Mecha and Knife

Nantianmen space station.

In Tu Yuan's exclusive independent command center, everyone is paying attention to the panoramic information displayed on the big screen.

The central point is that Ji Xinghe just led his team to the B72 highland.

The battle has not yet begun, but everyone knows that the full force of the Empire's onslaught is coming.

Orders were issued one after another. It is impossible for the real battle to involve only Han Li's mech squad and Ji Xinghe's temporarily formed mech corps. The ground forces where Han Li's squad is located are the real main force.

The federal mech actually has only one role, and that is to block the advance of the imperial mecha.

The mecha's lethality against conventional ground troops is simply unimaginable. What Ji Xinghe once did, the imperial mecha can also do to the Federation's ground forces.

Before the battle really started, Tu Yuan, who formulated this battle plan and had command authority, received a communication request.

"Lieutenant General Tu Yuan, I think it's necessary for you to rethink the battle plan this time."

A man with a fat head and big ears, the top of his head is already very sparse. He looked at Tu Yuan with a somewhat humble smile, and said words that overwhelmed others.

"When we have advanced weapons such as missiles and space battleships, does a so-called high ground really have strategic significance?"

"It doesn't matter if the main force is gone, but the key issue is Han Li and Ji Xinghe, neither of them can be sacrificed."

"Lieutenant General Tu Yuan, we have managed to have ten active ace mecha fighters, breaking the curse of many years. Many people are happy for this. To use your Longzhou idiom, it is joy and encouragement. It is a national celebration. ah."

"We are preparing a program to bring together ten ace mecha fighters in active service in the Federation, which can inspire the will of the whole people to fight against the empire. If under such circumstances, one of Han Li or Ji Xinghe died on the battlefield, The reappearance of the curse is unimaginable for our Federation's attack."

"In case both of them die... I strongly suggest that Tu Yuanzhong revoke your order to defend the B72 highland. At least, Colonel Han Li and Colonel Ji Xinghe should be allowed to evacuate safely before someone really needs to sacrifice."

"What if the B72 highland is gone?"

The congressman paused for a moment, and did not wait for the expected response from Tu Yuan, so he could only continue talking.

"We can help you apply for a certain quota. As long as the B72 highland is occupied by the empire, you can directly order a fire coverage attack. No matter how many anti-aircraft missiles the empire has, the missiles we can apply for for you are enough to wipe out the B72 highland. for flat land."

"Lieutenant General Tu Yuan, what do you think?"

Tu Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and he asked, "Have you finished?"

The councilor froze for a moment, laughed and continued: "If you have other requests, you can definitely ask them, not only this time it is related to the firepower quota of the B72 highland, but also the weapon quota, energy quota, and even the quota of the troops you command. We can have a good discussion about your personal rank promotion and so on."

Tu Yuan nodded.

Just when the councilor thought that Tu Yuan was going to negotiate terms, he heard Tu Yuan's indifferent voice.

"That's it."

"ah?"

Before the councilor could react, the communication was cut off by Tu Yuan.

"Damn guy."

The congressman who was in another area of ​​the Nantianmen space station jumped his feet angrily, but he didn't dare to rush directly to the command center where Tu Yuan was while cursing loudly.

In fact, he couldn't get in even if he wanted to.

Federal MPs can indeed use their own voting rights and some of the resources they have to influence the federal military system when passing military-related programs.

But when the war started, when a general of Tu Yuan's level was commanding a battle, let alone a federal congressman, even the federal president could not directly order to influence the will of the general.

Except for Li Anbang, the only five-star general in the federation, the others could only dictate to Tu Yuan.

And Tu Yuan can choose to ignore it.

"Something like a clown."

Tu Yuan also cursed, and continued to stare at the panoramic map. When he saw that Ji Xinghe was finally in place, he directly asked someone to contact Ji Xinghe and Han Li.

As the supreme commander of this local war, he should not have explained his decision-making to anyone, but just as some members of the Federation feared, ace fighters such as Han Li and Ji Xinghe have become symbols of war. a sexual existence.

Their influence far exceeds the combat power they can truly display.

So he had to explain to Han Li and Ji Xinghe.

The communication was quickly established successfully.

Ji Xinghe and Han Li, who had just completed the rendezvous and had not had time to meet each other, reunited under such circumstances.

"Uncle Ji."

"Little Han."

After the two greeted each other, they greeted Tu Yuan one after another.

Han Li greeted him first, with a respectful tone.

"General!"

Ji Xinghe greeted him afterwards with a calm tone.

"Lieutenant General Tu Yuan."

It is obviously not respectful to name names. According to the habits of Longzhou people, major generals and lieutenant generals must be called generals on such occasions, just like deputy directors and deputy secretaries. It's the same as the director and secretary.

Tu Yuan ignored Ji Xinghe's impoliteness, hummed and got straight to the point.

"To make a long story short, some people think that I should not order to defend the B72 highland, because we have missiles and space battleships. In the war of this era, the highland does not have strategic significance to defend."

"But I still insist, and with Han Li, I will let you, Ji Xinghe, come over."

