His intimate behavior was rudely resisted by Jiang Ziyue, and he was also rejected by Gus? Whitehead teased, Rota? Staudet shot back in annoyance: "White head, the affairs of our husband and wife have nothing to do with you. (This book is reprinted from the Κxs Literary Network)"

"Haha." Gus immediately let out a loud laugh, "When did you become husband and wife?" ”

Jiang Ziyue also hurriedly said: "Luota, pay attention to your words, we are just ordinary comrades-in-arms." ”

Gus pointed at Lota and said, "Jiang Ziyue doesn't admit it." You are forcibly married, it is an arranged marriage, it is all in the thirtieth century, wow, there is such a thing. ”

In the tactical command center of the battleship "Gustav II", the control staff of his subordinates looked at the three commanders in surprise. When discussing the situation on the battlefield in a serious tactical command center, he can still take out his personal emotions to ridicule and joke as if no one is there, and in the entire imperial army, I am afraid that only when the three young commanders in front of him get together can such a strange and even absurd phenomenon appear.

Not to be outdone, Lota pointed at Jiang Ziyue and said, "Didn't they Chinese say: One day husband and wife for a hundred days?" ”

"How can you call a one-day husband and wife?" Gus laughed and said, "I can't even do it." ”

In front of more than a dozen command and control personnel of the flagship, he openly ridiculed the scandal that annoyed him, which made Jiang Ziyue feel very embarrassed. But he couldn't do it, so he shouted, "Guys, get down to business." If the Bundeswehr really wants to kill three birds with one stone, is it necessary for us to fight the enemy here? ”

Gus resumed the solemn demeanor of a professional soldier when discussing combat, and said: "Based on the current overall strength comparison between the enemy and us, as well as our national defense strategy, I am quite sure that the enemy must be prepared to kill three birds with one stone this time. ”

It is well known that the total strength of the army of the New Roman Empire lagged behind the Perseus Interstellar Federation. Neither the number of battleships nor the total number of troops could achieve parity with the Federation. In fact, the overall strength of the army of the new Roman Empire has not fully recovered to the level it was eighteen years ago, that is, before the Battle of the "Himalayas" in 2890. The root cause of this imbalance in military strength is not only the economic foundation of the two countries, but also the reason for military spending.

Commonwealth in Richard? After Milhouse was elected, he vigorously expanded his armaments and warfare, and his military spending skyrocketed year after year. Moreover, both in national government and in the building of the army, they pursued a policy of pragmatism, and used war funds as much as possible for projects that could fight the enemy. Despite the professionalism of the Bundeswehr and the salaries of soldiers, the proportion of expenditure 'spent' on soldiers and other non-combat activities is not significant.

On the contrary, the New Roman Empire suffered a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Machu Picchu, was forced to accept the proposal of the five-star Admiral Su Yu, and signed the "Provisional Armistice Treaty" with the Federation, and has been committed to economic recovery and improvement of people's livelihood.

In particular, after Wang Zeren came to power, in order to secretly weaken the influence of the conservatives and the Central Fleet controlled by them, he implemented the "project of living and working in peace and contentment" throughout the New Roman Empire. Through the real estate enterprises owned by the whole people, the Imperial Government provides a standard house for every legal unhoused Imperial family free of charge, and the house of Jiang Ziyue's family is a typical example of this standard housing. At the same time, the government reduced taxes for the middle and low-income strata and allocated funds to colleges and universities to provide free vocational training to the whole people, thus continuously reducing the financial input to the army, especially the Central Fleet. Therefore, the Imperial Army has not increased its funding for ten consecutive years, especially the funding gap for the construction of the new battleship "Commander" class is quite large.

On the other hand, the money invested in war projects was also squeezed by military welfare and ceremonies that lacked practical value. The "Valhalla", where the remains of martyrs are buried on each planet under the rule of the Senate and the Roman people, was 'drawn' from military spending, from the construction of funds to daily maintenance and ceremonial guards. There is also an unofficial reason that many conservative-minded male 'sexual' senior generals scornfully call "the immortal 'hole' that devours military spending", that is, the new Roman Imperial Army recruited a large number of 'female' soldiers!

