Mecha and Knife

Chen Xun and others are still in the shock of what Liu Mian said just now: All 62 employees of Xinfengcheng Auto Repair Factory, as well as 13 relatives, have signed up to join the army...

Qin Tong glanced at Chen Xun, saw that Chen Xun was expressionless and did not respond, so he got up.

"Captain, when are we going to leave?"

The sound of chairs being pushed kept ringing. Harris, the blind man, the lame man, Su Chuanyun, the left hand...all got up, waiting for the order from Ji Xinghe.

Tu Yuan, who was sitting on the main seat, was ignored by them.

But there was one member of the Xinghe team who didn't get up, Chen Xun, Chief of Staff of the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps.

So he attracted everyone's attention.

"Chen Xun." Tu Yuan looked at Chen Xun and asked, "Do you have any different opinions?"

This question should be asked by Ji Xinghe, but Ji Xinghe didn't ask.

"Yes."

Chen Xun, who was questioned by Tu Yuan, did not look at Tu Yuan, but sat there looking at Ji Xinghe expressionlessly: "I do not agree to go to Battle Scar Canyon."

Su Chuanyun was furious, and called him by name: "Chen Xun, you have no right to disagree."

"In fact, I have this power."

"Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun." The blind man also looked at the expressionless Chen Xun: "I suggest you reserve your opinion."

The cripple looked at Chen Xun flickeringly, but Chen Xun didn't look at him. He could only remind him, "Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, if you have any comments, we will have a meeting to discuss it later."

From the point of view of military rank, the nine ace fighters of the Xinghe team, except Ji Xinghe, are all colonels. They can indeed call Chen Xun, the lieutenant colonel's staff, by his name and rank.

But before today, they would call Chen Xun Lao Chen.

"This is a meeting." Chen Xun emphasized, continued to look at Ji Xinghe and said: "So we should discuss it clearly before making a decision, instead of acting on our own will."

This is already a very severe accusation.

Seeing the internal strife in the Xinghe team, Tu Yuan's eyes flashed a hint of relief. He didn't know whether he was pleased with Chen Xun's sobriety, or with Chen Xun's reaction, which was completely within his expectations.

"That's right, this is a meeting, if there is any problem, just put it out for discussion."

When Tu Yuan spoke, his eyes moved away from Chen Xun, and he looked at Ji Xinghe again and asked, "Chen Xun, what do you think is wrong with Colonel Ji Xinghe's application?"

Without any hesitation, Chen Xun looked at Ji Xinghe and began to ask questions.

"First, the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps is going to the Battle Scar Canyon, what about the fifth base?"

Ji Xinghe didn't know what he was thinking, instead of directly answering Chen Xun's question, he said, "Liu Mian, tell me."

"..."

What about trouble?

If Liu Mian didn't know very well that Tu Yuan had never communicated with Ji Xinghe about a certain idea before this moment, he would really think that the acting skills of these two people are amazing.

Since there is no communication, isn't it acting?

This feels even scarier.

"According to the analysis report of the General Staff of Nantianmen, before the dust storm begins, that is, within nearly a month, the empire will not launch an attack on the No. [-] base. Because their conventional troops are seriously depleted, and they also deplete a lot of logistical resources. , Even if they have a jump gate, they can't endlessly mobilize a large number of conventional troops to attack base [-]. They will wait for the dust storm to start, and then send out the mech corps."

The No. 50 base theater has wiped out more than [-] conventional troops of the empire so far.

Speaking of routine, it is actually not routine. The Empire's regular troops, like the Federation's regular troops, have long been fully mechanized.The conventional troops composed of various combinations of arms made it difficult for the empire to bear such losses.

Combined with the annihilation of the empire's troops in the No. [-] base theater, the empire has lost more than one million troops and corresponding resources in these two theaters alone.

Although the Federation has always been on the defensive, in terms of the loss of troops, the empire, which belongs to the aggressive and offensive side, has always been at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

"The second question." Chen Xun continued to ask: "Once the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps appears in the Battle Scar Canyon, knowing that the Empire, which has an empty defense force at Base [-], changes their battle plan, what should we do?"

This time, Liu Mian began to answer without Ji Xinghe's request.

"If Colonel Ji Xinghe's application is approved, the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps will be able to have a space battleship that can quickly maneuver. However, under the strict defense of our space fleet, it is difficult for the Imperial Mecha Corps to have a space battleship. provide similar support."

