Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 152
"Captain!"

"Captain!"

……

In the captain's office, two squadron leaders and more than a dozen small captains have been waiting for a long time.When Lin Feng came in, everyone stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome, sit down."

Lin Feng sat down first, and the others sat down one by one.

Although in terms of seniority, Lin Feng is far inferior to the two squadron captains, or even most of the squadron captains, but the ranks in the army are strict, and it is not the seniority that determines the status of a soldier, but the rank and position.Besides, Lin Feng is Lin Xiaoting's granddaughter and the pilot of the "Fire Phoenix".

However, when she came in, Lin Feng noticed that everyone looked at her differently than before.

As for why, Lin Feng knew very well.

"Everyone, I believe you have received the order. I won't talk nonsense, the mobilization order has been issued, and the Special Investigation Brigade will enter the wartime state in time. I hope everyone will remember that whether it is peacetime or wartime, the Special Investigation Brigade It will always be a sharp knife in the third war zone." Lin Feng glanced at the captain sitting there, and said, "Wherever there is a battle, there is our presence. Wherever there is a need for us, there are our personnel. As the saying goes, raising soldiers Thousands of days use soldiers for one hour. The millennium of peace and prosperity has come to an end, and you have twelve hours. At that time, I don’t want any accidents. If there is any problem, speak it out now, and don’t bring it up later.”

Lin Feng's attitude was serious, no one dared to joke.

Besides, the mobilization order issued by Zhan Ruilin has been issued to all levels of troops through the theater command, and these squadron leaders and squad leaders all returned to the headquarters of the Special Investigation Brigade after receiving the order.If it is said, there were still people who suspected that this was a drill before that.Then after Lin Feng said this with a straight face, no one dared to doubt it.The war is about to break out, and the time to embody and prove the value of soldiers has come.

With a correct attitude, other problems will not be a problem.

Although the peaceful and prosperous age has lasted for thousands of years, the traditions of the army have not been abandoned, especially in the Special Investigation Brigade.As early as hundreds of years ago, when the Special Investigation Brigade was established, Zhan Ruilin made a series of plans for the outbreak of war.What Lin Feng and others have to do now is to complete the mobilization according to these plans, put all officers and soldiers on standby, and make preparations for going to the battlefield and performing tasks.

In essence, the Special Investigation Brigade is an elite special forces unit.

Although the garrison, fleet, and marines all have special forces, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the special reconnaissance brigade.According to Zhan Ruilin's plan when forming the Special Investigation Brigade, the main task of the Special Investigation Brigade in wartime is to act as a sharp knife and perform difficult tasks that other troops cannot complete.

Of course, this is just Zhan Ruilin's idea, and it was hundreds of years ago.

What the Special Investigation Brigade can and should do depends on the situation on the battlefield.

In fact, Lin Xiaoting had hinted at Lin Feng before this.

Although the federal parliament has passed the war proposal, when Lin Feng returned to the headquarters of the special investigation team, the federal authorities also issued a war mobilization order, and the major areas began to mobilize internally more than ten hours ago, but it takes enough time to complete the mobilization. much time.

Take the third war zone as an example, even if it is only a partial mobilization, it will take a week.

In peacetime, in order to reduce military expenditures, the troops in the third war zone are divided into three levels according to their importance: A, B, and C.The Fleet and the Marine Corps are Class A units, maintaining a full manpower rate of over 80.00% at any time.The garrison force is a Class B force, and its full staff rate is only 60.00%.The security forces of the theater command and the garrisons in various places are Class C troops, and the full staff rate in peacetime is only 40.00%.

It can be seen that even Category A troops need to recruit soldiers through war mobilization after the outbreak of war.

Although the federal authorities and various theaters have introduced laws and regulations for wartime mobilization, it still takes a lot of time to complete the mobilization, especially to recruit enough soldiers.Taking the fleet as an example, the targets of wartime mobilization and recruitment are mainly retired soldiers who have signed reserve contracts.Relatively speaking, the problem of recruiting soldiers for Category A troops during wartime is not a big problem. After all, most soldiers will sign a reserve contract with the military before retiring.The problems with recruiting for Type B and Type C units are even more pronounced, and in addition to a larger gap, it is also related to the lack of qualified soldiers.Take the garrison as an example, even if enough soldiers can be recruited, they are mainly recruits.As a result, recruits are recruited that require training.Even by wartime standards, it takes a month to complete basic training.

Obviously, mobilization for war is an extremely troublesome and lengthy process.

At the beginning of the Fifth Greenwich War, it took the Human Federation a year to complete the basic war mobilization, and by the time Xiao Wentian led the legion to garrison the Lighthouse Star, the full mobilization had not been completed.It was not until the fifth year after the end of the lighthouse star offensive and defensive war that the Human Federation completed its full mobilization.

The question is, will the Silicon Magic Alliance wait until the Human Federation has mobilized before attacking?
The answer is obviously no.

