010.Engagement (2)

After Lear finished speaking, he saw Maggie watching him all the time.

There was no fierce look on her face, but Lear, who knew her very well, could sense her concern.

He and Maggie looked at each other for a moment, then nodded slightly to show that there was no need to worry, and then left without waiting for her reply.

Because he knew that Maggie's reply could not be a reassuring reply, and since that was the case, there was no point in staying where he was.

Lear then quickly caught up with Aina and walked with the two of them in the direction of Gnaku, and on the way, Aina couldn't help but ask, "What did Nolles say to you?" ”

Lear hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you want to hear it?" ”

He didn't know what type of Aina was, the kind he would feel ashamed of because of the care of his relatives and friends, or the kind that would accept the kindness of others.

Although most of it is the latter one.

"Forget it, I can probably guess what he said?" Aina sighed lightly, "I'm sorry, you don't have to care about what he says. ”

"As you said, I chose to go to the battlefield on my own, and I will naturally be responsible for my choice." Aina said, but she didn't look stubborn, but simply stated a fact.

"Not happy?" Lear asked abruptly, and with a kick of his feet, he turned the corner, and in front of him was the entrance to Gnaku.

"Why," Aina said with a smile shaking her head, "It's better to say the opposite." ”

"I'm very happy." Her expression was calm, and the tension that had been caused by the battle couldn't help but ease.

Lear thought of Maggie, and while that was rude to someone who was worried about him, it was 。。。。。。。

He couldn't deny that he was happy about it.

Passing through the door of Gnacu, you can see the scene of Gnaku in full swing, and everyone is making final preparations for the upcoming battle.

Lear felt that most of them weren't really busy preparing for something, after all, most of the preparations had already been done before, such as overhauling the airframe, and now all they had to do was equip their weapons.

People who pretend to be busy to hide their uneasiness in their hearts, Lear thinks that there are probably not a few.

"All the airframes are equipped with C equipment! Repeat, all the airframes are equipped with C equipment! "Through the ship's announcement, the order reached every technician.

The so-called C equipment is the equipment used for the strong attack on satellites and ships, including nuclear rocket artillery, Zagu machine guns, and iron fist missiles, and is mainly equipment for fire projection.

Aina said, "Then, Second Lieutenant Alkerstein, I'll go back to my body." ”

Lear nodded and said, "Okay, good luck." ”

"You too, please take care, second lieutenant." With that, she stepped on the railing and jumped down, walking towards the position of her own body in the distance without looking back.

Lear, on the other hand, grabbed a passing pilot, who was a little impatient at first, but when he found out that the other party was his boss, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up: "Sir! ”

Lear ignored him and said, "Are all the new shields fitted?" ”

"Ah, yes, sir, most of the mechs are configured," the pilot didn't seem to react to Lear's question for a while, until Lear frowned and didn't understand the problem, and said busily, "But some people's shields are too bulky to be necessary。。。。。。 ”

"Let them all load!" Lear said loudly, otherwise his voice would disappear into a cacophony of voices: "Save your life at a critical moment!" ”

"But 。。。。。。。" The pilot also tried to argue something, perhaps he was also one of those who found the shield too cumbersome, and this kind of person was not uncommon among MS pilots, just like the pilots who always felt that they were free people who controlled the wind, and there were many fools among the pilots who felt that anything that hindered their flight was a bad thing.

"Nothing, it's an order!" Lear wasn't prepared to say more.

After speaking, he walked towards his own body, of course, he didn't have to worry about the maintenance of Lear's body, it used to be handed over to the technicians of the Leipzig, and after the field technical test unit was in place, it was handed over to the technicians of Gionnick to be responsible for it full-time, after all, although Zagu Thunder was privately produced by Alxstein's family, he obtained the project of the Technology Development Bureau, and actually obtained a certain amount of funds, at the cost of regularly feeding back the airframe test report to the Technology Development Bureau.

So Lear hadn't paid attention to his body for a long time, and it had been a private affair and a business affair for him all this time, and he was a little too busy to get his feet on the ground.

So, when he saw his body, his face turned green.

In the meantime, his mechage was ready to go, with shields, rocket launchers, thermal axes and iron fist missiles at his waist, fully armed and ready for battle.

In that case, why did Lear have an indescribable expression of pain?

Because they are all yellow.

