() When we transported the pile of wreckage broken into eighteen pieces to the headquarters for delivery, the entire headquarters was in a state of shock.

"God, we spent so much time and dispatched so many troops but still failed to defeat them. You only dispatched twice and achieved results. You are simply gods!"

This is the comment we hear most often. Although the grammar of the others is different, the content is roughly the same. I wonder if these devout believers will be punished by God for saying this sentence.

Lieutenant General Polk acted relatively calmly:

"I'm very sorry, Student Chen Xiang. Although the type of aircraft you shot down is quite special, according to the "Mecha Soldier Recording Rules", aircraft downing is not included in the record. However, in terms of material supplies, I will give you more supplies.

Some discounts.”

I shrugged, thinking that if all the bad records I had when I landed in Volga Company were revealed, I would already be the number one ace on the list. This kind of thing can be done casually.

We were awarded the "Iron Wing Medal" on the spot, which symbolizes outstanding mecha soldiers. This is a treatment that many Mao Xiong veterans who have been around for more than ten years do not get.

"Thank you for your concern" and "Okay, please get out of the way" and the matter was settled. Of course, the bear was confused and didn't know what happened to us.

After the medals are distributed, there is a long "examination" time, which includes the tactics, combat skills, videos, photos, and each person's 2,000-word statement report. After everything is completed, there will be additional interrogation by professionals. The content is exquisite.

It even touches on our heartbeat and blood pressure when fighting, which makes us very anxious.

Who said that Mao Xiong doesn’t do things carefully?

Of course, what we are asked the most about is our experience. Please, just fight hard and add some brains. What experience do you have, but Officer Mao Xiong refuses to do it. If you have something, you have to have it, and if you don’t have it, you have to have it. Even if it doesn’t work, you have to make it up.

Come out. Since he said so, we won't be polite.

"High-altitude and high-speed airframes have unparalleled advantages in intercepting unmanned aerial vehicles and air defense in key areas."

It's over, just one sentence, no more.

But Officer Mao Xiong felt like he had found a treasure. He ran away with his notes and disappeared. Then the senior officers who had been waiting for Mao Xiong outside immediately formed a group, and they were all talking and shouting. They took advantage of this opportunity.

We sneaked away under the pretext of returning to rest.

It has to be said that in the information age, news spreads incredibly fast.

In just one afternoon, the news that we had downed a "Blackbird" spread throughout several armies, and the general content was focused on the following aspects.

"It was those oriental monkeys who shot it down, just kidding."

"That's awesome. What did these guys have for breakfast?"

"How on earth was it defeated?"

The most people were concerned about the last question, because no one wanted to have their numbers wiped out, so the communication line of the teaching group was almost destroyed by the Bear mecha soldiers throughout the afternoon, and the content was basically the same - they wanted combat skills and data.

"Comrades, you can't just ignore death."

"Hey, buddy, please give me a price."

Before we even started to deal with the internal conflicts in the teaching group, we were thrown into a mess by these grandsons, which gave us a headache and made us all angry.

"I'll pass it on to you right away, money? Damn it, I don't want any money anymore, just shut up!"

"Um...are you serious?"

The furry bears were silenced by our roar.

"Bullshit, believe it or not."

We really disseminated all this information for free without even paying a dime. A few buddies in charge of communications copied and pasted it to the point where they couldn't help it. The bears were extremely grateful and said that they would not mention the past things and that we would all be good comrades in the future.

What a good buddy.

Although we feel distressed after calming down a little, we can only comfort ourselves with long-term investment.

"Okay, everyone, let's gather in the cafeteria to talk about something. Dad Chen, you too must be there."

After finally taking a breath, the members of the group, including me, met again in the cafeteria, not to play mahjong of course, but to have a good chat. Although the battle was successful, the bad atmosphere could be felt by any idiot.

, it’s really inappropriate for us to continue to be separated like this.

But the embarrassing thing is that everyone had prepared at least a thousand words of lines, but when they met, they were embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Um, madman, you go first."

"No need, you should drive the spike first."

"Fat Tu, don't push me either, or else you go first."

"...I asked you, can you hurry up? Otherwise, I won't be able to answer the question."

In the end, I finally discovered the problem.

"Let's go first. None of the Iron Bulls are here. Where are the few missing people?!"

