Chapter 935: One of the Four Heavenly Kings to Recover
Yeager Soback, who has become His Excellency the General, of course does not know that once the gift of fate is on track, it will always chase him to feed him. Now, he is executing his first mission after completing the repair.
A sub-serious military mission, commanding a convoy of twelve small and medium-sized battleships with the cruiser Buran as the flagship, escorting a supply fleet of eight large cargo ships to the front line of the "Devil's Throat".
These eight large cargo ships, including two ancient saint-class ships that are like space cities, can transport enough materials to support tens of millions of troops on the front line for a month. It is considered to be the largest escort fleet transported to the front line during this period.
Brigadier General Soback suddenly felt that the responsibility was heavy, but he still accepted the order very calmly. However, he was also a person who had witnessed the Ares Festival, the Extreme Star Wars and the Enlightenment War Puppet. Speaking of what he had experienced
"High-quality copy" definitely surpasses most of the Knights' colleagues. When a person has endured too much pain that cannot be endured in life, even a natural coward will not put aside ordinary pressure.
From my perspective, this is actually quite reasonable.
The journey was actually smooth sailing. However, when the transport fleet left the borders of the Empire's New World, deviated from the New World's highways, entered the Devil's Star Channel, and arrived at the forefront base established by the Empire in the DL02 galaxy, some minor incidents occurred.
misfortune.
It was not that they encountered enemies, but more than a dozen transport ships that had reluctantly retreated from the front. These unlucky ships had just entered the supply route of the Devil's Maze Channel when they were attacked by predators, although neither the ship nor the cargo was attacked.
However, the ship's hull was severely damaged, so naturally they did not dare to move forward, so they had to withdraw temporarily and prepare to return to the Iris Cross System, which has a dry dock and complete maintenance facilities for repairs.
In fact, the Buran and other ships of the "Archaeology Fleet" also completed their repairs from there.
It would be no problem to go back and repair the ship. Soback felt that if it were him, driving a cargo ship riddled with holes, he would never dare to run to the front line and risk being intercepted by more predators.
He is such a very empathetic person.
However, it is really a waste of transportation capacity to bring the cargo back directly to the rear.
Thinking of this, Soback's logistics soul began to burn.
"I know that the supply lines are not very safe recently, but the transport fleet is attacked only once every four times on average, and the enemy captures the ship only five times in total. What kind of risk is this? Let the damaged transport ship unload all the cargo.
When it arrives at our place, yes, I mean all of it! Yes, put the polar equipment delivered two days ago onto the White Rhino 12! You only have two hours! The shipment has not been completed within two hours, I
I will help you with proton torpedoes and launch them into variable-light stars. I will do what I say!"
Commodore Yeager Soback showed unprecedented courage and sprayed the captains of the transport ship, whose average seniority was more than twice his own, until they could no longer take care of themselves, so they had no choice but to obey. Immediately afterwards, he continued
Passed through the frontline logistics manager of the DL02 system.
There are two large lava planets in this galaxy. The surface is visually covered with high-energy gases and heavy metal elements that are easy to mine. The Imperial Army set up two mining shafts and a rough-processing orbital factory here. Not counting robots.
, the whole department has a total of 2,000 workers and technicians. It is definitely a large-scale factory. It is managed by an Angmang colonel and can directly provide solid fuel and high-explosive gas to the front line. Occasionally, it can also
Pick some zero elements.
"What about the 40 million tons of high-pressure solid fuel agreed upon?" Soback asked.
"It's done and is being packed into boxes! It will take another three hours..." The older Angmang colonel was sweating profusely, and even his brown hair, which was tinged with white, seemed to be a little damp.
Already.
"You only have two hours!" Soback said coldly.
The colonel wanted to explain that when the friendly ships that were attacked on the supply route retreated, he also had to provide personnel, equipment and fuel, which affected the normal work. However, he also knew that the Imperial Army's military law
Harsh, the people above will not listen to my explanation.
Among the imperial soldiers who are full of military virtues, who can become a general and be a person of the same kind? Moreover, after all, he is a disciple of Duke Sadolan, which sounds particularly fierce!
