CHAPTER XXXIV
When the central region of the first star of the Yanhuang Federation ushered in the night, Lu Lu and Falcon appeared in civilian clothes in the famous night city of the entire galaxy...... The 73rd Entertainment Station in Jinli. The huge space station www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion is full of colorful billboards, constantly flashing light, trying in every possible way to attract the attention of passers-by.
The inside of the old tavern with gold-encrusted roses is still bustling with people, and the dancers in the center of the stage show off their wonderful bodies to the rhythm of the music, and the air is filled with smoke, mixing with the smell of smoke and alcohol. This is just a small corner of the fallen world, where illegal trade and criminal behavior occur all the time, and the dignity of the law, which the Federation is proud of, is trampled on by countless people.
The Federal Navy, which was supposed to be the biggest defender of federal law, has become the strongest umbrella in the underground world for various reasons. On the streets inside the entertainment station, blue or white naval uniforms flashed from time to time, which fully illustrated the particularity of this entertainment station.
"Oh, I haven't been here for a few years, and it's still so bad here." Lu Lu came to the bar and picked an empty seat. This is due to the same setting of the signature of the Gilded Rose Tavern, whether it is the exterior decoration or the price of the goods, hundreds of thousands of taverns are all exactly the same.
"Boss, two beers." Hayabusa sat down next to Lu Lu and said to the bartender. Although it rarely appears on such occasions, Hayabusa has always had more experience than Lu Lu.
"What's the news lately?" Lu Lu picked up the large cup, drank half of it in one go, and asked flatly after a full burp in satisfaction.
"News? The news released by Perspective Media is terrifying enough. The bartender, wiping his glass intently, only verbally motioned for Lu Lu to pay attention to the screen that was floating above the bar.
The wreckage of the shattered space station floats in the icy universe, and twisted corpses of various shapes can be seen in the fleeting footage. Not long ago, the station was one of the most famous freedom stations in the underworld, of course, because it produced the famous Turck strippers in the universe.
And now, the scenes that appear in the news of Perspective Media make these long-adrift people feel the power and authority of the highest force. Even a solid space station could not stop a salvo from the fleet's artillery.
"Couldn't the High Command opt for a more moderate approach? I can't imagine that those proud navy can continue to maintain their pride after such a ruthless butcher's behavior. The complaints of the guests attracted the approval of many drunkards. Obviously, the federal navy's purge in Gillesis exceeded the bottom line of the majority, but the resentment did not affect the impression of the navy in the minds of the people.
"Look, even if we do something like this, it won't affect us." Lu Lu held up his glass and gestured to the falcon. "Besides, if she doesn't, it's not good for her future."
However, the depressed Falcon just tilted his head and poured all the beer into his mouth, and the nerves that were already tense gradually relaxed under the stimulation of the cold liquid.
While it is possible to understand the true intent of that operation and to understand that such a choice is best for the Federation, there are some things that are not rational to decide.
For any given country, the internal distribution of power often means even more fierce struggles. The same problem arose in the still young Confederation. Feng Yiwu has a natural advantage, and with the support of the family and the support of the federal people, its future path has been determined.
However, the fact that the family is already strong enough within the federation to even overwhelm the central government in many respects does not bode well for the young state of the federation. There are many people who are aware of this, and many people, including Feng Yiwu, are clearly aware of the seriousness and harm of this problem.
So, Lulu was sacrificed. Although Hayabusa believes in Feng Yiwu very much, she believes that she is not weighing the whole thing out of a utilitarian mentality. However, reason is reason, this kind of thing, Hayabusa is still emotionally unacceptable, and the action to force Lu Lu to resign was obviously premeditated from a long time ago.
"You're in the Navy?" The guests in the Gilded Rose Tavern obviously had a lot of experience, and they had guessed Hayabusa's profession just by looking at him, so they accosted him curiously. "Give them two more beers and put them on my account."
"How many federal citizens didn't join the Navy?" Hayabusa asked with a smile as he showed the badge around his neck, and three small metal flakes strung on the small rope.
Even though she was wearing civilian clothes, the brand-new boots on her feet were sergeant's casual boots with numbered and fluorescent stripes that had just been issued by the logistics department. This is also the standard attire for most of the station's staff, a navy shirt without rank or armband, a numbered sergeant's bootie or a boat-shaped soft hat.
Hayabusa's actions got an embarrassed face, the average naval soldier only has one military badge with only the name number and blood type on it, and two represent non-commissioned officers and officers, and an additional metal plate is printed with professional direction and qualifications. The three represent the command experience and qualifications of the combat units. A military badge is a proof of a soldier's identity and glory, although this is always in duplicate, and often only brings grief to relatives.
