Chapter 537 Dove Occupies Magpie's Nest

It has been nearly half a month since the "Dilal" was attacked, and the Morning Star finally rushed back at the "fastest speed".

Today's "Dilar" is different from the travel time. From the edge of the star system to the satellite "Crystal" of "Lachesis", the patrol boats, engineering ships, and medical ships of the 44th Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy come and go. Like traveling through the stars.

The supply space station that was originally deployed in the sky above "Christian" has been torn apart under the attack of the First Fleet of the Night Legion, turned into a pile of steel wreckage, and was pulled away by the navy's engineering ship.

The above-ground buildings in the industrial park were once again baptized by the flames of war. Nearly half of them were reduced to ruins. The defense and communication systems were paralyzed. At a glance, they were devastated. Only the area around the connecting passage leading to the underground part barely maintained its original appearance.

The place where the "Morning Star" appeared was near the sixth planet "Ludope". It was not because Captain Tang was cautious. He was forced out of the virtual space. The culprit was three heavy interceptor ships and a A patrol fleet consisting of 30 frigates and 5 destroyers.

No one would be happy to be stopped at the door of one's own house. Under Tang Fang's order, Yuffie immediately sent a contact request to the patrol fleet and informed her of her identity information.

In her opinion, this is just a routine, because the "Morning Star" has long been famous in the Covenant, and unless the commander of the patrol team is blind, he will not recognize the origin of his own warship.

The commander of the patrol was naturally not blind, but he didn't let them go immediately, but asked them to wait for a while on the grounds that they needed to notify the fleet headquarters.

Wait a moment... wait a moment indeed!

About half an hour later, I just received the "release" order from the Fleet Command. The Fleet Command didn't even show their faces, as if this was their chassis. Rather than the home of the "Morning Star", it seems that Captain Tang is an insignificant little character, not worthy of the personal reception of the generals of the headquarters.

This could be called arrogance, or it could be premeditated.

Yuffie was a little upset, and Joey next to her gritted her teeth with hatred. When I was in "Jakartapur" before, whether it was Newton Bell or Dalton Evelyn, they were all polite and courteous to him and Walton, and now they are on their own territory. But it also depends on the color of others.

Tang Fang sat in the captain's seat, his expression remained unchanged, and ordered the pilot crew to continue heading towards "Christian", and said casually, "I'm thinking about our safety, why are you all so stern. You should be grateful." right."

Freya struggled out of her arms, said very seriously, "Tang Fang, you are lying."

Claire refilled his glass with plain water,

He smiled and said, "Oh, even Freya knows you're lying."

Tang Fang said, "Does the word 'bad guy' be engraved on my face?"

Everyone on the bridge nodded.

"Well, I admit that I am speaking against my conscience."

…………

A moment later, the "Morning Star" arrived in the high-altitude orbit of "Christelle". A longsword-class frigate sailed out from the shadowy side, and it was the ship sent by Arsen Nicholas to meet everyone.

After a brief conversation, the "Morning Star" followed it and sailed to the sunny side of "Christelle".

Because the two space stations in the high-altitude orbit of "Christian" have been damaged. The pirate fleet led by Chen Jian and Stephen Su can only park in space, like a helpless duckweed.

Not far away, a large space station is taking shape on the high-altitude orbit of "Lachesis". It comes from the Covenant Navy, and it is made up of specially-made large ships, just like the ancient army set up a camp, providing supplies, maintenance, dispatch, command and other operations for the frontline fleet.

The 44th Fleet can definitely be called a dedicated naval fleet. David Conan ordered them to strengthen their defenses and guard "Dilal". In order to avoid being attacked by the Night Army or Pirates again, they simply moved their headquarters to "Dilal". While unconditionally helping "Morning Star Foundry" and "Venus Star Pharmaceutical" to clean up the battlefield and carry out rescue work, at the same time, they are stepping up the construction of a space station for military use and laying out a defense network with "Laches" as the core.

If viewed from a far distance, the space-based defense facilities launched by the 44th Fleet and the peripheral patrol fleet seem to be two large nets, tightly wrapping "Christelle" in the middle. The pirate group of Bert, Whitebeard and others came, and they were bound to encounter a head-on blow.

Of course, some people don't think so. Instead of feeling safe, they feel like they are in danger, such as Stephen Sue.

"These bastards are nothing more than weasels giving New Year greetings to chickens, and they have no good intentions."

This was the first sentence he said after seeing Captain Tang,

Arsen Nicholas's face was also not very good-looking. He didn't care about the pleasantries, and said worriedly: "What are you thinking? Or what are you planning? Now that the Star Alliance navy is involved, isn't the matter too big? ?”

"That's right... There is no reason to deliberately sell the old nest to the enemy. Now it's good, the wolf is leaving, and the tiger is blocking the house... Those bastards in the navy are not protecting us, they are simply monitoring and restricting."

Stephen? Su talked a lot more than usual today, because he couldn't tear Sister Qi away. Why did Tang Fang do this?

