Chapter 115: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (20)

Xie Xu was taking Shen Minghuan to visit the new house when the optical brain on his wrist suddenly vibrated.

He raised his hand and glanced casually, his brows suddenly frowned tightly, and the raised corners of his mouth were retracted, as if he had seen very bad news, and his expression was extremely serious.

"Ming Huan, I want to go back to school first, you..."

"I'll go back with you."

Shen Minghuan spoke first, and finally asked worriedly: "Teacher, is the situation on the front line very bad?"

Xie Xu walked in a hurry and sighed when he heard the words, "In recent years, the number of Zerg attacks has become more and more frequent. In the past, such large-scale attacks only happened once every few years. But since a few years ago, there will be one every spring during the Zerg breeding season. A tough battle has to be fought. It ended more than a month ago and it has started again.”

Xie Xu frowned even more, worried: "The alliance has suffered heavy casualties and has not yet recovered. I don't know if this time..."

He suddenly realized that these heavy topics seemed inappropriate to bring up in front of a minor, so he smiled deliberately and changed the subject, "You have not caught up with the good times. I remember it should be five or six years ago. The alliance was peaceful for a whole decade. . Although there were small winds and waves, it basically didn’t have much impact.”

Five or six years ago, it was quiet for ten years.

That was almost sixteen years ago.

"Can I go?" Shen Minghuan asked suddenly.

This was said so inexplicably that Xie Xu didn't react for a moment: "What?"

Shen Minghuan raised his head and said seriously: "Teacher, I want to go to the front line."

"Absolutely not!" Xie Xu almost fell down, but he quickly stood up, "Ming Huan, you don't have to worry about this. Before you become an adult, just stay in school with peace of mind."

The aircraft was very fast and arrived at the school in a short time.

Xie Xu jumped off the aircraft and walked quickly towards the office, menacingly, with a hint of embarrassment and anger on his brows.

Shen Minghuan followed him persistently: "But teacher, you also said that the school has nothing to teach me."

Xie Xu stopped helplessly: "Ming Huan, no one stipulates that you must learn something. Growth can be a slow thing without pursuing utilitarianism."

He said funnyly: "Cherish the time you can still waste your time with confidence. When you become an adult, I won't object even if you want to live on the front line, but it is definitely not possible now."

"Teacher." Shen Minghuan was unusually insistent: "I have seen data analysis and it turns out that only SS-class mechas can enter the Zerg nest to destroy the Zerg Queen."

He ran in front of Xie Xu, "You know, I'm not S-class, I'm..."

Xie Xu covered his mouth: "Do you want to die?!"

Shen Minghuan blinked innocently.

"Ming Huan, this matter is not something I can decide." Xie Xu rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Do you know that it is illegal to allow minors to go to the battlefield? I agree with the laws of the alliance and cannot agree to it."

Shen Minghuan refused to give up and said: "Subject to urgency, the alliance plans to let the seniors graduate early, so it doesn't matter if they make an exception for me."

"That's because...wait!"

Xie Xu reacted, "How do you know that the league wants seniors to graduate early? Even I just received the news."

He was so excited just now because of this incident, and he came back in a hurry to stop it.

Shen Minghuan sighed: "Teacher, I have been paying attention to the Heroes' Square on the Star Network. There have been too many numbers added in the past two months. And... I have seen most of the names on the list of outstanding graduates of the military academy."

He said softly: "Teacher, the main players are all sacrificed, right? I know the alliance has no choice. If the seniors are not allowed to go, the alliance will fall."

It's only October now. Logically speaking, it won't be until June of the next year that this class of seniors graduates.

Then the legion begins to recruit people, and the newly recruited recruits will also have a period of protection. They will not be sent to the front line immediately, and they will not face life and death before they are ready.

The artillery fire on the battlefield was merciless, and the length of life was condensed into a short moment. Every day, people closed their eyes forever on that land.

But even though death has become so frequent and common, the Alliance is still doing its best to give all soldiers a chance to live.

Principal Xie Xu was of course reluctant to part with him. He had just sent away a group of students, and now this class of seniors had only been seniors for a month.

His first thought when he received the news was to "dismiss" and he wanted to protect his students.

But he didn't know what reason to use.

An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, a hundred thousand students and a hundred thousand soldiers.

This sounds very heroic, but if the situation is not serious enough, the alliance will not allow this idea to be proposed.

Who wants this kind of heroic legend written with tragedy?

"So, teacher, you have to agree to my going." Shen Minghuan said, "Even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe in the SS-class mecha. With me here, I can reduce a lot of casualties."

He raised a finger and said, "I promise I won't be brave and I will save my life. After all, I can only be the Queen of the Zerg."

He actually felt proud at the end, and declared in the second place: "Teacher, you see, it is the alliance that needs me."

