Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 424 06.0423: "New Assistant Secretary"

"Miss, sir, welcome back."

Alexander Hood's official residence, the hovercraft assigned to Horatio by the Admiralty stopped on the landing platform at the main entrance of Farida's mansion.

The old housekeeper and the maids lined up in an orderly manner and stood on the platform early to welcome the two people back.

"And congratulations on your promotion, Major. If Lieutenant General Hood were still conscious, he would surely be pleased to see such a young and promising person like you."

"Thank you, old butler. You have taken great pains to take care of the unconscious Lieutenant General Hood for so long."

"I can't take it seriously. This is what I should do."

During the greetings, the old butler personally opened the car door for Horatio.

Horatio strode out of the car with his head held high, wearing a naval officer's uniform that was urgently hand-made based on a sample uniform with the concerted efforts of all the tailors in the store.

He looked at the tall and magnificent mansion in front of him and adjusted the Order of the Sky Eagle Medal tied around his collar.

It was still this place, this official residence that had amazed him at first.

He experienced four identities here.

From the earliest imperial death row prisoners who had to sneak in secretly and hide from the guards.

Then there was the Navy's Chief Petty Officer Tadashi of the Tadashi Academy, who was finally able to use the back door in a legitimate way.

After going through some twists and turns as a candidate official, he was able to walk into the gate with his head held high.

Now, when he came back here again, he came to the official residence of this prominent naval family as a captain and officer of the Imperial Navy.

He used to envy such a huge manor, but now he treats it as his own home and can come and go as he pleases.

He had even indulged in passionate sex with this beautiful and powerful girl, the daughter of a vice admiral, in the elegant girl's boudoir filled with fragrance.

He took a deep breath of the air filled with the scent of pink roses, forgetting all the fatigue from the journey back to Far Star.

"Honey, welcome back." Farida was still wearing her military prison uniform, but she was not as restrained and serious as she was in front of outsiders. She chuckled and trotted into his arms. She hugged his arm and pressed the front of her uniform, which was stretched tight, against it, and said softly and charmingly.

This time on his return voyage, he will not stay in Abyss Port for too long.

So Horatio wasn't going to think about his house here.

Taking this opportunity, and also based on her dignity as the queen to "rescue her dear from those little vixens", Farida took Horatio directly back to her own home.

Although she thought so, for Horatio, both consumed kidney energy, so was there any big difference in the order?
The only difference is injecting all of it into one person multiple times a day, and injecting it into multiple people multiple times a day.

And Farida has actually started to have evil thoughts.

Once, he found that she took the initiative to help him put it on with her mouth.

It turned out that there was a hole in the front end.

If he didn't have the habit of checking the airtightness himself before starting every time, he would have fallen for her little trick.

Ten months later, the scene of a blonde, blue-eyed baby being born seemed to be right in front of me.

It’s not that he can’t have children with the daughter of a naval admiral now.

But after all, he was appointed captain for the first time in the face of the severe situation of the Second Damocles Gulf Expedition and the chaos of the war.

At present, he still wants to spend more energy and time on preparing for war.

"You can stay here until I go to war, but no more tricks."

"Of course I know! Preparation for war comes first. I am the Navy Supervisor, the upright and righteous Commissioner of the Epic! Can you please not think of me as so cunning and dissolute?"

"Of course, Your Excellency, Military Supervisor." Horatio shrugged, placed his hand on her round left shoulder, and stretched out his fingers to boldly rub her golden hair.

This was a bold act that could only be done in Hood's residence in front of everyone - the captain of a battleship and the military supervisor on the battleship were lovers, but it was a secret that must not be known to outsiders.

Farida pouted her lips and curled them slightly in dissatisfaction. Then she smiled wickedly, raised her smile, looked at him and said with a smile: "So, my dear, before eating, do you want to take a bath first? Or first~"

"Why not try both?" Before she could finish, he took the blonde beauty in his arms and walked towards the luxurious mansion built of white marble.
-
Vegas area.

"Salute to His Excellency the Tribune of the Navy!"

At the command of the sergeant, a row of red-clad marines saluted in unison with their guns raised to the man who stepped down from the Navy Department's floating vehicle.

Since Vegas' social problems were resolved in a relatively compromised manner, the Imperial Navy and the Sisters of the Holy Rosary have taken armed control of the administrative area.

