    Seeing that the rest of the soldiers and officers were scared, Liu Sihao simply sent them all back to the rear and sent a large number of people up to form a brand-new crackdown unit.

    By doing so, we can not only prevent these discouraged survivors from affecting morale, but also save the loyal officers who have been bribed by themselves.

    In the next battle, Liu Sihao's army did not know whether it was evil or something, but they did not have to look for the enemy, so the enemy poured in directly from all directions towards Liu Sihao.

    Moreover, it is not as simple as four or five enemies, but dozens of enemies pounce on them.

    Moreover, these enemies suddenly changed their habits and did not flee even if they were defeated in the war. Every time they made Liu Sihao's troops almost dead, they were wiped out and won the victory by Liu Sihao's troops, forcing Liu Sihao to fight every battle. We have to make a big change for the clean-up troops.?.

    After two or three major changes of blood, as soon as I heard that the officers and soldiers who were about to be transferred to clean up the troops, they looked dead gray, not at all the manner in which they had to fight to eliminate the troops when they broke their heads not long ago.

    Liu Sihao not only paid no attention to the fact that so many people in his troops were killed and injured one after another, but was complacent. Because of so many battles, I took part in all the battles, and all the games were victories.

    In this way, when you evaluate your achievements, you can at least skip the ranks of captain and captain and be promoted directly to major, right?

    Ha ha, as long as you become a major, you will be an upper-ranking officer in the Datang army.

    The triumphant Liu Sihao suddenly remembered that after the last Datang war, the promotion of school-level officers had not yet been carried out. According to the results of the last battle, there should be many school-level officers, right? So the major in his plan is probably just a middle-ranking officer.

    No, I must be a superior officer! Now, apart from this battle, there is probably no chance for me, the commander of the ground force, to establish meritorious deeds. I must seize this rare opportunity!

    Even if all my men are dead, I will wipe out all the enemies in this area! Only by doing such a meritorious service can I become an upper-ranking officer of the Datang army!

    Having made this decision, Liu Sihao, in spite of the opposition of his subordinates, continued to deploy troops to join the crackdown force, and it was the adjustment of the whole team and the whole team.

    Originally, there were only 500 chariots and 5,000 soldiers, but he was made into a large army with 3,000 chariots and 30,000 soldiers.

    Liu Sihao, who originally thought that with a large army, he could not care about the enemy attack, soon realized why his subordinates would dissuade himself from concentrating so many troops.

    Because, the large army in this piece of potholed ruins, the movement is extremely difficult, and the team can be divided into several pieces at any time. And the most incredible thing is that the more troops you have, the more enemies you will encounter.

    Now Liu Sihao is attacked by a thousand metal spiders and 100,000 mecha fighters.

    "Damn it! Will these guys decide the number of troops to be deployed because of the strength of the enemy? Otherwise, the more soldiers I have, the more they will be.

    "how did these bastards hide in the ruins with so many bastards? How did you find me? "

    Liu Sihao looked at the vast expanse of the enemy in front of him, regardless of the battle and the scolding of the occasion.

    However, although Liu Sihao uttered a torrent of abuse, he did not forget to call fighter jets to carry out bombing immediately.

    Unfortunately, by the time the fighters arrived, Liu Sihao's troops had become one with the enemy. The fighters could not help but blow up their own people and hit the enemy at the same time, so they had no choice but to hover in the air.

    Watching his troops getting fewer and fewer, and as the enemy became fiercer in Vietnam, Liu Sihao, hiding in a makeshift bunker, began to pray to the gods in his heart that he would live. He didn't want to do so much hard work, but he couldn't accept the promotion alive.

    Aware of the irreparable situation of the war, he began to think about how he could escape and how he could not be held responsible for escaping from the war.

    While Liu Sihao was desperately stirring his brains to think about ways, the soldiers suddenly cheered: "reinforcements!" Our reinforcements are coming! "

    Hearing this, Liu Sihao excitedly looked around and said that if reinforcements came, he would certainly be able to defeat these enemies, and he would have done meritorious service, so he would not have to die, escape in battle, and do not have to think about how to shirk the responsibility of defeat.

    But at this sight, Liu Sihao was immediately dumbfounded, because the reinforcements were a red figure bouncing on the ruins and running towards here quickly.

