Chapter 577: Intercepted
"Adjusting the layout of the defense line is a big matter, and I must consult with the staff officers of the headquarters and consult with the commanders of the border defense line of Monya and the Star Alliance before I can decide whether to move forward."
As I had thought before, this meeting was just to test the young man, and he would not make any substantive commitments.
Tang Fang left the seat, walked to the opposite communication equipment control platform under the puzzled gaze of Mie Nakamura, inserted a piece of digital jΓΉ chip into the universal interface, walked back to its original position, and said, "This is my greeting gift." β
Gift? At this time, take out the greeting gift? Does he need to prepare a greeting gift? Isn't the Mubarak thing a welcome gift?
Mie Nakamura stared at his face blankly, feeling speechless.
David? Conan didn't speak, waited for the number to be transmitted, temporarily suspended the conversation, and left the holographic projection device scanning range.
Freya lay on the conference table like a cartilage worm, her delicate fingers swiped over the table, flipping over and over again, "Tang Fang big villain, ignore me", "Tang Fang big villain, ignore me......"
Tang Fang said: "Freya, what are you writing? β
Freya straightened up suddenly, full of energy, as if she was two completely different people from Fang Cai, and said, "Freya likes Tang Fang the most." β
"Really?" He looked at her, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"Okay." The little girl wilted instantly, like a child who made a mistake, bit her lip and said, "I'm writing...... Tang Fang is the big bad. After speaking, he suddenly became more reasonable: "Who told you to ignore me." β
Mie Nakamura looked at a man and a woman diagonally opposite, her mouth felt like she had drilled into countless fine sand, and she was extremely uncomfortable.
She really wanted to go over and remind them to be dignified, and to respect others is also to respect herself...... It's a pity she didn't dare. Pompey? Clark is a good example, the superwoman named Freya can't tolerate anyone else in her eyes except Tang Fang, and once she annoys her, she will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so she must endure it, endure it hard. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it.
This torment made her recall once again the fact that she was captured by the stronghold of the United Kingdom of Turax and retaliated by a Chinese soldier, and after 20 years, that feeling appeared again.
A few minutes later, David? Conan's figure reappeared at the conference table, soothing her torment.
However, when she saw the man who had carved out territory on her, she found that the torment had not eased, but had only been transferred from her to him...... It turned out that she was not the only one who was QJ by Captain Tang.
Of course. It's a QJ of will, because she knows David better than anyone? How helpless and melancholy the love in Conan's eyes was.
She was very curious about what Tang Fang had passed to him.
"That thing...... How did you get it? β
After asking this, David? Conan regretted it, because this was a very stupid question at all, it didn't matter how to get it, what mattered was how to eliminate its influence, or how to satisfy Tang Fang. Not to be pursued.
The data stored in the number jΓΉ chip is naturally Harrington? The details of the negotiations between Harris and Albert's emissaries and Nguyen Dinh Van can be described as direct evidence of the Covenant government's involvement in the "Dillard attack".
He wondered why Harrington hadn't destroyed it after the attack was successful. If it leaks out, it will not only damage the interests of the Star Alliance, but also benefit the Sulu Empire.
Of course, this was just the first reaction when he saw the video data, and later, he thought more about how to deal with this matter, once this film and television information was leaked. It will have more severe consequences than the earthquake in Babylon, even if the main responsibility for this incident can be shifted to "Daystar Pharmaceutical", and there will always be someone in the government and the military to be responsible.
On the parliamentary side, who will take the blame and resign, not to mention, the military's scapegoat is what he is most concerned about.
Collusion with Harrington? Harris's Legion of Doom carried out a sneak attack on "Dillard", which was a felony in the first place. What's more, the war between the Star Alliance and the Sulu Empire is imminent, and various media add fuel and vinegar to such propaganda, just afraid that they will deduct a crime of treason, and the handling will be light, and public opinion will not accept it, and it is inevitable to pick out a person with sufficient weight to bear it.
