Counterfeit Hero

On the planet Mars, beacons are everywhere.

No one thought that this world, which relied on the structure of schools and maintained a unique social form for thousands of years, would be so tragic once a war broke out.

The situation quickly deteriorated to an unbearable level.

The melee between the three major factions turned the entire Mars galaxy into a huge strangulation ground. The passage to Mars Freeport was completely blocked, and business groups, smuggling ships, and free transport fleets all fled. Port cargo throughput dropped by 99 percent! Almost cut off.

For people on this depleted planet, it is impossible to survive without a continuous input of food, energy and other necessary living materials. The outbreak of the war has cut off the supply of public environmental balance systems, energy, electricity, and domestic water systems in many places. The input of materials has been cut off, which has caused the prices of food, drinking water and other daily necessities to skyrocket.

The city is divided among itself, many places have been turned into ruins by the warring parties, and fierce fighting is taking place in every street. Tens of thousands of innocent civilians died in unrestricted artillery fire.

When the war entered its fourth day, the entire free world had turned into a world of thugs.

No one on this planet is vegetarian.

When people are unable to obtain daily necessities and begin to take desperate measures, the law of the jungle of the free world and the people's unforgettable concept of the jungle of the jungle begins to take effect. The death toll skyrocketed. On the streets, robbery, rape, murder, arson - people who have lost their minds have turned into thugs. They do this as a family, as an organization, and as a neighborhood. Groups of friends were formed, and they went on a killing spree to compete for limited living materials.

Shopping malls were looted and buildings burned to the ground.

Standing on the top of the building and looking down at the city, whether it is the Central City, Infantry Port, Xianlong Port, Bering Port or Oslo Port. In important port cities such as Thames Port and Lille Port, smoke was billowing, fire was raging, gunshots were heard, and screams were heard. The cries are endless.

No one thought that the chain reaction of war in the free world would be so terrifying.

What would have taken mainstream human society several years to experience war only took four days in this world!

This is a catastrophe.

However, for the three major schools, the situation is still within an acceptable range.

After the initial melee. Three major schools formed with the de facto control zone. The fighting between them has naturally begun to decrease in intensity.

The crane and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. No one wants to use their own strength to let other schools take advantage of them. No one is stupid! Although the three-legged war situation is elusive, there is a natural stability.

The battle still continues. The battle for key industrial areas, transportation thoroughfares and ports still refuses to give up an inch of ground. The small-scale battles that continue to break out are fierce and cruel. It can be used for decisive battles against large-scale landowners. But very cautious.

The three major schools are carefully looking for opportunities to make a final decision.

And their eyes have never left Central City. Everyone knows. That's the key to victory or defeat!

Mars Freeport Central City is dozens of times larger than other port cities. True to its name, this is the center of Mars. More than 70% of the wealth of the Mars Free Channel is concentrated here, and more than 60% of the industrial manufacturing capacity is concentrated here.

In modern warfare, the most important factor that determines victory or defeat is logistics. The central city is obviously the largest material reserve base. The northern industrial area and the eastern port and warehousing must be controlled.

Those who win the central city win the world.

This is an iron law that everyone has no doubt about!

The Tailiu Base in Thames Harbor was in a state of hustle and bustle. In the playground, two ground-link mechas were gathering. All kinds of personal mechas, tall and short, were mixed together, trying to keep the formation neat. Next to them, hundreds of Tailiu armed personnel were carrying boxes of old-fashioned ammunition for mechas.

Most of these armed personnel did not receive any formal military training. Many of them are just hooligans who pick up guns on the spur of the moment. He was holding his gun crookedly with his collar loosened, working, and cursing non-stop! Only the hundreds of matador mercenaries who were gathering urgently further away looked a bit like an army. They are the main force of Tailiu.

The underground command room, buried hundreds of meters underground and wrapped in thick layers of high-strength concrete and metal armor plates, had the same busy scene. Dozens of people were busy in front of the console of an old-fashioned small Skynet. The sound of calls and keyboard typing was heard one after another.

It's called Skynet, but it's just an obsolete central control system. The role it can play is to gather battle information, communicate and command, plus a little anti-jamming capability. As for real-time battlefield monitoring, radar, electronic camouflage and theater management, missiles, air-ground coordination and other functions, they are simply not available.

A faction, after all, is not the government of a sovereign state. The factional armed force is not a regular army.

In front of the electronic sand table in the command room, Cooper was pacing back and forth, already exhausted.

Among the three major schools, the one currently at a disadvantage is Tailiu.

