Chapter 80: Talking about Heroes, Who Are Heroes
Starlink's headquarters, inside the Arcturus space station.
"General...... "General! ”
When the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy, General Hackett, walked through the corridor of the space station with a straight face. Many of the officers who were walking immediately stepped aside respectfully and stood up and saluted the general. General Hackett simply nodded, and then walked briskly through the large hall towards the room at the end of the corridor.
"General", an ensign in a gendarmerie uniform stood in front of General Hackett. But when General Hackett's reproachful gaze turned to him, the second lieutenant had to get out of the way under great pressure, and respectfully helped General Hackett open the door to his room.
This is the Star Alliance Naval Military Court, and today is a closed court day, and many people are waiting in line for the seats of those waiting for trial. Although these soldiers came to this court, they were destined to be punished. However, out of the soldier's plain zhì, they still lined up neatly and moved forward in an orderly manner.
The judge sat down behind a low table, without raising his head, to let those who came before him report their identities, and then, after confirming the correctness of the file, handed down the corresponding punishment according to the statute - no appeal, no argument, the military tribunal was as simple and crude as ever - as it had been for centuries. Most of the punished people have a bitter look on their faces when they hear the result, but they almost always accept it - because it is undesirable to refuse to accept the result of the punishment and to find a lawyer.
What's more, I don't know what happened today, but there was an admiral with his adjutant sitting in an empty auditorium to observe!
When General Hackett walked in, he first looked at the queue of interrogators over there, and then easily found the only woman inside, Li Huamei. She looked unaffected, just expressionless, moving with the line - but General Hackett knew. The punishment that awaits her will be expulsion from the military! Pursue criminal responsibility! Very strict zhòng......
Admiral Hackett didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the Second Fleet, but the one told by 6 Yuan was born at the time of the "First Contact Battle". The story about "Louis's children" touched him completely!
"General!". Be the first to salute. Not only because Admiral Drescher was of a higher rank than him, but also because he had served in the Second Fleet for a long time - his old superior.
When he followed Admiral Dreischer to the "First Contact Battle", Hackett himself was a second lieutenant. Twenty years have passed, and Hackett, who has entered middle and old age, has finally stepped into the ranks of generals. , which is already white. Although he was eighty-nine years old, he was still serving as the commander of the fleet. But everyone knows it...... He is not far from retirement.
"Hackett......" The old man saw General Hackett and nodded as a greeting. His seniority in the Star Alliance Navy is too deep, and there are few people who can get him up from his seat - not to mention that it was Admiral Dresher who led the Second Fleet to raid the Turui patrol fleet, turning the "First Contact Battle" around in one fell swoop! The old man has a good reputation in the army! "Why are you here?"
General Hackett took a deep breath, and then said directly, "I'm here to ask you to reconsider the punishment of Corporal Li Huamei, allow him to retain his military status, and exempt him from criminal responsibility......"
"Impossible!" The old man didn't think about it, and directly waved his hand in disgust, interrupting General Hackett's words! "Don't tell me that. I believe that the law is just! "--Just p! If he really believed that the court could give a fair verdict, then Duncan should be standing in the queue of waiting people! And why are you sitting here putting pressure on the judge!?
General Hackett lowered his hand in annoyance. But when he saw the old man's pale paleness, he remembered the sentence that suddenly came out of 6 Yuan...... Shocking words. I am still ready to suppress the anger in my heart and fight for 6 Yuan.
But he only saw the old man waving his hand, "Since you're here, sit down first!" I have something for you to do......"
When Hackett sat down beside him, he didn't look directly at General Hackett and said, "Hackett, Duncan, this kid has been doing well lately, ......?" You should be Duncan's recommender. ”
General Hackett was furious! Are you treating me like a subordinate?! He respects his superiors, that's the politeness he knows! Know how to be grateful! But if the other party treats these as capital. He is absolutely intolerable! -- As commander of the Fifth Fleet, who was on an equal footing with the commander of the Second Fleet, Admiral Hackett was a slightly lower rank. But he represents the entire fleet, and his authority is likewise not allowed to be provoked!
If Admiral Dresher will use this recommendation as a condition in exchange for Li Huamei. He might have thought about it - but now, absolutely impossible!
