Chapter 509 Genius Is Just the Threshold to See Me

"I found that the chaos in the Star Dragon Empire is much more ruthless than that in the Federation. How long has it been since Norton II started to attack, and so many nobles have died in the Empire?"

In the temporary lounge of a certain Gnaku in the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress, Murat was lying relaxedly on the massage chair in the lounge and watching the news displayed on the terminal in his hand.

What he is looking at now is the 'Recent Situation Express' compiled by the Atlas Group's internal propaganda department. This also means that the source of these news is not those mixed media, but from the Atlas Group. Intelligence Analysis Center.

Theoretically speaking, what Murat was looking at now could not be considered news, but a large number of situation briefings verified by the intelligence agencies.

So this is a real overview of the situation, rather than some untrue or false news about the love between a certain Duke's daughter and the son of a citizen of the territory, which ultimately led to the old father learning about the territory.

Louis, who was sitting on the other side, said after hearing Murat's words:

"There are many nobles in the Star Dragon Empire. According to Boss, if you walk on the streets of several core galaxies, you might be able to hit a noble if you take off your shoes and throw them into the crowd.

Moreover, Norton II is probably unhappy with the naysayers under his command, so he will take this opportunity to kill and purify the entire team, so that those who remain are truly loyal to the regent. crystallization'. "

"Hey, Louis~ You're talking all the time, it's not like your usual speaking style, and since when did you become so concerned about the world situation?"

Jacob, who was walking back from the lounge, happened to hear Lewis's speech, smiled and joked.

Hearing this, Lewis scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, actually, these are what Boss said a few days ago, I just happened to remember them."

"Hahaha, I knew it~"

Murat laughed loudly when he heard this answer, and then looked at Jacob, who had just walked in. The ace pilot of the heavy armored combat boat had a smile on his face at the moment, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Today's training is over? Why do you look so happy?" Murat asked.

"Hmm, the quality of these 'trainees' from the Lubion system is higher than I thought. Even if there is still a certain gap between them and the students we train ourselves, the main reason is because of the lack of training time."

While Jacob was talking, he also found a free chair and lay down.

"And among these 'trainees', there are really some good prospects. There is a young man named Manfred who looks like an ace pilot. To be honest, I want to ask the boss to recruit this young man to us." The team is coming."

"Manfred?" Louis on the other side seemed to be impressed by the name. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Is he a young man with a long name that sounds like an imperial noble?"

"It's not like 'like' the imperial nobles. My ancestors were serious imperial nobles."

Murat seemed to know this young man, and couldn't help but retort:

"This man seems to have quite a personality. I heard from other people that he seems to particularly like to set his combat boat to a red paint job in simulated battles?"

"Yes, yes, it's him!" Jacob snapped his fingers, and then continued:

"His skills and combat thinking are quite strong. What he lacks is combat experience, so he has not yet been defeated in the internal confrontation among the trainees. Some evildoers even gave him the nickname 'Red Baron'."

Hearing this, Murat couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:

"Tsk tsk tsk 'Red Baron', why do you feel that the nicknames of the newcomers are becoming more and more public? Our nicknames are all rubbish."

I won’t mention the nickname of Boss. I don’t know who spread the nickname of ‘Terror Headhunter’, which also caused the rumor that ‘The chairman of Atlas Group cannibalizes people’.

My nickname is 'Madman', Jacob your nickname is 'Fast Man', Louis's nickname is even funnier - 'Missy'. Hahahaha, no matter how many times I hear this ghost nickname Still want to laugh”

Murat laughed so hard that he burst into tears. He looked like a cooked boy, curling up with laughter.

However, the joy between people is not the same, and Louis even felt that Murat's laughter was a bit noisy.

Although Jacob was not as miserable as Louis, he obviously didn't want to continue on this 'black history' topic, so he changed the subject.

"Speaking of such good prospects, haven't you found any trainees with ACE potential?"

I have to say that Jacob is good at finding topics. As soon as he raised this question, he immediately attracted Murat's attention.

This true ace who was currently in Atlas and whose HCP driving skills were only inferior to Amber's, jumped up from the massage chair as if he was "siting up in shock from a dying illness".

"Don't tell me, Louis and I really found a good idea, but it's just a bit 'thorny' and we keep shouting that we are geniuses every day~"

Murat's tone contained three parts appreciation, three parts ridicule, three parts disdain and one part 'care for the silly boy', but Jacob could still tell that he was indeed paying attention to the 'genius' he was talking about.

On the other side, Louis also added:

"It's a bit 'prickly', but in terms of talent, learning ability and driving skills, there is really nothing to say. He has beaten all the invincible opponents in the same period, and even several instructors with practical experience were 'fallen' by him because they underestimated the enemy. ”

When Jacob heard the descriptions of the two people, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "So powerful? What's your name?"

Louis: "Johnny Letting."

"No, no, no, it should be called 'Genius' Johnny Redding~" Murat corrected, wagging his finger, and then stood up while adjusting his clothes and continued:

"In order to give this 'genius' a good beating and prevent him from losing himself due to the illusion in front of him, I plan to personally give him an 'enlightenment education' during the actual combat exercise."

Jacob: "Is this necessary? If you do it in person, wouldn't it be a bit bullying the child?"

"I don't want to either, but it has spread among the trainees privately." Murat shrugged and said helplessly:

"They all said that this 'genius' would become the number one pilot soon, and they also said, 'Fortunately, the boss rarely ends up in person now, otherwise there may be a risk of falling into the hands of Johnny Redding.'"

"That's okay. I support you in educating him and letting him know what 'malice from the battlefield' means~"

"It is necessary. I will let him know what 'genius is just the threshold for meeting me', and I will also let him know that only by defeating me can he be qualified to take on the Boss."

——

Whether it is raising a child or conducting HCP pilot training, 'enlightenment education' is a very important process, and Murat and Louis can be said to be convinced of this.

Especially Murat, he has always felt that for an HCP pilot, especially a rookie pilot, 'enlightenment education' will directly affect the pilot's future combat style.

This is why when planning the "Atlas Group Combat Force-HCP Pilot Training Outline", he strongly requested that trainee pilots be allowed to interact with pilots who have combat experience in the combat force under a 'simulated actual combat environment' , conduct actual combat drills of '1V1', '1VN' and team confrontation as the last and most important part of their training.

There is such an arrangement mainly because Murat and Louis feel that their "initial education" as HCP pilots has indeed affected their future "career development path."

To this day, Murat still remembers that it was a fine morning on the Robert IV.

As two rookie HCP pilots, he and Louis were incorporated into Amber's assault team and participated in the raid on the base area of ​​the space elevator.

It was also during this battle that the two people, who were still 'newbies in mecha combat,' witnessed with their own eyes the 'famous scene' in which Amber piloted the mecha and held a plasma heavy sword in hand-to-hand combat, destroying two mechas with extremely high efficiency.

The scene when Amber pulled the Heavy Sword out of the Zealot's cockpit brought great shock to the two rookies.

It also changed their understanding of battles between HCPs from the stereotype of using heavy particle cannons and other directed energy weapons to bombard each other, and relying on mobility and limited power use of deflection field generators to achieve final victory, to ' Melee is good for me' new methodology.

It has to be said that the tradition of Atlas pilots "drawing out their swords and cancer" may have started from this moment.
