Counterfeit Hero

A shrill alarm sounded in the airport. Countless Leray soldiers rushed out of the barracks, ran forward, or jumped on rail cars to rush to the dock where the battleships were berthed amidst the officers' commands and repeated announcements.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle on the pier. White lights illuminate the huge enclosed space. The red light of the warning light swept across the battleship in circles. Countless transfer robot arms are like the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, frantically transporting material containers onto the warship.

Soldiers came from all channels like a tide. There were footsteps and shouts.

As the thick steel hatches on the shoulders were tightly closed during the contraction of the hydraulic arms, one warship after another floated backwards and turned away from the huge magnetic tractor and sailed through the white air isolation curtain outside the berth. After the fully opened transparent locks rushed into space and rushed to the gathering airspace, more than 100 warships in the airport had all taken off in less than twenty minutes. Looking up, as the battleship goes away, the blue ion light tail flickers in and out of the dark universe like fireflies in the night.

The dock was empty.

The automatic magnetic tractor slowly retracts to the edge of the berth. There were vomiting sounds one after another. This voice is so clear and lonely in this empty space.

The ground staff were not busy driving work mechas to conduct routine inspections of the dock. They just stood there in a daze and watched the battleship go away until the spots of blue light became as small as a needle tip and disappeared little by little into the black universe.

A veteran squatted on the ground covering his face.

Several empty rail cars, port transport forklifts and a loading mecha were parked beside him. On the empty berth in front of him, the automatic robotic arms were still in a chaotic position of transporting or grabbing. The air isolation curtain made huge noise throughout the pier. They are all shrouded in an atmosphere of despair.

What kind of warships are they taking off?

The scarred hull and the dilapidated paint made a squeaking sound as soon as it was activated, as if it was about to fall apart. Many battleships even showed large holes that had been penetrated and had not completed the most basic repairs.

This is the main force of the Leray Federation fleet. The proportion of new warships among them is less than 10%. Most of them are old warships from the original local fleet. There are even quite a few. It was just converted from a large civilian ship. It's more like a group of beggars than Leray's regular fleet!

But it was these battleships that blocked the Newton Galaxy jump point for a whole year, repelling the attacks of the West York fleet again and again, and guarding the last land of the Leray Federation.

Sacrifice on this land is no longer a shocking word. It has become part of life. You only need to look around the airport, which could have parked thousands of battleships, and walk around the vast empty camp to know. The meaning of sacrifice.

But how much more blood can this Yuan family shed?

How many warships are left that can return to this airport after taking off this time?

Looking at the empty berth. No one knows the answer and no one dares to think about it.

"How many warships can we leave in twenty days?" Flavio stood on the tall building of the shipyard and watched the shipyard not far away. Countless workers in the brightly-lit shipyard were busy working like ants on the hull of a battleship. It is said that the hull actually looks like a steel shell with just a little shape.

After hearing Flavio's question, the logistics officer accompanying the tour quickly said: "Look, we have forty shipyards still under construction. Eight ships can be produced, but they need to be combat effective." "Not even one, right?" "Flavio smiled bitterly. The deep wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes seemed to have become deeper. "The fleet will just wait until the replenishment of ships can take off. At this time, it still cares whether it can form a combat effectiveness?" As he said this, he turned to look down. Go. A group of officers and officials followed him, looking at each other in silence.

"Sobol really thinks highly of us." Flavio's originally upright body suddenly bent down after getting on the flying car.

He took the medicine handed over by the confidential secretary, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it with water, let out a long sigh, and turned his gaze to the brightly-lit shipyard dock. The lights of the flying car were quickly thrown into the distance. Gradually it turned into a mixed mass of light.

Flavio turned back and leaned back in his chair. A pair of eyes with already somewhat slack eyelids looked intently at the roof of the flying car. His eyes were as if he wanted to see through the roof of the car and see the space battlefield filled with energy cannons in the interstellar space that day.

Eight battleships in twenty days.

A bitter taste instantly filled his mouth.

He bent down and opened the wine cabinet on the side, waved his hand to stop the confidential secretary who was about to come forward to help, poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Let the hot liquid rush from your throat to your stomach.

Is Newton's Jump Point finally lost? !

"Your Excellency." Admiral Malki, who was the commander-in-chief of the Leray Federation Space Navy, opened his mouth with difficulty and said slowly, "Can we let the bandit army go?" The eyes of the confidential secretary beside him suddenly lit up.

