Mecha and Knife

Nantianmen space station.

Ken Twiss, who left the command center, looked at the screen in front of him and asked softly, "Do you think I have a chance now?"

Tang Qiao, who was sitting opposite him, asked back with a blank expression.

"General, do you mean becoming a marshal, or Ji Xinghe?"

"Both."

"You have always had the chance to become the marshal. Judging from the current situation, you have a better chance than before. There is no problem with Tu Yuan's command, but Ji Xinghe is still alive, so there is a big problem. Including Marshal's intervention in Tu Yuan's command will be your help."

"What about Ji Xinghe?"

Tang Qiao didn't respond immediately, he seemed to be pondering or silent.

Ken Twiss reminded: "It's just you and me now."

Only then did Tang Qiao speak: "There is a certain possibility, but this possibility can only last for two and a half months, so it doesn't really mean much."

Kentweiss was silent.

There are only two and a half months left before the deadline for Li Anbang to step down as marshal, and this time is also the time when some people promised to give Ji Xinghe an explanation.

The reason for silencing Kentwiss is obvious, he is related to certain people.

Tang Qiao, who knows this well, has an inseparable connection.

"What if I return all of Ji Xinghe's military merits to him?" Kentweiss asked unwillingly, "Eighteen special merits."

Hearing what Kentweiss said, Tang Qiao suddenly fell into memory, did Ji Xinghe already have eighteen special merits?

In the first battle of the Sanliu Grand Canyon, Ji Xinghe defeated three imperial mechas and rescued two federal mecha fighters, which was considered a second-class achievement at that time.

But because the blind man and the lame man rescued by Ji Xinghe have now become ace mecha fighters, recalculated as first-class merit, or even special merit, no one will question it.

In the dust storm, he single-handedly defeated nine imperial mechs, a special achievement.

The retrograde battle of Xinyuehu's fall battle, special merit.

In the second battle of the Sanliu Grand Canyon, the empire's leap gate device was discovered, a special achievement.

The second orbital airborne, captured the Marquis Kazeman of the Empire, special merit.

Challenged before the battle, captured the Duke of the Empire Bell Rossi IV, special merit.

In the midst of the dust storm, traveling thousands of miles alone, the Lonely Brave achieved the title of unparalleled, super merit.

Supported the Battle of B72 Highland, at least three special merits.

The battle of the final fortress, special merit.

In the counterattack in the No. 5 base theater, there were three orbital airborne operations, three individual special awards, and two collective special awards.

In the just-concluded battle, Ji Xinghe was able to obtain at least two special merits.

Ji Xinghe like this is about to start fighting again, how many special merits can he get?

But for Ji Xinghe, these special merits did not bring due honors, because all these credits were replaced by Ji Xinghe as resources for building mechas.

Whether it is his rank of colonel or the establishment of the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps, it is based on the strength of Ji Xinghe and the members of the Xinghe team.

If all these special merits are returned to Ji Xinghe...

Kentweiss pondered for a moment, and when Tang Qiao was still in the memory, he said: "What if I give Ji Xinghe a general title?"

Tang Qiao suddenly laughed: "General, do you think the marshal will not give Ji Xinghe a general title before he resigns?"

"Yes, what the marshal is doing now is already obvious. He will let Ji Xinghe get the rank of major general before he resigns, just like Li Yuanba."

After answering Tang Qiao's question, Kentweiss added: "But the rank I'm talking about is lieutenant general, the same lieutenant general rank as Tu Yuan."

Tang Qiao frowned.

"I don't think there is such a big gap between Ji Xinghe and Tu Yuan this time."

"We can make that gap even bigger."

"But Ji Xinghe is from Longzhou."

"Longzhou people are from the Federation, we are from the Federation, we are all from the Federation, and the rank I gave him is the rank of the Federation."

"General, you are cultivating yourself a competitor."

"Hahaha... I admit that Ji Xinghe is very strong, so strong that I am jealous, but I don't think he is qualified to be my opponent. The tactical level and the strategic level are completely two concepts. .”

"You mean, you want Ji Xinghe to become Tu Yuan's competitor?"

"Yes, if Ji Xinghe gets the rank of general, he is one of the two most capable lieutenant generals in Longzhou, so how can Tu Yuan get the full support of Longzhou?"

"As you said, being strong at the tactical level is not the same concept as being powerful at the strategic level. No matter how strong Ji Xinghe is, he is only strong at the tactical level, while Tu Yuan is truly strong at the strategic level. Longzhou knows this very well. One point, Ji Xinghe himself is very aware of this."

"Is it possible that I make them not clear? Is it possible that we make Ji Xinghe not clear?"

Tang Qiao was silent again, his brain spinning rapidly.

