The federation attached great importance to the military officer training this time. Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much effort and used the few crystal mines in the first place to transfer the troops to participate in the battle from afar so that the military officer students could use them as chess pieces. These officer cadets were, in a sense, the future of the Federal Army, but who could say for sure what would happen in the future? Perhaps they would fall in space before they became generals, or perhaps they would be mediocre on the battlefield in the future. Thus, although the military placed great importance on this, they were careful not to make too much of a spectacle. Today, the highest-ranking general who had personally come to watch the graduation drill was only Deputy Commander Yi of the 1st Military Region.
Who would have thought that the Defence Minister and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, these two top brass of the military, would quietly come to the base several hours after the drill had ended? What were they doing here?
Seeing Minister Zou and General Miles being accompanied by a group of officers, everyone present could not help but feel shocked and confused, countless thoughts running through their minds.
This was especially so for Division Commander Du Shaoqing, who had been preparing to leave. His grip on his gloves and sunglasses tightened subconsciously, and his sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly. The arrival of two military bigwigs made him feel confused, especially General Miles' words earlier, which made the veins on his forehead pop out and disappear. Let his own personal guard battalion play a game with Xu Le? Try breaking through a battalion?
The cold and proud Du Shaoqing felt that he and the 7th Division were being disrespected, and many feelings of displeasure welled up in his heart. However, the other party was the highest-ranking general of the Federal military, so he silently saluted and then stood to one side, not saying anything.
"Of course, Du Shaoqing, you can't do it yourself. If you personally command that special attack personal guard battalion of yours, that would be bullying," said General Miles as he looked at Du Shaoqing.
Hearing this, Du Shaoqing's expression cleared slightly, and his mood improved slightly. He was indeed somewhat curious about this legendary mecha expert Xu Le. Although he had seen the recording of Xu Le's battle, he had never seen him up close. Especially after seeing Xu Le's tough attitude earlier, his mood had already darkened to the extreme. Now that there was such a chance, he could try to beat this person up a little and use iron-blooded facts to educate this person. This was very rare...
After a moment of silent consideration, Du Shaoqing said in a low voice, "Ximen, fight well. Don't embarrass the 7th Division."
Behind him, the eyes of Ximen Jin, a bright light flashed through his eyes. He saluted and loudly said, "I promise to complete the mission."
Admiral Myers nodded. The military had a deeper level of consideration for this military exercise, which was why he and Zou Yingxing had suddenly come to the base after the military exercise. However, even if it was to achieve that strategic objective, they could not let Du Shaoqing personally command. As the Federation's most promising major general, using him to spar with these cadets was really like using the main cannon of a battleship to fight mecha. It was a bit of a mountain out of a molehill, and it was also a form of disrespect to Division Commander Du Shaoqing.
Defence Minister Zou Yingxing stood calmly beside General Miles, not saying a word. From the moment he had appeared, Xu Le had been staring at him. Thinking about how he had forced Du Shaoqing to the point where he could not flip out, he could not help but feel that life was really strange. Just as he was thinking of taking the blame for his father-in-law, this person really came to take the blame for him.
Thinking too much, Xu Le only came back to his senses when he heard Ximen Jin promise to complete the mission. His lips parted slightly, and his eyes subconsciously narrowed — from the beginning until now, it seemed like no one had asked for his opinion. It should be known that if such a small scale military exercise was really designed, the person who would be piloting the MX to attack the opposing division would be him. However, even Du Shaoqing had no choice but to temporarily restrain his coldness and arrogance in front of the Federal military's will. How could he object?
…
…
With just one sentence from General Miles, the base, which had already become quiet, began to bustle again. The staff officers of the 1st Military Region's staff officer unit once again returned to the military exercise command hall and began to design and adjust the military exercise data model. They were so busy that they did not even have time to eat dinner. As these staff officers designed the military exercise plan, they also felt that it was hilarious and ridiculous. Using eight MX mechas to attack an entire battalion. With this sort of power difference, no matter how perfect the military exercise command center's plan was, it would not be able to achieve a complete balance.
