As mentioned earlier, the "original" mission of the 13th Fleet was to conduct exercises in the Runa system and a detachment of the Ninth Fleet.

Of course, as a result of the exercise, there were cults and pirates entering the country, and it was reasonable for the community navy to destroy the enemy when it saw it. In addition, if the war situation is unfavorable, isn't it also very reasonable for the far-shore fleet, which came to exercise according to the original plan, to reinforce it by the way?

Of course, the commanders of the Far Shore Fleet really didn't expect that the newly formed small fleet, after blowing up the cultists and defeating the pirates, would really plunge into the nebula so ironly.

Vice Admiral Sylvester felt that this was indeed very brave but a little iron, but considering that it was his old captain Commodore Marklov who led the troops, he was a little relieved. It was a cautious and steady old sailor, who should have calmed down the fanatical young people before things could be out of control.

Before that, though, he had ordered his fleet to be ready to take over in the Runa system.

Then, the Thirteenth Fleet, which originally thought it would be a head-butted and bleeding, came back like bandits who had successfully ransacked the landlord's house.

After listening to Marklov's explanation of the situation, Vice Admiral Brandon Sylvester, commander of the Far Shore Defense Fleet and overseer of the Far Shore Military District, looked at the smug old general behind the holographic projection, and was dumbfounded for half a minute.

The empire is behind all this? Well, that sounds reasonable, but it's not surprising.

The Empire built a fortress in the Far Shore Nebula? This sounds like a fantasy, and it feels like someone built a jade gate pass on the pass of Tanggula Mountain in the era of cold weapons. However, if you think about it more closely, it seems to be quite in line with the style of the empire. Lieutenant General Sylvester had dealt too much with the other side, and knew all too well what an arrogant, murderous, and stubborn bunch they were.

The fortress of the empire was demolished by the 13th fleet? This one......

Lieutenant General Brandon Sylvester has been guarding the frontier of the Far Shore Star Sector for ten years, and every day he is facing the imperial military pressure on the other side of the nebula, feeling that he has experienced all the winds and waves, and he is also professionally trained, so he feels that no matter what happens, he will not be surprised. But at this time, he still felt that the amount of information in this matter was too much, and he couldn't continue to think about it for a while.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Vice Admiral Sylvester simply gave up thinking and focused on the two giant ships that had been towed back.

It was a new type of warship of the Empire that he had never seen before.

Finding the way with new ships and building new ships in extreme conditions...... This seems to be quite in line with the manipulation of the Empire's devils.

He looked at Commodore Marklov, the first captain of his own ship. Thirty years have passed, and he has changed from a rookie officer to a lieutenant general, and the other party was still an ordinary captain more than three months ago.

Time is really fast, which makes people sigh!

He showed a sincere smile, a fifty-year-old face, but the smile was full of the demeanor of the thirty-year-old: "So, old captain, as a rookie admiral, you must now learn to think from the height of the fleet commander!" You can't indulge in aircraft carriers and can't extricate yourself. The boat you got ......"

"Don't even think about it!" Maklov is exactly like I'm going to fight whoever dares to touch my ship.

"I'm all my age, and I don't have any hobbies other than playing with aircraft carriers! That is, when she is a nanny, she is playing with aircraft carriers, and she spends her old age in peace! Maklov thought for a moment and said, "Then again, the new sub-light interceptor from the Griffin Factory, I heard that the first batch of three or four brigades was assigned to your fleet. Why don't you borrow me a few for trial training? ”

"Don't even think about it, old fellow!" Lieutenant General Sylvester was furious and wanted to fight the opponent for 300 rounds, but at this time, both of them received a reminder from the adjutant. Then, a holographic projection of a third person was inserted into the communication channel, it was an old man with white hair and a wrinkled face, but his body was still tall and vigorous, as if he was in the prime of life, it was none other than Marshal Noam Perris, the newly appointed Minister of Military Orders.

So soon to get to the other side of the Earth? Lieutenant General Sylvester looked at Marshal Peris, then at Brigadier General Marklov, and saluted with the latter thoughtfully.

"Let's get straight to the point." The marshal hastily returned a military salute and got straight to the point: "Steve, the Far Shore Nebula and the Runa system, what's the situation now?" ”

You two old guys really have some kind of PY deal! Vice Admiral Sylvester rolled his eyes in his heart, knowing that his new ship was really out of the question.

