Liu Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, which galaxy does your corps belong to?" ”

Kobayashi said: "It's no wonder, most people haven't heard of it, but our corps does exist." ”

"Ever existed? So now there is no more of this corps? ”

"That's right, it was disbanded three years ago, so the captain and we will retire from the army."

Liu Yi nodded and said, "I see...... No wonder Shangguan came to Yaqiu. Can you elaborate on this group of ghosts? ”

Xiao Lin looked at the steel cannon, and the steel cannon said: "Let's say, anyway, now that the legion has been disbanded, it's not an ulterior secret." ”

"Ulterior secrets?" Liu Yi said in his heart, "Could it be that this corps is doing all confidential missions?" ”

Xiao Lin listened to the words of the steel cannon and said, "That's right, then I'll talk about it." The original name of our corps was not actually called the Ghost Regiment, but the Border Security Force, which was under the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial General Headquarters. ”

"Border Security Forces? Isn't it specifically responsible for patrolling the border? Liu Yi asked curiously.

Xiao Lin and Steel Cannon both shook their heads, and Xiao Lin explained: "The one you are talking about is the border guard, responsible for patrolling the border of the empire, and we are the border security force, and the two are not the same. ”

"Oh, that's me confusing."

"Actually, it's not surprising, many people can't tell the difference, after all, the names all sound similar." Kobayashi said: "Actually, the real task of our unit is to deal with those armed forces that do not obey the empire, especially to behead and assassinate their leaders, and there are many tasks like this. ”

"So you're assassins?"

"It can't be said that we often have large-scale exchanges of fire with these forces, almost every three days, every five days, and there are very few times in the year when there is no war." Kobayashi said.

Steel Cannon added: "Our ghost regiment is the most combat-effective regiment in the border security forces, and I am definitely not bragging. ”

Liu Yi nodded in agreement, and made a gesture for the two to continue.

Xiao Lin had already opened the conversation box at this time, and he said endlessly: "The reason why our ghost regiment can get such a nickname is because our combat effectiveness is very strong, and we beat the enemy to the ground. When it comes to us, they all say that our corps is like a group of ghosts, and they can take the lives of others at some point. ”

When Xiao Lin said this, there was a smug and proud look on his face, and the steel cannon on the side was the same.

Liu Yi had been observing these two people, and seeing that they were sincerely proud of the Ghost Regiment, he couldn't help but guess in his heart that this unit must have had outstanding achievements at the beginning, but unfortunately it was not known to the world.

"Who are you fighting against? Was the war fiercely fought? Liu Yi asked.

"It's all people who don't obey the empire, although these people don't have the support of the state, but some of them are really good at fighting, even if it's our ghost regiment, the casualty rate is very high, not to mention other troops."

Although Liu Yi knew that there were still many forces in the universe that did not belong to the Xinghan Empire, he didn't expect that there would be wars between them all the time, and these were rarely mentioned in the media.

Since mankind entered the era of interstellar colonization, there have been many planets colonized by humans, but the scope of the empire is many, but not all colonies are subject to the rule of the empire.

There are many colonies that refuse to join the Empire, some of them are still able to live in harmony with the Empire, while others have been fighting with the Empire for a long time.

"The biggest difference between us and the Border Patrol Force is that they are only responsible for securing the border, while we often go deep into the hinterland of the other side and carry out some extremely dangerous missions." Said the steel cannon.

"That's right, many of the missions we carry out have a high level of secrecy, so the more low-key the better, and it's normal not to know about our existence." Xiao Lin followed.

Liu Yi now understood why Shangguanqi was reluctant to mention the past, presumably there were a lot of secrets involved, and saying it would only add unnecessary trouble to himself. Although these are all in the past, there are some things that are better to say less.

"You fought so bravely, why did the unit disband later?" Liu Yi asked.

Speaking of this, I saw that Xiao Lin and Steel Cannon both lowered their heads, and neither seemed to want to think about it again.

Seeing this, Liu Yi only said that they had something unspeakable, so he said: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, I haven't asked." ”

Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, the steel cannon had a more straightforward personality, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that this matter is sad to say." ”

"What does that mean?" Liu Yi asked.

"If you want to talk about our ghost group, in terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid that it is also one of the best in the entire emperor team, even compared with those ace special forces, we are not afraid at all!" As he spoke, the steel cannon's voice gradually increased a lot.

"It's a pity that because we fought too hard, it aroused the jealousy of other people, so some people spread rumors, saying that we colluded with foreign enemies and killed innocents indiscriminately, and demanded an investigation into our ghost group."

