Nearly half a month after the attack on "Dillard", the Morningstar finally rushed back "as fast as possible".

Today's "Dillard" is different from the time, from the edge of the star system to the moon "Christel" of "Laxis", the patrol boats, engineering ships, and medical ships of the 44th Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy are weaving back and forth, swimming like fish in the starry sky.

The supply space station that was originally deployed over "Cristel" has been torn apart by the attack of the First Fleet of the Legion of Doom, reduced to a pile of steel wreckage, and pulled away by the Navy's engineering ships.

Nearly half of the above-ground buildings in the industrial park have been burned by war, and the defense and communication systems have been paralyzed, leaving the area around the underground passage barely in its original state.

The location of the "Morning Star" is located near the 6th planet "Rudope", not because Captain Tang is cautious, he was forced out of virtual space by someone, and the culprits are 3 heavy interceptor ships, and a patrol fleet of 30 frigates and 5 destroyers.

Being intercepted at the door of his own house will not make anyone happy. Under the orders of the Tang side, Yuffie immediately sent a contact request to the patrol fleet to inform him of his identity information.

In her opinion, this was just a routine, because the "Morning Star" had already been known as the Star Alliance, and unless the commander of the patrol was blind, he would not recognize the origin of her own warship.

The commander of the patrol was naturally not blind, but he did not let him go at the first time, but asked them to wait for a while on the grounds that they needed to inform the fleet command.

Wait a moment...... Wait a minute, indeed!

About half an hour later, Fang received the order to "let go" from the fleet command, and the fleet command did not even show his face, as if this was their chassis, not the home of the "Morning Star", as if Captain Tang was an insignificant small role, not worthy of the personal reception of the generals of the command.

This can be called arrogant or premeditated.

Yuffie was a little unhappy, Joey next to her gritted his teeth with hatred, when he was in "Jakarta Pur" before, whether it was Newton Bell or Dalton Evelyn, they were polite and courteous to him and Walton, but now when they are on their own turf, they still have to act according to the color of others.

Tang Fang sat in the captain's seat, his expression did not change, and he ordered the pilot group to continue to march towards "Christel", and said casually: "People are thinking about our safety, why do you have a straight face, you should be grateful." ”

Freya broke out of her arms, very strictly, and said very seriously: "Tang Fang, you are lying. ”

Claire filled his cup with boiled water and smiled, "Alas, even Freya knows you're lying. ”

Tang Fang said: "Is the word 'bad guy' engraved on my face? ”

Everyone on the bridge nodded in unison.

"Well, I admit to speaking with a clear conscience."

…………

Moments later, the Morning Star arrived at the high-altitude orbit of Christiel, and a Longsword-class frigate sailed out of the shadows, which was sent by Yassen Nicholas to meet the crowd.

After a brief conversation, the Morningstar followed it towards the sunny side of Christel.

Because the two space stations in the high-altitude orbit of "Christiel" have been damaged, the pirate fleet led by Chen Jian and Stephen Su can only be moored in space, like helpless duckweed.

Not far away, a large space station is taking shape in the high-altitude orbit of "Laxis". It comes from the Star Covenant Navy, and is a patchwork of specially built large ships, just like the ancient armies camped, providing supply, maintenance, dispatch, command and other operations for the frontline fleet.

The 44th Fleet is definitely a loyal naval fleet, David Conan ordered them to strengthen their defenses and protect "Dillard" from being attacked by the Doom Legion or the Pirates again, they simply moved their headquarters to "Dillard", while unconditionally helping "Morning Star Casting" and "Daystar Pharmaceutical" to clean up the battlefield and carry out rescue work, while stepping up the construction of a military space station and laying out a defense network with "Laxis" as the core.

If you look at it from an extreme distance, the space-based defense facilities and the outer patrol fleet of the 44th Fleet are like two large nets, firmly encasing "Christiel" in the middle, as long as Harrington Harris's Doom Legion or Albert, Whitebeard and other pirates arrive, they will definitely encounter a head-on attack.

