"Hey, brother, can I ask you two things?"

"Brother, I don't dare to take it on, let alone what you asked me to do, but it's okay to listen."

"Then let me get it straight. First, although I heard that you have a good record of crippling the mecha every time you attack in the north, please be gentler next time you drive the mecha. How about you?

It's just a small amount of wealth, I won't let you play like that. Secondly, can you please stop being so arrogant? The results are getting more and more scary. The officers' eyes were blinded by the report, and they thought they wrote the wrong numbers.

.”

"That's what happens if you accidentally get into a state. Be careful next time."

The old cat and I stood by the dilapidated port, walking back and forth, chatting listlessly. In front of us, two military cranes that had just been dug out of the ruins lifted my [Black Falcon] that was seriously damaged by water from the sea.

It was fished out, and the disabled [Seren] was fished out earlier for "research and study".

The base was severely beaten. A total of three small military ships were lost. More than 300 personnel below the base commander were injured or killed. Fourteen tanks and ten infantry fighting vehicles were lost. Twelve heavy fighter jets parked in the open air were also destroyed.

, the infrastructure was extensively damaged and could not be used for at least three months. The Satsuma attack

The army didn't get any advantage either. All the mechas that landed were killed by the madman and I cooperated. The mechas that didn't land were caught by the madman. A salvo of rockets fired all the mechas and submarines into the deep sea, and there was a bleak scene.

Comparing the situation, the teaching group should be regarded as the only unit that gained something in this raid.

My record is quite appalling. I destroyed seven small amphibious spy planes, destroyed two large amphibious spy planes, and captured one. Almost 80% of the landing force was equipped with only half of the engine and only 30% of the armaments.

The mechas were annihilated using land combat.

No wonder the superiors couldn't believe it.

"The benefits prepared for you by the navy and air force are probably going to increase again. This time, the commander of the non-independent forces may not be able to reward you for your efforts. But it's a pity. Although the aircraft are used, the land record is not included in the number of kills.

,So, your kid’s total score is still 1.5 Taiwan.”

The old cat said regretfully.

"...Please, can you not say such disappointing things?"

In fact, I want to switch places with the madman, because so far I have killed all mechas, and to be honest, I am tired of killing them all. I am particularly interested in what it would be like to sink a submarine with a displacement of thousands of tons.

.

I moved my butt, but I still felt uncomfortable sitting there. After a closer look, I found a bloody human hand from the haystack under my butt!

"By the way, did the Satsuma Army declare war on us so soon?"

I threw the severed limb out casually, then clapped my hands and asked.

"The more you live, the more you look like a machine," the old cat frowned, "Who said war was declared? There was no war at all."

This time it was my turn to frown.

"I'm going to start a war without declaring it. It's so shameless. Let's ask Boss Chen to mobilize the troops and beat them up."

"Who said they were the Satsuma Army?"

The old cat suddenly asked confusedly.

I'm talking nonsense. The mechas are all of the Satsuma navy standard. I'll also give you a captive mecha soldier. If it's not a Satsuma, it's some bullshit.

"Sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be used as evidence," the old cat said with a cat face, "The mecha is from Satsuma, but the organization is not within the Satsuma Army, and all the mechas do not have production serial numbers.

, and there is no mark whatsoever. Although the mecha soldiers are of Satsuma race, their nationality is not Satsuma."

The old cat named a small Pacific island country with a population of less than a hundred, and explained that everyone else was the same. There were people from all countries in the world, but there was no Satsuma.

"Then who are they?"

"Black Troops."

I am no stranger to this term. Just a few months ago, Asimov tried his best to win over me and bring mercenaries together to become such a dirty army. In the end, I scolded him back. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, everything happened.

I've got this military garbage in my hands.

"Then what should we do about this?"

I asked depressedly, originally I thought I could let go and have a good fight.

"Anyway, the visitor is not good-natured. He is either a provocation or a test. From now on, all coastal bases will enter the second level of combat readiness." Old Mao stood up, "So are your teaching groups."

"Hey, but we have to report back to the academy the day after tomorrow..."

"The higher-ups have already arranged for you to take three weeks' leave. However, I have tried my best to be careful in the recent period and avoid causing trouble there. To be honest, there has been some misalignment between the Republic and the Treaty's senior officials recently..."

The old cat's tone was very tangled, which to be honest was not a good thing.

"But the current combat strength of our teaching group is still seriously insufficient."

