Him and their stars

Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses and did not answer directly: "This planet is undergoing great construction, have you seen it?"

"I did see it. In fact, from the perspective of an industrial enthusiast who is not very professional, this planet is actually very suitable for industrial development. It can only be said that the previous colonial government spent the past twenty years doing nothing. Waiting to die.”

"Eh? If that's the case, haven't your family discovered the business opportunities here?" Akinayama Hachiman asked curiously.

"Haha, even the Mars Shipyard was burned down by the fire dragon. What can our family do? In the current Luo Che Industrial Group, all the directors named Luo Zeshi control less than 40% of the shares, and it is not even They are of the same mind. However, those directors who represent international banks and even the princes of the opposite empire are often very united. The elders of our family cannot convince the board of directors to invest in a business that will only see direct benefits ten years later."

At this point, Luo Zeshi sighed: "Hachiman, Yu Lian is right. Some people can't rely on businessmen."

Akinayama Hachiman said: "Fortunately, the Rumina people in Red Maple Factory really don't regard themselves as businessmen. They are really happy to see the coast of Tulong and the side of the ridge of Mount Kililo Large factories appeared, and we saw the sand people coming out of the era of barbaric city-states and nomadic tribes and entering factories and cities. For most sand people, as long as they see this, they will naturally identify with the people of the earth. The management of the community.”

Suddenly, Rozeshi felt a little unworthy of the leaders of the Sand People who had died in the various uprisings. If they survive until now, they might become very capable helpers.

"Yes! This planet is really suitable for the development of metallurgical processing and machinery manufacturing. And the geographical location is good, and it is also suitable for the development of the shipbuilding industry... If everything progresses steadily step by step, it should be able to build the entire New World Star Zone of industrial base.”

"I don't think you are suitable to be a general. You are more suitable to be the Minister of Heavy Industry or the Chairman of the Shipping Management Committee." Hachiman said.

"There's no way. If I don't become a general before I'm forty years old, Roche Industrial Group will really be controlled by a multinational bank. I've already said the reason." Luo Zeshi said: "This is like Hachimanri, precisely because now He is already the 'Governor' of New Yumen, so is that why he drove away the Black (Meow) Gang who came from the alliance to fish over the border?"

"Our family is not a gangster, it has long been restructured into a serious community property and security service company." Qiu Mingshan Hachiman turned his face silently, and pushed up his glasses:

"Let's get back to the topic. In short, we don't know how long these factories built on the surface can last. Whoever raze them to the ground will be the mortal enemy of the 500 million sand people on this planet. Until then, this Monday Looking at the endless sand sea, wilderness and mountains, they are all battlegrounds. I have to prepare in advance."

Luo Zeshi pondered for a moment and sneered: "I used to think that there was still room for treatment for your Riddler problem, but I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, it would reach the end of terminal cancer."

"Forgive me, Chester." Qiu Mingshan said expressionlessly: "I can't tell you that after the last time the marauders invaded, I was thinking that since we couldn't stop tens of thousands of marauders from landing, we naturally couldn't stop them. The Empire's bombing has happened. The "New Continental Arms Limitation Treaty" has been invalidated. There are three Imperial Titan ships less than two thousand light years away from us."

Luo Zeshi remained silent.

"In addition, I certainly can't tell you that Teacher Yang and Mihir (Kent) who are still on the front line also have such doubts. Of course, they definitely did not instruct me to do any of this."

"That boy Horatio must not have thought of this. What about Mr. Chairman?" Rozez asked.

"Yu Lian didn't say anything."

"Tsk tsk tsk, he looks more and more like a serious leader!"

"Yes, authority sometimes requires a sense of mystery. I am very pleased to see that he has finally begun to have such an awareness." Akinayama Hachiman said seriously: "However, as far as I know, he liberated a settlement , is following the Rumina model.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, show your attitude with actions. It can be considered a beautiful method that is fair and independent of cause and effect."

"That's why I said he has awakened. I hope he can finish what he can do before leaving." Akinayama Hachiman forced a smile on his face, and said "haha" in a calm and smooth tone. : "Of course, the above are all the random thoughts of conspiracy theorists like us. I actually have no attitude at all."

"I haven't heard you say this either. I'm just here to greet my direct leader." Luo Zeshi nodded.

The two fell into an unspeakable silence for a while.

