Him and their stars

There is a saying that Yeager Soback is not a person who likes the new and hates the old. He is just a normal layman who likes the general public, changing from simplicity to luxury. To put it bluntly, with a big sister like the Battle Cruiser with such a protruding front and a curved back, who needs those young and flat yellow-haired girls in the Cruiser!

Of course he fell in love with his new ship and soon left the Blizzard as a Cow Lady behind. During this time, the commander's chair on the bridge was left to rot.

...The Royal Rabbit battlecruiser was originally designed with the flagship function in mind. It has a dedicated commander's room and commander's position. It is also decorated in a splendid way, and its habitability is also considered to be top-notch.

However, it is a completely different matter to have a new ship and be ordered by King Suliuka to personally sail the ship to conduct reconnaissance in front of the enemy.

At this time, 374 imperial warships commanded by the two Titan ships, the Angel of Dawn and the Vulcan Airan, had all arrived in the DL287 galaxy adjacent to the Ring of Miracles thirty hours ago.

Then, the Sobaek Squadron, which was responsible for leading the main reconnaissance, gave the report that "our side is unobstructed" and soon received the order of His Royal Highness King Suliuka to "come into battle with me".

Yeager Soback suddenly felt nervous. Fortunately, before he had time to object, King Suliuka was persuaded by General Farrell, Lieutenant General Barr and others.

"Indeed, everyone has gathered from all over the Dawn Star Territory. Many fleets have even come from the Gate of Glory, so they will be a little tired. At this time, we rush into the formation immediately. Even I seem a bit too brave." Queen Renhilt takes good care of herself.

Soback thought to himself that you also know how reckless you are! However, his little heart has finally stabilized a bit.

"Then, let's start taking turns to repair according to the originally planned time. Ostana, give meals to the soldiers." Brynhilt ordered.

The so-called A meal refers to a military meal that is rich, delicious and nutritious but also high in oil and sugar. To put it bluntly, it is a welfare before performing a combat mission.

It's too vicious to say it's a deprivation meal or something. Before every war, the imperial generals were convinced that they could win. Without this kind of courage, we would not have conquered such a large territory.

Admiral Farrell said: "However, if we station troops here for a day, the Earth Fleet will find out sooner or later, and the possibility of a sudden attack will disappear."

"I had no intention of making a sudden attack. The fleet came from all over the New World, and the people on Earth across the way reacted even if their nerves were made of slug mucus. Besides, they were practicing formations three months ago. , are you going for the plunderers?" Brynhild sneered: "It's not easy for everyone to come all the way here. If you don't make immortal contributions upright, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable? Is it difficult to calm down?”

With this being said, no one will object.

Soback felt that he still preferred sneak attacks, but if he was the first to attack, he would still be indifferent. Naturally, he fully agreed with King Suliuka's wise decision.

Then, he heard His Highness say:

"During this period, it's up to you, Mr. Sobaike, to investigate for yourself."

Sobek could hardly hear the rest of the words clearly, and could only accept the order while sweating profusely. Although he felt that it was dangerous to carry out enemy reconnaissance with the 10,000 main guns of the Earth Fleet, but his intuition told him that His Highness King Suliuka, who smiled as brightly as the rising sun, was much more dangerous than the Earth Fleet opposite.

Of course, probably because the video communication screen was not clear, the senior generals present at the meeting could not clearly see his face. They probably felt that this young man was "slow in speech but quick in action", and he was indeed a teachable child.

Then, it was Miss Serlu, who was loyal, reliable and calm, who carefully informed the results of the discussion. .

"Above the Ring of Miracles, the community exploration force and we are all in peace. In addition, their fleet has not launched a surprise attack on our engineering fleet stationed there. Judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no news of the war. . However, according to the observation post report of the Ring of Miracles, the main fleet of the Earth people is deploying in the outer ring of the galaxy. The most forward protection ships and arsenal fleet are only 0.5 astronomical units away from the jump point."

"...In other words, as soon as we enter the jump point, within twenty minutes at most under normal navigation, we will enter the bombardment range?" Soback asked with trembling lips.

"If it is a sub-light speed missile, it can even fire as soon as it enters the house." Miss Serlu shrugged: "Chief of Staff Barr has fully entrusted us with the investigation. However, she suggested that it is safer to operate with a single ship. "

Since it is a reconnaissance operation in front of the enemy, the smaller the target, the safer it is. After this calculation, a single ship appears to be much safer than an entire fleet.