"Give Ji Xinghe the rank of lieutenant general, let him become the first mech fighter to receive the rank of lieutenant general in the federation, let Xinghe team be proud of him, let Longzhou be proud of him, let the federation be proud of him. Let Longzhou have to pay attention to Ji Xinghe, because if they don't pay attention, we will pay attention to it. And the only result of our attention is that Ji Xinghe gets close to us and becomes Tu Yuan's direct competitor?"

Ken Twiss nodded, and added: "Qin Tong, Harris, Li Lin, Wang Gui, Su Chuanyun, the five ace mecha fighters are in the Galaxy Squad. There is also the one named Yu Ren, who has always wanted to join the Galaxy Squad , we can also transfer Jackson to the Xinghe team, plus Ji Xinghe, eight ace fighters, or there will be more at that time, such as the left-handed brother of the Xinghe team, and that Andre?"

Tang Qiao's eyes brightened, and he added.

"At least ten ace mecha fighters, we will return Ji Xinghe's military achievements to him, let him get the rank of general, and we will give him the resources that Longzhou is unwilling to fully support him, so that he can truly take over the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps Made it. We also have neural link technology, and their Zhanshan-level mecha will be stronger."

"Yes, there is a saying in Longzhou that goes like this." Ken Twiss nodded and said: "In his position, to find his job, we will send Ji Xinghe to a position that is difficult for him to reach, and he will naturally produce the same as before. Different thoughts."

Tang Qiao frowned again and asked, "Keji Xinghe is the main combat faction."

"So what?" Kentweiss laughed: "If I can fight, I will be the main fighter. If I can't fight, and Ji Xinghe can't see the form clearly and insists on fighting, then let him fight by himself." .”

And then killed?

Tang Qiao sighed in his heart. Kentweiss's ability to become a three-star general of the Federation definitely did not rely on the support of those capitals.

He didn't ask Ji Xinghe and the Xinghe team, which had at least ten ace mecha fighters, all died on the battlefield, what should the Federation do.

Because he knows very well that if the time comes to sacrifice Ji Xinghe and others in exchange for peace, then this peace will last to the next generation.

People like Ji Xinghe will become history, they will become the flame of the Federation's efforts to govern, and they will become the heroic stories of the next generation of the Federation who support them without fear of life and death during the death battle on alien stars.

For the superiors, Ji Xinghe who can play is not important, and Han Li, Jackson, Qin Tong, Harris and others who can play are not important.

"Without mechas, they can't even stop bullets." Ken Twiss' tone became a little regretful: "With mechas, they can't carry nuclear weapons, so they are very important to this war, and they are not important .”

Ji Xinghe resisted the nuclear weapon.

Tang Qiao didn't say this, because he knew that Kentweiss would definitely say that it was the reason for the general and the final fortress.

So he said: "If it's just an ordinary firearm, at close range, Ji Xinghe will not be afraid without wearing armor."

Kentweiss frowned: "What are you talking about?"

"Longzhou has a saying, within seven steps, a man is faster than a gun."

"I've also heard a saying from Longzhou that a gun is faster than a human at a distance of seven steps, and within seven steps, a gun is both accurate and fast."

"But he is Ji Xinghe."

"So what about Ji Xinghe? So what if he's not afraid of ordinary firearms within seven steps?" Ken Twiss raised his eyebrows: "Without the mecha, can he disassemble it with his bare hands?"

"It might be possible to disassemble the mecha with bare hands, because he is still a mechanic. Of course, the premise is that the mecha has no pilot, or the pilot is a child like Ji Rong Xinyue."

Even Tang Qiao's trust in Ji Xinghe was limited to this, which only added to the jokes of Kentweiss.

Kentweiss said with a smile: "Then can he take a knife and smash the empire's space battleship?"

When Tang Qiao was speechless, Kentweiss expression became serious.

"If you're willing to go to Base No. 5 and ask Ji Xinghe to promise me the title of general, you don't have to stand in the way of that matter."

Tang Qiao was silent for a long time. The value he showed these days was just an opportunity.

"Okay, I'll go."

It's a little strange that these two people believed that Ji Xinghe could survive and return to base five before the battle in Ji Xinghe was over.

He even directly believed that Base No. 5 could be held for a long time, long enough for Tang Qiao, who had offended Ji Xinghe more than once, to be able to convince Ji Xinghe.

It is not surprising that Tang Qiao has such an idea. For some reasons, he has a blind trust in Ji Xinghe.

It is not surprising that Kentweiss thinks so.

As he said, he admitted that Ji Xinghe is very strong and very important, but for the overall strategic level, Ji Xinghe is actually not that important.

It will only become his tool, just like Tang Qiao.

When the matter was settled, the expressions of the two suddenly became strange. They looked at the holographic screen on Kentwiss's desk and didn't know what to say.

Even though they had confirmed that there would be no problems with Ji Xinghe, the development of the matter still exceeded their expectations.

"You leave immediately."

"yes."

…………

"Xingyue."

"My lord, I am here."

