Getting a Technology System in Modern Daychapter 213: the developing situation (1)

In succession with the disappearance of the planes that had been on the road not long ago, another set of similar-looking cargo planes started taxiing out of the printer building and heading to the patch of the road that was suitable for planes to take off during peacetimes due its elevation being flat, as for wartime, the planes can take off from anywhere, thought that would just require a little longer maintenance or they could simply be disassembled and printed once again.

This subsequent batch of planes also carried a printer each and after they took off, they also went to new directions that were different from their predecessors.

This sequence repeated itself several times, with each round fifteen new planes would come out of the atomic printer then take off and head to a new direction that was different from their previous batches. This continued until ten batches of planes had already taken off, with the planes going to a total of one hundred and fifty different destinations, each of them had an atomic printer that took the complete space of the massive cargo bay, these were destined to arrive ahead of the soldiers who would be stationed at those locations.

Subsequently, they were soon followed by the appearance of a fresh batch of the same looking cargo planes, this time they were serving as specialized tankers, carrying rare materials in their atomic forms and sending them to where the printer carrying planes went, for them to be used in tandem with the materials that could be found from the constructed bases surroundings to print things for the soldiers and allow them to accomplish their tasks.

"I really can never get used to this." A man wearing a stylish navy blue colored uniform commented as he marched in a parallel line with a group of a hundred fifty soldiers on each line, all of them carrying a military bag on their backs as they made their way to the train station to be taken to the port to be sent to their stationed bases. He observed as the massive cargo planes were taking off one after another in short intervals.

"This is going to be our new normal, so you better start by getting used to it," replied a comrade who was walking beside him in the line jokingly and at the same time seriously since from the moment they were logged inside the universal simulation they knew that their world view was never going to be the same again based on what they had experienced there.

"I know, I know," he acknowledged the truth of the statement while adjusting his glasses which at the edge of his lens displayed pertinent details such as his name, age, military position and much more, indicating that these were VR glasses. However, the man who had just responded to him didn't have any such glasses, rather he had an earpiece on him fulfilling the same task.

These devices were given to every soldier who had successfully completed graduation from the Athena's training as a participation reward, these were specifically designed devices that allowed the soldiers to log in into the universal simulation when they were not on duty. However, during their time of duty, they were required to put these devices in their secure lockers and donn their official military gear since the military ones had permission to access things that even their gifted devices didn't.

These soldiers weren't the only ones on the move, as a contingent of fifteen thousand personnel would be leaving that day, heading to the same path those cargo planes that had taken off to before them. Their destination: the various military bases where they would have to fulfill their duties.

As for those from the intelligence department, they were already being briefed for their missions. About a hundred of them were about to be discreetly smuggled into Esparia, while two of the best among the graduates of the intelligence branch were preparing themselves to get ready to head for a mission to Russia.

This marked the official start of soldiers trained and approved by Athena to be entering the service of the military en masse. It also marked the dawn of a corruption less and a theftless military. During their knowledge assimilation, a subtle suggestion had also been added into their subconsciousness over the course of the entire week, it was done as gently as it could be, which rendered it impossible for them to be able to discover these changes. For them, these changes had happened to them gradually and had taken over a period of three months, making them realize and consider these changes as the result of the brutal training they had received.

As a result of this process being completed successfully, it had now become impossible for them to even consider exploiting the military resources needlessly or even think of using their position to coerce the lower-ranking workers into doing something against their acknowledgement or exploit them had become completely inconceivable.

Issues like sexual harrasment of female soldiers, rape, trading sexual favor in return for underserved promotion and many other reprehensible behaviors which were difficult for the current world's militaries to completely eradicate, had completely been removed from the minds of Eden's soldiers.

While all the soldiers who had came out from Athena's training other than those from the intelligence still had their previous personalities and everything coming with it, but all of their corrupt and negative tendencies had been completely removed, leaving them as forthright and sincere human beings who had been given the strength of a machine and an unwavering conviction to follow all the orders given to them by their commanders to the T, regardless of the cost, as long as it was an order from their leaders.

They were perfect soldiers, as perfect as one could be without resorting to destructive mind manipulation which Aron had no intention of subjecting them to.

As for those from the intelligence department, they were conditioned differently. For the women, most of the focus went on increasing their beauty to monstrous standard, with their proportions reaching a divine level. As for men, they too experienced huge changes on their body shapes and face, being developed to a very handsome face and although all soldiers who went through genetic strengthening had become somewhat handsome and somewhat beauty, those from the intelligence department still held one against the rest, with their minds being strengthened further and being assimilated with everything both a spy and intelligence analyst would need, making them ahead of the world standard by several miles even if you don't include the technological advantage they come with.

.....

The following days of the week were followed with the unfolding of a similar pattern, marked by substantial soldier movements and the constant activity of the cargo planes. The massive cargo planes returned and repeatedly carried the same cargo-loading routine they did in the past and embarked once again on a journey to a new destination across the Avalon Island and different parts of the country.

The already-graduated soldiers were already sent to replace their counterparts in the many bases that were adjacent to civilian settlements. Additionally, the new bases that were already built during the past months had been refurbished by the atomic printers that were sent there during the previous days.

As for the negotiations between Esparia and Eden, they were not going well at all and faced significant challenges with both sides not agreeing on a few key concessions. At the same time, both countries started bringing their massive military movements near the shared borders, each accusing the other side for forcing them to escalate even further amidst the negotiations, forcing them to respond to their movements.

At the same time, Esparia had started trying to rally the international watchers to urge the foreign countries to exert pressure on Eden who was using the captured soldiers as hostages and as means to accomplish their needs. At the same time, they had also started the talks for buying some country's fourth generation aircrafts, the talks also seemed to be going in a very positive direction since most of those countries were also planning on replacing their long active fighter jets with new ones of the same gen as they waited for the F-35 program to start rapid production after the testing phase was carried out.

And with the support of the Morgans behind them, many of Esparia's negotiations were going very positively. As for the matter of the shortage of pilots to fly these aircrafts, the Morgans promised to handle that problem by simply hiring the pilots who had left the military and those negotiations were carried out well, they were on the verge of buying about 30 to 50 new fighters within a month and since the countries having already planned to have their aircraft retired, they would also be immediately delivered after these fighters received their final maintenance.

They chose to announce their acquisition efforts openly, aiming to boost the morale of their citizens. This served as one of their publicly stated ultimatums which they intended to use for pressuring Eden into a compromise, persuading them for the release of the war prisoners. This was the opinion they sought to create within the minds of their citizens.
