Chapter 26 Tradition
"Please forgive me for this hobby," old Jacob said with a smile on his face. "When you are old, you become weak. I didn't care about these things when I was young, but at this age, people are more and more easily affected by all kinds of things around me, and I will feel more happy in such an environment.
"I don't think it has much to do with whether it is weak or not, but after such a long time, we have learned meticulous observation and careful taste. When we were young, we all filled our stomachs quickly and casually, but forgot to taste the delicious food, hurried to do some big things, and ignored some real things around us. It's something worth cherishing." Li Xiaoxiao said, "Fragrant tea, sunshine and grass, and it's just afternoon tea time. It's really a wonderful thing to accept your hospitality."
"Li, you are really good at talking, not like an excellent soldier, but more like an excellent diplomat."
"I've always been like this, but most of the time I'm facing the enemies of the empire. At that time, I can only talk with weapons." Speaking of this, Li picked up the tea, first let his nose enjoy the overflowing aroma, and then took a sip of the red tea. "What a good tea, so about the reason why I came this time..."
"Yes, build a brand-new Star Wars," Jacob looked at Li and said with a smile, "I thought you would gossip with me, an old man, all afternoon. It would be great if that were like that."
"Although I am old from my resume, now I am young both physically and mentally."
"So I don't have the patience to chat with me, an old man," Jacob nodded and said, "Well, I know, soldiers loyal to the empire naturally have no extra time to waste, so before starting to get to the point, let me state that coffee beans and black tea are from Belize No. 14 of the agricultural world. There are the best red tea and coffee beans in the galaxy, but unfortunately I don't have much stock here. If you are lucky enough to pass by there in the future, will you help me bring some back?"
"Oh, it's natural. It would be great if I could help."
"Yes, as a friend and a future comrade-in-arms. That's how it should be. Help each other," the old man blinked at Li with a smile and said playfully, "Just now, you showed the good qualities of being friends and helped me, a poor old man. Now as a friend, I should also help you. If you want to build a Star Wars Team, you need to do it at the beginning. What's the matter? Well, what do you think? Say it."
"What do you need to do first? "It's so sudden," Luo Lang looked up at the sky and began to think, "it should be necessary to run between the various departments of the empire. After all, this is not a simple thing. tedious procedures are indispensable."
Li Ye said, "It should be with the relevant permission. After all, I can't even think of becoming the head of the Star Wars Regiment without the gift of the emperor."
"No, no, no, no, your thinking is a little complicated. In my opinion, the first and most important thing to build a star war regiment is to think of a good name."
"Good name?"
"Yes, a good name, a majestic group name is indispensable. In history, there are many guys who want to use strange group names to form the Star Wars Group, but they have not passed the review and are simply rejected, such as the 'sling stocking group', 'cat-ear maid group', 'only be a father group' and 'special sister group'. There is everything in a mess. They don't want to think about where the Star Wars is. Can any messy people come?
"Oh, it's really some strange names," Li wiped the sweat on his forehead. It seems that there have been a lot of bold talents in the empire in the past nine thousand years. Out of curiosity, Li continued to ask, "What happened to the people who came up with these names?"
"The name of their regiment was shot together with the applicant. Naturally, it is impossible for such a Star Wars regiment to be established." The old man said seriously, "So the first advice I want to give my friend is to take your Star Wars seriously, just like your soon-to-be-born child, and give him a good name. Don't use something casual and messy to challenge the aesthetic taste of those censors. You should know that they have the right to shoot you for being in a bad mood. This is not a joke.
"I see."
"So do you have a good name?"
"Name, well, I really haven't thought about this," Li has a headache. If he wants to write down the things he is least good at, then naming will definitely rank in the top ten. "It's really annoying. What's the name?" Li had no choice but to ask for help from the young people around him, "So Luo Lang, do you have any suggestions?"
"Golden Lion, how about it? Look at my elegant blonde hair. It's really good to use the golden lion as our group name.
"Oh, it's just so-so." Li is short of this name.
"And lack of imagination and creativity." Old Jacob also attacked mercilessly.
"So how about the playboy? It's a very classic brand, and it also has a modern atmosphere.
"Do you want me to be shot?"
"What's the name of that?"
