Text One hundred and seventy-six, independent mobile fleet

This is a quiet star field, within the control of the alliance forces, the Archangel space carrier under the escort of three destroyers, leisurely cruising in this peaceful star field, the fleet that has just completed an important escort mission is returning to the Siberian galaxy, the fleet's alert level has dropped to a normal level, the tension of the previous days has been swept away, people's mood has become relaxed, except for a few officers on duty, most of the crew and pilots have taken advantage of this rare opportunity to rest, Entertainment for entertainment, in war, this kind of opportunity is not too much, so Risen and Fei Lun simply gave most of the crew and pilots a holiday, anyway, even if it is a holiday, they can only stay on the ship, there is nowhere to go.

Until, an allied cruiser emerged from a space jump point in this star field and approached the fleet, and a small space shuttle left the cruiser, circled the Archangel, and finally slowly disappeared into the Archangel's wide hangar......

"Rise. Major Nigaul, Risson. Major Nigaul, please come to the bridge as soon as you hear this......" The ship's internal communications channel repeated the missing person notice.

"That's it, Fei Lun has something to look for me, I'll leave first." In the noisy lounge, Ruisson was amnesty, stuffed the cards in his hand into the pile of cards on the table, and stood up.

"I'm in favor," Hua Yunlong, who was sitting opposite him, didn't say a word, and immediately stuffed the cards in his hand as well. Mix together until you can no longer tell the cards you originally landed.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not mistaken, it's so sloppy, if you don't play, you won't play, it's a waste of my good hand." Schneier wept with a sad face.

"That's it, I can definitely ask you to lose it all this time." Anne's face was also angry.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to kill them all. We threw in the towel. You two have a heart. A great partner, we're willing to give the wind to the wind. Hua Yunlong obediently raised his hands.

"Hahahaha, that's needless to say, it's so cool, I said you two, don't look at your fighter jets flying well, old man Rissen. I'm not as good as you in that regard, but you're far behind me in playing cards, and I can simply describe it in a bad word. Schneier said triumphantly.

"Strange, Risson, what's the matter at this time? The space shuttle that just arrived should be the space shuttle carrying our supplementary pilots, didn't you say that personnel had already been arranged to pick up our newcomers? Anne asked.

"I don't know, I guess there may be something else. Well. Maybe it has something to do with me, otherwise Felen and Sonia should be able to handle it and go. Anyway, when you get to the bridge, you'll know. He said hurriedly, and the figure had disappeared outside the door of the lounge......

"Captain." Seeing Risen hurriedly walking from the front of the passage, Jessica and Davidson immediately stood aside and raised their hands in salute, and the two young pilots behind her also hurriedly put down their bags and raised their hands.

Risen raised his hand in return, he looked at the two young men, although their faces were very raw, he had a vague impression, he looked at their resumes, "It's assigned to the Tulip Squadron." ”

"Yes, it's the newcomers who have been added this time, and the two of them have been assigned to the Tulip Squadron." Jessica replied, turning to the two recruits, "Tencent, Elmondo, get to know Major Nigaul, the captain of our Ninth Air Force and the leader of the Tulip Wing. ”

The two recruits stood solemnly, the name of the black tulip, now almost no one in the alliance does not know, they are naturally no exception, many of their flight cadets this year are because they worship Risen and joined the alliance, compared to many of the same class of students, the two of them are lucky, not only were assigned to fight under the command of this legendary figure, but also saw this legendary big man as soon as they got on the ship.

Yes, for them, Risen is definitely a big shot, although the actual image of this person looks much younger than the advertised one, and judging by the way he looks, he is not even a few years older than them.

"Sir, Sergeant Tianxin", "Sergeant Elmondo,", "Ordered to report for duty." ”

"Welcome aboard the Archangel, welcome to the Ninth Air Force," Resson nodded, "Jessica, I'll go to the bridge beforehand, and they'll be handed over to you, settle them." ”

"Understood, Captain."

Looking at the back of Ruisen leaving in a hurry, the two recruits were speechless, "He is the black tulip, it seems that we all thought wrong, I really didn't expect it to be true, no, even ......"

"Or even what?" Davidson asked curiously.

"Well, even younger." Elmondo embarrassedly explained, "When we first saw the image of the propaganda place, we didn't think it was possible, the miracle achieved by the major, his legendary experience, his achievements, it was too brilliant, and the image of the propaganda poster always felt too young, a little exaggerated, and at that time I thought it was deliberately painted younger and more handsome, in order to achieve maximum publicity."

