Although he said this, Yu Lian's expression was not very surprised.
"...Why do I feel that you are not only not surprised, but even a little gloating?" Admiral Sylvester looked at Yu Lian hesitantly.
"Xiaguan is just too empathetic. If you put yourself in the perspective of the earth and consider things, you will find that it is not an accident if something goes wrong. It would be an accident if everything goes smoothly. Of course, if the senior feels bad about me
If it’s not too solemn, I can just go through the mourning process.” At this point, Yu Lian’s expression turned depressed.
Admiral Sylvester also seemed to be empathetic and nodded: "Yes! It's almost impossible to be happy in life, let alone a war? It's like my son. A good and handsome boy has to go and learn.
What kind of music? Do any serious people learn music?"
He thought about it for three to five seconds, but he still remembered his business and added: "However, this time should be considered good news, right? Our dreadnought has already set sail and is expected to arrive in Said before June.
.We should prepare the crew in advance. The captain and most of the main positions have been directly appointed by the Earth side." The senior said.
Isn’t this good news? Where does “should” come from?
As for the fact that the Earth side bypassed the theater headquarters and directly appointed the captain, although it was a bit suspected of overstepping micro-management, it was not a violation of the rules because this was a personnel matter rather than a specific tactical command.
Then again, it is taboo to report over the top, but to sink over the top is called "airborne".
After all, this is a dreadnought, a huge war creation carrying tens of thousands of people. The captain is often served by a commodore, and the personnel of all generals is originally the purview of the National Defense Committee.
No matter who the captains are or who they belong to, as long as they come to the front line and serve under his command, Yu Lian is confident that he can train them into what they should be.
Yu Lian really didn't understand why the old senior's expression was as exciting as constipation.
"It's the Titan ship from Xin Shuntian. The Natural Crest?" Admiral Sylvester said.
"Is there something wrong with the repair project?" What is Xiao Hui doing? Yu Lian continued to nod with a heavy face. This was actually what he expected, but Yu Lian felt that if that nagging riddle robot appeared now,
I would definitely laugh at him a lot.
This robot said that she was very interested in the Natural Crest, so she temporarily stayed as a shipyard ghost. Considering that this cyber spirit may be able to provide some behind-the-scenes help to everyone's repair work, I
Even nature won't object.
During the more than half a year of renovation work, Yu Lian did hear good news from Zhixia and Aisen. For example, the workers who fell while working at heights were safe and sound, and there was no energy leakage from the broken pipelines or explosions or fires.
I originally thought that I had run out of special parts that I needed to order from the alliance, but I found replacements wrapped in oil paper in the warehouse. The quality rate of parts that could only be rubbed by hand due to lack of special equipment increased by 10% compared to usual, and various other mysterious things.
event.
In short, although the engineers and technicians responsible for the reconstruction project of the Natural Crest will not know the existence of Xiao Hui, they really feel that they are being blessed by the spirit of the universe.
Of course, the ship spirits of the Natural Herald must also be protecting them. This can only show that this Titan should inherently belong to the people of the earth.
In short, thanks to everyone's efforts and a certain robot lady's behind-the-scenes manipulation, more than half of the Nature Crest has become a community. It is said that even the bridge is filled with an audience hall-style command post.
The throne-like gold-rimmed pedestal was removed and replaced with a very ordinary three-story stepped structure.
Yu Lian was full of expectations for this warship that was about to return to active service in the Community, and he was even more excited about what name she would be called.
"...So, Congress has decided to call it the Independence. To commemorate the Independence, the flagship of the Solar System Fleet that sank in the Ring of Miracles." Admiral Sylvester sighed: "This was just three hours ago.
It’s confirmed.”
"I always thought it would be called Marshal Victoria Li," Yu Lianda said.
"Some congressmen said that although naming the father of the nation can boost morale, it also has certain hidden dangers. If it is really called Marshal Li, it will be an ominous sign except for things to happen in the future."
"...The last Independence ship has sunk. Isn't this an ominous sign?"
Admiral Sylvester shrugged and advised: "The naming of capital ships is also the competence of Congress, or in other words, it is one of their most important tasks. We can make suggestions, but we cannot decide."
If you don't decide, don't decide. Anyway, the name of the ship is just a detail. However, beyond the details, I can't help but get distracted.
"Just last week, Sergeant Major Eisen French reported to me that the reconstruction project has been 80% completed? Even the introduction of the most important energy core can be used
Domestic energy packs are here to refuel." Yu Liandao.
"Of course I know this. Don't forget, I was the governor of the Far Coast Military Region before, and the Xinshuntian Shipyard was also my territory." Admiral Sylvester said proudly: "I also know that these experiences will be used in the future.
All of them can be used in the design and construction of our own dreadnoughts and even Titan ships."
Yu Lian nodded slightly and said: "So, now we have to transfer our own weapons. Xin Shuntian really cannot produce these things, so they can only be transported from the earth."
Currently, the entire community can only build the large main gun of the Dreadnought class at the Mars Shipyard. This is actually thanks to the legacy left by the Galactic Empire during its rule.
