After the collaboration was finalized, Mr. Wang also granted Xu Fan a special license.
It is possible to access the military procurement channels of Xia Guo Research Base.
If you need any materials, just tell Tong Yao and he will handle the coordination.
Materials obtained through this channel are free of charge; the government covers the costs.
Xu Fan's eyes lit up even more; this was practically a risk-free business opportunity.
As expected of the national team, their wealth is inhuman!
The only request is to visit Xu Fan's R&D and manufacturing workshop in a couple of days.
Xu Fan agreed without hesitation; the customer is king.
After having a quick meal at the Research Base and exchanging contact information with a group of people, Xu Fan left the base in the middle of the day.
He returned to his abandoned factory.
Looking at everything familiar in front of me.
Xu Fan smiled.
Jiangtian No. 1 will be delivered tonight; we need to purchase the materials first.
The beam weapons and certain special materials required for the dragoon system are under strict control, which is why they weren't installed before.
A densely packed list of materials was sent to Tong Yao.
The other party said there was no problem and that most of the materials could be delivered within an hour.
Xu Fan replied with 666.
...
Southern Military Region Division Headquarters.
As soon as Li Guozhong returned, the military exercise mobilization, which had been prepared in advance, began.
In a lecture hall that can accommodate a thousand people.
The venue was packed, and almost everyone with badges on their shoulders was there.
Li Guozhong entered through the main entrance with the Guard.
Everyone stand up and applaud!
"Splash—"
The enthusiastic applause was like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next.
Seeing the excitement and enthusiasm on his subordinates' faces, Li Guozhong felt an inexplicable weight on his shoulders.
Previous military exercises in Southeast Asia.
The Southern Military Region suffered three consecutive defeats at the hands of the Eastern Military Region.
Three defeats left the officers and soldiers of eight modern armored combined arms divisions in the Southern Military Region utterly disheartened.
Every time these division commanders went to a meeting at the Southeast United Army headquarters, the other side would make sarcastic remarks about this matter.
Putting aside everything else, Old Kong's attitude alone is just too damn arrogant!
This time, the task of the exercise fell to Li Guozhong, the commander of the new type of armored combined arms division.
Li Guozhong carried the hopes of eight divisions and more than 80,000 men in the Southern Military Region.
We can't afford to lose again, or I'll be too ashamed to face anyone.
soldier.
It's okay to bleed, it's okay to die.
We absolutely cannot lose!
Li Guozhong listened to the thunderous applause that continued for a long time.
He knew that the soldiers trusted him from the bottom of their hearts.
You could see the soldiers' eagerness for victory in this military exercise just by looking into their clear eyes.
Li Guozhong took the stage with the operations staff of the Division Headquarters.
He faced all the officers in the hall.
He gently raised his hand to signal that the applause should stop.
He then spoke loudly into the microphone,
"Soldiers, the military exercise will begin in two days."
"The background of this exercise is different from the past. It is an urban assault, and we play the role of the defensive side, the Blue Army."
"The exercise location has been set at the newly built Southeast Military Exercise Base."
"..."
"We have been defeated three times in a row!"
" We share the glory and shame of the Southern Military Region. As soldiers of the Eighth Marine Armored Composite Division, we have endured three humiliating defeats!"
"This time, we will take back the honor we lost."
"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail!"
"I'd rather die taking one step forward than live taking one step back!"
"Our Blue Team will win this exercise!"
"Do you have confidence!?"
As Li Guozhong's voice fell, the entire audience of over a thousand people raised their arms and cheered.
"have!"
"The Blues will win!"
"The Blues will win!!"
"..."
The shouts were deafening, almost enough to lift the roof off the hall.
Everyone was filled with enthusiasm, their eyes were resolute, and they were all holding their breath with determination.
Why did the Eastern Military Region win three times in a row?!
This time, let our 8th Marine Division reclaim the face that the Southern Military Region has lost.
We cannot lose.
If we lose, the 8th Marine Division is a sinner in the Southern Military Region!
After the others finished speaking.
The mobilization meeting was a complete success.
Li Guozhong brought all the staff officers and brigade-level personnel to the Division Headquarters operations discussion room.
