Byron's Blade

"Dididi..." The alarm clock sounded, and the dazed Mu Li stretched out his hand to touch the phone, but found nothing after touching for a long time, and then suddenly realized that there was no mobile phone, it was clearly on his wrist id is ringing.

Turning on the id, the holographic screen turned on, and the digital clock showing 06:00 appeared in front of his eyes. Mu Li turned off the alarm clock, then got up from the bed with a gulp, and began to wash and change clothes quickly.

The time was the early morning of August 8th. After two days of rest for the whole army, the autumn training of the mech divisions of the Western Group Army will finally kick off today.As soon as the genius was bright, the camp began to be lively.The stipulated time to assemble the whole team is 24:6, and then take them to have breakfast, and formally assemble at the playground at 30:7.Although Mu Li is an officer, she also has to eat with the soldiers during the training camp. She will not be able to enjoy the benefits of the officers' canteen for the time being.Fortunately, the address has not changed, and she can go back to her bachelor apartment to have a good rest.

Leading the troops is her job, so she needs to gather the soldiers, give orders, and send them up and down.As the adjutant of the sub-squadron, she has 500 soldiers under her command. Together with the 500 under Rui Qiao's command, it is all the soldiers of the left-wing sub-squadron led by Lieutenant Lu Diyun.But in fact, Mu Li has not had close contact with the soldiers under his command until now.

After fastening the armed belt, tugging at the corners of the camouflage training uniform, and straightening the beret on his head, Mu Li smiled satisfied at himself in the mirror, then opened the door of the dormitory and walked out.The training uniform she was wearing was not the same as the official field combat uniform, and the standard was different.The hood disappeared, replaced by a windshield collar, and the helmet was replaced by a beret, which is one of the more commonly worn clothing by soldiers.

Gathering, eating, heading to the playground, everything went well.The soldiers who can enter the ace division have basically been in the army for more than five years. The orders are prohibited, and the time is strictly followed. There will never be people who disobey the orders. They are very easy to lead.But when entering the playground, Mu Li, who was already a little relieved, was surprised.

Originally, she thought that the playground was just a football field. She was very familiar with the 400-meter running track and the standard football field covered with green lawns.But the so-called playground at the training base is a huge oval-shaped building similar to a bird's nest. It covers a very large area and has an openable roof above the head. Soldiers don't have to endure the scorching sun and rain. There is a central air conditioner inside to adjust the temperature. , the training environment is greatly improved.

Although it is good news for soldiers to be able to train in a shelter from wind and rain.But the real purpose here is the mecha training ground, not all the training takes place here.Surrounding the mech training field for a week, there are all virtual mech control training rooms, which can be used to practice mecha operation, and can accommodate 1000 people to train here at the same time; there is an empty and huge martial arts field in the center, and the virtual system in the martial arts field can simulate Create more than 50 different natural environments.You can directly log in to the virtual mecha battle platform with your personal soldier number, and soldiers can fight each other in pvp or fight against virtual generated monsters.

These can only be classified as indoor training. The soldiers still have a lot of outdoor training, so they have to use real mechas for training.In addition, there will be tough field training every once in a while. Soldiers will regularly leave the safe station and really go deep into the wild for training in a dangerous environment. Casualties appear.Compared with the past, the hardship of being a soldier has actually increased.

When Mu Li led the troop into the huge martial arts arena, hundreds of people had gathered in the center of the arena.The dense army green camouflage, the uniform team, there are so many people, but it is surprisingly quiet.Everything is a familiar scene, except that what makes Mu Li feel unaccustomed is the lack of loud orders from the officers.Because every soldier wears an intercom headset on his ear, and the connection with the commander is controlled by the id of the wristband.The officers don't have to shout at the top of their voices, they only need to use a normal volume to convey the order to the whole army.Because it is an indoor training, the helmet is also removed. The helmet is actually very uncomfortable to wear for a long time, which can also reduce the training burden of the soldiers.

