Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 200

200. Chapter 200, New Blood of the Battle Group

Chapter 200,

After receiving the 1432 points of grace this month, Gu Hang now has 1440 points of grace.

Even if all of these grace points are invested in the Phoenix, about seven Phoenixes can be produced at the limit.

Of course, this is actually unlikely, and the losses in the middle must be considered.

No matter how optimistic Gu Hang is, it is impossible to get all seven.

What’s more, before that, suitable personnel for training must be selected.

The selection method is actually quite simple.

First of all, in the past month, Gu Hang has selected 150 teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18 from all over the alliance. There are some conditions and requirements, such as background, past experience, physical fitness, and psychological state and willpower…

In short, there are a lot of various requirements.

These requirements were not thought up by Gu Hang out of his mind, but he took the suggestions of Martins and Rizzo and established a scoring table from all aspects. The weight of each item is different, and the 150 selected people are evaluated from this.

Under this premise, the 150 people have actually gone through a round of screening.

Now, Gu Hang has enough gift points in his hand, and the second round and the subsequent rounds of screening will soon begin.

First, everyone was trained to the T4 level.

This cost Gu Hang 17 points of gift.

Then, when they were about to train all of them to T3, they could not be trained.

This is normal, which means that some of them have the potential to reach this level.

Then divide them into 15 groups and upgrade them one by one. There are 6 groups that cannot be upgraded, and then divide them again… Although this is not the most efficient way, it doesn’t matter. Gu Hang doesn’t have to focus on extreme efficiency.

In the end, 9 people were eliminated, and the rest were all promoted to T3 level.

This cost 141 points of gift.

To be honest, this ratio is quite high, maybe they did choose well in the selection stage.

However, when they were promoted to the T2 stage, the elimination ratio began to become very large, and only 47 people were successfully promoted in the end.

For their promotion, Gu Hang spent 470 points of gift.

Finally, Gu Hang saw that there were only three people left who were qualified to be promoted to the T1 level.

This ratio really made Gu Hang sigh that it was really difficult to find someone who was qualified to become a space warrior.

Among the 150 teenagers who were selected from the best, only three could be trained to the T1 level.

No wonder, the three operations performed by the Phoenix itself all failed.

They only found a total of four or five hundred teenagers for training.

Not to mention that the Phoenix did not have enough time to train those teenagers, even if they were really given enough time to train and their gene seeds remained intact, Gu Hang was not optimistic that they could succeed.

The Phoenix did not have any plug-ins, so it was impossible for it to easily select the best candidates like Gu Hang did. They could only observe the level of those teenagers through about half a year of training time and “guess” the best three. There are probably only about ten people who actually have this qualification among the five hundred people, and many of them are just “potential” and may not be able to fully realize it in training…

No wonder, those mature warbands need an entire planet to provide soldiers, and a large number of warbands will also carry out cruel elimination in the stage of selecting new recruits, and even use methods such as battle royale and fighting to kill each other.

They just need a large number of young people to participate in this recruitment operation and carry out the most severe elimination. Compared with the preciousness of gene seeds, the lives of some mortal teenagers are not worth mentioning.

Low tolerance rate? Then select ten from 100,000 people. In the fight and harsh elimination, if you want to win all the way, you will be forced to show your potential.

Those who don’t show their potential will die or be eliminated, and the Space Marines will not feel sorry.

No matter whether the Space Marines’ way of selecting new recruits is advanced or backward and cruel, it is definitely not as good as the cheating.

Gu Hang didn’t expect that his [Soldier Card] system would be useful in this way.

Although the success rate of the operation on T2-level teenagers is actually quite good, Gu Hang does not intend to waste it on them.

Instead of that, it is better to give the precious gene seeds that are once every 100 points to the three best ones.

Gu Hang raised all three boys to the T1 level.

This cost 300 points of grace,

and then Gu Hang spent another 300 graces to exchange for three gene seeds.

