Chapter 71
"Because of that rule?" Sune asked.
"yes, yes." Yan Kou nodded, "It's not as chaotic as it used to be, the Federation has issued regulations for flying ships. If anyone dares to open fire without asking the reason, they may be stabbed and their navigation license will be confiscated. ”
Sune thought for a moment and asked, "But, isn't it a good thing to regulate driving behavior?" ”
Yan Kou smiled: "I didn't say it was a bad thing. Xiao Su, everything must be seen from both sides, the introduction of the driving regulations is indeed more beneficial than disadvantageous, but because the regulations are too strict, some places seem rigid. But it can't be helped, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. ”
"What then?" Sune asked.
"Hey." Yan Kou laughed again, "It depends on how brave the captain is. ”
"Those who are less courageous will naturally sail in accordance with the regulations step by step, that is, they will not succeed. Dare to be bold, just like the commander-in-chief of this voyage, although his temper is not very good, but also because of his character, he dares to fire directly without following the regulations......"
"He's not worried that someone will accuse him afterwards?" Sune wondered.
"Do you think that kind of person would care?" Yan Kou shrugged and continued to adjust the weapon's crosshair according to the number of light brains.
Sune sat in his seat, and although his conversation with Yan Kou was over, his mind was still about the analysis of what had just happened.
That captain really doesn't care if someone else will accuse? Sune was skeptical about this, and although there were a few limited exchanges between the Guò Raven and the flagship Lucky, Sune could feel that the commander-in-chief's emotional intelligence was not very high this time. But even so, this person will rely on it to dare to do this.
He has little experience in space, and it will be difficult to judge the unexpected situations that arise during the voyage. So if he were the captain of the ship, he would have made a conservative decision. However, the commander-in-chief of the fleet this time, Revich, is a captain who has been on escort missions all year round, and he made the judgment of a direct attack, which must be that he has some evidence that can prove that the other party is an interstellar pirate. That way, even if someone pokes out about it afterwards, because it was an interstellar pirate who was attacked, Levich would not be punished too much.
Sune guessed, but the actual situation was not as complicated as he thought. The commander-in-chief of the fleet this time, Revich, really has no evidence. It was with his years of sailing experience that he decided that the strange fleet was an interstellar pirate. This man was a very conceited person, convinced of his feelings, and then decisively gave the order to attack at the first opportunity.
As for the consequences, as Yan Kou said, this person doesn't care at all!
As a boss, Levich is the kind of person who will make his subordinates fear and hate, and his temper of treating people as inappropriate people is not something that ordinary people can bear. However, as a captain, he is very capable. His judgment this time was very correct, and there was indeed a group of interstellar pirates on the other side who were premeditated to rob them. Attacking directly without sending a warning also gave their fleet a first-mover advantage.
Therefore, although the strength is comparable, the other party is a pirate and has not been dragged down, and the fleet of the whole company led by the Lucky is also on par with the other party, and even faintly occupies an advantage on the battlefield. That's why the Raven can be so idle.
In the Lucky, Captain Revich sat in the command seat, and he asked the lieutenant to bring him another cup of black tea. Now I'm leaning back in my chair, drinking tea and watching the screen.
The battle is under his control, and it is estimated that it will be over in a short time. Star pirates are pirates after all, and they generally bully the weak and fear the hard, and will not fight hard with their opponents. Seeing that they are not easy to handle, they should retreat soon.
Thinking of this, Levich felt a rare burst of joy in his heart.
These king-eight-eggs are going to consume ammo again in vain, and then go home empty-handed!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the pirate fleet to show signs of retreat.
Suddenly, a voice shouted. He was a weapons controller on the Lucky.
"It's hit! Hit the flagship! I actually hit the flagship!! ”
The irascible Levich didn't lose his temper at this reckless voice, his eyes were glued to the screen. Because the movement of standing up was so violent, even the black tea in the tray was knocked over by him.
But Levich didn't have time to pay attention to this, he looked at the point on the screen that was shining brightly because of the explosion, and shouted: "Pursuit!" ”
……
This is something that no one expected.
When the space pirates retreated, because they were not well coordinated, a gap was revealed in the originally tight formation. And this gap just exposed their flagship.
On the fleet of the Wei'an Company, as long as there are weapons controllers with a certain degree of military literacy, they will not let go of this opportunity. Even if there must be a protective shield on the opponent's flagship, which cannot be broken in a short time, it can also cause chaos to the retreating fleet of the opponent.
The weapons controller on the Lucky also followed the tide and fired a wave of missiles at the pirate's flagship.
Something surprising happened.
Radar tracking showed that the wave of missiles not only hit the protective shield of the pirate flagship, but also broke the protective shield in one fell swoop. The remaining missiles were not blocked by the protective shield, and directly drilled into the opponent's flagship, and the flagship, after a moment of silence, exploded from the inside, directly blowing up the spacecraft into two sections.
