Predatory map of ominous birds

At the beginning of the 486th year of the Imperial Calendar, Major General Rudolf von Fafnir left Odin with his fleet of [-] ships and headed for the distant Aigenhertz star field.His fleet chief of staff is still Colonel Gustav von Schuttke Hajan, and there are still some shortages in the fleet, which will be dispatched by the Ministry of Military Affairs to make up for it after the fleet arrives at its destination.

Among the 17 ships of the Fafnir fleet, there are [-] battleships, [-] lightning striker motherships and [-] Wanger Gulei motherships, [-] cruisers and [-] destroyers. , of the remaining [-] ships, there are [-] supply ships and [-] work ships, and the last [-] ships are half of the assault landing craft and half of the reconnaissance ships.The entire fleet has [-] officers and soldiers, including nearly [-] marine troops, led by Major Dick von Carr.

After a two-month voyage, the Fafnir fleet arrived in the Aigen Hertz star field.The local nobles, chief executives, and military chiefs in the star field sent local police fleets and private soldiers to welcome the arrival of the fleet directly under the empire.

"It seems that the higher-ups seem to want to rectify..."

"I don't know what kind of person the major general transferred this time is?"

"Shall we pull him to make a fortune together?"

"Let's wait and see. The most important thing now is to restrain those actions a little bit, and don't give excuses to those bureaucrats from the central government."

These whispers under the surface of the water are constantly communicating and fermenting on the planetary ground and in the cosmic space.

The Fafnir fleet did not do anything after staying in the planetary orbit, the ground space port, and the wharf of the ship factory. It just began to let the officers and soldiers leave one after another, and a large number of soldiers poured into the commercial area of ​​the planet. Consumption in red-light districts and tourist areas—and Colonel Shutekhajan’s subordinates also began to mix in with the soldiers to collect information on this star field.

"Don't worry at all. I guess the top management on this planet should be rotten. Let your people find out first and see what industries those people occupy." Major General Fafnir told Colonel Shutkehaojian explain.

Odin, Brigadier General Mittermeier, brought his wife, Affintherin, to his parents' house.He was very surprised to find that old Mittermeier was not working in the garden as usual, but was sitting at the table drinking beer with a chubby young man.Old Mittermeier stood up when he saw his son and daughter-in-law coming in, and the young man also stood up and saluted.

"Oh, this is Dallus Mittermeier, your cousin. His grandfather is your great-uncle, and his father also studied with my cousin when he was young. Dallus also came here when he was a child. Yes, you played together. Remember, Wolfgang."

"I remembered. Cousin Dallus, you are still as fat as when you were a child." Mittermeier immediately thought of this cousin.

"Why are you free to come today? I remember that you live in the star field in the interior of the empire, and it will take several months to come here. By the way, I remember that you also became a soldier of the empire, as my father said before."

"Dales reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs this time, and he has a new place of work. You were not there during the previous reports, so I didn't meet you." Old Mittermeier said.

"Cousin Wolfgang, I am also a major of the Empire. Don't you forget that I am a graduate of the Accounting Department of the Imperial Military Academy? This time I came because I was assigned to Fafnir, where the Aigen Hertz star field resides. Serving as the Lieutenant Commander's logistics staff in the fleet. Will be leaving soon."

A few Mittermeiers sat together drinking beer and chatting. After dinner, Dallus Mittermeier left.He will immediately take the Imperial Communications Ship to Aigen Hertz to report.

"Yah? We're going to war again? Oh... no wonder, this year marks the [-]th anniversary of His Majesty IV's ascension to the throne, 'to teach the rebels a profound lesson'. Fortunately, we don't have our share." Major General Fafnir looked at the just passed The information sent by the FTL communication was told to Colonel Shutekhajan behind.

"By the way, how's the bottom line going?"

"The [-] local nobles were all involved in smuggling. They were divided into several factions to monopolize all smuggling channels, and at the same time they each recruited a group of administrative and military bureaucrats. The pirates are basically their hounds. For ordinary civilians It doesn't do much harm." Shutke Haojian reported solemnly, and then took out a portable computer and handed it to Fafnir.

"Okay, let me take a look. You go to work first. In short, all smuggling here must be 'eliminated'!"

Shutkehaojian saluted and returned to his office. He looked at the logistics staff who had just come to report—Major Dallus Mittermeier, "Dallus, we haven't seen each other for a while. You Go and sort out our logistics supplies first, and then if you have time, make a total of the things I sent to your computer within three days. Give me the report."

Regardless of Fafnir's plans, the third battle of Diamat has already begun in full swing.

Thirty-five thousand and four hundred warships under the command of Marshal Guregor von Muckenberga set off from Odin to the alliance star field to prepare for the "crusade".All the attention of the entire galaxy is concentrated on the Diamat star field, and all parties are nervously calculating and speculating on the progress of the battle.

"Shutke Haojian, how many did you receive?"

"3. Major General, how many beauties have you received?"

"Hahaha, they sent a whole dozen over to try and make things right. You're not worth it, Gustav. What a tragedy."

Fafnir laughed at his friends, proudly showing off the beauties he had received, while showing obscene [-]-D photos and little movies he had taken.

