Chapter 508 Spark
Johnny's words are not entirely joking, because he has indeed shown great talent in HCP manipulation.
In the ‘career allocation prediction’ that all teenagers in the Federation must conduct when they are fourteen years old, the teenager named Johnny Letin was recommended by the system to have two career development routes.
One is to join the federal army and become a glorious HCP pilot, and the other is to drive a civilian stepper platform-that is, the civilian version of HCP, and become a special pilot that is needed by a large number of industries. .
Due to family problems at the time and in order to better take care of his family, Johnny finally chose to stay on his home planet and became a civilian stepper with a more stable income and safer daily work. driver.
However, his talent was not buried there. When a large-scale "armed rebellion" broke out in the Lubion system, in order to protect his family and co-workers, he boarded an HCP whose pilot died of serious injuries and many parts were damaged.
In a desperate situation, he killed a pursuing government HCP and accompanying troops. Finally, when he was surrounded by follow-up troops of the government, he was rescued by the Renaissance Alliance's troops, and therefore joined the Renaissance Alliance's HCP troops. , became a real HCP pilot.
This time the Atlas Group cooperated with the Renaissance Alliance and wanted to help the Renaissance Alliance train HCP pilots and heavy armored combat boat pilots. After the news spread, Johnny was quickly recommended by his superiors. Go up.
In the assembly area of the 'Pillar of the Sky II' space elevator, Johnny Letting also met Manfred for the first time, who would be training as a heavy armored combat boat pilot.
Although the two people's personalities, family backgrounds, and personal experiences are completely different, they actually became friends in this short period of time.
And Johnny Redding also figured out the true identity of his new friend.
Manfred von Richthofen, a name that sounds full of old-school aristocratic style, but in fact when Manfred was a child, his full name was actually Manfred Red Albrecht von Richthofen.
Obviously, compared to a Federation citizen, such a name seems to be more appropriate for a Star Dragon Empire noble.
In fact, Manfred and his family were also the 'down-and-out nobles' who escaped from the Star Dragon Empire.
Manfred actually doesn’t know what happened specifically, because his deceased parents never told him. He only learned from their few words that his family was involved in the political struggle of the Star Dragon Empire. Sacrifice.
If it weren't for the help of some old friends, they might not have had the chance to escape to the Federation and accept the 'political asylum' of the Rubian System Autonomous Government.
It’s just that after so many years, a nobleman with no actual value quickly lost the attention of the galaxy’s autonomous government, and Manfred’s family fortune also plummeted.
In order to survive, Manfred joined the reorganized garrison fleet and became a reconnaissance boat pilot - this is also thanks to the fact that the newly built garrison fleet does not have too many identities and backgrounds. This aspect is set up, and it is also hoped that Manfred, a somewhat 'special' soldier, can become a 'propaganda subject' in the future.
Otherwise, with Manfred’s background, he would never want to join the federal army in his life.
The chat between the two teenagers did not last long, and soon they and other Everyone was asked to return to the cabin and secure themselves, because the cargo ship was about to enter a collective jump with the fleet.
"Johnny, don't be eliminated. I'm waiting for the day when you fly the HCP to escort me~" Manfred looked at his new friend and said seriously before entering the cabin.
"You'd better worry about yourself, little noble, don't let me become an ACE by then, and I won't have your battle boat to serve as a pedal for me."
Johnny Redding He waved his hands nonchalantly, and finally looked at each other with Manfred, and the two teenagers couldn't help laughing anymore.

Time was like a fleeting moment. Nearly five months passed without anyone noticing.
When the situation in this universe entered a new chapter, time seemed to flow faster.
Not only psychics like Amber, but also many ordinary people feel that time passes faster and faster. Sometimes it seems like just a blink of an eye, and then a day passes.
Of course, This is not because some powerful 'power' really speeds up the flow of time in this universe. It is mainly because there are too many things happening during this period, and explosive news comes one after another every day. Under the impact of a large amount of new information, many people's usual boring life has been broken, and they will naturally feel that time is passing faster and faster.
From Amber's perspective, in addition to the fast pace of both the Atlas Group and the outside world during this period, the 'tension' of the entire universe has also begun to increase. Lifting to a new level.
Although this 'strategic decisive battle' between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire ended with a seemingly lose-lose outcome, in fact the two major human forces did not come to a standstill.
On the federal side, because of the prestige and credibility of the federal government, it has been greatly affected by many previous incidents. In addition, the military-industrial complex that has colluded with the government has been destroyed by the Atlas Group. Heavy damage, so all galaxies, especially those controlled by the opposition party, are beginning to make moves.
When the 'armed rebellion' in the Rubian galaxy was not quickly suppressed, but instead showed an intensifying trend. In addition to the opposition parties who wanted to cause trouble, some other forces also started their actions.
These forces neither recognize the federal government nor the self-government of the galaxy. They have only one goal, and that is to 'establish themselves as kings'.
“I believe in the future promised by bullshit parties, why not do it myself!”
Soon, "sparks" burned in many galaxies within the Federation. Some were armed rebellions launched by civil forces like the Rubin galaxy, and others were galactic autonomous governments that declared "independence."
As for the former, although the people in these galaxies have entered a state of war, most people still have some goals to fight for, and the warring parties will still deliberately avoid civilians during the battle to avoid causing accidental injury.
But if the galaxy you are in is the latter, then congratulations on getting an unlimited 'Slave Experience Card'.
As we all know, many federal system autonomous governments and chief executives are not very human beings, and when they declared complete 'independence' from the jurisdiction of the federal government, these non-human behaviors immediately became more Stop being a human being.
Such a situation in the federal territory also caused Marshal Trafalgar, who had just returned to the capital to report on his duties and rest, to blacken his eyes and faint.
Although the federal government blocked the news immediately, there were still some unfounded rumors in the market, which also caused these 'sparks' within the federal territory to seem to be getting stronger and stronger.
When the federal government because of While the 'armed rebellion' that broke out in multiple star systems at the same time within the territory was a headache, the various forces in the Star Dragon Empire were actually not much better.
The news that Her Highness Agnes is about to be crowned has spread completely. Coupled with the news that Duke William was killed in battle and the Chaos Fortress was destroyed, the Regent Party fell into a disadvantage almost overnight.
And just as Amber expected, the old nobles who had previously joined the Regent Party suddenly stepped forward to act as 'peacemakers', hoping to ease the conflicting relationship between the two parties.
After all, this group of people is also the group of people who are the best at 'acting with the wind'. They know that if they don't stand up and express their position in advance at this time, they will wait for them after Princess Agnes is officially crowned. It will be a big purge.
It was at this time that many forces suddenly appeared in the galaxies controlled by the 'Princess Party' and the 'King Party'. Under the slogan of 'overthrowing the monarchy and overthrowing the Leon family', a large number of planetary governors and planetary governors were hanged. The noble family launched the so-called 'Glorious Revolution'.
At the same time, some nobles within the 'Regent Party' also began to carry out armed intervention in these systems in the name of helping to deal with the 'riots'.
The Regent Norton II himself began to liquidate a group of veteran nobles within the 'Regent Party' who had long been against him, without any warning.
