Mecha and Knife

"Report, found signs of large-scale troop mobilization of the empire, the target is suspected to be our outpost 1844 and the defense line of outpost 1845."

This news shocked the people who were amazed that Ji Xinghe, who was using remote sensing driving technology, was able to kill all directions.

The battle against the defense line of outpost No. 1844 in the western theater is still continuing. Some troops have bypassed the terrain obstacles of the double canyons and began to attack the outpost No. 1845, which is occupied by the empire but has an empty defense force.

It is only a matter of time before the lost ground is regained, and it is also an inevitable event that the empire will organize forces to counterattack.

But no one could have imagined that the empire's counterattack would be so decisive, and the timing of the choice happened to be the time when Ji Xinghe joined the battle in the No. 5 base theater.

"They think that Ji Xinghe went to the No. 5 base theater, so we don't have Ji Xinghe's help in the western theater. So, choose to launch an attack?"

Davis was in the ground command of the western theater, asking the people around him with a surprised expression.

People also responded to him with stunned expressions.

It's hard to imagine that the empire would make such a decision because of a human being, even if this person is the only one galaxy-level mech warrior currently in the Federation.

"Should... not be so?" A staff officer said aloud: "General Ji Xinghe did not take the independent regiment to the No. 5 base theater. The empire is very clear that the independent regiment is still in our theater, so they chose to launch it at this time point." The counterattack should have been prepared long ago, but it took about an hour of resolution and preparation."

Even so, the staff officer also had the same idea as Davis.

If Ji Xinghe's Xingyue Mecha did not appear on the battlefield in the No. 5 base theater, would the empire really choose to launch a counterattack at this time?

The Western Theater has just won a big victory, even though it suffered heavy casualties, but the Western Theater is not the only military force that participated in the battle this morning.

No one would devote all their military strength to a tough battle. The battle scar canyon was not as wide as a canyon, but it couldn't accommodate a simultaneous battle of more than half a million troops, and the defense after the defeat had to be considered.

"I think it's because they think that General Ji Xinghe has left, so they dare to attack. An independent regiment with General Ji Xinghe and an independent regiment without General Ji Xinghe are completely different concepts."

"I don't think so. The mechs of the Independent Regiment haven't been repaired yet, and an hour is not enough for them to rest, and they can't go into battle now. So they will think that this is the best time to attack us, and General Xinghe Ji Relevant, but not so relevant."

"It will take at least two hours of marching time for them to reach the defense line of outpost 1844. This is still in the case of preparations in advance. If they are not prepared in advance, such a huge troop mobilization will require at least five In an hour's time, enough people from the Independent Regiment have rested, enough for us to repair all the damaged mechs of the Independent Regiment. So, I think it's because General Ji Xinghe is not there, well, they think General Ji Xinghe is not there."

"But it's unbelievable. General Ji Xinghe is really strong, but it won't make the empire..."

"enough!"

Davis suddenly roared out, and said angrily: "The empire is mobilizing its troops to march towards our front line. I need a countermeasure. You don't need to discuss why the empire dared to attack at this time."

Eh?

Didn't you start this topic yourself?

The staff immediately began to analyze all kinds of intelligence, discuss the battle plan and other matters, and they were not in the mood to pay attention to the war in the No. 5 base theater.

That is to say, when they were discussing, the news from the Battle Scar Canyon Theater Command of the Nantianmen Space Station made them all froze on the spot.

"What?" Davis' tone was shocked: "Let General Ji Xinghe stop using remote sensing driving to support the No. 5 base theater?"

"Yes." A colonel of the headquarters staff said indifferently: "Our general staff believes that the reason why the empire launched a counterattack at this time is because they think that General Ji Xinghe has gone to the theater of the fifth base. Therefore, as long as Ji Xinghe General Xinghe stops supporting the No. 5 base theater, and the empire's counterattack will stop accordingly."

Davis laughed angrily, but his eyes became more and more angry. He looked at the colonel's staff officer on the screen and took a deep breath.

"Whose order is this?"

"As I said, our General Staff."

"I only know one General Staff, also known as the Joint Chiefs of Staff. You seem to be the same as me, and you are not eligible to be elected."

"The General Staff of Battle Scar Canyon Theater Command, what's the problem?"

"No problem, but if you only care about the Battle Scar Canyon theater and only the western theater, then there will be a big problem."

Davis's tit-for-tat attitude made the colonel's staff who was in charge of informing the decision very dissatisfied, but as the saying goes: You will not accept the order of the king abroad.

The Battle Scar Canyon Command in the Nantianmen space station is not binding on Davis at this moment.

Although he and Davis are both the same colonel's staff, there is a huge gap in their powers.

He was the colonel's staff officer and Davis was the colonel's chief of staff.

Moreover, Davis can be awarded the rank of general only by virtue of his achievements in recovering the defense line of the 1844 outpost, but for a long time, he can only be a colonel's staff.

Thinking of Kentweiss' explanation, the colonel's staff began to explain.