"Then, do you want to change to the Snowstorm?" Sellu asked again.

The target of a single ship is smaller than that of a fleet. Likewise, the target of a cruiser is of course smaller than that of a battlecruiser. Moreover, the Buran, like the Royal Rabbit, is also equipped with a large gravitational wave receiving and transmitting device, a reconnaissance aircraft command terminal, a data link center and even a mystical star platform, which can serve as a flagship and perform reconnaissance. Task.

"...This, should we switch to the Buran?" Soback was a little reluctant to let go of his new wife. He was originally planning to rot in the comfortable commander's seat of the Royal Rabbit.

"Won't you change?"

"Want to change?"

"I understand, I understand. You are a world-famous general who can be called the 'Wolf of Dawn'. Changing the flagship is not a secret. But suddenly you changed to an old ship and fell into the eyes of the opponent, but you looked sneaky. That's right. It is better to do the opposite and be upright until the end. You must fight with dignity, and you can also investigate with dignity. Only then will you be worthy of your reputation!"

"...If I told you, I simply think that battlecruisers are safer than heavy cruisers. Would you believe it?"

"Hahahaha, this is actually a very good reason."

Soback sighed, held his head and murmured: "So, why is it me again? Why is it targeting me? Why why why?"

Miss Serlu was completely used to this cowardice, but she said she was emotionally stable and even felt a little sweet.

She knew that the great heroes in history who were both wise and brave were not always upright. In fact, they always had various quirks and problems in private, and they also had many down-to-earth performances full of human touch.

For example, for someone like Chief Soback, the most down-to-earth expression is talking dirty words, right? But even so, he would only say dirty words around the people closest to him. In front of the other soldiers, he was always the one who kept his wits about him and remained calm.

Miss Serlu suppressed a smile and said: "Because Ms. Chief of Staff Barr said that you were the first imperial soldier to discover the Miracle Ring. Now that you are responsible for the investigation, isn't it the guidance of the spirit of the universe?"

Well, well you Ostana Barr! She usually smiles so elegantly and gracefully, like a female professor from the liberal arts college in the university, but I didn’t expect it to be so poisonous! I have offended you before, you want to hurt me like this!

At this time, the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Pegese, said: "Well, I have a suggestion."

This young lieutenant colonel is the successor of Captain Hongshan. Different from the old sailor from Kyeyang, this is a top student who has graduated from the Imperial Royal Fleet Academy, and has also served in the Central Committee of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Although he is from an academic background, he is not as high-minded as most academic officers, and he is practical and reliable.

He had not been a member of Sobek's squadron for a long time, but he was still trusted by Sobek. The latter don't know whether they are capable, but they know that it is necessary to listen to the opinions of capable people.

At least this way, you can live longer.

"In the final analysis, we know that a war has begun, but we don't know whether the people on the opposite side of the earth know it. More importantly, they clearly have superior strength, but they only started to form formations, but there was no active attack or even reconnaissance. This In fact, it is a negative reaction. And our task is actually to determine the other party's intentions for His Highness."

Lieutenant Colonel Peggese pondered for a moment: "I think that since their attitude is negative, we are just approaching with a single ship and it should not trigger active fire."

Soback felt that although the captain's judgment was reasonable, it was too subjective.

"However, to be on the safe side, before the jump, let our gravitational wave generator play music on the public communication channel of the entire galaxy."

"ha?"

Captain Peggese added with a smile: "This is actually an act of peace. In the Seventh Galactic War, when the Empire and Alliance fleets faced off in the Fermor sector, if they wanted to fight, they would follow the normal procedures. If It’s just a show of not firing, just playing music while going through the process, and only firing a few rounds of flares once it’s within the range of the main gun.”

Miss Serlu was shocked: "Is there such an operation?"

"...Yes, these are the unspoken rules of the veteran sailors on the front line. After the Third Galactic War ended and the Galactic Civilization Council was established, the conflict between the Empire and the Alliance became more controllable, and the war model became more tacit, and these unspoken rules gradually emerged. Rules. Not to mention fleet battles, even land battles on the surface of the planet, and even the occasional encounters between exploration teams, all have these small rules." Soback sneered, looking like a knowledgeable veteran.

However, this guy grew up in the colonies after all. He had served as a low-level officer in the security regiment and the suppression force, so he was indeed knowledgeable.