The ratio of male to female soldiers in the Imperial Army is unprecedented in the history of mankind, three to two! Far the 100-to-one of the rival Bundesmail is several light-years away. The 'female' soldiers of the Imperial Army, like the male soldiers, are all found in every corner of the army, and almost every mission that uses more than ten warships will have all the warships 'operated' by 'women' in them.

This tradition of the Imperial Army stems from the withering population at the beginning of the founding of the country. Later, with the increase in population, the Senate once tried to reduce the proportion of 'female' soldiers to less than 1 percent, but this was protested by many women' and 'women'' rights protection groups, arguing that it was contrary to the Constitution's clause on the equality of men and women, and appealed to the arbitration committee. In the end, after combining the votes of the National Assembly and the Political Coordination Committee, the arbitration committee made the so-called "people's arbitration", asking the Senate to remove the restrictions on the number of "female" soldiers.

The large number of 'female' soldiers has forced the military to bear a huge amount of welfare investment because of the physiological characteristics of 'female' and 'sexual'. Every 'female' soldier on active duty in the Empire, regardless of the size of the position and rank of the army, is like Dana? Kira? Pontick, like him, is entitled to a monthly health allowance of six gold marks for 'women' and 'sexual'. It is rumored that ten less Commander-class battleships were built each year because of this payment.

On the other hand, since the Bundeswehr also pays soldiers, 'female' soldiers do not have this benefit, and the number of 'female' soldiers is not very large, and even if there is a much smaller burden.

However, practice has proved that the 'female' 'sex' is far more suitable for the harsh environment of interstellar warfare than the male 'sex', and the bravery and wit in the war are not inferior to the male 'sex' soldiers. Many people have forgotten that in 2890, when Marshal Du Yimin led the Central Fleet in the "Himalayas" star field, there were two brave and resolute 'female' commanders of the detachment under his command. One is Wang Zeren's wife, Xu Mei, a retired general of the Senate and the wife of the Roman people's consul. The other is Barkia, who is known as the "angry wave" Emma? Emma? Admiral Stoudt (Bylgia, the name of the daughter of the god of the sea in Norse mythology), who is none other than Rota's grandmother! Killed in the Battle of Machu Picchu Star Field, he was a general at the time, and was posthumously recognized as a martyr when he was buried in the Imperial Valhalla.

The overall military strength of the other side was inferior to that of the other side due to various factors, so that the new Roman Imperial Army had no choice but to adopt a national defense strategy of "focusing on garrisoning and mobile defense". In peacetime, the powerful Central Fleet is divided into three units, stationed around the three most important planets of New Byzantium, Africa, and Iserlon, and the other star fields are patrolled by the Frontier Fleet. Once a war breaks out with the Federation, it will concentrate its forces and fight in a mobile manner after 'figuring' out the direction of its main merits, and strive to strike at the rear.

Due to the competition for the interstellar planet "Yi" in May and June, the Central Fleet, which was originally stationed in three places, is now also gathered on the planet Iserlon, so that the Federation Army in a superior position can formulate an offensive plan of "killing three birds with one stone". Once the plan is successful and the Central Fleet is destroyed, the Bundeswehr fleet can easily "liberate" every planet "oppressed by autocracy and dictatorship".

"It seems that there is a problem with our strength and strategy." Jiang Ziyue felt a little helpless, and his opponent was always in an overall advantage. Looking back on the battles I have experienced, most of them were fought at a disadvantage by my own forces, and I can't help but feel a little glad that I am still alive and well.

"Perhaps we are destined to fight an enemy superior all our lives." Gus spoke about Jiang Ziyue's psychology, but he was full of fun and fighting spirit. In his eyes, defeating an inferior enemy is often just a matter of common sense. However, in order to defeat a superior opponent, it always requires a lot of ingenuity, which is why war is interesting and fascinating.

"Baitou, now is not the time to lament the philosophy of life." "Whether our speculation is correct or not, we must stop this arrow in the face of the enemy." ”

"Actually, we were quite lucky," said Gus, lamentingly, "that the enemy chose the fastest straight route like us, and ended up encountering them early." If the enemy hadn't touched us, their more than 1,000 warships would have been able to capture the planet of New Rhine. ”

"But not only were they touched by us, but they were also wounded by us. Will it change the entire offensive plan? Lota asked.

