Him and their stars.

It took Yu Lian nearly 5 minutes to return to the bridge, and Admiral Paul Ferragu, the official commander of the task force, was also waiting for him on the line for 5 minutes.

There is one thing to say, if it is replaced by a very typical leader who is successful and narrow-minded, this time is enough for the two to become enemies.

However, Admiral Ferragu did not express any dissatisfaction, at least he couldn't see it on the surface.

Seeing Yu Lian, the well-fitting general immediately showed a smile as amiable as Santa Claus: "I'm sorry, General Yu Lian, I was too anxious. Hahahaha, it's time for you to get along with me for a while." You know, I'm a short-tempered person, but I really don't have any bad intentions. If you offend me, you must bring it up in person. "

"You really made the lower officials feel ashamed. The lower officials will fully cooperate with the task force's subsequent return to China." As a mature adult, Yu Lian certainly showed a proper business expression.

Admiral Ferragu was very satisfied.He didn't expect this young and famous young man to be convinced by himself, but as long as he had a correct attitude, it was enough.

Anyway, everyone needs time to get along day and night, that is, the little time to lead the task force composed of four main gods to return to China, and it should still be able to maintain a superficial harmony.

As a result, his smile became even brighter, and even his teeth were exposed.

Admiral Ferragu is 70 years old this year, probably because he is fat in middle age, full of food and inactive all day long, and he is indeed the fattest soldier Yu Lian has ever seen.Fortunately, he was still in the obese stage after all, pinching his nose and rounding it up, he could barely be considered strong, at least not bloated.

Generally speaking, chubby old people are generally very kind and amiable.Anyway, Yu Lian's first impression of this old general who took his military power was good.

From the looks of it, the evaluation of the old man's style may not be objective.

Prior to this transfer, Admiral Ferragu held the positions of Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard and Director of Reserve Training.However, we need to know that the Blue Star Community is a federal system, with great local autonomy.The financial power and even the personnel power of the local security force are actually held in the hands of the local star sector government.The so-called commander-in-chief of the national garrison has the power to dispatch the troops of the national garrison only in times of all-out war.

It all depends on the face of the local government.

It is conceivable that he should be a relatively marginal person among the generals in the presidium of the National Defense Committee.Everyone knows that the reason why this old man can get into this position is simply because he is the best friend of Mao Yuanzuo, the behind-the-scenes leader of the Communist Party of China, and must represent the Communist Party of China to maintain the right to speak in the top military.

Of course, it may be because he has been marginalized for a long time, and when he is about to retire, he finally got such a majestic dispatch. Admiral Ferragu should be in a good mood.

"I'm in the Turanca galaxy right now, and I'm preparing a celebration banquet for everyone. Hahahaha, this time I'm going to make some side dishes myself. Hohohoho, Brother Yu Lian, you don't know! Even if your grandpa, Mr. Liu, God of Cookery, back then he valued my talent and income very much." He wiped the corners of his eyes, showing a sighing expression: "Who would have known that the world is impermanent, and I would actually embark on the road of joining the army?"

It is indeed quite impermanent.Yu Lian also felt that if General Fei Lagu hadn't been accepted as a confidant by Mao Yuanzuo, he might have been able to go to Longlin Palace to serve as the imperial cook for Emperor Eliser, and his potential influence might be higher than that of the generals of the community. .

He just chatted with his new boss for a few words before he found an opportunity to say: "In addition, everyone rushed back day and night according to the schedule of the National Defense Commission. The soldiers are very tired..."

"I understand, I understand. We have already arranged with the embassy. All the soldiers who participated in the snake killing operation can get the lowest 800 credit star consumption coupons."

"Coupons?"

"Yes, consumption coupons can be used in all the space cities in Turanca. It is a benefit for everyone." He waved his hands, as if he didn't need to thank me, this is what I should do.

Well, the consumption vouchers are consumption vouchers, as long as they can be used.Yu Lian was not going to care about how these things came about.

He added: "In addition, I have also arranged a berth for warship maintenance. It is on Platform 16 of the Poseidon Ship Group. All slipways, maintenance technicians, and pilot ships are on standby. After you arrive in Turanka, Just follow the instructions of the alliance pilot ship and enter the slipway, and you can start working immediately."

It is now July 833, 7 in the common calendar, which is 6 days earlier than the original time.The timetable given by the National Defense Committee was already very tight, but everyone was still able to arrive ahead of time. One can imagine how hard it was.

