Unfortunately, even turning off the sound and the camera did not stop Mei Jielin and others from using the communication channel as a chat room.
They began to type words blatantly.
Mei Jie Lin: "I am now overwhelmed with the excitement of becoming the richest person in the expeditionary army..."
Weiyin: "Brother, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"
Duchamp: "Brothers, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget each other!"
Long Xiyun: “I second the motion.”
Mei Jie Lin: "Have you ever seen anyone who won a bet and brought three burdens to share the money? Get lost!"
At the same time, while Mei Jielin was walking the rebels, he also had the mind to open a separate channel to express his unspeakable feelings: "Wein, am I really not seeing things? That scene just now almost blinded my dog eyes! It seems that the commander does not want the title of 'the first bachelor of the expeditionary force' anymore!"
Wei Yin said, "The commander should have given up on this a long time ago."
Mei Jie Lin thought about it and agreed, but she felt a little jealous. "I'm jealous, really jealous! Qi Yan is so handsome, like a painting, and at first glance he is a noble young master. I accidentally glanced at his virtual screen, and I have only seen the series of characters in the technical department. He is a student of the school across the river. Why don't I have such a good fortune to command him!"
At this time, Pojun reminded again that there was a high-density heat signal in the jump channel. Meijielin suppressed her sad tone and ordered the fleet to change its formation. At the same time, she ordered the right turret of the Chanyuan to rise, aim the laser cannon at the jump exit, and start preheating the barrel. By the way, she asked Weiyin, who was guarding the rear, to make a feint to lure the enemy troops behind to the side.
Mei Jie Lin continued to talk whenever she could, "You think I'm seriously injured now? If I lie down in a corner of Leto, will someone pick me up?"
"You will most likely die." Wein asked again, "What blessing are you talking about?"
Mei Jielin rolled her eyes. "What kind of blessing can I have? I'm a soldier, flying around in space every day without touching the ground. Who wants to follow me? Right wing, get ready, 3-2-1-fire!"
Outside the porthole, a huge flame rose quietly in space. Because there was no sound and the temperature could not be sensed, it seemed unreal.
Wei Yin understood the meaning of her words and was surprised: "Why, you don't want to sleep with different men anymore, do you want to settle down?"
"Is this something I can decide just because I want to?"
Wei Yin was really surprised: "Are you really determined?"
Mei Jie Lin was indignant: "Of course I thought about it! You see, I am a front-line officer and I have to be alert at all times. I finally met someone I like, slept with her, and had a fleeting romance. It seemed so casual. But, it was just one fucking night, and I didn't even have time to teach her the ropes, and it was already dawn!"
Wei's laughter came along with the beeping sounds of countless instruments, "Hahaha, sleeping with multiple men is a last resort, but sleeping with one man is your goal?"
Mei Jielin couldn't help but raise the corner of her lips, "Forget it, why don't I have this blessing? It's all because of the rebels. Blast him!"
So the rebels fighting against the Chanyuan discovered that the captain had some temporary problem and his fighting style was even more ferocious than usual!
In the command room, after Lu Fenghan was hugged for a while, he stopped him from leaving. He then put his hands around Qi Yan's waist, changed his position, and put him on his lap.
After that, he asked, "How about sitting like this?"
Qi Yan had no objection.
He didn't feel disgusted. In fact, because they were so close, the feeling of uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart slowly receded like the tide.
Lu Fenghan patted Qi Yan's waist twice and turned on a one-way video call. In this way, Mei Jielin and the others could only see his photo in the dialog box.
At this time, Mei Jielin was asking Long Xiyun and Du Shang in the channel: "I'm bored walking here, if it's ok, I'll do it?"
Long Xiyun: "Have you almost dealt with the defenders, Du Shang?"
Dushan replied: "The planetary defense system will be shut down in forty-five seconds. Gather at my place."
Mei Jie Lin listened and said: "Okay, then I'll start!"
After listening to this, Qi Yan didn't understand what Mei Jielin was going to do, but thirty seconds later, he understood everything.
Suddenly, large patches of yellow light spots appeared on the star map like flowers blooming everywhere. When the yellow light spots disappeared, most of the light spots representing the rebel starships also disappeared.
Lu Fenghan temporarily stopped talking and explained to Qi Yan: "The yellow light spot is a thunder that has exploded."
Qi Yan understood immediately, and he had an excellent memory: "While Mei Jie Lin was chasing the rebels, he laid down thunderbolts along the way. He waited for the enemy to lose their vigilance and led them into the battle formation. Then, he took advantage of the short period of time before the explosion and escaped from the explosion circle at full speed?"