"Don't think too far, Lotta." "In front of us is this Wehrmacht fleet of 1,000 ships. ”

"This fleet has one role." Jiang Ziyue said, "Lure the Central Fleet to leave the planet Iserlon. Although their destination is to the planet New Rhine, the capture of New Rhine should be a secondary goal. The capture of New Rhine was only to strengthen the Central Fleet's determination to leave the Iserlonian space. ”

Lota continued Jiang Ziyue's words: "Now, we have played the role of the Central Fleet, which is equivalent to preventing the enemy's attack on the New Rhine. ”

Jiang Ziyue glanced at her and shook her head slightly.

Gus followed, "We're just making the enemy feel intractable for the time being. But if we are wiped out, there will be no ready-made forces to defend New Rhine, and the Central Fleet will definitely be forced to leave Iseron to defend New Rhine. At that time, the enemy will be able to calmly capture Iserlon, depriving the Central Fleet and the Border Fleet of the most important logistics bases. The Senate and the people of Rome would have been honorably retired. ”

"In other words, our existence is only an assistant to the Central Fleet, doing some work for the Central Fleet." Jiang Ziyue added to Lotta, "Once we are finished, the Central Fleet will have to do everything ourselves, and then it will be easy to fall into the trap of the enemy." ”

"Then we will strike again and destroy the enemy in this desolate border space of the 135th parallel." Lota said resolutely, her fighting spirit was very high.

Jiang Ziyue was not interested in attacking the enemy fleet again, and asked Gus instead: "Gus, have you already sent a notification ship to Iserlon?" ”

"Just in case, as soon as I spotted the enemy, I sent out two notification ships. As soon as Marshal Bergdorf receives the report of the enemy's situation, he will definitely shelve the attack plan on the planet 'Yi' and turn to defending the country. Gus affirmed.

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ziyue pursed his lips and said, "I have an idea, but it's more risky. ”

Gus smiled at the staring at him, lifted the safety buckle pressed on his body, left the seat, floated to Jiang Ziyue, and said to Jiang Ziyue in a provocative tone: "Ziyue, if I guess correctly, you want to leave immediately." ”

Jiang Ziyue, who was hanging in the middle of the self-propelled pole, also looked at Gus, nodded knowingly, and said, "Gus, you can always see through my thoughts." ”

Gus looked very excited and said, "Your mind is also mine." ”

This strange conversation between the two men suddenly gave Lota 'chicken' bumps. Now it seems that Jiang Ziyue has been rejecting himself, I am afraid that it is not only because of Chen Weiyin alone, but also because there seems to be a hazy factor. Lota asked, stunned, "What are you two talking about?" ”

"Let's leave right away." Gus said as he controlled his posture and flew back to his seat.

"Leave? Where to go? Lota asked, puzzled.

"Andromeda, Egypt, Midgard...... Take your pick, as long as the light of the Commonwealth of Freedom and Democracy shines on the planet. Jiang Ziyue said with a smile.

Seeing that Jiang Ziyue finally said and smiled at herself, Lota was happy and moved, and asked sweetly, "Are we going on our honeymoon?" ”

"Let's go and be a thief." Gus corrected, "Then he was hunted down by the Federation Army, and from then on he died in the world, which can be written." The name is "Bald Male 'Female', Rogue Career"! ”

"It should be called "The White-headed Man and the Bald Man, and the Bald 'Woman' Those Things". Jiang Ziyue said.

"Hey, wait, aren't we going to stop the enemy fleet in front of us?" Lotta asked earnestly, "They're preparing to attack the planet New Rhine." ”

"If they don't block, they will let them attack if they have the courage." Gus looked nonchalant, leaned back in his seat, and said lightly, "We're pirates now, it's time to get down to business." ”

"Didn't you just say that without us, the Central Fleet would have been forced to leave Iserlohn and fall into the enemy's trap?" Lota asked eagerly, "How did you two big men do this mysteriously?" ”

"We're heart-to-heart, so we don't have to say anything." After Gus finished speaking, he deliberately showed a happy expression.

