"What? The war between the Union and the Empire began half a year ago? The fat man's eyes widened, and he stood up uncontrollably, and brought the dishes and bowls on the table to bump together, and the fragrant broth spilled on the table. Qiu Bo, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly cleaned up. The old housekeeper hadn't seen him for two years. I have aged a lot, and I have added a lot of wrinkles to my face.

He stayed here to take care of the other courtyard, in fact, just to wait for the fat man, in order to complete the eldest lady's explanation.

After tonight, it's time for him to leave. The old man's side also needs him to take care of it.

The fat man sat back down dumbfounded. The eyes are not focused. The news was too sudden. Even though he had anticipated the worst, he still didn't think about the full-scale outbreak of war.

After decades of peace, how can you say that you will fight?

The full-scale outbreak of the war means that the fifth pangalactic war has begun.

And unlike before, this war will not end without slaughtering one side.

The Pangalactic War has been fought four times, and neither side has the patience to fight endlessly. Then the fifth time is the rest.

That is to say, either the Galactic Alliance disintegrates and no longer exists. Either completely destroy the Roland Empire and kill all the Kaka clans.

You can only choose one or the other, and there is no buffer in between.

The fat man tried to pick up the chopsticks several times but couldn't pinch them, and his hands kept trembling uncontrollably.

This war will concern everyone. No one can hide in a hole like a rat and try to escape the fire of war.

"Then the eldest lady, are they all ......?"

"Yes, in the army. As soon as the news of the outbreak of war spread half a year ago, the eldest lady and most of the students of the Mecha Academy joined the army. ”

The fat man muttered distractedly, "Joined the army......"

And what about him? What did he do? Also going to join the army?

He has no good feelings for the military. Because there is a feeling that the mysterious death of his biological parents is inseparable from the military. The adoptive parents' family of four was murdered by Imperial agents, and they also had an inexplicable connection with the military. The bearded boss was attacked by the starship's main gun, which was also the work of a ghost in the military.

Although the war broke out, he still did not want to join the army.

For the sake of righteousness and serving the country, he is not so highly conscious. He just wants to protect the people around him.

But now, who can he protect?

The few friends who were the only ones went to war.

The fat man was a little confused for a moment. I can't see the road ahead clearly, and I don't have a goal.

The master taught himself for two years. It can be said that the main subjects he studied were all related to war, and they were all military skills. When the master taught him, he trained him as a soldier.

"Young Master Tang, before the eldest lady leaves, I have something to tell you."

The fat man nodded.

Qiu Bo said, "The eldest lady asked you to go to her and say that she took Qiuqiu away. ”

The fat man's mouth instantly opened into an "O" shape. She actually took the ball away!

This trick is ruthless! It's so ruthless!

So far, "Iron Blood" has been a plug-in program to temporarily control the main computer. And the real master computer has been in a state of self-lockdown. If you want to return to its heyday and find out the true origin of this mech, you must unblock his self-blockade. The super-intelligent program of Qiuqiu is an indispensable and important part.

But the eldest lady actually took Qiuqiu away, could she not know the prophet?

But either way, the ball has to be recovered.

The problem is that there are no communication channels for the military. Where did he go to inquire about the current whereabouts of the eldest lady?

To casually go to the street to inquire about the whereabouts of active duty soldiers is purely uncomfortable.

"Uncle Qiu, where is there a place to recruit now?"

"Your academy has a recruiting office." At this point, Uncle Qiu paused and said, "Young Master Tang, if you can find the eldest lady, I hope you can take good care of her." ”

"Hmm...... I tried my best. "Let's not say that you won't be able to find it for a while, even if you find out the news. The troops to which they belong are different, and they can't do anything if they want to take care of them. Besides, with the appearance and talent of the eldest lady, it is estimated that there are countless people who want to rush to take care of her.

"Uncle, I need something, see if you can help."

"Okay, you make a list for me."

……

In the next three days, the fat man completely modified the "Iron and Blood Duke".

The inside remains the same, and the outside is equipped with camouflaged protective armor. The body has become a little bloated, but it is more powerful, and it has been sprayed with a layer of black paint, and now it looks like the "Iron Cavalry" produced by the military five years ago.

Because the appearance of the "Iron Duke" is too unusual. Once it appears in front of the world, it will definitely cause a sensation.

And the fat man plans to take him directly to the conscription office to sign up. If you don't want to attract attention, the more low-key the better.

After breakfast on the morning of the fourth day, Qiu Bo left the courtyard in the care of two elderly couples. He drove to the northern suburbs of the airport, preparing to leave the planet Marfa. Before parting, he repeatedly told the fat man that if he met the eldest lady, he must take good care of her. In the tone of his speech, he didn't mind overstepping his identity at all, and there was a kind of posture of holding a girl, which made the fat man very uncomfortable.

Qiu Bo prepared very well, and deliberately left a long heavy truck for the fat man, in order to check in his mecha.

The truck driver is also an elderly child in the family. After sending the fat man to the place, he was in charge of driving the car back.

