"Hey, this kind of firepower configuration has a great burden on logistics!" Liu Yan looked at Cody in surprise, he had fought on the front line and stayed in the staff department, and he was no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, "One set of armor has four different weapon configurations, and the people in the logistics department are not crazy?" ”

"We also prepared a 20mm cannon, but we eventually gave it up because it was too heavy and the recoil was too great. Of course, this is only how our clone troops will be deployed, after all, we have few people, so we can only rely on more powerful and fierce firepower to destroy the enemy in a short time, and give full play to our better individual combat ability, instead of grinding hard with the enemy. Strengthen individual firepower, so that one person can exert more than one squad firepower, and we have long been accustomed to this way of fighting. But the humans of this world are not good yet, they can only be regarded as light infantry, and the use of power equipment is an innovation, and they need more time to adapt. ”

"When enough actual combat data is collected, these weapon configurations will be further adjusted and changed to accommodate the large-scale equipment of the troops. Personally, I think that if you want to carry out large-scale deployment, then it is best to use multiple people as a combat group, with different armor equipped with different weapons. Just like you said," Liu Yan said, while carefully observing the various parts of the armor after activation, studying their operation, "Now ordinary troops have not yet adapted to how to use power equipment correctly, they are more likely to use the soldiers who use the power exoskeleton as the strengthened elite infantry, or the soldiers who use the power armor as assault special forces - in fact, there is nothing wrong with this, it was originally used this way from the beginning - but the new K-type armor we have developed now, However, it is to be provided to all troops on a large scale and used as ordinary infantry equipment, which is fundamentally different from their previous usage. ”

"At present, because the time to get this new set of armor is too short, we have only carried out the squad confrontation drill between the armor, and we have not had time to conduct the infantry and armor confrontation, as well as the confrontation between the armored and heavy troops, the original plan was that the local garrison can provide some assistance to help us conduct the test, but at present, I am afraid that the test plan will be difficult to carry out, even if we are only here under the guise of testing."

"You are all veterans with rich combat experience, and for the time being, we will conduct internal confrontation drills in this camp to collect data, after all, we still have to act like humans and animals are harmless, and then, I have to talk to that Major General Carlson."

"Do you think he's going to keep us at the base?"

"No way, he can only find some excuses to keep us from going now, but he can't keep us from moving forever, we are a special combat unit directly under the GDI command, and his rights are not enough for him to do this. Do you know why he hasn't jumped out to rebel in the open? Liu Yan looked at Cody, "The reason is very simple, don't look at the fact that he has now controlled most of the personnel in the base, and his possible accomplices are also doing this kind of infiltration work in other bases, but the human resources that the Brotherhood can provide for them are only a few after all, if they can't buy the original troops of each base, then we don't need to take action, and the GDI troops in the Middle East can successfully suppress them." Obviously, they have not been able to buy most of GDI's troops in the Middle East. ”

"Well, as long as he doesn't have the ability to raise the flag of rebellion, then he can't really cause us trouble." Cody nodded, "But we have to be careful, that guy might be plotting against us behind his back." We are not afraid of framing us or anything, because we have drones, satellites and even orbital fleets watching us at any time, and we are afraid that he will use other means, such as deliberately leading us into a trap. ”

"We already know his problem, but he doesn't fully know that we have an advantage in terms of information, and it's not so easy for him to hack us. But it's not too careful. Speaking of this, Liu Yan casually pointed to a K-shaped armor and said to Cody, "By the way, prepare one for me, I want to actually operate it and experience the performance of the new equipment." ”

Major General Carlson, the commander of the base, returned to the base at midnight, and as early as his return, Liu Yan discovered his whereabouts through a covert unmanned reconnaissance plane - although Carlson had no intention of hiding his whereabouts - so Liu Yan waited at the headquarters early.

He hadn't been in contact with Lin Hai yet, as he planned to report back after meeting with Carlson.

He had already collected some of the information of Major General Carlson through various means, so when the other party walked into the base headquarters, Liu Yan recognized the other party - even if the major general was still dressed as a big-headed soldier and did not have any decoration on his body to represent the identity of the general, Liu Yan also recognized him.

So Liu Yan hurried to meet Carlson, but what he didn't expect was that Carlson also greeted him with a smile on his face, and then took the initiative to reach out to shake hands with Liu Yan, and said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't greet you in time" Such sincere words look like the amiable and generous uncle of the neighbor - if such a person exists - does not conform to the image of Liu Yan's calculation at all, he has always thought that Carlson is a dark middle-aged man who does not smile, Even if he saw the photo, he thought so.

"I'm really sorry," without waiting for Liu Yan to say anything, Carlson raised his hand and made a gesture of please, leading him towards the commander's office, "I've been too busy with work lately, even I have to take people out often, so please forgive me for being slack." ”

"Where, Where, Your Excellency." Liu Yan also responded to the other party with a smile on his face at this time, "Your Excellency is busy with official business, you shouldn't have bothered at this time, you should come to see you tomorrow, but Your Excellency also knows that the pressure on our side is also very high, the time is tight, and the task is heavy, so I have to disturb your rest at such a late hour, when you have just come back." ”

"It doesn't matter what we rest, we're used to staying up late." Carlson didn't show any displeasure at all, and his attitude was still very cordial and invited Liu Yan to invite his office, "Speaking of your mission, I think I need to explain why I didn't let you go out to assist in this operation." ”

