Him and their stars

It was a battlefield that had long since calmed down.

After hiding in the orbit of Planet 4 of the 354 Galaxy, the wreckage of more than a dozen sunken warships was captured by the magnetic field formed by the three satellites of the large earth-like planet and scattered on this isolated planetary island. At first glance, it looked like a graveyard of warship corpses.

The Lone Ranger even found two heavy cruisers inside.

Needless to say, in this vast Dawn Star Region, the only one that could threaten the Empire's medium-sized combat fleet was the Yang Xiyi Fleet.

However, although the scene was a clear victory, the community was not annihilated at any cost. The Lone Ranger immediately discovered that the wreckage at the scene also included one of its own Yangyan-class destroyers and one of its own Ranger-class cruisers.

Judging from the bullet marks and energy residues on the wreckage, the battle should have taken place about three days ago.

However, as a group that has mastered the art of hide-and-seek, Yang Xiyi's fleet was very quick, leaving almost no gravitational residue from the main fleet's jump away.

"Another good news, and a bad news." Yu Lian calculated in a low voice.

The good news is that Yang Xiyi's fleet should be in good condition. They still have enough combat power and fighting spirit to wipe out an imperial patrol fleet in a short time and leave after the battle.

The bad news is that they have lost two more warships. Playing hide-and-seek with the empire is an extreme technical job that dances on a tightrope, and the lost ships and personnel cannot be replaced.

Then Xiao Bai said, "The Lone Ranger also reported that they have re-lit no less than 20 gravitational wave beacons during their operations, which is enough to build a temporary communication network. If everything goes well, we may be able to reconnect with other units in the Dawn Star Region."

Rozes immediately felt optimistic: "We should be able to hold out longer this time. During the Battle of Judgment, we were allies with the Empire and shared the same gravitational wave communication network. After the Battle of Miracle Ring, we lost control of the universe and the other side used communication suppression to drive us out. Now that this communication network is built, they need physical means."

However, how easy is physical means? After all, the gravitational wave beacon tower is the size of a 10-ton truck. Putting it in the universe is not like finding a needle in a haystack, but like finding a particle in the ocean. Even if the Imperial Army captures the signal of active gravitational waves, it will still take some time to find the real owner.

Yu Lian praised loudly: "All the crew members of the Lone Ranger are worthy of a Blue Star Medal of Freedom."

"You only have one Blue Star Medal of Freedom yourself." Xiao Bai was indeed touched, but he couldn't help but remind him.

That is the highest medal of honor in the Blue Star Community, and even President Nishita can't get it. In their Bai family, only the ancestor who discovered the New Shenzhou had one.

"In fact, he already has two. After President Nishita returned to Earth, he heard that we killed a virtual lord in Sai, so he sent another one. This is the latest news that the Earth has just sent to the headquarters." Luo Zeshi said.

Yu Lian said that this was the first time he heard of this, and then he showed a headache: "... Vice President Yero will come to present the award again?"

"That's not the case. The president has returned to the position, so how can the vice president not be on Earth. I heard that the guest this time is Minister Pernie of the Orbital City Development Department. He is also an old leader of the National Defense Committee. This sense of ceremony is enough." Luo Zeshi said.

"Orbital City Development Department? Oh, what a lucrative position!"

Yu Lian immediately pulled out a character image from a certain groove in his cerebral cortex. It was the image of a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly, slick and mercenary, and also the image of a typical senior bureaucrat.

Three years ago, he was the personnel minister of the National Defense Committee and announced that Yu Lian was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Two years ago, he had become the vice chairman of the National Defense Committee and personally came to the New World to announce that Yu Lian became a major general.

And now, as President Nishita's best friend, he has also become the Minister of the Orbital City Development Department, which is considered a lucrative position in the government cabinet.

In any case, although this fat old bureaucrat fits everyone's stereotype, at least the previous few meetings with Yu Lian brought good things.

In this way, the two can be regarded as friends who can sit down and drink a glass of wine and eat skewers.

So, this is really fate, it's indescribable! Yu Lian said.

Then again, Minister Pernie is President Nishita's confidant, so maybe we can get some information from him.

Well, let's go back to the Lone Ranger.

