Section 31 Silent Song

When Robb received a five-star admiral on board the Alexander, the fleet's general flagship, he thought that Bloomberg was just trying to talk to him. Easy to read on the phone: αр.(1)(6)Tidying upBut when he meets the other party, he finds that he has to accept a task that looks rather embarrassing, but is actually very important.

Bloomberg put Henning? After General Geisler's report was briefly told to Robb, a grim look appeared on his face, and he said, "I have to tell you very regretfully that for the time being, we cannot treat them as our siblings. Nearly 100,000 people in total, they have spent so much time in our completely unknown alien world. How did they get there? What were you doing there? How did they all come back safe and sound? And so on, and no one can prove anything for them except their own reports that are simply science fiction. ”

In the face of the suspicion and distrust of the returned personnel of the Thirteenth Fleet revealed in the words of the five-star admiral, Robb said: "Sir, I personally think that we have no reason to suspect our brothers. At least, there seems to be no justification for this for now. ”

"You're right." Bloomberg nodded, but he continued, "But there's no reason why we should take their word for it so easily. Remember the last battle? Your 'Hercules' was destroyed by the Thirteenth Fleet and fell atop the interstellar planet 'Yi'. According to Geisler's report, at that time, their people were staying in the underground world and living a camping life, and all the warships were controlled by the power of the planet and flew to nowhere. ”

"The gravity of the 'easy' planet is as high as 1.8 gravity constants. How could our battleships fly on it? Or is it underground? Robb said in amazement.

That's one of the many hard things to believe about their report. In short, no matter what, this time you will command the fifteen hundred cruisers to escort them back, and you must be on high alert and must not make any mistakes. Bloomberg spoke earnestly and solemnly.

"Sir, do you suspect that they have defected?" Robb asked bluntly.

Bloomberg stared at him, not answering immediately. After a while, he nodded in response to his question. But then he reluctantly said, "This idea is actually quite funny. Could it be that they took refuge on the planet 'Yi' and then returned to take over our fleet? But what is it about this interstellar planet that attracts them? My biggest fear is that they are controlled by the 'easy' planet. Thinking that this planet has a protective layer that none of our current weapons and equipment can penetrate, and that it has the powerful firepower that can easily destroy our fleet, it is impossible not to worry that our brethren in the Thirteenth Fleet are being 'manipulated'. ”

At this time, Robb boldly asked: "Sir, according to General Geessler's report, this planet actually used the image of Liu Chang' 'Chun' to communicate with them, could it be that this interstellar planet is the rumored 'Antnest'?" ”

"I can't answer you about that." "It's better to leave this issue to the Federal Security Council, because we're soldiers, and we just have to fight," Bloomberg said. ”

"I understand, sir." Robb quickly replied.

"Any questions?"

"Yes. What should I do if something happens on the road? ”

"Unexpected? You mean Geisler will rebel and 'revolt'? ”

"Yes, sir. I ask you to authorize me to do whatever it takes. If they do rebel on the way home, as you feared, I will be able to deal with them. ”

Bloomberg hesitated, then agreed, "Okay, I'll issue an order that allows you to use whatever means you deem necessary to deal with the mutiny of the returning officers and men of the Thirteenth Fleet." ”

"Sir, I understand. I'll get them safe. Robb was confident.

Soon, Robb commanded 1,500 cruisers on the battleship "Chiyou" and escorted 300 logistics supply ships carrying 100,000 officers and men from the 13th Fleet. He was accompanied by the new Roman Empire research vessel Vector III, which fell into the hands of the Bundeswehr, and a scientific expedition led by Chen Weiyin.

Henning? Admiral Geisler did not expect that Bloomberg would arrange for a cruiser as many as five times the number of his own ships to escort him. At first glance, it seemed that he took their safety very seriously, but he could feel the implications. In particular, the two fleets were 'mixed' in formation, with every five cruisers followed by a logistical supply ship, which made him even more sure that his comrades were suspicious of him. When he learned that the commander of the convoy was a former subordinate, he immediately asked for a meeting.

Robb warmly accepted the request of his old boss and personally rushed to his supply ship.

