Chapter 1012: Victory ...... It's actually sad
Since the outbreak of the war, the Star Alliance Navy has been working hard from top to bottom, but due to the big gap in actual combat experience, it has suffered one defeat after another, and finally even the Caryland star system has been lost. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info they yearn for victory from the bottom of their hearts, hoping to release their long-suppressed feelings through a victory, and now they ...... The moment has finally arrived. Mackintosh with his fleet, like a dog with a broken hind legs, fled back to the rear positions in great disarray.
"Thank God." Some people prayed reverently and kissed the dog tag on the palm of their hand with their lips, as if it were not a small piece of iron, but a sacred cross that held spirit and faith.
Some atheists scoffed at this, "You should be thankful for Captain Don from Dillard, not an ethereal god." ”
The man opened his eyes and looked at him, revealing a deeply disapproving expression, and said reverently, "Lord, thank you for bringing Tang Fang to the Star Alliance, and thank you for bringing him to us...... Praise you for your kindness, praise you for your greatness. ”
The atheist's face was a little ugly: "......"
There were many who burst into tears, for the dead, for the living, for the Covenant, for the victory......
There are also many cheerful guys who try to send their thanks to the Seraph, but are stopped by their superiors.
After Tang Fang put away the air force of the three clans, he changed from a participant to a spectator, sitting in the cockpit of the Seraph, watching the Star Alliance Navy regain lost ground, drive the Monya Navy battleship out of the Rutonado star system, and recapture their own front.
Let? Johnson vs. Wahid? Kgman and others sent a request for a telegram inviting him to the No. 2 military port for an interview, but he temporarily dismissed it with the argument that "military affairs are important, and it is not too late for the two sides to meet after arranging all matters first, anyway, the battle is over, and there is a lot of time."
In fact, he didn't do it like Jean? Johnson and others think it is out of good intentions. What prompted Captain Don to do so was that the conflict between Cathy and Freya finally broke out.
When the two met for the first time, they looked at each other unpleasantly. Cathy hates the strong Ipsi dragon atmosphere on Xiao Nizi, and Xiao Nizi's idea is even more bizarre------ Tang Fang can have her a "power bank", she will never allow the guy who looks like a super-sized particle massage bang to steal her job. Also, the Seraphic Angel is hers, just like Tang Fang, and will never allow the female Elants to get involved.
Tang Lin didn't expect that Cathy just took advantage of her coquettish kung fu in Tang Fang's arms to use the Seraphic to blow up several Mengya naval warships, and Xiao Nizi was like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, and the fur all over her body exploded.
Not only did he look confused, but Captain Tang's expression was also very exciting, as if he didn't expect Xiao Nizi's reaction to be so intense.
Zhou Ai and Claire did not fight for a boyfriend, but Miss Freya was threatened because of the position of the "power bank", and showed deep hostility towards Cathy.
Tang Fang didn't want outsiders to know about Cathy's existence for the time being, and he didn't want others to see Miss Freya fighting with the National People's Congress because of the "power bank" problem, so he refused to let him? Request from Johnson et al. While the Covenant Navy was chasing Monya's ship, he was dealing with civil unrest, which he thought was more tiring than fighting Mackintosh's fleet.
Tang Lin's temperament is a little stuffy, but he is not stupid, knowing that this kind of bad thing is better to leave it to the eldest brother to worry about his brains, in order to avoid embarrassment, he found an excuse to leave the Seraph, and took a shuttle to the airspace where the flagship of the 79th Fleet was located, ready to find Dalton? Evelyn talks about life, talks about ideals, and asks for a cup of tea by the way...... It is said that the old guy was drinking tea and tasting tea, and he was quite accomplished.
I don't know how long it took, until Captain Tang fed the little girl with something peculiar to boys, and swore that she was her only and favorite power bank, that Miss Freya quieted down like a full-bodied cat, and no longer bothered about Cathy's threat.
After the backyard fire was dealt with, he turned his attention back to the starry battlefield and found that the Covenant's tugboats and engineering ships were cleaning up large pieces of wreckage scattered in space, many hospital boats were coming in and out of the damaged warship harbor, and the combat ships were carrying out prisoner containment and patrol missions to stabilize the situation and defend against possible dangers.
