"It's not a small trouble." Marion smiled bitterly: "I don't know if my name will not only appear on the wanted list of the empire in the future, but also be on the blacklist of the Charles Federation, of course, those eleven guys are afraid that they will also part ways with me." ”

"So strict." Tang Fang's heart sank, and there was a trace of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Marion, in order to befriend himself, or repay his kindness, the sacrifice made by the old Viking was too great.

Alas, their own abilities are still insufficient, if there are battle patrols, swarms, and even the Golden Fleet now, why should they wander, as long as they follow their ass, what Imperial Fleet, what Charles Federation.

"You don't have to feel guilty." Thinking that seeing the apology in Tang Fang's eyes, Marion smiled and said: "We all owe you a life, there is no way to repay it, kill Gabrires and get out of the custody of the Charles Federation, this matter I have wanted to do for a long time, but I have never been able to make up my mind." ”

"I'm sure you can see that the Garcia Resistance is just a bunch of cannon fodder who can give up at any time in the eyes of the Charles Federation. What did the comrades get in exchange for spilling their blood and sacrificing their lives? Nothing. In the eyes of Charles, the rebels are nothing more than a tool, and in wartime, use us to drag the empire back. If in the end, the two sides will stop fighting and make peace, I am afraid that those hypocritical and cunning politicians will use us as a bargaining weight in exchange for certain benefits. ”

"For more than 20 years, watching those young people who pursue dignity and freedom go one after another, die on the battlefield and die in the starry sky, their struggle, their sacrifice is just to make a wedding dress for the Charles Federation. I don't want to watch this scene anymore. Seeking skin with the tiger is by no means our way out. ”

Tang Fang was silent for a while before he nodded: "I hope that we will meet again one day in the future, perhaps, at that time, you don't have to wander around anymore......"

"I'm sure there will come a day." Marion stared at Tang Fang's side face reflected in the window, and said very seriously.

"By the way, I'm curious, how did your fleet evade the outer guard posts of the Aslam star system?" Tang Fang's gaze paused on several old warships on the dock, and he suddenly asked.

The old Viking squeezed his eyes at him, and smiled and sold a pass: "Ming ** will know." ”

……

The next day, at 8:00, after eating the Chinese breakfast carefully prepared for him by the fleet chef, Tang Fang took Aros and Hauson to the Starport command center, talked with Vice Admiral Nord for a while, Marion arrived, and then walked out of the command center with the three of them and took the tram to the area of the military port dock.

After getting off the bus in Area A, Nord led a few people into a trestle connecting passage next to a berth.

"Look, this is the spaceship I have for you." Old Viking pointed out the window to a 200-meter-long warship with a narrow front and a wide back, a trident in the tail, and a group of three small auxiliary thrusters under the belly of the hull and said: "This is the latest lightning python-class destroyer of the Charles Federation, with a set of twin 200mm orbital cannons on each string, a deep space torpedo launch system on the tail, and a 120MM rapid gun array distributed in the shape of plum blossoms under the hull. ”

"Electromagnetic force field generator, shipborne optical quantum radar, central computer, fire control radar array, liftable solar panels, zero element engine with warp speed level up to 6.5, intelligent navigation module, fully automatic UAV take-off and landing facilities......"

"This ...... It's too valuable, I just need a frigate. Tang Fang didn't expect that the old Viking would directly give him a Charles Federation's latest destroyer, in fact, this operation only needs a small frigate with warp speed jumping ability, and even a space shuttle.

Nord smiled: "This is still valuable? If it weren't for me and Virginia blocking you, the general would have wanted to send you a cruiser. Considering that you are going to the hinterland of the empire, the cruiser is too large and a little too ostentatious, so after considering all aspects, I decided to give you this 'Morning Star'. ”

Outside the window, the starlight of the battleship's two strings was spray-painted with a silvery glow under the starport searchlight.

"Too ostentatious?" The corners of Tang Fang's mouth twitched a few times: "Wandering around the hinterland of the empire with a battleship of the Charles Federation, isn't this a swagger?" ”

Nord and Marion looked at each other and smiled. Old Viking ignored his words and pointed to the connecting cabin at the end of the trestle corridor: "Let's go, go inside." ”

"It's a mystery." Tang Fang muttered, beckoned to the two behind him, and followed Nord towards the "Morning Star".

"Ahh When some of the staff saw Marion coming, they shouted "General" and then stopped to salute.

And when it was Tang Fang's turn, they changed their title and used the phrase "captain". This can't help but make his vanity, who has only been able to experience space travel in video games for more than 20 years, really have a captain's addiction.

"The back is the power cabin, the left front is the lookout deck, and the right side is the crew rest area, which is the arsenal, and the elevator hall ......" As he walked forward, Nord introduced the various areas of the battleship.

About 5 minutes later, several people took an elevator and went up to the bridge, and as soon as the hatch opened, a female crew member saw Tang Fang behind Marion and immediately shouted to the two dozen operators on the bridge: "Captain has arrived." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone hurriedly stood up and looked back, while Tang Fang was stunned after seeing the faces of several of them: "Grant, Walton, Joey, Nehemey, why are you all here?" Then, in front of the battleship defense equipment control platform, he saw the Churchill who belonged to the Trothnier Garrison and had black hair on his chest.

Grant stepped forward and smiled, "Why am I there?" How can you drive such a big destroyer, and there are only three of you? You know, I'm a person with a driver's license. ”

Tang Fang turned his head to look at Marion, and saw that he was smiling and nodding to himself, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart, and said, "Old man, thank you." ”

Grant is right, although there are a large number of machine gunners in the system space, and there are nurses in the system, but the equipment of the StarCraft Terrans is obviously very different from the Charles Federation battleship, and it is by no means possible to achieve it overnight if they learn the technique of piloting the "Morning Star". Marion did this, the meaning is very clear, that is, he wants Grant and others to follow him.

Choosing between a group of strange crew members and acquaintances, I believe that few people will choose the former. With Grant and their assistance, his position on the ship will be more stable, and the cohesion of the crew will be stronger.

"They all follow you voluntarily, and I just obey the will of the people." Marion stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Next, Tang Fang exchanged a few words of greetings with Nehemiah, Walton, and others. Vice Admiral Nord stepped forward: "Aren't you worried that the battleship is too ostentatious?" Come on, I'll show you something good. ”RS
