Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!
Chapter 424 06.0423: ‘New Assistant Secretary’
"Miss, sir, welcome back."
At Alexander Hood's official residence, the hovercraft assigned to Horatio by the Navy Department stopped at the landing platform at the main entrance of Farida's mansion.
The old butler led the maids to line up neatly and stood on the platform early to welcome the two back.
"And congratulations on your promotion, Major. If Admiral Hood is still awake, he will be very pleased to see such a young and promising you."
"Thank you for taking care of the unconscious Admiral Hood for so long, old butler."
"I don't deserve it. This is what I should do."
During the greetings, the old butler personally opened the car door for Horatio.
Horatio wore a naval officer's uniform that was urgently hand-made based on the sample uniform with the joint efforts of all the tailors in the store, and strode out of the car with his head held high.
He looked at the tall and luxurious mansion in front of him and adjusted the Order of the Eagle of Valor tied to his collar.
It was still this place, the official residence that amazed him at first.
He experienced four identities here.
From the first imperial death row prisoner who sneaked in secretly and had to hide from the guards.
Then he was the sergeant major of the Navy Zhongzi Academy who was finally able to go through the back door openly.
After going through the twists and turns of his career as a candidate officer, he was able to walk into the door with his head held high.
Now, when he came back here again, he came to the official residence of this prominent naval family as an imperial naval officer and captain.
He envied such a huge manor at the beginning, but now he regards it as his own home and can come and go at will. He once indulged in the boudoir of the elegant girl full of fragrance and had a passionate battle with this beautiful and powerful flower, the daughter of the Navy Vice Admiral.
He took a deep breath of the air filled with the fragrance of pink roses, and put the fatigue of the journey back to Far Star behind him.
"Dear, welcome back." Farida was still wearing the military prison uniform, but she was not as reserved and serious as she was in front of outsiders. She chuckled and trotted, and directly bumped into his arms, hugged his arms, and pressed the front of her taut uniform against it, saying softly and charmingly.
He would not stay in Abyss Port for too long on this return voyage.
Therefore, Horatio did not plan to consider the issue of his mansion here.
Taking this opportunity, and also considering the dignity of "rescuing dear from those little vixens", Farida took Horatio back to her own home.
Although she thought so, for Horatio, it was all consuming kidney energy, so was there much difference in the order before and after?
The difference between injecting all into one person multiple times a day and injecting into multiple people multiple times a day.
And Farida had actually started to think crookedly.
Once, he found that she took the initiative to say that she would help him put it on with her mouth.
Later, he found that there was a hole at the front.
If he hadn't had the habit of checking the airtightness before each expedition, he would have fallen for her trick. Ten months later, the scene of a blonde and blue-eyed baby being born seemed to be right in front of him.
It's not that he can't have children with the daughter of the navy general now.
But after all, facing the second Damocles Gulf Expedition, this great war, he is the first captain and he still wants to spend more energy and thoughts on preparing for the war.
"I can live here before I go, but I'm not allowed to use tricks."
"Of course I know! Preparation for the war comes first. I am the Navy Supervisor, the upright and righteous Epic Supervisor! Can you not think I am so cunning and dissolute?"
"Of course, Your Excellency the Supervisor." Horatio shrugged, put his hand on her round left shoulder, and stretched out his fingers to boldly rub her golden hair.
This is a bold act that can only be done in Hood's official residence in front of everyone. The captain of the warship and the military supervisor on the warship are lovers, but it is a secret that must not be known to outsiders.
Farida pouted and curled her lips slightly in dissatisfaction, then she smiled wickedly, raised her smile, looked at him and said with a smile: "So, my dear, before eating, do you take a shower first? Or first~"
"Why can't you try both?" Before she finished speaking, he took the blonde beauty in his arms and walked towards the luxurious mansion built of white marble.
Vegas District.
"Salute to His Excellency the Tribune of the Navy!"
A row of red-coated naval infantrymen saluted the man who came down from the Navy Department's floating vehicle at the command of the sergeant.
Since Vegas' social problems have been relatively compromised, the Imperial Navy and the Holy Rose Sisters have armed and controlled this administrative area,
But Horatio heard that this place, especially the area near the lower nest, is still not peaceful.