Most of the participating troops had already left the base on military aircraft. The main forces of the Iron Seven Division had already embarked on their journey back to System S3. In today's military exercise, the MX mecha had already demonstrated their formidable combat prowess. If this had been a normal military exercise, the staff officers might have really believed that these eight MX mecha would be able to take down an entire battalion's defensive line.
But the problem was that the last battalion left in the base was the Iron Seven Division's most ferocious all-mecha defense battalion. All the officers of the Federation knew that the strength of the Iron Seven Division was mainly due to Division Commander Shaoqing, followed by a group of outstanding officers led by Ximen Jin, and the most ferocious of all was the all-mecha defense battalion. In many military exercises in the past, the Iron Seven Division had never mobilized the defense battalion by the division commander's side. Once this battalion was mobilized, it meant that the other side had indeed performed extremely well. But at the same time … the military exercise was about to end.
The Iron Seven Division's defense battalion was nominally an entire battalion, but in reality, if you included the mechanical repair company and the individual logistics system, this battalion was extremely overstaffed. When these military staff officers had nothing to do, they had done some calculations on their combat power. If the Iron Seven Division's defense battalion was fully mobilized, they would actually have the combat power of an independent regiment.
The time for this sudden small-scale military exercise was set for the next morning. However, the military staff officers busied themselves for half the night and still couldn't come up with a plan for the military exercise. This was because in the past military exercises, there had never been such a strange design.
After a long time of frustration, the staff officers of the military exercise command center decided to revise the original plan. After consulting with their superiors, they added in a data simulation. With the help of the Federal Central Computer, they designed their own virtual military force. Only then did they barely manage to pass the military exercise plan. One side of the military exercise was the Iron Seven Division's defense battalion and a virtual support team. The other side was the virtual battalion commanded by the officer cadets and the eight MX mechas led by Xu Le.
While the staff officers were busy, Xu Le and the officer cadets were eating dinner in the cafeteria of the base. After the sudden confrontation in the afternoon, the members of Team Seven, who called themselves the 17 mechanics, had already shed their initial suspicion and uneasiness towards Xu Le. Under the lead of Xiong Linquan, they clamored and yelled as they sat at his table. As for the other officer cadets, their impression of Instructor Xiao Xu had also undergone a fundamental change. They all sat at the table beside him with smiles on their faces.
Thus, the scene in the cafeteria was very interesting. With Xu Le's table as the center, 50 to 60 soldiers sat neatly in a circle.
Although everyone had smiles on their faces, those smiles were actually very forced. Tomorrow morning, these officer cadets would once again walk onto the simulated battlefield of the military exercise, and Xu Le would have to lead the eight MX mechas to complete that seemingly impossible mission.
"Today, the military transferred three mechanics over. Although the two reserve divisions are only used to set up the simulated battlefield and exert pressure, they can't be deployed to the Lonely Mountain area. But after all, we are commanding three divisions. If we lost so badly against the Iron Seven Division, I have even less confidence in commanding tomorrow morning. "
Zhou Yu put down the utensils in his hands and said with a complicated expression, "Commander Du's tactical deduction has no loopholes. Although Ximen Jin will be commanding tomorrow, in reality, the Iron Seven Division is still his division regardless of whether he is there or not … I can't find any loopholes in their plan. As for the surprise attack by the MX mechas, if it was a true surprise attack, perhaps there would be some chance of success. But this impromptu military exercise has already clearly indicated that you are going to launch a surprise attack, so the other side will definitely be prepared to deal with it … There is no way we can succeed in this kind of ridiculous military exercise. "
Xu Le lowered his head and ate silently, not saying a word. He could feel the atmosphere in the cafeteria. The officer cadets had never had the experience of commanding a large unit by themselves, especially freshly graduated students like Zhou Yu. No matter how talented he was, the gap between him and Instructor Du Shaoqing could not be closed. At this time, everyone no longer had much confidence in themselves …
After General Miles somewhat unreasonably confirmed the impromptu military exercise, Xu Le noticed that Du Shaoqing was looking at him coldly. With his ability to judge people's hearts, he actually felt a trace of murderous intent. The burning zhenqi in his body immediately began to circulate, becoming extremely sensitive.
