Chapter VII Reaching the Age of Twenty

(Happy New Year, everyone, I'm back.) Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info)

Zhou Wu always thinks that Fengyu is too simple, on the one hand, because of his nature, and on the other hand, because of his age. As the long voyage of the Mobile Force came to an end, the time came to June SC0101.

Today is June 13th, Fengyu's 20th birthday. The black-gray mask concealed this overly youthful face, making the pilots of the Mobile Army only look up to him, seeing him as an idol and a goal to strive for.

But no one noticed that today was his birthday, and if it weren't for the fact that the battlefield recorder came with a birthday wish, I'm afraid he wouldn't even remember it. He trained as usual, familiarized himself with his Mobile Suit WS, and returned to the cabin to spend some time after training.

The mind is full of confusion, the intimidation of the NO organization, the worry about the betrayers in the mobile army who don't know what position they are in, and the speculation about whether Li Xingyan has entered the marriage hall at this moment, all kinds of negative emotions can almost drive people crazy.

Only when Lin Qianqian took a break from work, the lingering resistance of the two could make him forget these troubles for a while.

But today he had some extra troubles. I remember every birthday before the age of 16, in the calm Landanum L4 space town, my mother would fry or boil an egg for him according to the traditional customs of the Orientals, and celebrate another year in this unpretentious way. Then Marshmallow would bounce up to him and say Happy Birthday!

But today, in this cold rest cabin, there are no eggs, no birthday wishes, no mother, no Luo Yunxi. He could only bury his 20th birthday in his heart along with those painful memories.

Later, Lin Qianqian came back as usual, and the two went to the restaurant to have a casual meal, and then returned to Fengyu's cabin to do their daily "homework". But the female lieutenant soon realized that something was wrong, Feng Yu couldn't raise her sexual interest at all, and no matter what kind of tricks she came up with, she looked half-dead.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qianqian asked as she struggled.

Feng Yu replied, "It's okay, maybe I'm a little unenergetic today." "But there is an unspeakable disappointment in her heart," she didn't know. ”

He hopes that someone will say happy birthday to him in person, but he is reluctant to take the initiative to tell others that today is his 20th birthday, and he feels that there is no happiness in this kind of care and blessings that he relies on himself to ask for.

So when there was obviously a beautiful woman by his side, Fengyu spent his 20th birthday lonely.

However, what he didn't know was that on a transport ship dozens of light years away, Luo Yunxi quietly took out a small packet of birthday candles from his locker and lit it in his rest cabin, "Brother Xiaofeng, you're twenty years old, happy birthday!" ”

Then the next moment, the smoke alarm in the rest pod sounded, and the automatic sprinkler device reached out of her head, drenching her into a soup chicken.

And that's not all, the smoke alarms are connected to the main control system of the bridge, and the ship is almost in chaos when they hear the news of the fire in the rest compartment. In the end, it was found that the second lieutenant Luo Yunxi used open flames in violation of discipline and gave her a suspension.

What is Happiness? Happiness is to have someone who loves you all the time remembering you and blessing you in your heart all the time in a distant place you don't know. The people around you may not be the ones who love you, and the people who love you may not be by your side all the time, maybe you don't know that you are happy, but the people who love you will always want you to be happy.

Putting aside the question of happiness or not, Fengyu's military career has passed four years unconsciously. If he hadn't passed the pilot selection in the first place, or had not been promoted to the rank of senior non-commissioned officer and the highest-ranking Iron Ball Commander like Norris, then it would be time for him to retire.

It is not an easy task to survive to retire as an iron ball pilot, remember that Feng Yu's first formation after becoming a soldier was in the Iron Ball 1533 squad of the expeditionary force. From the squad leader Luo Yi down, none of the former comrades-in-arms are still alive, so how can they talk about retirement.

The determination of the soldiers of New Asia to die bravely is admirable, but now it has become an opportunity for NO. NO has repeatedly provoked incidents, aroused public anger and hatred against the UAC, and thus kidnapped more people to pursue their interests. Some people took a fancy to the powerful position promised to them, some people were purely coerced like Feng Yu, and many more were caught up in this whirlpool without knowing it, such as the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Mobile Army.

The day after Fengyu's birthday, the Mobile Force arrived at the E2 star field.

It's a very ordinary stellar field, and even mining planets with mining value are indebted. In this cosmic era, except for a small number of rare minerals with strategic value, most of the minerals can be found everywhere. As a result, many star fields have been abandoned for development, such as the current E2.

But this does not mean that these star fields are completely worthless, or not suitable for human immigration, just because there are too many such star fields, and humans do not want to disperse their limited forces to exploit them. If you really want to build a few civilian or semi-military space cities here, you can collect enough resources from the local planets alone. And a few scarce strategic resources are not too much of a problem for the pirate fleet that lives by plundering, and no matter how bad it is, it can still be purchased from the black market.

On the other hand, there is no geographical shipping route between the starry domains of the universe, except for a very few black hole regions or supernova explosion regions that must be circumnavigated. The reason why there is a shipping channel is mainly to connect the main star fields developed by humans nearby. In this way, the stellar fields that are not on the nearest route become forgotten corners.

As a result, such a stellar field has become the most suitable hiding place for pirate fleets, and E2 is such an ordinary star field in the blind spot of New Asia. It was only after several years of development and operation of the pirate fleet that the New Asia military finally learned of their existence, and it is debatable whether the source of this information came from an ulterior motive.

If it is according to Zhou Wu's analysis, this incident is likely to be a military operation planned by NO.

Why do you say that you can kill multiple birds with one stone?

First of all, the expanded mobile army needs to carry out further running-in through actual combat, and if this running-in is put into the frontal battlefield with the UAC, then the losses will be too great, and it is unacceptable for the NO who already regards the mobile army as a bag. On the contrary, it is only fitting to train the remnants of the former New African Kingdom, the degenerate pirate fleet.

Moreover, there is no room for words within the Mobile Army, and there are opponents or uninformed people like Feng Yu. It is relatively easy to pull the fleet into this remote E2 star field to make small moves, just in time to clear the opposition with the help of pirates.

の good calculation.

There is no doubt that for NO, one of the biggest obstacles within the Mobile Army is the banner of the pilots, the trump card of the Mobile Army - Colonel "Storm" Fengyu.

I am sure that in E2's pirate fleet, there is someone who has the strength to make Fengyu sink in the sand - pirate ace!