"I will be a co-recommender for Anderson's candidate," Hackett bluntly rejected Admiral Drescher's unreasonable request. Duncan...... Even if he has trained in N7, I wouldn't recommend him! ”
"Humph!" and don't bother with Hackett again.
"Ungrateful fellow......," muttered Admiral Drescher, who made no secret of his hostility towards Hackett at the moment. The adjutant of the general stood behind him awkwardly, and he did not dare to persuade or listen to the affairs of the two generals...... It's painful.
General Hackett sat there as if he hadn't heard those words, and remembered a lot of the past.
Speaking of which, because of his busy military schedule, he had not communicated with Admiral Dresher for about seven or eight years.
Twenty years have passed since the "First Contact War...... The clear and wise eyes of the past now look scorched and cloudy, and their eyes are constantly wandering like a patient...... Hackett sighed softly, the resolute general who resolutely launched the surprise attack was now only arrogant and stubborn. And his son, who thought he was doing a perfect job, had long heard rumors that the father and son wanted to make the Second Fleet a son and a father's business, so Admiral Dresher insisted on not retiring.
"General, your communication ......" At this time, the sudden access to the communication saved Admiral Drescher's adjutant, who bent down and whispered in the admiral's ear, interrupting the general's invective.
"Who?"
“。”
"Come in, eighty percent came to compliment Duncan to me, Duncan saved his life......"
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Hackett to hear Admiral Drescher's voice suddenly rise to the top and shout angrily. "What, you're here to intercede for that Bichi too?! Are you old and confused?! Watch your duty, ex! -Major general! ”
Admiral Drescher didn't care that this was a quiet courtroom, he was arguing to himself! And after talking about the "former major general" who was extremely sarcastic, he angrily cut off the communication! As unreasonable as you want, as unreasonable as you want!
Seeing the judge's clenched white fist, Hackett sighed silently, and silently changed himself to a position away from Admiral Drescher. Although when Major General Grissom retired, the rank had not yet reached the top. But as a hero of the Star Alliance, his prestige is by no means comparable to Casterne's!
was actually ridiculed as "former major general!" "That old man, at this time, I don't know what to be angry about! Sure enough, not even a minute had passed when the communicators of Hackett and Admiral Drescher's adjutant rang at the same time.
Hackett looked at the letter he had received, and when he learned what had happened, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. Grissom looked really mad......
Over there, after reading the message, Admiral Drescher's adjutant was crying, and Ai Ai came behind Admiral Castegne and whispered in his ear, "Sir, you have been removed from the officers' club......
Casterne jumped up in anger, "A broken place to chat, did he think I would care?!" Then the admiral actually rushed at the judge, "Why hasn't it arrived yet!?" Do you think I have time to waste a whole day here!? ”
General Hackett, who was sitting in the distance, shook his head slightly, and at this time he completely entered the role of a cold observer. Although he had served under Admiral Dreischer, he was promoted only after leaving the Second Fleet - there was no "grace of acquaintance" between the two.
As a place for private contact, the Officers' Club is very important! This is true for both active and retired officers...... The members include all the generals, and the connections covered are terrifying! Originally, as the highest-ranking general in active service, Admiral Dresher was the least likely to be fired.
But his sentence - "Are you old and confused?!" Watch your duty, ex! -Major general! "-- The lethality is too great! After being given to each member of the team in their original form, this sentence was enough to arouse the anger of each retiree. So with the collective consent of the people, Admiral Dresher became the first general to be removed from the "officers' club"!
At this time, Hackett noticed that it seemed that Admiral Dresher had received another communication, and the result was also unhappy!
Admiral Dresher fiercely pushed away his adjutant, strode up to General Hackett, glared and shouted, "A few days ago, those Chinese interceded for this Bichi, and I felt that there was a problem!" I saw you and that old bastard of Grissom running around to obstruct the verdict today, just ...... The people from the Military Research Institute dared to call!
What do you want to do?! Who do you think you are?! This Star Alliance is not your world yet! Admiral Dresher slapped his holster hard, "I'm sitting here today!" Look who dares to turn the sky upside down! (To be continued)
