For the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, a nuclear explosion caused by a giant nuclear fusion reactor is like a pustule exploding on a person's arm. It does not hurt or itch. But the shock wave of the nuclear explosion still shook things beyond the mountains. The clouds near the snow-capped mountains dropped black snow due to the sudden and powerful vibration. This snow will not stay on the mountain for long, but it still makes the HER soldiers who saw real snow for the first time from the universe feel the bone-chilling cold as if they were in a snow country.
RX2 on the evening of October 3, 2000
Major General Nguyen Thi Mai, commander of the African theater of the Holy Roman Empire (HER), was killed without a complete body. The leaderless HER soldiers at the hilltop fortress on Mount Kilimanjaro chose to surrender and fired a white flashbang into the sky. The stray bullet twisted and flew toward the red sky, shining like a morning star on the top of the mountain.
"The HER Corps on Mount Kilimanjaro showed the white flag!"
Sima Qian, who broadcast the battle live on the Osiris, could not control her emotions. With tears streaming from her eyes, she immediately announced the result of the battle to the world.
The Africans won.
The impact of the nuclear explosion also affected Jiang Ge and his group. They were too close to the nuclear explosion site, so their bodies were knocked over by the shock wave. Jiang Ge's body was blown 500 meters away, and he was somewhat protected by the large shield in his hand. But his subordinates were not so lucky, and many of their bodies were damaged to varying degrees.
"Skye!!" Django shouted through the loudspeaker, and after an extremely long 15 seconds, he finally heard his reassuring voice.
"Colonel, cough!! I'm fine..."
"Great! Is your body seriously damaged?"
"The legs are completely disabled and I can't move."
"Stay in the cockpit and don't move. Don't be exposed to nuclear radiation! Everyone, check to see if the bodies of your comrades around you are intact. If anyone's cockpit is damaged, you must escape to someone else's cockpit as soon as possible. , reduce the time of exposure to nuclear radiation!”
"Nuclear radiation?"
Elizabeth, who was with Lin Ao, felt uneasy after hearing this. When the explosion just occurred, "Fudo Myooh" whose arm was pressed by a boulder was blown 400 meters away, and various parts were slightly injured. Fortunately, the damage was minor. Lin Ao comforted him: "Don't be afraid. We are all wearing driving suits, which can resist a certain amount of radiation."
"I know that humanoid weapons are all powered by nuclear power, but it's just my first time to experience a nuclear explosion..."
"Me too."
Lin Ao looked at the collapsed cave where the nuclear explosion had occurred. There was still thick smoke rising from the gaps in the stones, soaring upwards and connecting with the clouds.
"What?! HER surrendered!?"
Django, who was on the front line, learned the result of the battle later than anyone else. He couldn't suppress his excited laughter, and his voice became hoarse: "Warriors! We defeated HER! Everyone's blood was not shed in vain. . We drove away the invaders and Africa was free again!"
"Long live!!"
A few cautious African warriors on the hillside cheered, which seemed deserted compared with the celebration parades that broke out across Africa, but their joy was no less than anyone else.
"We won, finally..."
Django smiled and shed tears.
…
RX2 October 10, 2000.
Africa's coastal city - the capital of Tanzania - Dar es Salaam.
Li Youde's hand and Jiang Ge's hand were held together.
"Colonel Django...should not be General Django. Thank you for coming to see me off in person."
Django, who had many pieces of gauze on his face, smiled and said: "We can defeat HER this time, thanks to the help of the Osiris. We Africans will never forget your help! You are leaving Africa, and I must come to see you off in person." .”
Li Youde waved his hand: "The materials you provided are already a great gift."
Django looked at the Osiris that had just left the dock and said worriedly: "Is it really okay to be in such a hurry? The Osiris was so badly damaged that it will only be repaired for a week before setting off. I really hope you can wait until the ship is completely Fix it before leaving.”
Li Youde sighed: "It will take two months to complete all repairs, but Colonel Chen Ma from the Chang'an Cooperation Organization told me that the meeting cannot wait that long, and there is nothing I can do."
Jiang Ge nodded: "I also know about that meeting. The specific time is confidential. Although I was selected as the representative of the African Brotherhood, I was not told the specific time. Speaking of which, the princess of HER is really there. Are you on board?"
"You knew already?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to inquire."
Li Youde sighed and said: "If you know it, then HER should also know it. Yes, we came to Earth this time just to send her to attend that meeting."
"Really... It's a meeting that may change the direction of the world in the future. If it were me, I would choose to take a gamble."
Li Youde looked at the Osiris, which had a section of its bottom burned off, and sighed: "I hope the result will make everything worthwhile."
Django looked up at the sky, which was still burning like a flame, and said, "Yes, too much has been lost."
"Africa has gone through too many hardships. Rivers have been polluted, rainforests have been burned, and cities have been destroyed. How long will it take to recover?"
Jiang Ge shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and then said:
"But I will work hard to save this continent, no matter the cost. The loss of nature cannot be cured by us humans in a short time. I hope that the sea of time that will not ebb will swallow up those sad memories, so that our descendants can live in On a safe continent.”