"Oh, I envy you young people." The guest touched his nose and said curtly. The woman with three badges was clearly not an ordinary sergeant, even if she was wearing sergeant boots instead of the leather shoes that officers liked. In fact, he was also a member of the navy, but apparently he did not serve in important positions, otherwise he would have bragged about Hayabusa, an ordinary non-commissioned officer. Because this is often the most proud thing for drunkards. "It's unfortunate that I didn't make it to this call-up because I was too old."
Because of the regret that the founding time was too short, the federation had an extremely serious weakness in the most basic links of industry. After the peace agreement with the Emma Empire, a large amount of minerals from the Emma Empire injected fresh blood into the powerful productivity of the Federation. In just a few years, the Federation Navy, which had expanded by a quarter from its original base, finally barely reached the standard of empire-level power in terms of numbers.
"The bad news is the end of the continued expansion of the Federal Navy, and the good news is that the Central Fleet of the Federal Navy has increased to fifty-six fleets." With a smile on his face, the bartender pushes a new beer to the strange-looking guest in front of him. "Although these new fleets have not yet been tested by the flames of war, they are still the Federation Navy that we trust. This cup is mine. ”
"It's better to count on me, even if I don't like the atrocities...... An order is an order, though. Lu Lu took the cup and held it up to the screen playing the news. For the Union, to the great Navy. ”
When the tavern is full of toasts, the ruins and innocent dead civilians in the news images, the space station still floating in the cold space, and the planets that have lost their life and expose the brown soil, all satirize this group of poor worms who numb their conscience and morals with alcohol, and not only the people concerned know how sad it is.
……
"Let's go, I'm afraid it will be a long time before I leave this time." As it was late at night, Lu Lu left the tavern with a hint of drunkenness. The streets in the entertainment station have not changed in any way because of the change of time, and the still noisy world has formed two distinct worlds from Lu Lu's depressed heart.
"The High Command has prepared a huge gift for you at the 22nd Navy Harbor." Hayabusa laughed, presumably under the influence of alcohol, and a defenseless smile appeared on Falcon's face.
"Huge gift...... Another Federation number? Lu Lu muttered. The last time the federal government gave him a gift that made him have to carry the heavy burden of up to two billion standard currencies a year, this time, God knows what the High Command has sent.
"At least the Federation didn't let you pay the crew of the Federation." Falcon, who has become accustomed to Lulu's complaints, hits back lightly.
"But everything from ammunition to supplies has to be paid for out of my own pocket...... If it weren't for the financial health of the special service fleet, the USS Federation would have become an ornament long ago. But the USS Federation is still the best of all the throne-class battleships. Lu Lu had considerable confidence in the battleship he was fortunate enough to own, and in the non-public information, this battleship has a staggering record of 12 warships of the same class destroyed. You must know that in the statistics of the results of the Federal Navy, the destruction of the same level is often used as the standard.
At the beginning of the new year, the Federation Navy added many battleships of the same size as the Federation to the sequence, and about 120,000 battleships called the Federation type of the Throne of Kings entered the combat establishment. There is one biggest benefit for the Confederation. The crew of the Federation finally did not have to worry about the special care of enemy fire in a large-scale battle.
Previously, the 120-kilometer-long size of the USS Federation was nearly one-fifth larger than the standard model, making it easy for the enemy to recognize this battleship of special significance. Fortunately, however, in the battles in which the Federation participated, only the Battle of Mir could be called a truly large-scale war. The Confederation, which only appeared on the battlefield for the first time in the Battle of Mill, even had the experience of being mistaken for a transport ship by the Emma Local Fleet.
"That way, the USS Federation may be able to get an official operational serial number in the High Command." With such an optimistic thought, a smile appeared on Lu Lu's face. Not everyone can still have faith in the continued defense capabilities of the Federation starship after experiencing the terrible baptism of fire of the Emma Navy. And the damage spread formed by a cluster of battleships of the same type is the best news for a Federation starship.
There are a total of three models in the Throne of Kings class, and the standard type has an ultra-high rate of artillery fire, which has an overwhelming advantage in close-quarters combat. The firepower type, on the other hand, has heavy armor, ultra-long range, is at the core of the formation, and can provide ultra-long-range but accurate artillery support.
The Federation, on the other hand, took the middle path, as long as his captain wanted to, the Federation's main gun could fire long-range ammunition at a rate of 4.6 seconds per round, or it could shoot a stream of lethal particles at very close range at a speed of 1.3 seconds per round. The rate of fire that seems to be not far apart is exchanged for countless technological investments. Although the layman simply does not understand what it means in this mere time of three .3 seconds.
