9. Enemies with no lower limit
As soon as he went out, Ding Feng got into Gan Ning's car and headed towards his battleship at the base, not long after, Zhang Zizhong also arrived here, and after learning the news, Zhang Zizhong smiled: "Thank you, buddy." ”
"It's the old man who looks at you well, otherwise I said it would be in vain."
Ding Feng not only did not take credit, but also generously erased Zhao Dengyao's credit, he punched Zhang Zizhong in the chest: "Work hard, in the future, Lao Tzu will command the navy, you will command the army, damn, you have to find someone to command the air force?" ”
Gan Ning hurriedly said, "Wu Mei." ”
"Wu Mei? You know her well? Zhang Zizhong was uncomfortable when he heard this name.
Ding Feng and Gan Ning saw it, the two of them glanced at each other, no wonder Wu Chengde and Xu Chongzhi were together, it was all the credit of Lieutenant Zhang, these two guys suddenly realized, and Ding Feng admired the five-body throw: "Brother self-loyalty, give up the small self and the overall situation, it's amazing." ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Look, he's not proud of his credit, this is the pure master of army logistics!"
Zhang Zizhong couldn't cry or laugh, but he owed this guy a favor, so he had to let him say a few words to pull him down, and Ding Feng saw that no matter how he teased, Zhang Zizhong didn't do anything away from home, and felt a little bored, so he had to signal Gan Ning to go and disperse the group of guys who were waiting to break the cup outside and were about to come in to beat and take revenge, he turned the topic and asked: "What are you going to do next?" ”
"General Van der Vaart of Sanchester is on his way, wait for them to come, nothing else is going on for now."
"Or is there something you kid won't say, or are you not qualified to know?"
"What else can happen, now Qin is completely finished, Chen Gongbu is also notorious, the deputy chief and the big boss form an alliance, the opposition parties are desperately trying to win over, and the rest is all the big guys' brains."
"That's what I said, damn, I've swallowed water for half my life, and I'm going to be half-dead with passion, it's really boring."
"I guess we'll be busy in the future, I'll hear from above." Zhang Zizhong lowered his voice: "After our SA is reorganized, we will regularly send people to the SU-2 star field to participate in mercenaries and participate in actual combat exercises to suppress bandits, but this time it is real." ”
"Really?"
"I've heard about it anyway, and those pirates should be cleaned up."
Ding Feng nodded.
In fact, Zhang Zizhong has something to say, and he understands.
There is no special reason, under the eyes of such a powerful three federations, how can a few small pirates live so nourished, and once they are nourished, they will be nourished for thousands of years, and finally occupy a piece of the galaxy near the core, forming a huge force.
The predecessors played with fire, and the later generations suffered.
Now these guys are haunting the waterways, robbing merchant ships, and even besieging lone warships, and today you fight Asia, tomorrow he fights New Rome, and the day after tomorrow maybe someone will take a bite from the Europas.
Their whereabouts are strange but they are all wrong.
The federations and these fellows, sometimes at war and sometimes at peace, although they are never recognized internationally and privately called pirates, but no one knows that they have become a climate, and they are inextricably linked with other countries.
In fact, the Cossack pirates are the cancer planted by mankind itself, and because of the connivance of some careerists in the past, the Federation now has to spend huge manpower and material resources every year to carry out the clean-up task.
The absurd thing is that not only is the cleanup ineffective, but the enemy is getting stronger and stronger, because there are disputes between the federations, Asia is fighting, maybe New Rome is secretly supporting each other, New Rome is fighting, maybe Europa is going to support...
It's a cycle of bad names.
So far, the current human civilization is inseparable from this cancer and acquiesced in his existence, but it is precisely because of the existence of this catharsis area and the abundance of vast resources in the starry sky that the three states have been peaceful so far.
So some people think that his existence is reasonable, but not everyone thinks that existence is reasonable.
What exists illegally for the connivance of the ambitionist should be erased.
Dai Zhenduo's father-in-law, Zong Tanggong, is such a hardliner, and it is conceivable that his descendants of the SA in the same line all hold such a concept.
If personal interests are excluded and only calculated from the perspective of the Federation, one is to spend tens of billions to eliminate pirates, or the other is to spend more than one billion yuan every year, and endlessly pay for a long time, who is more reasonable.
