Chapter 212: All abandon the ship
After a few moments, calm finally returned to the luxurious cabin.
On that luxurious double bed, the gray-haired old Pei Zhimao was tightly wrapped in a sheet, his eyes were blank and empty, trembling, his face was blue, and the corners of his mouth were white, looking miserable and pitiful that he had been "ravaged".
On the sofa next to the bed, Si Lina was holding the pistol in her hand, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Pei Zhimao on the bed, but a pair of bright eyes followed Hao Yi who kept walking around.
The trick "torture" that Si Lina came up with was really effective for a ruthless character like Pei Zhimao, and in a few clicks, this old guy poured out all the brains that should be said. However, what Pei Zhimao explained made Haoyi startled again. Although Hao Yi had learned from Si Lina before, Pei Zhimao's attempt to lead the entire fleet to commit treason to the enemy, but the specific details of the action Hao Yi still did not know.
Just when Hao Yi planted a time bomb in the power compartment of this battleship, the battleship team, including the flagship, had already arrived at the designated star field after a space jump. Right now, the rest of the space fleet's warship squads are coming here one after another. In about half an hour, Jeff will send the receivers of the Fifth Theater to take over the command and control of all the ships in the entire fleet.
And the reason why the battleship, including the hangar, is deserted, and that is also because the captains have followed Pei Zhimao's instructions and locked all the fire control, command and other subsystems of the battleship, and all irrelevant personnel are hiding in their respective cabins, waiting for further instructions.
In other words, now the entire fleet is silently waiting for the other side to send someone over to receive the battleship. It can almost be said that Pei Zhimao's space fleet has become a fleet without any ability to resist.
As for the remote-controlled bomb on the flagship, Pei Zhimao also honestly explained it. It turned out that the bombs hidden in various vital parts of the flagship were actually not planted by Pei Zhimao in advance in order to deal with Haoyi. Even when Copolo was still in office, powerful and devastating bombs had been planted inside the flagship.
Copollo's original intention of planting these bombs is also somewhat similar to Pei Zhimao's intention, which is to deal with specific emergencies. For example, the enemy suddenly storms and lands on the flagship, or traitors appear inside the flagship to seize or destroy the control of the flagship. In that case, Copolo would lead the main command staff to evacuate the flagship and order it to be blown up to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
You must know that once the flagship falls into the hands of the enemy, they can use the command and control authority on the flagship to disrupt the deployment of the entire warship and the command of the battlefield. That would be an extremely deadly threat to the entire fleet.
After Pei Zhimao took office, this secret was also relayed to Pei Zhimao by several senior staff officers at the general level of the headquarters. What is very interesting is that Pei Zhimao and his predecessor almost unanimously chose to hide this secret from Si Lina, who is a personal adjutant and "lover". Therefore, after Si Lina heard Pei Zhimao's words, she believed it and rushed back to save her sweetheart.
What made Hao Yi even more depressed was that these remote-controlled bombs hidden in the flagship, powerful enough to blow up the battleship in an instant, had their remote-controlled detonators disappear as early as when Copolo died accidentally. Pei Zhimao was also happy with Si Lina in bed, and he was just happy to brag about it for a while. Otherwise, he would not have evacuated the flagship in such a hurry.
But then again, Pei Zhimao didn't lie about one thing. That was Sturm's high-ranking officers who opposed him, and who were indeed under house arrest by him on the flagship.
At this time, what made Hao Yi's heart irritable was that the entire fleet was about to fall into the tiger's mouth and become the opponent's anvil. There is no doubt that the other party will definitely lay a net around the so-called designated star field, just waiting for the space fleet to enter and let them slaughter at will. And once the space fleet is finished, it means that the entire St. Proli Star District will be powerless to fight back in the face of this "surprise soldier" borrowed by Jeff.
Although Pei Zhimao has fallen into the hands of Hao Yi at this moment, Hao Yi can't kill him or let him go. Among the remaining units of the Space Fleet, most of the middle and senior commanders have been replaced by Pei Zhimao's henchmen. If Hao Yi took the liberty of killing Pei Zhimao, then they would not hesitate to attack Hao Yi's battleship, even if they couldn't capture Hao Yi alive, they would turn Hao Yi and the entire battleship into wreckage in space, in order to ask for credit from the new master, Jeff. And if Pei Zhimao is released, it is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and the consequences are also unimaginable.
"You old immortal, get Lao Tzu out of bed!" After thinking about it, Hao Yi suddenly had an idea in his heart, maybe he could use Pei Zhimao to temporarily obtain the command of the entire fleet, and then think of other ways. Either let the entire fleet get out unharmed, or fight to the death with the other side. Thinking of this, Hao Yi suddenly stopped, stepped forward and pulled the trembling Pei Zhimao off the bed.
"Huh? What are you doing? After the "inhuman" abuse of Shicai, Pei Zhimao's spirit has been a little confused by Haoyi and the others. Dragged off the bed by Haoyi's big hand, the old guy grabbed the sheet in horror and asked in a trembling voice.
