() In fact, although I am still labeled as the best recruit in the training group with 1.5 kills and four actual combat records, my kills are actually nothing compared to some of the big aces on the rankings.

It's not that bad, but these records are permanently buried in Volga Company's database. I have never wanted to dig them out, let alone include them in the overall record.

The reason is that these results are so bad.

On the one hand, these things were introduced by black intermediaries and were done behind everyone's backs. Thanks to this secret operation, although the reward I put on the wanted list of the Treaty Army is enough for me to spend in this life and the next life.

But so far I am still alive and well, and as long as I want to continue

As long as he continues to be healthy, he will not go back to touch these things; on the other hand, no matter what the purpose is, it is very disgraceful for an active military commander to work as a mercenary to make black money, so after rejecting Asimov's further offer

After entrusting it, I sincerely hoped that this matter would just go wrong.

The term "grey smile" is like a decryption program, a key or a button that opens these unpleasant memories.

I never expected that this term would be uttered from the mouth of an old man whom I met for less than ten seconds hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the place where I made my fortune. My reaction at the time was not only shock, but also extreme shock and extreme

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even think of a word to say. When I met those businessmen or military personnel from the Volga Company, I could have drawn my knife and asked them one by one first, but the question was whether the person in front of me was one of my own, or someone who was n levels higher than me.

Sir, you won't tolerate my misbehavior

The violent methods I had always used suddenly failed.

"It seems that the old cat finally did not deceive me, otherwise I would have to beat the shit out of him," the old man snorted, turned around and looked at me, and I saw that it was a picture similar to that of our university professor,

With a very serious face, "Let me introduce myself. I am Brigadier General Du Longfang, the director of the 715 Research Institute. This is the first time we meet."

Although I was still a little confused, I immediately followed the fixed procedure and stood at attention and saluted.

"Directly under the First Mechanized Training Regiment, training soldier, Second Lieutenant Chen Xiang."

After asking, I finally came back to my senses.

"That...sir..."

"Don't worry, only Chen Tianmin and Lao Mao know about this. I am the third one, so you are not notorious yet, Second Lieutenant. In the eyes of outsiders, you are still an excellent mecha soldier with good performance."

Du Longfang laughed sarcastically, but I really had no intention of talking back to him.

Old Mao knows that it is understandable, after all, this guy is my indispensable one-line contact for transmitting intelligence and data; General Chen Tianmin can also understand, after all, he is the highest commander of the Republic of China, and of course he has the right to know such a big thing. But in front of him

What's going on with this poisonous old man? It's obvious that there's nothing he can do about it.

"It's nothing strange. Lao Mao asked me to play mahjong last week. Hey, he asked a researcher to play this thing. He didn't know how this guy's head grew. He lost all his underwear in less than two hours, so I had to take yours.

After getting the information, I changed my clothes back, so I knew."

Being a human being is becoming more and more interesting. I am actually worse than a pair of underwear?

Damn it, I have to chop that bastard to death when I go back.

"I didn't expect that the mysterious intelligence agent who has been providing data to the research institute and the gray smile who is famous in the mercenary world are actually the same person. This world really knows how to joke."

"...You have discovered all this."

I replied casually, my mind kept racing, trying to figure out his purpose.

"That is to say, so far, you are the mecha soldier with the best record, technology and experience in the Republic. It can be said that compared to the aces of the Treaty Army and the Allied Army, you are on par with each other. So I want to ask you.

Evaluation of this mecha.”

It seemed that this uncle had no intention of pursuing my bad debt. My heart relaxed a little and I began to draw conclusions based on my own experience.

"The maneuverability is very good, the controllability is perfect at a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and it still has excellent controllability at a speed of 1,800 kilometers per hour; although it has not been fired with live ammunition, the avionics and fire control

The system is quite complete, far beyond the level of the Treaty Army, and on par with the Allied Forces. Mach 2.2

Although the speed is slower than [Lavokin] and [Il], it is only slightly faster than [Garand], but even the battles between aviation mechas rarely start at the maximum speed, and are basically controlled at

It’s about Mach 1, so this problem is not serious. It’s just that I feel that the machine body is relatively light, probably no more than 40 tons, and I don’t know if the protection is enough.”

"It feels very accurate, everything is right," the old man nodded, but his expression soon changed, "But I remember that I was asking for your evaluation, not asking you to memorize the lab report."

I cursed in my stomach, I only talk so much to you because I respect your stuff, otherwise you would think I like talking so much nonsense.

"It is considered an excellent product among the second-generation aviation mechas, and it can compete with similar models of the Allied Forces and Treaty Forces."

"Very good, Second Lieutenant, this is also the experimental conclusion we have reached." Du Longfang's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if covered with two pieces of glass, "It's a pity that thanks to you, this thing will die soon."