Lear finally remembered that although he had told Char that he was going to change the yellow color scheme of the testing machine, he had completely forgotten about it after that, so much so that the technicians thought he liked yellow and painted all the equipment yellow!

And in order to match the color, some positions, such as the waist, shoulders and other details were painted black, which became a bit similar to the main yellow and black colors of the Romanov royal flag.

Not only that, but they also added the black Zeon coat of arms to the additional shields, and the (bought) coat of arms of the Alxstein family, a Valkyrie armed with a spear and shield, on the shoulder shield of Zagu.

The style of the whole body came up at once.

Lear's mood suddenly became a little subtle, he didn't like bright colors very much, but he liked those mixed cool colors that didn't pierce the eyes, such as iron gray.

But at this point, he couldn't suddenly say a change of color, and Lear had to grit his teeth and endure it.

This must not have been done by Maggie, most of the technician took it upon himself to please himself and let me drive such a conspicuous body in a group of forgiveness color bodies, for fear that others would not know that I was an officer?

Knowing this, he should have paid more attention to his body, Lear sighed and entered the cockpit.

Incredibly, the moment he sat in the cockpit, he suddenly calmed down, the cramped cockpit, the dense instrument panel, these elements that might have made people claustrophobic, are now so reassuring, because it is a weapon, a weapon that can save one's life in the upcoming battle.

At this moment, there is nothing more secure than that.

Lear rubbed the artificial rubber non-slip sleeve on the operating lever, and the slightly rough surface could be clearly felt even through the driver's suit.

It is estimated that there are still 30 minutes left before the battle, and in ten minutes at most, the MS team will set off, and he holds his head high and closes his eyes.

What should I do at this time? After a while, he felt a little bored, and began to habitually diverge his thinking, what did the soldiers do before they went into battle?

As far as the biographical literature he has read, there are roughly eating, praying, vowing, and of course, copulation/mating, he thought about it, and felt that at this time, it should be both forced and practical, probably only chanting scriptures and praying for blessings or something, but he is not a believer, and it is not appropriate to recite the Communist Manifesto at this time, after all, he is not fighting for communism at the moment.

Suddenly feeling a little depressed, he muttered, and inexplicably chose to start recalling the novels and operas he had read in the past.

A thunderclap of calamity fell,

Burning his chest with rage,

The deep hatred is about to be avenged,

Mountain carving!

I can't wait to catch you with a knife and axe and chop up your blood!

No, no, no, this feels a little wrong, and I don't have any deep hatred for the federal army, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use this script to outwit Weihu Mountain.

So......

The most precious thing for human beings is life. Life belongs to man only once. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he has wasted his time for doing nothing, nor will he feel guilty for being a despicable person and living a vulgar life. In this way, at the end of his life, he will be able to say: 'I have devoted my whole life and all my energies to the most magnificent cause in the world β€” the struggle for the emancipation of mankind.'

It doesn't seem right, not to mention that this war has nothing to do with human liberation, Lear always has the illusion that if he says this, he may die.

So....... However, before he could think about the next article, the ship's radio came out: "MS team, the launch begins, all pilots are ready for battle!" ”

"Now announce the combat goal: annihilate the Federation fleet!"

"May the light of victory shine upon you, long live Zeon."

"Long live Zeon!!" The cheers turned into a wave of heat towards Lear, who scrambled to close the hatch to keep himself from being burned by the heat.

Moments later, he stood up with the fuselage in his hands, and was sent by the transport rack in the direction of the hatch, where the rest of the Leipzig hulls were lined up behind him, ready to be dropped.

While they were still in the cabin of the Leipzig and the communication equipment was still available, he turned on the radio: "You all heard, the goal is to completely annihilate the federal fleet, let's all refuel!" ”

"Don't worry, as long as you give full play to your usual training results, we will definitely win!"

"Do you have faith?" Lear yelled.

"There is !!" "What followed was a loud, ear-hurting roar from the radio.

"Good! I won't say much more, so all the staff will do the final inspection and go!! ”

As he spoke, the hatch slowly opened, and a deep starry sky suddenly appeared in front of them, and the vast and indistinguishable starlight shone on their bodies.

Of course, there is another process that must not be forgotten before departure.

Lear took a deep breath: "Lear Wolfgang Alkstein, Zagu Thunderlight. ”

"Attack!"
