Chapter 374: Heavy Machine

The attention of the night quickly attracted the new transport plane, and he asked the colonel curiously: "Colonel Boone, is this transport plane a new type of aircraft?" ”

"Yes." The Colonel replied, "The latest Ghost Transporter, the first of our Federation to use an ion jet engine, is very assault and concealment. These are the credit of the Aria Group, the new high-power ion jet engine, hehe. The aircraft was developed to transport assault troops deep behind enemy lines and withdraw, or to covertly transport supplies to troops behind enemy lines. In the future, when the camouflaged troops need to retreat urgently, they will be used to transport the troops out, and it is difficult for the imperial troops without air supremacy to find this kind of transport aircraft. Without the noise and heat of the Galactic transporters, the Empire was unable to detect the Transports passing through their defenses, the weak spots behind them, and dealing them a fatal blow. ”

"Good stuff." Night's evaluation of this transport plane is simple, "But this kind of transport aircraft cannot replace the position of the Galaxy in the Federation, after all, the Galaxy transports four times as much." ”

"That's right. Hehe, the Galaxy is the world's largest transport aircraft, without their help, without the fearlessness of their pilots, we would probably not be more than the dark years at the beginning of the war. "Colonel Boone was stationed at New London before the outbreak of the war, and he experienced the rout in the Western Continent at that time, and he deeply remembered that the galactic transport planes forced their way through the encirclement and blockade of the Empire despite the danger, and airdropped much-needed weapons to the federal officers and soldiers. Ammunition. Food. Medicines and other supplies. In the lost area, these respectable transport pilots flew their favorite planes, under the cover of the Air Force Hellfire formation, desperately risked the danger of crashes, landed on the rudimentary runway, transported batch after batch of Union Army soldiers, and transported the Federation's precious living forces to safety. For this, the Federation lost a large number of excellent transport pilots and Galaxy transport aircraft. But also rescued countless precious soldiers. It was the fearlessness of these pilots that allowed the Federation to stop the Empire's offensive, and it was the withdrawal of these soldiers that gave the Federation the strength to counterattack the Empire.

"Yes." Although Ye was not involved in the debacle at that time, Ye was well aware of the importance of having outstanding logistics forces, especially airlift forces, for an army unit. And Ye has also seen the fearlessness of these Galaxy Transport Plane pilots, and the courage to rush through the night rain clouds is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Next to the black transport plane, the dragon knight of the night has already arrived. With the help of a group of ground staff. The truck is slowly reversing, connecting the platform behind it to the rails of the transporter.

The night after getting out of the car knew that these ground crews would have to tinker for a while. And this time is just the right time for Ye to take a closer look at this new transport aircraft of the Federation. The Ghost Transporter is painted in matte black and is made up of diamonds and bevels all over, which helps the transport aircraft to conceal itself from the opponent's Nightda in an environment free of Mega particles. The shape of the whole aircraft reminds the night of a sea creature, manta rays, with wide wings in front of it that spread out and then gradually shrink to be completely merged in the tail, so that the huge wings help the transport plane to take off on a short airfield, and also help the transport plane to glide and make a forced landing when it loses power. Four huge ion-jet engines are just below the wings, and the wide wings provide enough spaced between the four engines so that they do not form particle interference with each other and affect the speed of the transport aircraft, that is, this kind of transport aircraft should be the fastest among the four-ion engine aircraft, and the reason why I haven't seen an ion-engine aircraft with a wingspan larger than the ghost at night.

There is a big difference between the Ghost and the Galactic in the way they carry cargo. In order to carry more cargo, the Galaxy has designed a side-by-side double cargo bay structure, and the Galaxy's cabin height is also very high, which can fit into a crouching mech, which makes the Galaxy transport aircraft appear pot-bellied, but this seemingly extremely bulky design can allow the Galaxy to carry a terrifying number of supplies or equipment at once. Due to the limitation of the amount of carrying, the ghost only uses the design of a single cargo compartment, and it is much lower than that of the galaxy, the mecha can only lie down and put it into the cargo hold, and it only has the capacity of one, but the sacrifice of cargo capacity makes the ghost still extremely fast when it is fully loaded, and the flexibility is also very good. Judging from the characteristics of the two transport aircraft, the Galaxy is an extremely excellent logistics transport aircraft, while the Phantom is a cutting-edge assault transport aircraft. The purpose of the Ghost designed by the top of the Federation is probably to avoid the large-scale sacrifice of those fearless and excellent pilots during the original rout, after all, the purpose of the galaxy is not to fly in enemy airspace and take off and land in rudimentary airfields.