What's more, the commercial loss caused by the existence of this cancer is even greater every year, and the people's sense of security is also very poor, and it has become a no-fly zone for most commercial ships, but there is the nearest passage between the states!
"Occupy it as soon as possible, at least occupy the interstellar passage that should belong to Asia, then we will have the initiative in future wars." Zhang Zizhong said.
Ding Feng agreed, but he said: "Now we can only appear in the form of mercenaries, if we march in a big way, I am afraid it will touch the sensitive nerves of others." ”
"It will also touch the nerves of other countries, from the ancient earth era, the Chinese threat theory just to kill, to the interstellar era of the sub-federation national hierarchy theory, when did these people really relax their vigilance against us."
Zhang Zizhong shrugged: "In fact, Lao Tzu sympathizes with them, because if they don't set up an enemy, they will lose the value of existence, in order to exist, they have to deliberately set up an enemy, this behavior runs throughout, so the pirates have become a tumor of civilization, and the Asian Federation has become the Great Yuan Dynasty in the interstellar era ruled by the Han people, the first class is Chinese, the second class is East Asian Xianhe and two races, and the third class Southeast Asia..."
"What fucking bullshit."
"Yes, it is conceivable that if Asia had openly sent troops to the Salt Sea, we would probably have been accused of genocide again, and they would not have spoken of human rights to the victims of piracy, they would have only been heartbroken by the Cossack race of state terrorism, oh, the one-eyed men who exuded manly charm from top to bottom, and whose chest hair was like a mop, those watery blonde and blue-eyed tall and long-legged chicks, delicious caviar and intoxicating vodka, The cannon sound of the talented readers who wanted to dominate the galaxy shattered the quiet morning of the entire civilization. ”
Ding Feng emphasized: "No, it's night. ”
"Well, it's night." Zhang Zizhong glanced at him angrily: "I decided to go, what about you." ”
"For the Empire, of course!" Then Ding Feng raised his hand very fascistly: "Hi, sa!" ”
"**." Zhang Zizhong scolded angrily: "Are you crazy, you will be finished if this behavior is recorded." ”
Ding Feng laughed: "Here, the master has the final say." ”
On the contrary, Ding Feng has a high status in the navy, not only because of his background but also because of his own ability, the Zhiyuan under his command is all dead to him, not this kind of prestige, not such a group of brothers who live and die together, how can he drive the battleship to the sky above the military headquarters alone?
At this moment, Gan Ning suddenly rushed in: "Sir, there is a situation." ”
If it was an informal occasion, Gan Ning would definitely not be so serious, Ding Feng immediately stood up and walked out, Zhang Zizhong sat in place, this is Ding Feng's territory, he must respect his friends, but Gan Ning shouted: "Brother Zizhong, hurry up." ”
Zhang Zizhong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
As soon as he walked to the commander-in-chief hall, he heard Ding Feng's roar: "Sound the alarm, order all the officers and soldiers on leave to return to the team immediately, and the logistics department will immediately complete the weapons and power energy of the battleship, Gan Ning." ”
"Yes."
"Due to the urgency of the situation, immediately contact Chief Zhao Dengyao and report the situation directly to the commander-in-chief of the navy, General Ding Ruchang."
"Yes."
"Zhou Tai, immediately contact the Aviation Administration, and the base tower to declare the first take-off plan."
"Yes."
"Brother Zizhong, this is intelligence." Ding Feng beckoned.
Zhang Zizhong strode over, and after taking it, his face changed greatly, and he immediately sent it out without saying a word, and the intelligence showed that three basic hours ago, more than 10 unidentified ships appeared near the K1 interstellar passage 1,000 light-years away, and according to the estimation of the K12-K52 meteorite observation point, the behavior trajectory of the formation will coincide with that of the Xuchang ship.
What does this mean?
At this time, another piece of observation information came from the Aviation Administration, this time it was detailed video information, and Ding Feng immediately pressed play.
The entire command hall immediately dimmed, and a vast universe appeared on the large porthole in front, and from the lens of the meteorite monitoring point, we could see that in the distance, there were several lonely pulse signal beacons specially marked by artificiality, and below was a nebula like a sea of fire.
The buoy is the exit of the interstellar shipping lane.
