014. Black Triple Star
Just as Lear was intoxicated with his beloved horse, a voice suddenly spoke to him.
"This is your new mech, Alxstein?" Lear's voice came from the side that he didn't really want to hear.
Char Aznable.
Lear ignored him, pretending to be drunk and not looking at him at all.
"It's ugly, Alkestein, your aesthetic is a little weird."
Zagu Rayguang's livery is the yellow color of the testing machine, and it hasn't had time to change it yet.
What the!!!
Lear was furious, and he didn't care to continue pretending that he wasn't there, but turned his head to glare at Char.
"Take your words back!!"
"Which part?" Char leaned against the railing in front of the body and said with a smile, "About the part of your aesthetic that is bad, or about the part where this body is particularly ugly?" β
"Take it all back for me!" Lear said dissatisfiedly: "My beloved horse just hasn't had time to change the livery yet!" β
"Besides, I don't think your aesthetics are much better," Lear said unscrupulously, "The clothes are a riotous red, and even your own body is that kind of red, and it is painted all over, do you want to show your existence so much?" β
"How dare you say, you guy," Char said, "you think I did it to show myself?" The commander's machine is painted in eye-catching colors, which can boost the morale of the soldiers, and it can also be more convenient to command the troops in the Minovsky particle environment, after all, they cannot use communication equipment, so they can only rely on light signals and sign language communication, and the eye-catching paint can help soldiers quickly find their commander. β
"This kind of officer consciousness standing on people, you rookie don't have it yet." What Char said Lear was not prepared to accept without resistance.
"But wouldn't the bright paint make you more vulnerable?" Not to be outdone, Lear said, "If you let the officers be attacked intensively because of this, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse?" β
"Having said that," Char shook his head and said, "But mastering the means to protect oneself is also the quality of an officer, and those who do not have this quality are disqualified from the beginning." β
"The pilot who pilots the MS is like a knight in the Middle Ages, the knights are always dressed brightly, especially the knight commander who leads the team, he is equivalent to today's MS commander, and he also has to shoulder the task of commanding other knights, and he also has to take the lead in charging into battle, the knight commander in the past was selected according to the competition, we are not using this barbaric selection method today, but it does not mean that we can ignore the improvement of our own skills," he showed a "you are still very young" expression: "This requires us commanders." , not only to master the ability to command troops, but also to have the driving skills that surpass the soldiers. β
"I don't even understand this kind of thing, you're still very young."
This guy actually said it, and Lear's forehead burst with bruises.
Char's argument seemed to him to be sophistry, it was rare for an officer to have both superior driving ability and command ability, and most officers could not command a battle while protecting themselves in a tense battle, in which case they could only give up the ability to fight and choose the ability to command.
This is not to say that an officer is born noble, and can only die a soldier but not an officer, but because the responsibilities he bears in battle are completely different from those of the soldiers, and if he dies in vain because of his own personal blood and bravery, and exposes his troops to the danger of not having a command, then we can say that such an officer is unqualified.
The same is true from a national point of view, it is much more difficult to replenish officers than to replenish soldiers, who only need three to six months of training, and can even be drawn directly from civilian ships or construction machine pilots, but officers need natural talent and four to six years of training.
Wasting the country's investment in him because of a moment of courage cannot be said to be a responsible attitude, but can only be said to be a manifestation of inconsciousness.
Lear and Char's views are very different, which once again makes Lear realize that he really can't get along with this guy.
It's not just past grievances, it's more about the completely different worldviews of the two.
He always felt that Char was a person who seemed to be a charismatic leader and was widely admired by his younger students, but he was actually a very obedient guy.
I don't know what I'm thinking all day long, but on the other hand, Karma Zabi is particularly easy to understand.
So Lear kind of likes Karma.
Silly kids are cute.
"Tsk." So he didn't want to go on, he blatantly stammered, and then turned his head away from the red guy.
But the red side had just finished when three big black men came running over to harass him.
It was Jicilia's henchmen, three middle-aged uncles in black tights, and his seniors when he was teaching the brigade.
Also known as the 'Black Triple Star'.
But looking at the way they were together everywhere they went, Lear thought it would be nice to change their name to Black Siamese Baby.
Lear couldn't help but start wondering if the three of them would find the same girlfriend and γγγγγγ
Ahem.
It's dirty, this bunch.
Lear, who took the liberty of accusing others of being too dirty, eventually had to turn his attention to the trifecta.
Gaia, who has the most normal face, Ordiga, who is tall and full of flesh, and Matthew, the one-eyed dragon, has already hung up the rank of lieutenant in the ranks, and Ordiga and Matthew have also climbed to the rank of ensign, which is very abnormal.
To say that the three friends of the Black Triple Star, in fact, they were already very famous when they taught the brigade, the earliest MS pilot training unit of Zeon, no matter how high the military rank, as long as you want to become an MS pilot, you must enter it to study, Gaia and the other three are one of the few excellent pilots who entered the teaching brigade as soldiers, but became the top group of people.
Although the driving skills are outstanding, because the three of them were not originally from a professional class, they have no command talent except for Gaia, and Gaia, who has the highest military rank, was just a military cao at that time, and Lear, a novice, was a warrant officer as soon as he graduated from the military academy, and he was turned to a second lieutenant a year later, which is very different from the treatment of these three hard people.
Perhaps it is precisely because they don't get the treatment they deserve that these three guys, as the aces of a small number of soldiers, have gradually grouped together, and they have always had a bad attitude towards guys like Lear.
