Li Huamei's application for enlistment submitted to the Second Fleet was beyond the expectations of the entire Second Fleet Command, but it was approved immediately.
If for no other reason than Li Huamei's ability, any fleet that rejects her would be losing face!
Moreover, Lieutenant General Bell Colvin, the commander of the Second Fleet, is also eagerly awaiting her arrival. Since Vice Admiral Colvin took command of the Second Fleet, he has been jointly opposed by Admiral Drescher's direct descendants and has been unable to effectively integrate the fleet. What's even more annoying is that although the old fox Drescher has retired, he is obviously still alive. I don’t want to delegate power! Behind those people, his figure is vaguely visible! An old guy who was born in the former United States and has served in the Star Alliance for 62 years. His connections are unimaginable and he is not something ordinary people can fight against.
The original intention of the Star Alliance to send a female general to replace Admiral Drescher was to reduce the resistance of Drescher and the officers of the Second Fleet. Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating. Vice Admiral Colvin's soft style of dealing with things and his wrangling style with the Star Alliance Council finally caused the situation of the Second Fleet to deteriorate - there were even petty officers who started a series of petitions in private, trying to make the 92-year-old The elderly Admiral Drescher has returned to the Second Fleet and been reinstated!
Vice Admiral Colvin has been completely exhausted in the past two years. In the confrontation with the deputy commander of the fleet, Drescher's direct descendant, the German Major General Fabian, he has repeatedly been at a disadvantage.
Now she actually pins her hopes on Li Huamei. She is simply seeking medical treatment indiscriminately because of a sudden illness!
She is currently in the Second Fleet, which does not receive the full support of the parliament. There are constraints everywhere inside. The control of most of the fleet is in the hands of Major General Fabian, and he is vaguely controlled by the old guy! Even that old guy's scum son Duncan. They were all showing off their power in the Second Fleet all day long, causing the entire fleet to become a mess!
For example, right now, Lieutenant General Colvin is still naively weighing whether to transfer Li Huamei to the flagship for protection. Most of her captains. We have collectively participated in the meeting convened by Major General Fabian and directly decided on the specific arrangements for Li Huamei!
I don’t know how she would feel if she knew this fact...
*****
German Major General Fabian sat at the top of the small conference room.
Although he is the well-deserved first person in the conference room - but he cannot sit at the top of the table! It was always empty because everyone knew that it was only for Admiral Drescher! Leading the Second Fleet for 30 years. Having achieved a glorious victory in the "First Contact Battle", the old man has left his mark deeply on this place.
Opposite Major General Fabian sat Captain Duncan. Surrounded by a group of general and school-level military officers, he sat in the front row, looking particularly dazzling! But everyone pretended not to see it... How can Admiral Drescher have such a son, and he is so pampered!
"You guys can discuss how to arrange that little girl. As a retired old man, I don't speak, I just listen..." Admiral Drescher, who was attending the meeting via communication as usual, seemed to be packing up the flowerpots in his hands without caring. ——But his crisp admiral uniform clearly told everyone. That's not what he meant!
"What are we discussing?! Isn't she good at driving battleships?! Just throw her into the Marine Corps and let her rot there for the rest of her life!" Duncan said unscrupulously! The expressions of many captains around him changed!
If you really do that, you are not trying to trick Li Huamei. That's a slap in the face of the n7 training center! Even slapping the entire Star Alliance Navy in the face! By the way, it also embarrassed the Second Fleet!
Admiral Drescher nodded approvingly...
So these captains could only use their eyes to signal Major General Fabian, asking him to quickly come forward to persuade the old man. Among the people here, except for Duncan, Major General Fabian is the old man’s favorite disciple, and he is the most popular with the old man. Drescher has said many times that when he leaves the Second Fleet, Fabian will be his successor. .
"Ahem~" Major General Fabian cleared his throat, and the conference room fell silent. After seeing everyone's attention drawn, Major General Fabian said softly, "If you leave it to the Marines, it will definitely attract criticism. Whether it is the N7 Center or the brother fleets, it will be difficult to explain... My suggestion is to appoint her as the captain! The captain of the cruiser..."
"What are you talking about?! Even if you don't trample her to death, you still want to promote a lieutenant cruise captain as an exception?!" Duncan jumped up as if he had been stabbed! His face turned red and he glared at Major General Fabian fiercely! "You traitor..."
Fabian's words were interrupted, his brows furrowed, and his face suddenly turned cold! But before he could speak, "Shut up!" Old Man Drescher yelled first! He glared at Duncan angrily, "What do you know?! Do you have any right to speak here?! Get out and reflect!"
