1. Where the responsibilities lie

After a while, Huo Chenggong woke up from the dream, he rubbed his temples that were aching, raised his wrist blankly and looked at the terminal, the time was three o'clock in the morning, but Huo Chenggong could no longer sleep, he sat on the bed in a daze for a while and then got up, and then walked to the door.

He opened the recuperation cabin and drilled in, replenished his body energy, and washed up, before he knew it, it was already dawn.

Due to the angle of the Xuchang star to the earth's axis of the star, the daylight time in the area where the national defense is located is relatively long, the average annual illumination here is 9.6 hours, and the longest time in summer can even reach 15 hours.

So although it was still early, it was already clear outside.

After Huo Chenggong left an order on the command platform, he asked the guards on duty for a car, and then drove towards the arsenal in the distance, and not long after, Thunder No. 1 stood up, and under his drive, entered the martial arts arena.

Two hours later, Dai Anlan and the others woke up, only to find that the master chief had gone to training, a group of miscellaneous fish looked at the order that made them assemble by themselves, and then looked at the Thunder No. 1 on the observation interface where it was tumbling and rolling, Wu Anjun couldn't help but complain: "No wonder he is stronger than us, he doesn't sleep every day." ”

"Don't you see that this is the first time, don't make excuses if you're weak."

Dai Anlan scolded him angrily, Dai Anlan, who had already established the second authoritative position, had always looked down on him psychologically, and Wu Anjun gradually became accustomed to this.

As soon as he scolded him, Wu Anjun pouted: "Let's go." ”

Since the non-commissioned officer chief was not there, and Chief Tian didn't know where he went, then the adjutant and the counselor chief were the leaders, and the 163 cadets immediately headed for the arsenal, and ten minutes later, dozens of thunderbolts were already standing in the exercise area.

But they were surprised to find that the thunder of the master chief did not move, and in the channel, Dai Anlan couldn't help but shout: "Sir? ”

Thunder One waved his hand: "You train yourself." ”

Huo Chenggong continued to ponder there, he was thinking about a problem that he had neglected before, in his opinion, there was no doubt that Thunder would win the bid, but with Thunder's participation, it would be very easy for Thunder's driving system to cease to be a secret.

In fact, Thunder is superior to other mechas.

Although this is a secret he stole from his memory, not a true original, Huo Chenggong never wants such an achievement to be announced to the public in advance, too long a peace makes the exchange of military products between the federations like a business party, and the other party with real premeditation will definitely not let go of the thunder.

And if we put the individual combat power of the enemy and us at the same level in the future, how much more sacrifice will it take?

Huo Chenggong was distressed by this, he didn't know when he thought about it, maybe it was the will of heaven, the leader of Europa in the distance had been moved by the combat power shown by the thunder.

Before meeting Huo Chenggong in person, Heinrich had already concluded that the mecha would definitely occupy an important position in the combat power of the combination of the mecha and that outstanding boy, because with his well-informed status, he would never believe that a sixteen-year-old boy could exert such combat power only by his own ability.

He thinks it will never be possible.

Van der Vaart also agreed with him, and after emphasizing once again that Huo was indeed excellent, Van der Vaart said: "The national defense has hidden the secret of this mecha very deeply, and I have a feeling about this, and in the friendly contract signed with the national defense, the national defense avoids talking about this armor." ”

"I'll figure it out." Heinrich said.

Van der Vaart nodded happily, he really didn't want to deceive the trash fish, of course, he thought in his heart that the cunning little trash fish might not be easy to deceive, and he couldn't resist the temptation of the mecha, so it would be better for Hainrich to come forward.

He didn't go to ask Heinrich what he was going to do, and then he talked to Heinrich again about the reform of the management structure of national defense, and Van der Vaart commented on the reform of the management structure of national defense: "It is very effective. ”

"The mechanism is one thing, the quality of the individual is also another aspect, the top level of national defense is indeed very courageous, they are the national defense academy, the second tier of the military academy, directly as a regular army to compile, effective retro management, with an extremely radical belief, they are the same people as me."

