The starting point for the Mars expedition was Mexico.
The specific reason, I heard, is that after the Blue Alliance was officially established, the first successful kill on the Dajian Cruise Ship was achieved in this wild country.
By "coincidence", the place of swearing was very close to the Injustice City.
In fact, to be precise, the Injustice City itself is within this country... It is also the place where Major Qing once fled and stayed, but later rose up and came back, and officially announced the establishment of Xiuxiangrui.
It was October 28, 1996, two days after traveling in China.
Xixi Fengrui and his party arrived in Mexico City by airship in the afternoon local time.
Because time was already tight when they arrived, they did not go to the local Azul base, nor did they visit the familiar Mexican elite Chichen Itza team.
Several people went directly from the spaceship to the roof of a tall building, and then went downstairs to an ordinary house on the roadside near the square, knocking on the door and begging for a late lunch.
The elderly Mexican couple who are the heads of the household were very enthusiastic during the whole process, even a little too nervous and excited, except for being stunned for a moment when they opened the door.
After all, there is no one in this world who doesn't know these people who appear at their dining table at this moment.
Moreover, the long-standing relationship and friendship between Stream Edge, Injustice City and the Chichen Itza team has always been a great pride for the entire country and people of Mexico.
During lunch, several people, led by Wen Jifei, carefully exchanged their knowledge with the head of the household about the situation in the universe, the future of mankind, the catering culture around the world, the characteristics of beautiful women, and the strength of the relationship between husband and wife. The conversation was very enjoyable.
Wait until they finish thanking you and go out.
Both sides of the long street leading from the door of this house to Constitution Square were filled with enthusiastic and excited Mexican people, as well as people from various countries who came specifically to participate in the expedition ceremony.
In addition, Wu Shi vaguely saw a few figures from the Injustice City in the crowd.
"God testifies, I have never told anyone that you are visiting my house." Faced with this situation, the Mexican old lady, the head of the household, explained behind her with a kind smile. Then, she turned her head and motioned to the TV screen in the room and said, "There is someone there. I took a photo of you guys appearing on the rooftop... I couldn't help it, this was the big news that the whole of Mexico had been waiting for. But the good thing is that you looked very handsome in your condition at the time."
The distant photo of the rooftop that appeared on the TV screen at this time did look pretty good.
"Thank you." Han Qingyu smiled helplessly.
It seems that they will have to do this today, walking through the long street amid onlookers and cheers. Of course, getting them to wave was impossible...except maybe He Tangtang.
"Roar! Roar! KING, Win, Sure..." Among the various weird and strange tones at the scene, the cheers that traveled through the long street only reached the square.
"So, are they actually calling Qing Wen Xi'er? Haha." Xi Mei asked in a low voice with interest.
"There is also a god who eats big tips." He Tangtang emphasized that his title was obviously louder, and then raised his hand to wave to the crowd.
The cheers became even louder.
"Well, in that case, maybe they were calling Pegmount, paying homage to the lone big-spiked predator on Mars with a distant cheer."
Xi Mei deliberately flattered him, and at the same time secretly thought in her heart: If I showed up wearing iron armor, huh, my voice would definitely be louder than yours.
Her name also appeared on the list of the main generals and important combat forces of the Mars expedition announced some time ago. Of course, he appeared in the name of Major General Wei Lan and the special liaison officer stationed at Xixi Fengrui, Yang Tieyu. To this world, it was just a brand new name.
Then, Pegmount's name also appeared on that list. In order to clearly express his contribution to mankind, Wei Lan emphasized that he was a pioneer expeditioner on the Mars battlefield, not a person waiting for rescue.
The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force on the expedition list is an old blue general named Yergena.
This 71-year-old general, who is said to be of mixed blood from the four countries, is also of Chinese and Asian descent. During the previous invasion of the Great Spire, he served as the deputy commander, closest mentor and comrade-in-arms, and worked closely with Siglo Together they commanded the early and middle stages of the decisive battle in Oceania.
After that battle, he announced his retirement due to his old age, and Admiral Siglo, who was relatively younger, chose to continue his career as a commander.
In the end, because of the tragic loss of more than 500,000 soldiers killed in the Antarctic expedition, Siglo went to the place of death out of guilt and died in the extreme traction field.
If that thing hadn't happened...if he hadn't died, he would have gone to this battle.
Therefore, Admiral Yergena was under tremendous pressure this time, with a strong will to die and possibly become a sinner in human history, and chose to come back. In addition to responding to Wei Lan's call and obeying the needs of the organization, there was another important aspect. The reason is to take over the burden left by his disciple and old friend, Sigelluo, and personally make up for his guilt.
Ranked only below Yergena, the deputy commander-in-chief on the expedition list is Xixi Fengrui and Wen Jifei.
The world's understanding of Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei started with the endless sniping in Injustice City and his reputation as the Gunslinger; to the extent of suppressing the existence of Major Qing); and then to the only person in Huaxian Asia who witnessed the appointment of Xu Xiaohong, the chief of general staff of the legion (the person who the legendary chief of general staff most hopes and expects to take over his position in the future).
