Chapter 1060 We are really here to be friendly neighbors
Well, after all, this is a front line two million light years away from the mainland. Even if we set out from the star gate left by the Enlightened One, if we want to maintain supplies for tens of millions of troops and thousands of warships on the front line, of course we can only rely on colonies.
It is impossible and can only be transported from the mainland. In this case, even a wealthy empire can guarantee cans and compressed biscuits to ordinary soldiers on the front line, which is already very good.
Yes, the current stormtroopers on the front line of "Dawn Star Territory" are guaranteed to get canned meat, nutritional paste and compressed biscuits every time they eat. Although I don't know what the ingredients are in the canned meat and nutritional paste, the calories are guaranteed.
The nutrition is actually quite balanced. In addition, the grenadier's food is higher than the above. In addition to the above, there are also dried meats, canned fruits, and candies, which are basically the same as the treatment of battleship crew members.
However, officers and knights have access to fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, high-end snacks, and even fine tobacco and wine, and even the military paradise of Ying Ying Yan Yan.
Of course, the above differential treatment has been going on for thousands of years. No matter whether it is an officer from a noble family or a cannon fodder from a lower race, there is no problem.
Although Brigadier General Takai was born as a third-class citizen of the empire, he is still a general after all. If he wants to enjoy it, he can guarantee the above treatment. However, the people under his command are all good stormtroopers who are "50 yuan each". He is not a noble.
The master is not a military genius. If you want to lead the troops well, you still need to create a person who shares the joys and sorrows with the brothers.
Therefore, even he, a majestic Imperial Brigadier General, and a giant Lager who could drink heavily, had not smelled the smell of alcohol for a month or two.
What's more, today is still New Year's Eve...
Brigadier General Takai suddenly felt that these earthling friendly forces were really capable, and they were really reliable if anything happened! His previous statement of "taking down Marshal Li's Grad in one day at most" was immediately thrown out of the window.
However, he at least remembered that he was a serious imperial brigadier general, not a pet raised by the army, so he regained his composure in an instant, lowered his voice and said: "Sir, do the people on earth have some conspiracy? We have to be careful."
Okay, what a correct nonsense.
Although Major General Aduka thinks so, he actually doesn't mind that his subordinates are simple-minded. In other words, it is precisely because the other party is simple-minded that the two sides get along so happily.
Of course, as the person in charge of the Imperial Army in Yaochi, he still thought more about it.
Will the people on earth conduct a sneak attack without showing martial ethics? They say they come to labor with condolences, but suddenly attack us when they enter the barracks? Or do they make us drunk before attacking? Or, what is the content of these food, sugar and wine?
Poisoned?
...It’s not a drama. In this dirty real world, how could there be so many dramatic developments?
Apart from anything else, although there are some subtleties in the atmosphere between the two armies, there is no quarrel after all, and they have cooperated sincerely to win many battles on the front line. The overall atmosphere is still positive, positive, and friendly, just a division.
How could the headquarters have the consciousness to break up with each other?
Not to mention that this is also one of the transit systems from the "Unity Fortress" to the front line. Supply fleets and patrol fleets pass through almost every day, nor does it mention that the next batch of our own reinforcements will arrive in ten hours. Anyway.
, he now has more than 6,000 well-trained and well-equipped stormtroopers under his command, and they are not just a mob pulled out by strong men.
As long as basic military vigilance is ensured, how can we really be killed by these dramatic means?
Major General Aduka understands this, and he believes that the people on Earth on the other side will also understand this as long as their brains are not bitten by the Myshandar Troll.
Well, after all possibilities have been eliminated, of course there is only one possibility - the other party really comes to express condolences.
"On behalf of the officers and soldiers of the empire, I would like to thank you for your gift!" Major General Aduka looked at the smile of the officer leading the other party who looked like a soy sauce shop owner, and politely returned the military salute and ordered to let him go.
I have to admit that although Brigadier General Takai is a simple-minded warrior, he leads the troops quite well. Even though these imperial soldiers are looking forward to the condolence gifts, they always maintain complete alert.
Then, amidst the collective onlookers with gun posts and loaded gun ports, this convoy from Marshal Li Grad really put on a long snake formation full of flaws, drove into the imperial barracks one after another, and unloaded two
More than 10,000 tons of various food supplies.
Then, the escorts of the convoy also got out of the car and calmly accepted the imperial hospitality out of etiquette. After resting for two hours, they were greeted by friendly forces and returned in their empty vehicles.
.
From the beginning to the end, these community soldiers really showed no aggression at all, and even only carried light weapons for self-defense.
The imperial soldiers looked at the mountains of food and supplies, and were filled with surprises for a moment. If these things were placed in the mainland, they would probably not be sold even if they were sent to the third- and fourth-tier towns, but if they were placed on the front line, they would be enough for the soldiers who fought bloody battles for half a year.
