"Do you want me to do it?"
Li Youde looked at the medals on the tray in Jessica's hand and asked.
Lieutenant Anton nodded: "You have just succeeded Shepard as the captain of the Osiris, and you need to win people's hearts. This is what Major General Shepard meant. You missed the previous ceremony, so you can't miss it today."
"Okay, what are their names?"
"Liao, Edward, Natasha."
"I remember."
On the deck of the Osiris, a new round of awarding ceremony is taking place. Today's ceremony is quite special. Only three newcomers from Team Z are being conferred, and the audience is all veterans of the Osiris who have gone through this ceremony before.
Lin Ao first looked at the white military uniform on his body, and then at the warrant officer rank on his shoulders, feeling nervous. He looked in the direction of Bart. Bart, who was a veteran and had been very active recently, had only been promoted one level, but he had gone from being an ordinary person to a warrant officer in one breath. He felt that this was not appropriate, and Bart, Miao Haosi and Li Si and the others didn't seem to care.
Li Youde, Anton, and Jessica carrying the tray came over. Li Youde felt the same as Lin Ao. He was just a sergeant before, but now he became a captain and was promoted to a colonel. The veterans of the Osiris watched, feeling a little guilty.
Anton introduced to Lin Ao and the others: "This is Colonel Li Youde. Since Major General Shepard is unwell, he will be the captain of the Osiris from now on."
Shepard told everyone about this before leaving office, so no one was surprised. At this time, Edward, a former soldier, and Natasha saluted Li Youde together, while Lin Ao was half a beat slower.
Li Youde returned the greetings to them, looked at the three of them, and thought to himself: "They look like they are only 18 or 9 years old. Are all the legendary Ten Swords pilots that young?"
"In view of your great contribution to the liberation of Mycenae, you are now awarded the rank of warrant officer and awarded the medal of Liberator of Mycenae. I hope you will continue to work hard."
Although each member of the crew of the Osiris had one medal for the "Liberator of Mycenae", the awarding ceremony was still sacred. Li Youde took out the medal from the tray and pinned it on the chests of the three of them.
"Edward and Natasha, no matter what forces you have served before, I hope you can fight against evil as warriors of Mycenae in the future."
Anton looked at Lin Ao, seeming to see his inner uneasiness, and said, "Lin Ao, the reason why you boarded the ship could be that you were taken in by the Osiris for refuge, or you could be forced to board the ship by me. No matter what, I am grateful that you persisted until now, helped us regain our homeland, and went deep into dangerous situations many times to help us save the day. Considering your contribution and the number of kills, you will be awarded the rank of Warrant Officer."
Hearing what Sergeant Anton said, Lin Ao felt better, and he puffed up his chest with peace of mind, and followed Edward and the others to salute Li Youde and Anton again.
…
"The hat of a school officer is too hot. Teacher, he shouldn't have promoted me to the rank of associate school in one fell swoop. No matter how high it is, I should be on the same level as Lieutenant Anton Anton."
"According to Xingmei's rules, the person commanding the battleship must be a colonel, although the Star Alliance itself may not abide by this now. Don't be modest. Major General Shepard must have his considerations."
After the investiture ceremony, Li Youde and Anton were walking in the Wurao Corridor. There was no one else here, so Li Youde took off his military cap. But at this time, a lady came forward and put on his hat again in a hurry.
Anton seemed to know the visitor and said politely, "Our new captain is not available for interviews today."
"I know, I know, hello Captain Li Youde, I am Sima Qian, a reporter from Global News Network. I have been following the Osiris to collect information during this period. Please accept my interview next time you are free."
Li Youde breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the woman was not interviewing him. Before he could say hello, he saw Sima Qian pushing Anton away involuntarily. Because this was a low-gravity area, Anton floated backwards as soon as she pushed him.
"What are you doing? I have other things to do!"
"You are not the captain, what can you do? Come with me, I want to collect materials in Lion Gate City, and you will be my guide and driver."
“Where are your photographer and assistant?!”
"They don't know the way! Stop talking nonsense. If you dare to shirk, I will find a way to deal with you."
"you…"
Anton did not dare to resist, so he was pushed out of the corridor by Sima Qian. Li Youde sighed with shame: "What a dynamic ship."
Li Youde walked forward for a while and saw Lin Ao, Edward and Natasha chatting in front, so he deliberately slowed down to hear what they would talk about.
"Your Majesty the Princess, won't the New Moscow royal family be angry if you deign to become a soldier of a colonial satellite city-state?"
"I don't care about them. Anyway, I won't go back until my sister abdicates."
"Your sister is so young, you are expecting her to die..."