Only then did we realize that Tieniu, one of the key figures, had not arrived. We quickly answered the call, but found that his PCP could not be reached. We asked the rabbit in the same dormitory, and the answer he got was that he had not been back for two days. Speaking of which, it had been several days for me too.

I don’t see anyone else, what on earth is this guy doing?

As soon as the information was checked, people immediately panicked, stopped leaving the meeting, and dispersed their efforts to find it. How could it be that such a small piece of land could disappear out of thin air?

At this moment, my PCP rang, and everyone looked at me instantly.

I also thought it was from Tieniu, and I trembled with excitement before I pulled out the PCP, but when I took a closer look, it was a completely unfamiliar number, and I was immediately disappointed.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Haha, long time no see, Mr. Xiang, your tone is still so aggressive."

Xiang Yu is my pseudonym among the rebels and mercenaries. Now all my acquaintances in the rebels have basically turned into corpses. The only people who know this name should be mercenaries, but who is this guy?

I gestured to the others to be quiet.

"I'm sorry, my memory is a little bad recently. Can you answer my first question?"

"That's so sad. At least we had a drink."

The other party said politely but heartily that he was obviously an upper-class person who had received excellent etiquette training, but apart from the natural tycoon and Edith, I really can't remember having such a male friend.

Wait, what did he say? Had a drink.

"You are...Thank you, Sharif."

I said stumblingly, and then I remembered that I exchanged a few words with this young master when I was on a mission in Helsinki. However, too many things happened later, and this small episode was quickly forgotten.

"Yes, I haven't seen my friend for a long time. Oh, strictly speaking, it's not a meeting, haha."

The prince of the Zaravel family smiled in a friendly manner, but I was confused.

"This kind of thing should be done casually. People in the open don't say secret things."

"Okay, happy, let me tell you straight. Our group is very interested in your patented invention. We hope you can transfer it. Please give us a price."

"Wait a minute, you said patented invention refers to..."

"It's the deceleration device you installed in [Lavorkin]. I've seen the battle video. It's very effective. Several designers in the group also praised it, but I don't know what system it is used for."

I took a breath, this is too scary. It was less than four hours after our video was submitted. Not only did this guy have a copy in his hand, he also studied it carefully. This intelligence collection and processing ability... is worthy of being a master.

The best in business.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to know such an unpopular flaw, how amazing is it?"

I complimented him without thinking, which elicited a wry smile from the other person.

"It's not surprising. When I took the [Il] prototype to participate in the military test, my opponent was the Crassow family's [Lavorkin]. I happened to be lucky enough to witness the tragic landing failure of this model."

I habitually talk to each other at the same height. I almost forgot that the selection of second-generation aircraft was the competition between the Crassow family and the Zaravel family. As the main leader, how could Sharif not understand the enemy's aircraft models?

But even so, I still have problems in my heart.

"Isn't your [Il] without this problem? What's the point of buying this thing..."

I suddenly stopped talking because I remembered that each main model in service is the most confidential content of each major family. If there is a demand, there must be a problem. How can I explain it to an outsider like me.

So I immediately added:

"Oh, sorry if it's inconvenient."

But Sharif is far more outspoken than I thought, and he is not as outspoken as a businessman.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. It's been a long time since I discussed business with someone so straightforwardly. It feels good. Let's just say that. In fact, the maximum speed of the [Il] prototype is above Mach 3, which is no worse than the [Lavokin].

"

I was shocked, because after playing against [El] so many times, my impression of this model was that its overall performance was relatively balanced and its general-purpose performance was excellent. I never knew it had such powerful skills.

"Huh, but it's just a prototype. We are also facing a problem, that is, the scramjet engine equipped has poor performance at low speeds and often stalls. No matter how much we dare to change the structure, it cannot be solved. In the end, we had to change it to a low output

The small engine failed, and the speed dropped to just over Mach 2. But if this problem is solved, the Treaty Army's next order of high-speed interceptor mechas will definitely be guaranteed. Oh, of course, I will also give you a share when the time comes.

Bonus.”

I curled my lips, it was just a trivial matter, why should it be so exaggerated?

"We didn't develop any system, we just reused a few components, and we didn't even get a patent..."

My eyes widened before I finished speaking, because Captain Korninov had quietly placed a patent card in front of me. The date showed three weeks ago, that is, when we were still here.

It was done in Moscow.

This guy is so scary!
