"Mike, how do you feel?" I asked the co-pilot next to him. He was a newcomer. It was only a few days after I let him board the spacecraft, he cooperated with my flight very well. He is a guy who loves to laugh. When he laughs, there are some looming wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. This is often called everyone's joke, because everyone thinks that a man with crow's feet at the age of 20 must be a woman in his predecessor.
"I'm fine. Mr. Iva." He smiled. Then I saw the crow's feet at the corner of his eyes. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Is this the first to participate in the battle?" I asked.
"Yes, I haven't participated in similar battles before. You know that the work I did before has nothing to do with this."
"Why join the army? This is a very dangerous profession, especially when foreign enemies are invading." I asked the young soldier beside me.
"Why? Maybe it's because my dad is also a soldier! He was serving the Alliance and died in a flight. But he did a great thing. He successfully forced Sinan's spacecraft. Stopped and captured a Sinan man, but the hateful Sinan man killed him when he wasn't paying attention. The Sinan man was finally killed by his father's comrades." McQueen said.
"I'm sorry to remind you of the sad past. Your father is great, and the league will remember him." I said with excitement. I didn't expect that he came to serve as a soldier for his dead father.
"It doesn't matter, I can face it calmly now. I will be the most outstanding pilot so that Sinan can't get past the thunder pool." Mike said in a deep tone. I understand the meaning of this, Mike is determined to fulfill his wish, and this wish will have thousands of allies; he will not fight alone for this, many passionate hearts will walk with him.
"Mr. Iva, the enemy spacecraft is approaching me." Mike reminded.
Sure enough, the Sinan people came, they thought we would leave and return to Black Mercury after the first team we attacked them succeeded. However, although they came, they showed their feet even though they were very alert. I used a whisper to remind my team members to be ready to fire at any time, as long as Sinan's spacecraft is exposed to the firepower, they will attack, and must destroy the enemy's warship with lightning speed.
We did not spend much effort to destroy all Sinan's warships, and the cheers of victory came. Just as we were about to return home, a huge crack appeared on the ice surface of Antarctica, or it could be said that the surface below us is not ice, but some kind of high-tech synthetic material. Its surface is made into ice to hide some of it. thing.
A few people walked out of the underground, and they knew they were scientists by looking at them. The leading scientist walked under my spacecraft and said, "Is the commander of the special pilot Mr. Iva up there?"
"Yes, sir, what does the league do under the ice? You won't escape the heat here, do you?" I said in a witty tone.
"I've heard that Mr. Iwa is funny, I saw it today, and it is true. We are doing a research here, but the Alliance reminded us last night to beware of Sinan people, because they will land here and spy on the military situation of the Alliance. The alliance also said you will Leading the troops to destroy the Sinan people, I didn't expect you to come personally." The scientist seemed to welcome me very much.
I left the Union Antarctic region and returned to the training base with my pilots. Nicholas and the other team members have not yet returned to rest. They have prepared plenty of food for the pilots who have returned triumphantly. I also need food. I am very happy to share these delicacies with them. This usually humble chicken is now making me gobble up and feast on it. My empty belly quickly filled with food, and I smiled happily and smiled at the clear sky. It was still stormy last night, and now the sky has cleared and the fog has cleared. Occasionally, you can see branches and green leaves that were blown by the wind, but this does not affect everyone's mood. Everyone happily returns to daily training. "A storm cannot dampen our enthusiasm." I heard a pilot optimistic and honest.
"Yes, no matter how big the storm is, we are not afraid of it. We have the power to conquer everything." I felt deeply in my heart. The bird passes over our heads, flapping its wings and flies into the distance. We have no way of knowing where it will go or where it will come from; but we know it will fly to a freer place where there are its companions; It will find its belonging there and find the source of happiness; maybe there will be a bird willing to accompany it to live with him and build a happy nest together, in which there are several young birds that are as beautiful as them. I will not imagine the next things, where doing that will always end.
