"You think clearly, who you were once, who you are now, who you are in the future, and who are you?" Lin Zihan let the heavy rain crackle on his face, muttering the old man's words.

"What a weirdo, why did I remember this sentence. Am I not who I am? Who else could I be! Lin Zihan opened his mouth, and the rain fell into Lin Zihan's mouth, which was a little salty.

On this night when Lin Zihan was hesitant and confused alone, the entire Southern Regions underwent earth-shaking changes in this heavy rainstorm, the Southern Regions Federation Army and the Combined Forces failed to negotiate and officially engaged, and more than a dozen cities in the entire Southern Regions fell into the flames of war.

……

"Commander Ai, on behalf of the Seventh Army of the Federal Army, thank you for joining!" Xia Ming was wearing a federal army uniform, carrying the rank of a one-star military commander on his shoulders, and his slightly young face had a resolute expression like a battle-hardened veteran.

"Xia Ming? Are you from the Union Army? Ai Jie looked at this person who came to answer him in disbelief, Xia Ming, who was once an instructor of the extreme individual training camp, was now carrying the rank of one-star military commander on his shoulders, and his air was magnificent, and the rain fell on Xia Ming's body, sliding down the waterproof military uniform and falling to the ground.

"That's right, I joined the Southern Capital Army in order to find out the rumors of the large-scale expansion of military construction in the cities of the Southern Regions, but unfortunately, as soon as I was a little eyebrows, Yuan Tingkai noticed it, and I could only end the task early and return to the Federal Army.

In the end, it failed to prevent the outbreak of this war, and Yuan Tingkai's combined army still had a complete structure, and it had already received the support of many large cities in the southern region. Xia Ming said, with a hint of self-reproach in his words.

"Is the Federation really going to war? In this way, the entire Southern Regions will be plunged into war, and there will really be no room for maneuver? Ai Jay is clearly unwilling to accept this reality, and to this day, Ai Jay still hopes for a turnaround.

"Yuan Tingkai has already asked the federal army to open the defense line and let them freely enter the Great Wilderness Area on the border of the Southern Regions, and the federal army has taken military action with the permission of the Imperial Federation for the sake of stabilizing the situation." Xia Ming said, with a deep worry in his eyes.

Looking at Xia Ming's expression, Ai Jie knew that this war, which was related to the future direction of the Southern Regions, had officially kicked off.

"Although I also know that the Federation has long been corrupt now, at least the Federation can maintain the peace of the empire and ensure the construction of urban defense lines." Xia Ming said, and there seemed to be disappointment with the Federation in his words.

"If you say this, will you be court-martialed one day?" Ai Jie's expression tightened, he didn't expect that Xia Ming, as the commander of the Federation Army, would complain about the Federation in front of him.

"I'm just telling the truth, the military funds embezzled by the Federation over the years don't need to be small in cities, and there are not a few private arms deals with the north." Xia Ming said, feeling even more unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"I'm a small army commander, and the Federation Army may not care about me!" Xia Ming's words seemed a little lonely. The failure of the mission lost Xia Ming's greatest value to the Federation Army.

The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook, and the birds hide their bows, which has been a common thing since ancient times, but it is a pity that in addition to taking away a group of elites, for the federal army, there is no military merit, and he is not a good bow, and the birds are inexhaustible, and they have nothing to do with themselves.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the Federation Army's armory near the Southern Capital, most of the Federation Army should have been at war with the Combine by this time." Xia Ming said, opened the car door, sat straight up, and looked at the sky outside the window, the black clouds were impermeable, and the wind and rain were merciless.

The heavily armored convoy was followed by a troop carrier, followed by a group of mecha soldiers, like a long snake, in the torrential rain, towards a canyon.

"Commander, looking at Xia Ming's attitude towards the Federation Army, do we really want to join?" Tang Longjie, as a guard division, naturally rode in the same heavy armored car as Ai Jie.

At this moment, Ai Jie's attention was focused on the projection map in front of him, this area almost did not have any marks of the Southern Capital, it belonged to the blind spot of the Southern Capital City Army, and it had always belonged to the forbidden area.

"It seems that the Federation Army has been on guard against the joint rebellion of the City Army for a long time, and this area has been ungoverned since more than twenty years ago, with no garrisons, no one to set foot on, and it has been marked as a forbidden area."

Ai Jie looked at the three-dimensional projection, a gray area, the convoy is driving at high speed in this gray area, it can be seen that the federal army is very familiar with this area, and as the southern capital city army, Ai Jie has never entered this area, and the military department does not have any information about this area.

"You're already on the thief ship, what else? What's more, Yuan Tingkai helped the war, and he was bound to invest the entire military power of the Southern Regions into the wilderness area, such a radical proposition would really make the Southern and Southern Regions fall into the flames of war, and it would only make the economic system of the Southern Regions collapse just now, and the Northern Territory advocating military affairs is an example.

And all this is just for him to satisfy his own vanity, for his own ambitions, and for his own obsessions. The current military strength of the human race is not enough to resist the fierce beasts, and the great sweep plan of the Imperial Federation is not an example?

In exchange for what? It is the prosperous economy that has just recovered, which has once again returned to the period of the cataclysm, and has fallen into the catastrophe again, and because of this, the status of the Imperial Federation has also plummeted, otherwise how dare the four major territories develop their military freely. Ai Jie was clearly not hopeful about Yuan Tingkai's methods.

Listening to Ai Jie's words, Tang Longjie's eyes also noticed that on the map, except for the simple terrain detected, there was no data display.

