The sailors of the task force are naturally elite sailors drawn from major fleets. Even the most junior ones are graduate representatives who have just obtained excellent results from the maritime college. The officers are divided into two very distinct groups.
The elite bureaucrats who graduated from military academies include many members of aristocratic families whose backgrounds are not considered humane by outsiders; as well as the pillars of the army composed of experienced technical officers and veteran sailors.
The latter certainly has an absolute numerical advantage and voice in the fleet. From this point of view, although the Gongun princes of the earth often do not do human things, there is still room for salvage in the spiritual structure.
What’s interesting is that although Mo Geguo is a moon man and an elite bureaucrat among elite bureaucrats, he is always regarded as one of the non-bureaucrats by the non-bureaucrats.
This only shows that psychics with meritorious deeds are privileged in terms of treatment and popularity.
Then, in the senior officer's dining room on the Fuxi, Lieutenant General Yu Lian and Admiral Ferragut, who were sitting at the same table, were drinking tea and chatting. They talked about earth-related personnel gossip and fanciful political issues, and occasionally
It involves the peace of this generation and the future prospects of the Dawn Star Territory.
Neither of them started talking about the previous alarm issue, as if whoever spoke first would lose.
Of course, Admiral Ferragut is a seventy-year-old veteran after all, and he is still much more mature and stable than a certain divinely chosen champion who became famous at a young age. So, after the two of them finally drank a can of black tea, the cook
The veteran who was born said that he has bought a lot of stocks in pioneering companies. As long as he waits for these promotions, he can live a wealthy and free old age.
"So, since we have done so much cooperation with the empire, I personally feel that the possibility of war is very small. As long as the empire is willing to ensure restraint, the things on the far shore are just trivial matters. When we wait
When God returns, cats and birds will have no choice but to flee."
"Your Majesty hopes so too. However, everyone on board the Fuxi has just come off the battlefield and is a little nervous. Moreover, as you know, terrorist organizations do not follow martial ethics and may be attacked at any time."
Admiral Ferragut waved his hand indifferently, but still showed my kind and humble smile on his face: "I understand, I understand. Brother Yu Lian, I am not blaming you. We have already said it.
Many times, vigilance is the first priority for safety. However, by the time we pass through the Nadotu galaxy, we have entered the second half of the 'Great High Seas' channel. We are surrounded by friendly countries, and the distance to the south is
The closer to the Heavenly Gate, the safer it actually is."
"Yes. Therefore, maintaining the training habits of the fleet and showing the appearance of Earth's soldiers will definitely make these countries more friendly. If this friendship needs quotation marks, then try to make the quotation marks disappear. Your Excellency, Commander, let's start with
The planned route back home is to take New Atlantis, isn’t that what you mean?”
Yes. The earliest route of the task force is to take the Spiral Nebula Channel and "go south", passing through the Baranya Corridor between the Fermor Star Territory and the Silver Light Federation, and then it can connect to the Cirke Kingdom, and then proceed.
We can reach the New Atlantis sector of the Community. The whole journey is almost 7,800 light-years nautical miles. The task force can theoretically complete the journey without supplies.
Taking this route, you have to pass through the border of the Circassian Kingdom for part of the voyage. However, although this country cannot be regarded as a friendly country of the Blue Star Community, they have suffered a lot from the empire in the past few years. If
From the perspective that the enemy of the enemy is always a friend, the Snapping Turtles may be more reliable than the Alliance.
This is a safe and calm route, and on the way back home, it can also shock the warlords of the Feimo Nebula who have not yet established a country, as well as the vassal states of the empire such as Hyal and Angmans.
However, under the circumstances of military pressure in the Far Coast Sector and Nantianmen, this path will of course become unfeasible.
Of course, what's the saying? By the way, huge artificial metal creations are the favorite toys of adults. It's hard to get a big toy like a dreadnought now. If you don't show it off, it will be hard to understand.
Flat. This is a disease that belongs to adults.
Generally speaking, the more high-ranking a person is, the more serious his illness will be.
If we can't show off in front of the Hyar Turtles and Angmans Monkeys, then we should show off the Community's majestic warships in front of neutral countries like the "Great High Sea Channel".
"No matter which path we take, in the final analysis we must shoulder certain responsibilities of naval gun diplomacy." Yu Liandao: "This is also the high expectation of the President and the National Defense Commission for you!"
As soon as he said this, the other party fell into a brief thought.
Yu Lian felt that the other party must be tempted, so he added with a smile: "Of course, our daily combat readiness, deterrence and combat readiness training are all conducted under your leadership. You can definitely ask Captain Tovey and Chief of Staff
Confirm this. As for me, I am just an ordinary secretary of the Presidential Palace returning home with the ship, and I will definitely write all this in the report."
Admiral Ferragut nodded with understanding: "That's it. Brother Yu Lian, although you are young, you are also a man of good human nature! Compared with you, at this age, I feel like I have lived in the belly of a dog.
went."
He pondered again: "Speaking of which, I used to be an excellent chef. I entertained many distinguished guests from various countries and accumulated a lot of contacts. Speaking of which, this time we will pass by Turank's Coordinating Minister State.
