In Base 6, many people are waiting for the arrival of the transfer convoy from Base 3, looking forward to meeting familiar people again.

The surface area of ​​the alien planet is incomparable to that of the Azure Star, and the area occupied by the Federation is not large. However, the extremely inconvenient transportation and the shortage of related resources have caused many people who met and became familiar with the alien planet to never see each other again after separation.

rare.

We agreed to reunite on the Blue Star after the war was won, but some people could never return to the Blue Star. Even their ashes could only be left on the alien planet and buried on an uninhabited planet.

, gradually buried deeper and deeper by the orange-red dust, until no one can remember where they were buried anymore.

Perhaps one day, humans will completely occupy this planet. The development of science and technology will give humans enough ability to change the environment of this planet, so that this planet will have a real atmosphere, and seeds will be sprinkled on the alien planet.

On the earth, they took root and sprouted and then the wind carried away the new seeds.

When countless seeds spread throughout the alien planet, some seeds will take root in the burial places of forgotten heroes, absorb the heroes' legacy and emerge from the ground, and face the challenges of surviving on the alien planet thousands of years later.

Human beings use the sound of wind and rain to tell stories and people who should not be forgotten.

But people will eventually forget, they will only remember that there was a war on this planet, they will only see some cold and heartless numbers in textbooks, and some of them will even think that they are standing on the moral high ground.

, With faces full of holy light, they condemn the Federation in this war. They will say that all those who praise war are people who will not go to the battlefield. They will say that there is never justice in war...

It's not scary for heroes to have their bones buried in a foreign land. What's scary is that those whom they protected with their lives have a public expression on their faces that says they are not heroes.

…

"Where's Lao Ji? Why didn't Lao Ji come back with the convoy? Didn't he accept the task of escorting the convoy?"

"It's not just the old man, there are also the blind and the lame. Everyone in their Galaxy team has not come back."

"not……"

Master Liu took his apprentices and prepared some gifts for Ji Xinghe to hand over to Ji Rong Xinyue when he returned to Base No. 5. But they finally took some time off from their busy schedule, but they failed to see the return team that was supposed to be there.

Ji Xinghe and Xinghe Team, which made them panic inside.

"Don't fucking fart. Believe it or not, I'm going to give you a slap in the face?"

After Master Liu scolded angrily, he quickly walked towards the hangar, where the people of the convoy would take a short rest, and some people who needed to be transferred from Base 6 would also complete the rendezvous with the convoy there, forming a larger scale.

Huge transfer fleet.

The scolded disciple didn't have any anger at all, only annoyance on his face. He felt that he shouldn't have said those three words.

Everyone worriedly followed Master Liu, and soon arrived at the hangar area, where they saw people joining the convoy. Some of them were familiar to them, and some of them just met in the canteen.

"Lieutenant Colonel Don Qiao."

Master Liu stood in front of the person in charge of the scene. He looked like Ji Xinghe was relying on his old age and asked directly: "Where is Lao Ji? Where is the Xinghe team?"

Tang Qiao replied expressionlessly: "This is confidential."

"Bullshit secrets." Master Liu said angrily: "Don't think that I don't understand what secrets are. Just tell me what you can tell, and don't tell me what you can't. You know what I want to know."

Judging from the military rank, it was obvious that Master Liu was guilty of saying this, which made Tang Qiao a little angry. Why are these people at Base 6 like this? Ji Xinghe is like this, and Master Liu has also become like this. He relies on his old man and betrays his old man.

Can it be contagious?

But military rank belongs to military rank. As the mechanic who stayed at Base No. 6, Master Liu can be regarded as one of the strongest. Tang Qiao really did not dare to offend Master Liu directly.

"Master Liu." Tang Qiao frowned and said, "I can only tell you that Lieutenant Ji Xinghe is fine, and everyone in Team Xinghe is fine."

"Wouldn't it be over if I said this earlier? If you don't hold me back, you'll have to leave..."

Master Liu's mood instantly relaxed. After saying something that Tang Qiao, a native of Yingzhou, couldn't quite understand, he was suddenly stunned for a moment.

"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe? When he left our base today, wasn't he still a second lieutenant? Why did he suddenly become a lieutenant?"

"Sorry, this is confidential."

"hehe……"

Master Liu responded with a sneer and then turned around and left. He greeted his disciples and shared the good news. It would be good if he did not die. It would be even better if he could be promoted, which means that not only did he not die but he also made meritorious deeds.

There are many people in Base 6 who want to wait for Ji Xinghe. Almost all of them have some gifts prepared for Ji Rong Xinyue, so that the transfer fleet does not have enough space to store them. So they want to wait for Ji Xinghe and the Xinghe team

Come here and use mecha to deliver these little gifts.

These people were a little panicked and worried when they didn't see Ji Xinghe appear, but they soon relaxed because of Master Liu's praise. However, they all became curious as to why Ji Xinghe's military rank had been promoted again.