    Liu Sihao was in a daze, not because these reinforcements were bouncing like rabbits, nor because there were only a few thousand reinforcements, but because Liu Sihao knew that these reinforcements were mecha troops led by Tang long himself.

    "Damn it! Unexpectedly, Tang long personally led the troops? Damn it, I asked him to save me! "

    Although Liu Sihao thought so, he immediately ran out of the temporary bunker and put on an air of desperate resistance, loudly encouraging the commanding troops of the soldiers to resist.

    He does not want to be seen by Tang long flinching behind the soldiers. He is not afraid of Tang long's punishment, but that he will lose the opportunity for promotion. After all, Tang long is now his immediate boss.

    When the federal soldiers saw clearly that these supporting red figures were all mecha soldiers, they had long known that Tang long had led soldiers to the front, and immediately cheered: "Marshal Tang long has come to support us!" Long live Marshal Tang long! "

    These red mecha fighters had a large-caliber gun, and they fired several shots when they entered a certain range and jumped into mid-air. There was no beam of light coming out of the muzzle of the gun, only a few loud noises could be heard.

    With these loud noises, the countless enemy mechs besieging the Union forces suddenly flew upside down for a few meters like Tackle, and then blew them to pieces without warning. Their mechs that could block the laser beam were of no effect.

    In this instant, the tens of thousands of enemy mechs who surrounded the Union army blew up thousands of them.

    The Union soldiers who saw this immediately launched a counter-offensive with great morale, while Liu Sihao stretched out his tongue and could not pull back.

    Although he knew for a long time that Tang long must have something to rely on since he dared to bring troops to the front, he thought that Tang long relied on a robot force that also did not know why he was afraid, but he did not expect that Tang long relied on such a powerful individual weapon.

    This thing is so powerful that it can't even block a blow from the machine armor that can reflect the laser beam.

    Why didn't you know that Tang long had such a powerful individual weapon? It must have been equipped recently, isn't it? Otherwise, I should have used this weapon in the last fight.

    If you had this kind of weapon, would your cronies still have to die so much?

    Alas, it seems that my status is so low that I don't even know the equipment of Datang. It seems that I have to wait for my promotion to a certain degree before I can really understand the real situation of Datang.

    The delusional Liu Sihao was soon awakened by a loud noise. When he turned his head, he found that a metal spider was so blown up that there were only a few metal limbs left.

    Liu Sihao could not help but marvel that that kind of weapon was so powerful that he could directly destroy metal spiders.

    Although the number of these thousands of red mecha soldiers is very small compared with the enemy, they almost kill one enemy with one shot because of the strength of their weapons. With the help of tens of thousands of Union troops, most of the besieged enemies were soon wiped out.

    The enemy, who would not have fled, once again played the habit of not long ago, and immediately scattered and fled.

    The Union soldiers, who had long been angry, ran after these enemies with a roar without waiting for the order of the officer.

    And the thousands of red mecha soldiers, in addition to leaving nearly a thousand personnel, the others continued to bounce, running to other places.

    Liu Sihao saw a red mecha soldier, surrounded by several red mecha soldiers, coming here. He hurriedly tidied up his clothes and greeted him with a smile.

    Although I don't know if this person is Tang long, it can be concluded that the status of such a guy in Datang is definitely higher than himself, even the robot is higher than himself.

    At the thought of this, Liu Sihao could not help but feel a burst of scolding in his heart. It is really inexplicable that he is a tool, but his status is higher than his own human beings.

    The mecha soldier took off his skull-shaped helmet and revealed a handsome face. He saluted Liu Sihao and said, "second Lieutenant A6 has been ordered by Yuan Shuai to support his Excellency the General."

    As soon as Liu Sihao heard the name A6, he knew that A6 was a robot and a second lieutenant, one level lower than his own lieutenant.

    He could not help but immediately put away the fawning smile on his face, and after a random salute, he said coldly, "I order your department to act as the vanguard of the army and begin to wipe out the enemy!"

    Without waiting for A6 to react, he turned to his subordinates and ordered: "all gather, keep moving, and stay alert!" Then ignored the A6 and boarded the chariot directly.

