'It was right not to attack.... Those who play the role of miners underground must also be compatriots, and when added up, this will definitely not be a good bone to gnaw. ’

The squadron leaders who got the news were so glad to think at this time....

In addition, they judged that this should be a key point specially set up by the exercise, otherwise if the stronghold was set up without any purpose and only cared about a strong retreat defense, then there would be no way or need to carry out this reconnaissance mission.

Twenty light points of error, the squadron responsible realized that this was an opportunity .... But time was also quite short, and they had no time to wait for orders from their superiors.

Therefore, several squadron leaders made a decisive decision on the spot - to immediately move on to the next step.

They detained a small half of the convoy escort group and prepared to use it as a 'blackmail' to get the remaining convoy to cooperate with the reconnaissance force's actions.

Exercises, there is intelligence, it means that there may be room for use, this is specifically given information such as [close relationship between members], so it would be stupid not to try....

As it turned out, it was, and after making this request, the captives agreed.

Therefore, through this method, some members of the team mixed into the convoy and some of them got into the cargo box, becoming a 'infiltration decapitation team';

Some of them followed from behind and became the 'receiving group', while others were left to guard the 'hostages' and became the 'hostage group'.

After a brief assignment of tasks, the infiltration team and the receiving team took their positions and began to race against time towards the camp, and arrived at the camp above the resource point within the error range.

The convoy rumbled closer, and the scouts mixed in with the group spotted the sentry trolls and a few wind wolves beside them.

He felt a little nervous, and began to find out if he was well prepared on his side....

Those who had infiltrated themselves had now changed into the clothes of captives;

The part of the teammates in the cargo box not only changed their clothes, but also turned on the totem to hide the smell;

That way, you shouldn't be surprised by these wolves, right?

Thinking of this, the warrior felt more confident.

However, he still lowered his head, used the height difference as a cover, and glared at the not very smart wind wolves in a concealed and fierce manner, making them tighten their tails nervously in an instant.

It's hard to say whether or not the early warning was prepared before, but now..... Looks like he's not going to bark anymore.

All in all, the convoy successfully entered the base with the cooperation of the original team members, and was ready to start packing the prepared 'goods'.

This link involves precious resources, statistics, and at least two managers will be present to supervise each other, which is the information that the squadron has already mastered, and their trip is aimed at these two 'high-level targets' that are scheduled to appear.....

The cargo box was removed from the bucket behind the car, and the soldiers showed as much expression and action as possible in the process, 'This is an empty box';

When they put it on the ground, they deliberately handled it gently, so as not to expose the weight of about a ton of troll belt equipment in each box due to the movement made when it touched the ground.

Fortunately, it seems that the resources removed from the ground will be heavy enough, and the ground has already been flattened and hard, so that the chests do not leave too obvious marks and reduce the probability of detection.

Just as the warriors were 'grinding' and watching their surroundings vaguely, the two apprentices they had listed as 'high-level targets' finally appeared, and they had already walked not too far away from them.....

After grinding for a few more moments, and waiting for them to reach the best range for the assault, the warriors who acted as 'eyes' outside the box immediately issued the agreed code.

As they made a movement, the soldiers in ambush in the cargo box suddenly turned out and cooperated with the former to carry out a surprise attack.

The distance between the two sides is already very close at this time, and their own side has an absolute numerical advantage in the local area;

The apprentices, on the other hand, were not strong warriors who were 'proficient in magic and martial arts' like the witch doctor, and they were immediately controlled by several warriors of this side who had no room for struggle.

Some of the soldiers who lurked in were armed in front of them, and some took out the noose and gave the two apprentices Ma Xi's hands and feet;

"Don't come here! Come here, we'll kill him!" ”

"Let go of Your Excellency! You can't run away! ”

"Hehe~ Then you have to try it!"

Perhaps because of the days of pretending to be true, both sides were a little too deep into the drama at this time, and they really started a rather serious confrontation under the helpless gaze of the two captured apprentices;

One of them is holding the 'hostage' and slowly retreating, while the other side is unwilling to give up step by step.... And when they retreated to the door, the team that answered finally began to move.

At this time, the full-time combat guardians raided the sentry post that was attracted by the internal scene, and after the bewildered wolves also fled far away with their tails between their legs, opening up a clear way for their companions to infiltrate the interior.

"Hurry! Hurry back! ”

After that, the infiltrator swaps places with the receiver, and quickly leaves with the captive and the Windranger Totem in hand;

The full-time combatants also slowly retreated in the tense standoff, trying to break away before more trolls arrived.

