From ship girl to machine god

Chapter 144 The slightly immature resistance army

Before coming to Mexico, Jade Bird took Mann and others to stay in a military technology training camp for almost two months. On the one hand, they were familiar with the members of the resistance. After all, the two sides would work together in the next battle.

On the other hand, Mann and others also need to receive some training from military technology and receive a batch of combat materials from military technology.

Although Mann and others have been trained by Jade Bird before, and the training level may even be higher than that of Military Technology, the content of their training by Jade Bird is more for small-scale special operations, real frontal battlefield combat Mann and others Still not good at it, especially in commanding operations.

This time, using military technology to train Mann and the others is also part of the Blue Bird Plan.

Let Mann and the others receive professional command and combat training. Even though it is just ordinary combat command training for middle- and lower-level officers, it can also train them well. After some practical training, Mann and the others can be transformed from their original positions. Mercenaries are transformed into qualified junior officers.

After that, as long as they continue to train them, they will be able to reserve a group of qualified military talents for the future.

You must know that what Blue Bird plans is not just a Mexico. It wants to overthrow the company's rule. This is just the beginning.

Since we have such conditions now, we naturally need to make more preparations for the future.

And these trainings are now in use. Although everyone in Mann's team is still participating in this operation as mercenaries, they are assisting in the task of blocking the fruit joint force at the street entrance.

From the layout of firepower points to tactical arrangements, although there are soldiers in the resistance army who have received basic officer training, it is obvious that these young soldiers still lack experience in actual combat.

Moreover, in terms of individual combat effectiveness and combat literacy, these resistance fighters are really far behind Mann and others.

This can be seen from the reaction of these resistance fighters after Dorio launched an anti-tank missile to attack the armored vehicle.

Although the resistance fighters ambushing on both sides of the road started shooting as soon as the missiles were launched, covering the Fruit United troops with firepower, their firepower was very scattered and did not concentrate the firepower. , forming fire superiority suppression.

This kind of shooting cannot actually be said to be completely ineffective. The marksmanship of the resistance fighters is actually pretty good. Although they did not suppress the Fruit Alliance troops immediately, they still managed to fire a good wave of shots with the advantage of ambushing them in advance. Attack and occupy the battlefield advantage.

But after getting used to the efficient play style pursued by Jade Bird of concentrating superior firepower to form fire suppression, and then focusing the fire to knock out the enemy's threatening targets one by one, seeing this not very efficient play style, the Cyberpunk team Many people are somewhat unaccustomed to it.

However, they kept in mind that they were only here to help, and the main combat tasks were still completed by the rebels themselves, so Mann and others only reminded the commander of the rebel fighters and did not intervene.

After being reminded by Mann and others, these commanders quickly adjusted their tactics and began to concentrate firepower on attacking high-threat targets.

But the most precious opportunity has been lost, and fighting now will only shorten the tug-of-war.

And their mission is not to annihilate the Fruit Alliance troops, but to block them here and buy time for the action troops on the other side of the factory to blow up the factory.

So all of a sudden, surrounding the Fruit Lianhe factory, the surrounding streets suddenly erupted with gunshots as dense as fried beans.

The flames ejected from the guns of soldiers on both sides even illuminated the shantytown and the streets.

Bullets were flying everywhere on the battlefield, and from time to time they would carve a hole or even a hole in the outer wall of a building on the roadside.

Fortunately, the residents of this area had been evacuated before the rebels took action, so even though the two armies were fighting fiercely, there was no risk of harming innocent people.

"It looks like these guys performed well and fought like that." Jade Bird released his drone and was overlooking the entire battlefield through the footage captured by the drone.

The leader of the resistance army on the side also looked at the data pad in her hand. Although he didn't say anything, the serious expression on his face still showed some pride and pride.

"The movement at the factory is a bit slow, please hurry them up." The leader of the resistance army glanced at the watch on his hand and issued a new order to the messenger next to him.

The leader of the resistance is an old-school character, and like old Morgan, he doesn't like prosthetics. Apart from a first-generation mechanical-style prosthetic eye, he doesn't have any additional prosthetics.

After the messenger went to convey the new order, Qingniao said: "This is the first time they have been able to achieve this level. Their performance is already above the passing standard. Give them a little encouragement and give them a little more confidence. They are just It just takes some time to grow.”

"We don't have enough time. Many people are still living under the oppression of the Fruit Alliance. We need to save them." The leader of the resistance army still looked serious.

Doesn't he know that the young men under him have performed very well, but the iron-faced character formed by leading the guerrillas for so many years prevents him from saying anything soft, and he thinks of the compatriots who are still being oppressed by the Fruit League. , he felt that the burden on his shoulders was still very heavy.

