Chapter Seventy-Two: Send Me to Pick Up the White Blade with My Empty Hands
‘…… This is the first joint operation between our three military divisions, and it is of great significance, so you all have to give it your all. Our MechWarriors have been equipped with the latest Mecha MSI Type C for this battle, and we have all the advantages in both the air and the ground, but don't take it lightly, nothing is perfect. On the battlefield, you will need to be adaptable, and I only ask for one thing, and that is to be careful, composed, and brave! Well, now it's up to Colonel Keith to explain the strategic arrangement of this campaign......
There was a dark light in a tactical conference room, and the 12 captains who had participated in the battle were seated inside. Lieutenant General Jossier stepped aside after giving an encouraging speech, and a burly, fierce-looking colonel stepped up to the stage and nodded in greeting.
This battle included all the mecha fighters of the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 3rd divisions of the Fifth Army. This time, our combat units will all be miniature C-type mechs, which we have practiced a lot in our daily lives, and now it's time to use them on the battlefield! ’
Colonel Keith finished his speech and glanced at the captains, then turned on the large screen behind him.
'Mount Kennedy is an active volcano that was formed 370,000 years ago as a result of the earth's crustal movement, and it is still erupting, but the amount of the eruption is very, very weak, and it is not within the range of our fighting. ’
Our target is 2 kilometres east of it. ’
Colonel Keith clicked on the map to zoom in, and in a dense forest, a smoking active volcano was particularly visible, and there was something the size of a matchbox not far from it.
That's what we're aiming for. ’
Colonel Keith zoomed in again, and a giant river-class combat ship about 700 meters long appeared on the screen. At least for a mech, it's huge.
'According to intelligence, this river-class ship is a superweapon that the Blue Shield Republic has traded to the rebels. ’
Super your brother-in-law! This kind of boat brother has been tired of sitting in the old army fraternity. Olive sat in the last row of the dimly lit tactical boardroom, boredly spinning the ballpoint pen in her hand and looking at the (native) as Colonel Keith boasted about the 'big' ship.
Olive was just appointed as the captain of the mecha company L, and this was announced yesterday by Joschel! And she has been 'playing' in the Nata Bend military base for almost 1 month. The 11 mecha companies that were originally fully staffed were added by 1. Okay now, Olive wants no people, no mechs, think about what Lieutenant General Joshur said at the time.
'MSI C is impossible, they're all divided by other companies, and aren't there other mechs?' As a good fighter, don't always ask the army for this and that, you have to get the most out of every bullet and don't care how many bullets you have. ’
'Do you understand?' ’
Olive shook her head desperately,
It's okay if you don't understand it now, you'll understand it later. All right! I'll give you all of your people, so be it! ’
Labor bullets want to explode your! Oh my! Is there such a bully?
If I don't give the new mecha, how can I fight the enemy, I will fight the enemy that can't be detected by the radar! The other captains are all full of more than 60 people, and I have only 1 light commander, will you let me take myself there? What the hell do you think in your head, 11 mecha companies are good, why do you insist on making a 12 team, is it because of the double number that is auspicious?
'This spaceship has the world's most advanced anti-gravity technology, a super technology that can only be possessed by a first-order civilization, if we can get it and use it for our scientific research, I think you all understand its significance! ’
'Colonel, are you saying that we are fighting against enemy ships this time? ’
A big black captain asked.
We're not just going to have to fight each other's ships, we're going to have to fight the rebels guarding it. ’
Colonel Keith said to all the captains.
'Colonel, we've never had the experience of fighting a ship. ’
The other captain raised his hand and said.
'There will be a first time for everything, and our duty is to take orders and complete tasks. But don't worry too much, the ship's main gun is unloaded, so it doesn't pose much of a threat. ’
'Our 34 mech companies in three divisions, 2,000 of the latest MSI C-type mechs are more than enough to deal with these enemies, if we can't take it down, what face do we have to say that we are a soldier?' ’
'Colonel Keith, how many garrisons does the enemy have?' ’
'Well, about 1,000 Paladin Mi1s, tanks, armored vehicles, and other armaments we're not sure for the time being. ’
'How many guns does the ship have to shoot?' ’
'How strong is the ship's defense?' ’
'Colonel Keith, are we going to use only mechs for this mission?' ’
‘……’
The captains all asked their own questions.
'Alright, everyone, be quiet! We can't be sure how many mechs the other side has, how many cannons they have, we can only come to these conclusions based on some data analysis. We have no way of knowing if there is still an enemy hiding there, and this battle can be said to be very difficult, which I know better than you. But this is not a reason for you to fail, you have to overcome all kinds of difficulties to complete this mission, not only for the country, but also for yourself! ’
'In the past month or so of training, you have become completely proficient in the MSI C's fighting style. The ship is ours, and we must take it and come back alive, that's what I ask of you. ’
Colonel Keith looked at the captains below who were silent, and said solemnly.
'Do you have any questions?' ’
Seeing that Keith had basically finished speaking, Lieutenant General Joshul looked at the captains who had quieted down and asked in addition.
'General, I would like to ask when my mechs and manpower will arrive?' I don't think I have time to grind in the team, or which company should I join? ’
Olive was surrounded by a vacant area, and no one wanted to sit next to her, when she suddenly asked a question, and everyone looked at her.
'Ahem, Major Olive Live, we'll talk about your problem privately after the tactical set-up!' Okay, who else has a problem now? ’
I'm Cao! Didn't you ask who still had questions? Looks like I've been pushed out of that 'who' range?
……
After a month's 'break', Olive found herself being squeezed out of the base. Although she felt it from the moment she first came here, she didn't expect to be put to death!
Other mech companies have been training for more than 1 month, and Olive sometimes can't help but watch the training of those new mechs, whether it is running, shooting, rolling and jumping, the new MSI C-type mechs are so outstanding, and the most exciting thing is to train them to switch between normal form and flying form.
An MSI C took off and transformed into a mecha fighter as it ran, which was so imposing, really cool! Olive has countless little stars flashing in her eyes, obsessively, stubbornly, and greedily staring at MSI C in practice, she seems to have one!
But the mecha of 'that old rascal' is not enough, you can use other new mechs for the time being! Drove Olive into the abyss. Her eyes widened instantly, why are you kidding me? I don't like that kind of joke!
It wasn't until her 'new' mech was dragged in front of her that she knew it was really a 'new mech'. ERP Thunderbird! The ground mecha independently developed by Rivitan has completely independent property rights. The mecha is indeed brand new as the 'Dead Old Man' is talking about. But this mecha is a generation higher than that mushroom-headed Kamosh 001, right?
The current MSI C can already be regarded as a 5th generation mecha, it can fight in the air and on the ground, and the Paladin MI1 provided by the Blue Shield Republic for the Resistance is the best of the 4th generation mechas. But how does the second-generation garbage mecha like ERP Thunderbird play with others? Run to target the enemy? Oh......! Could it be that I am the one who has been booked a long time ago, the best candidate for cannon fodder? ……
