The first rule of survival in the world of martial arts: Survival is more important than anything else!
As long as it doesn't matter what is right or wrong, it is not a shame to give in once in a while when facing a strong enemy that you know you are outmatched.
Those who are good at fighting can be generals if they are brave and powerful, and those who are good at planning can be soldiers if they are intelligent. People who are capable will inevitably have some pride that would rather die than surrender. It is said that a general would rather die in front of the battle line, and that a soldier would die for his confidant. It is often said that the only solution to hardships is death. Civil servants and military generals can sacrifice their lives for their ambition, integrity, and righteousness. It can be said that their high integrity will last forever.
However, since ancient times, who has never died
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty had the humiliation of white climbing, and Taizu Mao traveled 25,000 miles under the name of a bandit. In the end, they both became unique figures. When future generations mention that period of humiliation, they will only praise: the real great lords and heroes are both wise and courageous, capable of bending and stretching. Otherwise, he would be at best a shameless King Xiang who crossed the river to meet his elders east of the Yangtze River.
In the past few days, Li Mubai was still struggling with his behavior of enduring humiliation and surviving in vain, worrying whether doing so would harm his mother in Baiyun City. It has been several days since he followed Lao Li to Dongdu, but he still can't get over the shadow of failure. And Lao Li has been instilling in him this decadent and despicable idea that the winner is a prince and the loser is a thief.
It's easy to be a hero who fights to the death in an upright manner. You just have to risk your life to do something that others can't do, and you just have to die. Depending on your Force cultivation and mecha operation level, you can quickly achieve what you want. If you do this, there is no doubt that you are a brave man in terms of physical strength and blood. But on a psychological level, you are actually a coward. Compared with a truly strong person, you can only accept victory and don't even have the courage to overcome defeat and reverse the situation.
Do you know how to write the Chinese character coward? From top to bottom, psychological weakness is called cowardice.
The blood of a young man is always hot. Li Mubai was at the age when he was in full bloom, so how could he withstand the stimulation of Lao Li, who could imitate Zhuge and scold Wang Lang to death.
After three days of silence, he finally spoke on this day: "Didn't you come back to the East to find the moon mirror and the beauty?"
"That's a difficult problem your mother has posed for me. I may not necessarily be able to answer it." Old Li said, "Someone will do the job of finding the treasure for me, but I can only do it myself to deal with your kid."
"Old Li, do you dare to tell me how you reached your current state?" Li Mubai's eyes suddenly became fierce and firm, staring at Old Li.
"It's useless to tell you." Lao Li said: "Everyone has his or her own circumstances. The improvement of the realm of The Force Awakening is closely related to talent. Your talent is very good. What you lack is some experience and life-and-death battle tests to stimulate your mind. Potential.”
"Do you dare to give me such time and opportunity?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I brought you to Dongdu?"
"You want me to join the Confederate Army?"
"I want you to fight like a Chinese hero!" Old Li said: "This is what Bai Wuxia wants you to do."
Dongdu, as the base camp city of the first line of defense in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean of Eurasia, is a super metropolis with a population of 50 million comparable to the imperial capital. This city has become the last bastion for the He people to resist the invasion of Guixu and prevent the disaster of genocide. In order to ensure that the city is foolproof, there are 108 expensive fusion high-energy cannons around Dongdu. The City Police Department has just upgraded to the latest artificial intelligence patrol system, and the General Administration of Special Operations has also established its frontline headquarters here.
Li Mubai chose to join the General Administration of Special Operations. He did not go through the back door and got in based on his ability.
Lei Yiming, the chief engineer of the Allied Nanotechnology Center, has recently invented a medium-sized individual mecha. Although it is more than twenty times smaller, its power is not inferior to the heavy mecha developed by the General Administration of Engineering, and even some of its performance Still on top of it.
This new type of mecha uses an artificial intelligence system and new nanomaterials. It can be stowed away when not in use, and its size is only equivalent to a women's backpack. In addition to excellent defense and combat performance, it also has extremely strong stealth and portability functions.
In principle, when new things are manufactured, it takes several years to complete all aspects of performance testing, but now is an extraordinary period, and we can no longer care about those details. As soon as things come out, they are sent to the front line, and they can only be tested in actual combat.
Li Mubai was admitted to the General Administration of Special Operations based on his excellent performance in simulated mecha operation.
The new mecha is powerful and has excellent maneuverability. The only problem is that its performance is very unstable. Because of the huge difficulty of operation, even some mecha soldiers with actual combat experience who were temporarily transferred back from the front line have difficulty controlling it. But now, what the Alliance lacks most on the front lines is excellent mecha warriors.
Super chips can indeed produce a large number of Force Awakeners, but compared to those who truly rely on their own spiritual will to awaken the Force, the acuity of spiritual perception of such mass-produced Awakeners is much inferior. Controlling mechas is A task that seems to be a big deal, but is actually very detail-oriented and micro-managed. Especially in actual combat, a detail error often determines the outcome of life or death.
From the outbreak of the Guixu Giant Monster Invasion War to now, 270 mechas costing 8 billion Chinese coins have been damaged. Actual combat has proven that those warriors who awaken the Force with the help of super chips are often more likely to die in battle, or even have their mechas destroyed and scrapped by their opponents due to operational errors.
