Chapter 55: Changing Face
In silence, the Desik fleet had reached the airspace of the jump point.
"Capital Garrison First Group Fleet!" The Salga officers immediately saw the number of the ship's bow clearly.
There was no doubt that it was Ronde.
As commander of the Third Fleet, he commanded the Third Fleet for more than five years.
This fleet was the greatest guarantee for his coup d'état and its success.
Seeing the First Group of Fleets pouring out, some of the Salga generals had disdainful expressions on their faces at the same time.
You must know that during the previous Severette regime, the capital's First Group Fleet was an out-and-out Sever's personal guard. It has been at the forefront of several political crises that have erupted in various places. In just half a year, this fleet has carried out more tasks of "stabilizing order" than all other fleets in Salga combined.
Fleet Commander Ulrik. Admiral Ramsay is fifty-three years old this year. This is an old fox recognized by the generals of the Salga army, not a good bird. He was able to rise all the way to the throne of the commander of the group fleet, thanks to the politicians of the Ramsay family who hugged Seifer's thigh.
What is even more contemptible is that as a supporter of Seifer, he was originally Ronde's boss, but now he has become Ronde's first thug, which cannot but be said to be a wonderful irony. In this process, Ramsay's identity changes so quickly and his attitude is so natural that it is truly breathtaking.
There is a rumor that is infinitely true that on the night of the coup, Ramsay had called Round and asked him to immediately gather a fleet to help suppress the coup. But at the moment the phone was dialed, his staff officer reported to him that Sever's flight and that the coup army led by Rond had taken control of Skynet and won the support of the military chiefs and several military districts.
It took less than five seconds for Ramsey to throw the scathing rebuke on his lips at random ("randomly" redundant, hand tapped) and kindly and respectfully ask Round if he needed help and that he would like to be Round's staunchest supporter.
In retrospect, it is clear that Rond's series of actions after the successful coup d'état had Ramsay's shadow in them. And several old political foxes of the Ramsay family acted quickly after the fall of Seifer, which provided great help for Round to get the support of some Salga parties.
This old political family of Salga, which started by speculation, has really played the trick of seeing the wind and steering the rudder to the realm of perfection. No matter how despised they are, they must admit that in this respect they are born with a natural talent and sense of smell, and they can search all of Salega.
The black-pressed battleship clusters grew larger in the pitch-black universe. The bright portholes of the battleships also became clear, and within two minutes, hundreds of battleships were already in formation around the bandit cruisers suspended in the void, led by the pilot ships with light signals.
It seems that intentionally or unintentionally, the battleships of the capital's First Group Fleet surrounded the cruisers of the bandit army. Not even a single passage remained. At the same time, there are four C-class fleets and ten reconnaissance ships on the periphery, flying to the nearby asteroid belt and the far side of the planet to explore.
If it weren't for the fat man and Fang Xiang before, everyone might only think that the movements of the First Group Fleet were a little weird. There is no need to send so many reconnaissance forces in such a small airspace, and the fleet commander is too careful in the formation layout and reconnaissance dispatch.
And now, these actions can only show one problem - Ronde may really have a ghost in his heart!
However, compared to the speculation about Ronde, the Salga generals actually cared more about another thing.
Judging by the footage in front of them, it was clear that there was another ship watching from a distance. Their perspective is what this ship provides. However, the First Group Fleet flew by two reconnaissance ships and a C-class fleet not far in front of the camera, and they didn't even notice it.
Is this the stealth technology of the bandits? The generals exchanged shocked glances. Everyone is looking forward to it. I don't know what kind of ambush the bandit army, a dazzling army that has emerged with miraculous victories one after another, in this airspace not far from the Longbow Star Field.
Since there are spaceships with cameras aimed at the capital's First Group Fleet, there may be countless bandit warships with their bow and main guns aimed at the First Group Fleet's flagship [Dream] space carrier. They should hide in the dark night sky like ghosts. Always ready to strike a fatal blow.
No one would be naïve enough to believe that the bandits had come here with a cruiser.
The huge Salga [Epic] space carrier [Dream] slowly approached the bandit cruiser. The bridge was brightly lit, and it was covered with warning lights, and it flew under the escort of dozens of space fighters, like a huge steel mountain descending from the sky. Compared with the huge body of the Dream space carrier, the cruiser of the bandit army is like a small sparrow next to the eagle.
Although everyone was sure that the bandit army must be completely arranged, when they saw this scene, every Salga general, including Wang Nanxu, couldn't help but feel palpitations.
A small cruiser, in the center of an array of hundreds of warships, was simply powerless. No matter how precise the arrangement is, it also needs a certain amount of arrangement, and the bandit army has the ability to take down the first group fleet in an instant, otherwise as long as there is a little mistake, it will be wiped out in an instant!
Is it possible to take out a group fleet in an instant?
The generals watched in silence as the Dream slowly approached the bandit cruiser. When they saw the fat man and Fang Xiang in the sub-shot, escorted by several bandit officers and soldiers, leaving the cruiser in a small shuttle and flying into the passage of the belly of the space carrier, everyone's heart was full of cold sweat. (In other words, it should be a cold sweat in your hands, and your hands are pressed)
The Dream has a long and wide passage.
