701. The 18th Army of the Galactic Republic

Planet Eliadu, the outer ring of the Milky Way, the capital of the Cesvenna Star District, and the capital of the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic, the Governor-Wilhoff-Takin.

This planet is the largest trade center in the outer ring star region, and it is connected with a number of hyperspace channels. In addition to the main Haidia channel and the Rimma Trade Route, there is also the Lipsec Run ) and the Yankirk Route and the Nothoiin Corridor pass through here, and the traffic is very convenient.

Under the prosperous trade, Planet Eliadu has developed extremely rapidly, with a population of 22 billion, second only to the planet Christopher Sis with a population of 35 billion in the outer ring star region.

However, unlike the planet of Christopher Sis, which is simply a source of crystals, the planet of Eliadu, which is a trade center, is obviously much more complicated.

Two years after Tang Xiao and the Fourth Civilization first came to this world, in the year of 33BBY, Planet Eliadu became the center of the conflict.

In that year, because the contradictions in the outer ring star region of the Milky Way began to intensify, and in order to solve the contradiction and implement his own taxation bill for the outer ring star region, the then president of the Galactic Council, Finis Valorum The planet convened a business summit, inviting the gigantic corporate giants from all over the galaxy to discuss the tax bill.

But under the conspiracy of Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, the business summit turned into a farce. Darth Sidious secretly contacted Willhoff Tarkin, who was then the Deputy Governor and Minister of Security of the Cesvenna Sector at the time, to plan a robot riot.

In that robot riot, a large number of high-level personnel of corporate giants were injured and killed, and among them, the senior officials of the Trade Union were almost eliminated in one pot, which also made Newt Gunray the winner in the end, serving as the new Governor of the Trade Union, becoming Darth West. Deus' lackey.

And because the top management of the Quat Power Dock also suffered heavy casualties in this riot, Quat threw his anger on the Trade Federation, because those robots were provided by the Trade Federation. This eventually led to the parting of the Quarter Power Dock and the Trade Union, withdrew from the Trade Union, and a few months later, also terminated the agreement with the Techno Union and withdrew from the Techno Union.

As for the levy bill proposed by poor Phoenix-Valloren, it became a joke and was ignored. And in order to take responsibility for the riot at the business summit, Deputy Speaker Botan stepped down, and Phoenix-Valloren lost his last and most important ally.

After this incident, the planet Eliadu seems to have disappeared from the public view, continuing the function of that trade center, but no longer playing a role in the political field.

But in fact, the planet Eliadu is constantly changing.

With Schiff Palpatine becoming the President of the Galactic Council a year after the riots ended, Wilhoff Tarkin's official career has since taken the high-speed passage, and a few years later he was promoted to the Governor of the Cesvenna Sector, and concurrently served as the The post of security minister was also promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Sesvenna sector defense force, and the military and political power were all in one hand.

Because of Palpatine's hints that war would break out sooner or later, Wilhelm Tarkin began to prepare his army very early. He used the business summit riots as an excuse to purge dissidents from the local defense forces in the Cesvenna Sector and increase military spending. Even if the army could not be expanded due to parliamentary policy pressure, he has trained a large number of efficient officers.

After the outbreak of the war, the Cesvenna Sector was integrated into the 18th Army of the Republic, and Wilhoff Tarkin became the Governor of the 18th Army.

Because of his advanced preparations, the 18th Army was not challenged much in the early days of the war, and even repelled the raid of the Confederate fleet of the Independent Galaxy during the Battle of Agoma.

Compared with the 14th Army, which was surrounded by the Technology Alliance and surrounded the headquarters planet Rylos within a few days after the war, and the 19th Army, which was destroyed by the Fourth Civilization in 3 months, the 18th Army under Governor Tarkin even once It is one of the few legions of the Galactic Republic that has the ability to fight back on countless battlefields!

Wilhelm Tarkin implemented a high-pressure military policy in the 18th Army area, forcibly recruited troops from various planets, and refitted factories on industrial planets to serve the expansion of the army. There was a lot of complaints in the country, but Palpatine directly used his relationship in the parliament to suppress all complaints against the 18th Army.

But when everything was going well, reality gave Governor Tarkin a blow to the head.

The industrial world Sullust, adjacent to the 18th Army Headquarters Planet Eliadu, suddenly announced that it had left the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems. At the same time, Southrob, a large arms manufacturer that owns more than half of the shares on the planet Surust, also has an ambiguous attitude and has always refused to make a statement.

The sudden betrayal of the planet Surust made the planet Eliadu lose its barrier and an important industrial base in an instant, and made the planet Eliadu directly face the semi-encirclement state of the Confederate forces of the independent galaxy.

The Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic and the Jedi Order sent a mobile fleet, led by the Jedi Knight Rees Alrix, to assist in the attack on the planet Surust, but was met with stubborn resistance and progress was slow.

Under this circumstance of being surrounded by enemies on three sides, Wilhelm Tarkin still relied on his terrifying and harsh policies to resist stubbornly to this day.

But the blows followed. The 19th Army of the Republic launched two consecutive offensives on the planet Besping, which eventually ruined its superior mobile fleet. More than 100 Chaser-class battlecruisers were destroyed, and the 18th Army of the Republic began to face the fourth The most direct threat to civilization~www.mtlnovel.com~ At this time, Schiff-Palpatine also directly ordered him to destroy the dawn planet. This command completely ignored the strategic plan and made Governor Tarkin extremely angry.

Because the most realistic goal of the 18th Army should be to first protect the planet Eliadu under the presence of strong enemies, and then start from the industrial world Surust planet to open up the situation, and then talk about the counter-offensive after having a solid strategic rear. , instead of running thousands of miles to attack a Dawn planet that just killed the 19th Army and was in high spirits!

You must know that the 19th Army had 110 Chaser-class battlecruisers at its peak, which was more than double that of the 18th Army!

Therefore, Governor Tarkin directly told Palpatine that if he wanted to attack the dawn planet, he could give me 500 Chaser-class battlecruisers, and Palpatine turned off the communication without saying a word.

[Attachment 1 of the Easter Egg Chapter: The administrative headquarters of the planet Eliadu, because it is a picture in the comics, it is very simple. But it can be seen that this is basically a fully armed fortress.
