Chapter 18: Behind the Peace
The hall was originally bright, but all of a sudden, the lights dimmed.
Instructor John, who had been seen by the students, was accompanied by a bald, smiling scientist in a white coat and stood on a raised metal platform under the screen in the hall.
"Assemble!" Instructor John's deep voice rang out abruptly.
The klemans cadets, who had undergone military training, subconsciously approached the instructor in a dark green military uniform.
The instructor with a solemn expression looked around, took a silver disc from the strange-looking scientist beside him, and gently tossed it.
The disc slowly spun above his palm, casting a curtain of light in front of John's eyes.
Xu Fan, who was in the crowd below, looked at this scene and was a little surprised in his heart.
This is currently the most advanced optical brain carrier in the Federation, and the nuclear element computing power is about 11.5 times that seen on the market.
"Klemans students, first of all, John is here to congratulate you all on passing the physical fitness test." After looking at the flickering and flowing pictures on the light screen with a serious expression, John's eyes fell on the many young students who were at a loss, and said, "Next, the students here have another chance to regret it." Because the next training involves confidentiality regulations, and you can't even contact your family and friends. ”
Instructor John glanced at the many students with disdain, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are all the pride of the sky, not to mention your achievements in the academy, your physical qualities alone are very suitable for the initial training of this recruitment, and you are qualified to participate in the selection." ”
"Still." The instructor from the Federal Mecha Marine Corps paused and said, "But in the next training, except for ensuring that you don't have to worry about your life, the rest can't be guaranteed." And these are not guaranteed, including - lifelong disability! ”
At this moment, on the light curtain in front of the middle-aged instructor, various scenes were changing.
In the sandy planet rock forest, teams of colonial loader mechas, wielding titanium light knives, fought with some huge creatures in melee combat, and in the distance there was artillery fire and bullets.
On the planet full of golden oceans, the base with the flag of the Human Federation was swallowed by a fin-backed creature, the first floor, and the overwhelming energy cannon hit the creature that sank to the bottom of the sea, but the other party was intact.
In the dark space, a civil spaceship was surrounded by dozens of spaceships with red rose patterns on its hull, and finally used the main ship's energy cannon to pierce it. In the picture, hundreds of ordinary human corpses and spaceship wreckage are scattered in the cold void and vacuumless space.
After seeing the last scene, a complex emotion of trembling anger suddenly rose in the hearts of many students.
The court in front of them somewhat guessed that it was the Human Federation that was exploiting planetary resources and fighting against the creatures of the native planet.
And the next scene made them a little indignant.
It is the most despicable and ruthless and cold-blooded space thief in the endless space, who takes pleasure in burning and looting intelligent creatures, and is often reported in the human media.
It's just that the knowledge text descriptions they see in the headline reports are mostly hyped reports, but there are few clear pictures.
The one in front of me is different, this is an immersive screenshot of the real picture.
It's an indescribable shock!
Rumble!
The young cadets in the hall blew up.
"Nima! It's true? And not synthetic? ”
"How could it be ......"
"No, look, I've seen that pattern in a report!"
"Oh my God!"
"This ......"
"It's unimaginable, with the current strength of the Human Federation, these thieves dare to attack openly!"
"What about the Federal Guard? Why not catch them and send them to Satanic Prison? ”
"Is it really a time of peace? Why did I see this horrific scene! Mommy ......"
“……”
……
The picture is abruptly still, and the flowing scene disappears and is replaced by a one
"What you see is only a small part of what has happened outside the federal immigration planet in recent years, and more buried truths cannot be made public, so as not to cause panic among the citizens of the Federation." The middle-aged man who claimed to be Instructor John, with his strong arms hanging down at his side, clenched his sandbag fist, and said in a deep voice: "The recruitment of troops by the Marine Mecha Logistics Department is not like other troops that maintain deterrence and order, only participating in training, promoting military ranks, and gilded professions, but an army with a mission!" ”
"The ultimate purpose of the selection you will participate in next is the battlefield!" The middle-aged instructor bent down meaningfully, swept around the hundreds of students in front of him with a youthful atmosphere, and said, "Okay, next, if you want to quit, leave on your own, you only have this one chance." Because once you participate in the selection training, you will no longer have personal freedom. Until elimination, or being selected. ”
Many of the students at the scene suddenly fell silent.
Those students who were hot-headed and enthusiastic at that time got a lot of information from the instructor's words and the inside story mentioned, and many of them already regretted it.
This is beyond the perception of their youth in adolescence.
Before today, they thought that war was far away from them, but today, they suddenly found that under the original appearance of peace, the story of blood and tears was so close to them.
It didn't matter whether they wanted to participate or not, the instructor's words echoed in their ears.
War.
Is it called war just because of the cruelty of the space thieves?
No.
After all, they are students of institutions of higher learning, and their horizons are not so narrow, and war is not a good word in peacetime, and they know this very well.
They have always been proud to be the most humane citizens of the Commonwealth, but on the one hand, it is also these laws that restrict their words and deeds everywhere that have made people's hearts more and more impetuous, and they are the younger generation who have inherited the continuation of civilization.
Since there is such a good opportunity to become one of these soldiers behind the peace......
After a violent psychological struggle, no one flinched at this point!
Both boys and girls.
In the silent crowd, Xu Fan glanced at the delicate Xue Ni beside Xiao Meng, and saw that the girl was biting her lip and staring closely at the light curtain on the stage, obviously not flinching.
"Good." John, a middle-aged instructor who couldn't see the rank clearly, nodded with satisfaction, his thick brows stretched, he looked at the audience, and said in a thick voice: "It is worthy of being Dean Lanton's students, and they are all very courageous." Then you have a week to say goodbye to your family and friends, and at this moment in seven days, please meet at the entrance of Klemans College on time. Now, disband! ”
At first, hundreds of young students were still a little enthusiastic, but after hearing 'Dean Lanton', many students already pouted secretly.
The dean who is always dressed as an aristocratic peacock?
They don't admit that their choices have anything to do with him.
