Text One hundred and fifty-nine, Mrs. Elmeda's surprise

"Madam, although it is very presumptuous, there is a question that cannot be left unmentioned, Risson, Fei Lun and I are all in the rank of major, is this arrangement a little inappropriate? Maybe it will cause some confusion in the command or, ma'am, what other ideas do you have, which you have considered in its entirety? Can you tell us what you and the Committee think? In a voice of congratulations and congratulations, Sonia raised her objection in a tactful tone.

"It makes sense, if the three of them disagree, who do we listen to?" Schneier also muttered.

Risson and Yao glanced at each other, and then they turned their gazes to Lady Elmeda, quietly waiting for her explanation......

Sonia's words asked a trace of doubt in their hearts, Yao has not yet recovered from the joy and excitement brought by this appointment, the captain of the space carrier, the highest height that a captain can reach, she never dreamed that she was only a major, only in her early twenties, she could hold such an important position, she had dreamed of it before, she had a beautiful dream, but with her leaving the army, she no longer thought about it, she didn't expect it to come true in the alliance; Risson, on the other hand, had confidence in Lady Almeda, and he believed that since she had arranged it this way, she must have considered it, and he had planned to bring it up later, but since Sonia had already said it, let's listen to what Lady Almeda had to think about it.

"Good question, Major, I'll explain it to you in detail." Lady Elmeda nodded appreciatively to her, and she turned and walked slowly back to her seat, and sat down. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "First of all, I must emphasize that as I have just said, this appointment is a change from the norm, and this cannot be a convention, it is just a special appointment under special circumstances. In other words. The next is not an example. ”

"Under this general principle. Let's talk about this appointment again, the use of this space carrier, well, the Archangel, is very special, and she has a lot of similarities and differences with our current strategic and tactical style, although the alliance's military power is constantly transforming and adjusting with the expansion of our strength. But obviously, we still can't, or don't want to fight a conventional war with the Empire in an upright and open manner, and most of our battles will still be special operations such as raids and breaking diplomatic relations, so the use of the Archangel will cause so much controversy, and if it is not used properly, it will not only not help the military forces of the allies. It can even have very serious consequences for us. ”

"Still. It would be a shame to let such a space carrier be abandoned, although it is 'second-hand', it is still extremely powerful. The original plan was to use its hull to train our starfighter pilots or to use it as an experimental ship for weapons and electronics, but the severe damage to the Liberator forced us to reconsider the possibility of putting it into battle, and the Alliance currently only has one space carrier, the Assault space carrier, and we need to fill the gap in this period before those Xindi fast space carriers are built and put into service, which will have to choose her captain carefully. I note that you have some comments on the various questions raised by the members of the interpellation meeting," explained Mrs. Almeda with a smile, "I am sorry for that, but the members have to be careful about making this particular adaptation. ”

I see, Resson nodded secretly, no wonder they had to ask so many questions, no wonder why they asked her if she had left the Federal Army, why she came to the Alliance, her previous resume, etc., if Fei Lun was still in the Federal Army, and was a volunteer assigned to the Alliance by the Federal Army like Sonia, then no matter how outstanding her ability was, she would not be accepted as the captain of the ship anyway, this is the Alliance land, and it is impossible to appoint a captain of the Federation.

"Captain, I won't mention whether you have the ability to command a space carrier, your performance in this operation is fully proven, and Captain Aristide has not hesitated to give you many praises. However, the commissioners are more interested in your previous resume, you were born in the Federation, you have received regular combat training, commanding this conventional space carrier for regular operations is not a big problem for you, but not only that, in the Blue Angels, your Blue Angels perform some special operations, which is very similar to the current combat style of our alliance, if there is anyone who can better command this conventional space carrier to integrate into the alliance's combat sequence, I think it should be you. She smiled lightly, "Or, you think, why would a major be chosen to command this ship?" Although the Alliance has very few candidates to be the captain of a space carrier, we can find one. ”

"However, after all, this is a special practice, and we are not completely sure whether it will really work, in order to ensure that there are no problems, we finally decided to put Ruisen. Major Nigaul also assigned this ship, according to the convention, although the ship command and the deployment of carrier-based aircraft are respectively responsible for the captain and the flight captain, and do not interfere with each other, but in order to facilitate management, the military rank of the captain of the space carrier is still higher than the flight captain, and the decision of the ordinary combat operation will be made by the captain after consultation between the captain and the flight captain, and your decisions on the Archangel will also be handled as usual, but if there is really a disagreement, Major Nigaul is the recipient of the Star Wing Medal, and has the final in case of emergency

However, it must be recorded and submitted to the superior after the action has been taken. ”

"That's why you're a major at the same time, if that happens, you're at the same level, I think it might be more convenient, in addition, we've also considered the relationship between you, I believe it shouldn't happen too much, and even if there is, you will definitely be able to negotiate and solve it." The smile on the lady's face was visibly warm.

