Lan Jue didn't say anything, nor did he ask any questions. He quickened his pace.
Lan Qing walked in front, while Lan Jue walked behind.
A maglev car appeared not far away. The two got in, and Lan Qing drove deeper into the base.
The maglev car drove into a small base and finally stopped in front of a metal door. Alighting, Lan Qing walked to the door and scanned it with a beam of light.
The door opened!
The two brothers walked in.
This was a very simple room, and it was filled with the smell of metal.
All kinds of equipment and screens were scattered around the room.
At this time, there were several staff members busy in the room.
When they saw Lan Qing come in, they all stood up and saluted.
Lan Qing returned the salute. The soldiers sat down again and continued with their previous work, not saying a word from beginning to end.
Lan Qing walked to a large screen and stopped. Lan Jue stood beside him.
"The mechas have been prepared for you.
Gao Lei will send the armrests over in a moment, "Lan Qing said.
Lan Jue nodded. "Thank you."
Lan Qing waved his hand. "No need to thank me. This is what you deserve.
Your performance has exceeded my expectations.
Nowadays, there are very few things that can exceed my expectations. "
These words seemed very simple and calm when they came out of his mouth, but it gave off a very convincing feeling.
A small smile spread across Lan Jue's face. "How could my students be bad?
You are teaching an army.
I only have a few dozen people. "
Lan Qing glared at him with cold eyes.
"Don't be complacent."
Lan Jue was stunned.
Lan Qing tapped on the screen in front of him.
The screen showed the battlefield where they had fought earlier.
On the battlefield, both armies had just entered.
Then came a series of changes on the battlefield. From the An Lun army's advance to the Fourth Squad's defeat, to Lan Jue leading the other four squads in a five-pronged attack that broke the Snake Formation.
Lan Jue: "Why are you showing me this?"
Lan Qing said, "I'll let you see these.
It was finding fault.
In this battle, you clearly could have performed better.
If you were only training individual mecha operators, then there was nothing wrong with continuing at this level.
However, if you want to train them into soldiers, then this level is far from enough.
What happened just now was just a drill. If it was a real war, our side might suffer heavy losses.
However, the final victory will definitely be ours. "
Lan Jue raised an eyebrow.
Unconvinced, he said, "Do you plan to do it again?
In my impression, you're not someone who doesn't admit defeat. "
Lan Qing glanced at him and pressed a few buttons.
The screen zoomed in on the screen. Details began to appear.
Phantoms began to appear on the battlefield.
These phantoms were An Lun soldiers.
Lan Jue's face tightened as he watched.
The first thing he saw was an An Lun soldier pouncing towards his opponent.
It was Gao Lei, and his opponent was Tan Lingyun.
In the end, Gao Lei had lost to Tan Lingyun's frontal assault. That had given Tan Lingyun time to focus on the battlefield, allowing him to claim victory in that area.
However, the situation changed in the simulated light and shadow.
Gao Lei hadn't lost. He'd taken his opponent down with him.
Lan Qing's voice was placid. "All of our An Lun mechas have a special function. Self-destruct.
The self-detonation protocol varied from person to person, and every soldier was individually assigned to it.
Soldiers without special abilities could self-destruct by injecting the maximum amount of energy.
Soldiers with Esper Abilities would inject their Esper Abilities and energy to the maximum, and the mech would self-destruct.
The power of this self-detonation, combined with the mechas' core, was more than three times their normal attack power.
That assistant instructor of yours isn't weak, but he's not a qualified commander.
By the time she defeated Gao Lei, there weren't many of her comrades left.
As an eighth rank Adept, she couldn't even take care of her comrades on the battlefield. She's not a qualified soldier.
If Gao Lei had chosen to self-destruct at the last moment, there'd be an eighty-seven percent chance she'd die with him. A thirteen percent chance she'd be gravely injured.
A one hundred percent chance she wouldn't have been able to fight. "
Lan Jue didn't quite believe him. "But is Gao Lei sure to find the best time to self-destruct on the battlefield?
After all, his life is at stake. "
Lan Qing rapped his knuckles on the table. He turned to a soldier on his left. "What percentage of our mechas have self-destructed in the last five years?"
The soldier rose to his feet and saluted. "Reporting to the Marshal. In the last five years, self-destructing mechas have accounted for 84.63 percent of our losses."