"The Federation Army can actually lurk a hundred kilometers away from the Southern Capital, it seems that we have always underestimated the Southern Capital Federation." Tang Longjie looked at the gray on the map, and he was even more in awe of the Federation Army in his heart.

Through the one-way glass of the heavy armored car, Tang Longjie looked out the window, it was pitch black, and in the heavy rain, he could vaguely see out of the window, with a faint light and the shadow of the car.

"Looks like we're not the only ones here!" Ai Jie looked in the direction of the bridge, and through the radar reality, he also saw a series of red dots outside in the wrong direction, and he did not have the slightest intention of concealing his whereabouts.

"To this day, if the federal army does not act, it will really be squeezed out of the southern capital by the combined army, and it will no longer be able to control the resources of the southern capital." Ai Jie knew in his heart how the Federation would allow Yuan Tingkai to continue to be presumptuous.

From the beginning of the Nandu Mutiny, the moment when the federal garrison of the Southern Capital was wiped out, Yuan Tingkai was like a fish in water in the Southern Regions. Little by little, they encroach on the cities of the Southern Regions, occupy resource areas, form gangs, and establish new military defense lines.

"Yuan Tingkai's gradual arrogance has made the Southern Regions Federation unbearable, and several mediations have not made Yuan Tingkai stop his small actions, but have intensified, do you think the Federation will continue to endure it?

If the news I get is good, the Federation will not hesitate to transfer manpower from the frontier defense front to form a new formation to counterattack the peripheral cities in the southern region. At this time, if the northern realm wants to dye the guide domain, it is also within reach. Ai Jie's expression was solemn, he was more worried about the northern border interfering than the civil war in the southern regions.

"I guess the Federation wouldn't be that stupid, would it? Moreover, the border defense line, built for many years, is impregnable, and the northern border is not so easy to break through. Tang Longjie is obviously much more optimistic, as a person who has come up step by step from a pawn, Tang Longjie attaches more importance to the construction of basic armaments.

As a military cadet, Ai Jie, who was born in the north, has seen the terrible military thinking, command thinking, and war consciousness in the north.

……

In the Combine Army garrison, which is farthest away from the southern capital, under the torrential rain, only the mecha formation of the patrol force is still vaguely patrolling around the station, and ordinary soldiers have long chosen to take shelter from the rain in the nearest guard tower.

"Captain, it's raining so hard, the beasts have to hide, do we still have to patrol?" Over the radio, a mechwarrior complained. Under the heavy energy-powered armor, a soldier looked at the screen in front of him, supplemented by infrared detection images, and there was no sign of life activity except for heavy rain.

"You know what? In this kind of bad weather, some powerful beasts are more likely to be irritable, not to mention that we have to guard against the Federation Army. Under the dark green mecha at the head, the patrol leader glanced at the radar map.

The rain was so heavy that even the signal of the detection radar was weakened, and the detection range was less than a kilometer.

"Three kilometers further outside, we will go to the nearest supply point to replenish a wave of energy, such a heavy rain, the energy consumption of the mecha is obviously faster." The captain glanced at the map next to him and whispered, and with the push of the joystick, the five-meter-high mecha glided directly to the ground.

And in the supply station in the distance, a team of ordinary exoskeleton soldiers is resting, the rain is majestic, even if it relies on the assistance of the exoskeleton armor, it is difficult to patrol, after all, the armor of these ordinary people does not have the maintenance of the end brain, just a heavy mechanical armor.

"Hurry up and take a break, the nearest mecha team is not far from us, and when the time comes, we will go with them to the Twelfth station next to us." The leader of the patrol team looked at the window, and the rain flowed down directly in streams, and the heavy rain was like a note, and the low visibility was terrible.

"With such heavy rain, the mecha troops are not having a good time!" A soldier, the mask of the exoskeleton armor slowly raised, and the energy bar he held in his hand was stuffed directly into his mouth, chewing heavily. The sweat on his hair was like rain.

"I remember that you kid seems to be a B-level enhancer, how did you end up in our exoskeleton team!" The captain at the head said, looking at the soldier who still had the energy to speak.

"There's no exoskeleton with an end brain, it's just an armor, and I think it's better for me to use than a pilot." The soldier said, bending his arm and making a fitness motion, his muscles stirring the soft armor of the exoskeleton and bulging slightly.

"For ordinary exoskeleton warframes, you do have an advantage." The captain said unhappily, his left hand clenched into a claw, and a bottle of energy potion was directly sucked into his hand, "But I'm a real driver." ”

This is the captain of the driver, giving the new soldier a dismount, and it is also the gap between the driver and the reinforcement of mutual disobedience.

It's just that this tired squad doesn't know that danger has already crept in, and a well-equipped A-class exoskeleton team, with twelve pilots, has already set up a magnetic punch cannon a kilometer outside the supply station.

"Captain, the six magnetic punch cannons have been erected, and the supply station in the target C2 area can be bombarded at any time." The exoskeleton team of the Federal Army is obviously much more elite, and the exoskeleton team sent out is also A-level.

Compared with the mid-level exoskeleton of the combined army, the high place is not only the grade, but the end brain, so that the A-level exoskeleton driver has stronger combat effectiveness when manipulating the exoskeleton.

"Launch in five minutes." The captain opened his eyes and said in a low voice, under the heavy rain, the power provided by the exoskeleton, after the calculation of the telebrain, has indeed greatly weakened the obstacles brought by the environment, but it is only weakened.

As the countdown ended, six white rays of light shot out, and in the blink of an eye, the supply station in the distance saw a light as suddenly as day.
