Chapter 116: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (21)
This small depression is not worth mentioning in the huge dark green square, but once it is pointed out, it is particularly obvious, like a spot of ink on white paper, which drives people with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.
Especially the dwarf is wearing a mask, which makes him even more different.
[I am dying of laughter, isn't this Shen Minghuan? I knew he was short but I didn't expect him to be so short hahaha]
[You said the word short twice, politely: Are you Shen Minghuan? ]
[I am crying and laughing now, fortunately there is no one around... Hey, that's not right! ]
[It's really not right, why is Shen Minghuan in the queue? ]
[Is Commander Shen also going to the front line? ]
After the initial teasing, the comment area suddenly realized the problem, and thousands of messages were posted instantly, all expressing doubts and dissatisfaction with the matter.
[What a joke, Shen Minghuan is only sixteen years old this year, letting a minor go to the battlefield, is the Alliance crazy? ]
[Is there no one left, no one wants me to go, I can only delay the Zerg for a second, and I won't let a child charge into battle! 】
【I can barely accept that seniors graduate early. Their average age is 24, and Shen Minghuan is eight years younger than them! How can it be the same!!!】
【I know that the wartime situation is very critical now. Colleges graduate early, the alliance prepares supplies, and the whole country shrinks resources to prioritize the front line. I understand, I can understand everything, but I can't accept letting a child go to the battlefield.】
【I thought that even if humans are extinct, some bottom lines cannot be broken. It was you who taught me to love children and told me that children are the future. Now that adults are not dead yet, you start to let children go to war? What about virtue, tradition, and the persistence of being human?】
The alliance has developed from the wilderness to the interstellar era and has experienced countless doomsdays.
The torture of human nature in disasters is particularly sharp. When the footsteps of the god of death gradually approach, He waved his scythe and asked: Do you want to die as a person with a clear conscience, or live like a beast?
The alliance took a detour and finally re-established order and consensus in the devastation.
Until now, people who grew up in such a history and culture are extremely persistent in their moral choices in times of crisis. Petty theft is understandable, and murder and arson are at most a few curses.
Only this kind of sacrifice and abandonment of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, they despise and reject from the bottom of their hearts, and they will not turn a blind eye to it as long as they see it.
[Shen Minghuan's excellence is not the reason for him to be treated like this. ]
[Please let the children return to school and leave the battlefield to adults. ]
The official members of the alliance have always been paying attention to the comment area in real time, and they felt bad when they saw the public outrage. They knew that it would cause dissatisfaction and opposition from the masses, but they did not expect it to be so serious.
It seems that the quality of their alliance citizens is still very high, the congressman thought with a smile.
The alliance urgently publicized and released an 800-word long article.
This article is much longer than the 30-word notice of the four major legions recruiting new members in advance. You can imagine how guilty the writer is.
The article talks about the past and the future, science and technology and humanities, recalls the ancestors, and asks for the truth. The above classics and history, and the brilliance of human nature are used to show the alliance's determination to remember history, and try to prove that they are still the original great and righteous organization, and have not become corrupted in the long river of time.
At the end, it is said that this is Comrade Shen Minghuan's voluntary and strong request.
After the alliance agreed to Principal Xie Xu, it contacted Shen Minghuan more than a dozen times. This person's attitude is unusually firm. They have persuaded him with kind words and threatened him with harsh words, but Shen Minghuan did not waver at all.
It has come to this point. If you don't agree, it will be hypocritical. After all, they really need talents now.
An S-class mecha can play a huge role on the battlefield and save too many lives. The alliance is an alliance of hundreds of millions of people. It is difficult for the alliance not to waver when it is beneficial to the people.
The article is written with sincerity and the members of parliament want to cut out their hearts to show their bright red.
Netizens calmed down a little after reading it, but they are still very angry when they think about it carefully.
[He said he wanted to go, so you let him go? He is ignorant, so are you also ignorant? ]
[Can't you enforce the laws you made? I've never seen you so easy to talk to. ]
[You can't even stop a child, don't let me look down on you! ]
Netizens tacitly poured into the official square of the alliance and spoke passionately under this notice, without polluting the live comment area of the swearing-in ceremony.
Each one was like a schizophrenia, first shouting "Wish the heroes a smooth triumph" in the live broadcast, and then quickly switched to the official square and cursed "How did you do it?" The speed of their attitude and emotional changes was amazing.
Shen Minghuan only knew about this after the swearing-in ceremony.
He had led troops many times and participated in many battles, and had a lot of experience in swearing-in. But he was usually the one who spoke in the front, and this was the first time he stood in the middle of the crowd.
No wonder Mo Zi cried, people are really easily moved by the environment, and being among a bunch of high-spirited people, even he was a little excited.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the Star Network, I saw someone saying he was short.
Shen Minghuan: “…”
He gritted his teeth and replied to the long article, and even asked the official to use his privileges to pin his comment to the top.
