Him and their stars

Yeager Soback, who has become His Excellency the General, of course does not know that once the gift of fate is on track, it will always chase him to feed him. Now, he is carrying out his first serious military mission after completing repairs. He is commanding a convoy of twelve small and medium-sized battleships with the cruiser Buran as the flagship, escorting a supply fleet with eight large cargo ships. The front line of the "Devil's Throat".

These eight large cargo ships, including two ancient saint-class ships that look like space cities, can transport enough materials to support the tens of millions of troops on the front line for a month. It can be regarded as the largest escort fleet sent to the front line during this period.

Brigadier General Soback suddenly felt a heavy responsibility, but he still accepted the order calmly. However, he is also a person who has witnessed the Ares Festival, the Extreme Star Wars and the Enlightenment War Puppet. When it comes to the "high-quality copies" he has experienced, he is definitely ahead of most of his colleagues in the Knights. When a person has endured too much pain that life cannot bear, even if he is a natural coward, he will not pay attention to ordinary pressure. This is actually very reasonable.

It was actually smooth sailing along the way. However, when the transport fleet left the borders of the Empire's New World, deviated from the New World's highway routes, entered the Devil's Star Channel, and arrived at the Empire's most advanced base in the DL02 galaxy, some minor changes occurred.

It was not that they encountered enemies, but more than a dozen transport ships that barely retreated from the front. As soon as these unlucky ships entered the supply route of the Devil's Maze Channel, they were attacked by predators. Although the ship and cargo were not taken away, the hull was seriously damaged. Naturally, they did not dare to continue moving forward, so they had to temporarily withdraw. After landing, prepare to return to the Iris Cross System for repairs, which has a dry dock and complete maintenance facilities.

In fact, the Snowstorm and other ships of the "Archaeological Fleet" also completed their repairs from there.

It would be no problem to go back and repair the ship. Soback felt that if it were him, driving a cargo ship riddled with holes, he would never dare to risk being intercepted by more predators and run to the front line. He is such a very empathetic person.

However, it is really a waste of transportation capacity to bring the cargo back directly to the rear.

Thinking of this, Soback's logistics soul began to burn.

"I know that the supply lines are not very safe recently, but the transport fleet is attacked only once every four times on average, and the enemy captures the ship only five times in total. What kind of risk is this? Let the damaged transport ship unload all the cargo. When we get here, yes, I mean all of them! Yes, put the polar equipment delivered two days ago onto the White Rhino 12! You only have two hours! If the shipment has not been completed within two hours, I I’ll help you with proton torpedoes and launch them into variable-light stars, and I will do what I say!”

Commodore Yeager Soback showed unprecedented courage and sprayed the transport ship captains whose average seniority was more than twice his own until they could no longer take care of themselves and had no choice but to obey. Immediately afterwards, he contacted the front-line logistics manager of the DL02 galaxy.

This galaxy has two large lava planets, and the surface is visually covered with high-energy gases and heavy metal elements that are easy to mine. The Imperial Army set up two mining shafts and a rough-processing orbital factory here. Not counting robots, there are a total of 2,000 workers and technicians in the entire department. It is definitely a large-scale factory. It is managed by an Angmang colonel and can directly provide solid fuel and high-explosive gas to the front line. Occasionally, some zero elements can be collected.

"What about the 40 million tons of high-pressure solid fuel agreed upon?" Soback asked.

"It's done and is being packed into boxes! It will take another three hours..." The older Angmang colonel was sweating profusely, and even his brown hair, which was tinged with white, seemed to be a little damp. .

"You only have two hours!" Soback said coldly.

The colonel wanted to explain that when the friendly ship that was attacked on the supply route retreated, he also had to provide manpower, equipment and fuel, which affected the normal work. However, he also knew that the imperial army's military laws were strict, and the people above him would not listen to his explanation.

Among the Imperial Army's warriors who are full of martial virtue, who can become a general? Moreover, after all, he is the disciple of Duke Sadolan, so he sounds particularly fierce!

