Xi Qing had never imagined that he would one day be the commander of over 600 men. After the initial excitement, he realized how difficult it was to be qualified for this job. For the first few days, he was so busy that he could hardly breathe. His spirit was like a taut string, and he dared not let his guard down. Now, he was able to take on this role with ease.
Every commander above the rank of team leader would receive a detailed guide on how to lead a battle.
Young men always had the blood of heroes flowing in their veins, and Xi Qing was no exception. He eagerly read all the relevant information. Not just him, but everyone else did the same. They were all newbies, newbies that could not be more newbies. However, no one gave up. No one relaxed. Everyone fought with their lives on the line.
It was not just about glory, it was about dreams, it was about survival!
Five men to a squad, five squads to a group, five groups to a battalion, and five battalions to a regiment. Xi Qing was one of the two regiment commanders. The other was Xiu.
In the beginning, many people were not happy with Xi Qing. To them, it was a joke for a young man to be their regiment commander. Indeed, they had never heard of a brat who was still wet behind the ears managing more than six hundred people.
However, communication between mech pilots was simple and direct. When Xi Qing led his squad to defeat 30 mechs with 5 mechs, no one had any objections. It was as if they had the same chemistry. Xiu used the same tactics, but he was more ruthless. He knocked out more than 10 people.
This was only the first step. Both of them knew that there were many people waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The next training mission was the most important. How to teach these newbies how to work together in the shortest time possible was what they needed to do. Xi Qing then realized that being a general was not easy, even though he was not that close to being a general. Even though the instructor had given them a set of standard training methods, there was still a lot of tedious work to be done.
Training with over 600 men had almost worn him out, but it was just a little! Both Xi Qing and Xiu were very determined. They understood how rare this opportunity was. In another place, under different circumstances, young men like them would have no choice but to be foot soldiers. But now, they were regimental commanders with hundreds of subordinates. Their starting point was much higher than their peers.
Both of them worked tirelessly to train the mech pilots under them. Every night, the two of them would gather together to talk. If they encountered a problem that they could not solve, they would ask their instructors.
The instructor's answers always made them feel enlightened, which made them even more curious about the instructor's background. In their opinion, the instructor must have experience in commanding large scale battles. Other than some generals in the Research Consortium's military system, only the leaders of some large mech squads had experience in this field. And the instructor's way of doing things was obviously very standard military management. In the Gray Valley, the only force that could do this was the Research Consortium.
However, the instructor never admitted this.
Although the two of them were curious, they couldn't get an answer from the instructor. Their time was very tight, and they could not afford to waste too much time on this kind of issue that did not affect the overall situation.
Ye Chong was very satisfied with Xi Qing and Xiu. It was not easy for two newbies to achieve this. Both of them had a high level of comprehension and were able to deduce many things from one instance. For example, the training program, the two of them gathered their subordinates to brainstorm, and came up with many new ideas. The two of them even intentionally introduced a competitive system. The newbies were highly motivated, training hard every day, and improved rapidly.
In fact, Ye Chong's contribution was pitifully small. The one who played the key role was Shang. All the systems and training programs were handled by Shang. Even the manuals that Xi Qing and Xiu had were provided by Shang.
Ye Chong's contributions were few and far between, and most of them were violent incidents. For example, he forced a starship to redistribute its resources. However, most of them did not require his presence.
Haskel was rumored to be an arms dealer's starship in the fleet, but Ye Chong did not expect there to be a transport ship full of arms in the fleet.
The owner of the transport ship, Flame, was a second-rate arms dealer named Wu Guang. Wu Guang saw the intense battle at the frontline, and guessed that close range mechs would be a big market, so he gritted his teeth and gathered all his funds to buy close range mechs. Right after the purchase, he hurried to the frontline with the 2000 close range mechs he bought.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky. Before he reached the frontline, he received news of the defeat at the frontline. This time, not only did he lose everything, he might even lose his life. He even wanted to die. However, his life was more important, so he fled.
