The weather in the tropical rainforest is like a girl's heart. It changes at a moment's notice, leaving no time for people to react.
The sky was cloudless just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye it was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain. This made the soldiers who had just finished their intense work all morning quite unhappy.
Because their lunches were distributed in tents on the battlefield. What was even more unfortunate was that although the soldiers had raincoats that could cover their entire bodies and prevent them from getting wet in the heavy rain, they did not have the plates they used to serve their lunches.
So lucky.
"Tsk! What the hell kind of weather is this! The sun was so scorching just now."
The soldiers who were queuing up to receive lunch cursed God for not providing them with displeasure on their faces, while deftly taking out something from under their raincoats that could temporarily cover their dinner plates and prevent them from getting wet in the heavy rain.
Then, after receiving his lunch, he quickly covered the plate, turned around and ran back towards the Gnaku where he had been working.
Look at the situation, if I stay in the rainstorm for one more second, my poor lunch will probably be soaked in a plate of rainwater.
"It's really hard work!"
Lei Mingkai stood in the battlefield tent, holding a photo, and took a photo of the soldiers who were cursing God and running back to Gnaku while shaking his head slightly.
The situation here seems to be worse than the influence in Lei Mingkai's mind.
Because, this heavy rain made the scenes that only existed in the animated OP truly reappear in front of Lei Mingkai's eyes.
"This is how the battlefield environment is, Second Lieutenant."
At this time, a voice sounded from behind Lei Mingkai.
He is the commander of the mechanized mixed brigade and the brigade leader, Lieutenant Colonel Kojima.
"Captain, the situation here is indeed a bit beyond my expectation. But overall, it feels okay."
Putting down the photo in his hand, Lei Mingkai said seriously.
"Really? Maybe the headquarters doesn't know much about the situation here, but even if they do, I'm afraid they won't care too much."
Kojima looked towards the direction of Chabro, where the headquarters of the Earth Federation Army was, and said meaningfully.
"Our counterattack is about to begin."
According to the direction of the timeline, at this time, the cosmic battlefield may have entered a critical moment. In that vast universe, a war that will determine the future of mankind on earth is about to begin.
"Haha. It seems that you are quite well informed, Lieutenant." Kojima chuckled and had no intention of continuing on this topic.
After all, for others, the war that is about to begin has only been kept secret so far.
"No. I just have some reliable information channels. After all, my duty is to collect what happened on the front lines of the battlefield and summarize it in writing and send it to the rear."
Lei Mingkai raised the camera in his hand and said calmly.
"Really? Then, Lieutenant, while everyone is here, you might as well start your interview! Otherwise, in half an hour, some teams will attack."
Xiaodao stepped forward and patted Lei Mingkai on the shoulder, then turned and walked away.
"Now?"
Lei Mingkai turned around and looked at the dark clouds above his head that showed no sign of dissipating. I am afraid that under this temporary situation, the heavy rain will continue.
Therefore, Lei Mingkai did not immediately start the interview (inquiry) as Xiaojia said. Instead, he waited until all the lunches were distributed in this simple field kitchen, then he casually picked up a raincoat and put it on his body, heading towards
Gnaku, who was not far away, walked over.
From the observation just now, we know that this Gnaku seems to be used by the 6th team of a certain team.
"Is this the team that was unfortunately ambushed and destroyed when Team 08 was gathering, Team 06?"
Stepping on the water that spread to his heels, Lei Mingkai arrived in front of the Gnaku with the word 06 painted on the door.
Through the half-open door, Lei Mingkai saw at first sight the huge humanoid MS parked in the Gnaku, a land combat type Gundam.
I saw that in the dim light, part of the armor on this tall and mighty Land Combat Gundam was removed, revealing the precise parts inside. And surrounding the Land Combat Gundam was a side-mounted
A lifting platform filled with various parts and tools.
Apparently, this Land Combat Gundam was undergoing repairs not long ago.
Lei Mingkai's eyes moved away from the Land War Gundam, and gradually moved toward the corner of the Gnaku, where subtle voices came from.
Four men and one woman.
A middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a hint of sternness in his eyes.
