Chapter 496: Soldiers
The only one of the three who is okay for the time being is Sean, but at this time he is half lying in a flat chair resting, in addition to Abu in the previous battle, Sean is the most difficult one, as a fire controller, his responsibility is not easier than Abu, after extreme tension and relaxation, Sean only feels that his whole body is tired and tired.
"Haven't been in touch yet?" Although it is half-lying, Sean does not dare to sleep, you must know that now the 010 ship has become a "space coffin" and has lost all power, they use the curvature to get out of the battlefield, but this airspace is not too far from the area of engagement, in case it happens to run into the rest of the opponent's devil warship, Sean, as a fire controller, must enter the combat state in the shortest possible time.
Of course, if there is another engagement, the result of the 010 ship is conceivable, but even so, as a soldier and fire controller, Sean still does not dare to relax.
"Where is it so easy, you also know that our communication equipment is not as powerful as a regular warship, and now the rest of the ships know where they have gone." Raul said in the middle of contact, glancing at Abu, who was busy, and lowered his voice: "I said, where are you so tired?" Look at the Commander's ....... ”
Before Raul could finish speaking, Sean interrupted him: "Of course it's different, otherwise how could he be the commander?" You think it's easy to manipulate the fire control? Why don't we change it next time? ”
Raul immediately rolled his eyes and said nothing, turned his head to continue the contact, as for Sean humming a little tune that no one could understand, leisurely half lying in his chair, he looked like he had just come down from the battlefield, but like he was on vacation in a beautiful place.
Sean and Raul's conversation Abu listened to it, but he didn't say anything, as a commander, he must not blindly force his subordinates with majesty. Especially special subordinates like Sean and Raul. What's more, now that they are in a terrible situation, it is unknown whether they will survive or not, and the most important thing is to relax in the calm after the battle and face the test of life and death.
Abu continued to organize his data, not only sorting and sorting all the information recorded by the brain system. He also wrote down some of his insights and judgments in the process of direct engagement with the devil warship. These are the most precious things for the rest of the Andromeda Galaxy, including the entire project, and Abu is confident that whether they can return or not, this information will eventually work.
It took a full ten hours to sort out the data, and by the time it was done, Raul still hadn't been able to contact the rest of the ships. Abu is not in a hurry, he has expected this situation, at least now there are supplies on the 010 ship. Abu asked Sean to redo the statistics and determine the distribution of materials, and if they saved a little and used it, they would probably be able to survive for about a month and a half.
However, this is just ordinary and ordinary materials, and there is not so much oxygen for the most important thing, even if you add the oxygen reserves of the spacesuit, they will consume about a month at most. That is, if the return time is removed. If they are not rescued during this time, then the three Abu will suffocate to death.
As a military man. Whether it's Abu or Sean and Raul, their spirits are strong and they are equally resilient. In the following days, they did not interrupt the contact call, sending distress signals towards the dark universe, but one day, two days, three days passed...... Until the nineteenth day passed, there was still no reply to their contact. Of the three, except for Abu, who remained calm, Sean and Raul were a little irritable.
At this time, Abu, as the commander and captain of the ship, constantly cheered them up, and used all special ways to arouse their desire and confidence in survival, and it was Abu who did this. Sean and Raul recovered their minds and continued to wait patiently for their own rescue.
Soon, another three days had passed, and today it was already twenty-two days, and if their oxygen reserves had not been rescued, they would almost not be able to support it.
"You say, if we die and the body is found later, will it bury us in a heroic way?" Sean suddenly asked in boredom, he had never said something like this before, but with the torment of these days, I don't know when he would always ask such inexplicable questions.
"I will, you won't." Raul replied very seriously, but behind his modest expression there was a deep worry and fear of death. As soldiers, facing death is a long time ago prepared for all soldiers, but compared to death on the battlefield, the face they are suffering now is extremely torturous. Even an optimistic person like Raul will inevitably think of these at this time.
"Why?" Raul's answer aroused Sean's interest, and he asked very dissatisfied: "I have the same rank as you, as a member of the 010 ship, why would you not me?" ”
"It's simple, because I'm going to try to stay alive, try to die behind you, and then stuff your body into a spacesuit and send it into space. Do you think that the whole universe will be your graveyard, and this burial doesn't have to be done any other way? Raul replied solemnly, but his joke didn't sound funny at all, and just as Sean was about to argue with him a little angrily, the communication device suddenly came with a beep beep.
The voice was very clear in the 010 ship, not only Raul and Sean heard it, but even Abu, who was sitting not far away, heard it, and when they heard the voice, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the communication equipment at the same time.
The first reaction was Raul, who immediately connected the communication as a communicator, and he contacted the communicator through a holographic helmet, and soon showed an ecstatic smile.
"We are saved! We are saved! ”
Taking off the holographic helmet, Raul couldn't help but be excited, what could be more happy than that they could be lucky to survive before facing the threat of death?
Raul told Abu that a high-speed warship had already determined their location and would not be long in coming. In other words, in a maximum of ten hours, their drift in the universe will end, and they will return home safely.
"Haha! Hahaha! Raul, this is the best and most wonderful news I've ever heard. Sean laughed heartily, and his previous concerns vanished. He even couldn't wait to talk to Raul about having to enjoy himself when he returned to Space City, and then completely relax himself.
Compared with the two subordinates who were excited, Abu was also happy in his heart, but there was a doubt in the smile on his face, and when the discussion between Raul and Sean was over, Abu said something to them. And they must be made to do the Word.
