I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 119

The universe is always so empty and lonely, even if a huge fleet passes by, there will be no trace left behind.Two weeks ago, the Ninth Fleet, which departed from the Morinbeck galaxy, was currently sailing to the Aschet galaxy, the capital galaxy.

"Unexpectedly, I can still stand on the bridge of the flagship of the fleet and watch the arrival of a new era. It seems that my old bones must not rest, and I will eventually be buried in the universe," said the Ninth Fleet Commander, Lieutenant Admiral Brandino stood on the bridge of the flagship Plantagenet, looked at the deep universe outside, and sighed.

Hathaway von Brandino, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing at her father's pretentious mourning: "I bet you are very excited about this incident, I still remember you four months ago He looked happy when he saw Major General Lin Mo at home."

Jeff von Brandino, the nearly sixty-year-old admiral just took office four months ago.Four months ago, when the military headquarters began large-scale deployment of troops stationed in various galaxies, the former commander of the Ninth Fleet, Rear Admiral Faravister, suddenly died at home inexplicably.Lin Mo rejected all the opinions and recommended to the Grand Duke Lieutenant General Brandino, who was forced to retire two years ago because of the Cauchy Act, as the commander of the Ninth Fleet.

When Lin Mo first entered the army, he served under Brandino's command. He highly respected the old admiral's military skills, and admired his upright but humorous personality.For Lin Mo, the old admiral is really a teacher and a friend.

"Hmph, I was looking at Lin Mo's face, otherwise do you think those old guys in the military department can command me? Major." The old admiral raised his eyebrows, squinted at his daughter, and tried to slap her face He saw something on the Internet, but to his disappointment, this youngest daughter, whom he had always been proud of, obviously did not intend to please him. She just shrugged her shoulders and did not intend to argue with her father about this matter.Lieutenant General Brandino was a little embarrassed about this.

Compared with his gentle son who only wanted to be a librarian, this daughter really liked him in terms of becoming a soldier.However, at the same time, perhaps because she has been in the army for too long, her daughter has developed a vigorous and decisive attitude towards doing things, and she never pays any attention to other aspects. She is either training or studying military history all day long.Girls like this are not cute!Maybe everything is impossible to be perfect, Lieutenant General Brandino secretly sighed.

In fact, he likes Lin Mo very much.Among the aristocratic children of the capital star, such an outstanding young man from a wealthy family like Lin Mo who is clean and self-respecting is really rare.It's a pity, one of these two children is taciturn and the other has no distractions. If they are paired together, life should be very boring...

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Hathaway frowned seeing her father distracted. Although the conversation between the two sounded relaxed and happy, everyone knew that the road leading to the capital galaxy was full of crises and accidents.At this time, the road is a downright dangerous one. "We have been marching for thirteen days, should we pay attention to the movements of other fleets?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Lieutenant General Brandino smiled again, "Relax, Major! It's a good thing to be vigilant at all times, but for an old man like me, physical strength is too much." Looking at The daughter still frowned with a worried expression on her face, but the smile on the old admiral's face became much more loving. "Come and see me."

Brandino strode to the three-dimensional image map of the star field on the bridge console, reached out and clicked on the map, "Look, on our way to the capital star, we can arrive at the capital star system before we reach the capital star system. The fleets we are intercepting are the Tenth Fleet stationed in the Vega Galaxy and the Second Fleet stationed in the Maple Galaxy. Tell me first, what do you think of these two fleets?"

"The number of warships in any of these two fleets is almost the same as that of our Ninth Fleet." Hathaway has a considerable understanding of the distribution of the empire's military power and the fleets. She thought for a while and continued to answer, "The tenth fleet Fleet Commander Rear Admiral Fingerien, 42 years old, was born in the No.90 Fourth Corps, and he turned from a civilian job in the intelligence department to a military post. The 41nd Fleet Commander, Rear Admiral Fabregas, is [-] years old this year and was born in Maple City six years ago. The tree galaxy garrison fortress was transferred to the Second Fleet as the commander."

"Well, I remember well." Lieutenant General Brandino nodded, looked at his daughter with a smile, and then changed the topic, "However, knowing these things is not enough. Fingalion is a very thoughtful person. He has a cautious and suspicious personality, and is quite good at using troops. He is a good commander. And Fabregas is a fierce general! He has a fiery personality, and his weakness is impatient. Hathaway, you have to remember! The style and combat power of a fleet depend on the character and ability of the commander. The advantages of the commander may not necessarily bring advantages to the fleet, but the shortcomings of the commander must be the main reason for the disadvantage of the fleet!"

Hathaway listened to her father's teaching with a solemn expression, and was thinking seriously, "What about the fleet's staff team? If the commander makes an inappropriate judgment, aren't the staff members obliged to come up with better suggestions?"