The people sitting on his left and right hands were a man and a woman respectively.
The man seemed to be in his mid-twenties, with blond hair and a handsome face.
The female is a woman with short brown hair who looks quite feminine.
Finally, sitting in front of these three people, with his back to Lei Mingkai, were a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair on his temples and whose face could not be seen clearly, and another man whose clothes were covered in oil stains. From the back, it seemed that he was
A young man under the age of twenty.
"A guest is coming!"
While Lei Mingkai was looking at these five people, the middle-aged man with a Chinese character and a face also spotted Lei Mingkai standing next to the gate.
As soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, the handsome blond guy sitting next to him immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door, and looked at Lei Mingkai, who was wrapped in a raincoat.
"I am Sergeant Carrost. Who is your Excellency?"
Due to the raincoat and the cover of the heavy rain, Lei Mingkai's appearance looked a little blurry in the eyes of the handsome blond man, and he couldn't distinguish his appearance clearly for a while.
"Can you let me come in and talk? This rain won't stop for a while."
Lei Mingkai smiled slightly, but looked past the handsome blond man and looked at the middle-aged man with a Chinese character face from a distance.
"Carlo, let your Excellency come in!"
The Chinese-character face spoke.
The handsome blond guy named Carlo nodded, stepped aside, and motioned for Lei Mingkai to come in.
When the rainwater dripping from the raincoat fell on the ground, Lei Mingkai finally walked into the Gnaku used by the sixth team.
Taking off his hood, Lei Mingkai saluted and introduced himself: "I am Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai. I am currently performing an interview mission assigned by my headquarters. I wonder if you have time to help me complete this mission?"
Lei Mingkai's face, or his self-introduction, gave all the members of the Sixth Team sitting in the corner a clear understanding.
Yesterday, the news of Lei Mingkai's arrival had already spread in this station.
Anyone who is not a fool will know that this station on the front line welcomed a war reporter sent by the headquarters to conduct an interview here.
As a result, some soldiers were eager to fight, while others were dismissive. The sixth team was one of the latter.
But in view of the orders from the headquarters and the instructions from Captain Kojima, even if he disdains this so-called interview task, the captain of the Sixth Team, that is, the man with the Chinese character face, should not show too much resistance.
"Welcome to the Sixth Team! Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai, I am the captain of the Sixth Team, Lieutenant Leo Tesfit."
"I am the MS pilot of the Sixth Squadron, Menes Lintes." This is the self-introduction of the only female pilot of the Sixth Squadron.
"Member of the Sixth Team, Moste Molint."
"Member of Team Six, Sam Trotter."
Under the leadership of the Chinese character face, all members of the sixth team introduced themselves one after another.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai! I'm glad to be able to cooperate with you!"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lei Mingkai took out a notebook and got ready to start the interview.
However, before Lei Mingkai could speak, Sam Trotter, the youngest and least senior member of the sixth team, was pushed in front of Lei Mingkai by other team members.
"Boy! This glorious mission is entrusted to you. Be brave and be our vanguard!"
The handsome blond guy Carlo pushed Sam down on the seat with a wicked smile on his face. Obviously, this poor little guy had been betrayed by his teammates.
"Hello! Are you ready?"
Lei Mingkai opened his notebook and looked calmly at Sam, who suddenly became a little cautious.
"Uh-huh! I'm ready!"
Perhaps because of nervousness, or perhaps because it was his first interview, this young man who looked like a new recruit looked very timid.
"Sam, calm down. It's just a conversation! I'm not sending you to the battlefield."
Leot couldn't bear to see the team leader with a Chinese character standing on the side, so he spoke to comfort the young team member.
"Yeah. Relax. I'm not a demon who's going to eat you. Sam, why did you become a soldier?"
Lei Mingkai followed Leo's words and directly asked the first question of the interview. And this question was also a cookie-cutter question.
Despite this, among the stereotyped questions, the sixth team member, who was the youngest, the most junior, and the one who was betrayed the most by his teammates, gradually stabilized his position and calmly faced Lei Mingkai's questions.
After a while, Sam's interview ended.
