"Rzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrz"(A.N: Okay.... don't laugh, I just don't know the sound of a vibration), Alex Dickintton felt the violent vibration again.

"Second travel is done… time, September 11, 1916… Location, Somme…"

Asuka's words made Alex somewhat angry. September 1916? Somme? Did I just cross the Battle of Somme in World War I? Damn...

In the middle of the First World War, the British and French troops attacked the German positions in the Somme area in northern France. The campaign began on June 24, 1916, and ended in mid-November.

The two sides suffered more than 1.3 million casualties and 300,000 deaths. It was the most fierce positional battle in World War I. It was also the first time in human history to put Tank into actual combat.

This damn Gargantua, why did you travel to the First World War, and still in Somme? This is so far away from the years and place where I return to my own time!

However, the time and place of Gargantua's travel; cannot be controlled by anybody…

It depends on that damn element 'Y'!.

Asuka's subsequent words confirmed the idea of ​​Alex:

"Four days later, people will use Tank for the first time in the war, and in the ensuing battle, the British and French forces will gradually break through the B, C and F strategic points of the German third line of defense. Your mission is to lead the Germans. The 3rd company of the Bavarian Infantry's 16th Regiment Camp held the B point…"

"What?" Alex thought he had misunderstood: "I will command the Germans to conduct defensive operations in one company?"

"Yes, your name is Wernst Gustav. The third company's company commander Hess was seriously injured in the third attack launched by the British and French forces on September 3, so the 16th regiment appointed a new company for them. Lieutenant Wernst Gustav, this is his photo…"

On the computer, there was a German officer with an oriental face. If he was not wearing a German military uniform, at first glance, it would not be much different from the Orientals.

Alex has some doubts: "What if the real Wernst Gustav appeared?"

"No, he will never appear. When you do not belong to this era, you will appear in this time and space. There must be someone in this era who will be replaced by you. Otherwise, it will cause confusion in time and space… Well, your documents. Already finished…"

Alex picked up the documents and suddenly he was surprised to find that he could understand the German words.

"Before the second crossing is about to be completed, through my operation, you have mastered German and is a German with a Bavarian accent. From now on you are a real German, no one will doubt you. And Oh, this is the weapon you will use…"

A Sub Machine Gun mounted on the upper part of the barrel and gun body joint appeared in front of Alex.

"This is the Bergman MP18Sub Machine Gun, which will be available two years later. It will be your weapon now, and the corresponding ammunition will be ready for you… the tailor-made military uniform will be tailored to your size. In the cupboard behind you…"

Sure enough, Wang Weizhen snorted with a weapon that was slightly ahead of the current era.

"Alex Dickintton, ah, no, Lieutenant Wernst Gustav, do you still have any questions?"

"Always call me Alex Dickintton. After I leave, what will happen to the Military Base?"

"Gargantua Military Base will automatically enable stealth devices, and the base will never interfere with this war, so now whatever choice you make is your own thing… Of course, if your ammunition is light, or Need any help, you can still come back here to get my help."

"The second question, what should I do after the Somme campaign?"

"You will stay here until November 1, 1918. By that time, you will be able to return to the base when you complete the mission. Gargantua will carry out a new journey. I hope we can have good luck that time."

Hell, have you been staying there for more than two years?

"Alex, do you have any questions?"

"None so far"

"Okay, start installing the task tracker now. Again, the base will not directly intervene in the war. The purpose of the tracker is to confirm that you have completed the required tasks and that after you successfully hold the B position, the new mission will be completed. Transfer to you."

A long mechanical arm stretched out.

After Alex's left arm felt a slight pain, he knew that the task tracker had been installed.

"Can I call support?" Alex suddenly asked.

"I have doubts about your IQ." Asuka actually had humor and joked: "I have emphasized many times that the base will not directly intervene in the war."

"But I need support!" Alex looked very stubborn: "Unfamiliar troops, strange companions, I can't guarantee that I can complete the task. Asuka, if I can't complete the task, we will have to stay in this damn time."

Asuka was silent for a while, and she obviously compromised when she spoke again: "Well when you need support, you can call the tracker. I will send a plane or tank from this military base." Make the necessary reinforcements… but you have to remember that you can't ask any more requests."

Alex smiled with satisfaction.

When you know that your destiny can't be reversed, then adapt to this process with peace of mind.

Finish the mission, then make a new journey, and one day you will return to your own time.

"Alex, I told you that in this era you are no different from any ordinary person. You will be injured, will bleed, and even die. You must protect yourself."

Alex's face suddenly showed a smirk: "Asuka, starting to care about me eh? are you falling in love with me?"

"I don't want too much communication with people who feel too good about themselves. Please don't forget that I am just a computer. I care about you, I am afraid that if you die, I will have to stay alone in this era, and not able to go back."

"I really want to see what it will look like when you become a human." Alex smiled and put on his uniform and picked up weapons and ammunition: "Okay, I am ready."

The door of the base was slowly opened, and sun was shining in so that Alex's eyes could not be adapted.

"You can leave, Lieutenant Wernst Gustav."

Alex still can't adapt to this name, but he finally knows what belongs to him. He glanced at the military base and glanced outside again, then strode out.

I am coming, Somme; I am coming, 1916; I am coming, World War I!

No matter what happens in this era it will be by my pace!
