Chapter 80 Saying Heroes Who Are Heroes Part 1
Star Alliance's headquarters is located in the Big Arctic Space Station.
"General...", "General!"
When General Hackett, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy, walked through the corridor of the space station with a stern face. Many officers who were walking immediately took a respectful way to the side, stood attentively and paid tribute to the general. General Hackett simply nodded, then quickly walked through the spacious hall and walked towards the room at the end of the corridor.
"General", a second lieutenant in a military police uniform stood in front of General Hackett. However, when General Hackett's accusing eyes turned to him, under tremendous pressure, the second lieutenant had to let the road open, and respectfully helped General Hackett open the door of the room.
This is the Star Alliance Naval Military Court. Today is the non-public trial day, and many people are waiting in line for the waiting judge. Although these soldiers come to this court, they are destined to be punished. However, due to the quality of the soldiers, they are still neatly arranged in a row and moving forward in an orderly manner.
The judge sat behind a low table, without raising his head, and let the person who came to him report his identity by himself. After he confirmed that the files were correct, he made corresponding punishments according to the regulations - no appeals, no debates, and the military courts were as simple and crude as ever - this has been the case for hundreds of years. Most of the punished people showed a very painful expression when they heard the result, but they almost accepted it - because here, not accepting the punishment results and finding a lawyer are unpopular behaviors.
What's more, I don't know what happened today, but an admiral took his adjutant and sat in the empty and deserted auditorium!
When General Hackett walked in, he first turned his attention to the waiting team of trials over there, and then easily found the only woman inside - Li Huamei. She seemed to have no emotions, but she was expressionless and moved forward with the team - but General Hackett knew that waiting for her punishment would be to expel the military! Criminal responsibility is pursued! Very serious...
General Hackett originally did not want to interfere with the Second Fleet, but the story about "Luiz's Children" that Lu Yuan told completely touched him!
"General!". Be the first to salute. Not only because General Dresser's class is higher than him, but also because he had served in the Second Fleet for a long time - he was his old superior.
When he followed General Dresser to participate in the "First Contact War", Hackett himself was still a second lieutenant. Twenty years later, Hackett, who had entered the middle-aged and elderly, finally entered the ranks of generals. He was already gray-haired. Although he was 89 years old, he was still the commander of the fleet. But everyone knew... he was not far from retirement.
"Hatchet..." The old man saw General Hackett, nodded and said hello. He had too much experience in the Star Alliance Navy, and there were not many people who could get him up from his seat - not to mention that General Dresser led the Second Fleet to raid Turui's patrol fleet, turning the "first contact battle" overturned the "first contact battle"! The old man had a strong prestige in the army! "Why are you here?"
General Hackett took a deep breath and said directly, "I am here to ask you to reconsider the punishment of Corporal Li Huamei, allow him to retain his military status, and exempt him from criminal responsibility..."
"Impossible!" The old man waved his hand in disgust without thinking and interrupted General Hackett's words! "Don't tell me these. I believe the law is fair!" - Justice! If he really believes that the court can make a fair judgment, then Duncan should be in the queue of those awaiting trial! And why should you sit here and put pressure on the judge!?
General Hackett put down his hand a little annoyed. However, when he saw the old man's gray hair, he remembered the last...that suddenly appeared...the terrifying words. He was still ready to suppress the anger in his heart and fight for Lu Yuan.
But he only saw the old man wave his hand, "Since you are here, sit down first! I have something to do..."
When Hackett sat down beside him, he said without looking directly at General Hackett, "Hackt, Duncan has done a good job recently...? Come and be Duncan's recommendation."
General Hackett suddenly felt angry! Are you treating me like a subordinate?! He respects his old superiors, which is politeness he knows! He knows how to be grateful! But if the other party regards these as capital, he will absolutely not tolerate it! - As the commander of the Fifth Fleet, who is on par with the commander of the Second Fleet, General Hackett, although his rank is slightly lower, represents the entire fleet, and his authority is not allowed to be provoked!
