One hundred and thirty-five, accident! One after the other
"How? Now don't worry, you're really worrying. Risen shook his test report card in front of Schneier for a moment, and then he noticed that his friend's face seemed to be a little unpleasant.
"Yes, I got a good plus, but it's worse than me, I'm excellent minus, and besides, you can get such a gold in the exam, I think the most important thing is my credit, if I hadn't found Sonia, you might even have a passing grade." His friend put down the work he was packing, glanced at it, and said.
"Yes, yes, I know you are the greatest, without you, I am simply struggling, satisfied?"
"That's pretty much it, if there is any good thing or any wonderful task after I go back, take care of my little brother and me more, then it will be regarded as repaying me."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you." Risen smiled, this kind of positive and enterprising attitude of striving to be the first in everything is highlighting the high morale and optimistic spirit of the alliance combatants, which is necessary for the disadvantaged alliance to fight against the strong against the powerful Galactic Empire, the strength of the spirit is definitely more important than the role of weapons and equipment, after all, no matter how good the weapon, it also needs people to operate.
"By the way, when you went to get your transcript just now, Lieutenant Colonel Aydok and Morse. Manager Liu sent us a communication, they probably knew in advance that we had successfully passed the customs, so they informed us to pack our luggage and belongings immediately, and prepare before 11 o'clock, when someone will pick us up and leave. Schneier put away the joke and officially informed him.
"What? So fast? Risen was stunned for a moment, "Are they in such a hurry to get us away?" ”
"That's right, supposedly to catch a ship returning to the Alliance. So a little anxious, if you can't catch up with that ship. It would have to wait two weeks, Lieutenant Colonel Aydok said. His friend explained with a grimace.
"I'm ......" Risen was stunned, before eleven o'clock? They still have to pack their bags, so don't they even have time to say goodbye? For the past three months, they have been with the girls of the Blue Angels - Sonia, Annie, Lan Lan, Xue Qianyi, Zhang Xiaojing, and Iasilia...... They had all established a good friendship and had a good time with each other, but now they suddenly left in a hurry without even saying goodbye, just as they had done when they came. Risen had thought that there would be at least a few days of buffering before arranging for them to leave.
"I'm going to get in touch with them, at least." He said depressedly, this news made his good mood disappear all of a sudden, although this day would come sooner or later, but it was still beyond his expectations to go in such a hurry.
"It's useless. I've contacted them, but they're all gone, and now it's Zhang Xiaojing in charge. ”
"Not there? Zhang Xiaojing is the head? What do you mean? Risen didn't understand what his friend meant. People are not there? It's strange that I haven't heard of any drills they're going to participate in lately.
His friends didn't bother to explain. He continued to pack his luggage and muffled, "You'll know when you call." You have a good relationship with Zhang Xiaojing. If you're leaving, say goodbye to her, and you can let her tell her if the others aren't there. ”
Resson glanced suspiciously at his vague friend, he turned on the communicator and connected to the station of the Blue Angels at Illian Base, and the officer on duty quickly turned his comms around, and a girl's avatar appeared on the screen.
"Xiaojing, is Sonia there? Could you please help me find her? He asked tentatively.
"Looking for her...... What are you looking for her? She is very busy with work and has a lot of things to do, so don't talk about it at this time if it's a private matter. The girl winked pretendedly, and teased for a moment.
"This is business...... I have business to talk to your captain. “
"Look at your example, you are still on business, you will still have business?" Zhang Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh, "Do you have any business to talk to me about?" ”
"Talking to you? I'll talk to your captain. ”
"yes, I am." Then she deliberately pretended to be enlightened, "Ah, I almost forgot to tell you, I'm the acting captain of the Blue Angels now." ”
"Acting Captain? And what about Sonia? Risson's eyes straightened, what was going on, such a big matter, why hadn't Sonia mentioned it?
"Our former captain has another mission, and General Milton has given her a mission, hey, don't ask me what mission it is, and don't ask me where she went, in short, military secrets."
"So, Anne isn't here either?" Risen remembered his friend's gloomy face.
"No, no, Annie, Xue Qianyi, Lan Lan, Iasilia, Juni, Alice, Lisa, all went with them......," she muttered and whispered, "It's almost more than a third of the way, the Blue Angels are almost empty, I knew that I would go with them, I really shouldn't have promised the captain to stay, I didn't have to do such a fun thing without my share, I really didn't want to be reconciled." ”
"What?" Resson couldn't hear what she was talking about, the voice was so small that only she could hear it.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing," she quickly disguised herself, and then said, "I say, if I'm not mistaken, you're here to say goodbye." ”
"yes, but how could it be so coincidental, they are not here." Risen said depressedly, he was not surprised that Zhang Xiaojing knew that he was here to say goodbye, hadn't Schneier already contacted him before?
"That can't be helped, it's an order from above, and they are all voluntary. Hmph, why can't I even volunteer if I want to? ”
"Voluntary?" Risen became alert and asked the team members to volunteer to participate in the operation, which is generally not a good thing, indicating that the mission is dangerous and even has the possibility of dying, so he asked to volunteer.
"They're going to be fine, right?" He felt a little nervous, this task was still assigned by General Hamilton, which shows its importance, what kind of task is it? Now there is a temporary truce between the Federation and the Empire. The suspension of large-scale combat operations does not mean the cessation of small-scale reconnaissance and counter-detection, infiltration and anti-infiltration operations. On the contrary, there is even a growing momentum.
