The defense system of the Republic can be divided into two parts.
The first part is from the outside to the inside, mainly composed of satellite guns. The satellite rotates around the planet according to its orbit, and can attack any designated place between the satellite and the planet, 360 degrees without dead ends.
The other part is from the inside out. The weapons are rooted in the planet's land, and are launched to the outside according to the command. Among the bunch of weapons used for defense, the weapon that caused the coalition forces the most headache was the "Red Lotus Banquet". Its gun body has a diameter of six kilometers, contains a huge light energy collection system, breaks through the limitation of artificial energy supply, and is powerful enough to wipe out a fleet in the blink of an eye. Even if phase change materials are applied to the new fleet of the coalition forces, the warships after phase change still cannot withstand the pain of an attack.
"We must destroy the 'Red Lotus Banquet'," otherwise it will be difficult to approach the capital. Wu Qiao frowned, "This is their last hope, and they are struggling with it." Breaking this barrier will defeat the opponent. "
"But the question is... how to do it?" Everyone in the meeting asked.
"Ji Yao tried to investigate. With the help of some underground pipes, it is possible to destroy it. These pipes have been abandoned and have not been used for hundreds of years." Wu Qiao pointed to a city map and said, "Here, first Landing in this place, this place is very remote. Only one mech goes through, probably undetected... then through this pipe, up here, down this pipe, up again... and finally through this long , you can reach a place very close to the main gun, you can directly attack the muzzle of the main gun, and then quickly fly across another road to escape back to our camp!"
After a pause, Wu Qiao said again: "This task can only be done by one person. If you want to land on the ground without being noticed, the goal is to be as small as possible; secondly, the pipe is very narrow and can only accommodate one mecha. If you go too much, you will implicate each other and drag down the speed."
"Then..." Several pairs of eyes were fixed on Wu Qiao, "Who will go?"
Wu Qiao did not answer directly. He pondered for a while, and then said: "The person who performs the task needs to have an extremely high level of mech operation. Otherwise, he will definitely not be able to destroy all the enemies that appear in the field of vision, and complete the long-distance movement without anyone noticing." .The capacity of the people who perform the task must be higher than the demand, so as to deal with various emergencies that may arise.”
Wu Qiao pointed to the blank space between the pipes: "The most suitable candidate is naturally Tan Yan... But Marshal Tan Yan can't leave the front line... So I kept thinking, maybe I have to go there myself."
"... what?!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the communication was shocked.
Wu Qiao repeated again: "I said, if I can, I will go there myself."
"Inappropriate." Wu Qiao immediately met with a lot of opposition, "If you have an accident, the problem will be serious! If you change someone else, even if you don't succeed, it won't be worse! Moreover, you have to sit in the center, and it is not suitable for you to leave! You While doing anything, there may be other things for you to deal with!"
"I don't want to..." Wu Qiao said, "but no one else has such a technology."
At this moment, Wu Qiao heard a crisp "I'm going".
He looked up and saw it was Layla's voice.
Leila is currently leading the armored light cavalry unit. Although there are not many of them, she needs to attend the combat meeting every time.
Every time she saw Leila, Wu Qiao felt that her hair was getting shorter and shorter. Although it is still good-looking, it is too unwilling to spend time on appearance.
"You..." Wu Qiao hesitated.
Leila's mech manipulation is very high level, second only to Tan Yan and herself, but in other words, Leila's ability is not as good as the two of them, so Wu Qiao hesitated.
Layla added, "I can do it, I hope you believe in me."
"..."
"Wu Qiao," Leila stared at Wu Qiao, "If you can do it, I can do it too."
Wu Qiao didn't speak.
Leila has always been like this. When she was in the military class before, she was always comparing herself with herself. Every time she lost, she would be unhappy, but occasionally she would be very excited when she won. Later, when she entered the army, Leila was still the same, never thinking that she was inferior to herself, and always felt in her heart that if she had an opportunity like hers, she would not be inferior.
Wu Qiao thought that Leila was from the planet "If you don't win or you die". On that planet, as long as you don't take the first place, you will feel as if you are dead. Leila is very good, she has never met an opponent in the past, and when she met unexpectedly, she has been competing with herself in secret.
