"What is MDS doing? Didn't they already tell them not to ignore the enemy's provocations, as long as they contained the 'white guys' and then concentrated their fire on the enemy ships, the battle would be over!"

A fist slammed into the armrest of the command platform, and Lieutenant Colonel Edelman's annoyed voice echoed in the bridge, and several bridge members subconsciously shrunk their necks.

The deputy captain is privately called "the nagging old man" by the crew, and it is conceivable how this usually manages his subordinates. Even if you don't care about the sky and the earth and shit and fart, it's not much worse. Of course, having said that, if it weren't for the responsible deputy captain like Lieutenant Commander Edelman, Lund Bell would have been in an accident somewhere, and the entire crew would have been promoted to the next level (the special promotion for those who died in battle, and sometimes the generals who died in accidents also enjoyed this treatment).

The patience that can make this middle school director preach for several hours can be furious, and it can be seen that the development of the war situation has touched the bottom line of patience of most high-ranking officers.

Occupying an absolute numerical advantage and being played by the opponent's single machine, no matter how tolerant the commander is, he has to slap the table and scold people, like Lieutenant Colonel Edelman, who has endured until now to break out, is already a very cultivated breed. The bridges of the other wingmen were already full of red and blue pencils.

"The performance of the airframe is so poor. ”

Sitting cross-legged on the podium and rubbing his chin, Parsifal said:

"Even if you don't want to pay attention to the other person's provocation, people will use their fists to stimulate you. No matter how patient a person is, after being stimulated repeatedly, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not lose control. ”

In fact, most of the soldiers have a temper tantrum at the slightest point, and in the face of blatant provocations, they will inevitably redouble their devotions. Originally, this was not a problem, if the soldiers did not even have this bit of blood and courage, what kind of battle would they fight? However, if the performance of the equipment and the technical and tactical level of the belligerents were too poor, it would be useless to have no flesh and blood bravery.

This is true of the battles of Charlemagne and Alfheim to date, as well as of the battles of the White Airframe and the shipborne MDS units.

body performance;

the level of skill of the user;

The gap between these two aspects is enough for enemy aircraft to close or even surpass the numerical disadvantage to help them realize their tactics of luring the enemy.

If it weren't for such high-performance equipment and piloting skills, even if the gap was too big to narrow a little bit, the Shoshi would have been able to divide their forces to encircle and suppress the white airframe while cooperating with ground fire to flank and kill the unsuspecting enemy ships in the fall, as Lieutenant Colonel Edelman said before.

But the opponent's out-of-spec performance and technology made this tactic come to naught.

What's going on with that plane?

In the final analysis, MDS is a low-cost exoskeleton mobile weapon that can take on tasks such as reconnaissance, close fire support, and stronghold suppression on a battlefield full of jamming particles. In Alfheim, where the size of the army is destined to be lower than that of other countries, the MDS can minimize the logistical burden, and the performance, the number of production equipment, and the stability are much higher than those of the mage and the flying beast, which is a weapon created to compensate for the size of the army. In essence, this is still a weapon in line with a war of attrition and a total war. Therefore, in general, the research and development direction of MDS is "to maintain a sufficient number of sexually available", and the special installation machine and trial machine with excess power are very rare things, and that MDS is just one of them.

MDS "Unicorn" - the technology verification machine of the next generation MDS development plan. According to the General Armament Department, the current technology is not enough to control this fierce horse, and barely riding it will only make the Shoshi and the body finish together. After the basic performance test and parameter collection are completed, it will be sealed and stored. It wasn't until "it was robbed by the enemy due to a mistake by the security department" that this body, which was once taboo as a "monster", was able to see the light of day.

"Since you know that it is a dangerous product, you should take care of it, otherwise you can simply disassemble it and return it to the furnace. So casually, they were snatched by the enemy, and they used it to eat us...... What the hell is the security department doing? Are they caring suppliers for dads who are worried about what to give their children for Christmas?"

After complaining to the "incompetent security department" in one breath, Parsifal stared at the battlefield with gloom.

There is no way to break the status quo, as long as we continue to increase the number of troops. Superiority is always relative, no matter how advanced weapons are, there are also their limits, and under reasonable tactical configuration, there have never been many examples of the backward side of the performance of the opponent to counterkill the superior equipment. Parsifal believed that if two more squadrons were to be committed, they would be able to break through the upper limit of the white body's handling, and the battle would continue on its original trajectory.

But he couldn't realize that idea because it was beyond his purview.

Now the "Unicorn" is entangled in all the shipborne MDS that can be put into operation by the 2nd Cruiser Detachment, and the fleet's own air defense can no longer be taken care of. In order to mobilize and invest more MDS, it was necessary to apply to the higher authorities for reinforcements from the batteries or the 1st Cruiser Detachment. The problem is that it takes time, and the superiors may not agree.

The shackles of self-centeredness and bureaucracy exist in any organization, and the Defence Force, which is known for its efficiency, is no exception. The progressive command transmission system, the need for generals to maintain their authority, and the different understandings of the battle situation...... Under the interaction of various "frictional forces", it is difficult to expect the commanders who only have their own acres and thirds of land in their eyes to understand the fact that "the white body is likely to become the key to turning the tide of the war".

“...... Heroes exist. ”

Almost subconsciously, Parsifal muttered a subtle insight.

The goal of life is to be a salary thief, and at the same time to be a rationalist professional soldier. Based on his life experience and knowledge of the course of history, he has a considerable degree of aversion to words like "hero".

peculiar people;

people who respond to people's requests;

those who bring miracles;

people who start a new era;

those who are praised by the masses;

There is no shortage of people called "heroes" in any era, who are celebrated and worshipped, who write books and speeches, and who become the objects of imitation and imitation by the authorities.

For such a remarkable group of portraits, Parsifal did not have the slightest admiration.

Parsifal, who has left-wing tendencies in his thinking, naturally does not have a very good impression of hero worship, and on the other hand, in his opinion, the so-called "heroes" themselves are different from ordinary people. The so-called "learning like a hero" means asking the mortal masses to learn from the anomalous, which is clearly in conflict with Parsifal's thinking. Finally, Parsifal is even more unbearable for the act of justifying and glorifying the cruelty and gore of war by exaggerating heroes.

(War is war, war is hell.) There are no knights who defeat demons here, and there are no brave men who rescue the imprisoned princesses. Some are just professional soldiers fighting each other at the bottom of the mud and the cogs that make up the war machine. ）

The military is an apparatus of violence, a cog of the organization of the state - and that is enough. The machine has a mind, the gears have a will, and in the end it will inevitably go to the same point of no return as Charlemagne.

However, it is extremely ironic that Charlemagne, who gave birth to the monster of "militarism", has now given birth to a "hero" who echoes the people.

No, it's more than that.

“...... Now that guy has become a hero of our army. ”
