The Phantom who went to Scout the location of the space jump point has returned.

Although it took a little longer than expected, but finally got the result, Zhang Xiaojing didn't wait for the phantom to land, he directly started the two-way data transmission, and sent the relevant data such as the route, space coordinates, and the nearby space environment detected back to the Archangel space carrier, and the Archangel directly transmitted these important information to the on-board computers of several reconnaissance lightning on standby, and now, it was time for them to set off.

"This is Tulip One, are you ready? Everyone. Risen put on his combat helmet, and the transparent canopy slowly fell above his head, with a soft clatter, completely cutting him off from the noisy hangar, and the cabin climate control system automatically activated, and he could hear his own slight breathing.

"Angel Number reports that all systems are working properly and ready to go." Despite knowing the dangers of this trip, Sonia's voice was still flat and calm.

Jessica, Louie, Roskil, and the other pilots on the mission then answered his orders one by one, "Ready......

Amid the roar of the ion engines, the reconnaissance planes followed the signals of the ground crew guides and slowly moved towards the take-off channel, and the pilots who did not participate in this mission rarely stood on the edge of the hangar en masse, silently watching the departure of their companions.

Yao also stood between them, she left the bridge and came to see them off in person, there were two people she cared about the most, standing beside her was her friend, Zhang Xiaojing, who had just left the landing phantom cockpit, and she hadn't had time to change out of her combat uniform. Just by taking off the helmet, Resson could clearly see the tiredness she was "showing", and the nervous and careful flight for hours on end, even with the help of the autopilot, was not so easy.

He waved his hand lightly and said goodbye to them, and to all the pilots and ground crews who had come to see them off, though he thought they were making a bit of a fuss. It's just just adding pressure to them. It was not before that he had not carried out similar dangerous missions. It was as if he had gone this time and would not come back.

However, if he has successfully returned from a dangerous mission in the past, it does not mean that he will be able to return smoothly from every dangerous mission in the future, and there are too many accidents in the war, like that time when he crashed and was affected by the explosion of a torpedo fired by his own fighter, did he imagine this situation before? Or take advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye to ...... now. A thought popped into his head uncontrollably.

Phew, ***,; It's really full.

The reconnaissance plane had already entered the launch channel, and he cleared his throat, "Archangel, this is Tulip One." Request a dispatch. ”

"Understood. Tulip One, you're ready to go, good luck ......"

One by one, reconnaissance planes left the space carrier. As soon as all the fighters left the mothership, they immediately flew in different directions, instead of flying directly to the space jump point, and then they went through several different course turns, and the last section will fly directly to the space jump point, which has two purposes, one is to use this opportunity to fly around the aircraft, using the three remote sensor pods mounted under the belly of the reconnaissance lightning plane, to conduct extensive reconnaissance of the galaxy, especially the star field near the space jump point, In order to discover a possible potential ambush of the Imperial army, although they had searched carefully and cautiously before, it was not too much to come a few more times at this critical moment; The second purpose is to "confuse" and "confuse" the Empire, even if the reconnaissance plane is discovered by the Imperial Army, it is impossible for them to push out the current hidden position of the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet from the course of the reconnaissance.

According to the flight plan, he went to the space jump point with the shortest route, if everything went well, nothing abnormal happened, Risen piloted his reconnaissance plane, will be the first to arrive at the space jump point, so, he is not alone in the flight, his reconnaissance lightning also carried an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to follow him to act, once the position is reached, this unmanned reconnaissance aircraft will be the first to cross the space jump point, and the first time to transmit the space jump point to the ground situation, for Risen to take the next move for reference.

It's a pity that the role and ability of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are very limited, Risen thought regretfully, otherwise, wouldn't it be much easier to stay far away in another galaxy and conduct reconnaissance by remote command?

But at present, this is just his imagination, the intelligence of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is really limited, after passing through the space jump point, the next step is not to know which direction to fly, human beings can make a decision based on a comprehensive analysis of the situation near the space jump point, the intelligence of the UAV is obviously not up to this range

It's not a good idea to plan the flight direction first, and you don't even know the space jump point, so how can you arrange it in advance? Although today's technology can allow cross-galaxy command, it is subject to too many restrictions and interference, and the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is too fragile, limited by a small body, which determines its ion engine power, low endurance, not fast, poor maneuverability, neither shield protection, nor weapon system, encountering enemy aircraft interception is basically a dead word, and even automatic laser "shooting" battery, only one accurate hit artillery fire can destroy it, therefore, manned reconnaissance aircraft is still indispensable, after all, its flexibility "Sex" and "Combat Bomb" are incomparable with unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at present.

The zigzag route to the space jump point did not find anything, and the other team members also reported that everything was normal, and after seven circles and eight turns, his reconnaissance plane approached the space jump point in all this calm atmosphere.

"This is Tulip One, inform the planes that I have arrived at the space jump point, and everything is working ...... at the moment," he turned on the communication.

"Be careful, Risson, I'm right behind you." The screen flashed, Sonia's avatar appeared in his cockpit, according to the flight plan, she followed closely behind Ressen, the second to arrive at the space jump point, the distance at the moment is not far, the current position is less than ten minutes in the other direction of the space jump point, Risen can already see the small green "color" bright spot representing her on the remote sensor screen of the reconnaissance plane - she is speeding up.

"I know, if there's trouble, I'm counting on you to pull me out." He replied reassuringly.

"Of course, in the end, there was no trouble." He muttered, "That seems impossible, though. ”

He pressed the button to release the unmanned reconnaissance plane, and the little thing appeared in front of his reconnaissance plane leisurely, flying straight towards the hazy energy cloud in front of him......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Bang Bang ......

Warm applause was passed through the central control room, and everyone applauded and watched with joy as they watched the results on the big screen in front of them.

"Congratulations, my general, for a very good job, that you did not disappoint me and the Führer." Giraud. Admiral Steve smiled.

Despite his complacency, Lieutenant General Corleone managed to maintain a pampered appearance and salute the general.

"The final test and inspection is complete." He reported, "Admiral, all the systems of the base are working properly, and now we are moving to the final step of the plan, please indicate our goals." ”

"Hahahaha...... Don't worry, General, as a great epoch-making achievement, its completion can't just be so-so, without even a ceremony. "Unlike the usual constant urging, the admiral has become very patient at this time.

"This ...... Rite? The lieutenant general was stunned, as the commander of the base, he only knew that he was trembling and concerned about this plan, but he had never heard of any ceremony, he looked at the others, not only the base officers, but even Admiral Steve's entourage, the expressions on their faces seemed to be unclear.

Faced with everyone's doubts, the admiral smiled, and did not immediately reveal the mystery, but just asked, "Has the sensor found any traces of the rebels?" ”

"No, Admiral." An Imperial officer replied.

"Forget it, then we'll leave them alone for the time being, leave the fleet waiting to clean them up, and let us get out of here." The Admiral picked up his scepter and pointed to the star map on the screen above, "Set your course to the New London system." ”

"What...... What? "Everyone could barely believe their ears, they thought they had heard it wrong.

"Admiral, are you talking about the New London system? But there are no rebels there. Lieutenant General Corleone stammered, mutiny? He vaguely thought of the word.

"We went to New London, of course, not for the rebels, but for the Führer." The admiral said leisurely.

"Führer?"

The head of the Empire, Steve III, Giraud. Cousin of Admiral Steve.

"Of course, His Excellency the Führer would like to witness this historic moment with his own eyes, when he will personally preside over the ceremony at the base and personally present the certificate that the base can be operated." "For the Galactic Empire, for the Führer!" Everyone yelled loudly.