All the preparations have come to an end, and the only thing left is to go to the operating table.

The whole process, if you add the training of special arms [Political Commissar] for them, the total cost will reach 1369 points of grace.

The grace points in Gu Hang’s hand returned to double digits.

It seems a lot. On average, each Space Marine candidate will spend more than 400 points of grace, which is twice as much as expected.

But the account cannot be calculated like this.

First of all, none of those precious young people with outstanding potential died in the selection process.

Secondly, even those who were eliminated have their own uses.

Even the nine young men who couldn’t even get into T3, even the political commissar Gu Hang was too lazy to give them training, and they were directly sent to the regular recruit camp.

But even so, these nine worst teenagers should perform well in the recruit camp, and they will be the ones that all troops will scramble for when replenishing their troops.

After all, even those in the recruit camp who have undergone the [Soldier Card] system training are generally only at the T5 level. The nine of them have at least made it to T4.

The remaining 141 people will all be added to the special operations brigade.

Before this, the special operations brigade had only a hundred people in total and was in urgent need of troops.

And the 141 people who were added were at least T3 level, the same level as the existing special operations team members; and 47 of them reached the T2 level, which is much stronger than ordinary special operations team members.

So far, the special operations brigade has been supplemented with about 230 people, and at least two special operations battalions have been formed.

Considering that the eliminated teenagers can be put to use immediately, Gu Hang selected the age of 16-18 when he asked his subordinates to screen the teenagers.

Although, the boys in this age group still have room to grow, they are still young soldiers when they are thrown into the army and will be called child soldiers.

But just don’t be a real Boy Scout.

Of course, the others in this group of teenagers are just interludes, and the most important thing is the three chosen children.

Gu Hang is now looking forward to their future.

…

Peretus Anato is from the Qinggu area. He is the son of a serf.

When he was a teenager, he was well-nourished, mainly because his mother was a little pretty and had some special relationship with the owner of the plantation.

His father should have known this a long time ago, but he kept silent; he himself didn’t know it for a long time.

Occasionally, he heard some rumors, but he just thought that it was nonsense and insults from others when the teenagers were fighting and playing with each other – anyway, he always told himself that.

But this year, disaster struck and the plantation was scattered. His father decided to go all the way north and take his family of five to escape – he also had two younger sisters.

Their family was lucky. When they arrived in the northern Qinggu area, the refugee camp had just been established and the infectious disease did not spread. They only stayed in the refugee camp for a short time before they were relocated to the Central Bank Province and landed in Weixing City.

And during this process, he heard a quarrel between his parents.

The content was about his mother complaining about the difficulties of life and why she didn’t follow the owner’s family, but was scolded by his father for being shameless. Then, his mother scolded him fiercely, saying that if it weren’t for her, how could he support his family by relying on his father to farm and eat the little salary given by the master’s family…

Anato didn’t want to think about those things anymore.

In short, although his parents had not parted ways, the family atmosphere had become very bad since then.

Both of his parents got the E5 rating and entered two different factories; he and his two sisters also got the E2 and E3 ratings respectively, and had the opportunity to go to school.

Family life was much better, at least they had a place to live, enough food and clothes, and a more promising future.

He didn’t understand why his parents, who had never mentioned these things in the past, had such a quarrel one day after their lives got better?

He spent more than two months in the cold war between his parents, until someone wearing a red hat came to the school to select the “most promising teenagers”, and he couldn’t wait to sign up.

On the one hand, this thing was cool; on the other hand, he also wanted to get away from this family.

He didn’t know how to solve family conflicts, but not facing them was a more relaxed option.

Many of his classmates were rejected after a simple test, and only a few passed, but he was one of them.

After being selected, the Red Hat visited his home once. After hearing that her child was going to be taken away, his mother burst into tears on the spot, unwilling to do so. His father also trembled with his hands, forced a smile and asked if he could not go, and if there was any other way.

