Chapter 627 Admiral Mascot?


Chapter 627 Admiral = mascot?

In the eyes of outsiders, Federal Admiral is actually a relatively embarrassing military rank.

As the pinnacle of naval officers in the traditional sense, it should be the dream of all federal naval officers to be promoted to this rank in their lifetime.

But in fact, most naval officers only set their "life goal" at lieutenant general - a military rank that can command a main navy fleet.

In their view, even if they are promoted to the rank of admiral, their actual power and prestige in the military will be very limited. After all, at the top of the entire federal navy, there is the 'big Buddha' of Marshal Trafalgar.

As long as he is still in the military for one day, it doesn't matter how many stars are hung on the shoulders of these generals. No matter how awesome you are, can you be better than this old marshal who has worked in the navy for decades?

What's more, after reaching the rank of admiral, they usually leave the front-line combat command and move to the rear to coordinate the training and construction of the entire navy. Basically, they change to a civilian position. This is for those naval officers who are eager to personally command the fleet and gallop across the star sea. That said, it can only be regarded as a loss that outweighs the gain.

Therefore, compared with the large number of officers in the federal army who have mixed qualifications and have reached the rank of general, the navy has only a handful of generals who have been promoted over the years, and most of them are no longer suitable for fleet command. Due to his age, he had to take a back seat after being promoted to general.

This is one of the reasons why naval generals have always looked down on those 'army bastards'.

It can be said that the rank promotion and internal atmosphere of the entire Federal Navy have always seemed somewhat abstract under the influence of Marshal Trafalgar's prestige.

As for Admiral Carroll, the only one in the federal navy who remained in the fleet command position after being promoted to admiral, he was an even more embarrassing existence in the eyes of other senior navy generals.

On the surface, the First Fleet of the Federation Navy under his command is the essence of the entire Federation Navy, the best among the elite, and the one whose comprehensive combat power among all the main fleets of the Federation can crush other fleets.

Especially after the battle with the Star Dragon Empire, there are a lot of heroic captains, ace pilots, and combat heroes who are relatively rare in other main fleets, and there are even more in the first fleet

It seems that serving as the commander of the First Fleet of the Federation Navy is indeed a beautiful thing.

But the bad thing is that the First Fleet is also the 'direct fleet' of Marshal Trafalgar. Whenever the First Fleet needs to be dispatched for combat, the old Marshal will inevitably be in charge of the fleet.

Although on the surface, the flagship of the First Fleet, the Dreadnought, is only used as the Admiral's ship, in fact everyone knows what kind of character the old marshal is.

Instead of fearlessly commanding the fleet to fight under his nose, it would be better to let the old marshal do it in person - at least he would not be scolded in front of everyone on the bridge because of his command errors.

Therefore, these generals within the federal navy have no envy for Admiral Carroll, only sympathy.

However, the person involved did not care about this at all. Others thought that he was too close to Marshal Trafalgar and his own glory was completely obscured, but Admiral Carroll himself thought.

He is not close enough to this ‘Military God’.

——

MX/44219/M/AE sector, Lysidios system, federal theoretical territory.

At the last moment before the bridge door of the Intrepid opened, Carol raised his hand to adjust the collar of his military uniform to ensure that his appearance could not be faulted by the famously strict naval marshal.

As the door opened with a burst of airlock pressure release, a special smell mixed with body odor aggravated by adrenaline, the unique 'stink' of electronic equipment, and regenerated oxygen rushed towards the face and quickly filled the air. Every space in Rolle's nasal cavity.

However, for Admiral Carroll, or for the entire federal navy, they are already very familiar with the unique smell of this kind of battleship.

This is why most battleship commanders will give priority to turning off the 'air cleaning' function in the ship after entering a battle, and invest the little energy saved in more important subsystems. Anyway, there is no one except the recruits. You won’t be used to this smell, not to mention you have to wear cabin clothes after entering the battle

At this moment, everyone in the bridge was busy at their workbench, and most of the area directly in front and above the bridge was surrounded by an endless starry sky. The bridge's 'panoramic porthole', which is composed of an entire hemispherical screen, will make anyone who steps on the bridge for the first time feel like they are surrounded by the entire universe. However, for Carroll, this scene has already become a reality. his daily life.

So at this moment, the admiral did not stop for even a second in front of this magnificent scene, but strode directly towards the center of the bridge.

Unlike the bridges of other battleships, the area in the middle of the bridge of the flagship of the Federation Navy's First Fleet, the Intrepid, is used to arrange the captain's seat. There are two multi-functional command chairs arranged side by side.

One of them belongs to Admiral Carroll, the commander of the fleet and the captain of the "Dreadnought", and the person sitting on the other command chair is naturally Marshal Trafalgar.

"There you are, Carol."

Trafalgar glanced in the direction that Carol was walking, and then his eyes returned to the huge holographic projection platform in front, which displayed a huge star map and the general situation of the enemy fleet in the system.

"Marshal, the three fleets have completed all inspections and are ready to enter battle at any time"

Admiral Carroll hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"But do we really want to fight the rebels here? According to current intelligence, the rebels have assembled at least more than six standard fleets, although most of them are warships from the garrison fleet and the security fleet. But the number is indeed twice that of ours.”

Regarding Admiral Carroll's question, Marshal Trafalgar did not answer directly, but asked: "Then what do you think we should do next, Carroll?"

"Yes, Marshal. This is what I think."

Admiral Carroll saluted Trafalgar, then sat on his command seat and skillfully operated the huge holographic projection platform.

Soon, the star map occupying the front of the podium began to zoom in and out, showing the full view of the Lysidios galaxy and several nearby galaxies. Then a large number of arrows and symbols were added, and the entire star map was also on Carol. The description turned into a schematic diagram of a combat plan.

Trafalgar, who was sitting next to Admiral Carroll, couldn't help but smile with approval as he looked at the schematic diagram of a battle plan that was as precise and clear as a textbook.

"Carol, your picture homework is still so good. I remember when you graduated from the Naval Academy, your score on the picture homework exam broke the academy record, and it seems that it has not been broken yet?"
