Bad.

Something doesn't feel good.

"I said you two, if you're fine, go about your own business." Lear didn't reply to Aina directly, but turned to Anabel Cardo and Jonny Layden.

"Huh? Ah, yes!! Although there was a momentary pause, the soldier made it his duty to obey orders, so the two of them immediately saluted and turned away, giving up the place to Lear and Aina.

It's not that Lear wants to do anything bad, but after all, there may be some awkwardness between him and Aina, and this embarrassment may be reflected in words or expressions, and he doesn't want his subordinates to see this.

Of course, it must be noted that Lear is not the kind of person who is overly self-conscious, and he doesn't think about anything like whether or not he is chasing me, on the contrary, he thinks it is probably an inevitable coincidence.

Although the condition of the Sakhalin family is not very good, it has not yet been reduced to the point that it is not even necessary to put its daughter into the engaged Lear, and the self-esteem of Genyas Sakhalin is probably reluctant to even marry before, and Lear will feel that his face is damaged and he will hold a grudge against him after refusing.

If you think about it carefully, Aina Sakhalin will appear under his command, in fact, it is not a very incredible thing, the head of the Sakhalin family, Ginhas, is himself a technical officer with the rank of brigadier general of the Technology Development Bureau, and the Sakhalin family is as famous as Alksstein, and the history is longer than that of Alksstein, and their daughter is naturally related to weapons and equipment, and will serve as a pilot of a test machine (it seems that she is not a regular army) Although it is a little strange, but it is not impossible.

At the same time, the Sakhalins are also related to Zeonnik, so it is not surprising that Aina joined the field technical test team composed of Zeonnik technicians (Note 1), and didn't Maggie also become a member of this unit?

This kind of technical test unit is not too dangerous, but also meritorious, and it can bring the relationship between enterprises and the army closer, and it is normal for the Sakhalins to want to get involved.

And it just so happened that Nores, the chief retainer of the Sakhalin family, happened to be the commander of this army, which not only allowed Aina to complete her work, but also kept her safe very well.

Keeping Aina under her own protection was something that the somewhat overprotective Nolles would do.

Since there are so many advantages, it is not a big deal that there may be a small embarrassment between them and themselves, after all, since the marriage between the two families has failed, then they have returned to competition with each other, and the Sakhalin family naturally does not care about their opinions.

"Well, you're welcome to join us, Miss Sakhalin," Lear said with a smile and as soft-tempered as possible, "We will be comrades in the same army from now on, and I hope we can 。。。。。 ”

Before he could finish speaking, the words were interrupted by Aina, her face was expressionless, and Lear couldn't tell what she was thinking, in fact, she had a similar atmosphere to Maggie, and Lear was a little inexplicably in awe of this type of girl.

The same vibe is also present in Serra, but Lear can't sum it up well.

"Second Lieutenant Alkerstein, I'm not a young lady now," Aina said with a straight face, "Although I am not a regular soldier, I am still a soldier, please call me Sakhalin Technical Non-commissioned Officer or Sakhalin Chief in the army." ”

Well? Is this girl such a character? Lear always felt that something was wrong, and he felt an aura of camouflage in Aina, as if this kind of one-sided look and no sand in her eyes was not the true face of the other party.

Probably an illusion, but in fact this is just the first meeting between Lear and Aina, and he doesn't know each other at all, and he doesn't have any questions about such an object, such as 'whether he feels like he is forcing himself' or something.

Lear wasn't prepared to dwell on anything: "I'm out of the question, Captain Sakhalin. ”

"Welcome to your joining, I hope you can reflect your value, I personally look forward to your strength," Lear politely paused and asked, "So, Captain Sakhalin, has you already decided which squad you belong to?" ”

"No, Noles。。。。。。 Captain Packat hasn't decided where I'm going yet. ”

"In this case, then I'll confirm with the captain later, I hope we have the opportunity to fight side by side," Lear said casually, the latter sentence was not a polite remark, since he can be a test machine pilot, the technology must be guaranteed, compared to a rookie, of course, he hopes that the pilot with superior technology will cooperate: "But now, can you introduce this machine to me?" ”

He turned his head to look at the Zagu and asked with interest, "Forgive my eyes, I don't seem to have noticed any difference between this machine and the normal 06C." ”

"Yes, Second Lieutenant, please go this way." With that, Aina turned and floated towards the weapons depot next to the body.

