Chapter 4 Current Status of the Federation
The two fleets stopped in the outer space of the Berwick Galaxy and did not enter the galaxy. Most countries' policies and regulations prohibit large and medium-sized battle fleets from entering the star system at will for security reasons. There is also such a rule in the Lichma Federation. The fleet leadership did not want to make trouble, but sent logistics transport ships with the fleet into the galaxy to transport strategic materials such as energy blocks that the Federation had already prepared.
These energy blocks are provided by the Federation. Although the models of warships are different and the ammunition of some weapons need to be secretly sent from Chu Tang, as the power core and the energy of beam weapons, the energy blocks of the whole universe are standard models, only the concentration is different.
The fleet needs a lot of energy blocks, and the transport ship has to carry it back and forth several times, so the fleet stopped to rest in the outer layer of the Berwick Galaxy.
After receiving Yunyi and Xu Tianyuan's proposal to go to Berwick Star, Lin Yiqing and Yang Tiexin did not stop them, but asked them to be careful and sent 20 soldiers to protect their safety.
"Ha ha, these two young people have been on the boat for half a month. It seems that they are suffothed. It's right to go out and relax." After the two left, Lin Yiqing, the commander of the 21st Fleet, said to Yang Tiexin at the other end of the video with a smile.
Yang Tiexin shook his head and said, "Although Yunyi and Xu Tianyuan are young, they are not easy-working people, and they will not even stick to half a month of space life. I guess they should have something to deal with.
Lin Yiqing and Yang Tiexin are both old military elders. Lin Yiqing is a side branch of the Lin family, and Yang Tiexin is a member of the Yang family. They are loyal to Lin Jiaoyang. Although they have a relationship with Lin Jiaoyang, they all started from the bottom of the army and climbed up step by step, and were deeply loved by fleet officers and soldiers. In addition, the two also participated in several battles with the new United States, especially in the fifth battle of the unicorn fortress. Yang Tiexin rushed into the fortress with Lin Moxue's mother, the sister of Chu Qingyun, the emperor of the Chu and Tang dynasties, and finally suffered serious injuries. Although he joined the army more than ten years later than Lin Yiqing, now The military ranks of the two are the same.
Although the age difference is more than ten years, it does not prevent the two from getting on good terms and often meet in private. Yang Tiexin's daughter married Lin Yiqing's son and became a son-in-law. In this way, the relationship is better.
"Lao Yang, what do you mean by the order given to us by the marshal? Why do you and I listen more to their proposals in terms of war? Lin Yiqing was a little confused when he thought of Lin Jiaoyang's advice when he set out. These two are young, and Xu Tianyuan has become the chief of staff of the fleet with the rank of associate general. You should know that his son is more than ten or twenty years older than Xu Tianyuan, and now he is only a colonel. As for the Yunyi, as a loyal subordinate of Lin Jiaoyang, Lin Yiqing also knows some inside stories. It is said that he was for Lin Moxue in those years. Now the relationship between the two is very good, and it is estimated that he will become Lin Jiaoyang's son-in-law in the future.
But in this way, Lin Yiqing has more doubts. If the marshal is paving the way for Yunyi, why not let him join the army? If you don't join the army, even if you have great credit, the empire will only provide some material rewards and give you a title at most. Even so, the relevant personnel will be held responsible for why a civilian appears in the military fleet.
Yang Tiexin smiled and said, "I said Lao Lin, why do you think so much? Since the marshal has said something, let's just do it."
Hearing what he said, Lin Yiqing also laughed and said, "Indeed, why do I think so much? Speaking of which, Xu Tianyuan is really a military genius and made a lot of good suggestions. Do you know? I have had more than a dozen virtual battles with him, and the chance of winning is no more than 20%. I just don't know if Yunyi also has military talent..."
"Oh, you can't even beat it?" Yang Tiexin was a little surprised. He knew Lin Yiqing's command level very well, and there were few people in Chutang who could defeat him. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the marshal really sent us a genius this time. I said Lao Lin, how about giving up Xu Tianyuan to me?"
"Don't even think about it!"
"Xiaoyang, I gave my daughter to your son, and I can't ask you to send a chief of staff."
"Can that compare? Daughter, as long as you have the ability, you can give birth to several. Genius commanders are rare in the world..."
Hearing Lin Yiqing's words, Yang Tiexin is a little moved. If he still has a daughter, he might as well marry this young man named Xu Tianyuan. With the genius command ability and the support of a person like a marshal, it is foreseeable that this person's future achievements will definitely be higher than his own. However, she is only a daughter and has married Lin Yiqing's son.
After thinking about it, Yang Tiexin had an idea. The Yueer girl of the old three family is almost old enough to talk about marriage. It's better to match...
***
In the cosmic port of Berwick, hundreds of transport ships with military marks entered the port. The long-awaited workers immediately connected the transmission channel with the ship, and a large amount of material resources were continuously sent into the cabin. Because of the large amount of materials, these transport ships have to travel back and forth several times. In order to seize the time, they inform the port in advance to prepare, and the ships begin to load as soon as they enter the port.
Two young men in military uniform walked down from a transport ship. Despite their young appearance and the epaulettes on their shoulders, they frightened the people who saw them. On the epaulette, two V-shaped warships are decorated at one end, and in the center is a shining Venus. This is the rank of brigadier general of the Lichma Federation. Berwick has no garrison, only two ordinary military academies and recruitment offices. There are no brigadier general-level soldiers at all, so people who see them can't help but look at them a few more.
Xu Tianyuan was a little embarrassed by the people around him and complained, "Boss, just go shopping and wear a casual suit. Why do you have to wear a military uniform?"
Yunyi had nothing and smiled and said, "Let them see if they want to see it. You won't be seen. Maybe there are beautiful little girls attracted by you and fall under your white military uniform."