In this way, under the command of Brigadier General Soback, the escort supply fleet suddenly entered a high-speed operation state, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. Of course, after all this was done, he himself
Realizing that this didn't seem to be in line with his previous character, he explained to his core friends: "Well, I'm anxious too! Probably because I grew up in a colony, and I always see
Transport ships traveling between the mainland and the New World would rather carefully carry specialty luxury goods onto dozens of layers of silk cushions, stuffing the cabin like a can, than transport more daily necessities and food. Wasting transportation capacity is a crime against the empire.
!”
Captain Hongshan asked curiously: "After all, you are also a citizen family. There cannot be a shortage of daily necessities for the citizen community, right?"
"Well, but the goods provided to ordinary citizen communities, as well as slave and criminal labor camps are not enough..." When Soback said this, he found that the other party was looking at him as if he was looking at a visual spectacle.
, I was immediately startled on the spot: "Why would I think about the problem from this aspect?"
Captain Hongshan shrugged: "Isn't this a good thing?"
"No, I just think this will become more and more dangerous." Soback shrank his neck guiltily and decided not to tell anyone about the fact that he was reading "The Original Theory" recently.
Fortunately, Miss Serlu, the daughter of the Marquis over there, didn't seem to hear what was going on. She just comforted: "You did the right thing. Although you are a kind-hearted commander who cares about your subordinates, as a commander you really need the wrath of thunder."
On the one hand. When the time comes, no matter which officer you plan to shoot, just leave it to us to execute."
As psykers, Astral Knights and Inquisitors are born with the authority to enforce military law as military judges, and the former is even more direct than the latter.
"Anyway, it can be seen that you are indeed very happy with your job." Captain Hongshan said: "There is just a small detail issue. Your duty is to escort, and does not include logistics management authority."
"It doesn't matter. You are the admiral of the escort fleet, and you also have the position of chief staff officer of the logistics department. This is just a written report. Let me help handle it." Miss Serlu said.
"What did you call me just now?" Soback asked.
The eldest lady of the Marquis family was slightly startled: "Your Excellency?"
"No, the back."
"Admiral of the Escort Fleet?"
"No, no, no, I mean the last one."
"Chief Staff Officer of the Logistics Department?"
"Yes, yes, that's it! This is the best title. Although it's just a temporary guest position, it's better than a general! Serlu, brother Hongshan, will you call me Director Suo from now on?"
Captain Hongshan and Miss Serlu looked at each other, both thinking that this guy might have a serious illness, but at this time there was really no evidence.
In this way, this large-scale supply fleet quickly completed the fortification work and continued to move towards the front line. Although it was delayed for several hours in the DL02 system, it should still be able to reach its destination as planned.
Brigadier General Yeager Soback really feels that his condition is very good, not a little good, but a very good state.
He finally wears the shining gem star, and from then on he can be called "Your Excellency" in a grand manner. As a man whose life goal is to "become a general, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and revive his family business"
For a person, he finally achieved his first small goal before the age of thirty. Isn’t this worthy of rejoicing?
Of course, in the eyes of others, as a close disciple of Duke Sadolan, the young general and the three-ring boss who made great achievements in the previous Battle of the Gate of Glory and the subsequent Devil's Sky Adventure, got a
It’s natural to be a general. Didn’t you see that the other four heavenly kings are already generals?
Although he, Colonel Yeager Soback, is only a third-level warrior and is indeed the weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings, since it is an empire full of martial virtues, it must pay attention to clear rewards and punishments.
If he doesn't wear the general's star, it will be a blasphemy to Duke Sadolan... Of course, Duke Sadolan is a super boss who is moving towards the side of truth after all, so he shouldn't need to pay attention to these mundane matters for the time being.
Miscellaneous things. However, he can have an attitude, but we must have an attitude.
In addition, since Sobek's first task after completion of repairs was to escort the supply fleet, the headquarters gave him the title of chief staff officer of the Logistics Department, which, to put it bluntly, was equivalent to a temporary position like a liaison officer. However,
But he was very excited and felt that this was the first step for his life to get on track. As long as he can prove his strengths in this area, who can't say that the temporary will not become permanent?
Because of this, Commodore Yeager Soback showed a rare initiative and loaded the cargo of all the transport ships that had lost the ability to move forward on his own ship, and protected all convoys.
In the security work, he maintains a 200% level of dedication and stays at his command position for at least 17 or 18 hours a day.
