"This Ji Xinghe, huh."
Tu Yuan received a message from Su He, reading it with a helpless look on his face.
His staff officer asked, "Should I talk to Su He and dissuade Ji Xinghe from his idea?"
Tu Yuan shook his head, saying, "No need, Ji Rongxinyue will be able to return to Azure Star in about a year or so. We can't possibly complete the cockpit upgrade for all the mechas by then. Let him pilot the current mecha and find an opportunity to fight, then return to Azure Star a year later."
The staff officer once again asked, "And what if he wants to come back after that?"
"Come back and do what?" Tu Yuan retorted. "Does having one more or one less mecha warrior really make a decisive difference in this war? Moreover, Ji Rongxinyue has no concept of life on Azure Star, Ji Xinghe should return to take care of his granddaughter for a few years. He's already sixty-six, in a few years he will be over seventy, even if I let him come, can he really make it?"
Maybe he can.
