"Your Excellency the Deputy Marshal, there is a set of secret communications from the planet Tikru waiting for your orders!" At the headquarters of the Space Fleet, Copolo was in his huge office, staring at the holographic star field map on the wall, and a sweet female voice suddenly sounded from the communicator on the desk behind him.

"Secret communications from Tikru?" Copolo came to his senses when he heard the sound, frowned and groaned slightly, then turned around and walked to the desk, and ordered in a deep voice to the beautiful captain female adjutant in the communicator: "Channel 03, take it in!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Deputy Marshal!" The female adjutant smiled sweetly at Copolo and replied respectfully.

"Wait, Shi Lina!" Hearing the beautiful adjutant mention Jeff's title of Ann again, Copol's old brows furrowed even deeper, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Don't call me by the title of "Your Excellency the Deputy Marshal" next time, you know?" Call me "Commander"! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" The beautiful adjutant didn't seem to be stunned at all, still smiled sweetly obediently, and then started to switch communication channels.

"General!" After the image of the beautiful adjutant disappeared, about a moment later, the image of a colonel officer wearing the rank of colonel with a serious face suddenly flashed in the book-sized communicator. As soon as the colonel saw Copol, he subconsciously saluted a standard military salute and said respectfully.

"Sturm? How are you? Copol's eyes widened in surprise and he lost his voice.

The colonel, Sturm, was originally the commander of a battleship squad under the command of the Copolo fleet. Previously, because Bob borrowed six battleships from Copolo in the name of encircling and suppressing interstellar pirates. Along with these ships, thousands of fleet officers and soldiers were on board. In fact, it is equivalent to assigning this battleship squad directly to the planetary government of Tikru. Because of the change of communication code, Copol, as the supreme commander of the fleet, lost contact with this team a long time ago.

Just after hearing the lieutenant say that it was a secret communication from the planet Tikru, the first thought that appeared in Copolo was that Bob must have come to the door himself. For the Zuihou ultimatum that Jeff issued to Tikru, Copolo naturally knew its meaning, and also knew that Bob and the others would inevitably be in a dilemma at this moment. At this moment, he and the space fleet under his command have vaguely become the most important bargaining chip, and no matter which side he falls towards, it will definitely bring a decisive strategic role to this side. Thus, there seemed to be no reason why Bob should not come to himself. However, at the moment, it was actually his old subordinate, Senior Colonel Sturm, who took the initiative to contact him, which did not surprise Copol.

"Yes, General, it's a subordinate!" Sturm is middle-aged, with a tall figure peculiar to the people of St. Prolli, a square face with Chinese characters, and a face that is not smiling. At this moment, hearing the old boss call out his name, Sturm rarely showed a smile, nodded lightly and said, "Long time no see, the general is still so strong!" In the Space Fleet, most senior officers have always been accustomed to addressing Copolo as "general" rather than "commander," "commander," or "deputy marshal."

"Don't be polite! Tell me, what's the matter with my old boss? Copolo waved his hand, his old eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he asked with a half-joking, half-serious smile: "Is it difficult, you want to tell me that you are ready to return to the fleet with your team?" ”

"Yes, General!" What Copolo didn't expect was that Sturm actually put away his smile, restored his usual unsmiling face, and replied seriously: "This is not a joke general, his subordinates guarantee with their own personality and the head of the neck, and everything I say now has no intention of deceiving you!" ”

"Oh?" Sturm's words made Copolo's face suddenly solemn, and his white eyebrows were silent. Sturm was probably familiar with Copol's habits, and waited quietly for Copolo to continue speaking.

"Everything in the fleet has been arranged?" A moment later, a fierce gaze flashed in Copollo's old eyes, staring at Sturm and suddenly asked.

"It's been arranged, General!" Sturm replied in a deep voice: "All the officers and soldiers in the squad support the decision to return to the fleet, and now just wait for your instructions, the six warships belonging to this squad will all drive back to the fleet headquarters!" ”

"Does the government of Tikru know of your decision?"

"General, this is a secret decision of all the soldiers of our squad, and you can also think that we are a battlefield uprising! Rest assured, the Tikru side is not aware of our decision, and there is not a single Tikru personnel on any of the ship. Since half an hour ago, all of our team's communications with the Tikoru side have been artificially interrupted, and the Tikoru government can be said to have no idea of our actions! Sturm said proudly.

"Give me a reason, Sturm!" Copol's sharp old eyes kept flickering, and his heart moved and asked in a deep voice.

