The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 1372 Tarkin and Anakin

1372 Tarkin and Anakin

The capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant, barracks area.

"I'm sorry, Rex. I didn't expect things to turn out like this..." Anakin Skywalker sighed, "But, judging from the current situation, you really can't go to the battlefield anymore .”

He looked at the several clone soldiers standing in front of him, all of them were his good partners, good comrades in arms... 501st Legion, Torrent Company.

Rex, Echo, Longbow, Burden, Fox, Hertz, Peel...

These people followed him from birth to death, fought bravely on countless battlefields, liberated dozens of planets, and wiped out countless battle robots.

But now, they are finally facing separation——

On the battlefield of Semiles, the Separatists used genetic weapons. The evil consequences of the Kamino planet being raided by the separatists before were finally fully revealed.

In front of this genetic weapon, the clone army has no room to resist, and will be completely decomposed into a puddle of mud in an instant from the genetic level.

The emergence of genetic weapons means that this group of clone soldiers has completely lost their use value, and it is impossible for them to go on the battlefield again.

From the perspective of the Galactic Republic, it is not even worth giving them a pistol. Because even if a pistol is given to a child, there is a chance of two shots, but if they are given to these clones, they may not even have a chance to go to the front line.

Rex shook his head and said: "General Skywalker, even if we die, we are still your soldiers! Have you forgotten what we have experienced together? Now, we only want to die on the battlefield, and you Together."

Anakin-Skywalker shook his head and said: "I also hope to continue to shed blood on the battlefield with you, countless times...whether it is victory or failure, we will face it together. But...but this time...according to Semiles According to the combat report from the planet, this genetic weapon can kill all clone soldiers in a wide area, you...maybe you will die on the way."

"As soldiers, shouldn't we die on the battlefield?" Echo said, "We can wear the military uniforms of natural soldiers and mix in the middle, and the Separatists won't notice it. And it's impossible for them to use genetic weapons for a little bit of situation !"

Anakin-Skywalker still said firmly: "This is impossible, Echo, Rex. The Supreme Strategic Command has arranged for you to retire, and it will be in a peaceful and peaceful agricultural planet. Simple Farming and reclamation alone, enjoying a peaceful life.”

"You should know that it is impossible for us to accept such a life, please give us a chance, General Skywalker." Rex begged.

"At this point, I would rather see you alive than die humiliatingly under the genetic weapon," Anakin said.

"It's a shame for us to be alive!" Peel said loudly, "Don't forget, the revenge of 'Number Five' has not been avenged! We watched him being taken away by the separatists!"

Anakin Skywalker also made up his mind. He said in a deep voice, "I let you stay! This is an order! It is my... final order."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without giving Rex and the others a chance to refute, and boarded a LAAT/I assault transport boat full of natural soldiers in gray uniforms.

The mocking voices of the natural soldiers came from all around, "Look, aren't those bereaved dogs cloned?"

"Hahahaha, I used to look down on us with arrogance, but now I look at it, garbage is garbage!"

"Isn't it? They can't even be considered human... Hehehehe."

"Shut up!!!" These voices naturally couldn't be hidden from Anakin, he was already bored, and hearing these gossip made him burst into anger.

The sound waves carrying the original force spread, and those people within tens of meters around covered their heads in pain. A LAAT/I assault transport boat that had just taken off also fell crookedly and crashed into a pile of cargo next to it.

But the determined clone soldiers were unmoved. They still stood there firmly, looking at Anakin with expectant eyes.

Anakin didn't pay attention to those natural soldiers at all. He just stood at the door of the transport boat cabin and gave a firm military salute to Rex and the others.

He is a Jedi Knight, and his status in the army is equivalent to that of a general. Originally, he never needed to give a military salute, but now, he thinks that this is the only way to express his respect for these bravest and best comrades-in-arms.

Under the control of the pilot who managed to relieve God, the transport boat took off crookedly and flew towards the outer space.

Rex and the others stood in place without speaking for a long time.

At this time, Echo suddenly broke the silence, "I respect every soldier who shed their blood for the Republic, but these pampered and pampered uncles don't know how to respect at all? Hehe..."

"You have the most ideas among us, do you have any plans?" Rex asked.

"There is no need for a plan at all." Echo sneered: "Just these old soldiers, if we really want to do something, can they stop it?"

Rex looked at a few natural soldiers who were still grunting on the ground and couldn't get up, and nodded.

...

The LAAT/I assault transport ship flew out of Coruscant's atmosphere. In outer space, dozens of warships were cruising and patrolling here. These were all warships of the Coruscant Defense Fleet. In fact, in the military establishment of the entire Galactic Republic, the most powerful fleet is none other than this fleet that has been stationed in Coruscant for a long time and has never been dispatched——

Coruscant Defense Fleet!

The strength of this fleet is at least twice that of the main fleets of other legions!

Anakin-Skywalker looked out the window at these battleships whose outer armor was spray-painted in red and white patterns, but his mood kept sinking, and almost his whole body became gloomy.

The LAAT/I assault transport boat can only fly in low-earth orbit, but it doesn't need to fly too far, because the destination is not far away-a fleet suspended alone in an airspace. It's just that although this fleet is huge, most of them are transport ships, and there are only a few 5 hunter-class battlecruisers.

And, a huge Archon-class Star Destroyer!

With a length of 1,600 meters, the Star Destroyer stands out from the crowd among the Jaeger-class formations. The triangular wedge-shaped hull and towering bridge give this warship a cold aesthetic full of industrial atmosphere.

After approaching the battleship, the three sets of main gun arrays arranged on the upper deck of the battleship also showed the terrifying firepower of this battleship!

Three arrays, each equipped with 20 dual-mounted heavy-duty turbolaser cannons!

