As soon as Audrey's words fell, the report of the observer in the main control room of the [Bo Blue Rose] rang out: "Report Captain, the Space Fluctuation Scanner captured two small ships jumping Waves, azimuth 127o1-1613, 12699-1642. ”"Our guests are here!"
Chekov smiled, pressed the communicator button on the command platform, and ordered: "The Birchet Rose, second level combat readiness, radar capture signal, tracking and locking."
The left rudder is 52 moments, the front car has eight thrusts, and the starboard side of the No. 2, No. 4, No. 6, No. 8, No. 10 turret is filled with energy, ready to meet the enemy!
”At Chekov's command, the entire battleship quickly entered the operational state.The officers and men were busy in an intense and orderly manner in accordance with the procedures they had already familiarized themselves with for battle......
Closing the living quarters, lowering the energy supply of the living system, rotating turret activation, energy filling, electronic locking device to activate capture......
From the [Audrey], on the silver-white destroyer's body, the blue energy shield flashed, and the color became darker and darker......
The ship's main thruster jets were all open, and the huge jet stream resembled a long blue tail.The iron-gray armor that was distributed around the hull slowly closed, and the energy cannon barrel had extended out of the turret, spinning in circles under the synchronous guidance of the locking radar......
It was as if the entire battleship had suddenly turned into a sabre-rattling hedgehog.Speaking of which, the crew of the Audrey has also seen all kinds of majestic warships owned by these forces in Freeport, where major mercenary legions, pirate groups, and giant corporate security fleets gather.However, most of those battleships are old warships that have been eliminated.There are many cruisers, battleships, and the like, which are even bought with scrap iron skeleton shells, and converted from civilian equipment or small military equipment obtained from some special channels.This is the first time that you have seen a new destroyer complete its combat readiness like this.For a while, the exclamations were endless.While watching, there are also many discussions.It is said that the situation in Salga is turbulent now, especially in the two star fields of the relatively backward Southern Alliance, and several major military regions have long been poor and almost bankrupt!
There are those who have successfully caught up with the line, and they have already made a lot of good things out of the army.If you have the chance, you can get one or two destroyers......
Dry smuggling couldn't be more suitable!
Look at this destroyer, how awesome!
…… Hey, here it is.I was very proud when I bullied our merchant ships, and I don't know what these little yellowbeards would look like when they jumped out and saw a destroyer in front of them......
If it were me, I would have lost my voice and cried!
Amid the crew's misty longing and schadenfreude, two pirate raiders converted from Tissot civilian frigates emerged in the airspace of the jump point.The battle ended quickly......
In fact, from the time the two pirate high marauders jumped out of the jump point to the time they gave the signal to surrender, neither side fired a single shot.It was a bloodless skirmish.As long as the pirates are not idiots, this battle cannot be fought, and the strength is too disproportionate!
You know, in order to adapt to the pirate tactics of can't beat and run, and in order to bite the merchant ships that are now getting faster and faster, the Marauder sacrificed armor and energy shields, and distributed most of the energy power to three huge thrusters.Therefore, the plundership is born to feed on degrees!
As long as it can move at full strength, it would be difficult for a normal energy cannon to even lock onto it, let alone hit it in the open universe!
However, once the plundership loses its degree advantage, then its strength will immediately drop by 90 percent.And this time, two poor pirate marauders, apparently kicked to the iron plate.The plundership without the electronic camouflage system had already been captured by the [Berlan Rose] before it completed the space jump.One can imagine how shocked the pirates were when they saw a military destroyer faster than a Marauder in the distorted space, aiming more than a dozen rotating turrets and 5oo mm secondary guns at them!
The pirates couldn't think of anything else they could do with their two Marauder ships that hadn't started their engines yet, other than surrender.Perhaps the most frustrating of these is Barbarossa, the leader of the Redbeard Pirates.Hayreddin.This pirate leader, who inherited the name of the redbeard pirate from the ancient earth era and has been crisscrossing the Golden Triangle between Desik, Gachalin and the Tatanian Business Alliance for nearly twenty years, never dreamed that he would be planted in such a place!
