” How should I spend the 1,000 Technology Points?!”
Before meeting Meng Xian, Zhao Yu had been staying at the base, thinking about how to utilize these technological points.
He didn’t plan to upgrade the architectural category for the time being. Even if impressive technologies emerged, they were useless unless he could develop nuclear weapons.
The base was far from being able to manufacture nuclear weapons.
Moreover, with foreign enemies at hand and the uncertainty of how many troops the Han family would send next.
Zhao Yu decided to invest these 1,000 technological points into military training.
His only dilemma was whether to use them for mobilizing troops or special forces, with the latter costing at least five times more.
Considering future wars would be commanded by his commander team, Zhao Yu didn’t trouble himself further and directly trained a centurion commander.
After some inquiries, he made up his mind.
He invested 800 technological points to train 800 soldiers, and the remaining 200 points were all allocated to the special forces.
As described by the centurion, in large-scale battles, excluding the use of air domain weapons like fighter jets, missiles, and helicopters.
The number of soldiers becomes crucial, and the role of special forces lies in high-difficulty tasks like decapitation strikes and stealth missions.
In conventional warfare, it’s about outnumbering the enemy, so more troops are naturally better.
1,000 technological points, if all converted to special forces, would only add 200 soldiers.
Although these soldiers are formidable, their effectiveness is limited in large-scale battles. On the merciless battlefield, even special forces can’t dodge bullets.
In such a meat grinder, it’s all about overwhelming firepower.
“Once the training is over, there’ll be almost 2,000 troops…”
The training camp operated as before: one person every five minutes, with a maximum of 240 people trained per day.
It would take at least a week to deploy all these technological points into the training camp.
After allocated the technological points for troop, Zhao Yu also replenished some weapons and ammunition, and sent a special forces squad to carry out his daily tasks.
Currently, the daily task rewards hovered around 50 technological points, indicating a certain level of difficulty.
After some probing and exploration, generally two special forces squads could perfectly complete the tasks.
With a centurion commander in charge, Zhao Yu was at ease, just waiting at the base to collect technological points daily.
Besides, he didn’t let his guard down regarding Black Rock City, sending out the reconnaissance squad that had just returned on another mission.
Some were stationed in Black Rock City, while others were deployed along the essential routes between the two locations to prevent any surprises.
Zhao Yu didn’t oversee these personally. With the centurion commander in charge, all military affairs were proceeding in an orderly fashion.
“They really lost…”
In the abandoned town, an army of nearly a thousand people was stationed.
The Han family patriarch looked at the scorched earth,.
This was his first time leaving Black Rock City in many years, and he hadn’t expected it to be due to the Han family’s defeat.
“Can you deduce how this battle was fought?!”
He asked a middle-aged man beside him, a former battalion commander hired by the Han family with extensive war experience.
This former battalion commander circled the abandoned town and its surroundings a few times and basically figured out what had happened.
“The enemy had crept up to within five hundred meters outside the town and launched a surprise attack without the Han army noticing…”
“This indicates that the enemy has more advanced unmanned reconnaissance drones than the Han army…”
“The chaotic division of the battlefield within the town, with the Han army fighting independently, suggests that the radio signals were disrupted and blocked at the moment the battle started…”
“The high-ranking leaders who led the army were killed in the fire at the beginning of the battle, leaving the Han army out of order…”
“There are no signs of bombardment on the enemy’s positions, indicating that our artillery was crippled at the onset of the battle…”
“In this building, there are several disheveled female corpses, which appear to be where young master slept…”
Hearing this, the Han patriarch asked, “Were these women violated and killed by the enemy?!”
“No!”
“They were killed by their own people. Their clothes were disheveled, but their nails were clean, indicating they were not violated in the chaos…”
“Judging by these bullet holes, they were clearly killed by someone close and trusted…”
“It seems young master wanted to escape but feared his women would be taken, so he had them killed in advance…”
“So it is.” the Han patriarch was quite disappointed.
He had hoped to find a weakness in the enemy but realized it was his son’s doing.
“This army is quite terrifying!”
The former battalion commander frowned deeply, increasingly alarmed as he deduced the events.
“They had at least a hundred die-hard soldiers who penetrated the position without retreating, fighting to the death, even when surrounded by ten times their number…”
He pointed outside the building, “These places were all attacked…”
“Initially, the enemy likely sent some special forces here, creating an illusion of total defeat for the people inside the building…”
“Therefore, the people inside hastily retreated, dragging the soldiers on the town’s from west side into chaos and commanded them to retreat…”
“By the time the eastern side realized what was happening, these people still hadn’t retreated. With just these three positions, they held back thousands of troops….”