This is the Praetorian class! The new pride of the Galactic Republic Navy! (That's right, the future Imperial class.)

Looking at this battleship, Anakin Skywalker's gaze became even colder, because this battleship should not have appeared here, and should not have appeared in the Republic Navy sequence.

The Consul-class Star Destroyer has not yet been fully put into production and entered the active service of the Republic Navy. Now that the Republic Navy still has a large number of Jaeger-class battlecruisers in service, the Supreme Strategic Command has ordered more Knight-class Star Destroyers .

Because the Knight class without a hangar and the Hunter class with a large number of carrier-based aircraft are just a perfect match. And as a Consul-class Star Destroyer that is almost in the same series as the Knight-class, there are currently no large-scale constructions. Lila Blissex, chief warship design engineer of Kuat Power Dockyard, is constantly summarizing and collecting actual combat data of the Knight class to improve the design of the Archon class, so as to make the future main battleship of the Galactic Republic more perfect. .

At this time, there are only a handful of people who can use the few prototype ships built by the Kuat Power Shipyard as their flagships in the superstructure of the entire Galactic Republic.

The line of large characters sprayed on the bridge of the Star Destroyer in front of him also directly indicated the identity of this person—Tarkin's will! This is Willhuff Tarkin's flagship!

Anakin-Skywalker hated Willhuff-Tarkin, not only hated, but also with contempt. Because he believes that people like Tarkin have only grown up by flattery, forming cliques, and gaining fame along the way. But such a guy enjoys the largest supply of resources in the Galactic Republic and has become one of the most powerful people in the Republic.

Compared with Wilhuff Tarkin, who has a bad record on his resume, it is obvious that a general like Woolf Ularen, who has worked hard step by step on the battlefield, is more worthy of Anakin Skywalker admiration.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, in fact Anakin was hostile to Tarkin, and there was another meaning, that Tarkin was also a celebrity under Speaker Palpatine. Moreover, Palpatine praised Tarkin more than once in front of Anakin. He believed that Tarkin's ideas were the most suitable and advanced in this galaxy. He even paid for the best writers to compile Tarkin's thoughts into a book - "Tarkinism", which was widely published.

This made Anakin feel that Speaker Palpatine seemed far away from him, making him very upset whenever he thought of this matter.

But this time, Anakin Skywalker had to cooperate with Willhuff Tarkin to jointly launch the most important military operation for the Galactic Republic at this stage-the Raiders of Onderon Planet!

Plan, Fist of Tarkin!

The assault transport ship slowly flew in from the square hangar entrance at the bottom of the Archon-class Star Destroyer, and docked on the wide platform. On the other side, thousands of soldiers have already formed a neat square formation and are gathering on the platform for roll call.

Everything in the spaceship is going on in an orderly manner, everyone is working precisely like a screw, so that no one talks about Anakin Skywalker at all. As a Jedi Knight in this battle, his status should be equal to that of an admiral, but there is not even a single person who came to greet him and lead the way.

There was an air of contempt in everything.

Anakin-Skywalker is in a very bad mood right now...

There have been too many things that have depressed him lately, the Rebels on Onderon, the death of Mina Bontry, the resurrection of his mother, the conspiracy of the Dead Angel, and then the clone troopers retiring from active duty, and now, Wei Erhoff Tarkin...

With such a mood, Anakin Skywalker gradually quickened his pace, walking vigorously, with cold eyes. A group of soldiers was carrying goods, and some of them blocked his way, so he directly raised his hand and pushed him to the foot of the wall with a wave of force, and then he strode past those staggering soldiers without looking sideways.

When I came directly to the bridge of the battleship, I saw the thin middle-aged man in military uniform, who was a little bald but still without a military cap, standing in the middle of the bridge without saying a word.

Will Huff Tarkin.

He must have known about the arrival of Anakin Skywalker during the monitoring, but he was not even interested in turning around to say hello. He just stood in the middle of the bridge, and it was even hard to tell if he was really waiting for Anakin Skywalker. Nagin was still thinking about other things.

Anakin Skywalker was naturally not interested in talking to him, so he walked directly to Wilhuff Tarkin, stood shoulder to shoulder with him in the same position, and said without looking sideways: "This battle Plan, the resources you have invested can already launch attacks in at least five other directions, Mr. Acting Governor."

He bit the word agent very hard.

"I never underestimate any opponent, young Jedi." Willhuff-Tarkin said coldly, "What I need is not just a victory, but also a shock! Only in this way can despair Bring the separatists and tell them that if you fight against us, you will die! There is no room for escape!"

He glanced sideways at Anakin, "Whether it's on the planet Jabim or the planet Christophsis, you should be able to understand that if you just put in the so-called 'just right' troops, then it's very easy." Failed, no? That should be a lot of experience for you."

Facing Tarkin's ridicule, Anakin's eyes turned cold, his powerful force vibrated in the surrounding air, "I hope you and your soldiers can really realize your battle plan, instead of fighting with Egypt Like the Riadu galaxy, it was buried in the cold space."

Wilhuff Tarkin sneered, facing the mighty Anakin, he took a step back and did not continue to confront each other, "Let's divide the work and cooperate, I will handle the fleet affairs well, and you, you'd better make sure These soldiers can really bring us victory. After all, none of us want to lose, right?"

"This is the best." Anakin finished, turned and prepared to leave.

However, at the moment of turning around, the original force suddenly sensed it! He stopped abruptly, watching behind him vigilantly.

"By the way, since you're all here, don't you say hello to your companions?" Wilhuff Tarkin's voice sounded behind him.

Anakin's face changed, and he turned around suddenly!

There was a silver bell-like laughter, and there were only two figures, one red and one blue, in sight!
