Chapter 29 Respect the Iron Tree that Has Not Bloomed for Hundreds of Years...

Although this was just an internal exercise, and there were many such discussions in the military, Ji He, as a member of the blue team, still felt a little uncomfortable.

Sergeant Beta tilted his head to look at the real-time feed of the supply point along the coastline.

The fishy and salty sea breeze blew across the wet beach, and clusters of white foam of various shapes, wrapped in light blue waves, surged towards the shore.

On the beach, the bulky mecha lost its energy source and turned into a piece of broken copper and iron that could not fly.

"Call to Blue Command failed."

The blue soldiers tried to contact the command again and again, but received no response and sat in the mecha without moving.

The calmer things seem, the more you need to be patient.

In the shadows of the green trees, there are several sniper rifles, and behind the guns are well-trained Alpha soldiers, all wearing red shoulder straps.

When the blue soldiers came into range, the red snipers hiding behind the bunkers half-closed their eyes and gently pulled the trigger with their index fingers.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Three blue smokes rose almost simultaneously from behind the soldiers who had just stepped out of the battle mecha.

The blue team's Alpha soldier's mournful yet unwilling expression was hidden in the smoke, making it difficult to see clearly.

Ji He suddenly thought of the night when he led his team to land and became Colonel Huo's target.

Those blank bullets flew in from all kinds of tricky angles. As long as there was a slight gap, they would be killed in one shot. Even the veterans with rich combat experience could not escape the elite sniper unit from the glorious legion.

"What a fucking fuck."

The angry blue soldiers kicked the shells washed up by the waves, and they were furious when they thought about how they were "killed" in the exercise.

There were also soldiers who resisted but were forced back to the coast by the snipers' fire.

At this moment, Ji He fully understood the true meaning of Gu Chaowen's words "beat the dog when it's down".

Although this mecha exercise was chosen to take place on an ocean planet, most people focused on traditional air combat and ignored land combat.

The battle between the Red and Blue teams is not a completely equal battle, but an extreme situation arrived at by Metis after many calculations.

The blue team that Ji He was on had a large number of people, but they did not have much advantage in landing time. The red team had a small number of people, but they were all elite, so every deployment needed to be carefully considered.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lieutenant Gu leaned towards Ji He and patted the silver badge that Beta had received after being promoted.

"Are you wondering where your colonel is?"

"Lieutenant Gu really loves to joke."

Admiral Huo is here, and no matter what, Huo Yubai will not be his family.

Ji He raised his eyes slightly, but Gu Chaowen's words did remind him.

He looked at the real-time images on the computer, and it seemed that every sniper that appeared on it was not Huo Yubai.

At the same time, the Blue Team's command center in mid-air was still fighting hard against the Silver Blade Mech. Even though their communication network was cut off half a day ago, they refused to admit that they had lost.

The main body of the blue team's command is also a mecha named Shadow. It is equipped with anti-tracking devices all over its body. It is a typical stealth mecha with low attack and high defense, generally used for reconnaissance and command.

Colorful nebulas and flashing lasers are the backdrop of this battlefield.

The silver combat mecha crossed the vast universe as fast as a flash of lightning.

Being discovered by someone was bad enough, but being tracked all the way to their doorstep by the grandson of a former senior was even worse.

"Colonel, what should we do?"

"What should I do?"

"beat!"

Like other mechas sent into battle by the Federation, the Shadow Mecha also possesses certain combat capabilities, but they are facing the Silver Blade.

Inside the Silver Blade mecha, Colonel Huo sat in the main control room, using S-level Alph information to control every precise attack of the mecha.

The Silver Blade Mech was seen moving quickly, firing powerful electromagnetic cannons before each anti-tracker detected it, trying to disrupt the blue team's main control room's external information transmission.

Huo Yubai's eyes were dark as he looked at the image being tracked by the radar in front of him, his expression was calm.

The Shadow Mecha was no pushover either. It summoned a huge energy shield, then used its full strength to strike the interstellar-famous Silver Blade Mecha flying away.

Most of those powerful electromagnetic cannons were blocked by the energy shield, and only a few rushed into the shadow mecha's information system as originally planned.

Once the information transmission system is cut off, it is a taboo in mecha warfare.

The Silver Blade mecha's leg ejectors were ignited instantly, and it rushed towards the blue team's command room, continuously firing powerful electromagnetic cannons.

Because the two mechas were too close, the angle of the Shadow Mecha's energy shield was not enough to cover all attacks, and many powerful electromagnetic cannons rushed towards the information system.

Although this move is risky, it can destroy the blue team's information exchange in a relatively short period of time. It is also the death order given to him by General Huo.

Whether it was an exercise or actual combat, federal soldier Huo Yubai had no choice but to obey his superiors' orders.

"Is this kid crazy?"

"He's just like his father and grandfather, both crazy!"

The commander of the blue mecha, Claude, is a veteran of the federal military and a former colonel of a military academy. However, he was suppressed by Huo Yingzhan in the first half of his life. Now that he is about to retire, another Colonel Huo who is not afraid of his life has come.