While fleeing for his life, he happened to encounter this strange fleet, so Wu Guang quietly blended into it.
Along the way, the Haskel killed all the red-tailed beasts it came across. It was a formidable force to be reckoned with. He had been thankful for his good luck, but he did not expect to receive a request from Haskel to "contribute" all his close combat mechs to the mission.
He was negotiating with an expert! He was the most difficult negotiator he had ever met. He could not move at all. Every word of the other party rendered him speechless. In the end, he could only submit all his mechs with both hands. He believed that if this expert negotiator was a businessman, he would be the best! His only regret was that he could not see this expert in person.
The 2000 close range mechs were quickly distributed. The "Fighter" model was not too advanced, but it was the only choice they had. With the close range mechs, the mech pilots could train faster.
Suddenly, Ye Chong realized that he had nothing to do. He did not have to manage the training. Xi Qing and Shu were training the mechs in silence. The whole starship was filled with the sounds of fighting every day.
What he did not expect was that Xi Qing and Shu were even more ruthless than he was, training without a care for the casualties. On a day, there were 35 people injured and unconscious.
The other occupations, like the young man with mechanical foundation, were assigned to the maintenance technicians as assistants. Now, every maintenance technician had at least two assistants. Just like what Shang said, there were many hidden talents among them. Surprisingly, there was a Master Mechanic and 30 Advanced Mechanics among them. This lineup was even more luxurious than the one on the Haskel.
Ye Chong was not used to the sudden idleness.
"Watch closely. This pressure valve is the most important part of the entire structure. It will determine the effectiveness of the mechanism." Master Harel adjusted the pressure valve in his hands as he explained the function of each part. Around him were twelve youths, each of them listening attentively. Yang Ming was one of the twelve people.
Master Harel had a head full of white hair, but his face was as healthy as a child's. He had been working with machines for a long time, so his body was strong and muscular. His voice was loud and clear, full of energy. As one of the famous masters in Gray Valley, he kept a low profile. He had always refused to work for any force. He only stayed at home and focused on his research.
However, he was a reasonable man. At times like this, every bit of strength was precious. Even if it was for himself, he should stand up for himself. Hence, he stepped up and became the chief engineer of the entire fleet's modification. Inspired by Haskel, he came up with a new modification plan.
His modification plan was the same as Haskel's, except for the addition of some lethal mechanical devices. In his plan, the reinforced passageway would be narrower, and the passageway would be filled with all kinds of lethal mechanical devices, using energy cells as bait. The entire passageway would be like a trap with bait. This way, the normal starships would be able to defend themselves.
However, it was also a problem to make these mechanical devices kill the red-tailed beasts with their strong defenses.
Master Harel and the advanced level mechanics racked their brains and finally came up with a plan. Ye Chong had contributed a lot in this, since he was quite knowledgeable in the field of ancient machinery.
This was Ye Chong's greatest contribution during this period of time.
"Ye, let's play a game." Shang suddenly made a ridiculous suggestion.
"Game?" Ye Chong was confused. Ever since he was young, he had been working hard to improve himself. The word "game" was too foreign to him, too extravagant.
Shang knew how to pique Ye Chong's interest. "Hehe, let's play a game that can strengthen you. Hmm, you can think of it as a training. "
"Oh, okay." Ye Chong's answer made Shang overjoyed.
Ye Chong was wearing the virtual reality helmet that Shang got from somewhere. Before him was the endless starry sky.
"Hehe, Ye, I'm here." Shang's voice was filled with excitement.
To Ye Chong's surprise, another cold voice rang out, "Ye, I'm here too."
"Mu!" Ye Chong was shocked. Why was Mu here?
"Hehe, Ye, it took me a lot of effort to convince Mu to join. Haha, with Mu here, this game will be fun … "Shang was proud of himself. It was a difficult task to persuade Mu to join. Just then, Mu's cold voice interrupted Shang's bragging, "I will start explaining the rules of the game."
Ye Chong focused his attention. He knew that if Mu was interested in playing the game, then …
He was looking forward to it!
