Him and their stars

Yu Lian fell into a brief silence.

Of course he could feel that Chairman Maxer's attitude towards him had changed from cooperation and support to business-like cooperation. Even Father Paris, who is regarded as his elder, although he often keeps talking on the phone, and although he can still complain to each other and greet each other's mother, it seems to be a bit pretentious.

Yu Lian desperately hoped that this was his illusion, but the transfer orders from Tai Tan and Luo Zeshi and his team would inevitably make people think.

Therefore, he convinced himself that the old marshal was in that position after all, and the people who needed to spend the most time dealing with were not soldiers, but bureaucrats, politicians, and even people in the media industry. In fact, he couldn't help himself.

He was an old man who was nearly a hundred years old and still had to fight wits and courage with visible and invisible enemies in the temple. What he is doing is not what he is best at, but he is doing his best.

He is also an old officer who has helped him a lot and even treated him favorably. Whether it is his past achievements or his own personality, he deserves his respect.

Yu Lian felt that if he still wanted to be a human being, he couldn't estimate his old man's current thoughts with such malice.

Feifei is also a smart person. She just stopped there and did not go further on this issue.

She said: "Actually, Congressman Volota made this suggestion not entirely because of some power struggle. He may represent some of the will of the Co-Prosperity Party and the doubts of some big shots about you, but he also really wants to Fight for your old company. You know, Yu'er, Senator Vrota used to be the director of the Mars Shipyard, and he started out as an ordinary engineer. He really wants to restore the independence of the shipyard. level of grandeur.”

"I understand. Last time Liuli gave me a list, saying which members of Congress are the ones I can cooperate with and win over, and which members have conscience and are willing to do practical things, including the member from Volota. …By the way, why did you compile this list? Where did she compile this list?”

Feifei pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes deep.

Xiao Hui simply let out an unbridled laugh, conveying the contempt that even kindergarten children can understand.

Yu Lian pretended not to hear and continued to ask: "Did you help? Or was it Yang Mingzhao's handiwork?"

Feifei also thought she heard it and just said to herself: "As for Mr. Luo Zeshi and Mr. Eisen, it is actually a good thing that they were transferred to the Mars Shipyard."

Of course, Yu Lian felt some kind of dark conspiracy, which seemed to be brewing. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and for the first time there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Feifei, don't treat everyone else as a fool.

Feifei burst out laughing and said, "You're telling the truth. Yu'er, it's precisely because of you that we have the capital to treat other people as fools. In our era, this is very important."

"After all, this is the era of psychic monkeys." Xiao Hui made a perfect supplement in a voice that only Yu Lian could hear.

Co-authored by The Riddler Is it contagious?

Feifei said in a remonstrating tone: "And, Yu'er, as an enlightened leader, you should learn to respect their personal wishes."

"Well, what about their personal wishes?"

"Very happy."

"……happy?"

"It can even be called a joy."

Yu Lian suddenly felt that he had failed as a commander.

"Mr. Eisen French can take his newlywed wife back to his parents' home. He has not taken his bride back to her parents' home after getting married. And as you know, classmate Rozes is an armament expert and grew up in a shipyard. ”

The young master of Captain Brooklyn is not the biggest boss, but he still has a family background. To put it bluntly, among the friends of the 830 Party, Feifei and I have no foundation.

"I know. Friends from 830, no one knows battleships better than Luo Zeshi." Yu Lian pointed out his two index fingers and said seriously: "The reason why you became my adjutant in the first place is that Accompany me to receive the main god-level one. Now, it’s really up to him to deal with the Titan problem.”

"Yes, it is the best choice for him to serve as the third officer of the New Independence, both publicly and privately. You should say this to Marshal Paris, Chairman Maxell, and President Nichita."

Having said that, of course Yu Lian would not have any dissatisfaction. Afterwards, he called Luo Zeshi and Aisen, who were about to take office, to encourage them, but found that these two people really didn't have any melancholy about separation, and were full of prospects and expectations for new careers in the future.

He suddenly felt helpless.

"This makes me seem like a failed commander. Don't you two have any nostalgia at all?" Yu Lianda said.

Eisen French showed a ashamed expression, but still scratched his head and muttered: "This, this, of course you are the best commander and my benefactor... However, this transfer is actually a temporary position. I am also very interested in the Mars Shipyard. Moreover, I was seconded to the Far Coast from the New China Shipyard. I don’t even have a formal military status, so of course I am not considered your official subordinate.”

It's great to be married. Even such a well-behaved fat guy who fears social skills and technology geeks has learned to criticize others even though he still speaks very charmingly.

However, speaking of this, the fat white man's rank of first-class sergeant major was really approved by himself, just to make it easier for him to enter and exit the shipyard and other military institutions.

This is certainly not a violation of discipline. It is normal for generals to wholesale temporary ranks to temporary helpers. Otherwise, how can those famous mercenaries who are active on the battlefield with general stars come?

