Chapter 1012： Victory... actually very sad

Since the outbreak of the war, the Star Alliance Navy has been working hard from top to bottom, but due to the large gap in actual combat experience, they suffered one defeat after another, and eventually even the Karilan star system was lost. They longed for victory from the bottom of their hearts, hoping to release their long-repressed feelings through a victory. Now...this moment has finally come. Mackintosh and his fleet are like a dog with discounted hind legs, and fled back to the rear in an embarrassing manner.

"Thank God." Someone prayed devoutly, kissing the dog tag on the palm of their hand with their lips, as if it was not a small piece of iron, but a sacred cross of spirit and faith.

Some atheists sneered at this, "You should thank Captain Tang from Dillard, not a vain god."

The man opened his eyes and looked at him with an expression of approval, and said piously: "Lord, thank you for bringing Tang Fang to the Star Alliance, thank you for bringing him to us... praise your kindness, Praise you for your greatness."

The face of the atheist is a bit ugly: "..."

Many people burst into tears, for the dead, for the living, for the Star Alliance, for the victory...

There were also many cheerful guys who tried to send their thanks to the Seraph, but they were stopped by their superiors.

After Tang Fang put away the air force of the three races, he changed from a participant to a spectator, sitting in the cockpit of the Seraph and watching the Star Alliance navy regain the lost ground, drove the Monya naval battleship out of the Rutonado star system, and regained the belonging Their front.

Jean Johnson, Wahid Kegman, and others sent a communication request, inviting him to the No. 2 military port for an interview. He said that "Military affairs are important. Your Commander first arranges everything properly. The two sides will meet again not too late, anyway. It's over, and there is a lot of time."

In fact, he did not do this out of good intentions, as Jean Johnson and others thought. The reason that prompted Captain Tang to do this was that the conflict between Cathy and Freya finally broke out.

When the two met for the first time, they looked at each other uncomfortably. Cathy hates the strong ypsilon breath on Xiao Nizi, but Xiao Nizi’s thoughts are even more exotic-Tang Fang has her "power bank", she will never allow that The guy who looks like a large particle massage bang grabs his job. Also, the Seraph belonged to her, just like Tang Fang, she would never allow the female Elant to get involved.

Tang Lin didn't expect Cathy to take advantage of her spoiled kung fu in Tang Fang's arms and use the Seraph to blow up several Monya naval battleships. Xiao Nizi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her hair was exploded. .

Not only did he look stunned, but Captain Tang's expression was also very exciting, as if he had never expected Xiao Nizi's reaction to be so intense.

Zhou Ai and Claire didn't fight because of their boyfriend, but Miss Freya was threatened because of the position of the "power bank" and showed deep hostility towards Cathy. If it wasn't for Tang Fang to pinch her shoulder strap, I'm afraid I've already rushed over and fought with Cathy.

Tang Fang didn't want outsiders to know about Cathy's existence for the time being, and he didn't want others to see Miss Freya fighting with the National People's Congress because of the "power bank" issue, so he refused Jean Johnson and others' requests. When the Star Alliance Navy pursued the Munya ship, he was dealing with the civil strife, thinking that this kind of thing was more tiring than fighting with Mackintosh's fleet.

Tang Lin’s temperament is a bit boring, but not stupid. It’s better to hand it over to his eldest brother if he knows this bad thing. To avoid embarrassment, he found an excuse to leave the Seraph and took the shuttle to the airspace where the flagship of the 79th Fleet was located. Ready to go to Dalton Evelyn to talk about life, talk about ideals, and ask for a cup of tea by the way... It is said that the old guy is drinking tea and tasting tea, and he is quite accomplished.

I don’t know how long it has been, until Captain Tang fed the little girl with something unique to boys, and vowed to guarantee that she was his only and favorite power bank, Miss Freya was like a cat filling her belly. Be quiet and stop worrying about Cathy's threat.

After fixing the fire in the backyard, he turned his attention to the starry sky battlefield again, and found that the Star Alliance’s tugboats and engineering ships were cleaning up large pieces of debris scattered in space. Many medical boats entered and exited from the damaged battleship port, and battle ships were carrying out captive containment and patrols. The task is to stabilize the situation and defend against possible dangers.

