Chapter 79 Yi Lexiang asks the marshal for family leave
The old marshal placed the handheld computer on the coffee table. Anokhi was in good condition. Bu Yun's idea obviously coincides with the judgment of the headquarters. The idea of ??the Republic's "last counterattack place" is very good. Compared with some people's radical Bu Yun, he is more rational. It seems that the decision to make Bu Yun the supreme commander of the task force was correct.
??And without domestic support, the task force independently developed many new technologies. In particular, new energy crystals and neutrino communication technologies are what the Republic urgently needs. But what pleased the old marshal most was the sudden appearance of Yi Lexiang. A super mecha god of war was a timely help to boost the current low morale. And Yi Lexiang's good personal relationship with the "Akashic Secret Society" is likely to play an unpredictable role in some specific occasions.
The only thing that worries the old marshal is Yi Lexiang. He has such a complex identity that makes ordinary people envious at such a young age. If these things are disclosed to the public, faced with various temptations that will follow, this man who seems to be very scheming will Can young people with deep feelings control their growing desires?
From the intelligence point of view, Yi Lexiang has also received the support of a group of loyal and iron-blooded soldiers. Not long ago, a secret report from a secret agent of the Secret Service was handed over to the old marshal. The 3,000 mecha warriors following Yi Lexiang had a mecha operating level that far exceeded that of ordinary elite mecha warriors. The Secret Service tried its best to figure out what Yi Lexiang had done, which allowed ordinary mecha soldiers to grow into iron-blooded warriors capable of annihilating Strong's "Royal Guards" in just a few weeks. .
Although the information delivered by the task force answered some of the doubts in the old marshal's mind, a bigger question arose. How did Yi Lexiang rely on a private confidentiality agreement to make everyone follow him wholeheartedly? Outstanding commanding ability and superb mecha technology may gain the loyalty of some people. But it is absolutely impossible for 3,000 soldiers to follow him unswervingly. There must be something that he doesn't know.
There is also Wu Wei, the number two figure in the younger generation of the Wu family after Wu Chao. The old marshal was well aware of this boy's nature. He was a master who never saw rabbits but never let go of eagles. He actually chose his allegiance after experiencing a small-scale ground war. This was a bit incredible.
The old marshal had a headache and closed his eyes, thinking quietly. Yang Haojun was already a headache, but now Yi Lexiang appeared out of nowhere. Although the young Yi Lexiang cannot compare with the heavily armed Yang Haojun, the room for future growth is immeasurable. If it is used well, it will undoubtedly be a sharp blade for the Republic to attack the enemy. If it is not used well, the old marshal can't help but smile bitterly, then it's hard to say.
Bo Jiangang and Du Xianghua had already stopped talking, for fear of disturbing the old marshal's thoughts.
After much thought, Marshal Bai Weiqi decided to have a few words with the young man first. A well-thought-out resolution cannot be made in a day or two. Whether the situation of the Republic can last for a while can only be determined step by step.
"Xiao Yi, well, you don't mind if I call you this!" The old marshal opened his closed eyes and said kindly, with a hint of love in his tone.
Du Xianghua on the side opened his eyes wide in surprise. It was obvious that the old marshal valued this young man from a wealthy family who was somewhat arrogant in his eyes. He has followed the old marshal for many years and naturally knows the old marshal's temper well. I am afraid that his understanding of this young man is somewhat biased.
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Yi Lexiang stood up in fear.
Bai Weiqi waved his hand and motioned for Yi Lexiang to sit down. At present, it seems that this young man's performance is not bad.
"After experiencing a bloody battle on the Orite planet, what are your next plans after returning to the capital planet?" The old marshal's original intention was to ask Yi Lexiang what he thought of him after he won a rare victory. Does the appointment have any special requirements? If Yi Lexiang is proud of his kindness, he will naturally not be reused. However, Yi Lexiang's answer was beyond his expectation.
"I want to apply for family visiting leave!" Yi Lexiang said embarrassedly. Since the boss's boss is sitting in front of him, he might as well just apply for it to save trouble.
