Chapter 62: Appearance

The official start of the class must wait for the guests to arrive, and the waiting time is by no means dull, with the appearance of heavyweights, the actual combat course has not yet started a wave of climax.

Imperial Finance Minister, Hawke, this guy can give people a sense of stinginess and cunning with a casual smile, the pomp is absolutely exaggerated, there are no less than 100 guards alone, in addition to holding the financial power of the empire, he himself is also the top ten richest people in the empire, in addition, he is also Sonny's uncle.

They were followed by four senators.

The president of the Supreme Court of the Imperial Capital, Anthony, is currently neutral, hard-working, is the object of competition from all forces, his term of office is less than two years, before that he must make a choice, otherwise the future is worrying, among the various factions, the Chen family's power is the strongest, it is undoubtedly the best choice, but unfortunately due to the successor, it is in a state of chaos, the form is still unclear, and the old fox is temporarily waiting.

"If you and Lu Lingxue get married, he won't have to have a headache anymore." Le Ao had a little humor, noticed that it was out of place, and quickly changed the topic: "His granddaughter Jenny is currently studying at the Imperial Academy, and she is a well-known iceberg beauty, and it is said that she is interested in Sonny...... ”

The chief officer of the special forces stationed in the imperial capital, the descendant of the Hawke family.

Seven, all of them are people from enemy forces.

Chen Fang knows very well that it is impossible for a heavyweight to appear on the stage for no reason, this is a competition, both parties are coming for the actual battle, cheering for the children of the family, and the guests present are either people from their own forces or people from enemy forces, but he doesn't know that all this is caused by his grandfather's whims.

The small practical class was not supposed to make such a noise, but his grandfather was anxious to see him, and he temporarily decided to attend as a special guest in his busy schedule, and the Hawke family couldn't figure out the situation for a while, for fear that Sonny would be wronged, and he also rushed to escort him, and it was a farce that things had developed to this point.

It didn't take long for the backing of the golden lion to arrive.

Commander of the Imperial Star in Auckland.

Chief of Staff of the Sixth Special Mecha Regiment of the Empire.

Every time a big man appears, Lai Ao takes the trouble to introduce it, on the surface it is to talk eloquently, but in fact it is for Chen Fang, except for him, no one else needs this kind of introduction at all.

Director of the CIA, head of the Empire's secret services.

"I don't need to introduce this, your dad and I still know each other, he seems to have been promoted?" Chen Fang's memory has always been very good.

Leo nodded awkwardly.

The father of the golden lion was also caught off guard, and when he heard that the Hawke family had come to the Imperial Academy, he immediately thought that the poor son was alone, and hurriedly found the party members who were in place, because he was caught off guard, this was only a small part of the imperial capital.

Judging from the current market, the two sides are evenly matched. However, this is only the power of the Lai Ao family, and the power of the Chen family did not come forward, after all, there are no children of the Chen family in the top three.

The balance was destined to be short-lived, and the crowd boiled as an extended French motorhome slowly drove into the academy.

The extra-long body is unique in the imperial capital, and it is pure black, a symbol of the highest status, and the front of the car is decorated with the skull of a raging lion beast.

At a glance, it was my grandfather's car.

Although Chen Fang's grandfather was the secretary of state of the empire, he was adventurous by nature, he liked to hunt, and showed off his trophies, of course, his favorite was always his grandson, who was equally adventurous and smelly with him, which was no secret, but no one dared to say it.

The car door opened, and the tall body appeared in the field of vision, standing like steel bars inserted into the ground, without the slightest hint of old age, which made people involuntarily think of the rock-solid hegemony of the empire.

By my grandfather's side, there is a peerless beauty who has bright eyes like morning stars, like the awe-inspiring temperament of a goddess, but in the blink of an eye, it can make people completely lost.

Surrounded by the Secretary of State, surrounded by many media, she was still able to take it at ease and show no stage fright.

The crowd began to talk about it, speculating about the origin of the mysterious woman, the suspense did not last long, and the one who could be so beautiful was none other than the chief beauty of the empire, and there was no second possibility.

