Chapter Twenty-Six: Sending Troops to Saitan
"Smack!" Tokugawa Masao III crumpled the fold in his hand and slapped it on the conference table.
The hunt failed, and Saori Tokugawa disobeyed the order again, and now even the crown prince Tokugawa Taro, who was sent to an official visit to negotiate, has been kidnapped, and his whereabouts are still unknown!
The bad news that followed made Tokugawa Masao III very angry!
"Your Majesty is angry. The situation is still uncertain, and perhaps the situation is not as bad as we think. The head of internal affairs, Takenaka Hanbei, bowed.
"Enlighten the Emperor!" Huo Ran, a blond-haired young man in the front row of the conference table, stood up and said to Tokugawa Masao III: "The Saitan Federation has repeatedly bullied my Great Viglia Empire! For the sake of the dignity of the royal family of Vilia, please send an edict from my father, I am willing to lead the troops to the crusade! "The man who stood up was none other than Tokugawa Jiro, the second prince of the current Vilia Empire.
At this moment, Tokugawa Jiro was glaring angrily and full of spirit!
"Lao Chen thinks that judging from the current situation, it is still necessary to put on some tough postures on the border between our country and the Saitan Federation. At the same time, we should also preemptively appeal in the universe international to seize the opportunity to speak in public opinion before going to war. "It was the Prime Minister of the Villa Empire, the sixty-seven-year-old Duke Kawaguchi Toshi.
"The Duke is right!" This time standing up from the conference table was Admiral Hideyoshi Inoguchi, Minister of Space and Navy, who bowed to Tokugawa Masao III with his head held high and said, "Your Majesty! The Setan Federation has deceived me so much! Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been kidnapped and disappeared, if I wait for a silent and silent watch, wouldn't I want all the countries of the universe to laugh at me that there is no one in the Great Vilia Empire?! ”
The bold words of the Prime Minister, Duke Kawaguchi Toshi, and the Minister of the Navy, Admiral Hideyoshi Inoguchi, immediately attracted the support of many civil ministers and military generals at the conference table, and everyone petitioned for the dispatch of troops to the Saitan Federation.
Tokugawa Masao III on the throne looked at the ministers of the second prince's faction in front of him and was silent.
At this time, the Takenaka Hanbei, who was standing behind Tokugawa Masao III, suddenly said: "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been conscientious and diligent all these years! Now His Royal Highness has been kidnapped and disappeared in a foreign land, and his life and death are uncertain! If the empire continues to be quiet, it will be ridiculed by the Universal International, and it will definitely humiliate the majesty of the royal family of Vilia. ”
Hearing this, Tokugawa Masao III raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and finally said slowly: "You can continue to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Saitan Federation." With that, Tokugawa Masao III got up and left the conference table and walked towards the dormitory.
In the corridor outside the door of the conference room, Tokugawa Masao III stood up and said to the half-guards of Takenaka behind him: "Why did you help Jiro and them to enter and send troops just now?" ”
Takenaka half-guard bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, now the general trend is on the string, and I have to send it!" If His Majesty does not agree to His Royal Highness's request to enter the army just now, I am afraid that it will attract the dissatisfaction of many people within the royal family, and may even lead to a mutiny! ”
Tokugawa Masao III was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "Let's go! But the Royal Praetorian Guard could not move. ”
"Yes." Takenaka's half-guard bowed in response.
—————————————
At the San Siro International Space Port in Doha, the capital of Basel, a trailer carrying an extended cargo compartment quietly drove into the port gate in the night.
The security guards at the two ports tried to go up to check the trailer's entry documents, but were knocked down by several black shadows from behind with stuffy sticks. Then, the shadows guided the trailer to a halt in front of the landing platform where the Vilia Empire's giant transport ship docked.
After the trailer's roof opened, Saori Tokugawa sat up from the compartment in a skeleton mech, and then stepped into the tail hatch of the giant transport.
"Your Highness, you're finally back!" As soon as Tokugawa Saori parked her mech and opened the hatch of the cockpit, she saw Colonel Harman, the captain of the giant transport ship Montreal, with a large group of Imperial officers, waiting for her in line.
Looking at the only skeleton mech that came back alone, the captain of the ship, Colonel Harman, felt that this was actually a blessing in misfortune. He "snapped" a military salute to Alice, and said humbly: "Your Highness has worked hard! ”
Tokugawa Saori waved his hand and said coldly: "I'm tired, prepare a room for me first." After saying that, he ignored the group of officers who were standing in order, and left on his own.
In the luxurious suite of the giant transport ship Montreal, Saori Tokugawa soaked in the warm bathtub, blowing the bubbles on her hands while thinking wildly.