It was learned that Jean Johnson and others had not finished the military affairs at hand, only the commander of the 79th Fleet Dalton Evelyn was not appointed and was receiving Tang Lin. So I decided to go to Military Port No. 2 to meet this old friend.

When the Morningstar first arrived in the Tianchao region, there was friction between the Jakarta Burr star system and the local government. Dalton Evelyn, as the commander of the garrison navy, did not agree to Clement's request to open fire, avoiding a major battle. , And joined the 79th Fleet after the conflict between the Star Alliance and Monya and Sulu, and came to the forefront of the war to carry out the patriotic will to the end.

Tang Fang has admiration for this kind of character, let alone an old friend, so he is naturally happy to meet and chat.

At his command, the Seraph turned slowly and flew to the airspace where the No. 2 military port was located.

Because it is related to the ownership of Rutonado's star system, the fierceness of this war is extremely high, and the void is filled with many tiny debris, and even frozen human corpses. The Rutonado Star System originally had 5 military ports. After this battle, now only 3 are still operational. The nearby battleship docks were dismembered by artillery fire and lost their effectiveness, so most of the Star Alliance naval warships can only be parked in In space, only a few severely damaged ships were allowed to enter the military port for repairs.

Seraph certainly would not be bound by this rule, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he told Cathy to wait on the ship, and he took Freya to take the Protoss transport plane to the entrance of the No. 2 military port.

After a while, the transport plane flew into the military port and landed on the tarmac that had just been emptied. The two of them walked off the cabin and found that Dalton was not waiting for them outside. They asked the officer who came to pick up the plane. I can't get away because of something. I hope he and Miss Freya will forgive me.

Naturally, Tang Fang would not be upset about such trivial matters. He waved his hand gently, signaled that he didn't care, and told the pick-up officer to take him to the place where Dalton and Tang Lin were. The pick-up officer hesitated, nodded, and invited the two to get on a maglev vehicle and set off toward the military port.

In fact, the place where Dalton and Tang Lin are located is not far from the apron, and it only takes a few minutes. Until the maglev car stopped in the parking area, the two got out of the car and saw the scene ahead. He didn't know why the pick-up officer hesitated and what was more important than Captain Tang, so that Dalton dared to neglect himself.

It was a very painful place, a depressing scene. In the not-wide hall, there were a dozen Star Alliance soldiers in military uniforms, white gloves and long guns standing side by side. They did not squint and looked forward quietly. An officer holding the flag of the Star Alliance stood on the right side of the hall. Dalton stood in front of the soldiers with his right hand on his forehead and saluted the soldiers coming from the opposite passage.

As a lieutenant general, he certainly did not salute the first-class soldiers, but the fallen soldiers they carried.

The four first-class soldiers carrying the stretcher walked slowly across the area where the gunmen were, and walked to Dalton. At this moment, he raised his hand, motioned them to pause, tidy up his cap and clothing to show respect, and walked to the stretcher.

The fallen soldier was covered with the National Flag of the Star Alliance, which was very new and spotless, with an elegant flower on it.

Dalton stretched out a slightly rough hand, squeezed the corner of the national flag, and slowly raised it, revealing the pale face of the fallen soldier, as well as brand new uniforms.

"James...thank you for your contribution to this country, and hope you can live a peaceful life in another world."

After speaking, he took off the badge representing the Medal of Loyalty and Bravery on his chest, and gently pinned it on the uniform of the fallen soldier. "These honors are earned by you with your lives... You are more qualified to wear them than I am. ."

After speaking these words in a very low voice, he re-covered the flag, stepped back two steps, saluted again, and watched the 4 first-class soldiers carry the stretcher into the connecting passage on the other side. At the end is a ship dedicated to transporting the remains of soldiers, which will send them away from the front line and return to the place where they grew up, often accompanied by green hills and green grass.

Tang Fang noticed that there were already a lot of vacancies in his honor list, and it was not the first time he did this.

Tang Lin stood not far from the hall, saw Tang Fang approaching, greeted him in a low voice, and greeted him, "I really regret coming over with him. If I know this is the case, I might as well stay in the room and continue drinking tea."

Although he pretended to be calm and used a somewhat self-deprecating tone to explain his unwise behavior, his red eyes still betrayed his mood at this moment.

