Chapter 51: A Stable Situation

"......" Angelot couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Lei Qingrang's words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIt's the first time she's seen such a blatant bad word for her boss behind her back.

"Don't worry, the Admiral won't care about these little things." Lei shook his head lightly and walked into the air crew headquarters of the Fukuzawa first.

Angelot, who was following behind Lei Qingrang, walked straight to his officer's seat and sat down after sweeping the command hall crowded with air crew sergeants with a sharp look.

"Director of Intelligence, report the situation."

"Yes." The head of intelligence on duty, a rather young lieutenant, stood up and responded loudly. The hint of respect on his face was obviously completely different from the compulsive obedience shown by military discipline in the past.

"Sir, the big screen shows images from the reconnaissance unit of the 1st Squadron 16 about thirty minutes ago, and we suspect that this trace is man-made. After the comparison of the technical department, it was confirmed that it was a wound after shelling, and then the technical officer of the maintenance team asked for technical support and concluded that the wound was an artillery damage of the catapult system, with a caliber of seven or six OOO, and the shelling distance was more than one or two OOOOO. ā€

"Caliber seven six OO? Are you sure? Because he was too surprised, Lei Qingrang asked first. The firing range is not a problem, but the caliber, which is already beyond the maximum caliber of the common catapult batteries on the market. As far as Lei Qingrang knows, there is currently only one starship using this caliber.

"Yes, I confirm, Captain. Caliber seventy-six OO, really because of such a huge caliber, directly broke through the external armor of a second-class battleship of the Galactic Empire. ā€

After hearing the lieutenant's voice without hesitation, the senior officers present subconsciously glanced at each other. This is not good news, on the contrary, it is rather bad news for the fleet dedicated to carving out in the domain of the source.

"Could it be the Bruts of the crescent moon or the sign of the phoenix? However, they can't have that kind of technological prowess. Angelot was rather unskeptical. She really didn't want to face Gillesis again.

"We are all aware of the disadvantages of the catapult battery, but the advantages are also very obvious. The manufacturing is simple, the cost is low, and it should be very simple to simply expand the caliber. Lei Qingrang lowered his eyelids to hide the helplessness in his heart. The current situation of the major empires competing in the Domain of Springs is very likely that there are empire-level forces to provide technical support to Mimatar. ā€

"This is normal, after all, the Mimatar are the most populous race in the known universe. Although countries maintain a tacit understanding with each other, is it now a problem to raise tigers? "Angelott? Olympus said with a frown. Suddenly I thought of something, and my face was full of shock. "Is that the one?"

"I'm afraid you can't be wrong, Hound Dog. This is the so-called self-inflicted, but it is not something we should consider now. Now we are responsible for the security of the temporary anchorage of the entire fleet, and this information undoubtedly tells us that it is very dangerous. I'm afraid we have to increase the alert level and patrol density. ā€

Lei Qingrang also had a bitter face, now the entire fleet can be described as a strong outside, the air force and high-speed starships are all on mission, and there are only a bunch of bloated battleships and aircraft carriers without fighters at the berth. However, due to various considerations, the lower commanders of the Federation had to be in a more dangerous state during the battle.

"Captain, the fact that a cosmic phenomenon has apparently occurred in the area where the wreckage was found does not mean that our surrounding security environment has deteriorated. So, can the increase in alert level be suspended? Angelott knows very well that the current capabilities of his subordinates are simply not able to complete this kind of long-term and high-intensity combat readiness patrol mission.

As for Angelott's concerns, Lei Qingrang is obviously very clear. However, she quickly threw out a condition that all the Air Force could not refuse.

"Although the 7th Group has indeed suffered heavy losses, the Federation believes that the combat strength of the entire 10th Independent Flying Force has not been affected. On the contrary, the Admiral saw this as an opportunity to increase the combat effectiveness of the aviation forces. If the Seventh Brigade can be recognized by the command, this will be the first opportunity to award the unit an honorary title. ā€

"Hey, it seems that the captain has this in mind? It's an honor that I can't refuse, and I've taken on this challenge. Angelot only had to look at the glowing eyes of his subordinates in the air service headquarters and the fiery gaze on his back to know how happy they were to be a little busy in the days to come.

It was said a long, long time ago that the military is a monster of honor. No soldier would refuse the honor at his fingertips, let alone in the Union Navy, where everyone is surrounded by all sorts of honors. The most visible benefit, of course, is that the court-martials are clearly biased in their punishments.

