Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 127: The Origin of Decline_1


No! A single medal is not enough to hold someone. Feng Yi said that he can't be let go, and Annie's words today have already sounded the alarm for Weirbo. The military department wants people who can handle themselves. Even if he has to stick it out shamelessly, if Feng Yi's stand is not firm and he claims he doesn't want to mix here and gets poached, it won't sound good. He must tie this rare genius to his own chariot. Who knows, this may be a future famous general of the Federation?

With this in mind, Weirbo did not hesitate. He didn't wait for his butt to get warm and started to hastily praise Feng Yi in their shocked gaze, then ran away mysteriously, leaving Feng Yi puzzled...

Soon, the eager voice of an old trickster came from the headmaster's office: "Hello, is this the command headquarters? This is Weirbo, please connect me to the direct line of the chief of staff's office, quickly."

"Please, please wait."

"Wait, what?! Can't you recognize my voice?"

"Yes."

"Hahaha, what's wrong, old principal, what made you so urgent?" A draggy laughter came from the other side of Heavenly Communication.

This time Weirbo was much more courteous: "Nothing, just wanted to borrow one of your watches, hehe, I will submit an application later."

"Borrow? Hehe, the process of getting a watch isn't as simple as just asking for it, you old man should know the process."

"Isn't it due to urgency? Isn't it all dependent on the chief of staff?"

"Even if it is urgent, it won't work. You can't rush to eat tofu, right? You have to eat it one bite at a time."

The two people argued for a while and didn't get anywhere. In the end, Weirbo bluntly threatened: "Do you want me to expose your secret?"

Within two seconds, the other side crumbled: "Just this once, no exceptions."

Not long after, a military hover-car quickly stopped in front of the bishop's office building. Weirbo, smiling like a fiend with a photon watch in hand, his wrinkled old face suddenly looked a bit more weathered... All of this, all for this academy! Wind Thunder has been down for many years now, finally producing a decent talent. He would do anything to keep Feng Yi from ending up in the files of other departments.

This is the maximum authority Weirbo could use. As the name implies, the photon watch is one of the high-tech products of modern times and the pinnacle of military communication equipment. Its importance might not match that of the diamond secondary medal, but its scope of use is all-embracing.

The watch has Sky Network level message sharing privileges, and it's equipped with a solar energy storage crystal, basically not needing to be charged. It has the privilege of unrestricted communication network usage, can track location, collect intelligence, and enjoy VIP queue-skipping service for GPIS holographic images.

Strictly speaking, it's not as rare as the diamond secondary medal. There are many officers who have these watches, and even junior officers have the right to use them. However, the prerequisite is that they must pass official scrutiny, including many layers of selection such as political look, family background, and military contribution. Photon watches have a fixed number in the entire army. During wartime, usually the first order from the parliament to the military department is to issue a watch unit by unit based on strategic needs.

The applicability of the photon watch is much more extensive than what is superficially implied. It can even extend to commercial investigations and identity scans, related to training and real battle analyses. Its broad global vision and super intelligent operating system have become indispensable on the battlefield.

Sky Network has strict privileges for those carrying the photon watch and opens equal privileges accordingly.

Seeing that the annual military skills competition is imminent, the major military academies of the Federation, who are incompatible like fire and water, are all busy preparing. If possible, Weirbo hopes that Feng Yi can shape more potential talents in the limited time.

Given the ongoing friction between the two major star domains in recent years, Alpha, being the closest, is naturally going to be dragged into the mire. After all, Alpha is a fulcrum of the two major star domains. Once involved, it is inevitable that the military academies will steadily decline. Some could say that those who have walked off the battlefield are experienced, but more people have spilled their blood on the battlefield.

The Central Star Domain has also been aiding the two major star domains, but to negligible effect. As everyone knows, the situation between the Federation and Saudi is still in the honeymoon period of resource contention. This means that the high-level leaders on both sides are carefully choosing small frictions and not really seeing the resource stars as crucial. After all, head-on conflicts not only consume military expenses, but also the lives of soldiers. The cost of mobilizing a fleet alone is substantial, and the capital required to build a fleet is almost equal to the annual income of one percent of the Federation's population.

The deep-seated interests involved behind the scenes are unimaginable, like family and people's livelihoods...

At this point, the Federation seems to be fed up with Saudi's despicable tactics. Grand's arrival indicates that the situation in the two major star domains is about to turn upside down, and the fleet that Annie is preparing is clearly the Federation's sword ready to strike.

Maybe it's time for the Federation to try and change something. The names recorded on those monuments and the portraits of the great generals in front of them have obviously become a thing of the past. This country, which has enjoyed hundreds of years of peace, may have forgotten its past glory.

In many years of probing and contesting, the most unfortunate are the Wind Thunder Military Academy. As a second-line support point, Wind Thunder has dispatched countless excellent commanders to the front lines every year. Far away from the border resource stars in the other star domains, on the contrary, each star domain only needs to hand over one or a few miscellaneous units at the necessary time, and then reorganize the complex units into a unified new designation. That way, a support unit for Alpha is born.

Wind Thunder is suffering in silence. Their decline over the years is due to this.

Since ancient times, all the major military schools of the Federation have adhered to an old tradition, which is the competition of military skills. It's somewhat similar to early military competitions. Candidates are drawn from the school, and the victorious side has the right to unconditionally recruit a top talent from each department of the defeated school. In this vicious cycle of survival of the fittest, Wind Thunder is barely hanging on year after year.

The Royal Military Academy of Yingland has always had their eyes on Zi Mou, but Zi Mou will leave sooner or later and the Deke family has direct control of the Federation, so they didn't take Zi Mou.

Right, the Royal Military Academy of Yingland wants Zi Mou, but doesn't Wind Thunder Academy also hope to get Amelia, Ophelia, and the Heir brothers? Before every military skills competition, doesn't Wind Thunder always talk big? But they've been dominated for several years straight. Luckily, bragging isn't illegal, otherwise these soldiers would be imprisoned indefinitely.

Even with the addition of Feng Yi, Weirbo doesn't really have any hope of winning. The military skills competition is not as simple as solo mecha operation. The all-inclusive contest almost covers all military knowledge. Even the every special skilled Zi Mou struggles against Amelia, let alone facing the increasingly powerful Yingland today?
