Chapter 2 Amazing Choice

Federal Calendar 4692, Garrent Capital Galaxy Cost, Federal Naval Academy, President's Office

“Report!”

"Come in."

Bai Yu, who heard the response, sorted out his silver-white hair, pushed open the thick wooden door and entered the principal's office. The door of Principal Bradley's office was the only wooden door in the entire Naval Academy, and it was manual. It was said that it was originally a metal automatic door, but the principal ordered it to be demolished on the first day of his tenure. The school workers were wasted several hours before they installed the old-fashioned door hinges on the alloy walls.

"Hello, sir, 4687th Class of Federal Naval Academy, first class graduate, second lieutenant Bai Yu, passed the assessment and was ordered to report to you. Please give instructions." Bai Yu stood attentively by touching his right foot and standing attentively with his left heel. At the same time, he raised his left hand, put his five fingers together and his palms downwards, and pointed his fingertips diagonally towards his eyebrows and saluted.

"Ha, it's our Navy's 'Star of Tomorrow'. I'm still wondering when you will come to me to report your work. Let's sit down." Principal Bradley stood up from the wooden desk of Lanxing's desk, took off the flat glasses that were just for decoration on his face, waved happily to signal Bai Yu to give in, and pointed to a set of genuine leather sofas on one side.

"So, can you have some drinks with me, the old man?" Principal Bradley asked, but he had already taken two cups.

"Thank you, sir." Bai Yu stepped back and sat down. She knew that when she came to the principal's office, both students and officers had to drink some alcohol. This was Principal Bradley's rule. It is said that several instructors had discussed academic topics with the principal, but because the topic was too profound, they stayed for too long. Of course, they drank a lot. Some of the instructors had a poor alcohol tolerance. As a result, they got drunk. After going out, they fell into the corridor at the door of the principal's office. Finally, they were ordered by the principal to be imprisoned for 24 hours and then sent to the Navy Military Court for handling, the reason was that they were "drunk during service hours."

Later, the officer defended in the Naval Court that "It was an alcoholic beverage provided by Principal Bradley, and the officers present were allowed to drink it at that time, and they were drunk only if they were not good at alcohol." Unexpectedly, the head-wrenching Naval Court referee, Confac, conducted a remote referee testimony on the spot.

The principal replied arrogantly: "Damn (Kang), Fake, I am an admiral. Drinking in my office is my freedom (indeed, senior naval officers have the right to drink and smoke in non-combat hours, their own private areas, such as offices, lounges, and inject non-psychedelic drugs. This is also caused by the nature of work in space. Of course, if it affects normal service, it is not allowed.). The Federal President cannot control it, but outside my office, during service hours, naval officers and naval soldiers are prohibited from being drunk. This is the Navy's military rule and must be punished!"

Under the nerve-wrenching convulsions of the referee Confac's mouth, Principal Bradley also said provocatively: "Drinking that little wine makes you feel like a piece of shit, it's simply a shame for the Navy."

Then, he cut off the video communication without hesitation. You should know that the referee Confac's abstinence style is famous for never drinking any irritating drinks or even Coofei. In the end, the referee's face turned pale and covered his heart that was not beating at the rhythm in his chest. He ordered the officer to cancel his three-month vacation, perform 48 hours of extra service every week within three months, and to be demoted to one level of military rank.

Later, less than three days later, Principal Bradley canceled the punishment and restored the officer's rank. He also said in public that the old man Kang's "Fake" had avenged his private revenge and the verdict was too heavy. As for the referee of Kang's "Fake", he was sent directly to the Cronen cabin, and his heart almost broke.

Principal Bradley poured two large cups of Kufei mixed with sufficient amount of whiskey on his desk, and then put them on his desk. He then mentioned Bai Yu's resume on the stereo projection: "Let me take a look again, physical training a, psychological test ss, this is not easy, independent task execution ability evaluation ss, yes, outstanding, fleet theory is another double s, tactical cooperation c, hehe...ah, war history c, and also made up for the exam, strategy and legion command s..., very interesting."

The principal took a big sip of the so-called 'drink': "I noticed it since you were in the graduation exam. I did not stick to the battle examples in the textbooks, had no hesitation in the style, nor was I afraid of strong enemies. It is the most difficult assessment task you ask for. Your combat method is extremely novel. You are a very excellent pilot, but sometimes you don't like to obey orders... or hate obey orders."

"Sorry, sir, I don't think unreasonable or stupid orders need to be obeyed. Even with the Cloning technology, I don't think that letting my subordinates execute orders that are obviously sent to death, and there will be no mutiny in the subordinates." Bai Yu immediately remembered the last joint fleet exercise, the student who drew the lottery to the commander and issued various idiotic orders to her team, as well as the bridge of the nose that the student was interrupted by her afterwards, and immediately defended.