Xu Le's mood was somewhat gloomy and slightly angry. Although Du Shaoqing had not been able to fly into a rage today, which had caused him to lose face, and because of Park Ji Ho and other matters, it was difficult for him to coexist peacefully with the Iron Seven Division. But the other party had actually wanted to kill him. This made him feel incomprehensible and uneasy.
Just as he was about to comfort the student who was forcing a smile, he saw Secretary Jiao walk in and use his eyes to signal for him to follow him out.
"Minister Zou wants to see you." Secretary Jiao had met Xu Le a few times and was no stranger to him. He also knew that the person in front of him often went in and out of the Xishan Zou family.
Xu Le was slightly startled. He did not understand why Minister Zou wanted to see him at such a tense time before the military exercise. Was he not afraid of the speculation and discussion within the military?
…
…
"Sit."
In the high-rise suite of the training base, Zou Yingxing took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and calmly waved his hand at Xu Le, indicating that he should sit on the sofa beside the bed. This big shot who had suddenly risen to power in the Federation, whether it was in charge of logistics in the General Assembly Base, or cautiously holding his tail between his legs as the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense, or now that he had become a real big shot with great power in the Federal military, his expression was always so calm and peaceful. There was not the slightest change because of his rise in rank and power.
Xu Le sat down and looked at Zou Yingxing in front of him. He suddenly thought of a year ago at the Milky Way Public Cemetery, when they first met. They should not have been familiar with each other, but because of the black pot, they became familiar with each other. Looking at the white hair on Zou Yingxing's mane, Xu Le felt a little emotional. He thought that Minister Zou probably had to bear a lot of pressure between the government and the back mountain.
"Teacher Shaoqing is talented, courageous, and capable, so it is natural for him to be proud and cold. As a soldier of the Federation, you have to admit that he is a model soldier. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is difficult for you to find fault with him."
Zou Yingxing looked at him gently and said, "The president and the new members of the parliament all admire him."
After casually mentioning this, this powerful minister did not say anything else, nor did he blame Xu Le for his performance today. In the past year, Xu Le had often gone to the West Mountain Compound to eat, and had also had a few deep and simple conversations with the other in the study. He had gradually gotten used to this style of speaking, but he was extremely sensitive to some hidden meaning in Minister Zou's words. It was difficult to find fault with Du Shaoqing. Did this mean that some people in the upper echelons of the military had been trying to find fault with the Iron Seventh Division?
"On the surface, the data shows that only 27 MX mecha have been made, but in reality, the General Assembly Base and the Nutshell Engineering Department have already made 230 MX mecha." Minister Zou calmly changed the topic and said, "The relevant military mechanics have also been receiving training in Hong Kong. The ones in charge of the training are Shang Qiu, whom you know, and those companions who worked with you all those years ago."
Xu Le nodded. The Federation had sent Shang Qiu and the others to train mechanic engineers, while he was sent here to train pilots. With both sides working together at the same time, the actual large-scale equipment of MX should be able to be brought forward. It was just that he did not really understand why he had to train so harshly in their mecha abilities when the training officers were trained according to the standards of their commanding officers. Why did the military not let him train the original pilots of the various units?
"Fitting out a new mecha is a comprehensive project. It cannot be rushed."
Zou Yingxing's brows showed signs of fatigue. He said, "But no one knows how much data the Empire has on those two corridors. When will the first shot be fired in the West Woods, so the military must hurry..."
"The department has seen the teaching materials you wrote in the base and admired them very much, especially your statement that the pilots themselves should also be excellent mechanics. The Federation cannot immediately train tens of thousands of ready-made mechanics. If the people who operate the mecha have a deeper understanding of the mecha, this problem can be solved."
"After some modifications to your teaching materials, they will be sent to the Four Great Military Academies." Zou Yingxing seemed to be in a better mood. He looked at him with a smile and said, "I knew you could design mecha, but I didn't expect your theoretical level of mecha operation to be so good."
