Under the guidance of artificial intelligence, Jonathan Enoch quickly mastered the basic operation procedures of the mecha and began to walk unsteadily.
With Jonathan Enoch taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated, quickly chose a mecha they liked, and got inside as fast as possible.
The first airplanes had hundreds of buttons, and pilots needed a long time to learn to master all operation commands. Modern aircraft have reduced the number of buttons by more than tenfold.
As technology advances, operations will only become simpler, not more complex.
In just over half an hour, these Aqiouhan soldiers could move freely and began testing the various weapons mounted on the mechas.
An Aqiouhan soldier controlled a mecha, leaped tens of meters, then performed a front roll to absorb all the impact, and coincidentally swept a burst of bullets towards a target, looking very excited.
"Captain, I feel incredibly powerful right now. We think we can sweep the United Nations forces and drive them all back to their homeland!"
Jonathan Enoch, as captain, was slightly calmer and shook his head.
"Don't jump to conclusions. Although these mechas are powerful, they are large. With so many weapons, their endurance must be limited. They can only be used for surprise attacks and not on the main battlefield."
"You don't have to worry about endurance," Jing Mingqiu flipped his wrist, took out a white crystal, and threw it over. "These mechas use cry crystal batteries. Each battery is enough to sustain ten hours of high-intensity combat."
"When the battery is depleted, just open the battery compartment and replace the battery. The entire replacement process takes less than a minute. As long as the pilot can endure it, they can theoretically fight for twenty-four hours without interruption."
Upon hearing Jing Mingqiu's words, Jonathan Enoch's eyes shone brighter. He couldn't help but exclaim, "These are truly good things! It would be great if there were more of them. Compared to the more than 200,000 United Nations troops, one hundred mechas are still too few."
"Who told you there are only a hundred?" Jing Mingqiu's lips curved slightly. "There are only a hundred now because one Kunpeng military transport aircraft can only carry one hundred units."
"This time, the Aqiouhan government has purchased a million mechas from Dragon Country, enough to arm every Aqiouhan soldier to the teeth."
Jonathan Enoch's eyes widened involuntarily at such a terrifying number. "A million units! Dragon Country actually gave us a million units of such high-tech equipment!"
"What kind of high-tech is this?" Jing Mingqiu shrugged. "For Dragon Country, this is just a commonly produced individual auxiliary equipment. In the Dragon Country army, this item is at the same level as a military uniform. Every soldier has their own exclusive mecha."
"Alright, enough of the nonsense. Let's recall the basic operations. Now it's time to learn advanced operations. Come, follow my command, press the red button, and activate overload mode..."
Before they knew it, Jonathan Enoch and his team had been learning from Jing Mingqiu for over a month. They ate, drank, and slept in their auxiliary mechas every day.
Now, they could maneuver the three-meter-tall mechas as if they were extensions of their own limbs.
The promised one million auxiliary mechas of various types by Jing Mingqiu were also delivered to Aqiouhan territory by the North Sea Fleet and the East Sea Fleet, under the guise of evacuating overseas Chinese.
On the border of Aqiouhan, at the United Nations Forces encampment led by the United States, US General William Stern convened a secret meeting with the chief representatives of other countries.
"We can't delay any longer!" William Stern's brow was furrowed, and his expression was solemn. "Dragon Country has supplied a large quantity of weapons to Aqiouhan, including one million new mechas. If we drag this on, we will not only fail to win but might even be pushed back to our homeland by Aqiouhan."
Bulwell Gran, the commander of the Commonwealth, said sourly, "A million mechas, Dragon Country is truly rich! Aren't they afraid of losing it all..."
"Dragon Country has no choice," William Stern shook his head. "Putting aside reputation for now, just the large number of factories, mines, and infrastructure that Dragon Country has invested in Aqiouhan does not allow them to be careless."
"After all, everyone knows that once a full-scale war breaks out, factories invested in by other countries in Aqiouhan might still be spared, but all of Dragon Country's investments in Aqiouhan will definitely be accidentally bombed! Just like the embassy in Yugoslavia back then."
No one expected William Stern to be so direct. The entire venue fell silent, and it wasn't until five minutes later that Bulwell Gran broke the silence.
"Commander William, as far as I know, Aqiouhan has fully equipped Dragon Country's war mechas. We are now severely lacking in heavy weapons, and our tank numbers are extremely limited. How can we deal with Aqiouhan's iron tide?"
William Stern waved his hand, revealing a confident smile. "Don't worry, this is the era of high technology. The iron tide is long outdated. No matter how tough these iron lumps are, they are still just crawling on the ground. They have no resistance against our latest stealth bombers."
"We just need to deploy stealth bombers first to destroy all of Aqiouhan's radar stations, rendering them blind. Then, we can deploy regular bombers to bomb Aqiouhan's military bases and important industrial facilities, which will completely shatter their resistance."
"That's right!" Bulwell Gran's eyes lit up. "Air superiority is the most important thing in modern warfare. What's the use of Dragon Country's mechas, no matter how powerful? Dragon Country's fighter jets are a pile of scrap metal. Now that we hold air superiority, what is there to fear!"
"However, to prevent Dragon Country from becoming desperate, I think it's better to issue a statement before the fight to test the waters..."
William Stern hesitated for a few seconds after hearing Bulwell Gran's suggestion, and finally nodded, agreeing to his proposal.
That evening, at the White House, the United States, along with twelve other countries including the Commonwealth, issued a joint statement.
"To save the oppressed people of Aqiouhan, we will carry out a three-hour uninterrupted bombing of key military facilities in Aqiouhan after twenty-four hours."
"For safety reasons, all non-essential personnel are advised to evacuate the relevant areas as soon as possible!"
Following the statement was a map of Aqiouhan, with all of Aqiouhan's military bases circled in red.
When this news reached Aqiouhan, it immediately caused a huge uproar. Residents near the red circles quickly packed their belongings and fled with their families.
The Aqiouhan official stepped forward and issued several statements attempting to calm the public. However, due to the immense shadow cast by the United States' previous continuous bombing, the effect was minimal. The public continued to storm the blockade lines, trying to escape to safety.
At this moment, Dragon Country also issued a statement.