Yes, the bandit army! There are also bandits! This force is led by Tian Xingjian, the hero of Lelei. Half a year ago, this was just a militia and a miscellaneous army in everyone's eyes. Now it is an ally on an equal footing with the Fei League. It is a special force fully supported by the military god Hastings. It has eight super fleets and everyone in Mars. Partner!

Although the strength of the bandit army is nothing compared to that of any Yuan family. But for Le Lei, who is watching, they are the last resort.

They will come back with just a telegram from His Excellency the President. The nearest bandit fleet is in the Longbow System, under the leadership of Admiral Russell.

"No!" Flavio's voice interrupted the confidential secretary's fantasy.

It was like being poured a glass of ice water over a confidential secretary who stared blankly at his president. I don’t understand why he didn’t bring back the bandits at this time. That's Lere's troops. Are they going to be allowed to help others fight when Lere's last land is captured? !

The flying car speeds silently on the road.

The confidential secretary who stared blankly at Flavio suddenly saw a trace of struggle and pain in the eyes of the old man he faced every day.

"I can't bring them back." Flavio struggled with the wine glass in his hand and swallowed hard, his eyes looking straight at Malki's face, his voice hoarse.

"Why" we observe in our own scriptures "Do you remember a few months ago? ” Flavio interrupted Malchi “Our situation. Not much better than watching. "Malki opened his mouth but didn't speak.

How could I not remember everything that had happened in the past few months, from the commander of Newton's local fleet to the commander-in-chief of Leray's space navy who was watching. Every battle plan is drawn up personally. I spent far more time at the Newton Galaxy Jump Point than at Galliparan! .

I don’t even know how I survived it. “But we persisted. Why?” Flavio gritted his teeth. “In the past, Fisichella controlled the command of the Allied forces in the southeast theater. He wanted to fight passively. There is nothing we can do against him to retreat to the Galileo system or even leave LeRae. However, the fleets of Chakna, Tartania and Putitok, who should have been under his command, are helping us guard Newton's jumping point. And why?" Before Malki could speak, Flavio gave the answer himself. He slammed his fist on his knees: "It's because we still have bandit troops outside and General Russell Bell. Lieutenant General Tian Xingjian, General Nadot, leads our last force in LeLei and still has a say in the Allied Forces!" in the flying car. There was silence.

After a long while, Flavio took a long breath and said slowly: "This is President Hamilton and General Mikhailovich. It is also the path chosen by all of us. The fat man has done a good job and I can't talk about him at this time. The hind legs. If the bandits in Guzai are sharp blades, then they need a blade that is hard enough and thick enough. Chakna is the blade of this knife. Guzai may also add Marshal Hastings. In this way The situation is something we could not have dreamed of a year ago." He looked out the window and his voice was distant and gentle: "Only by winning Leske and Le Ray can we win real freedom. Recruiting them back is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs. . No one knows what the future will bring. Now that we have reached this point, we must continue. After the jump point is lost, we and the army can still fight on the earth. I will stay here and die." Flying Car The light from the street lights flashing silently passed through the car window and fell on Flavio's side.

Malki looked quietly at the determined president. A silent sigh came out.

As a LeLei soldier in this era, are you still afraid of death? ! It's a pity that I still can't hold Newton's jumping point after all. Even if you die on the battlefield without taking a step back, it will be your own shame.

Building No. 6 in the base complex area is a spiral-shaped high-end intelligent building.

The silver-white metal components, the elegant bullet-type suspended elevator, the wide lighting design, and the ubiquitous intelligent management and service systems give the building distinctive architectural features of this era. However, when people step out of the elevator door on the 23rd floor, their impression of the building will suddenly take a completely opposite turn.

Taking up the entire twenty-third floor was an officer's drink.

The wine style is ancient and the use of a large number of wooden decorations and fabrics makes this place full of the style of a rural tavern in the 18th century. When you get here, you can easily feel a step back in time. The tavern owner's rough and arrogant style, which deliberately isolates all elements of the audience, has a kind of indulgence inherited from the cold weapon war, which attracts many officers.

Although it was not yet five o'clock in the afternoon, the pub was already overcrowded.

The female singer who had just finished her performance on the stage was smiling and talking to an officer who was holding her waist. The band members next to her were either immersed in tuning the strings of their guitars or sipping beer. Officers in neat clothes and elegant demeanor walked leisurely around the tavern. From time to time, he would exchange warm and ambiguous glances with the beautiful waitress he passed by.

The whole tavern was filled with a joyous bustle.

Men talk loudly and even argue. The flirtatious waitresses clinked glasses with each other. No one here thinks about the evil tyrants of war anymore. Life becomes easy with alcohol and cigars.

Every time someone raises a glass of wine, a neat toast breaks out in the tavern.