Xu Le was a little embarrassed. He had never formally learned how to operate mecha. He had only memorized a lot of it in Ewha University. Coupled with the advanced testing system in H1, he had been able to rely on his deep knowledge of mechanics and his understanding of the MX to come up with this set of teaching materials. He had not expected that this set of teaching materials, which he had been forced to write, would actually be used by the military.
"In the past, the official data stated that there were only 400 M-series mecha. How many are there really?" Xu Le thought back to what Minister Zou had said earlier, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He had a close relationship with this important person in front of him. He could not help but want to know the big question he had when he was reading the weapons magazines in Dong Lin.
"3400 units... and it's still increasing at the rate of 20 units a day." Minister Zou rested both his hands on the sofa and replied with a smile, "The MX is a brand new system. The main assembly base and Nutshell don't have enough production lines, and the cost is too high. The old M-series mecha will still play a big role in future battles. "
Hearing this number, Xu Le's heart shook. So the Federation had been hiding its true strength all this time. And looking at the trace of emotion and satisfaction on Minister Zou's face, he remembered that this general had always been in charge of the Federation's logistics system. The astonishing number of mecha and the powerful ability to deliver supplies should be the condensation of the other's life's work and his greatest pride.
Everyone knew that logistics were the key to war. And the Federation had appointed a general with a logistical background as the Federation's Minister of Defence. No matter how much of this involved, the strong recommendation of Mochou Yingxing and President Pabre's balancing act, it at least proved that the Federation was changing some big concepts.
Summoning him here in the middle of the night naturally couldn't be just to talk about some Federation secret numbers or daily life. Xu Le thought to himself that tonight's conversation would definitely have something to do with the MX mecha.
"These training officers and the Japanese military exercise this time are actually the plans drawn up by the Joint Chiefs of Staff after the MX mecha standard was officially confirmed half a year ago." Minister Zou looked at him calmly and asked, "Do you know the true purpose of this military exercise?"
Xu Le shook his head.
"War is a war of people, and also a war of equipment. A revolutionary weapon will bring about a revolutionary change in the thinking of war. Unfortunately, the MX appeared too late, and the war is just around the corner. There isn't much time for the Federal military generals to gradually discover the importance of the MX and gradually change the inherent tactical guiding ideology. "
"To change the established thinking they learned from the four major military academies is a very difficult thing. This bend... no matter who tries, it will be very difficult to turn it around."
"But we need to consider what kind of situation we will face if the Empire's new mecha has already been successfully developed." Zou Yingxing said with a serious expression, "In the future, the frontline commanders must learn a completely new commanding ideology in terms of attack and defense. Attack, they must maximize the mobility of the MX mecha. Defense, they must learn how to face the highly mobile close-range attacks of the new mecha... "
"All the generals in the military must have a deep understanding that in the future battlefields of the planetary continent, the mecha is the most important thing."
Zou Yingxing's tone was calm, but it carried a trace of an air that brooked no resistance. This was the long-term plan of the top brass of the Federal military, the crystallization of their collective wisdom, and also the general trend of the Federal Army's reform.
"The reason why I didn't let you train the original pilots but instead train these commanders is to spread this attitude towards the MX mecha to all the troops through these officers. In the future, when this batch of officers grows up, they will become staunch supporters of the theory of mecha dominance.
"This is also the mission President Pabre and the military has given you."
Hearing these words, Xu Le could not help but feel his mind waver. He had not expected that he would actually be involved in such an important matter. He pursed his lips and then said seriously, "The students have learned very well. In today's military exercise, the special mecha battalion led by Hua Xiaosi has already displayed the capabilities of the MX mecha."
"It's still too far from the requirements of the joint conference." Zou Yingxing shook his head coldly and said, "Zhou Yu clearly had a 70% chance of getting to the opponent's command center. They clearly knew where the MX's deep penetration ability was... but they were still limited by their inherent tactical discipline and ideology. They only dared to attack the backup mecha base of Iron Seven Division, not daring to directly attack the division headquarters.