Of course, the more important reason for Lear is that these three guys are not very good-looking, while Lear is a big handsome guy.
That's why this perfect logic made Lear nod his head.
But it's only been more than a year, how can these three guys rise so fast? Lear was a little curious.
At this moment, Char, who was beside him, suddenly said, "Long time no see, all of you of the Black Trifecta." β
"It's you!?" Seeing Char, Gaia sneered and said, "It turned out to be you, Char's 'lieutenant'." β
Gaia said the word Lieutenant very loudly, while Aldiga and Matthew behind him showed disgusted expressions.
Huh? These two groups of people originally knew each other?
Seeing that it didn't seem to have anything to do with him, Lear immediately switched himself to theater mode.
"Not only has you been reinstated as an officer, but you have also been promoted two levels in a row, Lieutenant Char, your luck is very good."
Ordiga on the side was furious, and said in accordance with Gaia's words: "In the battle of the Rainy Sea, it is obviously our merits that are greater, why did you guys not mention the reinstatement of the official all of a sudden, and actually promoted to lieutenant?" β
"Obviously I'm a second lieutenant!"
Lear took a moment and found a lot of problems from Ordiga's words, Yuhai, if I'm not mistaken, isn't that the name of a place on the moon? Lear's geography told him that it was a lunar sea near the lunar city of von Brown, in the heart of the Earth Federation, and that Zeon had already fought with the Federation once there.
And seeing that Char and Sanlianxing, who participated in the war, have been promoted, I'm afraid that Zeon will still win, isn't this tantamount to spitting in the mouth of the Federation.
And depending on the situation, Zeon even threw in MS.
But the Federation suffered a loss and did not take advantage of the topic, why? Probably because of that conflict, the Federation was at fault.
Then the mission is probably to hunt down a defecting VIP or spy, or the Federation wants to get something from Zeon and get beaten up by Fat.
It would not be a good thing for the federation, as the central government, to be exposed to the black hand of SIDE (although this is an inevitable thing), and everyone is already very dissatisfied with the federation.
Lear felt that there must be a deep inside story to dig into this problem, but he was still not ready to get involved, he was just a little interested, and there was no need to dig into the problem.
Lear's eyes sharpened, and Ordiga probably didn't expect that an unintentional sentence would make Lear almost guess the content of their mission.
"What kind of means did you use?" The one-eyed dragon Mathieu said with a smile: "Maybe it's the high-ranking officials of the military, everyone likes handsome guys." β
"Hey, Matthew, be polite to Shangguan," Gaia said as if to stop Matthew, "After all, those who came from military schools are from military schools. β
"It's not like us guys who got up from creeps."
It is worthy of being a black triple star, even ridiculing others is a three-stage style, there are foreshadowing, there are leading to topics, there are also final blows, some are straightforward, some are cynical, and finally there are those who pretend to be the other party's companions, but in fact poke people's scars, this tacit understanding is no wonder that it can become one of the best pilots in the teaching team.
What I just now should be the use of their killer weapon, 'Bullet-type Jet Attack'.
Lear, who felt like he had witnessed the birth of a new nirvana, was slightly moved.
"It's really surprising," I didn't expect Char to say unhurriedly: "You who are already famous in the whole army, and have the title of Black Triple Star, actually care so much about whether you can be promoted?" β
"People who care about rank and status are the kind of people who don't have any talent of their own."
"What are you talking about?" Aldiga was furious and wanted to teach Char to be a man, and the punching bag fist was about to smash Char's little white face into flowers.
βοΌβ However, Char dodged Ordiga's attack with just a light one.
"All of you from the Black Trifecta, we are all MS pilots, and it would be too unskilled to have any contradictions to blame your fists," Char said with a smile, "I have a proposal, I don't know if you are interested." β
"Tell me about it." Gaia said.
"Since we are both MS pilots, how about using MS battles to resolve conflicts?" Char pointed to his body and said: "Of course, after all, we are all Zeon soldiers, and it is against military law to fight each other because of personal contradictions. β
"Then it's decided." Gaia nodded.
"However, all of you who are three of you, and I am only one, this kind of competition is a bit unfair to meγγγγγγ
"Then we'll only play one person, one-on-one with you, so it's always okay, right?"
"That's too unfair to all of you in the three stars, the three of them are famous because of the cooperation of the skilled team, do you have the ability to be an ace pilot when separated?"
βγγγγγγ How dare you say that, Char Aznable," Gaia said, holding back her anger, "and what are you going to do?" β
"Here," Char pulled out Lear, who was looking elated, "How about I and this Ensign Lear Wolfgang Alxstein form a makeshift combination?" β
Huh?
Lear, who was innocently shot, looked dazed, what was this guy talking about.
"It's 3 to 2 on the scene, and the strength of Second Lieutenant Alkestein must be very clear to you who belong to the same teaching brigade, and I have no experience in cooperating with Second Lieutenant Alkestein, so the strength of the two sides is roughly balanced." Char had an expression of gratitude that I had released the water like this.
Huh??
Lear didn't want to get involved in the, but before he could break free from Char's shackles, he heard Gaia's words: "Okay, it's decided, let's have a black triple star, and teach you rookies from the school how to fight!" β
What about my opinion?
At this moment, Gaia also deliberately glared at Lear: "Let's see the combat effectiveness of the top students of the military academy!" β
Did you steal someone's lines?
