"If he attacks from here, we can sink to point A and cover the flanks with firepower."
Lancer Xu's fingers were tapping on the 3D touch screen. He was reviewing the tactical process of the White Tiger Knights led by the Grand Commander to defeat a Gaia combined fleet half a year ago. It was very much like playing a game.
In this way, he understood the grand commander's tactical style on the battlefield.
"Oops! The bombardment energy is insufficient!" He shouted.
He did all this in his spare time. He applied to Director Chen to write less reports, but the director's expression was very reluctant. His colleagues were all talking and laughing now, preparing to have lunch, but he was still thinking hard. "Xiao Xu, you are still working hard, don't you want to eat?" A good-looking Chinese female secretary in her thirties reminded him in a friendly manner, giving off a motherly feeling.
"I'm afraid I can only eat whatever I want for lunch." Lancer pointed to some bread on the table.
"Big news! Anishka, the flower of logistics, is going to commit suicide by jumping off a building!" A young officer who looked like an Australian suddenly burst into the door and shouted.
"Everyone, go and see it!"
I don’t know who shouted again, and everyone quickly rushed out to watch the show.
Maybe it was because his work was so boring, even Lancer couldn't help but follow the crowd and run to watch the fun.
Ukrainian-born Anishka's blond hair shone in the midday sun, and her long legs sprayed with skin-friendly sol stockings trembled across the silver-white railing. Lancer and a large group of general staff members held their heads high and stood on the lower floor.
The opposite platform watched her perform suicide on the terrace of a high-rise restaurant.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"I was dumped by a scumbag."
"It seems that just now I was crying that there was too much work, the rent was too expensive, and I couldn't survive."
"She can't survive, what should we do!"
There were a lot of people talking at once. The onlookers also released mobile self-timers in their wristbands and circled around the long-legged blond beauty in a light brown uniform like giant bees, taking a large number of videos and photos from all angles.
, all click on the 3D touch interface projected on the wristband, and are busy uploading public social media. In today's era, traffic and likes can be directly transferred to luna.
"Absurd." Lancer Xu looked up at the soft and delicate profile of the mixed-race child and murmured to himself, feeling that this picture was too funny.
"Don't jump, don't jump, we can discuss things easily."
Leaders and leaders came to persuade them, and it took a long time to make a fuss. The building automatically lowered itself to support the protective net. Finally, the tearful female secretary decided to step off the high platform, safe and sound. p>
"I promised to give her a raise."
"Salary increase, salary increase!"
"A child who can cry really has milk to eat..."
Everyone dispersed in confusion, and there were also a few mixed-race young female officers who looked like traffic stars at ordinary times. They were very satisfied with the income from likes on their videos and hurriedly transferred money.
What a farce! Lancer kept muttering in his heart, laughing so hard - this kind of inefficient bureaucracy doesn't even know what it is busy with all day long, and it will only waste time.
The farce came and went quickly, and the spectators dispersed as if they were careless. Lancer stood alone by the wall of a huge transparent floor-to-ceiling bed, overlooking part of the semi-fan-shaped structure of the entire huge General Staff Headquarters.<
/p>
"The army is used to feed people, not to fight."
Suddenly, the words that my grandfather often said during his lifetime rang in my ears. Grandpa Xu’s appearance seemed very elegant, not like a soldier. In his early years, he worked on the interstellar frontline under heavy gunfire and bullets for three years. In the following decades, even his descendants were working in the military.
There is a mouthful of rice mixed in.
What kind of system are we in?
Lancer Xu looked at the endless buildings belonging to the General Staff Headquarters and other military departments, as well as all kinds of official spacecraft that were busy going back and forth.
Wouldn’t such a huge system wipe out all the dreams of an aspiring young man?
How insignificant he is when he is just a screw!
The Gaia army is like a giant beast, or a towering tree with extremely developed root systems and crowns. The general staff alone has a formal establishment of millions of people, and tens of millions of non-staff and joint units. Lancer
I am becoming more and more convinced of a conspiracy theory book I recently read, "Platos Gave Us Bread and Circuses." The book writes that due to the highly developed science and technology, there are no more jobs in traditional industries. In fact, the United Government of Gaia
The war with the Platons for nearly five centuries has consumed an excessive number of employed people, and it is Gaia’s top elites who are really making the money, so this war will never end. Every peace agreement between the two sides is initiated by the Gaians.
