Since there was no order from above, Trode did not take out this Tiger II for the so-called exhibition as Andre did when they obtained Project 136. And although it doesn't reveal any information, Trod can also see that although their vehicles are already top in terms of performance, they are still not very comparable to Andre in terms of the particularity they can represent.

At the very least, their combat vehicles should have begun mass production, and he and Heard were only the first to benefit, while Andrey was different, and Project 136 was completely a trial test version when Andre and they got it. While such products may be less stable in terms of performance, it is enough to show how strong their priority is.

However, what Trode didn't know was that the reason why Andre was able to get this batch of 136 projects was not unrelated to his military exploits, but mainly relied on the medium of Anton. It is precisely because of Anton's connections in various departments that Andrei was able to get this batch of combat vehicles that have not yet begun mass production. However, this kind of thing is actually only known to a few insiders, and ordinary members like Boris and Leonid can't guess the mystery at all.

However, even if she was replaced with a new vehicle, for Hilde, the Tiger Style was not something she could easily abandon. With no one else in tow, Trode and Hild's crew found a secluded spot to give her scarred Tiger a brief but important farewell ceremony.

“……”

Hilde just lay on top of the tiger and didn't say a word, as if he was communicating with him. Although Trod didn't know if the tank as a weapon really had a soul, he knew that someone like Heard who could treat weapons so well would inevitably be kind to her. The best example is that although the Tiger often has some problems due to the high load, compared with the Tiger of other squads, Shield's Tiger rarely has any problems in peacetime except for the damage received during combat, and its failure rate has always been at the lowest level in the division. This kind of envy of others' records, even Hans and Marcus, who have made achievements in this area, cannot be compared.

However, there is a degree to everything, and once everything is excessive, then it will become a bad thing, and this is the case with the current Hilde and Tiger style farewell. Although Trode could see that Hilde had been trying hard not to let the tears in her eyes fall, she had no way to leave the Tiger, and it would undoubtedly be a torture to go on like this. Whether it's for Hilde, or for this Tiger......

"Alright, it's time to say goodbye."

Trode stepped forward and hugged Hilde, but at this time, Hilde couldn't hold back anymore, and threw himself directly into Trode's arms and cried loudly. Although Trode is not as emotional as the chariot, his heart is about to break when he hears Hilde's cry.

However, if he is weak at this time, then it is always Hilde who suffers, in order to make this little girl really move forward, and in order to fulfill the promise he made with Anselm, Trode helped Hilde up, dragged her to look at the tiger in front of him, and said softly: "Yes, he is the most important thing to you...... But don't forget, you're also the most important thing to him......"

"So...... So I ......"

Listening to Trod's words, Hilde's heart, which had already been decided, was shaken again, she only wanted this Tiger now, no matter what powerful the tank was, it didn't matter to her, because only the Tiger could represent her journey from joining the barracks to the present. And if the tiger style is abandoned, then it means that all of this is abandoned.

Hilde remembered that it was Trode who rescued her from the burning Tiger in the first place, and if it was to talk about the Tiger Pose, then even this would have to be abandoned. In the end, the person who gave her the Tiger style, the person who gave her to the Tiger style, is she going to give it up? This choice was too cruel for Hilde to bear and not allow her to do it herself.

But, Hilde may have forgotten that she's not alone now......

"Do you remember when you were in the last Tiger, because you were reluctant to give up, you stayed in the chariot to do the final struggle?" Trood laughed as he talked about the past, and Hilde's cry gradually lowered, and Trode continued: "I don't discuss whether what you did right or wrong now, at least, you left the Tiger at that time, did you?" But did you really lose anything when you were exposed to Tiger Pose again later? ”

“……”

Hilde didn't answer, because she already had the answer in her heart, but her weakness didn't allow her to look at it directly. But. Hilde was not to blame, after all, such a thing was too difficult for a young girl who had all her thoughts on a chariot.

"I think you are the same as you were back then—I already have the answer in my heart. So, I'll take you away as I did at the beginning. As Trode said this, he clearly felt the tremor of Hilde in his arms, but he did not waver. Because he knows that he must not hesitate to do the same as he did when he stepped into the sea of fire......

"It may be a bit unforgiving, but because you are the most important thing to each other, you have to say goodbye at a critical time." Trode put his arm around Hilde, who was in tears, and stroked the tiger in front of him with the other, and said, "It's because you are the most important to it that it doesn't want anything to happen to you." Just like this battle has been, for you, for it, it's a disservice. ”

"Just as you don't want to see it destroyed, it doesn't want to see you hurt, but there's only one solution......" Trood paused and continued, "A true friend knows when to say goodbye, and now, that time." ”

Trood grabbed Hilde's hand, gently placed it on top of the Tiger and said, "Okay, look up, it's saying goodbye to you, too." Don't let this final parting be a regret, Hilde, and say goodbye to it. ”

Hilde gritted his teeth, but finally said, "Again...... Bye! Tiger Pose! ”

That day was the longest day Hilde had cried, and the farthest the girl had ever moved forward......
