The initial footage came from a satellite perspective that simulated an asteroid belt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the bell rang in the starry sky of the entire blue sea, one destroyer after another flew towards the asteroid belt without hesitation to the magnificent background music.

Eventually, they stayed in an area within a certain range of the asteroid belt and began to drop transport ships and mechs on the asteroids according to the previous plan.

The silver design makes the whole scene look particularly spectacular, as if a real war is in full swing.

The blood in the hearts of many viewers was rekindled.

This is the military headquarters of the empire, this is the mecha of the empire!

When the dense new mecha of the Time series appeared in the connecting zone of the asteroid belt, many viewers couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

These applause are not only dedicated to the soldiers who have always guarded the Empire, but also to the researchers who have worked hard to study the latest technology of the Empire's mechas.

For example, Professor Ronan and Shuichiko, who were famous for plagiarism in the imperial capital.

Without their efforts, the new generation of Imperial mechs would definitely not have made their debut so soon.

And there's a deeper layer - for every citizen of the Empire, the mecha complex that has been handed down since the time of Butcher Chen is deep-rooted.

It is the most perfect combination of steel and primordial stone, and it is precisely because of this magical combination of man and steel that human beings have been able to gain a foothold in this star field.

Mecha, for the Imperials, is a belief in itself.

......

The military region's large-scale exercise officially began, and the morale of the Red Coalition Army was in full swing.

With the exception of a slight disadvantage in terms of terrain, they had almost every advantage in a war.

They have powerful logistics, several times the strength of the enemy, better information.

Coupled with General Keynes's latest [target tactics] specially implemented against the enemy who was reduced to pieces, the red camp easily achieved quite fruitful results at the beginning of the exercise.

In the first batch of attack points, at least half of the Blue Army mechs were unable to break through and were surrounded and suppressed by the Red Coalition forces.

And because of the appearance of target tactics, individual pilots with ungodly operational skills did not escape, and were eventually "wiped out" or captured by the Red Army.

The battle reports from the front line kept coming, and the atmosphere in the Red Faction Command Headquarters set up on the outskirts of the asteroid belt was relatively relaxed.

Although Keynes is still full of seriousness, everyone can see that the general is in a good mood now.

"Lenny, another cup of coffee. Add more sugar. ”

Those who know him well know that this means that the general is relatively optimistic about the prediction of the upcoming battle.

"Blind optimism is not a good thing. ”

However, at this moment, a discordant voice appeared in the command headquarters.

Keynes took a sip of his coffee, smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I'm not blindly optimistic, it's just that the overall situation is like this. ”

"I don't know exactly how effective the White Crane's troops are, but they certainly haven't trained how to escape like a rebel, I took a cursory look at the results of the first round, and in just three hours, at least half of the living forces of the Blue Army were eliminated by us!"

"I think the three-day time period that I personally proposed before is still a bit conservative. They hold out for a maximum of 24 hours. ”

Keynes's confident words were accompanied by a cheerful chuckle from the command.

The straight old man's face sank, and he shook his head silently.

Keynes's face sank suddenly.

He didn't understand why Lord He Sicheng was still dissatisfied after the results of the first round came out.

It's only been three hours!

Do you want to annihilate the enemy in three hours?

That's not realistic, is it?

He subconsciously glanced at the latest all-round battle report that had been submitted.

Half a minute later, his face turned blue in an instant.

"Understood?" He Sicheng asked softly.

Although he did not play any role in this military exercise, in essence, he was still an adviser on the side of the Red Army.

He did not come forward directly, but there were actually quite a few secret points about Keynes, and everyone here knew this.

If before, they had the impression that the veteran general was good at scheming, that he was deeply liked by His Majesty the Emperor, and that he was good at dealing with the cabinet -- as in the case of the popular remark, "he is not so much a soldier as a politician" -- but after the three-hour military exercise, everyone's impression of him changed.

The military literacy of this veteran general is definitely not as simple as a politician.

The few words he said casually almost all pointed to the crux of the battle.

Even the [target tactics] created by Keynes himself after months of painstaking deliberation and set for guerrilla warfare were only used in actual combat exercises after being perfected by veteran generals.

Now as soon as he opened his mouth, although everyone thought it was strange, they still felt a pang in their hearts.

Especially seeing General Keynes's thoughtful eyes.

The staff officers began to carefully check the battle report in their hands, wanting to know what was wrong.

After a while, someone exclaimed, "This battle loss ratio?"

