Chapter 177: Quiet, Listen to Me
"Wipe away your tears, cheer up, and honk your horn. β
Wesley, whose eyes were red, ordered, and then he took the lead in arranging his makeup to make himself look more dignified, though he was already haggard.
The twenty-five officers and soldiers in the command room, including Ye Wenqin, who was invited to the command room, also began to tidy up their clothes together, and the sad atmosphere just now was also replaced by the majesty of the soldiers, and for a while there was even a sense of solemnity in the command room, and what everyone was thinking about now was not how to enjoy this honor in the welcoming center of the receiving fleet, but how to avenge the dead heroic soul after completing the reorganization of the team.
In Ye Wenqin's eyes, these people have completed a complete transformation at this moment, and when they first met, they did deserve the title of a strong army, but now they are truly what it looks like to be an elite soldier.
"It is worthy of the Silver Eagle Republic, the military soul has been cast, and the military heart can be used. β
Feeling this murderous intent, Ye Wenqin sighed in his heart, such a military soul, he had encountered it in the troops he had been in, and he had encountered it in the elite troops of the Chuck Federation, but he didn't expect to see it in this army, which was actually considered one in ten. Ye Wenqin believes that not only can he see this, but the generals of the republic can also see this, Ye Wenqin, who was still a little worried about the fate of the Wesley fleet, put his mind at ease at this time, as long as he is not a fool, the high-level of the republic will keep this army, and believe that this army with revenge as flesh and blood will definitely be reborn in the days to come, if the generals of the knight charge know that their futile action has created such an enemy, I don't know what it will be like in his heart, at least a sentence of mother selling criticism is indispensableγ
"General Wesley, and everybody, mourn and cheer up. β
Ye Wenqin suddenly took two steps forward and said to Wesley, and then returned to his position in the surprised eyes of everyone, there is a way that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and they have not yet realized these earth-shaking changes in themselves. However, Ye Wenqin won't explain much, some things are still better for the parties themselves.
"It's a good fortune to be able to witness such a fortunate event, but I don't know how many such teams there are in the Federation, and if you want to say that the Federation has grown up in the war in the past few decades, there should be a lot of them. β
Ye Wenqin thought secretly, at this time, he was startled by the roaring cannon in the distance, it turned out that the distance from the receiving fleet had been shortened to less than five kilometers, and according to the tradition of the republic, the receiving fleet began to welcome with a twenty-one salute.
Although the rumbling cannon sound was not as deafening as the gunpowder weapon, there was also a tidal wave of momentum, which made the officers and soldiers who were a little restless because of Ye Wenqin's words quiet down again and looked ahead with a more determined gaze.
At this time, the big screen in the command room lit up, and a bald general wearing the rank of lieutenant general, with a majestic mask, gave people a stern taste, appeared on the screen.
"Joe, I'm Chi Patton, and on behalf of the Provisional 3rd Air Assault Fleet, I welcome back all the heroes of Wesley's fleet. β
After the man who called himself Patton finished speaking, he saluted everyone with a solemn face, and the cold-faced generals behind him also raised their arms and saluted Wesley and the others as the lieutenant general moved.
"Oh my God, it's General Patton, that Iron Courage. β
Someone recognized the person on the screen, this is a well-known but very mysterious air force general, said that he is famous throughout the country, because in a recent foreign military conflict, Patton, who was only a brigadier general at the time, temporarily went to the front line to inspect because of a piece of information, and this information was deliberately leaked by the enemy, when Patton had just led part of his troops to the location shown by the intelligence, the enemy who was several times their size surrounded him from all sides, and there were only two capital ships and four secondary warships, and the rest were patrol ships that could not be used, he keenly discovered that although the enemy's encirclement army was huge, due to the speed of some teams moving forward too quickly, resulting in the formation of sloppy, obviously the enemy no longer put him in his eyes, and wanted to take him down in one go, which led to such a result.
Patton immediately seized this opportunity, commanded not many battleships to give the enemy a beautiful left hook, from the weakness of an encirclement he found directly to the location of the enemy's command center, because the overly large encirclement dispersed the configuration of troops, so near the enemy's flagship there was only a lone frigate there to defend their boss, and this symbolic escort obviously did not expect today's enemy to be so violent, a shot was sunk by Patton's formation, although the remaining flagship is also a capital ship, but at this time it is alone in the face of the situation that temporarily formed a huge military strength in this battlefield, Whether it is the commander or the ordinary crew above, they have lost their due calm, and they don't know whose problem it is, this flagship actually hit in front of Patton's fleet, if he has a complete friendly force next to him, this is a perfect blocking array, but only its own, that is, it completely exposed its entire body to enemy fire.
