Shaposhnikov and Natalia walked side by side under the review stand in Red Star Square.

As the two men walked, they suddenly stopped, because the last step of the review stand was a little narrow, obviously not enough for the two of them to walk up at the same time.

After a moment of hesitation, Shaposhnikov took a slight step back and said with a slight smile: "Dear Natasha, please first!" ”

"It's okay, you better go first." Natalia said with a smirk.

But despite what she said, her body stood still, blocking the entrance to the stairs for a small part. In this way, if Shaposhnikov, who was wide and fat, wanted to go up, he would have to squeeze past her in a rude position.

Shaposhnikov did not squeeze, but smiled faintly and said: "No, ladies first, you should please first!" ”

Natalia didn't give in any longer, smiled and thanked her, and then lifted her feet up the last flight of steps.

A few seconds later, her image was the first to appear in front of the countless cameras under the Red Star Square.

The media, who had been waiting in the square for a long time, immediately began to broadcast enthusiastically: "Dear viewers and friends, the celebration of the recovery of M City is about to begin!" Now what we see on the reviewing stand is Natalia. Mikhailovna. Romanova, everyone must be no stranger to this beautiful girl. At the most critical moment of our great motherland, this girl who knew the righteousness of the country destroyed her family and generously donated all the assets of the Romanov family to help the poor refugees and carry out the great restoration movement. Dear friends, I have to say that today we were able to recover a large part of the territory, including M City, and this beautiful and kind girl really contributed a lot! ”

The camera zooms out, and Natalia is already in the center of the review stand. Hundreds of "onlookers" arranged in advance by the Romanov family immediately raised flowers and the flag of the R country and shouted hoarsely: "Natasha! Natasha! ”

Led by them, a tsunami-like cheer soon sounded throughout the Red Star Square: "Natasha! Natasha! ”

Shaposhnikov, who was standing next to Natalia, was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Natalia took his hand and let him raise it high with her.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, and intimately let the media take a close-up.

"General, will you say a few words?" Natalia looked at Shaposhnikov and smiled.

"Oh no, you better say it!" Shaposhnikov said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Now that almost all of the audience is Natalia's fans, it's a bit embarrassing for him to speak to other people's fans.

Natalia was not polite to him, and stepped forward into the microphone to start her speech: "Dear compatriots of country R, hello! ”

She had just finished her first sentence when she was interrupted by fierce applause and cheers from the Red Star Square, and it took a while for her to continue.

"Dear compatriots of country R, thank God that after the bloody battles of our heroic front-line soldiers, we have finally regained our great capital, City M! This is a day to be remembered forever, and it marks the successful rebirth of our great motherland after the most dangerous catastrophe in history! Dear compatriots, in the midst of this catastrophe, I have witnessed the strongest courage and indomitable spirit of the people of country R, so I firmly and thoroughly believe that after this rebirth, country R will usher in the greatest rejuvenation, and we will stand forever on this vast land as the most glorious and proud nation in the world! ”

Once again, her speech was interrupted by enthusiastic applause and cheers. Natalia took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears that overflowed from her eyes, calmed her emotions, and continued: "Dear compatriots, although we have recovered M City, the war continues! There is still a vast land and thousands of people waiting for us to liberate the country R! Dear compatriots, two centuries ago, it was on this Red Star Square that the most heroic martyrs of our country took part in a special military parade with impassioned steps, and then walked directly to the battlefield of the Great Patriotic War from here! Today, we will recreate this historical moment, and please cheer for the great and heroic soldiers of the country R! ”

The majestic military music sounded, and the parade of the Human Liberation Army appeared.

It was waves of heavily armed mechwarriors, lined up in neat columns, one square after another stepping through the square under the review stand. Rasputin held high a flag of R country, walked at the forefront of the team with his head held high, he was wearing a brand new R army uniform, and a pair of shiny R-style boots under his feet, looking extremely tall and handsome.

"Dear viewers, have you seen that?" The media reporter next to the Red Star Square said loudly into the microphone with an excited voice, "Now we are walking towards the combat team of the most elite 'Natasha' mecha brigade of the Human Liberation Army. Rasputin! He used to be Miss Natasha's personal bodyguard and one of the most advanced genius robots in the world, and at the most critical moment of his homeland, he took Miss Natasha's entrustment and expectations to the battlefield to resist the invaders without hesitation! He has made great achievements, killed hundreds of enemy mechs, and has twice won the Order of Hero of the R Country and the Order of the Red Star, so let's pay tribute to this great battle hero! ”

The crowd on Red Star Square frantically waved flowers and hats while shouting Rasputin's name. Rasputin looked up at the reviewing stand with triumph and found that his hostess was also looking at him and smiling.

