Chapter 154 "53"

C12-313, Philisten... C12-313, Philisten...

"Cough cough!"

Grass!
Dover!
Scare me!
"Why did you sneak out in a hurry with your head down, did the captain tell you something bad?"

Almost subconsciously, he put the things in his hand into his pocket. Fortunately, he was carrying Dover on his back, otherwise he would probably have to drag on this issue again.

"That's not true, who would have imagined that you would squat outside and wait for me, didn't the captain just let you go..."

"I'm back."

"It's just a message, it doesn't take much time."

Quite curious, he leaned towards me, obviously this guy keenly noticed that my state was wrong.

"It's okay, it's okay, you have been squatting here for a while, you can't just talk nonsense with me, right?"

It's better to get the topic out of the way first, this guy is smart and ruthless, let him talk about things first.

"I've already arranged things over there, and now I mainly want to talk to you about the details."

After seeing me hold back my laughter and help him pinch the collapsed collar, Dover, who wanted to continue asking, was also taken aback, and then put on a more serious expression.

"We will hold a press conference later and provide everyone present with a part of the data information held by the navy."

"The ship will also exit the transition at this time and enter the planned galaxy, and then it's time for you to perform."

"We will arrange for you to sit with the most suspected people. You only need to hold the electrodes with peace of mind, and then find..."

"Gu~ Gulu!"

Uh... If I remember correctly, the purpose of my coming out just now seems to be to find something to eat, right?

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I'm a little hungry."

As a result, not only did he not eat anything, but he drank some hot tea just now, and now he is even hungrier.

But fortunately, some things can be regarded as advancing. Although I got involved in a new pit for no reason, I also got important intelligence news and promises to get investigation data.

Speaking of which, yes, why are there two captains on this ship...

"Well, let me take you to eat something first. Listening to the movement in your stomach, I'm afraid you will starve to death later."

Hmph, not at all.

"Then trouble you."

"Um……"

"What do I need to do then?"

"Follow me, reject all other people's suggestions, and agree to all my suggestions."

What do you mean?
Reject all other people's suggestions, and then agree with all his suggestions?
It sounds very simple, but I always feel weird, will it really go so smoothly?
Following Dover along the way, I also enjoyed the treatment of an officer, and the navy soldiers passing by all saluted us.

Although I didn't wear a uniform, nor did I hang any badges such as military ranks and ribbons, but these cheap labor recruited from various colonial galaxies obviously didn't think that a fool could follow an officer on a busy ship and wander around.

"Dover?"

"Humph?"

"I have a question……"

Wait a minute, judging from the situation just now, the relationship between Dover and Silune is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface, so if I ask directly, will he find an excuse to hide it?

Feeling my hesitation to speak, the young officer who was swaying in front of me and seemed quite happy also turned around and winked at me.

"What's the matter, do you still have any doubts about what you just said?"

It's not like that, is it?
Sylune is of a different race, and Dover seems to be an ordinary human being, and he shouldn't be an illegitimate child in a bloody plot, right?
What are you thinking... how could there be so many illegitimate children, hey!

"That's not it, I want to ask Xiluen..."

"By the way, why are there two captains on this ship? Didn't one captain come forward when the information was released before?"

Now that we've already reached this point, let's just ask.

"Haha, so you were wondering about this."

Maybe it was a little funny to see my twitchy appearance, Dover laughed dryly twice, and then squeezed the collar that I had just pinched again.

"Indeed, according to common sense, as the supreme commander of a warship, there should indeed be only one captain."

"But is there a possibility that in addition to the commander of the ship, there is also the commander of the fleet?"

The commander of the fleet...?
I seem to understand a little bit?
So... Sylune's military rank is Brigadier General?
"You mean, Xiluen is the fleet commander?"

"It's a long story. Our establishment is a standard alliance small-scale reconnaissance fleet. Originally, there were four ships in the fleet..."

If there were originally four ships...

"Two 'Weimang'-class force field reconnaissance ships, which are ships of this class, and two 'Diggins'-class cruisers."