Hearing what he said, Xu Tianyuan was not very interested. Speaking of which, when he was at the Imperial Military Academy, he not only had excellent grades, but also had a tall figure, often with a faint smile on his face. In addition to being a civilian, he often attracted the attention of girls.
Seeing that this move did not work, Yunyi touched his nose and whispered, "Actually, I want to see what the people in the rear of the Federation think of soldiers. From their attitude, it is not difficult to analyze the real situation of the Federation.
Xu Tianyuan suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up to Yunyi. Then the two took a walk and casually walked around the cosmic port. Few tourists and businessmen were found in the cosmic port, and most of them were workers in the port loading and unloading various war materials. It seems that the rear of the Federation was also seriously affected by the war.
Unconsciously, the two came to the entrance of the rail elevator. With a little hesitation, Yunyi chose the passage of the city where he lived with Zhao Xiyue and entered the elevator. At the same time, 20 soldiers in casual clothes who were ordered to protect them also followed, sat down in the corner of the elevator with a cold face and did not disturb them.
In this regard, Yunyi and Xu Tianyuan can only pretend not to see it.
The elevator is sent every half an hour. After a while, the elevator starts slowly, and then enters a high-speed descent state. About ten minutes later, it arrives at the ground city.
Revisiting this city, Yunyi feels like a different world.
Four years have not changed the city much. Walking on the street, Yunyi saw many buildings in his memory. At that time, Zhao Xiyue had just left the closed palace and was very curious about everything. She let Yunyi take her shopping every day, so Yunyi's memory of the city was still very clear.
However, many shops on the street are closed, and even if a few are occasionally open, they are still open. However, some stores selling food, medicine and small arms are booming, and even some stores have long queues.
From time to time, some suspended vehicles with police signs can be seen flying slowly, monitoring pedestrians on the street.
Although it is in the morning, there are not many pedestrians or suspended cars. Almost everyone comes and goes in a hurry, and a trace of worry can be seen on their faces. When they saw two young men in military uniform, they just showed a slight surprise, but they were curious about why soldiers appeared here without much attention.
Yun Yi laughed softly and said, "It seems that everyone's confidence in the government and the military is not very high."
Xu Tianyuan nodded with approval, pointed to the recruitment advertisements that were constantly playing on a building not far away, and said, "On the way, I have seen a lot of recruitment advertisements, and the publicity is also very exciting. But when I passed by the recruitment point just now, I took a look, and there were only a handful of people who signed up.
"Government's inaction, corruption, and struggle for power and profit often cause the country to prosper on the surface. In fact, it has long been a mess inside. Only under the pressure of external forces can these contradictions emerge. The situation of the Lichma Federation is now very dangerous. Those former officials have already made a lot of money. As soon as they saw that something was wrong, they went to foreign countries and left the whole mess to the people. If the current government is walking on thin ice, if a problem is not dealt with well, it will face the collapse of the whole country.
Yunyi said as he walked, "In this case, the stability of the country is more important than anything else. As long as the people have not rebelled, even if the country does not have a penny of tax, it can still survive for a period of time with years of accumulation. The key is that if the government wants to continue to maintain the stability of the people, it must win a battle. So I dare to say that as long as we get to the front line, we will definitely participate in a big war in less than a week.
Listening to Yunyi's words, Xu Tianyuan silently thought, if such a thing happened to Chu Tang, how should he face it? But immediately, he left the problem behind. With the strength of Chu Tang, which country can shake her foundation?
The two talked while walking. Unconsciously, a long time had passed and they felt a little hungry. Coincidentally, he came to the door of an extremely luxuriously decorated hotel. Yunyi glanced at the sign of the hotel and remembered that it was a very famous hotel chain in the Lichma Federation, which was specially opened to some senior officials and nobles and foreign tourists.
"Let's have lunch here. Lichma's food is still very good."
Xu Tianyuan nodded, and the two walked to the door of the hotel.
When he first entered the door, Yunyi looked back and saw the soldiers wandering at the door of the hotel at a loss. He laughed and said, "Come in and eat together. Don't worry, it's my treat. I won't tell you the commander.
The soldiers hesitated for a moment and followed in with a smile. Although Chu Tang's soldiers' salary is not low, they can't afford this level of hotel consumption. Since there is a treat, they will not be polite, not to mention that everyone is about the same age and there is not much estrangement.
However, they did not foolishly run to squeeze a table with Yunyi and Xu Tianyuan, but sat together in the lobby of the hotel restaurant and ordered some cheap food without disturbing them.
The environment of the restaurant is quite good. Although it is lunch time, there are not many guests in the restaurant because of the war. Yunyi and Xu Tianyuan found a table by the window and sat down and casually ordered some famous local dishes.
Waiting for the time to be served, Xu Tianyuan asked about the situation of the Federation. The two analyzed what they had seen and heard along the way, and also got a lot of useful information.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound from a box not far from Yunyi in the restaurant, followed by the sound of broken glass. Then a young woman angrily opened the door of the private room and came out. Her hair was a little scattered, obviously extremely angry. Behind her, two frivolous men also came out of the box and stopped the girl one after the other, laughing with their mouths.
At the same time, a man who looked as old as 20 or 30 slowly came out of the private room and looked at the two frivolous men with a little panic on his face. He wanted to stop them, but he was afraid to move forward.
"Please get out of the way, or I will call the police!" The woman shouted coldly. If you look carefully, her temperament is extraordinary. Obviously, she has been in the upper position for a long time.
Yunyi was talking to Xu Tianyuan. Hearing the sound, the two turned their heads at the same time.
Under this look, Yunyi's eyes suddenly widened, stared at the woman carefully, and said in surprise, "Is it her? I didn't expect to meet here..."
