After saying that, Barton began to laugh heartily, this is good news for the army of the Silver Eagle Republic, although the price is a bit heavy, but he believes that the Wesleyan army will definitely shine on the battlefield in the future. Although it is a pity that this unit will not be a combat unit under his command, but thinking that his main battlefield in the future will be the Cleveland people, then the future will be indispensable to cooperate with Wesley.

According to the Air Command's previous plan, Wesley and the officers and men of the Elk were directly assigned to Patton's provisional Third Air Assault Fleet, which would participate in future operations with Cleveland, and they believed that this unit would definitely play a good role in these battles. However, as Barton said before, the Wesleyan remnants with the military soul have the ability to change the rules, and what awaits them next must be a real reorganization and a predictable rebirth.

The shouting on the Elk lasted for more than ten minutes, and at this time the Elk had already entered the array of the Provisional Third Air Assault Fleet, and the previous twenty-one salutes had already ended, but looking at the officers and men of the Elk who were still roaring, Patton did not ask for immediate contact, but arranged for the formation to be quietly suspended around the Elk, so that the officers and men of the Provisional Third Air Assault Fleet also began to feel the continuous emergence of the Elk's strands of battle, and even later because of this battle and the influence of the crimson vengeful dragon, Patton's original military spirit began to slowly appear from the sky above the assault fleet as if it was stimulated, from virtual to real, the wind was whistling high, and the two dragons, one blue and one red, roared here, and it was also lost in a place where there was no one in the sky, otherwise I don't know what kind of sensation it would cause.

The blue dragon continued to fly up and down around the red dragon as if welcoming a new companion, and the officers and soldiers who belonged to Abate's subordinates looked enviously at the blue light on the bodies of the compatriots next to them, as the blue dragon continued to fly, countless blue lights began to shoot out from the dragon's body, burrowing into the bodies of these new partners, and as more and more people had blue light in their bodies, the blue dragon visibly became a little larger with the naked eye.

"It's worth it, it's worth it. ”

Seeing this scene, Barton, who was originally calm and composed, was also surprised, he couldn't imagine that the fusion of the two armies, which made him a little distressed, was quickly completed under the stimulation of the Wesleyan fleet's military spirit.

About an hour later, the two constantly flying military spirits seemed to be tired, and gradually disappeared into the sky, and the officers and soldiers under the command of the Elk and Abate sat on the ground as if they collapsed at the moment when the dragon disappeared, but fortunately, all the airships were already hovering at this time, and even if no one controlled it, it could ensure temporary safety.

Abate was also a little out of breath at this time, but as a bone forging realm, he recovered much faster than other officers and soldiers, so it took less than half a minute to return to normal, but at this time, he was obviously a little more fierce than just now, but he couldn't feel it now.

After about five minutes, all the officers and soldiers stood up again. Patton knew that the whole process of the birth of the military soul was over, and with a little spiritual power, he crushed the small piece of cigar left in his hand into powder, put on the general's cloak placed on the commander's chair, and wanted to walk to the deck.

"Let's go, go and welcome our fighters home. ”

Patton did not use the word hero to refer to the remnants of Wesley's fleet, although the Air Force Command called them so, but in his heart, only the more than 3,000 heroic souls could be called heroes, and the remnants in front of him could only become worthy heroes if they proved themselves on the battlefield.

Abate and the other off-duty officers immediately followed Patton towards the deck in front of the airship.

At this time, the distance between the Sharp Tooth and the Elk has been shortened to less than fifty meters, and the two suspension passages are stretching out from the front of the two flagships, and then these two passages are successfully docked in the air, and an air passage connecting the two airships is thus formed, which is also the characteristic of the airships of the Silver Eagle Republic, and even the Dusk modification of the purchased Federation is required to add corresponding devices.

On the Elk, Wesley, who had already been ready, led Chief of Staff Coca and several major fleet staff officers through the passage to Patton and the others who were already standing at the other end of the passage, although the appearance of the military spirit just now made him feel much more uplifted, but at this time he was still a little nervous in the face of Vice Admiral Patton, a well-known general.

Just as he stepped onto the Sharp Tooth, Abate, who was standing behind Barton, made a gesture to him that everything was okay, which eased Wesley's nervousness, as a classmate of the same class, he and Arbuck had always maintained a relatively close relationship, knowing that this classmate would not lie to himself. He strode toward Patton, and stood more than two meters away from him, raising his hands in salute with the officers who had come with him.