In this way, under the command of Brigadier General Soback, the escort supply fleet suddenly entered a high-speed operation state, and everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. Of course, after doing all this, he realized that this seemed to be inconsistent with his previous personality, so he explained to his core friends: "Well, well, I'm worried too! It's probably because Maybe it's because I grew up in the colonies. I always saw transport ships traveling between the mainland and the New World. I would rather carefully carry the special luxury goods on dozens of layers of silk cushions and stuff the cabin like a can, but I don't want to go too far. Transport some daily necessities and food. Wasting transportation capacity is a crime against the empire!"

Captain Hongshan asked curiously: "After all, you are also a citizen family. There is no shortage of daily necessities for the citizen community, right?"

"Well, but the goods provided to the ordinary citizen community, as well as the labor camps of slaves and criminals are not enough..." When Soback said this, he found that the other party was looking at him as if he was looking at a visual spectacle. , and he was suddenly startled on the spot: "Why would I think about the problem from this aspect?"

Captain Hongshan shrugged: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"No, I just think that this will become more and more dangerous." Soback shrank his neck guiltily and decided not to tell anyone about the fact that he was reading "The Original Theory" recently.

Fortunately, Miss Serlu, the daughter of the Marquis over there, didn't seem to hear what was going on, and just comforted: "You did the right thing. Although you are a kind-hearted commander who cares about your subordinates, as a commander you really need the wrath of thunder. One side. When the time comes, no matter which officer you plan to shoot, just leave it to us to execute it."

As psykers, Astral Knights and Inquisitors are born with the authority to enforce military law as military judges, and the former is even more direct than the latter.

"Anyway, it can be seen that you are indeed very happy with your job." Captain Hongshan said: "There is just a small detail issue. Your duty is to escort, and does not include logistics management authority."

"It doesn't matter. You are the admiral of the escort fleet, and you also have the position of chief staff officer of the logistics department. This is just a written report. Let me help handle it." Miss Serlu said.

"What did you call me just now?" Soback asked.

The eldest lady of the Marquis family was slightly startled: "Your Excellency?"

"No, the back."

"Admiral of the escort fleet?"

"No, no, I mean the last one."

"Chief Staff Officer of the Logistics Department?"

"Yes, yes, that's it! This is the best title. Although it's just a temporary guest position, it's better than a general! Serlu, brother Hongshan, will you call me Director Suo from now on?"

Captain Hongshan and Miss Serlu looked at each other, both thinking that this guy might have a serious illness, but at this time there was really no evidence.

In this way, this large-scale supply fleet quickly completed the filling work and continued to advance towards the front line. Although we were delayed for several hours in the DL02 galaxy, we should still be able to reach our destination as planned.

Brigadier General Yeager Soback really felt that his condition was very good, not a little good, but a great one.

He finally wore the dazzling gem star with justifiable authority, and from then on he could be called "Your Excellency" in a dignified manner. As a person whose life goal is to "become a general, marry rich and beautiful, and revive the family business", he finally achieved his first small goal before the age of thirty. Isn't this worthy of joy?

Of course, in the eyes of others, as a close disciple of Duke Sartolan, the young general who made great achievements in the previous Battle of the Gate of Glory and the subsequent Devil's Sky Adventure, the three-ring boss, got a General stars are also natural. Don’t you see that the other four heavenly kings are already generals?

Although he, Colonel Yeager Soback, is still only a third-level warrior and is indeed the weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings, since it is an empire full of martial virtues, it must pay attention to clear rewards and punishments.

If he doesn't wear the general's star, it would be a blasphemy to Duke Sadolan... Of course, Duke Sadolan is a super boss who is moving towards the side of truth after all, so he shouldn't need to pay attention to these mundane matters for the time being. Chores. However, he can have an attitude, but we must have an attitude.

In addition, since Soback's first task after completion of repairs was to escort the supply fleet, the headquarters gave him the title of chief staff officer of the Logistics Department, which was equivalent to a temporary position like a liaison officer. But he was very excited and felt that this was the first step in getting his life on track. As long as one can prove one's strengths in this area, who can't say that the temporary will not become permanent?

Because of this, Commodore Yeager Soback showed a rare initiative and packed the cargo of all the transport ships that had lost the ability to move forward on his own ship, escorting all the convoys. In the security work, he maintains a 200% level of dedication and stays at his command position for at least 17 or 18 hours a day.