Moreover, during the training, the soldiers did not wear powered exoskeletons.Because there are a large number of powered exoskeletons connected to the system in each mech training room, it looks like the somatosensory game consoles in the previous game arcades. Once assembled, you can start training.

At seven o'clock, the opening meeting of the training camp started on time.The captain of the third squadron, Chris Forsman, who was also wearing a training uniform, appeared and led a total of six lieutenants from the left and right wings to the rostrum on the side of the martial arts arena.The six lieutenants lined up behind Chris Fussman according to their positions, with their hands behind their backs and their legs shoulder-width apart. They stood with serious and meticulous faces.

Mu Li was standing behind Lieutenant Lu Diyun's right side, near the middle of the rostrum.Rui Qiao is on her left, and she can be seen out of the corner of her eye.And under the rostrum in front of you is a huge crowd of soldiers.There are a total of 2000 military officers and soldiers in the third mecha squadron, all assembled.The troops lost before have also been selected/come out of the reserve in the past two days to make up for it.

Captain Chriss Forssman said straightforwardly in a very military style: "I don't want to talk nonsense, this mission, look at our damage, we know that our current coordinated operations have a big problem. Mecha Individual ability is strong, and because of the size, it is easy to form scattered formations in jungle operations, and it is difficult to gather together. In the long march, it is also easy to be separated, causing each to dominate and it is difficult to rescue each other. This has always been The perennial problem has been unresolved for decades. Now, the Rudolph Military Academy, the highest military academy, has finally come up with an effective solution. We are very lucky to be the first to try out this coordinated combat method, and we are here The initiator of the plan—Major Lanny Friesman personally came to the Alta Base to guide the training. Everyone applauds and welcomes!"

Immediately there was overwhelming applause from the audience. Although the soldiers did not whisper, the expressions of excitement on their faces were real.It was a great surprise to hear the name of Lanny Friesman. This famous beautiful military officer is an idol among the soldiers.Her beautiful appearance, prominent background and intelligent mind are admirable, and at the same time, it is said that her mecha manipulation skills are also extremely superb, ranking among the best in the entire Federation.

Accompanied by continuous applause, behind the rostrum, Lan Ni, who was also wearing a training uniform, stepped out heroically in military boots.She walked to the front of the stage, first saluted Captain Chris briefly, and then stood astride.

Captain Kris immediately ordered:

"stand at attention!"

"Crack", I only heard the sound of the crash of military boots echoing in the empty martial arts arena.

"salute!"

"Shua", the uniform movements of 2000 people were as precise and error-free as computer calculations.

Lan Ni saluted the audience solemnly with a smile on her face, then turned around neatly, and formally saluted Captain Chris and the six lieutenants behind her.She glanced at Mu Li who was not far away, who was as straight as a pine tree, and saw that Mu Li had a serious face, his expression was calm, and the smile on the corner of Lan Ni's mouth showed signs of widening.

Mu Li's heart was broken at this moment. She really didn't expect that the legendary trainer who came all the way from the central city was actually Major Lanny Friesman.The first meeting the night before made her think that Lanny came to Alta for a more secret military mission.Who would have known that he came to be a trainer in a fair and honest manner.

Mu Li's sixth sense told her that during the training camp for the next two months, she probably wouldn't have a good time.

After the salute, Captain Chris asked Lanny to give a speech before the training camp.

Immediately, on the large curved screen of an unknown number of inches above the rostrum, there was an explanation demonstration made by Lan Ni herself.In Muli's era, this thing was a ppt, but Lanny's explanation and demonstration were smooth animations, which could be paused or played remotely through the bracelet ID.Several military officers standing on the rostrum can also see the picture through the screen in front of the stage.

Lan Ni at work is straightforward and neat, and she is completely different from the unpredictable her in private.After quickly finishing her opening remarks, she began to briefly explain this brand-new collaborative combat plan through the demonstration animation, and introduced in detail the training plan for the next two months and the goals to be achieved after the training.

