Although Stark was very unhappy with the sudden change, because it meant that he would need to make a major adjustment to the deployment, Stark had no choice but to immediately contact Professor Williams, who was flying to Amsterdam Island, to change his itinerary.

At this time, the C-17A transport plane carrying American scientists was less than a thousand kilometers from the island of Amsterdam.

After receiving Stark's direct order, Professor Williams had to ask the captain to turn around and fly to the transit station according to Plan B.

In the United States, Professor Williams is far less famous than Professor Burke, but his talent is far higher than that of Burke.

Unlike Burke, Williams did not teach at the university and has been working at Alamos National Laboratory. Williams is well-known in academia because he is the only physicist to have won the Nobel Prize alone in the last decade, and he has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his major achievements in fundamental theory. Williams was forty-two years old when he won the award, but as early as fifteen years ago, at the age of twenty-seven, he made a name for himself with a paper published in an international authoritative academic journal. Williams doesn't care about fame, it's about academic research. For more than a decade, Williams has been conducting basic research at the Alamos Laboratory. It wasn't until two years ago, after Smith came to the door, that Williams' life changed dramatically.

At that time, the Williams faction was at the forefront of the list of candidates for chief scientific adviser to the United States.

Objectively speaking, Williams is the most qualified to be the chief scientific adviser of the United States, presiding over the daily work of the scientific advisory board on behalf of the United States.

It's just that Scott made the opposite choice.

Although Williams was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics not long ago, he became famous more than ten years ago, and the Royal Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Physics, which is nothing more than an affirmation of his previous scientific achievements, and does not mean that he is still a first-class physicist in the world.

The biggest problem with appointing Williams as chief scientific adviser to the United States is the conflict with Luo Jinyong.

Although Luo Jinyong did not win the Nobel Prize, his talent is not below Williams. In addition, Luo Jinyong is more than ten years younger than Williams. Williams is already in his forties, and the academic community has long been settled that it is difficult to achieve major achievements after the age of thirty-five.

This is a reason to be on the table, and there is a reason not to be on the table.

From the very beginning, the US authorities intended to go it alone and did not pin all their hopes on the Planetary Defense Council.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Planetary Defense Council, the first task was not to launch various scientific research projects and defense projects, but to sign a bilateral memorandum of understanding through consultation and negotiation among the ten member states. Not only do China and Russia have extremely deep contradictions with the United States, but China and Japan, the United States and France and Germany, Russia and Japan, Britain and France and Germany, and so on, all have accumulated grievances that are difficult to reconcile quickly. In order to sort out the relationship between the ten member states and allow the planetary defense council to function normally, it is natural that an understanding needs to be negotiated and understood.

The six-month-long negotiations made the US authorities realize that the Planetary Defense Council is only a loose international organization.

From the very beginning, the US authorities decided that if irreconcilable contradictions arose in the Planetary Defense Council, the United States could only act alone.

To this end, Stark kept Williams behind and appointed Burke as chief scientific adviser to the United States.

Williams's role is to be responsible for the secret scientific research projects of the United States, as well as to conduct in-depth research on the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilizations acquired after Judgment Day.

Two days ago, Williams' team of scientists secretly arrived in Darwin, northwest Australia.

Before the impact, the scientific research team boarded a U.S. military transport plane. According to Stark's deployment, the research team will immediately rush to the impact point, which is O Island. But what happened next, that is, after detecting the Y object, Stark immediately made adjustments and sent the scientific team to Amsterdam Island.

The operation is carefully planned, and the research team will first contact the Y object.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

After confirming the location of the Y object, Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev joined forces to exert pressure, and even threatened to use a super nuclear warhead to destroy the Y object, Stark had to make a concession and promised to send the Doomsday Force to Amsterdam Island, and thus decided to send the Shadow Force.

According to Stark's deployment, after the shadow forces brought the situation under control, Williams' scientific research team immediately landed on the island.

It would be great if we could take away the Y object. When the time comes, Stark can ask the team of scientists led by Zyuganov to go to the island of Amsterdam, and then declare that the Y object has suddenly disappeared, and other countries naturally have no reason to think that the United States is secretly playing tricks.

The problem is that the situation has changed abruptly, making it more complicated.

Thankfully, Stark was ready for a multiplicity.

About 1,500 kilometres southeast of the island of Amsterdam, a sea base of fifteen super-freighters is heading west against the wind.

In Operation Courage, the United States alone took on the task of designing and building a sea base.

