Chapter 390 Secrecy Regulations
Night began to carefully study the map like this, pointed to the hangar circled by Smith, and said, "When I first saw the map from the Aquila Brigade on the battlefield, I thought the layout of this imperial base was a little strange, and now I know where that strange feeling comes from. Night tapped his finger on the place where Smith had circled it, then in another place, and continued: "These two large buildings, to be exact, these two large hangars. β
Smith, who was on the side, nodded: "The layout of a general base usually sets up a large number of defensive buildings on the periphery, such as guard towers, bunkers, etc. And set up some important facilities, such as hangars, in the center of the base, such a position where the enemy cannot attack with flat fire, so as to prevent their important facilities from being hit by the enemy's high-precision flat fire. The hangar, the most important facility, should theoretically be placed behind the maintenance workshop, and the building in front of it should be used to completely isolate the enemy's flat fire angle, so as to avoid their mecha troops being sniped by the enemy when they attack. β
"But now, in the layout of the Imperial 609 transit base, two large hangars are actually placed on the periphery of the base in the direction of the Federation, and there are no defensive measures in front, so it can be said that they are naked in the direction of attack." Garth took Smith's words and circled another place on his computer that he had tapped with his finger.
Ye laughed and said: "That is to say, the commander of the empire is very confident in the range of the things in these two hangars, so placing them on the periphery of the base, on the one hand, avoids the impact of the base buildings on their vision and shooting angle, and on the other hand, it is also to use them as an ultra-long-range strike force." However, this kind of thing still needs to be guided by the Scout, or judged by the opponent's ballistics. Both methods. The former scouts take a lot of risks. And you can't hit it all at once. The latter, on the other hand, is a latecomer and loses the first opportunity. β
"That's the consequence of not having a fighter, those people in the Imperial Council pay too much attention to the role of mechas. As everyone knows, on the battlefield, multi-arms mixed combat is the king. Joe, who was on the side, was shocked, and the other three people suddenly cast surprised glances at this guy.
The corners of his mouth slightly hooked as he pretended to be shy, and he said angrily: "Don't look at people like that." People will be shy. β
Night and Smith vomited at once, while Garth reached out and touched Joe's forehead, and then said strangely, "I don't have a fever, how can I say so many things that make sense?" Did Joe, you let that beam scare away? β
Jo opened the big hand that Garth had pressed on his forehead, and said happily, "I don't have a fever, I heard these words from Major General Garancha." β
"Cut, it's not your own thought, what are you happy about?" Smith always takes any opportunity and Joe raises the bar.
Joe ignored Smith's words and waited for the night to continue his analysis.
Ye knew that Qiao was just sighing before, and he didn't care about him interrupting his words. He continued: "The commander of Base 609 obviously didn't want to put his scouts in danger, so he chose the kind of tactics that hit the first shot with a higher hit coefficient. But this tactic has a drawback. It's just that when you encounter an opponent who changes positions with one shot, it won't play any role. Hehe, that commander must have wanted to kill me in this way because I barely switched positions when attacking the 177 outpost, but unfortunately it was a little bit worse. Night shook his head and sighed, as if someone else had become the target of the beam, and this guy had no awareness that he was the target of the beam.
"Boss, there's another fatal flaw to the preemptive approach, which is that we can attack their hidden hangar first, so that we can disrupt their attack." Smith added.
Joe interjected, "Maybe the King of Land's blasting bombs can kill the contents of the hangar in one fell swoop, and then we'll save a lot less effort." β
"Impossible." Garth shook his head and said, "What needs to be hidden in the hangar must be something that can be moved, otherwise the Imperial engineers don't need to spend a lot of effort to build a hangar, just make a fixed bunker." And it's very likely that the things in it are sniper combat vehicles of the same level as the King of Land, or even mechs. That level of armor would have been difficult to destroy them with a single blow with the power of a cloudburst bomb alone. β
Garth's words focused everyone's attention on the thick beam on the screen, and Night nodded to indicate that he agreed with Garth's point of view, and at the same time took over the conversation: "Looking at this beam on the video, and judging from the comparison with the Joe mecha and the damage suffered by the Joe mecha, it is very likely that the secret weapon is equipped with the largest caliber beam naval gun." β
"What, sir. You mean the 400mm beam naval gun? No way. Smith said in surprise that the beam cannon is not only huge, but also consumes a lot of energy, and the energy supply line is also quite complicated.