Learned that Jean? Johnson and the others have not yet finished dealing with the military affairs at hand, only the commander of the 79th Fleet, Dalton? Evelyn was not assigned and was receiving Donlin. So I decided to go to the No. 2 military port to meet this old friend.
When the Morning Star first arrived in the Tianchao region, there was a friction with the local government in the Bul star system in Jakarta. As the commander of the garrison navy, Evelyn did not agree to Clement's request to open fire, saved from a major war, and joined the 79th Fleet after the Star Alliance became at odds with Monya and Sulu, and came to the forefront of the war to carry out his patriotic will to the end.
For this kind of character, Tang Fang has admiration, not to mention that he is an old man, so he is naturally happy to go over to meet and chat.
At his command, the Seraphic slowly turned and flew to the airspace where the No. 2 military port was located.
Because of the ownership of the Rutonado star system, the war was extremely brutal, and the void was filled with many tiny wrecks and even frozen human corpses. The Rutonado star system originally had 5 military ports, but after this battle, only 3 are still operating, and the nearby battleship docks were dismembered by artillery fire and lost their effectiveness, so most of the warships under the Star Alliance Navy could only be parked in space, and a few seriously damaged ships were allowed to enter the military ports for repairs.
Of course, the Seraphs would not be subject to this rule, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he ordered Cathy to wait on the ship, and he himself took Freya to the entrance of the No. 2 military port in the Protoss transport plane.
After some time, the transport plane flew into the military port and landed on the tarmac that had just been emptied, and the two of them got out of the cabin, and found that Dalton was not waiting for them outside, and asked the officers who came to pick them up, only to know that His Excellency the Commander had something to do with him temporarily, and he could not get out, and hoped that he and Miss Freya would forgive him.
Tang Fang naturally wouldn't be upset about such a trivial matter, waved his hand lightly, signaled that he didn't care, and told the officer who picked up the plane to take him to Dalton and Tang Lin's location to wait. The pick-up officer hesitated, but nodded, and invited the two to get on a maglev car and head towards the interior of the military port.
In fact, the place where Dalton and Tang Lin are located is not far from the tarmac, and it is only a few minutes away. It wasn't until the maglev stopped in the parking area that the two got out of the car and saw the scene in front of him that he knew why the officer who picked up the airport hesitated, and only then did he know what was more important than Captain Tang, which made Dalton dare to snub himself.
It was a very painful place, a depressing scene. In the small hall, there stood side by side a dozen Covenant soldiers in military uniforms, white gloves, and spears, who did not squint and quietly stared ahead. Officers with Covenant flags stood on the right side of the hall, and Dalton stood in front of the soldiers, his right hand on his forehead, saluting the soldiers who came across the passageway.
As a lieutenant general, he certainly saluted not the first-class soldiers, but the fallen soldiers they carried.
The four privates carrying the stretcher walked slowly through the area where the gunmen were and walked to Dalton. At this moment, he raised his hand, motioned for them to pause, arranged their hats and uniforms as a sign of respect, and walked over to the stretcher.
The fallen soldier was covered with the Star Alliance flag, which was new and spotless, with a small delicate flower on it.
Dalton stretched out his slightly rough hand, pinched the corner of the flag, and slowly lifted it, revealing the pale faces of the fallen soldiers and the brand-new military uniforms.
"James...... Thank you for your dedication to this country and hope that you can have a peaceful life in another world. ”
After speaking, he took off the badge representing the Medal of Loyalty and Courage on the medal on his chest, and gently pinned it to the uniform of the fallen soldier, "These honors are what you have paid for with your lives...... You are more qualified than I am to wear them. ”
After saying these words in a very low voice, he put the flag back on, took two steps back, saluted again, and watched as the four privates of the first class carried stretchers into the connecting passage on the other side. At the end of the line is a ship dedicated to transporting the remains of soldiers, who will take them away from the front line and back to the place where they grew up, always accompanied by green mountains and green grass.
Tang Fang noticed that there were already a lot of vacancies in his medals, and he didn't think it was the first time he had done so.
Tang Lin stood not far from the hall, saw Tang Fang coming over, whispered hello, and greeted him, "I really regret coming with him, if I know that this is the case, it is better to stay in the room and continue to drink tea." ”
Although he pretended to be calm and explained his unwise behavior in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, his reddish eyes still betrayed his mood at this moment.
