In Starfort D-14 in the Gibraltar galaxy, a small fleet consisting of four light cruisers, six destroyers and fourteen assault ships is undergoing final preparations.
Oh no, there is no such thing as a light cruiser, it is just an armed cargo ship converted from a Ranger-class high-speed cruise ship.
At least, this is what is recorded in the Blue Star Community's naval ship data.
In addition, the top management of this newly established fleet is also having its first meeting in the conference room of D14 Star Castle.
"Okay, starting today, the New World Patrol Strike Fleet affiliated with the Military Command Headquarters has been established! The fleet number is still 13! Our home port is designated as the New Lushun Star Port in the New World, and the D14 Star Fortress here."
Captain Eleanor Bonaparte, the newly appointed deputy commander of the Thirteenth Fleet, looked at the young and powerful officers present and felt a sense of happiness that was about to reach the peak of her life.
A considerable part of this fleet is composed of new recruits and recruited pirates - pirates have to serve in electromagnetic handcuffs for a long time - the officer corps is also very young, but she is not worried at all.
As Eleanor thought, she glanced at the faces of the young people sitting on one side of the long table and silently recited their names.
"Qiu Mingshan Hachiman! Meng Jiao! Simon Vayali! Li Baolu! Martha Daken! Anton Koshan... and Xiao Ina!"
Either they are Eleanor's junior students, or they are already members of a heroic group that has proven themselves in the previous Navy Day incident. Of course, this does not mean that they will definitely become real heroes in the cruel actual combat in the future.
Heroes, but at least they must be the young people in the community who are most likely to grow into real heroes.
When I thought of this, the senior sister's eyes gradually changed... well, for such a heroic beauty like her, it was obviously full of longing and enthusiasm for the future.
For a war maniac like her, what could be more fulfilling and happy than building a "own fleet" from scratch?
Ever since, except for Ina Silica who was still in a daze, everyone felt a little restless when they came into contact with the senior sister's eager eyes.
By the way, Miss Lieutenant Ina Silika was already prepared to be in a daze throughout the meeting. Anyway, she could not understand all the military meetings so far.
The official number of this new fleet is indeed the Thirteenth Fleet, but it is already an independent fleet directly subordinate to the headquarters. In theory, its military and political level is even the same as that of the First Fleet (Home Fleet) and the Third Fleet (Outer Rim Fleet).
Fleet) such a huge group including millions of people and more than a thousand warships is equivalent.
Although Marshal Paris has not officially assumed the position of head of the Military Command Headquarters, the Military Command Headquarters has already begun to implement his will.
In just one week, this newly formed small fleet received four new Franz IV destroyers and eight Warhammer VI assault ships. And all of them were tested less than a month ago.
New ship.
Some people in the Outer Rim Fleet, who were originally waiting for the new ship to be launched, even said, "We are just disgraced yellow-faced women, and that small fleet is Father Paris' new little wife."
You can call it whatever you want, but in a short period of time, this small fleet was formed.
In the decisive frontal fleet battle between the galactic powers, the power of this fleet can at best act as a guerrilla force, but in Eleanor's view, this is the perfect start.
There will be aircraft carriers, there will be battle cruisers, and there will be fearless one day. She said to herself, and then introduced everyone to the main seat, the only general present, with a smile.
"Welcome our new commander, Brigadier General Stephen Marklov. Please ask him to come and speak to us."
When Eleanor said this, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. This was the only thing she felt uncomfortable about. However, she was only under twenty-six years old this year, and she was only promoted to a high school at the beginning of this year.
Colonel. Although this is a universe where generals in their twenties are running around because of extraordinary power, nobility, blood theory, and the interference of the will of the universe, and marshals in their early thirties do exist. But
In any case, it was impossible for Eleanor to become a general and the commander of a fleet immediately.
Brigadier General Marklov, who is sixty-five years old this year, stood up with a grimace. He glanced around the whole place and found that more than 90% of the officers present were his grandchildren. His expression became even more bitter. He looked at the few people present.
There are a few old men of the same age, such as Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu and Lieutenant Colonel Lapon, as well as the two old partners who took office as he took office, the Chief of Staff Colonel Fenn who doesn't know if there will be a plot in the future, and the Colonel Finn who doesn't know if there will be any plot in the future.
The chief navigator, Colonel Carlos, will have lines.
From now on, we old guys will probably have to huddle together in this "kindergarten" to keep warm!