Who is the most important person in the Ayaros-Coplin-Slandal no-man's land of the Star Alliance, so needless to say, it is naturally him David? Conan.
This is enough to ruin people's reputation, he has almost dedicated his life to the Star Alliance Navy, if he is not guaranteed at the last moment, from the former hero to a traitor, I am afraid that he will die, and it will be difficult to look at Jiuquanxia.
Taking a step back, even if the target is another general, he will not be able to escape the responsibility of his majesty's laxity.
In fact, this is not the only effect, the soldiers will even lose their fighting spirit because of the dirtiness of the high-level, and before the war starts, they will develop a distrust of the command, causing irreparable consequences.
He finally figured out why Tang Fang wanted to meet with him.
It wasn't that he was tempting Captain Tang, it was Captain Tang who wanted to force the palace and force him to make a choice.
The 44th Fleet must retreat, and if it does not, it must retreat.
Moreover, this is only a small interest, he will become the messenger of Captain Tang, relay a qiΔ to those in the council, and even become an intermediary in a transaction.
An unfair trade......
Terry? Ferdinand's people thought that the "Dillard attack" incident could make that kid be honest, recognize the current situation, and make a suitable choice, otherwise, the government would have 10,000 ways to bring down the "Morning Star Casting".
But what is the result? The Night Legion was completely wiped out, and the Black Pearl Pirates were unlucky, and the Star Alliance even let him grab the pigtails.
David? Conan suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have listened to Terry in the first place? Ferdinand's flickering, cooperating with the Legion of Doom to launch a surprise attack on "Dillard", what happened now? I didn't steal it, but I made a fuss.
To put it bluntly, Tang Fang is now holding his life and the lives of many people.
"44th Fleet ......"
Tang Fang didn't mean to answer his stupid question at all, and when he spoke, he glanced at Mie Nakamura, who looked extremely unnatural, and smiled.
He smiled very softly, like a dog day breeze, which made people not feel a trace of coolness, on the contrary, it was very stuffy.
"I'll arrange for them to withdraw from 'Dillard' as much as possible."
Mie Nakamura was stunned after hearing this, and it took a long time to come back to her senses. More and more strange Tang Fang gave David? What Conan has seen, how to change the course and policy set by the command in just a few minutes.
Tang Fang nodded, and said, "Help me to Bilbohm, and Terry?" Ferdinand, Lu Yuankui and those people said, 'Dillard' is mine. β
He didn't hesitate in a non-negotiating tone. Say this very calmly.
The first half of this sentence is not the point, the second half is.
Mie Nakamura's face changed, and her originally dilated pupils quickly retracted, she never thought that he would be so simple and direct, and want to snatch the control of "Dillard" from the hands of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" and even the Star Alliance government.
This...... It's too arrogant, even if he has a strength comparable to the "Night Legion", he shouldn't be so careless. You must know that the person on the other side is the commander-in-chief of the no-man's land navy, and his subordinates control more than a dozen fleets and tens of thousands of warships.
But what puzzled her was, David? Conan didn't express his anger at this, but was helpless, and said in a low voice: "This is the real purpose of your meeting with me, right?" β
"Not bad."
"You're commanding my army."
"I'm not commanding your army, because you don't have the power to decide where 'Dillard' belongs, you're just a messenger."
"What if...... I mean if. What about those in the council, or Bierbohm who disagree? β
"You know the consequences."
ββ¦β¦β
David? Conan fell silent. He knew that the young man across from him could say it, and he could do it.
Mie Nakamura looked at the two of them who asked and answered, and her face became very exciting, David? Conan went from being mature and steady at the beginning to walking on thin ice, as if he was grabbing a pigtail, and became the target of Captain Tang's blackmail.
What's in that chip?
Tang Fang stood up and walked outside. Freya, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, cheered, hugged his arm from behind, and pressed her bulging chest on it, without any scruples about Mie Nakamura and David in the back? Conan.
