Chapter 67 The Outer Rim Fleet Assembles
Even in this very busy space star port, the scene of more than a hundred strong men and a frail and handsome boy saying goodbye to each other was quite eye-catching.
Yu Lian and the brothers of the 101st Company are officially bidding farewell today. The destination of the cargo ship they boarded was originally the Gibraltar Beta Star Port, so now they naturally needed to transfer. Captain Winter and his party will take their mother ship, the cruiser Don Quixote, to return to the base, which is New Bukhara, three star jumps away from the star gate; as for the remaining company, they were originally supposed to be direct passengers The ship returned to Earth, but received a communication saying that an officer from the Outer Rim Fleet wanted to see him.
"Look, as I said, your reputation will have spread to the officers before you graduate. It's really time for you to seriously consider your future." Captain Winter smiled.
"So, you can really consider serving in the Outer Ring Military Region. It would be even better if you could come to the Hell Parachute Division. Maybe you can become our regiment commander in two or three years. The greatest blessing for a soldier, besides reliable comrades, He can only be a reliable commander." Lieutenant Parkin also said so.
All the brothers of the 101st Company were laughing, and so was Yu Lian. After fighting a battle, winning a big victory with zero casualties, everyone was naturally in high spirits. The friendship forged in the flames of war was naturally formed. To put it bluntly, men's friendship is very pure, and military friendship is even more pure.
"Well, have a nice trip!"
"Bon voyage! Take care!"
After bidding farewell to the big guys of the 101st Company, Yu Lian carried his luggage and left the transport ship parking area of the star port according to the communication sent before. He was accompanied by a passenger ship bound for the solar system which was issuing a "sail about to depart" notice. He passed through the civilian passenger ship area and then entered the military control area outside the port.
Further away, there is an urban area covered by a transparent dome, with pavilions and pavilions crisscrossing each other. At first glance, the city of heaven seems to be in the sea of stars, and it actually has a bit of a wonderful dreamy feel.
The Gibraltar Beta Starport is the largest space station of the Blue Star Community before the Stargate, but it is actually a semi-military fortress-shaped city with a permanent population of more than 100,000.
There are 21 space cities of this size in this galaxy, including 3 mobile fortresses that are armed to the teeth. Coupled with the more than a dozen Stargate scientific research stations jointly built with the Empire, it formed a busy but stereotyped space city group.
After passing the outpost at the door, Yu Lian, led by a round guidance robot, entered a three-story building and arrived at the innermost office on the top floor.
"Come in." The voice in the office was kind and calm. At best, he was gentle and polite, but at worst, he was a loser with no temper, no aggression, and was easy to bully.
Yu Lian felt that the voice was very familiar, and it became even more familiar when he saw the real person. The excitement of meeting the "future" celebrity again was instantly suppressed by the joy of meeting an "old friend."
Yu Lian smiled and said: "Oh, Teacher Yang, didn't you go to the Institute of Military History? Why did you come here? Are you really overly responsible for your career that is not in line with your attitude towards life? ”
"I didn't want to, but the institute has been laying off employees recently! The director said that it was too wasteful for me to study the history of Lao Shizi when I was young and hid in the old papers, so he forced me to write a transfer application! Later! I just found out that my original position as a researcher was taken by Admiral Reus’ brother-in-law who has Alzheimer’s disease.”
"Why don't you retire when you have Alzheimer's disease? Can you actually become a military history researcher?"
"I think so too! But a brigadier general or a doctor of history or something doesn't even know the commander of the Battle of Proxima Galaxy. Then there is no other explanation other than Alzheimer!"
This person was complaining with self-pity, and accidentally he thought he was a depressed middle-aged greasy social beast. But in fact, he is only in his early thirties, but he is already a naval captain. His temperament is not greasy, but he is also handsome, elegant and bookish, and his appearance can barely reach the lower limit of a handsome man.
Although there is indeed a visible difference compared to me. Yu Lian thought.
In short, if this kind of person is single, he can be regarded as a diamond king with a bright future. Unfortunately, he is married and has three children.
"Is Sister Jessica okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'm already a state legislator, and I said I want to run for mayor next year. Really, the reason why I became a researcher is so I can take care of my children nearby! It's okay now, I'm forced to this hellish place When I came to take office, the children had to be handed over to their grandparents, Yu Lian, what do you think this is..."
The two of them just chatted away, like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
In fact, they are old friends.
The name of this naval colonel is Yang Xiyi. He is 33 years old. It is a very ancient name that suits his temperament - at least those who are not familiar with him have always thought that Colonel Yang is a personable and moral gentleman who has read poetry and books, just like ancient East Asia. Those celebrities from mainland China. Yang Xiyi also graduated from the Central Defense University and later returned to the school to teach. During Yu Lian's first two years of college, he had always been one of the most popular instructors on campus, and because of his young age, he interacted with students in private more like friends.