    Liu Sihao believes that these robots only need to order them to do what to do, do not waste so much etiquette, anyway, these robots will not understand.

    A6 and others, who were ready to salute and retire, were obviously stupefied when they saw Liu Sihao's performance, but they retreated with a courtesy to Liu Sihao's back.

    When leading the troops to the front of the line, one of A6's subordinates said angrily: "Sir, that major general is so rude!" He doesn't look like a soldier at all. Anyway, we have come to rescue them, and they are so indifferent to us! "

    A6 did not speak, but he did not care whether Liu Sihao was cold to him or not. what he cared about was that Liu Sihao was not a soldier at all and could not even strictly abide by military etiquette.

    If there is anything wrong with these intelligent robots, it is the soldiers who cannot strictly abide by the various rules of the army.

    The reason for this is that these robots are made as soldiers, and when the military style is made, it is imprinted on the computer.

    Liu Sihao thought that these robots were just tools to follow orders, but he did not expect that these robots had feelings of joy and dislike.

    He also has no idea what happens to these robots who don't like them when they become their own officers.

    In Liu Sihao's mind, this is impossible, because in his view, robot officers are at most the officers of robots. If these human beings are under the command of robots, wouldn't the world be out of order?

    After assigning the mecha unit to the suppression unit, Tang long inspected the front line and saw that the war situation began to improve, so he returned to the military headquarters. After all, as the supreme commander, it is not a good thing to stay at the front all the time.

    Tang long came to his heavily guarded office with Fengshuang and Fengbing.

    As soon as the door opened, the little black cat ran to Tang long's shoulder with a meow, patted Tang long's face with his paw and said, "Brother, why are we so well-behaved and imprisoned here?" Not only can't go out, but I can't surf the Internet. I want you to make up for my loss! "

    Xing Zero still stood still looking at Tang long with a smile. Tang Xing had already grabbed Tang long by the ear and said viciously, "give us an explanation, or even if the eldest sister and the little black cat forgive you, I will not forgive you!"

    "Oh, it hurts, sister, please let go." Tang long grinned his teeth and shouted, of course, he immediately explained why he did so.

    Star Zero gently patted Tang Xing on the arm and said, "I said Tang long did this for a reason. Well, let go of Tang long. He also cares about us. That's why he did it."

    After getting along with Tang Xing for such a long time, her previous restraint has disappeared a lot, and she is more adapted to her eldest sister status.

    When Tang Xing heard Tang long say that it was because he didn't want these people to be in danger, his heart softened, but Xing Zero's love for Tang long let her pinch Tang long's ear before letting go.

    After everyone sat down, Tang Xing immediately said: "you are in a hurry to hide us, is the head of the pirate galaxy so fierce?" Can't even our three most intelligent people beat them? "

    The little black cat immediately shouted, "right, brother, you look down on us. How do you know we can't beat them if we haven't fought?"

    Tang long gave the little black cat a hard knock on the head, and then said solemnly, "although I don't know if you can beat them, I can't let you take the risk." And according to my estimate, you should not be able to beat them. "

    Tang Xing and others showed surprised expressions, they wondered how Tang long dare to be so sure, has he seen each other's ability? Tang Xing, who is quick-mouthed, immediately expressed this doubt.

    Tang long shook his head: "I have not seen their ability, but think about it, the other side is to devour intelligence to increase their ability, this swallowing ability is their means of attack, but I do not know what means of attack you have."

    "according to the law of the jungle, you are defenseless food, while they are absolutely strong predators with sharp claws."

    The little black cat immediately shouted, "who says we have no means of attack!" We can destroy computers, we can. "

    Speaking of which, the little black cat could not go on, because he found that he did not seem to have any other skills, let alone means of attack, except that he could control the computer.

    The other party can devour intelligence, and they have discovered themselves. I'm afraid that even if they control the computers around them, they won't be able to save themselves. Who knows what their swallowing is like? Maybe as long as you see yourself, you can swallow yourself up.

    "what are we going to do? Just hide here and spend the day? " Tang Xing said impatiently that she, who has no natural enemies all the year round, has now encountered natural enemies, and her mood will not be comfortable.