"Actually... this is also a cup of tea, but it's a bit bitter." Tang Fang stared at Dalton's back for a while, without asking the pick-up officer to remind him, he chose to leave here and go to the lounge arranged by the military. Wait a moment.

Leaving the place where the remains of the fallen soldiers were transported, they returned to the lounge where Tanglin and Dalton had stayed under the leadership of the pick-up officer. Sure enough, they saw teacups, teapots, tea washers, tea trays, tea mats, etc. on the table. The utensils needed to make Kung Fu tea.

The tea soup in the cup has been drunk, the spout is still steaming with hot smoke, and there is a light tea fragrance coming with the wind, diluting the heaviness and sadness that permeates the heart, and people have a feeling of returning to peace.

The pick-up officer looked at the tea set on the table and was embarrassed, because these things were only used by Dalton, and no one else could get them. So he hesitated in preparing coffee or continuing to make tea, not knowing how to deal with the three of Tang Fang, so as not to neglect the VIPs who helped them to win.

Regarding the cute pick-up officer, Tang Fang smiled and shook his head, pointed to the tea set on the table, and said, “Don’t bother, I can do it myself. The old saying goes well, I haven’t eaten pork, I haven’t watched it. Have you ever run over a pig..."

The pick-up officer didn't know what the second half of the sentence meant, but he understood the first half and couldn't help cursing himself for being a fool. As a descendant of the Han nationality, Captain Tang didn’t know much about drinking tea. It’s just that it’s a bit rude to let VIPs cook and drink. Unfortunately, he really didn’t understand this, so he could only nod his head and say something sorry. , Sat down in the chair by the door, accompanied the two to say something about the battle just now.

This officer, who was a few years older than Tang Fang, was obviously not a quiet person. As he spoke, he began to talk endlessly, from thanking Tang Fang for his help to the Star Alliance Navy, to those golden flying swallows and suspected Ypsilon The shockingly powerful combat power of the battleship, and the insults of the Monya Navy to the Star Alliance Navy in these days... the brains are pouring out like a bamboo tube.

Tang Lin's brain hurt when he heard it, and he thought that this guy was just pretending to be mature and stable. It turned out that there was a burning heart under his serious appearance, and one person actually said that he and the eldest brother were both.

Just when the officer took out the little notebook in his pocket and was about to ask Captain Tang for a few autographs as a gift for his son and his kind soldiers, the appearance of Dalton Evelyn interrupted his movements, like a Chunzhu, whose roots were suddenly bent and straight, suddenly became sitting upright, and the lively expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by a stern smile.

Tang Lin was stunned, and Tang Fang was also stunned, thinking that if this guy went to act, he might be able to become a bit famous and serve as a soldier...It's really shameful, because he can follow a calm and mature person like Dalton. By my side, I was not driven crazy by that serious atmosphere.

As a respect for the elderly and the landlord, the two got off their seats and smiled as Dalton walked slowly outside the door.

"I am very sorry for not being able to be there in person to meet him." The first sentence of Mr. Lieutenant General when he walked into the room was to apologize for being slow to Tang Fang.

Tang Fang didn’t care what he said his eyes fell on the left chest of the uniform, where there should have been a matrix of honor lists with different colors and patterns, but now it’s empty, for a senior military general. In other words, I always feel that something is missing, very awkward.

The pick-up officer secretly stuffed the booklet held in his palm into his trouser pocket, first saluted Dalton, and then owed the two of them politely, and turned around to leave the room.

"Really an old guy who can buy people's hearts." Tang Fang's words are undeniable.

However, Dalton Evelyn didn’t care. He just shook his head and smiled bitterly. "You saw it all. I just hope to face their sacrifice with the utmost respect... You know, as It is a desperate thing for an old man to see off those young people who should be swaying their youth and sweat in the sun... They are not machines, not hard rocks, but once incomparably bright and lively lives. At this moment , But turned into a cold corpse without breathing and heat... Many times, I refuse to admit this cruel reality, and I cannot even forgive myself.

I can see that the incident just touched him a lot. Although the surface was serious and his eyes were calm, the bitter water in his heart, like a gurgling spring, kept arching upwards. (To be continued.)
