There is no **, so it is strong, there is no bad thing, and the half-afraid cold wind beats on the iron door, and you can also sleep peacefully. The mother and daughter who are now in the Army General Hospital may be pitiful, but this has nothing to do with Xu Le, and it can even be said that his role in this matter is very commendable.

The general on the sofa knew this very well, so it stands to reason that Xu Le should not feel any nervousness and depression in the face of 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 of this large and somewhat simple room still made him nervous.

It's a little like the feeling I had when I first saw Mrs. Tai in Mochou Mountain that day, but today this feeling is more real and real. Sitting on the sofa, the general's hair was gray, and he looked not angry but powerful in the Yunhou Hotel, a place full of military atmosphere.

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

But the vice minister Zou in the sofa is different.

At the beginning of the year, in the assassination incident at the Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium, Vice Minister Yang Jinsong committed suicide and died. It is really difficult to be respected in a place like the federal military where seniority is sought, but after just over half a year, he began to calmly exert his influence in the army, and the ability of this general under the silent appearance can be seen.

The problem now is that everyone knows that after this year's presidential election, it will be Pabul who will succeed in being elected president. The man in the couch would become the Minister of Defense. It's just that there is one less Yu, unless the big war starts, and the president puts on that marshal's uniform. He was to become the nominal supreme head of the federal military... One

Xu Le stood quietly in front of Zou Yingxing, who seemed to be dealing with an urgent document, or just wanted to dry the young man out of the air. No matter what kind of intention it was, Xu Le didn't care, he just took advantage of this quiet time to observe the other party. Calm yourself down.

Standing in front of the first person in the future federal military, everyone will be a little nervous.

More than ten years ago. The Federation Expeditionary Force conquered a resource planet in the Empire, and an earth-shattering explosion destroyed the hopes of the Expeditionary Force, and the Federation soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Supply is difficult, and at the dangerous juncture of the Empire's counterattack, there is a danger that the entire army may be destroyed at any time. At this time, Zou Yingxing, who was only the interim director of the logistics department of the joint operations force at that time, took the risk of going to court and forcefully 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 remnants of the expeditionary force on the surface of the planet were left behind to organize an effective defense capability. Precious time was bought for the final withdrawal of the whole army.

Xu Le recalled the resume of the general in front of him in his heart. That resolute order was issued, which made Zou Yingxing in the hearts of the group of old people in the federal military. There was a location.

However, after all, this person is a technical 7 born and has been working in the final assembly base for many years. He has not commanded a large-scale battle alone as the main 7 on the front line, which should be regarded as the biggest weakness of the opponent's promotion to the post of defense minister.

Just when Xu Le lowered his head and thought, the general on the sofa finally raised his head, he rubbed his eyes that were a little astringent, and said flatly: "Sit down."

In the afternoon, President Sieg is going to come over to hear the report of the joint meeting, and I have to review it first. ”

This sentence probably shows Vice Minister Zou's attitude, I didn't mean to hang you. With his current position, he didn't need to explain anything to Xu Le, but he did, and that set the tone of today's conversation.

Xu Le nodded, found a chair next to him and sat down. Vice Minister Zou put his glasses on the table and said with a smile: "When I was on the ground in the fleet, the military doctors advised me to have laser surgery to cure my eyes, but I didn't agree, and now it seems that I am still a little prescient. ”

Xu Le understood what he meant. At the beginning, 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 have been treated have gradually returned to their original level, and even deteriorated a little.

He didn't understand why the other party was talking to him about this, and if it was about Zhizhi, the deputy minister of defense should have a better person to talk to.

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

Zou Yingxing sat on the sofa and quietly looked at the young man with an ordinary face in front of him. The use of shipborne light energy weapons is becoming more and more economical, and the research on individual light energy weapons is even more fruitless. The universe as we know it simply can't provide so many resources. ”

Xu Le listened quietly.

"When did the Federation mecha first appear*

"Many years ago. ”

"When is the army officially equipped?"

"Four before the constitutional calendar. ”

"You're right," Vice Minister Zou looked at Xu Le and said slowly, "And the mecha really starts to play a role, and that's the Xianli era we live in." In this era, the Federation has more powerful enemies such as the Empire, and the combat mode of the army has changed from space warfare to landing operations, and mechs with absolute mobility will become more and more important. ”

Xu Le didn't expect that today's conversation at the Yunhou Hotel had nothing to do with Zou Yu at all, the father didn't seem to care that his daughter had just given birth to a child, but went straight to the point, mentioning the mecha, he vaguely understood why the other party wanted to see him.

