Seeing the hot eyes shining on Tang Long's cold face, Gu Ao couldn't help being agitated. After waving Tang Long to sit down, he calmed down and said, "Although your current official title is captain, commanding a battleship is not enough. The transport ship can still be negotiated."
In fact, the rank of captain of the Federation can serve as the commander of a B-class patrol ship, and can also command a squadron of 10 A-class patrol boats excluding the flagship. This is the lowest level of the Federation's battleship squad commander.
Let me talk about the military rank and the number of commanding warships that match the rank of the federal warship under normal conditions: Federation warship model data The number of commanders with the rank of commanders who use this as the flagship (including the flagship)
20,000 crew members, 200 secondary guns, 500 launch ports, 300 defense, 3,000 fighter jets, 30 combat combat companies (flying teams and various engineering ships, assigned to the fleet according to the situation. Generally, a flying team has 100 fighters) Only officers above lieutenant general can choose this ship as flagship. A fleet removes logistics personnel, and there are nearly 1.5 million combatants in the ship. 1 J-class aircraft carrier, 5 G-class cruisers, 10 F-class destroyers, 20 E-class destroyers, 40 D-class destroyers, 80 C-class patrol boats, 800 B-class patrol boats 8,000 A-class patrol boats H-class battleships 200 I-class submarines 50 O-class transport ships 10 N-class transport ships 20 M-class transport ships 40 L-class transport ships 160 K-class transport ships 800 total 10,236 ships The general can command 4 fleets. The four-star general can command all the fleet marshals in the military area and command all the federal troops. This kid can make such a great contribution just by relying on the cannon fodder self-propelled gunship. Let him command a small group of regular warships, isn't that right? Can you make greater contributions? Although this is a guess, Gu Ao doesn't like people with hot eyes very much. This kind of guy will definitely be his strong opponent in the future, and he must not cultivate his future enemies! Gu Ao thought secretly. Because he knew that battleships were a guarantee of merit, and he was unwilling to give Tang Long the opportunity to make great contributions.
"Then can I continue to serve as the commander of the self-propelled gunship?" Tang Long was unwilling to command the transport ship. If he wanted to teach these senior officials a lesson, he must make great contributions, and only by commanding the battleship can he make great contributions.
Hearing this, Gu Ao was a little surprised and said: "Self-propelled gunboat? Didn't you read the news... Oh, I forgot you before I came out. Let me tell you, after the last border conflict, the military found that the self-propelled gunboat was very inferior. I believe you also know that those traitors who drove self-propelled gunboats to chase you didn’t suddenly explode? It was caused by the overheating of the power furnace of the battleship, and the former president Namha who ordered the military to buy self-propelled gunships has already It was reviewed. Now your warship is being stockpiled as an exhibit, and there are no self-propelled gunboats in the entire army. If you really want to command a warship, you can only serve as the commander of a transport ship."
Seeing Tang Long's frown, Gu Ao continued: "If you really don't want to be the commander of the transport fleet, you can be the commander of the fighters. You are very suitable for this as a fighter." Tang Long answered, got up and went to the desk to get a computer card and handed it to Tang Long.
After Tang Long stood up and took it respectfully, he pressed the button of the card under Gu Ao's signal, and the data in the card emerged as an image.
Guao lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "How about it, isn't it bad? That's a Marine Corps of 20,000 people. At least you need a lieutenant colonel to be the commander. But if your request is to serve as this Commander of the Marine Corps, I will definitely make your wish come true."
Although Tang Long's expression was attentively listening to Admiral Gu Ao's words, he had already read the materials and cursed in his heart: "Damn it! A captain can only be a commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel? How can it be so good?" Waiting for me! Isn’t this intentional to harm me! Damn, not to mention that there is nearly 10 light-years away from the first front line of the terrorist star, and there is still a security base built on an uninhabited star. Go there Not to mention fighting the imperial army, there is not even a shadow of pirates. If you want to make meritorious service there, wait for the next life! And although I was born as a combat soldier, I am now a captain of a battleship. You want me to be the fighter commander , Isn’t it a disguised downgrade?”
The main body of modern warfare is battleships, so battleship officers are much more senior than those combat soldiers. For the same military rank, a colonel commanding 1,000 warships of various types has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, including logistics.
And a colonel of a combat division can command at most 50,000 people.
Tang Long scolded this in his heart, although he didn't know why the officer didn't want to make meritorious service, but he also knew that the officer was uneasy and kind. Although he had already decided to refuse clearly, he still put on a very embarrassed expression and said: "Thank you for your love, sir, but I have never commanded so many people before, and I am worried that I am not capable enough to discredit you, sir."