"I am equipped with six-country general stars!" This is a very famous joke in the mercenary world of the entire universe, from the mercenary legend Tai Xiu during the Third Galactic War. Now, eight and a half centuries have passed, but no one can brag so high.

"If you want a formal military status, I can approve it on the spot." Yu Lian said.

"It seems that it doesn't make much sense... It may be more beneficial for me to maintain my civilian status now." Eisen thought seriously and answered with a silly smile.

This fat white man not only knows how to confront people, but also knows how to slap them in the face? So, you also want six-country general stars, right?

As for Colonel Chester Rozes, he still maintained a gentle and elegant smile: "If I really cried and hoped to stay, it would mean that you are a hypocritical commander and I am a flattering adjutant. You actually know that it is difficult for the Titan to stay on the far shore."

"Indeed." This is Rozes, not the most imaginative, not the most decisive, but always the most thoughtful.

"Then, we must ensure that we have our own people on board. Isn't it a coincidence now? As soon as the transfer order came down, even the shipyards on Earth and Mars have our own people."

"...So, Davarishirozeshi, what is your own people?"

"How did you call me?"

Yu Lian exchanged a meaningful look with the other party, and nodded slowly: "After arriving on Earth, you must pay attention to the situation in Xinya. It's really the most dangerous moment. Your safety is much more important than this broken ship."

"I know it! But I also hope you can understand that your safety is actually much more important than the fortress and those main god-level ships. Sir, you are more important than you think!"

After watching his old comrades embark on their respective journeys, Yu Lian sighed, opened the terminal and was about to call Marshal Paris, but felt that it was a bit deliberate. If it is not handled well, it may embarrass both parties.

Damn, who am I? The third in the Outer Ring War Zone, the (nominal) second in the Far Shore Defense Line, the contemporary top general known as the "Dawn Dragon", the nightmare of the Dragon Kings, how can he fight a war and deal with such unproductive office politics?

When will I no longer have to think about such a rotten thing?

While cursing and complaining, he finally found the private communication phone of Marshal Ferragu, who was also the commander of the local fleet and the chief of the general staff, and called him directly.

The phone rang for more than half a minute before it was connected. This is a bit strange. The time in Yonghen City on Earth is less than 22 o'clock in the evening, and as far as Yu Lian knows, the old and strong Marshal Fei has the habit of living at night.

His famous saying is "Live like a young man, and you will always be a young man! Young veterans will never die!"

Yu Lian thinks this is actually much more magnificent than "Old soldiers will never die, they just stick to the tracks."

"It's been a long time since I greeted you, sir." Yu Lian forced out a business smile, looking at the fat marshal with a slightly stiff expression on the screen, and said with a smile: "Were you drunk just now, or were you struggling to answer my call?"

Marshal Ferragu spent a few more seconds to adjust his mood, and then forced out a friendly and silly smile: "... Oh, brother Yu Lian, my friend, my young good friend, if you always say things so bluntly, it will be difficult for everyone to step down, which is not decent."

Yu Lian was also happy: "That's indeed my fault. In short, the Independence will set sail according to the scheduled plan and join the Home Fleet."

"I said that although my brother is young, he knows the general situation! Sooner or later, he will provoke the two colonies and thirteen star zones of the community." Marshal Fei raised his glass behind the screen, showing just the right amount of emotion. Although it is the result of master-level expression management training at a glance, it should still be somewhat real.

This is actually enough.

"Don't worry, the officers and soldiers coming from the outer ring war zone are all treasures, and they will definitely be respected by the new recruits. I promise you."

"And the Mars Cook, it is still a bit tricky to convert the museum into a warship."

"Isn't it? Just changing the clinker cannon that launches bubble balls back to a real cannon that launches ion bombs is already very troublesome. However, I also know that the ship has special meaning to you, brother, and it has never been moved." He carefully raised an index finger behind the screen: "I haven't lived there for a day."

"I just said that the old boss is generous!" Yu Lian also quickly found a wine glass and filled it up, and raised his glass to Marshal Fei behind the screen.

The smile on the marshal's chubby face became even more naive, and he said again: "After resuming active service, it did not go out with me, but only served as a local patrol ship and training ship in the solar system. We still lack well-trained crew members, and the crew members of large ships are different from those of small ships. It just so happens that the Cook can fill our gaps."

Having said this, Marshal Ferragut muttered again: "So, I didn't agree with converting it into a museum at the beginning. It should be used as a training ship for large warships. Everyone always says that we in the Co-Prosperity Party We are leading the way... Yes, we did serve as bureaucrats in the imperial era, but doesn't this mean that we are more pragmatic than the other side? Brother, I don't mean anything else, I just hope that you must have it. Clear judgment.”

Marshal Paul Ferragut was also nearly sixty years older than Yu Lian, but this "brother" could be called one after another quite smoothly. If it had been anyone else, Yu Lian might have gotten goosebumps, but facing this fat old man, he didn't feel any disgust at all.

