51: Pilot Yu Xu, won all three battles, and was crowned the strongest! ! !
Fang Le disagreed with Yu Xu continuing the third aerial combat duel.
Yu Xu, however, stated, "Commander, only I can participate in the third aerial combat... you know that."
Fang Le fell silent.
The reason Yu Xu was chosen as the starting pilot was primarily because she was also their side's most outstanding, and indeed, only outstanding pilot.
The technical and tactical skills, as well as the psychological quality, of the backup personnel were far inferior to Yu Xu.
If the participant in the third round performed too poorly, it would undoubtedly diminish the prestige gained from the previous two aerial combat victories.
Yu Xu: "Commander, please let me continue to fight. I can endure the last round, please believe me!"
If Yu Xu were an ordinary human pilot, Fang Le would definitely not agree.
But she was, after all, a high-level synthetic human from the system, and her recovery speed in all aspects would certainly not be slow. So, Fang Le said, "Alright."
"Ground crew, quickly receive the aircraft, and at the same time, apply to the competition host for our third combatant, Yu Xu, to rest for one or two hours."
Soon, the third aerial combat resumed.
The third aerial combat was more intense than imagined.
During the entire half-hour aerial combat duel, Yu Xu and the opposing pilot demonstrated what high-difficulty maneuvering actions were, time and again.
Barrel rolls, Split S, Immelmann, Cobra, falling leaf...
The performances of both sides were truly spectacular, dazzling the audience, while the commentators spoke with fervor.
The tide of victory began to turn in the latter half of the battle.
Perhaps it was due to physical exhaustion and excessive mental stress caused by multiple high-difficulty maneuvers.
Captain Doolittle, the U.S. Military pilot participating in the third round, made several timing errors and, after prematurely expending his ammunition, fell into a passive state and was hit by Yu Xu's aircraft cannon.
Yu Xu's performance remained as stable as before, and her eventual victory was natural.
Inside the U.S. Military base.
At the last moment, Captain Doolittle ejected from the aircraft and was rescued, but at this moment, he could not lift his head in front of his comrades.
He had volunteered to participate in the third match, vowing to achieve victory, but not only did he not win, he instead gave the American military an opportunity to showcase her strength.
However, his comrades did not criticize him.
They just patted him on the shoulder, indicating: "Doolittle, you performed very well."
The hidden meaning was that it wasn't that he wasn't good enough, but that his opponent was too extraordinary.
And at this moment, a U.S. Military pilot, looking at the tablet in his hand, cried out.
"Ah, Yu Xu has come out of the fighter jet—"
Everyone couldn't help but gather around.
They saw on the live broadcast that the Darwin City fighter jet had landed on the runway, and the pilot Yu Xu was emerging from the fighter jet.
Immediately, Doolittle discovered an astonishing fact.
And it was as if a steel bar had been inserted into his spinal cord, making his whole body stiff.
This, how is this possible?!
She wasn't wearing a G-suit?!
In high-intensity aerial combat, fighter pilots must wear G-suits; otherwise, they simply cannot withstand excessively high G-forces and thus cannot perform those extraordinary maneuvers, because they can easily pass out midway.
But Yu Xu didn't even wear a G-suit?!
How could she withstand the loads of no less than ten Gs brought by those super maneuvers?
At this moment, Doolittle felt relieved and at peace.
Doolittle realized that his loss was truly just because he wasn't as good as the American military.
—
Darwin City, with everyone out on the streets.
Countless Darwin City citizens gathered at the airport to welcome the female hero who had defeated the U.S. Military with three consecutive victories in aerial combat.
Fang Le, as the leader of the Anti-War Army, also led a group of high-ranking officials under him to collectively welcome Yu Xu's return.
"Yu Xu, Yu Xu—"
When Yu Xu appeared, her name was shouted from countless mouths, and the entire airport became a sea of cheers.
Yu Xu, however, was not affected by the cheers. She walked with standard military steps to Fang Le, saluting loudly: "Pilot Yu Xu, I have not failed my mission and have completed my task. Please give your instructions, Commander!"
At this moment, she showed no fatigue from fighting three consecutive battles. Although her cheeks were sweaty and her hair at her temples was matted, her voice was clear and full of vigor.
Fang Le stepped forward and shook her hand: "Comrade Yu Xu, you've worked hard."
Yu Xu saluted again and loudly declared: "You've worked hard, Commander!"
Although she appeared to be in good physical condition, Fang Le still ordered the medic to take Yu Xu to rest and perform a basic physical examination.
After Yu Xu left, the public's excitement slightly subsided.
Taking advantage of the lingering enthusiasm, Fang Le had a tiered platform for speeches brought over and ascended the high platform.
The crowd below sensed that he was about to speak and quieted down.
In the global live broadcast room, from commentators to audience, everyone listened.
Fang Le's intention was precisely to use this global live broadcast opportunity to promote his own faction and advertise.
"Citizens of Darwin City, I know that at this very moment, there are still many people who do not care about, do not understand, do not accept, and even have antagonistic feelings towards the cause the Anti-War Army is pursuing."
"What I want to tell everyone is, how can there be peaceful times? It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you."
This sentence came from an article by a Chinese writer, widely known among Chinese netizens.
Fang Le's linguistic talent perfectly translated it into English, immediately giving countless listeners a sense of enlightenment.
Such statements under collectivist values are very unfamiliar to people in the Western world.
For example, in the Western world, there is no such thing as 'People's Police' or 'People's Army'.
The first priority for police responding to a call is to protect themselves, and the large-scale deployment of the military for disaster relief is considered neglecting their proper duties.
Fang Le continued to quote a second classic line.
"After we are gone, they will build schools and hospitals for you, and raise your wages. This is not because their conscience has awakened, nor because they have become good people."
"It is because we were here."
This is said to be a classic quote from the famous revolutionary Che Guevara.
It has spread throughout the world.
"I cannot guarantee the outcome of the struggle that I and my Anti-War Army are currently undertaking."
"I can only say that after defeat, the American military will brutally suppress us."
"Darwin City, I'm afraid, will become a testing ground for brutal U.S. Military rule."
"To avoid this tragic future, we will use all means to resist."
"We must let the American military see our blood and courage, let the American military know that we are not rabbits to be manipulated at will, that our blood also contains the essence of lions!"
"We must make them realize that conquering us will come at a cruel price!"
As Fang Le's words fell, countless soldiers raised their hands and applauded, and those citizens who identified with the Anti-War Army also applauded.
Influenced by the atmosphere, the rest of the crowd also began to applaud.
After all, simply coming to the airport to welcome Yu Xu already indicated their leaning.
Suddenly, in the front row of the crowd, a person with a distorted face shouted something loudly, pulled out a pistol, and fired a shot towards Fang Le at the center of the high platform.