Commodore Maklov, who was born as an aircraft carrier registrar, is indeed far inferior to the highly educated and eloquent officers of the "elite bureaucracy" at least in terms of eloquence. It took him more than ten minutes in slightly verbose words before he finally gave a general account of what had happened during this time.

During this period, Sylvester listened to it several times and was a little anxious, if it weren't for the fact that he was just a bystander from beginning to end, he would have wanted to add to him.

Fortunately, Marshal Perris was not impatient at all, he listened to the brigadier general's words calmly, muttered for a while, and then couldn't help but show a distressed look: "Huh...... I had just thought that it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to wipe out the Lumina rebels, and that it would be a blessing if I could teach the pirates of the Nebula on the far shore a lesson. I just really didn't expect this surprise to be so beyond expectations! The bandits were suppressed to the point of directly engaging with the Imperial Army...... Bran, your Ninth Fleet is directly facing the first line of the Empire's defense zone, but for more than ten years, have you ever had this experience? Not with the second-class lackeys of the Bakvi Birdmen and the Angmang Monkeys, but with the Imperial Army? ”

"Never." Lieutenant General Sylvester smiled wryly. The Star Gap and Lucknar Corridor that he guarded were not originally suitable for the Great Fleet to fight, although facing the Empire's sphere of influence, there were small-scale border conflicts every year, but there were less than one in ten cases of real misfire.

How could the empire come forward in person for such a small scene? Not to mention the Empire, even the Buckvi Birdman, who is more adept at shipping and trade, has not ended.

So far, the Far Shore Defense Fleet under Vice Admiral Sylvester has beaten the Red Monkeys of the Duchy of Unmans, and the giant moles of the United Elders of Embu, but there are no birdmen, let alone pretentious Imperial people.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant general couldn't help but look at his old captain with an expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Very good, very energetic." Marshal Perris suddenly laughed.

The lieutenant general was stunned for a moment, thinking that I didn't speak, and then realized that His Excellency the Marshal should be talking about himself.

"I mean the look in your eyes." The marshal explained with a smile: "When you heard that we had a conflict with the Empire, your first reaction was not worry, but envy. This is completely different from most of your classmates, but it is very similar to your younger siblings. ”

Therefore, I am also the least popular among my classmates. Of course, he was the only one who became the commander of the main fleet on the front line. Lieutenant General Sylvester didn't know whether he should smile bitterly or be complacent.

Brigadier General Maklov smiled at this time: "Look at your appearance, we haven't gone too far?" ”

"Anyway, neither the Empire nor we will admit to fighting in the Far Shore Nebula. Even if you report it to the outside world, it will only say that you have wiped out a pirate den in the nebula. The marshal laughed: "Moreover, this does prove what the kid said......"

The kid? The two generals were puzzled.

"Your juniors are the most outstanding people of the year." Field Marshal Perris said to the lieutenant general, "He told me that there may be holes in the defense line of the Far Shore Star Sector. In this way, I will have a reason to convince Congress to replenish the Far Shore Fleet. ”

Vice Admiral Sylvester was overjoyed at once, but heard the marshal say again: "I will try to persuade the parliament and the military council to add at least ten new ships to this place, including ten newly-built heavy cruisers." According to the kid's opinion, these new ships should form a patrol fleet to patrol and monitor the border sector. The specific cruising route is up to you and your staff to discuss. Anyway, now we have a star map of the Far Shore Nebula. Oh, Steve, for that reason all of you in the Thirteenth Fleet deserve a medal. ”

Lieutenant General Sylvester reconsidered. Any admiral would be happy if he knew how many new ships he had, and as for the rest of the details, of course, he wouldn't care.

Marshal Perris paused and added, "In addition, we should build two more forts in the Runa system and the Bedo 12 system, equipped with high-powered gravity well jamming devices. In this way, the defenses of the Far Shore Star Sector should be much more solid. ”

The old marshal is indeed worthy of being the veteran general of Rong Ma's life, just by glancing at the star map, he saw the biggest loophole in the star sector frontier, so he quickly gave a solution.

Lieutenant General Sylvester was even happier. The fortress has increased, and of course the troops under him have increased, which general would be unhappy?

It's just that the solution given by the marshal, in the final analysis, still costs money. And to spend money, it must go through the National Defense Council and Parliament.

However, unlike his predecessor, Field Marshal Erwin, Marshal Perris is a bit more rigid and serious in his military style, and he does not seem to be the type who is good at arguing with bureaucrats and politicians.

"It's okay, Chairman Nishita will be on my side." Marshal Perris said.