"My colleagues are also implementing this plan in several other squadrons of the Mecha Division. When the training is over in mid-to-late October, the entire Mecha Division will hold a big competition of training results with the squadron as a unit to check and accept the results. Everyone The results will be directly related to the feasibility of this set of plans. At the same time, it will also be related to the combat strength and ranking of the third squadron in the mecha division, and it will be linked to personal meritorious military achievements. I hope everyone can work hard to cooperate with my work and make this set of plans Work it out. My speech is over, thank you."

There was warm applause again from the audience, and even several military officers on the stage applauded.It's not being polite, it's from the heart.Because Lan Ni's new plan for coordinated operations is really fascinating. Although it has not yet been implemented, after listening to the explanation, people with a little military literacy feel that this plan is simply a genius idea.

The huge size and strong individual ability of mechas are the result of human beings' last resort in order to use their weak bodies to fight against powerful enemies.The result of this is that in the jungle, the bulky mechs are easily blocked by dense trees and complex terrain, making the formation scattered, difficult to gather, and difficult to coordinate operations. Judgment ability.Therefore, many soldiers die innocently every year because they cannot receive timely rescue from friendly forces for this reason.This kind of problem has been going on for decades and cannot be effectively solved. It can be said that not only the mech troops, but also the entire federal army, this is a long-standing problem.

In fact, shortly after such a problem appeared, someone used reverse thinking to put forward the concept of "scattered multi-type arrays for coordinated operations".A simple explanation is that there is no need to force the mechas to be densely packed, and they are simply scattered. In the jungle, points are formed into lines, and lines are formed into planes, so that individual mechas have friendly forces who can rescue them in time in all directions. Quick and effective scheduling when the time comes.

However, this idea has always been an idea and cannot be realized because the hardware cannot keep up.Hundreds of mechas scattered into the jungle with complex terrain, and for the leader leading the team, commanding became almost impossible.Although the mech system has GPS positioning, its range is limited. Once scattered, the area will be very large, and it is difficult for the officers to take care of everything.Moreover, there are hills, caves, swamps, and dense forests in the jungle, plus it is rainy and humid, the situation is complex and changeable, and there are many emergencies. It is difficult to guarantee the efficiency of command and rescue only by simple GPS positioning and radio communication. .

What Lanny has done is to develop a nearly complete mecha cooperative combat system in nearly five years, and calculate tens of thousands of mecha arrays. The topographical and climatic conditions, and the assistant commander's command, enable every soldier to be dispatched extremely effectively under this system.

As the saying goes, inspiration only takes a moment, but realizing it requires countless sweats.Lanny is a genius who puts the inspiration of the predecessors into reality.Of course, it is impossible to rely on her alone to complete such a huge project. Lanny's team came to Alta together this time, and dispersed into various squadrons of the mecha division to implement the training plan. Three squadrons.It was a coincidence, but Mu Li didn't believe it at all.

In this way, some of the essentials in the previous mecha training need to be overthrown and restarted.From the marching method of the entire team to the tactical actions of individual mechs, all need to be adjusted.Moreover, once this plan is implemented, it will test the mech pilot's personal ability even more, and the amount of training will be greatly increased.

"Now each team is brought into the training room. The task until noon is to experience this new system." Chris gave the order, and the captains of each team in the audience immediately started to form the team in an orderly manner. I saw Rogge's entire team on the Internet. As a sergeant, he was the captain of the 50-member team.And the lieutenants, led by Lan Ni, will also go to the training room dedicated to lieutenants to experience the new system.

Mu Li was a little flustered, this was her first experience of mech driving.Although it is virtual, she has never been in contact with it before, so it is difficult to tell the error.What should I do later?Is it an excuse to refuse?Or is it improvisation?

Seeing Lan Ni, who was walking side by side with Chris, talking and laughing, she silently wiped off her cold sweat.
