Colonel, is it really fragrant today?

Lieutenant General Manny looked at Dane's face, closed his eyes, and said in a slow and heavy voice: "Yevil, this rescue mission is not mandatory, you can choose to refuse, but if you choose to accept it, then you must accept it." Understand that the base will not send any additional personnel, and all consequences will be borne by you.”

Dane hardly thought about it, stood at attention and saluted, and said to Lieutenant General Manny: "I understand, I accept the task."

Lieutenant General Manny took a slow breath, without persuading him, he just patted Dane on the shoulder, as if promising but also as comforting: "Good boy, you won't be just a lieutenant anymore when you come back."

The rescue plan was implemented immediately. Before Dane set off, he received a call from Osborn, who hadn't seen him for more than half a year, asking Dane to promise to save Andrew and Corey no matter what. Dane hung up the phone without agreeing. The outcome of the rescue mission is entirely up to God.

There are two other people in the same company, both of whom were specially selected by Lieutenant General Manny, in order to save people as much as possible when Dane was in control of the ship. En a warning: "Don't try to save people, once you receive an order to evacuate, you must evacuate immediately. I don't want unnecessary sacrifices."

"Yes, Lieutenant General." Dane accepted the order with a solemn expression.

Under the watchful eyes of the base, the ship carrying out the rescue plan flew into the interstellar space. Dane was tense and watched the changes of various indices closely. The first thing he had to do was to avoid all the monitors and the enemy troops surrounding him. Go to the back of the opponent, and then wait silently for the opportunity to approach the trapped ship.The other two on the rescue ship remained silent, trying not to make any noise, so as not to disturb Dane's thoughts.

The shielding device of the trapped ship can last for another six hours when the distress signal is sent out. Although there is no time wasted from sending out the distress signal to Dane's departure, there is still an hour's interval between when Dane arrives at the ship and is trapped. It takes two hours and 10 minutes for the location, so the total waiting time is only two hours and 10 minutes. It seems that there is plenty of time, but this is under the condition that everything goes well. Once Dane is in the two hours If you can't find a suitable time to approach the trapped ship to execute the rescue plan within 10 minutes, then you can only return without success, and the trapped ship will be found immediately.

When Dane was about to approach the enemy army, he found that the whole plan was more difficult than expected, because the trapped aircraft had opened the shielding device, and the enemy could not intercept anything of value if they could not confirm the location, but the information was accurate, they It was impossible to just give up, so he was waiting, but it was exaggerated to send so many people, Dane frowned slightly, just a ship would not attract the enemy to mobilize their troops.

Lieutenant General Manny's voice came from the device, and he answered the confusion for Dane: "There are important documents on the trapped ship. After arriving at the trapped ship, the first step is to retrieve the documents. If necessary, you can Destroy, destroy the trapped aircraft if the rescue mission cannot be performed, and ensure that the documents will not fall into the hands of the enemy.”

Dane did not expect the rescue plan to become like this at all. Whether Lieutenant General Manny knew about the existence of the document did not allow Dane to think about it. Now that he has accepted the mission, he must obey all orders. Unable to carry out the rescue mission, he had to destroy the trapped ship, so what was the fact waiting for him after returning home? Dane didn't have time to think about it. The soldier's instinct made him answer the next moment when Lieutenant General Manny issued an order. yes.

The subsequent process was not smooth. The enemy obviously knew that this team of combat personnel was carrying important documents, and the defense was very tight. Within two hours, Dane had not been able to find a suitable opportunity, waiting for the other two to accept the mission. When it came to the command to load the shells, Dane's expression remained unchanged, and he was still calmly staring at the enemy's various movements. There were still 10 to [-] minutes, as long as he passed through two layers of defense, he could successfully rescue the trapped people.

The people in the base command center are not as calm as Dane. Lieutenant General Manny knows that Dane is still waiting for an opportunity, but even if there is a time gap in the remaining 10 minutes, he cannot save all the trapped people. It was too late, and the families of several of the trapped people held very important positions in the military. Who would be rescued could only be decided in seconds, and it could not be decided by Dane, but if there were victims among the few The things Dane will face after his return will be very complicated. If Manny is allowed to choose in the future, he hopes that Dane will not find a chance in the next 10 minutes and will destroy the trapped ship as planned after staying still. Those things don't need to be faced by Dane, but Lieutenant General Manny will explain to the leaders of several families one by one.

However, the development of things is always unexpected. After 15 minutes, Dane still did not find a suitable opportunity. There is still 5 minutes left, even if there is a chance, it does not make much sense. Lieutenant General Manny just asked Dane to destroy the trapped ship. After receiving the order, the battleship that had remained unmoved for more than two hours moved. Dane bypassed the two enemy defenses at an extremely fast speed.