Of course, people are one aspect. We are all soldiers, and we can understand that it is hard work.The young officers and soldiers should take a few days off, eat, drink, soak in a sauna and so on, and their morale should be restored.However, after a battleship has been operating at full capacity for a long time, it needs rest more than the crew.

If the necessary maintenance is not carried out, it is not bad to be able to exert half of its combat power.On this point, the Maozi Second Pacific Fleet on another timeline naturally has a great say.

The warships of the ocean age need it, and the warships of the space age also need it.

Yu Lian looked at the entry plan sent by the other party, and found that all the steps were done meticulously and accurately, so he immediately took a high look at this Admiral Ferragu.Since the other party has made such an appropriate arrangement, he is also qualified to be a fleet formation staff officer based on his real skills.

At this time, Admiral Ferragu was a little more serious: "Because you arrived three days in advance, the maintenance work can be done more meticulously. During this period, I originally thought that I could let the soldiers go to Nefe for a vacation. Even the cruise ship has been contacted. It’s just, you know… Nefe’s side is a bit sensitive at the moment, and we need to be more cautious. Therefore, during the maintenance period, the officers and soldiers can rest, but they are not allowed to leave Turanca .I hope you can communicate well with everyone in advance.”

Yu Lian felt that this was his duty, so he naturally agreed.

"In addition, our time is relatively limited. Once we set off, we still need to travel day and night to return to China as soon as possible. Therefore, during the vacation, everyone can rest, but they can't play too wildly. I know the soldiers will definitely have Resentment, but I hope you can try to appease him as much as possible." His expression was a little helpless, and even a little apologetic.

Yu Lian thought to himself that you, 800 Xinxing, could say less, say more, but not much, how could you go wild?

Admiral Ferragu said with a bitter face: "The National Defense Commission has given a new plan. We are asked to go back to the country in the direction of the Gibraltar galaxy."

Yu Lian was slightly taken aback.You must know that the timetable given by the National Defense Committee is for the task force to return home from the "eastern" border of the alliance, pass through the jump channel between the first cantilever, pass through the territory of the Coordinating Minister of Turan, and follow the Fermo Nebula's route "goes south", returning home from the "high seas" between the Kingdom of Circe and the Principality of Hyal.Then you can enter the new Atlantis star area of ​​the community.

This route is the shortest route back home, but there are many pirates on the road, and the Principality of Hyal is a vassal state of the empire, and it is not completely safe to confront the Kingdom of Circe.

...However, what kind of bicycle do you need for a formation of four of the most cutting-edge main god-class dreadnoughts in the universe?Who cares about pirates?
Yu Lian felt that the reason why the National Defense Commission asked the task force to march like this was to deter the Principality of Haiyal.After all, the two countries have fought for so many years, and the refugees have severely impacted the border of the new Atlantis star region of the community.

Strictly speaking, the "Christmas Uprising" in Lone Night City at the end of last year is also inseparable from the refugee issue.

In short, taking this route, the soldiers of the task force still have plenty of time, and it also has a certain marginal benefit of "naval gun diplomacy", which is the most cost-effective.

But now, the National Defense Committee has changed its mind and requested to enter the country from the star port of Gibraltar, which is also the place of the outer ring fleet.

The "high seas routes" that will be passed on this route are all small countries with large forests, but the overall security situation is not bad, but the voyage is at least 9% longer than the previous route.It is a bit stretched to go back to China on September 20 as originally planned.

For a while, Yu Lian also felt that the National Defense Committee was a little unreasonable.However, if you think about it carefully, although the princes of the earth like to be monsters, although they are often not human, they are occasionally human.

He soon realized their intentions.

On the side of the Gibraltar β galaxy, there is the Nantian Gate leading to the New World, and it can also reach the defense zone of the Far Coast Nebula.

Yu Lian sighed: "Is the Ninth Fleet in the Far Shore Nebula under too much defensive pressure?"

Admiral Ferragu said helplessly, "You already know?"

How fresh, such a big thing, even if I don't want to know, it's impossible!Yu Lian thought, watching TV occasionally these few days, the news was overwhelmed by the tense situation in the far shore nebula.The battlefield media from all over the galaxy flocked over, just like they flocked to the Canchuan Galaxy to watch snake fighting two months ago.

