The Nutshell Engineering Department's first prototype MX mecha was silver-white in colour, so it was called 'Little White Flower'. This MX was black, so it was called 'Little Black Flower'. It sounded natural and natural, but there was really nothing new about it.
Jian Shui'er found that Xu Le's ability to come up with names was on a completely different level from the mecha repair ability he had displayed earlier and the mecha control ability he had displayed last night.
However, looking at this face full of black motor oil, looking at that mouth of ridiculously white teeth, looking at that pair of eyes that were not big but appeared exceptionally clear and sincere, without a single trace of impurity, Jian Shui'er narrowed her eyes. They were like the two crescent moons in the sky above the capital. She felt that at this moment, he really did look like a little black flower...
Using a classifier like 'flower', using a noun like 'flower' to describe a man, especially such an ordinary-looking young man, made Jian Shui'er feel slightly embarrassed when she woke up. Her eyes shifted slightly, and she changed the topic. Pointing at the enormous black mecha behind Xu Le, she asked, "This MX has been modified? Otherwise, how could it be so powerful? "
She shrugged a little embarrassedly and continued, "I only know that cars can be modified."
This sounded a little like the stage of finding topics to talk about before a date, but Xu Le was slightly taken aback, and then replied earnestly and honestly, "There were some minor modifications, but as for how it differs from the fitted MX, if I didn't learn this, I really can't say for sure."
This was the truth. In order to match Xu Le's control characteristics, Shang Qiu and the Nutshell Engineering Department had decisively abandoned most of the long-range fire control system of the little black flower. It was difficult to avoid any loopholes in the mecha's assembly system. Other than characters like Xu Le and Madman Li, even the best ace pilots of the Federal military would find it very difficult to get used to operating this little black flower. Some serious problems might even arise if they tried to operate it.
Hearing this honest statement, Jian Shui'er's expression was somewhat unnatural. She shrugged cutely and pursed her pink lips self-deprecatingly.
She grew up in the Lees of Philadelphia and was doted on by thousands of people at the age of twelve. Such a background and experience gave her a sense of pride in the Federation. However, this kind of pride had always been hidden deep in her bones, and she would never show it in front of ordinary people. However, although Xu Le wasn't familiar with her, they had been together for such a long time. Furthermore, he was her biological father, so he couldn't be considered an ordinary person.
From her point of view, Xu Le was clearly using the 'Enhanced Maneuver Platform'. Why did he have to hide it from her? He even said that it was some kind of 'simulation system'. Now that he could not explain it clearly, the proud national girl naturally did not want to continue asking …
"Yes, I thought you were still resting. You must have worked hard last night." Xu Le felt the change in Jian Shui 'er's mood. He nervously wiped the oil on his hands onto his overalls and asked.
Jian Shui'er came back to her senses. She didn't understand why she felt a little uneasy because of Xu Le's concealment. She rubbed her hair a little angrily, raised her small face and spread out her hands and said, "There are some things I want to ask you."
The two walked along the deep underground corridor and walked out of the warehouse. At this time, there were countless warships and military aircraft taking off at a high density in Luoqiu Airport. Most of the Federation soldiers were busy in a state of war, so no one paid attention to them. In the space, only the clear footsteps of the two people and the crisp sound of the wind chimes behind their butts could be heard.
"I always thought that I had been in channel 23 for too long, so everyone felt close to me. The script of the TV series was well written, and the character of the female captain was very cute … Other than that, I am just a very ordinary person. Other than being a little good-looking, there is nothing to be proud of."
Jian Shui'er was draped in a light blue Federal Fleet officer's uniform, with a soft light grey thin jacket inside. Her hands were clasped in front of her body, and her picturesque eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The tenderness in front of the girl's chest was squeezed more clearly by her arms.
Xu Le turned his head and looked at her. He was silent, but in his heart, he thought that for a girl to be as beautiful and moving as you, that was already her greatest strength.
"I don't even know how to wear clothes. You used to mock me." Jian Shui 'er stopped in her tracks. She crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at him seriously. "I'm not even very competent as a celebrity."
Xu Le thought of the concert stage last night. The girl's tight red dress that made the soldiers fall into a frenzy, and that dark uniform that couldn't be any shorter. He thought of the smoothness in the mecha and still remained silent, but in the depths of his heart, he whistled to express his amazement.
"In any case, I think we should all be very clear that I'm not some big shot."
Xu Le suddenly turned his head. The dim lights in the underground corridor shone on her beautiful face, making him suddenly have some strange thoughts. His eyes gradually narrowed, and he asked slowly, "What are you trying to say?"
"I don't understand." Jian Shui'er's eyes flashed with a puzzled but determined light. "Why did the Department of Defense use me as bait? Why did the Empire's people really come after me … Can you understand?"
