Chapter 422, close your eyes, it's good for a while
ββ¦β¦ Major General Du Shiliang, the formation you led will return to the team and belong to my command. β
Hearing this, Du Shiliang instinctively glanced at Gu Hang.
It shouldn't have been.
He was the captain of the cruiser USS Pegasus Fleet-Concerto and was a rear admiral in the Imperial Navy. Lieutenant General Commander Tilemence was, by all accounts, his undisputed immediate superior.
If he has an order, then he should stand up and accept it without saying a word.
What is Gu Hang doing?
But he watched it anyway.
Tillemans also noticed his gaze, a little annoyed.
However, he didn't say anything to Gu Hangβdefinitely not because he didn't dareβhe continued to stare at Du Shiliang, his voice becoming cold and hardened unconsciously:
"Major General Du, do you have any questions?"
Du Shiliang was helpless.
He could only stand up, say "yes", and sit down again.
A smile was back on Tillemans' face.
That's not his main goal today, it's an appetizer at best.
Now, it's a victory!
Gu Hang did not open his mouth when he clearly received Du Shiliang's distress gaze, which made Tilemence more confident. Perhaps, this Governor Gu is also worried about the laws of the empire, and he does not dare to oppose his proposal that clearly complies with the relevant regulations of the empire.
The encouraged lieutenant general coughed lightly and continued to speak: "Since there is no problem with this matter, let's move on to the second topic." β
"In view of the current war situation and the relatively complex composition of our space forces, I propose that all the ships belonging to the Seven Horse Land be unified and deployed and a unified command system be established to better use this force and fight against the green-skinned orcs, just like Governor Gu organized all star sectors to sign the Seven Horse Entente."
Speaking of this, Tilemins' gaze frequently looked at Gu Hang.
The ships to which the Seven Horses belong, in addition to the Pegasus fleet, are the ships of the Alliance Navy Fleet and the Gu Clan's Firm. Although those planetary governors in other star regions, some small imperial chambers of commerce, and some ships, they are almost negligible because of their small numbers, no large ships, and poor combat power.
This matter is what Gu Hang is most likely to oppose, and has reason to oppose it.
The Alliance Navy is his, and Gu's fleet is also his. He didn't want to, and Tilemence couldn't grab it.
However, he also prepared a series of rhetoric and means for this. After a while, it will be up to Gu Hang to oppose it, and he will come up with the corresponding arguments to gag or run.
"I agree." Gu Hang was the first to speak.
Agreed?
Tilemence was stunned for a moment, and then quite surprised!
That's great!
I thought it would take a lot of words, and it was even likely that I would have to fight and quarrel with Gu Hang to get it done, but it was so easy to solve.
It's a bit unexpected, but it's certainly a good thing!
This Gu Hang is still more concerned about the overall situation.
His gaze at Gu Hang also became much kinder.
It's just that when his gaze occasionally sweeps over Du Shiliang, he still feels slightly cold.
Although Gu Hang knows the general situation, you kid has a big problem. Wait, I'll get you off when I get back.
Certainly not now, though.
You have to sell the Governor Gu a face.
Thinking of this, Tilemence also stood up. A heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Then we have reached a consensus at this point, I believe that with the support of Governor Gu and our concerted efforts, those damn green-skinned aliens will definitely be wiped out!" β
He said these words with the attitude of a master.
But at this time, Gu Hang also stood up.
He also had a smile on his face, but the words he said made Tilemence feel cold to the bone:
"I have one more proposal: I propose that Rear Admiral Elisia and Rear Commander Du Shiliang become the first and second joint commanders of the Seven Horse Fleet. Rear Admiral Elicia was well acquainted with the Pegasus fleet and could assume the duties of the first co-commander; In the past few years, Rear Admiral Du Shiliang has a lot of experience in integrating the Tianma fleet, the alliance escort team, and the Gu merchant fleet, and can well assist General Yelicia in coordinating the joint work of the three parties. β
What about me?
Tilemence didn't ask the stupid question.