The white cloud walked gently, leaving only a faint shadow on the ground. When it left, the shadow disappeared. It likes to wander, maybe it has never stopped. I watched that strange cloud pass by me silently. I lay in the spaceship and admired the floating clouds. They are free and unconstrained. No rules can bind them. They are only the next one. The goal advances, and where is the next goal? They may not like to explore, but they continue. The sky is theirs, they will always occupy this vast and boundless space. They are just a cloud of water vapor. The wind follows the wind, condenses into rain, and falls on the ground to form streams, enter rivers, and return to the sea.
I haven't looked at these things for a long time, maybe it was a reverie of life when I was young. Now despite experiencing so many things, I still can’t know the innate meaning of life. I just came to this world to see the landscape of this world? Or as the lauded Huaxia said: "The meaning of life is to make a positive contribution to the world?" And the world has now become the universe. When the universe breeds life, does it think about what kind of instincts should be given to life? "Good" or "evil"
Good people are often forced to protect themselves and therefore use violence. The evil people often use the good people to climb on top of the good people to spread their teeth and claws, and the good people continue to praise the other's actions. It seems that the good people should bear the guilt, while the evil ones hide quietly in places where no one can find them and snicker.
I thought about these strange questions indiscriminately, and my spacecraft stopped in mid-air. Nicholas flew towards me, maybe it was my successive sighs that attracted him.
"Mr. Iva, you seem to be reluctant to laugh. It seems that you don't want to laugh, but you laugh again. Why is this?" Nicholas couldn't understand my laugh at the sky alone, and he asked with concern.
"Nothing, go back and do your thing! We still have a lot of things to deal with and I am here alone laughing at the sky, really shouldn't be!" I blamed myself. My thinking obviously cannot give me satisfactory results, so why bother with it! It is better to do your job well, these problems are left to those pretentious philosophers to deal with!
Nicholas’s flying skills are not what it used to be. He demonstrates his most proud flying skills for the rest. For some things, he is the same as me without reservation. The pilots only need to ask or teach. We did not hide it. Try to help them progress. We coaches are happier to see them improve.
The students of the whole division have made great progress after several actual combat exercises. "They can get rid of combat," Nicholas said.
"Yes, they can fight Sinan at the current level. It's just—" I paused.
"Just what?" Nicholas asked.
"It's just that there is still a lack of fighters. According to the deployment of the alliance, it is now in the defensive stage, and cannot actively attack Sinan's fleet." I smiled. I wanted to say, "It's just that our spacecraft is not worthy of these excellent pilots. They will suffer a loss when they use this spacecraft to fight against Sinan." But I don't want to discourage his enthusiasm. If the scientist's words are true, it will soon changed.
"I really hope to come back to a battle like the last time. Recently, I feel a lot of nerve relaxation. It feels like I have lost my support point and are about to collapse." Nicholas said. I have also noticed the emotion in his words a long time ago, and the enthusiasm of the troops is declining. You have to give them something irritating.
"Nicholas, what do you think we lack here? What kind of thing can the soldiers return to the passion when they started." I asked him for his opinion. I hope this guy can give me some good ideas. It is impossible for troops without passion to produce high-level combat effectiveness. They will obey orders, but they will not be effective. "Such a problem will become sick for a long time." I said inwardly.
"Of course there is, that is to go to war with the Sinan people, take the initiative to fight, and in order to boost morale." Nicholas said excitedly. "Victory is the most exciting. Does Mr. Iva remember the impact of the last victory on the league? It was so bloody and heart-pounding."
Victory is not easy. The victory of the Snar battle has a lot to do with the Sinan people's underestimation of the enemy. Will they still wait for you to slaughter them after being frustrated? They never make the same low-level mistakes again. A rash attack will only make the same mistakes as the Sinan people, and no one can afford the loss at that time. Of course I have thought about the consequences of launching an active attack. The probability of success is pitiful. At present, the strength of the alliance can only be defensive and the offense requires precise deployment and complete cooperation with the brother forces. No one can do this without the marshal's order, otherwise it will be a betrayal of the alliance, even if it succeeds.