The words paused for a second, and Liu Mian continued: "From this point of view, assuming that Colonel Ji Xinghe's application is approved and the Empire chooses to launch an attack on Base No. [-] in advance, the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps with rapid mobile response capabilities can Conduct interception or annihilation operations according to the strength of the Imperial Mech Corps."

Chen Xun pondered for a while this time, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Liu Mian's ideas, and he seemed to be giving other people time to think before continuing to ask questions.

"The third question, if the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps is under siege in the Battle Scar Canyon, it is difficult to protect itself, and it cannot quickly maneuver to support the fifth base. What should we do?"

Liu Mian didn't answer, but asked instead: "Then what if the Xinghe mecha corps led by Colonel Ji Xinghe broke through the Battle Scar Canyon?"

"This is impossible."

"It's all if, why do you say it's possible if it's possible, but I say it's impossible if it's not?"

"Colonel Liu Mian, this is a combat meeting, please be professional."

"Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, this is a combat meeting, please be more professional."

Liu Mian has become a repeater, but of course he is more than a repeater, adding: "This is war, and from the overall situation, we have always been at a disadvantage. Therefore, there is no foolproof combat plan. In my opinion, The combat plan proposed by Colonel Ji Xinghe has a high probability of success."

Chen Xun pondered again, and then continued to ask questions.

"The fourth question, is it meaningful to exchange the lives of living people for remains that have no value to us on the material level?"

Hearing this question, some people glared at Chen Xun, some agreed with their eyes, and some felt something was wrong.

With Chen Xun's ability, he shouldn't be so easily persuaded by Liu Mian on these three issues.

Although there is some difference in military rank between the two, it is only because of Chen Xun's contribution to the Xinghe team, which is difficult to see from the perspective of statistics and outsiders.

In contrast, Chen Xun, who has always been on the front line, is more convincing than Liu Mian.

Then why did such a Chen Xun raise the fourth question, which sounds reasonable but is actually a very stupid question?

Liu Mian understood.

He looked at Chen Xun and replied: "First, what we need is not only material resources, spiritual resources are equally important to our help in this war. If there is no spiritual support, including Corporal Chen Xuan Twelve heroic soldiers, it is impossible to launch an active attack on the empire under such circumstances."

"Second, the remains of the heroes are all in the enemy-occupied area. If you want to bring them back, you must capture the enemy-occupied area, so this is not just a fight to bring the remains of the heroes home, but also a fight for victory. I firmly believe that Colonel Ji Xinghe will not let our people brave the enemy's artillery fire to bring back the remains of the heroes."

"Third, it is impossible for no one to sacrifice in a war. I believe that for the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps and many people, this sacrifice is worthwhile and meaningful. Because everyone will miss home and want to go back Home."

After Liu Mian finished speaking, the meeting room was quiet for a while.

Chen Xun did not raise the fifth question.

Tu Yuan asked by name: "Chen Xun, do you have any questions?"

"I have no questions." Chen Xun got up, and looked at Tu Yuan like the rest of the Xinghe team: "General, do you have any questions?"

Everyone suddenly realized, this Chen Xun.

"I do have a problem." Tu Yuan looked at Ji Xinghe and said, "I disagree. You take the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps and leave my command sequence."

Chapter 419 Outrageous heads-up

Half an hour before Ji Xinghe's conferring ceremony, the people in Base [-] who were eagerly awaiting to participate suddenly got a shocking news.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe, and General Tu Yuan, one-on-one?"

"Yes, heads-up."

"What empire are you kidding?"

"I'm not joking, it's true, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to the training ground to watch."

"Fuck, wait for me."

People flocked to the training ground of the No. [-] base with incredulity in their hearts. The logistics staff have made some arrangements here, in order to let Ji Xinghe and the members of the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps feel valued when participating in the awarding ceremony. ,respect.

But now, no matter how you look at these arrangements, they seem a bit like a joke.

Head to head?

It's more of a joke.

It can be regarded as the training area with the largest area in addition to the parking area inside the No. [-] base, which is already overcrowded.

People were whispering, expressing shock and spreading what they had heard.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe has an apprentice."

"That said, Colonel Ji Xinghe has more than one apprentice, a hundred million apprentices is not too much."

"True apprentice, accepted by Azure Star, who followed Colonel Ji Xinghe for five years in the Xinfengcheng Auto Repair Factory. I also heard that he was Colonel Ji Xinghe's closed disciple at that time, because after Colonel Ji Xinghe brought him out Just retired."

