Chapter 56: Enemy Ships Approach
Captain Winter and his 101st Company arrived in support aboard a raid landing ship called "Vahu 211". As we've said before, this is a small warship used for gang jumping and orbital raids, and it's the youngest of all types of space warships alongside assault ships, so naturally it doesn't have orbital bombing capabilities.
As a result, since the start of the war, Wahu-211 has been hiding in the low-earth orbit of Xinyumen on standby, so it can only play the role of a reconnaissance satellite, and it is not very professional reconnaissance satellite.
The crew thought they would be the safest in the war, but they were a little distracted. So, when it was discovered that three non-own warships appeared in the radar range, they were naturally frightened.
Their response is already a bit slow. You know, the war in the universe is a two-way street, you find each other, and the other party naturally discovers you. Thinking of this, many young crew members who had never participated in actual combat turned white with fright.
Fortunately, the other party did not seem to be ready to attack, but only opened the shield and the main gun door and continued to move forward.
"Boat, captain, what are we going to do......" This time, the crew was even more flustered. They recognized that all three were destroyers, more than three times the size and tonnage of their own, and more than ten times more firepower.
The captain, Lieutenant Jeff, saw it more clearly and recognized that the three were Empire-designed "Apocalypse Eagle"-class destroyers. The versatility of this type of warship was extremely widespread, and the Empire opened up the construction rights to its allies and subjects. Looking at the livery and coat of arms of those ships, they should belong to the space fleet of the Kaitai Kingdom.
The captain took a few deep breaths, tried his best to calm his beating heart, and said in a deep voice: "Send a report to the other party, this is the territory of the Blue Star Community!" This is the territory of the Blue Star Community! The other party is already close to the low earth orbit of a manned planet, which can be regarded as an invasion! ”
The communications officer began to call several times with a sad face, but then replied with an even more mournful face: "Captain, the other party said that they belong to the space fleet of the Kaitai Kingdom, and yes, they are here to carry out the evacuation mission......
"Evacuate, evacuate? Bastard, this is Chiguoguo's aggression! Lieutenant Jeff was furious: "Keep calling, and, give me Captain Winter on the ground!" ”
"Well, Captain, what if you call three times? According to the Navy regulations, we can open fire! ”
The captain glared at the other party viciously, thinking to himself, you don't look at the other party's three black hole railguns, can you beat these close defense guns on our ship? Oh, by the way, as a raider, you can't do anything but have a head iron, and you can also rush up to have a ramming tactic. But the problem is that the ramming angle is for gang jumping, and the marines on our ship are all on the yellow planet below!
"Captain, Captain Winter is connected, uh, yes, yes! Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Bonaparte wants to talk to you. ”
Lieutenant Jeff was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took over the communicator, and heard a young but powerful female voice coming from inside: "Captain Jeff?" The number and model of the enemy fleet? ”
What a resolute lady! The lieutenant said while thinking, "The three destroyers are the Cat 2 destroyers of the Kaitai Kingdom. ”
"Oh, the one modified with the Apocalypse Eagle, with a railgun and an electromagnetic torpedo?"
"Yes, sir!" This lady is a connoisseur!
"Okay, you can temporarily get out of the opponent's range and continue to ensure surveillance!"
Lieutenant Jeff let out a sigh of relief. As long as they don't let them go to fight against others, he is quite grateful, and this is not an escape from the battle, but an order from the commander. Thinking of this, Mr. Captain was eager to offer the empathetic Lieutenant Colonel as a grandmother.
"Clear, understood...... Uh, besides, sir, don't worry, the main fleet of the town guard will arrive in a day at most. ”
"I know." Eleanor, who was on the ground, interrupted communication with the captain and applauded everyone: "Did you hear that?" Then hurry up and prepare. ”
What to prepare? Someone hasn't had time to ask this sentence yet. Yu Lian had already run to the command vehicle, carrying a gun and saying loudly: "All units, raise the elevation angle by 40 degrees, switch to the air mode!" Seeing that the goblins were so frightened by him that they got busy again, they said to Eleanor: "Sir, we still need the cooperation of the fortress cannon aiming array over there in Tulong Harbor!" ”
Eleanor nodded, and commanded the communication terminal on her arm: "Share the field of view of the aiming array with Warrant Officer Yu Lian, the communication code of his mecha is ......"
“AF4892W!” Yu Lian added.
"Did you hear that? Also, connect me to the Starport Tower and call the Commander of the Kaitai Fleet! ”
"Lieutenant Colonel, the Governor of the Mountain Temple wants to communicate with you."
