Him and their stars

The sailors of the task force are naturally elite sailors drawn from major fleets. Even the most junior ones are graduates who have just graduated from the maritime college with excellent results. The officers are divided into two very distinct groups, the elite bureaucrats who graduated from military academies, including many from aristocratic families whose backgrounds are not suitable for outsiders; and the pillars of the army, which are experienced technical officers and veteran sailors. .

The latter certainly occupies an absolute numerical advantage and voice in the fleet. From this perspective, although the Gong Gong princes of the earth often do not do human things, there is still room for salvage in the spiritual structure.

What's interesting is that although Mo Geguo is a moon man and an elite bureaucrat among elite bureaucrats, he is always regarded as one of the non-bureaucrats by the non-bureaucrats.

This only shows that psychics with meritorious deeds are privileged in terms of treatment and popularity.

Then, in the senior officer's dining room on the Fuxi, Lieutenant General Yu Lian and Admiral Ferragut, who were sitting at the same table, were drinking tea and chatting. They also talked about earth-related personnel gossip and fanciful political issues, and occasionally It involves the peace of this generation and the future prospects of the Dawn Star Territory.

Neither of them started talking about the previous alarm issue, as if whoever spoke first would lose.

Of course, Admiral Ferragut is a seventy-year-old veteran after all, and he is still much more mature and stable than a certain divinely chosen champion who became famous at a young age. So, after the two finally finished a can of black tea, the veteran chef said that he had bought a lot of shares in the pioneering company. As long as you wait for these promotions, you can live a wealthy and free old age.

"So, since we have done so much cooperation with the empire, I personally feel that the possibility of war is very small. As long as the empire is willing to ensure restraint, things on the far shore are just trivial matters. When we wait When God returns, the cats and birds will have no choice but to flee.”

"This official hopes so too. However, everyone on board the Fuxi has just come off the battlefield and is a little nervous. Moreover, you also know that terrorist organizations do not follow martial ethics and may be attacked at any time."

Admiral Ferragut waved his hand indifferently, with a modest smile still showing on his face: "I understand, I understand. Brother Yu Lian, I am not blaming you. We have already said it. Many times, vigilance is the first priority for safety. However, by the time we pass through the Nadotu galaxy, we have entered the second half of the 'Great High Seas' channel. There are friendly countries around, and the distance to the south is The closer to the Heavenly Gate, the safer it actually is."

"Yes. Therefore, maintaining the fleet's training habits and showing the appearance of Earth's soldiers will definitely make these countries more friendly. If this friendship needs quotation marks, try to make the quotation marks disappear. Your Excellency, Commander, let's start with The planned route back home is to take New Atlantis, isn’t that what you mean?”

Yes. The earliest route of the task force is to take the Spiral Nebula Channel and "go south", passing through the Baranya Corridor between the Fermor Star Territory and the Silver Illumination Federation. Then it can connect to the Cirke Kingdom, and then reach the Community. The New Atlantis Sector. The entire journey is almost 7,800 light-years nautical miles, and the task force can theoretically complete the entire journey without supplies.

Taking this route, you have to pass through the border of the Circassian Kingdom for part of the voyage. However, although this country cannot be regarded as a friendly country of the Blue Star Community, they have suffered a lot from the empire in the past few years. If you look at it from the perspective that the enemy of your enemy is always your friend, the Snapping Turtles might be more reliable than the Alliance.

This is a safe and calm route, and on the way back home, it can also shock the warlords of the Feimo Nebula who have not yet established a country, as well as the vassal states of the empire such as Haiyal and Angmans.

However, under the circumstances of military pressure in the Far Coast Sector and Nantianmen, this path will of course not work.

Of course, how do you say this? By the way, giant artificial metal creations are adults’ favorite toys. Now that I have finally obtained a big toy like the dreadnought, if I don't show it off, I will definitely be upset. This is an adult disease.

Generally speaking, the more high-ranking a person is, the more serious his condition will be.

If we can't show off in front of the Hyar Turtles and Angmans Monkeys, we should show off the Community's majestic warships in front of neutral countries like the "Great High Sea Channel."

"No matter which path we take, in the final analysis we have to shoulder certain responsibilities of naval gun diplomacy." Yu Liandao: "This is also the high expectation that the President and the National Defense Commission have for you!"

As soon as he said this, the other party fell into a brief thought.

Yu Lian felt that the other party must be tempted, so he added with a smile: "Of course, our daily combat readiness, deterrence and combat readiness training are all conducted under your leadership. You can definitely ask Captain Tovey and Chief of Staff Confirm this. I am just an ordinary secretary of the Presidential Palace returning home with the ship, and I will definitely write all this in the report."

Admiral Ferragut nodded with understanding: "I see. Brother Yu Lian, although you are young, you are also a man of good human nature! Compared with you, at this age, I feel like I have lived in the belly of a dog. went."