"The body itself is indeed an ordinary Zagu, and the work of our field technical test unit this time is not to test the body, but to test some newly designed MS equipment," Aina grabbed the mobile handrail in the cabin while turning her head to Lear beside her and explained: "The specific parameters of the test weapon have also been submitted to the second lieutenant, I hope you will confirm it later." ”

"New weapons?" Lear asked, "What's there?" ”

"There is one weapon for the type test, and two for the production test," they said, and they came to the weapons: "Please see." ”

The so-called finalization test means that all the main designs have been completed and are now put into actual combat to test the deficiencies, while the production delivery test, which is the so-called pre-mass production, has been officially put into production.

Lear looked in the direction Aina was pointing, "The weapons that have been put in place for production and inspection are these two pieces, the MS shield and the MMP-78 Zagu machine gun modification. ”

"Presumably, the second lieutenant also understands that because the magazine of the old MMP-78 is located in the middle of the machine gun, it is often complained by the soldiers, thinking that it is very difficult to aim," Aina dutifully explained: "So according to the requirements of the Technology Development Bureau, Gionnik made certain modifications to the Zagu machine gun in service in our army, and moved the magazine to the right rear to free up the field of vision for soldiers to shoot." ”

Well, yes, Lear also knows the disadvantages of the MMP-78, after all, he himself has complained that the huge disc magazine is very much in the way, and the Technology Development Bureau has done a great thing.

In addition to the Zagu machine gun, there was also a hexagonal, short at the top and long at the bottom, which could stand up to block about half of Zagu's body.

Although Zagu has his own shoulder shield to use, that shield is too small, and it is not like a hand-held shield that can be used and discarded, and it is very troublesome to replace, and it is difficult for soldiers with some experience to use it.

So a shield is very necessary, as long as it is not a trump card, it is inevitable to eat some artillery fire in the battle against the ship, and the battleship's Miga particle main gun is not mentioned, it is really unlucky to eat a shot even if there is a shield, it is no different, but in the face of the battleship's self-defense artillery fire is different, there is a shield that can greatly increase survivability in the face of anti-aircraft guns.

"That's good, the Technology Development Bureau has finally done a job," Lear nodded with satisfaction, the importance of the shield was even more important than the improvement of the Zagu machine gun: "When will this shield be put into mass production?" ”

Who knew that Aina was stunned for a moment and said: "No, the words of the shield are just a task commissioned by Geonnick, not a project of the Technology Development Bureau, and I have not heard of any mass production plans." ”

"I don't really know exactly what Genenick is going to do."

What, Lear was a little disappointed, and he thought to himself that if he had a chance to mention the matter of equipping Zagu with a shield in the future, he would have to mention it to the Technology Development Bureau.

"What about the finalized weapon?" The first two were very technical, but very effective, which made Lear look forward to the other weapon.

"The other weapon is a melee weapon for the MS." Aina said.

As he spoke, Lear saw the so-called melee weapon.

A knife, according to Aina, is a prototype type of thermal saber.

Lierton frowned, the so-called greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, not that there is anything wrong with this knife, but melee weapons are in a delicate position in the tactics of MS, MS has a 120mm machine gun, which has lethal damage to the bridge and external facilities, even if some key parts cannot be penetrated, there are also nuclear bazookas, and any battleship will sink if it is fired, in the case of MS equipped with a large number of shooting weapons, unless it is exhausted, Otherwise, Lear would hardly have thought of a situation where a melee weapon would be needed.

Hawkers,If the Federation also has MS,Maybe it can come in handy during the MS war.。

It is true that this thermal saber has various advantages that the thermal axe does not have, first of all, it is long enough, and the only part of the thermal weapon that has lethal power is the blade, Lear doesn't know what the designers are thinking, but they chose an axe that is extremely difficult to use and the shape is not suitable as a blueprint, which means that the thermal axe with a side blade has only one side of the innate damage, not only only the side of the axe blade has damage, but the innate attack distance is also shorter, and if the saber shape is used, the attack range is almost equal to the full length, And unlike axes, which can only be wielded, sabers can also pierce.

However, no matter how much you improve, melee weapons are still just melee weapons.

