010 Caspian Sea
Inside the HER No. 0113A carrier aircraft, the "Red Knight" was communicating with Colonel Zhuge Daozi via video.
"I can't believe that your second defeat will be like this."
Colonel Zhuge Daozi sat in the captain's seat of the "Wuhou"-class battleship, and gently shook the paper fan with Erlang's legs crossed.
"Huh? Second? I don't remember where I've lost before. The Red Knight had a drink cup in his hand, drinking and talking.
"You forgot? When you were in military school, you lost a lot in rope climbing competitions. ”
"Don't let me remind you who did it on my rope!"
Talking about the past, the two laughed heartily, and after a while, Zhuge Daozi asked:
"Do you think it's the second machine stolen by the Osiris?"
"Most likely, although the attackers were locals and dressed like the guerrillas, their weapons were Covenant-standard. It may be that the Osiris bought off the partisans, gave them weapons, and stole the second machine. ”
"So where did they get the information?"
"The captain of the Osiris, Shepard, is a former Commodore of the Star Alliance, so it shouldn't be difficult to get this kind of information."
"Well, thinking about it, including the Osiris's surrender to our army, there may be the support of the main battle faction of the Star Alliance."
"Yes, and now that the Star Alliance has humanoid weapons that can carry out long-range laser attacks, it is only a matter of time before other forces crack the principle that those bodies of the Moore Chamber of Commerce can use laser weapons."
"The technological gap between other forces and our army is getting smaller and smaller..."
Speaking of this, the red knight put down the drink in his hand, stood up and saluted Zhuge Daozi and said:
"Colonel, I would like you to allow me to direct this carrier aircraft in pursuit of the Osiris and the second plane."
Zhuge Daozi put away the folding fan, and said while patting his palm with the fan bone:
"In my opinion, you don't agree with the second machine."
"Eight characters don't match?" Red Knight doesn't quite understand that it's a Chinese word.
"It's nothing, you just understand it as 'nothing to do with you' or 'horoscopes clash with each other' or something... I am about to take all the soldiers of 'Wuhou' to support the Eastern European battlefield, and you are my indispensable force. But I understand your character, and I'm afraid it's about your glory, right? ”
"Yes"
"Okay, I agreed, but I'll only give you a week, and after a week you'll want me back, no matter what the outcome is."
"Yes!" The Red Knight saluted again.
"By the way, Colonel, I have one more thing to ask you..."
"You're telling me not to tell anyone about your missteps, are you?"
"That's right," the Red Knight smiled.
"Hahaha, don't worry, you are also my cronies, and I won't do anything to harm others and myself. Go ahead! I wish you good luck! ”
…
The soldiers on the Osiris, after getting up at 7 o'clock every day, had to run around the main passage in the ship, and then go to the hangar to do a hundred push-ups, and then go to their respective posts to work.
For a professional soldier, this training is not a lot, but for Lin Ao it is hell.
Not long after running, he felt that the world was spinning, and he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't see other trainers in front of him. He tried to slip away while people were not looking, but he didn't have the chance, because the children of the refugees were all following him, laughing at him as they ran:
"Run, Lin'o, run! The last one is going to be spanked! ”
Lin Ao tried to chase the children away, but he couldn't say a word. I had to blush and hold on until the children couldn't catch up. Unfortunately, his lazy idea still couldn't be realized. Because from the second half onwards, someone checked every other paragraph, and Lin Ao didn't have a chance to be lazy at all.
"Huh... Hah..."
After another half an hour, Lin Ao finished the race, but he walked the last few dozen meters by holding on to the wall.
Sergeant Anton crossed his hands on his hips and stepped on his feet impatiently, he had been waiting for Lin Ao for a long time. When Lin Ao saw him, he immediately raised his hand and surrendered:
"Spare me, let me rest! Ahem! ”
"The bad news is that you can't rest for a minute, the good news is that you save your push-ups for a while and then do them, follow me!"
"Is that good news?"
Anton walked in front and asked Lin Ao to follow him, and after walking a few steps, he watched Lin Ao slow down, and simply dragged Lin Ao to the cockpit of the second plane.
"The AI said it was going to train you to drive."
As soon as he saw the driver's seat, Lin Ao sat on it without Anton saying that Lin Ao felt that the leather seats were so comfortable and felt that he was alive again.
Anton also wanted to come in, but the hatch closed with a "snap", and no matter how Anton banged and shouted outside, he wouldn't open it.