"Actually...... It's also a cup of tea, just a little bitter. Tang Fang stared at Dalton's back for a while, and did not let the officer who picked up the plane to remind him, so he chose to leave here and go to the rest room arranged by the military to wait.
Leaving the place where the bodies of the dead soldiers were transported, they returned to the lounge where Tang Lin and Dalton had stayed under the leadership of the officer who picked them up, and sure enough, they saw teacups, teapots, tea washers, tea trays, tea mats and other utensils needed to cook kung fu tea on the table.
The tea soup in the cup has been drunk, the spout is still steaming with hot smoke, and there is a light fragrance of tea in the wind, diluting the heaviness and sadness that permeates the heart, making people have a feeling of returning to calm.
The officer who picked up the plane looked at the tea set on the table, and his face was embarrassed, because these things were only used by Dalton, and no one else could get them. So there was a hesitation in preparing coffee or continuing to cook tea, not knowing how to deal with the three Tang Fang, so as not to snub the VIPs who helped them achieve victory.
For this lovely pick-up officer, Tang Fang shook his head with a smile, pointed to the tea set on the table, and said, "Don't bother, I'll come by myself." As the old saying goes, I've never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run......"
The officer who picked up the airport didn't know what the second half of the sentence meant, but he understood the first half of the sentence and couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being stupid. As a descendant of the Han nation, how could Captain Tang not know anything about drinking tea, but it was a bit rude to let the VIP cook and drink by himself, but unfortunately he really didn't understand this, so he could only nod, say sorry, sit down in the chair by the door, and accompany the two to say something about the battle just now.
This officer, who was a few years older than Tang Fang, was obviously not a quiet person, and began to talk endlessly, from thanking Tang Fang for his help to the Star Covenant Navy, to the shocking combat power of those Golden Flying Swallows and suspected Ipsi Dragon battleships, to the bullying of the Mengya Navy against the Star Alliance Navy these days...... The bamboo tube poured beans like a brain.
Tang Lin heard this with a painful brain, thinking that this guy's maturity and stability just now were all pretended, and it turned out that there was a hot heart under the serious appearance, and one person actually told him and his eldest brother both of them.
Just when the officer took out the small notebook in his pocket and was about to ask Captain Tang for a few autographs as gifts for his son and the dear soldiers, Dalton? Evelyn's presence interrupted his movements, like a spring bamboo that suddenly straightened from a bend, and suddenly became upright, and the lively expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a non-smiling smile.
Tang Lin was stunned, and Tang Fang was also stunned, thinking that if this guy went to acting, maybe he would be able to make a name for himself and become a soldier...... It's really condescending, and it's a shame that he can follow a calm, mature person like Dalton, and not be driven crazy by that serious atmosphere.
Out of respect for the old man and the landlord, the two got out of their seats and smiled at Dalton, who was walking slowly outside the door.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be there in person." The first thing Mr. Lieutenant General said when he walked into the room was to apologize for his slow treatment of Tang Fang.
Tang Fang didn't care what he said, his eyes fell on the left chest of the military uniform, there should have been a matrix distribution, different colors and patterns of medals, but now it was empty, for a senior general of the army, he always felt that something was missing, very awkward.
The officer who received the airport secretly stuffed the booklet in his palm into his trouser pocket, saluted Dalton first, and then politely owed the two of them as a sign of farewell, and turned to leave the room.
"What an old guy who buys people's hearts." It is undeniable that Tang Fang's words are very mean.
However, Dalton? Evelyn didn't care, just stunned, then shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It turns out that you saw it." I just want to face their sacrifice with the utmost respect...... You know, as an old man, it is a desperate thing to see off those young people who should be swaying their youth and sweat in the sun...... They are not machines, they are not stubborn stones, they are once incomparably vivid and lively beings, but at this moment, they have become cold corpses without breath and heat...... Many times, I refuse to acknowledge this harsh reality and cannot even forgive myself. ”
It can be seen that what happened just now touched him a lot, although the surface is serious, although the eyes are calm, but the bitter water in his heart, like a bubbling spring, keeps arching upward. (To be continued.) )
