Him and their stars

What did Yang Xiyi mean? Yu Lian said that he didn't understand it at all. A magician like Teacher Yang who pretends to be a Xiaoyao sect is just a warlord. If he develops a little more, he will be a "Bonapartist". It would not be a good thing if he understood it instantly.

Therefore, Yu Lian, who had just been promoted to brigadier general, fully acted as a mature social person. He first went to report to the commander, General Connor Reese, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tivington, and talked about some important issues. Xiandan then found Brigadier General Wu Sansong, who was said to be somewhat hostile to him, and did some handover of daily work.

"Although we are sure that the Demon Palace Labyrinth has collapsed, the situation in that star field is still unclear, and it is very likely that there will be a tug-of-war on several important channel galaxies. By that time..." Yu Liandao.

"I understand. At that time, our Blue Guard soldiers will be needed as warhammers to break the situation." Brigadier General Wu Sansong looked concerned: "The heraldic machine we are equipped with is the MK2 type, and some of the designs are borrowed from I got your... Haha, the performance of the Crimson I got last time has been improved again. And all the staff have mastered your four-image tactics quantitatively! Even the Astral Knights are not without success in a battle. It’s powerful. Please feel free to worry.”

This guy was obviously a typical elite young man from aristocratic families, but now he acted like a passionate war madman in front of Yu Lian. I felt that his malicious intent was even more obvious.

What I mean is that if there's a stalemate on the front line, you might have to try to use the sentience psyker to find a path with the deep space probe. Yu Lian looked at the other party and felt that he should say this to Yang Xiyi and Sister Malowen. In addition, he also had to remind Brother Chaimen and the others to at least be more alert.

After completing the above work, Yu Lian put on a look of "reluctant to leave" and boarded his Scarlet Throne again... er, the Marco Cook Dreadnought, embarked on the journey back home. voyage.

In fact, it was okay to leave. After all, the Marco Cook was snatched from the hands of the predators, who were a group of greenskins who had no idea what the overall engineering aesthetic was. Even after Xiao Hui's magical modifications, the Marco Cook still looks like it is assembled with red pipelines and maroon meteorite fragments, exuding an aura that is incompatible with those "Independence-class" dreadnoughts designed by the Empire. Aura. It was like a group of knights wearing gorgeous plate armor and silk cloaks, and a gangster carrying a pan to help the chimney slipped in.

We are not from the same place, and there is no need to mix together.

Just three hours after the Marco Cook left the NR18 system, the Community's home fleet was also preparing to set off. Their movements were quite swift, even to the point of being a little too eager. This is probably because Admiral Connors learned that the main fleet from the empire has also arrived at Iris Cross and can arrive at the scene at any time.

"Combat requires a steady and steady approach, but I still have to seize the opportunity in advance. I mean all the opportunities! All of them!" Admiral Connors told everyone repeatedly.

His urging still had a certain effect. At least, the main force of the fleet, with the Community First Fleet as the core, also embarked on the journey and successfully caught up with the "Battle of Labyrinth Pass" that took place on June 12.

The participants in this "Battle of Labyrinth Pass" were the Community's Tenth Fleet and Thirteenth Fleet, the Empire's forward fleet commanded by King Sulyuka Brynhilt, and the defenders were ten Dreadnought-class jets. The main fleet of predators is composed of fireships and motherships.

The battle took place in a galaxy located at the "pass" of the Demonic Palace Labyrinth Starfield. It is currently temporarily named the DM03 galaxy. It is a young star system with no habitable planets and relatively disordered magnetic field and gravity.

Probably because the attacking troops were only "allies", and they were all "allies" who had their own agendas and were wary of each other. They could only fight on their own, and it actually turned into a tug-of-war.

Both sides probably didn't like this kind of war of attrition with no technical content, so they gradually opened the distance between the warships and faced off across the orbits of the two gas giant planets for more than forty-eight hours.

At this time, the main fleet of the Community also arrived at the battlefield at 4:47 am on the 12th. The main force of the Predators didn't seem to be really tough. After trying to save all the capital ships and most of the fleet, they withdrew from the battlefield in a dignified manner.

The coalition forces once again won, and the main contributor was the Community. Although the crusade against the army did not achieve results worth bragging about, part of the "battlefield fog" was dispelled. Isn't this considered a result?