Keynes's face sank: "The battle loss ratio ...... It's a bit of an exaggeration. ”

Previously, they were immersed in joy, just looking at how many Blues had been eliminated, but they did not carefully observe the loss figures of their own mechs.

Now under He Sicheng's suggestion, everyone is frightened by this terrifying data!

The battle loss ratio is close to 1.8 to 1!

What kind of concept is this?

With a serious superiority in strength and information, the Red Coalition must consume nearly two mechs for every time it destroys or captures a Blue Army mecha!

This is completely unscientific!

How can the pilots of the Ninth Military Region be so strong in combat effectiveness?

Keynes frowned: "Is it tacit cooperation?"

This is an excuse that he has barely found after meditating for a long time.

After all, the Red Coalition Army is a mixed establishment of the Second Military Region and the Sixth Military Region, and the relationship between the two sides is not very good, and perhaps there were some personal grievances before; if there is no tacit understanding, it is also reasonable.

It's just that despite this, such a battle loss ratio is also difficult for the empire to accept.

That is, a military exercise, if it is in actual combat, such a battle loss ratio may even make the military department forced to temporarily withdraw troops under pressure!

After all, the life of every Imperial is very precious - especially the elite pilots.

"In the northern theater, the battle damage ratio is much higher than this. ”

He Sicheng took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and his tone was still neither happy nor sad: "This is the fundamental reason why the empire has never been able to take down the rebels." ”

"It's not that we can't eliminate them, it's that we can't afford that price!"

A staff officer pushed his glasses, still incredulous: "This is completely different from what we planned. ”

"Is terrain really that important?"

"It's not a terrain advantage. Keynes retorted with a cold face: "The troops of the Ninth Military Region are also fighting in the asteroid belt for the first time, and they have received less information than ours, and they are facing an encirclement and suppression attack, and the pressure is several times that of our army......"

"It's ...... Morale issues, right?"

He raised his head and looked at He Sicheng, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes: "The secret order before, it must be this function, right?"

He Sicheng nodded with satisfaction.

A young staff officer was stunned and asked, "What does this have to do with morale? And why can the previous secret order also have something to do with the battle loss ratio?"

Keynes looked at the immature face, shook his head, and said:

"At first, I thought that His Excellency the General was just a man of politics and scheming, but now, I apologize to you for my ignorance. ”

"General Hakutsuru is your disciple, and you know his character, so you can definitely guess what he will do—even if he disobeys the orders of his superiors, he will not disgrace his soldiers. ”

"Under such circumstances, you deliberately want to issue that secret order, in fact, you are not to reduce the difficulty of the military exercise for me, but to simulate the situation in the north more realistically. ”

"The soldiers of the Ninth Military Region will surely be extremely angry under the dual encouragement of the secret order and General Hakuzuru, and at this time, they are not much different from those rebels. ”

"That's why there is such a battle loss ratio, right? Every pilot of the Ninth Military Region is fighting with his life, and when he is about to be captured, even if he pays for his own 'life', they have to take a mecha from the red camp...... How similar this is to the rebels in the North. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the command room fell silent.

Deep down, they were filled with shock.

Unexpectedly, He Sicheng's secret order that seemed to be full of political stench actually had such intentions hidden behind it.

"I'm giving you a 1.5 to 1 indicator. This is the end result, and if it is not reached, then you are still considered a failure. ”

He Sicheng stood up lightly: "How to fight next, it's up to you." ”

"I've got to see an old friend. ”

"Maybe it's the last time. ”

With that, the old general left the command room quickly, leaving only the staff officers and Keynes to ponder.

......

"It's a lot of losses. ”

In a dense forest on Planet 49, Zhang Daniu shook his head and said: "Although in the first round of attacks, we predicted the enemy's attack in advance, moved the detention place in time, left the artificial planet 46, and entered the natural asteroid 49, but the rest of the comrades lost more than half. This battle is not easy to fight. ”

Needless to say, the rest of the people also felt the pressure of the war.

Although they had not exchanged fire with the Red Army wing so far, they understood what it meant that the blue dots around them were constantly extinguishing.

It's as if a huge net is shrinking.

And they are fish that are still dying, and one day, they will be caught in fishing nets, and they will not escape.

"Zhang Daniu, I've locked you up. ”

"Surrender obediently. We're kind to the captives here, and we've got chocolate and beef jerky. ”

A flirtatious voice reached the ears of the thirteenth squad.

Zhang Daniu's face changed: "It's that dead pervert from the Second Military Region!"

"He actually led the team himself, and he set his sights on us!"

On the tactical map, a mecha regiment of more than a hundred is approaching!