Almost instantly, a blue light shone there, and the light covered the color of the sea of fire below, and then, a white light from the main cannon shot out, tearing through the black curtain in an instant, like lightning.
Immediately, a battleship jumped out of the course, it sped forward, and then another, and another...
Three reconnaissance, three interception, three electronic, followed by the big guys, a battleship of the Zhiyuan class, a destroyer of the same class, a total of fifteen warships, no identification and no number, but it was this mode that made Ding Feng conclude at a glance that it was the Cossack pirates they just said!
It's over, this is the thought in the hearts of Zhang Zizhong and Ding Feng, who were shocked.
Such a formation is by no means something that a battleship can withstand, and if it were not activated by the detection of energy fluctuations by a hidden observation point, the whereabouts of General Van der Vaart and his party would have been completely lost.
"What pirates can come and go freely within my Federation?"
Looking at this scene, Zhang Zizhong was furious, but Ding Feng smiled bitterly: "The law of freedom, the starry sky belongs to all mankind, the planets belong to the federations, people have the right to swim in the vast sea of stars, the federations must encourage this behavior, and be responsible for maintaining the passage, and must not charge any fees, and must not impose any restrictions." ”
Zhang Zizhong pointed angrily at the picture: "Even if they are pirates? Can't your navy, or your air force, set up a garrison near the passage? ”
"There is an extremely wide area near the stable passage, and there are no solid planets suitable for humans to stay for a long time." Ding Feng could understand Zhang Zizhong's mood, so he tried his best to explain to him.
"When rushing out of the channel, the reason why the main gun is used to open the way is to prevent hitting any meteorite fragments, thereby detonating the battleship, besides, there are many such passages in the vast starry sky, some are stable and some are unstable, and they cannot be prevented." Gan Ning also said in a low voice.
Zhang Zizhong's hand fell weakly, and there were Van der Vaart on the battleship, Huo Chenggong, Xu Yue, and Wu Mei... Ding Feng said loudly beside him: "Don't worry, they bastards will never be able to escape!" ”
"I know, but even if these bastards are all killed." Zhang Zizhong shook his head sadly, his phone rang, it was Xu Chongzhi calling, Xu Chongzhi, who had already received this emergency, said to Zhang Zizhong: "You can stay on Colonel Ding's ship." ”
Because Xu Chongzhi knew that he would not come down if he called him down, Zhang Zizhong would definitely go to avenge his brother.
And Xu Chongzhi himself was like a knife, but he still had to endure it, suppressing his sadness, he said in a low voice: "You must be calm, we are already investigating the path of the pirate warship, and we will never let go of any enemy." ”
"I know, take care, General." Zhang Zizhong hung up the phone, he looked at Ding Feng: "Give me a carrier-based mecha." ”
"Zhao Dengyao has already arrived, the Marine Corps and the SA mecha commando team are boarding the ship, don't worry, I will definitely let you kill it!"
"Good. Then I'll go to sleep first, and call me when you want to kill. Zhang Zizhong turned around and left, he was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would cry in front of people.
Everyone knows the grief in his heart, Ding Feng and Gan Ning have already learned the name Huo Chenggong from him, that talented young man who was designated as the successor of national defense at the age of sixteen, and who has made great contributions to the incident here.
Zhang Zizhong regarded the young man as his own brother, and they had a deep relationship.
And now, that young man, and the battleship Keelung, which Wu Mei was on, have become the target of the enemy, and maybe, now they will soon... Ding Feng took a deep breath and looked at Gan Ning: "You take someone to urge me and tell them that if you don't do it well, you will press the battleship on their heads." ”
"Yes." Gan Ning strode out: "Guards, assemble, follow Lao Tzu to command the tower!" ”
Zhang Zizhong, who got into Ding Feng's bedroom, was already sitting on the floor decadently at the moment, how could he have thought that when the overall situation was decided, some bastards would be so crazy that they didn't even care about foreign guests, no, they were going for Van der Vaart.
If a foreign guest has an accident in Asia, Asia will definitely be under international pressure, and the winner of the Asia Incident will become the creator of the chaos, Qin no longer cares, but Xu Chongzhi will be under overwhelming pressure, and his victory will become evidence of his crime.