"To hell with Siyo!" What followed was a wild roar of laughter.

At this moment, a handsome young Siliyak federal officer with short brown hair was sitting on a chair near the window. He held a glass of beer in his left hand and put his right hand on the back of the chair to rest his chin. He smiled and turned to his companions: "Hey, buddy, have you heard that the first 12th-generation mass-produced mecha has been launched?" The production line is over." The officers who had just sat down and were looking around the wine hall with interest, waiting for the next program, were suddenly interested in the brown officer's topic. They all turned around.

"Offline?" "I heard that too." "I heard that the new mecha is no longer Thunder. Is it true?" During the questioning, the brown officer turned his head and looked out the window and said: " You still don’t know that the name of the new mecha is Hengxing, which was given by General Tanaka of the Bandit Army himself." The huge bandit base outside the window is like an entrenched monster, making bursts of noise from time to time.

Heavy trucks and transport mechas were passing through the roads of the base. Bandit officers and soldiers in blue uniforms were walking by the road in groups. Two cyan "Ranger" vehicles stood solemnly at the entrance of the base. However, the appearance of the fat man looked funny. Next to it, several sentries with serious and meticulous faces were checking the documents of entering vehicles and personnel.

"Hyper?" An officer in shorter clothes slapped the table and praised, "This name is domineering." "Hegemony is domineering." A lieutenant colonel from the Ike Democratic Federation, the largest Fifa League member in the west, curled his lips and said, " I just don’t know if these “legends” can be as tyrannical as they are here on the battlefield.” The deputies exchanged strange looks. They all laughed secretly n they knew. Lieutenant Colonel Wenke and his unit had just come from Al-Aqsa Base because they didn't know how powerful the bandits were. A few days ago, I had a conflict with some soldiers from the bandit army. It goes without saying that the lieutenant colonel, who was wronged first, was scolded by his superiors and had just been released from the solitary room. If this guy hadn't been their teacher's beloved general, he wouldn't have thought of sitting here drinking today.

Fighting between armies during wartime is a common occurrence. In particular, it is not uncommon for people to get into fights over drinks outside the military camp and then turn into a melee. They are all men who have been through life and death and no one takes this kind of thing seriously. They were having a lively fight just now, but now they are drinking with each other hooked up.

The army of one garden is like this, let alone the huge military camp where more than twenty different families of the Fei League are gathered here. It would be abnormal if something like this didn't happen every day.

This base has never been quieter since the bandits entered the base. Not to mention the feat of beating Feiyang's 31st Army at the beginning, how come these bandits don't get into a few fights these days?

There are many officers present in this wine. They all worked with bandits. It's strange to say that after the fight, many people became friends with the bandits. Of course, these are all Yuan family members who have close relations with the bandit army, while other soldiers of the Yuan family who need to keep a distance from the bandit army hate it with itch when they mention the bandit army. .

In this way, the entire base becomes a faction.

Those who support Hastings and the bandit army are mostly gardeners in the Southeast Star Region and some isolated small gardens. And some gardeners, such as Lane Republic Garden, have now joined Li Fu's camp. Although on the surface we are all allies and are not going to fight, let alone life-and-death enemies, the differences in their respective positions still make the base full of gunpowder.

but. In any case, from the initial disdain to the later mystery and then to the familiarity and even awe of the trouble-making bandits, they naturally integrated into this huge barracks.

anyway. I am still a little depressed about the bandit army and the grandson brothers.

Logically speaking. Many of the bandits are private mechas from Mars who control mechas. If you say hand-to-hand combat, it's just a side dish. Although there are also many Leray special forces and many skilled Mars shoulder mercenaries among them. But in terms of overall strength, they still don't have the ability to win every battle.

Can be biased. These grandsons just win big and small. So much so that when everyone in this base talks about fighting with the bandits, sweat breaks out on their foreheads.

The reason is simple. Those bandits don't follow any rules or morals at all. He made his companions beat the sap and stalk him when the wind was down, and he got carried away and ran away without shame when the wind was against him. Not to mention these things, what is even more disgusting is that these guys are so stupid. It’s all downhill. It’s outrageous.

No one who has fought with them in these days can be pleased with them.

Later everyone became familiar with each other. After asking about it, I found out that apart from the Lelei soldiers and shoulder mercenaries in the bandit army, a group of civilian rookie pilots had actually received training in Mars. Even if it's not as good as the special forces' hands and feet, it still has some tricks up its sleeve. That pitiful face was all fucking fake.

The person who trained them was General Tian. When the lieutenant general was here, he practiced with them every day. When he was away, a group of Le Lei officers who had received regular military training were in charge.

