Chapter 36 Lin Chong's appointment on the front line
In the ground command center, Luo Ping'an sat weakly on the chair, Qihe on the side clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and prayed, with a crystal teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye.
They have already received the news that the Red Banner has been badly damaged. Luo Ping'an's heart sank into the sea in an instant, and the human fleet, which was already at a disadvantage, was even worse this time.
A burst of hurried footsteps came, Lin Chonghuo hurriedly ran into the command center, as soon as he came in, he saw that it was quiet, and felt that the atmosphere was not right, he said cautiously: "Suddenly, the two capital ships of the fifth squadron that have just been put into storage have serious non-combat attrition, one captain died of illness, and the other captain is also seriously ill and bedridden...... The two capital ships have basically lost their combat capability, and it is already a blessing to be able to barely return to the base. ”
Luo Ping'an glanced at Lin Chong expressionlessly, just in time to meet Lin Chong's cautious and tentative gaze.
"Sick?" Luo Ping'an's eyes were covered with cobweb-like bloodshots, he slowly got up, walked in front of Lin Chong and smiled disdainfully.
Lin Chong blinked, raised his head to look directly at Luo Ping'an, and replied very calmly: "Yes, due to illness." ”
Although what he said was categorical, everyone in the command center knew that this was just a decent statement, and perhaps Qihe, who was lowering his head and hiding his pain at this time, could understand it best.
In this short period of one month, the two captains of the capital ships are seriously ill, who believes it? But fortunately, no matter what happened, at least two of the squadron's capital ships were saved.
However, the problem in front of us now is that these two capital ships have lost their combat capability, there are insufficient personnel, the captain is vacant, and they cannot play a role at all. Luo Ping'an became worried and began to pacing back and forth in the command center anxiously.
Because of Lin Chong's words just now, Qihe seemed to evoke the painful memories of the past, and he was still sitting in front of the console with his head down, secretly touching a handful of tears from time to time.
The other officers were silently on duty at their posts, and everyone's mood was very low.
Lin Zhong looked around at everyone and sighed slightly in his heart, he had already guessed that there must be a major defeat on the battlefield, but what was the use of sighing and silence?
"Chief Luo, have you forgotten that we still have two outstanding cadets from the Naval Academy here?" In silence, Lin Zhong puffed up his chest and said with a smile to Luo Ping'an.
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked sideways, and even Qihe raised his head and quietly looked at this high-spirited young man at this time.
Luo Ping'an stopped abruptly and turned to look at Lin Zhong with some surprise. He looked up and down at this young man who had always been very unreliable, when Commander Duan stuffed Lin Chong into the Marine Corps before, he felt that it must be a straw bale who came to mix qualifications, so as soon as Lin Chong came, he gave him a dismount.
But now, he seems to realize that this kid is also from the Naval Academy, so it shouldn't be so bad.
In a suspicious gaze, Lin Chong smiled a little embarrassedly, it seems that he has overdone it, and the character is not grasped.
"Is the war critical? One more ship is better than one less, isn't it? Lin Chong put away his smile and calmly suggested to Luo Ping'an.
Luo Ping'an nodded, indeed, even if he went up to save people, but could he really do it? Just as he was about to doubt the letter, Qin Su walked in breathlessly holding a portable terminal in his arms.
"Chief Luo, the Red Banner is no longer able to retreat, I can't sit idly by and watch our flagship be sunk!" As a carrier-based aircraft pilot of the original task force, Qin Su has his persistence and belief as a navy. He had just come from the hangar and was about to report on the supply of the capital ships of the two squadrons, but he happened to hear Lin Chong's words, so he took over the conversation without hesitation.
Seeing Qin Su standing beside him without hesitation, Lin Zhong's heart warmed, and his eyes waited more firmly for Luo Ping'an's decision.
"Well, what if...... I mean, if you lose, take them if you can...... Forget it, come back alive. Luo Ping'an waved his hand, turned his head sideways, and agreed to Lin Chong's proposal.
"Don't worry, master, I'm ....." Lin Chong's voice did not fall, only a whistling could be heard, although the flying legs were late, they arrived!
"Get out!"
"Okay!"
......
In the hangar, Lin Zhong and Qin Su stood side by side, looking at the squadron's capital ship more than fifty meters long, and the two of them were excited.