"A ship's duty time has reached the planned maintenance limit, and it is now berthed in the Naval Assembly Space Station of Comet III for maintenance."

"One was hit by a torpedo in the previous operation. Although it was not serious, the two sets of shield confinement coils were burned. Now it is also moored at the shipyard for maintenance."

Fortunately, at least it doesn't look like a tragedy...

"The third ship was sunk by pirates while rescuing the wreckage of the cargo ship... so now the fleet commander stays on this ship."

When it came to the sinking, Dover shrugged at me, looking completely helpless, as if the tragedy had nothing to do with him.

"Fuck, why is the cruiser of the regular navy sunk by pirates?"

"Don't underestimate pirates, even some criminal groups have very advanced technology and have their own unique shipbuilding technology."

"It even surpasses in some respects, even far ahead of our regular navy, do you know?"

He's not going to give the example of the Porges particle board, is he?

"Porges particle board, you should have heard of it?"

Grass, really!
"By sacrificing the characteristics of electromagnetic signals to obtain additional energy supplements and stronger active signal locking capabilities, the advanced technology that is now widely used on new attack battlecruisers comes from these interstellar pirates who are good at using small things to make big gains."

"It should be said to be a criminal group."

Doful paused, and then corrected his speech.

"How many people survived on the sunk ship?"

Still in the Sovereign Galaxy, the warships of the regular army can be sunk by pirates. It seems that this world is far less peaceful than ordinary people imagine, right?

Thinking about it, I have already survived the dead, and I have stolen it several times. I don’t know if I will have such good luck the next time I am killed...

After all, a miracle is a small probability event, you can't expect it to happen every time, right?
"Hmph, okay, let's go. There may not be any delicious food in this restaurant. If you continue to dawdle like this, you may be really hungry to do things."

He also didn't answer my question directly, but he chatted like he was talking about it, and changed the subject bluntly.

"Okay, let's go then."

It seems that the situation is not very optimistic, it was a sneak attack... According to his description just now, it should be a sneak attack, right?
The ship that was attacked and sunk probably sank without even issuing an escape order...

Thinking of this, I actually shivered, as if I saw the scene of my icy corpse floating farther and farther in space.

It's so scary, please don't let this crazy idea happen...

Although in the colonial era, people have become the least valuable thing, and some publications even openly marked them as "low-value consumables", but these dead people also have their own families, right?

Whose parents are they?

Whose child is it?

Whose husband and wife are they?
Whose siblings are they?

I am full of joy looking forward to the money sent by my family far away in the sky, but I can only get a one-page obituary about the sacrifice of honor...

It seems a little cruel to think of it this way.

But this is war, they, we... what can we do?

Yeah, like the line from the Empire classic "Yesterday's Comedy":
"This once colorful world has become more and more uneven, and we all have our own misfortunes struggling in it, but what can we do?"

What can I do besides trying to survive and struggle hard?

"What's the matter, you have been silent since just now, do you think something is wrong?"

Keenly aware of my abnormality, Dover stopped again and began to carefully observe my facial expressions, trying to read something from it.

Don't waste your emotions, I think I can control my face better to prevent my emotions from overflowing, at least this guy can't see any obvious abnormalities like this.

"It's nothing, but after hearing that a ship was sunk, I don't know why I feel a little depressed."

At least I'm telling the truth, I'm not someone who likes to make up lies to deceive people, right?
"Ah, this ah..."

After hearing a fairly reasonable answer, Dover seemed to be relieved, which seemed a little funny.

"This is normal, right? For a recruit like you who is sailing on a ship for the first time, it is really easy to panic when you hear such bad news. After all, we may be sunk at any time, not to mention you are not even a New recruits."

"No, don't we all have a little tail behind our buttocks?"

"Maybe, just in case, this time we have a chance to go down to the river to take a bath~!"

poor bad joke...

Although I knew he was trying to make me less nervous, this flamboyant acting was really not up to the mark.

"I finally understand why Xi Luen wanted to find someone reliable to help him with this matter."

"Eh?"

"Lin Man!"

"What do you mean!"