Lan Jue's face went slack as the numbers popped up.
Self-destruction accounted for more than eighty percent of losses. What did that mean?
In other words, 84.63% of An Lun's mechas had self-destructed on the battlefield.
Once a mecha exploded, there was no way to escape.
Lan Qing was telling him that if this were a real battlefield, Gao Lei would have chosen to self-destruct for the sake of the bigger picture.
"That's too cruel!" It wasn't that Lan Jue hadn't killed before. On the contrary, he'd killed many on the battlefield.
Sometimes, he'd even been willing to give his life for the sake of battle. Just like on Taihua.
However, it was simply unimaginable for all the students he had trained to be able to do this.
"Cruel?" Lan Qing's voice was cold. "That word doesn't exist on the battlefield. There's only victory and defeat.
If this had been a real battle, and Gao Lei had chosen to self-destruct, not only would he have been able to kill your assistant, but he would have also given his allies the upper hand.
At the same time, it would allow their 20 allies to have the upper hand and even end the battle without any losses.
One for twenty. How shocking would such a ratio be on the battlefield?
Not to mention the 20 people who survived.
They could still save others.
It's the same on other battlefields.
Your students.
They're strong individually.
But …
Are their mental fortitude as strong as their combat prowess?
Generally speaking, if they've witnessed more than three self-destructions, their morale will be destroyed.
But if they've suffered more than ten self-destructions, their morale will crumble.
If this were a real battle, we'd only need to lose thirty percent of our forces to wipe you out. "
As he listened to Lan Qing's words, Lan Jue felt as if his world had been turned upside down.
"But they're soldiers!
They're not machines! "Lan Jue tried to refute her brother.
Lan Qing's voice was cold. "Our An Lun army is made of flesh and blood!
If you can't do that, then you don't deserve to be called an An Lun soldier.
The soldiers aren't the only ones with self-destruct systems. Captains, commanders, commanders, divisions, and even I, the marshal, Prometheus, have them.
The moment we joined the An Lun army, the moment we got our Bloodsoul mechas, we were prepared to sacrifice our lives for the Alliance.
That's why you're not facing the real An Lun army.
You're just soldiers with their hands and feet tied up.
Look! "
He pressed another button as he spoke.
A slow-motion replay appeared on the screen.
Lan Jue was observant. She quickly noticed that many of the An Lun soldiers made a subconscious movement when they were on the verge of defeat.
It was a similar movement. Their right hands moved to their waists.
"That's where they'll self-destruct.
Even if it's just a drill, they'll do it instinctively.
I'll tell you this, we've done our research. We've calculated how many Bloodsoul mechas are needed to kill a God-ranked pilot.
How many Bloodsoul mechas are needed to kill a ninth rank Adept?
This data is a top secret of the An Lun army, but it's also of utmost importance.
The An Lun army's losses aren't high, but their fatality rate is high. That's why. "
Lan Jue was stunned. He'd racked his brains, exhausted every last ounce of energy he could think of to lead his students to victory. How could he have known that this drill was nothing more than a drill? They still stood no chance.
Lan Qing moved the video to the front. "But if I were to take command of your students, along with five qualified captains, then things would be different.
Of your five squads, this is the only one qualified. "
The video cut to Tang Xiao's third squad.
Lan Jue watched as Lan Jue focused on defense, then attacked from afar.
"This squad's composition is reasonable. They have a captain who's strong and clear-headed.
They use defense to lure the enemy away from the terrain and attack from the air.
Then they show off their long-range abilities, and end the battle without a single casualty.
That's the only bright spot in your squad.
This captain is qualified.
The other squads aren't.
In other words, including yourself, all the other commanders have failed. "
"You shouldn't be so far off in terms of command.
That's because you're too focused on me. "
Lan Qing didn't hesitate to point out Lan Jue's problem. "Your strategy revolves around me.
You've neglected everything else. You've been too lax in your command of the battle. If you'd had more control over your students, you'd have suffered fewer casualties.
Also, your biggest mistake was the grouping.
Since all the students you've brought are Adepts, and all of them are fairly strong Adepts, why don't you group them according to their Adepts?
In this aspect, only this small team did well, but not everyone's strength was displayed to the fullest.
