Mecha and Knife

In the era when mechs are kings, the king has to leave.

Thinking of this, Davis hesitated to speak, he didn't want Ji Xinghe to leave.

Instead of leaving the western theater, he left the Alien Star Battlefield. He knew that Ji Xinghe was going to bring Ji Rong Xinyue back to Azure Star, which in his opinion was a loss for the Federation.

That's why we have today's conversation.

The words he and Liu Mian said were not so much an answer to Ji Xinghe's question as they expressed their thoughts to Ji Xinghe.

But when it came to this point, Ji Xinghe didn't give the response they wanted.

"Here they come."

Ji Xinghe, who was on the front line, saw the imperial aristocratic mecha appearing on the battlefield, so he ended the communication with Davis and others, and entered the cockpit of the God's Punishment Armor that he had completed repair.

This move can be done ahead of time, but it is meaningless, because the great noble mechs of the empire have just joined the battlefield, and the independent regiment and the mecha corps in the western theater cannot contain their mobility for the time being.

It was too early for Ji Xinghe to join the battle, and those big noble mechs would retreat without hesitation.

They are afraid of death.

After activating the optical stealth function of the God's Punishment Armor, Ji Xinghe left the front-line parking area, drove the mech to follow a tank formation, and gradually approached the front-line theater in a cooperative marching mode.

He still has to wait.

In the command center of the western theater, Davis glanced at Liu Mian, and when the two looked at each other, they both felt each other's helplessness.

As the colonel staff officer of the independent regiment, Liu Mian did not want Davis to be disappointed with Ji Xinghe, because Davis has outstanding abilities and a bright future, and he can become a helper for Ji Xinghe or the independent regiment in the future.

Moreover, from distrusting the independent regiment from the beginning to conditionally supporting the independent regiment now, Ji Xinghe's efforts in it should not be let down by Ji Xinghe's return to Azure Star.

He leaned over and took the initiative to speak.

"Actually, his mission has been completed."

"You mean, you created an independent regiment single-handedly and trained more than a dozen ace mecha fighters?"

"Yes." Liu Mian nodded slightly: "And he beheaded so many imperial dukes, which gave us an advantage, so we shouldn't force him to stay."

"But with him, our advantage is greater."

Davis took a deep breath: "You know very well that if he goes back, our advantage will disappear soon. As we said just now, those dukes may often appear on the battlefield in the future, no longer like before. Same, only for our ace mecha fighters, and mecha fighters who are about to be promoted to aces."

Liu Mian was speechless for a while.

He, Davis, and many, many people are very clear that if the war mode on Alien Star remains the same as before, then the advantages brought by Ji Xinghe will be very obvious.

So Ji Xinghe said before that he wanted to go back to Azure Star, and not many people would stop him. For example, Han Li also took the initiative to ask Ji Xinghe to return to Azure Star.

But when the war mode changes, the combat power represented by Ji Xinghe and his ability to cultivate ace mecha fighters are very important to the Federation.

And this point, there are many people in the Federation who can see clearly, so people like Davis who have the conditions to support Ji Xinghe hope that Ji Xinghe will stay.

In the era when mechs are kings, the federation must have a king.

"General Li Yuanba, Colonel Han Li, Colonel Kaidilin, Colonel Rovich, Colonel Qin Tong..."

Liu Mian read out a bunch of names, looked at Davis and said, "They can all replace him. Especially Colonel Han Li, if he can successfully take over the Independence Regiment, I think the glory of the Independence Regiment will always shine on the alien battlefield. "

Davis was silent.

He understood what Liu Mian meant. There was no doubt about who would take over the independent group after Ji Xinghe returned to Azure Star. Ji Xinghe said that Ji Chenxing was killed by him.

But now it is different.

The fighting power of the independent regiment is so strong that all theater commanders want the independent regiment to be incorporated into their command sequence.

And under the circumstances that this is impossible to complete, and when the commanders of all major war zones want to form independent regiments, Ji Xinghe's independent regiment is likely to be split up and become the cornerstone of the four new independent regiments that the Federation plans to build .

In particular, after Kentweiss took over the position of commander-in-chief and Ji Xinghe returned to Azure Star, the split of the independent regiment felt imperative.

Liu Mian is enlisting Davis' help.

And Davis doesn't have that much ability, even if he will definitely be promoted after this battle.

So this shows that the independent group themselves are very aware of their fate of being split, and it will be difficult to stop with Ji Xinghe's departure, and they need as much help as possible.