He stared at Gu Hang with a gloomy face and said, "I oppose it, this kind of position as a joint commander is unheard of. β
"That's General Tilemens, you're rare and weird." Gu Hang said, "There is a precedent for this, when multiple imperial fleets operate together, there is usually a joint commander who is responsible for the coordinated command of multiple fleets. When the Golden Pass and Silver Pass were fighting against the Green Skin, when the Tianma Fleet acted together with the Yunluo Fleet and the Northern Fleet, wasn't it Admiral Zhang Shaoxun of the Yunluo Fleet who acted as the joint commander? β
"That's when the multi-fleet linkage within the Imperial Navy sequence is needed! Now, the only real Imperial Navy here is the Pegasus fleet! The Imperial Navy has the right to call up ......"
"No, there is no right." Gu Hang said, "I am in charge of the Eastern Theater of the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, and the imperial forces should be under my command and dispatch here, and I said that I want to establish a joint fleet, which is a combined fleet." β
"Where did you come from, what Star Field, Eastern Theater of War?"
"The appointment I have been given, the eastern part of the star field, I have the final say on all matters."
"What about the documents?"
"I can send you to Yunluo."
Speaking of this, Gu Hang was already expressionless.
"You!" Tilemence was furious.
Gu Hang said to send it, then he really dared to send it.
But does he dare to go?
I'm afraid that I just got on the boat and set off, and I was going to 'die in the greenskin attack' just a few steps out, right?
He gritted his teeth, his voice was a little roaring, and he asked Gu Hang, "What do you want to do?" β
"I want to win this war. And you, Vice Admiral Tilemance, under your leadership, the Combined Fleet cannot win. We need a leader who can bring victory. β
"Enough!" Tilemence said, "I'm tired of your insatiable greed, the Pegasus fleet won't fight with you anymore, I'll report to the Star Naval Command, and the Pegasus fleet will leave here and head to the Yunluo Star Field, you can do it yourself!" β
"Let's go!"
He greeted him and was about to leave.
He was angry to a certain extent. However, since you Gu Hang don't talk about lifting the table with a face, let's lift it together and see who is afraid of whom.
With the Pegasus fleet out of the way, you're going to take your head to block the greenskins?
But none of those present followed.
Tilemins, who walked to the door of the conference room, was also aware of the awkward situation at the moment.
He turned around abruptly and questioned Du Shiliang and Yelicia, "Why don't you follow?" Are you trying to divide it? β
Yelicia's face was calm, but Du Shiliang looked a little embarrassed.
He had just wanted to ask Governor Gu's opinion, but he didn't expect the scene to become like this.
Are you going to take a side now?
If you really want him to choose, he will undoubtedly choose Gu Hang.
The reason is simply on the face.
Although Tilemence is a direct superior, he ...... Can the Pegasus fleet leave the Alliance now?
Your naval guns, shells, and energy depend on others to supply you. The Star Field Naval Command you are counting on? People are far away in the sky, separated by the greenskin occupation area of several star districts, can they be close to it?
Turn your face with Gu Hang and stand on the side of Tilemins?
And then the poor and the white let people take the fleet and be a lonely ghost?
Otherwise, without supplies, you have to travel through the Greenskin Occupation Zone and go to Yunluo?
That's unrealistic!
What's more, in addition to those reasons, there is another point that deep down he also agrees with Gu Hang's words:
The most important thing at the moment is to win the war, and this requires a commander who can lead them to victory.
Is this person Gu Hang or Thielemans?
Fools can make a choice.
In the end, Du Shiliang closed his eyes, slit his mouth, and sat in place like a wax figure, not giving Tilemin any response.
"Good, good! You're going to rebel, aren't you? β
Tylemans was furious, and he waved at the other three captains who had been following him.
But they were also embarrassed and did not dare to move.
A brigadier general whispered: "There is no need to make such a situation, everyone sit down and talk about it......"
Their thoughts are actually similar to Du Shiliang's.
Although they hadn't cooperated with Gu Hang for a long time and were not familiar with it, they were all aware of the current situation in the eastern part of the star field and the performance of the previous war.
Emotionally, they are more inclined to Tilemins, and they also feel that as a noble Imperial Navy, with any convoy and armed merchant ships to form a combined fleet, the leader should be himself.
It is for this reason that when Le Mans communicated with them privately beforehand, they also showed their support.
But the support was not enough to be willing to see the two sides turn their faces, let alone to the point of going out with Tilemence and accompanying him to his death.
Of course, they also saw that Tilemins' so-called 'going to Yunluo' was most likely angry talk, but they didn't want to really make the scene too low to come to the stage, so what if they were really forced to go to that step at that time?