Li Youde was secretly surprised. Is this Natasha really the sister of Queen Anna of the New Principality of Moscow? Then it’s not easy for me to be a captain...
When the three of them saw Li Youde approaching, they all saluted him. Li Youde returned the salute and said, "I heard that Mr. Shepard was determined to regain his homeland with your help. Please accept my personal thanks."
Lin Ao asked: "Captain, I heard that the legendary relics on the Osiris have passed through the Lion Gate Museum?"
"Yes, the Osiris is not a mobile museum after all, and it is not safe to stay on the ship."
"What a pity. It would be great if we could still find new relics. The relics are very powerful in combat."
Li Youde shook his head: "No, we cannot rely on the power of the past. I heard that the times are the reincarnation of old mankind. If our generation of humans wants to break the reincarnation, we cannot rely on the past, but on ourselves!"
"What's going to happen to that South African military lord?"
"Well...I don't know. Now he is placed under house arrest in another place. It depends on the teacher's follow-up arrangements."
Li Youde looked at the three of them and said, "I, like Lin Ao and Edward, are all alone, and Captain Shepard treats me like my father. I hope that we can be like a family on the Osiris in the future." Get along with each other. Natasha, although I don’t know your future path, I also hope that you can stay happy on the ship."
"Well, it's better than being surrounded by traitors and my sister's informants. But the name of this ship is not very auspicious."
…
Second, the Osiris is about to depart. Although it has been less than a week since it returned to Mycenae, and the crew has not been reunited with their families for a long time, most of the crew chose to return to their posts in order to bring back supplies and armaments as soon as possible. , follow this ship to start a new journey.
"It won't be long this time. Mycenae still has enough food left for one month. This month is enough for the Osiris to go back and forth from Nineveh. Once the purchased supplies are finished, Mycenae's agricultural satellite will Normal supply can be restored, and now the people are also looking for solutions, and I will be back soon."
Sergeant Anton pinned the lieutenant's hat on his chest. In front of him were the tombstones of his parents and brothers. Sima Qian stood in the distance and watched him say goodbye to his family.
On the way back to the port, the curious Sima Qian couldn't help but ask: "Did you join the army because your family died in the independent radical movement in New Rome before the birth of HER?"
"I was already a soldier before they were killed. Do you think I joined the army for revenge?"
"Excuse me."
"It's nothing, many people think so. I do hate HER, but not just because of my family. I am also angry at all the atrocities they have committed. My revenge against HER is limited to beating them until they surrender and apologize for their crimes. I won’t do anything extreme until I pay the price. This way, my family’s souls wandering in the universe will also be relieved... Sima Qian, aren’t you considering changing your career?”
"Huh? Do you think I'm not suitable to be a reporter?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. You are a brave reporter. But my parents are also reporters. If it weren't for them going to New Rome to report the news, nothing would have happened."
"Oh, are you concerned about me?"
"No... Anyway, I don't want anything to happen to any of the crew members."
"Hahahahaha!"
"why are you laughing?"
"I won't tell you."
…
"Has the crew all boarded the ship?"
"We're all back! We're all in place and ready to go at any time!" Jessica.
Neatly dressed in uniform, Li Youde sat on the captain's seat on the bridge of the Osiris. He took a deep breath to relieve the tension in his heart. He stroked the leather seat handle and muttered to himself: "This is what the teacher has fought for." place…"
"No, the captain spent most of the time lying on a special bed. The bed has been removed and this chair is newly equipped. Captain, can we set sail?"
Li Youde coughed twice, waved his hand forward and shouted: "Osiris, go to Nineveh, let's go!"
"Yes! Notify all departments that this ship is about to set sail, please be prepared."
"Departments need to be prepared."
"ignition!"
"Ignition completed, 10, 9, 8...3, 2, 1 left before takeoff! Let's go!"
The door of the Lion's Gate First Airport has long been opened, and the yellow guidance cursor stretches into the universe. Under its guidance, the Osiris slowly sails out of the airport.
When the entire hull of the Osiris left the airport, Yamaguchi immediately turned the steering wheel so that the hull was parallel to the Lion's Gate satellite. This was done so that the residents of the city could say goodbye to the ship.
Under the care of a nurse, Shepard sat in a wheelchair and watched the Osiris set sail again outside the house. The originally empty scene on the outer wall of the colonial satellite was specially changed to a live broadcast of the Osiris's departure. He looked like a child. As the love ship and crew gradually moved away, Shepard's heart was filled with unspeakable reluctance. He raised his hand and tried to touch the Osiris, which was far outside the wall.
"I entrusted it to you, Li Youde. My dreams and responsibilities must come back safely!"
