Chapter 73 Preparing for War
The turmoil in Gibraltar's Beta Star Port has finally been properly resolved. Two hours later, Yu Lian and Yang Xiyi arrived at the flagship Hyperion of the Outer Rim Fleet, preparing to report to Admiral Paris.
The reason why it went so smoothly was naturally because Major Horne was very cooperative and seemed to have made up his mind to change his mind and become a good person.
It stands to reason that espionage is a felony everywhere. According to the laws of the community, captured spies will basically die. But the premise is that Major Horn is an ordinary person.
"He is a psyker after all. You know, according to the "Awakened Person Protection Act", as long as you do not die on the spot, or commit an anti-civilization crime set by the Galactic Civilization Conference, you will not be sentenced to death. You can even pass your own If you make some contribution with your extraordinary power and apply for a commutation of your sentence, you can be released from prison in a few years. Then you may find a job in a private enterprise and earn more than you and I. Haha~~ There is no way, the Empire has a heraldry and a heraldry. The Astral Knights and the Alliance have the Supernatural Administration and the Guerrilla Association, and there are always powerful institutions that can judge supernatural crimes... But we don't have any, so we can only abide by international conventions."
"However, according to international conventions, if he does not surrender, I can launch an honorary duel against him. Even if I kill him on the spot, it is still legal. After all, he was the one who made the move first, right?" Yu Lian asked.
"That's the reason." Yang Xiyi was full of admiration: "...Psychics are truly the darlings of the spirit of the universe!"
"...Although I think you are mocking me, I have no proof!" Yu Lian shrugged.
"According to his confession, he has been a sensitive person for a long time, but he has never been able to confirm it, and there is no way to awaken. Until the time when he traveled to Paradise City at public expense..."
"Wait a minute, why would soldiers form a group to travel to Paradise City? Isn't that place full of casinos and brothels?"
"How can I explain the matter of the local army clearly?" Yang Xiyi said confidently: "In short, when that guy was traveling at Paradise City's expense, he met the envoys of the Cathay people, and, according to what he said... the empire's Representatives of a certain big noble nearby. They helped Major Horn awaken his spiritual power and open the 'Spirit Empowering' astrolabe."
"Spirit-supporting" and "purity" belong to the two sides of yin and yang, and the first link is "believer". The latter focuses on treatment and purification, while Major Horn's "Spirit Supporter" focuses on concentration, perception and strengthening of the spiritual field. In the later stages, it is possible to develop into a powerful prayer and divine agent.
Illusion is not his strongest area. But even if you are not specialized, there is still a difference between 100 points and 80 points. At least it is much better than Yu Lian's hexagon. Even if Horn is only a first-level player and has not put much effort into psychic training, he can still pull Yu Lian, a psychic of the same level, into the illusion.
If Yu Lian hadn't seen too many more exaggerated scenes, and conquered the Soul Kingdom, which was full of dangers and disasters, his spirit would have been broken down and he would have died in a vegetative state.
"He is also saying that his illusion labyrinth was trained by the master from the empire. Even four or five level 1 psychics can be killed silently by him. He also said that you must be trained by our country. A psychic agent or something like that, otherwise it would be impossible to escape his illusion. So, Yu Lian, are you?"
"Does the community have a system of psychic agents?"
"As far as I know, there hasn't been..." Yang Xiyi sighed and suddenly stopped: "Besides, I'm sorry, Yu Lian."
"What?"
"The arrangement I just made was to use you as bait. Of course, if you are really in danger, I will take action in advance. But if you psychics are hit on a mental level, the trauma will stay with you for life, right? ?”
It's not that big of a deal, just find a good doctor. But for most "ordinary" psychics who have no way out, it is indeed a lifelong injury.
"However, even so, I will not give up this plan. If you want to laugh at me, laugh at me, Yu Lian, as you said, I am already a realist, incompetent and greasy uncle!"
Yu Lian looked at the calm man and said, "If I wasn't an insider, then I would be qualified to punch you in the nose. But didn't you inform me?"
"..."
"You almost turned the wine glass in your hand into a top. How dull would I be if I still couldn't understand? Then, after I filled your glass with wine, I turned it 360 degrees. This is how you keep me alert. Haha. , wasn’t it a secret code that was ordered a few years ago?”
Yang Xiyi was stunned for a moment, then showed a relieved smile: "You grow up very fast! You kid..."
"But what would you do if Major Horne didn't take action?"
"Then keep watching, there will always be times when he shows his flaws. As for the commander, of course I have prepared another set of arguments to convince him. Having Major Horn as a witness is just the icing on the cake. Without him, I Other evidence is also prepared.”
"You... are really cunning!"
"An excellent staff officer has to prepare several plans. However, it is not easy to get your praise."
"But I will still tell Xiaoxuan, Xiaoyong and Xiaomi that their father has become such an adult!"
"So, I thought today's scene was over!"
"Yeah, so this is to retaliate for the 20 yuan you won against me last time."
"That's a matter of using the star card to decide the outcome in an upright manner! The card is in your hand, your life is in the sky. Win or lose, life or death depends on destiny! You have agreed not to retaliate afterward!"
