One hundred and thirty-six, the fast space carrier Liberator
The destroyer carrying Risen and Schneier in the new Moscow system and the fast space carrier that Lieutenant Commander Adoc said had successfully converged.
Risen took a closer look at the destroyer through the porthole, and he now knew the name of the new fast space carrier: the Liberator, which was essentially the same class as the Alliance's first fast space carrier, the Raider, with a few minor changes. But sure enough, as Lieutenant Colonel Aydok said, it looks like a big difference from the outside, she is actually not like a space carrier, the hangars and take-off ejection channels arranged on the left and right sides are well shielded, and all kinds of advanced sensors and self-defense systems on the ship are also missing, Guangping's appearance, and I don't know the internal structure of this ship, not many people will associate the Liberator and the space carrier with an equal sign.
In Resson's opinion, the Liberator and the Assault are more of a large cargo ship than the same ship, and only in the tail of this mothership, which is significantly larger than the forward hull, still retains some of the characteristics of the Raider, which is probably the most important feature of the fast space carrier.
Could she be on this Liberator? Risen was nervous, and at the moment he was both looking forward and afraid, looking forward to the excitement and joy when he met, and he was afraid of his own guess and empty joy. He watched the two ships gradually dock together in space, but he didn't move, and it stands to reason that he should hurry to the gangway now, but he really couldn't take a step, and he was a little scared, and he didn't know what was waiting for him on the Liberator. Is it the former or the latter?
"Let's go, Risson, let's go. She knew if she didn't ask on the Liberator. Schneier gave him a push behind him.
"What if he's not up there, you say?" Ressen slowly moved forward as he apprehensively expressed his worries to his friend.
"Yes, it will, aren't you pretty sure? Moreover, Manager Liu also assured that after the current alliance, there are no more recruited volunteers left in the Federation, and the Liberator is different from ships such as the Express, which has enough space and cabins to accommodate all volunteers to go to the alliance together. ”
"I know...... But that's just my hunch. Risen whispered back. His friend's words did not relieve his worries. No matter how sure he is, no matter how good his hunch is, it is still speculation, and who knows what the situation will be before it is confirmed? If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if.
"It's nice to have a hunch. Dude, in fact, the truth is not subject to your will. She had already decided that she was not on the Liberator, what was the use of what she wanted? All you have to do now is go and check and see if she's there, you're happy, if she's not, isn't it the same as before? His friend said calmly.
"That's right." Risson nodded, he had now walked to the gangway, Lieutenant Colonel Aydok and Morse. Manager Liu was standing there waiting for them, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the alliance could be faintly seen standing there, crossing the gangway, and the answer was in front of him.
He tried his best to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, tightened the luggage in his hand, and followed the lieutenant colonel and the manager into the gangway......
"Attention!"
At the sound of the order, the officers and soldiers stood solemnly together with an old colonel with a gray head, who looked at the emblem and insignia on his uniform, and he was none other than the captain of the Liberator fast space carrier, Risen and Schneier, and immediately raised their hands in salute.
"Captain Aristide is glad to meet you." Morse. Liu warmly stepped forward and shook hands with the old colonel.
"Lieutenant Colonel Lau Aydok welcomes the Liberator. I am really grateful to the two of you for taking care of me so smoothly when I came to the Federation this time, and I didn't have time to say thank you until I was about to leave. "The colonel held Morse. A bright smile appeared on Liu's hand.
"Haha, politely, the captain is all for the cause of the alliance, what else do you share, we only hope that our hard work will not be in vain, now we have two space carriers, you go back and command this ship well, and beat the empire hard, even if it is a thank you to us." Morse. Liu said politely.
"The mission of beating the empire is not what I am good at, or do you have to rely on our starfighters and our pilots, do you say? Rissen. Major Nigaul. Colonel Aristide turned his gaze to Ryson.
"You know me? Sir. Risen was stunned for a moment, before he introduced himself.
"Of course, wouldn't it be humiliating if I didn't even know one of the greatest heroes of our alliance's history? It was an honor for the ship that the Liberator had just been commissioned and that the major could be boarded. The colonel said, half-jokingly, half-hopefully, "It would be better if the major could stay on the ship and command the starfighter wing of his own ship." ”
"Captain, I'd love to fight under your command, but that's not for me to decide, and I'll have to obey the Alliance's High Command." Risen politely replied, of course, it doesn't matter if he is happy or not, if the High Command of the Alliance asks him to serve on this new ship, even if he is not happy, he still has to come?
