Him and their stars

Chapter 760 Enrichment
Yu Lian reckoned that the center of the earth should provide some support to Yang Xiyi, but not too much.To put it bluntly, until now, the colonies of the empire have been ravaged by predators, and maybe the big shots of the earth people are just busy gloating.Of course, there must be some who feel the same, as if it is not the empire that suffers, but their own father.

It's just that the fire hasn't reached his own house yet, no matter how anxious the big shots are, they can't go anywhere.

"I reckon that the greatest support that Marshal Paris can give to the colonies through the headquarters is the army." Yu Lian paused: "If you want money, you have to go through the National Defense Commission, or special approval from Congress... um , but Chairman Nishita wants to pass the party's primary election and run for the next president, so he can't cause trouble for his colleagues in the party at this time, right?"

Eleanor nodded, shook her head again, then turned her head to the side, facing Yu Lian with a side face, and said solemnly: "After Gan Jiang and Miss Moxie finished the divination for me, they brought Yi Na, and Captain Meng Jiao left together. It has been more than a month now. Counting the time, it is indeed time to return. This is the fourth exploration of that star field in the past half a year. I hope There may be some gains."

"... More than half a year?"

"Yes! Our exploration of the URX46 star field began in August last year. Isn't it more than half a year now? Of course, for safety reasons, it is best to compress the exploration time to one About a month. Now this is the fourth time."

So what the hell are you guys doing?Really found a mithril mine in the URX46 star field, and then intercepted it?

In addition, what roles did my two nieces and nieces play?And take away all the psykers in the fleet?
Yu Lian was indeed curious, but Eleanor's tone was still tight.Since she didn't want to say it, she naturally couldn't ask.Besides, Yu Lian wouldn't be bloodless enough to control his senior sister.

But, then again, even if the psykers weren't present, the fleet dared to bring them out to fight, and I don't know if it was audacity or madness.Are you not afraid of being jumped gang?
"If I'm really incompetent enough to be attacked by pirates, even if Yi Na and the others are here, I should kill myself to thank the soldiers." Eleanor said triumphantly.

What is there to be proud of?If you really cut yourself off for this reason, there will not be one more warrior who would rather bend than bend in history, but only one more foolish and foolish person.

"And didn't we discuss how the fleet should fight without psykers when we were students? Now I'm just turning my youthful dreams into reality." Eleanor sneered: "It's a certain These people, after becoming psykers, are they going to draw a line with us mortals, right?"

Yu Lian thought that I hadn't drawn a clear line, so it must not be me that senior sister was talking about.

"Of course, I really had a little heartbeat. Chief Mark Love has criticized me. But now that you have Yuli and Fina, you don't have to worry about that."

In this way, the Scarlet Throne officially joined the formation of the Thirteenth Fleet, and began the formation training while conducting the final combat readiness cruise.

At this time, a total of [-] crew members transferred from various ships also boarded the Throne, and quickly filled the important departments of the ship.

This even included a large fleet of multi-purpose fighters, all dialed directly from the Lexington and Saratoga.Ever since, the spacious hangar of the Throne is finally not so empty that it can play celestial balls.

The captain in charge of commanding the fighter planes is Lieutenant Colonel James Dutt, who was transferred from the Ninth Fleet in the second half of last year. He is an excellent pilot and commander of medium build and energetic.

Although Yu Lian met the other party for the first time, it was not the first time he heard his name.In the era of the Volunteer Army in his previous life, this top pilot was already old, so naturally he couldn’t fly the plane himself, but he served as an instructor and trained quite a few outstanding flying warriors for the Volunteer Army. celebrity.

...Of course, there are too many famous people who have talked and laughed with him, Yu Lian is already very calm.Now, he is the biggest celebrity in the entire fleet, at least half of the people in the galaxy have heard of his name.

In addition, to Yu Lian's delight, this brigade also includes four test aircraft, which are the X-21 experimental fighters "jointly designed" by the Red Star Design Institute and Farcon Corporation, and are currently temporarily named "White Aircraft" by the military. devil".

This fighter, which was born at an untimely timeline in the previous timeline, may be able to bloom fragrantly because it appeared in advance.

What is even more gratifying is that among the four pilots of the "White Devil" test aircraft, Li Baolu and Martha Daken were included.These two "old" comrades who participated in the Navy Festival together and participated in the Far Shore Campaign together are now also lieutenants.

