Thousands of sparks

Chapter 57 Finn
At the request of naval officers, the movement of the convoy was temporarily halted.

If you just fight a group of traitors, it's a very easy and comfortable job.A group of armed refugees, after seeing the landing ship of the naval commando suddenly appearing in the distance, and then hearing the sound of tens of thousands of tons of metal falling freely and colliding with the ground from a height of two or three yolks, they will definitely be scared to death bold.

But the sudden appearance of the captive completely changed the judgment of the naval officers on the whole situation.If the people present were the army, maybe they would still continue to carry out the original plan and mission.Anyway, they haven't seen the living allies a few times.

But the Navy is different.

The navy of the alliance is the object that the imperial navy needs to take seriously all the year round.Once handled carelessly, the descendants of this group of rebels who defected from the empire will show their sharp fangs and tear off two pieces of flesh from the navy.

Compared to the Imperial Guard Navy, which is responsible for guarding the land, these descendants of traitors are like savages who take pleasure in killing all day long.They pilot the same well-equipped deep space ships as the Imperial Navy, but fight in a completely different way from the Imperial Navy.

The imperial navy has a long history, and it also has a very complete set of norms and systems for combat formations.Ships with small tonnage usually circle around the capital ship with a perfect posture when cruising, and adjust their positions in time according to the fleet light signals to avoid affecting the shooting angle of the capital ship.

But the Confederate Navy... they're like a bunch of lunatics.

The alliance navy has never engaged in any fleet formation and marching around.Their mode of operation is only the theory of "get close to the imperial warship and fuck a cannon".From battleships to destroyers, and even to traffic boats in the fleet, there is one route.

They would use methods that completely disregarded themselves to make the ship jump to a distance of only one or two hundred joles from the imperial battleship, and then press the launch buttons of all weapons on the ship at the same time.

If the number of ships in the alliance fleet is insufficient, or the main weapon equipped cannot penetrate the armor of the imperial warship, then they will directly select the transition point on the side armor of the imperial warship.

The most important taboo of the jump - the jump destination must not have obstacles - is a very practical armor-breaking technology in the eyes of the alliance navy.These lunatics can even create an extended cabin on the bow of their destroyer and fill it with explosives.

They will use the jump technology to transfer their hulls directly into the capital ships of the Empire.After the transmission is over, the bow of the ship will be cut off by the armor plate of the strong imperial battleship, and then fall behind the armor plate of the imperial battleship.The explosive-laden prow explodes, then completes the "armor-piercing attack".

With such a dangerous tactic, the success rate is actually not very high.In order to prevent this from happening, the capital ships of the empire will always start rapid and irregular small-scale jumps when the alliance navy appears.And strive to destroy the alliance ships as much as possible within the time period that the jump can last.

It is the consensus of the imperial army that the allies should not die in battle.

Due to the nature of naval combat, the Empire was rarely able to capture Confederate marines alive.The vast majority of prisoners of war captured in the past were Confederate troops.And now, such an alliance naval soldier actually appeared on the territory of the empire, which made the naval officers in the entire convoy nervous.

"We need to find out where he came from as soon as possible." As the highest rank among the officers present, Dushan took on the role of making the decision, "A soldier of the Allied Navy appeared on the territory of the Empire and has been lurking for an unknown period of time... It's a big deal."

Several other military officers also nodded in agreement. They all felt that the fishing operation should be terminated as soon as possible, and the suspicious Allied prisoner of war should be sent to the intelligence department for further investigation and interrogation.

Dussand had a different opinion.

"I'm not sure if this captive is worth interrogating, but one thing is for sure—he didn't infiltrate the empire recently." Armor, said several naval officers, "the scars on his arms are not recent, and the scars are repeated, and the scars heal to varying degrees-this seems to be the result of repeated bloodletting."

After seeing the prisoner, Dusand's first reaction was, "He looks like a poor man who escaped from Bosenk."

