Chapter 1336: Wrong person
Witherspoon, 37 years old, lieutenant general, commander of the Starfleet Fleet. He comes from a pretty good family. Although he did not join the Circle of Roses, it was enough to support him to study in the best universities. After graduation, he
After joining the Federation fleet, everything went smoothly, even a little mediocre, until the Battle of the Longitude Line.
What made Witherspoon rise like a comet was the battle at the Leif Jump Point. When this battle broke out, the Longitudinal Line had already broken out for more than half a year. Xu Bingyan had just defeated almost all the famous federal generals and was at the peak of his power. The dynasty fleet only needed to defeat Xu Bingyan.
The flag was raised, and wherever the Union troops went they fled upon hearing the news.
At that time, Witherspoon led a small fleet to station at the jump point. Facing the overwhelming advantage of the Dynasty fleet, it should have retreated under normal circumstances. The vast majority of federal forces did the same. However, to everyone's surprise, Witherspoon
Instead of escaping, Pang launched a brazen counterattack! He led the fleet and jumped directly into the center of the dynasty fleet!
This move was tantamount to suicide, but Witherspoon pointed a gun at the head of the flagship captain, forcing him to complete the jump with no return. The flagship jumped first, and the rest of the fleet exploded instantly, rushing forward one after another.
Jump without flinching!
The space shock caused by the jump instantly shredded less than half of the Dynasty fleet, and two of Witherspoon's fleets were also torn apart when they jumped out of the jump point. Witherspoon was very lucky, the flagship was not seriously damaged, and he immediately attacked
The dynasty fleet launched a suicidal attack, even accelerating directly to sublight speed. Sublight speed is definitely not a combat speed. Once a collision occurs, the party being hit cannot escape at all, and the impacting party will only return to atoms.
In this way, the dynasty fleet, which had suffered heavy losses, had to choose to retreat, making the battle at Lev's Jump Point one of the few highlights in the entire campaign.
After this battle, Witherspoon was promoted to major general.
If it can be said that Witherspoon had a lot of luck in the battle of Lev, then the Battle of Seryue a few months later silenced all doubters. In this battle, Witherspoon led
A powerful fleet with three heavy cruisers as its core, his opponent was one of Xu Bingyan's three famous generals, and the fleet strength also exceeded Witherspoon. In this battle, Witherspoon demonstrated impeccable fleet command skills
With perseverance and perseverance, the two sides launched an extremely brutal head-on duel, exchanging starships one by one. Witherspoon's fleet's losses were so severe that they bit his opponent, which was incredible. By the time the battle reached its peak, the situation was tense.
At a critical moment, he brazenly led his flagship to launch an unrelenting death assault on his opponent's flagship.
As the youngest and most promising of the three famous generals under Xu Bingyan, Du Hu obviously did not want to die together with a madman. So after both sides lost one-third of their fleets, the dynasty fleet chose to retreat.
In this battle, Witherspoon defeated his opponent with inferior forces, and his losses were slightly smaller than that of the Dynasty. He was extremely conspicuous in the silent federal fleet, and no one could say anything. After this battle, Witherspoon was promoted to
Will be upgraded to two levels in just a few months.
The Federation is too big, and famous generals bloom like flowers and wither like stars in the night. Since then, Witherspoon has had ups and downs, and has never fought such a classic battle. But looking at all his battles since then, they can at least be described as watertight, winning
He won everything that should have been won, and did not lose some that should have been lost. In the end, there were some battles that must be lost, and he was defeated without any suspense.
After reading Witherspoon's information, Hathaway's bad impression of him has mostly subsided. Why would such a person, a person who performed much better on the battlefield than most so-called famous generals, come to his office?
Are you still doing such strange things?
Witherspoon acted strangely, but his eyes were cold and he didn't look like a madman.
At this moment, Hathaway received a message from Witherspoon: "Have you seen my information? You may be wondering why I met in this way. The reason is simple, I
I want to leave a deep impression on you, whether it is good or bad; the second reason is to see your reaction. Now we can get acquainted again. I have reserved a seat at Wilson's restaurant so that we can eat together in the evening.
Together, all your questions can be answered, and this meeting may be related to the future of the Jolly Roger."
"Mysterious." Hathaway sneered and threw the message into the trash can.
7pm sharp.
Sitting by the window of Wilson's restaurant, Witherspoon looked at Hathaway across from him and smiled: "You are so beautiful that I have never seen before. And you are dangerous from the inside out. This kind of attraction is simply...
Fatal. If I guess correctly, you may be able to kill me with one move during our meeting in the afternoon."
Hathaway said with a deadpan expression: "I'm not here to listen to your boring stories, but your guess is quite accurate."
Witherspoon shrugged and said, "I have an instinct for danger."
"Is this why you started the fight between Lev and Seryue?" Hathaway asked. Her attitude seemed casual, but in fact she mobilized all her attention to pay attention to Witherspoon's reaction. After returning from the real dream, Hathaway
Wei knew that humans still had countless secrets to discover, and perhaps Witherspoon had similar abilities.
The smile on Witherspoon's face disappeared a little, and he said: "At Lev's Jump Point, my intuition told me that if I stayed, I would lose the battle and I would die. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was so cold that I almost
I couldn't say anything. Maybe I was too scared, so I jumped directly into the center of the dynasty fleet, thinking that I could die faster this way. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to survive. Unexpectedly, a scene
The real reason for the heroic feats boasted by the media is that a coward was scared out of his mind."
Hathaway did not laugh and said: "Whatever the reason, this is indeed a feat."
"The battles that follow are my true level. I win and I lose, and it relies heavily on military strength. Without the superiority in military strength, it will be difficult for me to win. Because I escaped two times, the media is no longer interested in me. My superiors are promoting me.
I'm also stressed."
Hathaway said: "I have read the data of those two battles. You are at an absolute disadvantage. It is amazing to be able to bring the fleet back with a 15% loss."
Witherspoon was not at all proud and said flatly: "Strictly speaking, I just didn't make a mistake. Unfortunately, my opponent didn't make a mistake either, so I retreated."
Hathaway said: "Why did you come to me? Want to find a beautiful woman to listen to you talk about your glorious deeds?"
Witherspoon smiled and said: "I really want to do that, but the war is not over yet, and Xu Bingyan has not gone back to the dynasty. So now is not the time to do this. Xu Bingyan is about to start a new offensive. At this time
Someone needs to give him a head-on blow. The above reminded me of me, and I need to find some reliable partners and warriors, so I found you. Take your pirate flag and follow me to give that bitch Xu Bingyan a hard blow.
How about it?"
