Macho Wars

That night, Howard stayed at Li's house for one night. In the morning, he had breakfast with the Dragon family members before leaving.For busy veteran generals, this can be regarded as relaxing after a vacation.

Afterwards, Dragon repeated what Howard had said to himself with his wives, and no one thought that Howard would have thought so openly.

It is necessary to know that in the history of the empire, there has never been a situation where two princesses married the same person, not to mention that Dragoon is still a "generation of nobleman" among the common people, which is even more honorable.

However, Dragon also understands that the main purpose of Howard's move is to "together."Asking him to marry two princesses and publicly appoint him as his successor is to strengthen the bond between him and the royal family and make Dragon a more determined royalist party to assist the young emperor.

However, the side effect of this is to make him a thorn in the eye of the nobility.

Ok!In fact, Dragon has never been very popular with nobles.

Two days later, Dragon quietly left Pandora on a military plane and went to inspect a confidential training field in the hinterland of the mainland.The Eastern Empire has currently installed more than forty Pelican medium-sized transport aircraft, but most of these aircraft are not deployed at the several large military airports near Pandora, but are transferred to a secret airport that is not marked on the map.

This airport is 1,300 kilometers away from Pandora in a straight line. It is located at the junction of the inland grassland and the central desert. The locals are inaccessible, and even the indigenous people will not settle in this area.Therefore, Dragun chose this place and sent engineers to secretly build a large airport, preparing to secretly engage in some things that are not suitable for public at present.

After the completion of the airport, Dragoon, under the banner of flight training, allowed the Transport Aircraft Wing to transport 6,000 carefully selected soldiers to the airport in batches.They will receive seven months of secret training here in order to perform a difficult combat mission in future counter-offensive operations.

The military gave this force destined to gallop in the clouds a very appropriate and appropriate codename-"Air Cavaliers"!

As a matter of fact, as early as when the transport aircraft project was established, Dragon had already intended to build a special airborne force. For this reason, he also wrote a special report, expounding in detail what the airborne troops can do in future wars. The role and importance of acting.

Unfortunately, this report did not attract high-level attention at the time, because the empire had formed similar troops. As a result, it suffered heavy losses when it participated in actual combat for the first time. The airship transporting airborne troops was observed on the ground before it reached the destination. The station found that it was then double intercepted by enemy airships and ground artillery units. After landing, the surviving troops were quickly defeated because they were too scattered.

But Dragon felt that the main reason for the failure of the airborne troops formed by the empire was that the rigid airships used as the delivery platform were not good, and there were also problems with the training and operational positioning of the airborne troops.

And the paratrooper he wants to form is based on the standards of the earth.Of all 6,000 officers and soldiers, the backbones are elites drawn from the First Marine Division and Military Academy, while the soldiers are selected from the best in the Marine Corps training camp, the most elite group.

During the overlord operation, Dragon planned to use these six thousand paratroopers to board two hundred transport planes to penetrate into the enemy's hinterland from the air, battalion-based raids and seize traffic arteries and bridges.Theoretically speaking, after capturing the target, these airborne troops only need to hold on for one to two days before they can wait for reinforcements from the main force. Although the pressure and casualties are destined to be great, they are at least not performing suicide missions.

When Dragoon’s plane arrived at the training base, the first group of paratroopers, who were the first to be trained, were conducting experimental parachuting exercises. A total of 12 transport planes were dispatched to carry 400 soldiers.After learning about it, Dragoon didn't want the plane to land in a hurry, but took him directly to the exercise area to observe the parachuting exercise directly from the air.

Through the porthole of the plane, Dragun clearly saw hundreds of paratroopers leaping out of the cabin one by one, blooming small blue and white mushrooms in the air.Looking at these parachutes, Dragon turned his head and asked Tafe on the side.

"Who came up with the color scheme of this parachute?"

"Those people in the technical department came up with it. They think this color scheme can easily blend with the blue sky and white clouds from the ground, and it helps to hide."

"Tell them to change to off-white, go to his blue and white striped camouflage!"

After watching the airborne exercise, Dragoon’s plane landed at the airport, and the mid- and high-level officers of the paratrooper training camp were waiting to be greeted at the airport early.Since the backbone of the airborne brigade is mainly from the elite of the Marine Corps, most of the officers present are old men of Dragon.

Sometimes Dragon finds it very interesting. The member of his own team keeps on following the expansion of the Marine Corps. Like the first independent regiment he brought out, the current veteran may not even reach one-tenth. Almost all who can live to this day have become non-commissioned officers or military officers.And the blooming of these old birds has also allowed Dragoon's influence to spread, as if it had become a group of its own.

After Dragoon got off the plane, the person in charge of the base immediately saluted, and then followed Dragon to introduce him to the current situation of the base and the training progress of the troops.

The state of the entire unit is currently quite good. The earliest first batch of students basically met the requirements of the training syllabus, and three actual parachute jumps have been organized.

Dragon was very satisfied with the report of the person in charge, but the person in charge immediately changed the conversation, saying that they had recently encountered a problem and hoped that Dragon would help them make up their minds.

Just last week, patrols outside the base arrested a group of men and women who had trespassed in the military restricted zone.The other party claimed to be a well-known archaeological team from Pandora, and the members were all imperial people. They had no idea that there was a military restricted zone here.

