Chapter 191 Morning Star
"It's not just a big trouble." Marion smiled bitterly, "Maybe my name will be included in the blacklist of the Charles Federation in the future, and of course, those eleven guys will probably part ways with me."
"So serious." Tang Fang's heart was trembling, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes looking at Marion. In order to make good friends with him or repay his kindness, the sacrifice made by the old Viking was too great.
Alas, my ability is still insufficient. If there are battle patrols, insect swarms, or even the Golden Fleet, why should they wander? As long as they follow their butts, why should they fear the Empire fleet and the Charles Federation?
"You don't have to feel guilty." As I saw the apology in Tang Fang's eyes, Marion smiled and said, "We all owe you a life, and we couldn't repay you. Kill Gables and break away from the supervision of the Charles Federation. Actually, I wanted to do this for a long time, but I just couldn't make up my mind."
"I believe you can see that in the eyes of the Charles Federation, the Garcia Rebel Army is just a group of cannon fodder that can be given up at any time. The companions threw blood and sacrificed their lives for what? There was nothing. In the eyes of the Charles people, the rebel army was just a tool. In the eyes of the Charles people, we were used to drag the empire back. If the two sides finally stopped their war and stopped fighting, I was afraid that those hypocritical and cunning politicians would use us as bargaining weights in exchange for certain benefits."
"For more than 20 years, I have watched those young people who pursue dignity and freedom continue to die in the battlefield and die in the starry sky. Their struggles and their sacrifices are just for the Charles Federation. I don't want to continue watching such a scene. Fighting with tigers is definitely not our way out."
Tang Fang was silent for a while before nodding: "I hope we will have a day to meet again in the future. Perhaps, at that time, you no longer need to wander around..."
"I believe there will be such a day." Marion stared at Tang Fang's side face reflected on the window and said seriously.
"By the way. I'm very curious, how did your fleet avoid the periphery of the Aslam star system?" Tang Fang's eyes paused on several old warships at the dock and suddenly asked.
The old Viking winked at him and kept him in a slight smile: "You will know tomorrow."
...
The next day at 8:00, after eating the Chinese breakfast prepared by the fleet chef for him, Tang Fang took Aros and Hausen to the Xinggang Command Center, and had a brief conversation with Lieutenant General Nord. Marion arrived, and then walked out of the command center with the three of them and took the tram to the military port dock area.
Get off in Area A, Nord led several people into a pier connecting passage next to a berth.
"Look, this is the spaceship I prepared for you." Old Viking pointed out the window at a 200-meter-long, narrow in front and wide in the back. The tail was trident-shaped, and the hull was equipped with a group of three small auxiliary propellers under the belly of the hull: "This is a Charles Federation's latest lightning python-class destroyer. Each string has a set of double-orbit cannons. The tail wing is equipped with a deep space torpedo launch system, and there is a plum-shaped array of rapid cannons distributed under the hull."
"Electromagnetic force field generator. Ship-based optical quantum radar, central computer, fire-controlled radar array, liftable solar panels, zero-prime engine with a warp speed level of 6.5, intelligent navigation module, fully automatic drone takeoff and landing facilities..."
"This... is too expensive. I only need a frigate." Tang Fang didn't expect that the old Viking would directly give him a newest destroyer from the Charles Federation. In fact, this operation only requires a small frigate with warp speed jumping ability, or even a cosmic shuttle.
Nord smiled and said, "Is this expensive? If it weren't for Virginia and I stopped you, the general would have wanted to send you a cruiser. Considering that you were going to the empire's hinterland, the cruiser was too big and a bit too silly, I decided to send this "Morning Star" to you through multiple considerations."
Outside the window, the two-stringed starlights of the battleship were painted with silver glow under the illumination of the searchlights of the Star Harbor.
"Too silly?" Tang Fang's mouth twitched a few times: "Isn't this arrogance wandering in the heart of the empire in a Charles Federation warship?"
Nord and Marion looked at each other after hearing this, and they all smiled slightly. Old Viking ignored his words and pointed to the connecting cabin at the end of the pier and corridor: "Let's go, go inside and take a look."
"It's mysterious." Tang Fang muttered, waved to the two people behind him, and followed Nord towards the "Morning Star".
"Sher", with a gust of air flow, the safety compartment behind him closed, and the three of them entered the inside of the ship. Some staff members saw Marion coming, shouted "General" and then stopped to salute.
When it was Tang Fang's turn, they changed their name and used the phrase "captain". This made him, who had been able to experience space travel in electronic games for more than 20 years, burst into vanity and truly gained a captain's addiction.
"There is the power cabin behind, the front of the left is the lookout deck, and the crew rest area on the right is the arsenal, the elevator..." As he walked forward, Nord introduced the various areas of the warship.
About 5 minutes later, several people took an elevator and came up to the bridge. As soon as the cabin door opened, a female crew member saw Tang Fang behind Marion and immediately shouted to more than 20 operators of the bridge: "Captain is here."
When everyone heard this, they stood up and looked back. Tang Fang was stunned when he saw the faces of several of them: "Grant, Walton, Joy, Nehmaia, why are you all here?" Then, he saw Churchill, who was affiliated with the DeRosnier Army Port, with black hair on his chest, in front of the battleship defense equipment console.
Grant walked up and smiled: "Why am I here? You only have three of you in such a large destroyer. How do you drive? You know, I am a person with a 'driver'."
Tang Fang turned his head and looked at Marion. Seeing that he was nodding to him with a smile, he felt warm and said, "Old man, thank you."
Grant said it right. Although there are a large number of machine gun soldiers and nurses in the system space, the ship equipment of the StarCraft humans is obviously very different from the Charles Federation warships. It is definitely not possible to achieve the technology of driving the "Morning Star" overnight. Marion did this very clearly, just to let Grant and others follow him.
When making a choice between a group of strange crew members and acquaintances, I believe that few people will choose the former. With Grant and others in their assistance, their position on the ship will be more stable and the cohesion of the crew will be stronger.
"They all follow you voluntarily, I'm just following the public opinion." Marion stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Next, Tang Fang exchanged a few greetings with Nehmaia, Walton and others. Lieutenant General Nord walked up and said, "Aren't you worried that the warship is too silly? Come on, I'll show you a good thing."