, I had a relatively comfortable New Year.
Of course, it's still the same sentence. After all, these people are professionally trained regular troops, not a disorganized rabble. Before the commander gave the order, the quarantine unit had already started searching, but they did not find any clues.
The soldiers could even smell the fragrance of earth from the fruits, vegetables and grains, which were clearly freshly harvested.
"It's a good harvest! I have never seen such big radishes and such tender cabbages. The land here is really too fertile." A soldier who was born as a farmer said to everyone.
"Are the people on Earth really helping these refugees grow vegetables?"
"That's what the reconnaissance team said. Haha, I believe it now. Otherwise, how could we gain so much so quickly?"
"Are these people here to farm or to fight?"
"Ah haha, after all, less than half of that division is human, and most of them are lizard natives from New Yumen. Lizards, it sounds like they are very good at farming."
This group of imperial troops has been here for some time, and naturally they have maintained a relatively safe distance from Marshal Li Gel on the other side of the planet. However, after all, this is a wild planet that has not been developed on a large scale. No matter how you look at it,
If you think there are some giant beasts hidden somewhere, it is very reasonable to send some drones into the sky to keep alert. Similarly, if occasionally a reconnaissance drone slips away 10,000 kilometers away, in Li
After wandering around Marshal Grad, it naturally becomes more reasonable.
I hope Earth's "friendly forces" won't overreact to this.
It is said that the "friendly troops" were very calm and did not react at all. Therefore, the empire's drone also took pictures of the vast hectares of farmland reclaimed along the river, the livestock herds living leisurely on the leveled pastures, and the pictures along the
Automatic fishing nets and breeding grids built on the coast.
As for Marshal Li’s city of Grad, most of it can’t be seen clearly from underground, but the vibrant scene of everything on the ground seems to represent a lot of meaning.
The people on earth are really ready to make great efforts to develop this planet. Major General Eduk made this calculation and ordered Brigadier General Takai: "Three shifts of sentries are coming, and at least maintain level three combat readiness. All officers and soldiers should drink alcohol."
It cannot exceed 200 ml. In your case...well, 500."
Amid the cheers of the soldiers, the older generals kept staring at the towering mobile vehicle that looked like a fortress heading towards the horizon, but they didn't know what they were thinking.
At this moment, on the armored vehicle, Simon Vayali was also communicating with his comrades.
"How is it? Is everything going well?" Meng Jiao asked.
"It went very smoothly, and the Empire was very friendly. Major General Aduka and Brigadier General Takai even invited me to have dinner. They even had dragon-wing steak and Holy Red Wine. It should be a special treat for the senior officers of the headquarters.
I really didn’t expect that I would eat dragon meat for the first time in my life on the front line of the New World.” Simon looked like he had endless aftertaste: “The rest of the soldiers were also well entertained… There’s a story, the Empire canned food and
The taste of field biscuits is not as good as ours, but the portion is really sufficient.”
"The empire is trying to show that their supplies are abundant, right? However, if the supplies are really abundant, there is no need for the empire to go more than 200 kilometers away to suppress those bison herds, right? There is no need to risk attacking that giant beast."
Meng Jiao touched his chin and calculated.
This is what happened last week. After the imperial army completed more than half of the barracks construction project, they allocated half of their manpower, and like crazy crows, they continued to sweep away all sights within a few hundred miles.
In addition, they also mobilized almost all the airships and armor forces to attack a giant beast that looked like a wild boar, but was over a hundred meters long and over thirty meters tall.
But you must know that the giant phantom beast lives more than a thousand kilometers away from the imperial barracks.
"Most of the empire's supply forces are currently being sent to the main fleet ahead. These planetary strongholds that have been occupied will be somewhat stretched... In addition, it is also possible that their follow-up reinforcements are about to arrive." Meng Jiao.
Continuing his analysis, he immediately saw his friend's strange expression and wondered, "What's your expression?"
"If others have only seen you fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, they probably won't notice such a delicate side of you." Simon Vayali smiled.
"Fortunately, the people who have only seen me fighting so far are not our own." Meng Jiao said seriously: "The Hanhai Sword is about a person who advances without retreating. It just so happens that I am also a 'guardian', and my vitality is still very tenacious. .The way of fighting is inevitably a bit wild."
Simon thought to himself, you are a guy who pretends to be carrying two heavy swords, and in the first round when you meet the enemy, you will definitely use a Vulcan cannon and a grenade gun to make your face worse. Why are you talking about "progress or retreat" here?
"In any case, the empire has indeed accepted our gift, which is enough. Whether the empire is short of supplies or not, we can only guess, but we can prove to the other party that we are not short of supplies."