"The division headquarters might have failed because they were facing the Iron Seven Division. But in this military exercise, the joint conference had originally hoped to display the capabilities of the MX mecha to shake the old ideology of the spectating officers. Unfortunately, the MX's capabilities were only partially displayed. The officers present and watching from afar were not truly moved. "
Minister Zou rubbed his forehead tiredly and sighed softly. He said, "Without being moved from the depths of one's heart, it is very difficult to adjust the strategic thinking of an army. This is especially true for this group of academic officers, led by Commander Shaoqing. They still firmly believe that strategy is the most important thing on the battlefield.
"Of course, the joint conference will definitely not oppose this ideology, but they will need to make adjustments. In fact, one of Commander Shaoqing's personal guard camps is filled with mecha. He understands the importance of equipment better than anyone else, but he has always been proud of his daily training and commanding, so he subconsciously does not want to admit this point. "
Zou Yingxing said calmly, "This is also the real reason why Admiral Miles and I came to the base. After your impromptu military exercise ends tomorrow, there will be a senior general meeting immediately. The four main armies and the Federal Fleet will be connected remotely."
Xu Le stared blankly at the department head sitting on the sofa. Only now did he realize that the impromptu military exercise in the early hours of the morning was not because of the trivial matter between him and the Iron Seven Division. It had such a profound meaning. He suddenly felt a little cold. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "A super defense battalion full of mechas … I can't win."
"The joint conference is not asking you to fight the Iron Seven Division, just one camp. The military exercise plan is already out. Both sides will divide up the simulated forces and try to get as close as possible. Other than those military cadets, the seventh group will also be assigned to you. "
Minister Zou waved his hand dismissively and said, "In truth, no one expects you to win. They just hope that even if you lose, you lose beautifully. You need to use iron-clad facts to warn those generals that anyone who underestimates the usefulness of the MX mecha will definitely end up in a sorry state. On the battlefield, that is a tragic sight to behold."
He was going to fight a battle that was destined to be unwinnable just to vent his anger and make the other side suffer heavy losses. This would leave a shadow in the hearts of the generals. Xu Le felt that this matter was a little ridiculous. Furthermore, he knew that he would lose, but he still had to lose to the bastard Iron Seven Division. Thinking of Du Shaoqing's extremely cold and murderous eyes, Xu Le felt a wave of anger rise in his heart. He said, "Can I not go?"
"You have already signed the contract to sell your body." Zou Yingxing looked at Xu Le, and his brows furrowed slightly. He knew in his heart that such a request was unreasonable for this person. Regardless of the outcome, if Xu Le were to beat the opponent into a pulp, he would definitely offend Du Shaoqing, who had the most limitless future in the Federation military, as well as the incomparably iron-blooded 7th division.
Thinking of this, Minister Zou's gaze softened. Thinking of the relationship between his daughter and the man in front of him, a complicated thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Xu Le was single, and so was Yuzi. Anyway, Liu Huo's father was this fellow's name. If …
"After this matter is done, come over for a meal," Minister Zou said casually.
Xu Le nodded gloomily. However, he thought that after this matter was done, the government should send Mr. Shi a special pardon, right? Thinking of this, he smiled and asked, "How's Liu Huo's appetite now?"
"Very good at eating," Minister Zou said calmly.
…
…
In the warehouse on the other side of the base, the atmosphere was solemn and heavy. In the extremely spacious warehouse, seven hundred Federation soldiers were nervously but orderly making the final preparations before the battle. Some people cleaned up their guns, removed the real ammunition, and replaced it with digital analog signal generators. The self-propelled armored vehicles' engines began to roar.
In the innermost part of the warehouse, dozens of black M52 mechas were like iron giants, coldly watching the people in the warehouse. The busy mechanical engineers beside the mechas were shouting something through the intercom, and all kinds of equipment were moving in and out.
If the Iron Seventh Division was the trump card of the Third Military Region, the trump card that the Federation regrettably didn't go through the test of war, then the local defense unit that had always followed Du Shaoqing was the trump card of the trump card. Whether it was the equipment or the quality of the soldiers, they were second to none in the entire military. They were extremely excellent, and they had always been under the command of the best military officers.
