14 New tech (1/2)

The next day, morning. Connor was the first to wake up followed by Ed and Reginald. Flynn also woke up since he was always a short sleeper. The four of them freshened up and went to the training ground in their training outfit (white top and military camo pants).

They began their jog after leaving the quarters. The four of them were in sync while running. They ran in a single row and both their breathing and footing was in total sync.

While running, they greeted the soldiers who were doing their morning trainings and jogging on the field.

After running for five minutes, they reached the training grounds. Training grounds consist of range training field, physical training field, combat training field and mental training building.

In Range training field, you can go get any gun you want and shoot the target to polish your skills.

In physical training field, you can run on the field, go to the gym or the swimming pool do anything you want.

In combat training field, well it is as the name says, you train and polish your combat skills. Hand-to-hand, knives or martial arts or even go fight others in the ring.

In mental training building, it's more like a cyber cafe with games. It is to hone your hand-to-eye coordination skills and decision making skills. Games are the masters for this field.

So in short, the training grounds is really really really big. The facilities are also top notch and nothing is lacking, even soldiers. Even though it was 4:10am in the morning, there were quite a few doing their regular training.

The four of them went to the physical training field and started doing warm ups. ”Oh my, never seen you be this active in the morning unless it's a mission, what's up Connor?” A guy in his 40s called out. Beside him was a girl with a ponytail and a cap on her head. She was also in training outfit and her racks were eye catching.

”Ah, it's just you staff sergeant Henry.” Lyle said as he stretched his hand. ”What? I shouldn't come here?” Henry asked with a smirk.

”Who said that? You can come, go and sleep here for all I care.” Lyle said, in a bit annoyed tone. ”You better watch your mouth when talking to a sergeant.” the girl said in a threatening tone.

Reginald, Ed and Flynn gave her a glare and she gladly returned it with her own. ”I don't care who you are or what division you are from, but you better watch your mouth when talking to a First lieutenant.” Ed said in s threatening tone just like how she did.

”Fir- first lieutenant?” Her face changed to that of a shocked one and she looked at Lyle. ”Now now, don't fight kids, looks like you are going someplace you don't want to huh?” Henry asked with a smile.

”Well you can tell that much, who's the greenhorn? Newbie from straight out of the oven?” Lyle asked. ”Well you can say that, she's my daughter and she just graduated from the academy, her scores are good.” Henry said, didn't seem like it was something impressive.

”Well I don't think those guys are any better though.” She said while looking at Lyle and group, especially Ed. ”Hahaha, silly girl, their marks can't even be compared to you, it's like comparing a tank and a pistol.” Henry laughed at his own daughter's stupidity. The four boys held back their laughter.

”They are that bad?” Henry's daughter asked with a surprised look on her face. Now they were really having a hard time holding back. ”Girl, you can't even guess, these guys are special forces and when someone is a U sol special forces graduate, then he or she is comparable to that of an American veteran delta force soldier and every single one in their unit is like that and Lyle here, is their leader.” Henry said as he pointed Lyle. It was as if talking proudly about his own son. He was bragging about Lyle in front of his own blood daughter.

”Hmph, they don't seem that good to me, if they can join special forces then I can too!” she bragged about herself. ”Heh, miss I don't care if you are old man Henry's daughter but if you are insulting our unit, you better watch it cause you might go down a rank.” Flynn said with his creepy smile.

”Ugh, he gives off a creepy feeling.” She went on defensive. ”Old man, I don't have time to dandle with you, I already have a ton to worry about and you are not on the list so stop bothering me.” Lyle said.

”Yea yea, I'll leave you to your own worries and refrain myself, try not to go over board and kick the bucket this time.” Henry gave a flashy smile and walked away while dragging his daughter. ”Like dad like daughter.” Reginald said.

”Fuck them, let's run.” Ed said and began running. The other three also followed him. Out of the four, Lyle ran wildly and he over took Ed without effort. He was running fast but he was thinking about something. Something bothering him. Others also increased their speed to catch up with him.

After running fast af for 30 straight minutes, the trio was at their end while a certain someone was just sighing while looking at the to-be-dawn sky.

”Oii, why the fuck did you run like that? Are you trying to admit us in the hospital before the mission even begins?” Flynn asked while gasping for air. ”Ah? Sorry, I'm just a bit out of it.......” Lyle gave a halfassed answer. He was about to walk away and do something else but Ed grabbed his shoulder.

*smack*

Ed punched him right in the face. Even though he didn't pack enough power in it, it still hurt. ”Feeling clear now?” Ed asked. ”Aww, damn it! That freaking hurts!” Lyle said while grabbing his nose.

”Come on dude, we're going to ground zero and that's the attitude you got? You better get your gears up or you might lose more than just a screw, remember?” Ed said. Lyle smiled. ”Yea yea, I remember saying that to a certain fucking idiot when he joined the team for the first time and got sent to China with us along MGUAF to rescue those HVTs when China was in chaos.” Lyle said as he wiped off the bleeding nose.

They began laughing. During a peace negotiation mission in China, MGU diplomats were under heavy attack and got split from the convoy and lost contact with the main unit. Because of that incident, Chinese government was on panic. If anything were to happen to them, then the MGU Naval forces in the Indian Ocean will move to south China sea and begin deploying soldiers on the east coast. With that, China will officially be facing MGU on a straight battle inside their own land. With the Naval power of MGU and their positioning in the Indian Ocean will prove advantageous to them and the Chinese navy would have no other choice but to push back. And if that happens, MGU would use their new generation destroyers and subs to hold the northern part of South China sea and push back the Chinese navy while the MGU carriers deploy the ground force on the shores.
