Chapter 53 Who says I'm just a theorist?

"You're really brave to think you can go it alone. This isn't a virtual game; there's real bloodshed and sacrifice involved. Are you sure?"

The captain disliked Lin Xiaohe's arrogance; every arrogant soldier would be taught a lesson on the battlefield.

Lin Xiaohe: "Sir, if you are willing to stamp my performance evaluation form directly, I can withdraw from this operation."

"Ha, dream on. I'd rather you die on the battlefield than give you a fake account."

The captain turned around and led everyone into the conference room.

In the center of the conference room was a virtual sand table. The captain fiddled with it a few times, and a dynamic diagram of the attack and defense between the two sides on Gonggong Star appeared.

He glanced at the nervous students of the Fifth Star Ring and sneered, "Don't worry, the tasks I've assigned you are all small ones. Do you really expect you to defeat the main force of the Iron Meteorite Battalion?"

Lin Xiaohe's mind was focused on the animated GIFs.

The blue team represents the insurgents, while the red team represents the federal army.

As seen in the animation, the red team is advancing across the entire front, while the blue team is retreating steadily.

In space, the Federation forces have gained control of the space jump tunnel.

The carrier battle group, composed of space fleets, and the armored aircraft group of land-based air force opened an air corridor more than 200 kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers deep within the atmosphere to the west.

On the ground, the Federation Army Group decisively defeated the insurgent garrison responsible for defending the passage.

The Red Army has deployed a large force to besiege the capital of Gonggong Star. Judging from the map, it's only a matter of time before the Red Army captures the capital.

Everything was thriving, and it seemed that the uprising would be suppressed soon.

Lin Xiaohe silently asked herself, "Xinbao, can we connect to the intranet?"

Xinbao tried it and found that the Fifth Star Ring Military Region attaches great importance to information security, and all of them are Class A firewalls.

I'm sorry, Xiaohe.

Lin Xiaohe sighed inwardly, thinking that she would have to upgrade Xinbao when the time was right.

"Lieutenant Lin, did you notice anything?" The captain, displeased with Lin Xiaohe's distraction, asked her by name.

Lin Xiaohe: "Sir, I do have a question."

The captain raised an eyebrow: "Speak."

"Did the rebels suffer heavy losses?"

The captain was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Lin Xiaohe to ask this question.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "According to our intelligence, it's not very big."

Lin Xiaohe tentatively asked, "Don't you think the Federation's progress is going too smoothly?"

Weasley chuckled, slightly raising his chin, his eyes full of contempt: "People of humble origins can never imagine how powerful the Federation is. The Federation army on Miluo Star cannot represent the Federation's military capabilities."

Lin Xiaohe was speechless; she truly did not know how strong the military power of the Fifth Star Ring was.

The captain gave Lin Xiaohe a rare kind look.

He admired soldiers who used their brains, and even if her guess was wrong, she deserved encouragement.

"Lieutenant Lin, tell us your thoughts."

Lin Xiaohe organized her thoughts: "If I were the rebels, and our overall strength was inferior to that of the Federation, then I would choose to lure the enemy deep into our territory. I would pretend that I couldn't defeat you, and then choose a location to ambush you."

A low chuckle rippled through the conference room, and even the soldiers who followed them in laughed.

The captain suppressed a laugh and nodded to Lin Xiaohe: "Where do you think is the best place for an ambush?"

Lin Xiaohe had never been to Gonggong Star, so how would she know?

She could only rely on the books she had read to conclude: "Generally, they would choose canyons or deep mountains." The laughter in the meeting room grew even louder.

The captain patted Lin Xiaohe on the shoulder and encouraged her, "You're a good prospect. Try your best to get into military academy and learn more about how to fight."

After saying that, he skipped the topic and went straight to assigning tasks to each team.

These candidates will infiltrate the rebel army's rear and harass them.

Before the meeting ended, the captain repeatedly emphasized: "Once you arrive at the location, you must obey the orders of the special forces. If you encounter danger, retreat decisively."

"Yes, sir."

Lin Xiaohe dawdled until most of the people in the conference room had left before she pestered the captain: "Sir, are you really not going to consider the ambush?"

The captain sighed, "Lieutenant Lin, persistence is a admirable quality, but it can easily turn into stubbornness. Gonggong Star only has one canyon, and at the top of that canyon is our military airfield, which is under our control. Alright, go find your comrades."

Lin Xiaohe thought to herself, "So what if you have an airport? What if someone blows it up?"

She was surrounded by a group of people as soon as she stepped out of the conference room.

"Hey, isn't this our Lieutenant Lin? Did you apply to the Central Military Academy or the Command Academy?"

"Luring the enemy deep into our territory? A canyon? Haha, that's hilarious! You don't even know the terrain of Gonggong Star, how dare you spout such nonsense?"

"Some people just love to show off. But they don't have any real ability, so in the end they can only embarrass themselves."

Through the crowd, Lin Xiaohe and Weasley locked eyes.

"Hey, you surnamed Wei. Don't you have a mouth? Why do you always have to have someone else say everything for you?"

Lin Xiaohe tilted her head, then suddenly realized, "I understand. You must be afraid of me and jealous of me. That's why you don't dare to provoke me and can only use someone else's words."

The scene fell silent. The man who had spoken rudely turned around in alarm and looked at Weasley.

Weasley's eyes flashed with a chilling light, his clear voice laced with suppressed anger: "Jealous of you? Jealous of what? Jealous of your stupidity and overestimation of your abilities?"

Lin Xiaohe: "I have the rank of second lieutenant."

Weasley chuckled dismissively, "You think your ridiculous pink beetle is enough?"

Lin Xiaohe: "I have the rank of second lieutenant."

Weasley's veins bulged: "What's so great about that?! I can have a rank if I want to."

Lin Xiaohe emphasized, "I have the rank of second lieutenant, which I earned myself; I didn't use any back channels."

Break the defense!
Weasley strode up to Lin Xiaohe, grabbed her by the collar, and stared down at her fiercely: "I hope that when you get to Gonggong Star, your mecha will be as tough as your mouth!"

Lin Xiaohe lightly pulled Weasley's hand away, pressed her fingers against Weasley's chest, and pushed him an arm's length away from her, saying coldly.

“Cadet Weasley, standing before you is a second lieutenant from the 5th Special Reconnaissance Battalion. Remember, next time you speak to me, say ‘Reporting, sir.’”

Weasley's gaze was murderous.

Lin Xiaohe said coldly, "Remember that? Military academy student Wesley."

Weasley's jaw was clenched so hard it was cracking, and sparks practically flew from his eyes.

He managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Understood, sir."

Hmph, it feels so good to use power to oppress others.

Lin Xiaohe walked away triumphantly.

She doesn't care what others say about her; they'll just say she's all talk and no action, overestimating herself and being arrogant.

These people know nothing! They have no idea how amazing one of the crystallizations of five thousand years of civilization, the Thirty-Six Stratagems, is!