The driver is in his forties and is a very talkative person. Along the way, the fat man heard a lot from him about the current situation in the alliance.

Because these news are rolled every day, and the Internet is also overwhelming. The people of the alliance almost knew that only the fat man was an outsider, and he looked confused. My eyes are black, and I don't know anything.

The situation is bad. At the beginning of the war, when the alliance was defenseless, the imperial army concentrated hundreds of thousands of warships, through four space jump points, broke through the hinterland of the alliance in one fell swoop, and used blitzkrieg to occupy hundreds of resource stars and immigration stars in the two major star fields in a devastating way. Tens of millions of casualties were caused in a single day.

When the alliance's supreme command got the news, more than half of the star fields controlled by the alliance had fallen into the hands of the enemy, especially the entire southwest star field, which was almost destroyed.

Because the Southwest Star Domain is the concentration of the Alliance's heavy industry, there must be no loss here. On the one hand, the telegram ordered all the remnants of the Southwest Star Domain to hold on to the spot and wait for reinforcements. On the other hand, the 1st, 4th, and 12th Army Corps, led by Admiral Plantagenet Mingham, were dispatched to the aid of the 1st, 4th, and 12th Army Corps.

At this time, the Imperial side also launched a frontal attack from the Norton Line, which is at the junction of the two sides.

As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, they entered a tragic state. Divisional units are usually wiped out in less than five hours. Both the Union and the Empire suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for the critical moment, the Alliance Academy of Sciences also broke through the key technology of the space jump point, sent a large number of fleet clusters to the rear of the Imperial Army, directly controlled the airspace of the Nord Defense Line and the Ward Star Field, and approached the Beran Star where the second largest city in the empire, Saint-Sis, was located. As a result, the empire had to send troops to intercept it. The Nord defense could be completely lost, and the consequences would be unimaginable. The alliance will completely lose the initiative on the battlefield and turn to a passive defensive posture.

At present, the Southwest Star Domain is in a state of confrontation between the two sides, and more than half of the lost area has been recovered. The destroyed heavy industrial bases are also being restored one by one. The alliance has a temporary advantage. If the Imperial side does not send additional reinforcements, then it is only a matter of time before the 200,000 warships are cleaned up.

The crux of the matter lies in whether the Imperial side wants to completely cripple the Southwest Star Domain. In that case, it will also increase its troops through space jump points. At that time, the Southwest Star Domain will become a huge meat grinder, which will continue to deplete the vital forces of both sides. In the end, you have to fight for the bottom and see who can consume whom.

According to the analysis of military experts, this is unlikely. The Southwest Star Domain is the Alliance's operational area and occupies a natural geographical advantage. On the other hand, the empire is a long-distance march, with limited strategic space and little room for maneuver, and relying on space jump points alone is not a long-term solution, and logistics reserves may not be so perfect every time. And they have already lost the initial advantage of the blitzkrieg. It would be detrimental to the empire if it continued to be consumed for a long time. The morale of the army will also be unstable.

According to the latest military observers' explanations, the alliance has increased its troops to the southwest star field, and the attitude of protecting the southwest star field is obvious. The Imperial Army is afraid that it will withdraw in the near future.

"It's been a terrible fight in the past six months, right?"

"Miserable, quite miserable, it is said that the death toll has exceeded 50 million. Young Master Tang, with your size, even if you join the army, I'm afraid you won't be able to divide the front-line combat troops. There shouldn't be a problem with security. ”

"Who knows, when the bullet comes, you won't be able to tell who is fat and who is thin. None of us can stay out of the war. In the future, it will all depend on luck, and do it and cherish it. Uncle, take care, I hope there is a chance to meet again. ”

"Young Master Tang, take care of yourself. When you become a high-profile hero, don't forget to sign my autograph. ”

The fat man waved at him and rode the telescopic elevator back to the cockpit. There are many people like him who have come with private mechs to sign up for the army. When I was led to the storage place of the mecha, I saw nearly 100 mecha of various models. There are people around to take care of them.

There were many people gathered around the recruiting office, and a huge electronic screen erected next to it was showing images of reporters accompanying the army covering the front line. In the background is a blocking position, and in the distance black smoke billowed from it, and the remains of many destroyed Imperial multi-legged individual armor can be faintly seen.

The fat man was at the back of the long line. looked at the young faces in front of him, talked loudly, regarded the war as a playhouse, and dreamed of unrealistic heroes. They don't know how much they'll survive in the end. Maybe there will be a few heroes in it...... By the time we got to the fat guys, it was almost noon.

In charge of recruiting is a beautiful female lieutenant with a white face and a heroic posture. When she saw the fat man's figure, she was stunned, looking embarrassed to laugh but holding back, her face was slightly red, she pointed to the form next to her, and said, "Just fill in the form according to it." ”

The fat man let out an "oh" and picked up the pen to fill it in quickly. The female lieutenant picked it up and looked at it, pointed to a sturdy sergeant next to her and said to the fat man, "Follow him and report to the mechanic company." ”
