Chapter 459: Dragon God Armor
According to the rules of the empire, high-ranking positions were usually held by people with higher strategic abilities.
A warrior-type character like her would never be able to get a position.
Otherwise, why didn’t she use any strength when the East God split up?
It was because her strategic ability was too low that most people didn’t consider her for anything this time.
“Let me do it. I can be the personal guard captain. I can protect your safety.”
In order to not make it too difficult for Lei Luo, Allie took the initiative to bring it up.
She did not expect Lei Luo to actually shake his head and say decisively, “No, you are not suitable for this position.
The position of personal guard captain, other than being brave and good at fighting, also requires a meticulous mind. This is something that she could not do.
“Moreover, we only have so much capital now. We have no ability to form any personal guards at all.”
Hearing Lei Luo reject her request so straightforwardly, Allie pursed her lips helplessly, and her face flushed red.
“Moreover, with your talent, to let you be the captain of the personal guards, isn’t that a little overkill?”
Hearing this, Allie raised her head. She was confused. “Hmm? What else can I do?”
“Mecha Director,” Lei Luo said straightforwardly.
“Mecha Director?” Allie was even more confused. “I’ve never heard of such a position.”
“Yes, there has never been such a position before. This is the position I’ve set up recently.”
When Lei Luo said this, he glanced at everyone before continuing.
“Modern magic has already developed to a completely new stage, and the shape of the future war will also have tremendous changes. This change involves two aspects. First, technological means lead to changes in military tactics. For example, when I went to Ulysses last time, I felt that the Dragon God armor given to me by Prince Ulysses was a typical example. The Dragon God armor’s air-to-air combat ability was very strong, and its speed was also fast. The biggest problem was that its defense and survivability were too low. However, this could be made up for by its low cost and the fact that civilians could pilot it. I calculated that based on the normal production process, the time needed to produce one heavy battleship was enough to produce 100 Dragon God armors. And if one heavy battleship met with 100 Dragon God armor alone, then there was absolutely no chance of winning. But if it was 100,000 Dragon God armor against 1,000 heavy battleships, then the former wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage. And although the Dragon God armors can be piloted by civilians, an ordinary civilian will need at least three years of training before he can pilot it. Even people who can serve as low-level officers in the military will need at least a year to become proficient in piloting it. The Dragon God armors have been lost. It’s easy to rebuild them, but training will be a very troublesome thing. You have to know that the death rate of the Dragon God armor is very high. It’s not that easy to recruit soldiers.”
When he was in the Holy City of Beauty, Zacken had also been very infatuated with the Dragon God armor and had conducted in-depth research.
But later, after careful research, he came to the conclusion that in a large-scale battle, the disadvantage of the Dragon God armor was extremely obvious.
Lei Luo nodded and said, “That’s right.”
“I’ve also calculated that under normal circumstances, the critical point of comparison between the Dragon God armor and the heavy battleships is about 12,000 against 120. In other words, under the situation where the fleet commander was only of average standards, 12,000 Dragon God armor still maintained an advantage over 120 heavy battleships. What did this mean? This meant that as long as we kept the scale of the battle to the scale of 12,000 Dragon God armors against 120 heavy battleships, then we would be at an advantage. In the past, most of the wars depended on the outcome of one or two major battles. But now, with the Dragon God armors, we can at least have more means, right?”
Everyone present was silent as they carefully considered the meaning behind Lei Luo’s words.
“In addition, as for the problem of the high death rate of the soldiers that you mentioned, this is also what I’m worried about. If the death rate of the soldiers is too high, not only will it increase our training costs, it will also weaken the quality of our soldiers, and also reduce the willingness of high-level warriors to join the ranks of the soldiers. This is also why I want to set up a mecha director. I plan to change the structure and combat style of the Dragon God armor so that soldiers can fight in mecha. Once the situation is disadvantageous, under the authorization of the commander, the soldiers can set up the Dragon God armor to fight automatically and then fly the mecha to escape the battlefield. And once the Dragon God armor is hit, the soldiers can also abandon the mecha to save themselves. I’ve conducted a simulation. If they receive sufficient training, then the survival rate of soldiers of the same quality in the Dragon God armor will be slightly higher than that of the soldiers in the battleship.”
Speaking up to this point, Lei Luo turned his face to look at Allie.
“Assuming that you can impart the secrets of the East God to strengthen the human body, coupled with the mecha, then the survival rate of the soldiers will be even higher. Given enough time, after the baptism of countless battles, the quality of our soldiers will become higher. At that time, our Dragon God fleet will definitely be a formidable force. Our attacking spirit, our speed, our agility, and our fearlessness will cause the enemies to be startled awake in their dreams. And whether or not all of this can be realized will depend on the results of your training.”
Hearing this, Allie seemed to be very excited. She nodded her head heavily.
“I don’t dare to say anything else, but I’m still confident in training mecha warriors.”
Seeing Allie’s excited expression, Katz pressed her lips together and asked, “Other than the Dragon God armor, what’s the second benefit of training mecha warriors?”
Lei Luo glanced at Katz and said, “The Dragon God armor is just the beginning. I believe that in the future, there will be more and more types of warriors, and their levels will be higher and higher. Katz, don’t underestimate it.”
Katz scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “I was just thinking for a moment, and you actually saw it. I just haven’t seen the Dragon God armor with my own eyes. And I haven’t seen its combat effects, so I’m just a little empirical. Since you say so, then I understand what you mean. I’ll study it further.”
“Okay.” Lei Luo nodded.
