"Everyone, maybe you are all wondering about my order that is close to abandoning the ship." Tang Lang stood up from his seat and looked at the people who were looking at him in disbelief. "Although the Phoenix suffered a lot on the battlefield,
Traumatized, but not to the point of abandoning the ship."
"Perhaps, you will understand if you look back at this video and recording." Tang Lang clicked several times on the command seat. "This was sent to me by the Golden Eagle Team's tactical recording system before the explosion.
"
First, there is a video. One after another, fighter planes are hit by energy beams on their way to the battlefield. The energy shield changes from blue to green to red, and then, together with the fighters, it turns into a group of fireworks in the starry sky.
Although we already knew that the Golden Eagle Squadron was gone, seeing them die on the spot one by one was undoubtedly a huge psychological torture for every officer and soldier standing in front of the screen on the bridge and inside the ship.
Including the tough female officer who answered that the fat man was willing to marry him, more than 50% of the officers and soldiers had tears in their eyes. Many people even lowered their heads, not daring to look at the remaining two aircraft.
Two fighter planes struggling to move forward amid artillery fire.
Even if they already know the final result.
But compared to the results, sometimes the process is actually more cruel.
"I order No. 3 to evacuate the battlefield!"
"Third brother! I won't leave!"
"9 o'clock direction, advance speed 90%, leave! Your mission has been completed, I will arrive in the airspace to drop bombs! This is not a request, this is an order!"
"yes!"
"Brother! Stay alive!"
...
The exchanges between the two pilots rang in everyone's ears, and then, a Golden Eagle fighter jet was seen leaving quickly, leaving only one fighter plane struggling to pass through under the pursuit of the energy beam.
At this point in the video, people have already seen it. After Golden Eagle 1 moved forward for a certain distance again, it turned itself into a missile and shot without hesitation towards the area that could even collapse the space.
Tang Lang's voice sounded at this time: "The person who gave the order is the Golden Eagle No. 1 pilot Captain Hou Sanqiang who we saw in the video before turning himself into a missile. According to the final report of "Fat Man"
Judging from the power of the explosion, even if he dropped it at the starting point, the Jiepen fleet would not be able to avoid the fate of destruction, but none of us knew before that.
What the Golden Eagle Team has to do is to do its best to send "Fat Man" to the calculated airspace. According to the military order I gave him, if all other wingmen are lost and still have not reached the designated airspace, he can drop the camera on that
A "fat man" and then leaving at full speed, he didn't have to resort to such extreme tactics.
However, he violated my military orders. Even before he was ready to implement the tactics, I ordered him to drop the bomb, but he still refused. He violated my military orders twice in a row. According to military law, I can completely execute wartime executions on him.
Discipline. But as a commander, I have no way to punish him, because I know that he will pay for disobeying military orders with his own life. Although he also knows that I do not want him to do this,
But he still did it. Originally, after this battle, he could be promoted to major and become the captain of our independent regiment fighter brigade.
I know the reason why he violated military orders, and you should know it now. Yes, he only hopes that his brother can live, and would rather die himself."
Although Tang Lang tried his best to keep his voice steady, how could the male and female officers on the bridge who were very familiar with him after having heard him give orders countless times, not be able to hear the tremor hidden in his voice?
"As the first-class hero of this battle, how can I, the supreme commander, not fulfill his last wish?" Tang Lang pointed at the Golden Eagle No. 3 that had disappeared into the starry sky on the screen. "The only one in the Golden Eagle fighter team
The possible surviving lieutenant pilot is named Yun Mo. Even if I am not the commander, but only as a comrade, I cannot leave him alone in this starry sky. I, Tang Lang, must take him home, even if he is now in
The core area of magnetic induction."
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized. While their eyes flashed with understanding and emotion, their expressions instantly became extremely ugly.
Not abandoning any of his comrades is the most valuable quality of a commander in the eyes of the majority of officers and soldiers. However, the situation in front of him is too dangerous.
Under the circumstances at that time, if Golden Eagle 3 wanted to escape from the core area of the explosion, it could only move at full speed in the opposite direction of the entire fleet. Coupled with the huge thrust of the energy tide, no matter how conservative the estimate was, it was still hundreds of miles away from the entire fleet.
Thousands of kilometers away.
Under normal conditions, not to mention millions of kilometers or hundreds of millions of kilometers, the starship can arrive in a short time. With the communication equipment in the star fighter aircraft that can reach millions of kilometers, it is easy to find him.
thing.
But in this strong magnetic field environment, it is an almost impossible task. Putting aside whether it is possible to find a fighter plane with a length of only 18 meters in the endless void, what is even more frightening is that according to the central intelligence calculation,
The magnetic fluctuation map shows that the magnetic intensity in that area is at least 200 Tesla higher than here, almost reaching the limits of several core components of the energy engine. Once fluctuations occur, the starship searching for people may become
An iron coffin.
Once the magnetic storm that has been rare in Bermuda for decades breaks out, it will take several years or even longer. No one can guarantee that in such an environment, it can survive until reinforcements arrive.