"But this doesn't change the fact that you actually bribed my opponent to cheat! I'm like three against one and one of them even pretended to be one of us!" "Who told you to play cards with three men? Come here? If you were a little girl who had learned how to give birth, this would not be the case. If you don’t care about your own popularity, how can you blame me for instigating this? br>
While exchanging such meaningless nonsense, they arrived at the gate of the bridge.
Yang Xiyi said: "You have also seen that the commander who was born as a veteran does not like elite bureaucrats, let alone moon people. So, if the commander does not ask you for a while, you must not speak."
Aren't you also a member of the elite bureaucracy group plus a man on the moon?
"I'm different. After all, I've worked with him for a while, and he has a gentle temperament and is harmless to humans and animals."
Yes, at least that's how this guy is in the headquarters.
After routine questioning, the two entered the Hyperion's bridge, led by the adjutant who called himself Captain Green.
This heroic ship has made great achievements in the past and in the future. The decoration of its bridge is actually very simple and simple. The atmosphere is so hard and resolute that it reminds people of a heavy machinery factory, but there is no sacred and solemn ceremony. feel. In addition, Yu Lian really didn't have the time to look at the decoration here. You know, as soon as they entered the command hall, Admiral Paris's stern eyes swept over them.
Yu Lian felt that at this time, even if he was half a beat too late in saluting, if there were wrinkles on his collar, or if his military hat strap was half a centimeter crooked, he would be scolded by this grumpy old man until he couldn't even lift his head. So what? Dare to look around.
Fortunately, his military appearance and salute this time were perfect, so the old general should not be able to fault him.
Sure enough, the old man glanced at Yu Lian and saw that he couldn't find anything wrong with him, so he snorted and turned away.
But on the other side, a middle-aged South Asian with the rank of lieutenant general sprayed directly at Yang Xiyi: "Colonel Yang, what on earth are you doing? I asked you to check our newly purchased 40,000 yuan Tons of high-explosive dust, don’t let you go to the Star Port! Car chase? Explosion? Gunfight? Do you think you are filming a movie? Don’t you know how many people are in Gibraltar every day? I’ve had enough headaches lately! Do you think I sleep on the boat every day because it’s so comfortable? I don’t want to go back to sleep on my two-meter big bed with Nord velvet cushions? Are you surrounding me? It’s okay now! I can think of how many people are squatting in front of the kennel? What do you want me to do?”
Yu Lian guessed that this dark-skinned but talkative Lieutenant General Ah San should be Lieutenant General Shahrukh Rapashe, Chief of Staff of the Fleet.
"Well, actually we have blocked off the neighborhood." Yang Xiyi said with a smile.
"What a blockade!" the lieutenant general said angrily, and then with a flick of his hand, he threw a "light curtain" that appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them.
Four images were framed on the light screen. At first glance, they were news footage, and they were all scenes from the previous car chase.
Yu Lian recognized that those four media companies were quite influential, and one of them was even from the Alliance.
"Under the protection of the country's most powerful outer ring fleet, such a vicious incident occurred at the entrance to this star gate, this star port transfer station that is related to the interests of the entire galaxy. We have reason to raise such questions. , the outer ring fleet is not capable of protecting the legal etiquette of citizens, is it qualified to continue to waste taxpayers’ precious tax dollars?”
The person who said this was a male reporter wearing a "GNN" logo. He has an upright appearance, is sanctimonious, and has a eloquent tongue, but I must admit that he is also a personable and contagious guy.
"That's all from the Alliance. Even the people from GNN have discovered it! Don't you know that these guys are all nubucks?"
Yang Xiyi nodded, stood at attention and saluted again: "Yes, it was all the official's fault!"
He pretended to lie down and let the ridicule go, but the lieutenant general became even more furious: "Okay, okay, okay, I hope you can give me a reasonable reason! Otherwise, I will tie you to the buttocks of a proton torpedo." Add a ton of high-explosive dust to the eyes and launch them into the black hole together!”
"Major Horne is a Cathay spy."
"Actually, he's a spy from the Empire..." Yu Lian wanted to add something, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
"That's ridiculous. Major Horn has always been diligent, dedicated, steady and down-to-earth. Colonel Yang, if you want to accuse him, you have to pay attention to evidence!" the lieutenant general sneered.
"...He has admitted it himself. Soon, Colonel Zamon will send his confession!"
"Well, I thought before that the fat man seemed to be kind, but he always had some evil intentions. Now it has been exposed!" Lieutenant General Lapash said righteously: "So, does he have some terrible conspiracy? Huh?”
"The chief of staff has seen thousands of miles!" Yang Xiyi flattered him very naturally and continued: "Just now he has informed that the fleet assembly of the Kingdom of Cathay ahead is not just an exercise. Their first and third fleets , prepare to paralyze us through exercises, and then wait until the Royal Fleet arrives When we arrive, launch a surprise attack, repel us, and then capture the Gibraltar star port in one fell swoop! At that time, Major Horn, as the logistics director, will find a way to shut down the star port's fortress defense system at the right time to welcome Catai. Human marine troops enter the port! ”
Admiral Paris, who had been silent since just now, finally changed his expression.
Today's second update, a gorgeous second update beast.
Also, on the character sheet, who uploaded a bunch of pictures of girls to Yu Lian’s column? Who liked it again? Yu Lian is not a transvestite! This is not a hypocritical novel either!
