Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Legend of Le Lei (I)
The program team, which was determined to seize this opportunity, focused the camera on the passionate crowd while inserting the three-year war process of Le Lei and the live battle of the hero Tian Xingjian. They want to take advantage of the craze of the return of federal heroes to make an unforgettable classic show.
The first thing that appeared on the light screen TV was the image of Gacharin's brazen invasion of the Garrilei system.
Next to the main frame of the Gacharin space battleship's icy muzzle sliding past the camera, there are two smaller frames. One is the figure of Le Ray's soldiers resisting under fire, and the other is the scene of Celestial Leg's unreasonable accusation at the Supreme Council of Mankind of deliberately provoking the incident.
The fleet that rushed into the interstellar jump point, the soldiers in the positions, the whistling cannonballs, the whirling lips of the West Spokesman, there was no sound. The only background sound was the deafening shouts of the First Military Academy in the capital.
The audience bit their lipes and watched the light screen TV change. In the Galileo system, in the Newton system, immigrant planets were captured by Gacharin's soldiers. Countless cities were reduced to ruins in flames, and countless civilians were strewn in the streets.
Men are killed, women are humiliated, and a little girl with a dirty face is pictured, standing in the rubble, standing on the burning city street, crying in horror and helplessness. The girl's lips, full of tears and snot, closed in the silent image, could tell which heart-wrenching word she was shouting.
"Mom!"
In front of the giant light curtain TV in the square, several girls covered their mouths. Tears welled up in his eyes.
The photographer walks through the crowd, moving with the camera. All sorts of voices appeared on TV, "Long live Leray!" The cry of a girl with a crying voice was particularly clear.
On the light curtain TV, the camera glides over the wreckage of the battleship in the starry sky, and the ground battlefields of Lucerne and Miloc. Finally settled in a prisoner of war camp.
Coldly isolated outside the net, the corpses were piled up in a small mountain. Inside the net, emaciated prisoners of war were confined like cattle.
On the small screen, it is still the dignified speaker of the West. It was three months after the outbreak of the war, and he accused the Legre Federation of massacring dissident civilians and mistreating prisoners of war during the war.
The Gacha Woodland Army spread like locusts across the map of Lelei, and the mouth of the righteous spokesman was turning rapidly.
Pictures of the war were played silently.
Finally. As the Confederacy began a counteroffensive on the screen. First of all, the Newton local fleet broke through the jump point with the most resolute attitude and returned to the Newton system. This was followed by the start of the Battle of Milok Ground.
Cato. This famous meat grinder battlefield has once again appeared in front of everyone's eyes. One after another, the weavers were full. Pull it up and it's gone. Photographs of the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers, mechs and the wreckage of weapons. Crashed warplanes blazing, field hospitals full of wounded...... The combat was brutal enough to be unbearable.
On the small screen next to it, Westo's spokesman is still chattering, this time. It's an abomination. The arrogant woman, this woman is asking for a ceasefire in the Federation of Leret. Accept the mediation of the Supreme Union of Mankind. on another small screen. A grand ceremony was played to welcome the return of 270 Federation heroes. And behind the warriors who wept bitterly with their loved ones. It's vaguely, the background of the familiar [Warcraft] battle site.
The director in the live broadcast car typed the text on the keyboard with his own hands: "Sons and daughters of the federal land." Never gave in. That day. We got to know our own heroes. ”
His hands flicked on the console. The background becomes clear.
On the small screen, [Warcraft] stands under a big tree. In the face of thousands of enemies, six shots were fired in a row...... On the main screen, the Federation fleet begins its march towards the Garilo system. A majestic new type of battleship that breaks through the void of the jump point and emerges in front of the enemy.
[Warcraft] jumped and turned around as it ran, and the sniper cannon flashed with a white light...... The Federal Army landed in Lucerne, and the dense mechs jumped out of the giant transport ship and fell to the ground overwhelmingly...
[Warcraft] rushed left and right in the criss-crossing artillery fire...... The Union Panzer Division had already crossed the enemy's defensive positions and launched a tidal general assault on the Gacharin's army under the command of Libgaut...
[Demonic Beast] jumped out of the cliff in the crowd of enemies with its wings quickly closing together, its body flickering in the blows of countless energy cannons...... The Federal Army gave a shout of victory, and in front of them, one Gachalin mech after another was lifted from combat ...
The picture changes rapidly, faster and faster, and it is dizzying. These battles that everyone has watched countless times, and now it seems that people still can't help but make their hearts beat faster and their blood boils.
In the end, the three rapidly changing images are frozen at the same time.
It was a photo of Tian Xingjian and eight big characters: "Heroes go home!" Long live Lere! ”
The patriotic sentiment of the people of Lelei was ignited by the director of the "Hero" program, which deliberately created a sensation. Every viewer who watched the live show jumped out of sight.
Lao Cheng was serious, and he clenched his fists in front of the light screen TV, trying not to let his tears flow down with the students in the picture who were tearfully shouting Long live Lelei, but some young people quickly gathered and gathered into a torrent of passion. I don't know where they found so many Lelei flags, and for a while, the squares and streets became a sea of flags.
A gray-haired old man, standing on the side of the road with a cane, shouted loudly to the boiling crowd: "Long live Leray!" The crowd responded to him with a louder voice. No one can suppress the blood boiling in their hearts. It seems that if you don't shout like this, you won't feel happy.