"I can't. You're here too?" Xu Le looked at her and asked.
Jian Shui'er lowered her gaze and said softly, "Don't forget, I'm also a soldier."
Xu Le fell into silence. Jian Shui'er's puzzlement was actually also his puzzlement. Last night, he had been continuously killing until the early morning. During this rare time of leisure, this puzzlement had already made him feel extremely strange. He knew that he was just an insignificant part of the vast battlefield, and he didn't have the ability to guess the grand scheme of the Federation's government and military. However, the fact that Jian Shui'er was Uncle's daughter, in the end, made him feel uneasy.
He didn't know how the Military God made the judgment, why the Empire's people launched such a fierce attack as if they had taken an aphrodisiac. Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire gave a random order, and then the expeditionary army in the north used this matter to vent their anger?
It was hard to explain.
"Probably only Marshal Li knows about this matter." Xu Le looked at Jian Shui'er and said with a serious expression.
Jian Shui'er looked straight into his eyes and said, "If I ask the old man, do you think he will tell me?"
Xu Le shook his head.
She was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, "This … could it be related to that father of mine?"
Her father, her teacher, was a first-class wanted criminal of the Federation, the traitorous mechanic Yu Feng. In this war between the Federation and the Empire, it couldn't be ruled out that this background played a strange role. Just from the puzzlement in her heart, she was able to grasp certain things clearly like snow. It had to be said that the bloodline of the Lees of Philadelphia was indeed extraordinary.
Hearing this judgment, Xu Le's heart slightly tightened. After a moment of silence, he said, "I don't know … but I'll try my best to find out."
The investigation of this matter was too difficult. According to his judgment, if it really was Jian Shui'er's background that made the Military God Li Pifu draw up such an inconceivable plan, then this secret might not be known by anyone other than the Military God himself.
"Thank you." Jian Shui'er expressed her sincere gratitude.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
Xu Le's answer was very formal, but if one carefully listened to every word, it revealed the complicated yet simple, distant yet close relationship between him and the national girl in front of him, from Donglin to the West Woods.
"Did you see the news just now?"
"I saw it."
"Those two planets are under the absolute control of the Imperial expeditionary force. The Federation's electronic surveillance network didn't leave behind a single bit. The West Woods military is going to have a tough nut to crack this time. Those two planets are definitely more difficult than 5460." Jian Shui'er explained to him.
"It seems like Commander Zhong is personally commanding at the front line," Xu Le suddenly thought of something and looked at Jian Shui'er. He frowned and said, "Madman Li …"
"He must be there too." Jian Shui'er's beautiful brows slightly furrowed as she replied softly.
…
…
Originally, Xu Le thought that he was about to embark on a journey full of blood and smoke, so he didn't have time to rest. He was in a hurry to repair Little Black Flower's mecha, even ignoring the fact that Luoqiu Spaceport was severely lacking in standard MX mecha parts. However, after an entire day, the Federation's command center didn't give Xu Le any new tasks. They just let him rest in the spaceport.
The second day, there were still no orders. They just let him rest.
The third day was the same.
On this planet, the flames of war were everywhere. Every second, there were people dying. There were bombs blasting through rock formations, sending up clouds of dust. Luoqiu Spaceport was also absolutely busy. Even the six mecha operators with red eyes didn't have time to record his repair process. They were all transferred to the front line. However, he and Jian Shui'er had nothing to do. They were just idling 24 hours a day waiting for death. This kind of feeling was a little strange.
That night, after Xu Le conducted the third assembly test on Little Black Flower, he dragged his tired body back to his room. During the day, he had already contacted Bai Yulan and found out that Group 7 had followed the mobile battalion back to the base camp that night. They would probably have to wait at least until the current phase of the war ended before they could reach Luoqiu Spaceport by land.
Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Xu Le laid on his bed with his hands behind his head. He watched the Federation's news on the television in a daze.
The Federation Army's attack on planet 5460 was going smoothly. The battle on the other two planets was as fierce as expected. With the West Woods Military District as the main force, plus the 13 divisions of the 1st and 2nd Military District, a total of 73 divisions were all deployed on the two planets. However, under the crazy firepower of the Imperial expeditionary force, the Federation had only managed to establish seven bases on the surface. And they had paid a terrible price for it. The images broadcast through the news were all very heroic …
"It seems that the West Woods Tigers have really encountered a tough nut to crack this time."
Although Xu Le had never met the fierce man from the Zhong family, because of his wife and little watermelon, and because the man had stood up for him, he had a very inexplicable sense of closeness to him. Naturally, he didn't want anything to happen to this commander. As for the crazy war machine Madman Li, he wasn't worried at all.
