Steel steam and flame

The residence at the volcano base is very quiet, and the several training grounds are far apart. As long as the army is not jointly conducting armored vehicle drills, no explosions can be heard under normal circumstances. Life goes on as usual. The soldiers are strictly supervised in the base and there is basically no time to relax. Only when they go out to perform tasks can they take a breath.

It has been two or three days since Cassia arrived here. Most of the time, he either followed Doyle to familiarize himself with the entire volcano base, or he went to the base's shooting range to practice various firearms that he had not touched for a long time. Those things are all tools that if you don't practice regularly, your own level will drop quickly. The imperial military attaches great importance to this group of students sent to the front. They have great freedom and power in various bases. Many places are open to them, and they can use various firearms at will. But most people look down upon it. Compared with the equipment they brought with them, the quality is inferior in all aspects.

In addition to the bullets used in practice, Cassia also brought the firearms that Delya prepared for him during practice, in order to leave something called "familiarity" on them. No obvious results have been seen in three days. Cassia can only say that she has found the basic feeling of using a gun before. It may take a few days to return to the state of being in school.

But just in this state, with Cassia's foundation and the various amplification effects brought about by the surgery, in three days, his target performance during practice also amazed the people around him. Almost all of them hit the center, and even if the bullet spread, it was only a little bit on the edge of the center. Compared with other soldiers who are also practicing at the shooting range, this kind of hit rate is indeed something that they have to practice dozens of times longer than Cassia to have a chance to achieve it.

During the training break, Cassia was also observing the cooperation drills among the veterans on the training ground, and was beginning to become familiar with some combat modes on the front. Except for battles in mountains and small jungles, combat vehicles and armored vehicles will be equipped, which not only serve as the output point of the main firepower, but also serve as a solid and mobile cover.

The vehicles here on the front are very different from what Cassia saw in the empire. It is mainly reflected in the thick armor layer, which is made of various metal alloys with steel as the main material. The thickness can resist a small number of large-caliber platinum bullets. During the design, we have considered welding and installing these steel plates at a suitable tilt angle, so that the bullet has a chance of hitting the steel plate and changing its trajectory, quickly flying into the air, or directly hitting the ground. Most of the designs here are like this. As a kind of vehicle, they also need a certain degree of convenience, and the steel plates cannot be made too thick. Moreover, although it functions as a bunker, no matter what it is, it is impossible to withstand the torrent of steel under the fire network.

There are individual artillery launch tubes on the battle line, which weigh less than a few dozen kilograms. As long as veterans have received long-term weight-bearing training, they will have excellent flexibility when carrying it. It is the best way to ambush in a hidden place with teammates holding ammunition to destroy the strong bunker created by this tank.

There is nothing that cannot be dealt with on the front, most of it depends on the actual situation. Normally, the Empire and the Far Sea Commonwealth each go deep into the long front line just to observe the current situation of the enemy country. They all need to follow up on each other's changes at all times and find out specific information so that they can prepare countermeasures before the next war comes.

In the volcano base, a group of soldiers below were thinking whether they would actually start a war with the Far Sea Commonwealth in a few days or a few months. Some veterans have lost interest in such speculation, and some officers in the base are not at all worried that war will come early. This can be seen from the empty airport that has been vacant for more than ten years. They have great confidence in grasping the timing of the war.

"The war between the Empire and the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance, so to speak, in a certain sense, is no longer a matter for us humans to decide, and of course it does not matter the Empire's Parliament. It has become a specific Ritual, as long as there is a signal between the stars in the sky, this ritual will happen on time within a specific period of time." These were the words from Doyle's mouth. Cassia recalled the history of the empire in his head, and what he had done before. Ye Jielin knew something and felt that this was indeed the case.

"It is not easy to fight with other countries. Everyone wants peace. And war is not something that can be talked about casually. There are too many things involved, and it requires conditions. So for thousands of years, the empire and The other two countries are also at war intermittently." The content of the books Doyle usually read played a big role when talking to Cassia, "I always feel that several countries are inseparable from each other. I don’t know how to evaluate something like war. Before long, you will probably be able to cross the ring of mountains surrounding the volcano base and see what the battle lines that lie across there look like. It may be unexpected, but it may also be the same as There are many differences between your own imagination.”

Cassia always felt that this was still too far away from her. After graduating from the military school, they did not necessarily have to serve in the war until death.

Life in the base seems to be no different from that in school, probably except for the fact that there are a different group of people around me, and the only thing is that the air has become more sober. Except for Doyle, who I had just met here, no one could talk to him. So when Kasia really knew what happened to Manoma not long ago, it was already five days later.

There was no report in newspapers or radio broadcasts. Although the news quickly spread throughout the empire, the number of people who knew about it was still very limited, and most of them were surgeons.

It was Doyle who came to inform Cassia that Warehouse No. 7 had received his letter and allowed him time to go and collect it. Not surprisingly, only Bolei seemed to know where he was.

There was also a thick stack of documents wrapped in a sealed bag, and a series of events that happened to the Manomachila Andi family were clearly written on it, along with several colorful photos of the party. As one of the Knights of the Round Table, Nickel was regarded as the core of this matter, and the documents said a lot about him.

The person who signed the document was indeed Bie. He thought it was good for Cassia to know these situations, although he felt that it was a bit late.