"What about the results of the investigation?" Liu Yi asked with concern.

Xiao Lin interjected: "Hmph! Those people were originally intentionally framed, and the people sent to investigate were also their gang, but they naturally said that we colluded with foreign enemies and were traitors to the empire, so they ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Lin's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he couldn't say any more.

Seeing that Xiao Lin was so sad that he couldn't speak, the steel cannon took over the conversation and said angrily: "They began to purge us, arrested hundreds of us at once, and tortured us in various ways, so that we could admit the crime of traitors, and I don't know how many people were tortured to death!" ”

"Was Shangguan also arrested for investigation?" Liu Yi asked.

Xiao Lin nodded, and replied with tears in his eyes: "This is natural, captain, as one of the squadron leaders, he must have also been investigated, as for what torture he suffered, he refused to say, and we don't want to ask him." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi only felt a chill down his spine, and if he thought about it carefully, he could guess that Shangguanqi must have been tortured a lot at that time, and those who could survive would have to lose a few layers of skin.

"What happened? How did you get released? ”

Steel Cannon said angrily: "Originally, they wanted to execute all of us secretly, but later because of the sadness of other people's rabbits and foxes, they all began to make trouble, and the military high-level saw that the situation was serious, so they could only agree to let us go, but some high-ranking officers were still secretly escorted back to the imperial capital, as for whether they survived later, no one knows." ”

After listening to Xiao Lin and the description of the steel cannon, the mystery in Liu Yi's heart was finally solved, and he said secretly: "No wonder Shangguan maintains a distant attitude towards the official and military of the empire, it turns out that such a thing has happened before, so it's no wonder that he can't be blamed." ”

Kobayashi continued: "Later, the army gave each of us a severance pay, and we were sent away like this. The brothers were disheartened, and basically left the army, went back to their own homes, and made their own living. I was from the same place as the steel cannon, and after I went back, I first worked as a maintenance worker, and then it happened that the Star Alliance recruited test pilots, and we were admitted together, so we became a member of the Star Alliance. ”

Steel Cannon said: "If we hadn't come to Yaqiu to participate in the acceptance of the new prototype this time, we wouldn't have met the captain, which is really a coincidence." ”

Liu Yi also deeply agreed with this, the universe is so big, and the empire has so many colonies, it can't but be said to be a very coincidence that Shangguan Qi and his former comrades-in-arms can meet.

The three chatted for a while, and Liu Yi saw that the two were already a little tired, so he took the initiative to get up and say goodbye, so that the two could rest.

Leaving the place where the two lived, Liu Yi recalled the content of the chat just now, and only felt that it was difficult to calm down.

"Shangguan is really not easy, and it is a loss that he can survive, if it were me, I might have succumbed a long time ago......" Liu Yi thought silently in his heart, and unconsciously came to the door of Tang Jie's office.

The lights were still on in Tang Jie's office, obviously she was still working, Liu Yixin said: "Don't tell her about Shangguan, unless Shangguan himself is willing, it's always not good to tell others everywhere." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yi turned around and was about to leave, but the door of the office suddenly opened, Tang Jie poked his head out of the crack in the door, and said with a smile: "Why are you here and leaving?" Come on in and tell me what you asked. ”

Liu Yi shirked and said: "It's not too early, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Liu Yi turned around and was about to leave, but Tang Jie grabbed the back of his clothes and pulled hard, almost dragging Liu Yi to the ground.

"Hey! Why are you so savage, where is a bit of a lady look! Liu Yi exclaimed.

"What a lady, don't want to leave if you don't tell you what you heard!" Tang Jie said, and pulled Liu Yi into the office.

Liu Yi had no choice but to follow Tang Jie to the office and sit down, Tang Jie clasped his hands and stared at Liu Yi condescendingly, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"Tell me, what did you hear?"

"Your curiosity is too heavy, these things have nothing to do with you, you don't need to know so much." Liu Yi replied.

"Of course I want to know that Shangguanqi is now the test flight director of Jieyi Military Industry, and I must understand his situation clearly!"

"What does this have to do with his work? You're obviously just too gossipy. ”

"You don't understand this, as the number one test pilot of this company, his mental and physical health is directly related to our mecha design, if you don't figure these out, in case there is a problem with our products in the future, it will be a big trouble." Tang Jie said eloquently.

Liu Yi listened to Tang Jie's words, although there seemed to be some truth on the surface, but she always felt that it was too far-fetched, no matter how she thought about it, it was her curiosity, but she forcibly pulled it to work.

"I'll think about it again and I'll get back to you tomorrow." Liu Yi said and stood up.
