"Uh...... Are you really an adult? ”

With my superior reflexes and strong combat experience, I narrowly dodged the kicks from my opponent and blocked the pink punch that was heading straight for the bridge of my nose under the warning of my brain perception. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I have to say that this little person in front of her, her fighting ability has surpassed the normal level.

"Humph! Forget it, the first meeting will beat you all over the ground and find your teeth, which is not conducive to future work. ”

Saying the same old words fiercely, her smaller body was picked up from behind.

"Captain, don't leave the ship without permission if you don't have anything special, many things can't go on without your authorization."

Looking at the giant man who put the woman on his shoulder while saying a few words, my first thought was, such a big man, are you really sure that the seats on the starship can accommodate it?

"You must be thinking about how to find a seat for someone as big as me."

The big man stared at me with an unabashedly scrutinizing gaze.

I avoided his gaze. I thought to myself, even if Wei Leili saw through it, how could such a reckless man seem to be able to see through my mind, could he be a more shrewd guy than he looks?

"You're mentally calling me a rough man, aren't you?"

was said to be thinking by the big man again, and his face turned red. I know that if I don't admit it, there will be no problem, but I still feel like I've done something bad.

"Bring me down, you rude fellow. What's wrong with scolding you for being a rough man, would a normal person put a beautiful woman like me on his shoulders as soon as he came up? It's not happy to say that you're rough, but I'm the captain, can you, a little tactical staff officer, hug me around? Put me down, you rude thing. ”

Ignoring the woman's kicks, her powerful fists and whip legs really seemed to the strong man to be like a symbolic attack of a young girl, and they were not taken to heart by the big man.

"Hello, I'm the tactical staff officer on the reconnaissance cruiser Youth, Harding. When we meet for the first time, you must be the commander of the Marine Forces assigned to our ship, fortunately. ”

After a few words, the impression of the big man was changed from a conspiracy person who was diametrically opposed to his heart on the outside, to a starship staff officer who was frank and hearty, with a similar personality and body size. The rapid changes and dazzling things that made me, who had just come into contact with him, very confused for a while.

“......”

"Uh, Mr. Zhao Ping can't be a bad brain, right?" The big man rolled his strange eyes and approached, staring at me with the same eyes as if he were looking at a pet mouse in a cage.

"Don't, don't crow's mouth, we finally managed to have a marine, and if you say you're stupid again, how unlucky it would be!"

The smaller female captain immediately raised her hand in protest. At this time, her expression was sad, as if she had really discovered that I was actually a stupid person with a worrying IQ.

The footsteps came from the other side, and the sound had already come before the person arrived.

"Sir, don't be fooled by the two of them, this is the rhythm of teasing you with a fire, Zach just got into their way."

Walking quickly, it was Wei Leili who rescued me from embarrassment and inexplicability.

The two weirdos immediately looked bored.

"Cut, it's a good thing that you're here to spoil us. I'm not here to bully the new chief, I'm just here to greet you in advance. ”

The female captain pouted, no matter how she looked at it, she looked more like a child.

"If you can greet you in a more normal way, I don't have to come to the round for you."

Wei Leili spread his hands and made a look of exhaustion.

"Round?! For us? You are wrong, because you are afraid that your lieutenant colonel will not be able to come to the stage. ”

The strong man Harding directly pointed out Wei Leili's language disease. I have to say that this big man is really cunning, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to catch Wei's liar's slip of the tongue casually.

"What a fearlessness it is for the ignorant! Don't you think it's weird? How can such a stinky little hairy man in front of him be able to become a lieutenant colonel above us in the ranks of the army? ”

Wei Leili pretended to be mysterious, and the two of them really showed a thoughtful look.

"Could it be the illegitimate son of some general?"

As soon as the female captain said this, I almost fell to the ground, and it seemed that I had nothing to do with majesty and competence just by my appearance.

"Humph! He's so scarier than those boys and stuff. Let me tell you the truth, this is a man who hides very deeply, pretends to be demented on the surface, and sometimes has to act like a bewildered appearance, but in fact he is extremely evil inside. Whether it is an enemy, or even his comrades, they will be counted. He's a horror guy who even if he takes advantage of you, he won't let you know, and he can play with people's hearts and applause. I advise you to ......"

Seeing that the more Wei Leili spoke, the more out of tune he became, I finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted his act of spreading rumors in front of me.

All three turned their heads at the same time, looking at me with wary eyes.

"It's really a defeat to you, can you tell me what the hell is going on? Don't worry, I'm not going to toy with you for the time being. ”

......