[I fought hard to get this opportunity, don’t hurt me, if I lose the opportunity to go to the front line because of this, I will hack into the Star Network and ban all of you!
Moreover, I am not sixteen this year, I am already seventeen, don't call me a child!
Most importantly, I'm not short! ! !
My height is normal for my age! I will grow again! 】
The alliance quickly pinned it to the top and even secretly commented on it, expressing its admiration and touch for Shen Minghuan’s sacrificial spirit of “not listening to advice” and secretly saying that he had already tried his best.
Finally, it was said that the army would still give the recruits an adaptation period. During this process, if Shen Minghuan regrets, he can quit at any time, and they will send them back to the First Army.
Although the netizens in the comment area were still worried and reluctant, the parties concerned wanted it, and the alliance had preparations and plans, so they reluctantly accepted it.
[Hahahahaha, the conductor is so cute, what he said seems to be true, and he even hacked into the star network to ban us. What a new and interesting but useless way of threatening us. 】
[Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. (Remember to tell me before the commander silences me, and I will cooperate with you.)]
[The way he said seriously that he was seventeen and not sixteen made me doubt his age and reminded me of my seven-year-old nephew. But then again, did the commander celebrate his birthday after the military exercise? 】
[You are still a minor even if you are nineteen years old. 】
【right! That's right! Command you are not short, you are just not tall hehehe. 】

Few people know that the First Military Academy History Museum has a negative first floor.
It was empty except for a slightly broken mecha in the center.
Because no one has been here for a long time, the lights on the first floor are always turned off and it is pitch dark. However, today with a "pop", someone pressed the switch at the door.
The first floor below was suddenly brightly lit.
The space is equipped with a self-purification system. Although it has been dusty for sixteen years, there is not much dust. The mechas dragged back from the battlefield have been specially washed, and the metal shell is clean and shiny under the light.
There is less blood stains and less smoke on the border, but the staggered dents and cracked body on it show how fierce a war it has experienced.
Mosnian looked blankly at the mecha named "Hope" by its owner.
This is the top mecha in the alliance, the only SS-class one that has ever gone on the battlefield. It has made great contributions to its owner, Tang Chaoyan, and has been the "dream love armor" of countless people.
"Si Nian, move quickly. Although I have temporarily invaded the surveillance system here, I will definitely be discovered after a long time."
Lu Zhiyi's anxious urging came from the communicator in his ear.
"I know." It was also the first time for Mosnian to do such a bad thing. He was a little guilty and frightened, but he quickly became firm.
There is no better opportunity than this. The alliance is struggling with the frontline war. All eyes are focused on the swearing-in ceremony in Makino Square. The First Army is on holiday, and all the students and teachers went to the square to watch the ceremony.
If he missed this time, he would never get another chance to get close to this mecha.
Mosnian clenched his fist and strode forward, "Zhiyi, thank you."
Lu Zhiyi didn't know the reason, and he had no reason to come here. He would do such a thing out of his trust in Mosnian.
Lu Zhiyi gritted his teeth: "The situation is urgent. You do what you have to do first, but you'd better give me an explanation afterwards."
"Definitely." Mosnian responded in a low voice. He circled the mecha twice and looked up and down carefully.
The mecha is too tall, so in order to save space, it is "sitting".
This is a treasure developed for war. It is covered with sharp killing weapons. Now it "sitting" motionless, it has long lost its former sharpness.
Lu Zhiyi reminded nervously: "It took us a long time to hack into the system and sneak in. The swearing-in ceremony is almost over. Si Nian, how long do you want?"
Sweat broke out from the tip of Mosnian's nose, and he was obviously very anxious, "Right away, I'm going to be there soon, very soon."
Even sitting down, the mecha was too tall for him. Mosnian wondered if the target was on the mecha's head, but the area was completely empty and there was really nothing to stand on.
Mosnian was debating whether to climb up directly on the mecha.
"Mosnian, are you still not feeling well? What are you looking for?" Lu Zhiyi received the optical brain message from Yan Ji, which said that the crowd had dispersed. He searched for them in Makino Square for a long time and didn't see them, so he asked them Where have people gone?
That's right, their actions were hidden from Yan Ji.
It's not that I don't trust it, it's just that this matter is not very honorable, and one less person is better than one person.
Mosnian closed his eyes forcefully and said decisively: "It's a small mechanism similar to a button. It's relatively hidden. I don't know where it is."
"Button..." Lu Zhiyi had an idea, "Mosnian, look at the lower back!"
The mecha is meant to fight the Zerg in close combat. Since it is a useful mechanism, it will not be placed in a position that is easily damaged. The arms and legs must be eliminated first.
The chest, neck, and head are critical points for humans, but not for mechas. They can even be used as means of attack.
Only the back.
No soldier will give his back to the enemy on the battlefield!
And for convenience, the lower back is most likely.
Mosnian immediately followed the instructions and checked, and sure enough he saw an imperceptible bulge.
His eyes lit up and he quickly covered it with his fingers.