"Of course the staff members have to make suggestions, but in the end it is the commander who has the decision-making power." Brandino nodded and continued, "Besides, if the staff members are better than you, why should you be the commander?"

"Yes!" Hathaway nodded in conviction, "So, if these two fleets really appear in front of us, father, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm." The old admiral stroked his chin covered by pale stubble, but his eyes showed a cunning that didn't match his age, "The reason why I chose this journey through the Ara Leon galaxy is to Have a good fight with these two fleets. Since we will inevitably encounter a fierce battle with them on the way to the capital star, it is better to solve them in this large galaxy with complicated conditions. As long as we can delay for a few days, No .12 Fleet will be able to double-team those two fleets with us in time. The Cinderella galaxy currently stationed by the No.12 Fleet is located on the other side of the capital star on the star map, so the communication with the capital star should be It's easier. Presumably Lin Mo will also explain to Lu Shan, the commander of the No.12 Fleet. He is also a taciturn person, but he is also a person who is very good at assisting attacks. With his assistance, our chances of success will be very high."

"The more complicated the battlefield, the more beneficial it should be for us." Hathaway listened carefully to her father's teachings, "However, did Major General Lin Mo not mention the three fleets in the military port? The marshal has already stood by the princess. There, there is no reason for the three fleets not to move."

Hearing this, the old admiral also sighed. Hathaway had indeed revealed the crux of the problem. No one thought that at such a critical moment, His Excellency the Marshal, who has never participated in power struggles, would choose to side with the princess. .This is indeed unexpected.The three fleets currently in the military port are indeed the biggest hidden danger, plus the No.11 Fleet, which has gone to encircle and suppress the Seventh Fleet but has not suffered any injuries.No matter how you look at it, the situation on the Grand Duke's side is not good. "The current situation is like this. The three fleets are still far away from us. We are not sure whether they will come to intercept us, or they will go directly to the capital galaxy. According to my thinking, the role of them going directly to the capital star In fact, it is bigger. However, they cannot be taken lightly, so the battle here in Alarion cannot be delayed for too long."

On the No. 17 day when the Ninth Fleet was marching, the vanguard ship finally sent back the news of other fleets for the first time. Right in front of the Ninth Fleet’s departure, a fleet of [-] warships appeared. It was confirmed that the fleet was on the way. It is the Second Fleet stationed in the Maple Galaxy.

When he was notified, Lieutenant General Brandino was having lunch with his daughter Hathaway. After receiving the news, he put down the goblet in his hand and winked at his daughter, "I guessed it right. Up ahead is the Second Fleet."

Hathaway nodded in admiration. It stands to reason that the maple galaxy is located on the right side of the Maureenbeck galaxy in the airspace, and the Vega galaxy is directly in front of the capital star on the way, so it appears in the The one ahead should be the Tenth Fleet.But a few days ago, my father predicted that the Second Fleet would be right ahead.The reason is that Major General Cesc Fabregas prefers to give the enemy a head-on blow, and will not stay behind the enemy for secondary attacks.Defeating the Ninth Fleet and then defeating the No.12 Fleet that came to support them would be a great achievement. With Cesc Fabregas' character, he would never give up the main credit to Major General Fingerien.

"Then let's start according to the strategy we have planned before!" The old admiral stood up from the table, strode out of the restaurant, and walked towards the bridge.And Hathaway walked towards the airport where the space shuttle was launched. She is not her father's staff, but the squadron commander of the fleet. She has her own flagship. The flagship Athena, which just came out of the shipyard this year, is assigned gave her.

Stepping on her flagship, Hathaway stood on the bridge and began to carry out the tasks of the squadron she led.

Opening the star map, the complex airspace environment of the Alarion galaxy immediately appeared in front of her eyes. Hathaway looked at the airspace map and ordered to the captain next to the console: "Notify all squadron warships to send four All the engines are turned on, and the energy transmission of the battleship is increased to four times the current level. In addition, the engineer ship is notified to prepare a large transport compartment."

Before departure, Lieutenant Admiral Brandino ordered the engineering ship to carry a large compressible transport compartment as much as possible. This large transport compartment is widely used in fleet expeditions and is made of extremely thin and extremely flexible but quite strong material. As a result, when it is not unfolded, the transport compartment can be folded and stored in the transport compartment, and after unfolding, a considerable amount of supplies can be stored.When this part of the transport compartment was transferred, the logistics staff at the Morinbeek Military Port were quite curious about what the old admiral wanted so many transport compartments for.But the old admiral did not answer the question of the logistics staff, but shook his finger slyly, and said very old-fashionedly: "On the battlefield, everything has its special function."