Amid the roaring salute, the procession participating in the parade passed through the review stand one by one, boarded the armored personnel carrier at the end of the Red Star Square, and set off on a journey to the east.

Natalia and Shaposhnikov watched their backs go away, and then walked side by side off the reviewing stand.

"Your Excellency, great, this is a very successful ceremony!" Natalia said.

"Oh yes." Shaposhnikov nodded somewhat against his will.

It was indeed a very successful image show for the Romanovs, but for Shaposhnikov, it felt really bad. He has become a complete ornament today, an out-and-out puppet.

"Your Excellency, General, I think we should restore the functions of the government of country R as soon as possible." Natalia continued, "I suggest that we immediately proceed to convene a parliament to elect a new head of state!" ”

Shaposhnikov smiled and said: "Dear Natasha, I completely agree with you, and I have one more suggestion, given that it will take some time for the convening and discussion of the upper and lower levels of parliament, I suggest that it be up to you, Natalia. Miss Romanova - in the position of pro tempore president of country R! ”

"Oh, I don't dare to do this!" Natalia smiled and shook her head, "You are the leader of the Baath Party of Country R, so it is naturally more appropriate for you to be the interim president!" ”

Shaposhnikov sighed and said: "No, I'm old, dear Natasha, the future of country R is still in the hands of you young and promising people!" You are very smart and very politically minded, and I am sure that you will be able to take care of the people of country R! ”

As he said these words, he felt a pang of discomfort in his heart, because he had said enough against his will today.

Shaposhnikov didn't really want to give the supreme power of the R country to the eldest lady of the Romanov family, who was mercenary and proficient in the performing arts, but he couldn't help it. Now the other party not only controls the economic lifeline of country R, but also successfully controls public opinion, and even a considerable part of the country's military power is in her hands. Shaposhnikov knew that in the current situation, even if he was elected president of the upper country, he would be nothing more than a puppet at the mercy of others.

Shaposhnikov didn't want to be a puppet president in name only, and he preferred to withdraw from the political maelstrom so that he could still be quiet.

After so many years of ups and downs, Shaposhnikov is no longer the hot-blooded young man who is full of simplicity and beauty and takes the world as his own responsibility, he knows very well in his heart that the center of power has always been a paradise for liars and hooligans, so let this female hooligan slowly enjoy the fun.

Z country, Jingfu City.

Ansuna had just finished another beautiful hand-to-hand combat, cleanly taking out four enemy R35 battle droids and leading her men to crush another enemy charge.

So far, she has killed nearly a hundred enemy mecha warriors on the battlefield in Jingfu City.

It is said that in the past, when airplanes were still dominating the battlefield, the elite of those human pilots had a tradition of painting a mark on their fuselage every time they shot down an enemy plane, and now the mecha units of many countries still retain this ancient tradition, marking the surface of the body of the military mecha with its killing record. However, Ansuna can't learn this set, because if she had to draw a star on her body every time she killed an enemy, she probably wouldn't be able to draw the skin all over her body.

So Ansuna decided to count in hundreds, and when she killed the hundredth enemy, she was going to tattoo a five-pointed star on her chest.

The battle is so fierce now, it is estimated that her first hundred kills will be reached soon, and maybe after the battle of Jingfu is over, she will be able to tattoo two stars.

With this in mind, Ansuna inserted the Blade of Death into her scabbard and walked back to her position. Maybe the enemy will soon launch the next charge, and she needs to take a break and prepare for the next round of battle.

But as soon as she returned to her position, she actually ran into Medusa.

"Ansuna, how many mobile units do you have in your hands now?" Medusa asked before she could speak.

"There are three brigades, but two of them are militia brigades." Ansuna replied.

The so-called militia brigade refers to the troops temporarily mobilized by the empire to participate in the battle for this decisive battle in Beijing. Most of these troops are cobbled together from some civilian robots with relatively poor performance, and their combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of the Empire's regular army, and they can only play the role of cannon fodder that is better than nothing.

In other words, there are not many reserves left in the Guards Corps under Ansuna that can really fight.

"Gather them together and come with me!" Medusa ordered.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Ansuna asked.

Medusa said: "Real Madrid Boulevard! The human army has intervened, dividing our entire battlefield into two sections, and they will definitely concentrate their forces to attack the Aurora Legion in Dongcheng District, we must recapture this position immediately, otherwise Aurora's Legion is at risk of being surrounded by them! ”

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to take everyone with you?" Ansuna said with some hesitation, "This is all the strategic reserves that I still have in my hands now!" ”

"Nonsense, I know this very well!" Medusa said, "Now is the time to use the Strategic Reserve!" I estimate that the enemy has already pressed on all fronts, and if we can't recapture the strategic point of Real Madrid in time, once they complete the encirclement of the Aurora army, then we will lose this battle! ”

Ansuna nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!" ”
