Chapter 184: Murder by a Knife {I}
Li Ming's soul is faint! I've long said that it's not too much to fight! But this guy actually recruited so many brain-dead recruits for me in a daze! Wouldn't it be better to train a little more and let these cheaters go on a mission!? Do you have to treat such an important military task as a child's play for recruits?
In addition, I remember that the relevant regulations clearly require that the ratio of veterans to recruits should be at least 1:3 for actual combat infiltration tasks above level B. But this guy was so bold that without Lao Tzu's approval, he secretly took it upon himself to reduce the ratio to 1:10 of TMD!
{On second thought}, although this product may be well-intentioned, it is a little rushed! can make such a big mess, if it weren't for the sake of his cronies, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to care about it this time! {Angry complaints when talking to Noah before the video conference.} }
"Humph! It's useless for any of you to intercede this time! Even though he is my confidant, he must take all the main responsibility for it! {pause} Then demote his rank to colonel, and everyone has no opinion on the meritorious service! {At this moment, if someone wants to express their opinion a little, then Li Feng's big eyes will stare at him desperately!} Until the other party dispelled this idea very interestingly. After all, making such a big mistake and causing so many unnecessary losses, such a light punishment is really a bit too much. }
Well, since there is no objection, then it is settled! I said Comrade Zhang Jun, I would like you to convey to me the result of the punishment after democratic discussion by all of us! {Some people are crying out the same thing in their hearts, this TMD is dictatorship!} Absolute dictatorship! And you warn him well for me, there is a limit to my patience! If such a problem arises, then he will roll me straight to the court-martial! ”
After using his absolute power to favor his cronies. Li Feng, who was not very happy, did not hesitate to end the tripartite video conference with the chief of the General Staff and the prime minister. And less than five minutes passed in a hurry, and he was already a little impatient, and after confirming through Noah that Zhang Jun's communication with Li Ming was completely over. I can't wait to find out how bad the failed Singapore special operations were. So, with almost no psychological preparation, the current supreme commander of the shadow force, who was almost removed from his post and tried to be in shock, received another new call that he couldn't refuse at all.
"Chairman Lee! I'm guilty! I'm ashamed to let you worry about my business! {He was secretly prompted by someone before, and he was trying to make a very grateful and somewhat guilty expression, but he didn't have the talent to act, and the tears he squeezed out were too fake and obvious after all!} }
! Li ming. If you don't know how to act, don't pretend there! Don't you know that the disgusting expression of a big man in you is now more ugly than crying!? Forget it, I don't have time to talk to you right now! In the future, just remember it for a longer time and think about it more thoroughly! Although I am now a big leader, you must know that if the mistakes you have made are not corrected by me, if they fall into the hands of a military court, I am afraid that the best outcome will be a result of being expelled from the military and never being used! I can protect you this time, but for the sake of fairness and justice, it is absolutely impossible to do this for the second time!
Oh yes, I said Colonel Li Ming. People should have withdrawn! Are the actual losses of the first team as serious as the report suggests?
Well, Chairman Lee. I am afraid that the situation is far worse than the worst predicted in the report! Ignoring the losses in weapons and equipment for the time being, the actual number of dead and wounded alone is more than half of what was previously estimated. But then again, in that extremely unfavorable situation, the special combat team surrounded on three sides was not completely annihilated, only 65 people were killed, 6 people were missing, and 2 people were trapped, and the result was quite good.
I said Li Ming! Don't make excuses anymore! A failure is a failure! Nothing to be ashamed of! I've read the information you sent me before, and all the responsibility for the failure of the operation is not entirely on you! The responsibility of the civilian personnel and the recruits and veterans who are responsible for the procurement of logistics and equipment is far greater than that of you, the decision-maker and executor! If you want to talk about your problem, I'm afraid that you are too considerate of other people's opinions, maybe a little too democratic!
But then again, I think you know! The entire Southeast Asian region, except for the first team responsible for Singapore, failed in operation, and the rest of the region is now completely controlled! Therefore, in order to achieve the operational objectives set earlier as soon as possible, we will not lose all our achievements because of this. Your secret rescue operation may be postponed for a while! But of course, after the start of the large-scale invasion of our army, with the full assistance of the regular army, I think the combat mission of rescuing the two survivors hiding in the sewer pipe should be easier and simpler!
Go down and get ready! In an hour, large-scale combat operations will be in full swing! When the time comes, your troops will only be allowed to carry out rescue operations according to the instructions of the General Staff. And remember! Don't poke me out of a new basket this time! I said, Colonel Li Ming, I don't seem to understand your eyes! Do you want me to repeat it again?
But! But sir! I must be responsible for the lives of my own men! What if those two recruits didn't hold up during this time, or simply surrendered, or were even killed by the invading Sijin? In addition, not only do we have no name, but also the notoriety of actively invading other sovereign countries does not seem to have a good impact on the international community!
Oh, should we settle this dispute in a more modest way, through diplomatic negotiations? Hehe! Since the failure of the decapitation operation you commanded, for the sake of the lives of the potential prisoners, I did intend to have the diplomatic department take advantage of the favorable situation and strong military pressure in the surrounding area to force them into submission. But the problem is that not long ago, the latest negotiation conditions of the country that I got from Prime Minister Han Weiguo, those cheating contents are too unacceptable for me!
