【Respect】The Beautiful Future

The gloomy weather for several days seems to have finally reached a tipping point.In the evening, leaden-gray dark clouds piled up in the sky, creating a sense of oppression, and the muffled sound of thunder came faintly from a distance, and the whole earth was in agitation.The cold wind blew up the hem of Munakata's long coat in military uniform, and Seri Awashima, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but tighten his clothes, and quickened his pace to get closer to Munakata.

They turned the corner and headed towards the command center, and the sound of the same brisk walk over there suddenly became clear without the obstruction of the wall.The figures that came into view were Yu Zhangxun and Shantiao Gangyi who followed closely behind. The two came straight and met them face to face.Munakata couldn't help but take a look at Yoshijo. This man who has always been so silent that he doesn't have any sense of presence is obviously in a worse mood than the weather. There is a kind of breathless depression.

"Oh? What's the matter?" After saluting, Munakata walked with Yu Zhang a step apart, and asked with his gaze back.

"Hey - doesn't he always have a bad face when he sees you? Munakata hasn't gotten used to it for so many years?" Yu Zhang glanced at his deputy inadvertently, and teased and perfunctory.After Shanjo came into contact with Yu Zhangxun's sight, his body shook slightly, and he lowered his head to restrain his emotions.

"It's really sad for you to say that." Munakata put on a look that had nothing to do with sadness, stopped asking and changed the subject, "Looking at the direction you came from - you just came from Dr. Arakawa come over?"

"Ah... yes." Yu Zhang nodded, "They have found a drug that can relieve the severe pain during the outbreak of the virus, and the attacks and self-harm behaviors of the infected people in the experiment have been controlled."

"Actually, that thing... is a bit like anesthesia," he commented.

"In that case, will it have a great impact on the brain?" Munakata asked.

Yu Zhang paused slightly, the elevator opened just at this time, he walked in and replied: "Of course."

The door was closed after all four people entered, and the elevator went smoothly to the top floor.Yu Zhangxun's figure was reflected on the mirror-like staircase wall, Zongxiang looked sideways, and finally understood why there was something wrong.

Yu Zhangxun's military uniform was neatly worn by him, straight and dignified, and even the collar that was always open casually was buttoned meticulously.This image of an ascetic officer who doesn't intend to show anything but his face will be extremely gratifying if Jia Judu Xuanshi sees it.

"Although it's impolite to ask this suddenly," Zongxiang said, "But even the military regulations can't restrain your wild and unruly dressing style, so how can you be disciplined?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhang raised his hand and tugged at the tightly buttoned collar, sighing, "It's probably because I'm old."

Seri Awashima couldn't help but look up at Habari's beautiful face that showed no sign of blushing.

"...It's an irrefutable answer." Munakata showed a regretful expression, "I thought I could see you and Fushimi-kun compare to see who is more casual."

Fushimi Saruhiko's collar button was ripped off by Hatta Misaki, and he simply stopped patching it up. Others saw that Fushimi was the person in charge brought by Munakata himself, and he was rather gloomy, so they all let him go up.However, the intelligence team still discussed it in private, and they all speculated whether the three blue hairs Yu Zhangxun, Munakata Reishi, and Fushimi Saruhiko were brothers.After comprehensive consideration of various factors, everyone agreed that: Munakata Reisi is the younger brother of Yu Zhangxun, born; Fushimi Saru Hiko should also be their younger brother, sent as a phone fee.

Yu Zhangxun recalled Fushimi whom he had met several times, and said sincerely: "Let's leave this kind of performance opportunity to young people."

'Ding——" The elevator door opened in response.

Two deputies opened the door of the conference room for them, and Yan Jinyuan and others who had already sat and waited according to their military ranks stood up and saluted in unison.

After they were seated, Moto Shiozu turned on the projector under the signal of Hazhang, and a map of the Japanese area floated on the conference table. A red dot in the occupied area flashed for a moment, and then a path line was pulled out to press against the blue dot symbolizing the first line of defense. color shield, a bright red cross appears.

"The DTC alliance has already acted and launched the first round of attack on the first line of defense three hours ago."

The map zoomed out to the left, and the video screen transmitted from the defense line popped up.

Just at this moment, thunder exploded outside, the black clouds rolled up, and the rain poured down.The thunder rolls like the gods playing drums in the sky, and the sound of rain spreads into the room, making the sound of gunfire in the projection screen even more frightening.

The first line of defense could barely support under the opponent's fierce offensive.

"Do you want to take advantage of the news?" Yu Zhangxun frowned slightly, "However, the order has basically stabilized in the past few days, and the situation is not too bad."