If it weren't for the news of the [Audrey]......
If it weren't for the fact that he was annoyed and angry that he failed to catch this damn smuggling ship several times, he personally led the ambush himself......
If it weren't for the main force of the pirate group raiding another star field, they wouldn't have returned......
If not to meet a destroyer that is faster than a plundership......
If it weren't for the jump point, the ship's engine would still start......
Restraining the remorse in her heart, Barbarossa.Dressed in an oil-stained pirate suit, Hayreddin stood quietly in the middle of a group of dejected-looking pirates, his eyelids drooping as Huck, the leader of the plundering group, nodded and stood at the front, answering questions from the heavily armed Leray soldiers.Now, all the pirates have gathered in the escape area according to the orders of the Lelei people.A total of sixty-one pirates, armed to the teeth, were pointed at by dozens of Lelei soldiers armed to the teeth with energy guns, standing in place in an orderly manner, not daring to take a breath of air.The surrender was an order given by Barbarossa himself.There's no way around it, he's a pirate, not an idiot.In the pirate world of the jungle, everyone is an outlaw, and at the same time, everyone knows the rules better......
Under absolute force, any resistance is futile!
The weak obey the strong, that's what pirates are all about.In a life of plundering, if someone violates this rule, they don't care how many people they kill.And again, they are bound by this rule.It is precisely because there are more people killed that they actually understand this truth better.Barbarossa was a notoriously ruthless person.Be ruthless to your opponents, be ruthless to your prey, be ruthless to your subordinates, and be ruthless to yourself.It was precisely because of his ferocity, the Redbeard Pirate Regiment, that they were able to dominate the Golden Triangle between Gacharin, Desik and the Tatanian Business Alliance for nearly two decades.The rebels who died at the hands of the Redbeard Pirates are unknown.In the Golden Triangle, every merchant ship or smuggling ship knows that if you encounter a group of redbeard pirates, it is best to stop and surrender without absolute certainty of escape.As long as pirates don't fancy your ship, as long as you don't provoke them.After getting enough money, they usually don't rush to kill.After all, these merchant ships are the basis of their survival, and smart pirates will not do anything about fishing in the dry waters.Now, the pirates only hope that these Lerays are as "reasonable" as themselves.A military destroyer, why should it have trouble with some pirates who didn't provoke it?
From the inside, Barbarossa wasn't too frightened.This Lelei battleship is not a pirate.They don't do anything to kill people without trial.The Redbeard Pirate Regiment, although it has also plundered Lelei's merchant ships countless times, has never attacked Lelei's military logistics ships.After the outbreak of the war, many pirate groups in the southeast star field grew rapidly with the support of some countries, and they frequently robbed military logistics ships and destroyed supply routes.They thought that the forces behind them could help them avoid all the blows.But Barbarossa stayed away from the emissaries who came to contact him and tried to buy off the Redbeard Pirates.It's not that he's cowardly, but he understands that once he is caught up between the two major forces, no matter what the final result is, the pirates who are cannon fodder will not end well!
Therefore, although the Redbeard Pirate Regiment kills people and goods, it has no direct conflict with the political axe of the Lelei military.In this war years, there are very few pirate groups that can be as pure as the Redbeard Pirate Regiment and do not participate in any power game."
As long as you don't reveal your identity, you can always pass this hurdle."
Barbarossa thought to herself and buried her head even lower.In this world, in fact, few people have seen Barbarossa's true appearance.The leader of the Redbeard Pirates doesn't necessarily have a big red beard.Nearly twenty years in the Golden Triangle Star Field does not mean that Barbarossa should be how old she should be.In fact, Barbarossa is just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who can't be found in the crowd."
Andre ......" in front of a list of pirates lined up in the aisle with a list, one location after another.Beside him, a fat man in ordinary clothes peered into the list in the sergeant's hand as he blew his beard and glared at the pirate he had named."
Juan......"
"I am.""
Frank......"
"Here!""
Alda......"
