Mecha and Knife

If I didn't teach him Wing Chun, didn't support him to realize his dream to go to the military academy...

With a bang, Ji Xinghe's fist hit the wooden dummy pile, and the pile turned and two iron rods hit his body, but he blocked it with his elbows and knees raised.

Because the punch just now was too strong, the two sticks hurt a little, and the fist also hurt.

But Ji Xinghe is very comfortable, as if physical pain can relieve inner pain, in this house full of memories related to Ji Chenxing, how could he not be in pain?

After eating and drinking enough to practice boxing and eliminate food, the 65-year-old body exploded with unprecedented strength in a square inch.

Apply ointment to treat iron damage, drink medicinal wine that nourishes qi, nourishes blood and strengthens vitality, anesthetizes oneself so that he will not dream when he sleeps, will not wake up from the dream, and will not see the pillow wet with tears when he wakes up.

On the seventh day, the iron wooden dummy suddenly broke, as if it had finally been overwhelmed after persisting for 30 years, and it seemed that Ji Xinghe's kung fu had finally advanced a step further.

The fact should be the former, but Ji Xinghe hopes it is the latter.

A sentence he once said to Ji Chenxing kept echoing in his mind: "Son, don't believe in the limit, because if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist."

Chapter 007 He Can Do Anything

"Girl, you are 29 and still not looking for a partner. Are you planning to die alone?"

"Mom, why are you 29 years old? I'm only 18 years old and 132 months old."

"Fart, let me tell you, if you don't bring a boyfriend back this Chinese New Year, I'll arrange a blind date for you."

"Blind date is blind date. Find me an old man. The one with a house, savings, and pension is the best."

"Okay, let me tell you, why don't you fall in love with a dead woman? It turns out that you have taken a fancy to Lao Ji. Say, have you made a private appointment with him for life? This old Ji, at the age of 70 or [-], still dares to hook up with me Girl, I'm going to find him now."

The daughter looked helpless: "Go, go, I can tell you that Lao Ji's son belongs to the Space Fleet and is a mech warrior. If you make fun of him in front of him, I won't release you on bail if you get caught."

The common people of the Federation have always respected the soldiers of the Federation, because the Federation is now at war, the Azure Planet can be stable and peaceful, and the people of the Federation can go to the zoo to see the orangutans and monkeys, instead of being locked in the zoo and being watched by the orangutans and monkeys, it is because of the Federation Soldiers built defensive positions with their lives on the front line.

Fend off enemies beyond the planet.

Among the federal soldiers, mecha fighters are the most respected branch. It is only one of the reasons why mecha fighters look handsome when driving mechas in battle. It is also because only 30 of the tens of millions of federal soldiers can become Mecha warriors, and tens of millions of Federation soldiers themselves were selected from the 80 billion Federation humans.

From a certain point of view, the 30 mecha fighters were selected from among the 80 billion people in the Federation, and each of them was truly one in a million.

"Hmph, it's amazing. It's not that you don't live up to expectations. If you get married early and give birth to a grandson, you might be able to participate in the conscription now."

"Even if I get married earlier, the child will be eight years old at most."

"What's wrong with being eight years old, you can't use machine armor at the age of eight, can't you build a smaller mecha?"

The girl was speechless, but suddenly remembered that today was the official conscription day in Xinfengcheng, so she hurriedly turned on the TV at home to watch the live broadcast.

The nagging old lady finally stopped and looked at the TV. Everyone in the Federation was very concerned about this federal conscription activity, because this was the first time that the federal military directly faced the entire Federation's public conscription activity. Conscription, except for conscripts, is enlisted after voluntarily submitting an application for approval and passing the examination.

Many people have been alarmist on the Internet, saying that the Federation is about to be unable to defend the alien front, and that the monkeys of the empire have found a way to directly open the jump gate on the blue planet, and those imperial orangutans will drive the mechs directly. Jumping out of the leap gate, the war is about to be transferred from the alien front to the blue star.

Federal officials have a negative attitude towards this, saying only that this is a normal conscription activity, an attempt to change the past conscription model, etc. Some people believe the federal official, and some believe the Internet threat, but no matter what they believe, when the conscription activity is in the entire federation In the beginning, there were countless followers.

