It was a battlefield that had long since calmed down.
The wreckage of more than a dozen sunk battleships, hidden behind the orbit of Planet 4 of the 354 System, was captured by the magnetic field composed of the three satellites of the large terrestrial planet, and was scattered on this isolated island of the planet.
At first glance, it looks like a tomb composed of a pile of corpses of battleships.
The Maverick even found two heavy cruisers inside.
Needless to say, in this vast Dawn Star Territory, the only thing that can threaten the Empire's medium-sized combat ships is Yang Xiyi's fleet.
However, although the scene was a clear victory, the community was not destroyed at all costs. The Lone Ranger immediately discovered that the wreckage at the scene also included its own Kagero-class destroyers and Ranger-class destroyers.
One cruiser each.
Judging from the bullet marks and energy residue on the wreckage, the battle should have occurred about three days ago.
However, as a group that has mastered hide-and-seek skills, Yang Xiyi's fleet moved very quickly, leaving almost no gravitational residue left by the main fleet's jump away.
"Another piece of good news, and another piece of bad news." Yu Lian pondered in a low voice.
The good news is that Yang Xiyi's fleet should be in good condition. They still maintain enough combat power and fighting spirit to destroy an entire imperial patrol fleet in a short period of time and then leave immediately.
The bad news is that they lost two more battleships after all. Playing hide-and-seek with the Empire is, after all, an extreme technical job of dancing on a tightrope, and there is no way to replace the lost ships and personnel.
Then Xiaobai said: "The Lone Ranger also reported that during their operations along the way, they have relit no less than twenty gravitational wave beacons, which is enough to build a temporary communication network. If everything goes well
, maybe we can reconnect with our other units in the Dawn Star Territory."
Rozes suddenly felt that the situation was optimistic: "We should be able to hold on longer this time. During the Battle of Conviction, we were allies with the Empire and shared the same gravitational wave communication network. After the Battle of Miracle Ring, we lost control of the universe.
If the other side uses communication suppression methods, they can drive us out. Now that this communication network is set up, they will need physical means."
However, physical methods are easier said than done. After all, the beacon tower of gravitational waves is the size of a 10-ton truck. It is not like finding a needle in a haystack in the universe, but it is clearly like finding particles in a haystack. Even if the Imperial Army captured the active
It still takes a lot of time to find the location of the gravitational wave signal.
Yu Lian praised loudly: "All the crew members of the Lone Ranger are worthy of a Blue Star Medal of Freedom."
"You yourself only have one Blue Star Medal of Freedom." Xiaobai was indeed moved, but he couldn't help but remind him.
That is the Blue Star Community's highest medal of merit, and even President Nishita cannot get it. Only the ancestors of the Bai family who discovered New China had one.
"Actually, he already has two. After President Nishita returned to Earth, he heard that we had killed a Void Realm lord in Sede, so he sent another one. This was just sent to the commander by Earth.
The latest news from the ministry." Luo Zeshi said.
Yu Lian said that this was the first time he heard about this, and then showed a headache expression: "...Will Vice President Hierro come here to award awards again?"
"That's not the case. The president has returned to his post. How can the vice president not be on Earth? I heard that the guest this time is Minister Perne of the Ministry of Orbital City Development. He is also the old leader of the National Defense Committee. This sense of ceremony is enough.
That’s it.” Ross said.
"The Ministry of Rail City Development? Phew, what a fat job!"
Yu Lian immediately pulled out a leftover character image from a certain ravine in the cerebral cortex. It was the image of a middle-aged greasy male uncle with a big belly, a slick philistine, and a typical image of a senior old bureaucrat.
Three years ago, he was the personnel director of the National Defense Commission and announced that Yu Lian was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Two years ago, he had become the vice chairman of the National Defense Commission and personally visited the New World to announce that Yu Lian had become a major general.
And now, as President Nikita's best friend, he has also become the Minister of Urban Development, which is considered a big vacancy in the government cabinet.
In any case, although this chubby old bureaucrat fits everyone's stereotype, at least his previous meetings with Yu Lian brought good things.
Based on this calculation, the two of them can be regarded as fair-weather friends who can sit down, drink a glass of wine, and have sex.
So, this is really fate, it’s so wonderful! Yu Liandao.
Then again, Minister Perny is President Niceta's confidant, and perhaps we can get some information from him.
Okay, let’s go back to the Lone Ranger.