Leila should have recognized herself very much, she has shown this recognition more than once, she should just be too strong.
Wu Qiao looked at Leila quietly.
Leila shook her head irritably, connected to her mecha, asked the mecha to tune out some videos of recent battles, and directly expanded the screen to play, so that Wu Qiao could see her performance clearly.
"..." Wu Qiao watched intently. I have to say that Leila has improved again. Although she is still not as good as herself, the gap has obviously narrowed again. I have been a little neglected in practice in the past two years, and my level has stagnated, so it was really caught up by Leila.
"How is it?" Layla raised her chin and asked a little arrogantly.
Wu Qiao thought about it carefully, and finally thought that although it was not as safe as his own, it was enough. He thought, since everyone is against him attacking, then... trust Leila who volunteered herself.
After it was confirmed, Wu Qiao left Leila to plan the whole operation in detail. Leila memorized all the points very carefully, kept them in her heart, and made perfect preparations in her opinion.
On the day of departure, Leila smiled and said to Wu Qiao: "Trust me, Wu Qiao, I will definitely be able to do it. Successfully destroy the 'Red Lotus Banquet', and I will live up to your commission."
"... Mmm." Wu Qiao kept persuading himself to relax, telling himself that there was nothing to worry about. No problem, he thought, Layla was good enough.
…
However, fate seems to be playing tricks on Leila.
Leila had just set off when Wu Qiao received a report that she had been captured. Speaking of it, she was also quite unlucky, and in the process of going to the designated place alone, she happened to meet a group of the latest mechs from the other party who were flying there. Those newest mechs were of a higher level, and by the time an enemy plane appeared on her radar, the other party had already spotted her first.
Normally, even if the Republic finds Layla, it will only send a few mechas to take a look first. There is only one person on the other side, and the scouts of the Republic will not go to war immediately. In this way, Leila, who has excellent abilities, has the opportunity to eliminate her opponent and move on.
Leila struggled hard, but she was outnumbered and was taken back to the military headquarters by the opponent.
A highly skilled mech pilot suddenly appeared in an inconspicuous place. This fact made the people of the Republic keenly aware of something. They questioned Leila rigorously, but Leila never uttered a word. She knew very well that she must not let the other party know about their plan to use the underground pipeline to destroy the "Red Lotus Banquet".
"You beautiful girl, you are really toasting and not eating fine wine..." The chief interrogator sighed, "Is it really worth it when you really use torture and ruin your face and body? You have become You look like a ghost, everyone hides from you, and you can only spend your whole life ugly alone. Don't you envy other women's sweet love and happy family?" He knew that these words were lethal to a beautiful girl How big is it.
Sure enough, the muscles on Leila's face trembled violently.
"Tut..." He said "tsk" and said to his subordinates, "Send him to be tortured."
After Leila was brought into the torture room, she saw the room full of hideous tools, and she was about to fall to the ground as soon as her legs gave way.
Some she knew, others she had never seen, and had no idea what they were being used for. She could only see the blood stains on it, and every drop seemed to be whining.
The two people next to her supported her vigorously, showing a very sarcastic look.
When Leila was more than ten meters away from the torture device, she refused to move, and sat down with her buttocks, completely being dragged forward by someone.
Her beautiful face was distorted, and she could no longer see her original appearance, replaced by ugly fear, with tears and snot hanging on her face.
When she got closer to the torture device, her pants were wet, and all the excrement came out.
The people next to them covered their mouths and noses, and the chief interrogator said contemptuously: "A woman is a woman, as courageous as the eye of an embroidery needle—handcuff her to the wall."
Hearing this, the person holding her began to forcefully press her against the wall, and Leila struggled even more violently.
At this time, a person opened the door and walked into the room. Seeing this scene, he sighed and said, "Don't be so anxious, let her take it easy."
"..." Layla gave him a grateful look.
The man said again: "We want information, but she is also human, and she is still a young girl, so don't be too inhuman."