This short interview also aroused the interest of the other members of the Sixth Team. They began to rush to sit on the small stool in front of Lei Mingkai. At the same time, they also rushed to let Lei Mingkai take a few photos for them.
Photos of people.
Lei Mingkai also complied with these requests one by one.
But no one in the Sixth Team knew that this was probably the only single photo they had left before they died in battle.
Moreover, before the interview was over, the heavy rain outside that shrouded the rainforest was as sudden as it came and left as suddenly as it came.
The heavy rain that seemed to last all afternoon suddenly cleared up in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
As a result, the entire station, which had been interrupted by the heavy rain, immediately became busy.
"That's it! Second Lieutenant. I'm very sorry! The Sixth Team will continue to perform the mission. How about we continue to accept the Second Lieutenant's interview after we come back?"
Raising his hand to stop the female pilot Menes who wanted to sit on the stool to be interviewed, Leot looked at the clearing sky outside.
Lei Mingkai followed Leo's gaze and looked outside, then closed the notebook filled with interview transcripts and nodded.
"Then, let's stop this interview for the time being! Thank you everyone from Team 6 for your assistance! Captain Leot, see you later!"
"See you later! Lieutenant, I'm still waiting for you to give me an interview!" Female pilot Menes winked playfully at Remingkai.
"Haha. There will be a chance."
Lei Mingkai waved to everyone who was preparing to attack, then turned and walked out of the Gnaku.
However, after Lei Mingkai stood silently in front of the gate of Gnaku for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the battlefield tent where Captain Xiaodao often stayed.
After a heavy rain, the air in the rainforest is cool.
This gave the island, which could not adapt to air conditioning and could only rely on fans to resist the heat, a sigh that life should be like this. However, this sigh was gone when Lei Mingkai came to visit.
"What?! Ensign, say it again?!"
Kojima's voice was extremely sharp, and he seemed particularly surprised.
He couldn't help but be surprised.
The person who originally thought he was sent by the headquarters to go around and return with the same interview transcript actually made a request at this juncture to follow the team out and conduct frontline interviews.
This made Xiao Dao jump up on the spot.
"Yes! Captain. I request to follow the Sixth Team on the attack, and at the same time conduct a field interview on this battlefield."
Facing Xiaodao's surprise, Lei Mingkai replied calmly.
"mess!"
Xiaodao waved his hand and showed that he would not agree.
"Sir! I am currently carrying out the interview mission assigned by the headquarters! If I just bring back the interview transcripts of our heroic soldiers of the Federal Army, I will not be able to help the headquarters or even the public understand the bravery of our Federal Army, nor can we understand our heroic soldiers.
How did the Federation soldiers defeat the Zeon army that had committed many crimes in a harsh environment, and provide peaceful skies and a quiet life for the people in the rear!"
Faced with the rejection, Lei Mingkai played his trump card. Of course, as the captain, Kojima would not agree to Lei Mingkai's request because of this.
Even the excuse Lei Mingkai used at this time was so righteous.
"War is not a player's home! Lieutenant! The front line is a place for you to joke. Do you know that in this battlefield you are on, a bullet may fly from the dense woods next to it at any time and send you to heaven?
?”
Xiaodao stood up, slapped the table, and looked at Lei Mingkai sternly.
In his eyes, Lei Mingkai, who came for an interview with orders from his headquarters, was just a terrible newborn calf who didn't know anything about war.
"Yes! I know it very clearly! I also understand the environment I am in! I hope the captain can approve my request!"
Lei Mingkai straightened his waist and responded loudly to Xiao Dao's questioning.
"What if I don't approve?" Xiaodao stared sharply into Lei Mingkai's eyes.
"I will stay at the station until the captain approves!"
Lei Mingkai's words made Xiaodao's eyelids twitch.
According to the content of the order, Lei Mingkai was to conduct interviews at this station for a month.
In other words, during this month, Kojima had to endure the harassment of Lei Mingkai who came every now and then to apply to join the team in attacks and conduct frontline interviews.
Thinking of this, Xiaodao couldn't help but slap the table hard.
"Okay! Now that you have fully understood your request and the environment you are in, I approve your request! Second Lieutenant Lei Mingkai! I hope you will not regret it!"