After Captain Bai set up the gravitational wave beacon, he briefly searched the battlefield, collected some available supplies and ship materials, and after confirming that there were no survivors, he quickly left. This is January 14th, standard time
It's 10:18, almost 20 hours ago.
As for the direction of travel, because I was really unsure about the movements of Yang Xiyi's fleet, I simply headed in the direction of the Ring of Miracles. What stood out was a brave and decisive move!
Colonel Bai Chengyu then said on behalf of the entire crew: They will continue to move forward. Even if they fail to find Yang Xiyi's fleet, they will definitely go to the Ring of Miracles to have a wave. As an explorer, he can even connect with the greatest enlightenment in the universe.
Since I have never seen the creation in person, I will not be qualified to see the founder Zheng He in the future.
By the way, people on earth regard Zheng He as the ancestor of explorers. This is probably because in this timeline, in the first year after the old man Sanbao Eunuch died of illness, the expedition ships of the Empire and the Alliance started to assemble.
They appear as the brightest stars in the night sky of the earth, and thus they have a mysterious sense of destiny.
As for Lieutenant Lehman Pirie, he solemnly stated that of course the mission of the Lone Ranger will continue. However, the headquarters should rest assured that even if they are discovered by the Imperial Army, even if they are forced into a desperate situation, they will never expose the Stargate.
existing.
The young man's tone was extremely firm and persistent, but not arrogant. He was full of fearless spirit. Just by hearing his voice, he sounded like a master who could enforce battlefield discipline without hesitation.
...After all, he has already implemented battlefield discipline once. Everything is done without him and only with familiarity.
This kind of combination sounds particularly reliable, and can even be called perfect.
"The next call may take longer," Mr. Qi asked.
"If there is any urgent military information, we will get the reward in advance. Again, it is either better news or the worst news." Yu Liandao.
The good news is that the Lone Ranger has naturally contacted Yang Xiyi's fleet, and the bad news is that they have been bitten by the imperial fleet. Naturally, everyone can understand what Yu Lian means.
And when that time comes, the situation will be like what young Lieutenant Pirie said. The Lone Ranger will definitely choose to kill all its members in battle, but it will never let the empire discover the existence of the Star Gate.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little heavy.
Then, I heard Professor Zinov take a sip of vodka and said coolly: "I would rather they be more relaxed and send more inspection reports. When gravitational wave communication passes through the star gate, it can also cause the star gate's gravitational tide.
Changes, if I can collect more data, maybe I can find the rules of star gate stability faster. We now have a unique star gate, and we should produce results that surpass other countries in the space field. "
He presented the image of a cold-blooded scientist who was obsessed with his own research field and didn't care about the current changes in the world. However, because of this, everyone suddenly discovered that so far, it seemed that there was good news.
If you worry about gains and losses here, it will seem too hopeless.
Therefore, Mr. Qi also showed a relaxed smile: "Now that we are done, let's have hot pot first. The delicious tomato fruit from Penglai can form a unique soup, which will definitely become the specialty of Tianshu. Everyone
We have to taste it. We can all eat and chat about the fate of New China, the fate of the Dawn Nebula, as well as the subsequent course of the war, and whether the Yang Fleet and the Lone Ranger can successfully contact each other."
Yu Lian always felt that his lines had been robbed, and for a moment he felt a little empty.
However, there is a saying that using a certain red wild fruit that is a specialty of the Penglai planet and the large bones of a certain kind of sea fish, the soup can indeed have a unique flavor, with both freshness and mellowness. Although it is not Yulian
My favorite spicy taste, but this aroma that matches the vigorous vitality is still refreshing, no... refreshing to the stomach.
But now, even though the soup base has not yet been boiled, Yu Lian can already feel the huge resonance between the thick soup and the ingredients. The army of delicious food is eagerly preparing to gallop on the battlefield of the soup pot!
However, the soup base was indeed not boiled yet. Bai Ziya appeared again with a loud smile, looking at Yu Lian with a guilty look in his eyes. He hesitated to speak, and hesitated to speak. His whole body looked like a bird that had just given birth.
The crabs in the steamer looked more struggling than the king crab bundled on the plate next to them.
"You guys can't hide things. Seeing this entangled face makes me lose my appetite." Yu Lian said angrily: "But there is a report coming?"
Xiaobai lowered his head and apologized sincerely: "Yes, I'm sorry...but, general, we did receive the signal from behind the star gate."