"Why is that?" Raul's eyes widened in disberups, and even Sean thought it was incredible.
"Quite simply, it's a good thing for us to be rescued, but I don't want you to go court-martial with me." Abu said lightly, as if telling a trivial matter.
"Court-martial?" Raul and Sean looked at each other, they suddenly remembered the previous battle with the devil warship, according to the tactical plan, as the commander, Abu did not obey the tactical orders he gave him, but took a great risk with the entire crew of the 010 ship.
What's more. Abu refused the support of the other ships, resulting in the engine damage of the 010 ship, and it was almost destroyed by the devil warship, until in the end, the 010 ship directly dropped a small dark matter bomb ...... regardless of the safety of its allies. These actions may be excusable from the battlefield situation, but from the perspective of the entire mission, Abu, as the commander, including everyone on the 010 ship, violated military regulations. As a soldier, such a nature is extremely serious, after returning to Space City. Going to court martial is a result beyond doubt.
And now, Abu asks Raul and Sean to take them all out when they report what happened, just say that everything is Abu's fault alone, and that as subordinates, they are just following orders. In this way, Raul and Sean can get away with it, but for Abu. The fault on him is even greater.
"No, it's absolutely not going to work!"
"Yes, the 010 ship is a whole, and I don't think you've done anything wrong, Commander."
Raul and Sean both refuse Abu's request, refusing to follow his arrangement and shirk responsibility. In their opinion. As a comrade-in-arms, as a member of the 010 ship, how can you put all the responsibility on the commander?
"Obey orders!" Abu turned his face and said very seriously: "Do you want all the people of the 010 ship to go to court-martial?" What's the point? Speaking of this, Abu slowed down a little and persuaded: "Don't worry, I am the commander, and I already have the right to deal with it on the spot, even if I go to the military court, the result of ineffective command at most, the punishment for me will not be too serious, but you are different, I don't want you to be involved in this matter, but I can deal with it alone, but if it is three people, then I will ......." ”
"Commander, what you said is true?" Sean looked at Abu's face hesitantly, as did Raul.
"Of course! You just have to obey orders, all right, that's it! Abu said sternly in an unquestioning tone, and Abu was relieved to see that Raul and Sean stopped saying anything for a while, as if they were persuaded by him.
In fact, Abu's words were to comfort the two of them, because he knew that if he didn't say that, their personalities would not agree. And the real situation, Abu's fault is very great, especially as the commander of the entire squad, what he has done is completely unsuitable for this position in the eyes of his superiors, and the military court's treatment of him must be very serious, and the deprivation of military rank is also certain, and if he doesn't get it right, he will go to prison. But for these, Abu has been mentally prepared, his eyes glanced at his intelligent terminal, at least these things stored in it can be handed over to the hands of his superiors, and it will also play a greater role in future battles.
The high-speed battleship came quickly, and after ten hours, the high-speed battleship that had broken away from the curvature state appeared not far from them, and after the necessary confirmation and approach, the high-speed battleship recovered the 010 ship, and when the 010 ship was steadily incorporated into the engine room by the recovery robotic arm of the high-speed battleship, Abu They were finally completely rescued.
Straightening up their uniforms, Abu walked out of the 010 ship with Raul and Sean, and when they stepped out of the hatch, a lieutenant colonel officer was already waiting for them outside. Behind the officer stood several soldiers, dressed differently from ordinary soldiers, whom Abu recognized at a glance as the military police of the fleet.
"Commander of the Special Destroyer Squad, Captain of the 010 Ship, Major Abu!"
"Lieutenant Commander of the 2017 High-Speed Battleship******!"
Abu and ****** saluted each other, and when Abu put down his saluting hand, ****** also put his hand down, but he took the initiative to shake Abu's hand: "Major, you are safe." ”
"Yes, it's safe, thank you." Abu replied gratefully, then glanced at the gendarmes who were already preparing to step forward behind ******, and said to ******, "Lieutenant Colonel, can you wait a moment?" I have a few words to say to you. ”
He hesitated and nodded.
Abu first handed the smart terminal to ****** and told him the importance of the contents of the contents, and after hearing it, ****** immediately understood Abu's intention to give it to him, and immediately assured Abu that he would definitely send the smart terminal to the Supreme Commander.
"Thank you." Abu nodded gratefully, and then said, "Raul and Sean are my subordinates, and the events that happened during the battle have nothing to do with them, they are just carrying out my orders, so I hope they are not implicated." ”
"It's ......." Some embarrassed: "I received an order to take the three of you back, and ......." He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "I understand what you mean, but an order is an order, but don't worry, if they just carry out the orders you give, then the two of them will be fine, I assure you." ”
When he said this, ****** deliberately accentuated the tone in one of the short words, Abu immediately laughed after hearing it, ****** obviously understood his arrangement, and also made a promise to himself in this way, this is the tacit understanding between soldiers and soldiers, with ****** this sentence, Abu is relieved.
"Welcome back, you are heroes, you are safe!" He took a step back and said solemnly to the three Abu: "You have shown courage as a soldier in the battle with the enemy, and as a soldier, I am proud to have such comrades-in-arms, welcome back, comrades-in-arms!" Salute! ”
At the same time as the soldiers behind him, they saluted the three Abu, who also returned the salute in the most standard posture, and when the salute was over, the gendarmes began their mission, they brought electronic handcuffs to the three Abu, and escorted them out of the .......