The ecstatic Patton fleet carried the poor battleship on a huge flaming torch with a high hit rate after a salvo, and then it was blown to pieces in an earth-shattering explosion, and the last of its operations was completely buried to the point of unsolved mystery to this day.
Barton, who had opened up a sky from here, saw that he had destroyed the enemy's command structure so easily, he even forgot to escape, and the unscathed troops began to weave through the enemy formation like a ferocious and cunning shark, tearing the fleet apart because it had lost its brains.
In the end, it was not because of his own heavy losses that made Patton withdraw from the battle, in fact, in the entire course of the operation, his command only lost less than three patrol boat-level ships, and the rest of the surveillance was at most slightly injured.
"Be sure to bring more ammo next time. β
This was Patton's first sentence after he withdrew from the battle, and it became the main idea of every battle after Patton.
Behind what he said was the result of the loss of four capital ships and all secondary ships by a whole fleet of the enemy.
George Patton became famous in the first battle, and he was known for his bravery, and he was known as the Iron Brave General.
Although he became famous, Patton was still a stereotypical soldier in his heart, he refused the proposal of the Republic's propaganda department to let him make a tour of propaganda, and returned to the army in a low-key manner, and only one of his side and rear photos circulated outside, so except for the news that he had made new contributions from time to time, there were very few people in the outside world or even in the army who could recognize him. The only thing people know is the image of a bald head with a short to medium figure. Unexpectedly, he had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant general at this time, and so far Ye Wenqin, a lieutenant general of the republic, had also seen two, both of which left a deep impression on him.
Now it seems that the outside world's description of Patton is really very vivid, but in Ye Wenqin's eyes, the part that impressed him the most about this legendary general was his eyes, different from the eyes full of explosive power that were called Halsey, Patton's eyes did not look so flamboyant at first, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that this is a pair of eyes like eagle pupils, sharp and keen. It's so deep that it shines on a person's body as if it can see through it. When these eyes swept over Ye Wenqin just now, Ye Wenqin's heart was excited, as if he was being targeted by something dangerous.
"Master, even regardless of his command ability, his own cultivation is very good, and he should have touched the edge of the transcendent realm or the immortal realm. β
Due to the distance, Patton's figure has not yet appeared in Ye Wenqin's spiritual world, so he can only judge the cultivation of this iron general by his feelings, but he is also quite confident in his feelings. It's just that for Patton, there is not much information in the files of the Federal Department of National Security, so the actual situation does not match his judgment and it remains to be confirmed by the spiritual horizon for a while.
"What, we're all members? Isn't it just us here? What the hell is this voice talking about?"
Since Wesley had already connected the voice on the communication machine in the command room to the entire ship's public address system, Patton's words just now also reached the ears of all the Republican officers and soldiers on the ship, and those who did not know that the Mikel Detachment had been completely destroyed began to become agitated at this time.
Patton and Michelle's behavior was also at the behest of the military of the Republic, and there was also a heated discussion within the military about whether to announce this matter to these officers and soldiers, or under what circumstances and in what form, and finally Admiral Jordan made the decision, and asked Patton, a general on the same level as Halsey, to make the announcement at this time.
This grand welcome was partly due to the orders and traditions of the Air Command, and partly because of Patton's respect for the fallen soldiers, whose duty in this mission was to escort the Elk to its destination safely, and now that they are no more, the mission was successfully completed, and they deserved the twenty-one salute.
"Your Excellency, the soldiers from outside have gathered. They were asking about Colonel Mikel. β
A staff officer ran in from outside the door, and said to Wesley with some nervousness, he was actually an uninformed person, he was not on duty in the command room at that time, but was on standby in another cabin, and because of the shift, he did not know about the Mikel detachment.
As a result of his entry, the voices outside the cabin were also heard, and the officers and men outside were obviously anxious to know the situation of the Mikel detachment, and even began to clamor despite the presence of the provisional Third Air Force Assault Fleet, which was still firing salutes not far away.
Wesley knew that this was his time, and he walked out the door with a golden sword, and then said to the officers and soldiers who were accumulating, "Be quiet, listen to me." β