Van der Vaart smiled dumbly, an old friend who had commanded the army on the Cossack front for many years, and who had always admired radicals, he said: "There are many turmoil in Asia, and there is no way for Xu's descendants to do this. ”

But Heinrich shook his head: "No, the smell of decay has permeated the sea of stars, even if there are no changes, this kind of person will stand out sooner or later, I personally admire them, but as the Minister of Operations of Europa, I am worried about their growth." ”

"And Sanchester's reforms?"

"You are fully responsible, if there are different voices in the executive committee, I will help you solve it."

Heinrich's usual tough and direct dictatorship, which he described as a settlement, gave Van der Vaart a disgruntled look: "I'd better do it." ”

"That's too much delay." Heinrich said.

He was most dissatisfied with the aspect of his only friend, but Heinrich also knew that as a subordinate Van der Vaart was impeccable, but he needed a friend, and his subordinates were enough, so in the end Hainrich reluctantly gave in, and he said stupidly: "You go, I don't care." ”

"School affairs are my business." Van der Vaart shouted.

Heinrich looked at him helplessly, meaning that I had already given in, what else do you want me to do, Van der Vaart himself was embarrassed, he smiled awkwardly: "When will you get the secret of the thunder?" ”

"It should be soon." Heinrich said.

He turned slightly, and looked out the window, and in the light of the star called the Heart of Philiplet, the handsome Sanchester boy was still standing upright. Rommel, Heinrich whispered to himself, motioned for Sterling, who was also standing there and watching him, to invite him in.

Rommel followed Sterling into the room.

Looking at him, Heinrich said solemnly: "I have read what the school has said about you, and heard about your ambitions, so can you do all that, young man." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Minister." Rommel exclaimed that he was determined to become a Master Chief and start a new history in Sanchester, and he was full of confidence.

Although he had had a brief conversation with Heinrich before, Rommel still felt a burst of excitement when he looked at Heinrich's light gray eyes at this moment, if Huo could still be called a legend around him, maybe he could surpass it.

This leader is the pride of the whole of Europa.

Rommel has already been able to tell the story of Heinrich and his loyal adjutants under the propaganda of Heinrich's political partner, the Socialist Party led by Gore.

After entering the military academy, Rommel admired the tough Heinrich, and now witnessing his majesty, the young man looked excitedly at the long-admired figure, trying to calm down but his heart was beating wildly.

And Heinrich was also very satisfied with him, this young man had more aura than Sterling, looking at the beautiful Rommel who had fallen into the mortal world, Heinrich smiled, and he said kindly: "Okay, I believe you can do it." ”

Rommel seemed to hear the intimacy in his words, and Rommel was a little depressed, why did he always treat me like a child, almost every wonderful person is like this, so he shouted: "I will definitely be able to do it in the future." ”

Sterling on the side couldn't help but laugh, and then he stepped back with Rommel, and after they left, Heinrich looked at Van der Vaart: "His paranoia is very similar to yours." ”

"Paranoia about the cause is a virtue." Van der Vaart glared at his superiors dissatisfied.

Leave him speechless, and eventually discuss with him the concrete steps of Sanchester's reforms.

Both of them are very dissatisfied with the modern society that has been called the Golden Age, but in fact, people are floating and eating nothing.

After going abroad, Van der Vaart saw that a breath of fresh air had been cultivated in defence and began to permeate Asia, so he brought it back to Sanchester, hoping that his friends with strong political aspirations would carry it forward.

So when it comes to that, they have a lot of language in common.

And when they were talking, the miscellaneous fish in the Xuchang Planetary Defense Aircraft Yard of the distant Asian Federation seemed to have found a way.

He is now driving the mecha out of the martial arts arena, and at the same time, Huo Chenggong is calling Tian Boguang, who has taken up the new official to take up the three fires, and today Tian Boguang will get up after the miscellaneous fish, he has already arranged his own day, everything can be handed over to the miscellaneous fish in the morning, and he will come to supervise in the afternoon.

Tian Boguang was carefully reviewing the actual combat training reports of each grade over the years, and the boring numbers made him dizzy, but he was still insisting, at this time his terminal rang, and after connecting it, Tian Boguang asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you." ”

"I have something to report to Chief Dai."

