"Captain!"

"Captain!"

……

In the team leader's office, two squadron leaders and more than a dozen squad leaders have been waiting for a long time. When Lin Feng came in, everyone stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome, sit down."

Lin Feng sat down first, and the others sat down in turn.

Although in terms of qualifications, Lin Feng is far inferior to the two squadron leaders, and even less than most squad leaders, but there are strict hierarchies in the army, and it is not the qualifications that determine the status of a soldier, but the rank and position. Besides, Lin Feng is Lin Xiaoting's granddaughter and the driver of the "Fire Phoenix".

It's just that when she came in, Lin Feng noticed that everyone's eyes on her were not the same as before.

As for why, Lin Feng knew very well in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have received orders. Without further ado, the mobilization order has been issued, and the special reconnaissance brigade has entered a wartime state in time. I hope everyone will remember that whether it is peacetime or wartime, the special reconnaissance brigade will always be a sharp knife in the third theater. Lin Feng glanced at the captain sitting and said, "Where there is a battle, there is a figure of us." Wherever we are needed, there are our people. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time. The millennium of peace and prosperity has come to an end, and you have twelve hours. When the time comes, I don't want any surprises. If there is any problem, say it now, don't mention it afterwards. ”

Lin Feng had a serious attitude, and no one dared to joke.

Besides, the mobilization order issued by Zhan Ruilin has been issued to all levels of troops through the theater command, and these squadron leaders and squad leaders have returned to the headquarters of the special investigation team after receiving the order. If anything, before that, there were still suspicions that this was a drill. Then after Lin Feng said these words with a straight face, no one dared to doubt it. War is about to break out, and the time has come to embody and prove the value of soldiers.

If you have the right attitude, other problems will not be a problem.

Although the peace lasted for a thousand years, the traditions of the army were not abandoned, especially in the Special Reconnaissance Brigade. As early as hundreds of years ago, that is, at the beginning of the establishment of the special investigation team, Zhan Ruilin formulated a series of plans for the outbreak of war. Lin Feng and the others have to do it now. It is only necessary to complete the mobilization in accordance with these plans, so that all officers and men are on standby, and they are ready to go to the battlefield and carry out their tasks.

In nature, the Special Reconnaissance Brigade is an elite special forces.

Although the garrison, the fleet and the Marine Corps have special forces. However, the combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the special reconnaissance brigade. According to Zhan Ruilin's plan when he formed the special investigation team, the main task of the special investigation team in wartime was to act as a sharp knife and perform difficult tasks that other units could not complete.

Of course, this is only Zhan Ruilin's idea, and it was conceived hundreds of years ago.

What the hell can the Special Detective Brigade do. What to do depends on the situation on the battlefield.

In fact, Lin Xiaoting had already hinted at Lin Feng before this.

Although the federal parliament has passed the war proposal, when Lin Feng returned to the headquarters of the special investigation team, the federal authorities also issued a war mobilization order, and the major theaters began internal mobilization more than ten hours ago, but it will take enough time to complete the mobilization.

In the case of the 3rd theater of operations, even if it is only a partial mobilization, it will take a week.

In peacetime, in order to reduce military spending. The armies of the Third Theater are divided into three levels according to their importance. The fleet and the Marine Corps are Class A troops, and they maintain a full manning rate of more than 80 percent at all times. The garrison is a Class B unit, and the full strength rate is only 60 percent. The guard units of the theater headquarters and the garrisons in various localities are Class C troops, and the full strength rate in peacetime is only 40 percent.

It can be seen that even Category A troops need to be recruited through war mobilization after the outbreak of war.

Although federal authorities and theaters have laws and regulations in place for wartime mobilization, it still takes a lot of time to complete mobilization, especially to recruit enough soldiers. In the case of the fleet, wartime mobilization and conscription are mainly for retired servicemen who have signed reserve contracts. Relatively. The problem of recruiting soldiers in wartime is not very big in Category A troops, after all, most soldiers will sign a reserve contract with the military before they retire. The problem of recruiting soldiers in categories B and C is more prominent, and in addition to the larger shortfall, it is also related to the lack of qualified soldiers. Take the garrison, for example. Even if enough soldiers can be recruited, they will be mainly recruits. As a result, recruited recruits need to be trained. Even by wartime standards, it took a month to complete basic training.

Obviously, mobilization for war is an extremely troublesome and lengthy affair.

At the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War. It took a year for the Human Federation to complete the basic war mobilization, and by the time Xiao Wentian led the legion to the Beacon Star to garrison, the full mobilization had not been completed. It wasn't until five years after the end of the Lighthouse Star offensive and defensive battle that the Human Federation completed its full mobilization.

The question is, will the Silicon Alliance wait until the Human Federation has completed its mobilization before launching an attack?

The answer is clearly no.