Duncan, who realized that he had crossed the line, was angrily kicked out of the conference room without any argument. Fabian was speechless as the father and son sang together. He was so angry that he simply drank water. "Ignore him, he's just a kid who hasn't grown up! Fabian, keep talking..." The old man took over what happened just now.
Fabian endured it again and again, and finally said with a livid face, "Our fleet has such a cruiser, which is called the 'ship of the betrayer'..."
Suddenly everyone understood it! Even Admiral Drescher laughed, how could he forget this matter... So he decided like this.
The cruiser "Prague" is that infamous battleship.
Twenty years ago, Admiral Drescher led the Second Fleet to sneak attack the Turian fleet. When the battle was at its most difficult and intense, the cruiser "Prague" withdrew in the name of "excessive battle damage." The battlefield! In that battle, three battleships of the Second Fleet crashed, but only one retreated... Since then, although its withdrawal had extremely legitimate reasons, it was still quietly called the "Ship of the Betrayer" after the war. .
When Admiral Drescher was still leading the Second Fleet, he made no secret of his personal disgust for this battleship.
Not only in terms of task assignment, he often sent the Bragg to perform humiliating tasks (such as letting the cruiser "Prague" patrol the waterway, etc.); but also all the people he didn't like in the Second Fleet were thrown into this battleship. From then on, You will never get ahead! Over time, holding a position on the cruiser Bragg became a kind of punishment! It is like being in prison here, and it will only expire on the day of retirement!... Admiral Drescher has been away for the past two years, Everyone ignored this matter.
"Just do what Fabian said!" General Drescher looked at Major General Fabian with joy. Sure enough, I am still proud of my disciples!
*****
When Li Huamei stepped off the transport plane, there was only one lieutenant standing there alone on the bridge, waiting to be picked up.
Even though she had anticipated such a situation, Li Huamei still couldn't help but smile bitterly - Sure enough, if you want to have an easier life in the future, can you only become a villain?
"Why is it you?" Li Huamei did not expect that the person who came to greet her was actually a familiar stranger. The simple-looking young man in front of him was the military judge who tried Li Huamei in the military court, Lieutenant Zhang Tan.
"Welcome, Captain!" Zhang Tan formally experienced a military salute, but his smile was also full of bitterness. When he was transferred to participate in the battle to exterminate pirates, he originally thought he would be able to escape the suffering of the Second Fleet—unexpectedly, in the end, he was forced to stay by General Drescher! It seems that the admiral plans to play with him for the rest of his life! ! !
And because his frigate was destroyed in the battle, Zhang Tan was thrown into the "ship of the betrayer" openly and served as Li Huamei's first mate.
The two protagonists of that trial were finally reunited! The moment he saw Li Huamei, he realized what had happened, and also realized... No wonder the headquarters appointed him to pick up the plane. Is this killing a chicken to scare the monkey? Then there will be a good show next.
"What captain?" Li Huamei was surprised at first - when she heard Zhang Tan carefully explain the "difference" of this battleship, her two heroic eyebrows were raised, it was really good-looking! "Hmph, I want to see how a retired old man can cover the sky with one hand!"
…
Li Huamei strode in front, while Zhang Tan was half a step behind. Both of them showed military standards and were meticulous! Behind them, at some point, there were two more soldiers with their face shields covered.
When they arrived in front of the command center of the Second Fleet, they saw a group of officers blocking the gate from a distance, waiting to humiliate them! The leader is undoubtedly Admiral Drescher's precious son, Captain Duncan!
"Hi! Bichi! Give me a good salute..." Duncan struttingly blocked the road, polishing his military rank! No... this is not a formal meal, he just wants to have some fun before formally humiliating the two of them!
But before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang!" Duncan paused, and the second half of his words came to an abrupt end - the officers around him were dumbfounded, rubbing their eyes and looking at Li Huamei in disbelief! She... what did she just do? ! How dare she? !
Li Huamei's outstretched foot was gently retracted from Duncan's crotch, as if everything just now was an illusion. But the cracked armor crotch under Duncan's crotch, as well as the crisp cracking sound just now, all made the people around him clamp their legs tightly.
There was only Duncan, with his legs crossed, his face looking like he was crying and smiling at the same time, his grin twisted and twisted. "Again!... I just had surgery to repair it, and it broke again..." He murmured and fell to his knees, with two lines of tears streaming down his face.