"Almost. Before leaving, Mei Jielin made a special trip to the technical department. The mines she laid would only be detected by the rebels' monitoring system a dozen or twenty seconds before they exploded. Although this time was short, it would be easy for the rebels to retreat quickly, but she was not trying to get them out of the way. While the rebels were getting angry because of her 'kite flying', she quietly blocked the 'exits'. The rebels had to stay in the formation and were bombed thoroughly from the inside out."
Lu Fenghan asked Qi Yan to look, "After the explosion, the enemy's medium-sized ships and main ships did not suffer much damage, but the destroyers and reconnaissance ships were all blown up. The combat effectiveness was rapidly weakened, and the morale was also greatly damaged. In this half-crippled situation, the enemy commander will worry about whether Mei Jielin has other ambushes, so he will cautiously gather his fleet and tie up his hands and feet. Mei Jielin's momentum is at its peak, and the next step is to step on her face and hit her."
Qi Yan looked to the other side: "This rebel army is also unable to spare time to support the military factory."
"That's right. As soon as Long Xiyun arrived, he released the signal jammer to block the distress signal from the military factory. Then, within the time limit, he eliminated the defenders and destroyed the planetary defense system. When the signal jammer failed, Donald would receive the distress signal, but it would be too late."
Qi Yan: "Because Long Xiyun and the others have switched from offense to defense?"
"Yes, if it was only Long Xiyun, he wouldn't be able to hold the attack. But Du Shang has gone, and although the Jiangling hasn't moved, the commandos are all there, so it's no problem to hold a small planet."
This is also the reason why Lu Fenghan ordered Du Shang to assist Long Xiyun.
"In addition, Donald has a fixed number of people under his command. A lot of them were consumed in the first battle, and a lot is invested this time. It is impossible for many people to stay behind. If Donald chooses to support the front battlefield, it is equivalent to completely giving up the military factory. If he chooses to support the military factory, it will be easy for him to lose control in a short time. Then, after Mei Jielin wins the front battlefield, he will turn around and go to the military factory to help."
Lu Fenghan looked at the star map and said, "I wonder if Donald will choose to cut off one hand or both hands. No matter what he chooses, he has already lost the initiative in the battle."
In the communication channel, Mei Jie Lin's eyes were bright, and she was very calm when she gave orders. Only when the enemy's main ship was blown off the back third of the ship did she sneer: "Ha, naked bald chicken!"
At the same time, a dialog box was connected, and Chagall was so excited that his voice almost chopped off: "Report to the commander! I found the enemy's new weapon! Mission successfully completed!"
"That's right," Lu Fenghan replied, "but the mission can only be truly completed if you come back alive."
In the video dialog box, Chagall's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and he saluted Lu Fenghan: "Yes! I will complete the task!" Before he put his hand down, he couldn't help but grin.
Qi Yan compared the person in the dialog box with the one in his memory, and felt that in just half a year, Chagall had changed a lot from when he was studying at the First Military Academy.
Then I thought again, not only Chagall, Ye Pei, and Mondrian have also changed a little.
Looking at the battle situation, Qi Yan asked Lu Fenghan again: "Will the enemy not send more troops?"
The audio was not turned off, and several people in the communication channel also heard it. Mei Jielin continued: "Donald, that coward, is even less timid than my ear holes. He is so cautious that he is afraid of pulling his x if he takes a big step. He must be urging his people to retreat quickly!"
Weiyin quickly interrupted: "Mejielin, do you have pierced ears?"
Mei Jie Lin said angrily: "Get lost, do you believe I can pierce your ears with one shot?"
Wei Yin glared and said, "Brother, do you have to be so cruel? My ears are starting to hurt now!"
Metierin was too lazy to pay any more attention to Weiin and quickly gave the order: "The enemy is about to retreat, stop them! The people can leave, but the supply ship must stay! Not only must we win, but we must also make up for the loss!"
Weiyin: "Everyone who sees it gets a share?"
Mei Jielin was not at all sympathetic: "There are no brothers in front of the supply ship! At most I'll give you a look."
Lu Fenghan's ears hurt from the noise, and he felt that the communication channel had become a stage for a double act.
No, this stage is too small to accommodate their brilliance.
When the Chanyuan fleet returned, the technical department began to rush to the military factory that had just been captured to study the rebels' new weapons. Vincent had already written the manuscript of the second great victory.
"The editors of Leto Daily are not very good. They can't grasp the essence. It's better for me to write it myself!"
