On the third day after Qi Yanyan left, Fang Shi followed a small fleet out of Base 4 of the First Military District of Turs and reported to the Second Fleet of the Imperial Seventh Army in Area G of the Eastern Region's Front Defense Zone.

The front line defense area of the Eastern Region of the Empire is divided into seven defense sections, namely A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, and the seven sections are connected to each other in turn to form the defense line of the Eastern Region of the Empire, of which the Seventh Army is responsible for Area G.

According to the arrangement of the Imperial Military Department, Fang Shi was assigned to the Second Fleet of the Seventh Army, and he had a brief understanding of this Second Fleet before heading to Huamo Star.

At the beginning of the all-out war between the empire and the alliance, the Seventh Group of the Empire barely resisted the massive attack of the Galactic Alliance's grand fleet, but it itself also suffered extremely serious injuries, and the entire group army was seven or eight, and only three fleets remained from more than 20 fleets large and small. At present, the Seventh Army barely has more than 2,000 warships with the supplement and support of the imperial government, of which the main fleet is the First Fleet with more than 1,000 warships, and the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, each of which has more than 500 warships, which is definitely several times stronger than the sweep and clearance fleet in the hinterland of the Eastern Region, but it is nothing in the face of the Galactic Alliance Grand Fleet.

There are a total of nine planets of various sizes in Section G of the Eastern Region's Front Defense Zone, of which only three are suitable for human habitation, and the other six planets are barren planets with extremely harsh environments. Huamo Star, one of the three planets suitable for human habitation, is the planet where the Second Fleet of the Seventh Army is stationed, and it is also the destination of Fangshi's voyage.

The planet Tours is not far from the Eastern Region front. Fang Shi's battleship sailed in less than three days before entering the defense line area of the Eastern Region, and then continued to sail in the direction of the southeast space area.

Two days later, the fleet arrived at its destination, Huamoxing, and landed in a large spaceport.

In the spaceport, it seems a little cold and solemn.

Fang Shi slowly walked out of the battleship, and there were dozens of other people with him, they were all mechanics who had been reinforced to the Second Fleet like Fang Shi, but they were not only mecha mechanics, but also battleships, fighters, and so on, and there seemed to be less than ten mecha mechanics. However, there seem to be quite a few more on other warships.

Outside the battleship. Military vehicles were already waiting.

Fang Shi followed the mechanics and got into a military vehicle similar to a bus.

The vehicle quickly started and sped off towards the exit of the spaceport.

Looking at the slightly gloomy sky outside the car window, Fang Shi inadvertently recalled the gray sky of K3 Mine Star, which seemed to never change, and also gave people a faint and difficult to wave away a sense of oppression. It's a little uncomfortable.

After the vehicle drove out of the spaceport. Then they drove towards the construction area not far away.

The buildings in the built-up area are similar to those seen in the ashlar of the military base. Obviously, this area is also a special military zone.

Half an hour later, the vehicle stopped in front of a tall building in the military district.

Fang Shi followed the crowd and quickly got out of the car.

Several young lieutenant-rank officers stepped forward to greet them, and each of them greeted a different type of mechanic.

The dozens of mechanics in the car were immediately divided into several different camps according to different categories. There are more than a dozen people, and only a few people are few. There were only seven people in the mecha mechanic camp that Fang Shi joined.

"Everyone, please come with me."

Leading the ashlar was a young ensign, and the emblem on his uniform was also a special mechanic, apparently the other party was also a mechanic.

Fang Shi was dressed in a lieutenant colonel uniform, but it attracted the attention of the young second lieutenant.

The young lieutenant was quite surprised, and he couldn't help but wonder who the lieutenant colonel was in front of him, and it was extremely rare for a mechanic to have the rank of lieutenant colonel.

As for the six mechanics who were with Fang Shi, they had paid attention to the battleship before, and there was nothing surprising at this time.

Under the guidance of the young ensign, Fang Shi and the seven people walked into a rather spacious conference hall, there were already dozens of people sitting in the hall, their military uniforms were all uniform mechanic uniforms, obviously this conference hall was specially designed to welcome mecha mechanics.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you sit down first, and when everyone is ready, the welcome party can begin." The young lieutenant said politely.

Fang Shi and the others found a place to sit down.

In the conference hall, many people cast curious glances at Fang Shi, the main reason is Fang Shi's rank of lieutenant colonel, most of them are lieutenant ranks, and the captain level is relatively rare, at this time, a lieutenant colonel level suddenly came in, and there was naturally some surprise in his heart.

Fang Shi sat in a corner, he didn't care about everyone's curious eyes, just waited quietly.

In the hall, groups of mechanics walked into the conference hall one after another.