…
"I'm here to bring you food."
Under the protection of several female soldiers, Elizabeth placed a plate of rice at the meal opening of the cell door. Lin Ao, who had previously piloted the machine body to leave the Osiris without permission, was imprisoned in the prison. Lieutenant Anton put him in solitary confinement and said that he was being merciful if he was not shot.
"You came!"
Lin Ao, who was drowsy in the cell, suddenly became energetic when he heard Elizabeth's voice. He stood up, took the dinner plate and put it aside. He wanted to chat with Elizabeth even more.
"How is it? The crew didn't do anything after knowing your identity, right?"
"No, although I felt different eyes, everyone kept a distance from me. Captain Li Youde must have specially warned me. In fact, the only chance I can show up every day is to deliver food to you in person, and by the way, meet Feiou in the restaurant. Meet Miss Na, she is such a good person."
"Thank you!"
Elizabeth smiled and said: "After so many days, why are you still thanking me? I heard from Lieutenant Anton that you can come out from here after setting sail tonight."
Lin Ao scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's more comfortable here than training every day. It's just boring, but it would be great to see you every day."
Elizabeth smiled sweetly and said: "Captain Li Youde said that in view of our current relationship, he allows you to move to my room."
Lin Ao jumped up when he heard this.
"Really! Yeah!"
…
"Each engine unit is in good condition and ready to run!"
"Okay, all crew members, please pay attention. The Osiris is preparing to take off, counting down to 5, 4, 3..."
The Osiris slowly flew into the sky of Dar es Salaam. On the streets of this city, many people cheered and said goodbye to the battleship.
Li Youde looked happily at the Africans on the ground who were seeing him off. He understood why Captain Shepard had been helping people on Earth.
"No wonder Bacon said that good deeds should benefit mankind."
The Osiris turned its bow. Not far in front of it, three red lights shone under the sea. They were the submarines of the Chang'an Cooperation Organization. They would serve as the pilots to escort the Osiris to Lhasa.
In the hangar, Lin Ao, who had not been seen for a long time, became the focus of everyone. Bart hugged his neck, gently turned his head with his fist, and joked: "Our God of War Romeo is here!"
Lin Ao asked embarrassedly: "What God of War? What Romeo?"
"Aren't you Romeo the Lover when you break military discipline to save a woman? My dear, you even got hold of HER's princess. I thought you were just in love, but I didn't expect you were both married!"
Lin Ao blushed and was embarrassed to say anything. He could only change the subject and asked: "What is the God of War? It's time to exaggerate!"
Old Jack stroked his beard and said: "How many enemy planes have you killed so far? A hundred, right? If you kill five, you can be considered a trump card. You have killed so many enemies, are you still not the God of War?"
"How, how can it be so exaggerated! There shouldn't be a hundred!"
Bart let go of Lin Ao, and told everyone to imitate the movements of "Fudo Myooh" a few days ago: "It's not just the number of hits, it's Lin Ao's performance that day. He just stood there, not even a single extra move. The enemy's trump card was suppressed with just one move, good guy, Chinese Kung Fu!"
Lin Ao waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no! It's just that the guy moved too slowly."
"Why was I so slow? If I were too slow, how could I have been beaten so badly!" Miao Haosi shouted.
"It's really a bit slow... I feel like HER's humanoid weapons are getting worse and worse, and their movements are quite slow."
While everyone was having fun, someone coughed from behind. When everyone heard the sound and looked around, it turned out to be Lieutenant Anton, with Sima Qian following him.
Anton scolded sternly: "The battleship has just set sail. If you want to gather at another time, don't be so lax! Lin Ao, have you taught me a lesson?"
"knew!"
"That's good, I won't be lenient next time!"
Anton was lecturing in a majestic manner, and Sima Qian on the side suddenly said: "I hope someone can be like Lin Ao, who would not hesitate to violate military discipline for the sake of his lover!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone laughed and left. Anton asked Sima Qian awkwardly: "What do you mean?"
"think it yourself!"
Anton scratched his head with a headache. He turned around and saw that Lin Ao was still standing there and warned: "Let me say one more thing, don't say anything in front of everyone that the enemy has slowed down. Some people will think that this is you showing off your skills. , irritating them.”
Lin Ao said a little aggrievedly: "But what I said is true. In the past, I only felt that the enemy was slowing down for a moment. Now I feel that all the enemies are slowing down."
Anton was stunned for a moment and asked: "When did you feel that the enemies were slowing down?"
"After Li Si's sacrifice."
"Only the enemies are slower?"
"Well, actually I think Fudo Myooh has also slowed down. Sometimes when I want to make some movement, Fudo Myooh feels like it will take a few seconds to react, but Tote said the body's reaction speed is within 0.1 seconds. "
"How many seconds...does this only happen during combat?"
"Yes."
Anton vaguely felt that he was thinking of something, but he couldn't answer it. He suddenly remembered Dr. Hohenheim, the scientist who had been conducting physical examinations on Lin Ao on the ship. Did he know something?
"Don't mention your situation to anyone yet."
Lin Ao was stunned and nodded.