"Oh, but the Lone Wanderer?" Yu Lian was still staring at the freshly cut beef slices next to him that exuded a marble pattern.
"This is another place... it should be considered military affairs. I think you should come and listen."
Yu Lian looked at the dazzling array of plates and sighed heavily, feeling that before these armies of delicious ingredients entered the battlefield of the soup pot and conveyed their honor and heroism to their taste buds, they were suddenly attacked and bombed.
This is really a tragic battle in the catering industry!
"Since it is a military matter, we will not participate. Don't worry, I can wait for you." Mr. Qi said with a smile, watching the bubbles jumping on the soup pot, and then poured in a large plate of cut and marinated pheasant pieces.
In the soup pot.
"Such a pot should be paired with the most delicious Red Whale Vodka. Hahahaha, all delicacies should be paired with Red Whale Vodka." Professor Zinov laughed and took out a new wine bottle like a magic trick.
Fill it up first for Mr. Qi.
Well, these two were not professional soldiers after all, and were used to being unorganized and undisciplined, so Yu Lian decided not to get along with them.
He took the staff and others back to the headquarters of Tianshu Laboratory. Before he could sit down, he signaled Xiaobai to start reporting.
"This is the signal we just received. You'd better take a look at it yourself first," Bai Ziya said.
Well, this kid is indeed a typical technician. If he were an experienced adjutant like Luo Zeshi or any staff officer, he would definitely explain it in a concise and concise way.
On the one hand, this has a sense of ceremony and highlights the commander's grade. On the other hand, it allows the commander to start thinking in advance and discover some details in advance when listening to the radio.
Well, for a genius like Xiaobai, if he was given a military position that required him to do things in a strict manner, it might even constrain him.
However, since the child said "take a look", it means that it is not a broadcast, but a video?
Yu Lian was thinking, and then he saw the window that jumped out and the face shaking inside.
The image was naturally blurry, and there were even obvious frame drops, which immediately reminded Yu Lian of the era of dial-up wired Internet access in his previous life on Earth, which made him feel a little sad for a while.
Of course, even in such a muddled video, Yu Lian could clearly recognize that the face belonged to Colonel Simon Vayali, whom he had not seen for a long time. The last time he and his old comrade-in-arms met was just now.
It's time to end the Condemnation War. After the war with the Empire broke out, even the occasional communication was cut off.
"Audio test, this is Yaochi. Report to the whole universe that this is Yaochi, and we are still fighting." Simon spoke.
Yes. Of course Yu Lian knew that Simon Vayali and another friend, Meng Jiao, took the 38th Division and 200,000 liberated citizens to the Yaochi, and were playing the role of
The role of the Imperial Army's nightmare.
...Well, it would not be wrong to call it a nightmare. For the Holy Galaxy Empire, no matter how the Yaochi Battle develops, it will not actually affect the overall situation. At most, it will be a hives in the New World War.
However, this is enough. Simon and his comrades have overfulfilled the task. In a sense, the degree of overfulfillment is not even worse than that of Teacher Yang.
To be honest, this guy gave Yu Lian the biggest surprise since the war started.
No one knows better than myself how much light Yang Xiyi, senior Eleanor, Ina, and other friends from the 830 Party have blossomed in another timeline.
But in this life, because of their wise leadership and sincere teachings, they grew up ahead of schedule and had their own team and army ahead of time. The achievements they made now were not too unexpected.
It is even said that even that guy Meng Jiao is at least a fierce general who is brave enough to kill the generals and seize the flag.
Only Simon Wayali, a small-town kid whose family ran a soy sauce workshop, was unknown in his previous life. Therefore, his growth always brought Yu Lian the greatest surprise and sense of accomplishment.
Of course Yu Lian knew that Brigadier General Schiller of the 38th Division was actually a mascot in charge of military affairs, while General Baron, the mayor of Golla, Marshal Li, was actually responsible for civil affairs and training on a certain scale. As for the fierce general Meng Jiao
Brother...well, I will probably become a more powerful warrior in this life than in the previous life.
Therefore, the person who is really responsible for commanding the entire Yaochi defense is actually Simon.
Now, after not seeing each other for a while, it can be seen that this guy has indeed gone through a lot of vicissitudes. It seems that he has been baptized and tortured by time. However, his temperament seems more calm, and his eyes become more condensed and sharp. Although it is very
The video was blurry, but Yu Lian really felt this feeling.