The person who made the sound just now turned out to be the general commander who likes table tennis. Previously, he was stripped of his real power for making depressing remarks, but the title still exists. He didn't say his frustrating words publicly, but only told the president and others in private, so the crime was nothing but "lack of confidence", and he would not really be severely punished. In fact, the reason why he said that was simply because he didn't want to send young people to the battlefield. Now that the president says he will fight to the last moment, he wants to regain his power, use his wisdom to fight a good fight, and try his best to save as many young people as possible. For this reason, he valued Layla, who had been captured. He knew that Leila would not appear there for no reason, the coalition army must have sent her to carry out some secret plan, as long as she could speak, the army could make preparations in advance. After learning that torture would be used, he decided to go to see the interrogation himself. He believed he had a better way of getting Layla to talk, since he had nothing else to do. As long as he can make this great contribution, he should be able to regain real power.
The president of the Republic originally planned to reactivate him after he provided evidence of "rehabilitation". After all, no one else has his ability, and it is an extremely irrational behavior to abandon him.
After a while, the person holding Layla moved again, and Layla writhed violently again, crying even harder.
She said, "Please... please..."
"I'm asking for a fart?!" While talking, he didn't stop his hands.
Layla repeated mechanically: "Please... please..."
At the same time, she looked at the commander-in-chief of the Republic.
The commander-in-chief was silent for a while, and said: "I really don't want to be tortured... But sooner or later, I will have to." All along, she likes to confront opponents upright, and unilaterally abuses a weak person, which is not his style .
"Don't...don't..." Leila continued to stall for time.
The commander-in-chief sighed again: "Otherwise, you can just say it. You are afraid of becoming like this, and you will say it sooner or later... Why not sooner? And less suffering. Really, I have seen too many people being raped It's time for punishment, I'm 100% sure, you will compromise with me in the end. Just say it now, don't really suffer, you can't bear it. "
Layla visibly hesitated.
"That's right," the chief interrogator said again, "You are a little girl, just do what a girl should do, why do you insist on doing it?"
"..."
Seeing that Layla didn't speak, he pressed Layla against the wall again.
"Don't! Don't!" Leila's voice was full of pleading, "I said... I said... I said it's okay... don't hurt me..."
"Okay." The other party stopped moving, "Let's talk."
"..."
Seeing that Leila was silent again, the man immediately went to drag her again.
"Don't!" Leila really surrendered again.
However, when it was time to say it, she still didn't say it.
After going back and forth several times, the chief interrogator became impatient, and pointed at Leila and said, "If you don't open your mouth this time, I will really torture you!"
"..." Leila shrank back in shock from him. She looked back at the commander-in-chief again as if asking for help, and asked in a low voice like a mosquito: "I... that, that... I... can I talk to you?" Only he didn't look so vicious. .
"..." The commander-in-chief walked over, "OK."
He approached Layla. Leila looked at the other people with vicious expressions around her, her eyes full of fear. She was breathing rapidly, her chest heaving violently, as if the breath alone had exhausted her strength.
"You've scared her, so stay away first." The commander-in-chief said, "She's too frightened now, she can't think clearly."
"..." Those people backed away a little.
"Okay," the commander-in-chief asked, "now tell me, what is Wu Qiao going to do? You don't have to be afraid, you won't get hurt." His face is handsome, his voice is like a spring breeze, and his whole body seems to make people relax .
"..." Leila seemed to know that she couldn't escape. After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and finally decided to go all out, "They plan to..."
"Huh?" Layla's voice was too low, the commander-in-chief instinctively leaned a little closer to listen, and even tilted his head slightly.
At this moment, Leila suddenly exploded, and the weak and weak appearance just now disappeared! Like a ferocious beast, she stretched out her hand to hold the head of the commander-in-chief, and slammed it against the wall with all her strength!
The commander-in-chief tilted his head slightly just now, and his reaction was a bit slow. In just a second, a large pool of blood appeared on the wall!
All of the people present were stunned. They stood stupidly for a few seconds before drawing their guns and shooting Layla's limbs.
The blood bloomed like a flower, and instantly dyed the ground red.
Leila fell to the ground, only her head could move.
"Fuck you!" The chief interrogator stamped on Leila's head with his foot, "You lied to us!" He didn't kill Leila because it was still useful.
"..."
Layla was indeed trying to trick them. She pretended to be terribly frightened just for the last blow. She thought she could only bring down the chief interrogator, but the arrival of the commander-in-chief was really a surprise, so she pretended even harder.
