Mecha and Knife

When the super grand canyon with a length of more than 4,000 kilometers came into view, everyone in the bridge of the Heian space battleship was silent.

Some of them have been here before, for example, those selected by Xie Rui to help Ji Xinghe from the remnants of the remnant company and the recruited crew have all had the experience of serving in space battleships.

Battle Scar Canyon is the Federation's second war zone on Alien Star. All the space battleships of the Federation series have come here to perform tasks such as support, reconnaissance, and transportation.

But looking at it now, the state of mind is completely different, because from today onwards, this place will become their main battlefield.

Some of them had never been here before, such as Chen Xun, Qin Tong, Harris, the blind man, the lame man, Su Chuanyun, Andrei, the left hand, the lame man, and the deaf man who followed Ji Xinghe.

Chen Xun must be with Ji Xinghe. The nine ace mecha fighters did not stay with other mecha fighters from the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps. To put it simply, their current function is to be the personal guard of Ji Xinghe, the newly promoted major general of the Federation.

The standard is so high that even the Federal Marshal Li Anbang cannot match it.

But if you really want to use the combat power of the personal guards, the nine ace mecha fighters of the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps will definitely not be able to beat the guards at the Nantianmen Space Station, because they do not have individual exoskeleton armor, and the position of the bridge is not good enough. Suitable for driving the mecha all the time.

But it doesn't matter, Ji Xinghe doesn't need their protection.

Standing in the space battleship for the first time in person, looking at the endless battle scar canyon from top to bottom, their moods are also very different.

Su Chuanyun shouted loudly.

"I come, I see, I conquer."

No one hated Su Chuanyun, because what he was talking about was the aspirations of the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps and all the crew members of the Ping An.

They are fearless.

Looking at all the combat units of the Federation, this kind of morale is also one of the few.

"General." Xie Rui said: "Colonel Rovich from the eastern theater of Battle Scar Canyon sent another application, hoping that we can go to the eastern theater."

Ji Xinghe didn't hesitate: "Tell him we will go, but not now."

"yes."

Xie Rui immediately recovered, and commanded the Ping An to prepare for landing. Their destination was the western theater of the God of War Canyon.

The more than 4,000-kilometer-long Battle Scar Canyon, as the Federation's second war zone in Alien Star, is divided into two war zones, the East and the West. Although these two theaters are under the full command of the Federation's three-star general Kentweiss, it is true that Kentwiss can only command the western theater with full authority.

Because the main force of the eastern theater comes from the Federation Xiongzhou, and the strongest mech fighter Rovich in Xiongzhou is in the eastern theater. In name, he has full command, but in fact he cannot interfere with too many tactical plans, which are all decided by Xiongzhou generals themselves.

Large-scale combat plans will require the authorization of Kentweiss, and small-scale tactical operations, Kentwiss often does not know, and only gets the corresponding merits afterwards.

The main force of the western theater comes from Yingzhou, and the strongest mech fighter Kaidilin in Yingzhou is naturally in the western theater.

Therefore, Kentwiss' full command of the western theater is worthy of the name. However, based on Kentweiss' abilities and expertise, he will not interfere too much in the western theater.

He knew very well that if he often leapfrogged the command, the Battle Scar Canyon would have been unable to hold it long ago, so it would be better to sit firmly at the Nantian Gate and make the strategic decisions he should make.

It is precisely because of this that Rovich sent an application to Ji Xinghe when the Ping An was determined to land in the western theater.

There was no change in the landing of the Safety, because the landing site they chose was in the rear, far away from the enemy-occupied area.

Battle Scar Canyon is said to be a canyon with an average depth of more than eight kilometers, but there is rarely a line of sky. Because its widest point is more than 600 kilometers, when you are in it, it is no different from the plains on the surface of the alien planet only from the topography.

"Scientists say that many, many years ago, there was a big flood here, and it washed away from the Battle Scar Canyon. Many of the existing sediments appeared at that time, and there are also landslides with a length of hundreds of kilometers. , It’s really hard to imagine.”

Liu Mian sighed as the voice sounded.

For humans, the most scarce resources on alien planets are oxygen resources and water resources.

Chen Xun added: "To be precise, it was three billion years ago. In terms of water resources, there are still water resources on the alien planet, but we do not have the ability to mine and use them. It is located at the south pole of the alien star."

Liu Mian seemed to agree, and also seemed to be showing himself, and said: "You are talking about a subglacial lake, which is located under the Antarctic ice cap of an alien star, with a depth of more than 2 kilometers. The detection confirms that the water resources there are about the same as that of Azure Star. 6% to 21%, but the difficulty of mining is too great, and when we were sure, the empire came, so we couldn't mine."

