Munitions Empire

Chapter 1017: 939 good men must join the military

This is a sniper’s paradise, every ruin could potentially be their perfect hideout. Here, they can fire at will, and most of the time, they achieve astonishing combat results.

Just like now, that seasoned hunter from the Dahua Empire, who once competed against Cao Fei, is currently holding his sniper rifle, observing those goblins who are hiding.

Through his scope, the places where a few goblins are hiding are quite poor, but he also doesn’t have a good angle to easily hit these temporarily hidden “militia”.

Ever since that time he saw two moving bushes, this seasoned hunter every time he shoots to kill his target, would subconsciously tense up.

He fears that someone might be spying on his head from the darkness, he fears that somewhere in the distance, a person blending perfectly with the surroundings might be holding a sniper rifle, staring at his face.

This is a primal fear, the kind that’s instinctive. Because he has seen such enemies, he always imagines, that such enemies are competing with him.

But in reality, the snipers of the Great Tang Empire have been intensively training these days, enhancing their urban combat habits and experience.

The sniper school of the Great Tang Empire uses this method to reduce the casualty rates of their trainees in real combat, and it has been proven that this training effectively enhances the snipers’ survival rates.

Today, this seasoned hunter has already killed about 30 targets. The snipers of the Dahua Empire are not so fussy; they will not miss any low-value targets if there is an opportunity to shoot.

Thus, their combat results are also astonishing, many of the Dahua Empire’s snipers have a good record of killing more than ten people.

However, in the military sequence of the Great Tang Empire, their tasks are often carried out by the precise shooters within the squad or platoon.

In the tactical structure of the Great Tang Empire, snipers hold a higher status; they play a greater role in scouting and fire direction.

In Fengjiang, the use of practical snipers is basically similar to that in the Dahua Empire: scattering the snipers and then letting them hunt down the enemy soldiers like precise shooters.

The advisors of the Great Tang Empire don’t mind these, as long as the snipers in Fengjiang can help them hold the scene.

So the intense battle with the snipers of the Dahua Empire is actually carried out by the snipers from Fengjiang.

On the battlefield in Fengjiang, there is actually another interesting thing: many soldiers from the Great Tang Empire who come here to familiarize with real combat are remarkably good-looking men and women.

Many soldiers have noticed that some medical units and clerks directly under the advisory teams of the Great Tang Empire are very good-looking.

Their work attitude is serious, and many sweet-faced female nurses even help amputate limbs in the operating room.

There are even female copilots, who alongside pilots operate UH-1 helicopters or other helicopters, transporting materials over mountains to places like Shanping.

Some handsome male soldiers are even snipers, who really have to carry their weapons to the frontline to kill enemies and achieve combat results.

After chatting with them, it was discovered that they all belonged to entertainment companies… This was somewhat surprising.

Later everyone found out that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Empire had issued a new decree, ordering all those who wish to enter the entertainment industry as stars or actors to have military experience, and men were even required to have combat experience.

This is a mandatory regulation: men must serve in the military for five years, and women must serve in the military for at least three years, before they can enter the entertainment industry and access entertainment resources.

For those young people who are attracted by the glamorous entertainment industry, wanting to enter the field and make big money, this regulation is practically a death sentence.

You should know, in this era, serving in the military could really mean death! Just a few days ago, a helicopter really crashed while in transport, and the copilot inside was a sweet-looking young girl.

But reality is indeed cruel. Tang Mo believes that only those who have truly experienced and tasted life and death are qualified to enjoy the glamorous attention of the masses.

It is said that this decree will not be canceled. In the future, there might be a day without war, but anyone who wants to become a celebrity must guard the islands or borders for 3 to 5 years before they can obtain a professional qualification.

Of course, you can choose not to go, and then challenge the will of the Empire to see just how strong it is.

This is also Tang Mo’s preparation for the rainy day, as he is very reluctant to see capitalists create one low-quality success story after another in the form of so-called stars. He hopes that his country is as free of unearned success as possible.

Although it’s very difficult to completely prevent such cases, Tang Mo wants to give it a try. He does not want to see singers making money faster than missile engineers, nor does he want those rice research experts to have less recognition than some nonsensical fresh meat.

Well, Tang Mo feels that since he cannot stop these people from earning a lot of money, he at least wants to force them to do something to deserve their income.

For fairness, the first generation of movie stars and singers promoted by Great Tang Group have already donated two-thirds of their wealth.

This is also a mandatory regulation because these stars have never served in the military, and they are no longer able to go to the battlefield.

Therefore, they must donate their wealth, use their money to build elementary and middle schools, participate in charitable activities without compensation, and continue their well-paid jobs with dignity.

Cao Fei accompanied his injured observer to a hospital near Fengjiang to change the dressing on his arm. Here, he saw many severely injured patients.

These severely injured patients were all sent down from the front lines, mainly consisting of local human troops. Clearly, this wasn’t a hospital hosting a mixed group of Orcs, Goblins, and Dwarves but primarily served human casualties.

There were various types of white ambulances parked at the main entrance of the hospital. A few soldiers were also there, painting two military green trucks into white medical vehicles.

Due to its distance from the front, no shells had fallen here yet. The distant rumble of cannon fire could be heard, sounding like the devil’s whisper, never ceasing.

The hospital corridors were crowded with people, some were local civilians sick, and others were locals injured by shelling.

Occasionally, distressed cries could be heard. Cao Fei moved slowly forward through the crowded corridors, accompanying his partner to the casualty treatment area.

“The wound is healing nicely. You aren’t left-handed, right? That’s good. It probably won’t affect your fighting,” said a young nurse as she inspected the observer’s wound. She spoke gently, changed his dressing, and rewrapped it expertly.

The young girl was clearly a beauty in the making and highly skilled at her job—after all, she bandaged hundreds of people here every day.

Just as she was kindly instructing Cao Fei’s partner to take his antibiotics on time and care for his wound, sudden noises erupted from afar.

Several nurses and doctors rushed a stretcher through where Cao Fei stood, hurrying to a distant operating room.

Cao Fei saw the blood on the white sheets and also saw the young, handsome soldier lying on the stretcher.

“Damn! One of our guys!” The observer also noticed the military uniform on the injured person. Due to the urgency and danger, there was no time to take it off.

“Weren’t there no actions?” Watching the man being pushed into the operating room, the observer looked puzzledly at Cao Fei.

“Our Navy Marine Corps sniper teams didn’t have a mission… based on his outfit… he is probably a paratrooper or an Army sniper,” Cao Fei guessed, noticing the soldier who was blocked at the door, who seemed to be the observer of the critically injured young sniper.