"Friends from the audience, this is Xinfengcheng TV station. I am Pei Jing, the on-site reporter, and I am broadcasting for you at Xinfengcheng Stadium. Because today is the weekend, there are very, very many people who came to the scene, except for those who signed up for the conscription assessment In addition, there are many people who sent them to the scene. Now, let us interview them... Grandpa, this gentleman, don’t squeeze in. The inside is the place for the registration and verification of identities. You squeeze in It’s useless to go, why don’t you accept my interview.”

The scene on the TV shocked the mother and daughter in the living room at the same time.

"Old Ji?"

The same exclamation sounded in many houses in this community, and also in the auto repair shop where Ji Xinghe worked for 40 years, and also in the Xinfengcheng Police Station, and in the detention center where Ji Xinghe stayed a few days ago sounded.

Because in the live broadcast, the person who was pushing into the crowd but was stopped by the reporter was Ji Xinghe.

Ji Xinghe, who felt that his skills had greatly increased, came a step late because he went to forge his weapon along the way, so he saw a sea of ​​people in front of him, and he felt that he might not be able to squeeze in.

"Master, Master?"

Pei Jing handed the microphone in front of Ji Xinghe, and shouted in the noisy crowd: "Are you here to send your grandson to participate in the conscription assessment?"

Ji Xinghe thought for a while with a blank expression, and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to squeeze in. He wanted to find another way, and he would do whatever it took to accomplish his goal.He dared to steal an individual starship from the police station, let alone other things?

"No, I'm not here to send my grandson to participate in the conscription assessment."

"Oh? Is that for your son?"

"It's not for my son, because...my son has already joined the army. His name is Ji Chenxing. He graduated from the Mecha Department of Longzhou Military Academy with No. 3 grades in the same period. Mech Warrior."

The surrounding noise suddenly became much quieter, and the people who heard the sound looked at Ji Xinghe with surprise, envy, and respect.

Pei Jing didn't expect that she found a big fish at random, and asked excitedly: "Then are you here to see your son Ji Chenxing? Is he here for conscription? Will your son perform mecha performances?" Can I directly join the mecha unit and become a mecha warrior this time?"

Ji Xinghe was silent for a while. Although he decided to use all means, it was still very difficult to really say something.

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Ji Xinghe spoke to the camera.

"No, my son didn't come to the conscription because... he has already sacrificed."

The surroundings became quiet in an instant. This kind of quietness seemed to be contagious. The hundreds of thousands of people gathered outside the Xinfengcheng Stadium gradually became quieter.

In fact, it was just because many people were watching the live broadcast on their mobile phones, so they saw Ji Xinghe and heard what Ji Xinghe said.

And the number of people who can see Ji Xinghe is definitely more than hundreds of thousands, and it is definitely not just people from Xinfeng City. Each period of this Federation's conscription activity is based on ten cities, and in this period ten cities Among the cities, Xinfeng City has the largest population, so the audience who paid attention to the conscription scene in Xinfeng City also had the largest number of viewers.

"My condolences."

After Pei Jing came back to her senses, she made a sound and bowed deeply to Ji Xinghe. This scene was faithfully captured by the camera and spread. I don't know how many people were moved by it, and I don't know how many people I'm scolding this reporter for making too much drama.

"Mr., your son's sacrifice is for all of us. We will not let his sacrifice be in vain. We will definitely avenge your son and more heroes who died on the front line of the alien planet. Our Federation... ..."

"Girl, can you answer me a question?" Ji Xinghe directly interrupted Pei Jing's provocative words, but no one blamed him, because this is a hero's father.

"Old man, please ask."

"My son's revenge, why do you need to help me avenge it?"

what?

Everyone around was stunned, and the audience who watched the show were also stunned for a moment.

Reporter Pei Jing's reaction was very quick: "Mr., because your son died for us, for the entire Federation, we all have the responsibility and obligation to avenge him. From the perspective of our Federation and the Empire Look, this is not just revenge, but..."

