Chapter 24 Preparing for War
Hearing this, Qianye already had a general understanding of the pattern of the red scorpion.
Each fighter has his own score, and each combat battalion also has a score for this level. Complete the task to get points, with points can be exchanged for a variety of equipment and materials. The headquarters of the Red Scorpion Legion is only responsible for equipping the most basic supplies, and all other additional benefits are up to each combat battalion to find a way to earn points in exchange.
In the same Red Scorpion Legion, the gap between each combat camp can actually be very large, as is the difference between the Tiger Scorpion and the Blood Scorpion. This is not only a contest of individual soldiers' qualities, but also a contest of commanders' abilities.
The Red Scorpion model is popular in the Empire, and many legions, especially special legions, are very fond of this style of management.
Nan Batian took Qianye into the Tiger Scorpion camp, led him to the dormitory, and said, "This is where you live." We don't have a lot of people here, it's spacious. If you need anything, go to the old man in charge of logistics in the battalion. Have a good night's rest and start your rookie career early tomorrow morning!"
Rookie, Qianye silently thought in his heart. He now knew what he meant by being a rookie.
The rookie is a special creature in the Red Scorpion Legion.
While there are rookies in every legion, the Red Scorpion is in a league of its own. At Red Scorpion, the new young fighters are rookies for the first two years. After two years, he will be promoted to a young scorpion. Only then did they truly become members of the Red Scorpion and be able to take on tasks independently.
After the young scorpions, there are black scorpions, red scorpions, and even scorpion kings.
Rookies have almost no status in the Red Scorpion on the one hand because they are rookies. When facing veterans, rookies are the objects of reprimands and calls. But on the other hand, the status of a rookie is unique.
The Red Scorpion Legion has an unwritten rule that when there is a mortal danger on the battlefield, the rookie will withdraw first. Then there are the veterans, the officers and queens. In any case, the life of a rookie is the highest priority. The red scorpion also wrote this rule in the history of the legion with blood, and there was a battle example of a team of more than 100 people being wiped out, but two rookies successfully escaped.
Indeed, as Nan Batian said, from the second day, Qianye experienced the difference in the rookie career.
In the following months, Qianye only went on a few missions, and the rest of the time was spent training. Continuing to practice the art of warfare was naturally a top priority, and in addition to that, he also needed to master dozens of different courses, including piloting almost all models of vehicles and airships in the Empire.
In addition, there is special training for the use of some special equipment. Senya also learns a lot about the secret of the empire, including politics, economics, and some real history that has been eliminated from historical sources.
For example, the Yellow Springs Training Camp.
The real back-the-scenes supporters of the Yellow Springs training camp were the Imperial War Department. It and three other training camps, Dark Flower, Sword Rain Spring, and Dao Fangyuan, are training bases secretly set up by the National Security Department of the Military Department. However, the Huangquan training camp is far above the other three training camps in terms of scale and training effectiveness, that is, looking at the entire empire, it is also ranked among the top three with similar institutions of those profound gate valve clans.
Huangquan is a very special existence, it is completely different from the concept of ordinary military schools, and has always been committed to cultivating top killers who can survive in extreme environments. At the same time, it was also a testing ground for a group of radical elites in the empire to practice their theory of natural selection.
There are many people in the upper echelons of the empire who believe that judging from the initial pattern of the Terrans' awakening to the Force, only between life and death can they unleash their true potential and become more powerful.
In the era when the dark race ruled the world, there were hundreds of races that were enslaved and suppressed. The Terran can stand out because it has been wandering on the line of life and death for many years, and there are constantly powerful people awakening their potential, leading the Terran to become strong from generation to generation.
They believe that the middle and lower classes of the empire, especially the common people, are now living too comfortably, living a stable life, losing their enterprising spirit, and the emergence of talents is becoming less and less, and the powerful ability is gradually fading. If this continues, the entire Great Qin Empire will go into decline.
If the human race wants to maintain its glory and expand its territory, it must always survive in crisis and evolve between life and death!
This view prevailed in the upper echelons of the empire, especially in the upper echelons of the military department. Huangquan is the place where this school of thought is concentrated. The camp deliberately shrouds each trainee in the shadow of death from the start, forcing them to fight desperately to survive, and in the process, all of their potential will be developed.
Although the elimination and mortality rate of the Huangquan training camp are frighteningly high, and it has also been criticized by some internals, the trainees cultivated are also recognized as the top talents.
Their real combat power is far above the data on paper, and there is no pressure on a graduate of the Huangquan training camp to single-handedly take on three or five elite soldiers of the Imperial Army of the same level. In a complex environment and even an extreme environment, the combat effectiveness of the training camp graduates is even more staggering.
