Witherspoon, 37, Vice Admiral, Commander of Starfleet Fleet. He came from a pretty good family, and although he didn't make it to the Circle of Roses, it was enough to support him in studying at the best university. After graduation, he joined the Federation Fleet and served smoothly, even a little mediocre, until the Battle of the Longitude Line.
It was the battle at Lev's Jump Point that made Witherspoon rise like a comet. When this battle broke out, the vertical line had been going on for more than half a year. Xu Bingyan had just defeated almost all the famous federal generals and was at the peak of his powers. As long as the dynasty fleet flies Xu Bingyan's banner, the federal troops will flee wherever they go.
At that time, Witherspoon was leading a small fleet to garrison the jump point. The dynasty fleet facing absolute superiority would normally have retreated, and the vast majority of federal forces did the same. However, to everyone's surprise, Witherspoon not only refused to escape, but also launched a brazen counterattack! He led the fleet and jumped directly into the center of the dynasty fleet!
This move was tantamount to suicide, but Witherspoon pointed a gun at the flagship captain's head, forcing him to complete the leap with no return. The flagship jumped first, and the rest of the fleet exploded instantly, jumping one after another without any flinching!
The space shock caused by the jump instantly tore apart less than half of the Dynasty fleet, and two of Witherspoon's fleet were also torn apart when they jumped out of the jump point. Witherspoon was very lucky, and the flagship was not seriously damaged. He immediately launched a suicidal attack on the dynasty fleet, and even accelerated directly to sublight speed. Sublight speed is definitely not a combat speed. Once a collision occurs, the party being hit cannot escape at all, and the impacting party will only end up returning to atoms.
In this way, the dynasty fleet, which had suffered heavy losses, had to choose to retreat, making the battle at Lev's Jump Point one of the few highlights in the entire campaign.
After this battle, Witherspoon was promoted to major general.
If Witherspoon's battle with Lev could be said to have had a lot of luck, then the Battle of Seryue a few months later silenced all doubters. In this battle, Witherspoon led a powerful fleet with three heavy cruisers as its core. His opponent was one of Xu Bingyan's three famous generals, and the fleet's strength also exceeded Witherspoon's. In this battle, Witherspoon demonstrated his impeccable fleet command and perseverance. The two sides launched an extremely brutal head-on confrontation, exchanging starships one by one. The loss of Witherspoon's fleet, which bites the opponent tightly, is already incredible. When the battle situation reached its peak, he brazenly led his flagship to launch an unrelenting death assault on his opponent's flagship.
As the youngest and most promising among Xu Bingyan's three famous generals, Du Hu obviously didn't want to die with a madman. So after both sides lost one-third of their fleets, the dynasty fleet chose to retreat.
In this battle, Witherspoon repelled his opponent with inferior forces and suffered slightly less losses than the Dynasty. He was extremely conspicuous in the silent Federation fleet, and no one could say anything. After this battle, Witherspoon was promoted to lieutenant general, rising two ranks in just a few months.
The Federation is too big, and famous generals bloom like flowers and fade like stars at night. Since then, Witherspoon has had ups and downs, and has never fought such a classic battle. But looking at all his battles since then, it can at least be described as watertight. He won everything he should win, and he didn't lose some things he should have lost. In the end These are some battles that must be lost, and they are lost without any suspense.
After reading Witherspoon's information, Hathaway's bad impression of him has largely subsided. Why would such a person, a person who performed much better on the battlefield than most so-called famous generals, come to his office and behave like that?
Witherspoon acted strangely, but his eyes were cold and he didn't look like a madman.
At this moment, Hathaway received a message from Witherspoon: "Have you seen my information? You may be wondering why I met in this way. The reason is simple, I I want to leave a deep impression on you, whether it is good or bad; the second reason is to see your reaction. Now that we can get acquainted again, I have made a reservation at Wilson's restaurant so that we can eat together tonight Over a meal, all your questions will be answered, and this meeting may be related to the future of the Jolly Roger."
"Mysterious." Hathaway sneered and threw the information into the trash can.
7pm sharp.
Sitting by the window of Wilson's restaurant, Witherspoon looked at Hathaway across from him and smiled: "You are so beautiful that I have never seen before. And you are dangerous from the inside out. This kind of attraction is simply It’s fatal. If I’m not wrong, you might be able to kill me with one move during our meeting in the afternoon.”
Hathaway said with a deadpan expression: "I'm not here to listen to your boring stories, but your guess is quite accurate."
Witherspoon shrugged and said, "I have an instinct for danger."
"Is this why you started the fight between Lev and Seryue?" Hathaway asked. Her attitude seemed casual, but in fact she mobilized all her attention to Witherspoon's reaction. After returning from the real dream, Hathaway knew that humans still have countless secrets to be discovered, and perhaps Witherspoon has similar abilities.
The smile on Witherspoon's face disappeared a little, and he said: "At Lev's Jump Point, my intuition told me that if I stayed, I would lose the battle and I would die. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I was so cold that I almost I couldn't say anything. Maybe I was too scared, so I jumped directly into the center of the dynasty fleet, thinking that I could die faster this way. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to survive. Unexpectedly, a battle The real reason for the heroic feats boasted by the media was that a coward was scared out of his mind.”
Hathaway didn't smile, saying, "Whatever the reason, it's truly a feat."
"The battles that follow are my true level. I win and I lose, and it relies heavily on military strength. Without the superiority in military strength, it would be difficult for me to win. Because I escaped two times, the media is no longer interested in me. My superiors are promoting me. I'm also stressed."
Hathaway said: "I have read the data of those two battles. You are at an absolute disadvantage. It is amazing to be able to bring the fleet back with a 15% loss."
Witherspoon was not at all proud and said calmly: "Strictly speaking, I just didn't make a mistake. Unfortunately, my opponent didn't make a mistake either, so I retreated."
Hathaway said: "Why did you come to me? Want to find a beautiful woman to listen to you talk about your glorious deeds?"
Witherspoon smiled and said: "I really want to do that, but the war is not over yet, and Xu Bingyan has not gone back to the dynasty. So now is not the time to do this. Xu Bingyan is about to start a new offensive. At this time Someone needs to give him a head-on blow. The above thought of me, and I need to find some reliable partners and warriors, so I found you. Take your pirate flag and follow me to give that bitch Xu Bingyan a hard blow. How about it?"
"You've got the wrong person." Hathaway stood up and prepared to leave, leaving the food on the table untouched.