Therefore, when his name also appeared on the list and in the position of deputy commander-in-chief, the whole world cheered for it, and just because of this, it felt that the hope of victory in the expedition had become much greater.
However, at the same time, there are also many people who are worried about his voice appearing. Because in today's world, everyone has long known that Second Lieutenant Wen Jifei is not a source energy master. As a dice, at least most of the time, he is not.
"Fortunately, they are still together this time. They are fighting side by side again." People said.
The other half of the word "they" is the most important name on that list. His name is Han Qingyu.
Of course, the world is always more accustomed to calling him Major Qing, and at the same time, there are a small number of people who still like to call him his nickname back then: Naoto Death.
Behind that name, Wei Lan did not add any title, because it was not needed. It was enough for him to appear on that list, which was enough to prove everything: including Wei Lan's determination for this expedition, mankind's support for Major General Pegmont. Not giving up, and the desire and expectation for victory in the expedition.
In addition, the names of Wu Shi and He Tangtang on the list are important weights that humans place on the balance of victory and defeat.
"Second Lieutenant Wen, Second Lieutenant Wen... Major General He Tangtang, the top-notch devil, the great kidney-beater..." The shouts came from the crowded roadside near the square.
Here, there are more reporters from all over the world.
On the spot, Wen Jifei didn't notice the shouting on the roadside, but He Tangtang turned his head and heard and saw it. The ones calling out were their old acquaintances. Wei Lan was probably the most famous at present, and they were also the war correspondent partners who had the deepest connection with Xixi Fengrui, Ashley and Ivan.
"You guys?" He Tangtang walked over.
"We are also going to Mars." Ashley said happily.
Then, Ivan added with a smile, "Because everything that happens on Mars will be difficult for the world to see... We feel that we must let everything be seen, known and remembered by the world.
"Oh, that's okay, this time it might be my place." He Tangtang nodded. Just when he was about to brag, his arm was pulled over by Ashley.
She came closer and said, "Who is that? I mean Yang Tieyu, the liaison officer from Weilan. She acted as if she was already a member of your core team. Because of this, Cai Xin was still talking to me on the phone just now Jealous and complaining.”
"Oh, she..." He Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "She is probably Qingzi's fiancée now."
Qingzi, of course, is Major Qing.
Ashley fainted immediately after hearing this.
Fortunately, the crowd was very crowded. Ivan smiled bitterly and reached out to support her.
"Fantasy, because of encounters on the battlefield, observations and records in the camera, stories that are unconsciously beautified by personal subjective opinions, women's blind fantasies." Ivan circled his forehead twice with his finger, and explained with a smile, Then prepare to say a few words of blessing. Of course, this is a bit difficult, because even if he is a man, Major Qing is getting married, which he finds difficult to understand and very awkward for a while.
"Get out!" Before Ivan said his blessing, Ashley woke up quickly and stood up, gritting her teeth and glaring, "Why?!"
She said this while looking at He Tangtang.
"Fine... hahahaha, you will know later." He Tangtang laughed, and then strode forward to chase after him.
At the same time, the 100,000 blue veterans in the square have completed their arming and formation.
In the sky, source energy spacecraft of different sizes formed a queue, roaring towards them, landing and docking at the launch site not far away, waiting for departure.
In one of the spaceships, there was a piece of iron armor that was once so familiar to this world, but was later sad for it, and it was also quietly waiting for the battle to come.
Han Qingyu was still the same Han Qingyu who was easily embarrassed in such situations, but this time, he had to walk directly into the scene in such an atmosphere and scene.
Because no matter who he is in this world, he knows in his heart that he is actually the real leader of this expedition.
Therefore, Han Qingyu tried his best to keep a cold face and not give any expression or reaction.
Even so, the cheers in the long street and square behind him were still boiling to the extreme. At this moment, Major Qing's figure finally appeared in front of the square battle formation.
"Shua..."
"Keng!"
"Buzz..."
One hundred thousand blue veterans in the square, their collective energy surged, and they drew their swords to pay tribute to him.
Those are 100,000 retired veterans, some of whom are old and some are disabled... Even if Han Qingyu originally planned to keep a cold face, even if he was not used to this kind of situation and was too lazy to say anything, he had to respond at this moment.
Moreover, the world still doesn’t know and is unsure about his specific recovery status after the First World War in Antarctica. In a sense, he does need to do something and say something to calm the morale of the military and the people.
There was a "clang" sound, and the dead metal rubbed extremely fast.
During the march, the person did not move much, but the long dead iron sword on Major Qing's back flew out and broke through the air.
After briefly stagnating in the air, with a roar of "欻", it landed straight on the ground and was inserted in front of the battle formation.
At the same time, his men turned and stood on the high platform... facing the 100,000 veterans, silently raising their hands in salute.
