Section 23 Wilhelm Dyer Overture
Eric, the former Minister of Defense, was forced to resign because of the fiasco in the Second Battle of the Yi Star Field? Feng? Bloomberg, a five-star general, has been at home for half a year. (Reprinted from this book 1(6)K Literature Network .(1)М) The old general did not expect that in the six months after his resignation, there would be a rare comprehensive peace between the Federation and the Empire. This made the strong man in his twilight years sigh.
But what made him feel even more that fate had 'tricked' people was that just when he thought that the rest of his life would be in an extremely boring leisure life, his former subordinate, the new Minister of Defense Leonardo? Higgins came to the 'door'.
The five-star general didn't like this guy who had always been arrogant. Thirty-five years ago, when Bloomberg was a small Interstellar Marine squadron leader, Higgins joined his company as a cadet. Higgins, who loved to talk about it, soon turned Bloomberg into disgust. But this guy who is so happy has a god-blessed official fortune. While Bloomberg was still working the front as a Marine Major, Higgins had already been promoted to lieutenant colonel and promoted to chief of staff of the detachment and captain of the battleship.
However, Higgins missed the heroic "Himalaya" Star Field Battle, and on the eve of the eternal "Machu Picchu" Star Field Conference, he and a group of officers who had no pragmatic "spirit" were transferred out of the fleet by General Su Yu on the grounds of returning to the Andromeda planetary organization for defense, thus missing out on the ranks of the heroes of national salvation. He has always believed that if it weren't for Su Yu's prejudice, he would definitely be promoted to a five-star general like Bloomberg today.
However, at this time, Higgins did not care too much about the general star on the epaulettes, because the facts in front of him were already very satisfied with him. In his capacity as secretary of defense, four-star General John Higgins announced a new appointment order to five-star General Bloomberg, who had no post. This awkward scene was not expected by the founders of the Union.
Mr. Bloomberg was unconcerned about the situation. The Federal Minister of Defence was originally to assist the President in commanding the Wehrmacht, and until 2890 was a civilian official. It was only before the Battle of the "Machu Picchu" Star Field that Su Yu was urgently appointed Minister of Defense until he was assassinated. Since then, successive presidents have chosen a general to hold the position. As a soldier, Bloomberg had no reason to be dissatisfied with his superiors because of the difference in rank, not to mention that the other party still came to the 'door' to announce the appointment order.
The contents of the mandate were so excited by Bloomberg that his old face under his pale hair was full of blood. He was appointed commander-in-chief of Operation Quetzalcoatl, commanding the Wehrmacht's Eighth and Ninth Fleets to attack the Yi field and capture the interstellar planet Yi from the Imperial Army. This means that he will be able to return to the line of fire where the light of death is woven and the blood and flesh are flying, and there is nothing more than this to 'excite' the adrenaline of a strong fighter.
The old general immediately left his worried wife and children at home and rushed to the planet Aequeth. As the commander-in-chief of combat operations, he has the right to designate staff officers and commanders of all levels of the fleet under his banner.
Without hesitation, he put Leonid, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Wehrmacht, who had also left his home with nothing to do because of his resignation. Mikhailovich? Admiral Lepnin, recalled to the fleet, appointed him his own chief of staff. At that time, the commanders of the Eighth and Ninth Fleets were Vice Admiral Zhou Jiande and Kofi? Lieutenant General Kenan was also a grassroots commander who participated in the "Machu Picchu" Star Battle under General Su Yu that year. It can be said that this is a group of "Su Family Army" people. If former President Richard? If Milhouse can also come to participate in the operation, then the thunderous "Orion Three-Star" under Su Yu twenty-eight years ago will be ready.
Because General Su Yu's most powerful three generals at that time had served together on the battleship "Orion". The trio made a splash in the "Machu Picchu" star field battle, thus earning the reputation of "Orion Three Stars". However, Milhouse, who lost his chances of being re-elected president, is not willing to be defeated, and is actively leading the interstellar united front in preparation for congressional elections, and he has long since retired from active duty, and his return to the army is even more unlikely.