"She's ...... Lu Lingxue? "The golden lion was a little speechless.

"You haven't seen it before?" Chen Fang had never seen the legendary fiancée before, and he was puzzled at the moment.

A fellow party member looked at Chen Fang with the eyes of a prehistoric animal: "You don't even know this? Lu Lingxue has always worn a mask,

Few people have seen her in person, and this is the first time she has taken off her mask in public. Strange, why did she show up with the Secretary of State? ”

"Stupid! Lu Lingxue is the fiancée of the third son of the Chen family, the third son of the Chen family is the grandson of the Secretary of State, and Lu Lingxue is the granddaughter-in-law of the Secretary of State, what is strange about them appearing together? I have heard a rumor that Lu Lingxue is very likely to be the intended successor of the Secretary of State. Someone responded immediately.

Although the secretary of state is appointed by the head of state, everyone knows that the head of state who is re-elected every five years is just a puppet of the major power groups, or simply a member of these forces, not to mention the cooperation of the current secretary of state, it is easy to complete this replacement, what to do is nothing more than to make things look pretty, for example, to give ample time, let Lu Lingxue accumulate some capital first, so that it can be logical when the alternation is made, so as not to provoke criticism, in fact, Lu Lingxue is also a student of Imperial University, majoring in diplomacy, It is rumored that she is fluent in eleven languages, and if it weren't for her lack of seniority, not many people would have been surprised to become the third female secretary of state in the empire.

Even if they were all members of their own family, the issue was still too sensitive, and Leao snorted coldly, interrupting their discussion.

Whether the rumors are true or not is probably only known to the Secretary of State, but Leo knows much more about the inside story.

Whether out of love for Chen Fang, or for the interests of the family, the Secretary of State must support Chen Fang's ascension, if the successor of the Chen family is not his grandson, it is likely to lose his support, this alone is enough to make the Chen family worried, in addition, he chose the Lu family for his grandson who is also powerful in the empire to marry, and now, the Chen family dares to play tricks, and the Lu family has to turn their faces.

As secretary of state, the old man's diplomacy was convincing. This time, Lu Lingxue was specially brought with him, perhaps to show a gesture, on the one hand, to appease the Lu family, and on the other hand, to pressure the Chen family, and to increase the weight for his grandson's position.

It is also possible that he just wants to see his grandson and let his grandson meet his daughter-in-law, Lu Lingxue is not only the most beautiful woman in the empire, but also a well-known talented woman, needless to say, Chen Fang's excellence is needless to say, as soon as these two people meet, it is difficult not to spark, and others have to worry about the rest of the matter?

Not just anyone can guess what the Secretary of State is thinking, at least the lion is still too young.

It is not only his grandfather who supports Chen Fang, but also Lai Ao's father, as the head of the imperial spies, he is better at grasping the situation than anyone else, his appearance is because of Chen Fang, his son and Chen Fang are sworn friends, if it is replaced by another son of the Chen family, the good days of the Golden Lion family will come to an end.

Now, his family, his son, all pinned their trust on the wrist of the Secretary of State, and his demeanor was naturally respectful, and he even took the initiative to change seats and accompany him, and the people who did not know what was going on inevitably showed a puzzled look.

No matter how enthusiastic the students are, they still have to suppress their eagerness to try it and take the mecha modification course first.

"Before the course begins, let me ask a question, if you have mechas, please raise your hands." The instructor who taught the class was a majestic middle-aged officer, with a few medals hanging on his chest, shining in the hot sun, and it seemed miserable to be mixed up with the rank of lieutenant at this age.

Those who came to join in the fun, how much they were interested in mechas, the children of the nobility were not short of money, it was common to buy a mecha to play, almost all the boys raised their arms, Chen Fang did not dare to make an exception, even if it was a girl, half of them raised their arms......