Colonel Claude felt miserable.

Lightning-like artillery fire gushed out from the Shadow Mech's weapon system, hitting the Silver Blade Mech's key parts.

The Alpha soldiers in the blue team's command room stared at the real-time screen on the optical computer. Artillery fire rolled over the silver metal shell, making a huge roar, and dark gray smoke spread out.

Colonel Huo's mental strength received a huge impact. He frowned slightly and did not choose to open the recovery system. He continued to attack the enemy with a powerful electromagnetic cannon.

"Is Alpha Huo made of iron? It can withstand so much! If it were any other mecha, it would have fallen into the sea and been fed to sharks."

Facing his subordinates' sighs, Colonel Claude snorted and replied, "We are all mortals, why pretend to be victorious in battle?"

Just as he finished speaking, the information system that had been strictly guarded was blasted open by dense and powerful electromagnetic cannons.

Right now!

The Silver Blade Mech put his hands together, and a huge energy lightsaber appeared between his palms.

The energy lightsaber slashed fiercely at the shadow mecha command center, cleanly cutting off the blue command center's external communications.

"Metis..."

"Colonel, I'm here."

"How's the situation over there?"

Metis tilted her head, as if thinking about how to answer Claude's question.

"Inquiry results: Except for Sergeant Ji who was captured, the rest of the soldiers are dead."

Colonel Claude placed his hands on the shaky command podium, looking bewildered, and asked, "Who is Sergeant Ji?"

Metis retrieved Ji He's information from the database and answered in a serious tone, "Ji He, Beta, was born on the planet Tong and joined the Federation Military Academy in 2965 of the Galactic Era..."

"Okay, stop reading."

"What good is a Beta? He's still a captive."

Metis did not answer. These Alphas had arrogance ingrained into their bones. There was no need to save them.

From then on, blue smoke billowed from the coastline, the same color as the sky.

Cheng Zhi, a good student who was sitting in the viewing area, stood up from his seat. He silently swore in his heart that one day, he would become a hero who could fight ten people alone.

Li Ran, who was standing beside him, stood up and said, "Let's go. There's a dinner."

Although the exercise has come to an end, the Blue Camp's low morale due to the failure has not dissipated.

In this mecha exercise, Colonel Huo's camp defeated the larger force with a smaller one, and the Red Army's command room located deep under the sea finally surfaced.

The exercise ended in the evening of the third day, and the captured Ji He returned to the Blue Camp.

"Instructor, where is the Red Team's headquarters?"

"seabed."

Cheng Zhi nodded, thinking that it was not easy for General Huo Yingzhan to use his troops like a god and fight the most beautiful battle with the least number of soldiers. His respect for him increased even more.

The Federation Army rarely held banquets. One reason was that in the interstellar age, nutritional supplements were the main food supply, and the other was that it was difficult to gather many people together.

"Everyone stand up."

Admiral Huo Yingzhan, wearing a commander's uniform, picked up a wine glass and analyzed the significance of this exercise.

Then the dinner officially began, and there was actually seafood on the folding table. Although it was not grilled, the fresh fish and shellfish steamed had a unique flavor.

The transparent turntable in front of me keeps spinning, with oysters, lobsters, abalone, and even live octopus on it. I wonder which brave man dares to eat them raw.

Li Ran's frustration was alleviated by the delicious food. He looked at Instructor Ji and asked, "Instructor, what exactly did my brother give you?"

Alpha looked in the direction Instructor Ji was looking and it seemed to be Colonel Huo.

The next second, Ji He retracted his gaze and asked, "Did Li Lie give me anything?"

"I gave it to the colonel. Didn't he give it to you?" Li Ran said, reaching out and picking up a palm-sized mussel.

Ji He shook his head and replied, "Maybe I forgot."

Colonel Huo was sitting in a seat further forward, holding a glass of wine, toasting Colonel Claude of the Blue Camp.

The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

"You are going to take over your old man's job."

"Yu Bai doesn't deserve it."

"Hey, are your kids dating?"

As soon as Colonel Claude said this, the military dinner instantly turned into a family quarrel. Huo Yubai looked at his grandfather and replied calmly, "Not yet."

"What kind do you like? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

General Huo walked up to Huo Yubai with a wine bottle in his hand, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "That's not something you need to worry about, Colonel."

"You are such an old-fashioned person, you must be planning a marriage. Times have changed. You should respect your children's opinions."

Huo Yingzhan felt that he respected his child's opinion too much, which was why he allowed that rebellious son to bring a Beta with no family background into the family.

Now he only has two poor children, Yu Bai and Ling Yue, so he is naturally more cautious about the marriage of his younger generation.

“I like people who are tough, brave and persistent.”

"That doesn't sound like an Omega." Colonel Claude took a sip of his wine and continued to ask, "What does he look like?"

"Whiter, thinner, and smells nice."

Admiral Huo behind Huo Yubai nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was talking about Min Ran.

After listening to such a detailed description, Gu Chaowen cast a suspicious look at his iron tree that had not bloomed for hundreds of years.