"Haha, that's a good point, lad. It is enough to have your words, and if you are assigned to this ship in the future, you are not allowed to shirk it. The old colonel's eyes narrowed, and the space carrier was not loaded with too many neutron beam cannons or quantum torpedoes for the ship, and was only equipped with some necessary self-defense systems, and her offensive and defensive strength was fully reflected in the starfighter wing on the ship, and the starfighter wing had excellent performance starfighters - currently lightning fighters and excellent star fighter pilots - with the two best examples of Risen and Schneier in front of him, this is the key guarantee to fully wield the combat power of the space carrier.
And if he can't have both, he'd rather have a pilot. Captain Aristide is also a pilot, he knows the importance of people, with good pilots or experienced commanders, even if there are fewer carrier-based aircraft units, so one or two squadrons, the overall combat strength will not necessarily be much reduced. But if the pilots who fly these fighters are all inexperienced novices, that's enough. Even if they are given all the fighters with excellent performance, they will not necessarily be able to fully exploit the excellent performance of these fighters.
"Of course not. Captain. Risen replied with a straight face.
"That's good, that's good." Captain Aristide nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Schneier and said, "This is Captain Schneier." ”
"It's the captain."
"Young and promising, I've lived so long and been at this age, and the number of crashes is less than half of yours."; The old colonel shook his head with emotion. Compared with Risen in this life, he wants to use it, but he is this person next to Risen Rimson, and he has more than 20 downs, which is also a remarkable record. If it weren't for the over-eye-catching performance of Risen Ressen, he would never be as lonely as he is now.
But I don't really care about the way he looks. Captain Aristide looked at their files. He was a little envious of his partners, who had always fought together and shared hardships together, and the true friendship they had established between them was definitely through countless wars and trials of life and death.
"Captain, we are just lucky to have encountered so many enemy planes in war, and you are at our age, but in peacetime, if you switch places with us, you will definitely achieve a better record." Schneier didn't know what the captain was thinking, but he was genuinely glad to hear the praise for his performance.
"Don't comfort me, Captain, the reality is that I am already old, whether it is reflexes, physical strength or concentration, I can't be a pilot anymore, so I have to be a captain," he lowered his voice and said in a warning tone: "Two of you, I will give you a piece of advice, while you are still young, fight more enemy planes, and enjoy the fun of flying more, lest you have more than enough strength in the future, and you will regret it and have no regrets to take medicine." Also, don't be promoted too quickly, the officials are too high, those guys are not allowed to go out casually, either emphasizing regulations, emphasizing safety guidelines, or just focusing on the overall situation. If you are promoted to the general, the general Fei said it very well, then it is actually ......"
"Ahem...... Ahem Captain?? A serious officer beside the captain couldn't help but frown and cough twice.
"Okay, okay, I got it, Chris. I'm just talking to them, isn't it? ”
"Yes, Captain, thank you for the reminder." Risen and Schneier couldn't help but laugh at what the Captain Colonel said.
"Alright, Chris, you take Major Nigaul and Captain Schneier to their cabin, Lieutenant Colonel Liu, please come with me." Captain Aristide instructed.
"Wait a minute, Captain." Risen hurriedly shouted that he hadn't forgotten something.
"What's the matter? Major? ”
"Uh, can I look up the list of people on the ship?" He asked softly.
The captain gave him a surprised look, he didn't know why Risen wanted to check the list of people on the ship, but he still replied in the affirmative, "Of course, major, these messages are not top secret, with your permission, you can access it completely, and you can use the computer terminal in your cabin." But Major, why are you looking into this? ”
"I think maybe a good friend of mine is on this ship too." Risen glanced at Lieutenant Colonel Aydock, his voice lowered.
"Really?" Captain Aristide was immediately interested, this young man's good friend should not be an ordinary person, is there really a friend on the ship? Who is it that he has seen all the relevant files that are getting away? How did he not know? "Tell me what his name is?"
"She's a woman's name, maybe she doesn't use her real name, so I'm not sure, I need to look it up to confirm."
"Oh." The captain was lost in thought, and there were quite a few women on the Liberator, and he was considering which one was more likely.
His heart moved, he remembered a woman, could it be her?