Lear pursed his lips, ignoring what seemed to him to be a flashy weapon, and instead said to Aina, "Captain Sakhalin, how many shields have you brought with MS?" ”

"Huh?" Aina said suspiciously: "It's still quite a lot, after all, it's expendable equipment, what are you going to do, Second Lieutenant Alkestein?" ”

"Can this shield be equipped by Zagu?" Lear asked.

Well, Aina understood what Lear was thinking, "There's nothing wrong with this, and there's plenty of it." ”

"That's good, let's equip all our troops first."

"Yes, Second Lieutenant," Aina saluted, "I'll take care of this matter at once." ”

"Then I'll leave it to you here, Captain Sakhalin, if there is any necessary paperwork, you can transfer it to my adjutant He Lusai Juncao." With that, Lear was ready to turn and leave.

However, he didn't take two steps before he was stopped by Aina: "Ensign Alkestein, I have a 。。。。。。 Have a personal question for you, is that okay? ”

Huh? Lear was a little surprised, but stopped and looked at Aina.

"Ensign Alkerstein, you。。。。。。。 You are obviously a young master from a good family, why did you choose to join the army? Aina asked, turning her head to look at the murder weapon beside her, Lear could only see her face, but didn't know what she was thinking: "Risking your life to go to war and kill people in faraway places." ”

"Is it for glory? Or is it a position of power? Or is it for the family? ”

"Why?"

Lear always felt that the person she really wanted to ask was not herself, but someone she could see a shadow in herself.

Lear thought for a moment and said, "My words are because my ideals must be realized by the army, no, by force, and joining the army will help me." ”

"So I joined the army."

"Your ideals? Are you willing to kill someone you don't know for that ideal? Even if they have their own families, friends and lovers, and their own ideals? Aina frowned, her tone became scathing, and her eyes began to contain anger, I am afraid that she thinks Lear is the kind of bastard who will do anything to climb up: "Your ideal, is it the ideal that requires you to do these things?" ”

Ah, I see, Leardon understood Aina's train of thought, although he was not a person who would repeatedly consider the rationality of his actions, but he still said slowly: "It's not that my ideals require me to do these things, but to achieve them, even if it's this kind of thing, I'm willing to do it." ”

"Because I know very well that my ideal cannot be achieved without force and to this extent, and it is not something that can be achieved by saying it with my mouth," he inexplicably remembered a poem called Threshold: "Therefore, even if I have to endure accusations, do not want fame, even if I sacrifice for it, even if I commit crimes for it, I am willing, and this is not what my ideals force me to do, but I do it voluntarily." ”

He said earnestly and sincerely, without a hint of falsehood in his words, and he smiled and said to Aina: "Because I believe in it and am willing to give everything for it." ”

“。。。。。。。” Aina doesn't answer Lear's words, she is trapped in her own world, looking a little lost.

Lear asked, "When I'm done, what about you, Captain Sakhalin?" ”

"Huh?" As if awakened, Aina made a puzzled sound.

"I mean you? Why did you join the military? Lear asked, "Don't talk about me, you're also the eldest lady of a good family, and you're still a woman, didn't you also set foot on the battlefield, although you are not a regular soldier, but the battlefield does not distinguish whether you have military status or not, you always have to shoot and kill." ”

"If you think my presence here is a problem, aren't you the same?" Lear smiled and said, "Why would you want to go to war?" ”

"I 。。。。。。。" Aina said, her gaze becoming more and more determined: "My most important person chose war, and in order to help him, I came. ”

Her eyes were clear, and Lear wondered if it was her lover or something, but fortunately she didn't choose her in the first place, otherwise she would have been burdened with the sin of breaking up the mandarin duck.

"In this way, I guess the person you are important to also has his own reasons, he must have chosen this path after consideration."

"I wish you all the best of luck," Lear said with a smile, "whether it's you or him, I wish your wishes come true." ”

Aina was silent for a moment, as if she had let go of something, and finally stopped talking to Lear with that blunt attitude, and Lear noticed that she still smiled very beautifully: "You too, Second Lieutenant Alkerstein." ”

"Good luck."

Note 1: In the original book, Aina was an irregular test pilot, and it is not surprising that she flew the prototype of the high-mobility Zagu MS-06R, the 'Space High Mobility Experimental Zagu' MS-06RD-4, and has something to do with Geonnick.
