Chapter 89 The Hero Who Fell from the Sky
He Kui came out of the transport plane and quickly balanced the state of the machine with the help of Xigu's high maneuverability.
Looking down from above the clouds, the Eurasian Federation's tank troops were vaguely visible marching.
On the other side, the base of Gibraltar was also faintly visible in the distance.
Fortunately, it’s not far.
After all, the transport planes have to slow down and turn, so no matter how fast they go, they will not be able to reach the heart of the Eurasian Federation directly.
"We are now in the middle of both sides. It seems that the Eurasian Federation is planning to attack Gibraltar."
Shihe reported.
"It's to cover up their plan."
He Kui said this while adjusting Xi Gu's flying posture.
The huge wing-like thrusters on the back started reverse thrust and flew towards Gibraltar.
However, this armor is still unable to maintain sustained flight in the atmosphere.
At this time, it would be more accurate to say that they were gliding towards Gibraltar rather than flying.
However, no matter how fast they glided, they would eventually land. Soon, an alarm sounded inside the fuselage, indicating that they were being locked.
The shells from several linear artillery vehicles below simultaneously attacked He Kui, like meteors shot from the ground, drawing bright and hot arcs and rushing towards them with seemingly destructive power.
Linear artillery vehicles, that is the main strategy of the Earth Federation's defense against MS airborne forces.
Although it's low-tech, it's very useful.
The ordinary Jinn is like a falling target in the air, but this Xigu is different. The powerful power and the six posture adjustment nozzles installed on the legs have brought the aerial flexibility of this machine to a new level.
He Kui cancelled gliding, and several fine-tuning nozzles worked at full capacity at the same time. At this moment, he was like a flexible and graceful dancer in the air.
However, the artillery fire at the scene was much more intense than that at L4. No matter how hard he tried to dodge, there was still a bullet that slipped through and hit He Kui's shoulder shield directly, creating a bright spark.
The automatic balance maintenance system inside the system starts working.
Xi Gu was off balance for only a moment before he immediately adjusted his posture.
Soon, Xigu's weapon launched a counterattack under Shihe's control. The high-energy pulse cannon in his hand left a burning mark in the air and violently headed towards the ground.
A huge explosion soon occurred below, and the flying dust spread, making it more difficult for the opponent to lock on.
As soon as one wave of troubles subsided, another wave arose. The pressure here had just been reduced when the vanguard fighter formation in the distance was rapidly approaching the two of them.
Seeing the missiles from six machines pouring towards the two of them, He Kui used the Vulcan cannons on both arms to intercept them while maneuvering the machine to dodge continuously.
At this moment, behind He Kui, a team consisting of three Dean planes spread their wings behind them and began to rush towards He Kui to provide support.
The simultaneous firing of the anti-aircraft shotgun in his hand helped He Kui eliminate many threats from the air.
And below, the same three Bakus had already rushed into the battle zone where He Kui was currently located, disrupting the situation below, and the firing frequency of the linear artillery had also been significantly reduced.
With the support of friendly forces, Shihe's high-energy pulse cannon and various long-range weapons finally had room to play.
Without showing any mercy, she controlled both shoulder beam cannons to fire simultaneously.
With the help of Assistant Haro, two Pioneer fighters not far away exploded one after another.
The high-energy pulse cannon in her hand directly crossed the center of the enemy's position. The heavy armor of the tank was like a paper toy in front of the high-energy pulse cannon.
Just a sweep caused countless explosions.
Many coalition soldiers lost their lives in the explosion before they could react.
"Monster! Die!"
Although they knew that the blue devil on the opposite side would not hear them, the fear in the hearts of the pilots of several Pioneer fighters turned into a rage that burned everything, and they roared and rushed towards Xigu.
However, the only Vulcan cannons they had left could not pose any threat to Xigu.
Xigu's single eye swept over, and the beam weapon on his shoulder fired instantly again, turning the Vanguard fighter that was charging towards them with machine guns into fireworks in the sky.
In the face of such powerful firepower, the Eurasian Federation's offensive in one direction was abruptly interrupted.
On the other side, the morale of the ZAFT soldiers was high at this time. Looking at the machine that was slowly descending in the air not far away and kept shooting and destroying the enemy's forces, everyone showed admiration and worship. To them, this machine was no different from a hero who landed directly in the enemy's hinterland to help them win.
"Director He, I'm Samir Kapur, the deputy chief of staff at the Gibraltar base."
As soon as they got off the plane, a senior military officer in white uniform came up to them, but he looked at the two of them with a slightly frown, looking very puzzled.
"I'll get straight to the point. Why are you here at our front line?"
Unlike ordinary soldiers, the deputy chief of staff knew the inside story and knew that He Kui was not a strong reinforcement at all.
If it weren't for He Kui's excellent driving skills, he might have died in the concentrated fire of the Eurasian Federation before they could arrive to help.
Think of the problems a future star director would face if he died in his own war zone.
Samir Kapoor couldn't stop sweating on his forehead.
"Staff Officer Kapur, this is the captain's conversation, and his route also proves his plan."
As He Kui spoke, he played the recording that Yuangungun had overheard.
".Where is he now?"
"I don't know. He should be dead. We used Xigu to blow open the hatch and get out."
"We will deal with this matter seriously and will give you an explanation."
The deputy staff officer said with a serious expression upon hearing this.
"I understand, but I will also convey this matter to the National Defense Committee."
Although He Kui's tone was still polite at this time, he frowned. No one could be happy after being tricked like this.
Although the position of the other party's deputy chief of staff is equivalent to that of deputy director.
But he is not one of his soldiers, and giving in blindly will only make him bully him.
"Words from the National Defense Committee"
Hearing He Kui's words, the deputy chief of staff smiled apologetically.
Using He Kui's arrival to boost morale was indeed a way for them to circumvent the decision of the National Defense Committee.
To be precise, although it was not approved, it was not rejected either.
It would be fine if it happened privately, but if He Kui really complained and reported it to the National Defense Committee, it would be difficult for them to handle the matter.
"If Director He's recent military exploits are reported truthfully, they will surely be very impressive. In my opinion, you are a hero who volunteered to fight when he saw a soldier in trouble. Of course, we can also do this privately..."
The deputy staff officer pulled He Kui and his voice became lower and lower until it disappeared completely.
He Kui was also thinking after hearing this. If it was a normal situation, he could ignore the reputation, but if he wanted to move to the position of deputy director, then a good reputation could indeed help him a lot.
By then, the deputy director will have no reason to suppress him.
As for the issue of assassinations that may come in the future.
He was destined to be targeted by the coalition forces. After all, the fact that he was a weapons developer was enough for them to kill him.
The added benefits of this fame far outweigh the added dangers to him.
And from what the other party said, they would pay money to settle the matter.
"In this case."
He Kui frowned and did not agree immediately.
If you agree too quickly, people will feel like they've been at a disadvantage, but if you take it a little longer and pretend to be embarrassed, the other person may be grateful to you.
Of course, too much is as bad as too little, so just find the right balance.
"Haha, Director He, Director Hanifs, let's go inside and talk in detail. You have helped us and performed great services this time, and the power of the weapons has also been verified. You two have made great contributions."
Hearing that He Kui's attitude had softened, the deputy staff officer immediately and warmly invited the two to go to the rest area near the logistics department.
