When Xiao Ran got off the Black Heretic, a major and several officers appeared in front of the Black Heretic, saluted Xiao Ran and said: "General Xiao, please come with me, General Johnson is already waiting in front. "
Xiao Ran nodded lightly, looked into the distance, and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the base building. At this time, he saw Xiao Ran looking over and nodded to Xiao Ran.
The major turned around and led Xiao Ran over. On the way, Xiao Ran asked: "How is the preparation of the transport plane?"
The major replied quickly: "The transport plane has been prepared, but there is still half an hour before the last time for the main personnel of this operation to gather, and the departure time will be forty minutes later."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and put on a smiling face to greet the middle-aged man who came over, a general named Johnson, who was also the supreme commander of the base. Although Xiao Ran wore a mask on his face, it was only a half-mask, and the smile on his face could still be seen. Even at his age, he could probably see it from the parts that were not covered by the mask.
General Johnson had naturally read Xiao Ran's information and knew Xiao Ran's age. He came over with a smile and said, "Hello, General Xiao Ran. I didn't expect General Xiao Ran to be so young. He is really young and promising."
Xiao Ran didn't even think that the other party was mocking him when he said he was young. He just understood the other party's words with very kind thoughts, and then said: "You're welcome, General Johnson. Although I think I am very capable, but compared to you, There is still a long way to go before our seniors, and we need to learn many things from our seniors.”
General Johnson waved his hand and smiled: "Sooner or later, we old guys will retire. From now on, it will still be the rule of young people like you. Since the top military and political leaders have agreed to hand over the operations of Japanese military bases to you, I believe this is enough to prove your authority." Now that you’re capable, I’m afraid you might give us old guys some surprises in this mission.”
"Haha." Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm afraid that I will only be surprised but not happy. I don't know how to explain it when the time comes. I can only say that I tried my best to complete this action."
General Johnson patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder: "Don't be so unreasonable. You are just the vanguard. If it doesn't work, just wait for the main force to arrive and think of a solution. The most important thing is to ensure your own safety. What will happen to an outstanding young man like you?" The entire union cannot afford this problem."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded, turned to look at an MS that just appeared over the base, then turned to look at General Johnson, and asked: "General Johnson. When I came here, the President told me about this You can explain to me the specific arrangements for this operation. I want to know how many people are participating in the vanguard and the number of MS."
General Johnson nodded and waved to the adjutant beside him, who then took out the tablet and handed it to General Johnson.
General Johnson opened the tablet and pointed at what was on it to explain to Xiao Ran: "In this operation, you are mainly going to the Japanese Special Economic Zone as the vanguard, mainly to find out the specific situation and strength of the enemy, if the situation permits. You can choose to attack directly to take back the base."
"Due to time constraints and the relationship with the vanguard, the military can only mobilize elite pilots who are nearby and have no mission to participate this time, so the number of MS that can be dispatched is only fifty-three. All models are the most sharp ones of our army. flag, all will be taken to Japan on large transport planes."
"There are less than thirty people gathered at this base, and the others will meet you on the road."
"In addition, the follow-up troops will also set off after the preparations are completed. We may not send too many troops this time. After all, the other party only has so many people. If you can successfully complete the mission, the follow-up troops will not set off. "
"I understand." Xiao Ran nodded while listening. General Johnson continued: "At present, in addition to the captured base in the Japanese Special Economic Zone, almost all the troops have been dispatched to the other three bases in the Japanese Special Economic Zone. They will arrive in about three hours to complete the encirclement work and be able to participate in the battle. The total number exceeds three hundred, and they will be fully under your command when the time comes and they will participate in your actions."
"But most of those pilots are just ordinary pilots. Even if we can win by force, the losses will be very heavy. The military and political leaders don't want to see such a situation, so the main force is still those of you who rush over from the mainland." General Johnson After saying this, he glanced at Xiao Ran: "I have also read that battle record. I am not one of those people who just sit in the office and give blind orders. I know very well that the performance of those machines is better than that of our army in every aspect." MS performance is much higher, it is unwise for you to take this task."
"Based on the performance and actions of those aircraft, unless a large force is used to suppress fire, it may be difficult to cause any damage to those MS, but in that case, our base will be destroyed."