After the most serious logical conflict, Xingyue's anthropomorphic level seemed to have improved significantly, and after responding, she began to make inferences and supplements.

"I have turned off the combat recorder. No one can hear our conversation. The princess is still in the hangar of the Xinyuehu. Su He and Jin Hai are on guard. Su He has applied for a rescue cabin for the princess, and she can enter it at any time .”

Ji Xinghe could also see this information, he didn't marvel at Xingyue's inference, he acquiesced to this artificial intelligence program, and has become an artificial intelligence life.

"What were you going to do before?"

Xingyue pondered for a while before answering.

"Take the princess to the empire."

Ji Xinghe was not angry, his tone was calm.

"Tell me what you think?"

Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and began to explain.

"I think that the real goal of the empire is to capture you, my lord. Even if Tu Yuan's order is carried out, the empire will use their mechs to protect you, my lord. Combined with the six imperial space battleships that appeared at that time, I think you will, my lord. Captured alive in the Empire."

"There are six hundred and ninety-nine gold stars on my body, and there are nine stars in a row and two beads. Only your mechs in the fifth base theater are eligible to have such a painting. The empire must know this. Therefore, in this Under the circumstances, as long as I take the princess to find the main force of the empire, I will have the opportunity to report the identity of the princess, and I will be able to survive because of the identity of the princess. Both the princess and I will survive and bring the princess to reunite with you."

"Then, follow your instructions."

After listening quietly, Ji Xinghe asked again: "Then what if the empire takes Xinxin as a hostage?"

"It's hard to make up for it, it's hard work." Xingyue replied: "As long as we can all survive, we have a chance. My lord, they know that you are strong, but they don't know that the princess is strong, and they don't know that I am strong. Even if they treat the princess as a The hostage will also give the princess a good life, because you are one of the most professional mechanics in the federation, and I have a lot of federation data."

Ji Xinghe raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, in order for the three of us to survive, you would betray the Federation and let Qin Tong, Harris, the blind man, the lame man, and many others all die because of our betrayal?"

the three of us...

This statement made Xingyue very happy, and her tone was very serious.

"In war, it is impossible for no one to sacrifice. Everyone can sacrifice, but you and the princess cannot sacrifice. I firmly believe that our temporary betrayal is only for a better federation and for the destruction of the empire."

"For a better federation? To destroy the empire?"

"The princess said that if one day the federation fails her and you, it's not the federation's fault, but some people's fault. My betrayal can make some people pay the price."

Xingyue paused for a moment and did not hear Ji Xinghe's rebuttal, so she continued: "A collapse from within is often more capable of destroying a country or a civilization than an attack from the outside. When we penetrate into the empire, we will There is a chance for the empire to collapse from within. Therefore, my betrayal can destroy the empire."

Ji Xinghe was silent.

The longer he was silent, the more nervous Xingyue became, because she could see clearly that Ji Xinghe brought a toolbox when he entered her cockpit.

The mechanic's toolbox can repair a mecha or dismantle a mecha.

She wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid that the impulsive decision she made before was wrong and would harm Ji Rong Xinyue and Ji Xinghe.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Ji Xinghe led the team close to the direction where the Xinghe team was escaping, they rushed in both directions, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

Ji Xinghe, who had been noncommittal, suddenly asked: "The fight is about to start, you or me?"

Xingyue was stunned for a moment because of this question, and then ecstatically.

"My lord, can I?"

"You can try."

"Xingyue will live up to my lord's trust."

Xingyue, who couldn't get her blood boiling, but was no different from her blood boiling, turned on the battle mode.

Her first battle is finally coming.

The voice suddenly became indifferent, and the voice of analyzing the enemy's situation rang in Ji Xinghe's ears.

"Three Duke-level Imperial Mechas, nine Marquis-level Imperial Mechas, and the Galaxy Squad have completed their numbering."

"The first priority attack target is the No. 7 Marquis-level Imperial Mecha, and the estimated time to break it is three seconds two."

"The second priority attack target is the No. 9 Marquis-level Imperial Mecha. The estimated time to break it is four seconds six."

"Our mechs will gain an advantage in the face of the enemy's seven marquis-level mechas."

"It is expected that the three Duke-level imperial mechs will join forces to attack me."

"Colonel Qin Tong and Colonel Harris, together they can temporarily block a duke-level imperial mech."

"In order to avoid greater casualties, I will face the siege of two Duke-level imperial mechs alone."

"My lord, I am applying for permission to activate the overclocking mode at any time."

Ji Xinghe was a little surprised, he didn't really believe that Xingyue could do it.

While hesitating, Su Chuanyun's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel.

"Fuck, old Ji, you are too fierce, they were scared away by you, what do you say? Chase or not?"

"..."

Xingyue looked at the twelve imperial mechas that suddenly turned around, feeling a little unacceptable for a moment.