This also means that Ji Xinghe's return to Azure Star is a doomed fact.

Davis, who remained silent, looked at the light spot representing Ji Xinghe on the big screen, and couldn't bear it all the time.

At the same time, with the participation of the imperial aristocratic mechas, the mechas of the independent regiment and the western theater suffered more and more losses.

He spoke suddenly.

"You know very well that no one can replace Ji Xinghe, not even General Li Yuanba."

This was clearly rejected.

Liu Mian sighed in his heart. He knew that if Ji Xinghe returned to Azure Star, Davis would not only not help the independent regiment maintain the current establishment, but would also push for the split of the independent regiment.

Because from a strategic point of view, this is of great benefit to the Federation.

"Why?" Liu Mian was puzzled, and he asked directly, "I don't understand why you have so much confidence in him."

"Because of Kaidilin." Davis replied without concealment: "Kaidilin watched the video of Han Li's defeat of Yinan, and then he told me that no one can replace Ji Xinghe."

Liu Mian understood, because he also watched the video of that battle.

Although he couldn't understand, the end of that battle was not long, but many people in the Federation watched the video of that battle, including Qin Tong and others, even after they fell asleep, they watched the video for the first time .

Everyone wants to know what kind of backhand Ji Xinghe has left for Han Li, which can be described as Bao Ying.

Many people have seen the answer they can see, that is, the six tungsten steel gold spears behind Xingyue can always give Han Li the greatest help at the most critical moment, and can seize every opportunity to give Han Li the greatest help. Yinan brings an attack that has to be parried or avoided.

After watching it, the mecha fighter thought that the six lances were controlled by six ace mecha fighters at the same time, with a tacit understanding.

Therefore, the battle between Han Li and Yinan was equivalent to seven ace mecha fighters joining forces at the same time to fight Yinan, the great general of the empire.

How could it be impossible to win?

But how did Xingyue do it? Or, how did Ji Xinghe do it?

Regarding this point, Shen Mu gave an answer: Xingyue activated the God of War mode, and used Ji Xinghe as a template, combined with Ji Xinghe's preset auxiliary combat mechanism for Xingyue.

At the same time, evidence was given, Ji Xinghe's recording.

Everyone who heard this recording was convinced by Shen Mu's answer, because the recording almost included all the auxiliary attacks that Xingyue independently made when Han Li drove Xingyue to fight Yinan.

To put it simply, Ji Xinghe predicted 67% of Yinan's maneuvers before Han Li and Yinan started fighting, and informed Xingyue in advance, and set up an auxiliary combat mechanism similar to the question-and-answer mechanism.

No one knew that this recording was supplemented by Ji Xinghe after the battle, and Xingyue modified the recording time. If it wasn't too scary, Ji Xinghe's prediction accuracy could reach 100%.

But 67% is already unbelievable. All those who watched the video and listened to the recording once again felt astonished by Ji Xinghe.

Combined with the fact that Ji Xinghe drove Xingyue to destroy more than 400 imperial mechas with a 1.5-second operation delay, he also defeated the two Marquis mechs that almost killed Han Li, and solved the problem of a Duke mecha. In terms of record, Ji Xinghe's prediction has reached the level of predicting the future in the eyes of many people.

In this case, Kai Dilin said that no one can replace Ji Xinghe, and there is no problem.

But Liu Mian knew that Kai Dilin must have seen another fact that Qin Tong and others also saw, that is, Ji Xinghe left Han Li another back-up.

In contrast, this is the backhand who can really win: Yinan doesn't want to kill Ji Xinghe, it wants to capture Ji Xinghe alive.

The difference in combat power between the two sides seems to be that one side does not have the intention to kill, while the other has the intention to kill, so naturally there will be no surprises in the result.

By the time Yinan saw that he was about to be killed and finally had the intention to kill, Han Li had established an absolute advantage, that is, he took the opportunity to destroy another Duke's armor, and caused serious damage to its armor.

Powerless.

As for why Yinan was unwilling to kill Ji Xinghe in the first place, it didn't really matter.

Because compared to killing Ji Xinghe, capturing Ji Xinghe can have a greater impact on the Federation.

If it wasn't for Han Li's inability to stop, he would have died if he stopped, then he wouldn't have killed Yinan, even though he didn't know that Yinan was in General A at the time.

Capturing an enemy of this level is far more valuable than killing them directly.

In the Federation, there are only two mecha fighters worthy of being captured by the empire, Ji Xinghe and Li Yuanba, and the other generals have no chance of being captured. But Li Yuanba couldn't make Ji Xinghe's prediction as if he could predict the future.

