Virginia, Norfolk Naval Base, Logistics Office Conference Room.

More than a dozen senior officers from the Navy's Logistics Service and Airlift Planning Center sat around the conference room and listened to a lecture by a lieutenant colonel officer from the Navy's Strategic Intelligence Center.

"This is a three-dimensional reality effect of the Floater's large artificial floating island project that Titan is building." The lieutenant colonel's explanation did not stand in front of the slide screen as in the previous military lectures, but sat there as if it were a regular meeting.

"According to Titan's own plan, they are preparing to join forces with the Air Force Space Program Department and NASA to establish a super-large sea base outside the Caribbean, mainly between South America and East Africa, which can be used permanently."

The three-dimensional effect began to display the number of wind and wave resistance and the size of the floating island, of course, it was also specially marked that there were three independent radar, sonar and electromagnetic wave integrated detection stations on the top, seeing this, the officers immediately understood that this floating island was ostensibly built for space planning, but it can be transformed into a military facility in an extreme time, and almost all of the people here are operating in terms of logistics arrangements. Although there seems to be no large-scale equipment on the port side, people who are well aware of the development of modern military logistics science and technology can see at a glance that the design of the port is also designed according to military supply standards.

The only question is, this floating island looks huge, how strong is the structure?

The lieutenant colonel in charge of the explanation continued to introduce step by step: "You are all in the military logistics department for a long time, and you can naturally see the interface reserved for military logistics in this design, from a certain point of view, you are right, the Ministry of Defense has been trying hard to win over the European Union, but with the change of economic shape, the European Union is increasingly showing a position that is inconsistent with the United States, so the United States needs a super-large sea and air base that is independent of the European continent and can be close to the European continent at the same time as an alternative." The Navy itself has submitted many plans before, but due to technical conditions, they have always been only theoretically designed. The most important reason why Titan's Atlantic Floater plan is valued by the Ministry of Defense is that we don't need to pay a penny in the whole plan. ”

All of you here are high-ranking officers, so although I was surprised, no one talked to each other (6)∑dǐng(6)∑diǎn(6)∑ small (6)∑ said, .2@3.◎os_(); discussions, still waiting for the officers of the Intelligence Service to continue speaking.

"That way, Congress will not blame the Pentagon for intervening in this plan, but the new question we face is, since we don't have U.S. government money for the project, and we are invited to deploy military units on the floaters, how should we respond to a possible congressional question?"

Everyone was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The officer of the intelligence department smiled and said: "After the Atlantic Floater is built, it will not enter the territorial waters of any country unless there are special circumstances, that is, it is a high seas building independently funded by Titan, and according to international law, the people of Titanus can independently establish a state and form an army on it." ”

A group of senior logistics officers suddenly frowned, if such a "country" appeared in the Atlantic, not to mention anything else, the logistics chain of the United States supplying military bases around the world would face new threats, so it was obviously imperative to deploy troops there.

No one will stop Titan from building floating islands, because the intelligence officer just said that the floating island plan is a very important chess piece for the United States to deal with the EU in the future, and some people have even secretly calculated that if the floating islands are deployed in the right position, they can also serve as an important force stuck in the channel between South America and Europe and Africa, as long as the technology of the floating islands can pass the test, it is obvious that the Ministry of Defense is even willing to secretly fund this project.

Lieutenant Colonel Intelligence continued: "Some of you here, some of you don't know, Titan and the Ministry of Defense, especially the Navy, still have a deep relationship, the owner of this company, lost all her relatives in the Indonesian riots in '98, and then it was our Navy people who found and rescued her at sea, and then was arranged to a military sanatorium in Hawaii for psychological counseling, and after that, her attitude towards the US ** team was not ordinary close. ”

Lieutenant Colonel continued: "You may have heard of the Lost Wanderer system deployed by the Ministry of Defense for patrol convoys stationed in the Middle East, which was developed by Titan. At present, the demand for the lost system by law enforcement and counter-terrorism departments in China is also huge, but Titan has always prioritized meeting our needs, as for the role, some people know, some people don't, you can watch a video of the battle below. ”

After the intelligence lieutenant colonel finished speaking, the projection screen on one side was finally used, and the video displayed on it was a record from the command vehicle of the patrol convoy.

"Convoy stop, alert! Alert! Nebli, I can't see it clearly, there seems to be a figure flashing in the white vehicle in front of me, did you see it?! ”

"Sir, I don't see anything."

"Damn, how about you go check out the car?"

"Sir, I mean, I was just watching the intersection, so I didn't pay attention to the car."

"Then stand still! Sterr, keep an eye out for the back of you. Command center, command center, suspected encounter, the surrounding situation is also a little bad, we seem to be ambushed, ask for support! The location is in. No, there hasn't been a firefight yet, but things are going on around us right now! ”

Finally, without an exchange of fire, the patrol finally came to help, and while everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they began a long wait, when suddenly a soldier broke the silence and asked, "Sir, are we just sitting like this?" ”

"What else? Close the windows of the car, be careful of the snipers, the whole team pays attention to the surrounding situation, and once the armed men approach, there is no need to ask for instructions to fire immediately,! ”

"Sir, can't we retreat now?"