"Actually, since the ancient holy ship was captured last time, forward combat readiness patrols have become more and more frequent. Since we discovered the new waterway, there have been very few predator fleets." Hongshan Ship Long story.

What he meant was that as the commander, Soback really didn't need to curl up like this, which would make the whole fleet a little nervous.

"...But judging from the frontline battle report, the 13th Fleet of the Community had a battle with the Predator Attack Fleet in the DL20 galaxy the day before yesterday. This shows that we have not blocked all the rat holes." Soback said.

"I heard that after the Earl of Meldike was captured, Lieutenant General Tie Suiyang, who escorted the ship, committed suicide on the Vulcan to apologize." Miss Serlu added, and then lowered her voice and said: " I heard that he cut open the abdominal cavity with a knife, took out the heart with his own hands, placed it on a tray and presented it to His Royal Highness King Solane."

"Does the Kaitai people have any serious illness?" Captain Hongshan was stunned when he heard this.

"Suicide, and you even took out your heart with your own hands..." How painful would that be? Soback's hair stood on end and he hurried over: "Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being careful!"

Perhaps because the fleet he led was indeed too fat, they encountered the enemy again when they arrived at the DL21 galaxy where the Devil's Maze Channel was interrupted.

This time the attackers were more than forty small landing ships, each of which was only the size of a destroyer. They rushed out from the asteroid belt of this system and rushed towards the transport fleet like a pack of hunting hyenas. .

Perhaps, as Soback said, our side has not blocked all the mouse holes, or it may be that the other party has been ambushing in this galaxy. After all, they are all small boats about 100 meters long. If they were hidden in the asteroid belt, they would be like poisonous insects hiding in the grass, which would be difficult to find.

Fortunately, Soback's behavior of leading the entire fleet for several days did have an effect here. The sudden appearance of the enemy was a release for the officers and soldiers who had accumulated a lot of pressure.

As a result, the ferocious bombardment formed a dense fire net, which literally isolated all enemy ships at a safe distance.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Predator fleet prepared to escape, but at this time, a new fleet jumped over from the gravity well exit in the direction of Devil's Roar, and it was the Thirteenth Fleet of the Community.

Under attack from both sides by the "Allied Forces", this large-scale predator fleet was sunk by nearly 80% of its warships, while its own losses were almost negligible.

This victory was the result of sincere cooperation between the two sides. No matter how much the empire and the community disliked each other, they still needed to greet each other with basic etiquette.

"It turns out that your noble officer is His Excellency Yeager Soback! He is indeed his acknowledged enemy!" the commander (?) on the other side of the earth, a young and beautiful female general, praised.

Soback immediately thought of "him", and the expression on his face almost became unbearable. It's enough for you to ruin my reputation with the empire. Why do you do this even more with the people on earth?

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are very grateful. I hope that our cooperation this time can find a good start for the maintenance of the frontline supply line."

In this way, the "allies" who cooperated sincerely kept a safe distance as much as possible...even a safe distance farther than the Predator fleet just now, passed by each other, and headed towards their goals.

"There is no way to continue like this! Only a thousand days can make a thief, there is no reason for a thousand days to prevent a thief." Soback shook his head and complained. However, he only complained. After all, Brigadier General Yeager Soback is just a harmless logistics officer. This kind of higher-dimensional calculations and strategic layouts have their own headaches for the big shots.

Captain Hongshan smiled and said: "I heard that the people on earth are one step faster than me, and their reconnaissance fleet has explored deeper than ours, but His Highness above did not apply for sharing because of the empire's face. Star map information. I think it’s time to make full use of your network resources at this time.”

Miss Serlu's eyes lit up and she analyzed seriously: "Since he is your old enemy, he should give you a favor. Moreover, this is just a private exchange of information between the two brigadiers. Although it is not very rule-based, But it avoids the diplomatic embarrassment at the top level, and it is indeed feasible."

From the perspective of the eldest daughter of the Marquis family, the relationship between heroes with different stances is always very awkward. They can often be read as "old enemy" and written as "best friend", but this is how romantic it is!

Thank you so much! Yeager Soback was about to complain, but a communications officer came over to report that the ship had received a gravitational wave from the rear. The encrypted emergency communications were sent specifically to him.