However, even so, Admiral Conneris's mind remained quite clear. Since we have agreed to "strengthen the stronghold and fight the war", we must keep our word. He quelled the request of a group of radical generals of the Home Fleet to march immediately, stabilized the main force in this galaxy again, and began to explore other channels.

In addition, diplomatic work cannot stop. Admiral Conneris held a grand banquet on the flagship "Independence" and invited the senior officers of the empire from the opposite side to come over for a party. I heard that His Highness Brunhilt, King of Sulyuka, was famous for not liking such social occasions, but he still came in person to save face. Of course, it is said that when His Royal Highness King Suliuka learned that a certain newly promoted Brigadier General did not come with the army, he became so angry on the spot that he almost made the Commander unable to get off the stage.

However, this should be a rumor. She is a dignified elected emperor, the most noble royal noble. There should be no one in the entire universe who understands etiquette better than this noble lady.

On June 15th, the main fleet of the empire also arrived at the scene, so the banquet of the same specifications was held again. It must be said that Admiral Conneris is really good at doing this kind of thing. At least he can make the guests and hosts enjoy themselves in harmony. Even the Bakvi and Cathay people can't fault it. This is true. Not an easy task.

In this regard, even Yang Xiyi expressed a certain degree of respect.

However, His Excellency the Commander smiled wryly at himself and said: "So, why do you think I became the commander of this expeditionary force? For such a majestic operation, the calculation is not a military account, but a political account! Then! , among the generals with decent qualifications, official titles and status, I am the only one who is best at handling these matters. Brother Yang, I am also putting my career on the line."

Even Yang Xiyi, who is as unruly as he is, has to admit that it is still not easy for the Commander. He may not be considered an excellent commander, at least he has not shown such qualities yet, but he is indeed an excellent and dedicated affairs officer who does everything he can.

"You can't do this kind of rubbish, brother Yang! I can't fight, but I can't. I leave the fleet and the war to you." Admiral Conneris held Yang Xiyi's hands, his face full of sincerity.

I hope so too, but in history, when have political accounts been settled before military accounts, when have they ever had good results? Yang Xiyi couldn't help but think so.

On the other side, Yu Lian was of course completely unaware of the battle situation on the front line. He officially returned to Xinyumen on June 10th on the Marco Cook. Looking at the fully formed dry dock in the orbit of the planet, my heart was once again filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The reason why this kind of orbital dock that can repair and maintain large warships can be completed so quickly is of course because the local construction team was appointed to prepare to turn Xinyumen into one of the logistics bases, but it is also due to Dr. Xie and Mr. Karl. Dad and the others have already laid the foundation.

The Marco Cook was parked in dry dock, and the crew was disbanded and entered vacation mode. As for Yu Lian himself, he was going to find a place to have a delicious meal of charcoal-grilled marmot, and then go see how Feifei's movie went.

However, he had just landed at Tulon's airport in a transport boat, and found that someone was already waiting for him.

Naturally, the three friends Akinayama Hachiman, Simon Vayali and Meng Jiao are here. They also ensure that the national defense construction of New Yumen is developed according to their own will...ah, in the most efficient and practical direction.

Of course, it was probably because of the front-end time that they led the militia and the garrison to beat up the arrogant Marines, and made a splash in the eyes of a group of senior generals, local observers, dignitaries and the media. These three In a high-spirited state. It can be felt that their mood is quite cheerful.

As for others...

Yu Lian then saw Major Horatio Venn, who looked particularly awkward.

Well, of course Akinayama Hachiman was present, as well as Michiel Kent, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but Yu Lian didn't have time to say hello to the others, mainly because the presence of classmate Wein's constipated expression was too strong.

Yu Lian thought for a moment, then pointed at the general star on his shoulder. The latter opened his mouth slightly, but then within a second he changed his expression from a constipated expression to a serious and rigid elite officer's face, and stood at attention and saluted.

Kent and Hachiman looked at each other and made the same move while suppressing laughter. They are much calmer than Wayne.

After Yu Lian returned the salute, he laughed and took a step forward, took the initiative to hook Horatio Wayne's shoulder, and then put his arm around Kent's hand: "Comrades, charcoal-grilled woodchuck is the new You have to taste the specialties of Yumen. We can talk about the future of the New World and the expedition fleet while eating!"

...Well, having said that, shouldn't I give Feifei a call to make sure she's okay when I get back? But, man, it’s common for you to forget your wife when you’re having fun with your brothers.