Bloodletting is an important means of catching turtle.If you just eat it by yourself, it is not impossible to use fishing rods and bait.But if they are to be caught in large quantities and then sold to Bosenk Fisheries, they must be bled to trap them.

That is to say, this Mr. captive who "has been lurking in Newsail for an unknown period of time" has been fishing with bloodletting for at least a year in exchange for money from Bosenk Fishing Company.

Put all your time and energy into fishing for money, and then just make yourself look like this.No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

If the other party is really an agent of the alliance army with a secret mission, then there is no doubt that they should look for a core city like Albin, so that they can effectively obtain military secrets, right?Hiding in this kind of seaside "settlement" and catching fish for money every day by cutting yourself and bleeding yourself, what kind of information can you get?Is it a military secret how much money Boysenk Fisheries can make?
"In my personal judgment, he is more likely to be a prisoner of war who escaped from a mine or something." Dusand continued, "The question now is focused on what purpose the tunnel dug here is for. And what force is this person serving for?"

"None of us are postmen in red with rich experience. This question can only be answered after returning to Bosenk." The lieutenant commander frowned and said, "To be on the safe side, I suggest going back."

"If you don't mind." Dusand thought for a while, and got out of his steam knight armor.He showed his coat of arms to the crowd, "Maybe I can ask first?"

"Having lived in the empire for so long, I believe you can speak the imperial language." In the carriage, Dusand sat down face to face with a tightly bound Allied prisoner of war. He tried his best to start with a gentle expression and tone. Ask, "Tell me first, what's your name?"

"Finn von Steinberg." The Allied prisoner of war answered the question very cooperatively. Apart from being frightened, there was some curiosity in his eyes. "Are you an intelligence agent? Are all the intelligence agents of the Empire as young as you?"

"I may be a special case. There are probably not many people like me in the whole empire." Dusand tried to smile, then looked around, and said to Finn in a low voice, "Look, I can tell the difference." Come out, you are probably a prisoner of war miner who escaped from a certain mine. But none of us have anything to do with mining companies. Our convoy appears here simply to distribute some relief supplies necessary for the poor to survive the winter. As long as If I can prove that you have no malice, I can release you. Then you go on living your life of freedom while we continue our mission."

Finn glanced at Dusand, then smiled wryly, "It's useless. Even if you came to help the poor, but those imperial navy dogs saw my service tattoo, they couldn't let me go."

His father was also scolded as a dog, but Du Sande was not very angry.His goal now is to pry information from the other party as soon as possible, and other questions can be put aside for later.

"At least, I have to find a way to keep you alive." Du Sande decided to use his own age to find a way, "You shouldn't be acting alone, right? I'll let the logistics carriage come out alone Locking you up - your accomplices can get you out just by opening the car door."

"Accomplices? I don't have any accomplices. I escaped from the mine half a year ago." Finn shook his head, and then said dejectedly, "Few people can escape from the mine. I have always lived here alone. .”

"I have always firmly believed that people should be equal." Dusand still did not give up his efforts. He patted Finn's shoulder covered with dirt, oil and sweat, and said, "No matter what you have done, The work in the mine and the current life have repaid all your debts. Just looking at the convoy is not a reason to deprive you of your life, I will find a way to let you live." After finishing speaking, he left carriage.

"This guy is very hard-spoken, he must have accomplices nearby." Dusand, who completed the preliminary interrogation, conveyed his preliminary judgment to the officers, "I suggest that the operation be terminated immediately, call the landing ship, and then evacuate immediately. "

Finn didn't say a word of truth. He was very fluent in the Imperial language, and he could understand the very uncommon vocabulary of "relief supplies"—how could it be possible for the Allied soldiers who had escaped from the Empire's mines for half a year to send the Empire Can you master the language to this extent?
And he also knows how to catch turtle, and he has no fear of death.Not even responding to Dusande's hint "I can save you".

Dusand was quite sure that there were Finn's accomplices around here.And it is very likely that they will launch an attack on the convoy in a short time.

For safety reasons, they must react immediately, abort the mission and evacuate to the landing ship.
