Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 631: The Second Strongest Battleship

Chapter 631: The Second Strongest Battleship

The Core Area of the Glory Mothership, the Supreme Military Command of the Fourth Civilization.

Tang Xiao looked at Qi Jian, the Chief of the General Staff, Helmut Zemo, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Igor Zavarov, the Commander-In-Chief of the Navy, Matt Horner, the Commander of the Fleet A, Sev'rance Tann, the Commander of the Fleet B, Army Commander-In-Chief Xian Hui, Army Deputy Commander Cheng Shitao, Minister of Intelligence Mrs. M, Cyber Warfare Expert Super Lotus, and Fleet C Acting Commander Admiral Trench participated in the meeting remotely through Hyperspace Communication.

He said slowly: "My time is limited, let me first convey the recent Combat Crder sent by the Supreme Command of the Confederacy of Independent Systems - we need to launch an attack on the 19th Army of the Galactic Republic and Kaller within a week. At the same time, I need to ensure that our original plan to occupy Christophsis will not be affected."

"It is absolutely not advisable to attack Kaller. The opponent has built a very strong Line of Defense there. Among other things, the Heavy Turbolaser Turrets on the Four Armed Space Stations are enough for our Warships to suffer heavily." Matt Horner shook his head and said.

"Sulamar, the Governor of the 19th Army, was originally the Minister of Finance of the Galactic Republic. Among other things, he is definitely very good at making money and engineering." Mrs. M, the Minister of Intelligence, said seriously.

Tang Xiao glanced at Matt Horner and said, "They have Armed Space Stations, and so do we."

"But the problem is that Sulamar has already been beaten on Bespin, and I'm afraid he won't come here so easily." Matt Horner said.

Tang Xiao knocked on the table and said, "So I hope that you will come up with a plan as soon as possible. Not only will I capture Christophsis as planned, but I will also take the initiative to attack Kaller without too much loss."

"With all due respect, Governor. Blind pursuit of comprehensiveness in the Military often backfires," Matt Horner said.

"I agree with what you said, but you have to understand that this is why you are standing here." After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Everyone looked at each other left and right and looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this time, Helmut Zemo suddenly said: "The failure of the Battle of Bespin is not only a nightmare for Sulamar but also a shame. For a newly appointed Governor who has become the Governor of 20 War Zones in the Galaxy, what would he think? You understand Military Affairs, and his Generals also understand Military Affairs, however, Sulamar, who is the Supreme Commander, is only a Finance Minister. Let us try to figure out what he would do from the perspective of his psychology and politics."

Everyone was lost in thought again.

...

A Shuttle came to the Outer Rim of the Galaxy, near an inconspicuous Planet in the Calamari Sector.

Pammant.

The Planet is only about 4,000 kilometers in diameter, and its surface is barren. But in fact, this Planet is a nearly Hollow Planet. Under the crust, there is a vast and complex Underground Water Network and countless Underground Tunnels.

Therefore, the Quarren, an Aquatic Race, declared their sovereignty over Pammant Thousands of Years ago and built a Huge Shipyard there.

Now, after Thousands of Years of development, this Massive Shipyard is displayed in front of Tang Xiao who is riding a Shuttle.

This is a Super Dock composed of dozens of Large Shipbuilding Platforms, each of which has an area of Thousands of Square Kilometers. On this extremely Huge Super Dock, you can see that there are Hundreds of Warships docked.

These Warships are all Providence-class Destroyers. This powerful Warship with a length of 1,088 Meters is currently the most powerful Warship in the Confederation of Independent Galaxy. Its comprehensive performance is stronger than the Kol-class Battlecruiser of the Fourth Civilization, and its Modular Design allows it to easily change its Combat Functions according to the Battle Situation.

The Shuttle flew over this endless Super Dock. On the Shipyard, countless B-1 Battle Droids and Vulture Droid Starfighters in Walking Mode raised their heads and looked at his side. After getting the correct identification code, they lowered their heads and continued to wait in place motionless.