Lu Fenghan read the manuscript from beginning to end and approved it. "Okay, hand it over to the Leto Daily."
Vincent, who was satisfied with the approval, took the manuscript to contact the editor-in-chief. At the door, he ran into Metierine and Wein who were about to come in.
Weiyin blocked Vincent and asked quietly, "Are you still brothers? You didn't even reveal such important information!"
Vincent looked confused: "What information?"
Wei Yin said in a low voice, fearing that others might hear him: "It's about the information that will make me the richest man in the expeditionary army!"
Vincent's eyes widened. "What kind of intelligence is so powerful? I don't even know it when I do intelligence research! Come on, tell me about it, so we can get rich together!"
Wein frowned, and based on their years of friendship, he concluded that although Vincent had always been in Leto, he really didn't know that Commander and Qi Yan were in a high-ranking relationship.
After thinking about it, he decided to pit his brother instead of anyone else: "You can leave now. There is no information."
Mei Jie Lin, who was standing nearby, crossed her arms and shook her head, sighing, "The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill!"
The door of the command room closed again. Lu Fenghan didn't wait for the two to sit down. "Take the time to rest. After the technical department has developed the rebels' new weapons, we will go directly to trouble Donald. By the way, Weiyin, tell Vincent to call Dingyuan back."
After Meijielin and Weiyin reported back, they hurried off to deal with post-war matters. Qi Yan then asked, "Are you going to go in person to cause trouble?"
"Well, Donald now only has remnants of his army, and their morale is low. This is a good time to completely wipe them out. The first two battles were just testing the waters. The results of the test are that we can fight as soon as possible, and the chances of winning are very high."
When Lu Fenghan spoke to Qi Yan, his speech speed naturally slowed down, "Do you want to go back to the White Tower?"
Knowing that Lu Fenghan was concerned about his safety, Qi Yan shook his head: "I'll follow you."
At this moment, Lu Fenghan's eyes suddenly darkened.
He heard his own heartbeat.
The pleasure of having his possessiveness completely satisfied filled his blood vessels and spread throughout his body. This feeling is even difficult to describe in words.
Lu Fenghan couldn't help but think that Qi Yan was no longer just half a contraband item to him.
Control his emotions and take charge of his heartbeat.
There is communication access.
Qi Yan returned to the sofa in the corner, turned on the virtual screen, and checked the operation of the new detection system in the battle that had just ended.
In the video dialog box that appeared on the virtual screen, Lorenz, the head of the technical department, was wearing a white coat and said, "Commander, I have taken a preliminary look. Give me fifteen hours to deconstruct it."
Lu Fenghan was like the most cunning Party A, not even blinking: "Thirteen hours, and then submit a response report."
Lorenz was used to Lu Fenghan's pressure, so he thought for a moment and replied, "Okay."
After reporting the business, Lorenz did not forget to mock the rebels' behavior: "They use technological destruction as their target every day, mocking the Alliance's development of technology as a challenge to God's authority. In this military factory, they don't seem to be waiting quietly for God to give them artillery bombs."
"Openly opposing the development of science and technology, they secretly use science and technology to strengthen theocracy, calling all scientific and technological achievements 'God's gift', elevating God to the highest level, and then exercising dictatorial rule in the name of God. This is an old tactic of the rebels." Lu Fenghan ordered again, "Have Du Shang and his men bring back everything that can be used, and blow up everything that can't be used."
Duchamp responded from outside the screen: "Understood! Once you see it, it's ours. We won't leave even a hair for the enemy!"
At this time, the personal terminal prompted that a message had been received. Lu Fenghan clicked it and found that it was from Vincent, asking him to remember to update the content of the pension application form.
The pension application form is a form that every active soldier in the alliance will receive. Death is not uncommon for soldiers on the front lines. Lu Fenghan has no family, so he used to make a note that if he died on the front line one day, his pension would be confiscated.
At this moment, the mood was a little different.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Qi Yan, and after a few seconds he replied, "I won't fill it out. I give up the pension."
Vincent didn't understand and asked "why".
These three words made Lu Fenghan very upset.
He recalled the moment Qi Yan bit his lower lip and it bled when he ejected the escape pod on the founding day.
Thinking back to the time when I got through to Eliza's call and listened to every word she said, I felt a dull pain in my body that made it so hard that I couldn't even breathe.
I remembered Qi Yan's words "Hello, General" when we met on the bridge, and the hand that was as cool as snow that she handed to me.
Lu Fenghan thought, if I really had to give a reason—
From now on, my life is no longer mine alone.