The base immediately detained these people and contacted Pandora to verify the identities of these people. They were indeed imperial people, and there were a few prominent noble children among them.Upon hearing the report from the person in charge, Dragoon immediately thought of an acquaintance.

Chapter 532: The Story of the Weasels

Archeology is an activity not supported by most countries. Almost all mainstream countries except the Eastern Qin are very secretive about mainland history, and they never explain why the sacred calendar of 10,000 years is about to be imminent, but the records in history books even contain 800 The year is not here yet.This is a problem that most people find strange, but because they are used to it, they don't care much.

In such a state of "total ignorance", archaeology has become a money-burning game wandering on the edge of the law, and only a few people are still persistent.

Dragon happened to know such a person, and she was Dallossi Martini.

In fact, Dragun had just heard the head of the base say that an archaeological team had strayed into the military restricted area, and he had already guessed that it might be a "spicy woman". As a result, he asked carefully... it was really!

Under the guidance of the person in charge of the base, Dragon came to the confinement room and saw Dallosi and others who had been in custody for a week.Across the bars between the two sides, Dallosi gave Dragon a shy but deadly smile.

"What a coincidence, General Li."

"My Qiao Nima..."

After all, he is an old acquaintance, and Dallosi is also the niece of his old boss General Henry. Naturally, Dragon will not treat them as a person, but the rules of the military restricted zone can’t just make an exception for them, so It's absolutely impossible to let them out.Moreover, when the base patrol unit arrested them, they found a full two hundred kilograms of military explosives from the truck. The patrol team did not rush them all on the spot, and they already maintained maximum restraint.

Although Dragon didn't believe that Dallosi, who had only archaeology in his head, would be a spy, the archaeologists under her were different.In addition, he is really curious, how did these guys get here?Dallosi knew everything about him, even faintly showing off.

"Didn't your archaeological team have been in the ninth area before? Have you all explored such a large underground palace group?"

"There is no need to explore every corner of the underground palace. We later found the core area of ​​the underground palace and traced it all the way along the clues. As a result, I never thought that your military people actually covered it here silently. A military base."

"The core area of ​​the underground palace? What clue?"

"Hey! It's a map, a map beyond imagination! Although it is different from the New World map we are using now, it can be roughly matched. The above shows the dungeon group like the ninth district, in the New World There are 28 underground cities in total, each of which is an underground city with its own name. Therefore, we speculate that the previous civilization may be an underground civilization, and the largest underground city is in the desert hinterland in the middle of the mainland, away from here About 120 kilometers. If you didn't stray into the military restricted zone and be caught by you, we would have been there long ago."

Dallosi said with excitement that this will be a sensational discovery of the century, so he eagerly hopes that Dragon can release them as soon as possible. They are really not spies.

But Dragon can only regret to tell her... impossible!

"It's a pity, Miss Dallosi, I can protect your personal safety, but I really can't let you out now."

"why?"

"No, it involves military secrets. You should have been secretly grateful for not being executed secretly. Stay here honestly, I promise you can be released for up to seven months, even those in your car that are illegal I can return the product to you, I hope you can understand."

"but……"

"No but! You'd better not have the crooked idea of ​​jailbreak in your mind. I personally admire your persistence to ideals, but I also trouble you to be mature when chasing dreams, and don't always mess with others. Trouble, do you know what I mean? Miss Dallosi!"

"……understand."

Dallosi replied frustratedly, completely defeated in momentum.

Seeing that she hadn't made a big quarrel, Dragon said that this little expert has become a little more mature after all, so he handed a pocket to the detention room, and comforted.

"There is an old saying that you will move afterwards. You may wish to calm down in the past few months and organize and study the information at hand. Since the ruins you are going to have existed for so long, they will continue to exist in the future. A year or so, there is no impact."

Leaving the detention center, Dragon told the guards to take care of these people. As long as they can stay here honestly, they can try their best to satisfy any requests that are not excessive.

The paratrooper training base is currently classified as level one, but this state will only last until the day when the counter-offensive operations officially begin. This is a big surprise that Dragon and Howard have jointly prepared for Firavi!

If all goes well, the airborne brigade is expected to need 18 weeks of intensive training, and to ensure that each paratrooper can conduct more than 20 parachuting exercises before going into actual combat.All officers and soldiers know that they will carry out the most dangerous combat mission, and they will be surrounded by enemy troops when they land.

Therefore, in order to ensure their survival rate, in addition to stricter training, weapons and equipment are also doing everything they can to provide them with the best guys.

Dragon stayed at the paratrooper training base for three days before returning to Port Pandora. The first time he returned, Howard was called to the office.The battle plan for "Operation Overlord" has been initially completed, and Howard is preparing to officially start the first phase of the operation.

The primary goal of the first stage is to "capture the island" and serve as a forward base for subsequent operations.It is planned to use seven divisions to seize all eleven large and medium-sized islands in the coastal areas of the mainland in one go, and build permanent fortifications on the islands to form a blockade "island chain."

Both Dragon and Howard believe that if you want to deceive the enemy, it is useless to rely solely on hiding. What you pay attention to is the coexistence of truth and falsehood.Sometimes they just want to play a "empty city plan", deliberately revealing their true intentions, and let the other side fall into suspicion.

Whoever thinks diligently first (thinks too much), whoever gets caught easily!