    Tang long said: "I think you should stay here until the end of the war, during this period of time do not directly enter the network, who knows if they can detect you through the Internet." When the war is over, you will go back to Datang immediately. I will wipe them out as soon as possible and completely relieve the crisis. "

    Although very reluctant to be trapped here, but Tang Xing they all know Tang long's concern for themselves, they do not want to be swallowed up, this fancy world has not played enough.

    Tang Xing said helplessly: "all right, just do what you say, but you have to find something for me to do, or I will be bored to death."

    This remark won the approval of the little black cat, and even Xing Zero nodded.

    Tang long said with a smile: "this is no problem. I want the eldest sister to help me develop a giant robot. This kind of weapon is very powerful. One can kill dozens of beluga warships in close combat." With that, he motioned to Fengbing to play out the recorded images of the two giant robots fighting in space.

    Tang Xing watched with great interest. After seeing the performance of the giant robot, Tang Xing nodded and said, "this is not just a simple way to expand the shape of a robot. Many things are very different from making ordinary robots." can you get a robot like this for me to study? "

    "there should be no problem with this. Although the two robots do not know where they are hiding in that area, as long as they dare to show up, I will certainly bring them here, but I am not sure whether they are complete or not." Tang long nodded and said.

    Although he knew that the robot was powerful, he also knew that there were only two planes, which could not resist the Union attack, so Tang long dared to guarantee it.

    "it doesn't matter if it's incomplete, as long as there are some parts. By the way, the stealth paint has been developed. I sent the information back to Datang. I believe Datang is now working hard to produce it. " Tang Xing said.

    "Oh, so soon? Thank you, Sister! " Tang long said happily that if all of Datang's warships could not be detected by radar, it would play an extremely important role in the strategy to be carried out in Datang in the near future.

    For some reason, Xing Zero suddenly chimed in and said, "I have almost developed a new radar system that can detect this stealth paint. I believe it will not be long before we can equip the troops, and then we will not be able to find those enemies."

    "that's great, sister. Thank you!" Tang long can be said to be ecstatic now. With this new type of radar, can guys from the pirate galaxy still sneak attack on themselves? At that time, there is no need to use the naked eye to find the enemy as it is now.

    When Tang Xing saw Xing Zero's smile emanating from his heart because he was thanked by Tang long, he could not help but feel a slight sour taste in his heart.

    Of course she knew what was going on, and although she felt a little uncomfortable, she was still very happy, because Xing Zero would finally fight for the wind and drink jealousy.

    And when the little black cat saw that the two eldest sisters had done meritorious service, she could not help shouting, "Brother, I have also invented something. I have created a kind of individual weapon that is even more powerful than the modified thundergun used by the Mechs. With one shot, it can be said to be the most powerful individual weapon of a beluga battleship!" I also sent the information back to Datang, and I believe it will not be long before the troops can be equipped. "

    As soon as Tang long heard this, he immediately picked up the little black cat, rubbed its head and said happily, "Little black cat, the modified lightning gun used now can destroy a mecha soldier with one shot, but you have invented a more powerful weapon?" You're so good. What kind of reward do you want? "

    The little black cat immediately said, "I want to taste all the delicacies of the Mermaid Restaurant!"

    Tang long quickly nodded and smiled and said, "well, after a while, we will occupy my hometown, so that you can eat the cuisine of the Mermaid Restaurant every day."

    The little black cat shouted happily, "you said, we retracted!" With that, he stretched out his paw to Tang long.

    Tang Xing, who was dissatisfied with the little black cat competing with him for the limelight, grabbed the little black cat by the ear and said, "are you ashamed?" A weapon directly from the database, say you invented it? Beware of those weapons inventors suing you for infringement! "

    The little black cat quickly defended: "these data are moldy in the database. I help them take them out and produce them. It's too late for them to thank me. How dare they sue me?"

    Of course, Tang long knows where the black cat's database is and which country the weapons information belongs to.

    But when Tang long heard what the little black cat said, he asked curiously, "Little black cat, do you mean that this kind of weapon has only data and has not been produced yet?" This weapon is so advanced, why not produce it? "

    The little black cat nodded: "No way, who called Wulaiguo strong? their current weapon name is Neng, which is higher than that of the previous generation or two in other countries, and upgrading requires a lot of money, so there is no production of new equipment."

