A Boeing passenger plane took off from Cuba, arrived in Mexico City, and then transferred to Salt Lake City. On the plane, an old man with white hair looked out of the window, showing great interest in the land under the clouds.
The flight attendants on the plane came to ask for help from time to time. When passing by the old man, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at the medals hanging on his chest - commendation medals are not uncommon, there are many people with outstanding achievements in the army. But this old man's various battle medals
But there are so many that are scary.
From the Cuban battlefield to the Mexican battlefield, from the landing in Yucatan to the counterattack against Monterrey, from the bloody battle at Zelaya to the pursuit of San Miguel, this old man almost participated in a series of battles that led to the rise of the Aurora Legion, and there was no shortage of them.
Next to the old man was a slightly fat, middle-aged Han man. He glanced at the old man's medal and found that the other party had fought more battles than he had, and many of them were hard-core battles to the death. This was him crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Heroes, such people are rare.
"Are you..." The middle-aged Han man was also bored during the journey, so he asked the old man in half-baked Spanish after getting on the plane.
The old man wore a military uniform, but did not wear a military rank, making it impossible to tell his identity. However, after being asked, he cheerfully said: "I am Father Julio, and I was invited to attend the wedding of Commander Hugo.
"
Ouch..., this sentence caused quite a commotion in the cabin. When I heard that the regiment's most legendary tank commander was walking with me, many people came here to ask for a photo.
The middle-aged Han man even extended his hand excitedly to introduce himself, "I am Pang Youcai, and I am also going to attend the wedding of the regiment commander."
Father Julio also grinned, "You just don't want to kill people, Pang Youcai? I heard that you were punished for talking nonsense in the official report to the army commander. Hahaha..., I think you deserve it.
"
Pang Youcai scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. The entire army was now aware of his embarrassing incident - he disobeyed military orders and opened fire without permission, and dared to make excuses. He was almost sent to a military court. Fortunately, the outcome of the incident was favorable to the legion, and the legion commander personally approved it.
Not doing anything like this next time, she even invited him to her wedding.
After laughing, Pang Youcai looked enviously at the row of medals on Father Julio's chest and said, "Dad, you are so awesome. You have participated in almost all the wars of the Legion. This honor is unmatched by anyone."
Father Julio was also very proud of his experience. He even said happily: "I was still a member of the anti-legion, and then I was captured and mixed with the commander of the legion. In terms of the special experience, there are not many in the whole legion."
No one can compare to me."
"Then why don't you continue working in the army?" Pang Youcai asked.
Father Julio shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am old. I don't know how to use the new equipment. I am promoted to a senior officer and I don't know how to command. I can't occupy the position and harm the young men in the army. I have to let capable people take over."
Pang Youcai sighed repeatedly as he listened, and finally said: "Dad, you are our legend, and I want to pay tribute to you."
Father Julio said humorously: "Forget it, you killed more people than me. I only knocked out dozens of tanks, but you killed countless people. You are the legend."
Pang Youcai scratched his head again and laughed loudly...
The passenger plane landed at the Salt Lake City International Airport. After getting off the plane, a special person came to pick up Pang Youcai and Julio. The security check at the airport was very strict, and both the Aurora Legion and the Enclave strictly searched anyone entering Salt Lake City.
After coming out of the airport, the urban area of Salt Lake City has been renovated. Various buildings that were originally destroyed by catastrophes and wars have been either cleaned up or re-decorated. There are all kinds of flowers on the road, and everyone is beaming and dressed up.
The person responsible for picking up the airport explained while driving: "The entire Salt Lake City is now under military control, and there are military and police personnel everywhere. A month ago, several of our engineering battalions were sent to conduct a city-wide search and thoroughly clean up the city.
Any safety hazard."
Father Julio looked at the road outside through the car window and saw that at the intersection there were not only people from the Legion, but also many people from the Enclave. He asked, "Did the Enclave send people here too?"
The pick-up staff replied: "It's a marriage. The Enclave naturally has the right to send people here. After all, the Legion and the Enclave don't fully trust each other, and the wedding will be held in a few days. High-ranking officials and dignitaries from all over North America will be present, and security will be provided."
The requirements are extremely high. We even deployed anti-aircraft missiles and air force."
Pang Youcai was also curiously looking at the military and police arrangements in Salt Lake City. He not only saw ordinary infantry, but even a large number of heavy tanks. The Enclave's M1A3 and the Aurora Legion's VT-4 and VT-5 were all available, and even the Legion's latest acquisitions
The PLZ-52 self-propelled artillery is available.
This is all just to show off your power and show off your military power!
However, it is always a bit strange to have so many armed forces deployed in the city for such a festive event as a wedding. Pang Youcai and Julio's father wanted to say something, but they felt it was too unlucky, so it was better not to say anything.
"Ah..., that's the legion commander's mutant guard." Pang Youcai pointed at a few tough guys on the road outside the car and shouted.
In order to familiarize Pang Youcai and Julio with the venue on their wedding day, the airport pick-up staff specially took them around the Sanctuary Cathedral.
The five kilometers surrounding the cathedral are now under complete martial law, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to approach. Among these martial law personnel, the mutants who are the legion's personal guards are actually on the outermost perimeter.
The pick-up staff explained: "This was requested by the Enclave. It is said that David Lawrence felt that mutants were too ugly and vicious, like living evil spirits, and were not suitable to appear at weddings, so he asked the mutants to take responsibility.
Perimeter security.”
Although the Mutant Guards look a bit fierce, everyone in Mexico knows that as long as they are not hungry, they are actually quite easy to get along with. Moreover, in the past battles, the original number of more than two hundred Mutant Guards has shrunk to a hundred.
Many, they prove their loyalty with their own sacrifices.
As a soldier, Pang Youcai and Julio's father felt aggrieved that loyal mutants were excluded from the wedding. But if these mutants who looked like half-orcs, or even uglier than half-orcs, and the groom were
The bride stood together, which really seemed to be a terrible sight.
Alas..., Pang Youcai sighed and asked: "Then who will be responsible for the safety of the regiment commander?"
The airport pick-up staff shrugged, "We have agreed with the Enclave that the security personnel on both sides will only be responsible for matters outside the Temple Cathedral, and the Mormon Church will be responsible for the inside of the Cathedral. The Mormon Church has also announced that no one will be allowed to bring weapons into the church.
The security check is controlled by three parties and is very strict."
"That means the legion commander doesn't have any of his own people around him on the wedding day?" Father Julio asked.
"It should be there." The airport pick-up staff was not sure, "I don't know about this matter. I don't know the specific security arrangements."
Pang Youcai and Julio's father were both a little confused, but this matter was not something they had to consider. This doubt was quickly diluted by the festive atmosphere of the wedding. Everyone felt that they could think of such a crucial matter, and the top brass of the legion were even more concerned.
It will be considered thoroughly.
Let’s scatter flowers, cheer, and celebrate, this wedding that will determine human history is about to take place!
