Chapter 163 Big Gun (Part 2)

There is no desire, so he is strong and has no worries. He can fall asleep peacefully by the cold wind blowing the iron gate in the middle of the night. The mother and daughter in the Army General Hospital may be pitiful, but this has nothing to do with Xu Le. It can even be said that the role he played in this matter is very commendable.

The general on the sofa knew this very well, so logically speaking, Xu Le should not feel any tension or depression when facing Zou Yu's father. But when he walked to the sofa and gave a silent military salute, he still felt that the thick red carpet under his feet and the yellow wallpaper on the walls still made him nervous.

Some of the feeling I felt like when I first saw Mrs. Tai on the back mountain of Mochou that day, but today this feeling is more real and more realistic. Sitting quietly on the sofa, the general's hair was gray, and in Yunhou Hotel, a place full of military aura, he seemed to be angry and powerful.

The Deputy Minister of National Defense is an important cabinet member and is also an amazing figure in the federal political system. However, in terms of real strength, he is actually far inferior to the commanders of several major military regions at the same level, or the federal three-star female general in the space fleet.

But the Vice Minister Zou is different on the sofa.

At the beginning of the year, Deputy Minister Yang Jinsong committed suicide and died. In order to calm the political storm and give an explanation to the Tai family, President Xige took the opportunity to take the opportunity and sat in this position. The position he obtained due to political factors and exchange of interests is really difficult to be respected in a place like the federal military that is seniority-based, but only more than half a year later, he began to calmly exert his influence in the army. This general's ability under the silence of the general can be seen.

It would be fine if it were just that. The problem now is that everyone knows that after this year's presidential election, if Prabble's MP is successfully elected president, the man on the sofa will become the Minister of Defense. It's just one word missing. Unless the war begins and the president wears the marshal's uniform, he will become the nominal supreme leader of the federal military...

Xu Le stood quietly in front of Zou Yingxing. Zou Yingxing seemed to be dealing with an emergency document, or just simply wanted to hang the young man. No matter what intention it was, Xu Le didn't care. He happened to take advantage of this quiet time to observe the other party and calm himself down.

Everyone will be a little nervous when standing in front of the future first person in the federal military.

More than a decade ago, the Federal Expeditionary Force conquered a resource planet of the Empire. A shocking explosion destroyed the hope of the Expeditionary Force. Federal soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were difficult to supply. At the dangerous moment of the Empire's counterattack, there was always the danger of the entire army being destroyed. At this time, Zou Yingxing, who was still the interim director of the Logistics Department of the Joint Combat Force, took the risk of going to the military court and ordered the Third Fleet to make a hard landing on the surface of the planet. In the end, at the cost of losing two enterprise-class warships, the remaining Expeditionary Force left on the surface of the planet organized effective defense capabilities, and bought valuable time for the final withdrawal of the entire army.

Xu Le recalled the resume of the general in front of him in his heart. That decisive order gave Zou Yingxing a place in the hearts of the old men in the federal military.

However, this person is a technocratic person after all. He has been fighting in the assembly base for many years and has not commanded a large-scale battle alone as the chief official on the front line. It should be regarded as the biggest weakness of the other party's promotion to the position of Minister of National Defense.

Just as Xu Le lowered his head and thought, the general on the sofa finally raised his head. He rubbed his slightly sluggish eyes and said calmly: "Sit. In the afternoon, President Xige is coming to listen to the report of the joint meeting, and I must first review it."

This sentence probably shows the attitude of Vice Minister Zou. I am not deliberately leaving you alone. With his current status, there is no need to explain anything to Xu Le, but after he explained it, it laid the tone of today's conversation.

Xu Le nodded, found a chair next to him and sat down.

Deputy Minister Zou put his glasses on the table and said with a smile: "When I was on the fleet, the military doctors advised me to use laser surgery to cure my eyes, but I didn't agree. Now it seems that it is quite a bit prescient."

Xu Le understood what he meant. The federal military promoted laser surgery in order to improve the combat ability of soldiers as much as possible in the ever-changing war. But after thirty or forty years, the eyes of those soldiers who received treatment gradually returned to their original levels, and even worsened a little. In the past few years, the veterans' association marched, and it was said that this matter was also used as the main propaganda method.

He didn't understand why the other party wanted to talk to him. If it was about politics, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense should have a better person to talk to.

"For the strength of the Federation, the improvement of pure technology is sometimes not necessarily a good thing."

Zou Yingxing sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the ordinary young man in front of him, and said: "After four constitutional calendars, due to the lack of crystal mineral resources, the direction of the federal army has begun to change. The use of ship-based light energy weapons is becoming more and more cost-effective, and the research on individual light energy weapons has ended in vain, because... the universe we already know seems to be unable to provide so many resources at all."