Judging from the previous Greenwich Wars, especially the Fifth Greenwich War, the key to whether the Human Federation can hold on and achieve the final victory is whether it can withstand the enemy's attack in the early stage of the war. It can be said that as long as the Human Federation completes the all-out war mobilization, forms thousands of legions, and arms hundreds of millions of soldiers, the human legion is almost invincible on the battlefield.

Obviously, whether or not the enemy's attack could be withstood in the early stages of the war was not the soldiers who were conscripted during the war, but the standing army of the Federation.

The Special Reconnaissance Brigade is a standing army.

Although in terms of establishment, the special reconnaissance brigade is subordinate to the theater command and is a C-level unit, at all times, the full strength rate of the special reconnaissance brigade is 100 percent.

In fact, the Special Reconnaissance Brigade is also the only unit in the Third Theater that is fully manned in peacetime.

In addition to hoping to consolidate Lin Xiaoting's position through the special investigation team and let Lin Xiaoting contain Luo Zhenyu and Du Wantu, it is also related to the value of the special investigation team in wartime, especially in the early stage of the war, that is, the special investigation team is the only unit in the third theater that can exert its full combat effectiveness in the early stage of the war, and it is also the only unit that can engage the enemy's main force on the frontal battlefield.

It can be said that in the early days of the war, the special reconnaissance brigade was the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the Third War Zone.

It's a fire brigade, and that's right.

The point is that the defense line in the third theater of operations is too long.

Although it is the first of the three theaters, whether it is the size of the troops or the combat effectiveness of the troops, the third theater is the first among the nine theaters of the Human Federation, and is even equivalent to the sum of the first and second theaters, but the defense line guarded by the third theater is also very long, accounting for 40 percent of the Greenwich defense line. As a result, in peacetime, it is impossible for the Third Theater of Operations to deploy enough troops along this long line of defense.

In the face of a surprise attack by the enemy, the garrison tasked with guarding the Greenwich Line in peacetime appeared vulnerable.

And that's exactly what happened.

Take Post 828 as an example, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers resisted bravely, but they only held out for a few days. If it weren't for Kutum's rat thrower, I'm afraid there would be nothing to do with Yang Yi and them at all. For the Silicon Alliance, there is no need to capture the entire line of defense, as long as a few breaches are opened, the Greenwich Line, which has been painstakingly managed by the Human Federation for a thousand years, can be turned into an ornament. Because it is a passive defense, it is impossible for the Human Federation to strengthen the entire defense line, so it can only use mobile forces such as the Special Reconnaissance Brigade to plug the loopholes and ensure that the defense line is intact.

It is precisely because of this, Lin Xiaoting mentioned that he has assembled the mobile troops of the theater command to provide support for the special reconnaissance team at any time.

It's just that all Lin Feng and other officers and soldiers of the special investigation team can do now is to wait patiently.

The communication system has been synchronized, and the theater command has continuously sent a steady stream of information from various battlefields so that the officers and men of the special reconnaissance brigade can keep abreast of the battle situation at any time.

The 1st and 2nd theaters of war have been stormed, and thousands of forward posts have been attacked. Although there are no exact statistics, according to the information sent back from the front, the Silicon Alliance has invested thousands of legions. This battle seems to be about to break through the defense line of the first and second war zones in one fell swoop.

Obviously, this is just an illusion.

The line of defense of the first theater is west of the Greenwich meteorite belt, the line of the second theater is to the east, and the third theater is responsible for the first central defense line. Although judging from the momentum of the enemy's offensive, it seems to be a detour from the first and second theaters, outflanking the rear of the third theater with a pincer offensive. The problem is that it will take enough time to break through the line of defense of the 1st and 2nd theaters of operations, and it is quite possible that the 3rd theater of operations will complete the mobilization before then. If the enemy continues to exert its strength in the first and second theaters, the third theater will be able to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Lin Feng was not a staff officer of the Theater Command, and he could see at a glance the problems of the enemy's offensive operations.

There is no doubt that the enemy's goal is not to achieve a breakthrough from the 1st and 2nd theaters of operations, but to have other plans. Perhaps, as Lin Xiaoting said, Kutum first exerted his strength in the first and second war zones, just to make the Human Federation infighting, so as to break the will of the human legion to resist. To put it simply, if the commanders of the 1st and 2nd theaters believe that the 3rd theater caused the war and suffered heavy losses as a result, while the 3rd theater is unscathed, they will have doubts and even suspicions about the motives of the third theater for triggering the war. Even if Zhan Ruilin can explain it clearly, as long as doubts arise, it will inevitably have an irreversible impact on future combat operations.

Action must be taken, not from the sidelines.

This is Lin Feng's thoughts, and it is also the opinion of Lin Xiaoting and other senior generals.

It's just that it is not Lin Feng or Lin Xiaoting who holds the command of the third theater, but Zhan Ruilin. Only Zhan Ruilin can decide when, in what way, and how many troops to mobilize in the third theater to fight, and only after Zhan Ruilin gives the order can the troops at all levels take action.

So, what is Zhan Ruilin waiting for? (To be continued.) )
