There are many kinds of things that can kill, as small as a pen, a delicate cut of the mountain and the ground, the sea is dry and rotten, but there are always some things that belong to the professional category, more efficient, and firearms are undoubtedly the most historical and familiar one of them. （

The main guns of the battleship are the most powerful, but this thing is too expensive, which means that it is extremely expensive and extremely massive. Magnolia had seen a cow man in the barracks directly holding Darling's rotating machine gun to strafe the four fields, but she had never seen anyone dare to hit the idea of the main gun of a battleship. The Darling cannon is mainly installed on M series mechs and helicopters, but there are still cattle people who can carry it on their shoulders, but no matter how strong a human being is, he is only as weak as an ant in front of the main gun of a battleship.

The scaled-down version of the Light weapon that the Federation has spent years developing has the power and convenience of a machine gun that cannot be matched, but it has become more expensive, more sophisticated, and more fragile as it has become more miniaturized. Magnolia has always believed that what is used to kill people on the battlefield is too precise to mean that the failure rate is too high and not trustworthy.

So these days he and Xu Le are studying together, or the most often used mechanical guns in the federal military, the main practice is the H series of guns, this is the most common series of firearms, this series of firearms has no too prominent advantages, but there are no fatal shortcomings, Magnolia chose them The main reason is that these guns are very reliable, very reliable, membrane lubrication and low-level tie rod unpretentious design, by no means gorgeous appearance, simple and not simple but some clumsy mechanical structure, so that the possibility of accidents in these guns is minimized。

As an excellent military secretary, Bai Le is Xu Le's teacher in shooting training, and he has very full qualifications.

Although he could unload the most complex 2126 long sniper into a pile of well-placed parts in eleven seconds, he didn't ask Xu Le to do the same. It's good to be familiar with the structure of the gun, and if you dismantle it, even if you create an official record for the federal army, you are just a skilled gunsmith, and what Xu Le needs to master most now is how to use a gun and kill people with a gun.

Xu Le's learning progress is very fast, so fast that Secretary Bai sometimes inevitably sighs and sighs, more than ten days have passed, he watched Xu Le from a beginner who knew nothing about firearms, to the current appearance, thinking of the pain and torture in the new barracks at the age of fifteen, he couldn't help but give birth to a faint sense of vicissitudes, thinking that his little boss was born to be a soldier.

It's just that this emotion has been well hidden by that supple and quiet appearance, he looked at the firearm spitting tongue of fire in Xu Le's hand through the goggles, and said, "Relax your wrist a little more." ”

In the underground firing room of the armory, there was a lot of gunfire, and the conversation between the two men could only be carried out by ear. After the gunfire subsided, the results of the round of shooting were displayed on the light screen. Magnolia took off her goggles and glanced at the bounce point, and nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Le took off the headphones, looked at them seriously, smiled, didn't say anything, and then began to lower his head and assemble the components with a metallic luster in front of him, the movements between his fingers were not fast, but they were extremely stable, and every step was done extremely well, and it took about a minute to successfully assemble a firearm about forty CMM long and a half long.

Magnolia watched him move in silence. Suddenly, I understood why Xu Le was able to learn so quickly.

He'd seen a lot of gun-loving guys. But those people have a somewhat skewed attitude towards guns. I like to use the word "playing with guns" to describe my hobby. But Xu Le is different. For Xu Le. A gun is a tool for killing.

Use your guns well. In addition to overcoming the initial rustiness and the natural fear of weapons that are beyond the capacity of one's own body. All that remains is a superficial and sensory understanding of the technical parameters of the firearm. Be aware of your own physical abilities. Then gradually master the sense of rhythm and accuracy. And the most important thing is the quality. It's calm. Except to be calm or calm.