It is said that during a certain combat test, the graduates of the three training camps formed a squad and completely annihilated a reinforced mountain company of the Imperial Army in a mountainous environment!
After this battle, the funding of the Huangquan training camp directly increased fivefold, and the number of new students recruited each year soared directly from thousands to the limit of 20,000 people.
Moreover, every twenty or thirty years in the Huangquan training camp, there will always be a truly amazing and brilliant character. Such a person is enough to change the situation of one side with one hand! As long as there is such a person, the Huangquan training camp can continue to exist in defiance of all criticism. What's more, in the past hundred years, there have been as many as four such people!
So the Huangquan training camp has not only always existed, but also grows day by day. The faction they represent is known in the empire as the Predators.
At first, most of the students who entered Huangquan were civilians and orphans selected from all over the country, but after that successful combat test, many clans began to send the children of the side branches in.
Compared with commoners and orphans, they have the foundation and resources, and have a better chance of success, and once they graduate, they can achieve a position in the family that far exceeds their origins. Inspired by the successful examples, many of the children of the side branches of the clan who wanted to fight even took the initiative to ask to enter the Huangquan training camp.
So in the past three hundred years, Huangquan's fame has become more and more famous, and even the high-ranking gate valve families will send their descendants in, in order to be sharpened and become the mainstay of the family.
The Huangquan training camp has also made some adjustments accordingly, giving some but very limited care to these core children. There are two main ones, one is to save lives, and the other is that girls don't have to participate in coming-of-age ceremonies.
Because on the battlefield against the dark race, privilege is meaningless. And the Gate Valve clan has more resources and conditions to help their children awaken the Force, and they are all the new forces on the front line in the future. Rights and responsibilities are always reciprocal.
And for the children of these big families, once they add the experience of Huangquan's graduation to their resumes, then they will definitely go all the way to the top, whether they are seeking a future in the empire or returning to the family to develop, it will be extremely smooth.
Qianye had no idea that the Huangquan Training Camp, where he had stayed for nine years, would have such a deep and complex background, let alone that its true scale would be so large.
There were only a hundred people in the class around him, and except for a few life and death tests where students fought each other, he rarely saw people from other classes. Even those hundred people were consumed, replenished, and reconsumed, and the longest familiar faces were remembered in a thousand nights no more than fifteen.
That night, Qianye lay on the bed, his fingers fiddling with the last piece of 'Zhuyan blood'. Now he knew that this precious drug was only most effective during the initial stages of the Force's foundation, and when the Force node was ignited, its effects began to diminish. It was also one of the few items he brought out of Yellow Springs.
Next, Qianye began to learn the various systems of the empire again. Only then did he understand that even if the Red Scorpion Legion was a rookie, his authority was very high, so he was able to understand the inside story of the Huangquan training camp.
In an empire with an extremely complex hierarchical system, the Red Scorpion warriors have higher authority than some of the lower nobles.
In this way, the first few months of Qianye's joining the Red Scorpion were basically spent in study and training. His daily time was divided into fifteen-minute units, of which sleep took up less than four hours. Even when sleeping, half the time should be soaked in the body repair solution to speed up recovery and strengthen the physique, which is a military resource distributed to the soldiers of the special elite legion.
The era of 'Zhu Yan Blood' is over.
Now Qianye knows the true scale of the red scorpion.
There are only 10,000 official members of the Red Scorpion Legion, including more than 1,000 rookies. The annual elimination rate of rookies is about 20%. Of course, the rookies eliminated here are not dead, but sent to other legions. Even if the red scorpion is eliminated, it is still an ace level when put in the main army.
And the logistics and support personnel equipped for these 10,000 red scorpions are as many as 200,000!
This is also the headquarters of a red scorpion like a small city.
A few months later, Qianye can be regarded as having a little bit of human rights, and he has faded a little bit of rookie youth. During this period of study, Chiya's meticulousness, concentration, and patience were unanimously recognized, and some officers even thought that it had reached the point of being close to perversion. Qianye can spend days engrossing in one thing without the slightest distraction.
In return, Chiya got a perfect score in almost any subject. The only thing that constrained him was the speed of the Force's cultivation. On the comprehensive ranking list of all rookies, Qianye has always been around ten.
As soon as the rookie's learning period expired, Nan Batian appeared in front of Qianye again.
This giant-like creature began to take charge of Chiya's fighting and physical strengthening training himself, and succeeded in branding him as a tiger scorpion: Chiya's physique became more and more robust, and if you ignored his delicate face, he was a strong and powerful warrior.
In this way, in the fourth month of joining the Red Scorpion, Qianye ushered in a task that he remembered for a long time.