On May 31, in order to compete for control of the 9th District of the Industrial Zone in the northern part of Central City, the 1st Armored Battalion of the Tairyu Matador Mercenary Regiment and the 7th Poshanliu Military Camp fought fiercely for twenty-six hours, although they finally managed to survive with reinforcements. Occupied the ninth area and eliminated nearly half of the enemies in front of them, but the 1st Armored Battalion was also crippled.

On June 2, during a sneak attack by the Juesha Flow on an important bridge in the third section of the west third section of the Fifth Ring Road in the central city controlled by the Tai Faction, an armored company stationed by the Tai Faction for defense was completely wiped out. And half of this armored company are the core disciples that Tailiu has just sent into the subordinate armed forces to build the grassroots command system!

What makes Cooper feel most powerless is that the supplies that Tailiu transported to the Devil's Eye base were actually robbed in the nearby pt-8911 galaxy!

When he thought of this, Cooper wanted to tear Stillman's skin off.

The energy, food, ship parts, weapons and ammunition carried by those two large transport ships are all supplies needed to maintain the operation of the main base of Devil's Eye for half a year! It is also one-third of Tailiu’s current material reserves!

Due to Mars genre war. The transport ships that dared to dock at Mars Port have disappeared. Now, each major faction can only rely on its own armed fleet and go to the free dock a few jump points away to seek supplies. There is only one place where you can still see the transport fleets that carry out trade.

Therefore, ports and armed fleets are the lifelines of all major factions. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Devil's Eye and avoid the loss of the waterway due to lack of supplies, thereby cutting off the source of materials. Cooper gritted his teeth before squeezing out the substance in his hand. To maintain the normal operation of the Devil's Eye base. .

Who knew that this batch of materials would be robbed! If enough materials cannot be obtained in a short period of time, according to the current material reserves and consumption levels, Tailiu will run out of ammunition and food soon!

If this is the first heavy blow Tailiu has suffered. So, what makes Cooper pacing back and forth in a panic at the moment is that Siyo, who he has always cited as his supporter, has actually cut off news!

Cooper has been in close contact with the intelligence agency of the Binart Empire since many years ago.

The Binart Empire's intelligence agencies are spread throughout human society. It is a big network. Naturally, they would not let go of the Mars Free Channel, which is adjacent to the Leray Passage. After contact between the two parties. Partial cooperation began. in trade and scarce materials. Binart gives Tailiu support, and Tailiu. Then cooperate in a research project of Binart.

That's a new mecha research project!

What is being studied is not only the new mecha, but also the operators of this new mecha!

Over the years, Tailiu has secretly provided nearly two hundred experimental subjects to the Binart Empire - all mechs who have undergone long-term mecha control training but have lost their ability to control due to various reasons!

Among them, there are ten mecha knights and six mecha commanders! The last batch sent was Monroe!

this research plan. After years of piecing together signs. Cooper has roughly understood the secret - Binart is following the old path of mental control systems!

The control system of mechas has always been the top priority in mecha development research.

As early as the ancient earth era. Auxiliary control systems that can capture the operator's perspective and brain wave signals have already appeared. However, the human brain is not a machine after all. Each person's different brainwave signals and their different mental states and thinking restrict the development of this auxiliary control system from becoming the main control system.

Moreover, armored weapons such as mechas and ancient tanks are fundamentally different. The increase in speed and changes in combat methods and environments require higher control accuracy. The technological level at that time was unable to enable the mental control system to meet such requirements.

Therefore, the classic control mode combining a universal joystick and an auxiliary keyboard, just like the steering wheel of a flying car, has been continued.

Humanity's research on mecha control systems has also been divided into two paths. One is mainly a manual control system, supplemented by computers and biological control systems that capture viewpoints and brain waves. The other path is the mental control system that countless scientists are diligently pursuing.

Two thousand years ago, with the development of science and technology and a deeper understanding of the human brain, a mental control system suitable for mecha applications was finally developed. This system uses special instruments to powerfully capture human brain signals and eliminates all interference, with an accuracy rate infinitely close to 100%. Moreover, its instantaneous response is almost without delay. The mecha is completely another body of a human being!

The emergence of this system was hailed as the greatest invention of mankind at that time. It can be used not only in mechas, but also in countless fields such as aircraft, ships, and manufacturing. However, it didn't take long before something went wrong with this system - it caused fatal damage to the human brain! The human brain is not strong enough to support mental control for a long time. Thousands of early experimenters suffered brain damage and died or became vegetative.

The problem of damage to the human brain has not been solved for two thousand years. Mecha also took a different path, eventually evolving into its current structure, and thus created the mecha genre.

