Chapter 1831: Chapter 1241: Annihilation
For the Trade Federation’s Emperor Nute Gunray, this will be a day he will never forget!
“Everything is already prepared, now it’s up to you, General Grievous!”
Looking at the robotic General in front of him, Nute Gunray’s green face was so excited it was almost turning red!
Finally, the day has come!
As everyone knows, the Tribunal’s first battle was to establish dominance over the Trade Federation, and since that time, Nute Gunray swore to be at odds with the Tribunal. You must know that battle not only brought great losses to the Trade Federation but also humiliated Nute Gunray. If he hadn’t persisted through gritted teeth and paid a significant price later, he wouldn’t be able to be the Emperor!
Can this be tolerated?
The thought of tolerating it is absurd!
Now finally there’s such an opportunity, so Nute Gunray naturally went all out, knowing that General Grievous’s tactics, although quite whimsical, have a considerable chance of success. However, the entire Independent Federation fleet needs to cooperate.
After all, although the Galactic Republic has contracted its defenses, there are still quite a few galaxies. This time, General Grievous wants a full bloom; his plan is actually not difficult to understand. It’s about dispersing the Independent Federation fleet to each galaxy battlefront. If there’s a Tribunal fleet in the galaxy, fight to the death and make sure to engage them. If there isn’t a Tribunal fleet in the galaxy, then directly send troops to invade the planet and start ground warfare.
And after dropping the ground troops, the fleet won’t stay for defense but will continue to advance!
The reason General Grievous does this is simple: those ground troops are not for winning but for taking hostages from the locals. Moreover, since they’re all part of the Droid Army, losses are just losses, it’s not like they’re living people. Losing a group or two is something that can be accepted.
So keeping the warships behind for air defense makes no sense, especially given the Tribunal’s warships are simply too powerful, the chance of winning in a direct confrontation is really almost zero. Under such circumstances, leaving warships is just giving the enemy targets, far better to use this galaxy as a springboard and accelerate toward the next.
In General Grievous’s plan, the best scenario would be to use this springboard tactic to shoot directly to Coruscant!
Of course, this plan has one very crucial part, which is that every fleet must have the strength of the Main Fleet. After all, General Grievous, although a robot, does not have the skill of divination and does not know which galaxy the Tribunal fleet will appear in.
Therefore there’s no way to set bait, hence it must be ensured that each fleet possesses enough firepower to fight their way to Coruscant, maximizing the potency of this tactic!
And naturally, Nute Gunray also put in a great effort for this, deploying the entire Independent Federation’s warships under General Grievous’s command, though other leaders of the Independent Federation felt a bit uneasy, they ultimately nodded in agreement.
After all if they win, that would be once and for all, directly occupying Coruscant and ruling the entire Galactic Republic!
Is this not worth a gamble?
As for losing?
What a joke, losing is impossible, General Grievous’s genius plan made even them awe-struck. Losing is out of the question! Only victory!
“The fate of the Federation rests on this battle, wishing you great martial fortune!”
Looking at General Grievous in front of him, Nute Gunray said excitedly, although the combat plan was indeed proposed by General Grievous, the one who strongly advocated and approved this plan was himself, which means that he too will join General Grievous in forever cementing their achievements in history!
“Yes!”
Facing Nute Gunray’s blessing, General Grievous nodded seriously, then closed the communication. Next, he turned his head, looking ahead — in front of the bridge, General Grievous saw a warship formation almost extending beyond sight, and this is the strength of the Independent Federation!
“Is the destination already locked in?”
“Yes, General, it’s locked on Tatooine! Ready to depart at any time!”
“Very well.”
Upon hearing his subordinate’s answer, General Griffith nodded. As the Commander, he certainly had to go to the most dangerous place. And in General Griffith’s view, the most dangerous battlefield is likely none other than Tatooine, because it very likely is the Tribunal’s base camp!
Therefore, he must personally lead the fleet to fight the Tribunal to death!
General Griffith coughed once, again staring at the star map in front of him. At this moment, all the fleets are ready, just waiting for his command to set out to other galaxies for a battle on all fronts!
Then General Griffith raised his hand and waved forward!
“Depart!”
With General Griffith’s command, the next moment, everyone saw the dots of starlight on the screen in front instantly stretch into strings of light, marking the jump of a fleet. Next, they will use hyperspace jump to head to Tatooine, and then engage in a life-and-death battle with the Tribunal fleet there!
“All warships prepare!”
General Griffith was also tense and serious, constantly issuing orders to other warships, aiming to strike with overwhelming force the moment they reach Tatooine and directly assault the Yellow Dragon!
“Remember, proceed according to the original plan, when we arrive at Tatooine……”
