Chapter 141: Outpost
Interstellar Federation Era 217, October 25. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It has been exactly one month since the Interstellar Federation officially declared the Shadow Empire a hostile country and stopped all economic and trade activities between the two countries.
Although the Interstellar Federation has invested twenty-four fleets before and after, the battle ahead is still extremely unoptimistic.
The seventeen fleets of the Black Bear Legion of the Shadow Empire have already been dispatched, and in the case of the inferior number of warships, they are very brave, winning seven battles in a row.
The Shadow Empire has been waiting for an opportunity, and the twelve fleets combined by the Goshawk Legion and the Wolf Warrior Legion also took the initiative to attack and sailed towards the White Tiger System of the Interstellar Federation, which is closest to them, and the battle is about to break out.
The seventeen fleets of the White Tiger System are all in a wartime state, and eight fleets have been dispatched to the three colony stars on the edge of the White Tiger Galaxy.
Under the circumstance that the White Tiger Legion was about to start a war, the leaders of the military committee actually came to the marshal's office and jointly put pressure on Calvin, asking Marshal Calvin to remove Xu Chenglong, the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Legion.
The reason for the dismissal of Xu Chenglong by the Military Committee was that Xu Chenglong and Ji Anlan were fellow villagers, and the two had a good relationship on weekdays.
Marshal Calvin, the supreme commander of the Interstellar Federation, tore up the proposal submitted by the military committee on the spot, and scolded the heads of those military committees.
Change the commander on the spot, and they can also think of it!
This Xu Chenglong is not only the coach of the White Tiger Army, but also a famous general on the same level as Ji Anlan.
At present, in such a bad situation in the Interstellar Federation, no one is more suitable for the position of the coach than Xu Chenglong.
Marshal Calvin also made clear his attitude to the head of the military committee on the spot, saying that if Xu Chenglong defected, he Calvin would bear all the consequences.
Marshal Calvin said so, and he was really angry, and the members of the military committee finally stopped this fateful farce and left in disgrace.
Calvin knows that this farce is just the beginning, and the direct consequence is that he completely tears his face with the president, and there will be more and more such constraints in the future.
The Military Commission is a military supervision department established by the President himself to sign a presidential decree, and it can be said that the Military Commission is often carrying out the President's will.
McGellen is a general, Calvin knows it very well.
After graduating from the McGellen Military Academy, he directly served as a lieutenant, and in just five years, he was promoted from a lieutenant to a major general, almost every year, and the speed of promotion was faster than riding a rocket.
The reason why Magellan was able to rise so quickly is naturally because Magellan is a member of the Russell family, which ranks fourth among the five major families of the Federation.
The Russell family started by smuggling arms and is currently the largest arms supplier to the Interstellar Federation Military Department.
More than one-third of the weapons and warships of the Interstellar Federation Military Department are manufactured by the Celestial Weapons Company under the Russell family.
As for this McGellen's military command ability, Marshal Calvin once said that even if all the general-level officers of the Federal Military Department were killed in battle, he would never use McGellen.
"Uncle!"
Long Xiaotian shouted twice in succession, and Marshal Calvin, who was in a daze facing the floor-to-ceiling window, seemed to notice it and turned around.
The position where Marshal Calvin now stood, Long Xiaotian also stood there, looked out of the window, this position was directly opposite the military headquarters, and beyond that was the Harlem River, and on the other side of the river was the famous Manhattan Commercial Street.
Long Xiaotian didn't know how long Calvin had been looking out the window before he arrived.
All he knew was that he had been in the office for almost twenty minutes, and he couldn't bear to interrupt Calvin's musings because he had something to report.
"Xiaotian, it's you." When Calvin saw Long Xiaotian, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"How's that!" Marshal Calvin's face quickly returned to normal, and he said in a deep voice.
"That's it!" Long Xiaotian nodded!
"That's good, that's good!" Marshal Calvin's haggard face showed a rare smile.
seems to be a dumb riddle dialogue, both Calvin and Long Xiaotian know that they are talking about the same thing, that is, the placement of Ji Anlan's family.
Although the marshal's office is theoretically absolutely safe, and no one dares to install something like a bugging here, for the sake of prudence, neither side directly said Ji Anlan's name.
Long Xiaotian put a stack of documents in his hand on Calvin's desk, and said in a straight voice: "Your Excellency Marshal, I am the report of our Special Constitutional Department, which is preparing to set up an outpost on the edge of the White Tiger Galaxy!" ”
Whenever he talked about serious matters, Long Xiaotian would use a formal report, and he would never mess up the respect that his subordinates should have for his superiors just because Calvin was his uncle.
Marshal Calvin picked up the document, glanced at it casually, then put down the document, and looked at Long Xiaotian's eyes fixedly, from Long Xiaotian's blink, Calvin had already guessed the ghost idea of his nephew, nodded and smiled.
"Regarding the establishment of the outpost, you, the person in charge of the Special Constitutional Department, sign and seal it and hand it over to the United Front Work Department, just let them arrange it, and give it to me for what!" That being said, Calvin chuckled, pulled a pen from his chest pocket and signed his name.
Long Xiaotian picked up the document, scratched his head a little shyly, and smiled with his snow-white teeth exposed.
Long Xiaotian naturally knew that there was no need to ask the marshal for instructions at all to set up a small outpost, but in order to allocate warships to the outpost of the Special Constitutional Department, this matter had to be approved by the marshal.
Moreover, Long Xiaotian's shot was not ordinarily large, with the standard configuration of the patrol team, with a stroke of the pen, he directly equipped Baibaoxing with five high-level warships, twenty-six medium-level warships, and twelve low-level warships.
Ordinary outpost planets mainly serve as radar functions, covering the surface with points, monitoring the whereabouts of enemy ships in the surrounding star fields, and serving as the eyes and ears of the main force.
At the same time, it also served as a transit point, a supply depot, and a temporary resting place for warships.
The outpost has no combat function, and the outpost's ground defense artillery fire is only used to deal with pirates and fringe safari fleets.
Once the outpost is assigned a warship, the level of the outpost is suddenly upgraded to an outpost.
Outposts and outposts are two different concepts.
The latter is already an integral part of the combat power of the Federal Military Department.
If Long Xiaotian's ration to the Hundred Treasure Star battleships is a bit excessive, and even more exaggerated is still to come, the material ration of thirty transport ships per quarter is already close to the ordinary patrol fleet, five times the wartime ration.
Long Xiaotian got the document and was about to walk to the door, Marshal Calvin said lightly behind his back: "Do a good job, don't embarrass me!" ”
Long Xiaotian turned around, nodded resolutely, and scolded in his heart: "Dead fat man, everything Lao Tzu promised you has been done for you, if you don't protect General Ji Anlan's family, Lao Tzu will personally lead the fleet to raze your Baibao Star to the ground." ”