"I don't want you to die. In fact, if there is a situation that requires the two of you to fight to the death, you can retreat. I will not blame you, and the Federation will not blame you, because you are the ace mecha Warrior, everyone agrees that you should not die."

"You want to know, why should I persist in this situation?"

Han Li: "General, it is my duty to obey orders."

Ji Xinghe: "I don't want to."

"..."

Tu Yuan took a deep breath. Fortunately, he applied for a separate communication this time, and he had prepared earphones in advance, otherwise Ji Xinghe would embarrass him again.

"I want to tell you the significance of the B72 highland. From a conventional point of view, its altitude is relatively high. If our artillery units are deployed, they can strike all strategic targets on the south and west sides of No. 6 base without obstacles , The firepower coverage includes the four main imperial forces."

"Don't worry about the Empire's artillery units. We have completed the deployment of the air defense system. The only thing we need to worry about is the Empire's ground forces. They will definitely occupy the B72 highland at all costs."

"Yes, even if the empire occupies the B72 highland, we can still use long-range firepower to attack, and even razed the B72 highland to the ground. But the firepower required is enough to support us for a month."

"The one month I'm talking about is a month of fighting across the board."

"I don't want to discuss with you which is more important, the loss of the ground troops, or the one-month firepower quota, and you don't want to discuss it with me, because in this regard..."

"I can hit a hundred of you, and I'm talking about you, Ji Xinghe."

After saying this long-prepared sentence, Tu Yuan only felt refreshed and thoughtful.

But Ji Xinghe only said two words, and Tu Yuan couldn't help his veins twitching.

"hehe."

After this laughter, the communication channel fell silent, and Han Li suppressed his breathing.

Ji Xinghe dared to mock Tu Yuan, but he didn't dare.

Han Li thought to himself: This is the advantage of being old. When I reach this age, if I can still play, I will rely on my old age every day. No, I am definitely more daring than Lao Ji, I dare to directly take pictures of Li Anbang's table.

"From an unconventional perspective, the height of the B72 can greatly relieve the pressure on the No. 6 base."

After Tu Yuan calmed down, he continued to explain his reasons.

"I don't think we can lose another living base in a short period of time."

"Many people believe that at the cost of the sixth base, the empire will definitely be unable to launch a legion-scale attack for a long time after all. After all, they still have the loss of attacking the third base before."

"There are also those who believe that we can start the first-ever peace talks with the Empire after the loss of Base Six."

"About this point, Colonel Ji Xinghe, I think you should have something to say?"

Ji Xinghe did have something to say, and this was the biggest conflict between him and some powerful figures in the Federation.

He doesn't want peace talks.

The Galaxy Squad doesn't want peace talks, Jackson doesn't want peace talks, Harris doesn't want peace talks, Qin Tong doesn't want peace talks, Chen Xun doesn't want peace talks...

Every time they chanted 'in the name of the galaxy, we are invincible', they were chanting: Destroy the empire.

But Tu Yuan, who shouldn't be narrow-minded, didn't give Ji Xinghe a chance to speak.

"I want to use Base No. 6 to eliminate the military power of the empire as much as possible, because I always believe that the military power of the empire is bigger than many people expected, and the emperor's control over the empire is far beyond some people's imagination."

"Including you, yes, I'm talking about you, Ji Xinghe."

After another merciless blow, Tu Yuan finished what he wanted to say before Ji Xinghe lost his temper.

"To hold the B72 highland is to hold the No. 6 base. By holding the No. 6 base, we can lay a solid foundation for winning this war."

beep beep.

The communication was cut off, and in the temporary communication channel, only Han Li and Ji Xinghe, who hadn't seen each other for a year, were left.

The temporary newsletter came in a hurry, and the hangup was also very hasty. Some words were clear, and some words were cryptic.

So Han Li and Ji Xinghe both began to think seriously.

After a brief silence, Han Li said cautiously: "Uncle Ji, in fact, General Tu Yuan is really powerful. I have read some military books he published before, and many generals can be regarded as students of General Tu Yuan." I used to think that General Tu Yuan was a theoretical school, and he was not good enough on paper, but after he applied to come to Alien Star... he is really good."

"En..." Han Li's tone gradually became firm: "Uncle Ji, I know you have some dissatisfaction with General Tu Yuan, but now it seems that there are actually some misunderstandings."

Ji Xinghe took a deep breath.

"If I had the chance, I would apologize to him."

Han Li laughed.

"Uncle Ji, it is my honor to finally be able to fight side by side with you."

"It's an honor for me, too."

Ji Xinghe responded seriously, and then asked: "I heard from Jackson that you can control your own body now?"

"Yes." Han Li replied happily, just as he was about to explain in detail.

"Remove the armor, let's practice."

"Ah? No, Uncle Ji."

"What's wrong?"

"It's about to start a war, I have to save energy and save taxes."

Han Li firmly refused, he didn't want to be beaten up by Ji Xinghe in public.

"Time is enough." Ji Xinghe said: "If you have really reached the state where you can control your body, you don't need to accumulate energy and tax."

"Well, I didn't make it." Han Li said decisively, "I lied to Jackson."

"Then you have to remove your armor even more." Ji Xinghe said, "I'll teach you."

"..."