Xu Le listened quietly.

"When did the first time the Federal Mecha appeared?"

“Many years ago.”

“When is it time for the formally equipped army?”

"Before four constitutional calendars."

"You're right." Deputy Minister Zou looked at Xu Le and said slowly: "And the mechas really began to play a role is the constitutional calendar era we are in. In this era, the Federation has had a powerful enemy of the empire, and the military's combat methods have also changed from space combat to landing operations. Mechas with absolute maneuverability will become more and more important."

Xu Le didn't expect that the conversation at Yunhou Hotel today had nothing to do with Zou Yu. The father seemed to have no concern about his daughter having just given birth to a child. Instead, he went straight to the point and mentioned the mecha. He vaguely understood why the other party wanted to see him.

"Just received the information, the empire has accelerated the development of new mechas." Zou Yingxing rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said in a slightly worried voice.

The charter that the Federation is proud of is glorious, ensuring that in the past few decades, no spy from the Empire could penetrate into the Federation. Perhaps the Bermuda Triangle also for the sake of interests, but the Empire still believes in people of the same bloodline. But things in the universe are always so clever. The existence of the First Charter makes a chip hidden behind every federal citizen's neck. With this, the Empire can prevent the infiltration of outstanding federal agents.

The Federation currently only knows that the Empire has accelerated the development of mechas, but it has no idea of ​​the direction of the other party's development, and it is even more impossible to obtain the structural design of the Empire mecha.

"This is top secret information, I shouldn't listen." Xu Le suddenly woke up and said.

Deputy Minister Zou shook his head, leaned on the sofa, looked at him quietly, and said, "You already have the long-term high-level authority of the Fruit Husk Engineering Department, and the new federal mecha seems to be in your hands. I must notify you of this kind of information as soon as possible."

Xu Le knew that he was going to Hong Kong Capital and could not hide it from the boss in front of him. Not to mention how many eyes the federal military had stared at the industrial park, but only talking about the relationship between the Tai family and Deputy Minister Zou, the other party should be very clear about the important role he played in it.

"The maneuverability of military mechas can be doubled, and the role it plays in war can be increased ten times." Deputy Minister Zou stared at him with a sense of oppression and said: "In the original design of Guoke, the instant maximum power of mx can be increased by four times than the existing m series. You should be very clear about what this means."

"I used to work at the assembly base and had a lot of dealing with you Guoke, so I knew the importance of this matter very well. In fact, everyone in the military knew very well that mx was a sharp blade and a big gun in the future battle with the empire... This is something we have been waiting for over the years. I hope you don't disappoint us."

Just a simple sentence came over like a mountain. What Deputy Minister Zou said naturally included the terrifying generals in the federal military, would it include the military god of the Li family in Philadelphia? Xu Le suddenly felt that his shoulders were a little heavy.

"I don't care about the outcome of the presidential election, and I don't care whether the scientists of the Federal Academy of Sciences will participate in politics. I only care about mx." Deputy Minister Zou looked at him coldly, "I am a soldier. As long as this mecha can be developed, I will be grateful to him whether it is the Ministry of Engineering or the Academy of Sciences."

Xu Le didn't know how sincere the general said in front of him was. If it was true, a hint of awe would arise in his heart. There were many heroes in the Federation, especially in the army. Such iron-blooded soldiers who did not care about their personal future and only considered the future of the Federation were actually able to provoke the guns of countless stars.

He lowered his head, knowing that Zou Yu's father might not know that he had done tricks in the core data, but today, the other party habitually began to beat him, warning him not to have problems with such major issues related to the future of the federal government.

"I will seize the time." Xu Le raised his head, looked at the general's slightly tired face seriously, and replied.

"You are still staying in Baishui for the time being." Deputy Minister Zou ordered: "The secretary will leave you a phone number later. If you have any questions in the past few months, you can ask him to help."

After a moment of pause, the Defense Ministry boss squinted his eyes and said, "This is a confidential cause of the federal government. You can apply for funds from the Defense Ministry and don't extend your hand to the Li family's elder seventh again. That businessman..."

The comments ended here, and there were many endless meanings. Xu Le lowered his head slightly and sighed in his heart, knowing that from today on, he would have truly become a federal soldier.

He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is the joint meeting of the past two days related to the last terrorist attack in the gymnasium? Is the Ministry of Defense ready to restart the shelved spring offensive?"

Deputy Minister Zou's eyes shaved across his face like a knife. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said, "This is not something you should ask."

Xu Le gently pressed his phone through his clothes and suddenly said, "I think that thing was done by Congressman Medellin."
