Mecha and Knife

In the No. 6 base, many people are waiting for the arrival of the transfer convoy from the No. 3 base, looking forward to meeting familiar people again.

The surface area of ​​the Alien Star is incomparable to that of the Azure Star, and the area occupied by the Federation is not too large. However, the extremely inconvenient transportation and the shortage of related resources make many people who have met and started to get acquainted with the Alien Star. rare.

It was agreed that after the victory of the war, how to get back together on the blue star, but some people can never return to the blue star, even their ashes can only be left on the alien star, buried on an uninhabited planet , was gradually buried deeper and deeper by the orange-red dust, until no one could remember where they were buried.

Perhaps one day, humans will completely occupy this planet. The development of science and technology has given humans the ability to change the environment of this planet, allowing this planet to have a real atmosphere. On the ground, they take root and sprout and the wind carries away the new seeds.

When countless seeds are spread all over the alien planet, some seeds will take root in the forgotten hero's burial ground, absorb the will of the heroes and break out of the ground, facing the people living on the alien planet thousands of years later. Human beings use the sound of wind and rain to tell stories and people who should not be forgotten.

But people will forget after all, they will only remember that there was a war on this planet, they will only see some cold and ruthless figures in textbooks, and some of them will even think they are standing on the commanding heights of morality , Condemning the Federation in this war with holy light on their faces, they will say that those who sing the praises of war will not go to the battlefield, they will say that war will never be just...

It's not scary for heroes to bury their bones in a foreign land. What's scary is that those who are protected by them with their lives say that they are not heroes with a well-known expression on their faces.

...

"Where's Lao Ji? Why didn't Lao Ji come back with the convoy? Didn't he accept the task of escorting the convoy?"

"Not only the old Ji, but also the blind and the lame. Everyone in their Xinghe team has not returned."

"not……"

Master Liu took his apprentices and prepared some gifts for Ji Xinghe to return to Base No. 5. When Ji Xinghe returned to base 5, he helped Ji Rong Xinyue to hand them over. But they managed to sneak in, but failed to see Ji Xinghe and the Xinghe team who were supposed to come back with the team, which made them flustered.

"Don't fucking fart, believe it or not, I will give you a big mouth?"

After Master Liu scolded angrily, he quickly walked towards the hangar, where the people in the convoy would take a short rest, and some people who needed to be transferred from the No. 6 base would also join the convoy there, forming a larger Huge transfer fleet.

The apprentice who was scolded didn't have any anger, only annoyance on his face, he felt that he shouldn't have said those three words.

Everyone worriedly followed Master Liu, and soon came to the hangar area, and saw those people who were joining the convoy, some of them were familiar to them, and some of them just met in the cafeteria.

"Lieutenant Colonel Tang Qiao."

Master Liu stood in front of the person in charge of the scene, and asked directly with a look of Ji Xinghe leaning on his old man, "Where is Lao Ji? Where is the Xinghe team?"

Tang Qiao replied blankly: "This is a secret."

"Bullshit secret." Master Liu said angrily, "Don't think I don't know what a secret is. You just say what you can and don't say what you can't. You know what I want to know."

From the point of view of military rank, it is obvious that Master Liu made such a mistake, which made Tang Qiao a little angry. Why are these people in the No. 6 base like this? Ji Xinghe is like this, and Master Liu has become like this, relying on the old to sell the old Can it be contagious?

But the military rank belongs to the military rank. Master Liu, as the mechanic who stayed at the No. 6 base, can be regarded as one of the strongest ones. Tang Qiao really didn't dare to directly offend Master Liu.

"Master Liu." Tang Qiao frowned and said, "I can only tell you that Lieutenant Ji Xinghe is fine, and everyone in the Xinghe team is fine."

"Isn't it the end of the matter if you say that earlier? If you don't want to go, just go away..."

Master Liu's mood instantly became lighter, and after he said something that Tang Qiao, a native of Yingzhou, could not understand, he suddenly froze for a moment.

"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe? When he left our base today, wasn't he still a second lieutenant? Why did he suddenly become a lieutenant?"

"Sorry, this is confidential."

"hehe……"

After responding with a sneer, Master Liu turned around and left, greeting his apprentices to share the good news. It is good that people are not dead, and it is even better if they can be promoted, which shows that not only they are not dead, but they have made meritorious service.

There were quite a few people waiting for Ji Xinghe in the No. 6 base, and almost all of them had some gifts for Ji Rong Xinyue, so that the transfer convoy didn't have enough space to store them. So they wanted to wait for Ji Xinghe and the Xinghe team to come over and use the mecha to deliver these small gifts.

These people were a little panicked and worried when they didn't see Ji Xinghe appearing, but they were soon relieved because of Master Liu's eulogy. But they all became curious about why Ji Xinghe's military rank was promoted again.

Judging from the difficulty of Ji Xinghe's promotion to the military rank in the past, it is so easy to be directly promoted to lieutenant, which shows that Ji Xinghe has made a lot of contributions.