"I see, I see, but, Sonia......" Risen felt some heat on his face, and he glanced at Sonia, who was listening carefully. Yang, it seems that she was not mentioned just now, but Mrs. Elmeda's words seem to indicate something, Sonia has the identity of the Federation Army.

Major Yang ...... Hmmm," the lady muttered. She seemed to be thinking about how to speak, and her face seemed to be a little apologetic, or embarrassed.

"I understand, ma'am, although I am also a major, I must accept Captain Yao Feilun and Risen . Major Nigaul's command, is it? Sonia said, her face and voice calm. It's as if what he said has nothing to do with her.

"Yes. You will serve as a wing leader for one of the Archangel's three combat wings. Well, basically, according to the current formation of the Liberator, the Archangel will have three fighter wings, which will be composed of Captain Schneier, Risson. Major Nigaul and you serve as wing captains, and Major Nigaul is also the flight captain of the Liberator, so ......"

"Or, if you don't think it's appropriate." Mrs. Elmeida added, "You can choose to go to the Seventh Fleet in Admiral Martin's Land, the first few groups of Federation pilots have formed a separate fighter wing in the Seventh Fleet, the wing leader is a federal ground colonel, we can ...... with your Federation liaison"

"No," she blurted out without help herself, and she shook her head, "I'd still like to stay on the Archangel." Can serve as a starfighter wing commander. That's enough."

"That's good." The lady smiled quietly, she already knew what choice she would make, and she knew very well the relationship between them.

The Alliance is in dire need of pilots at the moment. The Archangel needed her, and it was impossible for her to remain on the Liberator with nothing to do, but the Liberator would have to repair for months. But with Major Nigaul and Major Yao, she can only be wronged, besides, she is not a member of the Alliance, this alone is enough, not to mention whether she will return to the Federation after the six-month rotation period.

Although she also held the rank of major, the complicated relationship between her and Major Nigaul and Major Yao may have made the problem less prominent for the command than it was on other ships.

Mrs. Elmeida felt a little ashamed, she felt that she seemed to be taking advantage of her feelings, the feelings between the three of them, and she wondered if she was a little mean, a little out of place.

She tried not to think about it, this was war, this was politics, she was the leader of the Resistance League, she couldn't think too much......

"Three fighter wings, are there any other types of aircraft? Are we a full air force? Where did those fighters and pilots come from? Risen asked in wonder, a week ago there were no pilots and fighters, or the Liberator would not have only carried a wing, and would not have been severely damaged.

"Of course, the Admiral Archangel is a complete air fleet, not only Lightning, but also other types of aircraft, as for the fighters and pilots, there will be them then, after all, it is not to set sail now, there is still a month to go, I promise, you will have a surprise then." The lady smiled mysteriously.

They were pleasantly surprised, Mrs. Elmeda's assurances were quite effective, although they had not yet set sail, but in the finished hangar of the Archangel, they saw the first batch of Lightning fighters to arrive, they all had a bright tulip on the tail of the plane, and when they saw the familiar sign, Resson was really happy and moved, this was his squadron, his tulip squadron, he finally knew what the surprise Mrs. Almeda was talking about.

"Captain......

"Great, Captain, we're together again at last."

"Jessica," "Louie! "Welsh..... Everyone, everyone is okay. Resson didn't know what to say, these former men, they were all here, behind these familiar faces, and many more that he didn't recognize, they looked younger and more immature, like Jessica and Louie he had seen for the first time.

"Attention!" Jessica shouted the order as she turned behind her, her face suddenly becoming serious, and the crowd immediately lined up to stand upright, and Risen straightened up.

"Sir, please board the ship." Jessica turned around and saluted solemnly in front of Resson.

"Allow," Risen quickly raised his right hand, "welcome to the Archangel." ”