Du Xianghua was stunned that someone actually asked the Marshal of the Republic for family leave. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. Bo Jiangang, who was sitting aside, was not surprised. Yi Lexiang was arrested as a young man as soon as he left the new barracks. Many regulations in the army were half-understood. Before coming to the capital planet, I had never even seen a military officer's ID card, so it was not surprising that he asked for family leave from the Marshal of the Republic.
"Ah!?" Bai Weiqi laughed dumbly. This young man is really cute and straightforward. It seems that no one has asked him for family leave since he became the Marshal of the Republic. The old Marshal has become more childlike.
? ???Okay, I'm sure. Haha, but I can only grant you one month. You should also be aware of the domestic situation. You will come back to me immediately after one month, and then the headquarters will make another appointment. "The old marshal's seemingly joking answer also had some considerations on his part. At this juncture, the eyes of all parties were invariably focused on Yi Lexiang, especially after he attended the welcome ceremony. Even if he didn't pay attention in front of him, People who came to Yi Lexiang also paid attention to the young man in front of them because of his appearance.
"Going home to visit relatives" is a clever move. It can avoid the capital star, the center of the storm, and allow yourself to observe what hidden forces are trying to contact this young man secretly. As for Yi Lexiang's new appointment, there is no need to rush. Having more time will also help you and others weigh it before making a decision. It has all the benefits and no harm.
"But" Bai Weiqi thought for a while, "you bring your mecha regiment, and the 99th Mountain Division is also under your command. Jiangang, you can select a group of capable people from the task force that came back this time." Starship soldiers. Xiao Du, you allocate a batch of new warships. Well, also allocate the "Thunder and Lightning" team to him to form a escort fleet."
Du Xianghua and Bo Jiangang stood up solemnly to accept their orders. After accepting the order, Du Xianghua looked puzzled. The old marshal's regard for Yi Lexiang was really too much.
"Old Marshal" Yi Lexiang had a look of reluctance. He was going home to visit relatives and was not leading troops on an expedition to engage in such a large battle. It seemed that there was no need for this.
Bai Weiqi interrupted Yi Lexiang and said kindly.
"Xiao Yi, just because of your status as a super god of war, the military cannot attach too much importance to your safety. There are not many people driving mechas on the ground who can threaten your safety, but what about in space? What if there are no mechas?
¡°Don¡¯t forget, not long ago, Sir Oret, you led your troops to annihilate a battalion of Strong¡¯s Royal Guards.
I estimate that the Imperial Alliance will never let you go. Especially that old guy Strong, I know his temper very well, and I'm afraid he's ready to crush you and drink you.
"To be honest, that's it. I'm still a little worried about your safety, old man." If it weren't for Munro's rear area in Charno, I wouldn't have agreed to your request to go home to visit relatives. However, in view of the current complicated situation in Capital Star, it is a good idea for you to temporarily leave this place of right and wrong. "But" the old marshal had a solemn look on his face.
"You must pay attention to your own safety. Remember, your existence is crucial to Charno on a certain level, so you must not be negligent. If necessary, you can decide whether to leave the battlefield.
Xiao Du, please draft a special military order from the marshal later and issue it to the newly formed escort fleet. Unless Rear Admiral Yi Lexiang is guilty of treason, all fleet members must obey his orders unconditionally. Note: Any action must be to ensure the personal safety of Major General Yi Lexiang as the first priority. This command sequence cannot be changed! "
After finishing his words, the old marshal glanced at Du Xianghua with a somewhat meaningful look. As soon as he entered the door, he found that Du Xianghua seemed to have some opinions about Yi Lexiang, and there was a lot of knocking in his words.
"Yes" Du Xianghua accepted the order and suddenly realized that the only super god of war in the Republic was this inconspicuous young man in front of him. That is a heavyweight comparable to a planetary strategic weapon. It is the Army's Dinghai Shenzhen, and it cannot be overemphasized.