"Fuck, isn't the closed door disciple the most powerful? Has he come to Alien? Has he come to our base? Is there Colonel Han Li that they can fight?"

"He came and he died."

"..."

The word "sacrifice" made everyone who heard it quiet for a moment, but the rumors obviously didn't stop there, and it didn't sound like it had anything to do with the duel between Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan.

"His name is Chen Xuan, and he is just an ordinary engineer, because he has never learned Jijia boxing from Colonel Ji Xinghe."

"Is this an apprentice?"

"Why not? Don't you think that he, who didn't learn Jijia boxing and can't fight, is actually as ordinary as thousands of ordinary people. Because his auto repair master, Colonel Ji Xinghe, came to Alien to participate in the war, he also chose to come Is it more worthy of respect when you arrive on a different star?"

"It's kind of you to say that."

"A little bit?"

"It's also possible that he came here to make military achievements."

"He has already died. He is not in our war zone, but in Battle Scar Canyon. He has nothing to do with Colonel Ji Xinghe and his Xinghe Mech Independent Corps."

"When you put it that way, I don't think Colonel Ji Xinghe really regarded him as an apprentice, let alone a closed disciple."

"That's because Colonel Ji Xinghe didn't know that he was coming, and they didn't know that they were coming, and they all rejected the transfer related to Colonel Ji Xinghe, because Chen Xuan and the others said...they came to help Colonel Ji Xinghe take revenge , not here to make military achievements."

"them?"

"Yes, they."

The news that all the staff of Xinfengcheng Auto Repair Factory signed up to join the army and their relatives signed up to join the army made people fall into silence again.

But it wasn't the last time they were silent.

Somebody got Chen Xuan's last words based on unknown authority, which is what Ji Xinghe heard.

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred...

Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan, who were going to be singled out, hadn't arrived at the training ground, not only the people in the training ground, but almost everyone in Base No. [-] heard Chen Xuan's last words.

People became more and more silent, and they were not even in the mood to discuss why Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan had to fight each other.

As Liu Mian said, everyone will be homesick and want to go home.

But everyone was the same as Chen Xuan, telling himself more than once: don't cry, because tears can't kill the orangutan.

I asked myself in my heart more than once: Do you miss home more, or do you want to kill orangutans?

Compared to people like Chen Xuan, most of the people in Base No. [-] had a one-to-one experience in joining the army.

They didn't join the army halfway, they even received military training from their youth.

Their responsibility and obligation is to protect people like Chen Xuan, but now people like Chen Xuan have come to Alien Star and sacrificed on the battlefield before them.

People who are not in the mood to discuss have almost guessed why this joke-like duel occurred.

"Colonel Ji Xinghe's closed disciple in Azure Star died heroically in Battle Scar Canyon. His body is still there. He said he was homesick, so Colonel Ji Xinghe is going to take him home."

After people knew about Chen Xuan, they guessed it, and someone gave a plausible and correct answer.

"General Tu Yuan disagreed, and Colonel Ji Xinghe quarreled with him. You know, the two of them... how should I put it, it doesn't seem like a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates. In terms of military rank, General Tu Yuan is higher than Colonel Ji Xinghe, but Colonel Ji Xinghe is much older than General Tu Yuan. In terms of position, although General Tu Yuan is the highest officer in our war zone, Colonel Ji Xinghe is in command of the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps, and you should all understand the nature of the Independent Corps."

"Moreover, Colonel Ji Xinghe is the first Galaxy-level mecha fighter in the entire Federation, and he is still the only one. The Galaxy Mecha Corps also has nine ace mecha fighters. All in all, General Tu Yuan can't order Colonel Ji Xinghe, Colonel Ji Xinghe cannot completely ignore General Tu Yuan's orders."

"After arguing and arguing, the two decide to fight, and whoever wins will listen to whoever wins."

People who heard this 'truth' only felt that Tu Yuan chose to support Ji Xinghe after all.

Although Ji Xinghe is going to leave with the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps, it will be an extremely serious blow to the defense force of the No. [-] base theater, even destructive.

But most of them chose to support Ji Xinghe after knowing the cause and effect.

Because in the rumors, the body Ji Xinghe said he wanted to bring back was not just Chen Xuan's.

Moreover, some content of the quarrel between Tu Yuan and Ji Xinghe was also spread by some well-informed people.

In fact, those contents are the "confrontation" between Chen Xun and Liu Mian.
