"Welcome aboard, Major Thule."
Risen stood under the fuselage of a keyhole warning and control aircraft, and looked at the middle-aged officer in his early thirties standing in front of him with some curiosity, although this former colleague of the 11th Fleet knew him, but whether it was in the Imperial Fleet, or attacking the Holland space station, TAU- station, or the Agama base, he had not paid special attention to this major, nor had he dealt with him, but now they were going to work together on the same ship, and they shared the experience of the Imperial 11th Fleet, Let him feel from the bottom of his heart for the major in front of him...
"Thank you, sir." The former Imperial officer didn't even need to look at the rank on Risson's shoulder and the emblem on his chest, he immediately raised his hand and saluted, the person standing in front of him, this face, was not new to him, and a very important reason why he strongly asked to transfer the Archangel number was because of this person.
Risson quickly raised his hand and saluted, although the two sides had the same rank, but Risson's position as flight captain was obviously higher than that of this squadron leader, not to mention that he was also the recipient of the Star Wing Medal, although the rules of the army were like this, but he still felt slightly uncomfortable in the face of this officer who was more than ten years older than him and half a head taller than him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Major Tulle, and I'm Captain Risson of the Ninth Air Force. Major Nigaul, welcome to the Ninth Air Force. Risen lowered his hand first.
"It's my pleasure, sir, and it's a pleasure to meet you." The officer replied with a hint of glee, Ressen's age. It didn't make him feel anything, in his eyes, Risson's age and seniority had long been so insignificant compared to the brilliant miracles he had created.
"Just call me Risson, that's what they all call it, sir, it sounds weird, it's not a formal occasion. We're still on the same level. ”
"Understood. Then you're welcome. The major laughed.
"That's exactly how it should be. Let me introduce me," Risen gestured to Schneier, who was standing beside him, "Captain of the Thunderbirds, Captain Schneier, who had served on the USS Columbus since the 11th Fleet. ”
"You know, who in the fleet doesn't know about your famous Imperial Twin Pair. I didn't expect ......" After the two men greeted each other, the Thule Major sighed, "It's been so long, so much has happened, and you are still together now." ”
"Sonia. Major Young, Captain of the Angels Wing. Resson turned his head to the side and gestured to Sonia.
"Sonia. Young, Angels?? The Blue Angels? Are you a federal volunteer? Major Thule was stunned for a moment. A voice of surprise blurted out.
"You know?" This time, Risen and Sonia were surprised. Knowing that there are not many people who send volunteers to fight in the Federation, it is even more rare that he immediately thought of the Blue Angels from the name of the person and the name of the wing.
"Of course." Major Thule nodded. His eyes were a little abrupt, as if he had gone back to the past, remembering the days he had spent in the Imperial Army, "The Daimyo of the Blue Angels, can the fleet operations staff officers who are fighting on the front line not know?" Although I didn't know who the captain of the Blue Angels was at the time, after I joined the Alliance, I had heard about Operation Firefox that you had participated in, and I had also read the training materials you left behind when I formed this 151 Squadron, but I didn't expect to meet my former opponents on this ship, and we will still work together in the future, which is really unpredictable.......
He looked at the three people standing in front of him with envy, and secretly congratulated himself on his correct decision, this time the transfer was definitely worth it. The three people in front of him are all legendary ace pilots, and they participate in the battle together, even if they don't have too many combat exploits, at least the chance of surviving is higher than staying in other units, of course, he can also choose to continue to stay in his previous position, stay in the comfortable rear, stay in the intelligence department, but that kind of work is not what he wants, he has been in the fleet headquarters and the alliance's intelligence department for too long, and now, he can re-command a squadron and participate in the battle with these legendary figures, he was already satisfied.
It's just that he still feels a little regretful, he is not an interstellar fighter pilot, and he is not in command of a fighter squadron, he failed to pass the selection of interstellar fighter pilots, and has to serve as a pilot of some auxiliary aircraft such as keyholes, electronic storms or ambulance support ships, but what does it matter? It was enough for him to be able to return to the brilliant starry sky, not to mention that the role that a keyhole can play in a joint operation is definitely much greater than that of a lightning.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, thank you for saving my father and little sister from the TAU-29 space station in the Hada system, and without your efforts, they might still be in the prison of the Empire." Major Thule bowed slightly.
