Mecha Soldier's Notes

()"acquaintance?"

My first reaction was Edith, but when I thought about it, it didn't feel right, because I never heard her mention that she commissioned such a black company, could it be... the Rhodes family!

Clade confirmed my guess with his gaze.

"Please don't worry about Mr. Chen Xiang. We are well aware of the pressure you are facing now. My employer just hopes to go to the third round, which is the final stage of bidding. Of course, at that time, no matter whether you lose or win, you don't need Chen Xiang Don't worry, sir, of course, since you don't charge money, my employer also allows you to make some reasonable requests based on this."

Compared with Lin's high-handed attitude of exhausting his means and determined to win, the request of the Rhodedes family, the most powerful among the four chaebols, seems a bit careless, even a little inexplicable.

Did they have anything left behind in the final stage?

"Why should I help you?"

I asked cautiously. After a series of unpleasant transactions with the Volga Company, I couldn't help but be vigilant, and Clade's expression seemed calm.

"Because you are Miss Rhodes' friend."

Aterina?

The knife was accurate enough, but it was not fatal. I gritted my teeth and carried it down, and it was over as soon as I showed my timidity in front of this gun dealer.

"It's true that they are friends, but this kind of friendship should not be worth my risk."

"That's natural. It's just that although Mr. Rhodes is in charge of important matters, Miss Rhodes is the nominal leader of the team this time..."

"Damn, their old man is crazy!"

I cursed loudly, and suddenly thought of something after I finished cursing.

"Hey, what does that matter?"

"It's very simple," Clade said with a relaxed expression, "The family of my big client can basically be regarded as a strictly operating company. Every family member is an employee of the company. If the performance is good, they will be awarded points. Those with the highest scores will become patriarchs, while those with poor performance will be continuously deducted points, and their status will become lower and lower, and finally they will even regress to the point where they are even inferior to gardeners."

"I'll go, that has nothing to do with me... Wait, how many times has Aterina led the team?"

Just when I was bored, I suddenly thought of an extremely important question.

"Hehe, the second lieutenant responded quickly. Since reaching the legal age, she has always led the team with the highest risk and the largest amount of money. Of course, the profit-loss ratio has always been [-]-[-]. Although it is not very clear, if the score is worth, it should be left. There are not many left."

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Anyway, this guy is not suitable for this job. Honestly, it's good to stay at home and be raised by others."

"Hehe, you didn't hear me clearly, Mr. Chen Xiang, what I said is that the status will also regress to the level of a servant with the score, that is to say, from now on, you will enter her room openly and honestly, and play love again and again. Shots in action movies don't seem to be crimes..."

"Nimma, beast!"

This stimulation is not something ordinary people can bear, I couldn't hold it back immediately, screaming and jumping up and cursing.

"Hehe, that's it. I've already explained the situation, so I'll see you again when I have a chance, so I'll take my leave."

Clade bowed slightly and backed out.I touched around, only to realize that I was sweating profusely.

The next day, I came to the hangar at the test site early. It was very early at that time. Mechanics and police soldiers were having breakfast in the cafeteria. I swiped the door with the special officer magnetic card and walked into the hangar inside the library.

It is said that this hangar was used as a parking place for testing weapons in the old century. Five small hangars of the same size and without interfering with each other were separated inside. Because of the need to park strategic bombers, it was stuffed with mechs and A pile of weapon spare parts is more than enough, and it doesn't seem crowded.

After opening the door, I didn't do anything else, just started circling around the body.

Round and round, I almost threw up by the end.

Code-named xll-910 [Vulture], it is a tactical prototype mecha belonging to the Lin family.With a height of 53 meters and a maximum take-off weight of [-] tons, it has no fixed weapons. The body is made of high-strength titanium alloy and adopts a hybrid structure of arc and rhombus. The power unit is four [-]-horsepower engines. The highlight is the use of a variety of weapon modules, which greatly expands the versatility of the body.

In general, among the bidding mechs, the performance of this thing can be regarded as above-average. Except for the mediocre performance of the engine, it is not bad in other aspects.

But to be honest, I don't like this model.

"To be honest, I was quite happy when you asked me to come, but what is it now, leave me alone and discharge electricity on the mecha?"

Edith's cold voice came from behind.My instinct told me that not responding to her would have the dire consequences of releasing the tiger from its cage.

"Ahem, cough, don't speak so harshly," I coughed twice, "By the way, I have something important to discuss with you."

After consolidating the words and sentences, I made a brief report on the incidents encountered yesterday. In fact, yesterday was not only a movie, but even Asimov, who hadn’t seen him for a long time, also hung up the phone to join in the fun. I express my deep apologies for the serious injury (I don’t know if she said it), and I express my condolences for my health (Nima hopes that I will die soon), and I hope that for the sake of money, [ Vulture] Take good care of me (this sentence is the truth), with a warm tone and a sincere attitude, as if what I said in the north was all scolded by idiots, all kinds of mess, it made my head big.

"Volga company? I heard family salesmen talk about this black company. It is said that they have the thickest face and the darkest hands. They are shameless people. I didn't expect you to have a relationship with this group of people."

Edith frowned slightly.

"Ah, I was young and ignorant at the time, and I fell into the water as soon as my head got hot. Fortunately, Miss, you rescued me in time, and let my prodigal son turn back, and turn back to the shore..."

I don't care if the sentences make sense or not, I'm cheeky and flattering.

Edith turned her head away and let out a dissatisfied "hum", but her tone softened a lot. She turned her eyes to the mecha in front of her, and gently stroked the smooth shell and joints of the mecha with her slender fingers. There was a slightly surprised expression on his face.

