Chapter XXXVIII
"Triangular Star Zone...... Unfortunately, the computer only contained information from a few years ago, and after the war began, a lot of the Federal Intelligence Department's energy was spent elsewhere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" mentioned this, and as an intelligence staff officer, Wiharu looked very depressed.
"At no time should intelligence be expected to be absolutely accurate. Did the tutor at school tell you on the first day? Lieutenant Lin Ze complained unceremoniously. However, the Admiral is too frustrating, and in the current situation, it would be nice to be able to drive the Federation back to Baledon smoothly. ”
Feng Yiwu, who was holding a teacup, silently looked at the helpless tactical staff officer. But he knew in his heart that Lin Ze, who was saying this, had fully recognized himself as a member of the special service fleet.
"It's almost time, let's go to a meeting. The command of the bridge was handed over to the chief of general affairs as his deputy. Feng Yiwu looked at the two as if they were about to go to war again, and hurriedly interrupted.
……
The first dining hall gathers all the non-commissioned officers on the USS Confederation who have a spare time. In this place, which was originally only for twenty people, it was slightly squeezed, and the current more than fifty non-commissioned officers were accommodated. Because the central air conditioner seems to be broken, this small space seems even more stuffy.
"Non-commissioned officer of the USS Confederation...... Is there only such a small number of people? Standing at the entrance and scanning the audience, Lu Lu was a little surprised, and more indeed gloomy.
"All stand and salute you, Admiral." It was no surprise that the captain of the USS Federation, Major Feng Yiwu, gave the order. As is customary in the Federal Army, the Captain, the Major, is the most powerful person on the ship.
Lu Lu looked at the group of soldiers who raised their hands and saluted, many of them still wearing bandages. Lu Lu, who is well aware of modern medical capabilities, can't help but be a little moved.
"Long story short." Lu Lu smiled. "The chaos that followed the Battle of Mir. We may not be adequately supplied at Baledon. However, the task after that is quite arduous, and in view of this, we hope to rely on everyone's strength to find a solution when we arrive in the Baredon system......"
……
"Admiral, do you mean that in the future, we will rely on these more than 1,000 people to maintain the fighting capability of the Federation?" The first to speak was the technical staff. "Impossible, Admiral. At present, the damage management team is only half of the conventional one, and once we enter combat mode, we will lose most of our continuous combat capabilities. ”
"Admiral, our next mission is in the Triangular Star Zone, which is a dangerous area equivalent to a war zone, and all posts must be on duty. This will ensure that the Federation has enough time to react. Immediately afterwards, Lieutenant Lin Ze, a tactical staff officer, also raised objections.
“…… Major, what about your opinion? Lu Lu looked at the girl sitting in the front row. Any good news about the question just now? ”
"I'm sorry, Admiral, but I'm not a professional on these issues. However, the current manpower situation is quite dire, and I hope that the Federation will have at least 3,000 combatants before moving on to the next mission. Feng Yiwu stood up with an extraordinarily indifferent expression and a frown. In fact, I'd prefer the Federation to be at full capacity. The complex situation in the triangular star sector requires a lot of force to ensure the execution of tactics. ”
……
"So, let go of this issue for the time being and move on to the next topic." Seeing that several officers were opposed, Lu Lu could only choose to retreat. "Our next mission is to enter the Triangular Star Zone to clean up the pirates. Of course, this is an overt order from the High Command, but I would say that the Supreme Governor gave me an order: to guarantee the route from Tashmungon to Wenger. There is no limit to the means, no limit to the time. Of course, this is just a routine announcement to everyone, and the third topic to be done next. ”
"Congratulations to everyone, the High Command has issued a reward for all participants in the battle of the Hunting Plan, a Medal of Glory for the Battle of Mir, and a one-level increase in military rank." Lu Lu laughed...... The army is a monster fed by victory and honor.
"So, tonight, let's have a celebration. Of course, this still needs the captain's approval, as the hangar needs to be appropriated as a banquet venue. ”
"License. After all, we won the final victory, and we really need to celebrate. Under everyone's expectant gaze, Feng Yiwu nodded in agreement.
"Well, this is the end of this meeting, and it is dissolved." Lu Lu took a handful of officers and left the already jubilant dining room.
"Admiral, I guess the reward for the participation in the battle to be promoted to the first rank is not mine......" Walking on the first passage, Feng Yiwu said in an indifferent voice.
"It's not just you, neither the bridge officer group nor the fleet monitoring team have been promoted." Lu Lu turned to look at the girl with her head down. "Hey...... I don't really value military ranks, and besides, people like me don't have any other ideas in their lives. Looking at the silent girl, who didn't react, Lu Lu looked helpless, leaving only a long sigh at the end.
"Those things, to us, mean nothing. Whether it's a promotion or an honor, what is it for us to care about? Although he said this to himself in his heart, Lu Lu knew better that he actually did not agree with this statement.
"That's it, can you come to my break room later, I think we need to discuss the specific course of action next. After all, we have at least a future to look forward to.
In the admiral's room, Lu Lu looked at the list of personnel and looked distressed. Even Lu Lu, who lacks common sense, knows that the Federation, which lacks manpower, can exert half of its combat power, even if it is the super long play of the entire crew.
"Major, what do you think we need most now?" Lu Lu rubbed the corners of his forehead fiercely, as if he wanted to rub away his distress. However, it is clear that this approach is not working.
"The triangular star region is connected to the three major star fields, and from the star map, it does have the qualifications to be called an important transportation hub. However, the pirates who have been entrenched here for many years have completely destroyed his value. "Feng Yiwu seems to have been prepared for a long time, simple and straightforward." In the Triangular Star Zone between Emma, Mimatar, and the Federation, there is a set of rules that belong to the people of the Triangular Zone, and even we need to abide by such rules. ”
"Rules? What a nasty thing...... I really don't know what kind of rules we need to follow," Lu Lu chuckled softly. "What are you going to say at the celebration?"
"Probably, we who survived, our comrades who sacrificed, and the great Federation." Feng Yiwu's calm answer made Lu Lu feel helpless.
"It's really conventional."
Just for the good of the Federation, the unhesitating Federation Navy, the scarcely manned USS Federation, has left too much to do after the battle spanning thousands of light-years.