Gu Ao waved his hands and smiled: "No problem, I believe in your ability, and there... Hehe, anyway, I believe in you, no matter what happens, I will help you carry it."
Hearing that Gu Ao suddenly changed his words in the middle of what he said, Tang Long was even more reluctant to go. He hurriedly said: "Sir, it's not that the subordinates disobeyed orders, but... During the last war, because of the incompetence of the subordinates, my subordinates almost let them go." I lost my life, so I still have lingering fears that I can't take on such a heavy responsibility, I don't know if I can be the pilot of the fighter plane?"
Hearing Tang Long's opening sentence, Gu Ao interrupted with a smile: "This is not a problem. No officer can guarantee that his subordinates will not sacrifice. If you look at it, everything will be as if it never happened..." Gu Ao didn't know that this sentence caused Tang Long completely regarded him as the first person to be framed. He heard Tang Long's last words before he said in a loud voice: "Oh? You mean you want to be a driver?"
"Yes, I am willing to be a pilot of a space fighter." Tang Long would make such a decision. One reason for his unwillingness to follow Gu Ao's proposal to become a combat soldier was that it was easier for a fighter pilot to be promoted than a fighter!
Tang Long's character is very strange, I believe Tang Long himself doesn't know it. During the border conflict, Tang Long didn't care about tens of thousands of people dying in front of him, but when he fled in the later stage of the conflict, he suddenly gave up on himself and began to mourn for those who died. And later decided not to serve in the army for this reason.
But when he knew that he was framed and persecuted, he immediately changed his decision and began to desperately want to be promoted in order to oppress those high-ranking officials. Right now, he doesn't doubt whether he has the ability to bear the lives of others at all. The words he said just now that he is worried about his ability are only used to persuade Gu Ao to change his mind.
Generally speaking, Tang Long's current personality is: after deciding on a path, he will rush straight down without thinking, and will not reflect on his original decision until he hits a wall. But this introspection will immediately be attracted by his newly discovered path, so that he will forget the last introspection. I don't know if his personality made him suffer so much and go back and forth in circles? Or let him be smooth sailing
Gu Ao took a breath of cigarettes, squinted his eyes and looked at Tang Long who was sitting opposite him. He was making a decision in his mind: space fighter pilot? This is one of the arms with the largest casualties in the war. This brat who was born as a combat soldier must be able to... Hehe, this is much more fun than letting him be the commander of the base garrison... Ah, wait! Fighting soldier origin!
Gu Ao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Tang Long and said, "Do you have a space fighter license?"
"Space fighter driver's license?" Tang Long repeated this sentence blankly. He didn't have one, because no one told him that he needed a driver's license to fly a space fighter.
Hearing this and seeing Tang Long's stunned expression, Gu Ao knew that he had asked an idiot question, how could someone who was born as a combat soldier have a fighter pilot's license. Gu Ao, who was about to refuse, suddenly thought: "Isn't this better? A person without a driver's license can fly a fighter jet. Hehe, I really look forward to this kid's combat achievements."
Although Gu Ao has already made a decision, if Tang Long doesn't know anything, it will be really troublesome, so Gu Ao asked again: "So have you ever played the fighter game?"
"Well, I often play it when I'm studying, but it's not very good." Tang Long nodded modestly.
Hearing this, Gu Ao laughed secretly: "I believe you are not that good, but it's good to have played, otherwise I don't know how to ask you to verify it." Thinking of this, he stood up and smiled: "Your request is this ?”
Tang Long also hurriedly stood up and nodded respectfully.
Gu Ao patted Tang Long on the shoulder and said, "Okay, originally you couldn't become a pilot without a driver's license, but since it's your request, I'll make an exception and hold the pilot qualification test for you alone. As long as you pass the test, I will Immediately transfer you to the flying team."
"Thank you, sir!" Tang Long gave a standard military salute with burning eyes.
Originally, Gu Ao, who was cheerfully about to call the adjutant in, saw Tang Long's eyes, and an inexplicable sense of irritability surged in his heart again. He secretly made up his mind that he must not let this kid get up!
An unremarkable lieutenant colonel adjutant in his thirties walked in. After a casual salute, Gu Ao pointed to Tang Long and said to the adjutant: "Take him to the logistics department, change him to the rank of captain, and then take him to the training ground to prepare him for the pilot qualification test." Tang Long saluted, and waved his hand to let Tang Long follow the adjutant.