"Yes, no one can replace him, not even General Li Yuanba."

After Liu Mian understood the reason for Davis' attitude, he suddenly gained confidence. He looked into Davis' eyes and said seriously, "So, he will definitely come back."

"Do you think we're making a movie? Return of the King."

Davis's words became more and more blunt: "Only those low-level novel authors who have never seen a real war and only know how to imagine it will write this kind of ridiculous war plot."

Liu Mian was not angry, he saw the light spot representing Ji Xinghe finally moved on the big screen.

"Every story will have a protagonist, and in every period of history, there will be a most glamorous person. One day, our war will also become a story that people say, a history that people learn from textbooks, and The protagonist of this story, the most glorious person in this period of history, why can't it be him?"

"He's sixty-six, no, after this month, he'll be sixty-seven."

"Yeah, he didn't start to shine until he was sixty-five years old, but isn't this more legendary?"

"Then wait until he proves that he can still fight at the age of seventy, then you can talk about the return of the king."

"Yes, he will prove it, and I will also call out the return of the king, if I have not sacrificed by then."

Liu Mian looked at Davis and said, "But there is no medicine for regret in this world. I don't think you will ever forget why he brought an independent regiment to the Western Theater."

Davis froze.

Of course he will not forget that Ji Xinghe brought the independent regiment to the western theater, in a sense, just to avenge Chen Xuan, just to bring Chen Xuan home, everything else can be said to be incidental.

And Chen Xuan is just Ji Xinghe's apprentice in Xinfengcheng Auto Repair Factory.

Is that really an apprentice?

Whether it is not important or not, the important thing is that these people in the independent group are all disciples of Ji Xinghe.

If these people suffered heavy casualties because they were split up, or were even beaten to death...

The returning king will surely be able to drive the world's most powerful mech and possess the world's sharpest knife.

But where will the king's blade point?

As pointed by the blade, how many people who are looking forward to this day will follow at all costs?

A certain determination that Davis had just made because Ji Xinghe wanted to return to Azure Star was suddenly shaken.

And the conversation between him and Liu Mian did not shy away from anyone in the command center of the western theater, and it was recorded.

Many will hear, but more will be shaken?

Or is it because the will of the federation is higher than the will of the individual, the interest of the federation is higher than that of the individual, and the rule of law of the federation is higher than the rules of the individual, and it is destined to sacrifice a small number of people?

"hehe……"

Kentweiss, who also heard the conversation, suddenly sneered twice.

"This Liu Mian is very interesting."

He doesn't care if others shake him, anyway, his idea of ​​creating another independent group will never be shaken.

The era when mechs are king is coming, and he can see it.

Before the application was approved, Yingzhou had already started preparations. The same 300 Zhanshan mechas, including the necessary spare parts, had all entered the manufacturing process.

This is only on the surface.

Kentweiss thought of the mechas prepared by the organization at the top of the tower, as well as the secretly selected personnel with a high synchronization rate.

The empire has undergone some inevitable changes because of this war, so why hasn't the Federation undergone inevitable changes?

If the emperor of the empire is working hard to achieve a high degree of centralization, then the organization at the top of the tower is working hard to prevent the emergence of a high degree of centralization in the federation.

They don't want to continue fighting, but they can't guarantee that this war will enter the stage of peace talks. If the fight continues, the unsustainable federal military will inevitably attempt to create a military-controlled government.

When everything is under military control, capital and politics are two jokes, and the power they possess will disappear in an instant. Even if the subsequent federation will embark on a repeated path, the owners of capital and political power will inevitably change a group of people.

For this reason, those people now have made another preparation.

When he became the commander-in-chief, the people who participated in the war on the alien planet were not only federal soldiers.

They can be called mercenaries, but in essence, they are just armed forces in the hands of capital, helping capital to obtain the long-awaited benefits from this war.

And, to ensure that the power of capital will not be violated, if it is violated, they don't mind the Federation falling into civil strife.

"King? You will never be a king, even in the era when mechs are kings."

Kentweiss looked at Ji Xinghe who had already rushed into the battlefield, and saw the mechas of the imperial nobles who had begun to retreat because of Ji Xinghe's appearance.

Some respect appeared in his heart, but he forcibly snuffed it out again.

"Because the mecha that can make you king is in our hands. If we don't give it to you, what use will you have? No one is irreplaceable, let alone...

You're just an old man who can fight. "
