Chapter 1868: Marshal Yu is going to live to death?
The old general's tone seemed to be explaining his funeral, and it was indeed the case. Deng Zhengqing is not on the Xiaguang now, but on the Zhiyuan 015, a cruiser cruiser.
In fact, after the last battle to smuggle Shengyuan in the Jijiang Xinjiang failed, Brigadier General Bazan had already started preparing. He dispersed his command and staff members to all cruisers to ensure that every large ship had an excellent and prestigious officer without losing command at any time.
Lieutenant Colonel Deng Zhengqing was the youngest and the one that Brigadier General Bazan was most optimistic about.
Then, the Xiaguang turned his head and headed towards the imperial warships that rushed towards him. Although she was covered in bruises, she was still a heavy cruiser with strong combat power, and it was the most perfect cruiser in history, the imitation of the "Xing Sky-class". Her counterattack even made the Imperial Army temporarily lose its mind.
Twelve minutes later, the Shingoku, which was hit by a decisive counterattack, sank a destroyer, seriously injured a destroyer, and lost power when it was hit by the rear compartment.
Three minutes later, a sub-light-speed missile launched by an Imperial Falcon class destroyer pierced the dome of the bridge of the Xiaguang. The survivors of the fleet lost contact with the commander at that time.
The No. 1 ship of this Xiaguang-class heavy cruiser was generously killed with perfect results and resume. The time when she finally fell completely silent was at 16:27 Galaxy Standard Time.
This happened on March 26, 834.
"So, Brigadier General Bazan was actually killed in battle half a year ago?" Although Yu Lian was already mentally prepared for this matter, he was still sad.
Another veteran during the War of Independence, Yu Lian respected and admired.
Feifei nodded slightly: "This incident can be confirmed. The Empire updated their battle results information table on August 30, last week, and it was indeed the name of the Xiaguang number."
The Imperial Army was composed of a group of arrogant and cruel warriors. They were never noble saints, but overall they still paid great attention to the sense of honor of warriors. Since it is a war report that has been certified by the Privy Council and can be verified throughout the universe, it is impossible to make a fraud.
In other words, the reason why the war report was officially released after nearly half a year was that it had been rigorously verified.
Together with the Kasumi, there are seven Community Battleships destroyed in that galaxy. After they were sure that they could not escape, they launched a counterattack on the imperial warships that besieged them with a resolute attitude.
The remaining ten battleships are the light cruiser cruiser class 3, county class 2 and 5 destroyers, and finally seized this fleeting opportunity. They rushed directly to the transition coordinates with the most intact "Aachen 12" as the front arrow. Before them, there were only two light cruisers rushing towards them.
Major William Banner, the first mate of Aachen No. 12, took over the fire control system himself. His eyes were covered with blood, his expression suppressed his hideousness and anger, and his burly and huge body was even trembling. However, trembling is the body, but his arms are steady and full of strength. His condition was like an angry bull, but his movements were like a precise and efficient robot.
Aachen 12 continuously bombed the Imperial destroyer maneuvering towards its own fleet in a fierce pulse of artillery far exceeding the safety index.
In just half a minute, this warship that must have been renovated, broke out with crazy firepower comparable to an entire fleet, and tore a Apocalypse Eagle-class to pieces on the spot.
Another Gladiator-class showed obvious timidity, and made a soft reverse maneuver, which opened the distance of the Earth fleet and gave up its own defensive position.
How severe punishment should the captain of this destroyer be subjected to? Objectively, his approach is equivalent to evacuating his last interception network.
Immediately afterwards, three "Hunting Rabbit-class" destroyers that accelerated from the remaining airspace also stopped moving forward one after another.
Their alloy armor and shields trembled violently in the sudden explosion, as if they were mounted on a wall. This is the early deployment of the mines played a role.
In this way, the Imperial Fleet could only visualize the afterimage of the Community Fleet disappeared behind the Gravity Well. And those four battlecruisers never took action.
Afterwards, Deng Zhengqing analyzed that perhaps the goal of this imperial fleet was not himself, and the two sides were just encountering each other by chance.
But no matter what, this fleet of landslides still exists after all.
On the hulls of the ten Community Battleships that finally escaped, each square centimeter was engraved with scars left by imperial artillery fire, but their reactors were still singing, moving stubbornly towards the star field at the edge of the empire's cantilever.
The above is the report of the last battle of the Bazan fleet. After this, they seemed to be missing.
"So, what does this matter have to do with the Flame Pirates?" Yu Lian asked.
"This is fate. Just like what you said before..." Feifei said.
"Fate is wonderful?"
"It's time for heaven and earth to work together!" Feifei said angrily: "The Flame Pirates have an imperial background, you know that."
