One hundred and eighty-one, prologue
The fighting had completely subsided, the raging and raging energy had died down for the time being, and the Imperial cruiser Yagulis, which had caught fire and lost control, was still slowly tumbling - they now knew the names of the two cruisers, and the few surviving Imperial fighters were closely monitored by the Allied fighters and headed back to the relatively intact cruiser Furster.
Although a ceasefire has been achieved, Risen does not dare to be careless, and who can say that this is not a delaying tactic by the Empire? Who knows if there will be any accidents? Who knows if the emperor will finally change his mind and regret it...... It's stupid to do that.
The cruiser Frost was ordered to lower the almost depleted shield that protected the ship, shut down the engines and various weapons systems on board, and several Lightning fighters of the Alliance aimed the synchronous particle cannon directly at the bridge of the cruiser to prevent any movement of the enemy ship, and all the surviving Imperial fighters were asked to temporarily land on the Frost, and the pilots were all off the plane......
No one objected, no one dared to disobey orders, and from the moment the ceasefire and surrender signal was issued, although they were uncomfortable, they understood that they could only accept that their lives were now in the hands of others, and that they had no better choice.
Electronic storm jammers are still suppressing and interfering with long-range communications in nearby star fields, keyhole warning and control planes are vigilantly hovering around the outer edge of the battlefield, monitoring every move in nearby star fields......
Several ambulance support ships sent from the Archangel have already departed. Its mission was to rescue Allied pilots who had been shot down in battle, and a total of seven Lightning fighters had been shot down in air combat and ship attacks, and fortunately they had received five emergency rescue signals, in addition to Imperial signals......
Compared with these finishing problems, it is more troublesome, and what makes Risen more headache is, how to deal with these Imperial officers and soldiers who surrendered? And the surrendered ships?
“...... We don't have that much time. Yao shook his head. Our mission has been accomplished. The Normandy system must be evacuated as soon as possible. Lest there be complications, if both enemy ships are badly damaged and require a long repair time, it is impossible for us to wait for them here. ”
"I agree, Philen. However, it seems to me that the damage to the Agulis may have been severe. But the Furster, it doesn't look that bad, at least its engines and weapons systems are pretty much normal, maybe ......," Risen said, and he looked at the Furster again, the ship was not on fire and the engines were normal, except for a few breaks in the hull.
"Yes, sir. Lieutenant Colonel Nigaul was right. Wouldn't it be a shame to give them up? These are two Sabre-class cruisers, much stronger than the Courage, and what about the surrender of the two ships? And how to arrange it? Do you just throw them into space like this? Perhaps there are those who are willing to join the Alliance. The captain of the Spirit, Major Kane, chimed in.
"It's not impossible to put it in space." Captain Wilson suggested. "Among the people who surrendered to the enemy ship, if anyone is willing to join the alliance, we can let them evacuate with us, and the other emperor ** personnel, let them take the escape pod for temporary shelter, there are still some Imperial fighters who have slipped through the net nearby, after we leave, the interference will disappear, and they will call for help to the nearby Imperial authorities."
"Well......" the girl hesitated, she did feel a little pity, she thought about it carefully, and said, "In this case, let's send the Storm Assault crew to board the ship, control the two enemy ships, assess the damage, and estimate the possible repair time, and if both cruisers can be repaired quickly, we will evacuate together; If you need to delay too long, give up and evacuate the rest of the emperor's surrender personnel to the Agulis and blow up the Furster......."
"Don't blow up both enemy ships?" Schneier asked, confused.
"No, just leave them a temporary shelter, the Empire's rescue operations are sometimes not so timely, but before evacuating, the engine, shield, and weapon systems of the Agulis must be destroyed, and even if the Empire gets this ship back, at least it will not be usable for a long time." "I wish I could at least take the Furster," said the girl, "but if not, that's the only way to go." ”
"Understood, sir."
Led by Captain Turner, the leader of the eight allied assault ships Storm Commando, divided into two teams, and slowly approached the two surrendered Imperial cruisers under the cover of lightning fighters, the Agulis was still slowly rotating, and the black smoke and flames that kept coming out could be seen in several damages on the hull, and it was much easier to approach the Furster, the commandos drove their assault ships directly into the hangar of this cruiser, the whole occupation process did not take too long, the crew of the Imperial cruiser was very cooperative, People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
The results of the damage assessment were not long in coming, and the damage to the Agulis was so bad, even if it was repaired in an emergency, it would take at least ten hours or more for it to barely recover to the point where it could keep up with the fleet, which was obviously unacceptable. The Furster, on the other hand, was slightly damaged, and it is estimated that it will only take two or three hours at most to repair and fully control the ship.
The plan was quickly decided, abandoning and destroying the Agulis and making every effort to repair the Furster.
The number of imperial officers and soldiers who wished to join the rebel alliance was only a very small minority, and most of them were still hesitant to join the alliance, and now they did not have time to patiently explain and persuade them, and those who were unwilling were not reluctant, and the assault ship and the ambulance support ship shuttled back and forth between the two cruisers, transferring them all to the Agulis, although it was crowded. But in any case, it is much better than the harsh and severe environment thrown into space, and the officers and soldiers who are willing to join the Alliance Emperor**, except for the starfighter pilots who were sent directly to the Archangel, the others were transferred to Frost
Under the supervision of the commandos, together with the engineers and technicians sent by the fleet, the cruiser Frost was temporarily repaired.
