Chapter 145: The Battle (Part 2)
Although they are unwilling to face it, the facts are in front of them. Once the vanguard retreats, they will definitely be ambushed by pirates. Even if the two fleets meet, they are facing the dilemma of energy shortage. The pirates have plenty of time to destroy the refinery, and the joint fleet can only return to the base first. The lured pirates will escape again. The previous efforts are in vain and this expedition ends with a defeat.
Most of the bandit suppression in the past returned in vain. The media cooperated a little and could be more reassuring. If the troops were withdrawn in such a shame, it would be hard to say.
"What does Marshal mean?" Monte completely lost his claim.
"In the past, pirates did not dare to fight, and they hid from all over the world. The bandit suppression operations always returned in vain. Now the pirates are on the verge of fighting, and the dignified Black Dragon Legion is afraid of fighting. Are you afraid of a few groups of pirates? What should you do? "Don't look at Monte as a lieutenant general, after all, he is Lu Beiyan's subordinate. Everyone knows the temper of Marshal Lu. He never shows mercy and does not look at military ranks.
From another perspective, the biggest difficulty in dealing with pirates is that they cannot be found. If you can't even ask for a head-on battle, how can you get back? What's important is that Lu Beiyan's appearance could have brought confidence to the officials, but the same dilemma now seems insignificant.
The command center issued three orders in one go.
The first step was that the former battalion commander Li Sibu withdrew from command due to injury. The battalion commander took over the position of the battalion commander. After adjustment, he quickly rushed to Old William's refinery.
Of course this is what Lu Beiyan meant. He was worried that his son-in-law would not stand up. Since Chen Fang took the initiative to stand up, he could never let it go.
As for Li Sibu, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he was temporarily dismissed from his post. No matter how severe the injury is, it can be cured within two hours. Why do you need to change generals in the last battle? The commander didn't even ask about his strange injuries, which was enough to explain everything.
The second order was to issue a "get rid of the entanglement with the pirates as soon as possible and rush to Kado Blue Star to support it."
The third order was issued to the Pioneer Fleet, stopped feinting and rushed to Kadolan at full speed.
The Second Fleet's actions remain unchanged and swept the targets locked by the Ghost Eye according to the scheduled plan.
After the order was issued, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As the commander, Monte still had a little concern and reminded: "Marson, it is still impossible to determine whether the refinery is intact. Even if it is intact, it may be a trap left by the pirates. The vanguard fleet will take two days to arrive at Kadolan. Since the pirates have set their sights on the refinery, they will inevitably destroy them at all costs. The subordinates are worried that the strength of one battalion alone may not be enough to persevere until reinforcements arrive."
Lu Beiyan touched his chin and said coldly: "So what about the trap? If they dare to stay, I can take it over! Do you have no confidence in your ace troops? At least there are more than 40 refineries. Even if they are destroyed, will the equipment be sent back to the furnace? Pack the parts, piece them together, and create two sets of useful equipment, right? The experts in the army are all vegetarians? But this is all a matter of later. Only those known equipment can be seen and touched, and they must be kept at all costs."
Monte nodded repeatedly: "The Marshal is far-sighted, which really makes his subordinates ashamed."
Lu Beiyan took a breath of air conditioning and frowned and said, "Monte, you were not like this before, why! The military rank is getting higher and higher, but your courage is getting smaller. If this continues, you don't have to stay in the army. Transfer it to the military headquarters. That place is comfortable and suitable for elderly care."
The fleet encountered difficulties, but Lu Beiyan was in a good mood. While scolding Monte, he was secretly happy in his heart.
The son-in-law was in the limelight this time. The most difficult thing in the army is the first step. The most feared thing is that he has no military achievements. As long as he has a beautiful military achievements, he can show off his life. Moreover, with him, the father-in-law who is a marshal, promoting an individual is not a piece of cake. Military achievements are nothing more than an excuse. What makes him happiest is because he has seen Chen Fang's ability.
It is not uncommon to know in advance that Kadolan's situation is not uncommon. Chen Jian won Li Sibu to the point where he appreciated the most. If the military information was not urgent, he would have told his daughter the good news at this time.
Ten minutes later, Lu Beiyan sneaked out of the command room.
Seeing his father's cheerful boasting son-in-law, Lu Lingxue couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Beiyan finally noticed his daughter's giggle and glared fiercely.
"My father led his troops to win the battle, and he was never so excited." Lu Lingxue's pleasing sarcasm not only did not anger his father, but instead made Lu Beiyan happy.
