"What's wrong with me?" Chu Jungui was confused.
"I heard some rumors. Commander Lin is very tough and loves his niece Lin Xi very much."
"This is a good thing, but what does it have to do with me?"
Qin Yi just shook his head and said, "Bless yourself, brother, I can't help you."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"You'll understand later." Qin Yi refused to say it clearly and left in a hurry, making Chu Jungui feel unhappy. Fortunately, the test subject does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder and does not have to know anything.
Looking at Qin Yi's retreating figure, Chu Jungui was a little confused. People like him had just gotten off the spaceship, why were there rumors?
On the upper level of the base, a land shuttle was moving at high speed along the passage. Inside the shuttle were Lin Xi, Li Ruobai and Lu Niancheng. Although these upper-class figures also have to go through the inspection process, they do not need to queue up.
There was silence in the shuttle, and Lu Niancheng was uncharacteristically silent. Lin Xi was quiet and lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking. There was only Li Ruobai, looking around and feeling uncomfortable. There were two fleet officers in the car. Li Ruobai kept talking, and soon lost interest.
The floating shuttle car turned through several passages, and then the front suddenly opened up, and a huge and empty hall appeared. The hemispherical dome was tens of meters high. On both sides of the square were automatic parking lots for the shuttle car to park. Shuttle cars came in and out of the square, flying in the sky, but under the system's scheduling, everything was in order and there would never be a collision.
Lin Xi's shuttle car had special access rights and flew directly into the headquarters gate and stopped in the internal parking lot. The iceberg beauty who had appeared on the communication screen before actually appeared in the parking lot, specifically to pick up Lin Xi. There is a general star on her shoulder, and her military rank is tied with Lu Niancheng. But judging from her appearance, she is at least twenty years younger than Lu Niancheng. Considering that people in this era generally live longer, it is possible to be forty or fifty years younger.
The iceberg beauty came to Lin Xi, stretched out her hand and said, "I am Ling Fei, Commander Lin sent me to pick you up."
Lin Xi looked at her, but without extending her hand, she said calmly: "There's no need to shake hands, just take me to see him."
Ling Fei was stunned for a moment, her hand froze in mid-air, then she slowly took it back and said, "Follow me."
The two beauties walked past one after the other, receiving countless looks along the way. But when everyone looked at it, they only dared to look at it quietly, and no one dared to watch it openly. Everyone knows that these two have extraordinary identities. If they are really provoked, the iceberg can turn into a volcano at any time.
As soon as Lin Xi and Ling Fei left, Li Ruobai immediately became lively. He pulled Lu Niancheng and asked, "Who is this Ling Fei? She was promoted very quickly! She and Sister Xi knew each other before?"
Lu Niancheng shook his head, "As far as I know, there should have never been any intersection. Miss Lin has never been to the Ninth Fleet headquarters. Speaking of this Ling Fei, she is quite legendary."
"Oh, tell me!" Li Ruobai became interested.
"She graduated from Zhige Academy with top five grades and joined our Ninth Fleet as soon as she graduated."
"Going to the Ninth Fleet after graduation? What does this mean, exile or dispatch?"
Li Ruobai always spoke too truthfully, which made Lu Niancheng blush and said displeased: "What are you talking about! Our ninth fleet is firmly in the top three among the major fleets in the dynasty in terms of size and combat power! In terms of actual combat record , second only to the First Fleet.”
"That's because you are a border guard fleet, and you have to fight against the real and fake star thieves every day. If there is a war between the three families in the future, you will be the first line. With her top five results, she is still assigned here, not to offend her. He just doesn't have any background." Li Ruobai was still so rude when he spoke.
Lu Niancheng sighed and said: "I don't know if she offended anyone, but it is true that she has no background. The first day she reported to the fleet, she served as a staff officer. Afterwards, in several battles, her plans were all won. Highly praised, the final battle plan was based on this, and the results were very good. After a few battles, the news reached the commander's ears. After seeing her battle plan, Commander Lin also praised her, and she was transferred to the Fleet Commander. In the staff department, the military rank was also promoted to major as an exception."
"In what year was she here?"
"The third year."
"Three years as a major! It's really fast enough."
Lu Niancheng nodded and said, "A big thing happened after she entered the General Staff Headquarters."
"What's up?"
"At that time, a new group of star thieves appeared in our jurisdiction. They were very powerful. Based on their combat style, we guessed that they were disguised by the Federation's elite Nineteenth Fleet."
"That black lancer? Then you're in trouble."
"Indeed, we fought several battles at that time, with more defeats and fewer wins. If we had too many troops, they would not show up. As long as the two sides are evenly matched, there will definitely be a fight. The opponent's intention to train troops is very obvious."
"Then what?"
"The chief of staff at the time proposed the Star Chain plan, which was to strengthen the defense forces of all important star regions, form a star defense fleet, and rely on planets to build a defense system in the outer star regions. In this way, the opponent's activity space could be reduced. However, as soon as this plan was proposed, Ling Fei openly opposed it at the meeting."
"You are quite courageous."
It's crazy to think that a major who has just served for three years openly opposes the plan of at least the chief of staff of the general. The plan that the chief of staff could come up with at the meeting must have gone through many rounds of revisions in private, and the details are quite complete. What Ling Fei objects to must be the overall strategic direction.
A fledgling kid dares to give advice on the fleet's grand strategy. In most cases, this is not because of arrogance, but because of a lack of self-awareness.
"Then what outstanding insights did she come up with?" Li Ruobai was actually quite dissatisfied. In this era, most people in high positions have enhanced intelligence and have various means to assist in decision-making. If a rookie wants to challenge the superior, it is basically impossible.
"She believes that offense is the best defense. Her strategy is to form a similar fleet and also harass the Federation's star field. Then there is a high probability that the Black Lancers will fight this fleet decisively."
Li Ruobai nodded, this sounded reasonable.
Lu Niancheng smiled bitterly and said, "The question is, who will command this fleet?"
Li Ruobai was also smart and understood instantly. This fleet is undoubtedly in a dangerous situation, and in a decisive battle with the Black Lancers with equal strength, no matter who it is, the outcome can only be said to be between two and one. To put it bluntly, for the weaker generals, this is simply a road of no return. And for those generals with outstanding abilities, their superiors would never allow them to take such risks. After all, the overall situation is still in a peaceful era, and there is no need to make fearless sacrifices.
No one can lead the army, and it is impossible for a person like Ling Fei, who has no command experience, to lead the army.
"Well, it was careless. What happened next?"
"Then the opponent suddenly used space to jump into our hinterland, instantly turning the peripheral defense system that cost a lot of money into a display."
Li Ruobai asked curiously: "Isn't this tantamount to suicide? How many troops do they have?"
"There were only a dozen starships. But they actually took advantage of the time difference between the siege forces and defeated the four siege forces that arrived first, and then jumped away calmly before the main fleet encircled them."
Li Ruobai praised: "This is a slap in the face."
"So she was promoted to major general just after ten years in the army."
"It's still a bit fast. Well, both of them are from Zhige Academy. If they knew, their relationship would be better, right?" Li Ruobai guessed.
Now in front, Ling Fei turned around and said, "I heard that you are from Zhige Academy?"
"The same to you?"
"Yes, I graduated ten years ago."
"It turns out to be Senior Sister, what a coincidence."
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
