Chapter 1031: The Old Drunkard
Of course Mr. Lieutenant General doesn't know about Egger? What kind of existence is Stadiman is, not to mention that Tang Fang can pull him into the system space at any time, even if he is unfortunately killed by the Deep Diver fleet, he has a way to resurrect the funny scientists. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAs long as there are enough crystals and gas resources, that guy will have countless lives.
"You...... Do you really agree to do this? Don't have any objections? ā
Tang Fang ignored Grant's worried eyes and said, "There is no objection, there is one condition." ā
Dalton said, "What conditions. ā
"The Deep Diver fleet guys have robbed the Covenant's fleet of supplies, and the 4,000 tons of Zeros promised me by the Adam government are gone. I understand the current situation of the Star Alliance, and I understand David better? Conan's difficulties with those people, so ...... If this is done, I hope that the Star Alliance can compensate for the loss of 4,000 tons of zero element. ā
"I thought you wanted the lion to open his mouth...... It seems that I have spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. As long as it is done, not to mention 4,000 tons of zero element, 5,000 tons can be. ā
Speaking of which, Adam? The 4,000 tons of zero elements that Oliver promised to provide to the Tang side were destroyed at the hands of the Star Alliance Navy, and the responsibility lies with the Star Alliance, not the Tang side, and the government should make up for the lack of Captain Tang. It's just that because Tang did not assert his rights and interests, coupled with the threat of the Deep Diver fleet, the Adam government was happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb and think about getting through the current difficulties first.
Now Tang Fang is so easy to speak, and only asks the Star Alliance government to compensate the 4,000 tons of zero elements afterwards, which can be described as very kind and benevolent.
Dalton? Evelyn finished praising it, and how did he know that Captain Tang immediately took over the conversation: "Then 5,000 tons?" ā
Mr. Lieutenant General's face was not very good-looking, with astonishment and helplessness, as well as chagrin and grievance.
Grant watched the two of them negotiate the conditions so quickly, and forcefully selected the flesh thorns next to his nails, and in his heart for Egger? Mr. Stetman observed a moment of silence.
Freya folded her hands next to her and counted them, and then looked very smart: "Old man, you haven't said your third requirement yet......
Tang Fang stared at her lovely face and said with a smile: "Do you need to say it?" ā
Is there a military force that can wipe out the Deep Diver fleet? No...... The Covenant doesn't, but he does!
Of course, Freya was such an upright little girl who couldn't guess the little Jiujiu in their hearts, and she had something to say, so Tang Fang patted her on the shoulder, got up and said, "I'm hungry...... Let's go, go to the restaurant for a bite to eat. ā
Grant looked at Dalton politely, asking if Mr. Lieutenant General would like to go and have two drinks together and celebrate.
"Go ahead, I've eaten on my way to the Slandal star system, and I don't feel hungry."
He lied...... On the way to this by boat, he was either worried about the social situation of the Star Alliance, or he was entangled in what kind of wording to use to persuade Tang Fang to cooperate, and where to be in the mood to eat well. But he was not hungry, because his stomach was filled with joy and relief.
Grant didn't persuade again, got up and walked outside behind Tang Fang, he wanted to work harder to see if he could make Tang Fang act more cautiously, after all, Egger? Stadiman is his own person and has an irreplaceable role in the Morning Star Casting, but why is Captain Tang so casual when he treats that guy.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Three days later, the Seraphic Angel temporarily left the Slandal star system and rushed to the Dillard star system. The Quan Angel, the Majin, the Morning Star, and other ships are still standing still to maintain the military confrontation between the Star Alliance, Sulu, and Monya.
In the eyes of the outside world, it is a normal thing for the Seraphic Archangel to go to the Dillard star system this time, after all, it is only a few light years away, and in the absence of drastic changes on the front line, Tang Fang should go home to take a look. After all, a few days ago, it was reported that the convoy carrying large smelting equipment was attacked by the Deep Diver fleet, resulting in the sinking of some warships. Swan and the others discussed and came up with a plan to ensure the safety of the transportation route as soon as possible to deal with the threat of the deep diver fleet.
