold your ground, at all costs!" The instructions given by the rear were cold.

However, the Army Soldiers of the Fourth Civilization did not flinch in the slightest. The Company Commander said loudly: "Yes! We must hold our ground!"

He turned on the Communication in his Helmet and said: "Listen to the Soldiers of the 1st Company! Drive those sloppy Republic Troops back to there hometown!"