After dozens of hours of continuous work, Lei Qingrang finally returned to her break room, and in her opinion, the biggest problem on the entire starship had been solved. The Fukuzawa's most important means of attack, the leader of the flying unit, was already in full fighting spirit, and this was obviously the best news she had heard since acting captain.

……

However, while the Fukuzawa was on the right track, Lu Lu on the Federation was frowning at the basket he had accidentally poked.

God knows how it was just a matter of robbing a fleet hostile to the Federation to get some extra money for its own "territorial development", how could it provoke both the Galactic Empire Expeditionary Fleet and the Emma Maniac Holy Cross Fleet.

Of course, Lu Lu knows the meaning of these two armed forces. Although he was not afraid of these two forces, it did not mean that Lu Lu did not care about the lives of his subordinates.

As Lu Lu knew, the difference in combat power between the fleets of the Galactic Empire's starship army was quite huge, but it represented the Galactic Empire after all. For a variety of reasons, the federal government requires the Navy's major fleets to exercise restraint outside the northern line of defense. Therefore, the armed forces of the Federation and the Galactic Empire are still quite restrained at present.

The Holy Cross, on the other hand, was made up of outright religious fanatics or typical Emma-supremacy blood-therapists. Although it is known as the strongest legion in the Emma Empire, although there are a large number of brainwashed madmen, in fact, the high-ranking people of the Holy Cross have already fallen under the temptation of various realities.

Just thinking about the madmen and Mimatar that he might have to face in the future, Lulu's head is even bigger. It should be said that fortunately, the current Mimatar people are not aware of this problem, or those who have realized it are just not willing to pay such a big price in exchange for a life that is no different from before.

I don't know when it began, but the Mimatar people, who once traveled all over the universe, began to fear the starry sky. However, Lu Lu knew more clearly that once he broke the shackles imposed on him by the major empires, Mimatar would be able to rise rapidly in just a hundred years, even with the advantage of population.

Having managed to rise from occupying the rich galaxy that originally belonged to the Mimatar Empire, no one would want to see a strong and united empire rise again.

"Although there is no problem in saying that it is hard, but if you want to cause any more trouble for that old man, maybe he will really pick on him. Oh, the cake buyer. Supreme Overseer, you must resist it. Lu Lu closed his eyes and folded his hands while praying insincerely.

"I don't want to dampen your positive attitude, but I have to say that we have no chance of winning." Falcon's calm voice poured cold water on Lu Lulu's head, which was starting to heat up. "Do you want to die young?"

"How is that possible?" As soon as he heard the sound of the falcon, Lu Lu subconsciously jumped up and hurriedly explained. "Well, of course I cherish life. I cherish my life very, very, very much. ā€

"When I left the first star, the Supreme Overseer said that it was not allowed to take the initiative to provoke a battle, not to provoke several other empires, and not to transfer troops outside its authority without authorization......" Lu Lu recited the instructions of the Supreme Superintendent of the Federation Navy in a generous and mournful tone. Well, on the Federation full of acquaintances, it only has the effect of easing the atmosphere.

"It's a pity that the actual situation is completely different from what the Supreme Overseer had expected." Hayabusa didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, after all, the current situation was still very much in line with her own heart.

"Because that's not a command. Hey. Lu Lu squinted, his mood changed from tangled to happy, and even took the initiative to reach out to the console.

"Don't bully honest people too much, General."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll take notice." Lu Lu replied with a smile in his voice. "Our chief of staff will be able to sort out this little thing very well."

The members of the Confederation are almost blindly obedient to Lulu's orders. It has nothing to do with whether the order is valid or invalid, whether it is reasonable or not, and it is completely different from Feng Yiwu's happy obedience to the order during his tenure as captain. Most of the subordinate commanders and sergeants on duty obeyed orders more for the unpredictable future, gambling with their lives for the thrill.

However, that was only the Federation, and in the current fleet, the Federation had a way of acting that was incompatible with other starships. For the other officers of the Discovery Fleet, everyone on board the Federation was distorted in both their mental state and behavior.

"Chief of Staff, it looks like you have a new mission." Lu Lu stretched out his hand and pressed a few buttons on the console to connect to the office of the fleet staff.

Soon, Colonel Li Ce's serious face appeared on the communication screen.

"New mission?"

"As far as possible, without alarming the Source Expeditionary Force, let our advance team come back intact." Lu Lu pressed the corner of his forehead that was faintly painful, and said to the chief of staff on the other end of the communication. "The key question is how to get that group of arrogant militants to come back honestly."