In fact, the Tang side did not rush to the Dillard star system, but rushed to the airspace of the Roulna Military Space Research Institute with the Minotaur-class battle cruiser and the Morrowind on which Dalton was riding. There is only Miss Alien in the Seraph, and it is not a direct flight to the Dillard star system, her first stop is a wandering planet, instead of Tang Fang to visit Claire and others, and at the same time replenish the nutrients needed for life activities.
Freya has always insisted that the Seraphic Angel is her own and will not give it to the alien woman who smells worse than. But when she was faced with whether to choose to stay by Tang Fang's side or choose to ride the Seraphic Angel to hide people's eyes, she did not hesitate to choose the former, and threw the Seraph, which she had promised to cherish her life, to her most hated guy.
Tang Fang said that women are fickle. Miss Freya said that I am your power bank, and you can only be energetic all day long with me, of course, you have to follow everywhere you go.
He touched his somewhat sore waist, and an extremely dirty thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and his heart said Except for the power bank, you are still my xxx. Of course, he is a righteous gentleman, so he will not turn this idea into words.
It took about a week for the Minotaur-class battlecruisers and the Morning Star to reach anchor in the deep space region of the adjacent Gambis star system.
In fact, the "Surna Space Military Research Institute" is only a symbolic institution, which was approved by the first president of the Star Alliance when the Jupiter Imperial Expeditionary Force attacked the Tianchao Star Region, with the purpose of studying the characteristics of the Jupiter Empire's warships in all aspects, so as to understand as much as possible about the enemy and help the Star Alliance and the Seven Nations Alliance win the victory in this war against foreign forces. Because the scientific research facility was built in the airspace near the Surna star, it has the name "Surna Aerospace Military Research Institute".
Today, however, the Sulna Aerospace Military Research Institute is no longer the Sulna Aerospace Military Research Institute of the past.
The battle against the Jupiter Expeditionary Force in the Hillenbeir Region ended with the collapse of the Jupiter Empire, and shortly after the formation of the Star Alliance, the second president, Mr. Lee Ka Fai, not only formed the Legion of Glory, but also transformed the Sulna Space Military Research Institute from a local institution into a symbolic institution. In other words, the name became a codename.
Today's Sulna Space Military Research Institute refers to a series of research centers used by the Covenant military to study the most urgently needed aerospace technology and military equipment, and is divided into many departments according to different fields of research, and is scattered almost throughout the territory of the Covenant. Each department has a unique and confidential identifier, and only the Covenant President has access to all departments of the Sulna Space Military Research Institute.
The Gambis star system is very desolate because the central star has entered its twilight years, so there are no habiting stars here. However, there are several military ports on its periphery, which serve as naval fleet camps patrolling the country's main transport routes, providing them with supplies, medical care, training, and other services.
In addition, there are some ancillary military facilities within the Gambis star system, such as weapons test areas, tactical training grounds, etc. There is a military academy in the airspace near the "Gambis", which is dedicated to training talents in aerospace machinery maintenance, and because of its small scale, it is not well-known in the Star Alliance society.
Only a very small number of people at the core of the power of the Star Alliance know that this unknown military academy hides something extraordinary behind the appearance of ordinary------ it is a member of the system of the Sulna Space Military Research Institute, and the research work on the damaged warships under the Deep Diver fleet was carried out here. Stetelman slept in a dormitory at the heart of the facility, but Mr. Scientist didn't know that he had once again become a bait for fishing.
On the Minotaur-class battlecruiser, the Don side found Dalton? At the time of Vice Admiral Evelyn, he was sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the bow viewing bay, looking at the silent starry sky in the distance, and drinking without grace.
Now he is completely lacking in the calmness and sophistication of drinking kung fu tea, holding a bottle of brandy with a lot of value in his right hand and no wine glass in his left hand, like an old drunkard blowing on the mouth of the bottle.
This has no grace at all, completely unworthy of his identity and age, and even less worthy of the value of that bottle of wine, looking like a poor worm who has been betrayed by too much affection.
"It's really appropriate to describe your way of drinking like 'tyrannical things'." Tang Fang walked in from the door, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with unhurried steps, and looked in the direction of Gambis.