"What do women know? As long as they can defend the refinery, no matter how successful or failure the bandit suppression is, becoming famous in one battle is destined." Lu Beiyan rolled his eyes.
"Will he be in danger if a battalion guards a refinery?" Lu Lingxue took advantage of the opportunity to ask.
"You young people don't know that the world is high, and you don't think about it. Can your grandfather leave him in the military camp with confidence? He has already transferred people to protect him. Even if he can't defend the refinery, it will be a problem to escape without any problems. Even if this kid is determined to fight to the death, I can't let my son-in-law be suspected. But it's right to care about my husband. I have to persist in the future. You two will keep it first, and I will go to explore the news." Lu Beiyan threw down his embarrassing daughter and went back to the command room.
Monte couldn't wait to report and sent the outer mirror image of the Second Battalion ship back to the command post in real time, including the image of the ship's command cabin, to understand the every move of the troops and the situation they face in time so as to make instructions immediately. Lu Beiyan certainly would not object, let alone let the people in the command center see it, and let the officers and soldiers of the entire legion see it.
The two on the ship knew nothing about this and everything was as usual.
"It's very high-pitched to win the handsome guy in the last battle." Li Qing said with a smile.
"I had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted." Chen Fang sighed lightly. Although he repeatedly gave in, he did not want to argue with Li Sibu, but he did not want to show off. He knew his father-in-law's kindness, but unfortunately he had no blessing to endure it. Now, Li Sibu has received treatment and can be cured in less than two hours.
"Don't get me wrong, this is not sarcasm. You let me see a good show. I am looking forward to your performance. What plans are there next?" It can be seen that Li Qing is quite satisfied with the change of the chief officer. When Li Sibu was in charge, she almost never spoke.
In the command room, Lu Beiyan couldn't help but frown when he heard this conversation. The son-in-law is indeed very good, but because of his excellence, there will be women chasing him. Back then, the women who pursued him were also voted by one vote. It is not easy for men to refuse such things. It seems that they will have to pay attention to this aspect in the future.
"Let's go to Old William's refinery first and then talk about it." Chen Fang thought about the plan secretly.
"How familiar are you?" The clever Li Qing immediately heard the implicit sound.
"I can't say that I'm familiar with each other, I've had a friendship." Chen Fang answered vaguely.
"Oh, what kind of friendship? I heard that you were a mercenary before. He hired you?" Li Qing made a bold guess.
"There is someone else who hired me. I discussed with the employer to transport the Kadolan crystal oil outside and sell it for a good price, and then I found him." Chen Fang laughed.
"So you know, Kadolan is only his refinery, it sounds like you've made a fortune." Li Qing chuckled.
"The profit is indeed considerable. If nothing unexpected happens, you can make at least ten times the profit." Chen Fang bluntly told the secret, and he would not do it again in the future.
"Ordinary business cannot have such exaggerated profits unless it is illegal. You can traffic in crystal oil without official use. This is a smuggling act." Li Qing originally wanted to have a stern face, but she laughed out loud.
"At that time, the official people had already withdrawn." Chen Fangman explained indifferently.
The two of them asked and answered questions without realizing it. The commanders of the command room couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, the new second battalion commander was very interesting and had a lot of experience. However, no one dared to laugh. Now the fleet is in a difficult situation, and the marshal is even more ill-faced, and no one dares to touch this bad luck.
The only person who didn't want to laugh was Lu Beiyan. That night, his son-in-law mentioned the matter of Kadolan, but the private trafficking of crystal oil was concealed, only saying it was an escort mission. Smuggling crystal oil was not a big deal for the Legion, but it was not glorious. How could Lu Beiyan's son-in-law do such a shameful thing?
Before nightfall, the ship arrived at Old William's refinery. From a distance, the commanders breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Fang decisively issued an order to implement chaotic frequency wave coverage on the refinery.
"Do you suspect there is something wrong with the refinery?" Li Qing couldn't help but feel nervous. As the name suggests, the function of chaotic frequency waves is to interfere with wireless signals beyond recognition. Limited transmission without protection will be damaged. Any wireless signals within the coverage of chaotic frequency waves will fail, including remote-controlled bombs.
"When you arrive in such a ghost place, you can live a year more with multiple minds." After speaking, Chen Fang sent half of the troops out, logged all the long-range mechas into the mechas, and found a suitable sniper point as a warning.
The responsible for the striking mecha was to control all the staff in the refinery with the fastest speed. If you encounter suspicious personality killing, Chen Fang still solemnly explained it, with the intention of raising their vigilance. This is not a routine matter. He knew very well that there were indeed pirate spies mixed with Old William's workers.
