Gregor looked at the commander in front of him who was younger than Wuwei with emotion. This was the first time he saw Yi Lexiang, but his mood was extremely complicated.
Regardless of appearance, size or personal temperament, there is nothing outstanding about this young commander. He was wearing a black general's uniform, with neither gold or silver medals nor colorful merit belts on his chest; his figure was neither tall nor powerful. This type of people can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, just like a new recruit who has just stepped out of the military camp.
This man was once an enemy of the family on the battlefield. Tyr admired him very much, but regarded him as an enemy. His subordinates fought to the death with the Imperial Army. However, now he is leading his men across the vast interstellar space to rescue him who is in desperate situation.
He is the founder of the Free Army, Charno¡¯s ¡®Light of Victory¡¯ and the people¡¯s hope! Under his leadership, his army became famous and performed miracles many times, going from obscurity to the point where no one could ignore their existence.
Gregor looked carefully. If he had to find something different from ordinary people in this young commander, it would be those eyes that revealed sincerity and gentleness. There is neither the spirit of a soldier nor the pride of being a superior, but only ordinaryness and freedom. Those eyes are clear and penetrating, without any impurities, making everyone who sees them feel close to them.
"Yi Lexiang." Yi Lexiang's self-introduction was simple and clear.
"Gregor," Gregor pointed to Case beside him, "This is the fleet commander, Vice Admiral Case."
Case took a step forward, with some gratitude and respect on his face, "Thank you, General. We will always remember what you did for the Tire family today." Case solemnly raised his right hand. Place it on the left chest.
This is a unique military courtesy of the Tire family. Only friends and warriors are eligible to enjoy such courtesy. This is the first time in many years that someone outside the family has enjoyed this courtesy. This also shows how much Keyes respects the young general in front of him.
Yi Lexiang raised his hand and returned a Charno military salute. For soldiers, a military salute means far more than any words of gratitude.
??¡ª¡ª
It was pitch dark outside the porthole window, and it was already late, but Case was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His head, which had been hit by a heavy object during the battle during the day, was now aching. He rolled out of bed and walked to the porthole. Familiar signal lights flickered in the starry sky, that was the Tire family's fleet. Keyes knew that in the darkness, beyond the reach of his sight, a vast fleet was accompanying them. He didn't know how these starships from a country he was unfamiliar with covered up the blazing tail flames of the starship thrusters; nor did he know how they maintained the fleet formation without signal lights to guide them and the fleet was in silence. .
To him, this young fleet is full of mystery.
The direction of the fleet is not the direction of the Tyr family's territory. They will sail to the secret base of the Free Army and join a larger fleet there. He couldn't imagine that in this land that the empire had worked so hard to manage, the Charno people actually had a secret base. The fact that they can appear in front of them across the stars means that there is a space gate in that base. This also means that as long as they are willing, they can launch an attack on the unprepared Imperial Army at any time. However, none of this has anything to do with him now. The royal family has abandoned them! Case fought back the headache and climbed back into bed, falling asleep with worry and doubt. Now all this has nothing to do with him. His fleet is dilapidated and can no longer do anything for the family. The rest depends on the young family ally and his young army¡ª¡ª
"The star fields near the Tire territory are all under control. This is what we learned through Bazin's channels." The combat command room of the "New Dawn" is brightly lit, and a huge starry sky holographic projection occupies one-third of the room. , the senior officers of the Free Army are studying a plan to rescue the Tire family. Regardless of his fatigue, Gregor sat in an electronic wheelchair specially arranged for him in the medical room. The attentive nurse also prepared a fur cushion for him.
"This is not the only problem we face." Wu Wei's voice sounded, "Three special operations teams of the Starfire Fleet have marched towards the Tire territory. Their jump points are here, here, and here." Wu Wei Use a red electronic pen to point out three spatial coordinates on the holographic starry sky map. This is also one of the few spatial coordinates within the empire controlled by the Free Army. "According to the intelligence they sent back, we cannot approach the star field where the Tyr family's territory is located using conventional methods without attracting the attention of the Targaryen Royal Fleet." He was silent for a while and continued, "Also The royal fleet that ambushed Gregor was wiped out by us in one fell swoop, but we can't keep this news secret for long. Once the news leaks, they can pass??Measuring the energy radiation index in the stars can easily calculate our military strength. That's okay. The key is that once they detect our presence, we lose our tactical surprise. The difficulty of rescuing the Tire family has greatly increased. "
"The response of the Targaryen royal family should not be that fast. Their attention is now mainly focused on the Tyr territory. We can launch an attack immediately after reuniting with the main force."
"But we also face another problem." Wu Wei said with a wry smile, "We don't have a detailed space environment chart near the Tire territory. This means that we cannot approach the Iye star in unconventional ways. Unless we fight all the way!"
Kill all the way? No matter how confident the senior officers of the Free Army are, they may not be able to claim victory against the most powerful country in the world. And their purpose is to rescue the Tyr family, not to attack the Targaryen dynasty.
"There is another question." Gregor looked gloomy. "The family still doesn't know the outcome of my meeting. Before the final action can be taken, you must find a way to get me back to the family, or at least find a way for me to contact you. family."
This question is just as difficult as the previous one. If they could safely deliver Gregor to the territory of the Tyr family, they would naturally have a way to sneak in silently. In a sense, this is actually a problem. The only difference is that there are more people and fewer people.
"How long can the Tyr family last?" Yi Lexiang looked at Gregor thoughtfully.