The recorded screen of the previous battle was stagnant on the exploded missile, and then the face of the commander of the first line of defense appeared in a flash.He saluted everyone present with a tired expression, and reported the situation to Yu Zhang with a heavy voice, and suffered a heavy loss.

"Don't blame yourself," Yu Zhang nodded, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head to Zongxiang and said, "Go to support, and I will leave all the defense line to you. Is there a problem?"

Zongxiang was surprised when he heard this, or rather, all the people waiting for the order were stunned.Before Zongxiang could speak, Yan Jinyuan blurted out: "Aren't you going to do it yourself?!"

This is where everyone is weird.Yu Zhang Xun has always taken the lead. According to his own meaning, he prefers the feeling of being on the battlefield in person than sitting firmly at the headquarters and issuing orders.But now the implication is that even the command right is handed over to Munakata Reisi.

"Yes, is there anything wrong?" Yu Zhangxun said simply and neatly.

"No...no." Yanjin Yuan replied dryly, quickly manipulated his hand, and the huge map of Japan once again filled his field of vision.The map kept zooming in until the terrain around the first line of defense was clearly displayed, and some data appeared beside it.

"...We have a slight advantage in terms of terrain. In addition, there is a gorge between two mountains here, which is also very beneficial for retreating." Yan Jinyuan analyzed briefly.

"Your tone of conviction that I will lose is really unpleasant." Munakata commented.

Yan Jinyuan was at a loss for words for a moment, and quickly glanced at him without answering.

"Speaking of which," Munakata ignored him and turned to Yuzhang, "Can you show me the recruit training report? I think we can choose a group from them to make up for the current situation between us and the Alliance Army." difference in quantity."

Yu Zhang hesitated: "Judging from their quality and psychology, I'm afraid it's a little risky."

"Indeed," Munakata nodded, not paying much attention, "but there are no excellent soldiers who can be honed without going through the battlefield, right? As for the problem you mentioned, I think I can still handle it."

Yu Zhang laughed helplessly, "Since you said so, I have no reason to refuse."

"The first task is to safely withdraw the damaged troops on the first line of defense. It will take about 13 hours. Our situation is not optimistic. Now the alliance can't send any troops to support, even if there is still a gap in the use of recruits according to what you said , so I allow you to abandon the line of defense if necessary, and withdraw the security forces."

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice sounded from the corner. It wasn't too loud, but it was clear enough for everyone to hear in this moment of silence, "Is there no army willing to come to this Japanese area full of viruses? The Federation is also reluctant to part with them." Died in a small place..." The man hurriedly stopped his voice, but it was still a step too late.

There was a moment of silence.

Who would really believe the excuse of not being able to dispatch troops.Those interest groups in the Federation don't see people's pain in their eyes. They only know how to send troops to the front line and satisfy their desires with the benefits obtained in exchange for countless blood.

Yu Zhangxun broke the silence with a light cough. He looked over warningly, then looked sideways at Zongxiang, who had no special expression, and asked after a pause, "Do you have any questions?"

"No, everything is subject to orders." Munakata said indifferently, "But let me be sure, are you determined not to interfere in this operation?"

"Are you afraid of something?" Munakata said with a faint smile on Yuzhang Wenyan's face, and encouraged him: "Be confident, you are the one who appeared in front of me with sparks falling from the sky after a loud noise!"

"........."

It was still pouring rain outside the meeting room. After the plan was formulated, everyone left to carry out their tasks. Only Reji Munakata and Zhang Xun Yu were left in the room.

"Didn't you say there is no problem?" Yu Zhangxun asked with a smile, and looked at his Zongxiang with scrutiny, without being angry.

"Suddenly there is a problem with that sentence of yours." Munakata withdrew his gaze and met Kamiyuzhang's eyes.

"Ah..." Yu Zhang recalled for a moment, then shrugged and said, "Isn't the way of encouraging you right?"

"Speak straight to the point, are you guilty?" Zong Xiang pushed his glasses, his words were as sharp as his gaze.

Yu Zhang was slightly taken aback, and then the smile on his lips deepened, "If you say too many inexplicable things like this, I won't feel very happy."

"Oh? I'm really sorry." He replied without sincerity.

"Don't bother to speculate on me, Munakata, there's no need for that."

Munakata was noncommittal.

Yu Zhang took a deep breath and stood up, "Then end this meaningless topic, Dr. Arakawa asked me to send you something."

Reiji Munakata pushed open the door of the meeting room, and the cold wind brought the cold rain, and he closed the window that was opened by someone.The wet sideburns pressed against his cheeks, and the bean-sized raindrops slammed fiercely on the glass.This is the highest point of the base, and you can even see the large maple forest behind the base being shaken by the strong wind and almost falling down.