Sergeant Lere walked up to Barbarossa."
Here!"
Barbarossa humbled humbly.The sergeant glanced at the information and photos on the electronic folder, looked Barbarossa up and down, and turned his head to look at the next one: "Barbarok ......"
"Wait......"
Just when Barbarossa thought he had passed the customs, the fat man walking beside the sergeant suddenly called out to the sergeant and reached out to take the list in the sergeant's hand......
"Alda......"
The fat man looked at the list, and then looked up at Barbarossa with interest, his eyes were blazing: "Are you a mechanic?"
”"Yes, sir."

Barbarossa's black and dirty hands rubbed against the mechanic's suit, his eyes showed appropriate dazedness and horror, and his ordinary face was even more honest and humble: "I'm in charge of engine maintenance in the power compartment. ”"What's wrong?"
The sergeant asked the fat man in a whisper as he looked at Barbarossa again.After watching it for a long time, the sergeant didn't see any problems.This Alda, who had just been named, was obviously an inferior member of the Kolai clan.Of the people who are less than a light-year away from the Kentai, Alda is the most common name.And the man in front of him with a square and honest face is in line with the image of a mechanic.Neither from him nor from his information, the sergeant felt that there was anything to be doubted."
If I'm not mistaken......" the fat man raised his chin: "This so-called Mr.
Alda is the leader of the Redbeard Pirate Regiment, Barbarossa, Hayreddin!"
”As soon as these words came out, everyone froze."
You mean......" the sergeant stammered, "This guy is the leader of the Redbeard Pirates?"
”"Sir......"
Barbarossa looked a little overwhelmed and a little dazed: "You are mistaken, my name is Alda, and I am a repairman on the ship. ”"Don't pretend!"
The fat man said categorically: "Do you know, Captain Barbarossa, under the scanting of my eyes like a torch, you have revealed at least four flaws!"
”"Flaws?"
Barbarossa's expression looked confused: "What flaw?"
You've confused me, I really don't ......"
"Don't admit it?
Then I'll tell you how I recognized you!
”The fat man patted Barbarossa on the shoulder, interrupted his defense, and said with a smile: "First of all, the original authorized number of these two frigates was a total of sixty people, and on this ship, there is one more.On a combat ship with a living cabin and many equipment fixed according to the number of people carried, it is really not suitable to clean up one more person......
"Barbarossa's heart was a little cold, what the fat man said was indeed a flaw, when he got on the ship, he didn't think about how long he wanted to stay on the ship, and this aspect was ignored by himself.There is an extra person on a strictly equipped combat ship, and there is no need to ask, this person's identity must be very special."
Secondly......" the fat man cleared his throat and said, "As the only Kolai on these two ships, it is difficult for your appearance and name to be separated from the name Barbarossa.In the ancient Earth era, the name of the red-bearded pirate Barbarossa is familiar to many people.Everyone naturally knows that this is an ancient earth Turk with the same ancestors as your Kolai people!
”Barbarossa could only smile wryly.If that was a reason, he really wanted to hear what the fat man's other two reasons were."
Third!"
The fat man pointed to Barbarossa's hand and smiled, "If you change your identity, maybe I'm not so sure."
However, you disguised yourself as a mechanic, and you made a mistake.The mechanic's hands, because of the special surname of the work, the oil stains on the hands are not camouflaged by rolling their hands in the waste oil twice.The bones, skin, textures and even the degree of oil erosion are completely different from your hands!
”As he spoke, the fat man pulled the hand of another pirate beside Barbarossa and raised it in front of Barbarossa: "Wash your hands, and then compare them carefully with your fellow's hands."
The wide and deep lines, the oil color that can't be washed off, the unclean stains in the nails, the calluses on the palms and knuckles, and some deformed and coarse bone joints......"
Throwing away the pirate's hand, the fat man sneered: "This is the hand that a middle-aged man who has been engaged in mechanic work for a long time should have!"