Chen Xun replied: "There will be a chance to mine."

Liu Mian nodded approvingly: "Yes, there will be a chance."

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two colonels and staff officers of the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps sounded very harmonious.

Chen Xun's military rank was promoted in the last conferring ceremony, perhaps because Nantianmen saw the credit of Chen Xun, or it may be because Liu Mian, the colonel's staff, wants to join Ji Xinghe's team, and the relevant departments think that it should not be too overwhelming .

The reason is actually not important, what is important is that they are all following Ji Xinghe now.

But Ji Xinghe was not very satisfied with the result of their conversation.

"There is no need to mine if there is a chance."

"kindness?"

The people around were stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ji Xinghe meant.

Chen Xun laughed: "It seems that our five-year plan and ten-year plan will be revised again."

Liu Mian nodded and said, "I don't think this should be the last revision."

During the conversation, the Ping An successfully landed.

The correspondent reported: "General, Captain, Colonel Kedilin sent a message, inviting us to go to the headquarters to hold a combat meeting, five kilometers northwest of our landing site."

Xie Rui didn't speak, because now he is on the land of a different star.

Ji Xinghe pondered for a while: "Liu Mian, take people to the meeting. Chen Xun, get ready, the captains of the teams and I will go directly to the front line."

"Yes Yes."

The two responded without any doubts, and immediately arranged.

Ji Xinghe didn't need to ask, the ten squad leaders of the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps, including him, completed the assembly in the first time. These people were already by his side as personal guards.

The so-called assembly meant that ten people went to wear armor, and Chen Xun contacted the corresponding personnel and equipment in the western theater to provide them with logistical support.

Because it is a quick-response mecha formation, the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps does not have many cooperating units. After the Ping An, these personnel are concentrated on the Ping An, belonging to the crew sequence.

Under the premise that the Ping An must stay in the safe rear, it can only transfer people from the western theater.

Soon, ten mechas appeared on the tarmac where the Heian space battleship was located, attracting the attention of everyone present, because they were so dazzling.

They didn't stop at all, and directly started running mode.

"The front one is General Ji Xinghe's mecha? Why, it looks no different from the other mechas?"

"Why is there no difference? Didn't you see General Ji Xinghe's mecha, and there is no place to spray gold stars? It feels like the whole mecha is golden. Will this affect the camouflage?"

"I mean, there is no difference in the model. This model is the Zhanshan of the Xinghe Corps, right? What about the Xingyue of General Ji Xinghe? What about the new general A? Why does he want to drive Zhanshan?"

"Yeah, what about Xingyue? Where's the new general armor? It can't be done yet."

"It must have been built poorly. Look at the few mechas that follow General Ji Xinghe, they are not Zhanshan, they should be the exclusive mechas of the ace mecha fighters."

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the replay."

Because the ten mechas were running too fast, they had already disappeared from the sight of people in the parking area, so people could only watch the playback.

"The two closest to General Ji Xinghe are the exclusive mechas of the ace fighters of Colonel Qin Tong and Colonel Harris, and the exclusive mechas of the ace fighters of Colonel Li Lin and Colonel Wang Gui. Only the four of them have Exclusive mecha, all others piloted are Zhan Shan."

"Theirs are all finished, why hasn't General Ji Xinghe finished yet?"

"Maybe, because theirs are all finished, General Ji Xinghe's is still finished."

"What's the meaning?"

"Use your brain."

The Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps currently only has one hundred Zhanshan-level mechas and four exclusive mechas for ace fighters.

Except for Qin Tong, Harris, the blind man, and the lame man, all other mecha fighters, including all the team leaders including Ji Xinghe, are currently driving Zhanshan-level mechas.

The reason people speculate is correct. In the case of limited resources, the exclusive mechas of Qin Tong and the others did affect the manufacture of Ji Xinghe's exclusive mechas.

In particular, the exclusive mechas for the blind and the lame started manufacturing later than Qin Tong and Harris. In order to complete them as soon as possible, at the request of Ji Xinghe, part of the new general's armor was released. part.

The delay is actually not much, just five days.

Of course, this is also because many people never expected that Ji Xinghe would not bring Xingyue with him when he went to Battle Scar Canyon.

Four exclusive mechas for ace fighters, six Zhanshan-level mechas, lightly dressed and wearing only gold stars, swaggered straight to the front line from the relatively safe rear of the western theater.

Attracted everyone's attention along the way.

"Report, the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps, the Corps Commander's team, passed through our area."

"Report, the Galaxy Mech Independent Corps, the Galaxy Squad, pass through our area."