The program team conducted random interviews with the students and soldiers who were still gathered in the capital's No. 1 Military Academy and were so excited that they were incoherent.
"I'm so happy, so excited." A brown-haired boy yells at the camera, and he must use his shouting voice to ensure that he is not drowned out by the majestic shouts next to him:
Thinking that I could see our Federation heroes... I was so lucky. I love to come. I will defend her with my life, just like our local heroes. ”
A mother with a baby in her arms said, "The time I saw him jump off a cliff, I hated the Desiks to death." She wiped her tears and suddenly burst into a smile: "Now." I was so happy to see him come back. Welcome him home. He should have a good rest, shaved and haircut. ”
"He's a role model for the Lelei soldiers!" A soldier's lips trembled, and after saying a word, he was silent for a long time, and at the moment when tears were about to burst out of his eyes, he gave a standard military salute to the camera: "Allow me to salute you here." I stand for my parents who died in the war. Thank you for everything you did for us. ”
At this time, the threat of Gacharin and De Rec in Lerexi had been lifted, and after three years of war, there was finally a respite. Sadness. Joy, touching and various emotions are intertwined. It was as if people had suddenly woken up from their painful and numb lives, and had time to chew, to digest, to vent all that the war had brought about.
"Heroes" special. It sparked a frenzy of celebrating the hero's homecoming.
Every viewer who has watched the show thinks that it is a wonderful show. But. The program team doesn't seem to be satisfied. They were determined to burn this fire to the end.
In a dazzling simulation of cyber mecha fighting. After stunned the audience, they let a young man who did not belong to the Leray Federation sit in the interview booth of the live broadcast car.
"My name is Kozmo. Planet Mars from the Freeport Alliance. Kozmo calmly introduced himself under the guidance of the moderator, Helen.
—
"I heard that you are a first-class mecha knight." Helen asked.
"Yes." Kozmo nodded, "Three years ago, I won the challenge of becoming a first-class mecha knight. ”
Rank 1 Mecha Knight! This dazzling title immediately caused a commotion among the viewers in front of the TV. In this world full of mechas, everyone knows how powerful a first-class mecha knight is. In peacetime, becoming a mecha knight is the dream of all young people.
"Mars, in Roman mythology, is the name of the god of war. The planet Mars is also one of the five sacred places for mecha fighting. Helen smiled and said, "As far as I know, for the Leray Federation, a first-class mecha warrior from Freeport is almost the god of war in our eyes." ”
"You're complimenting me too much." Kozmo, who was on TV, twisted his chair uneasily and said sincerely: "It's not that I'm arrogant, it's not that I'm deliberately complimenting." In fact, in front of Mr. Tian Xingjian of your country, I am not even qualified to make a move! ”
The audience in front of the TV was in an uproar after the shock.
Lelei has never produced a mecha warrior above level nine, and those who have passed the assessment to become a mecha knight can never be compared with the same level of mecha warriors in Freeport.
Tian Xingjian is a Federation hero, but his mecha level is still at a significant disadvantage when he plays against Esterazi. He became a Union Hero because of his miraculous victories and his valor.
By no means because of his mecha level!
Everyone looked at this legendary Freeport mecha master stupidly, and told a legend belonging to the Lelei Federation in a flat tone.
Is he telling the truth? If not, why would he ruin his reputation so much?
No one understood Kozmo's thoughts.
In fact, even Helen didn't quite understand. Her exposure to the private mecha fighting world is, after all, limited to information networks or magazines.
Therefore, she couldn't understand Kozmo's extreme surprise when he saw the fat man show his ability to transform a hundred. It was from that moment that Kozmo made up his mind. No matter what, he had to seize this opportunity to revive the Phantom Stream.
[Phantom Stream] has been in decline for too long.
So long that many people don't remember that this genre was once one of the eight major schools. It's been so long that everyone has forgotten that this ancient genre should be given the necessary respect.
In Freeport, while other schools of talent are thriving and thriving, the Phantom Stream and the Smith family that represents it can only hide in the corner, following the rules and not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool. How those schools divide their interests, the Smith family can only accept it.
No one cares what people in this genre think. In everyone's eyes, the phantom stream is just relying on the accumulation of the past to linger. When the day comes when the genre doesn't even qualify as a foil, it will become a dessert shared by other genres.
Kozmo knew it from a young age. Even if he is a recognized genius of his family, even if his strength has reached the level of a mecha knight early. However, I can only watch those peers who are far less assiduous and far less talented than themselves, relying on the strength of their genres and families, to ride on their heads.
As a genius who is arrogant and has made the revitalization of the phantom stream his first goal in life, there is nothing more painful and humiliating than such an experience.
Being interviewed was the only way Kozmo could get in touch with Tian Xingjian.
Even if he knew what he was saying now, what kind of chaos it would cause when it reached Freeport, what kind of ridicule it would cause to those unbeatable schools and families, and what kind of ridicule those people would cause for him and his family.
Because, he knows, what he says is the truth! This is still only based on hand-to-hand combat of private mechas, and if it is to control a military mecha with missiles and energy cannons, Kozmo even believes that even the god of war of a civilian mecha is not Tian Xingjian's opponent.
"It's not just that I'm not qualified to challenge." Kozmo's tone was still calm, without the slightest compliment or exaggeration: "I believe that most of the mech commanders, including my father, are also unqualified. ”