Of course, some people don't think so, and instead of feeling safe, they feel like they're in danger, like Stephen Sue.

"This group of eight lambs is simply a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens, and they are not well-intentioned."

This was the first thing he said after meeting Captain Tang.

Yasen Nicholas's face was also not very good-looking, and he didn't care about greetings, and said worriedly: "What are you thinking?" Or what are you planning? Now that even the Star Alliance Navy is involved, is it too much trouble? ”

"That's it...... How can there be any reason to deliberately sell the nest to the enemy, but now it's good, the wolf is gone, and the tiger has blocked the door of the house again...... Where those bastards in the navy are protecting us, it is simply surveillance and restriction. ”

Stephen Sue said a lot more today than usual, because he couldn't tear his sister apart, what did Tang Fang do this for.

In fact, even if Albert, Whitebeard, and Black Pearl, Cobra, and the Hannibal Pirates don't play this scene in no man's land, he and Chen Jian will find other excuses to lead the garrison fleet out for a walk, so Albert's stupidity to take out the nest as bait is purely self-inflicted.

But...... From Albert's point of view, selling the nest is forced to be helpless. Why did Captain Tang sell his nest? What good is the ruined industrial complex of "Christil" for him? No matter how you look at it, it is a painful thing for the enemy, and now it has attracted the Star Alliance Navy to play the trick of the dove occupying the magpie's nest, which is described in a not very nice sentence, that is, "I lost my wife and broke my soldiers." ”

As a veteran conspiracy theorist, Stephen Sue thought that a smart person like Captain Tang could not be stupid enough to do a business that would shoot himself in the foot, but on the other hand, he couldn't understand what benefits the attack on "Dillard" would bring him.

Tang Fang did not answer his question, nor did he explain it to Yasen Nicholas, but asked Chen Jian, who was in charge of intelligence gathering, "Can you tell me about the losses of the fleet?" ”

"As a result of this operation, 15 frigates, 4 destroyers, 1 cruiser were sunk, and more than 40 warships were damaged at various lengths. The patrol that remained in 'Dillard' also had 3 warships sunk by the First Fleet of the Legion of Doom because they were caught off guard, and the remaining ships escaped from the battle according to the original plan and were saved, and the other ...... Albert's spies in the fleet have been eliminated. ”

He nodded, and asked, "What about Ruskin and Sheridan?" ”

Chen Jian was about to tell him on the way to come, when suddenly, the door of the bridge of the Headless Horsemann opened, and Sheridan and Ruskin walked into the bridge.

It can be seen that the two of them are full of energy, and they are very different from the tragic situation of the ground buildings in the industrial park, and they don't look like they were attacked at all.

Stephen Sue felt that these two guys must have a grudge against those who died, otherwise, why were their bones not cold, these two bastards were still smiling like a moon flower, but he watched the park staff who survived the war bury those who died in the cold soil of "Christiel", and carved names on the broken stone tablets.

Tang Fang asked, "How's it going?" ”

Sheridan took a cigar from the veteran, took two sips, and made an "OK" gesture at him.

Ruskin added: "Only Meterev's side had some minor problems, and he was captured by the landing force belonging to the First Fleet of the Legion of Doom, and his life and death are unknown." ”

"It doesn't matter." Tang Fang waved his hand: "As long as the military is not suspicious." ”

Sheridan finished his cigar and extinguished it vigorously in the ashtray, saying: "The military don't have to worry, they have limited knowledge of the situation in the industrial park, and it is impossible to investigate and deal with any mistakes, but some staff and the newly arrived Sulu and Mongol workers are inevitably afraid, and some people have already approached me in the past few days, hoping to send them away." ”

"Just send them away." Tang Fang waved his hand: "As the old saying goes, real gold must be refined by fire, and only those who dare to stay after experiencing disasters can be trusted." ”

Sheridan nodded, "I'll deal with this right away when I'm back later." ”

Stephen Sue was a little puzzled after hearing this, he ...... He actually used this attack as a testing ground to test the trustworthiness of his employees? How ruthless it takes to do this......

