Chapter 33: The Banquet

Somewhere outside of Bradorin, a temporary Allied base, a squadron of Atlantic Federation fighters is approaching a Balton-class heavy cruiser of the Atlantic Federation that is approaching in the direction of Bradorin

"Ahead of the ship, please inform us of your flag ID. This confidential key has been issued, please check it. "The patrol aircraft sent a request for inspection to the Balton-class heavy cruisers. Generally on the periphery of the base, if a ship is detected, patrol aircraft will be dispatched to conduct patrols. If it is a merchant ship, it will be bombed away, and if it is a warship, the purpose of the trip will be inquired. The average patrol will carry a key and a list of all the ships that will arrive at the base today. In order to prevent being tricked by the enemy, the patrol will first send a key to the inspected ship, and if the key is matched, it will prove that the fighter is a patrol plane of the army. The patrol aircraft then questioned the inspected warship, asked for its flag ID, matched it with the list, and if it matched, it proved to be a planned vessel. Finally, the inspected vessel sends a command ID and the captain enters a one-time password. This information, along with the previous flag information, is forwarded to the base by the patrol aircraft, which matches the command, as well as the ships included in the order. The ship's order is then set to arrival, and sent back to the ship's port of origin and copied to the command system of the Cosmos Headquarters. The port of origin sets the ship's status to arrival and cancels the ship's status at the port. The command system of the headquarters will also determine that the ship has completed its mission. Only when all the information in the system is matched correctly can the vessel be identified as and marked as healthy by radar.

The main reason why such a complex process is designed is to prevent safety. If the ship is captured by the enemy, as long as there is no password that only the captain knows, then the command cannot be matched. There is a button on the captain's seat, and if something unexpected happens, tap the button and the password will be reset, so even the captain can't know it. Then the ship-snatcher is the one who asks the whole ship, and he can't know the password.

"The key has been checked and confirmed. The Atlantic Federation Space Force, part of the 13th Mobile Fleet under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Fleet, the heavy cruiser USS Ray Milton, was ordered to deploy in Bradorin. A flag ID has been issued. "The communicator sends the ship's ID to the patrol aircraft via a wireless signal.

"The ID has been confirmed, please send the command ID and password."

The captain opened a small machine he carried with him, and the password for this command was recorded on it, and when he clicked the button above, the password could be automatically entered into the system, and then he clicked send. With patrol aircraft as intermediaries, command messages were sent to the Bradorin base.

And it didn't take long for the mission system on the battleship to suddenly light up, showing the words "mission completed" on it, and then showing the time specified in the mission, as well as the time spent.

"All information has been confirmed, please enter the base from C-09 port, please check the navigation information."

On the warship, a line appeared in front of the helmsman to guide him to the port of C-09 and where to stop.

=================================================

"Good work, Thoms, come back first. Squad 04, taking over from Squad 11. "Major Pelle of the Atlantic Federation is sitting in the dispatch room, and it is his brigade's turn to patrol today, so he needs to sit in the dispatch room and dispatch the various squads he belongs to.

After a while, he saw through the window of the dispatch room a huge warship slowly sailing into the military port.

"This is already the sixth, and there are at least seven cruisers coming from North America," said Major Pellet, looking at the position of the ship in the harbor, and the base defense command ruled out that the adjutant was preparing to meet the newly arrived warship.

Just spoke with the Base Defense Command. The commander of the base's defenses, Major General Lapel, a member of the North American Free Alliance, will hold a party to entertain all the officers currently on the base to wash the dust of the new troops who have arrived in recent days.

This banquet borrowed the auditorium of the base, which can accommodate more than 10,000 people to hold meetings here. This banquet was in the form of a buffet because there were too many people, and dozens of chefs at the base were busy for this banquet all afternoon. Attending the reception included hundreds of officers from warships, aviation units, defense commands, general staff, marine units, logistics, and rearmament units of various countries. Most of the officers gather in small groups of troops, but there are also some well-traveled veteran officers who wander around the small groups and talk and laugh. Major Pelle saw his old friend, the head of the maintenance team, and a few young officers fighting with a small circle of maintenance in North America, and the young officers on both sides watched the two old officers compete to see which country-made parts were more common.

At this time, a lieutenant colonel officer of the North American Liberty League walked up to him with two wine glasses.

"Have a drink together?" The North American lieutenant colonel asked.

"Okay." Major Pelle took the glasses that were handed to them, and the two of them clinked glasses, and then drank the red wine from the glasses. "This is indeed a third-rate red wine in the army," Major Pelle complained secretly.

"Excuse me, are you Major Luan Pellet?" The officer asked.

"Yes, you are?" Pelle asked, not remembering that he had friends from the NAF, let alone a lieutenant colonel, an officer one rank above him.

"Wolf Convetton." The other party is the ace of the North American Liberty Alliance Space Army, Lieutenant Colonel Wolf Convetton, the "Wolf of the Wind".

"Oh, Wolf of the Wind, long admired the Great Name." Major Pelle had heard the name, not only in North America, but also on the Atlantic Commonwealth. In particular, Convidon's famous battle, the "February Rebellion", was a large-scale offensive launched by the rebels against the North American Liberty League and the Atlantic Federation three years ago, but in the end the rebels were defeated, losing almost all of their bases in lunar orbit and retreating into the depths of the universe.

Convitaton was still a captain at the time, with his squadron directly under him, and a cruiser attached to him, when his mobile fleet was broken up and the NAF was passive, he led a single cruiser to create 3 battlefields in 5 days, alone destroyed 41 enemy fighters, destroyed 3 cruisers, 4 destroyers, 2 missile destroyers, and destroyed 1 aircraft carrier, 5 cruisers and 8 destroyers with his comrades. For this, he was named the "Wolf of the Wind", promoted to the rank of major, and received several medals.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just a false name." The two of them flattered each other a little politely, and then Lieutenant Colonel Conveton got to the point.

"I heard that the unit you led had fought against the battle robots of the Celestial Organization before. I don't know if I can find out. Convitaton asked, staring straight into the other's eyes.

"Didn't you also lead a unit of combat robots and repel the rebels' combat robots." Major Pelle hadn't yet figured out how to answer, so he made a bend first.

"I've heard that the Celestial Organization calls this kind of combat robot Mobile Suit. And the MS they belong to is codenamed Jim. "Convitaton knew that if he wanted something, he couldn't get it for nothing, and he still needed to confide in some information in exchange for it. So I revealed a little bit that I had some intelligence lines on my side and obtained some intelligence information.

Sure enough, after Major Pelle heard this, he knew that the other party was also paying attention to the Celestial Organization, and he also wanted to know what news the other party knew.
