Chapter 140: Drill (I)
"Uh......h I'm going to vomit......"
"I know it's hard, so bear with me."
"Come on, squad leader, drink this."
"Thank you...... ...... Heliga"
"Whew, get me a bottle too."
The above conversation takes place in the Garelian fortress, inside an armored vehicle.
Sure enough, the afternoon project was just as Fei and Hailiga had expected—it was related to a project that was being prepared on the other side of the martial arts arena. To this end, Instructor Knight Hart specially prepared two new armored vehicles for the students to take them to the site.
Although the terrain inside the fortress is fairly flat, the enclosed space, the stuffy air, the roaring of the engine, and the small space - still make students uncomfortable for those who have never experienced the interior of an armored vehicle. And in the same carriage as Heliga, in addition to himself, there were Faye, Emma, Marchias, and Sarah Instructor.
Instructor Fei and Sarah naturally don't need to say much, these two people don't seem to be in a big deal because of their respective experiences and some understanding and habits of the environment inside the armored vehicle. But Macchias and Emma, who had never had such an experience, were not so comfortable - the two of them, who had just sat in the closed car and only felt a little tightness in their chests, invariably entered a state of nausea and dizziness after the armored car drove up. Although Instructor Knight Hardt had already said this before, and promised that it would only take about ten minutes to arrive at the scene, it still made the two of them feel extremely uncomfortable.
In this case, Faye and Sarah have nothing to do but verbally help them relieve their uncomfortable feelings. Therefore, Helliga stepped forward at this time and became a savior, and the effect was that after he took out two bottles of potion and threw them to the two squad leaders, their uncomfortable feeling disappeared at once.
Of course, Hailiga himself was prepared, so he looked calm.
"Is this motion sickness medicine?" Macchias asked, wiping his sweat.
"That's what works like this, but it's not." Heliga pouted subtly, which was technically a tranquilizer.
Instructor Knight Hardt didn't lie to them, though. Soon, the outline of the exercise ground where the Fourth Mecha Division is located can already be seen - looking in the exterior mirror inside the tank, you can also see rows of heavy tanks neatly lined up in front of the exercise ground, most of which are the latest "No. 18" main tank produced by the RF Agency; On the other side are some old-looking vehicles.
In the corner of the training ground near the chariot unit, an awning was set up for the students who came to observe and study. And in front of the only place that seemed relatively cool under the scorching sun of the entire fortress, there were two middle-aged officers with serious expressions, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time. Their uniforms are similar to the basic structure of Knighthardt's uniforms, with the only difference being that they do not have the same white military badge as Knighthardt on their shoulders, but a golden coat of arms that symbolizes the general.
"They are ......" One of them had tan hair and a serious expression, while the other had red hair and a strong aura between his eyebrows, and that red hair was somewhat similar to Elliot.
"Hmm...... The two generals of the 4th Mecha Division and the 5th Mecha Division. Instructor Sarah whispered. It was also at this time that the guided armored vehicle had already stopped steadily at its destination.
"You've done a great job, Lieutenant General." Knighthardt, the leader of the group, saluted.
"Good work, Knighthardt." The red-haired officer nodded in response, then turned his gaze to Instructor Sarah to the side, "You're Instructor Barrestan, aren't you?" First meeting. ”
"It's an honor, General Craig. Thank you for assisting with our training session today. Instructor Sarah said.
"After all, they are young people who may join our army in the future, and I have been cared for by Marshal Van Dyck a lot. So, that's ......" His eagle-like gaze swept over the students in turn, and just by looking at him, everyone felt the different aura of him.
"This look...... He's a fierce general. Heiliga secretly admired it and whispered to Fei beside him.
However, just when everyone was secretly sighing in their hearts for the majesty of this Lieutenant General Craig, the painting style on the scene took a 180-degree turn.
"It's great that you're here! Elliot! Completely devoid of the majesty just now, he rushed up with three steps and two steps at an astonishing speed, and hugged Elliot with a delicate expression, "Half a year has passed, how are you doing?" I've seen it in the photos, but the uniforms worn by real people are even more handsome! ”
"Daddy, it's so uncomfortable......" Elliot protested in a low voice.
"This ......," Helliga scratched her head in embarrassment, "I didn't say what I just commented." ”
"......" Knighthardt also seemed to find this scene a little unsightly—fortunately no other soldiers were present, he thought to himself, and then covered his face and couldn't bear to look at it.
"Alright, Craig, let's talk about it affectionately for a while." Another general on the side spoke up, and judging by his calm expression and tone, it seemed that he had already seen this scene - also, a few of the generals of these Imperial Army did not know this strange little habit of Lieutenant General Craig, "I forgot to greet you...... I am the division commander of the 5th Mecha Division of the Erebonian Regular Army, named Varta with the rank of Lieutenant General...... He is currently in charge of training for anti-mechanized warfare. I'll be in charge of the training in your class tomorrow, so I'll say hello in advance. ”
"Ahem...... Olaf Craig, commander of the 4th Mecha Division. Commander-in-chief of today's joint military exercises. Thank you for your advice. Lieutenant General Craig woke up like a dream, and changed back to his serious appearance, looking at the students and instructors beside him with a chill.
"So...... Let me briefly explain. While Knighthardt was still not composed, Lieutenant General Craig cleared his throat and continued: "This exercise is aimed at 'real combat' – that is, what would happen if there was a large-scale war in our armoured forces and places. The specific tactics are to use their main combat vehicles as the core, supplemented by infantry units and armored vehicle units, and at the same time, this time they will also add the element of military flying boats - using maneuverability to carry out destructive high-speed strikes on target groups. Using old combat vehicles as the target group, although they will use autopilot to evade and counterattack, all paint shells will be used - on the contrary, all the exercise troops will use live ammunition. The results of this exercise will also be used as a reference for other mecha divisions that are not yet fully equipped with new combat vehicles. ”
"The time is almost up." Instructor Knighthalt looked at his watch, "It's two minutes until fourteen o'clock in the afternoon. ”
