Chapter 31: Ill-intentioned

"The speed of 150 knots, has been freed from the pursuit of the rebels, the course is corrected ......"

"Please count the losses of each ship immediately......"

"The fleet formation has begun to adjust, please pay attention to the change in your position ......"

The bridge was filled with busy voices, and everyone was trying to restore the fleet to normal order. Although everyone tried their best to make their voices appear calm and powerful, the panicked expressions on their faces did not completely disappear, after all, just a few dozen minutes ago, everyone was still the one who stepped into the ghost gate.

Shen Shan sat in his seat, his expression was very indifferent, as if the busyness around him had nothing to do with him.

Adjutant Tao Ji peeked at Shen Shan in his busyness, he had been following Shen Shan for a long time, and as long as he looked at his expression, he could roughly guess what his chief was thinking.

Tao Ji can clearly feel that the current Shen Dan is a little depressed, this famous general who has fought for decades has never tasted such a fiasco, and the blow caused to him may not be able to recover in a short time.

"If I knew this, I shouldn't have rushed to take away Huang Wei's power in the first place, at least I could ensure that Yueqiu would not be lost first." Tao Ji regretted a little, he should have persuaded him to apply for a list, maybe he could have avoided today's fiasco.

But Tao Ji also knows Shen Dan's character, this is not a person who is easy to listen to other people's advice, especially when he gets older, this veteran becomes more stubborn, and few people can persuade him.

At this time, the intelligence officer quietly came to Tao Ji's side, lowered his voice and said, "I just got the information from Yueqiu, and the ground troops ...... Already...... Annihilation ......" Before he could finish speaking, the intelligence officer's voice had become a little choked.

Tao Ji was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he still patted the intelligence officer's back comfortingly, and whispered: "I know, I will report to the general later." ”

After the intelligence officer left, Tao Ji called the captain and asked him about the route, and the captain told Tao Ji that at the current speed, it would be possible to reach the edge of the Warhorse system in about three days, and the fleet would be able to pause near the planet Ice Bull.

Tao Ji agreed to the captain's plan, and now Shen Shan didn't know what he was thinking, so Tao Ji had to make this decision for him.

After arranging all kinds of things, Tao Ji came to Shen Dan, briefly reported the current situation, and finally said: "General, you haven't rested for dozens of hours, now it's best to go to sleep, and when you reach your goal, there are still many things to be busy, and I'm afraid there will be no time to rest at that time." ”

Shen Dan looked up at Tao Ji, only to see that his eyes were bloodshot, and his skin looked very oily, and he couldn't hide his tired look, making him look like he was ten years old.

Tao Ji continued: "General, although we have suffered a lot of losses this time, we are not without a chance to turn the tables, and after resting and recuperating, we will definitely be able to completely wipe out the rebels." ”

Shen Dan rubbed his temples, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll go sleep first, and wake me up when I get to the place." ”

After saying that, Shen Shan stood up and left the bridge with heavy steps.

"Ouyang, will the 7th Fleet really stop at the Ice Bull Star?" Huang Wei asked, looking at the navigation analysis image on the screen.

Ouyang Tuo, who was standing behind Huang Wei, replied with confidence: "I believe they must stop here, the 7th Fleet is currently suffering heavy losses, but they can't return to the imperial capital directly, so there is only this place to rest." ”

"What if they retreat directly out of the galaxy?" Huang Wei was still a little worried.

"This is very unlikely, it is difficult for the fleet to get supplies and an ideal docking place outside the galaxy, which can be far away from the infestation of the rebels, and can also get fresh water from the nearby Ice Bull Star, which can be said to be the best place to rest and recuperate. As long as they don't get nervous, they will definitely stop here. ”

"That's good! We acted on what we had planned. Huang Wei strengthened his confidence at this time, raised his voice and said: "The whole army is ready for battle, and once you reach your destination, you will beat me hard!" ”

"Yes!" Many officers in the combat command room responded in unison.

"Disband! Let's start parting ways! Huang Wei said with a wave of his hand.

After the officers finished the military salute, they each walked out of the command room, and Ouyang Tuo left last, and said to Huang Wei before leaving: "Commander, I will also go and rest first, and I will come back in about two hours." ”

"Go ahead, recharge your batteries, and there will be a big battle after that, and you will need to give me advice." Huang Wei nodded.

When Ouyang Tuo left, only Huang Wei and his younger brother Huang Wu were left in the command room.

At this time, Huang Wu said: "Big brother, do you really want to do this? Will it cause trouble? ”

Huang Wei said a little impatiently: "It's all this time and you're still talking about this, haven't I already explained it to you, if you don't do this, neither of us will want to have a good life!" ”

"But...... If we really make a move on Shen Dan, I'm afraid the imperial capital will not spare us. Huang Wu said with a worried expression.