After entering the passage, the shuttle connected to the guide and flew down the coast of the guide to the depths of the mothership. Through the portholes, you can see the cold metal walls on both sides of the passage, the placement of indicator lights every ten meters, the long towing tracks, and the chutes inlaid with the wings on both sides of the fighter jet when it ejects.
Passing through the passage, a huge hall appeared in the past. (In front of the eyes, hand tapping)
Seven or eight officers in General Salga's uniform were waiting at the shuttle berth in the harbor, surrounded by a dozen staff officers and dozens of soldiers. Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, Fang Xiang still recognized Ronde standing at the front at a glance.
Compared to then, there is no significant change in Lande now. The only difference may be that his eyes have become deeper and more inscrutable than before. There is no longer the lustful frivolity and arrogance nurtured by the magnanimity of high-ranking officials when they first met many years ago.
Time and war will always change many people.
When he walked to the door of the shuttle, Fang Xiang glanced back at the fat man.
After pinching his nose with the disfiguring liquid, pinching his lips, pushing the fat on his cheeks to his cheekbones, and pulling the corners of his eyes diagonally towards his temples, the fat man now looks like a completely different person.
The guy was holding an electronic folder, wearing a major's uniform, and stood behind him as an accompanying staff officer. In the deliberately sharp eagle eyes, a pair of restless eyes turned up and down, left and right. Seeing that he was looking at him, he looked at himself with his mouth slightly half-open, and looked at himself in confusion, which was very ridiculous.
Fang Xiang couldn't help but snort, and quickly turned his head under the confused gaze of the fat man.
Many years ago, I studied for three months aboard the USS Dream. At that time, he would never have thought that one day in the future, he would return to the most powerful space carrier in Salga, accompanied by a fat man.
If it weren't for this war, this fat man might just be a dead fat man with a white and chubby face and a pair of eyes on the streets of the Federation of Leray!
With his little cleverness, he may be able to achieve something in some way, but his personality makes it impossible for him to become a hero.
His life will be filled with the triumph and foam of the common people.
He will not become the guy who has gathered the eyes of almost everyone in the two camps of the Western Covenant and the Filipino League, and he will not meet him himself, and it is even more impossible for him to come here today with only one cruiser, for his own sake, for the sake of the southeast war situation, and to take risks in the absence of the main force of the bandit army.
Fang Xiang smiled softly, I don't know why, as long as the fat man is by his side, he feels very relieved.
No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, there is no timidity!
The shuttle cabin door started (opened, hand pressed), and Fang Xiang walked down the gangway.
The fat man walked behind Fang Xiang, and the woman in front of him walked gracefully, her chin was gently raised, and her neck was as slender and graceful as a swan. Even if you only look at the back, it is a thousand kinds of enchanting style. Looking over Fang Xiang's head, the crowd waiting on the dock in front of him had their eyes straightened.
Especially Langde, who was standing at the front, even if he was smiling, he couldn't hide his greed in his eyes.
"Fang Xiang, you're finally back!"
Langde strode up and opened his hand to give Fang Xiang a hug, but Fang Xiang rushed to stand up and salute first, and shouted with a smile: "Admiral Langde!" ”
Ronde returned the salute without revealing a trace, and enthusiastically introduced the Salga officer behind Fang Xiang. When he saw Fang Xiang saluting and shaking hands with the officers, he gave himself a disgusted look, smiled and lowered his voice: "Do we still need to be so formal when we meet?" "General, you promised me to send troops to Le Lei and didn't move, and let me come back first, I depend on you, what do you want?" Fang Xiang bit her lip, glanced at him lightly, and said in a low voice. Her voice was already soft and good, but at this moment, she was coquettish, and it suddenly made people's bones crispy. Not to mention that the soul of Langde, who has always been coveted by the other party, flies into the sky, and even the fat man behind him feels a little unbearable.
You must know that on weekdays, Fang Xiang is older than the fat man An Lei and others, and she is in an important position, so she has always been a calm and calm mature female commander. But after all, she has just turned thirty years old, and it is the time when a woman's body and mind are becoming more and more mature, and her gestures are the most feminine.
Although she usually used to be with the fat man, she occasionally showed the nature of a little woman, especially when she was slighted by the fat man, the misty eyes (indicating that the fat man made a typo and pressed it with his hands), the fragrant lips that exhaled like an orchid, the shy flush on the face and the undulating full breasts, which made people think about it and it was difficult to control themselves. But after all, it's never been like this outside.
At this moment, she is wearing a well-tailored Salga military uniform, her body lines are concave and convex, and her pretty face is beautiful and charming, even if she only purses her mouth and doesn't speak, her eyes can make people's hearts beat faster and her smile can make people's hearts beat faster and be fascinated, not to mention that this can be coquettish.
***! The fat man cursed in his heart angrily.
It's a big loss! This time, I shouldn't call Sister Xiang at all, it's a big deal that I can look like Sister Xiang, and let the straight-eyed guy in front of me take advantage of it! This kind of work is coquettish, and the fat man is also very skilled in playing! With a wink, it's no problem for a guy like Mirlande to be obsessed with ten or eight.
