Starship Infantry Chapter 229 Trick Battle! Planet Gotha (Part I)
Robin decided to go and return without notifying Viscount Cremont, the ruler of the planet Gotha. Of course, if the Gotha planet had access restrictions as strict as Brady's, Robin would not have been allowed to enter the planet's atmosphere without the permission of the ruler of the galaxy. However, due to its unique harsh environment, the planet's scientific and technological level is in a very backward stage, and outside the planet's atmosphere, only a few artificial satellites are orbiting the planet, which can play a better role in monitoring space than nothing. In Robin's view, as long as he visited the planet Gotha once beforehand, he could calculate the orbits of these observation satellites, and accurately calculate the surveillance blind spots of the satellites. Entering the planet without knowing it was a difficult task for Robin.
What Robin can do, mutants can do too. Because of this, the planet Gotha is the region with the worst outbreak of mutant rebellion, where green civilians are killed by mutant attacks almost every day. And the many purges initiated by Viscount Cremont have not had a very good effect, and the mutants are like becoming a stubborn disease parasitic on the planet Gotha, which makes Viscount Cremont miserable.
Of course, if Viscount Cremont is willing to build a complete space defense system, he may be able to improve this problem slowly. However, the fact is that the high-intensity ultraviolet rays emitted by the star Michel are so destructive that the damage to the electronic system can make a brand new satellite scrapped in just a few weeks due to damage to the electrical system, and it is difficult to extend the service life of even an artificial satellite with the best thermal insulation system. As for the establishment of facilities such as the orbital ring of outer space and the space station, it is even more impossible, and for Viscount Cremont, who has to pay for the livelihood of the entire green race on his own, such a large project is enough to cost him his family.
Due to the existence of the above reasons, the planet Gotha has become a post-huā garden for mutants, who can drive the space edge in and out of this planet at will, and at the same time move a large number of people here, they have even begun to build a base camp for mutants here, intending to really occupy this place and completely drive Viscount Cremont and his fellow greens out of this galaxy.
The arrogant mutant rebels had officially issued an ultimatum to Viscount Cremont a few weeks earlier, demanding that Viscount Cremont leave the system immediately with the greens. Otherwise, the mutant rebels will commit genocide against the greens living on this planet, completely eradicating the greens as a race.
In this regard, the irascible Viscount Cremont was naturally furious and vowed to fight the mutant rebels to the end. But the truth is that he has no effective means for the mutant rebels at all, and of course, this is not to say that Viscount Cremont's army is not as effective as the mutant rebels.
In terms of military combat effectiveness alone, Viscount Cremont, who has a foothold in the empire with martial arts, is definitely a fierce soldier, and the Knights of the Heavy Hammer under his command can be called the strongest army under the command of the Marquis of Timos. However, the backward technology of the planet Gotha has rendered the powerful combat power of the Knights of the Hammer useless, and Viscount Cremont cannot find out where the main force of the mutant rebels is. The mutant rebels, on the other hand, relied on their leading information technology to constantly harass themselves in a fragmented guerrilla warfare, avoiding the main force of Viscount Cremont while slaughtering the green civilians living on the planet Gotha in an extremely brutal way.
It's been months since the mutant rebellion broke out. During this time, countless green civilians were killed as a result of the sāo rebellion. As a result, large numbers of green civilians were forced to confine themselves to well-defended protected areas, unable to work in the mines where Mycenaean metal could be mined, and relying on the handouts of Viscount Cremont like idle victims.
The suspension of production in the mining area and the daily needs of tens of millions of green civilians are like a thousand pounds of burden, which makes the already weak economic strength of Viscount Cremont even more overwhelmed.
Because of his unusual skin and the tyrannical character that the green race is known for, Viscount Cremont has no support from the academic community, and he is the only middle-class nobleman in the empire who does not have a single technology patent under his umbrella. And the lack of technology patents means that he only spends on technology and has no income. In addition, when it comes to the sale of replicants, the main source of income for the nobles of the empire, Viscount Cremont also seems to be weak. Although the price of his replicants is extremely low, far superior to that of other nobles' replicants in terms of price ratio, few of those new nobles are willing to have green monsters in their troops, and only when the real economic situation is in dire straits, they will choose Viscount Cremont's replicants as an emergency.
Thus, compared to the large profits made by other nobles in the area of replicants, Viscount Cremont's income in this area was not even enough to meet the consumption of his army.
Due to these objective reasons, the mining and smelting of Mycenaean metal became the backbone of Viscount Cremont's economy. It was thanks to the planet Gotha's staggering reserves of Mycenaean metal and the highly exploitable mines of Lù that Viscount Cremont was able to sustain the livelihood of tens of millions of green people.
But now, a large-scale mutant rebellion has completely destroyed this industrial chain, and Viscount East Remant has completely lost one of the economic pillars he relies on the most.
As the mutant rebels said in their ultimatum, if Viscount Cremont is unable to effectively solve this problem, then evacuating the planet of Gotha and giving up his noble lordship will become his only option, which will definitely make him a joke in the mouths of the nobles, and even the reputation of the Marquis of Timos will be seriously affected by this.
On the way back to the planet Gotha, Robin, along with Xia Zor and Anse Elle, analyzed in detail the importance of the planet Gotha in the whole event. In his opinion, the mutant rebels chose the planet Gotha as their main target, which was a very smart choice. The weak space defenses here and the natural disadvantage of Viscount Cremont can maximize their advantage in maneuvering. If things go well, they won't even have to go head-to-head with Viscount Cremont's Hammer Knights to drive Viscount Cremont and the greens out of the system once and for all. And the huge reserves of Mycenae metal on this planet will also belong to them, relying on these huge riches hidden in the earth's crust, this mutant rebel army even has the opportunity to establish a kingdom of its own.
And as the driving force behind this series of events, Earl Huggins will also benefit from this incident. After all, Viscount Cremont is in control of one of the most effective armies under the command of the Marquis of Timos, and if the Knights of the Heavy Hammer of Viscount Cremont are completely weakened, then the Marquis of Timos will definitely not be able to achieve enough feats in large-scale battles. Moreover, as the number one general under his command, he could not even keep his noble domain, which would have a great impact on the reputation of the Marquis of Timos, and Robin could almost already foresee the scene of rebellion and disappearance that the Marquis of Timos would face after the real incident.
Of course, it is precisely because of the important xìng produced by the planet Gotha to mutants that this is also the best breakthrough for Robin. In his opinion, as long as the mutant rebellion on the planet Gotha is completely resolved, it is equivalent to the complete disintegration of the main backbone of the mutants that caused the sāo rebellion, and his agreement with Timos is half completed. As for the mutant sāo chaos in other galaxies, it will also become a matter of course to solve it.
"So, how do we find those mutant rebels?" After listening to Robin's analysis, Xia Zuo couldn't help but let out a contemplative expression: "According to Viscount Cremont, although those mutants attacked the green people who went to work in the mines...