Holy Spirit of the Universe, how come I, an aircraft carrier captain who has applied for retirement, have become the first commander-in-chief of such a new "experimental fleet". If I had a choice, I would rather be on my beloved ship
Retirement on the Lexington!
However, Marshal Paris personally communicated with him and said: "This is a newly formed fleet. The ships and people are very young. Young, so they are hot-blooded, so they are full of passion, so they can create
We have unimaginable dazzling achievements. However, just because we are young, we can also be too passionate and make things get out of hand. This is why we need a steady veteran like you to help!"
"Sir, I have applied for retirement!"
"Anyway, it's just a few more years of work. Don't you want to enjoy the treatment of a general after retirement?"
"Thanks to you, oh, by the way, and to Captain Yu Lian, in the Battle of the West End System, the armored aircraft carrier Lexington commanded by me accomplished the great feat of being the first to jump out of a gang and kill an enemy. So, my officer is here
I already got a general star in the new year!"
Ever since, the first meeting after the establishment of the Thirteenth Fleet ended in such a successful way.
However, after the meeting, Eleanor Bonaparte found the old man in private and proposed to equip some VX-type space shock bombs.
"This weapon is a counter-research product of anti-matter technology, but it has little actual combat value in fleet warfare. It is mainly used to deal with some large military targets with complete defenses during orbital bombing... Colonel Bonaparte, according to the command
The plan, our next step, should be to go to the far coast system for the first fleet training, right? It would be better if we can meet pirates and smugglers. What do you want these for?" Fighter aircraft maintenance engineer and equipment engineer
Brigadier General Marklov was born, and he was indeed a knowledgeable weapons expert.
This kind of space shock bomb is of course not as powerful as a neutron bomb in terms of ground cleaning power, but its operating principle is to extract zero-point energy from deep space for material destruction. It has the effect of breaking the ground and adding space shock. It is used to deal with
It is naturally very useful for large military targets with strong defense.
"Maybe we can catch some smugglers hiding in the far shore nebula or a certain asteroid base. At this time, we need to use this weapon to attack the enemy!" Eleanor explained seriously.
I won't tell you that Yuri just sent me an encrypted email, Eleanor thought.
I believe you just saw a ghost! We are going to encounter a secret base of pirates and smugglers. It would be strange if you don’t grab a big one! Brigadier General Marklov thought.
Although he was so slanderous, he also agreed seriously: "...Well, what you said makes sense! I will apply to the Outer Ring Military Region to allocate some space shock bombs to us."
At the same time, on the New Seville planet, after Yu Lian ended the communication between the two technical geeks, he quickly sent an encrypted email to his senior sister.
He felt that as a leader, he had done a lot of work today, and he suddenly felt a little complacent.
Someone once said that as long as you learn to fill out forms, assign tasks, and hold people accountable, you can be a good leader.
Yu Lian felt that although he had not fallen to this level, he still had to do basic skills such as assigning tasks.
"The technical staff are still limited! Sure enough, it's because you want to do too much, and you're taking too big steps, is it hurting your XX?"
Yu Lian thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of sending a letter to Uncle Karl who was preparing the new Yumen Gate. He had seen this old man’s craftsmanship before, even if he hadn’t been to those like Eisen Tamir, a novice who would become famous in later generations.
"I think" is so powerful, but as an executor, it couldn't be more perfect.
If Eisen and Tamir really want to recharge, they really need a caretaker.
...Forget it, let's wait until the Red Star Institute becomes a regular one. The old man is working as a maintenance captain in Xinyumen City. There is no danger but he still has an iron rice bowl. If he directly asks people to change jobs, it will only make things difficult for the old people.
In addition, on the senior side, if an experienced but unambitious veteran like Marklov is appointed as the superintendent, she should be able to keep an eye on her. If that doesn't work, wouldn't there be double insurance like Hachiman?
Well, a natural-born hot girl is paired with a natural-born old cunt. Is there any better partner in the universe?
However, Commodore Marklov is actually an expert in aircraft carrier warfare. He only has a few rangers that can only carry one or two squadrons of fighter aircraft. It is really a waste of his ability. Yu Lian also hopes that he will retire.
Previously, I was able to train Baolu and his girlfriend to become excellent aircraft carrier combat commanders.