"I didn't expect me to have such a chance!" Lin Chong never thought that he would be able to board the squadron's capital ship alone so quickly. He was excited in his heart, but when he thought that when the capital ship in front of him came back, there were less than a third of the people on the whole ship, and the surging blood in his heart quickly calmed down.
"The war is critical, you have to go if you can't do it, you Lin Chong is the most valued student of Teacher Gao, no matter how you say it, you can't embarrass the Naval Academy." Qin Su said as he patted Lin Chong's back heavily, and walked towards the hangar bridge, he was going to lead another capital ship to set off.
"Hey, die a complete death, don't let me not find you!" Lin Chong smiled and looked at Qin Su, who disappeared around the corner, without heart or lungs.
"Then you'll have to ask the Tuckers if they agree!" Qin Su's voice came.
Immediately, both of them burst out laughing, and Lin Chong did not delay any longer and began to board the ship.
As the two entered the battleship, the tower broadcast of the hangar began to sound, the ground crew began to leave, and the door on the top of the hangar slowly opened.
And the first thing Lin Chong saw when he took the elevator into the battleship was a group of listless and haggard naval soldiers. They lined up in a crooked line, looking at Lin Chong, who had just entered the ship, in a trance.
"You're the new captain, huh? How is it a little hairy child? Just as Lin Chong was scanning the crowd, an officer with a cigarette in his mouth swallowed the clouds and spewed out the fog, and squinted at Lin Chong against the bulkhead and said. The expression was full of disdain.
"Deputy Han, it doesn't matter, it's all a death anyway, it doesn't matter if you come to feed." An officer standing on the other side echoed with a smile.
"Hey, I said thank you, staff officer, don't talk nonsense, don't hurry up and tell the brothers to welcome the new captain!" Han Tianhu held the cigarette roll in his mouth between his fingers, and spit something in his mouth as he spoke.
"Ah, yes, yes, hurry, all the fucking spirits, come, welcome to the new captain!" The staff officer named Xie An said in a strange way.
The passage of the covered bridge resounded with sparse applause.
Lin Chong quietly looked at the deputy captain and a staff officer in front of him, and the two sang and harmonized, and they were not angry in their hearts. He noticed that Staff Officer Xie An was wearing only a navy officer's shirt, and there was a crooked stitch on his shoulder.
Han Tianhu's hands holding cigarettes were rough, his skin was scorched, and he was covered with thick calluses.
Under the numb and dull gaze of the crowd, Lin Zhong took a few steps forward and came to stand in front of Han Tianhu.
Han Tianhu glanced at Lin Chong with contempt, ignored it, and still leaned on and smoked.
"Is this the officer of the task force, the flagship is fighting desperately outside the planet, but you are dejected here, as a navy, are you worthy?" Lin Zhong looked at Han Tianhu's eyes and said calmly, not angry at all because of the other party's arrogance and prejudice.
"Humph! The flagships are all overturned, what can we do with this broken ship? It's just a flying coffin. Han Tianhu sneered.
The crowd around nodded and laughed.
"Do you know why you can't be the captain?" Lin Zhong shouted, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Seemingly taken aback by Lin Chong, Han Tianhu stood up straight, glared at Lin Chong angrily, and clenched his hands into fists, as if he wanted to make a move.
Lin Zhong sneered, turned his head to Xie An, a staff officer who was stunned on the side, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you are all garbage and waste from the light battles of the fifth squadron, but unfortunately, I am also a salted fish who eats and waits for death, we are not a family, if we don't enter a family, no one will laugh at anyone, and just watch how I take you to death." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie An's body trembled obviously, he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, he secretly looked at Lin Chong with a suspicious gaze, and secretly said in his heart that this kid would not be mentally ill......
When Han Tianhu heard this, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and muttered in his heart, Damn, this kid is not right.
"In five minutes, everyone is in place, and the spaceship is in the air!" Lin Zhong walked towards the bow of the ship in the surprised eyes of everyone, seemed to remember something again, and threw another sentence: "I forgot to ask, what is the name of this ship?" ”
"Roslor ......," Xie An involuntarily answered. After speaking, he reacted.
"It's not good, I don't like it, I changed my name, Xuanhuang! As I said, it doesn't work if the General Staff comes, name, I've changed it! ”
“......”
“......”
Xie An, who was messy alone, and Han Feihu, who was at a loss, looked at each other.