"I just received a report that the Empire has accelerated the pace of development of new mechas. Zou Yingxing rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and said in a slightly worried voice

The glory of the Commonwealth's proud charter has ensured that no Imperial spy has been able to infiltrate the Commonwealth for decades, and perhaps the Bermuda Triangle has forgotten the people of their ancestral state for the sake of profit, but the Empire still believes in people of the same bloodline after all. But the universe is always so ingenious. The existence of Charter I allows every Federal citizen to have a chip hidden behind their necks, and with this alone, the Empire can prevent the infiltration of the best federal agents.

The Federation only knows that the Empire has accelerated the pace of mecha development. But he didn't know the direction of the other party's research and development, and it was impossible to get the structural design of the Imperial mecha.

"It's top-secret and I shouldn't have listened to it. Xu Le suddenly woke up and said.

Vice Minister Zou shook his head, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at him quietly,

said: "You already have long-term high-level authority for the Fruit Shell Engineering Department, and the Federation's new mecha seems to be in your hands. I must inform you of this information as soon as possible. ”

Xu Le knew that he was going to the Hong Kong capital, and it was impossible to hide it from the big guy in front of him, not to mention how many pairs of eyes the federal military had staring at that industrial park. Just talking about the relationship between the Tai family and Vice Minister Zou, the other party should be very clear about the important role he plays in it.

"Doubling the mobility of a military mech increases its usefulness in warfare tenfold. Vice Minister Zou stared at him with an oppressive gaze and said: "In the original design of Guohu, the maximum instantaneous power of the M × can be increased by four times compared with the existing M series, and you should be very confused about what this represents." ”

"I used to work in the final assembly base, and I had a lot of dealings with your husks. So it's clear how important this is, and in fact everyone in the military knows it. M × is a sharp blade in the future battle with the Empire. A big gun, this is something we've been waiting for all these years, and I hope you don't disappoint us. ”09“I◇

That's a simple sentence. But it pressed like a mountain. What Vice Minister Zou said naturally includes those frightening generals in the federal military, will 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 if the scientists from the Federal Academy of Sciences will participate in Zhizhi, I only care about the M ×. Vice Minister Zou looked at him coldly, "I am a soldier, as long as this mecha can be developed, whether it is the Ministry of Engineering or the Academy of Sciences, I will be grateful to him." ”

Xu Le didn't know how sincere the words of the general in front of him were, if it was true, there would be a trace of awe in his heart, there are many heroes in the Federation, especially in the army. This kind of iron-blooded soldier who does not care about his personal future and only thinks about the future of the Federation is actually a big gun that can provoke countless stars. He bowed his head, knowing that Zou Yu's father might not have known that he had done anything in the core data, but at today's meeting, the other party habitually began to knock and warn him not to have problems with such a big issue concerning the future of the Federation.

"I'll hurry. Xu Le raised his head and replied earnestly at the general's slightly tired face.

"You're still in the white water for the time being. Vice Minister Zou instructed: "The secretary will leave you a phone number in a while, and if you have any problems in the past few months, you can let him help with it." ”

After a slight pause, the Ministry of Defense boss squinted his eyes and said, "This is a confidential cause of the Federation, you can apply for a fund from the Ministry of Defense, and don't go to the Li family again." That family of merchants one by one"

The comment ends here, there are many inexhaustible meanings, Xu Le nodded slightly, sighed in his heart, knowing that from today onwards, he has truly become a soldier of the Federation.

He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is the joint meeting of the past two days related to the last terrorist attack on the stadium ※Is the Ministry of Defense preparing to restart the spring offensive that has been put on hold?

Vice Minister Zou's gaze swept across his face like a knife, and after a moment of silence, 1 head said, "It's not a pity that you should ask. ”

Xu Le gently pressed his mobile phone through his clothes, and suddenly said: "I think that incident was done by Councilor Medellín." ”

(Today 10,000 words are completed, my throat is smoking, I give my hand to everyone, I want a monthly pass, not far in front, I have ideas, I am too close in the back, I am afraid, oh, buy Ga... Brothers and sisters who have tickets in hand, support one or two. )

Vice Minister Zou raised his head.
