Chapter 124 Mech Selection 1
() I had a very pleasant time during the holidays, even more pleasant than in college. At least I didn’t have to do all kinds of troublesome summer internships, or leave my resume everywhere like a small advertisement, and go to bed early and stay late every day.
From now on, apart from running and practicing kicking skills a few times every day, I just talk nonsense with people on the forum. After talking, I play games. After finishing the game, I change to a new one. When I get tired of watching two-dimensional movies, I change to summer blockbusters. I feel more
The gods still have a little leisure time.
The decadent life lasted until the third Monday of the summer vacation. At that time, I was scolding a middle-aged and middle-aged teenager on the Internet when my mother suddenly barged in with a bundle of celery.
"Stop playing. If someone is looking for you, get up right away!"
I'm confused, saying that last time my third uncle, whom I haven't seen for more than 20 years, came to visit you, you weren't that excited. What happened today? I took the wrong medicine or had a bad stomach.
"Shit, can your third uncle compare with her?" My mother waved the celery in her hand widely, and the high-speed centrifugal water droplets swung at my face, "Girl, the super cute girl is waiting outside!
"
I wiped my face inexplicably, walked to the window sill and looked down, and then I saw a military jeep parked there, and Tang Yue, wearing a lieutenant uniform, was standing beside the jeep, like a quietly blooming flower, noticing
When I looked at her, she raised her head and smiled sheepishly at me.
"Hey, I said you have been hanging out in school for more than ten years, and you haven't even seen a middle-aged man come to your door. What has happened in the past six months? Not only are the senior officials running to our house one by one, but there are also girls who are cheating on you.
"
My mother had a look of emotion on her face, but I told her solemnly: You think too much, dear.
After saying hello, I put on my training uniform and ran out. Although I had the rank of second lieutenant, I couldn’t hang it out before I determined my military service, because there was no space reserved for hanging my military rank on the training uniform. The design
I didn't even think about matching it with the military rank. I couldn't just use 505 glue to stick it on.
"What's going on?"
I asked as I got into the jeep.
Tang Yue was in the passenger seat, using her white fingers to quickly pull up a file on the PCP, and then handed it to me.
"Our army's latest tri-service mecha selection plan, but due to the lack of professional personnel, we decided to temporarily invite members of your teaching team to attend the selection seminar."
I said "Oh" and concentrated on reading the materials without thinking, but wait, there seems to be something wrong with what I said...
Three seconds later I screamed:
"Wait a minute, isn't the Republic of China developing mechas independently? Why is it starting to outsource it? Don't they want domestically produced products?!"
"No, it's just that the self-produced models are still in test flight status, and there is still quite some time before they are finalized. However, in order to cope with... emergency situations, our army decided to temporarily purchase thirty mechas for emergency use."
Tang Yue explained that although she chose words as carefully as possible, after fighting on the battlefield for more than half a year, my intuition about crises has been dozens of times sharper than normal people, and I still heard the heavy words.
Ominous.
"Did the Satsuma army start to move again?"
Tang Yue's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and her face darkened a little bit. She seemed to want to deny it, but in the end she nodded helplessly.
I think my expression must not look good either. The Satsuma Army, which is less than two thousand nautical miles away from the territory of the Republic, has been the most vicious opponent of the Republic since the old century. They are a group of brave and aggressive short men with powerful weapons.
The navy and technical equipment publicly declared that the Eastern Pacific Ocean was their moat, and the Republic Army, which also had considerable strength, became their number one opponent that was quick to eliminate. In order to compete for sea control in the Eastern Pacific, the Satsuma Army took the lead in attacking, and the Republic Army
* Responded in a hurry. The battle lasted for more than half a century, and there were countless extremely brutal battles. Both sides used all weapons except nuclear bombs. The fighting area spread across the entire Pacific Ocean. The number of casualties cannot be accurately counted until now.
However, since the end of the last war, the ships of the Republic of China Navy have been short of 30% to 40% for a long time. The reason is that a large number of qualified sailors have been killed, not only the front-line troops, but also even
All students from the reserve force and military schools also went to the battlefield, and less than 50% of the survivors survived the brutal high-intensity battle. As for the Satsuma Army, the situation was even more tragic-their navy only had a few remaining members for a long time.
A small gunboat like a fishing boat was wandering on the beach, not even daring to hang out its flag.
Eastern culture advocates tolerance and generosity, but since the end of the old century, there has been a prerequisite for all this - except for the Satsuma people.
Because of this battle, ** and ** have lost too many loyal guards.
I don’t have much fondness for this legion, and it can be said that I hate it extremely, because strictly speaking, the first enemies the entire teaching regiment encountered were the Satsuma army’s spy mechas, which almost killed us in the middle of the war.
On the way, they lived in iron coffins.
"Did you read the news? About last month's conflict on the high seas."
I went through the intelligence in my mind. It was big news, and there was a lot of quarrels in various military forums. But I was busy preparing for the exam at the time, so I didn’t know much about it. It probably meant that a major war broke out between the Republic of Korea Army and the Satsuma Army on the high seas.
A large-scale armed conflict. An old destroyer and two old frigates of the Republic were damaged, with more than ten casualties. That's basically it.
