Chapter 76 -76 Blade Squad

“It hasn’t even reached the juvenile stage yet?” A few generals found it hard to accept his statement, “In its current state, without relying on missiles or other weapons, it’s already difficult to deal with!”

He Xingzhou continued fearlessly, “I believe that our current understanding of modern warfare methods has very limited deterrent effect on the Zerg. According to the current way of engaging them, it’s like crashing an egg against a rock.”

His words grew increasingly outrageous, and several generals felt dissatisfied. Lei Yuanfeng said, “The Xuanwu Army is one of the top military forces in the world. The weapons and combat methods they possess are absolutely unmatched by ordinary forces!”

“To put it bluntly, once our base is established, our strike system here will cover the entire nation’s territory and all coastal areas! We are bound to intercept the Zerg beyond the coastline!”

He Xingzhou shook his head and said, “General Lei, it’s not that I’m trying to argue with you. These so-called strike systems only solve immediate worries but cannot address fundamental issues. More importantly, you can’t treat Zerg warfare the same way as human warfare, can you?”

The generals were about to say more when Qin Peng waved his hand and asked He Xingzhou, “Comrade He Xingzhou, what insights do you have?”

He Xingzhou said, “I’ve also learned some military information during this time.”

“Let me give an example, suppose the Zerg land on the coast, how should we defend?”

“Of course, we would dispatch troops to garrison while relying on the sea, land, and air to carry out a synchronized strike. Our shells can carpet-bomb every area! Even if there were millions or tens of millions of Zerg, they could all be wiped out!” a general said.

“*This is the limitation of thinking!*” He Xingzhou said, “*In modern human-thinking warfare, missile attacks destroy enemy strongholds and key military facilities. Using contactless combat can cripple and collapse the enemy.*”

“*But have you considered this: If the Zerg land, the places where missiles fall will be on our own lands! It will destroy our own infrastructure and ecological environment!*”

“*Even if in one wave of Zerg, we use overwhelming bombings to kill all of them, so what? The ocean can still produce an endless supply of Zerg, and unlike humans, who take decades to grow a generation, recent research shows that certain Zerg can become particularly threatening in just a year or two!*”

“*At that time, wave after wave of Zerg invasions, will bombings still work? Are we going to blow up the Earth’s entire oceans?*”

“*Don’t forget, we are the only ones afraid of sea pollution, the Zerg are not! Even if we dump all the nuclear bombs into the sea, a batch might die off temporarily, but fiercer Zerg will immediately grow!*”

He Xingzhou’s words began to instill fear among the people present. Most of them naturally thought the Zerg were terrifying but had never believed they could truly challenge humanity’s dominance of Blue Star’s ecosystem!

“One more thing!” He Xingzhou emphasized, “Don’t overly rely on missile systems. The Tower Research Institute has conducted studies that reveal the Zerg possess biological electromagnetic weapons. If a large number of these Zerg with biological electromagnetic capabilities emerge, whether our missile or radar systems can accurately locate them is uncertain!”

“Mr. He, are you saying that what we’re doing now is all in vain?” a general asked.

“Of course not!” He Xingzhou replied, “Current strike methods can ensure Shen Zhou’s safety in the initial responses. As the Zerg evolve, so are our technology and military weapons!”

“And don’t we have the Steel Great Wall plan?” He Xingzhou continued, “The Steel Great Wall can at least give us an additional ten years of development time!”

“The Steel Great Wall?” Qin Peng pondered. Previously, he thought this plan was too extravagant and unnecessary to execute.

Now, through understanding the Zerg and He Xingzhou’s explanation, he increasingly felt that perhaps this plan’s necessity surpassed that of other plans!

He Xingzhou continued, “Another aspect is expanding combat methods. Sea, land, and air combat tactics all need updates.”

“Putting other aspects aside, just consider land warfare. In a large-scale Zerg invasion, there will certainly be some formidable individuals invading cities and rural areas. In cities, how can our armored vehicles conveniently fight? Can missiles still freely bombard targets?”

“Relying on ordinary soldiers using regular guns and cannons to fight them is unrealistic!”

“Therefore, we must develop mechanical exoskeletons, laser weapons, electromagnetic weapons, and agile combat armor, among others.”

After saying so much, He Xingzhou still gave them a heads-up, telling them that without new equipment and combat methods, the current methods couldn’t keep up with wars against alien species!

“Indeed, we must seriously consider these issues.” Qin Peng nodded and said to Lei Yuanfeng, “Yuanfeng, you should note this down and discuss it with the experts at the Academy of Sciences on how to further explore this direction!”

“Yes, General.” Lei Yuanfeng nodded.

“Having discussed so much, let’s return to the main topic.” He Xingzhou looked at the Zerg in the culture dish and said, “I will have the AI instructor analyze your previous combat data. By combining the situation of the Zerg with that of our soldiers, we can formulate tactical plans and combat skills and let it train the soldiers, and we’ll see the effects!”

“Alright, bring over the Blade Squad!” Qin Peng ordered, and the long-awaited Blade Squad immediately assembled.

They were a specially selected elite squad, each member a special operations elite, well-equipped with all kinds of firearms. They also had armored vehicles, anti-tank guns, fighters, drones, and other modern equipment.

“Blade Squad assembled and ready for orders!” The captain of Blade Squad, Feng Xiaolong, dressed in a complete field outfit, saluted the group.

The other team members either stayed in the armored vehicles or carried weapons and saluted, totaling fifteen personnel, including fighter pilots, armored vehicle drivers, gunners, snipers, scouts, medics, among others.

In fact, each of them was nearly cross-trained to ensure that if a team member was missing, others could quickly fill in.

“The Blade Squad was hand-picked by me!” Lei Yuanfeng said, “They are the best of the best. It’s just a pity that in simulated battles against the Zerg, they have never won even once.”

When he said this, the members of Blade Squad couldn’t hide their shame. As special forces elites, they had never lost in military competitions within the barracks.

Yet, facing these non-human monsters, even with their modern weapons, they had never secured a victory. Several times, if it weren’t for the base’s support, they might have been entirely wiped out by Zerg attacks!

This was a humiliation for them!

Feng Xiaolong shouted loudly, “Reporting to the officer, Blade Squad has reflected and trained. We request to carry out simulated combat again and resolutely achieve our victory goals!”

“No need to rush, Captain Feng,” Qin Peng smiled, “Today, Comrade He Xingzhou has brought a trainer for you. And after its training, I believe you will undergo earth-shattering changes!”

“A trainer?” The members of Blade Squad looked puzzled. They were veterans of innumerable battles, often serving as instructors to others. Who would have the ability to become their trainer?
