Chapter 438: Chapter 135: Unfavorable Start

The key is that Su Xiaocai sells these mechanical limbs at a low price, only thirty to a hundred thousand per limb.

To train a qualified new recruit who can go to the battlefield costs at least tens of thousands, not to mention you also have to pay them a salary.

This doesn’t even include special forces like Mecha Masters, commanders, or artillery troops.

Admiral Bai knows very well what they are opposing; they want fresh blood, some fresh blood loyal to themselves.

They pick the juniors they have their eyes on.

Soldiers leaving and returning to the military—what does it matter if they have combat power—when it comes to the production of mechanical limbs, they don’t even get a turn.

The cheap ones will only be for Admiral Bai, when benefits are not distributed evenly, even the fairest organization will have differing opinions among different people.

“If you’re using soldiers with mechanical limbs, then don’t pick people from the tournament.”

“You’re talking bullshit, right now we are discussing whether soldiers with mechanical limbs can be used, in the future, if your soldiers lose limbs, don’t use these mechanical limbs either.”

“You want retired soldiers to return, how is that the same.”

“How is it not the same, they’ve only been retired for a short time and are in completely good condition.”

Admiral Bai and the opposing voices argue fiercely, the meeting venue is bustling, thankfully it’s all in a virtual state here, so there’s no physical contact between people.

Otherwise, they would have already started fighting.

The five admirals sit very steadily, without the slightest intention to participate.

The promotion of mechanical limbs is imperative; what’s lacking is just the establishment of rules.

Returning retired soldiers harms the interests of some people, after all, they have been compensated, and this money likely won’t be recovered.

But Admiral Bai believes that this compensation was inevitable.

Above the admirals, there is a supreme leader, quietly watching them argue.

His wise eyes always smile, seemingly never getting angry.

When tensions are at their peak, he speaks up, “Arguing is pointless, come up with a plan that everyone can trust.”

With just one sentence, the heat quickly dissipates.

After venting out their frustrations, everyone becomes less confrontational.

A neutral party raises their hand, suggesting that soldiers with mechanical limbs could be used for security work in the final round of the tournament.

This way, the public acceptance of these mechanical-limbed individuals will be higher.

It also shows the public that the military hasn’t abandoned these soldiers and is actively resolving soldier problems.

In the future, soldiers with missing limbs will have more options available.

The supreme leader turns to the opposition, “Any objections?”

It’s merely a matter of arranging a few people to do committee security work; what could they possibly object to? The truth will reveal itself.

They don’t believe that complete humans can’t outperform those acclimating to mechanical limbs.

Admiral Bai and Vice Admiral Bai both breathe a sigh of relief.

If they had proposed inserting soldiers with mechanical limbs into the tournament from the start, it would certainly have sparked another intense argument.

The competition and power struggles were exhausting, but achieving the goal by taking a step back is a good outcome.

Upon learning they would need to arrange another batch of soldiers for security later in the tournament, the management team has a headache.

But these matters are beyond what the committee can control now.

This year’s tournament belongs to the military and Extraordinary Island.

In no time, a week is about to pass; in today’s team match, it’s Hu Ping’s turn to command.

He’s excited, muttering about using more underhanded tactics, being shameless, making everyone amazed.

The Vegetable Farmers pay him no mind; they even pray not to pick a match venue that allows his underhanded tricks.

To prevent other teams from figuring out the Vegetable Farmers’ strategies, they take turns in command.

Today they face the second team of Miracle Patchi Academy, not the strongest team of Miracle Patchi, but their strength is not much weaker than the first team.

Especially since they have a very aggressive forward among them.

Feng Wansha analyzed that the forward’s strength is equivalent to Pan Mingjie, but in a fight, the endurance-famous Pan Mingjie cannot contain him because he’s crazy enough.

This person is best left to Li Shanchun.

Li Shanchun, as a team reserve, gets called up for the first time, pointing at himself: “I’m just paired with a lunatic?”

“Are you going or not, if not, I’ll call Pan Pan in,” Hu Ping laughs and says.

Li Shanchun slouches his shoulders; he almost lost his personal match because he played too wildly.

His teammates scolded him for half an hour, prompting him to lower his head in repentance; it’s rare for him to be in a team match, so he definitely can’t back down.

“I’m in～”

Xing Miao: “This time, we must hide our strength, sending only relatively strong people who can immediately suppress. But Hu Ping’s tactics are too crafty, not everyone can cooperate with him.”

Hu Ping: “Hey hey hey, can’t you say something nice? I’m just shameless, not crafty.”

“It’s about the same, don’t interrupt,” Feng Wansha continues to provide personal information on the opposing team.