Captain Peggese also sighed with some regret: "Yes! Therefore, in the four galactic wars that broke out after the Galactic Civilization Parliament, the actual control scope and national power comparison between the two countries did not change one way or another. But these eight hundred years ago, there were always new countries and new racial forces rising and declining. It was difficult for the emerging powers that had dominated the limelight in one century to continue to prosper in the next hundred years, and some of them had even been wiped out in the universe. "

Miss Serlu simply felt that the young captain was very eloquent and what he said was quite poetic.

Soback's brows couldn't help but twitch. He always felt that these contents were a bit similar to a certain banned book he had read, and more like a personal summary of the contents of the second volume of the banned book.

He said quietly: "Captain, you are indeed a smart man. But these days, smart people who see too many things they shouldn't see can easily become... well, anti-system elements."

The captain showed a magnanimous and sincere smile: "Admiral, I am just stating that it may be difficult for the Blue Star Community, the third largest military power in the universe, to be active until the second half of this century."

You better really mean it. Although Soback wanted to say a few harsh words, the captain's half-smiling look seemed to be asking "Admiral, have you read the forbidden book?", so he had no choice but to give up.

So, God behold, why are all the partners I meet this type? Yeager Soback lamented his fate for three seconds, and then said: "However, under the current situation, it always feels that it is too subtle to be concealed."

"Perhaps at this time, what we need is this feeling of being hidden. Then, we need to trust the crew's operation and the performance of the Royal Rabbit." Miss Serlu, who was very interested, said: "Sir, I I think that if you want to play music, it would be best to use the most popular famous songs from Earth."

"Oh, "The Dark Side of the Stars" or "Have You Heard the People Sing"?" Soback said listlessly.

"This one, let's go with "The Dark Side of the Stars". The latter is too strong, and if you're not careful, people will think we are anti-establishment elements." Miss Serlu said.

Co-authored by you, Yemenite Qing!

Just like that, after a short period of repairs, the battlecruiser Royal Rabbit was launched into the open and jumped into the Ring of Miracles galaxy. Then, the first thing he saw was the artificial starlight that filled the sky, dominating almost everything Sobek could see with his naked eyes.

At this moment, his mind went blank.

However, Captain Pegsey was correct. The Royal Rabbit was indeed within the capture range of the sublight missiles, and was definitely locked by the arsenal fleet on the opposite side, but they did not fire.

It is now August 7, after 22:00 Galactic Standard Time. Under normal circumstances, most of the community soldiers on the opposite side should have rested. Looking at the current scene, the Community fleet on the opposite side has obviously entered full combat readiness.

However, they still did not fire.

So, before Sobek could give his instructions, Captain Peggese gave his instructions. This is how the performance of the Royal Rabbit began.

The "Dark Side of the Starry Sky" played by Royal Rabbit this time is not the original theme song of the movie "Cold Hill", but a re-arranged concert version. The tempo is faster, the singing is more confessional and easier to sing, and the music style also adds a lot of exciting electronic music.

This battleship with its eye-catching livery was playing the music of a slut and matched it with an even sluttier cruising attitude. Under the watchful eyes of the huge fleet of the Community, it started cruising at a pace that would not recognize any of its relatives.

They walked in an irregular semicircle, and recently, they had even reached the effective range of the main guns of the Earth's capital ships. Those independent-level fearless weapons can instantly tear these careless battle patrols into pieces as long as they take a step forward and fire thousands of cannons.

However, the Earthlings still did not fire.

The Royal Rabbit even reached a position that was only 0.5 astronomical units away from the Ring of Miracles, and even chatted and laughed with the Imperial exploration team above before starting to turn around. This time, she once again passed through the front of the Community fleet, her posture was always bold and appropriate, and she even sent a friendly signal to the Earth battleship on the opposite side with high emotional intelligence.

"Have you been working hard? Have you eaten? What did you have for midnight snack?"

"...Instant noodles soaked in compressed biscuits and canned luncheon meat." The Earthling on the other side probably thought that he would lose if he remained silent, but he actually responded.

"Ahahaha, we have creamy mushroom noodles, barbecue steak, and ice cream! Ahahaha!"

The Earth Fleet, which had broken through the defense, was so angry that it directly blocked the communication. But until this time, they still didn't fire, watching as the Yutu jumped out of the system again.