All of them are rich people, the instructor raised a smile and continued, "Then, I believe you all have the experience of modifying mechs once. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, although the mecha sales office asked for the original machine by name, most of the students still liked to take matters into their own hands, personally select accessories and assemble them, and finally find a mecha maintenance engineer to input the driver program. It should be said that this is also a simple modification, Chen Fang couldn't help but be slightly moved, this big guy is quite humorous,

Waiting for the noise to come to an end, the instructor continued: "We all know that mecha is divided into modules such as the intelligent brain, built-in system, conduction system, rack, etc., even the rack is composed of five modules, and the list of mecha sales offices can only see these modules, and the original model is provided to you by the mecha maintainer as an option, who knows what the reason is?" ”

A student with curly blond hair raised his arm, and was immediately called to the podium: "Even if it is a classic mecha, it is impossible to suit everyone, not to mention that the engine and weapons are updated quickly, and the original configuration will be eliminated every once in a while, I think the so-called original machine should be simply understood as a rack, excluding the rest of the modules, of course, not including weapons." ”

There was an immediate exclamation in the crowd, mainly girls, this guy had a high reputation in the academy, and he was by no means inferior to the golden lion.

Leo took the opportunity to whisper: "He is Sonny, who is ranked second in the Imperial Academy, and often opposes me. ”

Chen Fang couldn't help frowning, and then muttered two words in his ear.

Lai Ao shouted bitterly: "No, how can I know how to modify mechas, you are so powerful, why don't you go out yourself?" ”

Chen Fang said in an indisputable tone: "To deal with a third-rate commodity like him, do you want me to come?" It's more than enough for you to come forward, I don't like to be in the limelight, modifying the mecha is to fight for knowledge, I'll teach you. ”

When the cheers stopped, the golden lion stepped forward, with Chen Fang's modified mercenary goggles on the bridge of his nose, and his usual smile on his face: "What do you think?" The original machine doesn't contain weapons in the first place, don't you know? ”

Not to be outdone, Sonny countered: "It turned out to be the third-ranked Leo classmate, I don't know who you listened to, the original machine does not contain weapons?" ”

Leo was still laughing: "I'm third? What's your ranking? ”

Sonny couldn't help but be stunned and hesitated, "Of course it's the second." ”

Leo continued to smile: "I haven't heard of any rankings, who ranks?" Are you platooned? ”

This is a double reed performance, Lai Ao is just through the transmission of goggles, Chen Fang's words are repeated, but unfortunately he is used to smiling, so that the effect of provocation is greatly reduced, if Chen Fang comes forward, the indifference that ignores everything can immediately make the other party out of control.

Even so, it can make Sonny feel very annoyed, it is just a ranking made by the students in private, although there is a virtual confrontation record as a reference, and it is widely known, but unfortunately it is not an official ranking, isn't it ridiculous to show it off? What's more, there is no evidence, and people who don't know must believe in Leo and think that the ranking is nothing.

In any case, Sonny refused to show weakness, and said fiercely: "What kind of ability can be regarded as a tongue, and I will let you know what is called second and what is called third?" ”

"Compete with others for the third, my goal is to be the first, you are not worthy of being my opponent." Le Ao's smile became stiff, and he almost cried, out of loyalty, he relayed every word of Chen Fang to the letter, but his heart was dripping blood, boss, do you know who is the number one? The brother will be played to death by you, what's more, how can I compete for the first place?

Anyone who knows the golden lion feels incomprehensible, he is like two people in the usual, he used to be humble and polite, but now he is empty-eyed, the most strange thing is that although he speaks rampantly, there is a smile on his face, and in the end it becomes a bitter smile, as if it is very painful, and the most bizarre thing is that Leo actually declared that he wants to compete for the first ......

The students in the audience suddenly became excited, the actual combat had not yet begun, the two sides were tense, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, let it develop, no need to wait for the actual combat of the mecha, the two sides directly pk, the instructor hurriedly broke the siege halfway.