"We are not sure about defending the lost ground we just regained. Judging from the intelligence fed back by the reconnaissance satellite, the empire's dispatched troops this time are about 300,000, which is the size of three army groups. Therefore, we hope that through this method, delay The empire's offensive will give us more time to occupy the defense line, repair and build defensive fortifications. Only in this way will we have the opportunity to continue to regain lost ground, and even break through the empire's western defense line in the Battle Scar Canyon in one fell swoop, destroying the empire's defenses in the battle scar valley. The jump base of the canyon."

The colonel's staff at the command paused for a while, giving the ground command time to digest his words, and then continued.

"In contrast, although the fifth base is very important, even without the long-range support of General Ji Xinghe, they still have a high chance of being able to defend the empire's attack. From a strategic point of view, we have every reason to let Ji Xinghe The general stopped supporting the No. 5 base, or...he took the initiative to expose that he was using remote sensing driving technology to remotely operate Xingyue."

Davis kept silent when the other party was talking, and when the other party finally stopped, he asked back immediately.

"That's it?"

"Colonel Davis, are you disobedient?"

"I'm not trying to disobey orders, I'm just curious, if General Ji Xinghe's support is not that important to the No. 5 base theater, why do you firmly believe that the empire's counterattack this time is because they think that General Ji Xinghe went to No. 5 base War zone?"

"General Ji Xinghe's combat effectiveness is very important, but there is a 1.5-second delay in remote sensing operations. Therefore, instead of letting General Ji Xinghe pilot Xingyue remotely, it is better to let a special mecha fighter pilot Xingyue. Davis, we are not There are simply better options to stop supporting the Base Five theater."

"A better choice?"

Davis glanced at the screen next to him, which showed information about the battle situation in the No. 5 base theater.

It was a long time for him to talk nonsense with the other party, and it was also a long time for Xingyue.

"Seventy-nine, fifteen minutes. General Ji Xinghe used what you call the backward remote operation technology, and it took only fifteen minutes to destroy seventy-nine Imperial mechs. Excuse me, who is there in the Federation A super mecha warrior, can you guarantee that he can do this while driving Xingyue?"

Faced with Davis' questioning, the headquarters was speechless.

If they knew the truth, then this question would be easy to answer, not to mention super mech fighters, even Ji Rong Xinyue driving Xingyue could defeat seventy-nine mechs in fifteen minutes. Imperial armor.

But besides Ji Xinghe and Ji Rong Xinyue, who else in the Federation can drive Xingyue?

Han Li, who has always been considered the strongest apprentice of Ji Xinghe?

Although he is the trump card, he is indeed very strong, and he has the most complicated and closest relationship with Ji Xinghe's grandfather and grandson, but Xingyue still wanted to kill him before.

Han Li can't do it, so no one can do it.

"At base No. 5, suitable mecha fighters will be selected to drive Xingyue. The performance of the third generation Xingyue is very powerful. Even if it takes less than 15 minutes to defeat 79 imperial mechas, it can still help five The No. 1 base theater has won the defensive battle, Davis, please contact the front line immediately..."

"No more contact."

It wasn't the voice of Davis refusing, but Liu Mian, who had been silent before, walked to Davis's side while he was speaking, and looked at the communication screen.

Davis also stepped aside very cooperatively, completely forgetting that he had several disputes with Liu Mian before.

"I am Liu Mian from the staff of the Independent Regiment. I have the full authority of our regiment commander, Major General Ji Xinghe. Here, on behalf of our regiment commander and our independent regiment, I refuse to carry out this order from your Battle Scar Canyon Command. .”

Liu Mian's expression was indifferent, and his tone was like a mechanical electronic synthesis.

He looked at the colonel's staff on the screen, as if he was looking at Kent Weiss standing behind the colonel's staff.

Without waiting for the other party to react, he directly predicted all possible reactions of the other party, and gave a strong refusal in advance.

"First, Major General Ji Xinghe will not stop supporting the No. 5 base theater. If you try to cut off the communication signal, or take the initiative to expose that General Ji Xinghe is still in the western theater, our independent regiment will immediately withdraw from the western theater."

"Secondly, Mecha Xingyue, this time no mecha fighter will be allowed to replace Major General Ji Xinghe. If you try to lock Xingyue's driving authority, all mechas of the independent regiment will refuse to participate in this war .Note that I am speaking of this war between the Federation and the Empire."

"Third, in this counterattack attack of the empire, our independent regiment will go all out to annihilate the military power of the empire when the above two conditions do not occur. You can not participate in the war, you can order The Western Theater will not participate in the war, but our independent regiment will definitely participate in the war. All losses caused by this will be fully borne by you."

Three sentences, the consequences of one is more serious than one.

The evacuation of the Independent Regiment from the Western Theater is the lightest, and the refusal of the Independent Regiment to participate in the war can be discussed afterwards, but the last one, the Independent Regiment will inevitably be wiped out by the entire army of the Empire.