Although it wasn't a real battle, the soldiers of the local defense unit were abnormally solemn. They treated any drill as a real battle, especially this impromptu drill that was about to begin in the early morning. It was related to the glory of Division Commander Shaoqing and the entire Iron Seventh Division. Many people already knew about the story between the lieutenant colonel named Xu Le and their division commander on the field. Their hearts were filled with anger, and they decided to directly smash the troops led by that reckless lieutenant colonel into pieces.
Following a sharp beep of an alarm, the armoured vehicles and the M52 mecha that had switched to moving mode began to rumble forward, crushing the hard and special ground as they moved into the night, heading towards the designated area of the military exercise headquarters to set up defenses.
"Division Commander, why did you agree to the Ministry of Defense's request? Everyone knows that kid is the future son-in-law of the head of the military... our Iron Seventh Division is not a tool to play games with other people, "a lieutenant colonel stood beside Division Commander Du Shaoqing and said angrily.
Du Shaoqing was silent and didn't answer. He only glanced at Ximen Jin beside him to confirm that this subordinate of his that he admired the most didn't have any intention of underestimating the enemy. He nodded his head in satisfaction.
"There are no games on the battlefield," Du Shaoqing said coldly, "Ximen, fight well."
"Yes, Division Commander," Ximen Jin replied in a low voice and then followed his troops into the darkness.
Watching the local defense battalion of the Iron Seventh Division gradually disappear into the darkness, listening to the faint sounds of mechas tearing through the forest and the rumbling of tanks in the distance, Du Shaoqing's deep eye sockets suddenly became cold, but it immediately turned into a trace of indescribable complex emotions.
Many people, including his subordinates, thought that this impromptu military drill was a joke, but what kind of person was Du Shaoqing? Although he was successfully angered by Xu Le, he only needed to calm down for a few minutes to clearly determine the true intentions of the Joint Conference and the Ministry of Defense. This was not a dispute between him and Xu Le. In fact, Xu Le didn't even have the right to challenge his military talent.
Du Shaoqing quietly looked at the dark night, but from this impromptu military drill and the intentions of the military, he thought of something even more profound.
Looking at the entire universe, Du Shaoqing had always had no respect for anyone on the battlefield. Even the tiger in the West Woods was just a person with courage but no brains in his eyes. Only one person stood in front of him like a mountain, blocking the blue sea, blue sky, and thousands of stars in his eyes — that was the Federation's God of War, Li Pifu.
He was not a person who only knew how to be arrogant. His heart was filled with respect and worship for the Federation's God of War. During his military career, he had even regarded Li Pifu as his teacher from afar.
But Du Shaoqing was not an ordinary person. He regarded Li Pifu as his teacher, but he wanted to surpass this teacher who didn't know him and establish his own history on the battlefield!
After many years of peace, the Federation urgently needed a hero after the God of War retired to the lakeside of Feicheng. Du Shaoqing relied on his own talent and his achievements in the Iron Seventh Division to become the successor of the God of War. He himself did not contradict this saying. His real thought was: If not me, who else can do it?
However, the God of War suddenly left Feicheng, went to the Capital Special District, and went to the military prison of Qingcheng, all for that kid. That kid even entered the military base and became the instructor of this batch of officers with great potential.
Du Shaoqing's cold eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. Successor?
The God of War, Li Pifu, had both military wisdom and supreme bravery. He was the epitome of military talent. Du Shaoqing took away the word "strategy", while Xu Le challenged Li Feng at the top of Kaqi Peak and killed Macklin at S2. However, he took away the word "bravery" from Li Pifu.
"The marshal shocked the universe back then. In the end, he relied on his bravery to travel thousands of miles to kill the emperor of the Empire."
Du Shaoqing looked at the dark night with some loneliness and muttered to himself in his heart. Xu Le was still an inconspicuous instructor, but he already felt threatened. How far would he go in the future, a person specially trained by the Army God? Therefore, he wanted to prove to the entire Federal military that between strategy and bravery, strategy was the most important thing. This … was also why he agreed to the Ministry of National Defense and let his subordinates and Xu Le carry out this military exercise.
