Chapter 537: The dove occupies the magpie's nest

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 an order to "let go" from the fleet command, and the fleet command did not even show their faces, as if this was their chassis, not the home of the "Morning Star", as if Captain Tang was an insignificant small character. It is not worth the personal reception of the generals of the command.

This can be called arrogant or premeditated.

Yuffie was a little unhappy, and Joey next to her gritted his teeth with hatred, when he was in "Jakarta Pur" before, whether it was Newton? Bell, or Dalton? Evelyn. He was polite and courteous to him and Walton, but now on his own turf, he still has to act according to the colors 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 pulled out of her arms. Very strictly, he 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 the "Christel", and a Longsword-class frigate sailed out of the shadows. Is it Arsen? Nicholas sent the ship to pick up the crowd.

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

Because both space stations in the high-altitude orbit of "Christel" have been destroyed. Jian Chen, Stephen? The pirate fleet led by Su can only be anchored 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, and they simply moved their headquarters to "Dillard", while unconditionally helping "Morning Star Casting" and "Daystar Pharmaceutical" to clean up the battlefield. In carrying out rescue work, we have stepped up the construction of a space station for military purposes and laid 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 put by the 44th Fleet are like two large nets, firmly wrapping "Christiel" in the middle. Harris's Legion of Doom or Albert, Whitebeard, and the other pirates will inevitably 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? Su said a lot more today than usual, because he couldn't tear his sister apart, what the hell was Tang Fang doing 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." ”

Stephen? As a veteran conspiracy theorist, Sue thought that on the one hand, it was impossible for a smart person like Captain Tang to 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 ask Yasen? Nicholas explained, but asked Chen Jian, who was in charge of intelligence gathering, "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. Three of the patrols remaining in Dillard were also caught off guard and sunk by the First Fleet of the Legion of Doom. 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?" ”

Jian Chen was about to tell him on the way to come, when suddenly, the door to the bridge of the Headless Horsemann opened. Sheridan and Ruskin stepped 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? Su felt that these two guys must have a grudge against those who died, otherwise, why did their bones not cold, these two bastards still laughed 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 and took two hard sips. Make 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 don't have to worry about the situation in the industrial park, and it is impossible to investigate and deal with any mistakes, but some staff members and the newly arrived Sulu and Mongolian workers are inevitably afraid." In the past few days, some people have approached me, hoping to see them off. ”

"Just send them away." Tang Fang waved his hand: "The old saying is good. Real gold must be refined by fire, and only those who dare to stay after the disaster can be trusted. ”

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

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

When did Ruskin come to Stephen? Sue was beside him, his hands crossed and folded. Intentionally or unintentionally, he said, "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 was furious when he heard this. 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 was very reasonable, not only could he not beat him, even if he added Chen Jian and Yasen? Nicholas, wins and loses up to 55 opens, 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 Covenant Navy, Pompeii? Clarke. ”

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.

Pompey? Clark didn't care about Captain Tang's mental state, and he didn't care about the loss of the "Christier" industrial park, he connected the "Morningstar" 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.

"Commander-in-Chief of the Ayaros-Coplin-Slandar Theater of Operations of the Alliance Navy, David? Order of Admiral Conan. In order to ensure that 'Dillard' is not harassed 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 will 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, and you only need to engage in commercial production with peace of mind for the days to come. The Covenant Navy will protect your personal safety. ”

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 looked down on the profit-seeking businessmen who drilled everywhere, and he also looked down on the sinister, cunning, long-sleeved politicians. I think these people are lazy, greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't have any manhood, but they are just a group of villains who play with power, and they will be 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 subtle, he is a businessman. is somewhat involved in political attributes, and at the same time is a foreigner. If it weren't for the words he said on SNS and TV at the beginning, His Excellency 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 thought that he was a soldier who took it as his duty to defend the people and his duty 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 like Tang Fang, he will only show off his scheming. The ground rat who plays tricks on power 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." Pompey? Clark was not annoyed by this sentence, of course people with status would not bother with 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 yΓ n? 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." ”

Stephen? The piece of skin under Su'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 and homely, in the bridge of the "Independence Day", the flagship of the 44th Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy, Pompeii? Clark stepped down from the captain's seat, looked at an Asian woman much younger than him, 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 deputyβ€”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. (To be continued......)