The teaching materials they practice on weekdays. It was also formulated by General Tanaka himself. It is said that it came from the experience of the lieutenant general training a group of terrorists behind enemy lines in Gacharin.

Every time I mentioned the bandit leader, the bandits were extremely humble about their shameless tricks. One has to wonder what kind of bird their lieutenant general is.

"These bandits!" The officers looked at Federal Lieutenant Colonel Ike who was yelling angrily and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"The performance of Rampant is even more powerful than that of the prototype Thunderbolt." A Lieutenant Colonel of Dandaniya chuckled and waved his hand at Federal Lieutenant Colonel Ike to change the subject and said, "Have you heard about what happened at the mecha finalization meeting? This time Feiyang and several major arms dealers in Lane have lost everything. They spent money and effort, but in the end, the bandits got the peaches." "That Lieutenant General Tian is evil enough." A major shook his head and laughed: "It's really a psychology. Those with poor tolerance may get sick from anger. Why does this trick of monkey picking peaches look so familiar to me?" There was another burst of laughter.

The short officer turned around and looked around: "Why haven't any of these guys come today? It's almost four o'clock and the scraping training hasn't ended yet?" "I'm afraid it's not over yet from the sound." A major stretched his neck and went to He glanced out the window and said, "Speaking of which, when I went to the bandit army base last time to do business, I watched their primary training. When I came back, it was like playing to watch our own training." This is a gang of real bandits who have a gangster spirit in their bones, and their training is like risking their lives. "As he spoke, the major glanced at the other officers of the Yuan Family in the hall and whispered:

"It's ridiculous that some people regard them as militiamen. If the troops of the Fiji League were really as good as these militiamen, they would have won this battle long ago." "What do you think the coalition command is thinking?" An officer grinned and said, "The frontline is so tight. Why are there no bandit troops in the third surge? I heard that there are more than a hundred level nine mecha warriors in the two divisions in the base." "Hundreds of level nine mecha warriors." Level 9 mecha warriors?" The brown officer on the side sneered, "I tell you, there are not only 5,000 but 4,000 level 9 mecha warriors in these two divisions of the bandit army!" Hissed, there was a gasp of air from all around.

"Do you really think that the 31st Army is so easy to bully?" Officer Brown rolled his eyes. "At the beginning, the bandit army only attacked one division! They also disarmed long-range weapons!" Even though everyone knew that the bandit army fought with many officers. I took advantage of my authority to find the opportunity to watch the original video. But after all, what the camera captured during a melee was the bandit war gods. Besides, I wasn't fighting in person and I couldn't tell anything from the camera. I just knew that the 31st Army didn't take a beating very well.

At this time, when the brown officer said this, everyone felt their hearts beating wildly.

I also guessed that the number of high-level mecha warriors in the bandit army was so large that it was beyond the range of psychological endurance and could only be described as unbelievable. These are only two divisions. God bless you if you include the large force of the bandits in Mars.

Looking at the disbelieving eyes of his companions. Officer Brown continued: "Don't believe it yet. Do you know that the special battalions of the two divisions of Feihan are all tenth-level mecha warriors. Each battalion is fully staffed with 450 people, and there are at least 30 more in it. A mecha god of war!" The officers held their wine glasses and burst into an uproar at the same time.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, even if it is just bragging, only the bandits have the qualifications.

If this kind of data were applied to other troops, they would have been drowned in saliva.

The noise attracted side glances from the crowd, including several Ryan officers, in the seats next to them, many of them showing contempt and disdain.

During this period of time, everyone has heard a little bit about the twelfth generation mecha. We are particularly concerned about the interests of each garden.

Those who were pro-bandit got an advantage. It’s inevitable to feel proud. And those Yuan family members who originally had various priorities in the twelfth-generation mechas can imagine the difference in mood from heaven to hell.

Among them, Lane is the most important.

Li Fo's regiment and Guan Zai fought on the Lane battlefield. The battle in the Catalonia galaxy has already made Ryan's military and government leaders admire Li Fu. With the two sides fully cooperating in all aspects, it is absolutely impossible to side with the bandits at this time. Therefore, the twelfth-generation mecha suffered the most.

In addition, the situation on the front line has continued to deteriorate in the past few days, and all the Allied forces are in intensive combat preparation, ready to join the battle of Resk. However, the bandits are sitting on the front fish platform and leisurely. Comparing the two, various words will inevitably be spread everywhere. This has also led to increasingly serious hostility among the base.

Seeing that the benefactor next to him had a bad look, the officers sitting by the window also stared back coldly.

