Chapter Thirty-Nine: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Baihui Hall, few people.
"Arya not coming?" Lan Yongxu finally had the opportunity to speak first.
Yuan Fengying sat down slowly while answering, a face that is usually well maintained, but today it is loose and collapsed for some reason, like a deflated ball: "She said that she only wants to devote herself to scientific research, and she doesn't understand or want to ask about things at the management level." ”
"So, just a few of us?" Like Lan Yongxu, the chairman of science and technology finally had the opportunity to speak. The three of them glanced at each other, the Führer was dead, the Treasurer was also dead, the former Chairman of the Human Resources was removed from his post and arrested and imprisoned, the Governor General of Military Affairs was killed, and the Chairman of the Information Center was dismissed. Indeed, there were only three of them left.
"And me!"
With the voice, it was the new intelligence governor Bai Chongrui who opened the door together. "It seems that the people of the home planet have begun to accept the fact of defeat?"
"You just came back from the front? Is the data really accurate? What kind of technology do the Carmon people use, and is there any clue? ”
"100% exactly, as for what technology, intelligence officers behind enemy lines are investigating. But it's not easy, this thing should be kept secret to their god-king level. I'll let you know anytime you have an eyebrow. ”
"How's the defense on the front line?" Lan Yongxu began to care about military affairs.
"There were too few defenders of Pingzu Pass, and they only lasted less than a day before they broke. The topography of Pearl Harbor is better, and it can last at least another 7 days. ”
"Seven days?" All three shouted at the same time, unable to believe their ears.
"Well, 7 days is an optimistic estimate. Originally, I didn't plan to make a trip myself, but I'm afraid you won't believe me, so I'm going to tell you in person. There is not much time left for the Blue Domain, so hurry up and choose the head of state and make a plan. ”
Lan Yongxu and the chairman of the board of directors of science and technology glanced at each other, and then spoke first, "According to the usual practice, this needs to be discussed by the people and the parliamentarians. But now everyone outside wants to make that Gaia bandit king. ”
"Don't call other people bandits anymore, I think this person is more reliable than all of us. Moreover, without our discussion, the spontaneous vote of the people has already been counted in the voting machine. ”
"Without further ado, the two worlds will merge and share troops, ecology, and energy resources, and there may be hope for turning defeat into victory."
"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Seeing that no one thought of promoting himself, Lan Yongxu fell directly to Dewey, who was most likely to become the Führer.
The letter "On Inviting Führer Dewey to Concurrently serve as the Head of the Blue Domain" was sent in the name of the Blue Zone Council, with the results of the vote of more than 90% of the people - completely reasonable and legal, as long as Dewey agreed, he would naturally become the general leader of the two worlds.
"Is that okay?"
When Dewey received this invitation, he was piloting the Falcon to inspect Gaia's defenses. Since Arya left, he has automatically taken over the task of "helping Hanis recover his memory".
Funnick, who was mutated into Hanes, woke up and was "invited" to Dewey's side by the enthusiastic guards who had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Listening to this Gaia chief, there is a word of talk about the past that he doesn't know if it's true or not.
At first, Funnick was more pleased, thinking that the leader was a bastard, and that it would be easier to obtain information around a person of this level, so he gladly accepted this "good habit", sometimes even uninvited.
However, the more time we spent together, the more Fournick realized that this was not the case. The Führer, as if he had known that he was a spy, did not shy away from discussing a series of "major decisions" with him on the surface.
But the perceptive Funnick talked about it several times before he found out that these so-called "major decisions" had already been decided in the Führer's mind before he consulted with him. And these decisions are similar: whether to send troops to capture Haike Yingzhou, whether to send troops to Pearl Harbor, whether to divide troops to the home galaxy, and this time, whether to serve as the head of the Blue Domain, these questions are just to discuss with him when making decisions, and as for the results of the decisions, they never tell Funnick.
Funnick asked tentatively, "So how many troops did you send to Pearl Harbor?" ”
The other party replied casually: "No, not for the time being." Then he asked with a look of surprise: "Why do you have so much to do with the issue of troops?" Arrange a commander for you? ”
Funnick also quietly understated the past. But there was still a secret shock in his heart, he was already convinced that this Führer was not so arrogant and talked about everything on the surface, but deliberately disguised himself as such a rough man and waited for him to leak his flaws.
Today, as if he didn't know which tendon was wrong, the Führer had to drag himself to inspect the defense. Gaia Defense, how sensitive the issue, Fournick feels that he can't be too enthusiastic, but he can't refuse too deliberately. So, prevaricating: "Is it necessary? I don't know anything about military affairs! ”
At this time, Dewey lied to him again without blinking: "You don't understand military affairs? You don't know that you used to be a military expert, and you got me the position of the leader of Gaia. ”
Where can Funnick believe his nonsense, assuming that he really follows this nonsense and packages himself as a military expert, then he will be fooled, so he can only prevaricate: "Then I may have forgotten." ”
"Oh? It stands to reason that if you lose your memory, you won't lose some skills. Let's go, you help me drive the battleship, let's try these skills and forget it. ”
"Or don't, where will I fly a battleship?"
Fortnik knows Hanes well, and it stands to reason that he doesn't know how to fly a battleship.
Dewey did take Fortnik to inspect the defense, but this time, the captain disguised himself as a wind-chasing boy who showed off his piloting skills, and the Falcon's complete route planning and autopilot functions were all blocked, and the whole process was manually controlled to the limit. This captain, who is not tall and small, can withstand such a powerful acceleration, which shocked Funnick, who has mutated from the lionman.