The old glow of the "Orion Three" has faded, but now standing in front of General Bloomberg are three warriors chosen by the gods of luck. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are lucky.
Lieutenant Colonel Robb is simply an immortal bird. In addition to him, all the members of the battleship "Hercules" were killed, and after being seriously wounded, they were actually rescued by the "Yi" star monster and the human beauty 'girl', and he was able to get out of the enemy prisoner of war camp smoothly. It is no longer ordinary luck to have this kind of experience, and perhaps it can only be said by current online literary critics to have an immortal "protagonist halo".
Gunther? Lieutenant Colonel Oswald, sheer shit luck. He commanded the battleship "Clausewitz" on the way to the "Yi" field with the Fourth Fleet when it suffered a serious mechanical failure. As a result, he failed to arrive at the "Yi" star field on time, missed the battle time, and avoided the fate of destruction.
Edward? Colonel Mandalay, an absolute slippery of the net. After the first round of strikes on the planet "Yi", the "Hannibal" was seriously damaged, and Mandalay decisively ordered to abandon the ship and escape, and as a result, he became one of the few commanders who survived the billions of dead light on the interstellar planet "Yi".
All three were originally assigned to other fleets, and it was Admiral Bloomberg who asked them to join Admiral Zhou Jiande's Eighth Fleet. Mandalay was appointed to the battleship "Don? Captain of the USS John, who also commanded the Fourth Detachment of the Eighth Fleet. Robb was appointed captain of the battleship Chiyou, and was assigned to Mandalay along with Oswald and his battleship Clausewitz.
"The Fourth Fleet has long been wiped out, and all three of you are defeated." Mr. Bloomberg is a long man, but he does not shy away from defeat like other senior generals, but confronts reality. "You should be brave and brave in the next battle, so as to comfort the souls of your dead comrades in heaven."
"Yes, sir!" The three shouted in unison.
"In this battle, our mission is to recapture the interstellar planet 'Yi'. So, we must destroy the defending Imperial fleet as much as possible. However, the Imperial Army will definitely send additional troops to the 'Yi' Star Field, and our task will be very difficult. I do not expect any miracles, but I ask you to faithfully carry out my commands. Especially you, Robb, don't always give advice at critical moments. ”
"Yes, sir."
However, Robb then pleaded: "General, if I think it is necessary, I will still give you a 'handover' directly." ”
"I'd rather never have that kind of necessary condition. Alright, you can go. ”
"Goodbye, sir."
When the three of them left the Planet Aegis' operational command center, Mandalay proposed, "How about a drink at my apartment?" The 2833 vintage of Afrigerian wine seized from the "Bow" and "Wave" space station has not yet been opened. ”
"Save it for triumph." Oswald had little interest in alcohol before the war.
"I'm afraid I'm not going to get a chance to taste the wine at the triumph." Mandalay said worriedly, as if he had a premonition of his end.
"Then send it home, and tell your family to come out to pay tribute to your soul after you are killed." Oswald seriously suggested.
"I think Gunther was right." "Besides, I have more important things to do, I can't drink with both of you. ”
"More important?" Puzzled, Mandalay asked, "What about the 'woman'?" ”
"Sort of."
Robb took his leave.
Looking at Robb's distant back, Mandalay asked Oswald with a suspicious face: "Sort of, what does he mean?" ”
Oswald shrugged silently. He only cares about his own 'woman' and doesn't care about other people's.
Robb boarded an airplane and came to the neighboring town of Moon Lake.
The main residents of Yuehu Town are the families of Chinese military personnel. It sits on the shore of a crescent-shaped artificial lake, built exactly like the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River on Earth. In addition to the means of communication for the army and police, the town can only be used on foot or by human-powered sampans and horse-drawn carriages. If it weren't for the occasional space plane or two, it would have been easy for someone entering the town to mistake them for going back thousands of years to Jiangnan, China.
In a five-story imitation building built on the shore of the lake with a sign of "Guixiang Hotel", Luo Bo met Song Xiaoyu.
"I didn't expect you to come here to see me." Robb's tone was more of a surprise than a surprise.