"It is a good thing to protect your shortcomings. No good naval officer does not protect your shortcomings. However, orders must be obeyed, and wars always have to sacrifice. I admit that the level of the students in these classes is very awkward, but no officer will accept a pilot who may not obey orders at critical moments, and will not trust a newly graduated pilot without reservation and entrusted command. Therefore, the troops I have chosen for you are very limited. Either go to the Stargate Security Force for a few years, or go to the ghost place you took yesterday to be a reconnaissance ship pilot, where there is always a lack of manpower. Or can you tell me which fleet is willing to accept you? Of course, the Federal Naval Academy always welcomes the best students back to school and become instructors. If you choose this path, I can even immediately promote your captain rank. What about your choice?"

Bai Yu sipped the wine in the wine glass quietly. In fact, she had an idea in her mind. She didn't know if she would get permission or what would happen. After a long time, Bai Yu made up her mind and drank all the drinks in the glass. Under the concern of Principal Bradley, she slowly replied:

"I want to retire."

"Are you sure you haven't drunk too much? Child." Principal Bradley was stunned for a long time, then waved his hands nervously and asked with a somewhat ugly face: "If you admit that you drink too much, I'll pretend I haven't heard of it."

"No, sir, I'm very sober." Bai Yu confirmed that bribing a logistics officer can always get all kinds of alcoholic beverages. Although she has a poor alcohol capacity, she will not fall down so quickly.

"What do you know?" The principal seemed to drink the wine in the glass calmly, but the sound of teeth hitting the glass sounded like he was about to bite the wine glass.

"Sir, according to the Federal Navy e419 agreement, if the students' daily average score is above A+ and pass the S-level test in the graduation exam, they can choose to retire if they have recommended senior officers..."

"No, I'm asking you, do you know what your so-called retirement is?" Principal Bradley interrupted her statement.

"Know that if you meet the above conditions, you can choose to become a 'retired person' after graduation. The 'retired person' must serve the Federal Navy in a private identity for at least 10 years. If the Federation enters a state of war, it will be extended indefinitely. The identity will not be recognized during the mission, and it may even be wanted by the Federation for espionage or treason for the execution of the mission..."

"Enough, who is the one who fucking tells you about these things?" The principal roared open the collar of the coat and roared. Obviously, a newly graduated flight student had no right to know the e419 agreement, and there were few instructors who knew about this agreement, and they were not allowed to discuss the agreement among the students, and Bai Yu was even less allowed to know these.

"Sir, I was raised by a group of 'retired' pilots." Bai Yu replied calmly.

"Roy? Falk..." the principal said without thinking, his tone as if he was asking, and it seemed like something else.

Bai Yu nodded affirmatively.

"Fuck, bastard..." Principal Bradley cursed quite elegantly, and he asked immediately: "You still need a recommended senior officer in service. Which idiot is it?"

"I think... you may be willing," Bai Yu said carefully, then pulled out a poker card with the green "Winged Eagle" mark on the back of the Galente Federal Navy from his pocket, and buckled it on the table. Bradley opened the card with one hand, with only a piece of black underneath, and nothing else. He then pushed the card back to Bai Yu. This card represented one of his promises, but people who hold such cards obviously would not use it in today's situation, and it would be even more impossible to give it to her.

"The last question, do you know the true meaning of the Federal Navy's left-hand salute?" asked Principal Bradley.

"Always hold weapons with your right hand, stay alert and prepare for battle." Bai Yu stood attentively and saluted with his left hand.

"Lieutenant Baiyu, in the name of the Federal Admiral, I approved you to officially retire at 1700 am on April 8, 4692. I will implement the "e419 Agreement" on you. At 1800 am on the same day, I will go to my private hangar to find Instructor Leonard. He will prepare everything for you, above!" Principal Bradley stood attentively and ordered.

"Yes! Sir! Thank you! Sir!" Bai Yu said happily, which means that a new life is about to begin. According to the "retired man" it means: you don't have to put your life in the hands of an idiot's superior.

"Let's have another glass, just treat it as good luck..." The principal poured two fingers of the fire lizard whiskey into two empty cups and put it in front of Bai Yu. Bai Yu looked at the wine in the wine glass and licked the back teeth with his tongue that was beginning to numb. The principal planned to kill someone to silence him?

Kost Galaxy, Federal Naval Academy, Senior Officer's Borough

The Federal Naval Academy is actually a super-large military space station. It is located in the fixed orbit of the ninth planet in the capital of the Cost in the Federal Republic of Garrett. It is far from people. It can be said that it is a large city inside. Many instructors simply moved their homes to the space station. There are even two berths in the space station that can accommodate aircraft carriers or fearless warships. However, the berths are now empty. It is said that the Federation and the Emma Empire Navy in the Domestic Star Domain are tense. The aircraft carrier "Marson Abeth" which was originally docked was ordered to go to deter the enemy.