"Okay, Gustav. Get Carl ready! Give 'em a 'surprise'!"

In mid-February 486 in the Imperial Calendar, it was only five days since Major General Fafnir arrived in the Aigen Hertz star field.There is no record of what happened in the middle of the night on this day, and there has never been a "conscientious historian" who has carefully traced what happened that night.The only thing we know is that there are a total of fifteen local noble families in the Aijian Hertz star field, who have lived here for hundreds of years and have tens of thousands of relatives, all of which disappeared in this night.In the next few months, the news that "a certain nobleman was killed by meteorite space junk pirates while on vacation, travel, business and business in space, and there was no one alive in the whole ship" appeared in the newspapers. For Eigen Hertz, it was: "Bloody Half Year".And many chief executives and military officials were assassinated by "pirate rebels" one after another. Major General Rudolf von Fafnir who was stationed here clamored: "This is the deepest contempt for the imperial soldiers! We must revenge!".At the same time, a military prohibition order was launched in the entire star field.

Fafnir chased every smuggler and pirate ship on a cruise ship, started a gang fight, happily brandished his sword and killed all the people on the ship, and the cargo carried was labeled as the Imperial Army confiscated.In just half a year, the two behaviors of "smuggling" and "piracy" were extinct in the Aigen Hertz star field.But some items on the market are not missing at all, but they are all legal imperial goods now-although the imperial tax department has not received an extra Reichsmark tax.

"Now, this smuggling route is all ours, and the money is like a tide! Hahahaha"

"Your Excellency! Is it true that nothing will happen if we slaughter so many pigs?"

"Don't worry! From Odin's point of view, what's here is just a bunch of bumpkins. Fortunately, the third battle of Diamat that ended earlier attracted attention. And what we did was clean, And it also distributed a lot of dry shares to another group of pigs of Odin, even the Imperial Army received a lot of black benefits. Who will take care of it?!"

"By the way! Xiutekhaojian! Remember the helmets and masks of the armored uniforms of the whole army! Damn, I have long seen that mask is not pleasing to the eye! Three holes! I want to insert it and have a mess. No deterrence at all! Why is it designed in the shape of a skull! Remember to ask the factory to produce a fully simulated skull mask this time, and don’t give me an abstract thing like three holes! Remember to make the helmet a Roman with ear pads and a brim style." Fafnir said angrily, he had long been displeased with the helmet and mask of the imperial armor suit. "Try to modify the military uniform next time. This kind of military uniform is really ugly, similar to the tight uniforms of gays!"

"That will wait until your Excellency is promoted to marshal..."

"By the way, this is the report record of the Battle of Diamat. The golden retriever is so lucky! The opponents are all machines with zero IQ! He dared to turn before the enemy! If the opponent's ally is a fool or a stick Twitchy guy, it's time for us to attend the funeral of First-Class Admiral Mujere. He's a boy who violated military orders, a kid who likes to play tricks and tricks...he will suffer from him in the future! I just can't figure out why Miujer Marshal Kembelga won't punish this little guy?"

"Oh? The officer just received this report... Is the golden retriever really playing like this? It seems that his sister has a lot of face!"

"Okay, now the golden retriever is the admiral... Next time I go back to Odin, maybe I have to call him 'Lord Luo Yankram'..."

Just a week later, the official document of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Empire appeared, "Major General Rudolf von Fafnir has made great contributions to the fight against smuggling and pirates! He has been promoted to lieutenant general. Wang Qing and others will live up to their responsibilities and make new contributions!"

In this battle, both sides lost thousands of warships. None of the alliance's admirals died in battle, but the No.11 fleet suffered a lot of losses. However, the imperial army was also stopped by the alliance in subsequent attacks. equal casualties--to make up for the wounded hearts of the alliance...  

In July 486 of the Imperial Calendar, the Fafnir fleet was ordered to return to Odin for reorganization, and the Viscount Fafnir himself had to go to the palace for an audience—this was what senior officers of the empire had to do.

There were no surprises or regrets in this interview.On the same day, Lieutenant General Fafnir went to the Space Fleet Command and the Military Affairs Department to salute Marshal Muckenberga and Marshal Allen Bock, Minister of Military Affairs. Finally, this guy completed the etiquette properly and was never pushed out by the military police again. As a result, he lost the face of the imperial officers.

Fortunately, his position has not been kicked to idle positions - just like Reinhardt now, he is still the commander of the Imperial Fleet, and the number of ships under his command has also been increased to 1000, and among them The number of battleships and motherships has also been enriched: 500 battleships; 2000 each for Thunderstrike motherships and Wangergulei motherships; 2000 cruisers; work ships and 150 supply ships; 400 reconnaissance ships and medical ships.What makes him most happy is that his personal flagship has been ordered for production, and it is estimated that this personal flagship will be available within this year: the flagship is the flagship of the Wilhelmina-class large fleet, which is the same type as the flagship of Marshal Mukenberga, and has been specially requested to strengthen Defense, speed, and communication command capabilities are sufficient to command a fleet of 400 ships. As for the name of the ship, the lieutenant general himself will name it after it is launched. Fafnir has already reserved the name of the ship "Rocky".

