Chapter 1075: Pentagon Concerns

It was not only the British and Finns who were watching the battle, but also the United States, far across the Atlantic, who were closely watching what was happening in Finland. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the Ring Trade offered the card of a space-based weapon, everyone was grim-faced.

Later, the power armored brigade, the UAV airdrop tactic, the atmosphere in the Pentagon conference room dropped to a freezing point.

Although the footage captured by the British was not clear, they still felt the terror of the xenomorphs surging up like a tide, and how strong the power armor was to withstand the xenomorph attack.

If the K1 exoskeleton is compared to a bicycle, then the power armor is undoubtedly the existence of a motorcycle. Not only does it provide the soldier with highly mobile armor, but it can also be used as a fulcrum for firepower output, increasing the soldier's individual combat effectiveness to the limit.

Although from the standpoint of humanity, the last thing the U.S. Secretary of Defense wants at this moment is that the Star Ring Trade finally triumphs over Xenomorphs. It is best to follow the Hollywood script, where both the British and the new Chinese are defeated in front of the aliens, and in the end, the US Marines fight a war to save all mankind as saviors.

The Minister of Defense kept praying in his heart that the swarm of bugs could drown these two hundred "humanoid armored vehicles", but the reality did not go as he wished, and the moment the drone swarm rushed into the xenomorph nest, the defeat of the xenomorph had already been decided.

When the last Blade Warrior was decapitated by the plasma cutting dagger, the conference room fell silent.

"These hypocrites, they have gone back on their word! It is clear that there are only two orbital airborne brigades, so why is there one more now?" A senior US Defense Department official broke the silence and could not help but scold.

Secretary Ashton Carter glanced at the officer and shook his head.

When others say that there are only two orbital airborne brigades, do you really believe that they only have two? The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency did not come to take out a lot of equipment, and if they did not hear the news in advance, they could only blame the intelligence work for not being in place.

But this can't be helped, the ghost agent's native counterintelligence capabilities are too strong. For a long time, the CIA wanted to steal the technology related to the space elevator by breaking into the inner circle trade, but these agents sent to the new country all returned with a feather, and some of them went too far and even disappeared from the world.

At this moment, Comrade Hillary, who was sitting at the conference table, suddenly spoke.

"I'm more worried about their space-based weapons than the orbital airborne brigade and power armor. If they can transport tens of tons of tungsten core bombs over our heads at any time, it will pose a serious threat to the national security of the United States. ”

Everyone in the audience nodded their heads.

Although the Outer Space Treaty promulgated in 1966 mentions the prohibition of the development of weapons and the "militarization of space" in outer space. In fact, however, vigorously developing military space technology and space forces, seizing absolute air supremacy, and seizing the strategic commanding heights of safeguarding national security interests have long been the common strategic goals of all major powers.

If this treaty were to be strictly observed, all high-orbit missiles should not exist, but is this possible?

Glancing around at everyone present, the director of the CIA coughed lightly and spoke.

"Regarding their space-based weapons, we managed to get some tungsten core shells from Ukraine. According to the research of CIA technicians, this space-based weapon is not very technical, just an alloy tungsten ball about the size of a watermelon, and a gyroscope-like guidance element is installed at the center of the ball. ”

"It's easy to copy their weapons," he paused, a hint of helplessness on his face, "the key is how to get these tungsten balls into synchronous orbit. ”

If these tungsten balls cannot be sent to synchronous orbit at a suitable cost, the development of space-based weapons is completely meaningless.

"That's right. The White House military adviser smiled wryly, "If you use a rocket to put these things in a synchronous orbit and then throw them down, it will be completely superfluous." And the danger of the warp trade is that there is no binding international convention yet that limits the size of private armed forces. If they continue to expand their size, we simply have no way to interfere. ”

Hearing this, Hillary Clinton tapped her fingers on the armrests of the couch and muttered, "What if the relevant international conventions are made now?"

"I'm afraid we're going to be the biggest victims. "You know, a large chunk of our annual defense budget is spent on military contractors. It is no exaggeration to say that they have become part of the US Army. ”

Senior officials from the Department of Defense and the White House, including Hillary Clinton, fell silent.

If the White House were to open up to private military contractors, Wall Street would be the first to jump in and oppose it. If the military industry is moved, it is equivalent to the purse of all American conglomerates. Those notorious private military contractors such as Blackwater, Clover Jungle, and Deyang International are inextricably linked to Wall Street capital.

Next year is the 20th year of the general election, whether you can sit in this position, on the one hand, you have to please the people, on the other hand, you can't offend the American consortium too hard. Now that Goldman Sachs has just fallen, the WASP consortium such as Morgan Stanley and First Boston has dominated the entire North American financial circle, and no one wants to touch the mold of those capital tycoons at this time.

What to do?

Hillary thought with a frown.

……

The war was over, and the power armored brigade after destroying the brood took control of the military base under the instruction of Jiang Chendi.

Seeing that the victory and defeat had been decided, the brigade commander of the British mechanized brigade rode to the door of the military base and applied to the Transwarp Trade side to enter the military base. His reasons were well prepared, such as "recovering the remains of the fallen soldiers" and "dragging out the wreckage of scrapped armored vehicles", but they were still rejected by the Star Ring trade.

The reason for the refusal is simple.

There are no corpses or corpses here, and the creatures captured by the xenomorphs are eaten at the first time and sent to the brood as a high-quality tonic and a breeding ground for spores. Transwarp Trade only promised that if it found a badge engraved with English letters, it would send it to the British.

Such a reason apparently did not satisfy the British.

Retrieving the remains is the second thing, and everyone knows that those who died are afraid that their bones will be gnawed. More, they wanted to get a closer look at the power armor of the Ring Trade and gather as much information as possible about this new type of equipment.

Of course, in addition to this factor, their biggest concern is that the X2 bacteria will be appropriated by the Star Ring trade.

It has to be said that those murderous xenos are so impressive that if someone uses them for military purposes, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

The best way to overcome your fear is to get one of your own, just like nuclear weapons.

Brigadier Murston made up his mind, they didn't plan to withdraw when they entered this military base, anyway, Star Ring Trade probably didn't have the confidence to start a film directly with the British. When the scientific research team from London came, they said that they would study the formation mechanism of this brood, even if it was not used for military purposes, and it should be backed up in the sample bank of their own country in case of emergency.

However, the Transwarp trade rejected them in a shameless manner, and classified the entire military base as a private domain.

It was useless for the Finnish officials to mediate, and when their president asked Transwarp Trade to send troops, he disposed of the nationalized Arrowhead Company assets at a discount of S$300 million to Transwarp Trading. Legally speaking, the treaty signed between the arrow company and the Finnish government naturally transitioned to Jiang Chen.

For example, this military base is now a private property of Transwarp Trade and is protected by Finnish law.

The commander of the Power Armored Brigade had no intention of talking to Morston at all, and the two soldiers guarding the gate blocked him back.

Even if Morston was reluctant, he could only return to the barracks next to the small town of Paltak and report the news to his superiors first, and wait for the Ministry of Defense to study it before making a decision. (To be continued.) )