We estimated that the actual age of the major should be a little older, no, we found out that there was a mistake, we just thought the opposite, the real age of the major is younger than the image of the propaganda poster, not a few years older than our actual age......"

"Hehe, it's a pity that the captain is not a woman, otherwise I must be very happy to hear your feelings." Davidson chuckled.

"This is what it is called, man shall not be seen, and the sea shall not be measured." Jessica said lightly. "Let's go, take your luggage."

"Yes, Captain."

On the bridge of the Archangel.

"Lieutenant Colonel." As soon as Risen stepped into the bridge, an unfamiliar major officer immediately raised his hand and saluted.

"Hey," Risen was stunned for a moment, he immediately raised his hand to return the salute, he looked at the other party, he was also a major, he was still a captain, he knew the captains of the three escort destroyers, so he should be the captain of the cruiser that had just arrived, was it necessary for him to run to the Archangel himself? Also, what did he just call himself?

"You are?" He asked suspiciously, and after thinking about it, he added, "What did you just call me?" ”

"This is Major Wilson, captain of the cruiser USS Hundred-Eyes. By the way, Risson, Captain Wilson is right, this is for you. Yao walked over with a smile and handed Risen a small red brocade box.

"Fei Ren, you ......" Risen looked at the girl in surprise, the rank mark on her shoulder had changed from one star to two stars, and she was now a lieutenant colonel.

He carefully took the brocade box and opened it gently, and sure enough, it was also a new set of rank symbols, and the two stars shone silver in the light of the bridge lights, stimulating his eyes.

"Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel." Captain Wilson said, and there was a round of applause on the bridge.

"It's ......"

"Congratulations, Resson, you deserve it, you're now higher in rank than me." Sonia whispered, smiling and clapping her hands, he had surpassed her in rank and she was proud of him.

"Thank you, Sonia." Risen looked at Sonia with some regret, but it was a pity that she was a volunteer of the Federation, and it was inconvenient for the League to appoint her, otherwise, maybe she would have been a lieutenant colonel or colonel by now.

"Sir, this is the official letter of appointment from the Alliance's High Command." Major Wilson paused for a moment before adding.

Rysson took the letter of appointment, he glanced at it casually, and didn't look at it carefully, because it was unlikely to be a problem, no one would joke about this kind of thing, he just thought it was a little strange, why not wait until he returned to the Siberian system, back to the headquarters of the Resistance League, and then announce the promotion order, but send a cruiser, a major captain, and bring the appointment letter and rank halfway?

"In the future, we will fight together in a fleet, and the squadron of Black Knights carried on the Hundred-Eyed Giant will have to bother the lieutenant colonel." Major Wilson said.

"Is the Hundred-Eyed joining our small fleet?" Ruisen glanced at Yao.

"Yes, our fleet," Yao handed him an order, Risen remembered that he hadn't seen it before, and it was probably brought with Major Wilson, "It was officially given the number of the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet, with the Archangel space carrier as the core, and the escort force currently includes the destroyers Spirit, Resolve, Agama and the cruiser Cenpius, and I am temporarily acting Fleet Commander, responsible for the coordination and operation of the fleet's ships, and all space vehicles of the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet, Starfighters, early warning and control aircraft, electronic storm jammers, ambulance support ships, assault ships, space shuttles, etc., are all assigned to the Ninth Air Force and are under your command. ”

"The alliance headquarters is in such a hurry to not only give us a promotion, but also give us a new number, increase the escort force, and replenish the new pilots, probably ask us to do some drudgery, right?" Risen finally voiced his doubts, there is no free lunch in the world.

"Well, with the letter of appointment, there is indeed another mission, and we are all waiting for you." Yao confirmed Risen guesses.

"I knew it." Ruissen said that if this is the case, but he is curious about what tasks they are asked to perform, why is it so troublesome, in the past few months they have carried out routine sabotage, escort, reconnaissance, patrol and other tasks, relatively speaking, it is relatively simple, this time it may be .......

"So what do we do?" He asked.

"This ......," Rear Admiral Wilson hesitated to glance at the other crew on the bridge.

"I understand, come with me, Major." Yao stood up from the captain's seat. "Yes, sir."