If General Dresser used this recommendation as a condition for exchange for Li Huamei, he might have considered it seriously - but now, it is absolutely impossible!
"I will be a co-recommendator for Anderson's candidates," Hackett directly rejected General Dresser's unreasonable request. "Duncan... I will not recommend him even if he passes the N7 training!"
"Hmph!", don't pay attention to Hackett anymore.
"An ungrateful guy..." General Dresse muttered loudly, without hiding his hostility to Hackett at this moment. The adjutant of the general stood behind him in embarrassment. He did not dare to persuade or listen to the matters of the two generals... It was so painful.
General Hackett sat there as if he hadn't heard those words, remembering many past events.
Speaking of which, because of his busy military affairs, he had not communicated with General Dresser for about seven or eight years.
Twenty years have passed by the "First Contact War"... The clear and wise eyes of the past now appear yellow and turbid, and their eyes are constantly wandering like a patient... Hackett sighed softly, and the resolute general who launched the raid was now only arrogant and rude and stubborn. And his son who thought he was perfect, had long heard rumors that the father and son wanted to turn the Second Fleet into a son's stepfather's business, so General Dreshe insisted on retiring.
"General, your communication..." At this time, the sudden communication was connected to save General Dresser's adjutant. He bent down and reported gently in the general's ear, interrupting the general's insult.
"who?"
"."
"Come in. Eighty times I came to praise Duncan to me, but Duncan saved his life..."
Unfortunately, not long after, Hackett heard General Dresser's voice suddenly rise high, and shouted angrily. "What, are you here to plead for that Bichi?! Are you old and confused?! Pay attention to your duty, former! - Major General!"
General Dresser didn't care that this place was a quiet court, and he was clamoring on his own! And after saying that "former major general" with a strong sense of sarcasm, he angrily cut off the communication! The more unreasonable it is, the more unreasonable it is!
Seeing the judge's clenched fist, Hackett sighed silently and silently changed himself to a position away from General Dresser. Although Major General Grisom had not yet reached the top when he retired. However, as the first hero of Star League, his prestige was definitely not comparable to that of Casternie!
He was actually ridiculed as "former major general!" The old man was so angry that he didn't know what he was going to be angry at this time! Sure enough, before a minute had passed, the communicator of Hackett and Adjutant Dresser rang out at the same time.
Hackett looked at the letter he received and after learning what had happened, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Grisom seemed to be really angry...
Over there, after reading the information, General Dresse's adjutant cried and came to General Casternie in a vain and said in his ear, "Sir, you have been removed from the Officers' Club..."
Castene jumped up in anger, "A place where I'm chatting, did he think I'd care?" Then the general started to storm at the judge, "Why haven't you arrived yet?? Do you think I have time to waste a whole day here??"
General Hackett, who was sitting in the distance, shook his head slightly, and at this time he completely entered the role of watching coldly. Although he had served under General Dresser, he received a promotion only after leaving the Second Fleet - there was no "grace of knowing one's grace" between the two.
As a private contact location, the Officer Club is very important! This is true for both active and retired officers... The members included all the generals, and the connections covered were so big! Originally, as the general with the highest rank of active duty, General Dresser was the least likely to be fired.
But his sentence - "Are you old and confused?! Pay attention to your duty, former! - Major General!" - is too lethal! After being sent to each member by Grisom, this sentence was enough to arouse the anger of every retired person. So with the collective consent of the initiator, General Dresse became the first general to be removed from the "Officers Club"!
At this time, Hackett noticed that it seemed that General Dresser had received another communication, and the result was also dissatisfied!
General Dresser pushed his adjutant away fiercely, walked to General Hackett with great strides, staring at him and shouting, "A few days ago, those Chinese people pleaded for this Bichi, and I felt that something was wrong! Today I saw you and that old bastard of Grisom come to interfere with the judgment. Just now... the people from the Military Research Institute dared to call here too!
What do you want to do?! Who do you think you are?! This star couplet is not your world!" Admiral Dresser slapped his gun holster hard, "I'll sit here today! Let's see who dares to turn the world!" (To be continued)