Facing the vast starry sky, a star fighter with a maximum range of only 50 million kilometers is like a small insect on a towering tree. Even if it is intact, it will never be possible to walk out of this star field alone in its lifetime.
. Without the rescue of the starship, what awaited him would have been to die alone in the cockpit.
But if it wants to take that fighter plane home, the "Phoenix" must first put a noose around its own neck, not almost but definitely, and must risk its life, even thousands of people's lives.
Is this a good deal?
"Because I know that this is very dangerous, so dangerous that you may never return once you leave." Tang Lang's voice sounded, and he saluted on the bridge: "So, with the order of the captain of the "Phoenix", I ask you to
Disembark. Please note that this is a military order and you are not deserters. The "Qinglong" is already coming here. Please enter the lifeboat in an orderly manner according to each department. Tang Lang is honored to fight side by side with you."
There was silence on the bow of the ship.
All the male and female officers looked up at the young commander standing high on the bridge and solemnly saluted them.
In several consecutive battles, he was brave but wiser, leading everyone here to victory again and again. Whether they were familiar with him or those who had just met him, they were all proud of this commander, and they wanted to fight under his command.
And people who know the inside story are very clear about what this means. As long as he returns to the Federation, it is a certainty that this young commander with the strength of a senior mecha master will rise to the top.
This is because they don't know the fact that Tang Lang already has a "Victory" medal. Otherwise, they would even dare to imagine Tang Lang becoming a general. In fact, in the thousands of years of history of the Southwest Federation, being able to win the "Victory" medal "Soldiers who receive the medal, as long as they do not die in battle, will eventually wear three gold stars wrapped in a golden dragon.
But this time, why is he so stubborn and so "stupid"?
He is so stubborn that he is willing to step down from the title of supreme commander, and is so "stupid" that he personally goes to the place where he is almost seeking death. If he wants to unite people's hearts, he can order the formation of a death squad. With his current control over the independent regiment, he can No one dares to disobey an order.
For a moment, everyone was silent at a loss.
"Salute, sir!" The first person to react was the tough female lieutenant named Hao Daier.
The officers and soldiers on the "Phoenix" saluted and paid tribute to Tang Lang on the screen.
Tang Lang put down his hands with a smile on his face: "Okay, now I am no longer the supreme commander. I finally don't have to keep a bad face every day. It's really tiring. I'll leave this job to Shen Chengfeng in the future. Dude do it!”
"Quack!" Except for the fat man who burst out laughing in agreement, no one among the officers who had finished the ceremony laughed.
Really, I can’t laugh!
"Don't be so serious. Besides, going there doesn't mean you will die! Don't act like you're holding a memorial service in advance." Tang Lang glanced at the solemn expressions of everyone and said with a wry smile. "I haven't represented myself and myself yet. The destroyer USS Phoenix is looking for volunteers!”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, volunteer, what does this mean?
"As the captain of the Phoenix, I need to recruit 50 volunteers to accompany me and the Phoenix. Otherwise, I won't be able to handle such a big destroyer!" Tang Lang said solemnly. "Anyone who volunteers will come with me. For those who go, regardless of their position or military position, each person will receive 10,000 blue gold coins, which can also be exchanged for federal credits."
"This is not an order, this is a request. I ask those of you who are willing to come with me to take your comrades home." Tang Lang continued. "Those who are willing to go can send the list to the military judge later! No, from here From now on, he is no longer a military judge, let’s call him Vice Captain Zhu!”
"I know that when you are promoted without me, you will be the first to be demoted. Is there anything worse than me?" The fat man complained with a bitter look on his face. "Besides, I didn't sign up either. !”
But he said no, but his body was very honest. The fat man raised his arms high: "If you want money or your life, sign up quickly! If you don't sign up, I will do the work of 49 people. I am awesome and can make a lot of money." "
"Didi-di-di" the personal brain on the fat man's wrist started chirping crazily.
Obviously, there are indeed many people who are not afraid of death.
It was Fatty's retro communication reminder sound that gave Tang Lang a headache. It always reminded him of a certain little penguin from ancient times.
"Hey! Little girl, do you really have a crush on me? You signed up so quickly, so you should withdraw immediately! Go back and find someone to blame you for solving the problem of your reputation as a master of extinction."
"Get out of here, I've already solved it with my hands, why do you still use you stinky men?" the tough girl replied with incomparable toughness.
"Oh no, how dare you disrespect your superior!" The fat man was a little confused. This girl is so brave!
"Fat Vice Captain, you are no longer a military judge now."
"The vice-captain is not the commander?"
"That's what I did. Why don't you accept it? Come and bite me if you don't accept it! Otherwise, use your little leather whip. Do you think I will be scared?" Hao Daier, who was wearing a combat uniform, stood up very fiercely.
"Ferocious", with provocation in his eyes.
In other words, there is a hidden yet obvious temptation.
Tang Lang didn't bother to read it, so he knew that guy must be a coward.
When a woman acts like a hooligan, there is basically nothing wrong with being a hooligan. This is usually the case.