Ruskin walked up to Stephen Sue at some point, crossed his hands, and said, intentionally or unintentionally, "Do you believe in the saying 'seeing is believing'?" Anyway, I will never believe it from now on. ”

Bai Yue came out of nowhere, looked at the two of them condescendingly, was silent for a long time, and muttered, "Two idiots." ”

The deputy head of the regiment had very sharp ears, and when he heard this, he was furious and said, "What did you say? I kind of say it again. ”

Bai Yue said, "You can't beat me." ”

Stephen Su thought about it and felt that what he said made a lot of sense, not only could he not beat him, but even if Chen Jian and Yasen Nicholas were added, the victory and defeat would be 55 at most, but it was just ...... This kid's mouth is too bad.

"Look...... The truth is never harsh, and the lies are mostly beautiful. ”

Stephen thought for a moment, dragged Ruskin by the arm, and continued to dig deeper into the deep meaning behind the phrase "seeing is believing", unwilling to be more serious with this "brain-dead philosopher" who lived in reality.

At this moment, the Headless Horsemann received a communication request from the bridge of the USS Morningstar, from the Covenant Navy's 44th Fleet Command.

Tang Fang stopped everyone's conversation, walked to the captain's seat and sat down, and ordered to be transferred to the No. 1 big screen.

After a short effort, the screen flashed, and a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, flat short hair, and a little stubble on his chin appeared in front of everyone.

"I'm the Deputy Commander of the 44th Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy, Pompeie Clark."

The voice is loud, full of energy, and there is an undoubted martial artist's majesty.

Tang Fang responded lightly: "Tang Fang"

Unlike the masculinity of Major General Pompey, his voice is weak, like a fruit seller who wakes up from a nap in the middle of summer and can't lift his spirits, making people wonder if he has been hit so hard that he has lost his former liveliness and publicity.

Pompeo Clark didn't care about Captain Tang's mental state, nor did he care about the loss of the "Christier" industrial park, he connected the "Morning Star" this time just to make a request, or an order, and the people over there had to cooperate, and if they didn't cooperate, they had to cooperate.

"Under the orders of Admiral David Conan, the commander-in-chief of the Ayaros-Koplin-Slandar Theater of Operations of the Star Alliance Navy, in order to ensure that 'Dillard' is not attacked by the Doom Legion and pirate forces, the 44th Fleet will be stationed here for a long time in the future, and I hope you can cooperate."

Tang Fang was not surprised, and continued to say in his sickly tone: "How can it be called cooperation? ”

"The defense of the entire star system is entrusted to us, you only need to engage in commercial production with peace of mind, and the Star Covenant Navy will protect your personal safety in the days to come."

It can be seen that he is a difficult person to get along with, and when he says this, his tone is outrageous, as if it is not a discussion at all, but a notice to the detainees, his face is cold, and his tone is even colder.

The literati have the loftiness of the literati, and the warriors have the pride of the warriors.

He looks down on the businessmen who drill camp everywhere and are mercenary, and he also looks down on the sinister and cunning, long-sleeved politicians who are good at dancing, and thinks that these people are lazy, greedy for life and afraid of death, and have no manly spirit, but are just a group of villains who play with power, and are scared to pee their pants when they are pointed at the top of their heads.

Protecting such a person, he felt wronged and unworthy.

Tang Fang's identity is very delicate, he is a businessman, and he is somewhat political, and at the same time he is a foreigner, if he hadn't said a few words on SNS and TV stations that were quite listening, His Excellency the Major General would probably not even bother to say hello.

This is not the same as the arrogance of the nobles of the Mengya Empire towards the commoners, it is an arrogance with a professional nature.

Pompey thinks that he is a soldier, and it is his duty to defend the people and his responsibility to protect the country, so he is patriotic and dedicated, and is willing to sacrifice his life for the Star Alliance, so he is very noble, so he is very great, and a ground mouse like Tang Fang who can only show off his scheming and play tricks should be in awe of him.