Breaking, without exception. Later, the Platos directly declared infinite war, and no longer had any intention of negotiating peace with the Gaians.
Gaia's entire army, military industry and mining system feeds 28 billion people - almost all Gaians are related to this system. In fact, the Platonic elite system has streamlined its army. The so-called "Four Horsemen", for example
In the Gaia system, the military rank was as high as that of a general (it may have been greatly reduced after the passage of the Military Expansion Act in 2664 of the Gaia era), but in Plato, it was able to rank among the highest military elites. Gaia folk joked that "the general is like a general in the Star City"
"The dog runs away" is the best portrayal of the "redundant army" system of Gaia's entire society.
"It turns out that logistics mistakenly loaded some of the artillery energy blocks."
Lancer continued to work hard in the afternoon, while others in other positions were chatting and laughing about Anishka.
"What's the point of fighting!" Lancer scratched his dark curly hair with his hands, feeling very irritable inside.
The sloppiness and confusion of many previous battle plans made him suspect that the real job of the General Staff was to mislead the front line and let the Gaians kill the Platons, rather than the "decision millions of light years away" as they boasted. p>
The rapid growth of the population at the bottom of Mangxing City cannot be suppressed. Sexually transmitted diseases have been eliminated. The "War Orphans Act" has been passed. The government will raise all orphans. As a result, many prostitutes and extramarital affairs have no measures to take. Countless mixed-race children have been created and sent away.
Entering the grassroots level of the army to serve as cannon fodder was what helped Kalki's rapid promotion. It all relied on Gaia's weak army to send experience. He calculated that Kalki had been plundering mining company bases and transport fleets and destroying the military since he was 24 years old.
In various battles such as the base, the fleet he led killed at least nearly 3 million Gaians. This is likely to be the result of the Gaian government's intentional actions.
But why should he be captured suddenly?——This question is deeply rooted in Lancer's heart.
Before finding the answer to this question, he collected all the information he could find and simulated battles commanded by Kalki to try to figure out his combat style.
Genius! So hard!
After simulating the Pegasus G-524 battle, the White Tiger Knights made full use of the interstellar environment. After using the asteroid belt as a cover for the assault, they then used a natural star gate to escape when they were at a disadvantage. This was a very risky behavior.
It is even called a taboo in interstellar warfare, but Kalki had fixed the space-time guidance with superconducting materials in advance, escaped before the Gaia fleet thought it had won, and reappeared in the shooting blind spot to attack, taking Gaia, who thought it had a chance of victory,
The fleet was caught off guard.
"Let's fight back! Using the natural star gate... it's just a waste of life!"
Lancer marveled at Kalki's cunning and bravery. His reputation as "Plato's First Warrior" was well-deserved. The "Darjeeling Plan" was to capture the greatest frontline commander in human history.
And warriors, no, no, no, Platos are not human beings. 20 years ago, the federal government of Gaia, which has a plethora of laws, passed legislation classifying Platos as a "race between aliens and humans". No matter how much he has achieved,
The high military achievements have been eliminated from the human race.
Kalki is so bold, so imaginative, and so aggressive - on the other hand, although the Gaia army strives to upgrade the technology of weapons and warships, there are no enterprising generals, and escaping the enemy's pursuit is their top priority.
Heavy, or blindly defensive, the mentality of the entire army has become mercenary.
"Isn't he afraid that everyone, including himself, will disappear? This man is a bit of a gambler. Either he loses everything, or he loses everything..." Lancer said to himself, completely ignoring that his colleagues were all off work.
Stay alone in the office.
When he was inspired, he simply devoted himself to formulating a battle plan, which was much more interesting than the boring things like analyzing various intelligence, writing reports and holding meetings.
He began to watch the last battle for the NGC 2547 base when the commander of the regiment fought. Although that battle made him worried, he was able to overcome his inner fear while working selflessly.