"Your interest is not affected by this weather." Munakata greeted Yan Jinyuan who was also standing in front of the window not far away.

The opponent's movements were momentarily sluggish, and then he turned his head to look at him.Lightning swam through the clouds like a snake, and the glaring white light illuminated Yan Jinyuan's expression. A smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and it was rare to reply Munakata's words, "Ah, you too."

The torrential rain came violently, but it went quickly, and it ended in the second half of the night in an empathetic manner. The army of the DTC alliance stepped on the footsteps of the torrential rain and launched an attack before dawn.

……

"Group A retreats to the right to defend."

"Group C maintains a strategic formation, and it's enough to stabilize."

Munakata Reiji continuously issued adjustment orders through the earphones, and the command vehicle was positioned in front at Munakata's request. As the heavy missile exploded, it continued to shake, and the fire reflected on the glass seemed to destroy this fragile vehicle at any time.The atmosphere in the car was extremely tense, and Awashima Seri also felt a lot of uneasiness, but what made her afraid was not the safety of the car, but Munakata.

She clearly felt that this battle was unusual.It's not just because Munakata didn't put out the jigsaw puzzle again. Although this calm and composed man still looked calm, he often looked out of the window.Awashima also tried to observe, the sky was already bright, but nothing could be seen except the chaotic artillery fire and the constantly criss-crossing Knight Mare.

wrong.

There must be something wrong.

Zongxiang frowned, turned his head to look at the data map in front of Fufu again, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"

Fushimi stared at the screen, his pale fingers fluttered like butterflies and quickly operated on the keyboard, "The defense line will be evacuated immediately. But the important issue now is that it has been going on for so long, KnightMare's energy and our ammunition supply have been exhausted." If there is a disadvantage, we will definitely lose in a war of attrition.”

Munakata looked back out of the window again, then turned around abruptly as if sensing something, "Abandon the A-1 strategy, let Group C withdraw and the closest Group R make up!"

Everyone in the car was stunned for a moment, not knowing what it meant.

The order was accurately conveyed through the headset, but it was still a bit late.

A Knightmare suddenly rushed out from the alliance army, regardless of the attack, rushed straight to the defensive part of Group C. The mechanical arm full of energy was raised, and a series of flames exploded in the air, drawing tracks in the air, and falling on the blue mecha.The sound of the explosion suddenly became more intense, thick black smoke billowed up, some reacted quickly and activated the disengagement system, the cabin was ejected backwards out of danger, and more people hadn't realized what happened, red appeared on the data map in an instant. The 'disappeared'.

"What's going on with this army!?" Seri Awashima exclaimed.

"It's not mentioned in the intelligence, it's a unit that we didn't expect... They seem to know our basic deployment." Cold sweat rolled down Fushimi's forehead.

Group C is the team made up of recruits, the most vulnerable part of this tight-fitting defensive formation.

Previous doubts seem to have finally found a breakthrough.

Even under the command of Munakata, although the alliance army is strong, they have no way to attack them. However, their deployment seems to be insightful, and the constant adjustments seem to stick to it like they can't get rid of it.

Just for this moment of breakthrough.

Zongxiang pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.It's just that Knightmare of the Alliance Army rushed over at this moment, and Akiyama, who was closer, stepped in to block the missiles coming towards the command vehicle when he opened a small gap between the opponents.

"Daoming Temple, step back to Xiaguan to have a look." Zongxiang finally spoke, with an indescribable emotion flashing in his eyes.

A bad premonition filled everyone's mind.

A dialog box popped up suddenly, and Fushimi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and turned around and shouted: "Your Excellency! Our communication with the base has been interrupted!"

"Is it interference?"

"No...it's not the interference of a third party," Fushimi swallowed, and said with difficulty, "If I'm not mistaken, the base cut off the communication with us."

"The first line of defense was also completely sealed off after the evacuation."

How is it possible... Awashima's mind went blank for an instant.

"Report!" Daoming Temple's voice rang in the car in a panic, "Your Excellency! The road behind Xiaguan was blocked by a landslide! It should be caused by heavy rain... We have no way out."

"Your Excellency..." Fushimi's fingers were stiff, not knowing how to continue his work.

"Say."

"If we are dead, there is no reason for the Federation to refuse the request to send troops to the Japanese area." His ending voice suddenly rose slightly, as if mocking, and he continued: "If you only use the Fourth Army as a shield... then It doesn't matter if the whole army is wiped out..."

"Aren't we abandoned?"
