Chapter 780, Bloodthirsty Shark
The Alliance's Space Marine training mechanism is actually quite clear.
The most important one is the 'Space Marine Training Base', also known as the New Blood Base.
The New Blood Base will select young people from all over the alliance and train them there. The location of the base is not fixed and will be different for each period.
The training period is generally about one year.
This process is actually the process in which Gu Hang uses the gift points to conduct screening and training.
After the training, the Space Marines will receive different gene seed implantation surgeries according to their different personalities, talents, and preferences. In fact, there are only four options. The best talents will go to Phoenix and Yellow Spring Gull; the most explosive personalities will go to Blood Shark; the calmest will go to Dragon King's Spear; the rest will receive the "Secondary Infinite Gene Seed" and go to Fury and New World Torch.
All the new recruits for the four regiments that are most under the control of the Alliance, namely the Phoenix, Yellow Spring Gull, New World Torch, and Raging Flame, all come from the New Blood Base.
Blood Shark and Dragon King's Spear are a little different. They both have their own home planets. Although they are under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, the Alliance respects their chapter traditions. If they want to recruit soldiers from the local area, that's fine.
They also tried to recruit soldiers on their own, but the Alliance did not impose any restrictions or set any obstacles.
However, they soon gave up.
Humans are lazy, and so are the Emperor's angels.
It takes a lot of time and effort to recruit soldiers on your own, and it costs a lot of money, but the success rate of the operation is not guaranteed; even if a few are successful, the quality of them is just so-so.
In the past, it was natural that the quality of new recruits was low. Otherwise, it was unrealistic to expect the new blood who had just become Space Marines to have the combat effectiveness of veterans. No matter how harsh the warband is, people always have to have time to grow.
However, ever since accepting the new blood provided by the Alliance, this 'primitive' method of recruiting new soldiers has become too unbearable.
The surgery success rate they provide is high, over 95%; the quality is high, almost plug-and-play, even without veterans, the level is almost the same; the probability of producing elites is also high, and those with particularly outstanding strength can quickly stand out and become the backbone of the entire regiment.
After enjoying these treatments, who could still bear to go through the trouble of getting new blood?
In the past, the conservatives in the Dragon King's Spear and the Blood Shark could still make a voice to ask the regiment to reduce the proportion of new blood accepted by the alliance. But as the concentration of alliance members in the regiment became higher and higher, and now more than 40% of them are alliance members, the complete alliance of the entire regiment can no longer be stopped.
In these two chapters, the upward channel for the Alliance members has been opened.
Xie Hong is one of the best among them.
He was one of the earliest allied members to join the Blood Shark Regiment. He participated in the late stage of the Iron Armor War and made a name for himself in a very short time.
However, at the beginning, the conservative faction within the Blood Shark was still quite large. Xie Hong's promotion within the regiment was not smooth. He had a very good record in battle and showed a cold and fierce command ability, which was very consistent with the tone of the Blood Shark regiment, but he could not be promoted. After a long time, he was just an ordinary non-commissioned officer with ten people under him.
It was not until the ceiling within the Blood Shark Regiment was removed that he soared to become the captain of the 9th Company.
In his company, 90% of the members are from the Alliance.
This time, coming to Wuji Star to carry out a mission was his first time leading a team as a company commander, and he was determined to fight sharply and beautifully.
They arrived at the nearest location in a car with seventy soldiers. After the driver opened fire and swept the nearby enemies, they all quickly got out of the car and ran towards the nearest enemy.
The grenade launcher in his hand roared, and the enemies in front of him were immediately cleared out.
Then, they ran into a mixed team of Space Marines.
The number of people on both sides was similar, and they met the enemy head-on suddenly.
After a brief exchange of gunfire, the two sides engaged in close combat.
The blood sharks took out various ferocious melee weapons such as power axes, chain axes, and Thor's hammer, and started a killing spree in silence and coldly.
Xie Hong went to the front line in person, and the jet pack behind him quickly sent him into the enemy group. Most of the bombs flying in the sky missed, and the most dangerous one was a beam from a plasma gun. He observed the shooter and at the critical moment, before the shooter pulled the trigger, he raised his head and avoided the shot that would have killed him.
If you don't want to kill me, then you can just wait to die!
He raised his hand and fired a precise explosive bullet, which hit his hand and destroyed the plasma gun - a direct shot might not be fatal.
Bolters are so powerful that they can leave no intact limbs on a normal person; using armor-piercing bullets, they can even destroy some light vehicles. However, in the Space Marine Civil War, the firepower of bolters cannot guarantee the kill of the enemy unless a large number of bullets are fired intensively, making the armor unable to withstand it.
Xie Hong, who was running forward at high speed, had no need to use the grenade launcher at all.