"General Patton, Wesley, the general of the defeated army, and all the officers have come to report for duty, and thank the general for leading the team to come to the rescue. ”

There were a total of thirty-one officers who came with Wesley, counting those who were still on duty on the boat, there were still forty-two officers above the second lieutenant, and twenty of them were officers of the ship on the Elk, and only twenty-two people really belonged to the fleet headquarters.

"On behalf of the Air Force Command of the Republic, I would like to pay tribute to your troops for their outstanding performance and great sacrifice in this operation, and I am proud of your every move and the great honor of being given this opportunity to welcome you. ”

Barton took two steps forward after returning the salute, patted Wesley on the shoulder, then looked at Wesley and the people behind him, and said emotionally, his words were full of sincerity, so that everyone who heard them was deeply moved.

"General Xie!"

Wesley once again led the officers to salute, dozens of meters away has completed the preparation of the slope, although the distance is not close, but they still salute at the same time under the leadership of the leading non-commissioned officer, the whole movement is uniform, showing that the officers and soldiers on the entire Elk have been completely integrated into the momentum.

Soon after, the brief welcome was over, and Patton invited Wesley to visit the Sharptooth, and the Elk, under the command of Coca, who had returned to the boat, entered the position reserved for it by Patton's fleet, and the whole formation completed a magnificent turn in the air before heading inland to the Republic.

Wesley first hugged and greeted Abate, who was already a little impatient, and followed in front of Patton, and Abate and the others also followed far behind when they saw this, so that the two generals had some room to talk privately.

"It's been a tough few days. ”

Barton asked with emotion as he looked at the bloodshot in Wesley's eyes.

This question almost brought Wesley to tears again, his eyes reddened, but he nodded a little chokedly, and didn't say anything.

"I know that you gave the order for Colonel Mikel to lead the team in, and to be honest, if I were you, I would have given the same order, and the loss of this battle is not a crime of war, so don't blame yourself too much. ”

Barton was comforted, don't look at his nickname as General Iron Courage, but behind every bold action he made was the result of precise calculations, so Barton just used this kind of bravery to cover up his inner cleverness.

"General, I'm just panicking, after all, more than 3,000 brothers are gone. ”

At this time, tears finally flowed from Wesley's eyes, this was the first time he cried in front of others, even when he was in the cabin, he tried his best to control his emotions, and was afraid that his weakness would affect the other officers and soldiers on the boat, so he had maintained a tough guy style for the past few days, and at this time someone could finally resist for him, so the tears flowed out like a flood that opened the floodgates.

At this time, the two had already arrived in a small rest cabin, and there was no one else in the cabin, so Barton watched Wesley cry quietly and sighed in his heart.

After two or three minutes of bitterness, Wesley wiped away his tears and said to Barton with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, General, for making you laugh. ”

"Hey, we are soldiers, but we are also people, it is right to cry, you don't know that once I lost two warships in a battle, more than 600 brothers, and cried worse than you. ”

Barton smiled, handed over a tissue, and continued.

"Admiral Jordan's original intention was to incorporate you into my unit, and my provisional Third Air Assault Formation is a reinforced strike formation formed by the combination of my old unit and some of the troops under the command of your classmate Abate, and will be specifically responsible for fighting the Clevelands in the future. ”

"General, please let us join. ”

As soon as he heard that this army was for fighting the enemy, Wesley immediately asked for war excitedly, although he knew that he and his subordinates already had their own military spirit, but he didn't know much about the military spirit, and he didn't know much about the meaning of their military soul.

"No, no, it seems that you still don't know your own potential enough. Your vengeful spirit has made you a unique one, so I want to congratulate you, General Wesley, I have reported your military spirit to the Air Force Command, I believe that as long as General Jordan is not old and confused, then the next will be to build a fleet centered on you, you will continue to have your own number, flag, and formation, maybe you will also usher in your own code name. ”

Barton said with emotion. In fact, in the eyes of the outside world, the name of the heavy hammer can represent this fleet, and the Fifth Air Strike Division of the Principality of Cleveland represented by the Knight Charge is the same reason.

Patton's words made Wesley feel very emotional, he couldn't imagine that he could still have this kind of opportunity, when his flagship Elk was converted into a transport airship, he thought that this was the end of his life, but thinking about how this opportunity came about, his mood was low again.

"Since this opportunity has fallen on the head, seize it, take the troops well, and it will be up to you when you fight the knight charge in the future. ”

Barton patted Wesley's shoulder again. Wesley, sensing Barton's ardent anticipation, nodded heavily.