"You're so polite, it was almost a year ago, by the way, they're all okay now."
"Fortunately, my father worked at the Newport News shipyard in Siberia, and my younger sister joined the Confederate Army like me and is currently serving in the Seventh Fleet under the command of Admiral Martin."
"That's good," Resson nodded, "come with me, say hello to our captain, and settle your 151 Squadron as soon as possible, we're now on our way to Star Field XY1987 on a combat patrol mission, and by the way, pick up the Swift returning from the Earth Federation." ”
"I know, Risson," said Major Thule as he followed, "I hope the Speedy will bring us some good news, and not let us down." ”
"Good news? What good news can we expect? Risen glanced at him and stopped, he remembered what Lady Almeda had mentioned when she gave her mission, the Speedy should have some important information on board, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, what he brought back from the Federation, whether it was intelligence or other information or materials, what was not important? But now even Major Thule said the same, he had seen his information, this major had been working in the intelligence service since he joined the League, and he just said, don't let them down? And what does that mean? If the things on the Express are just a normal shipment similar to the previous one, this sentence will generally not be used.
This aroused his great interest, and he was keenly aware that it was likely that the mission of the Speedy was not so simple this time, and Major Tulle, he must know something, and Risen couldn't help but be a little suspicious, was it really as simple as just going to the Ninth Air Force to be a squadron leader of a keyhole warning and control squadron?
"Well, this ......" Major Thule hesitated for a moment, he was considering, thinking about what to say.
"Actually, it's nothing, sir," he finally decided to answer Ryson's question, this is not a leak, Risen already knows enough, and the relevant information, in the capacity of Risen as the recipient of the Star Wing Medal, if he wants to know, it should not be a problem for him, besides, it is difficult to say whether this difficult problem can be solved by the federal side.
"Risson, do you remember the battle at the base of Agama?" He asked rhetorically.
"Of course, how can you forget? Aren't you the one who will lead the fleet against Agama? Risson still remembers the costly battle, and he once questioned the necessity of the battle in his logbook.
"Yes, then I don't think you don't know that we attacked the Agarma base to obtain some vital imperial intelligence."
"I know that we have gained a lot of useful information, the most important of which is the three-dimensional blueprint of the Imperial Super Banshee Starfighter, which allowed us to know a lot about the new Starfighter before the Empire was put into service, and this information has helped us a lot in several encounters."
"No, you're wrong about one thing." Major Thule shook his head, "The most important piece of information is not the blueprint of the Super Banshee. ”
"What?" Risen was a little surprised, isn't it important to have the blueprints and specifications of a new starfighter of the enemy army?
"Actually, among the information we obtained, there are a total of three parts of the information that are relatively difficult to decipher, one of which is low-level, and our intelligence officers have worked hard to decipher this part first, which is the design of the Super Banshee, and the other two parts, the highest level of encryption, we have tried our best, but we have never been able to decipher it, which is really frustrating."
"That said, these two parts are more important than the blueprints of the Super Banshee." Ressen fell into deep thought.
"That's why we believe that these two parts should include the relevant content of the Omega Project." Major Thule explained.
"Project Omega? What is it? Why is it so important? Risen looked at each other with Sonia and Schneier, and from the confused expressions on their faces, it was clear that they didn't know anything about it.
"I don't know," Major Thule said, spreading his hands, "maybe it's a weapons plan, maybe it's a battle plan, maybe it's ...... But what it is, we really don't know, it's like being blocked by a black fog, the only thing we know is that it's important, but we can't decipher it. In the end, the alliance headquarters decided to decipher these two parts of the content through intelligence exchange and sharing, with the help of the power of the Federation, but unfortunately, the experts of the Federation are also as helpless as us, some time ago, a new method of deciphering was proposed, maybe it can break the mystery, but it will take time, we estimate, now the time should be about the same, whether it is successful or not, the fast number will give us an answer. ”
"I see." Risen finally understood what important information the Speedy might be, but that was only possible.
"Project Omega!" He muttered the name of the plan, the first time Risen had heard the official name of the plan. One hundred and sixty-four, the importance of the Speed