After a while, Qiu Mingshan said again: "So, what is it like to be the deputy of one's classmates? Can you tell me in detail?"

"He is an adjutant and not a deputy. There is a big gap between them. The real deputy is indeed our senior who is nearly ten years older than us, Colonel Silva." Luo Zeshi said with a smile: "When I was in the Lion Heart Club, , everyone still thinks that I am the boy Horatio who worked as a lackey. In comparison, Yu Lian is at least reasonable most of the time."

Akinayama Hachiman suddenly felt that what he said made sense.

Major Chester Rozez's current official position is as a technical review officer in the Equipment Department under the National Defense Commission. He is in charge of the performance review of incoming equipment. Of course, it is also a high-ranking position.

He himself does not like this kind of office work at all, but as an outstanding young man who is calm, steady, and has a good personality, he naturally does not show it, but has been diligently completing his own work and working with his colleagues. We also have a good relationship.

What department wouldn't like such an employee? What's more, the leaders of the Equipment Department received vague instructions from the Chairman of the Committee one day. So, with a wave of his hand, he was allowed to join the receiving team of the new dreadnought.

Specifically, he joined the National Defense Commission under Major General Yu Lian, the plenipotentiary envoy, and served as a member of his inspection team.

"When I bring the ship back to China the year after next, I should be able to be promoted. I hope I can go to the actual combat force by then. As for you, Horatio and Michel, both have front-line exploits, and you should be promoted in January next year. Got a new collar badge. Haha, congratulations to you, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place are still one step ahead of us. Sure enough, the Tiger Talisman group is different."

In fact, the next personnel appointment of the 830 Realm Tiger Talisman Group is no longer a secret among the high-level circles of the earth. They are indeed all young people in their twenties, but who doesn't know that the Chairman of the Generalissimo likes this kind of brave, sunny and energetic young heroes the most. In addition, although Marshal Paris, who is the first person in the uniform team, is an old-school soldier who treats the "Moon Man" without any pretense, he is essentially a realist who only values ​​ability and military merit.

In short, there is nothing wrong with these young people, whether it is academic resumes, military exploits or even leadership relationships, so they should naturally be promoted.

As a result, the destroyer captain Horatio Venn will serve as the third officer of the battlecruiser Jormungandr. Michiel Kent, who is serving as one of the combat staff officers at the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, will continue to remain in the original unit, but will be supplemented with the title of combat section chief. As for the new Yumen (acting) security commander, Akinayama Hachiman, who has been the de facto highest military and political officer on the planet for more than three months, will also be transferred to the front line and will become the director of the third security department of the "Devil's Throat" fortress.

All three of them will regain their first-level military rank after the New Year. Even by the standards of "Moon Man" and "Tiger Talisman Group", it is indeed considered a fast promotion. It's a bit like that during the War of Independence, generals in their twenties and marshals in their thirties appeared in large numbers.

"The chairman is really generous. Outside, our club has been called the 830 Party. But now, even if we don't say it's a suppression, we are still getting promoted?" Luo Zeshi said with a smile.

"There are still people outside who say that the sun of the club is Yu Lian, and we are all planets revolving around him." Hachiman said: "Your new job can perfectly prove this."

"It doesn't matter." Luo Zeshi didn't take it seriously, and even felt a bit proud: "It's you, Hachiman, what's it like to be the 'Governor' of the New Yumen at the age of twenty-five? But what's it like to not be able to become one right away? Experience?”

"It doesn't matter to me. If you continue to make this chair, your glasses will be burnt. It's not yet justified." Akinayama Hachiman took off his plain glasses and wiped them: "Have you ever mentioned the candidate for the new governor in the future? ?”

"I heard that Lieutenant General Carter will serve as a concurrent post for the time being, and then a few capable people from the General Operations Training Department will be transferred to help. After all, the war against the predators is not over yet, and the main function of New Yumen is transit logistics, so we can only Let’s implement martial law first. In fact, there is no such precedent.”

Akinayama Hachiman nodded noncommittally, and Luo Zeshi sighed: "You! It's better to think about your future work first. Dealing with 'friendly forces' is sometimes more tiring than dealing with enemies."

The place where Akinayama Hachiman is about to take office is the "Devil's Throat" fortress, which is the ancient enlightened fortress hidden in the huge dwarf planet in the Devil's Throat galaxy.