Once you get in touch with something in the professional field. Xu Le will work hard to learn with an open mind. The mechanic's natural calmness will take over his entire body. And he has a pair of eyes that can find holes in the fine lines. has the strong control that Uncle Feng Yu thrashed out. Plus his body is filled with every cellular power. He already had all the prerequisites to use his guns well. In addition, Magnolia is such an excellent professional soldier who has built it with his heart. Nature's progress is rapid.

watched Xu Le walk into the training room. Secretary Bai put the headphones back on. Silently looking at the ground parameter feedback on the light screen. Those parameters represent that Xu Le is moving in a small space that is set to be difficult. Dodging systematic obstacles. Shooting is carried out in rapid progress.

Click. Click. Magnolia frowned as she heard the sound of bullets shooting in her ears. Press your finger on the desktop. With each pull of the trigger and a tap. Palo lightly self-shot turned off the single mode. The rate of fire can reach two hundred and eighty per minute. Xu Le's shooting frequency was well controlled at this time.

The crisp and intermittent echoes of gunfire are much attenuated in the headphones, and those rhythmic sounds are like lullaby. Bai Yulan knew that Xu Le had mastered the main points of today's training, and her spirit relaxed, and she gradually closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep, thinking about many other things in her heart.

He didn't know what was going on in the clubhouse behind Charter Square, but he knew that since that day, Xu Le's mentality seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, but these changes were hidden behind his usual smiling face and ordinary face, and there was nowhere to find it. Magnolia had been suspicious of Xu Le's true purpose in learning firearms, and even vaguely guessed something, but she couldn't believe it, so she didn't let that guess continue, but all in all, with Xu Le using firearms

Cooked, the combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and Magnolia's mood is getting more and more

He didn't plan to ask anything, because Xu Le, the little boss, gave him 20 million, and he, the secretary, never seemed to show any effect, whether it was facing danger or the test of the MX new mecha, in the end it was Xu Le who solved the problem himself. Magnolia wants to be worthy of the 20 million he takes, so he tried his best to teach Xu Le, staring at Xu Le silently, and only hoped that his financier would not be confused.

......

......

In the midst of the boring and depressing training in the underground armory of the Whitewater Company, time passed day by day, and the sixty-seventh year of the Xian calendar came to the last day.

The majority of the people of the Union are forgetful, and by this time most have turned their attention to the presidential inauguration ceremony that will take place in January, and have forgotten so much about the turmoil that has arisen recently. Just one day this month, the Federal Election Commission finally confirmed the victory of Pabul MP, a victory for which there was no real rival, but the 62 percent of the vote was counted to justify the new president.

In anticipation of the arrival of the new leader of the Federation, in accordance with the usual tradition, and the deliberate or unintentional welcome of the board of directors behind the public and private media, the news and propaganda machine of the Federation has been mobilized and has begun to carry out image bombardment day and night, from President Pabul's experience in the army, to his lawyer's license from the night school of miners in the Donglin Region, to his public interest litigation with several well-known large federal enterprises, and last year's his relationship with Qinglongshan** With the great reconciliation agreement reached by the military, countless documentaries broadcast on television, and Mr. Pabur, who had been too silent for months, finally stood in the spotlight of tens of billions of federal eyes once again.

The strikes in the four states around the mountains, which spread from the university town of Linhai Prefecture to the student demonstrations in the federal districts, have long since subsided under pressure from the federal government and the persuasion of the Medellín parliamentarians. After Governor Ross and Congressman Medellín withdrew from the presidential election, they went to great lengths to call on their supporters to vote for Pabul, but they seem to be more interested in next year's Nebula Peace Prize.

On the evening of 31 December, Xu Le returned from a dinner at the compound of the Ministry of National Defense in Xishan. He didn't have any friends in the city, and Zou Liuhuo's father still filled in his name, so it seemed natural for him to go to Zou's house for dinner when welcoming the New Year, but if it wasn't for Minister Zou calling him to go, he would definitely not go.

At the dinner, Mrs. Zou still whispered that the wedding should be held as much as possible, and after the dinner, Minister Zou had a conversation with him in the study.

After leaving the study, Xu Le sat in Zou Yu's bedroom for a while, and the young and beautiful girl didn't say anything to him, just looked at him quietly with a hint of worry, telling him to be careful in everything and not to be too impulsive.