Because the trapped ship cannot reveal its position, and the shielding device cannot be accurately positioned, Dane can only use the data sent back to the base as a benchmark. After three attempts to locate, the two warships successfully docked, but the time is limited. With 2 minutes left, Dane had to retreat within 30 minute and [-] seconds considering the distance to retreat.

After connecting the channel, Dane quickly opened the hatch on the right side of the stern of the battleship, and the rest of the work was handed over to the other two on the battleship. Dane's eyes were always focused on the display screen in front of him.

The plan to transfer the trapped people was not smooth, and there was not enough time. Dane could only keep it until the last second, but the enemy army temporarily changed the surveillance strategy. I don't know if it was because there was no harvest for a long time or because something was discovered. , more than half of the enemy ships surrounded him from all sides, he couldn't wait another minute and 30 seconds, Dane estimated the seconds in his heart, and persisted until the end within the retreatable time, after confirming that the file was successfully transferred, he cut off the two The contact between the two warships was quickly evacuated with the rescued personnel.

After 50 seconds, the trapped aircraft was completely exposed in front of the enemy, and successfully drew the attention of Dane. Dane escaped smoothly all the way and withdrew from the dangerous distance without any risk. Until now, Dane has no real meaning. It's a little more relaxed.

The rescued personnel in the ship cabin were silent, no one spoke, and some even fainted the moment the huge pressure of life and death was removed.

Dane didn't know anything about what happened in the ship's cabin, not even how many people were rescued. It wasn't until he drove the battleship back to the front-line base that he learned from the people who responded to him that he was going this time. Successfully evacuated two-thirds of the personnel.

Lieutenant General Manny met Dane immediately, "It's unexpected to be able to save so many people. This time the rescue mission was overfulfilled, so you don't have to feel pressured."

Dane nodded and didn't express any opinion on this, but asked before leaving: "Andrew and Corey, are they in it?"

Lieutenant General Manny's expression was a bit complicated, with a hint of guilt mixed with regret, and regretted: "I'm sorry, your two brothers were at the exit of the other hatch of the trapped ship, so they didn't go with you return."

Seeing that Dane did not speak, Lieutenant General Manny guessed that he must be very embarrassed at the moment. Lieutenant General Manny still heard about Dane's life experience even though he had been on the front line all year round, so he comforted him: "I will go to Admiral Osborne's place." Go and explain it yourself, you don’t have to worry, you don’t have to care about anything after that, I will report it at the military meeting.”

"Thank you, General." Dane paid a military salute, turned around and left, two consecutive long and high-pressure missions could not hold on even with his iron body, and now Dane had no extra thoughts other than wanting to rest.

A week later, Dane was promoted from lieutenant to major. No one in the base envied Dane's rapid promotion. Those who can complete the rescue plan should be treated like this. Dane had been mentally prepared and reacted well. He was mediocre, and he didn't appear too happy. Those who came to congratulate Dane thought that Dane was blaming himself for not being able to save Andrew and Corey, so he took advantage of the situation to comfort him and left wisely.

But what Dane didn't expect was that he met Theodore at the base on the second day after he became a major. The two hadn't seen each other for several days. It happened that Dane had no mission that day, so he went directly to the entertainment place of the base.

Theodore looked around, and said strangely: "I didn't expect you to have such a bar on the front line, which is several times happier than the military headquarters on the main planet. No wonder you stayed at the front line and refused to go back. It turned out to be the reason " After finishing speaking, Theodore raised his eyebrows at several beautiful officers not far away, and smiled suggestively at Dane.

"The pressure of fighting on the front line is greater than yours. How can you relieve the pressure without such a place?" Dane skillfully asked the bartender for two bottles of wine, handed one to Theodore, and asked, "How did you come back to the front line?" , Marshal has a mission for you?"

Theodore took a sip following Dane's example. The slightly strong alcohol irritated Theodore's throat, causing him to frown. He put down the bottle unaccustomed, and explained: "I also have a vacation, so I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you, and I haven't been to the frontline base once, so I happened to visit it by the way, by the way, congratulations on your promotion to major."

Dane smiled and didn't continue the conversation, but asked Theodore: "How is the executive doing?"

"It's okay, it's a little different from what I imagined before, but it's still within the acceptable range, so it can be said that the dream has not been shattered." Theodore laughed at himself, and added: "But the executive officer who is the marshal is the biggest. The biggest advantage is that you can know some inside stories that others don't know."