What's going on?
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
Could it be that the wave of missiles hit the critical point of the pirate flagship's shield, and then burrowed into the ship, and just happened to blow up their ammunition depot?
It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?!
But as it turned out, it was such a coincidence.
The flagships of the interstellar pirates were suddenly destroyed, and the ships that were retreating in an orderly manner were immediately thrown into disarray. Because there was no command and dispatch, the pirates who were in a hurry to escape became headless flies, and some even bumped into each other!
Why don't you take the opportunity to beat the water dogs at this time?!
The commander-in-chief of the fleet of the Vivian Company, Revich, with red eyes, immediately ordered: All the warships follow and destroy all those pirate mongreds!
The agitated Levich didn't notice that after his order was given, the command room was silent for a moment. All the personnel looked at each other and then went back to their respective work.
Some of them looked hesitant, but they didn't say anything, and still carried out Levich's orders.
The staff on the Lucky have always been very knowledgeable, but there are always some annoying things that don't know the times.
When Levich saw the communication request from the Raven on the screen, his face darkened unsurprisingly.
But because the Raven was given the right to communicate directly, it can't break its promise now.
Revich answered the communication impatiently: "What's the matter, say!" ”
Shang Si: "Report, subordinates think that it should not be chased, and it is ......"
Levich hates people going against him the most, and he's not interested in listening to a kid who hasn't grown up all the time.
"It's an order!" Spit out four words, and Levich hung up the communication directly.
Shangsi: ......
Faced with a blackened screen, Shang Si gave up on applying for the newsletter again.
No matter what he says, he probably won't be listened to.
"What, you were hung up again?" I don't know when, Xiao Yi came over.
Shang Si nodded.
Xiao Yi held a cup of coffee in his hand.
Shang Si took a look: Doesn't this person like to drink coffee?
"Don't look at it, here you go." Xiao Yi handed over the cup, "Are you tired?" ”
Shang Si took it and took a sip, the rich bitterness permeating the base of his tongue.
He didn't know how to answer......
To say tired, this battle Raven is almost a soy sauce fighter, and he didn't do anything at all. But if he was not tired, he felt very tired.
Although Shang Si didn't speak, Xiao Yi could feel his affection.
Xiao Yi reached out and patted Shang Si's shoulder: "I'm tired, isn't it?" ”
Shang Si nodded imperceptibly.
Xiao Yi smiled: "It's quite tiring to encounter such a situation." ”
"Senior...... Have you ever been in such a situation? Shang Si lowered his gaze to the coffee cup in his hand, and the liquid inside fluctuated slightly.
"Of course." Facing Shang Si's question, Xiao Yi replied very calmly, "There are more stubborn superiors in the army. ”
Shang Si turned his head sideways and looked at Xiao Yi with an inquiring gaze.
"In this case, if it's okay in the rear, there will always be time to deal with him." Xiao Yi said calmly. "If you ...... on the front line"
"It's hard to do......"
It is an absolute principle for the lower ranks in the army to obey their superiors. Moreover, on the frontline battlefield, it is difficult for a single person, or even a single ship, to disobey the orders of their superiors.
If you retreat when ordered to charge, you will be court-martialed, even if you will not be immediately bombarded as a deserter; If you are ordered to retreat and you have to charge...... Do you want to take on a group of enemies alone?
Let's take the current situation as an example, they obviously feel that pursuit is not a good choice, not to mention that this may be a trap for the enemy to lure the enemy (after all, hitting the flagship is too coincidental), that is, to pursue, what about the cargo merchant ships in the rear? Their speed is not comparable to that of a battleship!
But helplessly, no matter what you say, it will be in vain if the superiors don't listen. They were even worse this time, and the other party didn't even let them finish.
The Raven's speed was among the best among the fleet's ships as the fleet advanced through the pandemic, but it had to slow down due to its ability to follow the cargo merchant ships.
The battleships with the Lucky as the lead team moved too fast, and there was a large distance between them and the ships behind.
In this way, the whole fleet was divided into two sections, front and back, with huge gaps.
Levich, as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, of course, also found out about this.
The speed of the cargo ships is really slower than that of the warships, and if they take these cargo ships with them, they will not be able to catch up with the fleeing pirate fleet in front of them.
But just let the pirate fleet run away in vain, and Levich was not to be outdone.
This was a hard-won opportunity, how could he let those bastards who killed so many of his brothers escape in front of him!
So Revich made a decision: to leave the cargo merchant ship waiting in place, and he took the Vian warship to pursue the fleeing pirates.
Of course, he also considered that those businessmen who were greedy for life and afraid of death would disagree. He'll leave them protected, wouldn't that very eye-catching Raven be a good fit?
If the merchants were going to protest......
Then let them protest and go!
Anyway, with the speed of their cargo ship, they can't catch up with him!
The author has something to say: Ahhhh So happy!
