Taking up arms and going to the front line is not called participating in a war. The more modern the war, the more countless people are serving the war in the rear far away from the war.
The war machine of the Alan Hill Empire includes the intelligence department, the analysis department, and of course the technology department, production department and so on.
Even the obstetrics and gynecology department in the hospital is serving the entire war. Their daily work is to increase the population of the Alan Hill Empire, so that the empire can maintain population growth even in the state of war, and even achieve rapid population growth.
In the busy analysis department, the staff are busy in front of their computers. Compared with the dark basement headquarters, this place is like a paradise, but for the people working here, this place is also a battlefield, an important battlefield.
"The puppet battle robot unit should be used as little as possible on the front line. They are not very flexible, and the losses are too great." An analyst pointed to the just-calculated losses on the computer screen, and said to his colleagues.
The analyst sitting next to him touched his chin with his hand, stared at the number on it for a while, nodded in agreement and said: "This kind of loss is indeed greater than previously estimated. When we use puppets on the front line, we should be more cautious." .”
Previously, the high-level military of the Alan Hill Empire believed that the use of puppet robots could effectively reduce the casualties of front-line soldiers.
The staff believes that under effective firepower suppression, the disadvantages of the slightly cumbersome puppet robots will not be highlighted, because in the previous wars of the Alan Hill Empire, the tasks performed by the light infantry were often basically the same as cleaning the battlefield. What a difference.
Under the suppression of the joint firepower of missile artillery bombers, the enemy basically did not even have the courage to resist, and surrender became the only choice.
In the face of these surrendered enemies, using puppet robot soldiers to clear the custody is actually quite sufficient, and there is no need to use precious personnel to perform similar tasks.
But now it seems that the war with the Guardians is obviously much more cruel, and the previous combat experience of the Alan Hill Empire is completely insufficient, so the loss of the puppet troops has also greatly exceeded expectations.
The enemy's firepower is also very fierce, and can suppress the long-range support firepower of the Alan Hill Empire to a certain extent. This forced the battle puppet robot to face the sweepers alone, and it was no surprise that they were at a disadvantage overall.
Another analysis room held some materials, put them on a large desk, and participated in the discussion topic: "In comparison, the clone army is obviously more cost-effective. Although they are more expensive to produce, they also have ethical risks, but Obviously stronger."
Their job is to talk to each other, reason the conclusions that are closest to the facts, and then report them to the Imperial General Staff.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles. The meaning of their existence is to try their best to help the high-level military of the Alan Hill Empire to know the enemy as well as possible, and to draw up a more reasonable battle plan.
"That's right, if we continue to use the clumsy puppet robot infantry on the front line, they will all become food for the Watcher's troops." The analyst who provoked this topic dug out a chart from the table and pressed it on several people. on the table in the middle.
On it are the statistical icons of the firepower density of one's own side and the loss of one's own personnel.
The striking crossing of the two lines represents the big data analysis that the smaller the density of support firepower, the greater the loss of one's own personnel.
At this time, the section chief, who had been listening to their discussion, asked, "Information shows that after devouring man-made objects, will these guardians speed up their reproduction?"
Hearing this question, everyone shook their heads. Because they simply cannot prove a connection, and even if there is, many are reluctant to admit it.
Eat the opponent's corpse, and then use it as energy to create another sweeper-this is a scary and cruel statement no matter how it sounds.
"There is no definite information yet to link the two, but we are conducting experiments in this area." One of the researchers shook his head and explained to his chief.
Another employee hurriedly searched for a few copies from a stack of documents and put them in front of the section chief: "Higgs 5 provided experimental data in this regard, and they captured some Sweeper soldiers, However, their experiments were crude and the data obtained were very one-sided.”
As he spoke, he also called up relevant materials in the computer, including the video data of the wounded Sweeper soldiers interrogated before.
It can be seen that the background of the video is still very rough, it should be a room found temporarily, not a professional interrogation room.
In fact, Higgs 5 did not prepare such research and interrogation hardware, because the Alan Hill Empire was not even sure whether the enemy would return before confirming that its enemy was the watcher.
However, this problem of not being able to systematically study one's opponent gradually became more and more noticeable as the war with the Watchers broke out.
You can't always be ignorant of your opponent, right? You can't use the blood of countless soldiers to forcefully replace an enemy's weakness, right?
The problem is that it can be replaced for sure, but if the empire falls into a passive position at the end of the fight, and the enemy's weakness is not found, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
After briefly introducing the data, he continued: "General Andre and the others have no way to conduct captive experiments systematically, and the other party is not cooperative. In addition to introducing their own troops, there is no progress in interrogating the other party. .”
After finishing speaking, he added unwillingly: "The other party is not afraid of death at all, nor is he afraid of pain...Because they are surrounded by themselves, they can't send the prisoners out to us."
Seeing that the section chief in charge frowned slightly, the team leader sitting next to him immediately explained: "We are trying to improve the situation, and we are hurrying up to transport the equipment to Higgs 3. There are brand new interrogation rooms, and laboratories..."
"The intelligence bureau is also investing, hoping to establish a more comprehensive intelligence collection center on the front line." He said while adding his own opinion: "My idea is: if conditions deteriorate, take as many prisoners as possible." Send it to the rear for systematic research."
The section chief shook his head and denied this opinion: "The intelligence department is afraid of exposing the rear combat readiness and leaking the coordinates of the star map, so they are not willing to allow us to transport prisoners to other regions."
The team leader was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and nodded in agreement with the section chief's statement: "The safety of the empire is the most important thing... It is indeed right to be cautious. It seems that I have not thought about it."