After the meeting, Geisler asked, "Did the five-star general tell you about my report?" ”

"Yes, he said it all. However, he told me that the content was kept very secret. ”

Geisler nodded, and then recounted the series of adventures of the Thirteenth Fleet during his disappearance to Robb. In the end, he said: "The five-star general really bothered to send such a large formation to escort our return home. ”

Although the general was smiling, his tone sounded rather dissatisfied. Robb could naturally hear what he really meant. So, he responded, "Sir, I am also a member of the Thirteenth Fleet, and I can understand the feelings of you and your brothers. ”

"I know, it's also an insurance measure. I would do the same. ”

Geisler pretended to be relaxed, but in fact his heart was quite heavy. At this time last year, they managed to defeat the fleet of the new Roman Empire "Cyrus" and capture the interstellar planet. But now, they are victorious, but they are full of suspicion because they have been captured by the unknown forces of the interstellar planet.

"Sir, I hope you understand. But I'm sure you'll soon have your trust. ”

Robb didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to convince Geisler. He also understood that when he returned to the country, he would be transferred to the Federal Security Council for extensive interrogation and full investigation.

If you are a prisoner of the new Roman Imperial Army, it will be easier to do. But now that I have lost my fleet and spent almost a year on an unknown planet, it is not only strange, but also suspicious. And they have an inextricable charge on them, which is betrayal. The surviving ships of the second Battle of Yi confirmed that the 13th Fleet not only destroyed the battleship Hercules, but also took the initiative to attack and lure the Fourth and Seventh Fleets into the "firing" range of the Planet Yi, resulting in huge losses for the Bundeswehr.

Although Geisler and his men claimed that it had nothing to do with them. However, their arguments are unconvincing, because all the images they have recorded in the underground world of the "easy" planet are gone, and even some of the items of the "easy" planet have not been brought out. This makes it easier to mistakenly believe that the experience in the underground world of the "easy" planet is a lie concocted by 100,000 soldiers. Human beings have always been skeptical of 'spirit' spirits and creatures who are good at designing 'yin' schemes, and even for their fellow citizens, they have great suspicions, and in such a peculiar situation, it is easier to produce 'yin' conspiracy things.

Either way, Robb was well aware that the reputation surrounding Geisler and his people would not be 'improving' anytime soon, and that people would look at them with suspicion and unease.

So he doesn't intend to get too close to the other side, at least until the National Security Council comes to a conclusion, and he has to choose a position as far as possible in this matter.

Geisler also seemed to see Robb's psychology, and he said, "Robb, I know you have a bright future. We're in prison right now, and we don't intend to get anything out of you. I just wanted to find someone I trusted to talk to. ”

"Thank you, sir, for your trust." Robb pretended to be 'excited', "If you are fine, I hope to leave as soon as possible, and we can all return to the Federation sooner." ”

Gesler nodded in agreement.

Robb saluted him respectfully, then left, returning to his battleship. Now he is very glad that he commanded the cruiser "Zhiyuan" to transport the scientists of the New Roman Empire back to China first. Otherwise, the brothers who followed the Thirteenth Fleet together became captives of the interstellar planet "Yi", and now they will also have to endure the stares of ininformation and suspicion, and the resulting distress.

Back to the battleship "Chiyou", first mate Scati? Major Tiassi reported: "Sir, there is a 'female' scientist from New Rome who wants to see you. ”

She was smiling, which made Robb feel very strange. This 'woman', who has always had a cold expression, actually 'revealed' a smile at this time. Robb asked, "Why, you seem to be 'quite happy' about this kind of thing?" ”

"Nothing, sir. I just think you're 'quite 'female' popular. Scati said lightly.

"Hehe, I've always been very popular as a 'woman'. How can a man as good and handsome as me not have a 'female' popularity? Robb triumphantly complimented himself, his face full of pride and complacency.

Scati could only smile back.

Chen Weiyin and the scientists of the New Roman Empire were assigned to the "Chiyou" by Robb, and their research ship was completely 'operated' by the officers and men of the Bundeswehr. This was also done for security reasons, as keeping them in a well-guarded, heavily guarded battlefleet would be effective against external and internal threats.

As soon as he saw Chen Weiyin, Robb eagerly asked, "Is there anything you want me to do, Dr. Chen?" The fleet will soon depart. ”

A wry smile immediately appeared on Chen Weiyin's face, and he said, "I have thought about it carefully, and I don't want to live a life of surveillance in your so-called free and democratic country like last time. I'd like to ask you for a favor for me. ”

"What an honor." Robb laughed happily.