After a circle around the transport plane at night, it got into the transport plane, the unsheltered airport was too hot in the direct sunlight, fortunately human beings invented air conditioning, or how to stay in this kind of place, the night couldn't help but sigh that they were born in the era of air conditioning.

Entering the cabin of the transport plane, a puff of air mixed with engine oil came to my nose, and all the maintenance depots and weapons supply depots smelled very good at night.

"Hello boss, I'm the captain of this ghost transport plane, Captain Zhang Tianli, and it's an honor to transport the mecha for you." The captain, who was on standby in the control room, immediately ran to the cabin to report to the night when he found out that the night had come in.

"Rest off, Captain. Night. Huaxia special captain, the pilot of the big guy in the back. Night smiled and returned the salute, pointing to the thunderbolt behind that had been transported to the cargo hold. Some ground crews are fixing the bolts of the platform and cargo hold rails, and when everything is done, it will be ready to take off at night.

"You're really the Grim Reaper, hehe, can you sign a name for me?" The captain became even more excited when he heard Night's introduction, and magically took out a notebook and a pen from behind him.

Ye smiled and took the notebook and pen, and Long Feifeng Wu signed his English name, "The request of my compatriots will naturally be accepted." ”

Night's words made Captain Zhang stunned for a moment, "I thought you were a half-breed or a Korean?" ”

"Huh?" Night raised his eyebrows, and when he handed back the autographed book, he asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

The corners of Captain Zhang's embarrassed mouth hooked slightly: "Chinese people only use English names if they are mixed-race, and there are many Korean people who use English names when they join the army." As for the Yamato people. Most of these guys are on the Empire's side. The Federal Military Department unified the Yamato people into an army. With close surveillance, it is impossible for Yamato people to exist in ordinary troops. ”

"Hmm. I see. Night made a sudden realization, after entering the army, he decided to go to the front line to kill all the imperial soldiers with his own hands, and Ye never cared about the decision of the military department, as long as he could always fight on the front line.

The co-pilot of the transport plane also ran into the cabin and shouted to Captain Zhang Tianli, who was chatting with the night: "Boss, the ground crew has finished fixing the mecha, and the tower signals that we can take off." ”

"Really? How can their ground crew move faster today? Captain Zhang looked surprised, turned around and said to the night embarrassedly: "Captain Night." Please rest well in the cabin and we will take you to Tris to meet Major General Garancha. ”

"OK, there you go." Night waved his hand to signal that the captain didn't mind, and then he lay down a seat and began to sleep, the continuous fighting and the lack of adaptation to the desert climate made Night feel a little tired.

Guided by the tower, the Night Ghost Transport, escorted by a squadron of Hellfire fighters, flew towards Tris, the largest city of the Federation in the Tyrald Desert.

Tris Airport. Major General Garancha stood in the waiting hall in military uniform, surrounded by his staff officers. He was here to personally greet the arrival of the night, and the reason why not long before that, a promotion order from the Federal High Command had been sent to him, according to the content of the promotion order, Galancha had to meet the arrival of the night at the airport.

There were still some sleepy-eyed nights, but I didn't expect Major General Garancha to come to greet him in person, hurriedly tidy up his military appearance, and then walked forward.

"Night. Captain Huaxia reports to you, chief. The night snapped in front of Major General Garancha with a standard military salute.

"Welcome, Captain Major. Hehe, take a break, I'm Heinz. William. Major General Garancha, commander here. This is the first and last time you've called me Chief. "Garancha and Ye are the first time they have met, this major general with extraordinary skills in armored tactics has long heard of Jax's famous name, and now that they have met, they joke with Ye, at least Ye thinks this major general is joking.