After getting down to business, the old marshal returned to his previous cheerfulness, "I heard that you are still a non-staff researcher at the Academy of Sciences? You also helped Fu Cailei develop biological mechas?"
Yi Lexiang nodded, and then he remembered that he still had a handwritten letter from the old dean to Marshal Bai Weiqi in his arms, so he quickly took it out and handed it to the old marshal.
"The old dean also asked me to bring you a letter."
"Oh, it's rare that this old guy still remembers me as an old friend, haha."
Only then did Du Xianghua realize that Yi Lexiang had gone upstairs to get this letter before he came. He thought it was some huge bank note. Damn it.
After reading the letter, Bai Weiqi was silent. In the letter, his old friend did not hide his favor for Yi Lexiang. Fu Cailei said frankly that after several years of observation, Yi Lexiang had absolutely no ambitions. He is also very spiritual in scientific research. If it weren't for Yi Lexiang's promotion to the Mecha God of War, he would have accepted Yi Lexiang as a closed disciple. The only troublesome thing is that this person is a bit unmotivated.
When the old dean wrote this letter, the Battle of Orit had not yet broken out. At this moment, it seems that Yi Lexiang not only has superb mecha driving skills, but also has military command abilities that cannot be underestimated. Yi Lexiang's weight increased a little more in the old marshal's heart. As for Fu Cailei's desire to let Yi Lexiang go to the Academy of Sciences, the old marshal just took a look and let it go. What a joke, it is a waste of resources for such talents to engage in scientific research.
In the letter, Fu Cailei also mentioned Yi Lexiang's close relationship with the "Akashic Secret Society" and even boldly speculated that Mi Zhiqing might intend to let Yi Lexiang??Control of the Secret Society. But why Mi Zhiqing did this, the old dean was puzzled. It is really unjustifiable to leave the "Akashic Society" with so many talented people to an outsider to manage it!
Three days later, the newly formed escort fleet secretly left the capital star and sailed to Munro.
After Marshal Bai Weiqi reviewed the files of the special mecha regiment, the special mecha regiment became Yi Lexiang's personal guard. Of course, "military" is just a synonym. Even so, this has set a precedent for the rank of major general in the Republic to be accompanied by a personal guard. Generally, only the first-level generals of the Republic are qualified to form their own personal guards.
Yi Lexiang on the battleship felt a bit like the return home described in ancient books. The escort fleet composed of eleven battleships was a treatment that even Munro's top administrator could not enjoy.
¡°I don¡¯t know whether it was to make up for the previous misunderstanding between the two, or because of the old marshal¡¯s instruction, Du Xianghua specially transferred a light aircraft carrier to serve as Yi Lexiang¡¯s flagship. Unlike the old aircraft carriers with heavy personnel in the task force, this light aircraft carrier named "Light of Victory" adopts the most advanced digital technology. The entire aircraft carrier is controlled by two intelligent brains. It is unknown which evil programmer designed the computer program. The two intelligent brains are named "Adam" and "Eve" respectively. What is most difficult for the starship soldiers to accept is that The codename of the fire control system turned out to be "Apple".
As soon as he boarded the ship and learned the code name of the fire control system, the captain cursed loudly. "Eve" ate the "apple" and was abandoned by their father. This was not a good sign.
The other ten battleships in the escort fleet include: 8 of the Republic's latest "Tiger Shark" star destroyers and 2 "Great White Shark" battleships. The firepower far exceeds that of ordinary star battleships, and is not inferior even to the elite fleets on the front line.
A warship traveling at cruising speed basically does not need anyone to look after it, and the brain sets its own route according to the destination. All obstacles in the interstellar route have been cleared. Zhinao will automatically avoid other spaceships in the route. After leaving the watchman behind, the captain ordered the ship to disband.