Pursuit, hostage-taking, escape, rear-breaking, fighting....

It wasn't until the witch doctor, who couldn't stand it, intervened for the first time in person, that he succeeded in ending this battle, where both sides were fighting with anger and had begun to see blood.

But taking into account the actual situation.....

That is, there are more and more trolls in the camp who have surrounded them, and the group of warriors who have left behind have almost no hope of escaping.....

Therefore, for the sake of fairness, the witch doctor still decided that the side after the break was completely destroyed.

However, the infiltration group, as well as some of the receiving teams that were not assigned the task of breaking the post, managed to escape with the captives....

At this time, in the camp, the only remaining apprentice who played the role of manager shook his head helplessly, and reported what happened here as soon as possible to the superior of the role in the main stronghold....

[The camp was attacked, the purpose was exposed, please instruct.] 】

[Reinforcements will be on the road, accelerate mining, set up ambushes, prepare to evacuate, and guard against the army. 】

[Understood.] 】

~~~~~

The remnants of the operation, while mourning for the 'sacrificed' comrades, pressed the prisoners to their own control area, and obtained a series of key information during the 'interrogation'.

[The purpose of this trip is to obtain some kind of rare resource, the main base is built on a large mine with more than 300 miners for mining, and the previous one is a slightly smaller, but reluctant to give up the sub-mine, with more than 100 miners working inside]

[There are a total of 3 casters sent by the organization, 13 technical managers, up to 800 defenders in the main stronghold, and 150 defenders in the sub-stronghold.] 】

These messages were sent to Cui Wenli as soon as possible, so that she and her subordinates could decide the next course of action.

Cui Wenli, as the highest commander of the army, is always in control of her own 'casualties' figures, and compares them with the many pieces of information she has already received.

In fact, the situation is no longer optimistic, and the 'casualties' of our own elite have in fact reached a point that cannot be ignored.

Of course, she herself knows very well that this is not actually a big loophole in the compilation rules, which is why it led to losses.

The reasons are manifold.....

On the one hand, it is the beginning of the establishment, and the team is not yet accustomed to such an organizational method.

On the other hand, it is also because the training of soldiers and other aspects have not yet reached the standard, which has led to many unnecessary mistakes....

For example, communications groups at all levels, which are vital to intelligence suppression forces, are not strictly military trolls.

This is not to say that they have lost the bravery of a warrior and have degenerated into 'waste trolls' who can only do office work;

But..... The technical profession of the technical arms is specialized in the problem.

These communication units, which were temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Communications of the ruling government, have become accustomed to performing civilian, commercial and political communication tasks in a safe environment;

And the battlefield environment, even if it is only simulated during the exercise, cannot be immediately adapted to through the previous short training.

If you go to the battlefield to kill and fight, they definitely still maintain their blood;

However, in the face of a battlefield communication environment that is far more dense and complex than daily communication, they often have unexpected situations such as overwhelmed, missed hearing, brain 'downtime', and so on.

In this way, it will in fact lead to the negligence of intelligence and the interruption of the ability of command centers at all levels to control the front line.

But.....

After all, this is a situation that even she can think of, and it can be improved through training, and Cui Wenli believes that those witch doctors who are secretly conducting assessments will definitely not ignore it;

Therefore, appropriate adjustments can be made to the weight of the influence of this aspect on the assessment results.....

~~~~

In fact, Nesta and other witch doctors did think about it like her, and they didn't intend to negate the overall effect of the compilation because of this.

Not only Nesta, who had seen from his previous life, but also the other witch doctors realized the advantages of delegating the communication group to the squadron level or even a more basic unit during this confrontation between the two sides;

Moreover, there is a difference between 'professional' and 'non-professional' in this kind of 'distribution group'..... And the gap that this difference can bring is definitely noteworthy.

In their view, this is indeed a fruitful option, especially for the intelligence forces, which can be said to have a lot to offer in this regard.

But if you want to talk about dissatisfaction, in fact, there are also ..... But not in terms of communications, but in terms of those 'combat guards' that are included in the establishment.

After visiting several battles, the witch doctors found that although each of these formations had the name of 'guard';

However, it is clear that they are still more interested in killing than in the required 'protection of the distribution group' duties.

Whenever they encountered an adversary, they instinctively screamed and rushed forward, and several times they managed to get some of the enemy to touch the vicinity of the communication unit, and fought with any of the communication group members who did not have a battle related totem.

It can be said that a significant part of their existential function does fail ...

