Solar system, earth, around 9 p.m. Beijing time, Atlantis Island spaceport.
On a sightseeing platform, hundreds of invited media and dignitaries from various countries are looking at the stars through a transparent crystal protective cover.
In sharp contrast to the dignitaries of various countries wearing different costumes, there is a small group of about ten people in the crowd.
The black military uniform and standing posture undoubtedly show the identity of these people.
There is a very eye-catching logo on their chest. The logo is based on the blue planet, and the black outline of five continents refers to the earth. Outside the planet, there is a ring of golden halo, which means the guardian of the earth.
This logo is well known on the earth. It is the military emblem of the earth defense force!
Look at the ranks of these officers. The lowest is level 4 officers with four bars. Yes, you heard right. The Earth Defense Force has fully introduced the hierarchy of the virtual world, so people are not surprised to call them "level n private" and "level n officer".
The earth defense force is too deeply influenced by the ghost captain, and the operation mode of virtual reality technology is also very different from the traditional war mode. Therefore, after consideration, the decision-making level of the earth defense force decided to incorporate the military rank system into the comprehensive electronic and virtual "ghost system" to better connect the virtual operation platform.
Although captain ghost's attitude towards the earth defense force can be said to be a model of the "five principles of non-interference", even the most critical power of personnel appointment looks like lack of interest, and he doesn't even insert a "own person" into it.
However, Nie Yun's influence on the earth defense force can be described as "inaction and governance"!
Although the Earth Defense Force currently nominally belongs to the United Nations and the power of personnel appointment is basically in the hands of the five powers, it is impolite to say that Nie Yun's influence on the earth defense force is absolutely No.1 as long as the five powers do not work together to confront the ghost captain!
During the period of the Republic of China, according to the source of foreign equipment, they were called "American ordnance division", "German ordnance division" and "Soviet ordnance division". In the case of the earth defense force, it is absolutely not too much to call "Youzhou ordnance division".
In addition to personnel, the weapons and equipment, communication command system and combat platform of all forces of the earth defense force are inseparable from the technical support of Captain ghost.
Even as unlimited money for military expenditure, it is credit money issued by Captain ghost's private company
To some extent, the earth defense force is simply an armed force supported by the ghost captain. Even the creaking nest all over the body is marked with the brand of the ghost system
At present, Nie Yun's opponent is only Gemini, so he only needs to use the task release system and unlimited currency incentive means. The Earth Defense Force definitely means that it will scream with a unique sense of honor wherever it plays!
However, as the Earth Defense Force labeled "earth Guardian", its status is also quite subtle.
Judging from the position of this small group of more than ten people, it is obviously incompatible with the dignitaries of the surrounding countries, and even has some self-contained meaning.
In front of the team of senior officers, three middle-aged people with different skin colors are talking. They are the troika of the Earth Defense Force and the only three level 5 commanders in the earth defense force.
Although LV5 is a rookie who can't even get out of the novice village in ordinary games, military merit is definitely a scarce resource for the earth defense force, which has just become an army and has only experienced World War III.
At present, these officers above level 4 are almost all senior officers in the defense force.
"Alas! I don't think I should wear this uniform..." Schneider sighed as he looked at the attitude of the people around him towards them.
Most of the internal personnel of the defense forces are soldiers who have received patriotic education since childhood. From the heart, Schneider is still loyal to the soldiers of the United States, and there is no doubt about his loyalty.
But in principle, the earth defense force must be under the command of the United Nations, not the private army of a country, so "avoiding suspicion" is very necessary.
As senior officers of the earth defense force, the three of them cannot show obvious political tendencies and must strictly abide by neutrality.
"That's just right! I hate these politicians full of bad water! If I say, the earth should be under military control now!" Yuri glanced around with disdain.
Whether for their own interests or to protect the great righteousness of all mankind, the officers of the earth defense force are, at least in the open, weakening their nationality brand, forming a whole and becoming an important military force rising rapidly on the earth.
In this situation, all countries have their joys and sorrows, but their attitude towards this armed force has begun to be ambiguous.
On the one hand, all countries hope that this army can develop and strengthen and enhance the military strength of all countries on earth.
After all, whether it's Gemini or ghost captain, the military gap between themselves and the other party is too big. If they fall behind, they will be beaten. No one wants to be a "Doudou", don't they?
With the development and expansion of the defense force, not only the security of all countries is more guaranteed, but also it can absorb the advanced military weapons and military concepts of Captain ghost, and become a test field for the "space army" in the new era. It can be said that it has many benefits.
But on the other hand, they are afraid of the development and growth of this army. In fact, the reason is very simple - "support the army and respect itself"!
Chen Qiao mutiny, yellow robes, countless cases tell us that the result of supporting soldiers and self-respect is often uncontrolled.
The Earth Defense Force has really developed and expanded. Whose armed force is it?
"It's unlikely to be its own..." this is the idea of every country.
After all, there are many factions in more than 200 countries, which is not enough to explain the complexity of this organization. If you want to fully integrate with one person, I'm afraid only the legendary god of war will be reborn?
"Cough! Speak carefully, speak carefully! Harmony! Harmonious development is the last word!" General Hu patted his forehead and said in a silent voice.
I know that governments of all countries are vigilant against themselves. If this word is spread, it will not be conducive to unity
The three giants of the defense forces have their own positions and also have their own set of principles. Schneider can't cross the national interests, Yuri is a little tough, and General Hu is the lubricant of both sides and abides by the golden mean. It is often said that people don't offend me and I don't offend.
Through a few words of dialogue, it can be seen that compared with the establishment of the defense force at the beginning, the three people obviously have a tacit understanding at this time.
We are the guardians of the earth. We should unite to deal with the invasion of foreign invaders!
The officers of the Earth Defense Force will say such slogans every day to boost morale. If they say the slogans once, it is formalism, and if they say it a thousand times, 10000 times, it is brainwashing!
It is said that "carrying guns together" is the first of the four irons in life. The battlefield is the best melting pot. It can make people forget their origin and skin color. The automatic translation system of simultaneous interpretation can finally help them forget their language.
Even though their positions are still different, there is no doubt that the three have common interests and get along more and more harmoniously.
"Look! Coming!" just then, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone doesn't need him to remind, because a dazzling light column has crossed a long distance from the void, reflecting a long and gorgeous light and shadow on the transparent crystal glass cover
"Atlantis spaceport No. 1 and No. 2 energy transportation lines have been established, the equipment operates normally, and the energy reception is normal... The energy transmission loss is 9%, and the energy obtained per unit time is 8366474627.54 kW... The energy reserve of the spaceport continues to increase..." the spaceport's intelligent prompt sound sounded.
The energy receiving tower built in the center of the spaceport has been bathed in high-energy beams, and everyone was shocked and speechless for a long time.
Schneider's retina projected the light that had been extending into the endless void. He looked stunned and muttered to himself.
"Prometheus plan... Human energy revolution... Is really like a... Light of God..."