"Wait." Ji Xinghe interrupted the reporter again, and then asked: "You mean, my son died for the entire Federation, so everyone in the Federation has the responsibility and obligation to avenge him? "

Is there any language problem?Will it be elevated?Did you say something you shouldn't have said?

Pei Jing's little brain was running fast, and then she gritted her teeth.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"That girl, am I a member of the Federation?"

"Yes, of course you are."

"Do I have the responsibility and obligation to avenge my son?"

"Ah?" Pei Jing couldn't understand Ji Xinghe's brain circuit at all, nodded subconsciously and said: "Of course, you are not only a member of the Federation, but also the father of your son. Of course, you have the responsibility and obligation to help him avenge."

When he finally got to this point, Ji Xinghe continued to ask the camera with a blank face: "Then I want to join the army, I want to go to the front line of the alien star, and I want to avenge my son, is there a problem?"

All those who saw Ji Xinghe's old face and heard Ji Xinghe's hoarse voice subconsciously answered in their minds: No problem.

Chapter 008 Something Expected

"Chen Xing sacrificed?"

In the largest auto repair shop in Xinfeng City, the car repair masters gathered in front of the TV were full of disbelief.

Some of them grew up watching Ji Chenxing, and some grew up with Ji Chenxing. In those years, Ji Xinghe often brought Ji Chenxing to the repair shop, and taught Ji Chenxing when he was working and teaching apprentices, but Ji Chenxing is not very keen on learning how to repair cars.

It's not because Ji Chenxing is not easy to learn. The old people in the repair shop know that Ji Chenxing only wants to learn how to drive mechas and how to repair mechas, but no one in this repair shop knows how to do these things. They only know how to repair cars.

For this reason, Ji Xinghe began to teach himself how to drive and repair mechas, but the problem was that Ji Xinghe, who only had theoretical knowledge, could not convince Ji Chenxing, nor could he convince other people in the repair shop, so Ji Chenxing never followed Ji Xinghe learned knowledge about machine repair and driving.

"So, in the morning, Lao Ji came over to forge two knives..."

A master craftsman who was about to retire suddenly made a sound, which reminded the other people in the repair shop of the scene they had seen when they came to work in the morning.

In the open space outside the warehouse, Ji Xinghe moved out a special alloy plate specially used by the auto repair shop to modify the bulletproof function of the space flying car, and then cut, shaped and polished it with the tools of the auto repair shop.

Those were two short knives, both of which had hand guards. After they were successfully built, they did not strike. Ji Xinghe argued with the owner of the repair shop and the car repairers for a long time while insisting on giving the money, but he never said why he To make two knives.

The people in the repair shop thought about going to Ji Xinghe's house after work today. Although Ji Xinghe has always been stable and honest, it is often this kind of person who will make big things happen.I have made knives by myself, so it must be worrying.

However, before they got off work today to find Ji Xinghe, they already knew the reason.

The people in the repair shop were silent. When they heard the question Ji Xinghe asked on the TV, they subconsciously wanted to answer 'no problem', but their rationality told them that there was a big problem.

Old Ji, you are too old.

The same people who had this idea included those who knew him in Jixinghe Community, people from the Xinfengcheng Police Station, people from the detention center, and many, many spectators.

They all felt that there was nothing wrong with Ji Xinghe wanting to avenge his son who died on the battlefield, but they also thought there was a big problem with it.

……

Pei Jing, who was interviewing Ji Xinghe outside the Xinfengcheng Gymnasium, couldn't say the words no problem, even if these four words appeared in her mind just now, she almost blurted it out, but she couldn't. After blurting it out for the first time, I couldn't say it again.

"Mister, you..." Pei Jing composed words in her mind, but couldn't think of any more suitable words, so she could only say helplessly, "You are too old, I think you are almost 60 years old, right?"

Ji Xinghe, who is 65 years old, looks like he is almost 60 years old, but whether he is almost 60 years old or 65 years old, he is an old man.