After I told this information, Tang Yue showed a bitter smile on his face:
"The time and place are roughly correct, but there is one thing that is completely wrong."
"Which way?"
"The number of casualties, in fact, both the destroyer and the frigate were sunk, with hundreds of casualties, and a newly launched two-thousand-ton and five-hundred-ton offshore combat ship was also lost."
I almost burst out. Destroyers and frigates don't matter. After all, they are all old-century ship types that are about to be eliminated. But I remember that only four littoral combat ships were launched in the entire Republic, and the stronger heavy-duty ships were launched.
and ocean-going combat ships are still being modified on the design drawings.
Fortunately, I am a consequentialist person. I really want to know how much blood was shed on the Satsuma Army despite so many casualties.
Tang Yue shook her head:
"Don't look at me like that, no."
"No? What the hell is no?"
"No means nothing. Nothing was destroyed, nothing was sunk. It's hard to say whether there were any casualties."
"...What the hell is going on."
"Because our military uses naval guns and missiles, while Satsuma's military uses mechas, and that's it."
If it weren't for the limited height of the carriage, I would almost jump up.
This is so fucking nonsense. Even if the air defense system on an old battleship cannot deal with mechas, the offshore combat ships that cost hundreds of millions to build are good-looking and useful, but they sank to the bottom without even being able to shoot down one of them.
"The key is that our army only has fighter jets."
Tang Yue was very smart and guessed what I was thinking in an instant, and replied with a wry smile.
I'm mute. I've been in the treaty army for so long that I almost forgot about the situation of my own country's army. The combat power of an unequipped offshore fighter is about the same as that of an old-fashioned large frigate.
Taking into account that the area where the teaching team members are located is quite far from the headquarters, the meeting location was specially chosen to be held in the military division of this province. The generals condescended to go south together on a business trip. This also shows the degree to which we seed mecha soldiers are valued. The only trouble is
What's surprising is that these generals, lieutenants, and the hundreds of guardsmen they led crowded the small military subdivision compound to the point where not a single mouse could escape.
Originally there was a lot of response on this territory, but the majestic colonel commander had to lead his men at the gate to maintain order dejectedly. It felt quite miserable. Seeing that I had a company rank and no training soldiers to sneak in to make soy sauce. This eldest brother at that time
It was so red that it was burnt inside and tender outside.
Tieniu, Datou and the others had already been pulled over, and we joked a few times as usual. At this time, a man came over and came up to say hello to us.
"Oh, you are quite energetic."
I felt that this person was a bit familiar, so after thinking about it, I suddenly called out:
"Lieutenant General Lin!"
Of course I remember Lin Haocheng, the Vice Minister of the Navy who first came to recruit me, but I remember that he was only forty years old at the time, and we had only seen him for a few months, but he looked like an old man in his sixties, almost
Unrecognizable.
"Haha, it seems that my memory is not bad..."
A smile appeared on Lin Haocheng's slightly old face. We quickly stood up and saluted, but he waved his hands as if he was tired. At this time, a nervous military serviceman ran over, stood at attention and saluted:
"Minister Lin, your seat is over there. This is where the teaching team is seated."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just chatting with them."
Lin Haocheng waved his hand and asked him to do other things.
"Minister? Oh, congratulations on your promotion."
I said.
"It's just temporary support for the old horse. After losing the naval battle on the high seas, a lot of people were fired from their jobs. I'm probably the only beneficiary, haha."
Lin Haocheng smiled bitterly, as if he had choked a green persimmon in his throat. There was bitterness, sadness and anger in his voice. We couldn't help but put away our indifferent emotions and face the interim minister who was under heavy pressure.
"Okay, don't be so serious, just express your opinions correctly later."
After Lin Haocheng finished speaking, he left. I saw that his originally strong back was hunched over like a mountain. The shadow of the entire navy's failure made the new minister almost breathless.
We were so sad to see it.
"Well, actually, it's really boring to have too big an official position."
Tieniu expressed emotion on our behalf.
Before we could recover from this touching scene, someone else spoke next to us:
"Alas, in fact, Lao Ma was unjustly accused. The navy's military expenditure has never been enough, so it can only repair old warships. Before the war, Lao Ma sent several reports to the higher authorities asking for the construction of new ships, but the answer was all old ships.
After the upgrade, it can still maintain considerable combat effectiveness and does not need to be replaced. Come on, it’s because the navy is too expensive. As a result, it will die in one hit, but there is no way, who calls him the person in charge? "
I turned around and saw that it was my old acquaintance, Lieutenant General Li Zhenbei, Deputy Minister of the Air Force. We were unlucky now. We hadn't even gotten on the bench yet, so we had to jump up again and stand at attention to salute.
"Okay, okay, Lao Lin doesn't need it, so I won't need it, so you don't have to scold me for being a bitch and looking down on others."
"...Damn, did we say that?"
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. The meeting is about to start."
Li Zhenbei suddenly sat upright, and then made a quiet gesture to us. At this time, the surroundings had become silent for an instant. It was so quiet that even a pin dropped on the ground could make a tinkling. We quickly held our breath.
Look up at the top position.
The Minister of Defense, General Chen Tianmin, appeared, followed by... Edith.
Chapter completed!