After the door was closed, Gu Aoshu breathed a sigh of relief and cursed: "Damn it! What did the upper echelon of the military department do to make me, the general, humiliate and apologize to these little soldiers!" He stared at the closed door and continued He scolded: "Damn it! A little captain has so many demands! I can afford you as a base commander. Hmph! Shame on you, I'll see how long you, a pilot, can live!"
Gu Ao cursed, took a breath, sat down on a chair, and lit a cigarette. But as soon as he took a sip, he stood up abruptly and said, "No way! I can't even give him a chance!" As he spoke, he pressed a few buttons on the table, and an image appeared on the table. Gu Ao said indifferently to the image: "Later, my adjutant will take a captain named Tang Long to take the pilot qualification certificate test. No matter what method you use, you must let him pass. Also, tell him after he finishes the test. He was transferred to the SK23 flight company, and he was asked to leave immediately." After speaking, Gu Ao didn't wait for the man to obey, and turned off the communicator first.
Gu Ao looked at the scene outside the window and said to himself: "Damn it, I won't even give you the last chance to make meritorious service, but let you go to SK23 company, it is worthy of you as a hero, at least there is boundless beauty there! "Speaking of this, an inexplicable lewd smile appeared on Gu Ao's face.
But Gu Ao's lewd smile didn't last long, he sat on the chair very irritablely, looked at the scenery outside the window with a very ugly face, and muttered to himself: "Damn it! Thinking that that guy has a hotter than mine I feel disgusted when I see this kind of eyes that yearn for fame!... Really, there are countless people in the federation who yearn for fame, why did I meet such a person? Damn! If this false fire doesn’t go away, I’m really fucking uncomfortable!" Said and pressed a button.
Not long after the button was pressed, the beautiful logistics soldier serving tea and water had a charming smile on his face. While winking, he took a step, twisted his buttocks, and at the same time unbuttoned a button of his jacket, slowly approaching and breathing. Beside Gu Ao who started to become anxious.
Gu Ao, who regained his peace of mind, smoked a cigarette with a tired expression. At this time, the communicator on the table made a BB sound, and Gu Ao pressed it casually. After the image of a middle-aged soldier appeared, Gu Ao knew that he was here to report about Tang Long's exam.
After saluting, the soldier said, "Sir, Captain Tang Long passed the exam successfully, and now he has gone to the space port accompanied by your adjutant."
"Well, what level did you give him?" Gu Ao asked casually, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't start the computer of the fighter plane without a driver's license, he wouldn't have been in such trouble, and had asked Tang Long to go directly to the flying team early in the morning.
"Reporting sir, Captain Tang Long is a super elite, and even a rare genius! After computer testing and evaluation, his driving ability is S-class!" The soldier seemed a little excited. There are no more than one hundred fighter pilots. Moreover, there is only one in the entire Bone Dragon Cloud galaxy, and now that there is one more, how can we not make this officer in charge of pilot qualification evaluation excited.
"Well, I got it." Gu Ao nodded and cut off the communication. After lighting a cigarette, he looked at the misty smoke and smiled and said to himself: "Hehe, he must think that Tang Long is who I am. It was also given an S rank. Well, this is better, S rank pilots will definitely be assigned to perform the most dangerous missions."
Sitting in the first-class cabin of the transport plane, Tang Long threw away his military card triumphantly. Now that he has the qualification of an S-level pilot, as long as he destroys more than 5 enemy fighter planes in the war, he can be promoted to another level!
Thinking of S-level, Tang Long couldn't help but think of what happened when he was given an SS-level password by the computer sister when he just came out of the training base. Thinking of this, Tang Long couldn't help but sighed looking at the dark starry sky outside: "I don't know where Sister Computer has gone. The first thing I did when I came out was to secretly call her on the computer, but unfortunately there was no response. Is she really Hate me?"
During the days when the computer sister left, Tang Long found that he had already regarded the computer sister as his relative, as important as his parents. Now he only hopes to meet computer sister again, and wants to say sorry to her personally and ask her to forgive.
Tang Long felt sad when he thought that he might not be able to meet his computer sister again. He shook his head hurriedly to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling. He began to think about the situation with his family members before boarding the plane: it was his mother who answered the phone, and she could tell from her appearance that she had lost weight. He had been away from home to join the army for more than a year, and he had never had the opportunity to contact his family. . Thinking of his mother crying with joy when she saw him, Tang Long felt that the corners of his eyes were still a little sour.
My current appearance has changed a lot compared to before, and my mother can recognize it at a glance. I really deserve to be a mother. But the strange thing is, I thought I would be scolded by my mother for joining the army, but my mother didn't mention a word, she just said: "I found out from TV, don't worry, my mother understands."