"Is that thing installed?" Yu Lian asked.

"It is installed. However, the officers said that there is no need to expose it in advance when dealing with pirates, so it has not been used in actual combat." Li Baolu smiled knowingly.It was hard to see such an expression on the face of this innocent child.

"Indeed, even if you don't use that thing. The performance of the white devil is by no means inferior to the purple electric dragon that the empire has just finalized. Don't you both rely on the ace? Come on, next year, we can convince the military to take down Decided to change clothes!"

Li Baolu immediately geared up and said that having a new fighter is equivalent to having a new sword, and he was waiting to test the sword with the Predator's dreadnought, totally forgetting that he was on the Predator's dreadnought right now.

Until he was kicked by his girlfriend Martha, he didn't understand why.

Then, the temporary chief mate of the Throne also changed from Feifei who made up the numbers to Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu, the former captain of the Luoyang.

This experienced veteran officer is considered to be an old subordinate of her father's senior, and was born as a serious old seaman.For an officer in the "non-professional group" like him, if it weren't for a coincidence, it would be almost impossible to wear the general star when he retired.However, which admiral would not want his deputy to be this kind of old military officer who looks very hardcore?

Lieutenant Colonel Kong Qingyu is not yet sixty years old, but he is quite satisfied with his current situation.He felt that his career should have ten years left. As long as he didn't die in the flames of war, there was a high probability that he could be promoted to a higher level, and then he would be able to enjoy the treatment of a general and enjoy his retirement life—in fact, he would die in the flames of war immediately. Yes, this will add the pension of the same level to his family immediately.

In short, Lieutenant Colonel Kong didn't mind at all being the deputy of a junior who was more than [-] years younger than himself, and he didn't mind changing from captain to first officer at all.

After all, this is a dreadnought!The Commonwealth Navy has not had a new dreadnought for many years.His elite officers, who had graduated from the Naval Academy, were drooling over the dreadnoughts built by the Alliance.All the important positions on the new dreadnought are one carrot and one hole, and they have been snatched up by related households long ago.But it never occurred to him that he, an old and uneducated fringe person, was much earlier than them.

With this qualification alone, the general is stable!
Probably because of this, the first mate, who was almost sixty years old, burst out with the enthusiasm of a twenty-year-old young man.Every day, he led people to wander around the tens of kilometers long ship full of energy, knocking here and there, as if checking the teeth of animals.

Then, twenty-four hours later, he found Yu Lian: "It's really a good ship. It suffered such a big injury, but it didn't affect the normal sailing at all. To be honest, it's much better than our independent class." too much."

Yeah, the Marauder ships are ugly and green-skinned, but they're not weak at all.

Probably afraid that Yu Lian might misunderstand, the first officer hastily added: "However, after all, the Independence-class ship is decades old. Hahaha, it is almost as old as old age. If the alliance is building it for us The twelve Republic-class ships will definitely not be weaker than this."

Yu Lian thought it was hard to say.The nature of the experiment of that thing is still quite heavy, I really don't know why the order for twelve ships was placed all at once.Of course, considering that the last four ships were jointly built by the community and the alliance, it can be considered a good start.

Kong Qingyu said again: "It's just that the lower officer has checked the condition of the ship. The engine is fine, but the shield is actually a Sirius 4 type produced by the Toss Merchant Group. This is a battlecruiser-level shield. In order to ensure protection, a one-time Six more units have been installed. This actually poses a problem for energy efficiency. Also, the main gun..."

"The main gun was also bought from the Toss Merchant Group. In addition to the original ones of the predators, there is indeed no uniform nature and specification. The ability to fire salvos is all thanks to Dr. Xie, the chief technician, and a group of temporary workers. It was rubbed out." Yu Lian said with a smile: "If we encounter a dreadnought of the same specification, we will be no match at all."

"If you want to restore the combat effectiveness of this ship, it really needs to be overhauled frequently, and the internal devices also need to be replaced, at least replaced with domestic specifications, so as not to cause problems for supplies."

"That's right! It would be a pity if such a good ship could appear in its strongest form," said the first mate.

"You can chat with Dr. Xie to see if you can discuss a repair plan."

"We've already talked. The officer has never chatted with such a university student before." The lieutenant colonel's honest expression showed a hint of complacency: "In short, he also agrees with my point of view. If the ship wants to Participating in a high-intensity war really needs to be rectified."

