It was another quiet morning, the sun shining brightly on the earth, and the cadets of the Barston Military Academy, who had been on the road all night, were either clinging to the roots of the trees in camouflage cloths and blankets, or burrowing into sleeping bags and hiding in the bushes, except for a few people on duty, the rest were already asleep.

In the distance, two cruisers were flying low over the forest sea, and another transport ship was taking off from the position of the refueling station. Apparently, the makeshift supply point was still operational.

Tired as he was, Weiss sat high in the treetops, quietly watching the flying ship in the distance.

These arrogant and conceited "sons of heaven" who are unwilling to face up to their shortcomings will sooner or later suffer at the hands of the Norman Empire!

But what is the state of the Norman Empire, which is deeply hated by the entire Ulster Free Federation? Make every effort to govern the country and reorganize the army for war, or will you be reckless and complaining?

Weiss suddenly realized that no one could clearly and objectively describe the reality of the country, whether at the Barston Military Academy or in his contacts with the outside world, about the brutality and violence of the Norman Empire in the last war, about the arrogance and bloodthirstiness of its ruling class, and how it was about extorting and oppressing the people, but no one could clearly and objectively describe the reality of the country—what was the effect of the long-rumored political changes, what was the level of social and economic development, and where was the military strength strong and weak?

Most people's understanding of the Norman Empire seems to remain at the level of generalities. There is a cloud in the art of war, and knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles. For the first time, the Norman Empire has sent a military observation team to watch the spring meeting of the Ulster Free Federation Army.

Throughout the morning, Weiss thought a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Looking back at the two world wars in human history, the situation in France is the best lesson. If what happened to the Gallic chickens was repeated in the Ulster Free Federation, what would happen to them with their current capabilities?

At noon, Weiss was replaced by Nikolai, ready to rest for a few hours, but Nikolai's words woke him up from his lethargic state in an instant......

"Where did those flying battleships go?"

Oh, yes! Where did those flying battleships go?

Looking at the sky with only white clouds and flying birds, Weiss couldn't help but ask such questions.

The cruisers flew away, and the transports were gone. This situation seemed to have been going on for a while, but he was in a heavy mood and his mind was numb, and he didn't even notice the change.

"It seems that there is a big move on their side on the front line, or rather...... The operation on our side began. Weiss speculated.

Nikolai said: "Has the decisive battle begun?" If that's the case, will we just need to hold out for a few more days and make it to the end of the exercise? ”

Weiss pondered for a moment: "As you said, the outcome of this conference exercise cannot exceed the needs of politics, but things are not as simple as we imagined. ”

"For example?"

"For example...... The Norman Threat Theory. Weiss lowered his voice slightly, "We all feel—even determined...... The Norman Empire had the ambition to wage another war of aggression and was militarily prepared. My encounter in the Monamolin Mountains seems to provide incontrovertible evidence for this speculation. However, I just suddenly wondered, what we see, or even what we experience, must be the truth of the matter? ”

Seeing Weiss so abnormal, Nikolai did not answer immediately, but pondered for a long time:

"We live in this era, we live in this country, it seems that everything is running under the light of the sun, but this is only a superficial phenomenon. Not bad! The Norman Empire was once the greatest threat to the Ulster Free Commonwealth, and it was just a little bit of a defeat that brought us down, but that was the story of the last generation. The current Norman Empire is not as evil, filthy, and dark as people think, nor is it a hell where power is rampant and the people are not able to make a living. Objectively speaking, since the crown prince Parigini assumed the regent, the economic and social outlook of the Norman Empire has been greatly improved, the living conditions of the people at the bottom have been greatly improved, and the growth rate of military strength has been relatively slow. To a certain extent, the reason why our public opinion advocates the threat of the Norman Empire is nothing more than a means for certain political speculators and arms suppliers to seek profits. As for the 'Dr. K incident' that you happened to be involved in, it seems to me that there are indeed many unconventional suspicions, and there may be other hidden reasons behind this, and the investigation should be carried out in depth, rather than drawing conclusions based on the existing evidence. ”

Nikolai's words made Weiss gasp: "If what you and I just speculated is true, then it is likely that the enemy within the Free Federation is the one who threatens the lives of you and your family, and the culprit that caused the incident of Dr. K may also be the same group of people!" ”

"I now understand what my father used to say......" Nikolai was about to say the last words, but was interrupted by a sudden gunshot.