Joe laughed, "Smith, don't you make a fuss, isn't the King of the Land made by the Empire, and it's not a 480mm gun that we can't believe it." There was nothing surprising that the Empire's group of maniac engineers were able to move naval guns to mechs, it was still existing technology, just a platform. Didn't our Cannon warriors just use two 680mm beam cannons, and the caliber is not much smaller than the Empire's secret weapon. The Empire's new toy is nothing compared to the King of the Land. β
Ye waved his hand, signaling that he did not agree with Qiao's words, and said: "The 400mm beam cannon does not mean that it can be transplanted if it is transplanted, and there are still no simple ones for such a large-caliber beam cannon to be applied to the mecha. The issue of energy supply, the problem of particle turbulence during shelling, and the flexibility of the mech are all things to be carefully considered. It is important to know that the smaller the caliber of the weapon, the fewer problems of all kinds of mess. Not only is the caliber of the 400mm beam cannon 160mm larger than the 680mm gun, otherwise all of our cannon fighters will use 400mm guns, and the empire will not just install a single barrel. However, the Empire's engineers really didn't know how to make weapons using the amplitude of the beam under the New London Star that was basically equivalent to the surface arc of the earth. When I first saw the beam study, I just threw it aside. β
"It seems that the Empire's mecha research power should not be underestimated." The words of the night silenced everyone. Once again, the Empire's research on mechs surpasses that of the Federation. Mechs equipped with 400mm beam guns can not only play the role of heavy mobile turrets in positional warfare, but more importantly, in terms of ships, mechs with guns of such caliber will definitely become a new generation of battleship killers, which is an absolute disaster for Federation warships, especially destroyers and combat aircraft carriers with fragile armor.
"Ugh." Garth sighed heavily. "When I first got the Assault, I was happy for a long time, and I was glad that the Federation's mecha technology had finally surpassed that of the Empire, and it had produced mechs that were superior to the Bear and Tiger and could be on par with the Empire's latest wolf cavalry. You must know that at that time, the pilots who used wolf cavalry in the empire were far less than the pilots who used our assault troops. Now our army has not had new equipment for a long time, but the empire has given us two surprises, hehe. β
Night smiled and patted Garth and said, "Don't be pessimistic." It's only been a little over a quarter since our army has been equipped with mechas, but the empire has been equipped for more than a year. If only the researchers of the empire don't come up with something new. The Imperial Diet had to kill them, so they invested a lot of money. It's too bad to have no results. But our Federation, in just a few months, has been able to develop a mecha that can compete with the Empire's cutting-edge mechas, which is already very, very good. And even more powerful Thunderbolts are already in production. Therefore, the empire is only ahead of the federation in the field of mecha weapons, and the federation's research on the main body of mecha is superior to the empire, each has its own strengths. β
The reason why almost all of the Federation's mecha research is done by the Aria Group, and Hohenheim's research is based on the Aria Group's mecha technology. If people underestimate the Federation's mecha research capabilities, isn't that tantamount to underestimating the Aria Group? Night wouldn't allow that to happen, even if Alicia wasn't Night's mother's fiancΓ©e. Hao Ye and Alicia have been friends for several years, and no one will raise their eyes to look at the group that their best friend has worked so hard to let others look down on. What's more, the founder of the Aria Group, the federally recognized "grandmother", Mrs. Florence Sr., is the godmother of the Night Mother, so the Night will not allow others to underestimate the Aria Group in terms of friendship, family affection, and maybe love.
"That's right, but it's not a head. May I ask a presumptuous question? Garth looked up at the night, his eyes full of curiosity.
"What's the problem?" Night asked rhetorically.