Although this is also a seconded soldier, in Cui Wenli's plan, even if it is really a wartime, this part of the members will still be temporarily transferred soldiers;

At that point, it is likely that there will still be such a confusion about the distinction between 'guarding' and 'fighting', and there will continue to be cases where the object of protection is left behind and the battle is carried out alone.

The reason why it had to be a 'temporary transfer' and did not choose to establish this unit in the unit was for two reasons;

First, the intelligence suppression unit is a high-equipped formation, and those technical and semi-technical arms generally have higher treatment and rank than the combat arms, and this is a reward for their 'studiousness'.

However, the 'escort units' that exist in the formation are just ordinary combatants.....

Under such circumstances, if the two are mixed for a long time and there is a unilateral demand for protection, Cui Wenli is worried that while stimulating the competitive spirit, there may be comparisons and estrangements between comrades-in-arms, which will affect the overall morale of the troops.

Therefore, she prefers to be transferred to the escort force only during wartime.

Second, the number of trolls in the Republic is limited, and there is naturally a corresponding limit to the reasonable number of standing troops, and it seems to be a reasonable choice for such troops to be reduced to non-essential troops in non-wartime.

For these two reasons, Nesta is actually more recognized, but the situation that occurred during the exercise is real....

How do you weigh the trade-offs? Maybe you can only start from the quality of the officer, it will be the spirit of the soldier .... First of all, let the officers and non-commissioned officers in charge of the escort mission understand how to carry out the escort mission. ’

While Nesta was considering this, the Temporary Brigade was making a relatively difficult choice.

To tell the truth, the reconnaissance mission was carried out to this stage ... In fact, it's pretty much it;

In the future, it will be nothing more than attacking cities and grabbing land, and fighting in battle formations, which should be the tasks that other troops should perform.

But.... If the reconnaissance force can do all this on their own, then who would be willing to give up the credit of being fed to the mouth?

Therefore, although it was an exercise, a considerable number of officers at this time still believed that they should try to infiltrate or even attack the enemy's strongholds.

Maybe the big one can't bite it, but what about the small one?

If you concentrate all your forces on the attack, you should be able to gnaw it down, right? Isn't this a credit and a reflection of the combat power of the troops?

Fortunately, Cui Wenli herself, as well as some relatively sober officers and non-commissioned officers, still have a steady heart at this time....

In the end, the decision was made to report all the information at this stage and apply for support from combat units.

And at this time, the opposing side of the exercise also reacted to the previous actions of the temporary brigade;

After receiving the news from the camp, the leader of the opposing side sent a spellcaster and 300 heavily armed warriors from the main stronghold to the stronghold, preparing to strengthen the defenses there and set up an ambush for a possible attack.

This part of the force, together with the original garrison of the camp and the laborers in the mines, was already quite strong;

If Cui Wenli and the others were blinded by the credit and really gathered their forces to attack..... It may be a painful defeat as the last gift before the official establishment of the intelligence suppression force.

If this comes true, then the experience of this defeat may become a permanent memory, and it will always be a reminder for this new unit in the days to come.

However, when Nesta intercepted the message sent by the Provisional Brigade to the Military Command Division and deciphered it into text, he knew that this would not happen.

Because, with Cui Wenli's decision, this exercise, which started from the preparation period and took four months before and after, is about to enter the final period.

~~~~

[Note, the following is the exercise (identification code), you have received information, (identification code) headquarters is about to dispatch combat troops to annihilation. -- Military W Fork Fork Command (Identification Code) • Military W Command Division Fork Fork and Fork Communication Transmission (Identification Code)]

In the temporary command center of the brigade, Cui Wenli finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the authenticity of this communication information.... Although it is not yet known what the outcome of the assessment will be, it is almost time for the exercise to come to an end.

From the beginning of the reorganization, to the initial results, to the preparation period of the exercise, and finally to today, this is definitely the hardest and most exhausting period of her troll life, and all kinds of mental and physical efforts during this period can never be explained clearly in three or two sentences.

And in a few days, it seems that all this will come to an end.

'Retired from active duty... Seems to be a good result as well....'

The phrase that had been tugging at her heartstrings all along, didn't look so ugly now.

After all kinds of thoughts passed in her mind, she patted her cheeks, woke up slightly, and opened her mouth to order,

"Notify the detachments and squadrons to arrange surveillance defense areas, and the headquarters will soon send combat troops to encircle and suppress them;"

"And before that, what we have to do is to prevent the enemy from breaking his tail to survive, so that each surveillance group must stand on this last shift!"

"Understood!"

After the herald went out, several officers talked with some trepidation....

"Whew.... You say, can we pass the acceptance this time? ”

"I think it's okay~ everyone is doing a good job."

"However, the casualty data on paper is a bit ugly, could it be because of this...."

"The casualties are a bit big... But after all, there are extenuating circumstances and room for improvement, and there should be no problem. ”

"This is the army! Be disciplined and patiently wait for the peak notification. ”

Cui Wenli's scolding was the end of the discussion, and several trolls shrunk their necks, and then buried their heads in the table, not knowing whether it was true or not.