Binart's secret research is a mental control system. Once the research is successful, the instantaneous reaction of the mental system will be enough to turn an ordinary level six mecha warrior into a level 12 or even level 13 mecha warrior! Hand speed will no longer be an insurmountable gap! Arming an armored division with a mental control system can sweep across the entire universe!

This kind of mental control technology is being studied by many countries and independent research laboratories. This is not some sinister plan that must not be made public. However, Cooper knew that the focus of the Binart Empire's mental control system research was not on the system itself.

Their research direction is----transforming people!

Since the control system cannot solve the damage to the human brain, then make the human brain indestructible!

In this horrifying study, the subjects' skulls were completely removed. Using modern medicine and mechatronics technology to combine computers and human brains, as well as a special metal reinforcement device and a system connection device - that can hardly be called a human being!

Once such research is exposed, it will immediately be the end of Tailiu. It's not just a betrayal of the mecha genre. It is also a betrayal of humanity!

Cooper originally thought that with such a secret cooperative relationship, the Binart Empire would support him no matter what. But who knew that since the war began, not only did the contacts in the Binart Empire not express support, but even the signals they sent one after another fell into silence.

Now. The Thames only captured Thames Harbour. Half of the Xianlong Port and a small part of the Infantry Port. In the battle in Central City, Tailiu had been completely suppressed by the two major factions, Juezha and Poshan. In addition to retaining a small territory in the northern industrial zone and two large connected areas. Other troops have been squeezed out of the central city.

If this continues, Tailiu will be the first to be eliminated!

Just as he was at a loss, suddenly, the door to the command room was suddenly pushed open. Nakagawa Dahui held an electronic document and strode towards Cooper with a sullen face.

Cooper stopped and looked steadily at Daiki Nakagawa, who had been trying to get in touch with Binart.

"Contacted! As support for us, the Binart Empire will send people to assist us!" Nakagawa Dahui's tone was a little strange.

"They want to send troops?" Cooper was startled, not knowing whether he was surprised or happy.

"There are no troops. Only one person!" Nakagawa Dahui said.

"Alone?!" Cooper couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, a person. An experimental subject!" Nakagawa Dahui handed over the communication record in his hand and said slowly: "They are just continuing their experiments!"

Fatty looked intently at the unidentified mecha troop on the screen of the mecha's telescope.

The number of vehicles increased from a hundred to nearly a thousand, as well as nearly a regiment of infantry. These flaming red mechas are always lingering on the edge of Protown. He maintained a distance of more than thirty kilometers from the armed bandit mechas.

Although between these mechas and the Tailiu branch, there is a defense zone composed of small local business groups in Puluo Town who have united and hired mercenaries. However, Fatty knew that this army was coming for him! .

Xiyo's hidden forces on this planet finally took action. And he, a fat man who was carrying the banner of the Fei Alliance and cheating, was the first to bear the brunt.

"The opponent has an armored regiment and an infantry regiment. With their current situation, they should attack the local business alliance." Markovich, who was standing next to the fat man, reported: "I have observed their actions. They are clean and agile. Team A naturally formed a fixed formation during the march and maintained a standard distance. It is obvious that they have undergone long-term and rigorous military training."

"So..." Fatty continued to observe on the long-range vision device, his eyes resting on the chest barrel of the red mecha and several bulges all over the body. He asked casually: "What's your suggestion?"

"Avoid its edge!" Markovich's answer was straightforward. As the commander of the bandit's ground armor force, the power he currently has in hand, plus the 70 mechas that have just arrived in batches from the Audrey at the port, totals only 120 mechas.

The newly incorporated Xintai-style and Phantom-style mechanics are far from meeting combat requirements. Moreover, most of their mechas were private mechas and did not have sufficient combat capabilities. The mecha melee on First Avenue seemed more like a farce to him.

War is not a game! The enemy we faced this time was obviously not that simple. Avoiding its sharp edges is the wisest choice for a commander.

The fat man was silent for a long time. Asked: "What if I have to fight?"

"Bloody battle! Defeat each one!" Markovich's answer was more clear and powerful than before. Regarding the situation where we were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered, he didn't even ask why.

From the moment the fat man issued the first order on the Blue Rose, he never doubted every word of this federal hero. That is the most devout worship and obedience. And when the fat man pointed at the pirate statue made of californium metal in the Red Beard base and laughed heartily, this kind of admiration and obedience. It has become a matter of life and death.

To outsiders, LeRae was almost finished. And these hundreds of soldiers want to bring Le Lei back to life by controlling the free world of Mars, which is tantamount to wishful thinking.

No matter how you look at it, this looks like a joke. But. In the eyes of Markovich and all the LeRae fighters, there is still a glimmer of hope. If this was a joke, then they were brought together by this Quixotic joke! They are extremely proud to be part of this joke!