Eleanor directly ignored the last sentence, and said to Captain Winter next to him: "Captain, as you can see, there is a possibility of an artillery battle soon. I need your people to get into the city by airship first. ”
Since it was an artillery battle, these elite marines of the 101st Company couldn't help much, and Captain Winter nodded calmly: "Is there anything we need to do?" ”
"Protect the Governor of the Mountain Temple in the Governor's Palace, and also, blockade Star Harbor and seize a cargo ship Snow Swallow. Protect the crew above, especially their representative, Mr. Chuck Brownwivel! Speaking of this, Eleanor paused and said, "By the way, the Snow Swallow is the property of the Imperial Canaan Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Brownwivel may be a retainer of a certain emperor-electing king!" ”
Captain Winter was silent for a few seconds, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he said solemnly in a heavy and firm manner: "Understood! Don't worry! ”
Eleanor groaned for a moment, and said with unprecedented solemnity, "Thank you! Rest assured, I will take all the consequences. ”
Yu Lian watched with emotion from the sidelines.
In another timeline of history, the senior sister accidentally fell into a coma, and the Tulong garrison, which had just defeated the Sha Min's forces, suddenly lost its backbone, and the Tulong garrison was even more unlikely to obey Captain Winter's orders. As a result, the governor of the mountain temple, who had shrunk in the safety of the governor's palace throughout the war, jumped out again to brush up his presence. After a commotion, the Kaitai people really landed three warships on the inner lake, which is equivalent to landing on the territory of the community.
Later, the situation naturally became more complicated.
But now, with the lively senior sister, everything is different. Of course, we must criticize the heroic view of history, but we must also recognize the role of heroes in advancing history, so that we will not fall into the trap of mechanical materialism......
"Captain, watch out for that brown wisp. It is possible that he is a spiritual awakener. When arresting, ah no, protect him, you can let everyone put some music in the headset or something. By the way, in order to prevent him from accidentally biting his tongue, it is best to provide some protection to others throughout the whole process. Yu Lian added.
Captain Winter, a handsome uncle with both wisdom and bravery, was slightly stunned, and then responded with a greasy smile that only a man could understand.
Eleanor snorted angrily: "Yuri, you seem to have said that your subordinates have an awakened person, right?" ”
It took Yu Lian a second to realize that he was calling himself, and quickly replied: "Yes, Sergeant Major Ina Hirika, who has become the 'sentinel' of the first ring, may become a ...... in the future"
"All in all, it's a bit like an archer in the game, isn't it?"
"Well, that's true. But it's more like a hunter, after all, there are also skills in setting traps......"
"Let her report here!"
The senior sister ordered to the terminal again: "Turn off the city shield, and the planetary fortress cannon will start charging!" Also, what's going on over there at the tower! Connect me right away! ”
After Captain Winter and the others left, Ina also rushed to the Alqi Heights, Eleanor looked at this neat and bright beautiful short-haired girl, and just wanted to make a move, but got a response from the tower, so she motioned to the other party with her eyes to hand over to Yu Lian, and she opened the communication.
In Eleanor's field of vision, a translucent light curtain popped out, revealing the image of a black-haired Cathayan naval officer, who looked like a black-haired gorilla with a fierce expression.
"I am Captain Mosu, the captain of the Hellcat 12, who belongs to the Kaitai Royal Navy, and I am also the person in charge of this evacuation operation! That you may know that we have only come to protect the safety of our citizens and the well-being of all citizens of the Galactic Civilization, and that we have no hostile intentions! I hope you don't get me wrong! ”
"We have not received any diplomatic notes! Your actions, according to Galactic law, are outright acts of aggression! We reserve the sacred and inviolable right of self-defense! Please leave immediately! ”
"We have been invited by your governor."
"Oh, really?"
"No, no, absolutely nothing!" Another display screen popped up in the field of vision, and it was the sweaty governor of the mountain temple.
Well, private chats have turned into group chats.
Eleanor rolled her eyes, wondering who the hell added this guy in? When the incident is over, I'm going to shoot the people in the communications hub one by one.
"I, I, Lieutenant Colonel Bonaparte, I am responsible for the more than 700,000 citizens of the community in New Yumen. You understand, right? You must be able to understand me. ”
"So you don't believe that we will win, so you will invite the military forces of other countries into our territory without authorization? Oh, I didn't know the Governor's Mansion had this authority. ”
"Oh, yes...... Hey, you've already won, so why dwell on the past. Let's look forward! That's, yes, Colonel Murmur, right? As you can see, we've won. You don't have to worry about it. So, after all, this is our land, right? It's not good to just come in like this! It's really not good! ”
"Your Excellency the Governor, I only accept orders from His Majesty the Grand Protector and the Commander of the Fleet!" The other party still has a straight face.
"Hey, aren't you the Great Protector of the Empire a filial son? From the emperor to the prime minister to the eight elected kings to the fourteenth elected emperor, it seems that they are all bigger than your great protectors. Do you dare not listen to their orders? Are you going to rebel? Eleanor said.
"You!"
Colonel Inkbeard was furious, and his eyes were about to burst into flames, like a cat that had been stepped on its tail...... Well, I don't know if it's figurative or literal.