In her eyes, they are all passers-by. Or the scenery on the horizon.
"Don't forget to tell them, there's a limit to my patience."
The security door closed, and the backs of the two disappeared from sight.
Mie Nakamura stood up, propped her hands on the table, and asked with a solemn expression, "What the hell is going on?" β
David? Conan was silent for a moment and replied, "It's none of your business. β
Her face changed, and she didn't expect Admiral David, who was close to her, to use such heavy words. On the average person, maybe he will be unhappy because of his tone, but Mie Nakamura doesn't think so, because some things are better than not knowing, David? Conan was protecting her.
"Are you really going to withdraw to the 44th Fleet?"
The wrinkled old man took a deep breath, then exhaled forcefully, his hand in the wheelchair habitually trembled a few times, and said, "I have no other choice but to do this." β
Mie Nakamura hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's ...... What to do with the military port under construction of 'Laxis'? β
David? Conan tilted his head back slightly, and said in a very weak tone, "Give it to him." β
Give it to him? Give it to Tang Fang?
The 44th Fleet worked day and night in "Dilar" for more than a month, and did not hesitate to seconded the soldiers and resources of the 53rd Fleet and the 42nd Fleet Engineering Department to build such a military port.
The military port, which was originally used for surveillance and threats, has now become a gift from the Star Alliance Navy to Captain Tang...... Such a thing is really ironic, the navy's face is simply disgraced, which is even more humiliating than the "Wuxian" being kicked away.
"Why?" For the first time, there was a fluctuation of emotion on her face.
"This is what we owe him."
"It's not what you said before."
"The environment is different now than it used to be."
"What's in that chip?"
"I said, that's none of your business."
David? Conan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the wheelchair under him spun slightly, leaving a back that was getting farther and farther away.
Mie Nakamura took a deep breath to calm her feelings, left the conference room, and walked towards the bridge in front.
She wasn't worried about Tang Fang and Freya, she was worried about Pompeii? Clarke.
But any man would not feel good to be insulted like that, not to mention that he was a general who thought highly of himself, and Freya was humiliating at all, even if it seemed to her to be a trivial matter.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Tang Fang and Freya left by the "Perseus". didn't go far, and was suddenly stopped by 3 Longsword-class frigates, and there were more than 10 air and space fighters accordingly.
There was no speech, no communication, the weapon was aimed directly at the fragile shuttle, and the thunder fired. Railgun projectiles burst out.
There is no doubt that this was a surprise attack, which can also be called an interception.
THE LONGSWORD-CLASS FRIGATE'S 120MM RAILGUN AGAINST A MIGRATORY BIRD-CLASS SHUTTLE THAT IS ONLY 23 METERS LONG AND IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH ANY WEAPON SYSTEM CAN BE IMAGINED.
Whether it was the gunner in charge of shooting, or the captain of 3 frigates, they all thought that the stupid boy who didn't know the height of the sky was dead.
The fact that he dared to fly a shuttle to the 44th Fleet's assembly site and to humiliate Rear Admiral Pompey on the "Perseus" was in itself an act of contempt for the 44th Fleet, and some fanatical radicals could not tolerate him.
They were all Pompeii's henchmen, and they were also the inheritors of the will of the country. Pompey couldn't do anything for various reasons, just because they would sit idly by and let that arrogant guy trample on the dignity of the Covenant Navy, for this reason, they did not hesitate to disobey the military order, willing to risk going to court-martial, and also to eliminate the pair of dog men and women.
Since the shuttle had just broken away from the ship group, it was not fast. There was no way to dodge the projectiles that were flying rapidly.
However, the explosion that everyone imagined did not happen. The projectiles seemed to hit the invisible wall and flew away, disappearing into the darkness of space.
Hundreds of meters in front of the migratory bird-class shuttle, a halo of water fluctuated, flashing and converging.