They all know that Ji Xinghe is now in the western theater. If the independent regiment chooses to fight to the death with one regiment, how can Ji Xinghe stay out of it?

Are the people in the independent group afraid of death?

Is Ji Xinghe afraid of death?

Some people may know that Ji Xinghe is more afraid of death than many people for Ji Rong Xinyue, but Ji Xinghe's fighting style all along can be described as meaningless life and death.

Everyone believed that he really dared to take the independent regiment to fight against the 300,000 troops of the empire.

"Colonel Liu Mian." The people in the headquarters questioned: "Can you represent the independent regiment? You have to know that what you just said may become evidence for us to send you to a military court."

Liu Mian suddenly laughed.

Before he could answer the question, another voice sounded from within the headquarters.

"I'm Chen Xun, Colonel and Chief of Staff of the Independent Regiment's Staff Department. I certify that Liu Mian can represent our independent regiment. What Liu Mian just said is the attitude of our independent regiment and the attitude of our regiment commander."

This is just the beginning.

Another voice sounded.

"I am Qin Tong, the captain of the first team of the Independent Regiment. I represent the 14 super mech fighters of my team, and I prove that Colonel Liu Mian can represent our Independent Regiment."

"I'm Harris, the captain of the second team of the Independent Regiment. I represent the fifteen super mech fighters of my team, and I prove that Colonel Liu Mian can represent our independent regiment."

"I'm Li Lin..."

"I am Wang Gui..."

"I'm Su Chuanyun, are you fucking finished? I've been fighting for seven days, and I haven't slept a sound sleep. I finally won the fight and want to sleep well. I have to wake me up? If I sleep Not good, after a fight, the orangutan hacked to death, I said your ancestors were eighteen... woo..."

Su Chuanyun's words paused for a moment, and then rang again.

"Don't fucking cover my mouth, I'm going to say, who came up with this idiotic plan? Come on, come on, one-on-one, stand up, one-on-one with me, if I don't break all three of your legs, I will It’s not called Su Chuanyun. Battle Scar Canyon Command, right? Come on, I’m alone, let all of you go up, come down, single-handedly, dare not come down, right? You wait, wait for me to go up, you What a fucking bunch of idiots, trash, idiots, retarded, rubbish, shit..."

This time, no one covered Su Chuanyun's mouth.

Amidst his frenzied cursing, the colonel staff officer on the communication screen turned and ran away. He didn't know whether he was looking for someone to sue and send Su Chuanyun and the independent regiment to a military court, or to seek advice.

"Stop scolding, everyone has been scolded by you, so hurry up and rest, the fight will start in two hours at the earliest."

Liu Mian interrupted Su Chuanyun's seemingly consistent scolding for ten minutes, signaled the correspondent to turn off the communication with the front line, and then looked at Davis.

Davis, who had been confronting the headquarters just now, was a little hesitant at this time.

He also felt that the command's plan was stupid, but from a certain point of view, the command's choice was indeed the best choice.

Moreover, this group of people in the independent group is really crazy. It's fine for Liu Mian to say those three things, it's just one person's madness.

But the other members of the independent group were so crazy, and Su Chuanyun was even crazier than Liu Mian.

Although Su Chuanyun is also a colonel, it is not a big problem to scold a colonel's staff in public, but the problem is... Su Chuanyun has given the Battle Scar Canyon Command a pot.

No, it should be said that it was a word of mouth.

There are five major generals, two lieutenant generals, one general, and a three-star general. There is still a 90% possibility of becoming the next commander-in-chief within a month.

Thinking about it this way, Davis understood why Kentweiss made such a choice.

In the process of taking over as commander-in-chief, he can have no more meritorious service, but he must never have.

but……

The possibility of Ken Twiss becoming the next commander-in-chief increased from 35% to 90%, both of which were directly related to Ji Xinghe.

One was that Ji Xinghe broke Tu Yuan's leg in public, and put a huge blame on Tu Yuan.

One is that Ji Xinghe brought an independent regiment to the western theater, participated in the battle for seven days, and helped the western theater annihilate more than 500,000 troops of the empire, nearly 4,000 imperial mechs, and regained many important lost ground. It also gave the western theater the hope of capturing the empire's transition base.

When Davis was hesitating, no one in the headquarters spoke up, and Liu Mian didn't use any words to make Davis make a choice.

Because the choice of Davis alone is actually not that important. The choices of other people in this command, as well as the choices of nearly 300,000 soldiers in the Western Theater, are the most important.

Liu Mian is waiting.

He waited.

Kaidilin's voice sounded in the headquarters: "I heard that, I think it's ridiculous, how about you?"

Kaidilin's words, like a joke, caused everyone in the headquarters to laugh. They were laughing, but their eyes were full of sternness and determination.

"It's quite ridiculous." Davis finally said, "Colonel Liu Mian, what do you think we should do now?"

Liu Mian did not answer, but instead asked a question that has been asked many times in the past two days, but it is still very meaningful, and it is becoming more and more meaningful.

"You guys, do you believe in Ji Xinghe?"