But in fact, in the deepest part of Du Shaoqing's heart, he had always been disgusted with the Federation and the military. He respected Li Pifu very much. When he was studying at the First Military Academy, he had calmly thought about this because the God of War would always die.
As a person who governed the military, Du Shaoqing insisted that training the level of logistical support, the ability to implement tactics, and the unpredictability of strategic intentions were the most important things to kill the enemy on the battlefield. Individual heroism and idol creation could bring an extremely strong combat strength in normal times, but this kind of influence was too heavily relied on. Once the hero or idol died, what would the army do?
However, Du Shaoqing did not notice that at this time, several soldiers left in the warehouse were secretly looking at him from afar. Looking at the tall and straight figure of their teacher, the eyes of these soldiers were filled with fanatical worship and awe.
He himself was already the embodiment of the Iron Seventh Division.
…
…
"The plan for the military exercise has been decided. The Iron Seven Division has been given a virtual high-speed missile unit by the central computer. It's a non-cruise system. Although it won't do much damage to the MX mecha, it'll still be a big problem. Our side has only been moved by a virtual reorganisation camp. Those digital signals will face the trump card of Iron Seventh Division, so we can't place too much hope on them. "
"Besides, the tactical intent this time is too clear. The other side will definitely be on guard against the MX mecha breaking out of camp. If the other side has a thermal activation band monitor, then it will be very difficult for you guys to approach silently. If you guys block all electronic signals, then I can release a few inductive heat sources and try. But the problem is, if you guys block all electronic signals, then you won't be able to receive the satellite map and real-time information from the command center... in this vast mountain range, where will you find the other side's command center?"
"The most important thing is, I might not be able to bet on the location of his command center from the electronic monitoring." Zhou Yu, who was in charge of the overall tactical deduction and specific command, was not as gentle and calm as usual. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was worried as he said, "The local defense camp's equipment is too strong. Although Du Shaoqing is not well-known, I heard that he is Du Shaoqing's most trusted staff officer. He is still a guard with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and is educated by Du Shaoqing every day. You can imagine how good his commanding skills are."
"We will lose without a doubt. I can't think of any other way," said Zhou Yu directly. The stern-looking officer students beside him began to discuss among themselves.
"Instructor Xu, what do you suggest?" Hua Xiaosi noticed the silent Xu Le and asked curiously.
With these words, the room instantly fell silent. Xu Le was silent for a moment, then smiled somewhat helplessly and said, "I'm not good at this... but, Zhou Yu, can you think of a way to tear open a hole in Iron Seventh Division's outer defensive perimeter and open up a path for me?"
"Even if you can tear it open, it won't mean much. Eight MX mecha are too big of a target and will be easily discovered," said Zhou Yu seriously.
Xu Le lowered his head slightly, his palm lightly stroking the black workbench beside him. He said, "Hua Xiaosi, you guys send all seven MX mecha out in a moment and leave a path for me to sneak in."
"No matter how strong the MX mecha are, don't expect them to actually be able to break into the opponent's command center." Zhou Yu retorted bluntly, "The internal electronic codes of the Federal military are too easy to identify. As mentioned earlier, unless you turn the MX into a blind and deaf person, then there will be some possibility. But for a blind and deaf person, are you prepared to wander around the mountains for an entire day and then admit defeat?"
"I'm going to lose anyway. Just help me leave a hole." Xu Le scratched his head, then turned his head with a wry smile to say to Xiong Linquan and the other 18 men, "You guys follow me. Once you can squeeze into the hole, then spread out and help me cover up."
The entire room was silent. The officer students were all excellent all-rounders, but after thinking about it for a while, they still couldn't understand. Other than stupidity, what other adjectives could describe Instructor Xiao Xu's design?
...
...
The night wind blew gently. At the training base surrounded by the lush mountains, it was already autumn. Stimulated by the chill of the night, even those swaying branches seemed to be frozen stiff.
Eight pure black MX mecha were like eight proud warriors about to go on an expedition. Xu Le narrowed his eyes as he looked at the cold mecha that had been repaired and recharged. Carrying the black workbench, he climbed up in a few steps and squeezed into the comfortable design of the operation cabin.
