Chapter 363 Cannon Fodder Battleship
With the help of artificial intelligence computers and robot instructors, Tang Long joined the Silver Eagle Empire's training troops and experienced a brutal life-and-death battle.

When he graduated successfully, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant. After all, he was the only and best student in the entire training camp.

Then, an era of great chaos came and war broke out.

Tang Long was originally assigned to garrison on the Haike planet in the Gulongyun Galaxy, but he received an emergency notice that all officers assigned to the Gulongyun Galaxy were to cancel their leave and report to the garrison immediately.

Tang Long had no choice but to cancel his trip home to visit his relatives.

After joining the army, he was first assigned to the 45th Company, and then was called up for special training. After passing layers of selection, he became a battleship commander.

While showing Tang Long's growth and progress, the film also devotes a certain amount of space to showing the reasons and preparations for the outbreak of war between the Wanluo Federation and the Silver Eagle Empire.

Judging from the content shown in the film, the war that Tang Long is about to participate in seems to hide a huge conspiracy, which makes the audience worry about Tang Long's fate.

Tang Long became the commander of a "self-propelled naval gun", which was one hundred meters long, forty meters wide and thirty meters high.

Compared to ordinary humans, it is naturally quite large.

But in the vast universe, compared with those huge space battleships, they are so small that they are not worth mentioning.

But since this thing has a powerful nuclear cannon that can destroy a Class A battleship 100 kilometers away with one shot, it is not completely useless.

Tang Long selected his men and entered the self-propelled gunboat with him to participate in the military's test order.

The place we are going to is the famous "Death Zone".

On the screen, tens of thousands of "self-propelled gunboats" were deployed in full force and sailing in space. The scene was still very spectacular.

Inside the warship, Tang Long suddenly jumped up as if he remembered something, and shouted in panic: "Protection shield activated! Radar scanning at full power! The warship is sinking rapidly!"

Everyone else in the battleship was stunned, not knowing what was wrong with their commander.

The audience was also curious. Some speculated that Tang Long had participated in the Silver Eagle Empire's exercise test, so he was very alert.

Tang Long's subordinates carried out the order reflexively, the warship sank rapidly, and the protective shield was activated.

The people on the surrounding warships were curious about the reaction of Tang Long's warship. As for the warship under Tang Long, they dodged in a hurry, of course, cursing while dodging.

After Tang Long shouted out the above orders, he immediately shouted to the signalman: "Connect all channels and tell them that the enemy is attacking!"

The signalman pressed a few buttons, but when he heard the last sentence, he stopped and looked up at Tang Long in surprise.

That expression seemed to be saying, where did the enemy come from?
The other soldiers asked, are there any enemies?

The soldier in charge of the radar said that there were no enemies within a hundred-day walking distance.

The signalman was dissatisfied and said to the commander, "Sir, if you lie about military intelligence you will be brought to a military court."

Tang Long ignored all that and just asked the signalman to notify other warships to turn on the protective shield.

Then the radar soldier screamed with a pale face, "Cold energy laser light!"

In the depths of the dark universe, cold energy laser light attacked from afar and hit the Wanluo Federation's self-propelled gunboat fleet.

The defenseless "self-propelled gunboats" fell and disintegrated like flies that were hit.

In just a blink of an eye, only a thousand of the ten thousand self-propelled gunboats were left. Because there were many close-up shots of the self-propelled gunboats being destroyed, and there were long shots and close-ups, the audience was shocked.

It’s really a grand scene. It seems that the money spent on the movie "Legend of the Little Soldiers" was well spent.

In the film, Tang Long hurriedly contacted the artificial intelligence computer and asked why it suddenly used "cold energy laser light", why they were ambushed, and whether someone betrayed them?

The computer explained that the cold energy laser light was used to clear the wreckage of the starship, and the Silver Eagle Empire probably wanted to clear a channel here and quickly attack the Federation.

The soldiers on the battleship calculated that such cold energy laser light should be emitted by ten thousand cruisers or three thousand battleships together.

Tang Long hurriedly reported the situation to Commander Linasha.

Linasha asked them to evacuate quickly, but Admiral Gu Ao, commander of the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Army, suddenly came in. He promoted the rank of all the soldiers present by one level and ordered the remaining self-propelled gunboats to intercept the enemy for one hour to buy time for their side.

"Fuck! They are just asking for their own death!"

"What a grandson!"

Many viewers were angry because they could not possibly be opponents!
Linasha also explained to Admiral Gu Ao that a thousand untrained self-propelled gunboats would not be able to complete such a mission and would only be sacrificed in vain.

The admiral just said coldly, "Lieutenant Colonel, your training mission is completed, and now the command belongs to me!"

Tang Long found that the situation was worse than he had imagined. The jump system was destroyed and they could not escape through "space jump", even though they were not afraid of being court-martialed.

The energy converter is also broken, and the power of the protective shield can only be opened to 20%.

At the same time, the president of the Wanluo Federation was holding a military meeting, and he looked very unhappy.

Because the general election is about to begin, and the invasion of the Silver Eagle Empire is about to become a reality, such a stain will seriously affect his support rate.

The marshal explained the real battle plan to the president. The one thousand self-propelled gunboats were indeed cannon fodder, and were only used to confuse the enemy and make them think that they had reinforcements.

Because under normal circumstances, such a small and weak force would not be used to stop a large army.

The scene switches to the command cabin of the Silver Eagle Empire's battleship. Major General Darrens, played by Hiddleston, and Major General Kester, played by a black actor, are talking and drinking through virtual video and discussing the military operation.

The two men had no idea what the Duke and the Earl were planning. First, they threw the two men into the border galaxy for several months without any orders, and then suddenly gave them precise coordinates and time, ordering them to carry out saturation attacks with cold energy lasers.

Afterwards, news of the battle situation came from the front, and the two generals finally understood what was going on.

Major General Kester was a little disappointed. He thought there would be a fierce battle, but what awaited them was just a bunch of cannon fodder.

On Tang Long's side, the remaining thousand or so self-propelled gunboats had gathered together, and the officers were arguing in the communications in order to fight for command.

Tang Long was a little silent here. Naturally, he wanted to seek help from the powerful artificial intelligence program.

Of course, with the help of this super plug-in, Tang Long successfully gained command.

Because the densely packed portraits on the communication screens of other warships had disappeared, replaced by Tang Long's huge image, leaving no way for others to compete!
The other warship commanders had no choice but to accept Tang Long as the boss.

And according to Tang Long's orders, calculate the jump point location of the enemy warship.