The hunt for Yurikin unexpectedly failed, and then the crown prince Tokugawa Taro was kidnapped by the conspiracy of the Saitan Federation, and he disobeyed the orders of the attack, only to be completely wiped out and returned with another defeat.
With all this in mind, it is estimated that the Imperial Capital Star is already in a mess now, right? My father didn't know what it would be like to be angry, and if he went back like this, he would definitely be punished heavily! It's a pity that I still didn't catch that damn guerrilla fat man, otherwise if I found Yurigin's secret, I would have more or less been able to explain a little in front of my father.
Saori Tokugawa was letting her thoughts fly, when she suddenly heard Colonel Haman knocking on the bathroom door outside, "Your Highness! We just received a secret message asking us to take off and leave Basel immediately! ”
Tokugawa Saori frowned, she hated it most when someone came to disturb her while she was taking a bath, so she asked coldly, "Who's secret message?" ”
"If you go back to Your Highness, it's from Your Highness Tokugawa Jiro!" Senior Colonel Harman replied from outside the door.
"Oh?" Saori Tokugawa wiped a handful of water droplets from her face and continued to ask, "What else did he say?" ”
"The secret telegram also said that His Royal Highness Tokugawa Jiro has led the mixed fleet of space carriers of the Blood Wolf Legion to the butterfly cluster of the Scorpio constellation, and has successfully joined the second mixed fleet of the Royal Praetorian Guard of Vice Admiral Takeda, and is preparing to launch an attack on the Bass Star of the Saitan Federation!" Senior Colonel Harman continued to answer outside the door.
"What?!" Hearing this, Tokugawa Saori jumped up from the bathtub, grabbed the bathrobe next to him and draped it over his body, and opened the door and snatched the secret telegram report from Colonel Haman's hand.
"Great!" Seeing that the Vilia Empire had finally decided to send troops to the Saitan Federation, Saori Tokugawa's face flushed with excitement. She was originally going to return home in embarrassment with the giant transport ship Montreal, but she changed her mind in an instant.
She's going to stay, she's going to take part in this battle to expand the empire!
"Inform all ships and departments to immediately check the fuel and comprehensive supply, and prepare for immediate liftoff!" With that, Saori Tokugawa turned around and went back to the bathroom.
Half an hour later, on the bridge command platform of the giant transport ship Montreal, Saori Tokugawa had changed into a lieutenant colonel uniform of the Imperial Space Navy, and together with Colonel Harman and others, he was studying the starship map on the giant stereoscopic screen, and the captains of the two destroyers, Major Zachary and Major Demi, who were also on escort duty, were also standing beside them.
"I'm afraid it will be 。。。。。。 to take off directly from the port of San Siro without going through the departure procedures" Colonel Haman looked at Saori Tokugawa hesitantly.
"I'm afraid of what?" Saori Tokugawa looked at Colonel Haman coldly and asked.
"In case the Setan Federation sends troops to intercept it, we may have a lot of losses." Colonel Harman replied quietly.
Saori Tokugawa stared at the giant three-dimensional interstellar map in front of him with a resolute gaze, and said in a deep voice: "My assault fleet is in the airspace less than 300,000 kilometers away from the synchronous orbit of the Basel Star, and it can rush over to meet us within six hours. ”
"But if we don't have the departure clearance procedures, even if we rush through the atmosphere of Basel, we will be intercepted by the fire of the Saitan military in space orbit. Moreover, a giant transport ship like the Montreal has little protection on its own. Major Zachary, the destroyer captain standing next to Colonel Haman, whispered cautiously.
"Then you're all questioning me for going my own way?" Saori Tokugawa snorted coldly.
"The subordinates don't dare!" Colonel Haman and the two destroyer captains hurriedly bowed their heads to Saori Tokugawa.
"The Bloodwolf Legion's carrier fleet is poised to go, and the battle could start at any moment. Once the war starts, we have no chance of escaping from Basel again. So, tonight we have to launch it! Tokugawa Saori turned his head and stared coldly at Colonel Haman in front of him, and said, "Your Excellency, are you right?" ”
Senior Colonel Haman hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Highness! ”
Then Colonel Haman turned to the herald next to him and said, "Order! The Montreal is immediately ready for launch! The destroyers USS Hayden and USS Holm perform escort! In addition, urgently contact the Space Assault Fleet and convey the orders of Her Highness Saori, so that they can set sail to meet us immediately! ”
"Yes!" The herald immediately pounced on the command platform and conveyed the orders of Colonel Haman to the various departments of the three warships.
