One hundred and sixty-three, the new early warning and control squadron

(The early stage of the Canton Fair is finally over today.,First temporarily rush to send a chapter.,Tmall can come back tomorrow.,Return to normal updates next week.,No way.,Every April、October cats basically have to go to Guangzhou)

"Star Field XY-1987?" The faces of the three of them froze in unison, their impressions of that star field were still fresh in their minds, and they had guessed where they would be sent before. But he didn't expect to go back to the old place again, which was really a bit of a surprise, but after all, these three people had been tested for a long time, and their faces quickly returned to calm in an instant. I'll tell you that the fastest update is Eye. Hurry?

"Yes, ma'am, only, why did you send us there? What are we going to do there? Yao asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a simple combat patrol mission, go around and come back, an ordinary small mission, mainly to train and run in the crew of the Archangel. The lady replied.

"Combat patrols? Take a turn? That's it? Resson couldn't help but say, he didn't doubt this lady's words, it's just that last time Lady Almeda also said that it was a simple investigation mission, but it turned out to be a big fight with Emperor Yankuai, and as a result, they almost couldn't come back.

"Well, let's take another boat by the way. Lady Elmeida smiled slightly, "The return time of the Swift is scheduled to be in a week, and the activities of this Star Domain Emperor Yankuai are gradually increasing, so I need to trouble you to take a trip for this." ”

"Sure enough. Risen muttered quietly, knowing it wasn't that simple.

"Is it still the same ship as the last time, the Archangel?" Yao was silent for a moment. He asked slowly.

"No, we won't be as rash as we were last time, this time the Archangel will be escorted by two destroyers, and High Command will have you equipped with a keyhole warning and control squadron. ”

"What? Keyhole squadrons? Isn't there no extra keyhole anymore? Sonia, Yao and Risen glanced at each other, and there was unconcealed joy on everyone's face at the same time. It's a valuable machine they've always wanted but never won't get.

"That's right, there really aren't any extra keyholes. This squadron," the lady nodded, "strictly speaking, it's only half a squadron, and this is a reserve squadron that is still being formed, and it is understaffed, and the entire squadron has only two keyholes. Commander Major Tulle, Major Nigaul, you should know him. ”

"Who? Major Thule? Risen repeated blankly, this name, it sounds so familiar, he must have heard it somewhere?

"Huh? Forget that he asked to defect to the Alliance during your attack on the Holland station. Mrs. Almeida reminded.

"It's him," Risen immediately remembered the major in his mind. After his successful defection, the Alliance agreed to his terms and captured the Tau-29 space station in the Hatta system, rescuing his sister and father, and the major was redirected to the Agama Empire base in the Halley system, where the Seventh Fleet had gained some information with considerable losses. This includes some of the Blueprints for the Empire's Super Banshee, and two parts of information that have yet to be deciphered, but Risen believes that these two parts must contain some key information that is crucial to the Alliance, and in this regard, the losses are worth it, not to mention the shock of Agama's attack to the Empire.

"Major?" Sonia's brow furrowed slightly, and she calmly questioned, "Ma'am." You see. The three of us have the rank of major. Major Tulle joins again, the captain, flight captain and squadron leader on the Archangel are all majors, and now they have become four junior majors, is it appropriate? ”

"Wrong, Major Yang, it's not four, it's six?"

"Six? Major? Resson couldn't believe his ears, and he looked closely at Lady Elmeda, who didn't seem to be joking with him.

"But not all of them are on the Archangel, the two escort destroyers, the captain of the Courage, Major Kane, the captain of the Determination, and Major Thoros, so, there are six in total," Mrs. Elmeida chuckled softly, "According to the relevant regulations of the Alliance, when the captain level and military street are the same, the captain of the ship with tactical superiority will have actual command in the joint operation, so, Yao, you can command the ship at that time, not only the Archangel." ”

"So, I'm actually commanding a detachment? Is that so? Madame, are you so relieved that I will command a detachment? The girl's face changed slightly, commanding a ship is not the same thing as commanding a fleet, and she herself does not know whether she is ready to take on such a responsibility.

"Indeed, frankly speaking, some of our commissioners are a little uneasy, but we really don't have much choice for this special mothership commanded by a major, the Archangel cannot be assigned to a similar Seventh Fleet for joint operations, she will hold the entire fleet in tow, and it is a bit of a waste to include cruisers and fast battleships to escort it, and the captains of our cruisers and fast battleships are generally lieutenant colonels or colonels, who will command them? It is unthinkable for a major to command a lieutenant colonel and colonel, and it is equally unacceptable for a cruiser captain to command an entire fleet, including a space carrier, and it was originally intended to appoint a senior officer to take command, but I believe in you, and with Major Nigaul assisting you, I believe you can do a good job. ”

"Have faith?" The lady put away her smile and asked with a serious face.