The Shuttle landed in one of the Super Docks. Tang Xiao took four T-850 Bodyguards and walked out of the Cabin Door. Count Dooku came to greet him personally. He walked up to hold Tang Xiao's hand very warmly. Said: "Your Excellency, welcome to one of the Largest Shipyards in the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Pammant Docks. This is also the Headquarters of the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps we established..."

He made a gesture of invitation, and led Tang Xiao towards the interior, introducing the situation of this Huge Shipyard to Tang Xiao as he walked.

Tang Xiao noticed that basically, except for the Droids, most of them were Quarrens and Sullustans.

Sullustans are not tall, generally between 1.1 and 1.5 meters. They have a pair of big black eyes and very thick gills, which look very ugly, but in fact, they have a very strong Sense of Direction, and Spatial Memory, and are very good Pilots and Engineers.

The Sullustans are very hard-core Confederacy members. In the original plot, there are many Sullustan Pilots in the Rebel Army and they are often seen in Star Wars 4~6. After the fall of the Confederacy, they have been fighting against the Galactic Empire until the establishment of the Rebel Alliance.

"...There are more than 1 Million Engineers and Tens of Millions of Droid Workers here, who can start to build 500 Warships at the same time, and the Warships launched from here will also fly to every corner of the Galaxy, letting our iron hooves step on every Planet!" On the side, Count Dooku was still proudly introducing his achievements.

Pulling the Quarren into the chariot of the Confederacy of Independent Systems has always been one of his most proud masterpieces.

Tang Xiao nodded casually and looked at this Huge Shipyard with envy. Even if the Star Ring surrounding Dawn has been completed, its scale is nothing compared to this Super Dock.

At present, the Production Capacity of Dawn can only reach less than one-tenth of that of Pammant Docks.

If only he could have such a huge dock... Tang Xiao thought to himself.

When walking through a transparent long corridor, Tang Xiao suddenly noticed that on a Platform Outside, five people dressed as Engineers were standing side by side with their hands tied behind their backs and behind them was a row of B-1 Battle Droids.

It seemed that this was the scene of a shooting.

Count Dooku also noticed Tang Xiao's gaze, and he explained: "Please don't pay attention, these people are a few spies we caught. They discovered the Warships we secretly built and wanted to tell the news to the Republic, but it was discovered."

As soon as the voice fell, the B-1 Battle Droids outside opened fire. A burst of Light passed by. These people were directly smashed into sieves by the Blaster Energy Beams, and their bodies were blown to pieces. Some fragments were even melted by the Blaster Energy Beams high temperature and burned directly.

Tang Xiao sighed with emotion, shook his head, and continued to walk forward, seeming quite unbearable.

Count Dooku kept staring at Tang Xiao's every reaction, and he asked slowly: "Is your Excellency afraid of shooting a few people?"

Tang Xiao smiled stiffly, as if he still had some lingering fears, and said, "Oh, I would never go to a scene like this in person... Even if you let me fly a Starfighter, it's okay, but this... I really don't know... I have some discomfort, sorry."

Count Dooku nodded slightly, "I'm sorry for letting you see such a scene. After these Spies were caught and interrogated, they were directly executed, but I didn't expect to be seen by you by such a coincidence... It was my mistake."

Tang Xiao waved his hand, "It's okay, this is what they deserved, now I am looking forward to what your Secret Weapon is."

"Oh, the Secret Weapon." Count Dooku said as if remembering something, "I almost forgot...the Secret Weapon is right under our feet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xiao only heard a low-pitched mechanical roar coming from around him, and then he felt as if the whole ground under his feet was trembling, and then he started to move.

In fact, if it weren't for the roar of the machinery, it would be difficult for Tang Xiao to realize that he was moving, because what moved was the entire ground under his feet, and even the surrounding buildings were moving. Without reference to objects, he even had a sense of movement. He had the illusion that he was following the rotation of a Planet.

But soon, he saw that in another direction, the ground was completely split, and a very Huge Hatch appeared. This Hatch, you can hardly see the edge at a glance, like a big rift valley with no end in sight!