Yi Lexiang left the bridge leisurely and ran back to his room, leaving a resentful Wu Wei behind. This time he came out and promoted Wu Wei to his adjutant. According to the regulations of the Republic of China, a major general of the Republic can have two adjutants. The first thing Yi Lexiang thought of was Wu Wei. This kid was from the Wu family, looked good, and had many connections in the army, so his position as adjutant could be regarded as "making the best use of everything."
As for Wu Wei¡¯s personal opinions, they were not within the scope of Yi Lexiang¡¯s consideration. In the end, Wu Wei had no choice but to accept his tragic fate. He really didn't understand what was going on in Yi Lexiang's head. Finding a mecha war god as his adjutant was a huge waste of human resources.
But Yi Lexiang doesn't care about this. Maybe the mecha war god is a treasure in other troops, and the mecha regiment under his command is really not rare. The original number of 158 Mecha War Gods has now increased to nearly 400. Yi Lexiang fills out several promotion applications almost every day. Faced with the miraculously promoted speed mecha regiment, the soldiers were completely convinced. Following such a commander is a blessing for everyone.
Teacher Meng Xujian has approached Yi Lexiang several times about this matter. Why can the mecha regiment enjoy such treatment? Who wouldn't be greedy after seeing advanced mecha skills? In the words of Commander Meng, our 99th Division also has loyalty. Since Yi Lexiang rescued the desperate 99th Division from Orit, tens of thousands of hard-blooded men have put their lives in Yi Lexiang's hands. Like Yi Lexiang It is wrong to discriminate like this.
Yi Lexiang, who couldn't laugh or cry, had to propose a compromise plan. During the Battle of Orit, the mecha regiment had a small number of combat attrition, and the 99th Division could select a group of capable mecha warriors to supplement it. As soon as the news came out, the mecha warriors surrounded the division headquarters. Now it was Commander Meng Xujian who had a headache. Meng Xujian, who was hiding in the room, shouted that he had been tricked by Yi Lexiang.
Twenty-four Earth hours later, the escort fleet sailed into the space dock of the first space gate.
The space dock is a temporary airport built by NASA to ease the increasingly busy interstellar shipping lanes. Merchant ships of the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce, transport ships of mineral companies, as well as space shuttles and private spacecrafts of the Public Transportation Bureau are all waiting here for notification of passing through the space gate. .
The arrival of the escort fleet did not attract much attention. Since the outbreak of the war, people have long been accustomed to the frequent mobilization of interstellar battleships.
After the staff in the dock dispatching room checked the convoy's pass code, they moved the convoy to the first pass sequence. Under the provisional wartime military regulations, starships have priority right of way through the space gate. However, there are so many spaceships waiting to pass that the convoy will be stranded at the space dock for at least 6 hours.
With nothing to do, Yi Lexiang boarded the dock's lounge with a dozen guards. It turned out that he just wanted to stroll around alone, but everyone, including the starship captain, firmly disagreed. That special marshal's warrant was no joke.
Except for Wu Wei who could guess a little bit, most people didn't know why Marshal Bai Weiqi signed such a warrant. But the military orders were overwhelming, and it was absolutely impossible to let Yi Lexiang wander alone in the crowded airport. In the end, Yi Lexiang, whose struggle failed, had to bring the security personnel of the "Thunder and Lightning" team to the port.
This is the first time Yi Lexiang has walked into a public place since leaving the recruit camp, and everything he sees is new.
The top of the airport hall is made of radiation-proof nano-glass. Standing under the transparent glass window and bathing in the starlight, it gives people the illusion of being in an empty space.
The hall is crowded with people, and all kinds of interstellar products are available. Yi Lexiang even saw an interstellar arms dealer selling military controlled firearms. There were several ferocious alien protozoa in a titanium alloy cage not far away. The entire airport hall was like a huge market. Yi Lexiang never knew that in human society that has entered the high-tech era, there is still such a retro place.
"Is there no one in charge here?" Yi Lexiang couldn't help but turned around and asked Xiao Xiaofeng.