Team Seven had already taken the lead and slipped into the mountains under the night sky. These professional militants who were used to doing the dirty work for the government might not be better than the people of the Iron Seven Division in terms of military quality, but this kind of stealth work was exceptionally easy for them. Xu Le thought of the heroic figure of Xiong Linquan breaking through the forest with Carlin's guns and cannons, and couldn't help but feel a chill.
The pilots of the Federation all had their own hidden treasures. This was a rule that had been cultivated over the years. The more ace the pilot was, the more bizarre and mysterious their belongings would be. Some would use their wife's sexy underwear, some would use their daughter's school bag, and some would even put a miniature statue of Li Ruofu in their mech.
No one knew that Xu Le and Madman Li's hidden treasures were both boxes. It was just that Xu Le's box was slightly bigger, but what he really needed was the heavy leather jacket that was hidden under the black workbench.
After the phone call many days ago, the seventh young master of the Li family, who had been trying to reinvest in Xu Le, had prepared money and some controlled equipment components without hesitation. Through Zou Yu's means, he had quietly smuggled them into the base. The equipment in the base was incomparably advanced, and Xu Le also had extremely high authority. As early as half a month ago, he had already assembled the simulation system he needed the most.
With the simulation system in hand, I have the world. Without this hidden treasure, Xu Le would definitely be like these military cadets when he participated in this impromptu military exercise, without any confidence. Of course, his current confidence was still not much.
Accompanied by the buzzing sound of micromotors, the front hatch of the MX mecha slowly closed. The feeling of silence and isolation once again appeared in Xu Le's mind. Narrowing his eyes, he opened the central control system and performed one last round of self-checks. Taking out the simulation system, he put it on and began to connect.
As a mecha designer, he had an innate advantage in this aspect. The universal interface that Xu Le had designed just so happened to be able to connect to the simulation system. After three minutes of silence, Xu Le felt the numbing and itching sensation of electricity on the surface of his skin. He felt the scorching lines of power in his body flowing along his internal meridians, continuously sending signals to the MX mecha. He could not help but feel a strong surge of confidence and power fill his entire body.
The black MX mecha began to move. Its cold alloy mechanical legs did not turn into forward mode, but instead trembled strangely. Then, with a strong gust of wind, the black mecha disappeared from its original position with unparalleled speed, breaking through the forest and kicking up a cloud of dust, leaves in the air, and countless birds chirping.
The seven MX mecha who had been left behind seemed to freeze. In the cockpit, Hua Xiaosi thought about the scene on the screen and could not help but rub his eyes. This level of mecha control … how high of a hand speed was needed to make a mecha display this kind of speed?
Everyone was shocked and amazed. Instructor Little Xu was indeed the ace pilot who had defeated the heir of the Lees of Philadelphia. This level of ferocity was truly not normal.
5: 30 am, this strange military exercise officially began. Iron Seventh Division's ace defense camp, in just one encounter, displayed even greater combat power than they had displayed during the day.
On the battlefield, the interference of radio waves, filtering, and strong and weak signals intertwined with each other in the air without a sound but in an incredibly tragic manner. The moment the ground troops came into contact with each other, the numerical strength of the virtual soldiers on the central computer dropped rapidly under the attack of the Local Defense Battalion, who cut them apart like sharp blades.
Zhou Yu stared at the data on the screen with a heavy expression. Only now did he know that Instructor Du Shaoqing's words were true. During the day, Iron Seventh Division had indeed gone easy on them. Right now, the opponent looked like they were really going for it. His own ragtag troops could only hold on for another half an hour at most.

(I'm really sorry. Yesterday, I actually completely wrote the wrong chapter name, and today … I've been writing for an entire day. I've written 10,000 words, but in the end, I still couldn't finish writing this plot.
I admit that I'm indeed very long-winded. Or should we call it a glorified elaboration? My eyes are already blurry, and I really can't write anymore … Friends who have finished reading this chapter seriously should be clear that there really isn't any exaggeration in it. I'm writing seriously. It's just that there seems to be too many things I want to write, and those things that need to be explained have all been gathered in this chapter by me …