"Dress Lao Tzu and rush back to the flagship with your headquarters immediately! Fast! Looking at Pei Zhimao's appearance of being judged as two people before and after, Haoyi was angry and laughing, and he couldn't wait to kick the old fox away. God knows if this sinister and cunning old fox is acting for himself.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Pei Zhimao was stunned when he heard this, and he seemed to be a little afraid to believe Haoyi's words. However, when he saw Haoyi's face gloomy, he got up from the ground in a panic and was about to look for his clothes in a daze.
"Boom!" At this moment, a faint loud noise suddenly came from outside the cabin, followed by the whole battleship violently trembling and shaking in a series of loud noises. Caught off guard, even Hao Yi didn't stand firmly, and sat down on the ground with a bang, and Pei Zhimao, who had just gotten up, was thrown back into the big bed.
"I'm X! Oops! This abrupt movement immediately reminded Haoyi. The thing suddenly remembered that he had spent too much time here, and the half-hour detonation time he had set had already passed. The loud explosion outside the cabin was clearly the result of the power compartment being successfully detonated by its own time bomb.
"Attention to all crew members, attention to all crew members, the hull of the ship is seriously damaged, please evacuate to the nearest rescue cabin immediately, and wait for the evacuation ......" As soon as Haoyi's voice fell, a terrible alarm sounded in the cabin.
"What's going on? Did they break their word and attack us? Pei Zhimao's old face, who was lying softly at the head of the bed, suddenly turned pale, and he shouted in horror.
"Shut up!" Haoyi glared impatiently and scolded: "Hurry up and put on clothes for Lao Tzu!" He didn't have the heart and effort to explain to Pei Zhimao that he was originally the "smart" Jihua.
"I said beauty, don't be fucking stupid, why don't you hurry up and help this old immortal gather his command and staff officers, and let those dogs gather in the nearest hangar immediately!" After scolding Pei Zhimao, Hao Yi turned his head and happened to see Si Lina holding a pistol, lying on the sofa and trembling, looking dazed and at a loss, so angry that Hao Yi couldn't help but shout and scold.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Si Lina hurriedly answered, and even forgot to return the pistol to Haoyi, so she staggered out of the cabin.
"Ya, you're an old immortal, you're dying, what are you still picking out clothes? You can wear one casually! After giving the order to Si Lina, Haoyi turned around and saw Pei Zhimao in the closet in a panic looking for a fitting military uniform, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and kicked Pei Zhimao hard, grabbed a set of military uniforms from it and threw it to Pei Zhimao.
"Lord Marshal, no! Our battleship...... Marshal? At this moment, a huge holographic communication screen on the wall of the cabin living room lit up by itself, and a sweaty colonel flashed out of it, shouting anxiously in a panic. However, before the guy could shout, he realized that something was wrong in the cabin. Pei Zhimao was huddled on the wall, hurriedly putting on his clothes, and standing next to him was Hao Yi, who was wearing the light armor of a logistics soldier and carrying an assault rifle.
"How's the colonel doing?" Seeing that the colonel in the communicator looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Haoyi frowned, strode to the screen, and asked in a cold voice.
"You, you are ......" Obviously, the colonel also knows Haoyi, who is the new aunt of the prime minister's family, but the messy pictures in the cabin and Pei Zhimao's strange appearance and behavior make the colonel's head also messy. He was the captain of the SP01005 battleship, and he forcibly opened the communication channel unilaterally in order to report to Pei Zhimao the sudden situation of the bizarre explosion in the power compartment of the battleship. His immediate boss is on his own warship, and if such an unexpected situation happens, if he can't explain it to Pei Zhimao immediately, I'm afraid that his head will be lost.
"I'm Haoyi! Tell me, Colonel, what's going on? Haoyi also knew that the situation was urgent, and only by showing his true identity could he control the situation in the shortest possible time. So, he reached out and took off the holographic helmet that covered nearly half of his face, revealing his own head and the complete thin and pale yellow face.
"You, you're Aunt Haoyi!" The colonel's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect that this god of war uncle, who had made the entire republic tremble and crazy, would suddenly appear on his warship at this moment, and would appear in the marshal's cabin so strangely.
"I said, Colonel, are you deaf or stupid? Didn't you hear what I just said? Report back to me now! Haoyi was very dissatisfied with the flustered colonel, and his tone couldn't help but become sharp.
"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle, it's like this...... "The colonel probably knew that it was not the time to ask Hao Yi how he appeared, so he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and stammered to report.
It turned out that as Hao Yi expected, there was a chain explosion in the power compartment at the rear of the battleship, and the entire battleship had completely lost its main power. About one-third of the rear hull has been 90 percent damaged, and if they do not abandon the ship immediately and escape, the surviving officers and men on the battleship will soon follow the battleship into a pile of space junk.
"Colonel, in my capacity as the first adjutant of the General Staff, I declare that, from now on, I will take full control of the command of the Space Fleet! Now, immediately order all the officers and men of the ship to abandon the ship and transfer to the flagship! After listening to the colonel's report, Hao Yi suddenly stood up and raised his head and announced in a deep voice......