After entering the enemy group, he can use the enemy's bodies as cover.
As for himself, he held a finely crafted chainsaw axe and a power sword in both hands, and was almost invincible among the enemy group.
No one can stand up to him. He seems to be unstoppable, but his brutal attacks are always one step ahead of others.
If you kill the enemy first, then you don't have to dodge his swords and knives, right?
It seemed reckless, but in fact, the more rage he felt, the colder his judgment became.
When he killed the seventh enemy, he finally encountered a slightly challenging opponent.
At this time, the field was mostly empty. The blood sharks were best at this kind of sudden surprise attack. Their cold and ruthless attack destroyed the enemy in a very short time.
The main reason was that their opponents were not prepared for such a severe challenge, and should not have been so easily attacked in close combat by the blood shark.
Any other regiment in the world, with the same number of soldiers, would find it difficult to withstand the blood shark's hard attack.
Including those start-up groups, they are not much better.
If the group is a little less capable, twice the number of people will be overwhelmed.
This group at the moment is exactly what this means.
The last person standing in front of Xie Hong seemed to be the champion captain of a certain regiment. He knew that the situation was irreversible, and in despair and anger, he picked up his sword and went after Xie Hong, who was obviously the strongest.
Even if I am dying, even if it means one for one, I must kill him before I die and use him as a scapegoat.
But at this time, Xie Hong changed his previous fierce attitude and played relatively conservatively.
After a few moves, the champion company commander suddenly felt a pain in his waist.
It was a precise sniper bullet that hit the armor around his waist.
Failed to penetrate the armor, but the pain was inevitable.
He felt something was wrong, thinking that Xie Hong would take advantage of this moment to launch an attack, which would be really difficult to deal with.
But he saw that the tough opponent took several steps back.
Instead, he became even more desperate - at this moment, at least thirty grenade launchers were pointed at him, mixed with several plasma beams.
He subconsciously danced with his sword, trying to block the bullets. But no one was there to share his cover, and without cover, no matter how skilled he was at swordsmanship, he could not remain intact under the concentrated fire of more than thirty Space Marines.
He could only endure the continuous injuries and try to find an opponent to save his life.
But his attempt was ultimately thwarted by an explosion from the side of a hot melt gun.
It was not until this time that Xie Hong took a few steps forward. After confirming the target's death, he coldly gave orders in the channel to keep moving forward.
If you can gang up on someone and shoot them like a hornet's nest, why do you have to fight alone?
In this battle, more than sixty enemy Space Marines were killed, and eleven of our own men were killed.
It's an exaggerated exchange ratio.
But the subsequent battles were relatively difficult.
The Space Marines are still strong, and their reactions are very fast.
The reputation of the blood sharks also became known during the Iron Armor War. Everyone knows that this group of bloodthirsty sharks are very difficult to deal with.
The remaining more than one hundred Space Marines quickly built some fortifications around the buildings inside the Wuji Palace, raised heavy firepower, and adopted a flexible defense method. With the cooperation of the elite auxiliary army, the crossfire was well set up, and they looked determined not to fight the blood sharks at close range.
Once the blood sharks get close, they will decisively let the elite members of the Sun Guard cover the retreat, while they will retreat with the main force to the next defense node.
Through this method, layers of resistance, Xie Hong's advance was finally blocked.
In the subsequent battle, they killed about twenty enemy space warriors, and the casualties of Yinbashim's elite guards were not counted. But the blood sharks also suffered twelve casualties.
The casualty ratio is not as exaggerated as before.
If we force our way in, he might have less than fifty men left, and even if we kill them all, we can still win.
But a tragic victory was obviously not the result he wanted.
He could only suppress his restless mentality and wait for backup.
He is not really alone.
As a result of waiting, Marchand arrived.
Although the two of them had a little verbal quarrel, when it came down to work, the two old classmates still knew each other's abilities.
During the training at the New Blood Base, although Xie Hong was very outstanding at that time, his overall performance was not as good as Marchand.
Generally speaking, the best of the new blood will go to Phoenix and Yellow Spring. Among them, Marchand was able to be promoted to captain so quickly, which shows his level.
With a sigh, it depends on how Marchand fights this battle.
But this does not mean that the blood shark is going to leave the stage.
These fifty men of his were still the sharpest of knives. When the opportunity arose, they would be able to deal the most fatal blow to the enemy.
After a while, Huang Quanou's 100 warriors lined up and launched an attack...

I have a train ticket back to my hometown tomorrow. I may not have access to a computer to write every day after I get back, so I can only find time to write.
The subsequent updates may be a bit unstable... Please forgive me~
Everything will be back to normal after returning from the Spring Festival holiday.