The plunderers only restored part of the basic functions of the fortress, but they blocked the tens of millions of conquering armies from various countries for almost half a year, and killed and wounded far more of the enemy's soldiers than their own.

If Yu Lian and the others hadn't made a decisive breakthrough in another DL36 galaxy, and if Yang Xiyi's "Cosmic Rush" surprise attack hadn't been so successful, this impenetrable fortress might have been able to last for a long time.

After all, it is something left by the Enlightened One, and maybe it can be used for farming. If the looters inside unlock any new features, they might even be able to produce ammunition and energy.

But no matter what, the fortress did fall into the hands of both armies. Although everyone failed to take the opportunity to intercept and kill the Great Khan and her direct fleet, they succeeded in the last fortress attack battle, leaving behind three Dreadnoughts, a large work ship, and nearly two hundred ships of various sizes. .

More than one-third of the more than one million defenders in the fortress were killed on the spot, including seven marauder warlords who had been on the bounty list for more than ten years. The rest were sent to prisoner-of-war camps, which were converted into temporary camps on an asteroid next to the fortress.

It is estimated that with the average military discipline of this era, 20% of these prisoners of war will still be alive ten years later. This can be regarded as the mercy of the spirit of the universe.

Of course, the above situation is not too important. The real point is who should own the fortress.

Admiral Connors naturally said that since it was a fortress captured by Community soldiers, it should certainly belong to the Community.

The empire stated that the previous fortress attacks were our main attack, and the losses were very serious, but it also greatly weakened the fortress's defense. As for the last attack, although your tactics are exquisite, you cannot ignore the full cooperation and involvement of our fleet.

I ate eight steamed buns before I was full, could it all be attributed to the last one? There is no such truth in this world.

Moreover, even if you just look at the number of casualties, the empire deserves the most credit, and the ownership of the fortress should also belong to the empire.

Admiral Connors said it was a clear steal. If whoever suffered more casualties made the greatest contribution, then the biggest contributor to the Third Galactic War was already the Angela Yu people who were killed by the Eero people and became a minority.

Although this commander is not very good at using troops, he is actually quite aggressive in negotiations.

In addition, Chief of Staff Tivington, who was born in the Union Military Academy and is more like a senior white-collar executive, also seems to be very good at business negotiations. This is probably because he was recently ignored by a subordinate who claimed to be a historian in the staff department. Having nothing to do, he stood up and joined the negotiation.

As a result, the top command levels of both sides began a protracted tug-of-war that was difficult to produce by visual inspection.

Of course, from a practical point of view, it might be better for the community army if the commander and chief of staff do not take personal command.

And in this environment, the soldiers from both sides began to board the fortress with wide eyes, and then each occupied half of it with a tacit understanding. The internal main road running through the center of the entire fortress became a temporary "national border".

A good space fortress has a bit of Berlin flavor.

Although there are no visible walls, there are invisible walls.

But we must know that this is, after all, a fortress left by the Enlightened Ones. Although most of the facilities were obviously later expanded by looters, the real "antiquities" accounted for unknown proportions, but no one knows You know, there is something hidden in the part occupied by the other party.

Therefore, it is inevitable to "walk through the wall" and "drop in" between each other.

In order to protect the facilities, it is said that Lieutenant General Seyo and Major General Mallowan personally went to the fortress to take charge. The former called in four elite marine divisions, and the latter called in all the available Community Guard psykers, even Colonel Zamon, who had just been discharged from the petri dish... By the way, I heard that he will be here soon. Brigadier General Chaimen. It stands to reason that with this person's talent, he will not have much hope for the fourth ring in his life.

However, this brave warrior seemed to have some enlightenment while recuperating from his injury. After recovering from his injury, he gained some understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Man, and successfully entered the fourth ring after being discharged from the hospital.

Even if it doesn't count his military exploits, a psyker of this level should have a general.

Of course, I heard that the opposite empire was in the same formation. Whether it was stormtroopers, panzer grenadiers or even astral knights, there was no shortage of them. As soon as everyone boarded the fortress, they were grinning at each other at the avenue. If the command hadn't exercised restraint, the fighting might have started.

"What did Yu Lian and Teacher Yang say about that fortress?"

"Teacher Yang said that we must at least ensure that this part of us is not infiltrated into a sieve by the empire, and he will find a way for the rest. When he arrives, you can ask yourself."