Their Marshal Tan Bo is an old friend of mine. So, based on this consideration, the Earth side thinks that I can take on this task, right? Well, this is the only explanation."
Yu Lian thought to himself that with your level of self-satisfied thinking, you must be qualified to be the president.
"Speaking of which, when we divert to the G55 route, we will take the shortcut through Hanwangxingxia, right? The Coordinating Minister Council will guide us? Their people will be scheduled to board the ship, right?"
Yu Lian nodded: "This was planned from the beginning. When we pass through the Nadotu system, the pilots from the Turank Coordinating Minister State will come over to meet us."
The so-called "Hanwang Xingxia" is a channel in the "Azure Sky and Sea" star field. We all know that most of the stars and channels in this star field are "high seas", but after all, some of them belong to the surrounding area due to their geographical location.
The territories of various countries. This "Hanwangxing Gorge" is one of them.
Compared with the channel composed of a stable group of mature stars, there are old stars in the collapse period at the transition node of the "Han King" star canyon. Relatively speaking, the gravity well channel is relatively narrow and not particularly stable.
Of course, the so-called "narrow" and "unstable" are also relative concepts. Compared with the Abyss Nebula and the Spiral Star, this route can already be regarded as the avenue to the sky.
If you take the "Hanwang Star Gorge", it will take 5 to 7 days faster than taking the public waterway. However, the waterway information is basically in the hands of the Coordinating Minister of Turan, and you need to pay a fee when passing through.
There is a toll and pilot service fee.
This country is the most powerful country around the "Great Sea Star Territory". It has a small territory and a small population, but it has a long history and a high level of science and technology, especially in the use of high-energy particles and mystical cybernetics.
Not a bad achievement.
The Tuhan people, the theme nation of this country, are also a rare immortal race in the galaxy, with an average lifespan about three times that of humans. They are tall and slender, with insufficient limb strength but good adaptability to the environment, and
He also has good psychic affinity, and is especially good at control of mental techniques.
Generally speaking, this is a regional power that can rank among the top three in the Galactic Civilization Council. However, perhaps because this clan is generally vegetarian, it has no ambition to unify the surrounding star fields, so it only accepts some dissimilar clans.
Counting too many tolls, I can barely live a happy life.
Of course it is the same this time. The Tuhan people of the Coordinating Minister's Country are indeed a Buddhist nation. Anyway, although the "Hanwang Star Gorge" is an important transportation thoroughfare in the entire star field, it does not lead to the hinterland of the country, so they are happy to offer it to the whole country.
Galaxy Sharing.
As long as the tolls are enough, they don't mind letting other countries' military fleets pass through the Xingxia, and they don't even mind piloting it.
Of course, out of basic diplomatic respect, the gun doors and active attack radar should still be turned off during the passage.
"Okay, I will tell everyone that daily security training must be stepped up, but there must be a degree. We must show our style to neighboring countries, but we must not let them misunderstand. We must master this degree!" Ferragu!
The commander ordered.
How should this so-called "degree" be measured? What is the difference between this and the so-called "colorful black"? Although Yu Lian wanted to say this, he was just an ordinary "supervisor" after all.
Being able to help everyone successfully deceive General Ferragut is already an extraordinary accomplishment.
In short, during the navigation through the Xingxia Gorge, Marshal Tanbo, the defense consul of the coordinating ministerial state, will board the ship to do some diplomatic activities for a military visit. Admiral Ferragut discussed the welcome with Yu Lian with great interest.
Ceremonies, visit activity procedures and the like. Although the latter wanted to say that this was not actually his job, the commander obviously wanted to show off the "fun" and high emotional intelligence of the fleet's top brass, so of course he had no choice but to accompany him.
.
After sending away the proud Admiral Ferragut, Yu Lian returned to the room, but he couldn't rest. He still pulled up the star map of the entire "Great High Sea" and marked his own planned route.
lines, and marked key points in galaxies where danger may occur.
After doing all this, he distributed a copy to Captain Tovey and other old subordinates.
After all, he is no longer the admiral of the fleet, so he cannot give orders casually. Fortunately, the captain of the Fuxi and most of the fleet staff are his own people, so at least they can remind them to pay attention.
However, before he could fall asleep, he heard the doorbell ringing in his room.
After opening the door, they were the chief of staff, Major General Mkawa, and his old classmate, Lieutenant Colonel Rozeshi. Both of them had serious expressions, and Rozeshi had a tablet terminal in his hand.
Yu Lian couldn't help but marveled: "...you all responded so quickly! It only took three minutes for my document to be sent, right?"
Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "I have received your message. Time is limited, so I only read it briefly, but your order is naturally high-level. It will be issued to each ship for execution after returning."
Who said that such a strict and rigid housekeeper-type chief of staff wouldn’t be flattering? Isn’t this position quite high?
"...I'm just an ordinary secretary of the Presidential Palace. I'm just taking a boat back to China this time. Please don't make it sound like I've made the commander intolerable, okay?"