After all, they are friends who have lived together under the same roof for a long time, Zou Yu can see something from Xu Le's calm during this time, although he doesn't know what Xu Ledi's ultimate purpose is, but the string in her heart suddenly trembled, so she said those words. After hearing this, Xu Le was slightly stunned, and then shook his head with a smile.

Repeating the ten postures taught to him by the uncle seven times seriously, and squatting for half an hour, the power in the body that had not had a chance to explode for a long time was mobilized to the whole body, and carefully tasted it, until the muscles were sore, sweating profusely, and every pair of muscle fibers were shouting tiredness, Xu Le stopped and went to take a cold shower.

Dressed in a gray-green round-necked short-sleeved shirt, he stood on the terrace of the Wangdu apartment, wiping his wet hair while looking at the lights of the city in front of him. Ever since the power in his body crept under his skin and merged with his own body, he had rarely felt cold, and even though it was a cold winter and there was no end of snow in the world, he still wore very little.

Taking a deep breath of the cold wind on the terrace, Xu Le felt refreshed, and subconsciously looked at the old vine of the creeper on the ground on the left hand window, the green leaves turned red, and the red leaves gradually fell, and on the last day of the sixty-seventh year of the Xian calendar, there was no embellishment on the old vine, and it was bare and extremely clean.

At this moment, a phone that he had been waiting for for many days rang, and after listening quietly for a while, a look of joy came to his face.

Li Wei, who was far away in Bermuda, had been found by the people of the Xilin Military Region and was under protection, this news made Xu Le feel relaxed for the first time in these days, and he said very sincerely: "Mrs. Zhong, thank you. ”

"You're welcome, thanks to you for taking care of the fireworks all the way. Mrs. Zhong said with a smile on the other end of the phone, and her laughter was very clear.

Probably when Mrs. decided to send Levi to the Bermuda Triangle Star Domain, she just wanted to use this as a condition, so she didn't embarrass that guy much, but Mrs. was wise and worried, and she probably didn't expect that Xu Le, this guy, would be able to persuade the Xilin Zhong family to come forward to get people for him.

In the scattered and barren but deformed and prosperous place of the Bermuda Triangle Star Field, only the Zhong family has enough confidence to make such a move under the nose of the family.

"Fireworks and her father are talking, it's not very convenient, and when you have the opportunity later, let her talk to you. Mrs. Zhong added.

Xu Le was stunned, and it took two seconds to understand that Mrs. Zhong was talking about the little girl, but in his memory, the quiet, well-behaved and amiable little girl would always be called Little Watermelon, not Zhong Yanhua.

There are some deeper meanings hidden in Mrs. Zhong's words, and Xu Le heard it

He didn't care much, and replied with a smile: "Let's talk about it when I have a chance, I probably forgot who I am." ”

Mrs. Zhong smiled and didn't say anything more. Xu Le wished their family a happy New Year on the phone, expressed his gratitude again, and then hung up the phone.

After the phone call ended, Mrs. Zhong, who was located in Qixia Prefecture, looked at her husband and daughter by the fireplace not far away, thinking of the news reported by Colonel Lake, and the colonel's suspicion of Xu Le's name, but then thinking that the family of three had not been reunited for a long time, and in this New Year's season, it was really not suitable to talk about these problems, and I only hoped that the gangster named Li Wei'er, who helped Xu Le find it back this time, would not bring any big trouble.

On the terrace of Wangdu Apartment, thousands of kilometers away, after Xu Le hung up the phone, he was thinking about the side matter, Li Wei's safety was guaranteed, but he owed the Zhong family a great affection, and after escaping from Donglin, he already owed Jian Shui'er a life, and now he owes the Zhong family......

When answering the phone, Xu Le naturally stopped wiping his head, and as soon as the cold night wind blew, the water splash on the black silk condensed into slightly white ice particles, and was dusted off by the towel, falling like a pearl, with a slight crisp sound, scattered on the terrace, and then fell to the terrace.

