Chapter 495: Saving the Elephant Plan - Black Shield on Watch
"Commodore Georgy Cobb?"
On the bridge of the Silver Dawn, Calvin took off his helmet and put it beside him, then looked at the middle-aged man on the other side of the video signal.
The uniform of the Imperial Navy seemed a little tight on him, and from the unremarkable honors on his chest, Calvin did not find any record that made his eyes light up.
And the fact is indeed so.
In the context of the entire star field being trapped in a state of long-term front-line preparation or war due to the threat of the Eye of Terror.
A middle-aged naval officer did not die in battle or get promoted, but was assigned to this position in the rear to be responsible for the safety of the waterway in the environment of war in the front.
A light cruiser as the main battleship, plus four destroyers, is the entire force under the command of the man in front of him, and such a marginalized function in Calvin's eyes can itself show that the other party has no good evaluation in the naval system.
"Yes, sir." Cobb replied with a serious face, and the tense muscles behind him betrayed his nervousness.
The changes of the Inquisition were a secret to the naval system, and the identity of the person in front of him was a fog to him.
Apart from the shocking size of the Silver Dawn, the effective information he could receive was pitifully small.
But this was enough. The Queen of Glory was not only the belief of the Astartes, but also the ultimate dream of every naval officer.
When such a magnificent silver space behemoth appeared in front of him like a dream, even a fool knew what to choose.
"Tell me about the situation here." Calvin waved his hand to signal Cobb to relax, and then looked down at the data board in his hand.
The operation log of Belis Airport has been transmitted to the right place, and the information of "Cobb" in front of him is also among them.
Although cold data has always been the best retelling of facts, he still wants to hear his subjective assessment of the battlefield ahead from the mouth of this commander.
"The aliens have cut off the astropathic network and are harassing the waterways leading to the outside world." Cobb thought for a moment and then said.
"Continue." Calvin did not look up and continued to look at the information on the data board.
Several hours have passed since the fleet jumped out of the subspace and completed the first battle.
Although the astropaths of the Silver Dawn did not participate in the war, the information from Sepramondi was pouring into the bridge through the astropathic translation.
Calvin, who has deep psychic power, did not even need to wait for the text conversion, and had already read the pessimism of the leaders of the star domain authorities in advance.
The Hazy Star Domain has not rested for thousands of years. The star zone fleet, which has been in a state of combat, is also recognized as the "officer meat grinder" by the Imperial Naval Academy.
The Eye of Terror has already tied up the main force of the star domain. After investing limited resources in the alien war in the Gothic direction, the adults in the star domain capital really have no cards to play.
"But I think the situation there is not as serious as imagined."
"Oh?" Calvin finally raised his head and looked at him with interest.
In the data displayed on the data board in his hand, Cobb, who came from a naval military family, was very different from the firmness and decisiveness advocated by his family tradition.
This Mesozoic officer who graduated 100 years ago has been famous for being very good at "preserving living forces" since he entered the service.
The transport fleet, the escort fleet, the main cruiser and even the mixed battle group today have never given this guy a bit of courage;
If he can fight, he will fight, and if he can't fight, he will turn around and run away, which makes the fleet in his hands have extremely low losses, and also earns the contempt of friendly forces and colleagues.
However, his record of serving since the end of 38k and even participating in the direct war against the Eye of Chaos made the Navy of the Misty Star Domain Empire hate him, but also had to give him a normal promotion.
Being able to run is probably the only advantage of this man who was awarded the rank of brigadier general in middle age (the life expectancy of the imperial nobles is generally much longer than that of the civilians, usually over 200 years old);
And in this kind of battle situation analysis, the bold remarks he made are obviously inconsistent with his previous personality - especially inconsistent with his previous negative report on Sepramondi.
There must be a reason for everything, and Calvin wants to know what this "reason" is.
"We have been harassed. The alien fleet is very flexible and is purposefully cutting off our information channels.
But! But it is precisely because of this that I am more certain that the aliens do not have the ability to completely solve our fleet.
They are delaying, and what we need most now is to break the blockade!"
"Well said!" Calvin stood up and transmitted the records on the data board in reverse to the other side.
And the most conspicuous position on the screen in front of General Cobb is the record of his previous report on the direction of the capital of the Misty Star Region.
"Explain it." Calvin grinned.
At the same time, in the starry sky, after Calvin's fleet joined Cobb's battle group, it happened to surround the light cruiser with three main battleships in a triangular position.
The atmosphere of the video conference was quite subtle, but both Calvin and Cobb knew the consequences of the latter's failed explanation.
The Inquisition never tolerated any sand in its eyes, and the difference Cobb showed in front of and behind people was enough for Calvin to accuse him of being contaminated without investigation.
"Ahem..." Cobb, who was almost choked to death by his own saliva, cleared his throat and finally regained the ability to speak.
Calvin was not in a hurry, just waiting for the other party's explanation with a smile on his face.
"In fact, the star field has a mobile force that can be used on the nearby battlefield. But..."
"But what?" Calvin asked.
"But that is under your jurisdiction, and the star domain authorities have no right to mobilize it."
Cobb said as he transmitted the data in his hand, and on the data board in front of Calvin, a striking blue hexagonal logo was also lit up simultaneously.
"Watch Barrier?" Calvin looked at the exclusive mark of the anti-foreign order and said with some doubt.
Let's not talk about the battlefield ahead. Before the changes, it was a battle against the orcs. Let's say that the Inquisition is part of the Misty Star Domain authorities. There is no reason why there are troops here that cannot be mobilized?
He first looked at Cobb on the other side of the screen, and then remembered that the other party could not know this information, so he looked at the representative of the Inquisition behind him, indicating that the latter should call out the relevant information.
And the latter did not disappoint him. The high-level authority from the Holy Hammer Order was input, and the internal agreements of the three major orders were activated by Calvin's personal key;
On the screen on the bridge of the Silver Dawn, a Death Watch Fortress Monastery named "Desperate Watch" appeared in front of everyone.
In this fortress monastery that can support thousands of Astartes warriors to train and rest, there is a "Black Shield" with nearly a thousand people on standby.
And the leader of this unit is even more familiar to Calvin:
"Hmm, Talos? It's been a long time since we last met..."