"Well..." Li's mind is now blank. After thinking hard for a while, he decided to use the name of a famous order in the history of the earth. Fortunately, this name is not used by other Star Wars in this world. "Just call it the Knights Templar. How about this name?"
"The Knights Templar? Do you guard the knights of the temple of the emperor?" Jacob nodded and said, "A regular name. The Holy See should have a good impression on you when you hear this name, so that your life may be better in the future."
"Well, the name has been decided, so the next step is to check the relevant documents. Please give me the key to the think tank, and we will verify the relevant documents in the imperial think tank.
Li took out a small iron box from his arms and handed it to Jacob. In the box, there was a key and a copy of the letter of commission.
Jacob clapped his hands, and a servant in a monk's robe came out of the porch silently, took the iron box, and left without saying a word.
"Then please wait for a moment. The whole verification process will take about half an hour. During this period, let me introduce to Lord Li the problems you are about to encounter and the rights and responsibilities you will receive. Of course, as a former battle mentor of the Star Wars, you must know all about these, but after all, nine thousand years have passed, and the empire is also very different from the previous one, so the relevant systems have also changed, so please forgive me.
"You're in a good job."
"Once you complete the ceremony and you officially become the leader of the Star Wars Group, you will first get a moon-class cruiser, not a big ship. You must understand this. Unlike your era, the empire has lost the ability to build large battleships. In the past three centuries, we There is no large battleship produced in the dock. Moreover, the warship you are going to receive will be a new ship.
"New ship?" Li frowned. The new ship meant unreliable, untested, and unpredictable danger. For these ships used for space navigation, old ships are always better than new ones.
"You don't have to worry. Nowadays, there are a large number of monthly cruisers in service in the Imperial Navy. There is no doubt about the safety of ships at this level."
"Well, I know," Li fully understood this. "I don't need any big ship, as long as it can safely transport me and my people to the right place. Anyway, a real battle will never happen in the universe."
Jacob nodded with deep approval. The idea that 'real battles will never happen in the universe' is actually the consensus of most of the Star Wars fighters and even officers. After all, the universe is just a huge black space. What really means is those planets, and the ownership of the planet. The competition will never happen in the universe. Therefore, in the eyes of most Star Wars soldiers, there is not much difference between the warships and transport ships of the Imperial Navy, and most of the time they do nothing.
"The regiment headquarters will designate an excellent captain and sailor for this ship," Jacob continued: "Of course, under normal circumstances, the captain will obey your will and sail the ship to where you need, but you should also recognize the captain's rights and authority on his ship."
Li nodded, "Yes, I understand. It's tradition."
For any captain who commands a ship that can travel across the galaxy, they may be a low-ranking officer in the empire's system, but when they are on their own ship, they are supreme commanders. For all sailors, the captain's voice is the emperor's voice and a symbol of authority.
"The headquarters will also provide corresponding weapons and armor, which will not be a good product. It can be said that most of the old equipment that the Star Wars League has long been eliminated can barely be used. These equipment will be provided to your regiment in the amount of 100 people."
"Oh? What is this?" Li frowned. He could stand not having a huge and comfortable ship, but he could not accept his soldiers fighting the enemy with some junk.
"Lord Li, please don't misunderstand. It's not the empire and the headquarters who don't understand the warriors fighting on the front line. We also hope that every soldier on the front line wears the most sophisticated armor and holds the most powerful weapons. But we can't do it." Jacob sighed: "After so many years, the empire has experienced many difficult moments. Various twists and turns have made the scientific and technological progress of the Chinese Empire extremely small. Some technologies have been completely lost, not only reflected in warships, but also many sophisticated and excellent armors and weapons have become treasures. We can't let everyone have the best weapons, so we can only compromise and let the best weapons be held by the best soldiers, which can also make these weapons more valuable.
"Oh?' Let the best weapons be held by the best soldiers. Well, interesting statement," Li said, "I agree with this idea, but how to tell that those soldiers are excellent?"