I was suddenly slapped with a big hat, and I couldn't help but be shocked.

"Holy shit, what do you mean?!"

Du Longfang snorted and slowly walked to my side.

"That's what I mean. Although it looks very good, this guy is designed to be an interceptor mecha. Do you understand what I mean? This bidding is already annoying enough, but you also come up with something for us."

The concept of "universal mecha" now needs to be redone. The time is only so short. We don't have enough manpower here. In addition, we have to undertake the research and development tasks of land combat mechas. Damn it, do you think so?

Are you forcing us to close our doors?!"

Du Longfang could remain calm at first, but later he almost cursed me, but without the curse words. I was also annoyed, can you blame me for this? Okay, although I am a bit

There is a selfish intention to take care of my friends, but I don't mean to cause harm.

"It's just thirty mechas. It's not like we'll outsource the entire project from now on."

I argued unconvinced.

"Second Lieutenant Chen, how long have you been in the Republican Army?"

Du Longfang suddenly asked another irrelevant question.

I felt very embarrassed immediately.

"To be precise, I just started messing around this week."

"Then it's no wonder you said such idiotic things."

"Holy shit, you..."

The technical brigadier waved his hand irritably, interrupting my angrily yelling, and spun around in circles with his hands behind his back.

"You know, Lieutenant, just like consumers in the civilian market, the military also has a large group of bastards who worship foreigners and favor foreigners, and this group is getting stronger and stronger with the continuous decline of our military's military technology this year, especially

Damn Lin's. Not only is the headquarters, but even the main industrial base is built in the Republic. To put it bluntly, it is a domestic product. However, in the past two years, the military has not only launched various missiles

, radars, multi-purpose transport vehicles and other equipment have been turned to Lin for procurement. Even the development rights of the next generation of officer pistols are planned to be handed over to Lin. It is simply unreasonable. It seems that arms labeled with the four major chaebols are guaranteed.

It's like top-quality goods. In the past two years, the proportion of Lin's weapons in the Republican Army has increased from 40% to 65%. If it continues, the army will become their Lin's private army!"

I'm a little confused, I'm not very familiar with these messy relationships.

"But isn't the Lin family a plutocrat of the Republic? There seems to be no problem in leaving it to them."

"Humph, as someone who has been in this business for fifty years, I have to give you some experience, Second Lieutenant. Not everyone who has the same face and speaks the same language as me will be loyal to their bloodline. In business,

In my eyes, interests always come first.”

"The accessories all look like this, not to mention the main equipment. You have also seen the land combat mecha we just developed. Its performance is not particularly outstanding, but at least it has highlights. However, it has been a year since its development.

Most of them, only Lao Sun and his men worked exhaustingly. The military personnel seemed to be dead, and not a single one came to inspect. They were all attracted by Lin's new machine."

Du Longfang's words are very fierce. I admit that he is like an old angry youth, but he is an old angry youth with extreme love for his career.

However, I always feel that the old man is making a fuss out of a molehill. Compared with these tortuous troubles, the most important thing at the moment is to increase the combat effectiveness of the Republic of Korea by any means necessary.

"That is to say, the military will take the opportunity to use the excellent performance of these 30 mechas as an excuse to introduce all-round purchased mechas and suppress the possibility of putting into production self-made mechas. However, even so, the military will definitely make a purchase while purchasing in large quantities.

Although it costs money to introduce production line requirements, it is also quite labor-saving.”

Du Longfang sneered.

"You are still too young after all. You don't even know that the so-called production line is just self-produced scraps, making a shell or something, and the core technology is covered up like something else. You haven't been trying for seven or eight years. Who can take it? Carefully

If you think about it, it’s actually more troublesome than doing it yourself, but it’s a pity that no one can see it.”

I was speechless. I vaguely guessed the intention of being called here.

"In other words, [Black Falcon] will also participate in this bidding?"

"Maybe it wouldn't have been called that name at that time, but that's the situation."

"So...you mean, let me try my best to help 715 win?"

"It's a must!"

Du Longfang suddenly turned around and looked directly at me with eyes filled with thunderous light.

"Institute 715 doesn't care how much money it can make or how much bonus it can get. If you want money, it doesn't matter if I give it all to you. But please also pay attention to the second lieutenant. Everything is for the sake of the Republic."

It felt like someone had thrown a bunch of banknotes in my face. It felt so humiliating and humiliating, but for the first time, I lost the power to refute.

Because I have a severe headache.

An hour later, I walked out of the institute tiredly. Because Duan was busy with work, he only had time to send me to a running jeep in the garage and left in a hurry.

"Hey, how was the talk?"

A very familiar and unheard voice sounded next to me, but I didn't even bother to look.

"Normal, let's go quickly."

The car started, and the old cat's voice seemed inexplicable.