Of course Yu Lian knew it. He could even announce that no one knew the pirate better than himself, even himself, and nodded and smiled, "Huohuzi is a relative of the Duke of Poyi."
"The Break-Travel Fleet was deeply involved in the 'Diamond Nebula' and finally got rid of the pursuers. When they were about to enter the territory of Duke Boyi, they met members of the Flame Pirates." Feifei pondered for a moment and said, "To be precise, it was a smuggling ship specially used for trading with their masters. It was a legal merchant ship with a registered name in the Imperial House of Veterans. Mr. Edward was on the smuggling ship at that time."
"...Haha, he is very bold."
"You have also said that he is a relative of Duke Poyi, not His Majesty the Emperor."
This Duke of Poyi is of course one of the forty-five Dukes that founded the Morning Light Dynasty of the Galaxy Empire. His ancestors are naturally quite prominent, and they have also given birth to great figures such as the Chief of the Privy Council, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Marshal. There are also important Governors of the Colonial Military Control District like Earl Pertincha, which is an important newly conquered star zone.
Of course, such a glorious and prosperous family has declined a bit in recent years and has not shown a sense of existence in the center of the Tiandi for a long time.
Yu Lian also carefully recalled the Duke of Poyi on that virtual timeline. It took him half a minute to dig a little information in a certain gully in the cerebral cortex:
Since he is a famous family with a long history, of course he is an important member of the "Northern Allied Army" of Raush. The duke and a large number of core family members died in the Battle of Luyuan. The rest is naturally to eliminate the punishment of the whole family and demote it to a civilian three-piece set.
Then, that's all. He is just one of Yu Lian and Brenshilt's list of achievements in that strategic simulation gal game. It really doesn't have any presence.
However, they were at least much better than the Sobek family, which had become a civic class, and were also lucky than other families that had even lost their successors. At least their titles are still there, their titles are still there, and they even have local territory and army. If they say it, they are also princes.
At least when eating at the "Border Lord" table, you can still sit in the C position.
Of course, their territory has actually been replaced. In the era of Emperor Yiwenya, three hundred years ago, he moved from the ancestral land of the prosperous Gaolun Star District in the heart of the empire to the junction of the Hellosh and the Symoe zone.
...At least, the territory has expanded.
Regardless of whether this behavior is equivalent to using 100 acres of developed Shanghao paddy fields to exchange for 200 acres of saline-alkali land, just say whether the territory has been expanded.
In this case, it is a bit difficult for them to expect the Duke family to continue to be law-abiding. In fact, they not only have a relationship with the boss of Hei (Meow) Road in Dali City, but also gossiping with the alliance opposite through Pirate City. "Firebeard" Edward's ancestors were once a lie in the Imperial Colonial Government. They were the confidant promoted by the then governor Earl Bodingcha, so they became a relationship with the count's clan. Later, they naturally became hereditary retainer of Duke Boyi.
The Duke selected a promising young man from his own family, taught him, cultivated him, invested in him, and made him his own black glove. It was actually a very routine operation.
So, there was a Fiery Pirates.
They even built secret airports on the edge of their territory, specifically for the Flame Pirates to berth and private transactions.
After all, it is just the border prince territory sandwiched between the two outer ring star areas. Many inspections are just a formality, so naturally there is a lot of room for operation.
Anyway, aren’t the other border lords the same?
This is true for all the princes of the border in the Feimo Star Domain, in the Yunta, and in the Kaitai direction. Since the territory was given to him was called a prince, it was equivalent to giving these empire border nobles a certain degree of autonomy.
The princes on the border have their own troops, so it is reasonable to raise other teams that do private work.
There is no way, administration has its limits. As more and more conquered starry sky, the country becomes larger and larger. Even the dragon kings who are as powerful as the Dawn Royal Family can only try their best to incorporate the core star area into the unified management of the Prime Minister's Office. Administrative and public security forces will have a vacuum in the peripheral star area, so border lords of all sizes are always needed, and they must pay attention to mutual tolerance and forbearance for the country.
Haven't you seen, is the same with the alliance opposite? They have franchise countries, and there are abstract existences such as "the franchise king and alliance citizen".
In comparison, the Galaxy Empire at least has a very unified style.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
In short, on April 7, ten Earth warships, who were already in desperate situations, encountered a merchant ship Perkin 23, affiliated to Duke Boyi. Just as Edward, the "fire beard" of the merchant ship, extended a rescue hand to Deng Zhengqing.
Feifei said: "Mr. Edward himself said that he was a fellow earthling. He also told me that the more determined our resistance and the more brilliant our results were, the more respected they were on earth who settled in the empire. He still told me that this was his own decision and had nothing to do with the Duke. And the Duke never intervened in the management of the border star port."