Her hands and feet hurt, her head hurt, and she felt extremely painful, but at the same time, she was a little bit happy. She solved the most difficult enemy commander-in-chief that no one could think of a way to deal with. From this point of view, she is the strongest person since the Hundred Years' War.
In the past, she has always been a little reconciled. Before graduating from the military course, he and Wu Qiaoming were almost the same. Wu Qiao is first, she is second, the difference is not too big, sometimes she can overwhelm Wu Qiao. But later, Wu Qiao became more and more influential, and everyone knew that he was an important person. As for myself, in comparison, the gap is huge, as if it seems dispensable. She also couldn't tell how she felt, because in her heart, the two of them had almost the same abilities, and she hated people who were obviously similar, but the other party made great contributions to changing the situation repeatedly, while she was far away. The feeling of being left behind, inevitably reduced to a side dish.
And this time, she finally turned around.
- She killed the god of war.
In fact, she can't be sure that the other person is dead, but she knows her own strength, even if the person is not dead, she won't be able to wake up for a while. By the time he was able to fight again, Wu Qiao had already led his men to break through the capital.
At that time, I... should be admired by people all over the country.
She watched the commander-in-chief being carried out hastily.
— I really don't know what he was thinking at the end. Faced with this result, will he regret it? At the beginning, he joined the army only because his friend who played with him chose to join the army, and he followed suit. In fact, his favorite sport has always been sports. Does he feel like he's wasting his life on things he doesn't like most
His life has been full of ups and downs. He has the best abilities in the galaxy, there is no doubt about it. His ability also brought him the greatest glory, although, when he was losing ground in the later stage, when he was being abused by the sky, it also brought him the greatest shame. All his life, he failed to save the country that gave him the greatest glory and the greatest shame.
So, in his own opinion, is it worth it
…
— On the other side, Wu Qiao was in a trance for a moment when he knew that Leila had been captured.
Sometimes, he felt that the end of the war was very close to him, but at other times, he felt that it was still far away.
Leila was arrested in his stead.
Even if he encountered that kind of situation, it is hard to say whether he can escape unscathed.
He felt very uncomfortable, but after going through this kind of thing a few times, he had learned to hide his emotions in his heart. Only when facing Tan Yan, will he show his vulnerable side.
Wu Qiao calculated the abilities of the remaining people, held a conference call, and said to several generals: "Now... I can only go to the Republic."
Leila is captured, and the plan must continue.
He knew in his heart that a person as proud as Leila would not compromise with his opponent.
"..." This time, everyone knew his determination and did not raise any objections, only Tan Yan said "be careful in everything".
After the meeting, Wu Qiao and Ji Yao revised the pipeline to be used and decided to land at another location—of course he couldn't repeat the way Leila was arrested.
Twenty minutes after making his decision, Wu Qiao set off in the mecha.
"Leyla..." Ya Jiu said sullenly, "I hope she's okay."
"..."
"Because... because... she is a good person, and she is good-looking." Ya Jiu is a top-notch face control person, and she pays more attention to "good-looking" than people.
"… Ok."
Wu Qiao was much luckier than Leila, and was not spotted by the enemy even once before landing.
Sure enough, he thought: the coalition forces are attacking fiercely in many places, and the Republic has no time to take care of all corners of the planet. Investigators will always miss some unimportant locations.
What Wu Qiao didn't know was that the success was due to the fact that the Republic's army was in chaos because of the previous commander-in-chief. There were quite a few people present at the time, so what Leila did soon spread throughout the army. Without this reason, Wu Qiao might not be able to escape unscathed.
When drilling through the pipeline, Wu Qiao felt quite calm.
On the other hand, Yajiu was extremely nervous, and just wanted to fly faster, and quickly flew out of the pipe. The pipe is too dark and too narrow, in order not to be noticed, it can't talk to Wu Qiao. It thought of many plots in ghost movies, and the whole mecha was uncomfortable because of the depressing atmosphere. Crow Nine felt that if it needed to breathe, it would probably have suffocated.
At the junction of the pipeline, Wu Qiao ran into his opponent several times.
However, for these miscellaneous soldiers, Wu Qiao dealt with them the moment before they reported.
After going up to the ground for the last time, Wu Qiao finally saw the shiny muzzle of the "Red Lotus Banquet".