This is the real master!

"When the crew on the Cook is fully trained, will they be able to board the Independence seamlessly?"

"...Of course. But, brother, don't get me wrong. I may not have the chance to regard this Titan as my flagship. Now, it is temporarily under the Home Fleet. Legally, it may be under my command for the time being, but in the final analysis It’s still yours. The future is also yours. After all, I’m at this age and it’s my last expedition.”

"Are you on an expedition?"

A hint of resentment suddenly flashed in the eyes of Marshal Ferragut: "Isn't this your request, brother? Let me lead troops to seize the Chero Fortress in the Cirke Kingdom in advance?"

"I didn't know that your little suggestion would be so important to me. So, have you snatched it up?" Yu Lian looked moved and expectant.

"How is it possible? Although young people are very energetic, you should also consider the international perspective when formulating tactics! This kind of tactic of sneak attack on friendly forces cannot be passed by the Presidential Palace, let alone Congress! Wait, You should have known about this for a long time, right?" Marshal Ferragu looked at Yu Lian suspiciously.

"Actually, as long as you follow the plan completely, you can control the fortress without blood." Yu Liandao: "As long as no one is killed, it doesn't count as a backstab..."

"Brother Yu Lian, your current thoughts are very dangerous!" Marshal Ferragu said, and then he seemed to have thought of something again. He took two steps back across the screen and showed a horrified look: "You But don't try to convince me! I also know that you psychics can manipulate people's minds! You wouldn't want to do this to an old, weak, and helpless person? Old people do this kind of thing!”

Don’t worry, I definitely won’t. Besides, I haven't heard of anyone who can control the mind and be separated by 10,000 light years.

Yu Liandao: "As expected, we are still waiting in New Atlantis. However, as far as I know, didn't the home fleet set off two weeks ago?"

"Yes. It will be led by my subordinate, Lieutenant General Scheuer, the deputy commander of the local fleet."

Yu Lian remembered that this general served as the commander of the squadron several times, and was later transferred to Earth to become the chief of fleet services. Now he is also one of the strong candidates for the chief of general staff, and he seems to have had a close relationship with President Nichita. A unique relationship with fellow countrymen.

In short, he has a rich resume, but his actual performance can only be considered average, and he can be considered a qualified general for the time being. perhaps……

Yu Lian didn't know if this was a political struggle. Anyway, he was too lazy to think about it in that direction. When he thought about it, he became a little angry and cried.

"You're not sitting on Earth?" This is what surprised Yu Lian.

Marshal Ferragut finally felt a little more complacent: "I am now leading the second fleet, which has already left the cantilever and is about to enter the New Asia sector."

He further explained that two more Yinglongs with completed equipment had landed at the dock, and he felt that they could still be sent to the front line.

As a result, Marshal Ferragut assembled the guard warships supported by various sectors to form the second reinforcement fleet to support New Atlantis.

"All the ships that can be used by the security fleets in each sector have been drained." Yu Lian sighed.

"Anyway, the war has come to this point, and all star regions no longer need to be guarded." Marshal Ferragu laughed and said: "Thanks to the Mars Shipyard, Yinglong, which can only be completed in August, has been completed nearly four months ahead of schedule. ”

It sounds a bit like making room for the Independence, but in any case, this spirit of working overtime to build ships for the front line is indeed worth encouraging. However, is there really no safety hazard in such a ship?

"The new ship, the new recruits, and a group of veterans who came back from retirement to serve as instructors. Without an old man to watch over it, it's really easy for something to happen. I still have the same opinion. The new recruits are driving the new ship across the sea of ​​​​stars, and they're waiting. At the destination, the rookie will become a veteran, and the new ship will definitely be able to get used to it. Brother Yu Lian, when we set off from Nephi with the Lord God, there will be a large number of new recruits on the ship. Now, none of them are dragons and tigers. What about fierce?"

Of course, this is indeed in line with Marshal Fei's character. He is such a person who likes to toss... ah no, such a person who likes to do practical things, otherwise he would not have gone from cook to marshal all the way.

He was indeed very proud of his own actions in leading the troops into battle.

Of course, there may be some small motives for not wanting to hand over all the troops to the deputy, but in any case, as a dignified marshal, he personally rushed to the border area with a reinforcement force that could be considered a squadron at most. This is indeed very impressive. pride.

However, although the truth is this, it is too optimistic. After all, Yu Lian cannot pour cold water on the general. In the current war situation, having a spirit of optimism is a good thing after all.

"The Alliance's advisor agrees with your point of view. It is indeed time to deploy more troops in Xinya. In addition, if we can unite with the Kingdom of Cherke, we should be able to ensure the safety of that direction."

"The Alliance's advisor?"

"Yes! The Alliance's advisor! With him, if we can reach a joint combat plan with the Kingdom of Cherke, we will have the best coordinator!"