This gunshot sounded completely different from the Grumman M3.2 series used by the Ulster Free Federation Army, and the excessively crisp snapping sound made Weiss beside him instantly dilate, and a special noun was squeezed out between his teeth: "Falcon!" ”

Then, seeing that Nikolai was still looking at the tree, Weiss pulled him, motioned him to hurry down, and he also slipped down from the tree, and shouted at the surrounding students in a suppressed voice: "Reload with live ammunition!" Reload with live ammunition! The enemy is coming! ”

Before resting on the spot, Weiss organized the 50 trainees into 6 detachments as usual, deployed alert defense according to the configuration of 4 + 2 outside, and planted several secret posts on the periphery. Judging by the sound of gunshots, the shooter was not far away, and the most important thing was ...... With the exception of the Special Forces, none of the Free Federalist Forces were armed with top-of-the-line Norman-made sniper rifles.

After landing to observe the situation, Weiss continued to roar: "The commanders of each detachment immediately count the number of people!" Report casualties! ”

After a short time, the six detachment commanders reported the number of people one after another, and no casualties were found in any detachment, except for the cadets who were sent out to serve as secret posts.

Could it be that there is a problem with the dark whistle?

The gunfire must have come from the south, and Weiss quickly made his way to the makeshift defensive position to the south, lying on his stomach beside the raised roots, squinting his eyes into the depths of the woods. Sure enough, the green virtual frame in front of him showed almost zero biological functions, and this scene instantly reminded him of the situation after he was lucky enough to kill Xue Zhen on the first day in this world, and remembered the look in the eyes of the beast that almost ate it before it was dying......

Weiss carried a rifle in his right hand, grasped the roots of the tree tightly in his left hand, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is on duty at the sentry post?" ”

The detachment commander replied: "It's Hart Resos!" He offered to go! ”

Weiss's "tiger body" was shocked, although he had little contact with this student of the same level before, but just a few days ago, he caused trouble with a stove in the woods, and was beaten by Kunison, and the appearance of self-blame and shame was deeply engraved in Weiss's mind. It's nothing for a young man to make a mistake, and courage is the right way to do it, and Hart Resos obviously did just that, but he didn't expect that the will of heaven would make people, and he was about to fall in this vast forest before he could prove himself to people......

"Hart! Hart! The detachment commander lowered his voice and called several times, but there was no echo in the woods.

The cadet, who was also from the second year of the Gaston Military Academy, turned his head to look at Weiss, and said eagerly: "His position is only two or three hundred feet away from us, as long as you stand up, you can see people, there is no reason why you can't hear it!" Hartta...... Something must have happened! ”

Weiss didn't answer directly, but asked in a low voice, "Have you all loaded with live ammunition?" ”

Several students around replied, "It's loaded."

Weiss squinted and said, "Everyone must be careful!" This time we may well have met the real enemy! ”

He narrowed his eyes to find the enemy hiding in the woods, but probably because it was too far away and too dense in the woods, he would find nothing for a while. After thinking about it, my heart was horizontal, so I found a big tree nearby and climbed it. Now, as soon as he squinted, he saw a number of red frames, some of which were still and some of which were slowly moving in this direction.

Weiss was counting the empty frames, suddenly feeling danger coming, subconsciously opened his eyes, saw the branches and leaves in the distant woods shaking, and hurriedly shrank his head and squatted.

In the blink of an eye, only a light and sharp sound was heard as a high-speed spinning bullet flew past his scalp, and the swirling air currents ruffled a strand of black hair on his forehead, leaving a faint smell of burnt fire in the air......

Now that the other party had discovered himself, Weiss dared to continue to linger in the trees, returned to the ground three times and two times, and said breathlessly: "The enemy has touched from the south!" Get ready for battle! Once you spot the enemy's tracks, if you are sure that you will hit the target, you will be allowed to open fire! ”

"Are those really enemies? How can there be enemies? ”

A third-year student's question reflects the thoughts of most students at the moment. If the relationship between friend and foe is mistaken, even if the person who ordered the shooter to bear the main responsibility, he will inevitably be interrogated and even tried, and he will die here before he has taken the first step in the future of the military circles.

Weiss gritted his teeth and said in a sad and angry tone, "Hart-Ressos...... Already sniped by the enemy! We are facing a real enemy, an enemy who wants to put us to death! I also want to know why they are here, why they are dealing with us, and the only thing we can know for sure at the moment is to defeat the enemy to survive! Stay alive! ”

"That's right! Stay alive! Nikolai came here at some point, leaning sideways against the trunk of the tree, and praised Weiss with a determined expression.

As soon as he heard Nikolai's voice coming from nearby, Weiss secretly said that it was not good, he didn't look at it, and directly dragged Nikolai's arm to the side and threw himself to the side. Sure enough, just as he made a move, another bullet flew past his ear, and the black hair on his sideburns instantly raised, followed by a burning smell......