If it weren't for him, how could the Federation be so negligent? The enemy can always find an excuse, and the external enemy is terrible as the internal enemy!
But what kind of interests did this group of frenzied fellows have to give up in order to convince the Cossack forces to attack with such a huge force in a short time, even at the cost of becoming a public enemy of civilization?
Zhang Zizhong repeatedly told himself to be calm, only by being calm can he know who the real enemy is and what the enemy's means are, but the relationship is chaotic, he can't be quiet, Huo Chenggong, Xu Yue, Wu Mei, the figures of the three people kept intertwining in his mind, he hugged his head in pain, and then smashed the floor with a punch.
I was bloodied and unconscious.
Ding Feng, who had arranged everything, stood at the door, silently looking at this sad, always strong man, his brother, Ding Feng sat down, lit two cigarettes, and handed one to Zhang Zizhong: "Wait." ”
In fact, it is better to be silent than to say anything.
Zhang Zizhong didn't speak, just nodded, then his phone rang again, and Dai Zhenduo's voice came: "Zhang Zizhong, the Air Force Weihai Aircraft Carrier Formation and the Navy Zhenyuan Aircraft Carrier Formation will conduct joint operations, and the local garrisons near the area have also been dispatched, don't be too anxious, you must be calm, do you hear?" ”
"Yes." Zhang Zizhong said in an urn voice.
Listening to his voice, Dai Zhenduo sighed, wanted to speak and stopped, but still hung up the phone.
He said to Deng Bofang: "Let him go, otherwise he will hold back his trouble." ”
"I'll go too."
Dai Zhenduo was stunned for a moment, and then he was really angry, and Dai Zhenduo, who was rarely angry, grabbed Deng Bofang: "You go too?" ”
He roared angrily: "Go to Huo Chenggong, go to Zhang Zizhong, and now you go again, do you want to defend the future with a group of old men to fight the world?" ”
"I mean, I'll come back with Zhang Zizhong." Deng Bofang said calmly: "Self-loyalty, he is much stronger than me, and national defense cannot do without him." ”
"! You sit down for Lao Tzu. Dai Zhenduo pushed him hard: "There is no way to go, you, I won't let go, I won't let you two go!" ”
"None of you will be left behind!" Dai Zhenduo shouted.
"Then you let me arrest Chen Gongbu."
"What about the evidence?"
Deng Bofang smiled hideously: "What is evidence?" ”
Seeing that he went crazy, now the only calm person finally jumped three feet high, Dai Zhenduo hurriedly slapped Deng Bofang first, and then called the guards, regardless of Deng Bofang's struggle, ordered his gun, handcuffed him, and then stuffed directly into the room and locked the door.
Then.
The Keelung, which was worried about them, had just jumped out of the passage of the first stop, and the vast starry sky in front of them was still so beautiful, but the people on the battleship did not know that there were now eleven enemy ships in ambush ahead, and they would meet in an hour at most.
And the enemy ships in ambush don't know that in all directions, there are already countless armed warships of the Asian Federal Defense Department, directly or indirectly, coming here, but it will take more than three hours for the nearest national defense reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield.
Suddenly, there was a thud inside the Keelung.
It turned out that Huo Chenggong, who was in a panic and hugged his head, hit the wall.
But he deserved it, who told him that he couldn't bear it, so he found an opportunity to sneak into the room of the two girls, and told them the good news that Xu Chongzhi and Wu Chengde were safe.
Kindness is not rewarded, all he got in exchange was a surprise with Wu Mei and a crazy beating, and Huo Chenggong, who was huddled in the corner, looked up at the two lionesses pitifully: "Principal, it was the principal who asked me not to be busy, but I couldn't bear it." ”
"Then you might as well not say it." Wu Mei said unreasonably.
Xu Yue snorted, feeling that what Wu Mei said was very reasonable.
"Okay, count me in for a lot of things." Huo Chenggong got up with a bone: "I accompanied General Van der Vaart to visit the command room, will you go?" ”
"Go!"
Immediately, the two girls didn't want Huo Chenggong to remind them, so they told each other in an old-fashioned way, and promised: "If I want to laugh, you can pinch me." ”
"Okay, if I laugh, you can pinch me too."
Huo Chenggong, who was disheveled by them, was quite speechless, and he walked away.