Walking on the connecting road, the huge pipes, the wide road that tiled the heavy tanks through, it is hard to imagine that this is the hose that connects the two starships without knowing in advance.

The truth of the matter is that as a lieutenant colonel of the Marine Corps, it is also an unavoidable existence in the main fleet, where there is a shortage of personnel with combat experience. I was forcibly left in the fleet, as Verelli had predicted, as a lieutenant colonel of the ship-based Marine Corps.

Because of the high rank and the generally low status of the officers of the Marine Corps, even if I was placed on a battleship as a Marine Corps commander, I would not have the same rank. The top brass of the fleet, who had been thinking about it for a long time, reorganized the 400 marines who had been scattered and temporarily idle at the time of the capture of the Titans, and made me the commander of the fleet's fast mobile marine regiment, a unit with a slightly too long name, and temporarily allocated a reconnaissance cruiser and a number of assault boats as the vehicles of the fast mobile regiment.

The girl-sized captain Jasmine and the ship's tactical staff officer, Harding, were the operators assigned to me as a temporary command, on the reconnaissance cruiser Youth.

Even though it was the smallest of the cruisers, and even less tonnage than some destroyers, when I was about to step inside the ship and look out through the viewing window of the hose, I could only describe it as a giant ship with artificial mountains.

Thinking that maybe this place will become my home for a long time to come, I feel a little emotional, and I am a little nervous. After all, I'm not a professional background, and I'm a lieutenant colonel who rose up completely in front of the wartime, can I really adapt here compared to my colleagues who blink their eyes on strategy and tactics in the academy?

You know, on the university campus, my research focuses on culture, history, and things that have nothing to do with war.

"What a giant ship, just right for you to show your ambitions, sir."

Saying this sentence that no matter how I look at it, it doesn't match my state of mind, and Verelli turned his head to look at me.

"I didn't think about any revenge, and even the simple idea of joining the army at the beginning was just to fight devils and defend the country."

Verelli looked at me quietly, and this time he didn't show the smile he usually wore on his face.

"That's exactly what I'm here to tell you. Sir, no matter what you thought before, you can't be so simple anymore, now you are a big ship named Zhao Ping, carrying our fate and future, if you are too unmotivated, many people will be killed by you. ”

I was a little confused by his rhetoric, "Death? No, if I don't want to continue, I can ......."

"Nope! You can't, and even if you don't want to, you can't go back to the way things were. If you were still the worthless volunteer you used to be, no one would really care what you thought and where you went, but now it's different, as a mid-level officer who was painstakingly cultivated by the Martian Defense Force during the war, you have become a representative of the Martian faction, the new generation of elites, and your fate is closely related to many people......

"Please don't impose your fate on me. I joined the army to defend my family and country, and I have nothing to do with your bullshit Martian faction, I want to leave, I can leave immediately, and see who dares to stop me! ”

Our discussion caught the attention of the duo of the Youth, who were leading the way in front, and they looked at us with curious eyes from a certain distance.

Verelli shook his head.

"Sir, don't you understand? You are no longer an ordinary citizen hiding under the wings of others seeking protection, but a representative of the interests of the Martians, watered by the blood of countless warriors. Whether you like it or not, it has become the only refuge that many people can find, and how they will survive the war years if you leave. Now please calm down and think carefully, once you leave the army, you will be replaced by any unknown guy. Far away, the entire Martian colony, and even the Jupiter fortress, who will speak for them. Do people from other parts of the solar system care about Mars as much as we do? Perhaps with the decision of the top of a fleet, the decision to abandon the whole of Mars will be made. ”

"You think too highly of me. I'm just a lieutenant colonel, and I'm a lieutenant colonel in the Army, which is almost eliminated. Will it really be my turn to question and give an opinion on the resolution of the main fleet? It is estimated that the strategy of the fleet will not let me know from the formulation to the implementation. What's more, my hometown is the moon, and I'm not a Martian! ”

"At least...... At least you're the closest to the upper echelons of the fleet in the whole of Mars, and even Jupiter, and if you work harder, you'll be more productive than someone who isn't here. As for the fact that you're not a Martian, it's not a problem. You've fought on Mars, you've been badly wounded, and Mars has become a part of your life, a part that you can never part with. ”

After speaking, Wei Leili showed a sad expression. My heart softened.

"Let's talk about this later, at least...... I need to think about it. ”

Verelli saluted me and turned away in the most formal, military posture.

I lost the interest in continuing to admire the Youth, and under the watchful eye of the duo, I stepped on the Youth.