Both generals breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, Chairman Keith Nichta's various initiatives in support of the military are well in everyone's eyes. What's more, after the Navy Day incident, President Maria Merson, who came to power, is only a transitional figure with little prestige and no skills, and it is even more impossible to have any checks and balances on the chairman of the National Defense Commission.

In addition, the AfD, to which the chairman himself belongs, is the third largest party in Congress, but he has a wife born in a wealthy coalition family. As a result, the largest party in Congress, the pro-Union Blue Star Friends Party, became his potential political ally. In a sense, Congress will not be his shackle.

As a result, Keith Nichta is almost arrogantly strengthening the community's military power. Of course, his prestige in the army and in the eyes of ordinary people is naturally rising.

A lot of people are looking forward to next year's election. Everyone agreed that after so many years of civilian bureaucratic leadership, it was time for the community to have an energetic and determined leader.

"Are we in good times?" Lieutenant General Sylvester let out a sigh of satisfaction.

No, if these things are made and they are never used, then it will be the best of times! Maklov thought.

However, before the old man could say a few more words of sadness, another older man in the communication channel said directly: "Steve, return to Gibraltar with your fleet as soon as possible, and the most elite men of the Intelligence Department and the Armaments Department will be waiting for you there." By the way, I'll be there as soon as possible! ”

Marklov suddenly squeezed out an obvious bitter look on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye: "You, you are so unfair! According to the regulations of the navies of the nations, whoever captures it should be theirs......"

"That's an unspoken rule, not a rule!" Marshal Perris said coldly, seeing that the other party once again showed that I would fight with whoever dared to move my ship, and said: "Don't worry, it will take two or three months to find out the empire's shipbuilding ideas and the application concept of some new technologies, and then we will talk about it." ”

"What? What do you mean to talk again? Give me a word about this right now! Moreover, as far as the waste of the equipment technology department is concerned, will it be eaten thoroughly in two or three months? Your Excellency, Minister, old leader, let's talk again. I'll tell you ......."

At the same time, on the Corsica, Yu Lian also connected to the essena wave instant communication directly to Earth. The person he spoke to was his theoretical immediate superior, Major General Azisha Marrowing, commander of the Blue Guards.

"That's the list of all the hidden lines of the Cult of All Souls in the army. In the Blue Guard, the dark line is Major John Fryer. You can use him as a breakthrough to do a sweep of the Community Guard. Yu Liandao.

“…… It's nerve-wracking! Major Fryer is not a combatant talent, but he is a rare thing for this rabble to have some business ability. I'm going to promote him to be a logistics director or a foreign affairs director or something. Major General Mallovin looked distressed.

"Don't you think it's this type that makes you more suitable for being a spy?" Yu Liandao.

"yes, that's why I feel nerve-wracking!"

However, there are even more nerve-wracking things. When Yu Lian brought out the existence tray of the Snake of the World, the other party's right eye suddenly twitched uncontrollably.

The major general hurriedly covered his right eye: "...... In other words, behind the Cult of All Souls, there is the serpent of the world! ”

"It seems that you are not unfamiliar with this name." Yu Liandao.

"Not only that, but we've played against each other a few times. Thanks to them, I've changed my teammates a few times! Tsk, but I haven't killed a single member of theirs until now, and I've even been able to capture their true identities. Major General Mallovin gritted his teeth, even with a little incompetent rage of hysteria.

Fortunately, the eldest sister quickly calmed down: "The Snake of the World is the most mysterious and terrifying terrorist organization in the universe. As for their clues, the intelligence departments of the whole universe will rush to them, and based on this, we have shown a big face in front of the whole universe this time. Thank you, Captain! ”

"You are too polite, Your Excellency, this is the duty of the lower officials. In other words, it is precisely because of the wise leadership of your childhood idol that the work efficiency of the lower officials is so high! ”

Major General Mallovin looked at Yu Lian seriously, and was just about to "tsk" a few times to ridicule him, "You can actually make a fart with thick eyebrows and big eyes", but he heard the other party say again: "In addition, the information about the ring snake can be shared with other countries without reservation." We could even take the opportunity to exchange some information from the Guerrilla Guild and the Knights of the Astral Plane. ”

Major General Mallovin glanced at Yu Lian seriously again and nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll think about it, but when it comes to the Knights of the Astral Plane, I think of something glad about." Major General Mallovin smiled: "I still have to thank you!" Yu Lian. ”
