Chapter 1148 Interstellar Pirates
Ever since the various races in the interstellar world began to differentiate between genders, women have shouldered the responsibility of childbearing, so their bodies are not as strong and tough as men's. This characteristic has become even more evident since the interstellar creatures truly began the era of interstellar hegemony.
For example, as warriors, men generally work as mecha warriors, battleship commanders, or battleship pilots, and other occupations that require high intensity and precision, while women are mostly medical officers or researchers.
In fact, when recruiting the entire Starfleet, under the same conditions, even medical officers and researchers will be more inclined to hire men, because in the face of long-term interstellar journeys, men's physical tolerance and coordination are higher than Girls are stronger.
Of course, there are also many star races with special abilities that would welcome women to join. However, as a member of the Hess race, Kagel does not belong to one of those special races.
In an era when the overall fertility rate in the alliance was low, Kagel's mother lost her fertility after giving birth to Kagel. In order to protect her position as patriarch and to give her daughter the broadest possible future, Kagel The father took the risk to change Cagle's gender.
However, although the written gender can be changed, the physical gender cannot.
Ever since, when Cagle and Michael were both still young, by chance, Michael discovered the difference in Cagle's body. However, after learning that Cagle was a girl, he heard about Cagle. Michael did not tell anyone else about the reason why Geer became a 'boy', but swore to Cagle that he would help Cagle keep it secret.
Michael did a very good job in keeping this secret. At the very least, no one noticed during the entire period when Cagle was growing up and when she succeeded her father as the captain and supreme commander of the Alpha battleship. Cagle's true gender.
As they grow older, the talents of Michael and Cagle also appear. Michael is a natural mecha warrior, a prodigy in physical fitness and control of the machine frame, while Cagle is in military command. Has very good talent.
The two are both military students and from the same family. They will basically have a close superior-subordinate relationship in the future. Michael has told Cagle countless times that she will be the most powerful commander in the future, and he , will serve as the right-hand man of the other party, and work with her to create a world of their own in the interstellar sea.
But it was Michael like this who had ideological differences with Kagel in times of crisis. Unlike Kagel, who wanted to do his best to protect low-level civilization planets, Michael believed that the warriors of the entire fleet were their entire team. The soul of the group, under such a situation where the enemy is coming fiercely, will go to death despite knowing that it will die. The final result will be that the low-level planet will be wiped out. Michael feels that Cagel's order is ridiculous.
Michael, who wanted to take all his comrades back, took the opportunity to use his power as first officer to usurp Cagle's command.
However, Michael did not expect that the matter would develop to such a serious level, that Kagel would be sent to a military court, and his father, the acting patriarch, came to seriously explain to Michael that if Kagel was still Alpha's Owner, then it is very likely that after this unfavorable court hearing, the Alpha battleship will be returned to the alliance.
As a last resort, Michael could only obey his father's request and compete fairly with Kagel first - an excellent commander, in addition to having strong battle thinking, should also have superior mecha control capabilities. , and Cagle is physically weaker than other men, which has always been a controversial point for Cagle.
After the competition is launched, if Cagle wins, then he will become the new owner of the Alpha and can also keep their battleship.
Michael's thinking was very simple. He knew that he did not have Kagel's commanding ability. He could be a warrior wielding weapons, but he could be a commander who needed macro-planning. Michael knew that he would not be better than Kagel.
No one is more suitable to be the owner of the Alpha than Kagel, and he is only temporarily keeping the Alpha for Kagel. After Kagel comes out of the military court, Kagel will immediately return the Alpha. Cagle - That's what Michael thought at first.
Unfortunately, how Michael thinks is completely different from how his father thinks.
The acting patriarch knew that Michael had a good relationship with Cagel, so he deliberately used this to make Michael think that he was only temporarily saving the Alpha battleship for the Hess tribe.
But in fact, the real content of this duel is the position of patriarch and the ownership of Alpha.
These two things will be registered once the results are produced, and there will be no situation of giving or not. The acting patriarch has already thought about what to do with Kagel when the time comes - exile to the garbage planet. Let her never come back.
Moreover, in order to ensure the completeness of the plan, the acting patriarch also deliberately released the news that Cagel was a girl, disturbing onlookers within the entire alliance system.
Gender will be revealed as soon as it is checked, and it cannot be faked. Cagle exposed the girl's gender at an opportunity he absolutely did not want, and at the same time, it also caused an uproar in the entire galaxy.
Michael was very panicked about this incident, and he immediately wanted to tell Cagle that he was not the one who said this.
However, until he went to the battlefield and faced the cold-faced Kagel, Michael had no chance to say anything. In fact, he was shocked that the true meaning of this duel turned out to be the complete replacement of the patriarch and the Alpha!
Unfortunately, there is no turning back. Michael must risk his friendship with Cagle and temporarily save the Alpha belonging to the Hess family.
However, Cagle did not want to listen to Michael's words. Ever since the other party snatched her command, Cagle and Michael were destined to be unable to return to their previous relationship.
Later, problems with the energy output of Michael's robotic arm caused Cagle's serious injury.
Just when Michael was surrounded by everyone on the stage and was officially awarded the status of patriarch and Alpha battleship captain by the alliance's senior officials, Cagel, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was sent by the acting patriarch's people into a one-way aircraft to the garbage star.
Even though Michael frantically began to search for Cagle, he was never found. Cagle had been seriously injured and died during the flight to the garbage star.