I'm going to die.
Not to mention...... The three captains have all received the kindness of the Fofana family to some extent. In other words, there is no one in the Pegasus fleet who has not been supported by Fofana, including Tilemins.
If it's someone else, forget it. Elisia went up to be the co-commander......
It doesn't seem impossible.
Within the fleet, in fact, it has long been tacitly assumed that Yelicia will be the commander of the Pegasus fleet in the future, but sooner or later, when she has accumulated enough qualifications, when should she be promoted. Even Tillemans himself knew he was a transitioner. Of course, he is not at a loss, he has more than ten years of experience as Commander Tianma, and if he is transferred to another place, his position will not be low.
And now, if Elithia goes up, it will also be a little earlier in what must happen in the future.
It doesn't seem impossible.
Looking at their appearance, Tilemence was truly disappointed.
He waved his hand and threatened: "If you don't obey the orders of your direct superiors, you are a rebellion!" I'll report everything you've done and wait for court-martial! β
With that, he pushed the door open and left.
However, as soon as the door was pushed open, and he had not taken two steps forward, he felt two huge shadows envelop his body.
He looked up and saw two giants in scarlet power armor.
Through the helmet, the indifferent gaze fell on him, and the anger in his heart cooled down a lot.
He couldn't help but take two steps back, turned his head, and looked at Gu Hang angrily: "What do you want to do?" Rebellion?! β
"You need to calm down, Commander Tilemuns."
As Gu Hang's words fell, the two immortal bird interstellar soldiers suddenly took two or two steps forward, directly controlling Lieutenant General Tilemins.
He opened his mouth and wanted to scold, but the next moment he was covered by iron gloves firmly covering his mouth and nose, and his breathing was very reluctant, let alone trying to make a sound.
In this way, he was taken away by two immortal birds like a little chicken.
Then, two more immortal birds appeared at the door, politely closed the door of the conference room, and guarded the outside.
Gu Hang nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile on his face at the rest of the people: "It seems that Vice Admiral Tilemence will be able to calm down after a while, agree to the establishment of the combined fleet, and agree to the appointment of the two joint commanders." β
His eyes looked at Yelicia and Du Shiliang, and continued: "I hope we can cooperate sincerely in the future. β
Yelicia smiled and nodded, but Du Shiliang next to her was wiping the sweat from her head: "It must be." β
At this moment, a commodore captain asked, "What about ...... What about Tilemins? β
Gu Hang said gently: "He is the commander of the Tianma appointed by the Imperial Navy Command, and no one will change this. The Pegasus fleet cannot do without him, and he will return to the Pegasus region to oversee the future ship construction work at the Winged Shipyard. This is a very important task, and we can only be reassured if it is entrusted to Lieutenant General Tilemins. β
Hearing this, everyone was really relieved.
Of course, they know that this is equivalent to house arrest in disguise after seizing power.
But this result is indeed relatively acceptable.
As long as you don't kill Tilemence and make things irreparable.
For the time being, you can turn a blind eye to other things, everything is subject to the victory of the war, and other things will be discussed after the victory is won and the Star Command is contacted.
Whether or not to punish Gu Hang is not something that the captains of the ship can decide. Seeing what the Star Domain Navy Command, the Military Affairs Department, and even the Star Domain Government thought of this matter.
β¦β¦
After the military meeting ended, Gu Hang and Yelicia were left in the conference hall.
The business was over, and the rest of the captains quickly left one by one. No one would ask Yelicia why she didn't follow at this point.
Facing Yelicia, Gu Hang showed a real smile: "Long time no see." β
It's been a long time.
Since the fleet converged, the two of them had met in the form of virtual images, although they had spoken many times.
After the battle, we met in person, but it was a banquet, a military meeting, and until now, it was a meeting in private time.
Before, Gu Hang didn't get angry with Yelicia, what exactly did he want to do. However, it seems that there is still a special tacit understanding between the two of them, and everything is so smooth.
Yelicia, who was no longer dignified and showed her true tiredness, also said to Gu Hang from the bottom of her heart at this time: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. β
Seeing her current state, Gu Hang walked behind her thoughtfully.
"Huh?"
"Shhh Gu Hang's hand touched the sides of her forehead, "Close your eyes, it'll be fine for a while." β