Xie Xu knocked his head in a funny way, "Others avoid him, but you are the only one who takes it as pride."

"Don't reveal your SS-level talent level yet." Xie Xu emphasized again, "Wait until I think about it carefully and find a suitable time. Will you wait until I know the news?"

SS-level is enough to play a key role on the battlefield. It cannot be concealed forever, but it must be distinguished from Tang Chaoyan.

Shen Minghuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Teacher, then this matter..." Shen Minghuan cautiously tested.

Xie Xu was silent for a moment, "I can't agree, but I promise you that I will tell the alliance for you, but I can't control whether they agree or not."

Two hours later.

Xie Xu sent a message to Shen Minghuan: [The alliance agreed. ]

Shen Minghuan could feel the other party's depression and grievance through the light brain, and he almost laughed out loud.

*

The most difficult decision has been made, and the following things are cheaper sooner rather than later.

Major military academies announced the early graduation notice to the senior students, and the alliance also informed all citizens that the legion will recruit an additional batch of new soldiers this year.

This is the only requirement that Principal Xie Xu compromised: no coercion.

Graduation is graduation, but whether to join the army and go to the front line at this time must be left to the students themselves.

"That's natural." The congressman who was in contact with the alliance was half proud and half sentimental, "When has the alliance ever forced anyone?"

For many years, the alliance has experienced natural disasters, suffered man-made disasters, resisted foreign enemies, endured turmoil, and had moments of life and death, but from beginning to end, every hero's choice was voluntary.

The congressman is proud of his country and proud of his compatriots.

In fact, Xie Xu also knew that this request was unnecessary. Who would come to the military academy if they were afraid of death?

He has a group of great students.

The alliance has a group of great citizens.

The notice was concise and only a few sentences were issued, but the content was really far from the alliance's past style of doing things. Either the alliance has changed, or it has to do so due to reality.

In fact, there is nothing to doubt.

How could they not believe in their own country?

The alliance received many application forms, and almost all senior students who graduated early from military academies responded. Many people who did not go to military academies or had graduated many years ago also did not hesitate to do so.

It's just that the alliance is selecting people to fight the enemy, not recruiting people to die, so even in such an emergency, the selection standards have not been lowered at all.

According to convention, before the successfully selected recruits officially leave the safe rear area to go to the front line, the alliance will hold a grand oath-taking ceremony, and this ceremony will also be broadcast live on the Star Network to all citizens.

Inspiring ambition is one aspect, but more importantly, it is to announce their existence to everyone.

Remember these childish young faces, remember that they set out from today, and remember the determination in their eyes.

Remember that they may never come back, and we should always remember the touch of this moment.

The efficiency of the alliance is very fast, not to mention that with the full cooperation of the whole country, the selection went smoothly.

Ten days later, the Star Network live broadcast started on time.

In Muye Square, tens of thousands of soldiers stood upright.

A month ago, they were still carrying schoolbags and fighting wits and courage with teachers on campus. The biggest worry was how to not do homework naturally.

A month later, they have put on dark green military uniforms and shouldered the eyes of thousands of people.

【This is the youth of our alliance! 】

【Sometimes I wonder if the Legion has a hidden standard for recruiting people. They are all so good-looking, it's hard for me to believe it's a coincidence. 】

【When things are difficult, look at this picture and you will feel that there is still hope. They haven't given up on us, so why should we give up on ourselves? 】

【Although, I would rather not see it, and would rather they never have the chance to be heroes. 】

【I am both excited and uncomfortable. This is not a drill. 】

【Everyone, don't be so pessimistic. When the oath is over, the little heroes may also read the comments section. Don't affect their mood. 】

【It's just to fight the Zerg. It's not like we can't come back. Cheer up! 】

【Ah, don't say such unlucky words. We will definitely be able to return alive. Go, go, go, beat the stink bugs. 】

【Strange, why is there a concave part in the middle? 】

The soldiers had firm eyes, and their salutes and steps were all like they were carved from the same mold, neat and tidy.

There is no height requirement for military academy enrollment, after all, even short people can operate mechas. But in the interstellar era, most babies can get the most professional care before they are born, and advanced medicine is enough to kill genetic diseases and obvious genetic defects in advance.

With today's living conditions, they basically won't be hungry.

Nutrient solution suitable for all ages ensures that their daily energy intake is reasonable and balanced, and home treatment devices can also remind them in time to make up for what they lack.

In addition, they can pass the physical fitness test of the military academy, so they naturally exercise a lot in their daily lives, so they all grow tall and strong.

The height difference of the recruits is not big, and they are at most a little curved when they are lined up together. Unexpectedly, a deep pit suddenly appeared in the middle, which was at least 20 centimeters lower.

emmm...

[Although, although this description is not very good, I think your description is right, my friend, it is vivid and there are pictures to prove the truth. 】