It is precisely because excellent mecha warriors are so rare that Long Gongming firmly opposes recruiting top mecha warriors from the front line of combat to participate in the test of new medium-sized mechas. Bai Qi had no choice but to recruit new mecha warriors from the entire alliance.
Li Mubai was recruited under such circumstances.
At the same time, due to Bai Qi's arguments, Shen Qingmei, who had only been in the mecha first-line brigade for two months, was transferred back to the General Administration of Special Operations as the most outstanding mecha combat squad leader to serve as the leader of the new mecha test squadron. Squadron leader and chief instructor.
Previously, Bai Qi received the guidance of Lao Li and led a large army to the South Asian subcontinent, destroying the summoning altar of the Tiansha cult with a thunderous force. After that, there was news that this cult organization had come to Dongdu. The recent incidents of strangers causing trouble and harming people in Dongdu City also prove the accuracy of this news.
The tasks of the General Directorate of Special Operations are heavy and there are many opportunities for actual combat.
A baby begins to grow into a child by being weaned, and a boy begins to grow into a man from being a woman and bearing hardships alone.
Genius or mediocrity always needs to be put into the furnace and can only be known after countless forgings.
Early in the morning, Qingmei City, the sun comes out of the mountains.
Lao Li was sitting on the mountain watching the sun when Shen Qingmei, dressed in a major's military uniform, walked up the stairs carrying a mecha bag.
"Oh, Lao Li, you are really good at tormenting people. If you have something to say that you can't say in the city, you have to come here to say it." Shen Qingmei took out two bottles of wine from the mecha bag behind her and handed one over. Said: "Here, the alcoholic nutrient solution specially provided by our mecha brigade, a good thing prepared by our Xuanmen Laboratory, may not be much worse than your medicinal wine." He also said: "You keep the story short, I have to go back to the city for a meeting later." Woolen cloth."
"Little girl, you get promoted pretty quickly." Lao Li looked at her new military uniform and said with a smile: "Such a young school officer can only be found in the war years."
"There's no way, the elimination rate is too high. I was still a rookie recruit when I reported for duty on the first day, and two weeks later I became one of the five oldest soldiers in our squadron." Shen Qing brow said: "The one from Guixu The attacks are getting more and more crazy. Now it is rare to encounter giant monster soldiers. Almost all of them are giant monster generals. Every battle is extremely fierce. Veterans are wounded and killed every day. Let me see, if the management committee still If we refuse to send high-level human elites to join in, the first line of defense will fall as soon as the end of the year."
"That's not true." Old Li smiled.
"That is unless you go to the front line in person." Shen Qingmei then sighed and said: "Of course this is impossible. Your wife and children were left there as hostages. People have been guarding against you for a long time. Guixu invaded, human beings Even if it is not destroyed, there will be no good fruits to eat, but you are definitely not among them."
"Little girl, after two months of fighting on the front line, you have learned to ridicule your master." Old Li said: "Are we, Old Li, the kind of people there who don't distinguish between the importance of female lovers? I have my own reasons for not joining the war. , in order to shut up your sarcastic little mouth, this time I went to Baiyun City to bring back a person. Now this person has joined the mecha squadron of the Special Operations Directorate. From now on, he will stay on the front line with Guixu on my behalf. The gods and monsters fought bloody battles.”
"On behalf of you?" Shen Qing bit her lip and muttered, "Teacher, are you talking about the guy named Li Mubai?"
Lao Li nodded.
"Why should he?" Shen Qing raised an eyebrow as if he had stepped on a switch, "I finally found the root cause. It turns out that brat came in through your back door."
"What? Did he perform poorly?" Lao Li asked.
"It's more than just bad!" Shen Qing frowned: "This kid is not very capable, but he has a bad temper. In just a few days, he has already made many disobedient actions against management. And let me tell you, his team He has a very poor sense of consciousness, and he especially likes to show off as a hero and stand out. If Bai hadn't been holding on to him and refusing to move, I would have kicked him to death."
"No, you can kick him, but don't kick him to death." Lao Li said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Shen Qingmei stared at Old Li in confusion, then realized something and guessed: "Old Li, could this kid be your biological son?"
"You really guessed it right." Lao Li admitted frankly and said: "But I didn't come to you to let you go easy on him. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I came to ask you to give him more hardships. Although he doesn't obey orders, he never dares to leave the General Operations Directorate. In other words, it doesn't matter how you punish him, and I believe you should also be able to notice that he is extremely talented in mecha control... ..."
"Lack of team awareness, the higher the talent, the greater the damage!" Shen Qingmei said: "Old Li, I understand what you mean, don't worry, with your words, I will definitely 'take good care' of him."
"Hehe, just go ahead and do it, no need to save face for me." Old Li said with a smile: "This kid has a very good foundation, he can handle it!"
"You should know best where the front line is." Shen Qingmei said solemnly: "Master, even if he is your son, he will not enjoy any special protection. If any danger occurs, I can only say that I will try my best, but His absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.”
"You are a girl. I regard you as my daughter. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be worthy of our Lao Li." Lao Li said: "As for that kid, life or death depends on fate. Which path is his?" What he chooses, no matter what happens, is his own destiny." After a pause, he stood up and looked at the coastline, and said: "Little girl, go all out to improve your strength now, the truly cruel era is about to begin. coming soon."
"Master, you seem to be leaving here?" (End of Chapter)