"Okay," Ronde said with a smile as he raised his hand in surrender, "how dare I not listen to you." Let's go, go to my office, I'm going to have a separate exchange with you about the troops. ”
Individually? The fat man's ears moved, and he immediately grabbed the word. My heart suddenly became vigilant.
Although Ronde's expression in front of him was natural and gentle, the fat man, who was proficient in psychology and tricks, could still see the contrast between the smile on his face and his eyes at a glance. This is exactly the typical skin smile and meat do not smile. People with this kind of smile usually don't have any good intentions in their hearts.
"No," Fang Xiang's lingua franca accent naturally whispered with Salga's unique tone, she glanced at the fat man behind her, and introduced to Ronde: "The situation in the southeast is tense, and the allies are in a difficult situation. This special representative of Major Feng's bandit army, General Tian Xingjian, has confidential matters to discuss with you. ”
Round glanced at the fat man with a blank face, his eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "It's okay, since it's someone sent by General Tian, then I'll talk to him first." ”
As he spoke, Ronde led Fang Xiang and the fat man to the office with a smile on his face.
From the Inner Harbour Road Bridge, one needs to take the levitating elevator and walk through a long passage. Along the way, the officers and soldiers who saw Fang Xiang all stood up and saluted. Their eyes lit up, and their excitement and joy were palpable.
There were several soldiers who made eye contact with Fang Xiang and were nodded by her smile, all of them were flushed and helpless, until Fang Xiang and the others walked out of the far sea and stood in a daze. Walking beside Fang Xiang, Ronde was even more energetic. Even the waist pole is much straighter than before.
Seeing this scene on the screen, Wang Nanxu and the generals of Salga were all embarrassed. Although the First Fleet was controlled by Ronde, the Salga officers and men of the fleet still had the same devout worship and love for Fang Xiang as the rest of the Salga soldiers.
Unconsciously, this flower of the navy, which was repeatedly mentioned by the soldiers, has become the goddess of the country. With her current status, in addition to her natural beauty, it is also because in her body the dignity and glory of all the humiliated Salga soldiers of the "neutral" period are entrusted.
And Lande used Fang Xiang's image in the minds of young officers to put gold on his face.
The representatives of the young officers invited to the meeting were all pale-faced. If Fang Xiang hadn't come back in time, if she hadn't exposed Lande's lies, then perhaps this group of young officers who would return to the glory of Salga's military glory in the future would have become Land's accomplice to Salega's dictatorship.
Once he has consolidated his position of power, it will not be as easy to solve as it is now.
At that time, if you want to put things right, you may have to pay the price of the outbreak of civil war in Salga, and the death of thousands of people!
However, is Ronde really the kind of person Fang Xiang and the fat man say?
The miniature photographic lens mounted on the fat man's body swayed slightly as he walked. Moments later, the group had passed through three heavy blast doors to the door of the central office area on the third floor of the bridge.
As a space carrier and the core office area of the flagship of the capital's First Fleet, the Dream was designed to strengthen the defense of this part. To get to the core office area, not only do you need to go through four automatic doors that are specially designed to defend against mecha destruction, and even the destroyer's main gun bombards it is difficult to break through, but also set up an internal energy shield, a mecha guard company and a special escape pod in the office area.
The passage to the commander's office has been added with three identical blast doors, which are not an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable.
Seeing all this in front of them, the Salga generals were deeply afraid.
This defense system in the space carrier's office area is a guarantee for the commander's life and command system, but for others who enter it, it is tantamount to a cage from which there is simply no escape. The fat man and Fang Xiang entered here, and before they came out, the fleet ambushed by the bandits would not dare to do anything with their lives. And if Ronde does something unusual, the consequences are unimaginable.
Fat man and Fang Xiang, what do you want to do? What exactly is the plan of the bandits?
Was it worth the risk to give the young officers a proof, to keep Salga from chaos and civil war?
"You accompany the soldiers to rest in the living quarters, and when you get here, everyone is the same as when you go home, don't be restrained." On the camera, Lande explained to the adjutant beside him, and nodded to Fang Xiang and several bandit guards behind the fat man, then opened the automatic door and said to the fat man and Fang Xiang: "Let's go, let's go inside." ”
Fang Xiang smiled, and the fat man didn't care, they were all naturally rooted behind Land. After passing through a few more automatic doors, the three of them arrived at Ronde's office. As soon as he entered the office, Ronde laughed and walked to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of wine, raised a glass to the fat man and Fang Xiang, and drank it all to himself.
"Say, your General Tian, what do you want to say to me?" The smile on Ronde's face vanished as he lowered his glass.
He squinted coldly at the fat man, the heavy automatic doors of his office closed tightly. From the lounge on the side, Ramsey and two heavily armed guards slowly walked out, looking at the fat man and Fang Xiang with blank faces.
The black hole pointed at the muzzle of the fat man and Fang Xiang, making the atmosphere suddenly tense.