Judging from the previous Greenwich Wars, especially the fifth Greenwich War, whether the Human Federation can persist and win the final victory depends on whether it can withstand the enemy's attack in the early stages of the war.It can be said that as long as the Human Federation completes all-out war mobilization, thousands of legions are formed, and hundreds of millions of soldiers are armed, the human legion is almost invincible on the battlefield.

Obviously, whether it can withstand the enemy's attack in the early stage of the war depends not on the soldiers recruited during the war, but on the standing army of the Federation.

The Special Investigation Brigade is the standing army.

Although in terms of establishment, the Special Investigation Brigade is subordinate to the Theater Command and is a Class C force, but at any time, the full staff rate of the Special Investigation Brigade is [-]%.

In fact, the Special Reconnaissance Brigade is also the only unit in the third theater that is fully staffed in peacetime.

For hundreds of years, Zhan Ruilin has always attached great importance to the Special Investigation Brigade. In addition to hoping to consolidate Lin Xiaoting's position through the Special Investigation Brigade and let Lin Xiaoting contain Luo Zhenyu and Du Wantu, he also fought with the Special Investigation Brigade during the war, especially in the early days of the war. In other words, the special investigation brigade is the only unit in the third theater that can exert its full combat effectiveness in the early stage of the war, and it is also the only unit that can fight the main force of the enemy on the frontal battlefield.

It can be said that in the early days of the war, the Special Investigation Brigade was the pinnacle of the third war zone.

It is true that it is the fire brigade.

The point is that the defense line of the third theater is too long.

Although it is the head of the three theaters, the third theater ranks first among the nine theaters of the Human Federation in terms of troop size and combat effectiveness, even equal to the sum of the first theater and the second theater. The defense line guarded by the three theaters is also very long, accounting for 40.00% of the Greenwich defense line.As a result, it was impossible for the Third Theater to deploy sufficient forces along this long line of defense in peacetime.

In the face of the enemy's sudden attack, the garrison responsible for guarding the Greenwich line of defense in peacetime seemed vulnerable.

that's the truth.

Take post No. 828 as an example, more than 1000 officers and soldiers resisted bravely, but they only persisted for a few days.If it wasn't for Kutum's anti-mouse attack, Yang Yi and the others would have nothing to do with it.For the Silicon Charm Alliance, there is no need to capture the entire line of defense, as long as a few breakthroughs are opened, the Greenwich defense line that the Human Federation has painstakingly managed for 1000 years can become a decoration.Because it is a passive defense, it is impossible for the Human Federation to strengthen the entire defense line. It can only use mobile troops like the Special Investigation Brigade to plug the loopholes and ensure that the defense line is intact.

Just like this, Lin Xiaoting mentioned in particular that he has assembled the mobile forces of the theater command to provide support for the special investigation team at any time.

However, what the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade such as Lin Feng can do now is to wait patiently.

The communication system has been synchronized, and the theater headquarters has continuously sent news from various battlefields, so that the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade can keep abreast of the battle situation.

The first theater and the second theater were under attack, and thousands of frontier outposts have been attacked.Although there are no exact statistics, according to the news sent back from the front, the Silicon Magic Alliance has invested thousands of legions.This battle seemed to break through the defense lines of the first theater and the second theater in one fell swoop.

Obviously, this is just an illusion.

The defense line of the first war zone is west of the Greenwich meteorite belt, the defense line of the second war zone is in the east, and the defense line of the third war zone is responsible for the first central defense line.Although judging from the enemy's offensive momentum, it seems that it seems to be detouring from the first and second theaters, and outflanking the rear of the third theater with a pincer offensive.The problem is that it will take enough time to break through the defense lines of the first theater and the second theater, and it is entirely possible for the third theater to complete the mobilization work before then.If the enemy continues to exert force in the first theater and the second theater, the third theater can seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Lin Feng is not a staff officer of the theater command, so he can see the problems of the enemy's offensive operations at a glance.

There is no doubt that the enemy's goal is not to break through the first and second theaters, but to have other plans.Perhaps as Lin Xiaoting said, Kutum first exerted his strength in the first theater and the second theater, just to make the human federation internally strife, thereby disintegrating the human legion's will to resist.To put it simply, if the commanders of the first theater and the second theater think that the third theater caused the war and suffered heavy losses, while the third theater was unscathed, they will have doubts and even doubt the third theater. Three War Zones motivated the war.Even if Zhan Ruilin could explain it clearly, as long as doubt arises, it will inevitably have an irreversible impact on future combat operations.

Action must be taken, not idling on the sidelines.

This was Lin Feng's idea, and it was also the opinion of senior generals such as Lin Xiaoting.

However, it is not Lin Feng or Lin Xiaoting who holds the command of the third theater, but Zhan Ruilin.Only Zhan Ruilin can decide when, how, and how many troops will be deployed in the third war zone, and only after Zhan Ruilin gives orders, can the troops at all levels take action.

So, what is Zhan Ruilin waiting for?
