037 Whirlwind III
Bai Zhongqi came from the front compartment of the landing craft to the rear compartment full of soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Every Marine soldier was fixed in his chair and could not get up to salute, and Bai Zhongqi waved his hand to exempt them from the military salute. Directly in front of the rear cabin, there was the officer's seat, Bai Zhongqi sat down, and the seat belt automatically fixed him to the seat.
He glanced at each of the Marines, their armor masks not closed, and he could see what each of them looked like.
"As your Führer, I am delighted to be able to lead you in this operation, believing that it will become not only a part of your important memory, but also mine. The level of development of the earth is far worse than that of our Iridium, but the earthlings have a good imagination and are a creative race, which is the same as our Iridium. In the science fiction works of the earth, such a force has appeared. They are the strongest of the human race, trained extremely harshly, and possess unrivalled courage. They are able to fly directly into the atmosphere and land on the planet's surface in a small or even single vehicle in a planetary orbit. They broke through behind enemy lines at speeds close to Mach 10, and because they could not carry heavy weapons, they could face an enemy dozens of times their size with extremely rudimentary equipment. At the same time, they are exposed to various risks. During the landing phase, it may turn into a human satellite orbiting the planet in a low orbit because of the mistake of deceleration and orbit change, and it may even land at a distance of 10,000 kilometers from the mission target after dozens or hundreds of circles around the planet, and fall into the hands of the enemy.
For the Iridium, this strange mode of combat can almost be called stupid and send to death. I dare assert that we Iridians are one of the most intelligent races in the entire galaxy, and our philosophy is to leave the least amount of blood, or even no bloodshed, and wipe out all our enemies. Before we carry out the landing battle, we will use large-scale planetary bombing weapons to directly flatten the enemy's resistance forces on the planet, and at the beginning of the landing stage, we also have a large number of armed landing craft and a large number of fighters in the near-Earth atmosphere as cover. It wasn't until the landing craft was grounded on the ground that we created a safe area with no fire, and our infantry dragged all sorts of powerful weapons and ground vehicles out into battle. Even, in the face of an extremely powerful enemy, such as the Snail Mosquito War two hundred years ago, we will not rush to launch a landing operation directly, but gradually consume the Warships of the Snail Mosquito before carrying out the final general attack.
However, I have never believed that we Iridians lack courage. In the wars in which the empire has historically participated, there has been no shortage of brave and heroic warriors. In the face of the enemy's well-defended planetary defense system, can the warriors of Iridium use their fearless fighting spirit to destroy the enemy's defenses and cause great trouble to the enemy, so as to create a chance for victory in our frontal battlefield? In my opinion, it must be okay.
Today, I have selected thirty-one of you soldiers in the Marine Corps who are physically and personally strong-willed, in the hope that the great United Empire will be able to obtain a formed assault infantry today. Dare to leap into orbit, use your body to endure the terrible atmospheric friction and planetary gravity, and face a hundredfold enemy to win with wisdom and bravery! ”
Bai Zhongqi is a good orator, this is his natural talent, plus his attribute bonus of the head of the empire, so a simple word has already inspired these soldiers he recruited in the Marine Corps. He got up from his seat, leaned against the bulkhead of the landing craft, and pulled out a stack of stickers. It's not much different from stickers on earth, except that this thing can be directly integrated into the material itself after touching the hard material and will not be erased.
Sitting closest to him was a tall non-commissioned officer, the highest-ranking of the group. Bai Zhongqi came to the Master Chief, tore off the sticker, and slapped it in the middle of the Master Chief's armor helmet.
The Master Chief glared and watched with some nervousness as the Führer of the Empire was labeling himself. He is a taciturn guy, and even his relationship with Xiao Yu, the commander of the Marine Corps, was not very good. For Bai Zhongqi, the head of the empire, he was originally relatively indifferent. After all, the powerful people of the empire have no real intersection with these small soldiers, and use them as tools that can be used.
The sticker is attached to the Master Chief's helmet, which is actually slightly crooked. All the soldiers are wearing the Taberon heavy individual power armor specially issued by Bai Zhongqi for them this time, this kind of individual armor alien is more attractive than the broken army, a matte black, higher defense, and the load that can be borne is also greater, although the types of weapons added are not more than the broken army type, but because of its own energy density, the power of the weapon will naturally increase. Attached to the Taberon armor was a creepy-looking white skeleton with a few letters emblazoned underneath: ODST.
Next, the Führer put a white skull on the thirty-one soldiers in the landing module and shouted: "From this day forward, you will be the most fearless soldiers in the United Empire." You are the only ones in the entire United Empire who dare to land on your feet! The mission you carry out will be the most difficult and dangerous, and you may have to die in the next second, but as long as you carry this heavy armor and the symbol of the [Skeleton Airborne Corps], you will symbolize the greatest courage of this empire! ”
The choice of skeletons as a symbol means that these warriors have considered themselves dead, as the tasks they perform may be tantamount to suicide. But equally, skeletons also represent the death of their enemies, and they will bring death to their enemies.
"Yes!" All the soldiers responded loudly, and their emotions had obviously been mobilized by Bai Zhongqi.
In fact, there is no risk in their next task. Enemy weapons can't even penetrate their Tabron armor. Bai Zhongqi mobilized this group of soldiers in this way, and he was also reshaping the power of Iridium in his own way. The orbital airborne forces are indeed a somewhat stupid concept for the military-technologically advanced Iridium in terms of concept. But Bai Zhongqi made it synonymous with a symbol of courage. In the future, his newly formed Skeleton Airborne Corps will be larger and larger, but the actual orbital airborne mission that may not be carried out will not be one in a hundred.
Bai Zhongqi also took advantage of this opportunity to continuously deepen his control over Iridium's power. The Marine Corps led by Xiao Yu, Bai Zhongqi can't be fully trusted now. And the selection of the Skeleton Airborne Corps from among the soldiers in the Marine Corps who were not in line with Xiao Yu's party and was directly under his own command also allowed Bai Zhongqi to gradually master the available Iridium infantry forces.