Of course, if they are really the type who pays special attention to superiority and inferiority, the age difference of about ten years is enough for them to show off their class status. Fortunately, Teacher Yang is not such a person.
Yu Lian still remembers that he made a bet with his buddies from the "Blue Blood Brotherhood", so he sneaked out of the school with his childhood sweetheart and a group of Yingying Yanyan from the student union, and rode a mining truck through the moon. He walked into the wilderness in front of him and ran into the urban area of Guanghan City.
The guys bought 6 boxes of beer and a dozen roast chickens and returned the same way, but they were caught by the patrolling teacher Yang.
"You have to be more careful in the future. It doesn't matter if you leave a backdoor in the college's surveillance network, but if the monitor screen freezes for a long time, it will still show flaws. Also, if I were you, I wouldn't buy beer but White." Teacher Yang said a few words, accepted Yu Lian's bribe, a box of beer and a roast chicken, and left without hesitation.
Looking at the other person's back as he walked away without acknowledging his relatives, Yu Lian was immediately in awe. He would often chat with each other and encourage each other. After going back and forth, they actually became friends.
Before the start of Yu Lian's junior year, Yang Xiyi finally got his dream position, a researcher at the Institute of Military History. His dream was to be a historian, so naturally he rushed to take up the post.
"Then, as you can see, I was assigned to the Outer Rim Fleet and became the Intelligence Director of the Fleet Staff Department..." At this point, Yang Xiyi's face was filled with sadness, and he doubted the person who had replaced him. Mr. Brigadier General, who had Alzheimer's, was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
From being a military history researcher to becoming the chief intelligence officer of the Outer Rim Fleet, you are the only one who thinks this is a "distribution".
After complaining for a while, Yang Xiyi finally woke up from a dream, motioned Yu Lian to sit down, and asked while making tea: "Yu Lian, on New Yumen Star, I have received several specific reports. However, I I want you to say it again and tell me everything you saw with your eyes!”
This is a concern that belongs to a good friend and big brother, and it is also an inquiry that belongs to the future "Fox of the Outer Ring" Yang Xiyi. Yu Lian nodded and told everything except that he was a time traveler and a reborn person.
"New Yumen itself can be stable for a while. If they lose Hessen, they will lose a spiritual leader with enough appeal. If they lose Kaz Khan, they will also lose their future." Yang Xiyi nodded.
"You... think very highly of Kaz Khan!" This guy is not a cheater like Yu Lian, but he actually noticed Kaz, a little-known chief of a small tribe, so early?
"I only discovered this person after I took office. You know, the chiefs of the Sand People tribe and the city-state lords are all within the surveillance scope of the military intelligence network, which of course includes their 'legal' purchases from the Milky Way through the Star Gate. After I took office, I checked their shopping list for the past three months. Oh, the other chiefs were all daily necessities or luxuries, but he was all kinds of teaching materials. Of course, they were all in the world. There is no reason for me to withhold the primary and secondary school textbooks that I can buy! Yu Lian, what a pity for this guy! He may have a great future.”
"...Yes!"
"Now, the pressure on New Yumen, and even all our colonies in the Andromeda Galaxy, is actually from the outside." Yang Xiyi pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Because of those goblins, the government has launched a protest to the Luopan Chamber of Commerce, but I guess not What will happen? On our side, because of Eleanor and your boy’s shots, it gave Kaitai evidence.”
"Well, they didn't listen to our warning and entered the planet's orbit. They are the invaders!"
"Yes! But they can also find good reasons, saying that they were invited by the Governor's Mansion to evacuate overseas Chinese and protect the safety of friendly cities." The colonel sneered and said: "So, the outer ring fleet is here You should have guessed the reason for the gathering, right?”
"Kaitai's tough-headed cats want to take action?"
"It may not be possible to take action, but it is possible to intimidate. The joint fleet composed of the first and third fleets of the Cathays has indeed assembled in the West Tail galaxy opposite, and they have conducted some exercises. Ha... they every time This happens every few years, and everyone is used to it. But this time the battle is really big. In addition to this fleet, according to intelligence, the Royal Guard fleet stationed in their capital Bamu has also left the port."
No, I know this script well...but it's almost a year too early!
"...Oh, Teacher Yang, I feel that the other party's mobilization of troops is not just as simple as confrontation and intimidation! There must be a bigger goal!"
"For example?" Colonel Yang put down the teacup, an almost imperceptible edge flashed across his peaceful eyes.
"Completely pierce the skin of the community!"
Today’s second update, future updates will be long and short, long and short, won’t everyone be more excited?