Not long after, an interesting thing happened. A certain marquise failed in her attempt to assassinate a certain countess, and that countess, Viscount Fafnir, had also met at the reception of the nobles back in Odin. "The one I saw back then was Countess Griwald, the older sister of that blond boy... Aah, the old emperor is really a sexual blessing. But I remember that she loved that red-haired... I think it will be very interesting in the future things happen."

A certain Marquise was given to death... "What a waste! The Marquis of Penny Mindy is actually very good-looking. Can't you let the brothers have fun before giving death?" Fafnir thought in his mind Turning the idea of ​​treason.

In August 486 of the Imperial Calendar, it did not happen in March as in the original book, and it happened after the assassination of the marquise failed. It was sent by the Duke of Blanchebeck, an important town among the powerful and nobles, that he wanted to entertain His Majesty the Emperor in his private residence and hold a banquet for senior military officials. and their wives' feast of friendship.Viscount Fafnir also received invitations, and those who are eligible to attend the banquet are all Brigadier General and above, that is, people with the title of "Your Excellency".Colonel Shotekhajan was unable to attend.And it is stipulated that "regardless of active service, retired service, and reserve service" can be used, which is probably to gather more nobles.Complete the three items of frills, emptiness, and waste, and it will probably be a grand banquet.

The light of the crystal art lamp strangely casts a hypocritical impression on the noisy crowd of gentlemen and ladies.Yihuang

The emperor's guest seats are in the center, the highest-ranking noble seats are lined up, and the standing seats are prepared on the outside.treat guests like this

It is very rude to classify as high-ranking, but this is originally a banquet held by the host to show off his status.Of course, Fafnir was just a standing guest, and Reinhardt was opposite him.

After the Duke of Blanche Baker stood up to greet him amid applause, he continued.

"The Imperial Household Ministry came to inform that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly felt abdominal pain on the way to the venue, and turned back to the palace halfway. Very soon

Sorry to be unable to attend this time.I hope you enjoy the water, wine and food. "

Among the visitors, there were quite formal voices of disappointment, but in fact, for the lack of personal charm and wisdom,

No one sincerely regrets the emperor's absence.The Duke of Blanchebeck's eyes stopped on a seat.

"Where is the Marquis of Crampshotek?"

"This... I haven't seen him since just now."

Because the Marquis's seat was empty, Meng Hua's chair, which was only five or six steps away from the emperor's guest seat, took up space for nothing.in the chair

There is a black box at my feet.The aroma of the steamed milk cow served in wine on a silver plate is gradually cooling down.

Reinhardt was standing by the wall with a wine glass in one hand, when there was a rough sound.

"Oh! This is really... the brave and unparalleled soldiers of the empire, and the gorgeous geniuses are here too?"

Reinhard used the filter of will to cover up the expression of disgust and insult flashing in his eyes.Although he hated almost all the pretensions, the Baron Felger standing in front of him was the one who was farthest from Reinhardt's favor and hobbies.He is five years older than Reinhardt, currently 24 years old, and has the rank of a reserve major general, but this is because he is bestowed as the nephew of Brunschbeck, not because of his courage or military skills.The young man was incredulous about Reinhardt's promotion to general, but he had no doubts about becoming a major general without battlefield experience.The benchmark of his value judgment is only based on the presence or absence of historical vested rights, and his evaluation of Reinhardt is likened to the harm of destroying the garden.

bird.

There was no spark between the two.Because before that, a guy stepped in, grabbed a large piece of cream cake and started to devour it. Baron Felgel just wanted to accuse this kind of behavior without style, but found that it was Fafnir Viscount.He also had no choice but to retreat powerlessly - what's the use of accusing a man who has no integrity at all?At this time, a group of ladies came to call out, and Baron Felger walked over.There seemed to be some miasma floating behind him.

On the front of the hall, the portrait of the Beastmaster looked down on Reinhardt and the others from a high pedestal.That is the figure depicted since he ascended the throne at the age of 34.He is 99 centimeters tall, weighs [-] kilograms, and has a powerful body with thick chest and broad shoulders.Burgundy hair.There is no mane under the nose and chin, and the side temples with rippling sideburns are impressive.He is not an elegant and handsome man, but a majestic man full of strength and vigor, who regards dominating others as the highest value, the figure of an extremely powerful ruler.I can't help but wonder if the lives of human beings and the fate of great empires are heavier on these shoulders.An object of transcendence, not of awe.

There was a little noise.A certain baroness fell to the ground due to anemia, and immediately raised a burst of shouts, "Call the doctor!"

But for the time being, there must be a seat for the wife.

"Borrow the seat of Marquis Klopschutek for a while, and move that box away.

The body of the baroness was placed on a chair by the waiter, and the black box was handed over to a young nobleman.The belongings of distinguished guests cannot be disposed of at will.For the time being, it will be kept on the frame table next to the entrance. If the guest forgets to take it back, it will be later

It has to be sent back.

The box is about to be moved out of the hall.

At first there was light and heat, and a moment later, loud noises and storms swirled.
