Chapter 512 Geniuses are always different from ordinary people
Johnny Leting’s personal skills in HCP driving and combat are undoubted. , all spoke highly of his personal skills.
But at the same time, his young, energetic and arrogant character also left a deep impression on others.
Because of this personality, he had shortcomings in team coordination and tactical command, and the instructors did not hesitate to give him the lowest score in this aspect.
This is what the Atlas instructor team said about Johnny Leiting after he completed the first half of basic training and HCP combat training.
The instructors who graded the test all felt sorry for such a rare 'good seedling' who indeed had such a character.
At the same time, I also hope that the last part of the actual combat training, which is the 'enlightenment education' arranged by Major Murat (promoted after the fortress defense), can change this talented young man.
Now, the expectations of these instructors seem to be coming true.
In the first actual combat training, Johnny Leiting devoted himself wholeheartedly to the HCP operation, but as the backbone of the team, he had no time to take care of the command, and even had no time to support his teammates in the simplest way. Can do it.
Although he continuously destroyed 6 HCPs in the Avengers squadron and the squadron leader, the destroyer his squadron needed to protect was 'sinked' by the opponent, and all his teammates were also lost.
In the end, he himself turned into dust in the universe under the salvo of the opponent's HCP+ destroyers.
This type of confrontation training was conducted twice later, an offensive battle and a defensive battle.
However, although Johnny Redding could get the highest number of hits in the game every time, the final result was a failure of the combat mission
When the three rounds of confrontation ended, the two participating An HCP squadron also returned to the heavy cruiser that was the flagship of this small mobile fleet and also where the instructors were located.
In the largest room of Gnaku, looking at Johnny Letting who was holding his helmet and looking dejected, and his equally frustrated teammates behind him, the other Lubion trainees were also silent.
Most of their previous ambitions were wiped out shortly after the training began, and the confrontation training just made them realize that what they had, the 'rookies' and the veterans who had been killed on the battlefield. What a difference.
Even Johnny Redding suffered three consecutive losses, let alone others.
Looking at Johnny Redding, who lowered his head and said nothing, the leader of the instructor group, who thought that this arrogant young man was finally willing to face his own problems, asked:
"Have you just experienced the despair of having your comrades killed in battle, and having no abilities but being powerless?"
Johnny Redding nodded: "Yes, instructor, this feeling is very uncomfortable. I feel out of breath.”
"What I want to say is the same as what Captain Stark said. I hope you can remember this feeling well and I hope from the bottom of my heart that you will never experience this feeling on a real battlefield."
< br>The words of the leader of the instructor group were calm, but seemed to be full of stories. Johnny Letin and other Rubion trainees couldn't help but look up at him.
"Instructor, have you really encountered such a situation on the battlefield?" Johnny Letin asked.
Hearing this 'genius boy''s rhetorical question, the leader of the instructors group was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bitter yet relieved smile.
“Not just me, most of the people you see here, Major Murat, and even the Boss have actually experienced such a situation.”
The atmosphere in Gnakuli suddenly became a little solemn because of these words from the leader of the instructor group.
All Atlas employees present, whether they were HCP pilots, combat boat pilots, maintenance squad members or watching Marines, all recalled what happened to the Atlas combat troops before. A major irreparable loss.
Although the total annihilation of the teaching team is only a two-digit number on the death list, the status of the teaching team in the hearts of most members of the Atlas combat force is beyond the imagination of outsiders.
Whether they are Roma or humans, they will go to the 'Tower of Babel' to reorganize and receive some adaptive training after they first join Atlas, so everyone in the teaching team is very important to them. He is like a teacher.
Not to mention that in the subsequent battles, the training team also cooperated with various troops in many operations, and often performed some high-risk tasks, and had a strong comradeship with other troops.
So when the news came out that Baninger and the others were all killed on the Para IV, the entire Atlas combat force was greatly shaken.
At the subsequent funeral, it was not just Amber who shed tears of sadness, but everyone.
While the solemn atmosphere in Gnakuri was slowly infecting the Rubian trainees, in the virtual space 'Valhalla', Baninger and others were watching the excitement. But they fell into another kind of embarrassment.
Not everyone can have such an experience - watching their former comrades emotionally remember and mourn themselves.
Of course the immortals were very moved, but after thinking about it, they still felt a little strange.
