The Liberator's repair and rearmament work was carried out in a busy but methodical manner in Dock 3 of Newport News Shipyard, where the Rebel Allied technicians first analyzed and assessed the ship's damage in a complete and comprehensive manner and readjusted the original construction plan according to the relevant conclusions, while the workers were busy cleaning up the damaged parts of the ship's hull, and the dock was full of spare equipment and parts for the repair of the ship. The noise, roar and arc light of the construction work combine to create the most lively scene in this super shipyard......

Risson, Sonia and Fei Lun did not participate in this noisy event, the first two are starfighter pilots, and they don't need to intervene in the maintenance and maintenance of warships, in fact, they don't have any ability in this area, if they are too enthusiastic, it is already good if they don't add to the chaos, and it is better to leave it to experienced and capable personnel to deal with. As for Yao, as the acting captain of the Liberator, she was supposed to be duty-bound, but after she had wisely explained the main problem, she handed over the matter to Captain Chris of the Alliance, and she herself focused on completing and submitting a comprehensive and complete report on the investigation as requested by the Alliance headquarters of the Resistance, and was ready to be questioned and questioned by a committee......

The inquiry was private and secret, and Risen clearly felt its importance, as the high levels of the Committee were aware of, for the Council included more than just Mrs. Almeda. It also includes many important members of the Alliance Advisory Council, and the inquiry will not only ask Yao, but also all the relevant personnel such as Risen and Sonia, Schneier, Hua Yunlong, and even Captain Chris will also have to be questioned by the committee, after all, in this battle, one of the Alliance's only two fast space carriers was almost lost, and although the Liberator finally managed to escape, the hull was quite damaged. Counting the crew killed and wounded in the attack and the pilots who were shot down and killed. The number of dead and wounded is still quite high. With nearly 100 people, it is impossible for the Coalition to let this operation be counted in such a hasty manner, and it is necessary to conduct a detailed investigation of the incident, summarize relevant lessons learned, avoid similar situations, and find out or hold accountable whether there is human negligence.

"How? Philen, it's over? Nothing, right? Seeing Yao Luo walking out of the conference room with a hint of exhaustion, Ruisen hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Nothing," the girl replied calmly. "I just reconfirmed the authenticity of the report, and I also learned what I thought when I was appointed acting captain, and how I made the decision and why I made that decision."

Her face was slightly confused and puzzled, "I know that my true identity will definitely not be hidden from them, they can easily know it with a little checking, and the alliance's intelligence system will not even be able to find out this." Their problem is a bit weird, though. Asked a lot. Most of it had little to do with the operation. ”

"Really? So what did they ask? Risen said curiously.

"Ask me about my experience, ask me what I think, ask me why I volunteered to join the League. Ask me how I left the Earth Federation Army in the first place, and most of the questions are related to this. The girl glanced at Risson, she hesitated, but still didn't say anything, and the people from the committee even asked her about her relationship with Risson, and she was a little annoyed at the time, what did she mean by that? Could it be that she, the acting captain, was appointed because of her special relationship with Resson?

She remembered that her answer should have been polite, just sarcastic and disdainful in her tone, and those people should not be so stupid that they couldn't hear it, but these guys were seasoned political veterans, and their faces always maintained a serious expression of listening hypocritically, and they rarely felt happy or angry, but they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

"Don't blame them, who let you hide your identity in the first place," Risen laughed at the unknown point, "If it were me, I would naturally have a strong curiosity about a captain communications officer who understands ships and can fly fighter planes, Fei Ren, your docking action that day was so beautiful and clean, I heard a lot of people talking about it, the seriously injured space carrier can actually dock directly without the help of the space tug, this is the first time I have seen it." ”

"Alright, don't make me happy anymore, how many space carriers does the alliance have? Two ships. Was the Raider wounded? No, the Liberator's docking was not the first time they had seen it. The girl gave him a blank look, but then again, Risen still made her feel very happy to say what she said, and some unhappiness in her heart was quickly forgotten. Especially for girls, compliments and meaty words are indispensable.

"Risson, Fei Lun is right, it's a little strange, what is the purpose of this questioning meeting?" Sonia thought for a moment and said, "We have all read the report of Fei Ren, it has been written in detail and completely, the committee should focus on this report, not on the small things that have nothing to do with the report, well, their questions cannot be said to be completely irrelevant, but it seems that there are too many such questions, some of them put the cart before the horse, perhaps, this question will not be so simple." ”

"That's right." Risen Stand

Coming over, his eyebrows raised, "Could it be that they have some bias towards Fei Ren?"