”Barbarossa was silent.Originally, he thought that the camouflage image he designed according to his not vicious appearance was already very tight, who knows, this clothes, these oil stains, in the eyes of this fat man, are full of flaws.Since he is targeted, it is useless to deny it, if this fat man must confirm his identity, there are naturally many ways for him to choose.Barbarossa looked at the fat man calmly, smiled slightly, and asked, "So, what is the fourth flaw you recognize in me?"
”Two Leray soldiers approached and left Barbarossa alone."
It's very simple...... the fat man walked forward with a smile: "Lao Tzu happened to have seen your photo." ”When the scarred [Castlelily] docked at the Duxing spaceport under the escort of two battleships and six cruisers of the First Fleet, the lifeless atmosphere enveloped the heads of all the high-ranking military and political axes of Le Lei.The special fleet suffered a well-planned attack, and the envoy plan ran aground, and the Federation hero Tian Xingjian and the [Bolan Rose] were trapped in the enemy position, and there has been no news of the murder so far.The news that could not have been worse could not have been worse, and the Supreme Command was plunged into a gloomy fog.As soon as Vice President Flavio returned, he demanded that a fleet be dispatched immediately to meet the Bethle Rose.The old man, who has always shown himself as a strong veteran, cried in front of everyone for the first time.Those tears, no matter how much you persuade them, can't persuade them.It's not just Flavio who weeps bitterly.And all the officers and men on the entire [Castle Lily].These men, who had fought with the Gacharins and the Desiks, who saw death as simpler than sleep, were drunk and crying in the bars of the airbase, at home, in the dormitories, in the arms of their girlfriends.A radar soldier told his father in tears: "Originally, we should have died.Now, as soon as I close my eyes, I can see the scene of the [Blue Rose] as it jumps over the porthole of the radar cabin......"".It was one of the most beautiful images I've ever seen......
The silver-white teardrop-shaped battleship, dragging a long blue ionic light wake, glides silently in the silent space, their energy cannons are flashing red and white, and their portholes are brightly lit......
""They just rushed up and crossed in front of the enemy......"
The tears of the radar soldier rolled out of their eyes and fell to the ground: "I can't forget that scene until I am old and die!"
”With tears in his eyes, the father put his arms around his grief-stricken son's shoulders.He believes that what his son said is also the most beautiful picture he can imagine."
They called the light signal......
They told us to fuck off......" the young radarman cried.Outside the door of the study, the mother, who was holding a plate of peeled fruit and was about to push the door in, gently loosened the doorknob.She wiped her tears with her hands.She knew her son was still alive.And in the far reaches of space, hundreds of young people the size of their sons may have died.Mother staggered downstairs, put the fruit bowl on the table, and sat down slowly on the bench on the terrace.Looking up at the bright starry sky blankly, I don't know when this war that has shattered the dreams of countless people in this star field will end......
The ten destroyers drawn from the overstretched mixed fleet set off for the tuna constellation as soon as they got the news.However, the dozens of high-stealth reconnaissance ships dispatched in advance searched the entire star field, and there was no trace of the [Blue Rose].Fighting airspace, nothing remains.The cosmic battlefield is meant to be like this.The shock wave of the explosion will turn all the debris into a meteor in the universe and disappear into the interstellar depths.Unless it happens to be captured by gravity, nothing will be left behind.Under Flavio's orders, ten destroyers took up positions in an attempt to locate the attacking Western warships.However, in such a vast star field, the search of ten destroyers without a goal was just in vain.In the end, the fleet had to abandon the search and set off for Chacna to continue Flavio's mission.Time could not allow them to wait any longer.Just a day ago, a message from the Federal High Command came from the accompanying electronic early warning ship.On December 22, 2o62, two mixed fleets of the Seuss Empire crossed the Chaknaresk system and approached the Longbow system of the Salga Federation.At the same time, Salga's Federal President Terry announced his resignation and held an early presidential election.The Bundestag passed a resolution to withdraw all forces from the Leray Bermuda system.Unilaterally announced a withdrawal from the war to seek neutrality, closed borders, and martial law throughout the country.The rain has come!