When he was on the bridge just now, Tang Lin reminded him of Dalton? Evelyn was a little abnormal today, drinking alone in the bow viewing compartment of a battlecruiser, wondering if he had been under too much pressure these days, which affected his mood.
He decided to come over and have a look, whether as an old friend or as a partner, to always show kindness.
As if he hadn't heard the above words, Dalton still used his natural rhythm to raise the bottle and pour a large sip into his mouth, and the spilled wine wet the not dense, but very hard gray stubble next to him.
"Is the sacrifice on the premise of protection really that noble, or is it ...... Is this simply a shame? ā
On the surface, it's a problem, but there's a lot of emotion in it, so it's closer to emotion than a question. Through this sentence, Tang Fang found the crux of the problem------ why Dalton came here alone to drink alcohol, because he could not be saved because he saw death, it was a kind of torment and sin for those who were kind-hearted, even if this behavior was used to protect something more valuable.
In order to paralyze the Deep Diver fleet and ensure the success of the operation, the Covenant did not notify the staff of the Gambis Star System stationed in the Navy and various military facilities inside. In this case, once the Deep Diver fleet arrives, you can imagine what choice those soldiers will make------ they will carry out the will to protect and the mission of the soldiers, and fight to the death against the invading Deep Diver fleet, many young people will lose their precious lives in this war, just to ensure that the enemy falls into the trap, to ensure that in the future, there will be no more similar things like the Dortmund tragedy.
In order to protect more people, a few must be sacrificed...... It looks right, but is it really right?
It's like when he was in the Slandal star system, Tang Fang questioned him.
If you remove subjective emotions and stand on an objective standpoint, it is the one who makes such a plan that makes the power to let those young people die...... In the name of righteousness.
Isn't that sad, not pitiful? Therefore, standing in Dalton's position, on the one hand, there is a strong sense of protection and patriotism, and on the other hand, there is a heavy sense of guilt. This complex and opposing emotion is like a pair of big hands, tearing his whole person apart.
If one considers the torment of waiting for the imminent sin, Mr. Lieutenant General has a reason to come here and drink drunk, and perhaps only by getting himself drunk will he not have to endure that torment and torment.
In this way, what kind of demeanor does he want, and what kind of solemnity does he talk about.
Tang Fang was reluctant to talk to him about such a heavy topic, so he tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Compared to you now, I would rather see the nasty ghost who kept asking where my fleet was yesterday...... Did you know that it is rude to peddle into someone's secrets? ā
Dalton? Evelyn took another sip of wine and sighed as she looked out the window at the depths of space, "I'm sorry. ā
He said it very seriously, very seriously, but Tang Fang only noticed the strong smell of wine, felt slightly uncomfortable, and frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, I'll try to minimize the damage." After saying this, he shook his head with a wry smile, thinking that he had not improved Dalton's pain, but was affected by the other party, and his heart seemed to be blocked by a big stone.
The bottle was turned sideways, and the orange liquid rolled up a beautiful wave on the walls of the glass, making a tinkling collision, followed by a crisp hiccup from the old drunkard.
Tang Fang felt a little pity, thinking that this bottle of brandy from Solomon's Winery was probably the most expensive wine in Mr. Lieutenant General's collection, but the wedding wine that should have been used to celebrate the victory was used to borrow wine to drown his sorrows. Should I say extravagant, or wasteful, or sad?
Let's go, there's no point in being here with a sadness...... Thinking of this, he turned around and walked outside, leaving Dalton alone? Evelyn continued to drink sullenly...... Perhaps, it would be a relief to let him get drunk.
Dalton eventually drank the bottle of brandy and collapsed drunk in the capsule. To Tang Lin's disappointment, he didn't see the Vice Admiral's drunken appearance, the old man slept like a dead pig after getting drunk, and didn't even snore, so he could only arrange for the crew to send him back to the captain's room of the Morrowind to rest.
The next morning, he reverted to his usual steady and sophisticated appearance, as if the drunken and unconscious guy yesterday was not him, but another irrelevant person.
Tang Fang didn't find a chance to joke with him, because Morrowind soon received a distress call from the Gambis star system, which represented the arrival of the Deep Diver fleet and the unfolding of death and destruction. (To be continued.) )