"Then what are you looking for me?" Tian Boguang was very annoyed, Huo Chenggong was also annoyed, what kind of tone, Huo Chenggong complained: "Aren't you my direct superior, it is a taboo in the army to report beyond the ranks, and I respect the commander, isn't it good." ”

"Trash fish." Tian Boguang was stunned for a moment and then shouted excitedly: "Put your mind on the right path." ”

Huo Chenggong decided, he immediately turned off the terminal, drove the mecha towards the teaching building two hundred kilometers away, he decided to clean up this nervous guy fiercely.

So the thunder was as fast as lightning towards the National Defense Building.

The national defense alarm system quickly reminded the guards on duty that a mecha was approaching, a mecha was approaching, and before the guards questioned, Huo Chenggong reported: "Thunder No. 1 is conducting long-distance training and applying for release." ”

“3016-1? Huo Chenggong and let go. ”

The commander on duty waved his hand directly, joking, even if the miscellaneous fish demolished the national defense building, the principal would probably applaud, what kind of brain-dead would do it against this miscellaneous fish, let it go.

All the way to the green light, the thunder is advancing.

Dai Zhenduo didn't know anything about this, Dai Zhenduo was preparing for the recent in-depth reform of national defense, and Tian Boguang, as the second adjutant, had formulated a feasible plan, but Tian Boguang was not responsible for implementing the plan.

So he discussed the specific process with Li Ben without distraction, and after discussing for a while, Dai Zhenduo said to Li Ben: "Inform Tian Boguang of this matter and see what his opinion is." ”

"Yes." Li Ben was going to contact Tian Boguang.

"No need, Tian Boguang is in the office." Dai Zhenduo said, when he went to work in the morning, he saw Tian Boguang busy in the new office assigned to him, that kid is good, Dai Zhenduo thought with a smile and pressed the communication.

But when the phone was connected, a sentence came from the microphone: "What do you want?" ”

Then the guy said, "Hey, I'm Tian Boguang." ”

Are you angry, don't you know the phone number in the chief's office, Dai Zhenduo saw Li Ben smiling and walked out of the window, he lowered his head and scolded: "Who are you arguing with." ”

And Li Ben, who was standing in front of the window, changed his face at this time, because he saw a mecha below, and then he heard Dai Zhenduo saying, "Oh, Huo Chenggong." ”

"Yes, sir, he wants to see you."

Tian Boguang said, secretly smug in his heart at the same time, haha, it doesn't matter if I quarrel with the little miscellaneous fish, the principal doesn't care, and I can bully and bully the little miscellaneous fish Commander doesn't mind.

Dai Zhenduo was very strange: "Yes, then let him come, you will come too." ”

After putting down the phone, he saw Li Ben's strange face, he walked over in wonder and saw that his head had exploded, the little miscellaneous fish had traveled 200 kilometers to come here, did the group of bastards in the logistics department dare not give him a car?

Dai Zhenduo immediately sank his face, Li Ben was startled, thinking that he was angry with Huo Chenggong's recklessness, so he hurriedly defended the miscellaneous fish: "It is estimated that Huo Chenggong wants to train, he is not a reckless person, sir, don't be angry." ”

"Huh?"

Dai Zhenduo's anger only decreased slightly after getting his erroneous explanation, but when the miscellaneous fish came in, Dai Zhenduo still asked Huo Chenggong first, and after learning that it was indeed his own decision, he forgot it.

And he didn't even ask why the miscellaneous fish didn't get authorization, so he dared to drive the mecha around, Liu Botao was so dangerous that he was also shot.

The chief's doting on the miscellaneous fish without any bottom line made Li Ben speechless, and Tian Boguang was very dissatisfied, Tian Boguang immediately raised this question in the name of managing the campus, but Dai Zhenduo ignored him and asked the miscellaneous fish directly what he wanted to say.

"Report to the principal, I'm very worried about the leak of Thunder's secret."

"Leak?"

"The leak after the success of the military purchase, the epoch-making mecha is to improve the combat power of the troops, but first to improve the combat power of the national defense department, I hope that the commander can pay attention to this, I think the losers of the bid will dig the secret of the thunder at all costs."