"Damn, look around for yourselves, there's no one left, there's only three of us on the street now, and the location here is just right for the RP to have to leak his body to attack, and if an RP pops up at the turn of the street when retreating, which of you can guarantee to kill him at the first time?"

When the officers heard the words, even if it turned out to be a false alarm, the decision of the current battlefield commander was not wrong.

After a moment of silence, someone asked, "Sir, when will the support from the command center arrive?" ”

"Fifteen minutes, it will be there soon, everyone calm down, don't get out of the car, don't poke your head out of the car, pay attention to observation, we will be fine!"

At this time, the video was accelerated, and it showed that after waiting for about eight minutes, there was a loud bang behind them, followed by fierce gunshots, and everyone looked over in surprise, because it was a fixed recorder in the car, so it was not clear what was happening from the picture, but the words of everyone in the video quickly explained the situation.

"Oh my God, isn't that where we just came from?"

"It seems that there is still an A47, about two kilometers from here, could it be that our reinforcements have been ambushed?"

"Don't panic, don't get out of the car, pay attention!" After the officer finished speaking, he contacted the command center again, and then received the following reply: their reinforcements were not only encountered, but also ambushed, and they were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the armed men, and the casualties were unknown.

"The command center will send another wave of reinforcements this time, including helicopters."

A kind of logistics officer suddenly understood that the logistics supply was going to increase exponentially.

"Head, what are we going to do? They're here to save us. ”

"Damn! Attention everyone, let's go back to support, pay attention, all car dǐng machine guns start at two hundred meters near the intersection, alternately involve the doors and windows without interruption, and be sure to ensure the continuity of fire! Let's get started! ”

This is the end of the video, for these logistics officers, regardless of the outcome of this mission, the whole video seems to illustrate the question of how the logistical pressure on the Middle East battlefield appeared.

At this time, the intelligence lieutenant colonel said: "The video just now is the information before the Lost Ones system was deployed to the convoy, and your professional direction is not military command, so you should draw conclusions from different angles with other types of officers, and let's look at another piece of information." ”

A new battlefield image appeared on the projection screen this time, and unlike before, the video was shot by a headset recorder, so although the picture was shaky, the direction of observation was more.

It was also a patrol convoy, and encountered a suspicious scene, unlike the previous video, there were four Humvees in the convoy, and when the convoy stopped to observe, one of the Humvees drove away without hesitation.

After approaching a distance of less than 20 meters, a man is heard in the video saying, "Almost, let them get out of the car and approach in battle formation." ”

As a result, in the video, four cautious U.S. soldiers walked out of the approaching Humvee, spread out on both sides of the rear of the vehicle, and continued to approach with the Humvee.

Then, as expected, there was a large explosion in the picture, and the Humvee, the soldiers operating the machine guns on the car, and the four soldiers who got out of the car were all swallowed by the explosion.

However, no one in the video felt sorry, and some people shouted happily: "Haha! Go ahead! Damn terrorists! ”

"Watch! Now that the decoy has been attacked, our next target will definitely be us. ”

"Knowing the captain."

"Captain, the new bait is ready."

"Well, let the bait lure the militants out, let's get started."

As soon as the words fell, two heavily armed American soldiers began to approach the front in a trotting posture to explode diǎn, and at the same time, it is also seen in the video that this squad discharged a total of sixteen soldiers in eight directions, which obviously did not fit the number of people in a combat patrol convoy.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "Militants found behind you!" ”

Then the A47 gunfire was loud, and no one in the US army fired a shot, and the US soldiers who were sent out, as if they could not be killed, used various tactical actions to avoid the involvement of the militants, and there was no intention of returning to the team.

Another voice said, "It's almost all indicated, right?" Everyone assigned the task, and I asked for the first fire, and I killed all these bastards, which is similar to shooting a target, whoever misses the target, who goes back and invites everyone to drink. ”

"Hehe, that's it!"

"Fire!"

The next moment, the gunfire of the American troops was loud, and the soldiers who were still fighting in front also began to return fire, and the militants were basically killed in this round of shooting.

The video ended again, and the intelligence officer looked at everyone and said: "Everyone should see the problem, it is impossible for a patrol convoy to have so many personnel, that's right, including the Humvee that was blown up at the beginning, it is actually all fake, it is a fantasy created by Titan's lost system, and the application of the lost system in actual combat is still being explored, but all the ground forces that have used the lost believe that as long as there are lost people, the war mode will be re-controlled by the ground forces." On top of that, the 3D images projected by the Lost are too realistic and can fool infrared and low-light devices, which means that the appearance of the Lost is revolutionary for the military, in addition to the more expensive radar systems. ”

"That's right, from the perspective of war cost and logistics, it is also revolutionary, so that the war back to a simpler state, some people may know, the Navy special commando team is also carrying out a raid drill equipped with the lost man system, Guam military base in a recent actual combat test, a commando team can cooperate with the lost, without firing a shot to wipe out a marine regiment, and even in the end, this marine regiment does not know who did it."