"Haha! Nicholas seems that you are too enthusiastic about war. You should be sober and balance the pros and cons!" I laughed: "Could you think of something else, war will only bring about sacrifice and destruction, you and I are right This is no stranger. I don’t want to use my brothers to win my reputation. The victory I want is a big victory, a complete victory; instead of sacrificing the lives of my brothers to win, the victory or defeat of the war also depends on what both sides use. Strategic, unguided battles will become messy, especially group operations.” I explained patiently to Nicholas.
"Is that what allowed us to study those military theories?" Nicholas looked into my eyes.
"Yes, but only part of the purpose. I also want my brothers to use their brains to think about the true meaning of war. I hate war very much. When I joined the army at the beginning, it was only a temporary breath. At that time, I did not expect that the Alliance would start a war with Sinan at this time. , Or at that time I never thought that Sinan would attack Tenay and go to war with the Alliance."
"I like freedom, and the alliance is also a free planet. If the alliance is captured, then the entire planet will lose freedom. My freedom is linked to the alliance."
"Then what is the real meaning of the war you are talking about?" Nicholas seemed to be about to break the casserole and asked to the end, there seemed to be an incredible look in his eyes.
"To stop violence with violence, you must oppose violence if you want to be free, and the power to stop violence is itself." I must explain to him clearly, otherwise he will be disappointed with me. "Violence is born for profit. Since violence can satisfy the enemy's possessive desires, of course it can also make us free. Don't you want to be free all the time? Does the restoration of Tenayi? Violence can help you solve the Sinan people, but it can also To solve you, should you consider using violent means? The Art of War of Sun Tzu adds an artistic touch to violence, making it seem weak and hopeful of defeating powerful enemies."
"Now the Alliance is not idle. As far as I know, the Alliance is collecting information from Sinan people. Don't you often say,'opportunities are waiting for those who are prepared'? But you look listless and lack the brave style you had before." Nicholas I didn't speak, I only had to lead the butterfly, maybe I said too much! Make it difficult for him to accept.
"Mr. Iva, I always think about recovering Tenay, where is my planet, my homeland." Nicholas was suddenly very powerful.
"Yes, Tenay is your hometown, where your life grows and ends there. The sky in Tenay will become as blue and gentle as when you came, and the forest fires there It will stop, and these hopes are on you." I encourage this Tenai warrior. He is the deputy commander of the special division. He enjoys a high reputation in the division and among the Tenais. The Tenais Always pay attention to the movement of the war, but the recent quiet wind may make them a little uncomfortable.
"If the Sinan people negotiate with the Alliance, will the Alliance sacrifice Tenay as a price?" Nicholas asked at last.
"Never, the Alliance will never do such a perfidious thing." I said in full righteousness. Nicholas gave me a military salute and left, but he has not answered the question I asked him, or he needs to reconsider.
I increased the training requirements. When I announced the order, the troops had no objections, and the rest time became even more pitiful for them. And this is the best for them to pass the boring time. The fatigue caused by the hard training is enough to quickly enter their sleep, and then they are awakened by the ringing of emergency action in their sleep. They become more savvy, have sharper vision, and react more responsively. Good habits are injected into their nerves, always reminding them of the existence of danger and calling them to be alert to all emergencies.
Countless actual combat exercises have made these youthful young people more stable and calmly traverse numerous flying obstacles, but their instructors will always remind them to never bite and satisfy their existing achievements, because this is not a real battlefield. In the real battlefield, you can only laugh at the end, and before you must maintain the highest vigilance to deal with every move of the enemy.
The sky of Black Mercury hasn't rained for a long time, only since that storm, it has become dry and mosquitoes have come to join in the fun, but they cannot approach the training base if they are smart enough. The base has prepared special machines for trapping them. Simple-minded insects would never think that the light that attracts them can actually make them lose their reproductive function, change their genes, and make them unable to reproduce offspring.