The Mechanicus seemed to be still tinkering with something.
In the past year, the order here was quite good. It was said that Yin Shuyao's cousin was a very thoughtful senator who temporarily eased the class contradictions in the Vegas District through mediation.
But it was unknown how long this situation could last.
However, although he was a tribune before, he did not have time to make major changes to this area, and to explore the secrets under the ground of this mysterious planet that was completely built by humans.
Using the resources of the Vegas District to build an attack squadron was his main task at the moment.
He jumped out of the hovercraft, raised his hand to greet the soldiers, and then strode into the naval station building at the junction of the middle and upper nests. This dedicated office area spanned the ground and underground.
The upper and lower offices are connected to the upper and lower nest civilians in Vegas respectively.
In a year, this government hall was decorated in a decent manner, and the decoration still adopted the Victorian style of the Navy Department.
Led by the servants of the Ministry of the Interior, he came to his office.
The guard in front of the door respectfully opened the door for him.
This room is located in the upper nest of the surface. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow users to enjoy the warm stellar sunlight.
The whole office is also filled with the light fragrance of wood and paper and ink.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a girl tidying up his desk.
"Mr. Cochran?!" The girl looked up and saw the visitor, a little surprised.
"Miss Yin, why are you here." He took off his hat and hung it on the coat rack.
"It's a professional internship in the graduate school. We have to do a long period of practical internship before we can graduate. I am now an assistant secretary in the Vegas Administrative Office. I just came today. Are you the new tribune?"
"Yes, I am now a lieutenant commander in the navy. I came to the Vegas area to prepare for the next expedition. Well, don't be so restrained. I don't remember you being so restrained before."
He took a cup of warm ginger tea from the servant and said while drinking.
"You are the captain?" The girl blinked in a strange way, looking at the young man in front of her who was younger than her in disbelief.
She had never heard of such a young officer. Horatio might be the youngest officer in her life, no, it is very likely to be the youngest officer in the history of the Gothic Fleet.
"Yes, not only the captain, but also the commander of a squadron of boats. But everything has to start from scratch, crossing the river by feeling the stones, and be prepared. We may be very busy next."
"At your service! Major! I will perform my duties as an assistant secretary well."
"Very good, I will hold a meeting here next, and you will be responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting."
"No problem!" Facing the first job assigned by her boss, this girl who was born as a civilian seemed very motivated.
As a major commander, Horatio first met with his five naval captains on his first day in office.
These five people are the captains of the attack ships of the squadron under his command. They were all transferred from escort ships and destroyers. On average, each of them has 8 years of experience as a lieutenant and is very good at commanding such small warships.
Through the brief communication and understanding between superiors and subordinates, Horatio's brain never stopped, and he constantly improved his tactical ideas through the excellent experience of others.
Although the E-type attack ship looks like an oversized attack submarine.
But it cannot be said that there is no connection between void combat and surface combat, it can only be said that the difference is too great.
The enemy is not like surface ships, which can only search for enemies through various detection methods restricted by water bodies, and cannot dive to find people.
The void is essentially an oversized ocean,
and all ships are equivalent to submarines in this ocean.
If it is a similar theory, Horatio can only think of the sea battles between nuclear submarines on Blue Star.
But whether he can apply relevant experience, he needs to get verification from the parties who have fought against the Titanium.
"Your opinions are very good. Who among you has fought against the Titanium? Please talk about it. You can speak freely without worrying."
"I." A captain with a burn scar on his face stood up and said after a pause.
"They are completely different now than they were two or three hundred years ago. The Imperial Navy is losing its advantage against them."
As soon as this was said, the other captains looked at this person with stunned faces.
Fortunately, there was no military supervisor nearby, otherwise, if such remarks were made outside, he would definitely be dismissed before boarding the ship and investigated whether he had accepted 500,000 titanium'ova from the Titanium.
Especially from his words, it seems that he seriously regards the Titanium as a difficult threat to deal with.
This is a very "politically incorrect" point of view.
"You can speak freely, Captain Pierre." Horatio's eyes lit up, and he wanted to hear why the other party made such a statement.
