Chapter 1570： Discussion group

It is not just taking up weapons to go to the front line to participate in a war. The more modern the war, the more numerous people are serving the war far away from the war.

The war machine of the Allanhill Empire included the intelligence department, the analysis department, and of course the technical 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 Ailan Hill Empire, so that the empire will continue to maintain population growth even in a 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 dim basement headquarters, it is like heaven. But for the people who work here, this is also a battlefield, an important one. Battlefield.

"The puppet combat 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 number of losses just calculated on the computer screen, and said to his colleagues around him.

The analyst sitting next to him touched his chin with his hand, stared at the number on it for a while, nodded in agreement: "Such a loss is indeed greater than previously estimated. When we use puppets on the front line, we should be more cautious. ."

Previously, the top military leaders of the Ailan Hill Empire believed that the use of puppet robots could effectively reduce the casualties of frontline soldiers.

The General Staff believes that under effective fire suppression, the disadvantages of the slightly heavier puppet robots will not be highlighted, because in the previous wars of the Ailan Hill Empire, the tasks performed by the light infantry were generally not the same as cleaning the battlefield. What a difference.

Under the combined firepower of missile artillery bombers, the enemy basically did not even have the courage to resist, and surrendering became the only option.

In the face of these surrendered enemies, the use of puppet robot soldiers to clear the custody is actually sufficient, and there is no need to use valuable personnel to perform similar tasks.

But now it seems that the war with the guards is obviously much more cruel, and the previous combat experience of the Ailan Hill Empire is no longer enough, so the loss of the puppet troops has greatly exceeded the expected.

The enemy's firepower is also very fierce, and can suppress the long-range support firepower of the Ailan Hill Empire to a certain extent. This had to force the battle puppet robot to face the sweeper alone, and it was no surprise that it was at a disadvantage as a whole.

Another analysis room held some materials on a large desk and participated in the discussion topics: "In contrast, the cloned troops are obviously more cost-effective. Although they are more expensive to produce, they also have ethical risks. Obviously stronger combat effectiveness."

Their job is to talk to each other, infer the conclusions that are closest to the facts, and then report them to the Imperial Staff.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy will never end, the meaning of their existence is to do everything possible to help the high-level military of the Ailan Hill Empire to become as familiar with the enemy as possible, and to draw up a more reasonable battle plan.

"Yes, if we continue to use bulky puppet robot infantry on the front lines, they will all become food for the Guardian troops." The analyst who provoked this topic flipped through the table and found a chart and pressed several people. On the middle desktop.

Above it is the statistical icon of the firepower density of one's own side and the loss of one's own personnel. The two lines are conspicuously intersecting, which represents the big data analysis that supports the smaller the firepower density, the greater the loss of one's own personnel.

At this time, the section chief who had been listening to their discussion on the sidelines asked: "There is intelligence showing that after swallowing man-made objects, will these guards accelerate their reproduction?"

Hearing this question, everyone shook their heads. Because they can't prove the connection, even if there is, many people are reluctant to admit it.

Eating the opponent's corpse, and then using it as energy to create another sweeper. It sounds terrifying and cruel.

"For the time being, there is no definite information linking the two, but we are conducting experiments in this area." After one of the researchers shook his head, he explained to his officer.

Another clerk hurriedly searched for several copies from a stack of documents and placed them in front of the section chief: "Higgs 5 provided experimental data in this regard, and they captured some sweeper soldiers. However, their experiments are very rudimentary, and the data obtained is also very one-sided."

As he said, he also called up the relevant information in the computer, including the video data of the wounded sweeper soldiers in the previous interrogation.

It can be seen that the background of the video is still very rough. It should be a temporary room, not a professional interrogation room.

In fact, the Higgs 5 did not prepare such research and interrogation hardware, because the Ailanhill Empire was not even sure that the enemy would come back before it determined that its enemy was the Guardian.

However, this kind of problem of not being able to systematically study one's own opponents gradually became more and more concerned as the war with the guards broke out in an all-round way.

Can't you always keep ignoring your opponent? You can't use the blood of countless soldiers to forcefully trade out an enemy's weakness, right?

The problem is that it can be replaced, but if the empire falls into a passive position and the enemy’s weakness is not found at the end of the fight, isn’t it embarrassing?

After a brief introduction of the data, he continued: "General André and the others have no way to systematically conduct captive experiments, and the other party does not cooperate. Apart from introducing their own arms, the interrogation work of the other party has not made any progress. ."

After that, he added reconciledly: "The other party is not afraid of death at all, nor is it afraid of pain...Because of their encirclement, they can't send the prisoners out to us."

Seeing that the section chief in charge of them frowned slightly, the leader of the group sitting next to him immediately explained: "We are improving the situation. We are seizing the time to transport the equipment to Higgs 3. There is a brand new interrogation room and a laboratory..."

"The Intelligence Agency 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, as much as possible will be captured. 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 chart, so it is reluctant to let us transport prisoners to other regions."