~~~~

Just as Cui Wenli guarded against, the opponent really made a move to evacuate in this final stage.....

Fortunately, the various reconnaissance teams below did not relax their vigilance, and whether they chose to evacuate as a whole or retreat in groups, their movements were always under their own surveillance.

The Temporary Brigade did not choose to attack blindly, and the various teams followed day and night, making 'grasping the movement' the first priority at this stage, and did not let the enemy out of the grasp of this side until the attacking troops came to help.

And when the symbolic attacking force arrived, the exercise was finally over after a handover of tasks that had begun and finished;

As a result, Nesta didn't buy anything, and informed the conclusion that he had already made a judgment on the spot:

The intelligence suppression force passed the acceptance of the military w, and the establishment was officially finalized.

This could mean a different outcome for each individual involved in the matter..... However, the end of the present is not exactly the end, but also the beginning of a new journey....

~~~~

After all the participants returned one after another, it was time to summarize the results before and after the preparation of the program;

Whether it is a reward or a punishment, the Republic will give each individual the evaluation he deserves.

After some consultations, the military and parliament first believed that-

The formation of intelligence units and the establishment of their tactics and establishment will have a benign impact on the future war situation that cannot be ignored.

As a result, this achievement will be assessed as: key strategic achievements in the military aspects of the Republic (three categories);

The chief officer, Cui Wenli, is believed to have played an extremely key role in the process before and after the establishment of the establishment (level 3).

For this purpose, the Republic will award her the 'Order of Steel and Wood of the Fifth Class' in recognition of her sacrifice and outstanding contribution to the progress of the race and the prosperity of the country.

In addition to Cui Wenli, who is the chief officer, there are also some officers and non-commissioned officers who have also made important contributions in the army building stage, and they have also received meritorious commendations, material rewards, and salary promotions corresponding to their contributions.

In addition, in this exercise, the most outstanding part of the junior officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, such as Kunates....

They were also awarded the 'Order of Dedication of the Eighth Class' for their seriousness in the exercise and their contribution to the smooth progress of the acceptance operation.

The grand award ceremony will be held at the headquarters, and the content of the commendation will be sent to the bases and sub-bases outside the country at the same time, so that all the people of the Republic can be the first to know about the birth of the new Honorable One.

After the ceremony, the convention gradually turned into a grand ceremony, bringing an atmosphere to the little entertainment of the Black Forest, and allowing the trolls to party for a while.

After that, all the official members of the military W (four) met with Cui Wenli in the general office.....

After a conversation, she unsurprisingly withdrew from active duty with a medal and became a 'reserve colonel', and when faced with the future of non-active duty such as teaching and political positions, Cui Wenli chose to rest for the time being.

She said that she wanted to visit the various stations in the Black Forest, as well as the hornhoe settlements outside the northern fortress and the northeastern wilderness area, to see the world outside of the headquarters.

In this regard, the military w will naturally not stop it, the imprint she left on the first brigade is too deep, and it is not a good thing to leave the headquarters temporarily at this time.

Cui Wenli's departure did not have any irreparable impact on the subsequent establishment of the second and third brigades of the intelligence force.

After a small number of backbone personnel were separated from the first brigade, supplemented by a number of officers and noncommissioned officers transferred from other units and military academies, and a number of backbone reconnaissance troops from the grassroots units, the remaining two brigades began the road of reorganization in an orderly and unhurried manner.

And in the military academy, there are already many students at this time;

Some of them were entered by privates through decorations;

Others are the new generation of trolls who have been selected at the tertiary level and passed the relevant assessments.

Whether it is the former or the latter, in the course of daily education and practice, there will always be suitable talents, and then they will be filled in and little by little to wear away the imprint of belonging to a certain individual in the army.

~~~~

For the militiamen who were specially deployed for the acceptance operation, the previous experience was also a drill against them;

Among them, there is experience to be obtained, there are more subsidies to obtain, and when you go back, you can brag in the station, saying that you have fought with the regular army in the dark or something.... So, why not?