Although the slogans were shouted loudly, the faces of the staff officers were not very good.
"Staff Officer Yang, you're an expert in urban warfare, why don't you go first?"
"Commander, it's not that I'm trying to boost the enemy's morale and diminish our own, but we've really had a terrible time this time!" The thin Staff Officer Yang pushed up his glasses slightly, his face drooping.
"Why? Explain yourself." Li Guozhong frowned.
"In this military exercise, Red Force is the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Eastern Military Region. They have collaborated with the Eastern Research Institute to develop a new type of exoskeleton armor, which is particularly suitable for use in urban warfare!"
Staff Officer Yang shook his head and sighed.
"As far as I know, more than 100 of those exoskeleton armors have already been mass-produced. It's too difficult for us to defend against that kind of thing in high-rise buildings!"
"Indeed, our tanks are too impractical for urban warfare! And to make matters worse, we were drawn as the defenders this time, what bad luck!"
Brigade Commander Xu, standing to the side, clenched his fist and sighed.
After they finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Only two people who had previously accompanied Li Guozhong to the Research Base remained expressionless, and upon hearing about the exoskeleton armor, their eyes even held a hint of disdain.
Li Guozhong's expression remained completely calm throughout.
Seeing that no one was speaking anymore.
Li Guozhong suddenly said,
"Gentlemen, the battle hasn't even started yet, and you're already afraid?"
"Commander, it's not that we're scared, it's just that we're really unlucky, and that exoskeleton armor they have does sound terrifying."
Staff Officer Yang gritted his teeth,
"If we had exoskeleton armor, we wouldn't be afraid of them!"
"Staff Officer Yang!"
Li Guozhong walked to Staff Officer Yang's side with his hands behind his back and said meaningfully.
"They have exoskeleton armor, do you think we don't have any secret weapons?"
"??"
Staff Officer Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.
The staff officers, brigade commanders, and regimental commanders standing nearby all turned to look at Li Guozhong.
Li Guozhong didn't continue along the previous line of conversation. Instead, he suddenly stood up straight and said seriously,
"This operation is special. I have already formulated the operation plan. To prevent leaks, I will directly issue the operation tasks to each department before the operation begins."
"The troops will depart early tomorrow morning and move into the Southeast Military Exercise City!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"..."
Everyone stood at attention and saluted.
However, the doubt in their eyes did not diminish. What exactly was the division commander up to?
He seems very confident.
But what secret weapon could they possibly have to counter 100 enemy exoskeleton armors?
It's better if I don't come to meetings; I get even more confused when I do.
Hopefully, the teachers didn't just make up this secret weapon out of thin air to comfort people!
It was late at night.
Inside an abandoned factory in Zhonghai City.
Various materials were categorized and piled up around the perimeter.
Jiangtian No. 1 was parked in the distance.
The ultra-deep technology workbench rumbles and hums.
The 10 robotic arms swung in a dazzling display.
The clanging sounds of mechanical friction and impact, and the clattering sounds of laser welding, rose and fell in succession.
After upgrading to level 2, the workbench became more complete and took up more space.
The production speed is much faster than the previous lv1.
Apart from consuming 1000 technology points, everything else made Xu Fan very satisfied.
This new mech has some differences in appearance and weapons, and it also consumes 900 technology points.
I only have 2300 technology points left.
To fulfill his father's last wish and create the deep-sea submersible, he needs at least another 5,000 technology points.
This military exercise is a great opportunity to capitalize on the shock and should generate a lot of shock, which can be converted into a massive amount of technology points.
Xu Fan didn't go home that night; he spent the night on a small wooden bed in the storeroom.
Tong Yao said that the materials for manufacturing laser weapons and the dragoon system are on their way and may arrive in the middle of the night.
Xu Fan could only fall asleep to the roar of the super god technology Workbench.
At 5 a.m. the next day, it was still dark.
A crisp notification sound rang out.
[ Crimson Sky No. 2 completed]
Xu Fan looked at the newly completed mecha, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
A feeling of eagerness rose within me.
Why don't we go for a walk before dawn?