Memphis: "Although we should theoretically have no feelings about this kind of thing after we become digital beings, why do I always feel a little weird when I watch this scene?"
Banninger: ". It's very touching. Brothers have not forgotten us." However, when I think about my daily surfing on the group's internal forum, I will see some employees with "artistic qualities" from time to time and write one or two songs of remembrance. When he was teaching the team and writing a short poem in memory of Captain Baninger, the expression on his face became a little strange.
Back in the Gnaku, the head of the instructors group seemed to have some insights when he saw that these Rubian trainees, even the unruly Johnny Letting, were silent. , also asked again:
"I believe you all can understand something. So Johnny Redding, do you know where your problem lies?"
"Yes, instructor, I have figured out what the problem is." The genius boy lowered his head and murmured.
"Very good. The biggest improvement is that you can find problems. I believe that as long as you can get rid of your own problems, you will definitely become a success."
Johnny Redding: "Instructor, I think the level of my comrades is too low, so our entire team is out of touch. Or to put it bluntly, it is dragging down my fight."
Instructors: "?"? br>Ruby Lubion trainee: “???”
After taking a transport boat from the asteroid fortress to the heavy cruiser, Murat was quietly walking into the Gnaku with Louis and Jacob. He was immediately happy when he saw this scene:
"Sure enough' Are all geniuses so clear-minded and different from ordinary people?”
As expected, Johnny Leiting’s words naturally dispelled the solemn atmosphere in Gnakuli in an instant. , and then lit a fire directly.
When they first heard this, all the trainees in Lubion were so angry that they were so angry, especially the pilots who had just partnered with Johnny Redding, that they almost rushed to make a plan. Let's have a 'Mortal Kombat' on the spot.
But when they thought about the fact that this arrogant young man also received an A+ rating in the physical combat subject, they stopped rationally.
And they found that they really couldn't refute Johnny Redding's words, because compared with this talented pilot, the technical gap between them and this talented pilot could be said to be huge.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems possible that they actually dragged down Johnny Redding in the battle?
If they could stop the three HCPs that broke through from the right in the first round of confrontation, or hold on until Johnny Letting kills the enemies on the other side and then return to defense, the result might be Will everything be different?
When these trainees fell into 'reflection', Manfred, who was watching all this silently in the crowd, held his forehead helplessly.
The few months of training he received in Atlas did not seem to have dulled the 'spirit' of his good friend. Instead, it made him realize how awesome his talent was. , becoming more and more proud.
He originally wanted to persuade Johnny Redding to stop the current situation from becoming tense. As one of the equally outstanding trainees, this 'Red Baron' also had a certain status among this group of Rubian trainees. Prestige', and Johnny Redding did occasionally take him up on his offer.
But when he thought of this guy's annoying character, Manfred suddenly felt that it might be a good thing if he could take this opportunity to make this guy 'bump'?
"Johnny, don't blame me for not speaking up for you, I'm doing it for your own good"
While thinking about this, Manfred stopped moving forward and simply Standing like this in the crowd.
Johnny Redding didn’t even refute when he saw his teammates, but his good friend Manfred, who was always sensible and would dissuade him at critical moments, didn’t say anything, and became even more conceited for a while. .
"I think my driving skills and talent are definitely no worse than any so-called ace. And in the battle just now, I understand a truth, that is, the personal bravery of an HCP pilot may not determine the direction of a battle."< br>
As soon as these words came out, the people on Atlas couldn't sit still.
Although they didn't know what this kid was thinking, they still felt that these words were somewhat offensive, as if they were questioning whether Amber's previous achievements were artistically processed.
But this directly touches the "reverse scale" of these HCP pilots. You can say anything else, but if it involves Amber, especially when it comes to HCP operations, then you must speak carefully. Weighed and weighed.
Soon, a group of HCP pilots, maintenance personnel, and marines, including Captain Stark, who had just planned to enlighten Johnny Redding, directly surrounded him.
Although everyone in the instructor group was also dissatisfied with Johnny Redding's speech, they still maintained their rationality and stopped in front of everyone to let them calm down first.
After all, these guys from the Lubion Galaxy are theoretically customers of the Atlas Group, and according to common sense, they can be regarded as their 'Party A'.
That's it. When the two sides were in a stalemate, a long voice floated in from outside the crowd.
“With your driving skills, do you have the nerve to say ‘no worse than any so-called ace’?”