In fact, even if Albert, Whitebeard, Black Pearl, Cobra, and the Hannibal Pirates were not performing this scene in no man's land, he and Chen Jian would find other excuses to lead the garrison fleet out for a stroll, Therefore, it is purely clever of Albert that idiot to take out his old den as bait.

But... From Albert's standpoint, selling his old nest is forced to do nothing. Why did Captain Tang sell his lair? What good does "Christian" have his industrial park ruined? No matter how you look at it, it is a matter that makes enemies and relatives painful, and now it has attracted the Star Alliance navy to play the game of doves occupying magpies' nests. Soldiers."

Stephen Su, as a senior conspiracy theorist, on the one hand, thinks that a smart person like Captain Tang would not be so stupid as to shoot himself in the foot, but on the other hand, he can't understand the attack on "Dilal" What good will it do him.

Tang Fang didn't answer his question, nor did he explain to Arsen Nicholas, but asked Chen Jian, who was in charge of intelligence collection, "Tell me about the loss of the fleet?"

"This action resulted in the sinking of 15 frigates, 4 destroyers and 1 cruiser. More than 40 warships were damaged to varying degrees. Three warships in the patrol team that remained in 'Dilal' were caught off guard by the Eye Legion. The First Fleet was sunk, and the remaining ships escaped the battle according to the original plan and were saved. In addition... Albert's spies inside the fleet have all been eradicated."

He nodded. Then asked: "Where are Ruskin and Sheridan?"

Chen Jian was about to tell him that he was on the way, when suddenly, the door of the bridge of the Dullahan opened, and Sheridan and Ruskin stepped into the bridge.

It can be seen that the two are full of energy, and they are very different from the tragic situation of the ground buildings in the industrial park. They don't look like they were attacked at all.

Stephen Su felt that these two guys must have a grudge against those victims. Otherwise, why are these two bastards still smiling like rose flowers when their bones are not cold? He watched with his own eyes the park staff who survived the war bury those who died in the war in the icy soil layer of "Christian". Names were engraved on the broken stone tablet.

Tang Fang asked, "What's the matter?"

Sheridan begged a cigar from the veteran. Suck twice hard and give him an "ok" gesture.

Ruskin added two more sentences: "Only Medelev had some minor problems. He was taken away by the landing force belonging to the First Fleet of the Night Army, and his life and death are unknown."

"It doesn't matter." Tang Fang waved his hand: "As long as the military doesn't suspect anything."

Sheridan hurriedly finished smoking his cigar, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and said: "There is no need to worry about the military. They have limited knowledge of the situation in the industrial park, and it is impossible to investigate and deal with any mistakes. But some staff members and the newly arrived Su It is inevitable that workers from Shandong, Mongolia and Asia will feel fear, and some people have come to me in the past few days, hoping to send them away."

"Just send them away." Tang Fang waved his hand: "The old saying is good. True gold must be tempered by fire. Only those who dare to stay after experiencing disasters are trustworthy."

Sheridan nodded: "I'll deal with this right away when I get back."

Stephen Su was a little puzzled after hearing these words. He... he actually used this attack as a testing ground to test whether his employees are trustworthy? How ruthless a person must be to do this...

Ruskin walked up to Stephen Su at some point, crossing his arms. Intentionally or unintentionally, he said: "Do you believe in the saying 'seeing is believing'? Anyway, from now on, I will never believe it."

Bai Yue came out from nowhere and looked down at the two of them. After a long silence, he muttered, "Two idiots."

The deputy head has good ears. Hearing this, he was furious and said, "What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts."

Bai Yue said, "You can't beat me."

Stephen Su thought about it, and felt that what he said was very reasonable. Not only could he not beat him, even if Chen Jian and Yasen Nicholas were added, the outcome would be at most 55, but... this kid's mouth is too twitchy.

"Look... the truth is always harsh, and lies are mostly beautiful."

Stephen thought for a while, pulled Ruskin's arm and walked a little further, and continued to dig into the deep meaning behind the phrase "seeing is believing", unwilling to be serious with this "brain-dead philosopher" who lived in reality.

At this moment, the Headless Horseman received a communication request from the bridge of the "Morning Star" from the 44th Fleet Command of the Covenant Navy.

Tang Fang stopped everyone's conversation, walked to the captain's seat and sat down, and the order was transferred to the No. 1 big screen.

After a little effort, the screen flashed, and a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, short flat hair, and a little stubble on his chin appeared in front of everyone.

"I am the deputy commander of the 44th Fleet of the Covenant Navy, Pompeii Clark."

The voice is loud, full of spirit, and there is an unquestionable military majesty.

Tang Fang responded lightly: "Tang Fang"

Different from Major General Pompeii's masculinity, his voice is weak, like a fruit seller who wakes up from a nap in midsummer and can't lift his spirits. It makes people wonder if he has been hit too hard, so that he has lost the vivacity and publicity of the past.

Pompeii Clark doesn't care about Captain Tang's mental state, nor does he care about the loss of the "Cristier" industrial park. His connection to the "Morning Star" this time is just to make a request or an order, and the cooperation of the people there is also very important. have to cooperate. You have to cooperate even if you don't cooperate.