"Of course, the headquarters will not personally supervise every soldier. It is meaningless to do so, and the headquarters will not face the soldiers. Our target is the battle group. The headquarters will release some tasks that require the regiment to participate in some battles. In many cases, the garrison in the region will also send some requests. They need the regiment to help them fight against some powerful enemies. As a battle group, he can choose to participate in all these battles or not. Jacob smiled and said, "You must also know very well that the head of the Star Wars regiment has a very high power. A Star Wars regiment also has great autonomy and flexibility. The regiment can have its own choices to participate in some battles or avoid other battles. The commander can make decisions according to his own will and ideas. When a planet is threatened by alien creatures and the local garrison cannot resist, and the planet is in danger, as a star leader, you can choose to rescue or sit idly by because of strategic considerations. This will be a reasonable and legal choice. After all, we are Star Wars, the precious combat effectiveness of the empire, not the pure consumables of the Imperial Defense Force.
"That's true."
"Once you choose to participate in the battle, the headquarters will naturally make a correct and authoritative evaluation of the battle in which the Star Wars League participates. After the battle, the regiment will receive certain achievements. On the one hand, these achievements will be awarded in the form of medals. These medals should naturally hang on the warrior's chest so that everyone can see clearly. On the other hand, Chu's bravery will be recorded under the name of Star Wars in the form of specific values. If you want to make the regiment stronger, you need to exchange the corresponding merit.
"That is, through continuous fighting, you can get merit points, and then exchange these merit points for your own regiment for more powerful weapons." Li smiled. It's really a bit like playing games, fighting constantly, and then getting stronger. Although the rules are simple, they are indeed very appropriate. After all, for the soldiers of Star Wars, if there is meaning in life, there are only two meanings. One is to serve the emperor, and the other is to make themselves stronger and then serve the emperor better.
"Why are you laughing?"
"I just feel happy," Li said, "Participate in more battles and make your regiment stronger. Thinking of this process, I feel that my blood is boiling."
"But I have to say that your regiment does not even have an empty shell now, and you still face many difficulties in setting up a regiment."
"Difficulties will always be overcome, but I want to know what difficulties will I encounter in the future?"
"The most difficult thing is the problem of the gene pool. You should know that without the support of a strong and long-established gene pool, it is difficult to guarantee the initial level of the warrior. The dark crow guard of the regiment you used to be in was because it was too hard hit in the great rebellion, and the gene pool of the legion was also hit very hard. For these reasons, it almost reversed the destruction of a regiment. After that, Lord Crow also encountered great difficulties in rebuilding. The empire will send a think tank curator. These people will swear allegiance to you and manage the gene pool for you, but the accumulation of the gene bank needs to be completed by yourself, which can't help the headquarters and the empire.
The so-called gene bank is like the initial template of character construction in online games in Li's understanding. But after all, online games are different from reality. The initial points of each character in the game are the same, which ensures that the game can be carried out fairly, but there is no word "fair" in reality. Everyone is born to be different from others. Some people are destined to be stronger than others, while others are smarter, and some people will have some special talents. These differences come from the genes in the human body. The gene pool owned by a long-standing group can ensure that his warriors will be better than ordinary people. Star Wars is more powerful, which can make their recruits start higher than others. It's like getting more points when creating the initial template of a new warrior.
"I know," Li nodded. "I'll figure it out in this regard."
"What I just said is the difficulty for a brand-new regiment, but for you, there are completely different difficulties."
"Oh?"
"You should know that Star Wars is not an ordinary combat group. Each regiment has its own traditions and rules, which is true for us as a whole," Old Jacob said: "We have always had a tradition, which can also be said to be a bad habit, that is, we can't accept the weak. Our Star Wars Group is the strongest warrior group and a knight galloping through the Star Sea, so every incoming leader will prove his strength through a battle.
Li remained calm, as if he didn't see Jacob's sharp eyes. He asked lightly, "What kind of battle?"
"It's just a simple hand-to-hand combat, not wearing power armor, only using cold weapons. There are no rules in the battle, only the strong and the weak, victory and defeat. And in such a battle, you alone will face the challenge of the standard warriors of the three Star Wars. Jacob sighed and said, "For the general commander of Star Wars, this is not a problem. It can be said that the nature of such a fighting performance is far greater than the fight itself, because everyone who can become the leader of the Star Wars is a strong man on the battlefield. They have a strong body and spirit, and have withstood cruel tests and countless battles. The standard warriors of the three Star Wars are like three weak children in front of such warriors. Those who are about to become the head of the regiment are unlikely to fail in such a fight. Jacob looked at Li and sighed, "But you are different. The situation is the other way around for you."