"Thank you, General Johnson, for your concern." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, and developed a good impression of this senior who kept reminding him, and then said: "I have some rough ideas about the performance of those machines, but my aircraft The machine performance is not weaker than those machines."
"Is this the new machine mentioned in the report, which was independently developed by your family?" General Johnson looked at Xiao Ran's machine and nodded, saying, "It is very different from the machines in the world today. , seems to be somewhat similar to those organisms."
Xiao Ran nodded and looked at the Black Heretic: "This machine was made based on the information I obtained by accident. I suspect that the position MS should also have similar origins. Although the styles look similar, But there is still a big difference, and it is likely that different types of testing machines were manufactured.”
"It's not impossible." General Johnson nodded in agreement and turned to look at Xiao Ran: "Then does this machine have a name?"
"heresy."
"Heretic, it's different from the regular MS." General Johnson immediately revealed the meaning of the name and said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to your performance in driving such an aircraft on the battlefield. If this aircraft can If it works well on the battlefield, I think you and the family behind you might get a big military order."
Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "I believe it too."
General Johnson left after talking to Xiao Ran for a few more words. As the main gathering point and coordination point, his base had quite a lot going on, so naturally he couldn't brag with Xiao Ran all the time.
After General Johnson left, the assembled pilots headed by Graham Aika, a total of about seventeen or eight people, were also brought to the front of Xiao Ran.
Among this group of pilots, the only one Xiao Ran was familiar with was Graham. However, he also saw two people who had an impression. They were the same people who were included in the special investigation team against Gundam in the original plot like Graham. Pilots, although Xiao Ran had the impression that a total of three people besides Graham were recruited at that time, but Xiao Ran only had an impression of Graham and these two people. Of course, he couldn't remember the names at all.
In addition to these pilots, Xiao Ran also saw a person who should not be here. He was obviously a man but had long hair and was named Billy. He liked the person Miss Huang had been pursuing for a long time but to no avail.
The pilots lined up neatly, with Graham and Billy standing in the front row. Xiao Ran glanced at everyone and said directly: "State your names, ranks, and original departments in order. "
Graham stepped forward and saluted Xiao Ran: "Lieutenant Graham Aika, formerly a pilot in the msad unit, has been assigned to the general's command and currently has no specific position."
After Graham finished speaking, he took a step back, and Billy stepped forward again and gave a military salute: "Billy Katagiri, the former technical advisor of the msad unit, will join the general's command in the future, and this time he will be responsible for the unknown ms." Carry out data recording and analysis, other than that, there are no other specific duties.”
Xiao Ran's eyes under the mask narrowed as he listened to what the two said, but overall he was still very satisfied: "I didn't expect that these two people would be transferred directly to me. What an unexpected surprise."
The people behind him mentioned their names and positions one by one. The one with the highest military rank was Graham. Most of the people present were directly assigned to Xiao Ran, except for a few who were just seconded. , and among the people assigned to Xiao Ran, in addition to Graham and Billy, two people whom Xiao Ran had an impression of were also assigned to him.
One is named Howard Mason, Warrant Officer, and the other is named Daryl Dodge, Staff Sergeant. In Xiao Ran's memory, these two people have very good technical skills. They have the potential to become union aces. They were also the people who joined the Gundam investigation team in the original plot. However, Xiao Ran really has no impression of the last person. .
No impression means mediocrity, and Xiao Ran doesn't care too much.
When the final gathering time came, all the pilots who had come to gather here also arrived. Xiao Ran glanced at the pilots standing in a neat line, nodded slightly, and then said: "Specially promoted Graham. Lieutenant Aika was temporarily promoted to major and was responsible for the MS command of this operation, and technical advisor Billy Katagiri was promoted from second lieutenant to captain."
"Howard Mason was promoted to lieutenant, and Daryl Dodge was promoted to second lieutenant." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then continued: "I have known these four people before and know their abilities. I am familiar with the other people. You don’t know enough yet, so don’t make other arrangements for the time being. After this operation, if you are willing to stay under my command, I will make arrangements for you. If you are willing to stay, then you will be rewarded based on your merits.” (…)