Therefore, there was no chaos about their dismissal, and these militia backbones from various garrisons will apply this experience to patrolling the place after they go back, and continue to fight with the monsters on the mountain.

And the dozen apprentices were also dismissed and returned to their posts, for them, this operation.... em... It's a serious experience of military life, and it may be useful in the future.

As for those two mines, they really weren't forged for the sake of drills...

As it has been said before, the ancestral trolls in the Black Forest often use soft metals that can be pinched and rounded with their fingers to collect as trophies.

Although, because it was temporarily useless to the Horde, it was not taken seriously on the Nesta side;

But before, the metal-related knowledge harvested in the hornhoof tribe made this somewhat distant memory come back to the front of the stage again.

In that knowledge, a class of substances collectively referred to as 'precious metals' in the Northland is clearly documented, and its properties seem to be somewhat similar to those of the tribal period.

And this type of metal, as it is collectively called, has a rather special equivalent treatment in the Northlands, which can be exchanged for goods far beyond their actual use value.

This is not incomprehensible to trolls who are accustomed to trading with 'coins'....

Therefore, on the one hand, it is to plan ahead;

On the other hand, it is also to accumulate experience in metals.

The newly established metal research institute dug out the inheritance materials belonging to the former and modern tooth divisions or the rest of the previous departments from the pile of old papers, and began to search for information on suspected ore veins.

It just so happened that most of the witch doctors of the tribes that once existed were in the headquarters at this time;

Therefore, the Metal Research Institute searched through the piles of old papers and asked these witch doctors, and finally they really got the information that seemed to be related.

After dispatching personnel and conducting preliminary confirmation based on the experience obtained from the horned hoof, the research institute has roughly determined at least a few of them, which seem to be real but are actually true.

Then, according to the topography and other factors, the experimental mining was carried out in the order of difficulty;

Eventually, they were able to obtain the first physical mining from the Republic itself in the two places where the exercises had been carried out, and with the permission of the Parliament, two long-term mining sites were set up in that place, not far apart.

Since then, the corresponding mining work has been carried out after the mobilization of manpower, grain and grass support, etc., and the stumbling has begun....

However, the vein does not seem to be a rich mine, and the institute itself is not sufficiently experienced, even extremely naïve, so the mining work at this stage is quite inefficient.

For this reason, the council has instructed the hornhoe to send relevant members of the clans that have been mining as soon as possible.

Of course, in the short term, I don't expect the Metal Research Institute to come up with any decent results, so it should be the first step to accumulate experience for the mining of its veins in the future.

Although it is uncertain whether this experience can be interconnected, in terms of the performance in the records of the horned hoof, at least the opening of the mountain seems to make no difference.

In addition, the search for other veins is of course underway, but due to the Republic's 'manpower' constraints, progress in this area has not been rapid.

On the research institute's side, in order to involve more trolls on a larger scale, they also specially printed a booklet on the external characteristics of various ore veins, and then distributed them to the production teams in each station;

Ask them to help find them in addition to production activities or when they are on patrol.

Considering the vast size of the Black Forest, the Institute is looking forward to discovering more veins of different types in various places to enrich their sample pool;

At this time, the apprentices of the research institute were like Wangfu stones, waiting day and night for possible feedback from each station.

For this, Nesta is actually quite looking forward to it, he estimated the area of this Hesse, and calculated the sum of east, west, north and south, which can roughly have the same size as a Russian Rakshasa country in the previous life.

Perhaps, there are really a lot of ore vein resources preserved, but unfortunately there is no good reply for the time being....

Of course, there is no space at the institute, and some research has already been done;

For example, the investigation of the melting point, hardness, ductility, etc., has already been carried out using the samples that already existed, as well as the parts that were sent from the two new ore sites one after another.

Part of the difficulty of this kind of research lies not in the operation, but in the digitization of the conclusions obtained;

For example, how to take the temperature of the melting point, and how to divide the hardness and ductility....

Therefore, the significance of these studies may not stop at the goal of the project itself;

In the process of its realization, the confirmation and application expansion of these values may be the most anticipated results at this stage.

For example, if the temperature can be quantified, it will not only help to determine the cold and heat of the area, but also lead to a series of advances in botany and embryology.

This is undoubtedly something to be expected and treated seriously.

Because of this, Nesta and other witch doctors have given countless 'green lights' to this seemingly inconspicuous and temporarily useless precious metal project;

All the support it needs, such as money, manpower, spells, etc., as long as the apprentices at the institute ask for it, there must be a witch doctor, even if they are busy, they will come to support.