When he returned to Andromeda in February, he found that during the days he was in prison, his mother Luo Zhaobing parted ways with Song Tingrong and Luo Shilin politically for him. Inevitably, his relationship with Song Xiaoyu was also 'affected'. On the 'Spring' Festival in early February, he and his mother stayed in Qingping Ju, closing the 'door' to thank guests. It wasn't until the end of April that the Federal Security Council concluded its loyalty investigation into him that he was able to meet with Song Xiaoyu at the Song family. But he didn't expect that Song Xiaoyu would take the initiative to come to the planet Aegis to find him this time, so he was surprised and happy when he received the call before.
The beautiful girl had a sad face. When she first got acquainted with Robb, she was just having a casual mentality. However, when she learned that Robb had become a prisoner of war in the Imperial Army, the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart continued to torment her. When she met Robb at the end of April, she couldn't tell how 'excited' her heart was. It's a pity that at that time, my father had already said that the kid was no longer useful. By the time Robb set out for Aegis, her heart was once again in a state of loss and worry. Finally, she decided to rush here desperately to see Robb again.
"Robb, do you have time now?" Song Xiaoyu asked softly.
"Yes. What's wrong? ”
"Let's go boating, shall we?" Song Xiaoyu, who was originally quite arrogant and domineering, became very well-behaved.
So, they rented a small sampan from the hotel and paddled into the depths of the Moon Lake.
Located on the edge of the desert, the Moon Lake is surrounded by green trees and beautiful scenery. But Song Xiaoyu had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery, and said with a heavy heart: "My dad has already said that I can't 'communicate' with you anymore." ”
"He doesn't have that power." Robb immediately said, "It's ridiculous that a man who became president under the system of democracy and freedom, singing about human rights and equality, should restrict the 'communication' of his 'daughter'." ”
"My dad said your family betrayed him." Song Xiaoyu said helplessly.
"There is no such thing as loyalty, where is the betrayal?" Robb asked rhetorically.
His question made Song Xiaoyu speechless.
A person like Song Tingrong who has a strong 'desire' has always regarded himself very highly, and the behavior of others against his will has become "disloyalty" and "betrayal" in his eyes.
"Well, you've been here for thousands of light-years, so you're not here to tell me this." Robb shifted the subject in a relaxed tone.
Song Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head like an ignorant little 'girl', and then whispered, "I can't let you go, so I came here." ”
Robb immediately put a happy smile on his face. He finally saw the sincere side of the seemingly noble girl in front of him.
"If your president's dad found out, he would be very angry. That's 'Long Yan Fury' wow. Robb reminded with a smile.
"I'm just here to see you, and I'm not doing anything harmful."
"Of course you're fine. But you're going to hurt me. Robb said deliberately.
"Hurt you?" Song Xiaoyu asked in surprise and surprise.
"He can't do anything to you. I'm going to think I'm a bastard and lure you here. He's my commander-in-chief, and it's a matter of effort to kill me. ”
"No, my dad wasn't that kind of person." Song Xiaoyu said anxiously.
"Just kidding. When he asked me to know you, it wasn't his own idea. However, now it is good that you are in love with me, but he regrets it. ”
"I'm not in love with you." Song Xiaoyu clarified loudly.
"And you're still running here to find me?"
"I just said I miss you, I didn't say I love you."
Robb pretended not to understand and said, "It's not the same thing? ”
"Of course it's not the same thing. Anyway, don't be stinky, I just don't want to affect our relationship because of adult affairs. ”
"Okay, I'm very excited for you to come and see me. When are you going to go back? I don't have much time for you. ”
"You're going to drive me away just when we met?"
"That's not what I meant. Because I really don't have time to spend with you, and I'm really, really busy at work, so I'm sure to make it clear to you. ”
"I know, you're going to war, aren't you?" Song Xiaoyu's tone became worried and disappointed.
"I can't answer you about this, as the president's 'daughter', you should know how to keep secrets."
"Then you go. I won't bother you. Song Xiaoyu looked very lost.