"Admiral David Conan, the commander-in-chief of the Star Alliance Navy's Ayalos-Koplin-Slandal theater, ordered the 44th Fleet I will stay here for a long time in the future, and I hope you can cooperate.”

Tang Fang was not surprised. He continued to say in his sickly tone, "What is cooperation?"

"The defense mission of the entire star system is entrusted to us. You only need to engage in commercial production with peace of mind. In the days to come, the Covenant Navy will protect your personal safety."

It can be seen that he is a difficult person to get along with. When he said this, his tone was harsh and outrageous. It seemed that it was not a discussion at all, but an announcement to the detainees, with a cold face and even colder tone.

A literati has the nobility of a literati, and a warrior has the pride of a warrior.

He despises businessmen who seek profit everywhere. I also look down on insidious and cunning politicians with long sleeves and dancers. I think these people are lazy, greedy for life and afraid of death, and have no masculinity. They are just a group of villains who play tricks.

He felt aggrieved and worthless protecting such a person.

Tang Fang's identity is very subtle. He is a businessman, somewhat political, and at the same time a foreigner. If it hadn't been for what he said on the sns TV station, the major general wouldn't even bother to say hello.

This is different from the arrogance of the nobles of the Monya Empire towards the common people, it is a kind of professional arrogance.

Pompey believed that he was a soldier with the bounden duty of defending the people and the responsibility of protecting the country, so. He is patriotic and dedicated, willing to give his life for the Star Alliance. So noble, so great. A gopher like Tang Fang who only knows how to show off and play tricks should be in awe of him.

He really looked down on the listless young man opposite him.

Tang Fang didn't reply immediately, but moved his body slightly backwards, huddled in the soft down of the tiger skin cushion, neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither anxious nor annoyed, and still said in that feeble voice: "I finally know you Why is he still only a deputy commander despite his age."

"Huh." Pompeii Clark didn't become angry because of this sentence. Of course, people with status don't care about small people. Even if this small person makes some people in the parliament troubled, in his eyes, he is still a small person. Like the one that happened not long after "Dillard."

In front of the army, Tang Fang and his "Morning Star Casting" are nothing more than a clown who can't stand on the stage. The only thing he is good at is kidnapping public opinion with despicable means, using the people of the Star Alliance as a shield, and meeting people like the Evil Night Legion Overbearing forces can only be slaughtered like a coward, and then hide in a corner and lick their wounds.

He really looked down on such a person, thinking that Captain Tang's retort was cowardly and incompetent, and he would only show off his quick tongue.

"The words I have brought... the words are all here."

After speaking, without waiting for Tang Fang's reaction, he unilaterally cut off the connection.

No one spoke until Bai Yue complained for Tang Fang, but his point of view was very strange, and he even said uniquely: "Have you paid your taxes? Just to raise a bunch of dogs to bark in front of you? I really feel unworthy for you. "

Roy said: "Soldiers risk their lives to defend the country. They are cute and respectable. Don't blackmail them."

Bai Yue asked back: "So they can blackmail us unscrupulously? For example, 'troublemakers'... I remember that your motherland is the Monya Empire. When you were arrested by Faraday for experiments, where were the soldiers who were supposed to protect you? ? Oh...they're guarding the gates for Faraday."

Roy's face was flushed, but he didn't know what to say to refute.

Right now Bai Hao is not here, so Bai Yue is much more arrogant than usual.

Tang Fang still huddled in the silky fluff of the captain's tiger leather cushion, and the emotion on his lips was not quite clear.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Ai asked.

"He's a jerk."

Zhou Ai said: "You are also very attractive."

Captain Tang said, "I didn't pull him."

Zhou Ai said: "No...no...you are definitely more attractive than him. As the saying goes, 'It's easy to block the bright show, but it's hard to guard against the dark.'"

"Zhou Ai, who did you learn your lip-smacking skills? You are good at it."

Without even thinking about it, the girl replied casually, "You."

The skin under Stephen Su's eyelids trembled like a sieve, and he muttered, "Is there any mistake? The people in the Navy have blocked the door of the house, and they are still joking."

Chen Jian suddenly remembered something, looked at the captain's seat and asked, "Where's Byron? Where did Byron go?"

Howson threw away the butt of his cigarette and said something very literary: "Who's new love is not someone else's old love."

The veteran said: "You obviously can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour."

When Captain Tang's family was carelessly doing homework, Pompeii Clark came down from the captain's seat on the bridge of the "Independence Day", the flagship of the 44th Fleet of the Covenant Navy in the high-altitude orbit of the "Lachesis". Looking at an Asian woman much younger than him, he said, "Why did you entrust this job to me? You know that I hate people like him."

"I also know that you don't like me." A smile rose from the corner of the woman's mouth, she said with her eyes narrowed, "Would you believe me if I said that I did this to annoy him?"

Pompey said, "What good will this do you?"

"Don't you think it's fun to tease a stray dog?"

"Hmph, Nakamura Mie, if someone as mean as you does this, it must be better than mine."

"So you can only be my deputy --- a big man like you can be the deputy to a little girl like me." She said with a smile, very happy and brilliant, like hanging in the sky Great sun above. (to be continued)