Although the slipway and dock of the Mars Shipyard were burned to the ground, and the people on Earth lost the ability to build dreadnoughts, they could still manufacture supporting main guns.
In addition, I would also like to thank the military cooperation package in recent years after President Nishita came to power, and the alliance's help in industrial upgrading by the Earth government. Up to now, the Mars shipyard still cannot build battleships above the battlecruiser level, but it can build warships.
The large "caliber" light spear cannons and rail guns that cannot be entered by patrols can be regarded as taking over the construction work of the fortress cannon.
The Natural Crest... Since the New Independence is to be completely transformed into a community, the localization of the weapon system is the most important issue. What's more, this battleship was seriously injured in the "Battle of Alien Slaughter", mainly suffering from
It was really the main gun emplacement on the bow that was damaged.
"I remember that our original plan was to equip four Dragon Breath 3 rail guns and three Quake 3 ion cannons. Of course, we also need three Delta Spear Cannons," Yu Liandao said.
The alliance is willing to sell this cutting-edge light spear cannon, but it has not been shipped yet. Fortunately, it is not impossible for the community to find a replacement from elsewhere.
"All parts will be sent from the Mars Shipyard."
Admiral Sylvester said: "...This is the problem. Some people in Congress believe that just sending main gun parts does not guarantee that the repair process will be foolproof. Moreover, compared to Shinsunchun Shipyard, Mars Shipbuilding
The conditions in the factory are much better."
This is natural. After all, it is a legacy of the empire. After all, the empire really wanted to run the earth as its own homeland, and it did not skimp on investment in everything from infrastructure to armaments industry. The Mars Shipyard is the culmination of this.
Even if the largest No. 1 slipway was burned down, it is still the largest and most well-equipped shipyard in the Blue Star Community.
"How can the masters of Congress still discuss technical issues? How refreshing! However, I must admit that these ideas are quite reasonable!" Yu Lian began to grit his teeth.
"Although Congressman Vrota who made this suggestion is from the Co-Prosperity Party, he used to be the technical director of the Mars Shipyard." Although senior Sylvester is good at dust removal and armaments, he is obviously not interested in the politics of Congress.
Ecology, as well as the lives of important congressmen are better understood. At first glance, it is clear that we want to make progress:
"Moreover, the volunteer group from the Alliance has also arrived on Earth. Many of them have experience serving on Titan, and you can refer to their opinions. In addition, you may also be able to find some technical secrets from the Empire and the Alliance.
Make an exchange."
Only then did Yu Lian suddenly remember that his old friend Claire Belmont seemed to have really gone to Earth.
Oops, so it was left here waiting for me? Is this also a conspiracy of the alliance?
Yu Liandao: "If the final work is completed at the Mars Shipyard, the Independence can naturally join the domestic fleet, right?"
"The temporary flagship of the Home Fleet is still an old-fashioned Blackbird-class battle cruiser, which is a bit disgraceful." Admiral Sylvester tried hard to make up for the earth's problems.
"...It is indeed a bit unseemly, no, even shabby. To be honest, I really feel that I am sorry for the ancient commander of Fela." Yu Lian showed an apologetic expression.
This is the truth. Thinking that Marshal Paul Ferragu is also old and has just recovered from a serious injury, but he still has to rush to the border of New Asia with a bunch of temporary fleets made up of old ships and new ships that have not been tested.
Even I felt a little intolerable.
Can't the majestic Blue Star Community find other young and powerful generals? Or is it that the newly rebuilt local fleet only has such a small force, and the gentlemen are worried about it and must hand it over to their own people?
Although "Marshal Ferragu" was born as a cook, he is indeed one of the gentlemen's "ones". There is no doubt about this. In other words, because he was born as a cook, it is easier to be regarded as one of his own.
The admiral carefully looked at the other party's expression, thought about it again and again, and felt that it was not a sinister act, so he could only say in a business-like manner: "The local fleet really needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible, and the earth needs a mobile force."
"I understand, this is the overall strategic situation."
"So, the order from the National Defense Commission has been issued. The Independence will set off tomorrow and return to the mainland of the galaxy."
"clear."
It is rare for a gentleman to do something so quickly and decisively, which shows that it has been carefully considered. If he continues to object at this time, he will really be convinced of "double-mindedness". Unless he is really determined to fight with the earth.
If the other side turns against him, he still has to accept this transfer order.
Moreover, technically, legally, and humanely, the Earth really did not do anything wrong. They even remembered to send the two newly arrived Lord God-class ships. I really want to cry to death.
"Taking a step back, we have two more Dreadnoughts. This is much better than the worst case scenario."
"I'm very pleased that you can think so... In addition, Sergeant First Class Ison French, who is currently at the New Sunchon Shipyard, and your former adjutant, Colonel Chester Rozes, will also be seconded to the mainland.
.”
"Colonel?"
"He is already a colonel and has been appointed as the third officer of the New Independence. This time when the Titan returns to China, he will be in command. The appointment should be handed down to New Sunchon soon."
Yu Lian couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "What a useless robot."
I'm so sorry for being useless!" The voice of a certain female cyber ghost sounded in his ears.
