Chapter 1161: Chapter 377: Operation Codename: Battlefield Veteran_3
My good brother wants to cry but has no tears
"But I can’t fly a plane."
"You don’t need to fly the plane, you just need to connect your data interface to the plane, and then let Sky Net control it."
"What if the interface doesn’t fit and can’t connect?"
"Oh, there’s always a ’what if.’ You have to believe in yourself! You have to believe that General Bulashit is blessing you from above!
Besides, practice makes perfect, this isn’t your first time."
The Truth Department gave a gentle push and sent his good brother into the transport cabin.
This is a large transport aircraft rented by Lin Miao from Military Technology, specifically used to transport industrial equipment needed by the underground city. In total, six were rented, along with a cargo floating ship.
Inside the cabin, besides him, were dozens of players, all selected as expert pilots, and all experienced with flying simulators in Cyberspace.
Although their skill levels are far behind those of the Giants, and they can’t handle direct fighter combat, flying a plane isn’t much of a problem.
And apart from the exoskeletons on their bodies, and a handgun, they carried almost no weapons. The only other equipment they had resembled the thing that cooked his good brother’s backside before.
Two half-meter-long compressed air tanks, with the gas delivery system spread throughout the players’ legs, elbows, wrists, and back, developed from analysis of the buffer jet nodes on Lin Miao’s previous exoskeleton suit.
With this, players can achieve short flight, but not at high speed.
Sitting next to the air defense team, the Propaganda Department suddenly shouted in the channel
"Ground radar has captured electronic signals from the local air force, coming from multiple directions, in large numbers, we can’t tell which is real. Military Technology’s air force has already started, so get moving! If we lose one plane, we have one less."
The Truth Department casually closed the cabin door and spoke to Sky Net in the channel
"Did you hear? Release all our drones with the Mechanic, see which direction is real."
[Sky Net: Understood, do you need a codename for this special operation?]
"Codename?"
The Truth Department thought for a moment and asked
"Anyone started a vote in the channel?"
[Sky Net: Yes, currently the highest voted operation codename is: Battlefield Six]
"Haha, then call it Battlefield Six."
[Sky Net: Roger]

Boom!!!!
Suddenly, the trenches along the battle line, drone control vehicles, Pig Bay Airport, and the underground city’s mechanical exits
were swarming with small drones, like bees leaving the hive or migrating flocks of birds racing to the sky, thousands? tens of thousands?
It’s impossible to count with the naked eye, looking up, the sky seemed endless, with small black drone dots almost everywhere.
They turned their propellers, flew to a height of two kilometers above the ground, and distributed evenly in all directions, their optical and electric cameras aiming towards the sky.
Primitive scouting methods, but effective
Because, whether AI or electronic signal fraud, they can never interfere with the most direct optical effects, even if optical camouflage, such a large-scale movement, in daylight direct light can always reveal clues.
With over a hundred thousand perspectives, if people were to look, it might take thousands of eyes wide open, but for Sky Net, a few seconds later, it identified the total location from countless drone perspectives.
The Propaganda Department laughed in the channel
"Found them, flying straight in from the north, and so brazen, old third, today’s your time to shine, don’t let the Giants steal the thunder."
His good brother, tears in his eyes
"Can’t I not go? I don’t care for fame."
The Truth Department: "Nope, Super Earth loves fame."
Two transport aircraft carrying players accelerated on the runway, then raised their noses, retracted their landing gear, continuously gaining altitude
Behind the transport planes were hundreds of Predator drones, their four ducted fans spinning rapidly, providing Predator with turbulent power to ascend, under their fuselage hung machine cannons, air-to-air missiles bristling with hostility, looking like they were nothing to mess with.

Military Technology Floating Fleet Air Force Command
"Sir, Horizon Corporation wants us to hand this batch of Cuban Air Force over to them."
"What?"
The air force major thought the communication officer was joking with him; wasn’t it agreed earlier that the air force would be handled by Military Technology? Why suddenly did they want to interfere?
Military Technology may not excel in other areas, but their credibility in military outsourcing is reputable, this being their primary business, and they can’t afford sloppiness, especially with the board + Miles personally ordering him, this air force major spared no effort to ensure air superiority over the Pig Bay area.
A dozen fighters lost in the past month without feeling regret.
You should know, when they clashed fiercely with Huang Ban, they would keep fighting even at their hiring client’s cost, evidencing their thoroughness in military outsourcing.
Moreover, these days the air force major had watched these lunatics conduct ground warfare, harboring no dismissive thoughts whatsoever.
Besides, his lunch was provided by these people.
After some thought, he said
"Let the air force hold while I report to the higher-ups before deciding."
"Understood."
The major pressed his temples, contacting the military headquarters in Washington
"Yes....they said so...
Unknown, but they’ve launched many large drones, seemingly genuinely intending to engage enemy aircraft
Parameters...unknown for now, based on acquired data, those drones indeed have a certain air combat capability, however, not enduring...
Understood."
The major’s eyes flashed with surprise, then he said to the communications officer
"Have the air force standby at the battlefield perimeter, wait till they decide victor or request aid before deciding if we should attack."
"Understood."