The section chief continued: "So, based on the available intelligence...we submitted a report to the staff, and most of the conclusions of this report are based on reasoning."
This is also an important reason why the leaders of the analysis department are very dissatisfied with their work: the battle has been fought for more than a month, and they are still relying on sporadic enemy intelligence to make speculations, and the conclusions they draw are only of reference value. There is no importance in controlling the situation of the battle at all.
Since the founding of the Alan Hill Empire, they belonged to the General Staff Department, and the intelligence department of the parallel unit had never appeared so incompetent.
Even when facing the demons back then, or the magic empire earlier, the intelligence work of the Alan Hill Empire was never as embarrassing as it is today.
"We suggest reducing the use of wrapping paper, shell casings and other military materials that are easy to leave man-made objects on the front line as much as possible." A team member put forward his own opinion: "General Luo Kai attaches great importance to this."
Indeed, this opinion has been submitted to the military department before, and it has also attracted the attention of high-level military officials. The Army Department of the Alan Hill Empire is also making a series of arrangements and adjusting some details.
"The military is also urgently arranging procurement in this regard. According to changes in the battlefield situation, the staff is trying to find a way to transfer the puppet troops equipped with electromagnetic rifles to the front line, reducing the use of puppet robots using traditional assault rifles on the front line," he said. , while citing a few examples: "In addition, digestible materials will also be used in food packaging for frontline supplies as soon as possible. Although it will affect the integrity of the packaging and may also affect the taste of the food, this new type of material can minimize the number of guards. The possibility of devouring."
Speaking of this, there are still many voices complaining. Because digestible packaging is more expensive, and the bags are not as strong as plastic.
This caused many military supplies to be damaged during transportation, and some food packages were damaged and distributed to front-line combat troops. Soldiers who received these poorly packaged food supplies called "fragile items" for this food supply.
Some transport soldiers graffitied words such as "handle with care" on the containers of such transport goods, and even some senior military officials complained about this.
But this is war, as long as it can weaken the enemy, it is worth trying-it is easy to deal with such packaging, it dissolves in water, and there is nothing left after the next rain.
"There is too little genetic sequence analysis data for the caretakers, and Higgs 5 does not have complete equipment." The team member in charge of genetic investigation and analysis complained in a low voice.
After complaining, he also realized that his requirements for Higgs 5, which is still surrounded and in a difficult situation, were a bit too harsh, so he immediately changed his words and praised: "However, they still provided some elementary data. The other party is a magical creation. There is no genetic sequence, so the possibility of developing genetic weapons against the caretakers is very low."
"The poisons we tried on the remnants didn't get any effect feedback. We have no way to observe whether the Watcher troops will be poisoned." Then he added some active poisoning attempts.
Before the watchmen arrived, the Ellandhill Empire had applied poison to the building materials of the defense line, and even deliberately mixed highly toxic substances such as potassium cyanide on the leftover food.
The result was very frustrating, because the enemy's poisoning and death could not be investigated at all, so the poisoning plan came to an abrupt end, and even the subsequent research and development of genetic weapons were affected.
"Increasing energy weapons on the front line, as well as electromagnetic weapons, is a positive way to deal with the enemy's devouring." The section chief nodded and said in agreement.
Indeed, electromagnetic weapons and energy weapons can greatly reduce the application of bullet casings, save materials, and at the same time reduce the possibility of the enemy devouring bullet casings to strengthen themselves.
Although the speculation that the energy will be transformed into the descendants of the Watcher's troops after the devouring, and continue to be added to the combat troops has not been confirmed, but this speculation is now becoming more and more mainstream, and has been accepted by many high-level officials as acquiescence.
"Another plan is to ensure that our troops are fighting offensively on the battlefield as much as possible." At this time, the team leader said again.
He looked at his section chief, and solemnly emphasized: "Let the opponent have no chance to clean up the battlefield, and let the opponent have no chance to touch the man-made objects, so that the total amount of objects swallowed by the opponent can be greatly reduced."
"When it comes to offensive operations, we have to mention our air supremacy! The empire has never lost the battlefield air supremacy in the atmosphere before, but now the enemy's air force seems to be stronger." The section chief exhaled helplessly and mentioned The question of air supremacy.
His question was very sharp, and it immediately made many people look embarrassed - no one thought before that the first problem was the air force that the Alan Hill Empire used to rely on the most.
"Prowler fighters suppress our j-30 fighters in numbers, but the f-16 and f-15 fighters we have accumulated over the years are not the opponents of these prowler fighters." A team member explained.
He paused for a moment, and then said: "What's more deadly is that even if we use a large number of J-30 fighter jets, we cannot guarantee victory on the battlefield."
"Because the Empire has never lost its air supremacy on the battlefield, many of our data need to be recalculated." The team member in charge of data sorting and calculation scratched his hair decadently, as if to tear them all out: "The old calculation model cannot Use it, reset the parameters to design one, it will take a long time!"
"No way...the model has been broken! The system no longer exists, which is a headache." Another analyst rubbed the bridge of his nose and complained very depressed: "I reset the calculation The model, but it can only barely deal with it..."
"Although there is no data to support it, the number of anti-aircraft missile reserves must be increased, at least to double to triple the original level!" The team leader said again: "That is to say, it is recommended that every infantry regiment It is necessary to equip self-propelled anti-aircraft guns to ensure the safety of ground operations. It is also necessary to configure some more anti-aircraft missiles..."
"Have you recorded all the contents of this discussion? Organize it and copy it to the military department, the staff department, and the intelligence department..." The section chief glanced at the secretary who had been recording it all the time, and ordered.
"Yes!" The secretary agreed without looking up.