It’s a time like this! A sensible girl should learn to understand! You must not want a girl who doesn't understand. Observers outside the box must also understand this situation.

Soon, the friends who were the first generation core members of the youth club found a barbecue restaurant in a relatively secluded and quiet street in Tulon Port. The elderly human boss saw so many officers coming to the door, including a general, but he just nodded his head in a neither humble nor condescending manner and invited them to sit in the innermost compartment of the store.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone's appetites were fully satisfied, and the slight discomfort in facing Yu Lian's general star disappeared.

"Actually, you have to learn to adapt from the beginning." Yu Lian said with a smile: "I am a psyker no matter what, and I am still a disciple of the Spirit Research Association, so I will definitely be promoted higher than you guys."

"No, I feel even worse now. Tsk...why can a guy like you awaken psychic powers?" Wayne gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"Your biggest regret now is that you didn't fight enough before he awakened?" Kent said with a smile.

"You're damn right!"

Then, all the friends laughed together. At this time, everyone finally had a little memory of the excitement of youth.

In other words, judging from everyone's age, there is still a lot of youth that can be wasted.

Yu Lian suddenly felt that it was actually quite good for him to be sent back to Xinyumen like this. If you take a position in the Expeditionary Fleet Command, you should not ask your friends from the youth club to drink. After all, he is already a general, and he is currently at war, and he is in a place like the Expedition Fleet, where there are many factions and hidden malicious intentions. If he continues to attract friends like this, it will indeed cause unnecessary trouble.

But then again, why are all the club friends here?

Yu Lian glanced at Wayne curiously, but the latter just drank himself a sip of wine with a strange look on his face. Kent, who was next to him, answered that the expeditionary fleet had left a fleet of fast battleships in Xinyumen, which had been used to maintain the safety of the supply line.

"Although you have wiped out the pirate groups here several times in previous reconnaissance operations, you also know that pirates are like garbage in a room. If you don't pay attention to it for a period of time, it will always accumulate. Moreover, there are too many signs to prove that there is a lot of collusion between pirates and plunderers." Michiel Kent said: "Moreover, the devil's maze from Nantianmen to the front line is actually a road that requires a full run. The moon's passage will pass through dozens of unmanned galaxies along the way, and there may be dangers hidden everywhere."

"After all, the frontline army is of this size, and the supply line is the most important. We can't just sprinkle pepper noodles and leave some garrisons in every system." Wayne said.

"If any commander had planned it like this, the plunderer Khan opposite would be laughing so hard in his sleep. In short, you are being made a grain officer. Horatio, is this suitable for you?"

"I am a soldier. The community needs all soldiers to fulfill their duties." Wayne said with a straight face.

"This is a very suitable thing for you to say." Yu Lian smiled: "But why are you all left behind?"

"It's a coincidence!" Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses.

"coincide?"

"Yes. Wayne is the captain of the destroyer, and Kent serves as the staff officer of the escort fleet commander of the heavy cruiser Yanjing. And I will continue to sit in Xinyumen to help the logistics department. As for Zhengqing and William, one is He One of the second officers of the Mann 12 light cruiser is the chief engineer of the Burgundy heavy cruiser. I heard that he will be transferred to the New World soon." Akinayama Hachiman thought for a moment and then said: "In short, if we cooperate, It’s perfect for escort missions, but it must be a coincidence!”

"There are still more than 200,000 marines in Xinyumen, and troops from allied countries will follow. But these troops have no combat effectiveness unless they fall on the ground and in the space city. If pirates really take advantage of the loophole, it will be It's so funny," Kent said.

"Who said that? Everyone is obviously implicated by this guy." Yu Lian pointed at Wayne and said: "We are all young officers who have just graduated for more than two years. Because they are all good enough, it is understandable that they can hold important positions. . However, this guy is the only one who has become the captain. In such a short period of time, no matter how gorgeous his resume is, it is unconvincing, right? Normal people would find it unreliable, so they would have to move him to the rear."

Wayne blinked his eyes, but there was no anger at all, and he just let out a hearty laugh: "Ah hahahaha, your liaison officer left the front line battlefield, after all, you are a little emotional. I understand very well, come on, I’ll fill it up for you! Take this drink and calm down your mood. Tomorrow will be another sunny day!”