Xiao Xiaofeng is the captain of the first team of the "Thunder and Lightning" team. She is tall, fair-skinned, with phoenix eyes and short hair. Not only is she not as delicate as an ordinary woman, but she exudes a heroic spirit. Hearing Yi Lexiang's question, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said softly: "Have you never been out? Don't you even know this? As long as they don't make trouble, the guards at the dock will not care."
The "Thunder and Lightning" team is a special force responsible for security. It is affiliated to the Security Bureau of the General Headquarters and is mainly responsible for some internal security work in the army. Although it has different affiliations with the Central Security Bureau of the government department, the nature of its tasks is roughly the same.
Compared with the strict hierarchy in the army, the people in the "Thunder and Lightning" team did not have much respect for the young major general in front of them. In Xiao Xiaofeng's eyes, Yi Lexiang was just a protected person, and his tone of voice was not polite when he spoke.
Yi Lexiang rubbed his nose in embarrassment. No wonder Wu Wei privately called Xiao Xiaofeng "Little Pepper", which was too harsh. I didn't know what to say for a moment. Several other members of the "Thunder and Lightning" team who were following Xiao Xiaofeng looked at each other and laughed sullenly.
Since the headquarters arranged the "Thunder and Lightning" team to protect this young major general, Xiao Xiaofeng has been a little unhappy. She only knew that she was training non-stop in the training center every day. She didn't know that the people she disliked were the young heroes of Capital Star. Yi Lexiang, who knew nothing, was just a playboy in Xiao Xiaofeng's eyes, just a pretty boy who used his prominent family background to show off and deceive.
In fact, after boarding the ship, other members of the "Thunder and Lightning" team already knew through chats with the soldiers that the person they wanted to protect was Yi Lexiang, who had won the great victory of Orit, and Xiao Xiaofeng was probably the only one in the entire fleet who didn't know.
"The shipyard is far away from the ecological star, and many laws and regulations do not apply here. Moreover, the caravans are equipped with their own escorts. Some caravan alliances are even better equipped than the guards, so as long as it does not affect the internal security of the shipyard, local guards are generally We won't interfere. Apart from maintaining order, the guards are basically just a decoration. If something serious happens, the space gate garrison will be dispatched." An older team member interrupted and said, the young man is thin-skinned, Xiao Xiaofeng The speech was too straightforward, and it would be unsightly if it made Yi Lexiang angry.
"Oh" Yi Lexiang nodded, this is the same as the situation in Capital Star. There are undercurrents surging under peace, and chaos is mixed with order. You can't just take most things at face value. My original self was too naive.
The dazzling goods aroused Yi Lexiang's desire to buy. I haven't been home for many years, so maybe I should prepare a gift for my parents. Soon, several green plants on the stall caught Yi Lexiang's attention.
"What kind of plant is this?" Yi Lexiang asked curiously.
"Young man, you are a person who knows the goods at first sight. This is the Tuomanluo from Soka Star. Although it looks inconspicuous, if you put it in the house, it is equivalent to an air purifier. You can smell it and see that there is a smell. Special aroma." The seller was a fat man, with a pair of small eyes on his fat face wandering around, looking up and down at Yi Lexiang.
"Really?" Yi Lexiang asked suspiciously. He knew about Sokka Star. The "Interstellar Blog" mentioned this planet rich in minerals, but he had never heard that there were such magical plants on Sokar Planet.
The fat man carefully observed the people in front of him. With many years of experience, he could easily judge that these people should not go out often.
"Young man, do you think I can still deceive you at my age? This is a rare thing that can only be found in rich families on Sokar Planet. How about buying a few of them? Putting them at home will not only freshen the air, but also serve as a status symbol. "
The more Yi Lexiang listened, the more confused he became. Are there any rich people on Sokar? That? is a resource star with no permanent residents except for miners.
There was a hint of sneer on Xiao Xiaofeng's face. This fat man probably regarded himself and others as "fat sheep" to be slaughtered. But she was too lazy to remind Yi Lexiang, who was still talking to the fat man with great interest, that it would be better if this dude learned a lesson!