At this time, Jiang Ziyue said to Rota: "Rota, let's go, don't disturb the bald pirates." Let's go back to our respective ships. ”

"No, you have to tell me what your plans are." Lota exclaimed disgruntly.

"Commander Stoldt, if I am your rival, I promise to snatch your Jiang Ziyue within a day." Gus said confidently, and then sighed: "This man has been to 'bed' with you once, but you still don't know his heart so much?" As the saying goes, you can tie people, but you can't tie your heart; If you can tie your heart, you can't run away from anyone. ”

"Alright, Rota, let's go. All you have to do is follow the command of the Bald Pirates. Jiang Ziyue persuaded.

Under his persuasion and demand, Rota? Stodder followed Jiang Ziyue and left. But Gus was still behind and shouted, "Lotta, let's go to Andromeda planet, it is said that Dr. Chen Weiyin is also there." You two beauties can have a PK, or it's not bad to have a 'threesome' with Ziyue. ”

Gus's words disgusted Lotta, and she replied contemptuously, "Gus, that's when I found out that under your white hair is a filthy head. ”

"Only a soldier should be groomed, and pirates are dirty." Gus shouted at the bald man and woman who were riding away on the pole. Despite his loud voice, Lota no longer responds to him.

Gus put away his playful expression, sat upright in the command seat, and asked his subordinates solemnly: "Is there any new discovery of the reconnaissance ship?" ”

"Not yet, sir. The distance is relatively long, and it takes time for the reconnaissance ship and the notification ship to return. ”

"Maintain the combat readiness level and report to me as soon as there is a situation." After Gus gave the instructions, he asked, "Do you say I look like a pirate leader?" ”

"Sir, you don't look like a pirate even if you wear a blindfold and an iron hook on your hand. You look like a career officer no matter how you look at it. Someone immediately replied.

"Sir, we don't want to fight as pirates." Some of his subordinates immediately put forward their own opinions.

Gus smiled wryly and said, "I don't want to." But rest assured, the enemy won't think we're pirates. And I'll make our name when the time comes. ”

Then he solemnly declared: "We are the Senate and the Central Fleet under the Roman people, 'Harald the Ruthless?' Haraldi's detachment! A mighty fleet under the name of a Viking leader! ”

Unlike the Bundeswehr, which directly named the sub-fleets with serial numbers, the names given by the Senate to the sub-fleets of the Central Fleet were the names of commanders who had a great influence in the history of the earth, making these fleets sound thunderous.

For example, the "Cyrus" fleet was disbanded during the Battle of the "Yi" star field. The Imperial Army currently assembled on the planet Iserlohn has a group of sub-fleets called Bull Boom - Marshal Bergdorf's own fleet "Genghis Khan", "Charlemagne" fleet, "Attila" fleet, "Alexander" fleet, "Napoleon" fleet, as well as "Constantine" fleet stationed in Neo-Byzantium, and "Hannibal" fleet stationed in Africa. In the Reich's expansion plan, the Senate also announced the names of four new detachments that were still in electronic text, which sounded even more incredible", "Caesar", "Washington", "Hitler"!

Gus? The detachment commanded by Whitehead was given the name "Haralddy" by the Senate, after Harald the "Heartless", the last true leader of the Wiggins in the 11th century, King of Norway. Harald ("HardReign" Harald Hardrada, also known as Harald III, King of Norway).

The pirate king, who fought all his life but died in a surprise attack by King Harold II, is the last sign of the Vikings' insatiable and never-ending quest for the 'spirit'. As a result, it was enshrined by the Imperial Senate as one of the Heroic Spirits of the Earth Age, and its name was given to warships and fleets.

Gus's fleet consisted of the disbanded "Cyrus" fleet and ships 'drawn' from other sub-fleets and border fleets, disguised as pirates, which is very much in line with its name. It's just that so far, this fleet has not penetrated deep into enemy territory like Haraldi to carry out real raiding operations.

Of course, Gus and Jiang Ziyue realized almost simultaneously that their fleet would only be at its most powerful if they lived up to the pirate king's name.
