My dream is over before it even begins!

On that day three years ago, countless fireballs fell from the sky, shattering all the dreams and hopes of mankind, and Yoshitoku Hirai was not the only one who was disheartened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The burning expedition, the letter of recommendation blown away by the wind, the medal of the trump card, the scar on the forehead. Zhen Cheng's heart seemed to have been beaten with a heavy hammer, making him almost bend down and shrink into a ball on the ground in pain. However, now he is no longer the fool who is drunk and dreams and only knows how to anesthetize himself with alcohol and women.

There was a woman who lit the fire in Zhen Cheng's heart at the cost of her life......

He is no longer confused!

"Mr. Hirai!" Zhen Cheng spoke: "Three years ago, I once thought that my dream was shattered, I was drunk and dreamed of death, and I almost gave up my life until I met the dawn...... The failure of three years ago does not mean that mankind has completely lost hope, as long as there is a dawn, there is still hope for everything. ”

"No...... There is no hope for humanity anymore. Hirai Yoshitoku lay on the table and buried his head in the crook of his arm: "Three years ago, all mankind twisted into a rope to fight against the Demon Star People, but in the end they were defeated and surrendered, and now, with only an underground organization born from the former Federation Army, the strength is not as good as the former Federation Army, what can be done?" You have no hope of victory, not at all. ”

Hearing this, Zhen Cheng's heart couldn't help but be slightly shaken, in fact, he didn't start to shake after hearing this, all along, he had a question in his heart, a question that he didn't want to face or dare to face. Yes, three years ago, the battle to defend the earth, which gathered the strength of all mankind, lost!

Today's dawn lacks guns and artillery, and even the mecha warriors are few, compared to the Earth Federation Earth Defense Force three years ago, they are far inferior, and even the puppet army can only hide in Tibet, and what can they do to deal with the extremely powerful Demon Warriors?

Zhen Cheng's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he couldn't stop trembling.

"There is hope." The Faceless One suddenly spoke, his voice as calm as ever, without Sihao's wavering: "Three years ago, we had no hope and could only surrender, but now, three years later, we have hope. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Hirai looked up, a few old tears still on his face. Zhen Cheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Faceless One, wanting to get an answer from him.

The Faceless One's gaze became distant: "Three years ago, why did our Earth Federation Army surrender so quickly, most people didn't know about it, didn't you doubt it?" Why did the President of the Federation immediately surrender just because the battle in the universe was lost? Obviously, the aliens had not yet carried out the earth landing operation at that time, and the three armies of our Earth Federation Army were unharmed, but they only lost most of the space army, and there were countless empty teeth, green wolves, earth tigers, silver fish, and countless ace pilots alive, how could it be so easy for the demons to land on the earth? ”

"Huh? Oh, yes! Zhen Cheng couldn't help but be surprised: "Hearing the lieutenant general say this, it's really strange." At that time, if we relied on a large ground force for defense, aliens might not be able to occupy the earth. Using the defense to delay to precious time, the world's arsenals will start work together, rebuild the mecha warriors for space warfare, accumulate strength, and then recapture the lunar base and the Mars base in one fell swoop, and the situation can be turned back. Why did we surrender at that time? ”

The Faceless One said with a straight face, "This is a secret that only the soldiers and powerful politicians who fought against aliens in the universe at that time know, and now is the time to tell you." ”

As if he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him, he said flatly: "Actually, in terms of the performance of mecha warriors, we earthlings are not obviously lagging behind, and we have been fighting interstellar wars with demon people for nearly twenty years, and the earth has not been at a disadvantage. But three years ago, the technology of the Demon Star suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, the performance of the mecha warriors was greatly enhanced, and terrifying ion weapons were also developed. ”

Speaking of this, Zhen Cheng couldn't help but think of Qianxue in early spring, she now has a miniature ion cannon. And the power of that cannon, Zhen Cheng has witnessed it many times. I think the Earth Federation Army was also taken aback when it saw the ion cannon for the first time.