However, there are all kinds of news about how this conflict started, but no one can give a precise conclusion.

"However, you can rest assured. The Ninth Fleet did fight the Kaitais several times, but they didn't take advantage at all. The scale of the battles was kept small. Everyone was very restrained."

"Very restrained?"

"Yes, very restrained. I will send you the detailed internal battle report." Admiral Ferragu said.

It is impossible to falsify the internal battle reports provided to senior officers.No matter how bad the community military is, it wouldn't be so bad.Yu Lian relaxed a little bit.

"The alliance and the empire are trying to mediate. The alliance's mission has just set off, and it is said that people from the empire have already arrived." Admiral Ferragu's voice seemed a little gloating: "The "Mugubai Treaty" has just been signed. Then there was a conflict. The Kaitai people are not sneaking up on us, they are clearly getting rid of their imperial master's dog chain and kicking the alliance's ass hard."

Indeed, the "Mugubai Treaty", which claims to have brought "peace for a generation", was driven by the alliance after all.There was a war in the Far Shore Nebula, and all the signatories of the treaty were naturally embarrassed, but the most embarrassing one was the Alliance.

"The diplomatic reputation of a great country has been abandoned like a shoestring. This is nothing like being kicked in the ass, it is clearly a slap in the face of the alliance." Yu Lian laughed.

Admiral Ferragu kept nodding, as if he saw his confidant: "Isn't it? According to my opinion, the alliance should have mobilized an army to kill it and crush the big cat Kaitai."

"So, what was the Alliance's reaction?"

"Nothing, just sent a mission. Who told them to have a hard time recently?" Speaking of which, he couldn't help shaking his head and bawling: "What the hell, how did the alliance become That's it! It's like a cosmic lighthouse. Sure enough, this kind of system is just a strong foreign power."

Yu Lian naturally expressed his understanding.As for what the situation on Neffi's side has become, it is definitely impossible for him to discuss it with Admiral Ferragu, although the chubby old man looks like he really wants to pull him into politics.

The subsequent situation was naturally calm.Anyway, he has already entered the hinterland of the alliance. If there is any danger, Yu Lian will naturally leave all the routine work to Captain Tovey and Chief of Staff Mkawa.

In this way, on July 833, 7, at 7:16 galactic standard time, all warships, including the Fuxi, entered Turanca's No. 15 dock platform in an orderly manner.The officers and soldiers on board had not disembarked yet, and the technical members who had been waiting for a long time had already started working.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yu Lian always feels that the maintenance team of the alliance seems to be acting too eagerly, as if you have to get out as soon as the boat is ready.

However, it must be admitted that whether it is the orderly entry of ships into the port or the handover of work, they are indeed accurate to the second.Yu Lian now feels that, based on the level of overall planning alone, the fat old man who was born as a cook is definitely qualified to join a large expeditionary fleet and be the deputy commander in charge of fleet operations.

Well, someone who is used to being an executive chef should actually be very good at making arrangements, right?
So, who said that cooks can't be famous?Heroes always emerge from among the working people.

Although his cook is actually the owner of the imperial palace restaurant that has been on the earth for more than 200 years, and although his benefactor is Mao Yuanzuo, the general of the empire, we cannot deny the future just because of his past.

Speaking of which, this old man is not well-known in the future in another timeline, and it can only be said that the changing times are unpredictable.

perhaps……

So, until the celebration banquet arranged by Admiral Ferragu, Yu Lian was a little more sincere in the exchange of wine and wine with the other party.The high-ranking military officers who had been worried about whether the old and the young would be torn apart in public breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, some people may be secretly disappointed in their hearts.But it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that at the banquet, Yu Lian finally met his long-lost friend and lieutenant, Lieutenant Colonel Chester Rossers.

"...So, you actually made the overall planning of these fleet maintenance? You were also the one who contacted the technical team of No. 16 slipway and the Poseidon fleet?" Yu Lian looked at Luo Zeshi and suddenly realized.He said why he always felt that something was wrong.

Luo Zeshi smiled and said, "However, it is indeed Commander Ferragu who approved my plan and ensured its implementation. This can naturally be regarded as his contribution."

Yes, the staff has made a successful plan, of course it must be the commander's credit, and the army of all countries has such a tradition.Don't forget that student Luo Zeshi is no longer Yu Lian's adjutant, but a member of the staff department.

However, Yu Lian always felt that things should not be so simple.