"You're here for this, this point of defense has been considered, so we don't mention Thunder in the treaty of friendship with Sanchester."

"I hope that the Thunder can be designated as a first-class secret weapon by the military department, and only equip a small number of troops before it is widely promoted, and I hope that the design drawings of the Thunder will not be made public, because there are no secrets in this world at all."

"What are you worried about?" Dai Zhenduo was strange, but he had to pay attention to the opinions of the miscellaneous fish.

There was silence in the room, but Huo Chenggong said his heart loudly: "Europa Sunchester Academy will definitely learn from our school's mechanism reform method, if they get the secret of thunder again, they think that this is cultivating our enemies." ”

"Europa is our enemy?" Tian Boguang interjected.

Huo Chenggong looked at Dai Zhenduo: "Yes, for Asia, the other two federations are potential enemies, and we must guard against them." ”

"Well, no matter what, it's always good to take some precautions." Dai Zhenduo nodded slowly, although he didn't quite understand the deep nervousness and hostility towards Europa when Miscellaneous Fish stated his opinion.

He was also secretly surprised, wasn't Huo Chenggong and Sanchester's visitors very good at that time, so at his age, he could already tell the difference between personal friendship and state affairs?

Of course, the miscellaneous fish is very clear, the motives for his friendship with the visitors of Sanchester are not pure, no matter who has had such a painful experience, how simple is it, in the face of Dai Zhenduo's half-joking inquiry, Huo Chenggong's answer is very simple: "I think there are many similarities between Sanchester and our national defense." ”

"For example?"

"Their real chief is Heinrich. Frank, a hard-line Europa military leader, as I understand him, also has strong political aspirations, and in that he is very similar to our chief, but with one difference, he also secretly controls a radical party like the Socialist Party led by Al Gore. ”

A young man of Huo Chenggong's age was talking about real politicians and inferred about them, Li Ben really felt strange about this, he frowned and asked, "But so what. ”

"Not good." Huo Chenggong said with a smile: "It's just that when I watch the news, I often hear that some resource stars have been depleted, and after thousands of years of development and expansion, our resources have been reduced to an extremely low storage level again. ”

"Is war coming?" Tian Boguang said with a smile.

Huo Chenggong turned a blind eye to Tian Boguang's sarcastic smile, Huo Chenggong nodded: "Yes, we are used to the current way of living, and no matter how vast the universe is, due to technology, we are limited to the galaxy, what is the difference between this and the human civilization in the ancient earth era." ”

At this point, his meaning is already obvious.

At this time, Dai Zhenduo opened his mouth: "According to the investigation report of the Resources Association, at present, our resources are only enough for us to survive in this way for another three hundred years, and the available resources are being consumed at an alarming rate. ”

His attitude shows that it is a joke that only he is not a trash fish.

This made Miscellaneous Fish very pleased, the vision of the national defense leader was indeed not comparable to those two stunned young men, he immediately glanced at Tian Boguang and Li Ben, and the two current upstarts in national defense were annoyed.

And Huo Chenggong immediately said: "Heinrich is widely praised by the people of Europa, although in distant Asia, we can also know many of his deeds, according to the humble private analysis of those practical deeds, the humble office thinks that His Excellency Heinrich is indeed a noble character, but the humble official still thinks that he can have such a reputation, mainly from Gore's god-making movement, so after all the fog is removed, the humble duty follows its trajectory, and can't help but remember..."

Then he looked at Dai Zhenduo, who had a solemn face, and said, "This reminds me of a ghost in the sky over Europe in the early stage of World War II in the ancient earth era. ”

Dai Zhenduo nodded slowly: "When the premonition becomes a reality and there is no escape, what kind of way will the person in power choose to digest the difficulties under his rule, even if there are countless means, but war is the best way to solve the problem, because this is caused by our heavenly surname of quick success." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Sergeant Huo." Dai Zhenduo said solemnly.

"You're welcome, sir, where is the duty of the lowly duty." Huo Chenggong replied with the same seriousness.

The dialogue between the two generations of national defense on the future has come to an end, but the two national defense middle-level officials who are watching them can now be sure that they will remember this scene for the rest of their lives and will never forget it.