The temperature in the wine suddenly seemed to drop to zero degrees. The noise is getting smaller and smaller. The silver-tongued laughter of the waitress who shuttled like a butterfly gradually faded away. The singer who was about to sing on the stage stood blankly on the stage. The band musicians looked at each other. My fingers were so stiff on the instrument that I felt helpless. .

"Flattery. You have to choose a better partner." The cold atmosphere was broken by the disdainful voice of a Colonel Lane. He looked at his companion next to him, but his voice was loud enough for everyone in the wine room to hear. He said: "A group of militiamen who only know how to fight and cause trouble, and a group of robbers and thieves are also honored to have their butts licked so diligently. It makes people blush when they see it." "Why are you blushing?" a Tadanian officer retorted. "Some people lick the buttocks of ambitious people. Don't they always stick out their tongues and spare no effort?" "General Liver is at least fighting on the front line." Lieutenant Colonel Lane snapped the case and said angrily, "What did the bandits do?" "Who did Le Lei fight with for four years but not to death?" A Major Putitock here suddenly stood up and looked back angrily, "Mars was not captured by bandits? The Longbow Galaxy was not captured by bandits." Wasn't the mountainous area in the northern part of Yanlangxing conquered by General Tian? Li Fo just won a battle in Catalonia, so proud of himself!" As soon as the bandit army's record was displayed, there was a sudden silence.

Some neutral officers couldn't help but nod. In retrospect, Lelei and the bandits were not idle in the southeastern star region.

"Admiral Li Fo has issued a notice that a large-scale attack will be launched to the west from now on." A northwest gardener who has always been on good terms with Lane Republic Garden, the principal of Esperia Republic Garden Middle School, stood up and snorted coldly: "The Carlston Galaxy in the central theater is constantly retreating. Only Admiral Li Fo is holding up the bandit army in the Lane theater alone. Why is he not on the list of the third troop increase?!" This time. They are preying on the weak points of the pro-bandit officers.

No matter what the bandit army's previous record was, it was a fact that their names were not included in the third increase in troops.

"You can't be considered a hero just by hiding in your lair." "I'm afraid that no matter how hard you brag, your true colors will be revealed once you're dragged onto the battlefield." "Even if you're dragged on to the battlefield, it won't be of any use. Just two divisions like this are not enough for the Jipeng people to chew on." Yes!" Seeing that the pro-bandit army officers were dumbfounded, cynicism and sarcasm started to spread.

The tension on the front line has long been known to all. Even though everyone is drinking and chatting here, it looks like they are leisurely. In fact, among the hundreds of military officers from all walks of life in this wine, who is not worried about the situation of Reske's battle?

We are about to go to the front line and join the battle, but everyone knows it. This third phase of additional troops is far from enough for the Reske battle situation. It's not that the Fei League can't come up with more troops, but it will take time. But will Xi Jie give Fei Meng time?

During this time, everyone was staring at the bandit army.

The people sitting in this corner are all Yuan family members who have good relations with the bandits. Everyone has even heard rumors in their own troops that they are preparing to establish a new military alliance with the bandits.

But after all, these are just a few Yuan families in the Southeast Star Region.

Most of the more than 20 alliance troops stationed in the base probably just looked at the bandits with a cold eye, and some even just sneered unabashedly in their daily conversations.

There are harsh rumors that the reason why the bandits are not on the list of additional troops is because the Fifa League headquarters has no subordinate relationship with them at all. We are all "allies" and it is up to us whether we fight or not. Seeing that the war on the front line is so brutal, people have to use good steel on the blade, wait until these cannon fodders rush in, and then go up to grab the credit with a devastating force.

As long as the bandit army is not on the list of reinforcements, there is no way to refute such cynicism. If the bandits want to prove themselves, they have to go to the battlefield. This is a war den where no matter what happens, the mules and horses have to be taken out for a walk.

Seeing that the other person was getting more and more proud as he spoke, the brown officer glanced out the window. His eyes narrowed and a smirk appeared on his lips. He estimated the time in his mind, grabbed the cup and slammed it at the loudest officer Lane.

"Fuck you!" There was a riot in the wine. The officers from both sides raised their fists and rolled up their sleeves, and there was a melee. For a moment, cups and stools were flying in the air.

After a while, the wine door was pushed open.

A group of bandit officers in blue uniforms walked in, "Oh, we're going to start fighting before we get here today." At first, a bandit officer was so excited that his eyes turned green, he picked up a wine glass, stepped on the table, and rushed forward. Into the melee crowd. Behind him, more than a dozen bandit army officers came up screaming. .
