1174, Equipment Update (Part 2)
A Staff Department officer looked over the data and asked, "So, if I understand correctly, when the Hercules Dropship unloads units, it opens the entire bottom of its cargo hold and lets all those units disembark directly without having to line up?"
"That's right."
"But that also means the entire floor of the transport is movable. Wouldn't that be too dangerous for the personnel and equipment inside during the process?" the Staff Department officer asked.
"We conducted numerous tests to ensure absolute safety! The Hercules Dropship's size and carrying capacity are enough to support an extremely thick and stable armored bottom hatch," said the representative from Tyran Heavy Industries.
Several Staff Department officers exchanged quiet opinions. Army Lieutenant General Cheng Shitao also nodded as he watched the screen. What he valued was the Hercules Dropship's ability to protect the soldiers it carried even if it was shot down. This was extremely important to the Fourth Civilization Army, which was short on manpower.
Seeing them discussing it, the Tyran Heavy Industries representative continued, "So in our actual concept, rapid delivery and rapid deployment should be handled by the Hercules Dropship, while the medical transport aircraft can better assist frontline soldiers in combat. This is a complete, mutually supportive combat system..."
"That's enough, Representative Nolas. Please stop discussing matters that have already been rejected by the meeting. The Thor Mech as well as the medical transport aircraft," Qi Jian said.
Representative Nolas from Tyran Heavy Industries lowered his head and said nothing more.
Within the Fourth Civilization, these large corporations did not dare act as arrogantly as they did in the Galactic Republic. Before the machinery of the state, they behaved with utmost obedience.
A moment later, a Staff Department officer passed a document to Qi Jian.