Robb smiled and said, "You drove me this time." ”
But after he finished speaking, he rowed hard and drove the little sampan towards the corner of the moon lake.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Enjoy the scenery. It's sunny today, you're dressed up so beautifully, and I'm wearing a navy uniform again, there's no reason not to take you on a boat with this lovely lover. Robb exclaimed happily.
On the wide moon lake, the breeze is light, the 'waves' are sparkling, and the birds are flying, which is a peaceful 'wave' scene. Luo Bo drove a small boat to carry Song Xiaoyu, who was holding a parasol, to enjoy the joy of meeting each other, and spent a day like a wild crane.
Luo Bo accompanied Song Xiaoyu to play in Moon Lake Town all day. It wasn't until the evening, after having dinner together, that he sent Song Xiaoyu to the guest room of the Guixiang Hotel, and then reluctantly said, "Okay, I have to go." If I don't go back, I'll be going to violate military discipline, and my 'Chiyou' and my brothers will be unhappy." ”
Song Xiaoyu nodded. But when Robb turned and walked towards the 'door', he stopped him.
Robb turned around again and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Before the words fell, Song Xiaoyu had already hugged him tightly.
Although Robb was surprised, he quickly and gently hugged her into his arms, and without hesitation, offered a passionate 'kiss'.
The two people are like sugar men who stick together because of the 'damp' in the 'spring' day, and they haven't been separated for a long time.
After a long time, Robb stopped the intoxicating 'excited' and 'kissed', and asked gently, "Is it enough?" ”
"Not enough, I still want it." Song Xiaoyu said sweetly, and then closed her eyes again, ready to continue to enjoy Robb's hot 'kiss'.
Robb does not skimp on his lips and tongue, and satisfies each other with all his heart. It wasn't until he felt that there was too much time that he had to push Song Xiaoyu away.
The plane's four electric hot jet engines 'shoot' powerful air currents, creating a graceful arc that sends Robb above the starry night sky.
Two thousand battleships, one thousand six hundred cruisers, and one thousand logistics supply ships, arranged in a tight formation, were stationed in multiple orbits on the planet Aegis.
When Robb hurried to the bridge of the "Chiyou", he found a figure he once hated sitting in front of the console of the first mate.
Scati? Major Tiassi, with a 'spring' breeze on his face, reported to the captain proudly and happily: "Report to the captain, Wehrmacht Major Scati? Tiassi was ordered to take over the post of First Mate of Major Yaohui. ”
Luo Bo was quite surprised, but still pretended to be casual and asked, "What's wrong with Major Xiao?" ”
"Major Xiao unfortunately contracted acute 'sexual' appendicitis and was rushed back to the planet's surface. General Zhou Jiande ordered him to be replaced by a humble post. ”
"It's fine, Major Tiasi." Robb nodded helplessly, but he sighed again and said, "The entire team of the 'Hercules' is left with you and me. I've always appreciated your ability to do your job. But now that we're working together again, the ugly stories are still ahead, and I hope nothing unpleasant will happen again. ”
"Understood, sir." Scati replied playfully.
"The commander-in-chief, the five-star Admiral Bloomberg, issued an operational order." The communications non-commissioned officer said as he 'projected' the image into the bridge space.
Five-star General of the Wehrmacht Eric? Feng? Bloomberg's weather-beaten but majestic image was immediately presented to all the officers and men of the Eighth and Ninth Fleets.
"Soldiers, the President has officially authorized me to issue the 'Quetzalcoatl' battle plan. We will travel to the distant 'Yi' star field to fight again for our beliefs and values. I ask you to join me in abandoning all earthly fetters, remembering our oath of enlistment, fighting valiantly to defeat the despotist enemy, retake the planet 'Yi', and avenge the death of our brethren. Now, I order, in accordance with the established deployment, the whole fleet to set sail! Wishing us a glorious return! ”
The order of the commander of the fleet came from the communication channel: "Detachments spread out in formation!" ”。
Then came the order of the detachment commander: "Spread out the formation, speed up, and prepare to sail into Akuberi." ”
4,600 ships of all kinds spewed out thousands of brilliant flames and rushed to the battlefield of deep space.