The battleship flew flat against the surface of the planet for a while, shuttled back and forth into the meteorite stream for a while, and jumped back and forth into the arming fleet like a ping-pong ball.
Funnick couldn't see anything clearly, the only thing he could see was that the captain was driving, while aiming at himself from time to time, Funnick knew that at this time, he must not show too much curiosity about these unsightly deployments, so he could only learn from ordinary Blue Domain people, pretending to be dizzy by the acceleration of the battleship, and also trying his best to show a look of disinterest in armoring.
The question of "do you want to be the head of Gaia" was asked when the captain was tired and stopped the battleship close to the surface of the fifth orbital gas planet.
"The overall arrangement of resources is still excellent!" Funnick tries to keep talking as little as possible, and the more he talks, the more loopholes he has. Instead, he looked out the window, and on the surface of the planet, the brown-red storm vortex was like a demon's eye, and when you gazed at him, he stared back at you.
Dewey poured two full glasses of hot water, one on the bridge to cool and one to Hanes. Hanes got up and took the hot potato, sipping it in his mouth to hide his embarrassment.
The two of them looked side by side at the behemoth outside the ship, the dark red on the surface like blood flowing on the surface of the body. Dewey controlled the rudder of the battleship with one hand, increased the load on the engine to resist the strong gravitational pull, and skimmed the surface of the planet at low speed.
"Is there any other way to intercept a faster-than-light warship than to predict its trajectory and launch missiles to destroy it in his path?"
"Preset force field barriers? Changing the trajectory and then using the gravitational capture of a superstar? ”
"It's going to have to be conditional, it's a big project. If, to achieve lossless interception, what is the solution? ”
Asking this, Funnick already knew that this guy was playing his own words again, it seemed that this person did not have ordinary doubts about his identity, and even suspected that the real Hanes was still alive now. So, pretending to be confused, he answered.
"If you have supreme control, you can remotely control the battleship to turn around and land."
Dewey frowned: "Suppose this battleship is launched in the opposite direction from the remote control signal or there are other base stations that can transmit control signals on the route of the battleship, it should be easy for him to turn around." But if a faster-than-light battleship is in front and the control signal is transmitted, how can the signal catch up with the battleship? ”
What Dewey said was actually the doubt in his heart: if the Hanes in front of him was fake, then how did the Carmons get his genome and copy him.
Funnick was a fuel-efficient lamp, and Dewey's intentions were immediately apparent. But he's thinking about how to speak so that he can make sense. Pretending to look out the window, the planet's huge gravitational pull has urged the battleship to push the reverse forward widely, and the planet's fury can only show its power at the moment of approaching it.
Dewey skillfully controlled the safety distance, on the one hand, to prevent the gravitational pull from falling too much, and on the other hand, to prevent the rays from the engine from igniting the entire planet.
Seeing that the other party was slow to speak, Dewey asked again: "I often wonder if there is a faster battleship in front of this battleship, can we manipulate the force field and reverse propulsion energy of that battleship to achieve the purpose of forced interception and slowdown." ”
Funnick smiled and met Dewey's sharp gaze: "This is simply impossible, with so many variables, the battleship computer has no time to control the command, unless someone assists the computer in changing the instructions, but who can survive with such a high acceleration?" ”
"Yes! Who can survive in super acceleration and super distorted space. I haven't seen it in the Blue Domain, but I've seen the third prince of the Carmon people have such a set of force field protective suits. Also, Carmon's Couristaville doesn't need protection or sleep at all! ”
Dewey's gentle words had a knife hidden in them, and every step of the way had already made Funnick retreat into a corner, his heartstrings tense. The hint was obvious, but Funnick tried his best to keep his face under control, not to avoid or panic in the slightest, and an unprecedented sense of unease appeared in the heart of this brilliant orc scout.
"Maybe the bug people have a different physique from us, or maybe the Kamon people have some technology beyond our imagination. These are things that I can't even imagine. ”
"Well, unimaginable? Maybe when you regain your memory, you might be able to recall. Dewey said as he turned to face the rudder, the battleship had reached the limit of the planet's safe distance, and he was about to drive the battleship back, "Let's go to the next place." ”
As he spoke, Dewey snapped his fingers with his right hand, and the moment he turned around, his arm happened to knock over the glass of water on the table. Dewey was shocked by the hot water spilling onto the countertop, and his left hand controlling the rudder quickly let go to pick up the fallen water glass. But the glass didn't catch it, but it hit Dewey and fell to the ground, turning into broken glass slag all over the floor.
The loud noise frightened the nervous Funnick again, and just wanted to go over to help Dewey, but with a glance of his eyes, he saw that the battleship had deviated far from orbit and began to fall towards the planet at high speed. The dark red "Demon Eye" is about to devour the battleship.
The instinctive reaction allowed Fournick to snatch the rudder and manipulate the Falcon's engine pressure vent to the extreme to release energy by grazing the surface of the star's edge. After a shake of the battleship, it made an arcing trajectory to escape the strong gravitational pull of the planet.
After the completion of a set of maneuvers, Funik realized that this set of manual maneuvering of the battleship was not something that any person could do, let alone something that Hanes should be able to do.
Looking at Dewey, the other party didn't seem to realize the problem, but wiped the water droplets off his body, and cast a grateful look with a smile on his face: "Thanks to pulling you out!" ”