TMD! It's all come to this! The invasion of the Sijin people is also close at hand! But the current prime minister of this cheating country, I don't know if it's because of the water in my brain? Still blinded by interests! In such an unfavorable situation, we still dare to make public the truth about the political changes in the entire Southeast Asian region as a bargaining chip to threaten us to compromise and retreat! This idiot, who has only been a family business for three generations, really thinks that the world has become such a bear-like, nosy but already self-absorbed world policeman GDI, they are about to be unable to protect their homeland. Where is the spare effort to help them maintain justice and peace! Or is it not kidding, the chess pieces that were abandoned early in the morning, are still hoping that the waste paper signed before will be useful?
The banana man surnamed Li actually proposed a compromise merger plan with a high degree of autonomy to continue to hold power! He also takes himself and the cards in his hand too seriously! Hum! I want their millions of civilians hiding in fortified shelters beneath the city! Not the bunch of waste armies and shameless politicians like him deployed above! Now that everyone has torn their faces, there is no need to leave room for it! And I want to remind you that war is a continuation of politics, and it is your duty as a soldier to obey orders. Those problems are left to the professionals of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to solve, and you just need to manage your people and fight your battles! Hehe, but thank you for the reminder, it did give me a better reason to intervene. ”
After a few minutes, the conversation was over, which was not pleasant, but meaningful. Li Feng then began to discuss the feasibility of the somewhat evil idea in his mind with Noah, who was almost omnipotent. At the same time, in addition to the unfortunate companions who died in the city and the rest of the troops who had long since escaped from the city and ascended to heaven, the only two survivors of the Shadow Force who were trapped in Singapore's sewer network also tried all necessary means to save themselves in order to survive until the rescue force arrived.
"Mike, since you said everything is up to me! So first of all, you turn off all the useless auxiliary subsystems of the power armor! Part of the electricity saved is used to ensure the absolute smooth flow of communication lines, and the other part is used for bioradar and night vision devices! On my side, I'll only turn on the energy shield system and communication devices, and I'll turn off other energy-consuming devices as much as possible.
Rather than the two of us, due to the lack of power armor energy, we can't take advantage of all the perks of this equipment. It's better to assign tasks to you as a spear and me as a shield! It would be wiser to exploit the full potential of the entire set of equipment and systems. As long as we cooperate properly, we will definitely be able to carry it until the moment the rescue force arrives!
{Slowed down the pace of progress, Liu Feng, who relaxed his guard, then continued to chat} Hey, but then again! If it weren't for the boycott of the brain-dead civilian officers of the Logistics and Equipment Department! I'm afraid that we, equipped with those more expensive experimental equipment, will never be beaten by the other party like a lost dog today!
Liu, the set of things you are talking about is not the tactical mecha that I was jointly vetoed by five colonel-level officers in the database! That thing is very controversial on our entire military forum! Although there have been countless official sources to prove that the tactical mech has completely passed all the relevant tests, and its performance is extremely safe and reliable!
However, those opponents of the humanoid mecha in our army still use various reasons as an excuse to resolutely disagree with General Li Ming's decision to experimentally equip the mass-produced tactical mecha that has been put into production in small batches to our troops! Those damn idiots, it's better to spend all the money on expanding the troops and related equipment than to spend most of the troops' procurement funds on such fancy things with big goals, average protection performance, and inconvenient storage!
Phew! There is something wrong with those short-sighted bureaucrats who are full of old-fashioned thinking! It is not said that with the same level of technology and resource support, it is more economical and practical to use these things in tanks and armored vehicles. But the problem is that the tank's heavy vehicle with a large lateral width can walk freely through the streets and alleys of cities with narrow terrain and reinforced concrete buildings? With a weight of fifty or sixty tons at every turn, it can casually cross the tofu scum bridges in Southeast Asia and Africa that only know about the heavy ghosts?
Practicability!? Maybe a few decades ago, I would have agreed that it was a science fiction product that didn't quite make sense! But now that GDI's Titan Mecha and NOD Holy Spirit Mecha have achieved great success, is it not acceptable for them to create a new tactical weapon that is between individual power armor and large mech, with fast movement and diverse and flexible weapons and equipment?
Why do those old pedants who can't eat the past insist on their strange scientific theories in the face of obvious facts? Didn't they open their eyes and see the brilliant results that the Air Force had achieved on the battlefield with the new fighters that could transform in three stages? How can we promote the development of science and technology and social progress by refusing to innovate and follow the old ways! ”
At this moment, just as these two shadow army recruits whose psychological qualities are really too explosive, they are very leisurely complaining about the brainless decisions of those stubborn superiors. More than a dozen standard grenades with rocket boosters and AI guidance systems flew head-on in a graceful arc.
With more than a dozen huge explosions passed, the smoke had not yet cleared. Liu Feng, who had long been so angry that he didn't know what to say, shot back with a roaring tone, and scolded involuntarily: "! Jack. Are you blind or deaf! How the hell do you pay attention to the bioradar reaction! Everyone has already touched the door, why don't you remind me! Luckily, I set the energy shield range to the maximum. Otherwise, if these grenades grunt to the soles of our feet, even if we can't blow them up, we will become first-class disabled without feet!
But, it's Liu! {stammering} Obviously you asked me to turn off all those unnecessary subsystems!? I can't blame this kind of thing! ”
After using the sharing system to check the other party's system, Liu Feng, who patted his head heavily with his other hand, shouted depressedly: "Oh, my God! I didn't ask you to turn off the automatic alarm device at the same time! I said Jack, I really admire that you have survived until now, this TMD is simply a miracle! If the two of us make it back alive this time, I'd love to know how you passed the Recruit Combat Graduation Exam with a success rate of less than 35 percent? ”