"Why?" Hearing Copol's words, Sturm was slightly surprised, and then as if he was thinking about something, he silently lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then raised his head to meet Coporo's fierce old gaze, and replied: "General, I think the current trend of our star district, you should know better than anyone else!" To put it simply, just four words, "the general trend"! ”

"The general trend?" A smile tugged at the corner of Copol's mouth, "Let's be clear, my colonel!" ”

"General, in a word, I and the thousands of soldiers in the squad want to leave a way for ourselves to live!" Sturm finally sighed lightly, revealing a sad look: "Everyone knows that with only our six warships, it is impossible to confront the entire fleet!" In that case, all the soldiers in our squad will die to the point that there will be no scum left! ”

After hearing this, which seemed to be Sturm's sincere words, Copolo smiled, stood up from behind his desk, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and groaned.

Seeing Copol's appearance, Sturm also closed his mouth in recognition, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he stood quietly in place, waiting for Copolo's reply. The reason why this was so was because he was familiar with Copol's habits and knew that once Copolo paced back and forth in place, it meant that the old general had been moved by what he had just said.

"Sturm!" Sure enough, after wandering around the same place for a few laps, Copolo suddenly stood still in front of his desk again, and the old brow frowned and shouted.

"Inferior!" Sturm hurriedly stepped forward and replied proudly.

"Get your squad ready, and in half an hour, I will order the remote lock of all the warships of your squad to be lifted and the command and control of the battleships returned!" Copolo ordered with a straight face: "Then, your department must lock the fire control system by yourself, and fly back to the fleet headquarters to report in the shortest possible time!" Do you understand? ”

"Obey the general!" Sturm seemed unable to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and saluted excitedly in response.

"Don't be busy rejoicing Colonel!" Seeing this, Ke Poluo's face suddenly changed, and he pulled the elder's face and reminded him coldly: "As your former boss, General Ben naturally welcomes you to return to the team!" However, in these extraordinary times, I must say ugly things ahead. If you find out that your team has any ulterior motives, then I'm sorry, don't blame General Ben for not remembering the friendship of his former comrades! ”

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the old Copol, and he saw that Sturm's heart was subconsciously excited.

"General, please rest assured! I and thousands of my officers and men are absolutely loyal to the headquarters of the fleet and to your command! Sturm hurriedly put on a look of sincere fear, bowed his head slightly, and said solemnly: "If the subordinates and others have a second heart, they will be willing to be thundered by the sky!" ”

"Hehe, of course I don't worry, I don't have to thunder! You kids can't climb my Five Finger Mountain! Hearing this, a sneer of contempt appeared at the corner of his mouth, Ke Poluo snorted coldly, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go Colonel!" Settle your men! Remember, after half an hour, I'll have someone reach out to you, the communication channel or the old channel of the fleet, understand? ”

"Yes, General!" Sturm saluted again respectfully, and then cut off the communication.

Seeing that the hologram of the communicator on the table dimmed again, Copolo frowned and pondered for a moment, and then clicked on the communicator again.

"Shi Lina, connect me to Marshal Jeff's private channel immediately!" Copolo ordered the beautiful lieutenant in the picture.

"Please wait, Your Excellency, Commander!" The beautiful adjutant with a pair of huge headphones smiled at Copolo with a sweet and habitual smile, and a pair of jade hands began to crackle.

"Please enter the communication request password, Your Excellency, Commander!" A virtual alphanumeric keypad emerges with the crisp voice of the beautiful adjutant. After a moment's thought, Coporo stretched out his finger and clicked on it a string of passwords that only he and Jeff knew.

"Connection, wait, Commander!" With a series of words from the beautiful adjutant like a computer prompt, her beautiful image suddenly disappeared, replaced by a pair of black and white subtitles waiting to be connected.

"My honorable Deputy Marshal, is there anything wrong with me so late?" A moment later, the communicator saw the image of Jeff in a large, ornate silk nightgown, a pair of snow-white jade hands like lotus roots, wrapped around his neck like a water snake, and a fragrant carcass looming behind him. Apparently, the young "Generalissimo" is enjoying a "happy" time with a certain beauty.

"Jeff, I have something important to talk to you about alone!" Copolo unceremoniously called Jeff by his first name.

"Say it!" Seeing Coprola's old face, a hint of displeasure flashed on Jeff's face. However, his unhappy look also flashed, and then he turned around and whispered to the beautiful woman behind him, and then he heard the beautiful woman leave the picture with a smile.

"Remember what I told you about Bob's battleship squad?" Copolo didn't care about Jeff's faint displeasure at all, and asked directly.

"Remember, it's not just six battleships. What's wrong? Jeff asked, stunned.

Copolo nodded lightly, and then talked about the matter of the right talent Sturm.

"What do you mean, old general?" From Copol's description, Jeff also seemed to smell something wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while, so he had to ask with a deep frown.

"I suspect there's a scam in it!" Copolo summed it up briefly.
