Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1073: The Return of the Wild Bear
The People's Revolutionary League Space Army Headquarters.

The People's Revolutionary League soldiers walking in the corridor had different expressions, some were surprised, some were confused, but more were shocked.

Because the figure that appeared before their eyes, walking through the crowd towards the general's office deep in the headquarters, was one of the people who disappeared in the war several years ago - Sergei Smirnov.

"Lieutenant Colonel Sergei."

Suddenly, a figure from the crowd on both sides of the aisle suddenly separated the crowd and called out to Sergei with a happy expression.

"Oh? Are you Lieutenant Zhong Yan from the 078th Unit?"

"Yes! Lieutenant Colonel Sergei. I didn't expect you still remembered me!"

The man's eyes lit up and he said happily.

"Haha. I taught you guys back then! How could I not remember it?"

Sergei patted the other person's shoulder and said with emotion.

“It has become more stable over the years.”

"How can you say that as exaggerated as you say? You are joking, Lieutenant Colonel."

"Haha! You've become modest. It wasn't like this when I was leading you guys."

Once someone took the lead in proving it, naturally some people also realized that the Sergei Smirnov who suddenly appeared in front of them was a real person, not some mysterious phenomenon.

Gradually, more and more young soldiers heard the news and came to join in the chance conversation.

Even Sergei could not resist the enthusiasm of these young soldiers. After looking at the time, he quickly got rid of the crowd under the pretext of reporting to Commander Jin.

"Hahahaha!! I didn't expect that our famous wild bear would have the chance to flee."

Obviously, Commander Jin, who was sitting firmly in his office, already knew what happened in the corridor.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Commander. I didn't expect those guys to be so enthusiastic."

Sergei stood at attention and saluted, then at Commander Jin's invitation, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

Commander Jin carefully observed Sergei's every move, word and behavior.

After a long moment, he nodded slowly.

"You have certainly changed, Colonel Sergei. It seems that you have adopted a new way of fighting over the years."

"No. Just to complete the mission."

No matter what the People's Revolutionary League speculated, Sergei would insist that this was an excuse to carry out that "top secret mission."

Commander Jin didn't care about these things.

After all, before Sergei appeared in the People's Revolutionary Union Space Army Headquarters Building, the report on Sergei Smirnov's demobilization had already been placed on Commander Jin's desk.

Commander Jin has already read the report.

Apart from the doubts about the so-called top-secret mission, everything else seems almost flawless.

Especially when he saw Sergei, the famous wild bear, reappear before his eyes after several years, Commander Jin keenly noticed that this wild bear seemed to have changed.

It seemed that the person standing in front of him was not just the famous general of the People's Revolutionary League who was known as the Wild Bear, but more like a famous human general who used the universe as a chessboard and commanded thousands of warships to fight in the vast space.

However, after the great war several years ago, the open conflicts among the three major forces have become less and less frequent.

Especially after the threat posed by the Legion escalated and the three major forces had to form A-LAWS to deal with the crisis, the possibility of conflict among the three major forces was almost reduced to the lowest point.

The current international situation can even be described as peaceful.

Under such circumstances, where else can become a cosmic battlefield that can accommodate large-scale fleet-level conflicts and allow Sergei, the wild bear, to roam the battlefield?
"Commander, Commander Jin?"

Commander Jin, who was subconsciously lost in thought, finally came to his senses after being called by Sergei.

"Ah? Sorry! Sergei. Seeing that you haven't appeared for a long time, I was not paying attention and thought about some extra things."

Commander Jin sighed, and Sergei nodded calmly.

"No, Commander Jin, you are too serious. This is human nature."

Hearing this, Commander Jin smiled and took out a document from the drawer.

"Originally, I wanted you to continue to help me for a while, but the higher-ups don't seem to want you, a wild bear, to do odd jobs and spend your days leisurely."

After Commander Jin made a few jokes, he pushed the document in front of Sergei.

"A-LAWS. Here are your transfer orders. Sergei." "A-LAWS?"

Sergei looked at the document that was pushed in front of him with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, the transfer order from A-LAWS was still in front of him.

"It seems that you are aware of the existence of this independent force."

Commander Jin saw something from Sergei's expression.

"Yeah. I got to know a little bit. After all, Andre seems to be in this unit."

Sergei opened the file and said frankly.

Commander Jin also has some understanding of Sergei's family situation.

Commander Jin and other People's Revolutionary League generals who knew the situation had expressed regret for the father-son conflict between Sergei and Andrei more than once, and had tried to help secretly, but unfortunately, they did not reap the rewards they had imagined.

And now, the opportunity once again lies before Sergey.

"Andre? He took the initiative to apply to be transferred to A-LAWS. Judging from the current reports, he is doing a good job. He is now the captain of a MS team."

"Yeah, I've heard that, too."

Sergei closed the document, nodded, then stood up and saluted Commander Jin.

"Then, I'll take my leave first."

"Well, let's go!"

Commander Jin nodded, but when Sergei stepped out of the office, he couldn't help but call out to Sergei.

"Sergei. This time, take your chance."

Sergei was a little surprised, then turned around and responded solemnly.

"I understand. Commander Jin."

Commander Jin stood up and stood at attention solemnly in return.

"Well, I wish you all the best."

"Yes!"

Sergei couldn't help but sigh as he walked out of the office.

I didn't expect that Commander Jin and others would be concerned about the things happening in my family.

"It's time to have a chat with him."

In the AEU territory, in the airspace near a city where bullfighting culture is prevalent.

The Guiana-class land battleship from A-LAWS was slowly entering the designated airspace and had sent out a MS team to check the surrounding airspace.

(Guyana-class land battleship)

In the bridge, Kati Manikin frowned deeply.

This mission is not a good one.

Although the intelligence transmitted through the encrypted channel showed that there were indeed people related to the Legion hidden in the city ahead.

But the suspicion fell on the Halevi family, who were closely related to this city.

Such factors made Kati Manikin feel troubled.

If we act rashly, there is a high possibility that we will alert the enemy and cause the mission to fail, which would be a loss.

"Report! The mayor's office called and asked if we need any assistance?"

Because the AEU attaches great importance to the efficiency of A-LAWS's elimination, it has issued a special order that all cities within the AEU must meet A-LAWS's requirements as soon as possible and fully assist A-LAWS in completing the mission.

"No, that's not necessary. Respond to the other party by saying that our ship is in the state of exercise."

Kati Manikin had no intention of arguing with the mayor, so she just gave the order casually.

however,
In the next second, Kati Manikin's expression changed.

"Not good! The enemy has discovered our actions! All MS teams, attack immediately! Also, notify the surrounding ground forces and have them arrive here as soon as possible to block the passages around the city and strictly prohibit anyone from leaving the city without permission! Quick!"