Raising his eyes and looking at the suspicion on Ye's face, Garancha took an order from his staff officer's hand, and raised it to Ye with a smile, "We have once again set a new record for the fastest promotion in the Federation, and the special captain obeys the order." In recognition of the success of the Rogilas in the pursuit of the rebels, the Victoris successfully destroyed the rebel flagship, the Menedis, and killed the night captain of the rebel commander Halton, the military department decided to promote you to a special major, hehe. In terms of military rank, you are half a step older than me. ”

Ye took the promotion order from the major general and stuffed it into his pocket, although Garancha did not read it according to the military order, but the concise meaning Ye already understood the reason why he had contributed to the suppression of the rebels, and he had been promoted to another rank.

"Hehe, hasn't the military department made it more difficult for the pilots to be promoted to the military rank, why am I still promoted faster." I couldn't help but wonder at night, I didn't have the special captain badge on my shoulder for long, and I had to change it again.

It's the first time I've seen someone suspicious after receiving a promotion order, and it seems that the little ghost in front of him has no idea about his own merits. Garancha smiled and explained to the night: "You have to take at least half of the credit for killing the rebel commander, plus the number of 14 mechs destroyed, if you don't get promoted, I'm afraid that the pilots of the whole Federation will rebel." ”

"Are you sure, I reported the coordinates of the Menedis, and there are many great credits, hehe." Night knew the weight of the credit for killing Halton, but he didn't expect to get a piece of the pie, which really took advantage of Rogeras's terrifying power and range.

A Germanic man like Garancha, who was extremely strict, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ye's words, "You Chinese people have said that excessive modesty is pride. ”

Ye Wuxin shook his head and took out a shelf, "Major General, have I ever been modest?" Then he couldn't hold back his laughter first.

Garancha rolled his eyes again, but it also made the appearance of the night amused, "Who said that Huaxia people are very modest." ”

While the two were talking, a liaison officer ran over, "Admiral Jax's transport plane is about to arrive, chief." ”

"Okay, got it." Garancha bowed slightly to the liaison soldier, signaling that he knew, and then took a bag from the staff officer's hand and handed it to Yedao, "Quickly change it in, the second highest officer of our New London Star Army." ”

"How can it be the second highest-ranking official, I only have temporary command of the battlefield, and the overall strategic and tactical guidelines are still determined by you. We have a different division of labor, so it doesn't matter the size of the army, I don't see the major of the general staff, in some military districts under the jurisdiction of the major general, is it more effective than the major general's speech? Night took the delicate little bag and took out the special major epaulette inside and replaced it with his own special captain epaulette, while opposing Garancha's words.

Garancha patted the new epaulettes of the night, smiled and saluted, "Chief, that's also some unqualified major generals." If any major from the staff dares to come to me, I will drag him out for ten days or eight days. ”

"Take a break, Major General." Night said again deliberately with a head.

The Germanic people felt that the humble image left by the Chinese people in the past was completely shattered, "Give you some sunshine, and you will be brilliant." ”

After laughing for a while, he changed the topic and said, "You dare to punish the people in the General Staff, aren't you afraid that the old guy in the General Staff will give you small shoes to wear?" ”

"Afraid of what? Just those old guys, holding the tactics of decades ago and hundreds of years ago as treasures, but they don't know that the current war has completely changed. These guys are best described in one word from your Huaxia. ”

"The frog at the bottom of the well." The two of them said in unison.

"Boss." The staff officer on the side raised his eyes and saw that the two of them were chatting again, and couldn't help but remind, "Admiral Jax is coming, you should go to the airport to meet the admiral's arrival now." ”

Garancha didn't seem to hear and continued to want to chat with Ye, but Yeyi dragged the major general and walked towards the entrance of the departure hall, Chief Erwin had already finished the battle near Emma, personally rushed to Tris, and commanded the Federation Army near the Terrad Desert to start a counterattack.

It was about the same as when they were at the Lavino base, with a large number of galactic transport planes hovering over Tris Airport under the escort of the Hellfire Brigade, and Admiral Jax's transport planes landed one by one, this time the Admiral's plane was changed from a galaxy to a ghost transport plane.
