1589. Doubt
A burst of white light flashed, and more than a dozen capital ships and more than 50 small and medium-sized warships left the hyperspace channel and appeared outside the planet Annaji.
Among this battleship formation, there is a very huge flat-shaped battleship that is very conspicuous. This battleship is an astonishing 3,175 meters long and is shaped into a flat rectangle. In front of the battleship, two separate hulls with the same long angles extend out.
There aren't many turrets visible on this battleship, but there is a very wide hangar platform right in front, and one on each side of the battleship. Obviously, the warship that can have such a layout can only be one type of ship - aircraft carrier!
That's right, this large aircraft carrier with a length of 3,175 meters is the new generation aircraft carrier of the Principality of Dawn, the Archon-class aircraft carrier!
The Archon-class aircraft carrier is the latest research result of the Salarian Warship Research Center. After a long period of testing and verification, two trial prototype aircraft carriers finally came off the production line and began actual combat testing.
Therefore, during this period of time, those who are qualified to use the Archon-class aircraft carrier as their own ship are undoubtedly the most powerful and powerful figures in the Principality of Dawn.
"General, we have arrived at the planet Annaji." In this Archon-class aircraft carrier, a navigator came over and reported to a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing in the center of the bridge.
"The entire army has entered alert mode. First, everyone should enter the predetermined defense zone, and then enter the berths one by one! There must be no confusion!" Matt Horner stood upright in the center of the bridge, with his hands behind his back.
This is his habit as a soldier. Even now that he is in a high position, he remains meticulous at all times and takes every detail seriously, starting with his stance.
"Yes! General." The adjutant agreed immediately and began to convey the instructions.
"Remember! We are not here for a vacation on the planet Annaji! We are here to deal with possible enemy attacks! Each unit must maintain combat readiness at all times, and at most a quarter of the crew can be rotated at a time!" Matt - said Horner.
"Yes!" The adjutant stood at attention again and saluted, but then he frowned and said, "But general... isn't the planet Annaji in the rear?"
Matt Horner glanced at him and said coldly: "Before setting off, I had already discussed this topic in an all-military meeting. A soldier's order is to obey! Since the order tells us to come to defend, then let's come , it can’t be a vacation!”
"Yes!" the adjutant responded loudly, puffing up his chest.
Matt Horner habitually raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then said: "Inform the entire army that a practical drill will be held at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning standard time on Planet Dawn!"
"yes!"
At this time, the communications soldier came over and said: "General, Chief Helmut Zemo is on the secret channel."
"Take that." Matt Horner waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the conference room.
The door to the conference room is closed, the electromagnetic barrier is deployed, and the confidential communication mode is entered. No one can eavesdrop on any communication here.
"I'm very pleased to hear that you arrived safely, General Matt Horner." What appeared in the holographic projection was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with meticulously styled hair, a clean beard, and a robe. .
Helmut Zemo, the chief minister of the Liming Principality's cabinet, is also a very trusted confidant and think tank of Liming Grand Duke Tang Xiao.
When he was first awakened, he actually didn't look outstanding, and he was just an ordinary person among the crowd (Zemo used the image in "Captain America 3" in this book). Now, as his status continues to rise and he is influenced by the culture of the current "Star Wars" universe, his style has also changed dramatically.
During the development of Dawn Planet, Zemo made many plans with very keen judgment and precise understanding of human nature and psychology.
Many strategies and plans during the rise of Dawn Planet and even the Fourth Civilization were inseparable from his work behind the scenes, and his loyalty to Tang Xiao was unquestionable. because
After the Principality of Liming was officially established and Tang Xiao was sworn in as Grand Duke of Liming, he also granted Helmut Zemo the title of Baron.
Zemo thus became a baron in name only, and became the only person with a title in the Principality of Dawn.
By the way, another person with a title is Professor Chi Jianjun, the founder of the fourth civilization’s scientific research work. This legendary figure, who had a rough style, liked to look at little girls, and once drove Tang Xiao out of the house with his terrible snoring, has now retired and was awarded the title of Viscount by Tang Xiao (ranking order: Duke, Duke, Bozinan).
The late former Navy Commander-in-Chief, Igor Zavalov, was posthumously awarded a baronetcy.
From here we can also see Tang Xiao's preference for Helmut Zemo. It can be said that Zemo is Tang Xiao's right-hand man. It is no exaggeration.
Matt Horner looked at one of the most powerful people in the Dawn Principality in front of him, with an indifferent expression, and said slowly: "I will station in the Annaji galaxy to ensure that everything here is safe. This is my promise."
"Sir Tang Xiao will be very pleased to see your current state, General Horner." Baron Helmut Zemo smiled and said, "It's hard to imagine that at the meeting of the Supreme Command, you were The one who opposes this plan the most."
"As a soldier, I will put forward my own opinions. This is my responsibility. And when the leader makes a decision, I will also implement the leader's decision. This is also my responsibility!" Matt Horner said.
"Have you never thought that Lord Tang Xiao's decision might be wrong?" Zemo asked with an incomprehensible smile, "Is it also your duty to implement wrong decisions? You know, as a navy Commander-in-Chief, every move you make represents the entire navy of the Dawn Principality."
Matt Horner glanced at Zemo and said coldly: "It depends on who the leader is. The current Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao, I am willing to follow his footsteps. Okay, don't talk nonsense with me in circles. , let’s get to the point, why are you looking for me?”
The smile on Helmut Zemo's face became strange. He paused for a while and then said: "Actually, the Intelligence Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Principality of Dawn are seriously considering a possibility - about Volgog Governor Le Canidi, the possibility of rebellion."
"Anyone who knows anything about Canidy should understand that this is nonsense!" Matt Horner said coldly.
"So, this is the difference between my work and yours, Admiral Horner." Helmut Zemo said: "The only thing I think about is human nature..."