It is common sense that excellent carrier-based aircraft pilots have the potential to become excellent aircraft carrier commanders. What's more, Li Baolu's future title of "Forward Eagle" will not be solely based on the pilot's performance.
All in all, the Thirteenth Fleet, the New World patrol strike fleet, has a lot to do!
I have to think of a way to avoid the "New Continental Arms Limitation Treaty" and get an aircraft carrier... Speaking of which, turning a mail ship into an aircraft carrier is also a traditional skill for people like me, right?
Shi AA probably listened to the entire communication with the Earth side. Seeing that Yu Lian was deep in thought, he took the initiative to send a communication signal.
"I must remind you that in terms of research, we can only do auxiliary work. This is also the reason why I was originally created! In terms of research, we are good at calculations and the construction of existing information...
But I’m not good at imagination and creativity.”
I know this too! I read it from Miss Arenda's "Notes on Slug Breeding". Also, I feel that if it weren't for this reason, you would have been dead long ago.
"It seems that neurons can't replace the brain!"
"I, I also think that because you mammals use your brain to think, you have too many meaningless thoughts. That's why you are more susceptible to hormones and dopamine... I'm sorry, I got carried away!"
Yu Lian took back the vinegar he just took out, saying that as long as this bug maintains such a consistent style, future communication will be very smooth.
"Speaking of which, you have been in this galaxy for a little over two hundred years. Do you know anything about the Far Coast Nebula?" Yu Lian asked.
"Far Shore Nebula? Oh, that's what you call it! The natural environment there is indeed very dangerous, and there are almost no jump paths. Therefore, Count Salvin often sails there alone, and he and some mysterious things
Friends meet up."
"..."
"I feel that your current smile is very dangerous. Is it due to excessive secretion of hormones and dopamine?"
Yu Lian closed the test tube, withdrew his spiritual derivatives, looked at the time, and found that it was already after five o'clock in the morning. Naturally, he couldn't sleep, so he just closed his eyes and rested his mind for a while.
In fact, he must not feel tired at all.
By the third level, he has become less and less like a human being, and with the permanent buff like "Source of Life" that makes him energetic, it is estimated that even if his liver is damaged for a whole week, it will not be a big problem.
However, Yu Lian also knows that occult fatigue is actually very anti-scientific and unconventional. In most cases, it is very hidden. By the time you really realize it, it is already too late. Therefore, all those who have
Extraordinary people with experience will tell their younger generations to rest more when they can, and eat and drink as much as possible when they can eat and drink.
Anyway, we are all extraordinary people, how can we still get gastroenteritis?
Yu Lian closed his eyes and rested while digesting the new extraordinary abilities in his mind. He just "rested" until after seven o'clock, then got up and went to the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel to have breakfast.
There is a time to eat, and this is a healthy life pattern. Just because you just finished a seafood barbecue and wheat soda three hours ago, you can't disrupt your established life pattern.
Breakfast is a buffet, and since it is the official guest house of the Garrison Command, the variety and taste of the food are pretty good.
Yu Lian ate six more slices of toast, three fried eggs, three slices of fried bacon, a bowl of meat porridge, a plate of fruit salad, a small chocolate cake, plus a glass of milk and a glass of juice before he felt satisfied.
By the time he changed into his uniform and went out, the orderly sergeant whose name was not important and the sergeant lady who was guest tour guide were already waiting for him.
"Captain, today's itinerary is to meet with the leaders of the militia organizations in various regions and have lunch together! In the afternoon, we will check the preparation and training status of the militia organizations. Because according to the original plan, we will observe them tomorrow
The actual combat exercise situation, so today I should be staying at the militia organization department of Yuewan City." The non-commissioned officer with a face value of 2 and a guest tour guide said in a sweet voice. She has now begun to serve as a guest secretary.
"Understood!" Yu Lian smiled and said: "In addition, please apply for a transportation boat from the headquarters. After the exercise ends tomorrow, I will rush to the planet Lumina."
The two noncommissioned officers quickly exchanged glances. The male noncommissioned officer who was working as a serviceman and driver hesitated and said: "...the general headquarters for the suppression of the Lumina rebels is located at the R4 orbital space station above the planet Lumina.
superior."
Suppress the General...
Yu Lian rolled his eyes in his heart, but on the surface he smiled pleasantly and said: "I understand, but I really need to go to the site to investigate. Don't worry, I have already made peace with Brigadier General Lu Ben and them. You can just do that."
