Inside The Black Mist Chapter 21: Cutting down

Sky Fort, the military command center.

In fact, the military department is just a general name, and its real name is [United Legion Unified Management Department].

As the recorder of the military department, Cheng Xin feels that his heart is undergoing a great test today.

Originally, the boss told him that there would be an important meeting in the command center, but the recorder thought it was just a daily meeting.

But seeing a group of colleagues, including the boss, leaving the command hall one after another, he realized that today's meeting is definitely not easy.

As a result, Wade, the old minister of the Strategy Department, walked in. This old man with a quarter of Westland blood, although he is just an ordinary person, he has a lot of power. Between looking and looking, it makes people tremble with fear.

As soon as the veteran with white beard and hair walked into the command hall, Cheng Xin suddenly wondered if the central air conditioner had failed, otherwise why would there be a scorching hot breath in the air.

Fortunately, the old man didn't look at him, and walked straight to a circular multifunctional electronic desk in the center of the hall. Then, among the only five seats, choose one to sit down.

Before Cheng Xin had time to catch his breath, a fresh scent of flowers poured into his nose. Close your eyes, as if you can see the scene of snow covered and plum blossoms in full bloom.

Then the sound of rhythmic footsteps made the recorder couldn't help but look at the door.

A tall woman came in from the door, her long black hair parted in the middle danced lightly in the air, and her cold and gorgeous face made the recorder forget to breathe for a moment.

But then, the dark purple uniform on the woman's body and the golden stars on her shoulders made Cheng Xin's heart beat wildly again.

Because she is the general of the Storm Legion, she has a noble status, but she is still unwilling to choose a strange woman with a surname for herself, Feimei!

The female general with light make-up swept across the hall. When her eyes flicked inadvertently, the recorder felt a chill all over her body, as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar.

Although he has grown up so big, he has never seen a real world of ice and snow.

Fei Mei sat opposite to Old Wade, who looked up, nodded slightly, and was busy typing something into a communicator.

"Old guy, what is the matter, you want to call us here. Don't you know, I'm very busy."

A loud voice sounded from outside the hall door, and then a figure squeezed in from the door.

Exactly.

Yes squeeze!

Even though he is no longer young, his burly body still makes many young people feel ashamed. Nightcrawler's long black uniform was casually draped over his body, acting as a pitch-black cloak.

The old man with a blindfold on his right eye and a mechanical arm on his left hand is the commander of Nightcrawler, Su Yan.

He sat next to Fei Mei carelessly, tsk-tsk said: "The longer the little girl is, the more beautiful she is. Why don't you consider Ling Feng, I think the two of you are a good match."

A rare look of helplessness flashed across Fei Mei's face: "Commander Chu, don't waste your energy, I never thought about getting married."

Xu Yan sighed: "You are so outstanding that no man can match you. But Feimei, a girl has to find a home, otherwise, she will be very lonely in the future."

Old Wade on the opposite side raised his head and sneered: "You, Su Yan, are nosy."

Xu Yan snorted through his nostrils: "It's better than your old man who is calculating people all day long."

The recorder not far away shrank back, fearing that the two would quarrel.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The fourth person who walked in through the gate was much younger than the two veterans, a middle-aged man less than fifty years old.

Wearing the black and blue uniform of the city guard [Iron Wall], gloves, military boots, and gun holsters, they are neatly dressed and meticulous.

The recorder feels like he is about to faint. This is Cao Gang, the commander of Iron Wall. In addition to his words, then in the power pyramid of the fortress, all the big figures on the second step are here.

Cao just took his seat and looked at old Wade: "The city lord can't come because he has something to do. Minister Wade, we can start now."

Old Wade hummed: "Before the meeting, I would like to ask everyone to watch some clips."

He activated a control interface on the smooth desktop, tapped his finger, and a set of holographic images appeared above the table.

In it, a nightcrawler squad can be seen fighting.

Xu Yan snorted: "That's our Raven Squad, aren't they going to recover the Star Marrow Pillar? Why did they have a fight with the Prowler..."

Old Wade said slowly: "On the way to the lighthouse base, I encountered a small group of prowlers, and they are currently cleaning up."

Xu Yan asked suspiciously: "Old man, why did you show us? Also, who is shooting?"

Old Wade replied: "One of my subordinates, I asked him to participate in this operation. He brought a storm squad, General Fei Mei should know."

Fei Mei nodded: "I've read the report, it says it's a test of the actual combat performance of the 5th generation of armed forces."

"That's right..." In the holographic screen, a fifth-generation shooting-type three-dimensional armed force passed nearby. As the screen zoomed in, it could be seen that the three-dimensional armed force was shooting at another group of prowlers.

The Minister of Strategy glanced at the communicator: "Unfortunately, there are still prowlers nearby. But it doesn't matter, judging from the performance of this fifth-generation armed force, it is no problem to annihilate those black people."

Sure enough, it took only 3 minutes for the 5th generation armed to clean up a group of around 300 prowlers.

Screen stops playing.

Xu Yan seemed to feel something, and his tone became colder: "Old man, what do you mean."

"It's nothing, I just want everyone to feel the power of technology."

Old Wade spread his hands, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "As you can see, it took about 5 minutes for the Raven Squad to wipe out less than a hundred Prowlers; and the Storm Squad only sent one Armed, not only wiped out more dark people, but also took less time."

"Next, let's compare the costs. As we all know, sublimators...even the low-level sublimators are also big money suckers. According to incomplete statistics, the resources we invest in these sublimators every year, Enough to produce 300 5th generation weapons."

"A total of three hundred units, and they can be repaired, parts can be replaced, and the service life can be at least ten or eight years. Let's look at the sublimators. Ten?"

Fei Mei shook her head: "No, on average, there are about 10.5 newly awakened sublimators every year."

Old Wade slapped the table with his palm: "It's not wrong, there are only less than 11. And they consume too many resources, and the battle damage rate is not low. The most important thing is that the investment in them is not one time sexual, but persistent.”

"Think about it, everyone. If the same resources are used to mass-produce three-dimensional weapons. Ten years later, the three-dimensional weapons of the Storm Legion can exceed 3,000 units. What kind of armed force will it be?"

Xu Yan snorted: "Old Wade, just say what you want to say."

Old Wade cleared his throat, stood up and said: "I want to say that the resources invested by the sublimators are not proportional to their contributions. Of course, I am not saying that they are useless. But, can you think about it properly? We may be able to slightly reduce the investment in sublimators, and then use these resources in more appropriate positions!"

The air in the command hall suddenly froze, and the recorder's hand hovered over the electronic board. He didn't dare to record this sentence.