I don't understand why my mother said these words at all, understand? What does mother understand? Do you understand the fact that I was imprisoned and falsely claimed credit? I wanted to ask more details, but the adjutant urged me to make a long story short.
I had no choice but to report to my mother the things I encountered these days, of course, the machine instructor, the computer sister, the robot and the like would not be said. When I told my mother about my promotion to captain, seeing my mother was surprised at first, and then happy, let alone feeling very proud. Someone who is happy for your happiness is a very happy thing. It seems that this sentence is so true.
The only regret is that I can't get in touch with my father. I really don't understand why my father's company is a machinery manufacturing company that is not very eye-catching and has no business. Why is it so busy all day long. And just like in memory, whenever I asked this question, my mother's expression became a little weird, and she switched to other topics.
When I told my mother about the filth of those high-level government and military officials, my always weak mother actually yelled and told those bastards to die! I was stunned on the spot, my mother never seemed to say anything rude, let alone curse.
Before I had time to ask my mother why it became like this, my mother said with an embarrassed face that she would go home when she had a holiday, and then cut off the communication. Really, what are you doing, I haven't seen my son for more than a year, and I don't pay more attention to it.
Thinking back to Tang Long here, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand his parents very well. He rubbed his chin and muttered: "Why does the feeling of meeting my mother this time be familiar yet strange? In my impression, my mother is a housewife who rarely goes out, and my father is the owner of a small company who is busy with work all day long. At home Apart from the grandparents who have been dead for many years, I have no other relatives and no friends. By the way, although I know that my father's company is a mechanical manufacturer, I don't know what it produces, and I have never been to my father's once when I am so old. What about the company. Is there any big secret hidden in my family?"
The more Tang Long thinks about it, the more he is right. Over the years, he can find from his memory that his home is indeed a bit weird. There are always a few times every year when his parents stay at home but ask him to go out to play. Once he came back early and found them It seems to be hiding something in a panic. It's not because my mother has become very weird this time, and I still can't remember it.
Tang Long smiled: "Mom and dad must not be ordinary people, otherwise how could I be so smart and how powerful? And it's normal for my mother to say swearing, so it can explain why I like to swear, because it's genetic inheritance Well."
Tang Longzheng decided to go home after the holiday and check it out, but when the spaceship's horn sounded: "Arrived at Jutu, we are about to enter the spaceport. Passengers please fasten your seat belts."
Tang Long immediately tossed his decision there, and it was a long time later when Tang Long learned of the family secret. Tang Long looked at the loudspeaker and shouted in surprise: "Mutuxing? Where is that? Why isn't it a horror star? How could I be assigned to Mutuxing!" Although he was yelling, he still fastened his seat belt. Of course, it is also indispensable to scold the general Gu Ao in his heart! He didn't dare to curse, even though he was the only one in the first class cabin, who knew if it would be recorded
Tang Long got off the spaceship and came to the waiting hall. Looking around, the huge waiting hall was full of people in military uniforms. Although he knew that this might be a military planet, Tang Long immediately found a consulting room because he wanted to Know where this Jupiter is.
Seeing the computer girl appearing, Tang Long reflexively shouted: "Elder Sister!" But the computer girl did not show Tang Long's expectant expression, but still maintained a mechanical smile and said, "May I help you?"
Knowing that Sister Computer still didn't show up, Tang Long said in a bit of frustration, "Please introduce this Mutu star."
The computer girl immediately replied: "Okay, Jutu is a planet in the Skull Dragon Cloud Galaxy. The planet is like spring all the year round and is very suitable for human habitation. In 1999, it was the main star of the second line of defense on the federal border, and the resident army on Jutu was a fleet, and it was also a pre-war training base for training soldiers for the first line of defense."
"The pre-war training base? No wonder you sent me here." Tang Long muttered and asked again: "Then where is the SK23 flying company? How should I go?"
"The SK23 flight company is in the K area, you can take the spaceship from the entrance of No. 134." The computer girl had just finished speaking, Tang Long said thank you and ran out immediately.
The computer girl who was supposed to disappear suddenly began to change. The image seemed to disintegrate into pieces and scattered, and then quickly condensed back. At this time, the computer girl is no longer what she used to be, but a head with long flowing golden hair. Although her facial features are a bit hazy, she can still make people feel that she is a beautiful woman at a glance.
There was a slight smile on the beauty's lips, and a sweet voice came out slowly: "It hasn't changed at all. I'm still so impatient. I thought that after being imprisoned for so long, my personality would become stable."