    "coupled with their strong scientific research strength, countless inventions of new weapons emerge one after another, and most of the newly invented new weapons are only preserved as technological reserves rather than produced, and only when the weapons of other countries can catch up, will the new weapons be replaced.

    "the most important reason is that Wulai's annual income from arms sales accounts for 30% of the country's total annual income, and it is impossible for them to produce new weapons until they have sold enough old weapons."

    When Tang long heard this, he was silent for a while. From the point of view of individual weapons, Wulaiguo must also have new technical materials for various other weapons and equipment.

    Alas, I thought my weapon surname could be superb, but I didn't expect that compared with Wulai, I didn't even count as a change. The new weapon I think is very likely to be a backward weapon in other people's stock of technical data.

    Alas, the first big country is the first big country.

    Although Tang long felt very depressed, in order to know the gap between him and the first big country, he asked the little black cat, "our weapon name of Datang is Neng, how many generations is Chaowulai?"

    After thinking about it for a moment, the little black cat said, "if the surname of weapons and equipment is Neng, we are about two generations higher than Wulai." If we take into account the stealth warships, new radars, and new individual weapons and mobile fortresses that we have not yet equipped, we will be five generations behind Wulai. "

    "five generations!" Tang long's eyes lit up, and he thought he was bad, but he didn't expect to be so much stronger than Wulai.

    However, the little black cat quickly hit Tang long, because the little black cat went on to say, "however, if Wulai feels the danger, they can produce the latest weapons and equipment and equip all the troops within a year." compared with them, Datang is short of seven or eight generations. "

    Tang long froze when he heard this, but he didn't give up and asked, "Don't we have an advantage?"

    The little black cat said, "Yes, for example, most of the weapons and equipment in the 'War' game cannot be made by Wulai, and there are fortress engines that we can jump in space, and Wulaiguo has no way to make them.

    "although they already have engines that can propel the fortress to move, it would be impossible for them to build a fortress engine that can jump in space without getting our data.

    "to tell you secretly, Wulaiguo is making every effort to study the equipment in the" War "game, but nothing has been achieved except for the purchase of beluga warships and the development of beluga warships."

    For this, when Tang long sold the beluga warship, everyone already realized that other countries must be able to produce beluga warships, so there was no surprise to hear the news.

    The weapons and equipment in the "war" game? Tang long could not help a wry smile, although because he owned Tang Xing and others, he knew how to make these weapons. However, our own industry has not yet reached the conditions for manufacturing, and many powerful weapons and equipment cannot be made at all, so they can only be placed in computers to look good.

    The manufacturing conditions here are metaphorically speaking, that is to say, you are an outstanding swordsmith, and now you want to make a famous knife, but it is a pity that you have all the metal materials and dies, but there is no furnace for smelting metal and tools for tempering. In such a situation, even the most powerful swordsmen can't make a knife, right?

    What Tang long lacks now is tools.

    When Tang long smiled helplessly, Xing Zero, who had been listening, asked aloud, "Little Black Cat, what you said just now is the surname of weapons and equipment, which we know, but I still want to know how far is the gap between Datang and Wulaiguo in terms of comprehensive capabilities?"

    Hearing this, Tang long's ears pricked up immediately.

    After thinking about it for a moment, the little black cat said, "if the national comprehensive capacity is divided into SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and the K level is the state of the primitive planet, then Wulaiguo is at the SS level, and Datang is at the E level."

    "so much worse?" Tang long opened his mouth in surprise and shouted.

    The little black cat curled her mouth and said, "Oh, come on, big brother, if you think about it, there are more than 300,000 administrative planets in Wulai, and there are thirteen satellite countries around, each with tens of thousands of administrative planets."

    "Wulai alone has more than 400 million warships. Together with the warships of satellite countries, the troops that Wulai can command have nearly 600 million warships.

    "in addition to Wulai's huge industrial system, powerful scientific and technological force and rich technological reserves, coupled with the economic power sweeping the whole universe, it is very remarkable that Datang can occupy the E level compared with Wulai. You know, in so many countries in the universe, a large number of countries can only stay at the G level."