"Hello, Lin Ao, remember what I and this machine are called?" The AI spoke.
"Uh... Think about it... It's called dragging... Thoth? ”
"Uh-huh, where's this mech?"
"Machine two?"
"That's right, this machine also has a name called 'Wormda', as a driver, you better remember it too."
"Hey Toth, I'm so tired, can you let me rest first?"
"Yes, but you'll need to watch the tutorial video first. Then, as the pilot of the second machine, I will tell you all the armament of the machine, but you don't need to tell the people outside, is it white? ”
Lin Ao nodded.
"Very good, I hope you can make a noise next time you say yes, I want to see you nod and need to go through a lot of backstage permissions, you humans don't know how troublesome it is..."
…
About an hour later, the hatch of the No. 2 machine opened again, and Lin Ao saw a technician using an instrument to inspect the outer armor of the No. 2 machine, and Lin Ao greeted him.
"Hello, do you know where Sergeant Anton went?"
"Oh, it's okay to call me Armstrong, it's okay to call me Old Ah, and I'll be responsible for the maintenance of this machine in the future. As for Anton, he was just turned away and is angry now, so you better be careful. ”
"I didn't close the door!" Lin Ao screamed.
"He knows." Armstrong shrugged.
Sergeant Anton was turned away by an AI and poured his anger out on the other soldiers, and all the soldiers who had just done push-ups and were lazy were punished by him for another 100 strokes.
When Lin Ao saw this, he didn't dare to go over to greet him, but Sergeant Anton saw him first.
"You!" He pointed at Lin Ao and said, "Let Old Jack teach you how to fight in short combat!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a wooden knife with a strip of cloth was thrown at Lin Ao, but Lin Ao almost didn't catch it. And when he caught it, he found that the weight of this wooden knife was really not light.
A black man in his 30s greeted him with a wooden knife: "Hey boy, I'm Jack, the captain of Team B of the humanoid weapon, you can call me Old Jack, because I'm a few years older than most of the people on this ship, let's compare!" ”
"Gestures? With such a heavy wooden knife? Wouldn't it hurt to be hit! ”
"Don't be beaten if you're afraid of pain!"
Old Jack swung his wooden knife and struck Lin Ao in the left upper arm with an upper slash, so painful that he covered his upper arm and angrily scolded Old Jack for being despicable.
"Meanness can keep you alive, I was still holding back my strength just now."
Old Jack stabbed a few more times, Lin Ao was tired of coping, so he could only defend passively, and Old Jack's strength shook Lin Ao's practice to hold the handle of the knife hard.
"Attack! Offensive! Anton spurred on from the sidelines.
Lin Ao suddenly remembered that he had just seen a swordsmanship on the second machine, he followed the horse, let the tip of the knife point to the ground, and when Old Jack swung the knife, he suddenly raised the blade and stabbed the tip of the knife upward.
The knife almost stabbed Old Jack in the chest, but Old Jack didn't stop his movements, and slashed Lin Ao's wooden knife off his hand.
"That trick just now is 'fool's'? Not bad, but your strength is too small. ”
"No, I can't move!"
The thick wooden knife was wielded more effortlessly than expected, and Lin Ao sat down on the ground, and Old Jack kicked the fallen wooden knife into his hand, so that Lin Ao could only force the knife to fight again.
"It's to the Caspian Sea!"
Someone cheered excitedly.
The Osiris's hangar has no windows, but it can be seen through several screens. Everyone is a cosmic inhabitant, and they have only heard of the famous mountains and rivers on the earth, but have never seen them. So they stopped what they were doing and gathered in front of the screen to enjoy the view of the Caspian Sea.
Although the Caspian Sea is called "sea", it is actually an inland saltwater lake. Unlike the desert scenes seen before, there is still a lot of vegetation around the Caspian Sea.
Lin Ao and Old Jack also stopped training and began to enjoy the scenery of the Caspian Sea, which was also the first time Lin Ao had seen such a large "sea" since he could remember.
"Bashar, did they come here to fetch water before?" Lin Ao muttered to himself.
Old Jack shook his head: "I don't know who you're talking about, but it's all salt water, you can't drink it." ”
"Through the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountains, we are on Europe!" It was said.
"I'm getting farther and farther away from the canyon..."
Thinking of this, Lin Ao remembered Hafi, who hadn't heard a word about Hafei in days...
