"If the mountain is not mine, I will be the mountain."

Qin Tong murmured these words while watching Ji Xinghe wear armor.

He had discussed Ji Xinghe's combat effectiveness level with Harris half a day ago, but his inner emotions at this time were actually very complicated.

There are worries, expectations, envy, fears, reverence, and helplessness...

It is really difficult to express all kinds of emotions clearly in three or five sentences.

"Major Qin Tong, do you have any questions?"

Chen Xun is also watching Ji Xinghe's armor-piercing. He doesn't have any tasks now, because after the armor-piercing, Ji Xinghe still needs to undergo actual machine testing, and the base is familiar with this brand-new mecha.

Qin Tong shook his head slightly. His mecha engine had been replaced. He should have left the base immediately to fight in the dust storm, but he didn't want to leave for some reason.

Chen Xun was thoughtful, and suddenly looked at Qin Tong with strange eyes, and said softly: "Actually, as long as you open your mouth, I will be willing to teach you."

Qin Tong was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to expect that Chen Xun could guess his thoughts, but he thought that Chen Xun had been a staff consultant for a long time and managed various affairs, large and small, within the No. 6 base. Various people also

Not too surprising.

"Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun, do you know what they were saying to Ji Xinghe when I first met him?"

Chen Xun knew the relevant information about Ji Xinghe very well, but some of the inside information was not clear.

"Are you talking about the time when you carried out an orbital airborne combat mission and destroyed a Count mecha?"

"Yes."

"You can say whatever you want to say, we still have time." Chen Xun's words meant something, but Qin Tong didn't hear it.

Qin Tong opened the conversation.

"At that time, Major Landers wanted to talk to Ji Xinghe about the strength of the Imperial Noble Mecha, but he was overtaken by Major Jackson. Well, Jackson was a major like me at the time. He is now a colonel, and I am still a major.

.”

After a pause for two seconds, he continued.

"Jackson said that special mecha warriors like ours can defeat count-level imperial mechas in a two-on-one situation, while marquis-level and duke-level imperial mechas are equivalent to our ace mecha warriors.

.”

"In the end, Landers died in that battle. If it weren't for Ji Xinghe, the Imperial Earl would have definitely been able to escape. Afterwards, I watched Ji Xinghe's battle record video, and he was driving a mecha that was much worse than ours.

The mecha hit the imperial earl who had no power to fight back."

"Many people say that it is because of the pressure brought by Major Jackson's support. I thought so before. But I just chatted with Harris, and then I figured out a question. In fact, was there Jackson at the time?

The support from the major makes no difference, even if there is a one-on-one fight between Ji Xinghe and that imperial earl, the one who survives will definitely be Ji Xinghe."

Chen Xun listened quietly, knowing that Qin Tong was not telling him a story now, but trying to convince himself.

Qin Tong took a deep breath.

"Ji Xinghe is very strong. In the past, his strength was only limited by the performance of the mecha. Just like me, if I had my own mecha, I would be able to defeat the earl-level imperial mecha, but facing the Marquis

I can't guarantee the stability of Duke-level Imperial mechas. No, I don't even need Duke-level mechas. I can't even defeat Marquis-level mechas, even if I have my own exclusive mecha."

Qin Tong looked at Chen Xun and asked seriously: "But...why can Jackson beat it? Can Han Li beat it? But before, they were all special-level like me."

Chen Xun was not a mecha warrior, so he couldn't answer this question, but he looked at Qin Tong's expectant expression and answered seriously.

"Because they all learned from Lao Ji."

The tone is very serious, but the answer is actually not serious, it is a bit like a joke.

So Qin Tong argued: "But my combat experience is much richer than Ji Xinghe's. I have received the most professional mecha operation training and have the best instructors in the world. My physical fitness is better than Ji Xinghe's, and my physical fitness is better than Ji Xinghe's.

Much taller than him, I am younger than him, and my reaction speed is faster than his, why, he can teach Jackson, teach Han Li, can... teach me?"

Chen Xun pondered for a moment, and his ulterior answer had no words so far.

Because what Qin Tong said makes sense. No matter from any aspect, Ji Xinghe, who became a monk halfway, is not qualified to be Qin Tong's teacher, or even Jackson's teacher. The so-called Han Li learned a lot from Ji Xinghe, but

It's just a 'lie' that Han Li will not refute personally.

I feel sorry for you, Comrade Xiao Han.

"Someone said something to me. I think it's very good. You can listen to it or not believe it."