They didn’t know what would happen to their child after leaving, and they instinctively didn’t want Anato to leave the family after their lives got better.

According to his father’s plan, after a few more months of schooling, Anato, who is already 17 years old this year, will be able to go to the military factory with him to produce cannons. Although the work is hard, he will be a stable E5 level after entering, and he can continue to be promoted in the future with accumulated work experience, and have a stable future.

This is the first visible path, what’s wrong with it?

His mother had the same opinion.

To be honest, when he saw his parents, who had been in a cold war for two or three months and had not spoken to each other for a long time, snuggling together and holding the same opinion, he became more and more certain about his decision.

If his departure could improve the relationship between his parents, that would be great.

But if staying would be better, then…

oh, he couldn’t stay.

He heard the conversation between the red hat and his parents.

The red hat said in a very stern manner that this was the alliance recruiting soldiers, and not following the alliance’s recruitment policy was a serious violation of the law and would be severely punished.

Then, he softened his tone and gently explained the alliance’s policy, saying that being a soldier was different from being captured by the manor owner or other settlements as a soldier. Being a soldier had a rank, benefits, and allowances, and was even better than ordinary workers, and had a future.

Moreover, the special training class that little Anatole was going to enter was specially opened by the governor. There were few places, but the future was bright. He would definitely have a bright future, even more promising than him.

First hit with a big stick, then feed carrots, and then draw cakes…

After a round of tricks, his parents were convinced.

Little Anatole himself was also convinced and didn’t want to stay.

Apart from the trivial matters of the family, how could a young man not be interested in the unknown but vast world?

Then, in the tears of his mother and the reluctant embrace of his father, he left home and was taken to a…monastery on the outskirts of Weixing City?

He had heard of this place. According to the people in the city, the angels of the Emperor lived here, and it was an area that mortals could not enter – there were special regulations for this. Violators would be arrested and punished, serving labor, deducting allowances, or even demoting their ranks. The latter was a very scary punishment in the Alliance system.

Could it be… that I could become an angel?

It was normal for a young man to love dreaming.

He waited for his fate nervously and restrainedly, but what happened later made his little head very confused.

He first had a week of training. The content of these trainings was relatively novel, he had never seen them before, but it was said that it was a common training method in the army, nothing special.

But during this week of training, his companions were constantly divided into different groups. Some people were sent away within two days, and the rest persisted longer, but were also constantly divided into groups and sent out. After a week, there were only three people, including him, who were still in the same group.

Moreover, during this period of time, he clearly felt that he had undergone a huge change.

His physical fitness had improved greatly. He was originally only considered to be in the upper-middle level of physical fitness, strength, agility and other abilities among his peers, but in one week, he had reached a level far more exaggerated than that of normal adults;

he mastered many military skills, most of which he had been trained in, but at most only practiced once or twice. However, he felt that each skill had become his instinct and could be used at will.

He also had a lot of military knowledge in his mind. He only read those knowledge once from the books distributed in the evening according to the requirements of the training, but now he remembered them deeply in his mind. It was not just remembering, but also understanding, as if he had actually applied these knowledge many times, and had a deep combination with practice…

These things surprised him.

Then, he and his companions were taken to Fuxing City, a place called Zhongsi Academy, and went through a week of training.

During this period of training, he gained a lot of knowledge. He even saw the legendary Governor-General in person during the first class!

In the following courses, he seemed to understand that his rapid growth in the last cycle was due to the blessing of the Emperor and the grace of the Governor-General.

The idea of loyalty was firmly engraved in his mind.

After the course at Zhongsi Academy, most of his classmates were sent to the recruit camp. It was said that they would join the special operations brigade and become a glorious special operations pioneer, also known as a stormtrooper.

He and two other people in the same group were taken back to the monastery.

Then, he was told that he would undergo an operation the next day.

He will have the opportunity to become an angel of the Emperor and the most elite warrior under the Governor-General!