It is said that more than two hundred years ago, the "Four Years of War" from 4413 to 4416 of the Federal Calendar led to a huge change in the universe. First, the Galente Federation failed to attack the Holy Emma Empire's war, which caused a crazy counterattack in the Emma Empire. The main fleets of both sides suffered heavy casualties. Then the Galente Federal Government incited a large-scale riot in the three slave star fields on the border of the Emma Empire. As a result, the riot became more and more intense. The three slave star fields turned the riot into a military uprising, and successfully broke away from the control of the Emma Empire and established the Mimatal Free Tribe Communism.

At the same time, the Emma Empire had a military coup. The empire that was empty inside experienced a military coup. The empire Emperor Kant was replaced by the empire Queen Sophia. Finally, with the help of the nearly open fire in the Emma Empire, tens of thousands of consortiums and private fleets of the Gadari Galaxy defected with the people of the galaxy. Under the crazy pursuit of the Gadari Federal Government and Navy, the Gadari Economic United Nations was established. The two superpowers, Gadari Federation and the Emma Empire, had not stopped for thousands of years, and the war had evolved into a joint war between four countries. The four countries bordered each other and regional conflicts occurred frequently.

Fortunately, Gardari was born in a federal state and despised the Emma Empire, which had just ended slavery. However, due to the need for economic development and the stability of the situation, he was affiliated with the Emma Empire. During his independence, the Mimatal Republic did not accept the federal "suggestions" from the federal government and merged into the Gallent Federation. Therefore, when the two were frequently political frictions, the army occasionally "frozenly fired". Later, under the pressure of the alliance between Gardari and Emma, ​​they formed a defensive alliance.

Now, the United States of Gardari and the Free Tribal Republic of Mimatal have not yet established a stable foothold and are still in full bloom, so they are unable to fight against the two superpowers Garrent and Emma alone. Garrent's economy has almost collapsed due to the defection of tens of thousands of large consortiums in the Gardari Galaxy. He has not had more than three or five centuries to recover.

As for the Emma Empire, because the slave uprising directly lost three star fields and the extermination of slave riots one after another, Princess Sophia, as the imperial royal family, took the opportunity to directly lead the new nobles and miraculously eliminated Emperor Kant and his six direct royal fleets, declared that she became the ruler of the Holy Emma Empire, and abolished slavery to ease the relationship with the Mimatal Republic. However, because some old nobles supported the descendants of Kant's royal family's intention to restore, the country was also in chaos.

Of course, the above are all said by the Federation, but one thing is true. Within less than 300 years since Queen Sophia ascended the throne, the old nobles exaggeratedly launched more than 10,000 assassins and terrorist attacks against the Queen. Although the assassins did not even find the real bedroom of Her Majesty the Queen, the assassin-catching activities once a week on average also made Queen Sophie feel troubled, and they did not mobilize the imperial fleet that had not yet been completed and the bloated institutions were regaining the territory of the Mimatal Republic, and even attacking the Galente Federation. An unstable peace came quietly, and the four countries were dealing with their own domestic mess and accumulating strength. The Federal Naval Academy where Bai Yu was also relieved, otherwise Bai Yu would not have chosen to "retire the service". He was whipped 10 times by the Navy Court and then escorted to the front line by the referee.

Bai Yu did drink too much. Fortunately, she forced herself to the dormitory before falling asleep. After waking up in the afternoon, she came to the principal's hangar wearing a naval pilot uniform with the logo removed. She didn't have much luggage. Apart from washing and backpack, there was only the alloy ammunition box under the bed with various souvenirs. Judging from her face, Instructor Leonard seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Instructor Leonard's rank was the chief sergeant of the Federal Navy. He looked in his 30s, but of course it was just a look. When the Kronotype technology was widely used in the military, almost all pilots, politicians and even wealthy ordinary people were used. Various non-congenital diseases and even disabilities were free of worries, and his age was naturally fixed.

Leonard still had a look of thousands of years of ice, standing next to a Tristan-class medium frigate with his hands behind his back. In fact, Bai Yu had long known what this instructor, who was good at fighting to the battleship driving, looked like under his appearance. He liked to hold a bottle of homemade spirits to tell the old students about the war stories in the "Four Years of War". Although when he participated in the battle, the battle was almost over, he would also discuss the fighting skills of the pilots of the Emma Empire. Of course, he would also beat those "proud and over-hot" recruits. Bai Yu was once one of them, and he was the one who was the most ruthless.

"Hello, sir!" Bai Yu put down his luggage and stood attentively saluting.

"No gift." Leonard didn't like to talk too much: "This 'Tristan' is yours, including the things inside, let's go."

"Thank you, instructor, then... I'm leaving. Stand at attention and salute!" Bai Yu saluted again.

"Salute! Don't embarrass the principal and me after going out! Now! Get out!" Instructor Leonard shouted deafeningly after returning the gift.

"Yes." Bai Yu picked up his luggage and quickly boarded the brand new Tristan-class frigate.