After setting up the gravitational wave beacon, Captain Bai briefly searched the battlefield, collected some available supplies and ship materials, and confirmed that there were no survivors, so he left quickly. It was January 14, 10:18 standard time, and it has been nearly 20 hours since then.

As for the direction of advance, because they were really unsure of the movements of Yang Xiyi's fleet, they simply rushed towards the direction of the Miracle Ring, which was so brave and decisive!

Colonel Bai Chengyu then said on behalf of the entire crew: They will continue to move forward. Even if they fail to find Yang Xiyi's fleet, they will definitely go to the Miracle Ring to have a wave. As an explorer, he has never even seen the greatest enlightened creature in the universe face to face, so he will not be qualified to meet the founder Zheng He in the future.

By the way, people on earth regard Zheng He as the ancestor of explorers. Probably because in this timeline, in the first year after Sanbao Eunuch died of illness, the expedition ships of the Empire and Alliance suddenly appeared in the night sky of the earth and became the brightest stars, so There is a mysterious sense of destiny.

As for Lieutenant Lehman Pirie, he solemnly stated that of course the mission of the Maverick will continue. But please rest assured that the headquarters will never reveal the existence of the Star Gate even if it is discovered by the Imperial Army or forced into a desperate situation.

The young man's tone was extremely firm and persistent, but not arrogant. He was full of fearless spirit. Just hearing his voice sounded like a master who could enforce battlefield discipline without hesitation.

...After all, he has already implemented battlefield discipline once. All things are done without him and only with familiarity.

This combination sounds particularly reliable, even perfect.

"The next call may take longer." Mr. Qi asked.

"If there is any urgent military information, we will get the reward in advance. Again, it is either better news or the worst news." Yu Liandao.

The good news is that the Lone Ranger has naturally contacted Yang Xiyi's fleet, but the bad news is that they have been bitten by the imperial fleet. Of course everyone can understand what Yu Lian means.

And when that time comes, the situation will be like what young Lieutenant Pirie said. The Lone Ranger will definitely choose to kill all its members in battle, but it will never let the empire discover the existence of the Star Gate.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little heavy.

Then, I heard Professor Zinov take a sip of vodka and said indifferently: "I would rather they be more relaxed and send more inspection reports. When gravitational wave communication passes through the star gate, it can also cause the star gate's gravitational tide. Changes, if I can collect more data, maybe I can find the rules of star gate stability faster. We now have a unique star gate, and we should achieve better results than other countries in the space field."

He presented the image of a cold-blooded scientist who was obsessed with his own research field and didn't care about the changes in current affairs in the world. However, because of this, everyone suddenly discovered that so far, it seems that there is good news. If you worry about gains and losses here, it will seem too hopeless.

Therefore, Mr. Qi also showed a relaxed smile: "Now that we are done, let's have hot pot first. Penglai's delicious tomato fruit can form a unique soup, which will definitely become Tianshu's specialty. Everyone We can’t help but taste it. We can all talk about the fate of New China, the fate of the Dawn Nebula, and the subsequent course of the war, as well as whether the Yang fleet and the Lone Ranger can successfully connect.”

Yu Lian always felt that his lines had been robbed, and for a moment he felt a little empty.

However, there is a saying that using a certain red wild fruit that is a specialty of the Penglai planet and the large bones of a certain kind of sea fish, the soup can have a unique flavor, with both freshness and mellowness. Although it is not Yu Lian's favorite spicy taste, this aroma that is in line with the vigorous vitality is still refreshing, no... refreshing to the stomach.

But now, even though the soup base has not yet been boiled, Yu Lian can already feel the huge resonance between the soup and the ingredients. The army of delicious food is eagerly preparing to gallop on the soup pot battlefield!

However, the soup base was indeed not boiled yet, and Bai Ziya appeared with a wry expression again, looking at Yu Lian with a guilty look in his eyes, hesitating to speak but hesitant to speak. The whole person looked like a crab that had just come out of the steamer, struggling more than the king crab bundled on the plate next to it.

"You guys can't hide things. Seeing this entangled face makes me lose my appetite." Yu Lian said angrily: "But is there a report?"

Xiaobai bowed his head and apologized sincerely: "Yes, I'm sorry...but, general, we did receive the signal from behind the star gate."