But Horatio heard that things were still not peaceful here, especially near the lower nest.

The Mechanicus seemed to be still busy with something. In the past year, the order here was quite good. I heard that Yin Shuyao's cousin was a very thoughtful senator who temporarily eased the class contradictions in Vegas through mediation.

But it is unknown how long this situation can last.

However, although he is currently the tribune, he does not have the time to make major changes to the area, nor to explore the secrets beneath the lawless underground of this mysterious planet that was completely man-made.

His main task at the moment is to utilize the resources in the Vegas area to build an attack squadron.

He jumped out of the hovercraft, waved his hand to greet the soldiers, and then strode into the naval base building located at the junction of Zhongshangchao. This dedicated office area spanned the ground and underground.

The upper and lower offices are respectively connected to the upper and lower nest civilians in the Vegas area.

Over the course of a year, the government hall was renovated and decorated in the Admiralty's traditional Victorian style.

Led by the servant of the Ministry of the Interior, he came to his office.

The guard at the door respectfully opened it for him.

This room is nested on the ground. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow users to enjoy the warm stellar daylight. The entire office is filled with the light fragrance of wood, paper and ink.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young girl tidying up his desk.

"Mr. Cochrane?!" The girl looked up and was a little surprised to see the person coming.

"Ms. Yin, why are you here?" He took off his hat and hung it on the coat rack.

"It's a professional internship in graduate school. We have to do a long period of practical internship before we can graduate. I'm currently working as an assistant secretary in the Vegas Administrative Office. I just arrived today. Are you the new tribune?"

"Yes, I am now a lieutenant commander in the Navy, and I am in the Vegas area to prepare for the next expedition. Well, don't be so reserved, I don't remember you being so reserved before."

He took a cup of warming ginger tea from the servant and spoke as he drank it.

"You became the captain?" The girl blinked in surprise, looking at the young man in front of her who was younger than her in disbelief.

She had never heard of such a young officer. Horatio might be the youngest officer in her life, no, very likely the youngest officer in the history of the Gothic Fleet.

"Yes, not only the captain, but also the commander of a squadron of ships. But everything has to start from scratch. We have to cross the river by feeling the stones and be well prepared. We may be very busy next."

"At your service, Major! I will do my duty as assistant secretary well."

"Very good. I will hold a meeting here next, and you will be responsible for recording the minutes."

"No problem!" Faced with the first job assigned by her boss, this girl from a common family seemed full of energy.

As a major commander, Horatio met with his five naval captains on his first day in office.

These five men were the captains of the attack ships in the squadron under his command. They were all transferred from escort ships and destroyers. On average, each of them had eight years of experience as a lieutenant and were very good at commanding such small warships.

Through the brief communication and understanding between superiors and subordinates, Horatio's brain never stopped, constantly improving his tactical ideas through the excellent experience of others.

Although, the E-type attack ship looks like an oversized attack submarine.

But it cannot be said that void combat and surface combat have nothing to do with each other, it can only be said that the differences are too great.

The enemy is not like surface ships, which can only search for the enemy through various detection methods restricted by water bodies and cannot dive to look for people.

The Void is essentially an oversized ocean.

All ships are equivalent to submarines in this ocean.

Speaking of similar theories, Horatio could only think of the sea battles between nuclear submarines on the Blue Planet.

But whether he could apply the relevant experience or not, he needed to get verification from the people who had personally fought against the Titanium.

"Your opinions are all very good. Those of you who have fought against the Tau, please tell us about it. You can speak freely without hesitation."

"Me." A captain with burn scars on his face stood up and said after a pause.

"They are now completely different from what they were two or three hundred years ago. The Imperial Navy is losing its advantage in fighting them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other captains looked at this man with astonishment on their faces.

Fortunately, there was no military supervisor nearby, otherwise, if such remarks were made outside, he would have been fired before boarding the ship and investigated to see if he had accepted 50 titanium 'ova from the Titanium Clan.

Especially from his words, he seemed to seriously regard the Tau as a difficult threat to deal with.

This is a very 'politically incorrect' view.

"Feel free to speak, Captain Pierre." Horatio's eyes lit up. He wanted to hear why the other party made such a statement.