Chen Xun thought of some of the words Su He had said to him when he contacted him a few days ago. Among them, the one that moved him the most was said to Qin Tong in a calm tone.

"In every era, there are some amazing and talented people. Like the wind, they rise from the grass and achieve in the grass. They use the ordinary past to shape the extraordinary present and write legends about the future.

.”

Fortunately, Qin Tong is also from Longzhou. If he had been replaced by Harris or Jackson, he would definitely ask Qingping Zhimo, what does Cao Mang mean?

"This is not what you said, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xun."

"I said it, this is what someone else said to me."

"Then what else did he say to you besides this sentence?" When asking this question, Qin Tong's eyes sparkled and he looked directly into Chen Xun's eyes.

Chen Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, but still couldn't laugh.

"It said a lot, but it's not really important. What's important is that he made me want to be a writer of legends, not a witness. He made me want to participate in creating a legend, instead of waiting to be saved by a legend."

Qin Tong watched Chen Xun remain silent and didn't know what he was thinking. As a special-level person who has the chance to become an ace mecha warrior, his information channels are actually not much worse than Chen Xun's, so he can know many things.

"if."

After a long while, Qin Tong finally said: "If... Lao Ji can really cut down that mountain, please help me tell him that I want to try to stand higher and see further."

After saying this, Qin Tong turned around without waiting for Chen Xun's response, pierced the armor and left. He didn't even conduct a real-machine test, because half a year ago, his mecha used the eleventh generation core engine.

.

And he had already become a super mecha warrior at that time. Now he has only returned to half a year ago, and his strength has not actually declined. From a certain perspective, his strength may be stronger now.

Because his heart went back to the time when he first became a mecha warrior, when he first joined the army, when he first had the dream of piloting a mecha.

Chen Xun looked at Qin Tong's back, feeling a little helpless but also a little happy.

Most people in Longzhou are reserved and restrained in character, so they tend to speak in a roundabout way.

Qin Tong's unclear words are actually very easy to understand.

The strength of a Marquis-level Imperial mecha is equivalent to that of the Federation's ace mecha warrior, which is why everyone was shocked when the Imperial Marquis surrendered.

Wouldn’t the Duke-class Imperial mecha, which is more powerful than the Marquis, be like a mountain to the Federation’s mecha warriors?

Tan Min

Whether it is for ordinary mecha warriors, special mecha warriors, or ace mecha warriors, it is a mountain that is difficult to climb.

What Ji Xinghe wants to do is not to climb the mountain, but to cut down the mountain.

Those who can cut down mountains will reach the top wherever they stand.

Chen Xun looked at Ji Xinghe who was undergoing actual machine testing, picked up the communicator, and was not worried that his words would affect Ji Xinghe's operation.

If Ji Xinghe didn't even have this ability, why did he let him come all the way in a dust storm?

Taking orders from a major with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he once could change Ji Xinghe's fate, but now he wants to call Ji Xinghe captain and let Ji Xinghe stand in front of him...

Chen Xun's courage and determination are just like the principle he has always adhered to: people and things should be put to their best use.

"Old Ji, someone asked me to tell you that if he wants to give it a try, he will feel like he is at the top of the mountain and can see all the small mountains at a glance."

"kindness."

Ji Xinghe responded softly, without asking or saying anything.

But Chen Xun had to say a few more words.

"So far, there is only one Duke-level Imperial Mecha that has been defeated by us in true mecha combat, only one General-level Imperial Mecha, and only one Imperial Mecha. They were all defeated by General Li Yuanba.

Therefore, he is now the one with the highest personal strength among all the mecha warriors in the federation, and even in the entire federation."

"kindness."

Ji Xinghe responded briefly, seemingly not caring about these things.

But Chen Xun knew he cared.

"Actually, Li Yuanba wasn't called this name before. His name was Li Yuan. He later changed his name. Do you want to know why he changed his name to Li Yuanba?"

Ji Xinghe's movements in operating the mecha did not stop at all. He was precise and at the same time, he answered distractedly. This time, it was not just one word.

"Why?"

"Have you ever read Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?"

"Seen."

"Then do you think this name is unlucky?"

"Won't."

This answer made Chen Xun helpless. The words he had planned in his mind were directly interrupted, but he continued to speak.

"Many people thought this name was unlucky. When he changed his name, some people held a meeting to discuss it and wanted him to change it back. Can you imagine? A group of politicians held a meeting to discuss this matter...but he didn't change it.
To be continued...
