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 Annaj Planet.
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 are not 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 3175 meters is the new generation aircraft carrier of Duchy of Dawn, Consul-class aircraft carrier!
Consul-class aircraft carrier is the latest research result of Salarian Ship Research Center. After a long period of testing and verification, two trial prototype aircraft ships finally came off the production line and began actual combat testing.
Therefore, during this time period, those who are qualified to use the Consul-class aircraft carrier as their own ship are undoubtedly the most powerful and powerful people among the Duchy of Dawn.
"General, we have arrived at Annaj Planet." In this Consul-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 the alert mode. First, everyone should enter the predetermined defense area, and then enter the berths one by one! No confusion is allowed!" Matt-Hona 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 come to Annaj Planet, not for a vacation! 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-Hona said.
"Yes!" The adjutant stood at attention again and saluted, but then he frowned and said, "But general... isn't Annaj Planet in the rear?"
Matt-Hona glanced at him and said coldly, "Before departure, I have already discussed this topic in the army meeting. The order of a soldier is to obey! Since the order asks us to come to defend, then we cannot come here for a vacation!"
"Yes!" the adjutant puffed up his chest and responded loudly.
Matt-Hona habitually raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then said, "Inform the entire army that Dawn Star Planet will conduct a practical drill at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning standard time!"
"Yes!"
At this time, the communications soldier came over and said, "General, Helmut-Zemo's chief assistant is on the secret channel."
"Answer." Matt-Hona 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 successfully, General Matt-Hona." What appeared in the holographic projection was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with meticulously styled hair, clean beard, and wearing a robe.
Helmut-Zemo, Duchy of Dawn Prime Minister of the Cabinet, are also Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao's very trusted confidants and think tanks.
When he was first awakened, he actually didn't look outstanding, and he was just an ordinary person among the crowd (Zemo uses the image in "Captain America 3" in this book). Now, with the continuous improvement of his status and the cultural influence of the current "Star Wars" universe, his style has also undergone tremendous changes.
During the development process of Dawn Star Planet, Zemo made many plans with very keen judgment and accurate understanding of human nature and psychology.
Many strategies and plans in the rise of Dawn Star Planet and even Fourth Civilization are inseparable from his work behind the scenes, and his loyalty to Tang Xiao is unquestionable. Therefore, after Duchy of Dawn was formally established and Tang Xiao was sworn in as Grand Duke of Dawn, he also bestowed the titles of Helmut-Baron Zemo.
Therefore, Zemo became a baron in real terms, and became the only person Duchy of Dawn to hold the title.
By the way, another person with a title is Professor Chi Jianjun, the founder of Fourth Civilization's scientific research work. This legend, who has a rough style, likes 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.
The late former Commander of the Navy, Igor-Zavalov, were posthumously awarded the title of baronet.
It can also be seen from here that Tang Xiao has a preference for Helmut-Zemo. It can be said that Zemo is Tang Xiao's right-hand man, which is no exaggeration.
Matt-Hona looked at Duchy of Dawn, one of the most powerful people in front of him, with an indifferent expression, and said slowly, "I will station Annaj system to ensure that everything here is foolproof. This is my promise."
"Sir Tang Xiao will be very pleased to see your current state, Admiral Horner." Helmut-Baron Zemo said with a smile, "It's hard to imagine that at the High Command meeting, you were the one who opposed 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-Hona said.
"Have you never thought that Lord Tang Xiao's decision might be wrong?" Zemo asked with an incomprehensible smile, "Is it also your responsibility to implement wrong decisions? You know, as Commander of the Navy, every move you make represents Duchy of Dawn the entire navy."
Matt-Hona glanced at Zemo and said coldly, "It depends on who the leader is. The current Grand Duke of Dawn Tang Xiao, I am willing to follow his footsteps. Okay, don't talk nonsense with me in circles, get to the point, what are you looking for me for?"
The smile on Helmut-Zemo's face became weird. He paused for a while and then said, "Actually, Duchy of Dawn Intelligence Department and Internal Affairs Department are seriously considering a possibility - about Volgograd-Governor Kanidi, the possibility of rebellion."
"Anyone who knows something about Kanidi should understand that this is nonsense!" Matt-Hona 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..."
Drunk, no more today... These chapters will by the way describe the political ecology of Fourth Civilization.