Judging from the difficulty of Ji Xinghe's promotion to military rank in the past, it is so easy to be directly promoted to lieutenant, which shows that Ji Xinghe has made great contributions.

"You guys said, I won't encounter the Imperial mecha again, right?"

"That's for sure. I think Lao Ji should have defeated at least five, no, seven Imperial mechas this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be promoted so easily. Tang Qiao and those people have been suppressing Lao Ji."

"Be bold. I defeated nine Imperial mechas that time. There will definitely be more this time."

"The quantity is not important. I am just curious about why Lao Ji can always turn reconnaissance missions and escort missions into combat missions."

"Then who knows."

…

"Ji Xinghe, I'm really curious, why do you always encounter such things?"

Ji Xinghe, who was rushing to Base No. 6 from the canyon, heard a familiar voice on the communication channel, so he asked: "General Tu Yuan, isn't it bad that I met you?"

"fine."

Tu Yuan, who was on a space battleship in the alien near-Earth space, looked at the eight federal mechas running in the picture captured by the reconnaissance satellite, with some smiles in his eyes.

"Ji Xinghe, your military rank has just been promoted to lieutenant. Your current mission is to continue the previous mission and escort the transfer convoys from Base 3 and Base 6 to Base 5."

"Received." Ji Xinghe's tone was calm, without any feeling of joy.

Tu Yuan pondered for a moment and then asked: "What do you think of that device?"

The jump device in the canyon had been completely destroyed. The Galaxy team that had eliminated all the imperial mechas did not dare to get too close when they led Zhang Ming's team back, for fear that their mechas would step on some useful debris.

There were only guards around, waiting for follow-up support to be in place. After more professional people arrived at the scene, Team Xinghe was authorized to leave the canyon, and Team Zhang Ming was ordered to stay in the canyon.

Ji Xinghe failed to dismantle those imperial mechas, and the several prisoners of imperial nobles he captured were not under his control, because he liked to behead imperial orangutans in public. The news had spread with his achievements this time, and no one

Dare him leave with the prisoners.

"My opinion..." Ji Xinghe pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Aren't you a civilian general in charge of recruiting soldiers?"

The Federation did not have the rank of civilian general in the past. In the army, professional and technical positions above junior level and positions above clerk level are collectively referred to as civilian cadres. Generally speaking, only the corresponding grades of civilian cadres do not have military ranks, and a very small number of people who hold administrative positions can

You can obtain a military rank only after you have obtained a military rank, or you have transferred from a civilian cadre to an active-duty officer.

But it is almost impossible to obtain the rank of general, and Tu Yuan is one of the precedents in this regard.

"I have changed my position and am no longer a civilian general."

"Then, can we two have a fight?"

The inexplicable sudden challenge made Tu Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. He thought of the first time he met Ji Xinghe. Ji Xinghe said that he could fight ten generals like him. It turned out that Ji Xinghe lied.

Ji Xinghe, a peerless master, could not only defeat ten Tu Yuan, but even a hundred Tu Yuan with bare hands might not be able to defeat Ji Xinghe.

He also knew why Ji Xinghe said this and why he embarrassed himself in public even though he knew there must be other people around him.

"We will talk about some personal matters later when we have time, let's get down to business now."

"Private matter?" Ji Xinghe asked back but did not pursue the question, but seriously talked about business.

"I think that the diamond-shaped metal body is part of the jump device. It is not a real jump device. It is just a receiver-like existence. The empire dropped the diamond-shaped metal body into the canyon through airdrop.

Because there are parachute fragments in the canyon."

Ji Xinghe recalled everything he saw and continued to talk about his analysis results.

"The first imperial mecha formation I discovered was teleported into the canyon through a diamond-shaped metal body. Otherwise, there is no reason why they could pass through the blockade silently. Its ability to receive transmissions should have a time interval, so

The second mecha formation arrived a step too late. It is also possible that they determined through some means that the canyon was under air attack, so they sent the second mecha formation with the purpose of destroying the diamond-shaped metal body and silencing them."

"Before they were discovered by us, their original plan was to transport the diamond-shaped metal bodies closer to Base Three or closer to Base Six, and then transport a large number of mechas and other corresponding weapons.

, launched a surprise attack on us..."

"Old Ji." Tu Yuan changed his name to Ji Xinghe and asked seriously: "How do you think we should deal with this device?"

"Interference is similar to signal interference. Their purpose of coming to the Grand Canyon is very clear. They want to determine that the Grand Canyon is suitable for using this device. Or, to calculate the relevant coordinate information of the Grand Canyon, etc." Ji Xinghe analyzed:

"But no matter how you look at it, the conditions for the use of this device are very strict. We can interfere with it, predict in advance where such devices may appear, and prevent them from suddenly appearing behind us."

"It's difficult for us to do what you said in a short period of time, but..." Tu Yuan pondered slightly: "I have another response plan, do you want to hear it?"

Ji Xinghe was silent. He knew that what Tu Yuan wanted to ask was not to listen, but to give it a try.

"you say."