The group leader was taken aback for a moment, and then he was relieved, and nodded in agreement with the section chief's statement: "It's really right to be more cautious about the security of the empire. It seems that I haven't considered it."

The section chief continued: "So, based on the existing intelligence... we have submitted a report to the General 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 drawn are only of reference value. There is no importance at all to influence the situation of the battle.

Ever since the establishment of the Alanhill Empire, they belonged to the General Staff and the intelligence departments of parallel units have never looked so incompetent.

Even when facing the demons of the year, or facing the magic empire earlier, the intelligence work of the Ailanhill Empire has not been as embarrassed as it is today.

"We recommend that we reduce the use of wrapping paper, bullet 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 view has already been submitted to the military department before, and it has also attracted the attention of the military's senior level. The Alan Hill Diplomatic Department is also making a series of arrangements and adjusting some details.

"The military is also urgently arranging purchases in this regard. According to the changes in the battlefield, the staff is trying to find ways to transfer the puppet troops equipped with electromagnetic rifles to the front line, reducing the use of puppet robots with traditional assault rifles on the front line." He said as he said. , Citing a few examples: "In addition, the digestible materials will also be used as soon as possible for front-line food packaging. Although it will affect the integrity of the packaging, it may also affect the taste of the food, but this new material can minimize the caretakers. The possibility of swallowing."

Speaking of this, there are actually many complaining voices. Because the price of digestible packaging is higher, and the strength of the packaging bag is not as strong as that of plastic.

This caused many military supplies to be damaged during transportation, and some food packaging was damaged and then distributed to frontline combat troops. Soldiers who received these poorly packaged foods were called "fragile goods."

Some transport soldiers painted "handle with care" and other words on the containers of this kind of transport goods, and even some senior military officials have quite criticized this.

But this is war. As long as it can weaken the enemy, it is worth trying to deal with such packaging. It is easy to dissolve in water, and nothing will be left in the next rain.

"There are too few genetic sequence analysis data for the caretaker. Higgs 5 does not have complete equipment." The team member in charge of genetic investigation and analysis lowered their voice and complained.

After complaining, he also realized that he was a bit too demanding for Higgs 5, which is still surrounded and in a difficult situation, so he immediately changed his words and praised: "But they still provided some basic data. The other party is a magical artifact. There is no genetic sequence, so the possibility of developing genetic weapons against guards is very low."

"The poison we tried on the remnants did not get any effect feedback. We have no way to observe whether the Guardian troops will be poisoned." Then he added some active poisoning attempts.

Before the guardian arrived, the Ailan Hill Empire applied poison to the construction materials of the defense line, and even deliberately mixed potassium cyanide and other highly toxic substances into the leftover food.

The result was very frustrating, because the poisoning and death of the enemy could not be investigated at all, so the poisoning plan was abruptly stopped, and even the subsequent research and development of genetic weapons were affected.

"Adding front-line energy weapons, 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 cartridge cases, save materials, and at the same time reduce the possibility of the enemy engulfing the cartridge case to strengthen itself.

Although the energy will be transformed into the descendants of the Guardian troops after being swallowed, the speculation that it will continue to be added to the combat troops has not been confirmed, but this speculation is now more and more mainstream, and has been accepted by many high-level officials.

"Another plan is to ensure as much as possible that our troops are fighting offensive operations on the battlefield." 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 come into contact with man-made objects, so that the total amount of objects that the opponent can swallow can be greatly reduced."

"When it comes to offensive operations, we have to mention our air dominance! The empire has never lost battlefield air dominance in the atmosphere before, but now the enemy's air force seems to be stronger." The section chief sighed helplessly and raised it. The issue of air supremacy.

His question was very acute, and it immediately made many people's faces look embarrassed. No one had thought that the first problem was the air force that the Alanhill Empire once relied on the most.

"The Prowler fighters suppressed our J-30 fighters in number, and 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, and then said: "What's more deadly is that even if we use a large number of J-30 fighters, there is no guarantee of victory on the battlefield."

"Because the empire has never lost air dominance on the battlefield, many of our data need to be recalculated." The team member in charge of data sorting calculations scratched his hair decadently, as if to tear them all off: "The old calculation model cannot After using it, reset the parameters to design one, it will take a long, long time!"

"No way... the model was broken! The system doesn't exist, which makes people a headache." Another analyst rubbed his nose, complaining very depressed: "I reset the calculation. The model can only be used barely..."

"Although there is no data to support, the number of anti-aircraft missile reserves must be increased, at least to double to three times the original level!" The team leader said again: "That is to say, it is recommended that every infantry regiment have It must be equipped with self-propelled air defense guns to ensure the safety of ground operations. More air defense missiles must be deployed..."

"Is the content of this discussion recorded? Sort it out and copy it to the military, staff, and intelligence..." The section chief took a look at the secretary who had been recording, and said.

"Yes!" the secretary agreed without raising his head.