"Oh, but the Lone Wanderer?" Yu Lian was still staring at the freshly cut beef slices next to him that exuded a marble pattern.

"This is somewhere else... it should be considered military affairs. I think you should come and listen."

Yu Lian looked at the dazzling array of plates and sighed heavily, feeling that before these armies of delicious ingredients entered the battlefield of the soup pot and conveyed their honor and heroism to their taste buds, they were suddenly attacked and bombed.

This is really a tragic battle in the catering industry!

"Since it is a military matter, we will not participate. Don't worry, I can wait for you." Mr. Qi said with a smile, while watching the bubbles jumping on the soup pot, and then poured a large plate of cut and marinated pheasant pieces into it. In the soup pot.

"Such a pot should be paired with the most delicious Red Whale Vodka. Hahahaha, all delicacies should be paired with Red Whale Vodka." Professor Zinov laughed and took out a new wine bottle like a magic trick. Fill it up first for Mr. Qi.

Well, these two were not professional soldiers after all. They were used to being unorganized and undisciplined, so Yu Lian decided not to get along with them.

He took the staff and others back to the headquarters of Tianshu Laboratory. Before he could sit down, he signaled Xiaobai to start reporting.

"This is the signal we just received. You should take a look yourself." Bai Ziya said.

Well, this kid does have a typical technician's brain. If it were an experienced adjutant like Rosses or any staff officer, they would definitely use a concise way to make it clear.

On the one hand, this is very ceremonial and can highlight the commander's level. On the other hand, it can also allow the commander to start thinking in advance and discover some details in advance when listening to the broadcast.

Well, for a genius like Xiaobai, if he really gets a military position that requires him to do things in a rigid manner, it might even restrict him.

However, since the kid said "take a look", it means that it is not a broadcast, but a video?

Yu Lian was thinking, and then he saw the window that popped up and the face shaking in it.

The image was naturally blurry, and there was even a very obvious frame drop phenomenon, which immediately reminded Yu Lian of the era of wired network dial-up Internet access in his hometown on Earth in his previous life, which made him sigh for a while.

Of course, even in such a blurry video, Yu Lian could clearly recognize that the face belonged to Colonel Simon Vayali, whom he had not seen for a long time. The last time he met this old comrade was when the war of judgment had just ended. After the war with the Empire broke out, even the occasional communication was cut off.

"Audio test, this is Yaochi, inform the whole universe, this is Yaochi, we are still fighting." Simon spoke.

Yes. Yu Lian certainly knew that Simon Vayali and another friend Meng Jiao, with the 38th Division and 200,000 liberated citizens, were nailed to Yaochi and were playing the role of the nightmare of the Imperial Army for a long time.

...Well, it's not a nightmare. For the Holy Galactic Empire, no matter how the Yaochi Campaign develops, it can't actually affect the overall situation. At most, it is just a hives of the war situation in the New World.

But, this is enough. Simon and his comrades have exceeded their mission. In a sense, this degree of excess is not even worse than that of Teacher Yang.

To be honest, this guy has given Yu Lian the biggest surprise since the war began.

No one knows better than himself how Yang Xiyi, Eleanor, Ina, and other friends of the 830 Party have shone in another timeline.

In this life, because of their wise leadership and earnest teachings, they have grown up in advance, and have their own team and army in advance. It is not too surprising that they can make the current achievements.

Even Meng Jiao is at least a brave general who can capture the flag and kill the generals.

Only Simon Vayali, a small town kid whose family runs a soy sauce workshop, was unknown in his previous life. Therefore, his growth always brings Yu Lian the greatest surprise and sense of accomplishment.

Yu Lian certainly knows that Brigadier General Schiller of the 38th Division is actually a mascot in charge of military and political affairs, and General Baron, the mayor of Marshal Li Geler, is actually responsible for civil affairs and a certain scale of training. As for Meng Jiao, the fierce general... well, he will probably become a fiercer general in this life than in the last life.

So, the one who is really responsible for the entire Yao Chi defense command is actually Simon.

Now, after not seeing him for a while, it can be seen that this guy has indeed aged a lot, and it can be seen that he has been baptized and tortured by time. However, his temperament seems to be more stable, and his eyes are more condensed and sharp. Although it is a very blurry video, Yu Lian really felt this feeling.