No, he shook his head, just kidding, what is Fei Ren's identity, the daughter of the chairman of the Appropriations Committee of the Earth Federation Senate, and how much aid has the Earth Federation given to the Alliance? And how much did Senator Yao play in brokering the Aid Coalition resolution? The people on the committee should know that if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, not to mention, she has also helped the alliance train starfighter pilots, has made great contributions to the alliance in Operation Firefox, and was a key person in saving the Liberator in this operation......

Bias? Risen believed that the members of the Committee were not yet idiotic enough to be so stupid, at least with the wisdom and foresight of Lady Almeda, whom he had come into contact with. You will never fail to understand that there must be a reason why they are like this.

"Rise. Major Nigaul, the committee invites you to come in, please come with me. A sergeant came over and said politely.

"Hmm." Risen nodded to the two girls, and with a hint of confusion and doubt, followed the sergeant into the conference room......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The atmosphere in the meeting was silent and solemn, and more than a dozen committee members sat in a semi-arc above. At the top of the arc sat Mrs. Almeda. Her expression was calm. Risen glanced at the other committee members, most of whom he didn't know, some of them were familiar, maybe they had seen them at the awards ceremony, but he couldn't remember, he didn't have any crossovers with them, nothing special about them......

He slowly sat down in a chair in the middle of the room. The questioning of him officially began.

At first, the questions were very "routine", nothing unusual, and the questions of the committee members were focused on the problems that occurred in this investigation mission, such as the Empire's unmanned monitor, the approach to the space jump point, the sudden attack of the quantum torpedo, his sortie and the attack on the cruiser, etc., many of the questions were very sharp and professional, and they asked the Liberator if it had taken the necessary measures when it discovered the unmanned monitor and approached the space jump point, since he had already estimated that it might be discovered by the Empire. Why do you want to throw yourself into the net? The crux of that attack. The Empire's quantum torpedo attack, why wasn't it detected earlier?

He felt a lot of sweat running out of his back, and he was a little caught up in the questions. Some of the questions were really difficult to answer, he felt like a robot mechanically recalling the scene at that time, Risen was a little worried, if he wanted to be held responsible, it would start with the leadership of the Liberator, and now Captain Aristide was seriously injured, and the lieutenant commander and vice captain were killed, not counting Yao, the acting captain, he was actually the highest officer of the mothership, and if he was unlucky, he would definitely be the first.

"Major," said Mrs. Almeda, who had sat in the middle and had not asked questions before, but had only listened quietly, as the end of the end, Lieutenant Aristide had put the ship in charge of you, and you had given you the responsibility of the ship, just to make you acting captain and let you save the ship, but you abdicated your responsibility?" What do you think? ”

"Ma'am, I don't think I've abdicated my responsibility, on the contrary, it is the responsibility of this ship that I have decided to do so, Philen has served as a captain, from an ordinary destroyer to the cruiser Archangel, and she has even commanded ships to and from the death route, she is more experienced and competent than me who has never commanded a ship."

"My duty is to save this ship, to save this badly damaged ship, it will take all the personnel to work together and use their best effectiveness so that we can get out of this situation, I think that staying outside, staying in the cockpit, is undoubtedly more effective than staying on the ship to command, and Feiren, who better fit than her when we need a captain now? Is there anyone else on this ship who has ever had experience as a captain and commanding a ship? ”

"Major, I heard that you and Captain Yao Feilun are in a relationship, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, ma'am, I don't deny it," Risen felt a little unhappy in his heart, "but in this dangerous situation, I will not let my feelings affect my sanity, I know Philen, I believe in her, she is our best choice, and the Libertador's final escape also proves the correctness of this decision." ””

"Her acting captain was appointed by you, Major?" With a tolerant smile, Madame Almeda asked, "How would you rate her performance as acting captain of the Liberator?" ”

"She can be calm and calm when the crisis comes, not panicked, can adapt to changes in the situation, adopt effective strategies and tactics, and do not stick to traditional and conventional thinking, Fei Lun is a starfighter pilot, she understands the pilot's thinking, knows how to make better use of the starfighter, and has commanded the ship, since serving as the acting captain of the Liberator, she has handled the ship's affairs in an orderly manner, she is a suitable person, fully qualified for the position of acting captain, at least better than me." Risen replied without hesitation.

"Thank you, Major." Lady Elmeda nodded in satisfaction, "You can leave." "Wings of the Starry Sky Text One hundred and fifty-seven, interrogatory