"After so many years, there is no need to rush for this moment, and what we need most now is to be steady and steady. If you worry too much, you may ruin this power that can be called the only hope in your hands." Qingniao persuaded, But he didn't say much.

She understood that the people who led the resistance forces in the struggle were strong-minded people, and the character they had formed over a long period of time could not be shaken by just a few words.

But the experience and education he received from the previous world also made Qingniao know that being eager and rash at this time will ruin the resistance force that has just formed in his hands.

Although sometimes it is necessary to take risks, at the moment it is more about letting this resistance army grow, rather than eagerly expecting them to achieve something.

Moreover, this resistance army will be an important foundation for overthrowing the company's rule around the world in the future. Whether it is Jade Bird, Old Morgan, or others who know the plan, they all have high hopes for them. Everyone does not want this army to be important in the future. The resistance force died at the initial stage.

Thinking of this, Jade Bird couldn't help but add: "Overthrowing the company's rule is not something that happens overnight, and it is not something you do alone. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't be too anxious. Let's take it step by step."

Chapter 145 Explosion

While Blue Bird was talking to the rebel leader, the rebel fighters who rushed into the factory finally completed the placement of the bomb, set the detonation fuse and withdrew from the factory.

"It looks like they're done. Tell everyone to prepare to evacuate." Qingniao saw the rebel fighters withdrawing from the factory and immediately reminded the rebel leader.

After being reminded by Blue Bird, the leader of the resistance army also noticed that bombs had been set up at the factory, and before he issued the retreat order, the commander in charge of operations at the factory also reported to him.

The rebels didn't waste any time and asked everyone to retreat according to the original plan. Then they looked at Qingniao and asked her, "Where are your people?"

Although it is a friendly and cooperative relationship, Blue Bird's men do not accept the command of the leader of the resistance.

But the two armies acted together, and the leader of the resistance army couldn't do anything to let his men retreat and let the Blue Bird people continue to stay here.

That's why he asked Qingniao what her people were going to do next, so that he could adjust his men's actions to cooperate.

As a leader who has been able to lead the guerrillas to persist on this land for so many years, the leader of the resistance army is not the kind of brainless person. He knows very well what kind of role Jade Bird and their amazing mercenary team can play.

"Let your people withdraw first. These minions of the Fruit Alliance must be dealt with completely." Blue Bird said to the leader of the resistance army, while also giving new instructions to Mann and others: "Mann, put the Get rid of all these mercenaries and cover the retreat of the rebels."

For Bluebird, Mann and others, the level of these mercenaries hired by the Fruit Alliance is really not good. Even if there is no resistance, they want to defeat or simply eliminate these guys. It is just a matter of extra effort. .

The leader of the resistance army also understood how powerful these mercenaries who were invited to help were, so he didn't waste any time and directly ordered the ministries to retreat according to the plan.

After he himself gave the order to fight, he nodded to Blue Bird and left under the escort of several resistance fighters.

This is not about being afraid of death, but for the resistance, the importance of his leader is self-evident. If he is caught or killed, it will not be good for Mexico's cause of resisting corporate rule. Yayu's resistance forces were severely damaged or even wiped out.

This is actually easy to understand. As a figure who has insisted on leading the guerrillas to resist the rule of the Fruit Alliance in the past, the leader of the resistance army has long become a hero in the eyes of the local people and the core soul of the resistance cause.

Fruit Lianhe has already issued the highest level of wanted order against him. For so many years, some people have been thinking about using his head to find Fruit Lianhe in exchange for a bounty.

Therefore, in the past, he had always stayed under the protection of the guerrillas, staying in safe places as much as possible to avoid encountering danger.

Although in the past he was also a legendary figure who personally led the charge and fought on the front line against the company's rule, his identity is completely different now, and it is impossible for him to go to the battlefield in person again.

A leader like him has already become a banner. Even his mere existence can greatly boost morale. Once he falls, the consequences will be disastrous.

If this operation hadn't been the first official operation after transforming from a guerrilla to a rebel army, and he insisted on personally commanding it, the rebel leader should have stayed in the camp at the rear at this moment.

However, Jade Bird doesn't feel much about this. With her here, unless the Fruit Alliance recruits a mechanized armored division, it is impossible to hurt the people she wants to protect under the protection of Jade Bird.

Now that the old man has left, Qingniao is freed from his restraints.

Although Jade Bird has no intention of taking action personally.

After covering the evacuation of the rebels, Mann and the others completely let go of their hands and used various powerful weapons to bombard them in turn. It didn't take long to finish off the Fruit Alliance troops.

"Boss, everything is solved." Mann put away his weapon and reported to Qingniao.