Under this cracked ground, there is a group of buildings that also have no end in sight, but are very regular. In a very far away place, you can see a towering bridge that looks exactly like the tail of a Providence-class Destroyer.

That's right, it's impossible to see the whole picture with the naked eye, and the structure and shape can't be seen here at all, it's a Spaceship!

A Very Huge Spaceship!

"This...is our Secret Weapon, the most powerful Warship in the entire Galaxy right nowthe Malevolence!" Count Dooku's tone was filled with fanaticism.

Tang Xiao looked at this Huge Battleship, or in other words, the Battleship that looked like a continent in front of him and swallowed his saliva. Finally, it appeared!

The Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser, in the Chaotic Warship Division of the Galaxy, this class of Warship has multiple different levels such as Heavy Cruiser, Battleship, Dreadnought, and Star Destroyer, but in general perception, most call it a Battleship.

During the entire Clone Wars, it deserves to be the Strongest Battleship!

"...This Battleship is the first ship of the Subjugator-class, with a length of 4,845 meters. It takes 16 sets of powerful Thrusters to move this Huge Battleship. It can easily destroy an entire Fleet!" Count Dooku explained with vigor.

Tang Xiao nodded solemnly. In fact, even the Ragnarov-class Titan Battleship in his hands cannot be said to be a sure victory against the Subjugator-class Battleship. Both sides have the ability to kill each other with one blow and this means, on the ever-changing battlefield, it really cannot be generalized.

Of course, if the distance is far enough, the Ragnarov-class Titan Battleship still has a big advantage, so to be precise, the Subjugator-class Battleship should be the Second Strongest Battleship in the Galaxy.

"You have no idea what the Secret Weapon of this Battleship is, hahaha! This is a Secret Weapon that can destroy an entire Fleet!" Count Dooku smiled proudly.

"It's hard for me to imagine what kind of Weapon can destroy a Fleet... Could it be the Technology of the previous Decimator Tank? This is already the most powerful Weapon Mode I can imagine." Tang Xiao said.

Count Dooku laughed loudly, and made another gesture of invitation, "Then, let's go directly to the Malevolence to experience the power of this Battleship! Please rest assured that the Malevolence has already undergone a trial voyage, and all Systems are fully operational. It has been debugged, and there is no safer place in this Galaxy than here."

A Repulsorlift Car drove over, and Count Dooku kindly pulled Tang Xiao into the car, sat down beside him, and said casually, "It would be great if the Angel of Death could be here to witness this great moment..."

Tang Xiao also shook his head with emotion and said, "Unfortunately, every time he takes the initiative to find me, even I don't know how to find him."

From the very beginning, Count Dooku has been observing Tang Xiao's every move, trying to find any clues, but Tang Xiao's performance is impeccable, and he can't see anything unusual.

The Repulsorlift Car drove to the endless Hangar Platform of the Battleship, and then they changed to the Rail Transit inside the Battleship and came to the Bridge.

On the bridge where the surrounding lights were deliberately designed to be red, Tang Xiao also saw the whole picture of the first Subjugator-class Battleship, the Malevolence, from the Holographic Projection in the center.

The General Shape of the Malevolence is indeed quite similar to that of the Providence-class Destroyer, especially the Bridge at the tail of the Battleship that is as tall as the tail fin is almost exactly the same, however, the front end of the Malevolence adopts an upper and lower split design, which looks like a shark with its bloody mouth open.

Another very conspicuous thing is that there is a Huge Disc-Shaped Device on both sides of the Battleship. This Device has a diameter of about 800 to 1,000 meters.

Tang Xiao knew that these two Discs were the Secret Weapon of the Malevolence that could destroy an entire Fleet.

"Count Dooku, the Battleship, Malevolence, is ready and we are ready to go at any time." A Sulluster came over and said respectfully to Count Dooku.

Count Dooku smiled and said to Tang Xiao: "Let me introduce you, this is the Chief Designer of the Subjugator-class Battleship, Ruggle Schmong. It was because of his genius idea and execution ability that the Strongest Battleship was born."