Hirai Yoshitoku nodded, and honestly admitted: "The ion cannon is a great weapon, the heavily armored earth tiger I designed is vulnerable in front of it, and I estimate that the armor of the iron armor demon god can't stop the power of the ion cannon, so I asked the Macon musket to send four secret ninjas to deal with the miniature ion cannon first with the method of sneak attack." ”

The Faceless One snorted, and continued: "The miniature ion cannon equipped in the hands of the mecha warrior is actually nothing, it needs a large ion cannon to be powerful, it is equipped on a space battleship, and it has powerful and unparalleled firepower. The most powerful space mother expedition of our Earth Army...... was hit by the enemy's Purgatory with a large battleship-class ion cannon, and the heavy armor was instantly pierced, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a ball of fire. ”

Only then did Zhen Cheng finally understand how the Expedition had been defeated, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly.

The Faceless One sighed: "It's a pity, the large ion cannon is not a weapon that really forces the Federation to surrender, you know, humans are an unyielding people, and it is not so easy to say defeat." No matter how powerful the enemy mechfighters are, we can still win with numbers or excellent piloting skills. No matter how powerful the enemy's battleship main guns are, as long as we put a few more battleships in the siege, or use ambushes, encirclements, kamikaze and other tactics, it will not be impossible to defeat it. Once we defeat him once and grab an ion cannon to disassemble and study, it won't take long for us to create an identical weapon...... In fact, this has been the case in wars throughout the ages. ”

At this point, the Faceless fell into a long silence before sighing, "What really makes people feel unbeatable is a super giant ion cannon on board the space station of the Demon Starman, which has a code name called 'Planet Destroyer'. ”

"Planet Destroyer? The name is a bit exaggerated, could it be that it can bombard a planet with one shot? Hirai Zentoku said.

The Faceless One didn't answer Hirai Yoshitoku's question, but simply asked, "Have you ever seen the moon in these three years?" ”

"Yes, doesn't it come out every night?" Hirai Zentoku said.

"Have you ever seen it round?"

"This ...... I'm too busy researching to care too much about whether the moon is round or not. Hirai shook his head.

Zhen Cheng next to him changed slightly: "I haven't been round, on August 15 of the past three years, the moon is a half-moon shape......"

(Note: Book lovers can go back and look at the previous chapters, in chapter 2, when the Scar instructor called, he mentioned planetary destroyers, and in chapter 5, when Zhang Yingxian's sister died, he mentioned the waning moon.) At the end of chapter forty-seven, when Zhen Cheng looked at the night sky, he also mentioned the waning moon. I've never written about the full moon once! The moon has never been full. ）

Speaking of this, Zhen Cheng seemed to understand something, and his voice couldn't help but tremble: "It's ...... Could it be ......"

"Yes! There is only half of the moon left, so it can only be a half-moon type. The Faceless One said in a tone full of memories: "On that day three years ago, the Demon Star Army was overwhelmed and fought fiercely with the Earth Defense Force of the Earth Federation Army. At that time, I was in charge of commanding the 32nd Special Attack Group of the Earth Federation Army's Space Force, pinning down enemy forces on the flank. Because the enemy is heavily equipped with new types of ion cannons, we fought very hard, but we were not completely at a disadvantage...... I still remember that at that time, the universe was full of cold blue ion cannon rays, and the sky was full of hundreds of thousands of mecha warriors flying in and out of the universe...... Such a magnificent war, even I have seen it for the first time in my life. ”

Zhen Cheng and Hirai did not interject and listened quietly.

"Just when the situation on our side was slowly improving, the space station of the Demon Star was slowly approaching the moon, getting closer and closer, and the defense troops of the moon base took the lead in attacking, wanting to destroy it...... However, at this moment, a huge cannon barrel suddenly stretched out from the space station, which was the giant ion cannon 'Planet Destroyer'...... With just one shot, the lunar base was completely destroyed, and the moon was also punched out of a huge gap, like a moon cake that had been bitten. From that day on, the moon on August 15 could not be round, because it was no longer spherical at all. ”

Zhen Cheng gasped, and Hirai Yoshitoku's face also turned black.

"After this shot, the federal government lost its will to fight." The Faceless One said bitterly: "Actually, I can understand why the President of the Federation immediately announced his surrender at that time, if he didn't surrender quickly, the planetary destroyer replenished the energy of the next cannon, and then fired at the earth, I can't imagine what it would cause." ”

Everyone lost interest in talking, and the room became eerily quiet, and after dozens of seconds, Hirai Yoshitoku suddenly laughed maniacally: "Hahaha...... Really...... Sure enough, there's no hope...... Hahaha...... What Dawn is doing now is pointless, we're done, I'll always be a slave to the Demon Stars, I'll always be a mad scientist...... Hahahaha......"