He really, really looked down on the listless young man opposite.

Tang Fang didn't reply immediately, moved his body back slightly, and shrunk into the soft fluff of the tiger skin cushion, not arrogant, not impatient, not anxious, not annoyed, and still said in that weak voice: "I finally know why you are so old, but you are still only a deputy commander." ”

"Hmph." Pompeo Clark was not annoyed by this sentence, of course people with status would not care about small people, even if this little person made some people in the council hurt, but in his eyes, he was still a small person, just like the incident that happened not long after "Dillard".

In front of the army, Tang Fang and his "Morning Star Casting" are just a clown who can't get on the stage, and the only thing he is good at is to kidnap public opinion with despicable means, use the people of the Star Alliance as a shield, and when he encounters a hegemonic force like the Night Legion, he can only be slaughtered like a coward, and then hide in the corner and lick his wounds.

He really looked down on such a person, and thought that Captain Tang's backlash was even more cowardly and incompetent, and he would only express his tongue as quickly as he could.

"I have brought the words to ...... That's all there is to it. ”

After speaking, without waiting for the Tang side to react, he unilaterally cut off the connection.

No one spoke, until Bai Yue opened his mouth to complain for Tang Fang, but his opinion was very strange, and even said that it was unique: "Have you paid your taxes?" Paying taxes to bark in front of yourself for raising a pack of dogs? I don't feel worth it for you. ”

Roy said: "Soldiers are going to risk their lives to defend the country, they are cute and respectable, you don't hack them." ”

Bai Yue asked rhetorically: "So they can hack us unscrupulously?" For example, 'Diaomin'...... I remember that your homeland is the Monya Empire, where were the soldiers who were supposed to protect you when you were captured by Faraday to be a real yàn? Oh...... They were looking at the gate for Faraday. ”

Roy's face flushed, but he didn't know what to say to refute.

Bai Hao is not here at the moment, so Bai Yue is much more arrogant than usual.

Tang Fang was still shrunk in the silky fluff of the captain's tiger skin cushion, and the love on his lips was not very real.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Ai asked.

"He's very tugging."

Zhou Ai said: "You are also very dragged. ”

Captain Tang said, "I didn't have him to drag it." ”

Zhou Ai said: "No...... No...... You are definitely more dragged than him, as the saying goes, 'It's easy to stop in the open, but it's hard to guard against it.' ’”

"Zhou Ai, who did you learn from this chewing kung fu? I'm good at it. ”

The girl didn't think about it, and replied, "You." ”

The piece of skin under Stephen Sue's eyelids trembled like a sieve, and he muttered, "Is there any mistake, those people in the navy have blocked the door of the house, and they still have idle jokes." ”

Jian Chen suddenly remembered something, looked at the captain's seat and asked, "What about Byron?" Where did Byron go? ”

Haosen threw away the cigarette butt and said a very literary sentence: "Whose new love is not someone else's old love." ”

The veteran said, "You obviously can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour." ”

When Captain Tang's family was heartless, in the bridge of the "Independence Day", the flagship of the 44th Fleet of the "Laxis" high-altitude orbit Star Alliance Navy, Pompeo Clark got down from the captain's seat, looked at an Asian woman much younger than him with a gloomy face, and said, "Why did you give me this errand?" I know I hate people like him. ”

"I also know you don't like me." A smile flew from the corner of the woman's mouth, charming and sultry, and she squinted her eyes and said, "If I say that I did this to provoke him, do you believe it?" ”

Pompey said, "What's in it for you?" ”

"Don't you think it's fun to flirt with a lost dog?"

"Hmph, Mie Nakamura, if someone as mean as you were to do this, it would be better than me."

"So you can only be my deputy—a big man like you, and a little woman like me as a deputy." She said with a smile, very happy and brilliant, like a big sun hanging above the nine heavens. R1152