He pondered again: "Speaking of which, I used to be an excellent chef. I entertained many distinguished guests from various countries, and accumulated a lot of contacts. Speaking of which, this time we will pass by Turank's Coordinating Minister State. Their Marshal Tan Bo is an old friend of mine. So, based on this consideration, the Earth side thinks that I can take on this task, right? Well, this is the only explanation."

Yu Lian thought to himself that with your level of self-satisfied thinking, you must be qualified to be the president.

"Speaking of which, when we divert to the G55 route, we will take the shortcut through Hanwangxingxia, right? The Coordinating Ministers Council will guide us? Their people will be scheduled to board the ship, right?"

Yu Lian nodded: "This was planned from the beginning. When we pass through the Nadotu system, the pilots from the Coordinating Minister State of Turan will come over to meet us."

The so-called "Hanwang Star Gorge" is a channel in the "Blue Sky Sea" star field. We all know that most of the stars and waterways in this star field are "high seas", but after all, some of them belong to the territory of surrounding countries due to their geographical location. This "Hanwangxing Gorge" is one of them.

Compared with the channel composed of a stable group of mature stars, there are old stars in the collapse period on the transition nodes of the "Han King" star canyon. Relatively speaking, the gravity well channel is relatively narrow and not particularly stable.

Of course, the so-called "narrowness" and "instability" are also relative concepts. Compared to the Abyss Nebula and the Spiral Star, this route can be regarded as the Avenue to the Sky.

If you take the "Hannosei Gorge", it will take 5 to 7 days faster than taking the public waterway. However, its waterway information is basically in the hands of the Coordinating Minister State of Turan, and you need to pay a toll and pilotage service fee when passing through.

This country is the most powerful country around the "Great Sea Star Territory". It has a small territory and a small population, but it has a long history and a high level of science and technology, especially in the use of high-energy particles and mystical cybernetics. Not a bad achievement.

The Tuhan people, the theme nation of this country, are also a rare immortal race in the galaxy, with an average lifespan about three times that of humans. They are tall and slender, with insufficient physical strength but good adaptability to the environment. They also have good psychic affinity, and are especially good at controlling mental techniques.

Overall, this is a regional power that can rank among the top three in the Galactic Civilization Council. However, perhaps it is because this clan is generally vegetarian and has no ambition to unify the surrounding star fields, so it collects some tolls that are not too much and barely maintains the appearance of living a happy life.

Of course this time too. The Tuhan people of the Coordinating Minister's Country are indeed a Buddhist nation. Anyway, although the "Hanwang Star Gorge" is a transportation artery for the entire star field, it does not lead to the hinterland of the country, so they are happy to share it with the entire galaxy.

As long as the tolls are enough, they don't mind letting other countries' military fleets pass through the Xingxia, and they don't even mind piloting it.

Of course, out of basic diplomatic respect, the gun doors and active attack radar should still be turned off during the passage.

"Okay, I will tell everyone that daily security training must be stepped up, but there must be a degree. We must show our style to surrounding countries, but we must not let them misunderstand. We must master this degree!" Ferragu! The commander ordered.

How should this so-called "degree" be measured? What is the difference between this and the so-called "colorful black"? Although Yu Lian wanted to say this, after all, he was just an ordinary "supervisor" now. If he could successfully help everyone deceive General Ferragut, he had accomplished an extraordinary task.

In short, during the navigation through the Xingxia Gorge, Marshal Tan Bo, the defense executive who coordinates the ministerial state, will board the ship to do some diplomatic activities such as military visits. Admiral Ferragut then discussed with Yu Lian the welcome ceremony and the procedure of the visit with great interest. Although the latter wanted to express that this was not actually his job, the commander obviously wanted to show off the "happy" and high emotional intelligence of the fleet's top brass, so of course he had no choice but to accompany him.

After sending away the proud Admiral Ferragut, Yu Lian returned to the room, but he couldn't rest. He still pulled up the star map of the entire "Great High Sea" and marked his own planned route. line, and made key marks on galaxies where danger may occur.

After doing all this, he distributed one copy to each of Captain Tovey and other old subordinates.

After all, he is no longer the admiral of the fleet, so he cannot give orders casually. Fortunately, the captain of the Fuxi and most of the fleet staff are our own people, so they can at least remind them to pay attention.

However, before he could fall asleep, he heard the doorbell ringing in his room.

After opening the door, it was Chief of Staff Major General Mkawa and his old classmate Lieutenant Colonel Rozeshi. Both of them had serious expressions, and Luo Zeshi held a tablet terminal in his hand.

Yu Lian couldn't help but marveled: "...your reaction is really fast! It only took three minutes for my document to be sent, right?"

Chief of Staff Mkawa said: "I have received your message. Time is limited, so I only read it hastily. However, your order is naturally high-level. It will be issued to each ship for execution after returning."

Who said that such a strict and rigid housekeeper-type chief of staff wouldn't be flattering? Isn't this position quite high?

"...I'm just an ordinary secretary of the Presidential Palace. I'm just taking a ride back to my country this time. Please don't make it sound like I've emptied out the Commander, okay?"