"Colonel Cam has already explained the general situation beforehand." Liu Yan took the opportunity to speak, and gave Colonel Cam, who had been staying nearby, a glance, and after the other party nodded slightly, he followed behind Carlson and entered the other party's office, "Your Excellency's concerns are not unreasonable, after all, we are indeed newcomers, and we don't know the actual situation in the local area, so it will be bad to attack rashly." ”

"If only you could understand." Carlson didn't close the door of his office, he left the door open and talked to Liu Yan, "I know that you have fought in the Middle East before, and you have a certain understanding of the local environment, but now the environment here is different from when you came here before, if you are not careful, it is easy to cause us big trouble." ”

"That's why my people and I are here, to restore peace to the region." I don't know what medicine Carlson has buried in his stomach, Liu Yan still continued with the other party's words, "Testing new equipment is just incidental work, otherwise we can test it elsewhere." ”

"I'm glad you're here." Carlson nodded and said with a smile, but Liu Yan couldn't see any joy in the other party's eyes, "Don't look at this base, there are nearly 10,000 troops, but to maintain order in the surrounding tens of hundreds of square kilometers, this is simply not enough." It would be difficult to keep the oil fields working, let alone to protect the surrounding towns, most of which were supported by the attackers. ”

[Sounds like an explanation for his air raids on towns?] Liu Yan pondered in his heart, and nodded mechanically on the surface, indicating that he agreed with the major general's statement.

"It is difficult for us to find the militants from among so many civilians, and in the face of their guerrilla warfare, the GDI, which lacks more intelligence support, is as difficult to deal with as the M Army at the beginning, and restoring order in the region is a long-term task that takes time and effort, and is not a small problem that can be quickly solved by sending one or several elite troops to the top brass to come."

"I think that's still clear from above, General." Liu Yan immediately defended Carlson's words, completely defending some orders from higher levels, "You see, once we succeed in this test, GDI will obtain more advanced individual equipment and be able to deal with those armed personnel with fewer troops, then we will at least be able to protect the security and order of the main areas." ”

"Do you really think that a war of this magnitude can be won with only one or two so-called advanced equipment? Young people, don't be too confident. Magnus had an expression that you had seen too little, and took out a paper document from his desk and threw it to Liu Yan, "Let's not talk about the performance of the new equipment you are going to conduct combat tests locally this time, and whether it can meet our needs, our opponents alone will not be able to give us a chance to surpass them." ”

Liu Yan looked at the document, which was a report on the attack of some garrisons in various places, which was full of all kinds of negative emotions, basically focusing on such incidents after the local defenders were raided but were unable to fight back: most of the attackers used fast and highly mobile vehicles to attack the local government troops or GDI troops stationed in various places. Helicopter gunships are equipped to deal with surprise attacks.

"See, we're still struggling to cope with the old tactics of the terrorists." Liu Yan glanced at ten lines, and quickly swept the document roughly, and Carlson continued to say to him, "Of course, if GDI can focus its work here, those guys are not a problem, but whether it is the Security Council or the GDI headquarters, everyone's attention is focused on those main battlefields, and we naturally have to stand behind." I asked for more reinforcements from above, at least one more brigade of troops, and then you came, there was only one battalion, and it was only a temporary deployment, and now they want me to restore security and order in the area, what do you think I can do? ”

"I don't think you have to use all force against those people, do you? It shouldn't be that everyone is willing to fight with GDI, and we can win over some neutrals and fight extremists, which is also a method used by country M before, right? And we can also provide more aid to those civilians, not in arms, but in terms of more jobs and employment opportunities for them, so that the local people have money to earn. The whole Middle East has been fighting for decades, and the locals should know that war is not good for them, except for those extremists, most people should still be willing to work and support their families with peace of mind, as long as we provide them with this opportunity, then we can fundamentally reduce the number of people involved in extremist groups, and ......"

Seeing that Liu Yan was getting more and more energetic, Carlson hurriedly interrupted him: "Please stop for a moment, major, I know that you are from country Z, and people from country Z are naturally good at business, but I have to remind you that we don't have so much time to do these things, and you don't have that time." I have been stationed here for five years and have not been able to change the situation on the ground, and I believe that if it were you, there would not necessarily be any better changes, but only more of our time and money. ”

"I personally don't think so, General. The people of Z have more ways than you know, and we have thousands of years of experience. Liu Yan shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking about his thoughts, anyway, he thought that his goal had been achieved, and Carlsen should not think that he was a stunned person like himself who couldn't keep his mouth shut and behaved as a person who came to deal with him.

"Okay, you may have something unique to your idea, but for now, we can only rely on force to prioritize the Security Council's demand, which is to resume regional oil extraction." With a long sigh of relief, Carlson took out a pair of glasses from the table and put them on, then took out a few more photos and pinned them to a map behind him with a thumbtack, "Since you are new here, you don't know enough about the specific situation here, so I will arrange some simple tasks for you to familiarize yourself with the environment." ”

Carlson said as he made a circle on the map with a red pencil, "Major, this is Calle, one of the two major cities in the region, with a population of about 100,000 people according to the latest statistics, and the location is very critical, it is one of the main passages for the transportation of products from the nearby oil fields to the outside world, I need you to take people here, and there are checkpoints on the roads in the main city of Calle to prevent extremist groups from infiltrating the city of Calle." ”