"I saw it, well done." Bluebird had already seen the results of Mann and others through the drone. After praising them, he said, "You guys should withdraw too, the bomb in the factory is about to explode."

After saying that, Qingniao put away the data pad, summoned his drone, and jumped directly from the low building where he was to the street.

Although the previous battles between the two sides looked fierce, in fact the rebels only deployed a total of less than 50 people on a few streets, and the Fruit Alliance troops only had a few vehicles and more than 80 mercenaries in total. .

So until Jade Bird ordered Mann and others to deal with the Fruit Alliance troops, there were no major casualties on either side.

After all, it was just an armed conflict-level battle, and a few killed and injured would be enough.

But Mann and others acted like special forces who intervened in children's play, and instantly destroyed the battle situation and almost wiped out all the Fruit Alliance troops.

"Hey, I just don't want to see this kind of scene, so I don't want to take action myself!" The little man sighed as he walked on the street after the battle, with the smell of gunpowder smoke still in his nose.

But while sighing like this, she also thought about it and activated the bomb installed in the factory.

In fact, if it is just to overthrow the rule of the Fruit Alliance in this country, the fighting power of Mann and others is more than enough.

Whether it is destroying the local factory of Fruit Alliance or directly beheading their person in charge, it is very simple. For the cyberpunk team that is now regarded as a new legend in Night City, although it cannot be said that it can be controlled by hand, But it can’t be said to be difficult.

But such a victory was not a good thing in the eyes of Blue Bird and the leader of the resistance.

If they cannot drive away the oppressors with their own hands, then their resistance will become meaningless and they will not be able to stand up in a true sense.

At this point, she had seen too much of the world before Blue Bird traveled through it.

After World War II, many of the small countries that became independent due to changes in the international situation did not even experience resistance, or simply gained so-called independence with the help of a big country.

This also makes them not cherish the independence they have gained at all, or in other words, they are not ready to be independent and are not truly independent.

The consequence of this is that the people's livelihood in these countries often suffers and they become puppets of major powers. Their leaders are often either corrupt or tyrannical. They are unable to bring the country what the people really want, let alone have any international voice.

Therefore, in Jade Bird's view, if you want to truly stand up, you must personally defeat the oppressor.

Along with Qingniao's thoughts, the Fruit Alliance factory behind her also fell into a sea of ​​​​fire amid the explosion.

1Chapter 16 Resistance Camp

When Blue Bird returned to the rebel stronghold, the others had already returned and were celebrating the success of their first operation after becoming the rebels.

Because the entire Mexico is controlled by the Fruit Alliance, and all cities have Fruit Alliance troops and informants, it is of course impossible for the rebels to set up their strongholds under others' noses.

However, Fruit Lianhe is an outsider after all, and their local control is limited to the city. Although the plantations outside the city are also under their control, some remote towns are beyond the reach of Fruit Lianhe. .

The resistance base was also established in such a small town.

In fact, in the past years when the rebels were still guerrillas, they relied on the support and cover of these towns and villages to constantly deal with the Fruit Alliance troops and even liberated some towns.

As the Blue Bird helped them connect with military technology, assistance from military technology was also continuously sent to the resistance, which allowed them to free up their hands to build these towns and slightly improve the lives of the locals. .

After all, although these places are beyond the reach of Fruit Lianhe, it does not mean that these places will not be oppressed by Fruit Lianhe.

These towns must, like other places, grow cash crops and sell them to the Fruit Alliance to make a living.

It's just that they are self-cultivated farmers, no better than those plantations that have been completely swallowed up by the fruit union, but they can still have a certain degree of freedom and live a relatively decent life.

But the entire country has been controlled by the Fruit Alliance. All trade channels and the entire market in the entire country are under the control of the Fruit Alliance. Even if the farmers grow some food in their own fields, they must sell it to the Fruit Alliance before they can exchange it. Use the money to buy other things they need in life.

And these things are still sold by Fruit Lianhe.

Therefore, unless the people of Mexico return to the most primitive way of bartering, they will not be able to escape the control of the Fruit Alliance.

Not to mention, even if they want to farm, they still need to buy various production tools, crop seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides from Fruit Alliance.

You must know that the land in Mexico itself is not fertile, and coupled with the impact of years of war and industrial pollution, if the land is to be planted and harvested, it does not require a large amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and is specially cultivated for this harsh environment. Nothing can be grown from seeds.

But as the rebels received assistance from military technology, they also gained a channel to communicate and trade with the outside world, bypassing the control of the Fruit Alliance.

Although the main business of Military Technology is various military equipment and security services, as a super large company that is not separated from the federal government, it is normal for them to have some subsidiaries operating other businesses.