"I'm 65 years old." Ji Xinghe looked at the camera and answered Pei Jing's words. This was not because he was arrogant, but because he wanted to use public opinion by all means: "But at the age of 65, can't I avenge my son? Can’t you join the army and serve the Federation? At 65 years old, you’ll be useless, living is a waste of resources, can’t you provide any help to our society?”

Is this still the honest and stable Ji Xinghe?

People who know Ji Xinghe feel that Ji Xinghe has changed, and those who don't know Ji Xinghe think that Ji Xinghe is relying on the old to sell the old, is rising to heights, and is being slapped with a big hat.

For example, Pei Jing now feels like riding a tiger. People aged 65 and above account for 17.2% of the total federal population. This is a very high proportion. The aging of the federal population is already serious.If she didn't answer well, it would be equivalent to offending the 17.2% of the elderly, and losing her job would be a trivial matter.

Why didn't the director's voice sound from the earphones? I'm still broadcasting my interview at this time. Is there something wrong?

The director of Xinfengcheng TV station is actually very innocent. If he dares to cut this live broadcast at this time, his job may be lost.The real-time rising ratings show that many people are watching, many people want to watch, and many people will watch it later. If you prevent them from seeing it, you will offend them.

This Pei Jing, with so many people, you interviewed him instead of interviewing him, is she trying to make trouble?

"That's not what I meant, old sir."

Pei Jing looked at Ji Xinghe with aggrieved eyes. She is a beautiful woman. In the past, her eyes were always invincible, but today she is facing Ji Xinghe, which is equivalent to Ji Xinghe who has been fighting for a lifetime. The year-old Ji Xinghe was said by Major General Tu Yuan to be a year-old Ji Xinghe.

"Then what do you mean?" Ji Xinghe had no expression on his face, and his tone was indifferent: "Then what do you mean? You said that you can sign up to join the army. Why am I here but not allowed to sign up?"

Pei Jing finally discovered the blind spot: "Mr., no one prevents you from signing up, but after signing up, there are physical fitness tests and professional skills tests. You can't pass the test at your age."

Ji Xinghe continued to look at the camera: "What if I can pass these tests?"

Pei Jing didn't want to answer, but everyone around her remained silent, and she had to respond before the live broadcast was interrupted while holding a microphone.

"Of course I can join the army."

"I think it should be like this." Ji Xinghe finally left the camera to look around, and asked loudly: "What about you? Do you think so?"

Some good people echoed, some persuaded with kind words, and some kept taking pictures with their mobile phones. The surroundings became noisy again. Pei Jing was relieved, but soon brought it up again.

"Little girl." Ji Xinghe looked at Pei Jing: "You are a reporter and you want to interview, so do you want to interview and live broadcast my process of participating in the assessment?"

"what?"

Pei Jing really wanted to refuse, but the voice from the earphones forced her to agree.

"Okay, old sir, as long as the federal military doesn't stop us, we can broadcast it live."

It was not clear whether the federal military would stop Ji Xinghe. He walked towards the registration verification place. This time, the crowd moved away automatically, and Pei Jing and the cameraman followed closely behind him.

"Hello, I want to enlist in the army, here is my ID card."

You have to register online in advance, we only review and verify your identity here.

The staff at the registration office couldn't say these two sentences, because behind Ji Xinghe, hundreds of people were looking at them directly, and there were more people who couldn't look at them directly, but they were looking at them in various ways. They were also looking at Ji Xinghe's back.

And this time the conscription does only set a lower age limit, which is not a mistake, because there are physical fitness and other assessments, the old men and women are very good at dancing square dances and squeezing the bus to get eggs, but they will not come to participate in the assessment to be ashamed.

No one could have expected that a 65-year-old man would come to sign up, and the reason was even more difficult for people to refuse in person: he wanted to avenge his son, who died on the front line for the Federation.

"it is good."

The staff began to register Ji Xinghe's identity information and arranged for the physical fitness test. Pei Jing began to communicate with the staff and asked if they could enter it to shoot and broadcast live. The staff began to apply to their superiors, and Pei Jing was authorized without any accident.

This is an open conscription activity, and the top executives of the federal military also hope to gain more attention and attract more people to join the army.

Because only the top brass of the federal military know that they are really about to be overwhelmed.