"You said, Lao Ji won't meet the Imperial Mecha again, right?"

"That must be true. I think Lao Ji should have defeated at least five more, no, seven Imperial Mechas this time, otherwise he would definitely not be able to be promoted so easily. Tang Qiao and those people have been suppressing Lao Ji."

"Be bold, Lao Ji single-handedly destroyed nine imperial mechs that time, and there must be more this time."

"The quantity is not important, I'm just curious about one question, why Lao Ji can always turn scouting missions and escort missions into combat missions."

"Then who knows."

...

"Ji Xinghe, I'm really curious, why do you always encounter such things?"

Ji Xinghe, who was rushing to the No. 6 base from the canyon, heard a familiar voice on the communication channel, so he asked, "General Tu Yuan, is it okay that I met you?"

"fine."

Tu Yuan, who was on a space battleship in the near-Earth space of another planet, looked at the eight federal mechas running in the picture captured by the reconnaissance satellite, with a smile in his eyes.

"Ji Xinghe, your military rank has just been promoted to lieutenant. Your current task is to continue the previous task and escort the transfer convoy from the third base and the sixth base to the fifth base."

"Received." Ji Xinghe's tone was calm, without any sense of joy.

After pondering for a while, Tu Yuan asked again: "What do you think of that device?"

The transition device in the canyon has been completely destroyed. The Xinghe team, which has dealt with all the imperial mechas, dared not get too close when they rushed back with Zhang Ming's team, for fear that their mechas would step on some useful fragments.

Only the guards were around, waiting for the follow-up support to be in place. After more professional personnel arrived at the scene, the Xinghe team was authorized to leave the canyon, and the Zhang Ming team was ordered to stay in the canyon.

Ji Xinghe failed to dismantle those imperial mechs, and the few imperial nobles he captured were not under his control, because the news that he likes to behead the imperial orangutan for public display has spread along with his achievements this time, and no one Dare to let him leave with the prisoners.

"My opinion..." Ji Xinghe pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Aren't you a civilian general in charge of conscription?"

In the past, the Federation did not have the military rank of civilian general. In the army, professional and technical positions above the junior level and above the clerk level are collectively referred to as civilian cadres. Under normal circumstances, only the corresponding ranks of civilian cadres do not have military ranks, and very few hold administrative positions. You can get a military rank only when you get a military rank, or change from a civilian cadre to an active military officer.

But it is almost impossible to get the title of general, and Tu Yuan is one of the precedents in this regard.

"I've transferred, I'm not a civilian general anymore."

"Then, can the two of us fight?"

The inexplicable sudden challenge made Tu Yuan couldn't help taking a deep breath. He thought of the first time he met Ji Xinghe, Ji Xinghe said that he could fight ten generals like him. Facts have proved that Ji Xinghe lied. As a peerless master, Ji Xinghe not only beat ten Tu Yuan, but even a hundred Tu Yuan with bare hands may not be able to beat Ji Xinghe.

He also knew why Ji Xinghe said this, why he embarrassed himself in public when he knew that there must be other people around him.

"We will talk about some private matters later when we have time, let's talk about business now."

"Is it a private matter?" Ji Xinghe asked back but did not pursue the question, but seriously talked about the business.

"I think that kind of diamond-shaped metal body is part of the jump device, not a real jump device, it is just a receiver. The empire dropped the diamond-shaped metal body into the canyon by means of airdrops. Because there are fragments of parachutes in the canyon."

Ji Xinghe recalled everything he saw, and continued to talk about his analysis results.

"The first imperial mecha formation I discovered was transmitted into the canyon through a rhombic metal body, otherwise there is no reason why they can pass through the blockade without sound. Its ability to receive transmissions should have a time interval, so The second mecha formation was only one step late. It is also possible that they used some means to determine that the canyon had encountered an air attack, so they sent the second mecha formation to destroy the diamond-shaped metal body and kill the mouth."

"Before they were discovered by us, their original plan was to transport the diamond-shaped metal body to a position closer to Base No. 3, or to a position closer to Base No. 6, and then transport a large number of mechs and other corresponding weapons. , launched a surprise attack on us..."

"Old Ji." Tu Yuan changed his address to Ji Xinghe, and asked seriously, "How do you think we should deal with this device?"

"Interference, similar to signal interference, their purpose of coming to the Grand Canyon is very clear, just to make sure that the Grand Canyon is suitable for using this device. Or, to measure the relevant coordinate information of the Grand Canyon, etc." Ji Xinghe analyzed: "But no matter how you look at it, the conditions for using this device are very strict. We can interfere with it, calculate in advance where such devices may appear, and prevent them from suddenly appearing behind us."

"It's hard for us to do what you said in a short time, but..." Tu Yuan pondered slightly: "I have another plan, do you want to hear it?"

Ji Xinghe was silent, he knew that what Tu Yuan wanted to ask was not to listen, but to try.

"you say."

"Orbital drop, mecha."