On the bridge of the cruiser Furster, seven or eight Storm Commandos were armed with energy beam rifles. Bored standing or sitting. supervised several emperor ** people who worked honestly on the bridge. Their captain, on the other hand, sat comfortably on the captain's chair with his legs crossed, and for him, there would not be too many opportunities to impersonate himself in this chair and get the captain addicted.
"I see. Captain Turner. Come and take a look at this, the cruiser Furster is a bad luck. A Terramine commando in a white combat uniform greeted his captain, a captain officer in his thirties.
"Why do you say that?" The captain got up from the captain's seat and walked over to the commando, he hadn't intended to care about the matter, anyway, it had become an allied ship now, but it always sat like this. It's just so boring. He also wanted to find something to do or something interesting to hear.
"You see, according to the ship's records. The Forster was not originally a fortress escort ship, its mission was to transport a batch of important maintenance components to the Pearl Harbor base, just because the destination was the same, they were all going to the Pearl Harbor base, and the second half of the route overlapped, so for the sake of safety, they joined the formation of the fortress to travel together, just to want to take a ride, and ended up taking themselves in. ”
"Really, it's such a coincidence?" The captain lifted his helmet up with his hand, and said as he looked at it, "In this case, this ship can be regarded as unlucky, with the speed of this ship, it could have passed through this ambush star field before our fleet arrived, even if our fleet can catch up, as long as it does not stay with the fortress, in order not to startle the snake, our beautiful commander may not be able to do anything to it." Well, let me see, what the hell is this ship carrying? What's important that the baby doesn't? ”
"Captain," the young commando couldn't help but laugh, "how can there be such a good thing, it's just a bunch of useless repair parts, well, judging by the words on it, it's used to repair and replace some Trident...... Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. ”
"Wait, what do you say? Repair the Trident? Hearing those sensitive words, Captain Turner was stunned, and his face immediately changed, becoming solemn and serious. Which trident is it? ”
"Uh," the young soldier paused for a moment, "this, I don't know, that's what it says." ”
He looked at his captain's expression and asked cautiously, "Is this important?" Captain. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's heavy, then we'll see what is going on." The captain hurriedly pushed the soldier away, sat down in front of the console, and began to review the relevant data and materials. The idea of attacking the Pearl Harbor base was highly classified, not many people in the entire fleet knew about it, and it was okay for his subordinates not to know or understand the meaning of the Trident, but he knew that he had participated in that meeting as the captain of the Storm Commando, and it needed to be maintained? Does that mean there's something wrong with that main gun? If the main gun Trident at the Pearl Harbor base did go wrong, as he had guessed, it would be an absolutely rare opportunity.
He looked at it carefully for a while and shook his head slightly, "There is no explanation in this, and it is impossible to determine based on these materials alone." ”
"So, do you want to ask the others?"
"That's right, if you want to ask, ask the biggest, the captain of this ship, well, what's it called......"
"Lieutenant Colonel Harwood."
"Yes, it's him, bring him, I have some questions for him."
"However, the lieutenant colonel has already been transferred to the Agulis along with the other Imperial soldiers." The young soldier looked at it and said.
"Let the assault ship bring him back to me, I must ask."
"Understood, Captain." The young soldier couldn't help but ask again, "What the hell is going on?" Isn't it important? ”
"Don't ask, young man, if you shouldn't, but I can tell you, yes, it's really important." The captain slapped his shoulder in high spirits, "If it is confirmed, then you kid will have made a great contribution, hehe, what reward do you want then?" ”
"This ......"
"It's okay, let's be bold and let me know what my subordinates have been thinking lately, hehehe."
"That'..... Well, I'll say, Captain," said the young soldier, squeaked, "can you, can you get us an autographed picture of our captain?" ”
"Poof......" The captain almost fell to the ground, he looked at his soldier in disbelief, as if he were looking at a monster, as if he had seen it for the first time, "you boy, you.... You..... You, you can really think of it, and you actually hit the idea on the head of our captain, not bad, courageous, and promising. ”
"Captain, I know this is a bit excessive? In fact, many brothers have this idea in private, so young, so talented, and so charming, the idol in the hearts of many people on the team is our captain, but ......."
"I see, not too much, not too much, not too much," said the captain repeatedly, "and honestly, if your findings are confirmed, I can guarantee that our beautiful commander will be happy to donate a photograph, but our air captain will inevitably want to.... Hahahahaha. ”
...........
After seeing off Lieutenant Colonel Harwood, Captain Turner, although he did not receive a positive answer, believed that his guess was not far from ten, and he tried to calm down some excitement and excitement in his heart, and solemnly issued the official order.
"Pick me up the Archangel, two-way confidential communication, I'm going to talk to the acting fleet commander."
"Yes, Captain."
He had a strong premonition, and from the moment he issued the order for communication, the prologue began. Wings of the Starry Sky Text One hundred and eighty-one, Prologue