More than 20 minutes later, there were more than 100 mechanics in the conference hall, and many of them were already whispering and talking a little noisy.

A moment later, a middle-aged officer with the rank of major and several officers of the rank of captain walked slowly into the conference hall, their uniforms also bearing the special insignia of a mecha mechanic.

The middle-aged major slowly walked to the front desk of the meeting, while the first few captain-level officers sat down in the first row.

In the conference hall, the chatter stopped, apparently knowing that the person who came in should be someone from the Second Fleet.

The middle-aged major glanced at the people in the conference hall slightly, a rather gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said unhurriedly: "Hello everyone, I am Song Chaoyang, deputy chief of the mechanic group of the Second Fleet of the Seventh Army, and I welcome you on behalf of all the members of the mechanic crew of the Second Fleet......

Song Chaoyang appeared very modest, first expressed a warm welcome, and then began to unhurriedly introduce the Second Fleet and the machine repair group, which currently has 532 combat warships, more than 1 million combat personnel, nearly 10,000 combat mechas, and tens of thousands of fighters......

Through Song Chaoyang's introduction, the more than 100 mechanics who came to report in the conference hall had a preliminary understanding of the Second Fleet.

Fang Shi sighed slightly in his heart, the strength of this front-line defense area was really not comparable to the sweeping and clearing fleet he had seen before, a second fleet that was not considered the main fleet already had a very strong strength in his opinion, and it was definitely easy to crush the ghost fleet that attacked the minesweeping fleet in the first place.

Song Chaoyang's speech lasted for half an hour before stopping, and then several more people came to the stage, and their speeches mainly related to issues related to mechanics, such as the code of conduct of mechanics in the fleet, and the obligations and responsibilities of mechanics......

Finally, a young captain stepped up to the stage and read out a list of assignments for the new mechanics.

The Second Fleet's mechanic group has nearly 2,000 mechanics, a total of 11 brigades, and the new 100 mechanics are assigned to various mechanic brigades.

When the list was read out, Fang Shi, who was sitting in the corner, frowned slightly, because his name was not in the list.

"Was it missed?"

Fang Shi's face showed some doubt, but there was a slight suspicion in his heart.

The meeting was closed shortly after the reading of the list of allocations.

In the conference hall, all the mechanics got up and left in an orderly manner.

Fang Shi didn't get up, but sat quietly, and Song Chaoyang, the deputy chief of the second fleet's machine repair group, nodded to him deliberately, and made a look, which roughly meant that he should wait a little longer.

After a while, the conference hall had become empty, leaving only Song Chaoyang and Fang Shi.

Song Chaoyang got up slightly and said politely, "Lieutenant Colonel Fang, hello." ”

Fang Shi had already stood up and said, "Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Song. ”

Song Chaoyang smiled slightly and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Fang, are you surprised that your name is not on the distribution list." ”

Fang Shi nodded lightly, but didn't say anything, waiting for the other party's answer, from Song Chaoyang's words, he understood that he had not been forgotten, but there seemed to be another special arrangement, which couldn't help but make him slightly curious in his heart.

Song Chaoyang didn't sell anything, and explained: "Actually, we have already arranged a position for you, but before you arrived, the mechanic team received a new temporary appointment for you. ”

"Temporary appointment?" Fang Shi was slightly surprised in his heart, in fact, after learning about the arrangements of the Imperial Military Department at Base 4 of the First Military District of Turs Planet, Qi Yanyan had privately expressed his concern to him, and suspected that someone had deliberately made some special arrangements for him. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the order of the military department had been issued, and there was almost no possibility of change, but he still kept a slight eye. And now a temporary order suddenly popped up, which really surprised him, could it be someone who gave him a special "care" again, thinking of this result, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.

Song Chaoyang nodded and said, "Yes, that temporary transfer order came from the headquarters of the Seventh Army, and it was to temporarily transfer you to the First Fleet Mechanic Group." Hehe, Lieutenant Colonel Fang, this first fleet's mechanic group is more promising than the second fleet. ”

"Huh!" Fang Shi was a little confused, he had just arrived in the Second Fleet and was about to be transferred to the First Fleet, could there really be anyone who wanted to deal with him, he was not very optimistic about the future now, and his heart was more bitter.

"Could it really be as Yanyan suspects, it was Hua Chenyi who was doing it?"

Fang Shi's mind moved slightly, since joining the imperial military, he felt that he didn't seem to have offended any big people, and the only one who was a little estranged was probably Hua Chenyi.

Song Chaoyang paused and continued: "Lieutenant Colonel Fang, don't worry, we will arrange for you to go to the First Fleet station as soon as possible." ”

Fang Shi nodded helplessly.