He watched the simulated routes of the White Tiger Knights' air and land battles that day over and over again.
In a sense, Lancer felt that he had to thank these useless troops for giving Kalki a sense of self-importance and underestimation of the enemy. He rushed into the base alone, and he also ordered his fighter planes to bombard the reactor energy room from the outside.
If he makes a mistake, he will blow himself and everyone to pieces. In the 12 years of fighting against Gaia's army, he seems to have forgotten everything.
The Grand Leader has absolutely no inhibitions, it’s so crazy. People won’t always be so lucky. Lancer thought so.
He did not believe that such an arrogant character could ever win, and Lancer continued to watch the simulation of certain tactical intentions over and over again.
He sometimes wonders why in an era when artificial intelligence is involved in so much military staff work, staff members are still needed? As Polybius[1] said, "For a general, the most important thing is to understand
The opponent's character and behavior... rashness, recklessness, recklessness, vanity, and blind arrogance. These character flaws can be well exploited. Generals with these flaws can easily fall into the trap... Therefore, understand the enemy's mind and be good at using it.
The generals who are the best can often achieve decisive victories." The artificial intelligence staff system can make precise deployment and strategic arrangements, but it cannot "see the enemy's mind".
In terms of the most basic military principle of "know your enemy, know what he will do and what he will not do." Artificial intelligence is still unable to guess people's hearts on the battlefield, which is why space wars still have staff officers.
, because only one person can understand another person.
Lancer is understanding Kalki. Only by understanding him deeply can we catch him.
The whole building was in silence at night. When he was the last one to leave the late-night staff information room, Lancer Xu used a photon pen to write four Chinese characters vertically on the ion display screen:
A soldier never tires of deceit.
Plato's star is a blue planet, with more than 70% of it being oceanic. This is intentionally imitating the characteristics of the old earth. Just like everything about Plato, it carries a kind of attachment to the past glory of mankind.
The same circle form as the Atlantis civilization. The eight circles symbolize the "Eight Continents". The higher the social level of the Platons, the closer the circle is to the core. The huge island in the center is the temple area.
Known as "Potalaka", Plato's political center is located here. Although there is an artificial intelligence system as the main manager, in order to manage a population of more than 4 billion, there are still 100,000 people at all levels of the bureaucracy.
Managers work in the "official office" area to assist in management.
The morning sun slowly spreads, and the bright and fresh morning light shines on the "Purple Palace" in the center of Putuo Luojia, with rows of towering white columns. "Purple" is the noblest color in the ancient political tradition, because Plato's court language is often mixed with ancient
In Persian vocabulary, this huge palace complex in the center of Putuologa is called "Banafoch Palace" (banafs), which comes from the Persian word "purple".
This palace complex is extremely magnificent and huge, with many exquisite buildings in a row, covering an area of 800,000 square kilometers. Just when the Gaians built the largest modern city in human history, Star City, they loved retroism.
The Platos built the most gorgeous and magnificent palace complex in human history.
When the Gaians were killing and driving away the nasty beasts on the planet when the city was first established, the Platos strictly prohibited even quarrying, fearing that large-scale mining of stone would have a negative impact on the planet's environment.
Using high-tech synthesis to create "patta jade" (patta) to build palaces, these are two completely opposite groups of people!
"Pata Jade" is extremely flawless and meticulous, a stone similar to mutton-fat jade, but very light and easy to build. This makes Plato's palaces shine like crystal palaces in the sun. This beauty is reflected in the blue sea and green
The vegetation is as beautiful as a dream, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as a "wonderland".
A group of White Tiger fighter jets faced the morning light, flew low over the blue sea, and flew towards the Palace of White Foch.
The leader of the fighter plane is Captain Kalki, who is riding astride in space armor. His armor reflects extremely dazzling light, majestic and powerful, as awe-inspiring as a god coming to the world.
Many official spaceships of different shapes took off from various corners of Plato, all flying to the central sacred area "Putaloka".
Today is the most important plenary meeting of the Senate every month. Every month, the grand leader, as one of the "seven political affairs", must attend and participate.
In other words, Chalky has to go to Plato's Senate for a meeting.