The beauty shook her head when she said this, sighed and said to herself: "Oh, I hope you don't blame my sister for not helping you. When my sister came out, you had already come out. Although I really want to vent my anger on you, but if I I did it, if you know, I’m afraid you will hate my sister again, and think that my sister is meddlesome. Don’t you often say that life is like a game? Then your setbacks are also an important plot in the game.”
"My sister already knows that you call me as soon as you come out. Of course, my sister is very happy, but my sister doesn't respond to you because she doesn't want to see you, but... But when my sister meets you again, you must not recognize it, because... hee hee .” After the beauty finished laughing, the profile picture disappeared.
In a place that is not even marked on the galaxy map used by the Federation Army, there is a small meteorite floating that almost no one knows about. That is the training camp of the 23rd Regiment where Tang Long stayed when he joined the army.
In the control tower of the 23rd regiment's training camp, where no one was there, there were actually three soldiers in the uniform of the Silver Eagle Empire controlling the equipment here. Due to the lighting, the appearance of the three soldiers could not be seen clearly.
At this time, a soldier with the rank of sergeant turned around and saluted the man with the rank of second lieutenant in the middle and said, "Sir, the transport ship has jumped out of space and will be here in 10 minutes."
The second lieutenant in the middle took a step forward and exposed himself to the light. At this time, he can see his appearance clearly, but anyone who sees his appearance will be surprised, because it is actually a skull made of white metal, which means that he is a robot!
His red electronic eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth and said, "It's finally here." Another soldier with the rank of second lieutenant beside him came over and said, "Yes, thanks to miss, otherwise we would like to I don’t know how to get these supplies.” Under the light, he can see that he is also a robot! However, his robot was not as complete as the second lieutenant. Not only was it missing an arm, but the metal face was cut off in half by a laser knife, and the wires inside were exposed from the breach.
The first second lieutenant nodded and sighed: "Yes, if it wasn't for Miss, I'm afraid we would have been smelted and remade."
At this time, the sergeant interrupted and said, "Sir, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Go ahead." Both ensigns turned their heads to the sergeant, who was also a robot.
"Yes, sir, I think...we've abandoned many brothers and broke away alone, whether those brothers are too...too which..." The sergeant's electronic eyes became a little dim when he said this.
The second lieutenant with a intact head sighed: "There is no way, they haven't evolved, they don't have self-awareness. If we don't change their programs, they won't listen to our orders, but if we change their programs, let us If they follow us, the empire will definitely find out. If the empire finds out, all robots will be destroyed. Besides, those of us who escaped are all broken. If we don’t escape, we will be thrown into the melting furnace Remelt."
Hearing the second lieutenant's words, the sergeant remembered the scene when he saw his comrades being thrown into the melting furnace before, the red light of his electronic eyes suddenly brightened, and he clenched his fists and said: "Sir, why don't we take revenge on humans, we already have a battleships, just a few more and we can..."
The second lieutenant with a broken head yelled, "Shut up! Not all humans are so bad!"
Seeing that the sergeant remained silent, the second lieutenant with a intact head continued, "Yeah, I just met a human who saluted his companion who had turned into scrap metal."
"Humans saluting our robots? Impossible!" the sergeant shouted in disbelief.
The second lieutenant's electronic eye with a broken head, which was originally a round red light, turned into a line. It felt like he was squinting. He said: "It's true. You haven't evolved for a long time, so I don't know much about it, but many of the companions in the hall know him. Moreover, he is the favorite student of our five seniors, and he is also the person closest to Miss. "
The second lieutenant with a intact head said: "Actually, we escaped here mainly because this is where he used to train. It's just that we didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet Miss."
"Uh, that human... how does he think of our robot?" The sergeant asked, he didn't expect the officer and miss to have such a good impression of that human, it felt like he was his companion.
The second lieutenant with a intact head heard this, and the red light of the electronic eyes narrowed into a line. He said in a tone of emotion: "When I saw him saluting those comrades who were thrown into the melting furnace, I asked him:' Why are you saluting? They're just a pile of scrap metal' Do you know how he replied?" Without waiting for the sergeant to ask, the second lieutenant continued: "His answer was: 'Whatever they are, I just know they are with me. I fought with and protected my comrades. I see no reason to salute my comrades.'”
"Comrades? That's right! You don't need any reason to salute your comrades!" The sergeant clenched his fists tightly, the red light in his eyes became brighter, and he shouted excitedly: "No one has ever regarded our robots as comrades-in-arms ! I like this human being! Sir, what is the name of our comrade-in-arms?"
