Li Feng put his hands behind his back. His military posture was perfect. His thick eyebrows were straight on his young face. He looked at the general in the leather chair and thought of the recent events and the rumors from the capital ring. His expression naturally became a little gloomy.
Whether it was the people of the Federation or the Empire, every time they thought of the West Woods Skinny Tiger, they would always think of arrogant, cold-blooded, and terrifying. But very few people would think that behind the glory represented by the dark-colored military uniform, the number one military and political figure in the West Woods bore an unbearable pressure that ordinary people could not bear. Even the bones of the tiger seemed to creak under the pressure.
Li Feng could feel it. He grew up in the front line of the West Woods. The courtyard in Weier Road was like his second home. He knew very well how the politicians and civilians of the capital ring felt about the West Woods Region. Historically speaking, the three prosperous planets in the Upper Woods Region had never really treated the West Woods Region as an equal partner. The Federation government had always been secretly vigilant against the existence of the Zhong family.
This time, the Federation launched a clean-up operation against the Imperial expeditionary force. The current master of the Zhong family, who had been fighting the Empire alone for more than ten years, naturally became the commander-in-chief of the frontline. However, the pressure from the Parliament and the military had always been with him.
The upper echelons of the Federation knew about the problem between Commander Zhong and Du Shaoqing, but they forcibly resisted the cold suppression of the tiger and sent Du Shaoqing's Iron Seventh Division to the frontline. When Commander Du Shaoqing, wearing sunglasses, stood on the Yellow Mountain, the pressure became more and more real, urgent, and heavy.
Many people in the army still remembered that in the military operation on Base 5460, two senior officers of the West Woods Military Region were directly arrested and brought back to the capital ring for trial because they failed to rescue the Iron Seventh Division. What did this mean?
During this period of time after the military operation began, the Iron Seventh Division led by Du Shaoqing fought like a whirlwind on Base 5460. Their morale soared to the sky, and they won a series of invigorating victories. Although he was only a major general on the battlefield, and the Iron Seventh Division was only a part of the enormous war machine, he had already become a hero and idol in the hearts of the Federation citizens under the full power of the Federation propaganda machine.
In stark contrast, Commander Zhong, who was in charge of this military plan with more than a hundred majestic soldiers in his hands, seemed to be a little silent. Although he was the commander-in-chief, there were always some problems when one side was losing and the other side was gaining.
In many people's eyes, every time Du Shaoqing and his Iron Seventh Division won a beautiful victory on planet 5460, the West Woods Tigers would feel a little more pressure and look a little more embarrassed.
Li Feng was an excellent professional officer. He had no objections to Du Shaoqing, but he had a natural resistance to this kind of shadow behind the spicy battlefield. What made him feel a little surprised was that the powerful and high-ranking man in the chair seemed to be calm, so calm that it was somewhat unfathomable.
"Commander …" Li Feng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
Zhong Shouhu lowered his gaze slightly, and a trace of gratification flashed across his face that was as calm as the eternally unchanging galaxy. He said, "This is my private study."
"Yes." Li Feng raised his head and said solemnly, "Uncle Zhong, I want to talk to my family."
His family was the Lees of Philadelphia. The old man, who had been watching the snowy mountains by the lake for more than ten years, had not spoken about specific matters of the Federal military for a long time, except when he entered Allure Prison to meet a certain young man.
If Li Feng wanted to talk to his family, it would naturally be to talk to this old man. No matter how much the politicians of the capital ring or the military feared the Zhong family of the West Woods, as long as the old man stood out and expressed his attitude, all the pressure would most likely disappear for a while.
After the Federation wiped out the Imperial expeditionary force, it was inevitable that they would counterattack the Empire through the two warp tunnels. During such a tense war, Li Feng believed that his grandfather would not want to see problems within the Federation, and would be willing to stand out and make the Federation more united.
Hearing this, Zhong Shouhu narrowed his eyes slightly, and two complicated and inexplicable cold lights shone out. No one knew what he thought, but in the end, this emotion turned into a smile.
He looked at the young lieutenant colonel in front of him and smiled slightly. He thought of the scene many years ago when this child, who had just turned twelve years old, came to the West Woods with a face full of tears. He knew that the young man had good intentions, but …
"Don't forget your own identity." Zhong Shouhu's expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "You're an officer of a military region. These things are not up to you to speak."
Li Feng stubbornly held his head high. Although he did not know why this uncle, whom he respected greatly, would not accept his good intentions, he was not willing to back down.
"Keep some distance from me, little guy," Zhong Shouhu said coldly. Zhong Suohu replied with a cold expression, "I don't want Li Zaidao calling me every day to bother me. You're his son, not mine."