"Report, General Ji Xinghe led the nine captains of the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps to pass through our area."

"Report, our Xinghe-level mecha fighter General Ji Xinghe led our ace mecha fighters Qin Tong and Harris... through our area."

The contents of the reports of the various departments in the Western War Zone of Battle Scar Canyon are basically the same, but the name of the mech squad led by Ji Xinghe is quite different.

Squads that theoretically do not exist in the federal battle order, but appeared because of Ji Xinghe, and the people who witnessed it could not be sure of their titles.

In the general headquarters of the western theater, Kai Dilin, the strongest mecha fighter in Yingzhou, has already received the news that Ji Xinghe will not come to participate in the combat meeting.

But when Ji Xinghe really led the team through the area where the headquarters was located, he was still a little unhappy.

"I've become a general, but I'm still so reckless."

It’s not to mention resentment, but there must be some dissatisfaction. He joined the army earlier than Ji Xinghe and became famous earlier. His military achievements are also worthless, but he has never been able to get the rank of general. Some dissatisfaction is understandable. .

"Should I let General Kentwiss give the order?" The colonel and chief of staff of the headquarters frowned and said, "General Ji Xinghe is now in our command sequence, and he shouldn't do this."

"Kentwiss?"

When this name was mentioned, Kedilin didn't have the slightest respect in his tone, and he didn't add the suffix of general, but the others were no longer surprised.

"Although I don't think Ji Xinghe should be so reckless, but if you want those generals who stay at Nantianmen to command Ji Xinghe, I don't agree."

In the western theater of Battle Scar Canyon, there is not even a single general in the headquarters. The chief of staff is only the rank of colonel. Needless to say, Kedilin, who leads the mecha troops, also has the highest rank of colonel among the commanders of the regular troops.

Where are the generals? They are all at Nantianmen.

So from this point of view, it is not a problem to say that the real headquarters of the western theater is in Nantianmen.

In contrast, Tu Yuan, who is now in the battle zone of No. 5 base, won by more than one margin.

Even in the Eastern theater, which is also in Battle Scar Canyon, there are two major generals Xiongzhou and one lieutenant general Xiongzhou.

Not to mention the shining star, the main force came from the Gods Mountain battlefield in Longzhou.

"Kadilin, you can't say that. We are the first in the world to realize the informatization of the army. At that time, they were still pursuing the full mechanization of the army. It is already the age of informatization. It doesn't make any difference whether the generals are there or not."

"Yeah?"

Kaidilin asked back.

"Yes."

"hehe."

This topic will stop here, it is commonplace for them, there is not much to say.

The chief of staff of the Western War Zone, after Ji Xinghe led people directly through the area where the headquarters was located, knew that Ji Xinghe was determined to fight, so he began to make corresponding arrangements.

"The logistical support that Colonel Chen Xun applied for should be in place as soon as possible. Don't wait until General Ji Xinghe starts fighting. Colonel Chen Xun has already caught up. Our support is still gathering."

"All the battle information on the front line is sent to Colonel Chen Xun and Colonel Liu Mian, and they make their own decisions."

In the process of issuing and executing various orders, Liu Mian finally led people to the headquarters of the Western Theater Command.

He didn't bring many people with him, because he had only come to the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps for less than half a month, and it was too late to form a staff department belonging to Ji Xinghe.

But in terms of authority level, he is no lower than the colonel's chief of staff in the headquarters.

At the same time, Ji Xinghe also led the team to the frontline battlefield, and completed a short rendezvous with the logistics troops mobilized from the western theater. The communication connection was really established at this time.

The Western Theater Command, which was preparing for a meeting, had to enter a somewhat passive spectator mode.

Of course, conventional combat command has not been suspended because of this, and the battle between the western theater and the eastern theater has never really stopped.

After the communication was successfully established, the Xinghe Mecha Independent Corps had a brief internal communication. After Liu Mian and Chen Xun got the information, they sent the battle plan they formulated to Ji Xinghe and others.

Throughout the whole process, the Western Theater Command failed to really participate.

"Is Colonel Kedilin there?"

When Ji Xinghe's voice sounded in the headquarters, Kai Dilin responded immediately.

"I am here."

Finally thought of me?

Kaidilin's mood is a bit complicated. He regrets that he risked his life to support Ji Xinghe, that is, to challenge the empire.

But he never expected that Ji Xinghe, who finally thought of him, would say something that shocked him and almost everyone else.

"kindness."

Ji Xinghe spoke calmly, he said.

"Look well, study hard."

"..."

At this moment, Kaidilin really regretted it: Ji Xinghe, are you here to fight, or to attack me?