    Tang long was stupefied again and again, and it took a while to wake up. Yes, compared with the first power, it is very remarkable that he can rank in this position. After all, he has only one or two thousand executive stars now.

    Tang Xing, who had been silent, suddenly sighed and said, "Alas, we went in the wrong direction in the military industry at the beginning. We were always thinking about how to make the equipment in the 'war' game." Now we can see that many things cannot be made in our current industrial system, and a lot of time is wasted.

    "it seems that we should make reference to the current industrial system and technology of various countries and upgrade our own military industry step by step."

    As she said that, she reached out and grabbed the little black cat by the ear and said, "Little black cat, since you have so many materials in your stomach, and you are part of Datang, you should spit out all the useful things, don't you think?"

    The little black cat grinned its teeth and shouted, "of course, if I don't help the eldest brother, who will help the eldest brother?" I'm going to spit out all the information. Let me go, sister. It hurts. "

    Tang long looked at the little black cat gratefully. Although he knew the identity of the little black cat for a long time, he also knew the weight of the information in the little black cat's belly. But he considered that letting the little black cat betray the interests of his motherland would make it difficult for the little black cat, so he never made a request to the little black cat about the secrets of Wulai.

    Now the little black cat is willing to hand over the information. Tang long knows that his strength will be asked to climb another tall building. Tang long will not say thank you, because he knows that the little black cat doesn't like to hear, so let's get some delicious food to reward the little black cat.

    Unlike the relaxed atmosphere of Tang long's office, there was still a lot of war in the encirclement, but the Union army was already in the grip of victory.

    As for No.1 suspended in the air, seeing that he had fewer and fewer subordinates below, he said to No.2, "it's time for these two guys to go down and perform."

    The second nodded and said, "I can't wait for a long time."

    As his words fell, the two robots opened a hatch in their belly, and No.2 and No.1 came out respectively and suspended in the air.

    After flying through the air on the 2nd, he said to No.1, "I said, second Brother, the body that the eldest brother has transformed for us is really good enough to float in the air. I just don't know if I can fly directly out of the atmosphere."

    While letting two giant robots start to land on the ground, No.1 said, "No, our bodies don't have enough jet force to get out of the atmosphere."

    "well, how are we going to get off this planet then?" The second asked anxiously, he doesn't want to stay on this planet for a long time. After all, he can't do whatever he wants here.

    No.1 smiled and said, "if we devour those two intelligences, we can recreate our real bodies. Are we afraid we won't be able to leave then?"

    The second nodded fiercely when he heard this. Yes, if he swallowed up those two intelligences, he would at least be able to restore his previous body. If he had his own original body, would he still care about the gravity of the planet and so on?

    However, when he remembered something, he asked again, "second Brother, what if you are escaped by those two intelligences?" How are we going to get out of here? "

    No.1 patted himself on the forehead and said, "faint, then we won't grab some money casually and rent a spaceship to go back!" Don't think about this. Without our direct control, those two robots won't last long. I don't want them to find out. Let's go and land somewhere else. " As he said that, he ignored No.2 and flew into the distance.

    The second was stupefied for a moment, then hurriedly followed and left.

    When the two giant robots landed on the ground, they startled the Union troops around them at first. in the first time of conditioned reflex, they did not attack, but carried out defensive evasion. after all, they have seen the ability of these two giant robots a long time ago.

    The giant robot did not let them down, and the attack of the giant pistol almost destroyed the position near them.

    The armored troops who rushed to the death fired useless gunfire. Instead, the two giant robots pulled out giant laser knives and sliced them like tofu.

    The panicked Union army immediately called in the heavy artillery unit and shelled the two giant robots. The Union army, who had seen the two robots move quickly and surnamed Neng, was not hopeful about the heavy artillery unit.

    But what is incredible is that the two robots are foolish enough to stay in place and bear the bombardment of heavy artillery, only to fight back with the giant pistol without dodging at all.

    Although the firepower of heavy artillery is not as powerful as that of warship auxiliary guns, it is the most powerful of all the ground forces except anti-aircraft guns. even the thickest file warship of all warships today will be killed if it is parked on the ground and allowed to be bombed by heavy artillery.

    So, these two are just ordinary thick-skinned robots, what will happen after this attack, and the result can be imagined.