Li Feng pursed his lips and held his head high. The veins on his neck, which was as tense as a mountain rock, occasionally popped out. He seemed to be angry at these words.
Zhong Shouhu did not care about the young man's beautiful sadness and worry. He closed his eyes slightly and naturally changed the topic to another very interesting topic.
"In the past, the Federation did not have the habit of grading machine control standards. Only the Empire has … the army started to learn from them and started grading. That was a strange habit that started from the Second Military Academy about 20 years ago. I don't know if it has anything to do with that traitorous mechanic. However, I have to admit that this entire grading system is indeed somewhat useful for evaluating the strength of mecha warriors like you. "
"You passed level 6 a few years ago. It is said that the Empire's princess was even younger than you when she passed level 6."
Zhong Shouhu looked at him with a strange smile and said, "At the latest next year, the Federation forces will appear at the Kaki Corridor. The war will start in the Empire's homeland. You will definitely have the chance to meet this princess. Do you have any expectations?"
For the Imperial expeditionary force and the special pilots who had infiltrated the Bermuda mineral star, the powerful and violent young lieutenant colonel Madman Li was their eternal shadow. Fortunately, the Empire also had a talented young person, and that was their powerful princess.
The Empire's royal family naturally would not let the young girl go into battle to kill the enemy, but their propaganda machine kept promoting the strength of this princess. Many soldiers and civilians of the Federation still remembered that when the Empire's negotiation team came a few years ago, the Empire's officials would tremble with excitement every time the princess was mentioned. It was as if they had been injected with stimulants, and they clamored for a war with the Federation …
The Federation had Li Feng, and the Empire had the princess. Once these two talented young people met on the battlefield, no one knew what kind of dazzling brilliance would erupt. Even with Zhong Shouhu's status and shrewdness, he could not help but be curious.
However, after thinking about it seriously for a long time, Li Feng shook his head.
"The genius princess's royal title is Su Meng. No one knows what her alias is in the Empire's military department, which unit she is in, what position she holds … but I think her surname should be Huai."
Zhong Shouhu said indifferently, "According to the news from Bermuda, this princess is not the product of another Empire's god-making campaign."
"She is like you, young, but very strong. She is even stronger than we thought."
"The entire universe sees her as your lifelong enemy. It is not an insult to you."
"But she is still a woman."
Li Feng replied firmly, "Women will be women. Their name is the weak."
Zhong Shouhu was slightly taken aback. He picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. He sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "When you get married, you will know how terrifying women are."
Li Feng could not understand the middle-aged man's meaning behind these words. After a pause, he said seriously, "Perhaps this Princess Su Meng is very strong, even stronger than me. But a battlefield is a battlefield. I do not expect to have a fair fight with her."
"If it really becomes a mecha battle, the Empire only has her. The Federation has me … and Xu Le."
"She will lose."
…
…
"I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of Xu Le."
"Although I hate this guy, I have to admit that he is very talented in mecha."
"I am very curious about his relationship with your family."
"Sorry, Uncle Zhong."
Zhong Shouhu smiled and did not ask any more questions. Li Feng frowned and asked curiously, "Uncle Zhong, I want to know what level you are. What is the level of Colonel Tian that I have never seen before? Grandfather and father mentioned you two in the Feicheng family. They said that you two are stronger than me, but I did not believe it. "
In the end, Madman Li was still Madman Li. Even in the face of the Celestial Forest Tiger, who was close and powerful to him, he did not hesitate to declare his undisguised ambition for certain territories.
"I don't need to mention it. As for Mr. Tian, his level is definitely not as high as yours. But if you are really thrown on a planet for more than a hundred days, I think the one who will survive in the end will be him and not you. "
"Why?" Li Feng asked, puzzled.
"Because he is much more shameless than you. And in order to survive, this kind of shamelessness is often required." Zhong Shouhu said emotionally, "That fatty you are curious about is the most shameless and lowly person I have ever seen in my life. He is full of petty tricks, but he is definitely not a genius with great wisdom."
Li Feng was silent. He thought to himself, for Zhong Shouhu of the West Woods to have such an evaluation, what kind of existence must that Colonel Tian be?
"This time, I transferred you back from the surface to let you return to the main planet to rest for a while." Zhong Shouhu looked at the young lieutenant colonel in front of him with a gentle gaze. "The Federation can't endlessly exploit a kid like you. Minors need to be protected. It's just that other than Chief Judge He Ying, no one dares to question your grandfather's decision."
"I can hold on. I don't need to rest."
"I am going back to Sun Province soon. What are you still doing on this stupid planet?"