"The two faculties had their own opinions, and the discussion was very heated and exciting. It is true that the original machine does not contain weapons, but a new model appeared, first tried in the military department, the weapon was added at that time, and then appeared in the public's field of vision, and people who did not know thought that the original machine was equipped with weapons, which did not belong to common sense, and it was not strange not to know. With such a rare knowledge, this classmate can also know that it is indeed not simple, so it is better for you to talk about your views on mecha modification. ”

The focus was successfully converted, and Lai Ao said slowly: "Mecha, as the name suggests, it is an armor composed of machinery, no matter how advanced it is, it is just a pair of armor, the decisive factor lies in people, everyone's quality and specialties are different, you should choose armor according to your own conditions, so that the assassination profession that is good at agility and running wears bulky metal armor, and it is difficult to even walk, not only can not play the defensive advantages of the heavy mecha, but even its own advantages are gone, and the same cannot let the warrior put on leather armor and charge." , that's looking for death. Mecha and armor are similar, both are limited by the human being, we should decide the type of mecha according to our own conditions, this is the first principle. ”

Hearing this, the instructor agreed: "This is a simple truth, but the vast majority of students who are obsessed with virtual confrontation tend to attack mechas, so it is worth mentioning here, so what about the second one?" ”

Leo seemed to be thinking, actually receiving the message from Chen Fang, and continued after a while: "Regarding mechas, I personally prefer the original machine, especially the classic model that has been tested by war and has endured for a long time. Although the rack is composed of five modules, they are a whole during research and development, and through precise calculations and millions or tens of millions of tests, they can achieve a perfect fit. ”

The instructor praised it: "That's right, although the special mecha regiment of the empire allows the modification of mechas, all the team members choose the original machine without exception, and this is the reason." Is there a third one? ”

Leo continued: "A mech should match the style of the mechmaster, but I think it takes a long time for the mech master to sharpen his style in battle, and it doesn't mean much to modify the mech until the style appears. ”

The instructor's expression changed: "This may not be, right?" No two mechs in the Imperial Special Forces Corps are exactly the same, even recruits, the purpose is to adapt to the characteristics of each person, each person is unique, relatively speaking, each mecha should also be unique. ”

Lai Ao smiled bitterly, and first added a sentence to himself, "I'm sorry, instructor." Then according to Chen Fang's original words: "The style is formed in countless battles, and it is fundamentally different from the characteristics." Recruits should undergo rigorous training, and the purpose of training is to change their characteristics. These characteristics belong to the defects of recruits in my opinion, and the defects should be corrected in time, not magnified by mechs. ”

In any case, it would be unwise to argue with the students, and the instructor was very tolerant and said, "Let's test the truth with practice." ”

In view of the presence of big people, they want to watch the actual combat and are not interested in teaching, so the instructor is very wise to end the game as soon as possible and quickly move on to the next link.

"The tiger father has no dogs, and the lion cub has become a climate now." In the stands, Chen Fang's grandfather laughed.

"I'm ashamed, what is he capable of? How dare you be so arrogant, with no one in your eyes, when I get home, I have to peel his skin! Lai Ao was shocked into a cold sweat, and said in his heart Is his son stupid to read, he is actually ashamed to say what he said about competing for the first place, maybe the Secretary of State has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't know the so-called ranking, as the head of the imperial spies, he is clear, while explaining, she quietly observed Lu Lingxue, and her expression didn't seem to change, which was a little relieved.

"It's not a bad thing for young people to be arrogant, it's all their own family, so don't let me see me. Well, there's still some time before the actual battle, so we might as well go and see him, help him cheer him up, maybe the little lion can really fight for you to be the first. "Obviously there is an ulterior motive, I want to take the opportunity to visit my grandson, the lion's father knows it, even so, he is still overjoyed, for the little lion, to get the favor of the Secretary of State, it is a great honor, compared to the ranking of the top three.

At the same time, he trembled again, his son got up and went to the sea, saying that he would fight for the first place, and if he lost, it would save trouble, and he would lose people, but if he won, he was destined to make the Secretary of State look gloomy, and he didn't know how to end it at that time.

Originally, he wanted to stall for time and settle the matter first, but the Secretary of State, who has always been known for his strength and indisputable speech, has already stood up at this moment, and he can only follow.