The so-called "sea base" is actually composed of a large number of freighters built with modular technology, and the size of the base can be determined according to actual needs. For example, in order to provide large transport aircraft such as C-17A for take-off and landing, at least one runway of 1,500 meters long is required, five flat-deck container ships are spliced to form the main runway, five ro-ro freighters are spliced to form hangars and maintenance areas, and three to five freighters equipped with necessary equipment are required to provide other functions such as power supply, propulsion, housing, daily life and so on.

A sea base formed by fifteen freighters is a steel island that can be navigated freely.

The sea is not very fast and can only move in the area of deployment.

Immediately after the C-17A landed at the sea base, Williams led the scientists aboard the MV-22 tilt-rotor aircraft, which had been prepared for a long time.

Because the MV-22 has a range of less than a thousand kilometers at its maximum load, it also has to mobilize several large tankers.

The capacity of the sea base is very large, and at most it can accommodate twenty large transport aircraft such as the C-17A, or hundreds of small aircraft such as the MV-22. If the weather conditions are good, you can also double the amount of deployment by using the tethering points on the flight deck.

In order to transport the scientific research team and reinforcements, the U.S. military dispatched eight MV-22s.

The MV-22, which transports reinforcements, takes off first, and only then it is the turn of the MV-22 to transport scientific researchers.

This is the arrangement of Plan B. The adoption of plan B means that there are still enemy activities on the island, and there is a serious and even fatal threat to the personnel who land on the island, so it is necessary to increase the combat strength first. After the safety is sufficiently guaranteed, the scientific researchers can land on the island.

After more than an hour of tossing, Williams' MV-22 took off from the sea base.

Eight A-10Cs then took off in turn, followed by six specially modified KC-17A tankers.

The sea base cannot provide large tankers such as the KC-10 and KC-135 to take off and land, and the KC-130 is a tactical tanker with a limited range and cannot perform long-distance support missions. One KC-17A is capable of traveling up to 3,000 kilometers away to provide fuel for eight MV-22s or A-10Cs to return home, so six KC-17As are required to provide three in-flight refueling trips for sixteen aircraft bound for Amsterdam Island.

Because the KC-17A has a higher cruising speed than the MV-22 and A-10C, it is scheduled to take off after the worst.

At this time, Chu Tianjiang and the other three had already left the cave where they were hiding.

Under the leadership of Jacqueline, Chu Tianjiang and Halevi first became familiar with the terrain near the sinkhole.

Comparatively speaking, the environment near the sinkhole is very favorable for the two Doomsday Warriors. Aside from the bombed scorched earth area, the lowlands to the northwest where the sinkhole is located is one of the most densely vegetated on the island, making it an ideal ambush battlefield for the two Doomsday Warriors.

Subsequently, Chu Tianjiang returned to the airport and found that the Yankees had not repaired the damaged runway.

Obviously, the Yankees will not use a large transport aircraft like the C-17A, or even a tactical transport aircraft like the C-130, and only the MV-22 can be used.

Next, the two began to set up ambush traps using captured weapons and equipment, especially more than a dozen Doomsday Warrior systems, as well as high-energy explosives found during the attack on the airport.

For the two Doomsday Warriors, setting traps is the basics, and all it takes is time.

At this time, Stark was worried about another matter.

Thomas's change of course of action meant that it would take more time, and the transport plane carrying Zyuganov's team of scientists was about to arrive on the island of Amsterdam. Stark was faced with a choice, either to bring the transport back or to shoot it down.

Stark didn't want to be brutal, and there were more than a dozen American scientists on the transport plane, as well as several American pilots.

The question is, on what grounds should the transport plane return to Diego Garcia?

Although the other nine chiefs of staff did not come up with evidence to question Stark, who could use "strong electromagnetic interference" as an excuse to return the transport plane to Diego Garcia in the name of safety, the C-17A has the ability to take off and land on field airfields, and has previously sent Doomsday troops to Amsterdam Island. Even if there is no ground guidance and communication equipment cannot be used, the C-17A can land safely.

Summoning the transport plane back will only make the other chiefs of the general staff suspicious, which is tantamount to adding to the problem.

In addition, the runway has already been damaged, and the C-17A simply cannot land, so after reaching the island of Amsterdam, it will definitely turn back.

When the time comes, the whole world will know what happened on the island.

You can't let a transport plane reach Amsterdam Island, and you can't let a transport plane return to Diego Garcia after reaching Amsterdam Island!

Only transport planes can be shot down!

Stark was a little hesitant, but he knew it was the only option.

Coincidentally, the CIA sent a piece of intelligence at this time, so that Stark no longer hesitated and immediately gave the order to shoot down the transport plane.

This information is this: sixteen Tu-160 bombers of the Russian Air Force rose into the air at the same time.