When the staff on the Longsword-class frigate came to their senses, the shuttle that should have been in the center of the big screen was gone.
And so it just vanished, before everyone's noses. Some people suspect that it has something to do with the halo, and some suspect that it is not an ordinary migratory bird-class shuttle at all.
At this moment, a row of silver crystals flew out of the void, skimming the night sky like moonlight elves, "kissing" on the side of the three Longsword-class frigates. Exploded into a dazzling fire.
The three Longsword-class frigates were torn apart by the violent explosion before they could tear apart their hulls and dismember large and small metal wreckage, moving farther and farther into the distance.
Those fighter pilots only felt cold hands and feet, and the sweat on their foreheads blinded their eyes, because they didn't know where the attack came from, and those silver-white crystals seemed to suddenly appear in this universe, swallowing up three Longsword-class frigates in the blink of an eye.
Just when they were at a loss, a Hummingbird-class aerospace fighter close to the capital ship group of the 44th Fleet was like an egg crashing into a stone, and the entire fuselage was shattered.
At the same time, the communication system came from the roar and questioning of the superior officers, asking them to explain why they attacked without authorization, and what happened to the explosion just now, what about the three Longsword-class frigates.
Obviously, the command system of the 44th Fleet did not know what was happening, but the three Longsword-class frigates suddenly disappeared from the radar system indicators, and there were no suspicious targets around them, which made them puzzled and shocked.
Officers at all levels of the command level did not know what was happening, and several fighter pilots also couldn't figure out where the attack came from, as if the other party could stealth, and the attack power was incredible, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the three Longsword-class frigates.
"Who sent you out? What about shuttles? What happened to the shuttle plane that Tang Fang was on? β
A woman's voice came over the communicator, and the source of the information was that it was the supreme commander of the fleet, and it was Mie Nakamura who personally inquired about the matter.
Several fighter pilots didn't know how to answer, and before launching the operation, they swore that they would humiliate Pompeii no matter what. Clark, the dog men and women who trampled on the dignity of the Star Alliance Navy were sent to hell, and they did not hesitate to pay any price for it, but the result was frustrating, the railgun projectile was blocked by something, the shuttle disappeared, and Lieutenant Colonel Bailey, who organized the operation, also died, and now Mie Nakamura asked about it, how should they answer?
On the bridge of the "Immortal", Mie Nakamura was pacing back and forth on the operational command platform anxiously, secretly saying that she was really worried about what was coming, ending with David? After Conan's conversation, she rushed to the bridge as soon as possible, instead of sending Tang Fang in person, in order to restrain the fleet from facing Pompey? Clark's loyal patriots went to trouble the two, but they didn't expect it to be too late......
In fact, deep down in her heart, on the one hand, she was afraid that Tang Fang would die, and on the other hand, she also hoped that he would die.
Although it is not known what information is stored in that number jΓΉ chip, but from David? It can be seen from Conan's pretentious attitude that he grabbed the pigtails of Mr. Admiral, and even the Covenant government, if he dies like this, maybe he can resolve a national crisis and save David? Conan is a great credit to her.
She was also worried about whether those people in the "Kristelle" Industrial Park would fight with the 44th Fleet after learning of Captain Tang's death, and whether the data in the chip would be backed up separately, and if it was leaked by Claire and Zhou Ai, it would cause immeasurable losses to the Star Alliance.
The wait was more nerve-wracking than any war she'd ever experienced, and her heart was beating almost twice as fast as usual.
But the "Martial Immortals" on Pompeii? Clark said that he didn't know, he didn't instruct anyone to raid the Tang side's shuttle, and he didn't know who dared to attack without obeying Major General Nakamura's orders, and such undisciplined guys must be severely punished when they return.
His words are not so much explanations as acting, because such official words and clichΓ©s are really inconsistent with him when they come out of his mouth, and there is no sincerity at all, more like schadenfreude. (To be continued......)