The girl didn't say anything, just nodded firmly, there was nothing more precious than this trust.

"So, what about Major Thule?" Risen couldn't help but say, "He's going to stay on the Archangel." ”

"Major Tulle, it seems that he knows a lot more about you than you know about him, and if I'm not mistaken, Major Nigaul, you're still comrades-in-arms, he used to serve with you in the Eleventh Fleet of the Empire. ”

"Yes," Risen admitted. "But I learned this later, in the Eleventh Fleet, the two of us didn't cross each other at all, I was on the Columbus, and he was the operational staff officer at the Fleet Command, maybe he knew me, but I didn't know him. I don't know him either. ”

"It seems that your reputation is not ordinary," Lady Almeda looked at him with interest. "You know what? Major, how did we finally decide to send an unformed squadron to sign the Archangel? ”

Risen didn't know, and she didn't expect Risen to answer, and said to herself, "Actually, this is Major Tulle's request, and he is in charge of forming a new keyhole team. I don't know where I knew that the Archangel lacked a keyhole warning and control squadron, so I took the initiative to call the transfer report, asking him to transfer half of the squadron to the Archangel, the issue of military rank we have not considered, but Major Thule is very resolute, in order to be able to get to the Archangel, he proposed, he can even be demoted to captain. ”

"Degraded?" Risen was dumbfounded. "Why? There's no need for that. ”

"That's your problem, it seems that there are quite a few people who want to fight side by side with you, and even the application for demotion and transfer has come out," Mrs. Almeida smiled, "Some time ago, you called for more than half of the total crew on the Liberator to volunteer to go to the Archangel. The pilot is gone, and poor Aristide is still regretting it behind his back. ”

What else could Risen say, he had to keep silent now, in this matter, he himself felt sorry for Captain Aristide, sorry for the Liberator, he originally just planned to recruit some volunteers first, and if someone didn't want to, he didn't want to force others to leave. Crews and pilots are needed. It will only be selected from the volunteer applicants, but I didn't expect this matter to be spread all over the Liberator at once. There was an endless stream of applicants, far more than the number of people they needed, of course, the pilot he accepted them all honestly and unceremoniously, as for the selection of the crew, it was a headache for Fei Ren, in order to ensure that the Archangel could be in a full combat state, and not have too much impact on the Liberator, the girl was very troubled.

"Now, depending on your decision, if you think there is something wrong with the rank and command, Captain Thule will join the 9th Air Force of the Archangel with the 151st Early Warning and Control Squadron."

"Hmm......" Resson pondered for a few seconds, a little hesitant, although on the Archangel, Sonia is also a major like herself and Feiren, but her relationship with herself and Feiren is very different, and Lady Elmeda has also confessed to him in private that as volunteers sent to the Alliance by the Earth Federation, the Federation personnel have their own particularities, on the one hand, they are helping the Alliance, but on the other hand, they also need to maintain a certain degree of independence. The lady was very subtle when she said it at the time, but Risen understood what she meant, he had advanced access privileges, which allowed him to consult some documents and records of both sides, he knew that the Federation was wary of the Alliance, and not everything was completely open, of course, the Resistance Alliance was the same, this was very real, no matter how good the relationship was, there were some things that should be kept secret, and what should be insisted on must also be maintained, which is why Sonia and Fei Lun, who are both majors with him, are an important reason, just for balance. In the words of the federal liaison in the League, it is to avoid "undue abuse" of federal volunteers.

But Major Tulle's situation was clearly different, and Risen had no doubt that his own Starwing Medal would be able to command him, even if he was a major, but that was his situation, if something happened to him...... He turned his head to look at Yao, could she handle it?

The two of them looked at each other, Yao understood the worry in his eyes, she shook her head, and said, "Don't worry, in normal times, the ship command and the deployment of carrier-based aircraft are respectively responsible for the captain and the flight captain, and they do not interfere with each other, and the position of the captain of the space carrier is higher than that of the flight captain, let alone the squadron leader, I think it's no problem." ”

"I see," Risen turned his head to, "Ma'am, no, just let Major Thule and the 151st Squadron report to the Archangel." ”

"Are you convinced?"

"Yes, if we can't even solve these minor internal problems, what are we talking about fighting the Empire?"

"Then I wish you all the best of luck, the Archangel can sail directly to the JPL Space Jump Point, and the Spirit, Determination, and 151st Squadron will meet you in front of the Space Jump Point. "Remember, you must bring the Express back safely, I think, it should be almost time, and she should have some important information on board, both for our League and the Federation." ”

Although Resson didn't know why Lady Elmeida said that last sentence, he raised his right hand in salute along with Fei Lun and Sonia.

"Yes, ma'am. ”。.。