"And the big car you drove over. To the empire, as long as it is equipped with weapons, it is a mobile ground fortress."
"It's better for the empire to misunderstand it. So I even had the Blue Label company's logo engraved on the outer armor plate."
This mobile fortress was actually captured by the 38th Division from the looter's warehouse. It was originally a green-skinned thing. Its mobility and protection capabilities are hard to describe, but its firepower is really powerful. However, Mengjiao and Simon, who have read the "On Surface Defense" "jointly written by Yu Lian and Hachiman", now believe that this kind of mobile vehicle with a frontal projection of more than ten meters high is indeed a target. It might as well be used for delivery. .
But, the empire doesn’t know!
We all know that the civilization of this generation has been matured by the legacy of the Enlightened Ones. It is because it entered the interstellar age early that the army doctrine has not developed much.
In a space fleet decisive battle, the core is always a majestic giant ship. So who says that in a land battle, the core is not this kind of mobile steel city filled with various weapons?
With the help of General Longba, the soldiers removed all the weapons from the mobile city and then covered it with a layer of iron. The appearance finally changed from a green-skin style to a serious sci-fi industrial style. .And because of the weight reduction, the battery life and speed have increased.
If the Empire suspected that the 38th Division deployed a powerful Steel City in Marshal Li Grad, that would be better.
After all, everyone needs time now.
Meng Jiao pondered for a moment and then said: "The transport fleet coming from Tuanjiexi is expected to arrive here tomorrow. I have asked everyone to take down the power armor in advance and pack it into boxes."
"...There wasn't any commotion, right?"
"Some soldiers really didn't understand, but everyone and I tried our best to convince them, and told them that new guys would be sent soon, and everyone reluctantly accepted it." Meng Jiao shook his head and said: "That guy with glasses, If you think about it all the time, it will really cause trouble for us."
"Interpreted from a positive perspective, it is better to think about something every time than to think about nothing or do nothing," Simon said.
The soldiers of the 38th Division had finally transformed from a militia into a regular army, and they were at the stage of high morale when they were gearing up for a big fight. Now, they were suddenly told that they had to transfer the mechas, and they immediately used a method to recruit soldiers from the elite.
Of course, many people will find it difficult to accept the feeling that a soldier trapped in a battle has been reduced to a cloth-armored cannon fodder unit.
Fortunately, these soldiers are all from families of workers and peasants in the Xinyumen Industrial Zone and state-owned farms, and have obtained the citizenship rights of the community. They have just been liberated from the control of the various sand people lords, and they are also at the highest level of loyalty to the community government.
At this stage, I also trusted Mengjiao and the others, so they didn't cause any trouble.
In addition, most of the current work of the soldiers is actually to be a squirrel gang. Relying on the amazingly fertile land of the Yaochi planet and the almost inexhaustible seafood resources in the deep sea next to it, Li Yuanshuai's style
The refugees in Le were trying every means to hoard food and supplies.
In addition, a group of bunkers were built along the mountains and trenches were dug.
Of course, in the eyes of the Imperial Army, which had not ignited the "Advanced Army Doctrine", these actions were just a group of masons doing civil construction and farmers digging in the fields.
Therefore, even the professionally trained Imperial Stormtroopers did let down a lot of vigilance towards Marshal Li Golla and the 38th Division.
"I hope the new equipment promised will arrive on time. By February, the planned defense line project will be built, and we will still have to do combat training by then."
"Indeed, training with armor and training without armor are two different things after all." Meng Jiao said: "For the time being, I can only take everyone to do long-distance running with weights."
Well, no matter what era or equipment, there is always nothing wrong with training for physical fitness.
Neither of the two friends doubted the performance of that batch of new equipment. After all, Akinayama Hachiman had already said that that batch of equipment was obtained by Yu Lian, and the latter also had high hopes for it, which would increase everyone's combat effectiveness to at least
An increase of 33.3%.
If it were the sullen-faced guy with glasses who said this, they might still have some doubts, but if it was the beloved boss Yu Lian, then of course there would be no problem.
Of course, besides this, there is other good news.
Not long after Simon took the entire convoy on the road, the Thirteenth Fleet sent a signal to Marshal Li Grad, asking them to find a shallow sea near the city where they could park the ship. Then, on December 29,
Then a destroyer landed with a ship more than three times larger than itself.
It was a Predator work ship captured by the Thirteenth Fleet.
Because the predators on that ship surrendered quickly, the overall hull was relatively intact, and the equipment on it was even more completely preserved. Eleanor Bonaparte thought that it was not too far away from the Yaochi star, so she moved the entire ship
The ship, including the prisoners on board, were all sent over directly.