Even if they fail, even if they die, they are still worthy of their ancestors in Lelei's land!

What makes them even more proud. Today's bandit army. It is a united and brave top force!

People who have never stayed in the Red Beard Pirate Base will not know what kind of tempering they have endured. What kind of mechas they drive, what kind of determination they have - wherever the fat man points his finger, let alone the more than a thousand mechas in front of them, even if there are ten thousand, they will still charge.

The fat man looked intently at the telescope screen, recalling all that had happened along the way. All kinds of thoughts came to my mind.

The Sous Empire has settled in the Sarga Longbow System. There is not much time left for them to join together with the Jeppon Empire and the Dexik Empire to simultaneously launch a general attack on the Lelei central star field jump point.

LeRae faced. It's a crash!

The situation was so bad that he couldn't think of a faster way except to move the troops in such danger.

Insulting Cooper, deposing Monroe and killing Gandy, and immediately kicking nine halls to stir up the trend of the school. Isn't it just for this day that he has devoted all his energy and painstaking planning?

This is a tough battle, a battle that I cannot retreat from and cannot afford to lose. Even if he is nailed, he must nail himself to the chaotic chess game in Puluo Town and not give up an inch of ground!

The faction mutual aid alliance is already in plain sight. Those small factions and small societies that are panicking in the chaos are all watching and waiting. At this moment, they are like streams that have been cut off, trapped and drying up under the scorching sun. Once they determine that the faction mutual aid alliance is the way out, they will gather through this opening and become an unstoppable rushing river!

What I need to do now is win this war!

If he loses, he can only withdraw from Mars Freeport in despair.

If you win, you will be eligible to proceed to the next step!

The far-sighted instrument was adjusted, zooming in little by little. The fat man's eyes carefully examined every detail of the red mecha.

Chest, head, arms and limbs. A lustful smile appeared at the corner of the fat man's mouth.

In terms of understanding of mechas, there are very few mechanics in the world who are more proficient than Tian Xingjian. Especially after studying Casper's work log, Fatty's mechanical attainments have reached an incredible level. As a mechanical repairman, he is hungry for all knowledge about electronic machinery. This is the basis for his survival!

Although there is no logical structure scanning device, such a close observation is enough for Fatty to know a lot of things.

These red mechas are obviously not military mechas from a certain country. Like those genres, they are personal mechas modified using the resources available in this world. It's just a little more advanced. Their airborne cannons are energy-fired metal hybrid cannons. This hybrid gun has limited ammunition capacity and lethality. The energy shield is also a replica, using the energy diffuser used by ordinary ships for the engine circuit compression device as the shield probe.

Compared with the genre mechas that still use old-fashioned projectile weapons, these mechas already have long-range strike capabilities with higher range, accuracy and destructive power. In a collective attack, this ability will be multiplied. At least, ordinary personal mechas are completely unable to resist.

but. Fatty didn't take this kind of mecha seriously. If judged by the standards of military mechas, these mechas are only at the level of Leray's sixth-generation mechas - and this is an evaluation with extra points for their melee capabilities.

The fat man scratched his belly happily. This is easy to handle! Who would have known that there are one hundred and twenty eighth-generation mechas with standard military equipment on this planet!

It is not an exaggeration to say that Hengdao is the brainchild of Fatty.

Initially, in order to build the ground armor strength of the bandit army. From the beginning, Fatty decided to use the best thing he could find. Therefore, he fell in love with the humanoid mecha Fallen Angel that Barbarossa purchased at first sight to assemble for the raiding group.

Fallen Angel is a classic product of Mars Freeport Dragon Eagle Mecha Company. Extremely fast and explosive. Has extremely superior coordination. The most important thing is that this kind of mecha has a lot of room for modification. In order to purchase this batch of fallen angels, Barbarossa, a fan of the Dragon Eagle mecha, spent a lot of money. Who knew that within two months of using it, I would be able to outperform the fat man in Magpie Nest Jiuzhan. .

Fatty's modification of the fallen angel is a God-given route. In other words, this fat thief transplanted the stolen classic design given by God onto the body of the fallen angel.

The composite link suspension only appeared on the tenth generation mecha. Multiplier Loop Engine Accelerator. Single straight arm universal wheel transmission rod, imitation muscle line protective filling. The three-point compression auxiliary thruster... As long as it can be imitated, Fatty will not let it go. After adaptive adjustment, it was transplanted to the fallen angel.