I'm telling the truth. There are a total of eighteen people, two mechas, and even dry hair is not enough.

"Don't worry about this. I have already invited a strong new force from outside through connections, which is enough to cover the defense gap. Okay, let's go to the military division auditorium."

"Why are you going there? The memorial service should be at the funeral home."

"That's for next week. Now let's start with the medal ceremony."

As soon as I got off the car, I saw an incredible sight: the wreckage of the destroyed mecha was neatly arranged in two rows in the small square in front of the auditorium, like some kind of weird art, and there were a bunch of reporters.

They were holding long guns and short cannons and taking pictures of these metal garbage non-stop. Ten times the number of onlookers were taking pictures outside the cordon with their mobile phones, and the "click" of flashlights was heard.

"What kind of trick is this?"

I was puzzled.

As a result, the old cat gave me a blank look like an idiot.

"Nonsense, of course it's a diversion. Do you want to drag them to the base to make a documentary?"

"That makes sense, but your sister's big scene requires me to change my clothes!"

I pulled at the corner of my clothes. I was still wearing the training soldier uniform I wore when I sent Edith off yesterday. It was burned to a mess in the battle, and was torn when the cockpit was deformed by the construction machinery.

There is no difference in the beggar's costume.

"It doesn't matter, this look is not very good, it looks like a hero."

The old cat laughed disgustingly.

I was about to beat him up, but I didn't know who shouted "he's here", and dozens of reporters suddenly swarmed me, surrounding me on three levels inside and three outside. The flashes of cameras blinded me.

When I spoke, the cannon-like microphone almost poked into my mouth, and each of them had longing eyes as if they wanted to eat me.

"Second Lieutenant Chen, it is said that you killed ten mechas by yourself. Is this true?"

"Second Lieutenant Chen, are you really not even using the mecha's flight function? Is it out of self-confidence or some other reason?"

"Second Lieutenant Chen, how do you evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Satsuma Army?"

"Second Lieutenant Chen..."

All kinds of random questions came to me like raindrops, and I was stunned. When I was watching TV before, I couldn't understand why every guy who was interviewed had a dead face. Now I know that it doesn't matter if you have a dead face and a psychological quality.

That's good. My expression at that time must have been very funny and embarrassing.

Because I can't say a word.

"Hey, don't make any mistakes and say something quickly."

The old cat was poking me desperately on the side like a responsible agent.

Holy shit, the key is that I can’t say it.

At this time, another military vehicle arrived. A lunatic in stiff uniforms and dressed like a dog walked down in a swaggering manner. When he saw this posture, he was so frightened that he could not retract his tongue, and he quickly prepared to run away on tiptoe.

"Hey, the hero who destroyed the Satsuma Army's 10,000-ton submarine carrier is here. Just go and ask him!"

I shouted quickly, and the reporters immediately turned their heads and pounced on the dumbfounded lunatic like a group of zombies. Most of the people present were media reporters with little military knowledge. It is estimated that there are not many submarines in appearance.

After describing the description, I felt that the concept of the 10,000-ton class was quite awesome. It seemed to be even more awesome than ten mechas. I hurriedly plugged in the microphone and flashed his eyes. I was very busy.

.

"Chen Xiang, I fucked your ancestor!"

These were the last words of the unlucky guy who was overwhelmed by zombies.

I laughed evilly and walked toward the door of the auditorium, but someone was already standing there earlier than me, and he was an acquaintance.

"Welcome the battle heroes!"

General Chen Tianmin arrived at an unknown time and shouted vigorously and took the lead in applause. The whole place burst into applause, which lasted for more than three minutes and did not stop. I stood in the middle of the applause for a long time without realizing it. In the past twenty years of my life

In my experience, I have

I have been applauded countless times, and I have paid tribute to countless class committee members, good students, study activists, scholarship winners, and various student union cadres, but I never thought that one day I would be the one being applauded.

Inspiring protagonist.

It's so incredible, it seems like I'm dreaming.

The ceremony was relatively monotonous. Music was played, medals were awarded, a few nonsense words were said, and then the salute was completed. Both Madman and I received a first-class combat medal. It is said that this thing is only awarded to those who have made meritorious service during the war. It is very rare.

Before he finished, Chen Tianmin also announced one important thing.

"In view of the outstanding military exploits of the two lieutenants, they have been promoted to two ranks with the approval of the Ministry of National Defense..."