With a burst of fireworks, fireworks bloomed in the sky, bright and bright bloomed in the cold night sky, and the sound of the countdown to welcome the New Year on TV has been transformed into a cheer, and the sixty-eighth year of the Xian calendar has suddenly arrived.

Xu Le smiled happily, looking at the beautiful fireworks in the night sky, he naturally thought of the bell tower a year ago, but then he thought of the concert after the bell tower, and the smile on his face gradually calmed down.

When he was reading books in the library of Hexi State University, Xu Le knew that he could not have any interest in philosophy, his intestines did bend like ordinary people, but the way he thought about problems always seemed too direct, like the self-speculation in that dream, which probably would never appear again in his future life. This man is obviously a stone, but he has to be covered with several layers of wet vicissitudes, which is really a very discordant thing.

"The only obligation I have the right to bear is to do what I think is right at all times. ”

In the midst of the fireworks in the sky, Xu Le thought of Uncle Feng Yu's drunken nonsense on the first day of the new year, he sighed softly, put his hands on the railing of the terrace, looked into the distance, and the metallic bracelet on his wrist reflected the brilliance of the sky, but covered up those subtle words.

......

......

The chronology of the Federation has always been based on the S11 region of the capital circle as the standard, so although the four states of the northern hemisphere of S2 are neither summer nor autumn, they can only spend the New Year with the center of the Federation, which does not conform to the concept of astronomy, although it makes many astronomers feel ridiculous, but it has been maintained for so many years, and people have long been accustomed to it.

As the most prestigious intelligence organization in the universe, in the 67th year of the Xian calendar, in this series of dazzling turmoil, it did not show its due ability, on the contrary, the ** army of Qinglong Mountain has become a victim and joke of dividing the interests of the upper class of the federation and compromising with each other.

Zhang Xiaomeng, who was evacuated from S11 urgently, now leads a node intelligence team, and to this day, she still thinks that she shouldn't have left at that time, although it may be more dangerous, but after she left, the Federation had a reason to stop the hearing, and all the work done in the early stage fell into passivity.

There was no New Year's atmosphere in the dark room, only the primitive telegraph sounded, ticking and ticking, somewhat dull and boring. Just like Magnolia's attitude towards firearms, the leader of the ** military intelligence organization also trusts the primitive and reliable way, although the Charter Bureau is bound by the First Charter and maintains neutrality in the war between the federal government and the ** army, but the electronic surveillance of the Federal Government Investigation Agency is also a very formidable enemy.

Zhang Xiaomeng squinted his eyes, combed through the countless intelligence fragments from S11, and then extracted the objects that needed attention, carried out primary decryption, and then re-encrypted, and then transmitted to the higher-level intelligence transfer station through secret channels.

On the first day of the 68th year of the Constitutional Calendar, the Central Committee of the ** Army was about to get rid of Commissioner Medellin, and he was also in charge of intelligence work, and he was also subjected to unprecedented accusations and pressure, a total of more than 300 intelligence officers, at this time, they were trying to contact the spies lurking in S11, and they needed a very important intelligence.

At the place where all the intelligence converged, in a camp tent in the mountains, the intelligence leader of the ** army, with a heavy and tired expression, instructed his subordinates: "Let the deepest sea fish also move, and grasp his itinerary as soon as possible." ”

......

......

On January 4, the 68th year of the Xian calendar, a cargo spaceship from S11, with a jet of air, blew away countless tons of leaves, and landed somewhat clumsily and slowly at the largest industrial airport in the four states around the mountains.

Half an hour later, two men in gray overalls, sitting on a self-propelled truck, walked deeper into the airport, whether it was the airport's internal identity authority scanning system or federal electronic surveillance, both recognized or ignored the access rights and identities of these two people.

In the depths of the dark warehouse, one of them stretched out his right hand from his pocket, took out a hat from his bosom, put it on top of his head, and pressed the brim down like a mountain on the eyebrows and squinted eyes like knives.