In modern mechanical design, the most important thing is the idea! Although it is difficult to create these things, when Fatty imitates them, it is called relaxing and happy.

certainly. Too precise. Things that cannot be made with the equipment in the bandit's den, such as radar. Scanners, bio-assisted control systems, and some designs that lacked materials, Fatty could only reluctantly give up. For this reason, he lamented for a long time. If we were in LeLei, these things would just take more time.

As for the key engine part, due to the incompatibility with the God-given engine design, in addition to borrowing from the engine accelerator, Fatty simply started a new one, using the guidance of Casper's work log and his own research and understanding of various types of mechas to rebuild the engine. An engine was designed.

This engine is also the most critical part of Hengdao! The power it provides is enough to turn an agile personal mecha like the Fallen Angel into a rampaging beast!

Therefore, although it was limited by the manufacturing environment, materials and equipment, when the Hengdao was finally finalized, after testing and evaluation, it was firmly at the pinnacle of the eighth-generation military mecha.

Eight generations of top-notch mechas versus sixth-generation mechas with limited modifications as private mechas --- Just thinking about it makes Fatty's nose bubble. When I first saw so many mechas, my thoughts of rolling around and cursing and spitting were out of my mind. So what if the number is large, the number of sperm is large!

When a nymphomaniac enters the world, the most important thing is your physique!

Moreover, in his hands, he still holds a trump card that is absolutely not available in this world right now!

In order for the hesitant schools in the free world to focus their attention here, they must win a victory that no one can look away from.

Annihilate all opponents! Such a victory is sensational enough!

Turning on the deduction system of the mecha computer, the fat man laughed so hard that his mouth watered.

"Mom, choke me!" "A coward can always find a reason for himself."

"When evil breaks through the defenses of the heart, no matter how noble a person is, he becomes a devil."

"Selfishness is one of the most despicable human natures. When selfish people find enough reasons, their faces are holier than saints."

Ludrit, a member of the Gabo tribe in the capital city of Lere, knelt devoutly in a low, drafty tent on the street. While kneeling and worshiping, he recited the Bo Bible - "Salvation".

Outside the tent, tens of thousands of marchers were surging and making a noise. In the distance, police sirens sounded from time to time.

The muttering of scripture reading continues.

"God said that human sins come from endless desires. When greed fills the world without restraint, the world will be destroyed. Human beings will kill each other in the abyss of desire, using sharp blades and blood to destroy each other. Put it on the altar yourself.”

"A new world is coming."

The parade that took place in Lelei's capital has spread to all cities in the capital star.

The opposition parties tried their best to guide the people to vent their disappointment and anger. Guide them to transform cowardice into justice.

And in Lucerne, in Mirok.

All the cities remained silent.

People in these war-torn cities watched indifferently on TV as the demonstrators demanded peace in the name of justice. They did not understand that the people in the capital who had not experienced war were so impassioned at the beginning. Why did he change his position now without any warning?

Is it just because war is about to come to them?

The anti-war wave, under the guise of justice, is growing in intensity. In human nature, the despicable indulgence has also begun to undergo radical changes.

Even when I first participated in the parade, I was still a little secretive and a little uneasy. However, when individuals are integrated into a group of hundreds of thousands, the things that were originally shameful have become truths that can be defended with life in the lies over and over again.

Under bulletin boards with lists of martyrs tumbling in the streets, they hysterically attacked demonstrators who advocated resistance to the end and supported the president. They turn their inner fears into violence and inflict violence on others.

June 4, 2063.

The situation in Leray's capital deteriorated. After delivering a nationally televised address, President Hamilton declared martial law and dispersed the demonstrators.

On the same day, the three parties led by the Joint Progress Association held a meeting and unanimously called for early parliamentary elections and presidential elections.

June 5, 2063.

The puppet government supported by Jie Pen announced that the seven states in the Bermuda Star Territory would secede from the LeRay Federation.

On the same day, the Republic of Jepen, the Republic of Desik, and the Republic of Sousse simultaneously issued an ultimatum to Leray, requiring him to immediately stop resisting, open the Leray Passage, and re-elect the government. In order to strengthen the persuasiveness of the ultimatum, the two mixed fleets of the Republic of Jepen and the Republic of Desik simultaneously launched warning attacks at the east-west jump points in the central star field of Lere.

June 6, 2063. The opposition parties cited Hamilton's crimes and launched another rally. Demand that the independent judiciary open a case to investigate President Hamilton's misappropriation of military funds. And asked Congress to impeach Hamilton for dereliction of duty, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

Although the opposition party's request was immediately rejected by the House of Representatives, the opposition party also successfully pushed Hamilton to the top.

On the same day and night, several army units gathered in the East District, West District and Yaxing City of Ludrit City were mobilized abnormally.

LeRae, precarious. .