"It's out of our hands now, even if we don't do it, do you think this guy will spare us? No matter what the outcome of this battle is, he will definitely put the blame on us in the end, and it will be a trivial matter to lose our heads at that time, but I am afraid that our entire family will not want to have a living! ”

"Isn't there any other way? If we help us apply now, maybe we will have a share of the credit in the future......"

"You are really naΓ―ve, he just came to take my power, obviously to be inseparable from us, how can he give us the credit? After so many years as a fleet commander, why are you getting more and more regressive, and you must not be afraid to do great things! ”

Huang Wei sprayed Huang Wu so much that he didn't dare to answer, and finally he patted Huang Wu on the shoulder and said: "Little brother, seeing that the troubled times have arrived, you may be able to take a gamble, otherwise you can only be swallowed by others, haven't you understood it now?" ”

After listening to Huang Wei's words, Huang Wu had to nod and said, "Okay, just listen to the eldest brother, I'll go and prepare!" ”

"That's right, this time we are unintentional, Shen Shan never imagined that we would suddenly make a move, as long as the 7th fleet is wiped out, and then the rebels are destroyed, then the imperial capital will not be able to say anything, you just let it go."

Shen Shan was woken up from his sleep by the sound of a bell, and he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the roof for a long time before slowly sitting up from the bed.

I saw that the red light on the computer panel at the head of the bed kept flashing, indicating that someone was applying to talk to him.

Shen Shan stretched out his hand and pressed the communication button, and a holographic video was immediately projected in front of him, and the person who asked to call was his adjutant Tao Ji.

"What's wrong?" Shen Shan asked in a tired voice.

"General, we will soon arrive near the Ice Planet, are we going to enter the orbit of the planet?"

Shen Shan thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, we'll stay here for a few more days and get into orbit." ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

After turning off the call, Shen Shan got up and washed up and tidied up his appearance, before leaving his cabin and taking the conveyor belt to the bridge.

When I came to the bridge, I saw that Tao Ji was directing the fleet to prepare to enter the planetary orbit, the fleet was slowing down in a planned way, everyone was busy, and the atmosphere seemed to be back to the way it was before the defeat.

Shen Dan's mood is slightly better, at this time perhaps only work is the best placebo, as long as you keep yourself busy, negative emotions can gradually stay away, and only hard work can usher in a turnaround.

Thinking of this, Shen Shan felt that he couldn't be depressed anymore, otherwise the entire fleet would be affected. Although this battle was lost, the combat strength of the fleet is still there, and as long as the right opportunity is found, there may not be no hope of turning the tables.

"Hello everyone! How's it going? Shen Shan said loudly.

Hearing that Shen Shan had returned to his usual voice, everyone's hearts felt a kind of stability, and it seemed that Admiral Shen Shan had recovered a lot after the rest, so everyone was not so worried.

"Good morning, General!" Everyone said.

"General, at the moment the fleet is slowing down, and it is expected to be in orbit in three hours." Tao Ji greeted him and said.

"Very good, continue to implement the plan, and immediately convene a meeting of the captains of the ships after entering the orbit to discuss the refurbishment plan in detail."

"Understood!"

At this moment, the intelligence officer said in a loud voice: "General, there is a fleet approaching!" ”

"Fleet? Whose fleet is it? Shen Shan asked with a frown.

"The other party sent me an identification code...... It's the fleet of the War Horse Galaxy! The intelligence officer said in an excited voice.

"What? Is it the fleet of the Warhorse Galaxy? That's great! The officers applauded excitedly when they heard the news.

At this time, if this new force is added, the 7th Fleet can basically return to the pre-war level of seventy or eighty, and it may not be long before the 7th Fleet can launch a counterattack against the rebels.

This news came in such a timely manner that even Shen Shan wondered if he had heard it wrong, the War Horse Galaxy fleet actually came when he was most unlucky, just like a film and television drama.

"General, if we have this fleet to join, we will have the strength to fight again!" Tao Ji said excitedly.

"Let's hope so." Shen Shan nodded and said, although he tried to stay calm, his heart was also so excited that even his fingers trembled slightly.

"The other party asked to enter the queue, may I ask the general to allow it?" The intelligence officer said again.

"Approved." Shen Dan loosened the button of his collar and said, "After they join the team, please invite Major General Huang Wu to my flagship, and I will meet with him." ”

"Yes, General."

Shen Dan ordered people to pour himself a cup of tea, took a sip gently, and said in his heart: "Was I too cold to Huang Wei before?" Maybe you can take this opportunity to ease the relationship, after all, everyone's common enemy is the rebels now, and making the relationship too stiff will affect the ...... of the battle."

"General, you can already see them, I'll put the image on the big screen."

Shen Shan looked up and saw a neat fleet heading towards the 7th Fleet, compared with the embarrassed 7th Fleet, the fleet of this War Horse Galaxy looked energetic and full of vitality.

Shen Dan couldn't help but feel good about this fleet, and blurted out: "I didn't expect this fleet to be quite presentable." ”