"Is this the prototype of the Lin family? I didn't expect that this family that has never developed mechas can be so excellent in craftsmanship. Compared with the strongest Rhodes family in this respect, it should not be much worse. "

"Can't you Crasso's family do it too?"

I asked stupidly, but it was no surprise that Edith gave Edith a murderous look.

"I'm sorry, it's really not possible. Although our family is good at making breakthroughs in new technologies, we share the same opinion as the Chalaville family in terms of processing technology that has little improvement in performance. In order to save costs and man-hours, it is a few simple steps. After rough treatment, it can be pulled out and sold after finishing it casually, so it is not like the things of the Rhodes family, which can still work well after 50 to [-] years."

The beautiful Slavic girl said angrily, feeling very upset that her family was falling behind.

It's the first time I've heard of the mysteries of judging mecha's xing performance. It seems that I should be careful when doing this kind of work in the future.

"Speaking of which, you don't seem to like Lin's body very much. Is this thing just a vase?"

Edith raised her index finger and tapped on the body armor, then suddenly turned to look at me.

"Of course not, the xing performance is very good, and the design concept is relatively new. The entire weapon system is completely modularized, and so many messy equipment are eaten at once, and there is no compatibility problem with the airframe. I really admire 'Taurus ' A designer's job."

Hearing that I had such a high opinion of [Vulture], Edith's eyebrows almost twitched, and her dark blue pupils became colder and colder, and then she sarcastically said in a sharp tone:

"Then it's just right, hurry up and choose it, why are you procrastinating?"

"No, not at all."

I replied decisively.

"What's wrong?"

"too expensive."

Edith's eyes flashed with interest.

"Forgive me for asking, how much are they quoting now? Anyway, everyone's reports have been handed in now, so it should not be classified as confidential."

"Oh, of course, one hundred and twenty million pounds."

"....."

Edith's eyes are now not only cold, but also angry, as if she was going to eat me-because their price is 6000 million gold pounds, which is more than 4000 million more expensive.Since I think Lin's expensive, wouldn't she already pack up and leave.

I quickly explained:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just talking about the price of the bare metal, other weapon modules need to be calculated separately."

"Another count of money."

"That's right, it's just a small marketing gimmick. Cheapness is only a theoretical thing, because the bare metal that only has armored machine guns and bladed weapons has no combat effectiveness. If you don't want to fly out as a target, you must buy a matching tactical module. Every A module is composed of more than three sets of subsystems, and each subsystem is a complex component that is not cheap. If we follow the "universal" concept of the bidding, we need to configure ground-to-sea defense for each mecha. Three modules empty, more than nine subsystems, after careful calculation, the quotation is actually not much lower than that of the Rhodes family."

"At the same time, bundling sales with follow-up orders such as warships seems to have greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Republic on the surface, but in fact, it has captured the mentality of the Republic's eagerness to expand its strength, and by the way, brought the new army of the Republic The big monopoly is completely controlled in their hands, and their intentions are really sinister enough."

The former is my judgment as a professional mecha soldier, and the latter is the analysis of the top student. Taken together, it is a simple conclusion: Lin is playing a big game of chess.

Speaking of the Rhodes family, I started to feel depressed again, because obviously, the boss who hired one is the Rhodes family, although this group of people should be the most stable in the bidding team so far, except for eating and shopping every day. I didn't do anything other than the tea party, and I looked like I was sitting on the Diaoyutai, but I wouldn't be so naive as to think that all the family members were just like Aterina, just acting cute in a daze.

Especially those fellows who got involved with the merchants of the Volga Company, if they don't do something sinister and vicious, I'm really sorry for the people.And what happened to Aterina made me have a nightmare all night, so I can't just leave it alone.

Now it feels like a tank is crushed in front, and a minefield is laid behind, and it doesn't move.

"Hey, why are you telling me this? Strictly speaking, I am also a bidder. Maybe I brought a miniature tape recorder to collect evidence of your leaking information."

Edith smiled as if thinking of something.

"Please, miss, just give me an idea from the perspective of my dearest friend, I'm going to suffocate to death," I said with a bitter face, "Hey, hurry up, I'll tell you later Please drink soy milk."

"Go away, is there someone who entertains girls like you?"

Edith mocked, but luckily she said it anyway.

"Since you belong to the faction that you want to be powerful in all parties, then you can fight according to the oldest art of war in your country, combining vertical and horizontal, and you won't ask me, a foreigner, to teach you."

Then Edith talked about her preliminary plan. After listening to it, the only feeling I had was—Nimma, I have spent more than ten years studying Chinese in vain, and my understanding of traditional culture is not as deep as that of foreigners.

After talking about the matters, the two of us closed the door and went out to the cafeteria, but on the way I suddenly thought of a problem.

"Well, Edith, is your relationship with the Rhodes family good?"

"Generally speaking, in general, no one in this world who can make friends with this fox family has yet been born. Athelina is just an exception. Many times I wonder if she is really the Rhodes family, or Their old man hugged the wrong person in the delivery room."

"...Uh, then have you heard of...the mess in their house..."

"Oh, what are you talking about? It's been a normal thing in the aristocratic circle since the Middle Ages. You should be able to read literature in this area casually. Although I don't know how this family lives, it depends on the situation. That's about the same, by the way, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I just watched a movie and I'm just a little interested."

I hurriedly prevaricated, but my stomach twitched.

"Will be interested in this kind of thing... It really is a pervert."

Edith sneered.