"It'll be fine for the time being, as for the future......" She smiled slyly and said no more.
"Okay......" Resson couldn't see what she meant, so he had to turn the subject back, "You know that, too." We're leaving, help me talk to you and I'm so happy to have known you all and spent this time with you all after so long. This time here will always be an unforgettable experience in my life. He said sincerely.
"I'll tell you," she nodded, her mind spinning: it wasn't really necessary.
"Take care, I hope to have the opportunity to meet you all again in the future."
"Take care and good luck." She thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say again, "Take care of yourself, and take care of everyone." ”
Before Risen could react to what the last sentence meant, she cut off the communication. But Risen didn't think much of it, he just took it as an ordinary parting greeting.
"Where the hell have they run away at this time?" Risen turned off the communicator and said to himself.
"How do I know, Zhang Xiaojing's tone is very tight, how can I ask, she just doesn't say it, she just says that she will naturally know when the time comes, and when she is in a hurry, she will prevaricate with military secrets, and she is really convinced." His friend threw a sentence.
"Forget it," Risen said, "Let's hurry up and pack our bags and get ready to go, and the contact will be here in a moment." ”
This time he came to the Federation, he really felt a lot of feelings, he was still thinking about whether he could meet the girls before he came, but he didn't expect to meet them as soon as he arrived in the Federation, it stands to reason that he was lucky, but why did he encounter Fei Lun's disappearance again? And when he was leaving, he was in such a hurry, and he happened to run into Sonia and was not there, so he couldn't even say goodbye. Looking at this training cycle, I really don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky.
————————————————————————————————————
On a federal land destroyer, Risen met with two liaison coordinators, Morse Brown. Manager Liu and Lieutenant Colonel Aydoc.
"Where are we going? Is it to the Liberty space station? Or is the Speedy waiting for us there? Risen asked, remembering that his first stop in the Federation was the Liberty space station, and he wondered if they had also taken the Speedy when they returned to the Alliance.
"Your ultimate goal is to go to the Liberty space station, but this destroyer is not, it will rendezvous with a fast space carrier in the New Moscow system, and then this mothership will directly return to the alliance with you and join the alliance combat sequence." Lieutenant Colonel Aydok said.
"Fast space carriers?" Risen was taken aback, there is no fast space carrier in the battle sequence of the Federation ships, they only have the space carrier, this type of ship is specially designed to meet the special operational requirements of the Alliance, and the Assault is it.
"This fast space carrier was ordered by your allies from shipyards in the Federation through Meteor Corporation, and our security intelligence personnel have taken the strictest security and secrecy measures to disguise its existence, and in order to hide people's eyes, it is not built to resemble a mothership, but it only needs minimal modifications to restore it to its original appearance." Lieutenant Colonel Aydok explained.
"Doesn't it mean that we have very few ships that can pass through the death route, so the popular company uses the funds provided by the Federation to order a number of special ships from the shipyards of the Federation to sail this route? How did it become a fast space carrier? Risen was stunned, he, the recipient of the Order of the Star Wings, had this permission and had read the relevant information. He remembered very well, and he said before that the alliance only had one ship that could sail on this route, although the new ships ordered from the Federation were constantly put into this route, but there would definitely not be many, how could there be time to order space carriers.
"Major, we don't have enough shipbuilding capacity." Morse. Liu patted Ruisson on the shoulder with emotion, "We continue to fight against the powerful ships of the Empire, our workers and technicians are inexperienced, you should know how long it took for the first fast space carrier to be completed, in the Federation, this construction time can be shortened a lot, so, we need to order an additional spaceship, this space carrier, not with the funds provided by the Federation, is completely completed with the funds of our alliance, at present, she has completed the seaworthiness test and refit, after returning to the alliance, she will become another powerful fleet core." "Morse. Manager Liu said proudly.
"New ships? Just about to pass through the death route? Will the profiteers' equipment stand the test? Are the crew familiar with the ship? This route is very dangerous, what if you panic and misuse because you are unfamiliar or undertrained? Risen asked worriedly, this is not a special ship like the Fast, this is a large space carrier, not only the number of crew is far larger than the Fast, but also the complexity is much more than the Fast, there are many people, too complicated, it is very honorable.
"Don't worry, in the seaworthiness test, we specially simulated some of the more extreme situations on the death route to test, most of the equipment on the ship worked well, and there were some minor problems, which were solved in time, and the mother ship was modified accordingly. As for the crew, in addition to the captain sent by our alliance, nearly half of the crew is also composed of crew members with certain experience in the alliance, and the other half of the crew is recruited from within the Federation, but basically they also have a certain amount of experience, and there are very few complete novices, after several months of running-in and training, the crew sincerely cooperated and completed the ...... of receiving the ship in advance."
While he was still talking, he suddenly felt a tightness in his arm, and his hand was grabbed, and he felt a lot of pain.
"Major, major......" Morse. Manager Liu's brows furrowed, and then, he saw Ruisen's excited face, and his hand that was holding him was also trembling.
"You, you're saying that there are crew members recruited from the Federation on this mothership? They've been running in and training for months? ”
What a damn thing, Risen kept cursing his stupidity, why did he only keep his eyes on the people who had already gone to the Alliance, those who hadn't left yet? Lieutenant Colonel Aydok had said that security and secrecy measures were very strict to conceal the ship's existence, and it was not surprising that, as Lieutenant Colonel had said, the FBI personnel could not find out there.