"So, does it really need an overhaul?"

"If it is a complete overhaul, at least it needs to be driven back to the shipyard in Gibraltar, and it will take a year and a half to be completely repaired. However, since the Thirteenth Fleet put its first home port in New Lushun, Blue Label has built a large shipyard. At least it can be carefully prepared.” The first mate thought for a while, and then said: “At least it can be replaced by the standard type with armaments and shields.”

The main guns and shields used by dreadnoughts are not Chinese cabbage. You can find spare parts in any dry dock.

Yu Lian looked at the first mate, saw that the old man was still smiling energetically and confidently, so he also nodded tacitly and said: "Then, I will leave it to you."

"Thank you for your understanding." The first officer sighed with relief, and then, as if he had received the highest instruction, he devoted himself fully to the subsequent training and combat preparations.

The naval cadets of the Toss Merchant Group were embarrassed to find that their technical positions had been taken over by the military officers on Earth, and they were a little depressed for a while.

After all, not any naval cadet can have a dreadnought for them to play before they graduate.

So, Yu Lian told them that not every naval cadet can get the help and guidance of elite officers who have experienced many battles at close range, so you should learn to cherish it!

The naval students of the Tuos merchant group country are not students who have never left the ivory tower. Most of them are industry elites who have been on armed merchant ships for several years. Naturally, they understand society and reality very well.

Of course, after the earth officers and soldiers boarded the ship, the situation when they met with the original dozen or so imperial technical officers was somewhat embarrassing.Fortunately, the empire and the community are still "allies" after all, and there should be no unresolved hatred.As for the various "small border frictions" in the past [-] years of independence, the two sides have not all characterized it as a misunderstanding.Aren't you all members of the Galactic Civilization Council?

As long as the two parties don't cause trouble deliberately, let alone love each other, at least they can live in peace.perhaps……

After all, the imperial officers are alone and alone, and their leader, Colonel Sobaek, is still out of contact, no matter how violent he is, he will not cause trouble at this time.

On the contrary, Yu Lian was worried that his own officers and soldiers would make trouble.

After all, the core backbones of the Thirteenth Fleet were all involved in the battle off the coast, and their strong military temperament was based on the shame of the Imperial Army.Therefore, Yu Lian also specially called the officers for a small meeting, ordering them to restrain their subordinates and not to make trouble at this time.

"These are technical officers, not stormtroopers or astral knights. Even if you provoke these people, you won't show any skills!" Yu Lian said.

Yu Lian was also one of the commanders of the Battle of the Far Shore Nebula, and one of the founders of the Thirteenth Fleet. Even if the high-ranking psykers were eliminated, the status of the God of War offering the champion was enough prestige in the minds of these old subordinates. .

Therefore, they lined up their chests one after another to ask Chief Yu Lian to rest assured that we old subordinates will not pick up soft persimmons, and will definitely not embarrass you.

In this way, after rigorous running-in training, the "rabble" on the dreadnought became more capable, and they became more skilled in cooperating with the teammates of the [-]th ship.

According to the original plan, they conducted a few more days of combat readiness cruise along the "New Continental Highway" channel.During this period, two very small-scale actual battles also took place.

One was a small group of pirates whose names did not rank among the top [-] lives on the reward list. There were only two small boats in total, and they were preparing to rob a cold chain ship carrying frozen meat.

These pirates have all been reduced to robbing grain ships, and it is conceivable how miserable they are.

After seeing the arrival of the huge fleet of the Thirteenth Fleet, they naturally scattered like birds and beasts.Our own side didn't even bother to change the original channel, just smashed a volley of artillery in the direction of the pirate ships, sank one and severely damaged the other before giving up, and naturally didn't specifically pursue it.

Li Baolu suggested that he could take the lead in the battle, but it seemed that the fighting spirit was not too high. Obviously, he only proposed it out of the pilot's sense of responsibility.Yu Lian naturally rejected him.

On the contrary, the captain of the cold-chain ship, Buckway, was so grateful that he almost knelt down to everyone.

He said that he set out from the imperial colony to transport frozen meat to New Lushun and New Yumen.If he was intercepted this time and made a mistake, the liquidated damages alone would make him bankrupt.

In such an eventful time, he and his crew actually risked their lives to go on a voyage for transportation. It can only be said that this is the life of the working people.
