Steel steam and flame

The old housekeeper looked at the white smoke gathering in the air and shook his head. Norentel didn't seem to know that the situation had become urgent. After reminding him a few more times, the housekeeper stopped talking until Norentel became a little impatient. If given the chance, he really wanted to board the airship and go to Xuefeng to personally direct and supervise the whole process. There is no room for mistakes. The things accumulated in the warehouse there are very important, and it took a long time to get them out of the base through various methods. The risks involved are huge, and with the precedent of what happened at the volcano base a few years ago, it becomes much more difficult to profit from it.

But the housekeeper always remembered his commander's words, and felt that his blood, which had been frozen for many years, surged slightly.

"Everyone is doing it, why can't this 'everyone' be us?" I feel that even at this age, I have always been a housekeeper, and whether it is my own strength, funds or power, I am just doing it by force. The state of his life also maintains an unclear relationship with himself.

Although he disagreed with his boss on some ordinary things, in some aspects, he admired him from the bottom of his heart, which was something he had always lacked. The position of a senior officer at a volcano base at such an age is not entirely driven by the forces behind it. He has no strength or excellence, and in an empire that has no shortage of assembly-line products, it may not be the turn of a "commodity figure" like him to fill the missing positions.

"Old housekeeper, don't worry, you will receive the information as soon as possible tomorrow afternoon. Do you think our team that was planted in the volcano base are really the soldiers here?" Norentl sucked off a third of the Smoke, blowing out a big smoke ring in a showmanlike manner, rolling towards the sky and moving slowly, condensed for a long time, "There is no need for us to do it. If you don't believe us, those airships in the airport should be able to put your confidence in it." Right? Even with the firepower of the enemy's airship, they can still shoot at each other. And it is a good guess that they are also a modified airship, mainly used to transport a large number of people, and their firepower must have been reduced... "

The housekeeper had already walked out of the place where Norenter was staying, and the words behind him could not be heard. He didn't want to know that there were still many things to deal with. The Empire's New Year's Day would be soon, and there would definitely be a supply rearrangement by then. The specific action route has not yet been finalized. Once the supplies enter the warehouse of the base and are recorded by the analysis machine, it will be extremely troublesome to erase a bit of the data.

And not long after, it was also the time when the volcano base submitted the total data for the past year to the imperial military. All data will be analyzed and compared through special computing programs and the military's super analysis machine. Most of these data are interrelated, and the probability of a super analysis machine making an error is infinitely close to zero, which requires them to review the materials and data carefully. Some work analysis machines cannot help them. To satisfy the superiors and find obvious loopholes, they can only rely on analysis and processing talents hired at high prices from all over the empire.

When we walked outside, the air suddenly became much fresher. The searchlight in the distance barely illuminated a little of the ground. In the light, the blizzard continued, and the temperature seemed to have dropped again. Returning to the office building on the side of the base, passing by the airport, the housekeeper saw the airship being maintained by a group of people.

Under the blizzard and under the illumination of countless lights, technicians were using tools to make final inspections and adjustments to the airship that was about to rise. There were also small bags of ammunition on the side, artillery shells that were more than half the height of an adult, and rows of neatly arranged aerial bombs, which were slowly loaded into its own ammunition warehouse through the airship's own lifting device. There are two water pipelines. As one of the sources of steam power, compared with the power tubes that carry electricity, the treatment of water volume is only slightly solved by circulation and super vapor compression devices.

It has not taken off for a long, long time. Ever since the housekeeper followed his commander to the volcano base, he has only seen maintenance and upkeep. He himself has never experienced war, and he does not know what the difference between peacetime and wartime is like between the three huge countries.

After taking the information back to his room, the housekeeper took out another document again and began to help with some tedious matters without taking a rest.

,,,,,,

Using a sniper rifle in this kind of terrain with extraordinary accuracy really gave the major and the others a headache. I don’t know how to aim. Even with the light of the flares, many people on both sides have been standing at the intersection of light and darkness, making it difficult to tell the actual and virtual positions. If he only relied on his intuition and reasoning as a sniper, the captain believed that the scope on the sniper rifle could be removed and used.

Failure is probably a foregone conclusion, and I don’t know how long ago the ammunition problem appeared. When several captains relied on the firepower of heavy machine guns and good firing skills to fight against the enemy, their fingers pressed down on the trigger and the guns in their hands no longer vibrated slightly. This feeling of something missing in their bodies for a moment really made them feel Chills all over. The supply of ammunition began to run out, and there was not much spare ammunition. The enemy's advance seemed to become faster.

The major was also in front, using steel-cased bombs with precise countdowns. Complex factors turned into simple geometry in his brain. This strength was a major reason why the enemy failed to advance on a large scale and crush them. However, it failed to get the entire team out of its current predicament. The only good news that was comforting was that when they retreated, they came to the snowy roads that the enemy had opened not long ago when they advanced.

The impact of snow on ordinary soldiers was suddenly reduced a lot, and the body could switch between ancient trees more flexibly. The marksmanship and personnel were finally able to initially cooperate and withstand the enemy's attack, but the retreat trend remained. There was no defensive position available on the gentle terrain, and even the ancient trees couldn't stop the enemy's nearly endless bullets.

After ten o'clock, the personnel on both sides showed signs of weakness. The situation on Major Barron's side was even more serious. The big blizzard began to fall in real form, but it had not yet reached the peak of its power. The wind also penetrated into the woods. Fortunately, the major and the others stood on the head of the wind and were little affected by the wind during the attack. Even if the enemy is wearing a mask, the snowflakes in the wind and the snow mist rising from the snow will hit him head-on. Without wiping the lenses at any time, it will be impossible to aim and observe the surroundings.

The firepower of both sides dropped significantly at this point. On the one hand, it is because of snow and snow fog, and on the other hand, it is due to ammunition problems.

The major breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. He didn't know what would happen in the future, but at least for a while after this, the enemy's movements should not be too big. Although the coming blizzard made them suffer from the obstacles of temperature and wind, it was indeed more reassuring compared to the enemies following closely.

"Prepare some medicine and toxic gas, the dose and concentration should be high." The major took advantage of the rare moment to say to the two captains who are good at biological medicine, "The enemy may take off the mask. As a surgeon, you have to wear a mask." The impact is far greater than nothing. Also, are there some powdery things that can stick to the human body and infect the body with the agent that invades the body through unhealed wounds? Most of the enemies are injured, and they don’t seem to have Professional doctors, some people who were injured by artillery had some minor wounds, but they did not treat them in time."