A group of logistics officers were not stupid, and immediately understood that once Titan really built an army as stated at the beginning, then they themselves had mastered the technology of producing lost people, and the army they formed was probably not the opponent of the US army, which had only begun to combine Titan with tactics and combat drills halfway.

Of course, this was malicious speculation, and some officers thought that perhaps the Ministry of Defense meant to disguise itself with the lost and then deploy to the Atlantic Floaters?

That's right, that's what the Ministry of Defense and Titan have come up with.

"Titan, including its owner, has actually always been in the hands of Langley, and she herself has feelings for Langley and the Navy, although she finally chose to join the Air Force, but it is undeniable that the best relationship with her is actually our Navy, some things you may not know, the two families who adopted her are actually more deeply related to the Navy, and everyone should be able to understand from this diǎn that although Titan has the potential to become an enemy of the United States, but in fact, she is at least a friend of the United States and the American ** teamIn the future cooperation, we must pay attention to it. ”

So we're here to illustrate this? A group of senior logistics officials were suspicious.

"Of course, the main purpose of today's meeting is not this, but there is a project from the Ministry of Defense that needs everyone's participation, in addition to the technology just mentioned, Titan has also mastered a new type of food manufacturing process, which has now been built and put into production in Detroit, but Titan has not put this food on the market, but has used all the products for food aid projects, and the biggest supply is where famine occurs in East Africa."

"After Titan completely disclosed the Atlantic Floater program to the Department of Defense, we learned that one-third of the energy used by the entire Atlantic Floater comes from the tides, a quarter from solar, one-third from nuclear, and the last one from a new product for the Detroit plant. They have not yet said the details of the specific plan, but it is obvious that the production line of this new macromolecular food can transform agricultural and animal husbandry products into energy products, because Titan has not provided any samples at present, and we do not know the specific efficacy, but it can be seen from their plan that this new energy product is quite convenient and simple to use. After analysis by oceanographers, Titan has set up several positions for Atlantic floaters, and they have come to the conclusion that the floating island itself is located in a place rich in marine biological resources, indicating that the floating island itself has the ability to replace all energy sources with new energy sources, that is, this floating island may really be self-sufficient. And most importantly, the basic materials of the entire floating island are all built by the Detroit riverside shipyard integrated by Titan, using new macromolecular materials, which means that they do not have to rely on the outside world in terms of materials. ”

The eyes of the logistics officials suddenly widened, in this way, except for the defense system, the entire floating island plan needs external input, and in other aspects, this floating island is simply a perfect self-growing island.

The intelligence officer said: "The reason why NASA and the Air Force are interested in Titan's floating islands can naturally be understood by now, that's right, Titan's material technology is obviously also meaningful to the space project, although they didn't say it explicitly, but everyone understands that NASA and the Air Force are now treating Titan's floating islands as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to destroy this plan, of course, for our navy, it is also a good choice to have such a large sea base that can repair itself." ”

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "Then what is the purpose of calling us here today?" Logistical support for the construction of Atlantic floaters? ”

The intelligence lieutenant colonel shook his head with a smile and said: "We can't intervene in this matter, the Pentagon chose to let Titan do it itself in order not to let Congress question it, so we don't have to worry about this aspect, but we still have something to do, that is, to study how many overseas bases can be guaranteed by using floating islands as the last strategic base of the United States, and this is the main research direction of everyone in the future." In addition to this direction, since the Atlantic Floating Islands are islands on the high seas, it is relatively easy to keep secrets above, and we also need to study what the plan for the mobilization of resources and logistics is to use the floating islands as a starting base to carry out a rapid strike against the American enemy without the authorization of Congress, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are very interested in both of them. ”

A group of logistics officers diǎndiǎn head, this is everyone's professional direction!

This time, the intelligence officer said: "Then, let's adjourn the meeting, and remember that all the contents of today's meeting belong to the top secrets of the Ministry of Defense and the Navy, and there must be no leakage." ”

After the meeting, the intelligence lieutenant colonel did not leave, but reopened the initial video, in the follow-up video, although the entire patrol convoy made a fearless return to help, but was still killed by the elusive militants, in the final footage, the commander's badge reads "Wilson? Kwilla", and the intelligence lieutenant colonel looked at the badge and touched his own badge, taking it and writing "Rossini?" Kvera".

After Lieutenant Colonel Kwila touched his badge, he closed his eyes and muttered to himself with some sadness: "It's only two days away, it's only two days away......