"Actually, since the ancient holy ship was captured last time, forward combat readiness patrols have become more and more frequent. Since we discovered the new waterway, there have been very few predator fleets." Hongshan Ship
Long story.
What he meant was that as the commander, Soback really didn't need to curl up like this, which would make the whole fleet a little nervous.
"...But judging from the frontline battle report, the 13th Fleet of the Community had a battle with the Predator's attack fleet in the DL20 galaxy just the day before yesterday. This shows that we have not blocked all the rat holes." Soback said.
"I heard that after the Earl of Meldike was captured, Lieutenant General Tie Suiyang, who escorted the ship, committed suicide on the Vulcan to apologize." Miss Serlu added, and then lowered her voice and said: "
I heard that he cut open the abdominal cavity with a knife, took out the heart with his own hands, placed it on a tray and presented it to His Royal Highness King Solane."
"Does the Kaitai people have any serious illness?" Captain Hongshan was stunned when he heard this.
"Suicide, and you also took out your heart with your own hands..." How painful would that be? Soback was horrified and hurried over: "In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful!"
Perhaps because the fleet he led was indeed too fat, when it arrived at the DL21 system where the Devil's Labyrinth Channel was interrupted, it encountered the enemy again.
This time the attackers were more than forty small landing ships, each of which was only the size of a destroyer. They rushed out from the asteroid belt of this system and rushed towards the transport fleet like a pack of hunting hyenas.
.
Perhaps, as Soback said, our side has not blocked all the mouse holes, or it may be that the opponent has been ambushing in this galaxy. After all, they are only small boats about a hundred meters away. If they really hide in a small
In the planetary belt, it is like a poisonous insect hiding in the grass, which is difficult to find.
Fortunately, Soback's behavior of leading the entire fleet for several days did have an effect here. The sudden appearance of the enemy could be regarded as a release for the officers and soldiers who had accumulated a lot of pressure.
As a result, the ferocious bombardment formed a dense fire net, which isolated all enemy ships at a safe distance.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Predator fleet prepared to escape, but at this time, a new fleet jumped over from the gravity well exit in the direction of Devil's Roar, and it turned out to be the Community's Thirteenth Fleet.
Under attack from both sides by the "Allied Forces", this large-scale predator fleet was sunk by nearly 80% of its warships, while its own losses were almost negligible.
This victory was the result of sincere cooperation between the two sides. No matter how much the empire and the community dislike each other, they still need to greet each other with basic etiquette at this time.
"It turns out that your distinguished officer is His Excellency Yeager Soback! He is indeed his acknowledged enemy!" the commander (?) on the other side of the earth, a young and beautiful female general, praised.
Soback instantly thought of "him", and the expression on his face almost became unbearable. It's enough for you to ruin my reputation with the empire, why do you do this with the people on earth?
Although he thought so in his heart, he still said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are very grateful. I hope that our cooperation this time can find a good start for the maintenance of the frontline supply line."
In this way, the "allies" who cooperated sincerely kept a safe distance as much as possible...even a farther safety distance than the Predator fleet just now, passed by each other, and headed towards their goals.
"There is no way to continue like this! You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days." Soback shook his head and complained. However, he only complained. After all, he, Brigadier General Yeager Soback, was just a thief.
A harmless logistics officer, such higher-dimensional calculations and strategic layouts have the headaches of the big shots above.
Captain Hongshan smiled and said: "I heard that the people on earth are one step faster than me, and their reconnaissance fleet has explored deeper than ours, but His Highness above did not apply for sharing because of the empire's face.
Star map information. I think it’s time to make full use of your network resources at this time.”
Miss Serlu's eyes lit up and she analyzed seriously: "Since he is your old enemy, he should give you a favor. Moreover, this is just a private exchange of information between the two brigadiers. Although it is not very rule-based,
But it avoids the diplomatic embarrassment at the top level, and it is indeed feasible."
From the perspective of the eldest lady of the Marquis family, the relationship between heroes with different stances is always very awkward. They can often be read as "old enemy" and written as "best friend", but this is how romantic it is!
Thank you so much! Yeager Soback was about to complain, but a communications officer came over to report that the ship had received a gravitational wave from the rear. The encrypted emergency communications were sent specifically to him.