"Well, do you have any connection with the Aria Group? Why is it that the latest equipment of the Aria Group was first handed over to the Reaper Commandos? According to Major General Garancha, the assault troops you use in Emma are all made of crystalline silver-chrome alloys that are roughly equivalent to those of the Dragon Knights. Garth quickly finished the question, as if he was afraid that he would not let himself say roughly the same in the middle of the conversation.
"What? Crystalline silver-chrome alloy? What kind of armor was the Reaper commando in Emma at that time? Before Night could answer, Smith on the side shouted, "Wow, that's a big deal, it is estimated that the Aria Group has used all the crystalline silver-chrome alloys to create the strongest assault soldiers for the leader's commando." β
Smith's surprised look made Joe very strange, so Joe consciously became a studious little white and asked, "What is crystalline silver-chrome alloy?" Is it precious? Joe thought that instead of dying of depression in ignorance, Joe should be a novice and ask what could make his teammate so out of shape.
The three people around rolled their eyes helplessly, and Garth explained to Joe: "Crystalline silver-chromium alloy is a metal with twice the strength of the super-tensile ceramic composite steel we usually use, but the reason why the smelting process is complex and the material is expensive, so it cannot be popularized in mass production. β
Smith, who is proficient in all kinds of data materials, immediately pointed out the shortcomings in Garth's words, and said: "Captain, either it can't be popularized and mass-produced, or ordinary production is also very difficult, and all the crystalline silver-chromium alloys in the whole universe are added together, and it is estimated that it will not be able to make up the armor of ten mechas." β
"Damn, then I just need to steal a piece of Thunderbolt armor, then I won't get rich." Joe screamed when he heard the two of them's explanation, and his eyes were full of Federated Coin symbols.
Garth and Smith on the side immediately distanced themselves from Joe, who was dreaming of making a fortune, with a look on his face that I didn't recognize him, and Night hurriedly backed away, even though it was his mecha armor that Joe wanted to steal.
"Joe, you want to eat peanuts from the gendarmerie, don't bother us, I'm still young, I don't even have a wife, so I don't want to die with you." Garth said, pointing at Joe.
Qiao looked innocent and said, "Captain, don't I just think about it, and I can't really take it." β
"You can't even think about it. That thing is a federal embargo, and if it is not a high-ranking person in Aria, it may be invited by the gendarmerie, even the high-ranking of the federal military department. Smith said.
"Well, don't talk about me anymore. We're now debating why the good stuff of the Aria Group is given priority to the Reaper Commando, don't let the boss divert the topic. Joe raised his hands in surrender, and at the same time pouted to Yeya, signaling that the previous question was to be answered by Ye.
Garth unceremoniously sent a chestnut and said, "It's not that you are a teenager who diverts the topic and talks about others." Then the three of them fixed their eyes on the night, wanting to hear what the first ace of the Federation had to say.
The corners of Ye Wan's mouth hooked slightly, and said: "The three girls under my command are the head of the Aria Group and the godsisters of Alicia, so our commando team is given special care." β
"Alicia? You actually called the name of the first daughter of the Federation without adding the honorific title of Miss, Chief. The attentive Smith immediately heard that Night was different from others in terms of title, and it was obvious that Night's title was a unique title between acquaintances, and it seemed much closer.
Ye didn't think that he was negligent in the title, so that Smith saw the flaw, so he could only hide it and said: "Alicia and I are still classmates for five years, and what I said is the truth." "Indeed, what the night says is the truth, but the facts are incomplete.
"Hmm." The three of them dragged out their voices, with ambiguous expressions on their faces. Theoretically, they wouldn't dare to make fun of a high-ranking officer like this, but they have already learned about Night's character from Garancha, and they can grasp the degree of jokes with Night.
At this point, Ye could only smile wryly and put the index finger of his right hand on his lips, and then pointed to his military rank. It's night to remind the three guys in front of them to pay attention to federal secrecy regulations.
"Understood, sir." The three of them smiled and saluted, but the ridicule in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Ye knew that he could only change the topic first, and he immediately proposed, "I said, everyone, is it time for lunch, the breakfast I ate in the early morning has been digested early." Ye said as he touched his stomach, looking like I was hungry and it was time to eat, but in fact, he was really hungry. (To be continued......)