"If you ask me, I think I can hold on for at least a year." Gregor said with a wry smile, "But reason tells me that this is impossible. There is no way that the Targaryen royal family can last for that long. It should calm down in a short time. But I don¡¯t understand, what will they do?¡±
"Within the Tire family" Yi Lexiang hesitated for a moment. Internal disintegration is the best way to deal with similar incidents. Is there something wrong within the Tire family?
"This possibility cannot be ruled out," Gregor said calmly. "Tyr is old, and it seems that no one in the family can succeed him. But this time the royal family obviously wants to uproot the Tire family. I Everyone should see this clearly. Helping the royal family is undoubtedly digging one's own grave, and who would do that? Unless that person is not from the Tyr family at all." Gregor seemed to have thought of something.
Yi Lexiang did not interrupt Gregor's thoughts. He turned around and said, "Where are we now?"
"There are still two hours away from Bazhan's base." Wu Wei said, "Just now news came from Yatian that they have arrived. Bazhan's people are also gathering and ready to go."
"Let Bazan and the others take action first!" Yi Lexiang nodded, "If you want to rescue the Tier family, you must first muddy the waters."
"Well, I'll inform you right away."¡ª¡ª
The Kayir Free Federation, a country with an overall structure between democratic federalism and imperialism, just broke away from neutral forces and joined the Imperial Alliance camp a few centuries ago. In the Imperial Alliance that respects the imperial system, the existence of the Free Federation is undoubtedly a heresy. The Free Federation has thirteen ecological planets, and each planet is managed by an Archon, who is the ruler of the planet. The country has a first-class administrative system, a first-class financial system, a first-class army, and a management committee composed of thirteen administrators.
However, this seemingly loose country plays a very important role in the imperial alliance. Their national financial source has only one source, and that is interstellar trade. Perhaps from one piece of data, we can get a glimpse of the importance of this country. In the war between the Imperial Alliance and Charno that lasted for several years, the Kayir Free Federation ** undertook one-third of the transportation of various materials from the empire's rear to the front.
Not only that, the merchants of the Free Federation have footprints almost all over the interstellar world. The war has made them like a fish in water. They not only do business with the countries of the Imperial Alliance, but also with hostile forces. They can even be seen in the star fields controlled by pirates, criminals and rebels. They made a fortune from this war.
Free trade without a bottom line also brings lasting peace to the Free Federation. Because they have no enemies in this world, and certainly no friends.
Their starships cruise in the starry sky, crossing from one star field to another, and from one country to another, selling various supplies to those who need them. In addition to trade, they also play the less honorable role of ¡®information sellers¡¯. Their huge transport fleet is like countless tentacles, extending to all parts of the interstellar world; their merchants are spread throughout the universe. They make friends with local dignitaries on various planets and get all kinds of news and intelligence from them.
As long as you have enough money, you can buy anything you want in the Free Federation. noneWhether it's alive or dead; whether it's weapons, ores, or even news, as long as you have money!
However, in this dangerous game, the leaders of the Free Federation have earned themselves a lot of wealth that will last a few lifetimes, but they do not realize a serious reality: they are a member of human society. As the war gradually slides into the abyss of all-out war, they themselves cannot escape their doom. War is approaching them!
?Kayl Free Federation, Second Administrative Star, 4:30 am. At this time, most people were still immersed in dreamland, but the airport loading and unloading dock had already begun the next day of business. Various mechas and large lifting machinery are loading boxes of goods onto the huge transport ship. When the light of dawn covers the earth, they will sail to their destination. The workers on the construction site yawned again and again, trying to cheer up. They were the last shift of the night shift. In another ten minutes, another team on duty during the day will come to replace them.
You will never have to worry about finding a job here. With the outbreak of the war, workers¡¯ salaries have increased several times. But even so, advertisements for recruiting workers at a certain port are still played every day on the noisy electronic radio.
As usual, Ste walked into the lifting platform workshop. He was used to coming back here at this time every day, and his assistant had already prepared a cup of hot, fragrant and rich coffee for him. It just sits on the table. For some reason, his familiar voice did not come from the announcer on the work table, but was replaced by messy electronic noise. He tapped the machine. The casing of the machine was covered with oil stains. Maybe he should get a new speaker, he muttered. This month his salary increased a bit more. It seems like he doesn't have to be so hard on himself.
Ste walked to the window and closed it. The roar of machinery outside disturbed him. He always felt that this morning was different from usual, as if there was something missing. He sat down doubtfully, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. When his eyes fell on the dusty electronic news screen, he finally understood what was missing today. Every day at this time, advertisements for port recruitment workers come over the loudspeaker, but there were no announcements today. Ste shook his head with some regret. That girl's voice was great and sweet. Sometimes he would outline the appearance of that girl in his mind. Of course, she would never be as fat as the one who had given birth to three children in his family. A woman like a mountain.
After drinking the coffee, Sturt put the coffee cup back on the table, and his assistant would wash it and put it in the cabinet later. Tomorrow morning, a cup of fragrant coffee will appear in the same place. This kid is good! Sturt considered whether he should suggest to his boss that he should give the child a higher salary. However, when he thought of his boss's stingy face, he shook his head subconsciously. Not likely! The child was only fourteen years old and not yet old enough to work. No work, no food! The boss often says this.
After savoring the lingering aroma of coffee, Ste walked out of the workroom. He still had the last shipment of goods to load, and then he could go home and have a good sleep. Of course, everything would be perfect if I didn't see that fat woman when I got home.