"Have he really notified Duke Poyi? It's really just his own way?" Yu Lian pondered.
Feifei shrugged: "This doesn't matter. Edward, a firebeard, is a five-ring psychic. Even if he is really from a loyal family, the Duke's family will change their relationship from subordinate to cooperation."
Indeed, most of the time, status comes from power, and power comes from violence. It would be too naive if the Duke thought that he could make a psychic in the Five Rings, a gangster giant (meow) who had a look of his own in the abyss, bow to him.
It's so naive that it's like a female.
Of course, considering the history of the Duke of Poyi's family, they cannot be expected to be loyal ministers of the Galaxy Empire.
Yu Lian nodded slightly: "The Duke will have a small plan, and Huo Beard must also have his own ambitions."
The psychics of the Fifth Ring Road are scarce talents when they go to any part of the universe. Even if they go to the heavenly realm to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, they will definitely get a decent hereditary title. It is hard to say how many generations it can be passed on, but aristocrats are nobles, so why bother to be pirates?
Feifei nodded: "I even think that this is not an accidental encounter, but a voluntary delivery to the door. He is a high-ring psychic, and Diamond Nebula is his home court. There is always a way to find Zhengqing and others before the pursuers of the Imperial Army."
However, the above are all speculations of Yu Lian and Feifei.
The fact is that Deng Zhengqing accepted the kindness of Huobeard and led the fleet to rest in this inconspicuous remote star port for two months. Xinggang provided ships, materials, even energy and some ammunition, and Deng Zhengqing also handed over Aachen 12 as a life-buying money to Edward.
This warship has undergone a very crazy transformation at Xinshuntian Shipyard, and has greatly strengthened its firepower. During the Battle of Diamond Nebula, Banner's crazy operation was indeed a spoiled gun to kill an Imperial warship and successfully break through, but it also completely scrapped the main gun function of the bow.
But even so, it is a good ship that is difficult for a group of pirates to get.
"Firebeard" Edward said with emotion that Chief Deng is indeed a decent person, and even if he is in a mess, he will sooner or later become a godfather-level boss.
He decided to convert Aachen 12 into his flagship, so he brought it to Dazizai City, spent a lot of money to carry out comprehensive repairs, replaced it with a small naval gun and gravitational traction device of the Wanguo brand, and became more and more pirate ships.
I have to admit that the Great Liberty City is indeed a gathering of heroes. In this short time, the injured light cruiser was changed to the pirates' favorite shape.
Of course, the 4-link gravitational accelerator that was originally equipped was a good thing that even the black market in the city could not get, so naturally I was reluctant to dismantle. This is why Yu's subordinates noticed it at a glance, and then it evolved into a subsequent company situation.
Of course, this is all a story.
So he provided Deng Zhengqing with a star map, which was a waterway to enter the Symoe Star Region along the edge of the Duke of Poyi, and a base hidden in remote galaxies.
"This is a secret stronghold that our old lord used to run... Hey, after he ascended the throne, he gave up. However, the port and base are still there. The berth is spacious, and half of the energy array and small arsenal are built. You can go there for a while."
It can be seen that after Duke Boyi was moved to this edge of the star area by Emperor Yi Wenya, they were really unwilling to give up and wanted to do something.
However, whether it is indignation, resentment or hatred, they are fragile in the face of the torrent of time.
After Elathel the Great ascended the throne, they also stopped their little moves. Of course, I dare not continue to build secret military bases and arsenals.
As for whether to accept one's fate or to lie dormant, it means you know your own coldness and warmth.
After all, they just stopped construction and did not destroy it on the spot, let alone report it.
In short, the Duke left a fairly complete secret base in the information hiding in the cracks of the vast territory of the empire, which was enough to hide for the remnants of the destroyer fleet. If you are lucky, you might be able to start the sealed equipment repairing the ship.
The firebeard Edward told Deng Zhengqing that due to the Danhuer Star Uprising last year, the entire Symour Star Region was in a considerable degree of violent turmoil. As we all know, the more turbulent the area, the easier it is to hide. This is another concept of "Large in the city".
In addition, the Danhuer planet might be like this chaos that can directly affect Hei Luoshi and even the local direction.
At that time, the fleet might find a chance to escape.
Of course, they are more likely to be found by the Imperial Army's pursuit troops. This can only depend on the will of the spirit of the universe.
The above are all the transactions made by the Flame Pirates and Deng Zhengqing.
However, so far, no news has been received that the remnants of the fleet have been found, and they are highly likely to survive.
"Life to death. They did it." Yu Lian said.
"So, what are you going to do?" Feifei stared at Yu Lian, with thousands of words hidden in her eyes.
