"The Sound Nest will not be disbanded!"

There was silence for a long time, and then Major William spoke.

Captain Robert rubbed the wound on his cheek for a moment, and glanced at the 'Sea Stallion' helicopter not far away, "Maybe!" ”

Savoch County, Colorado, has now become a taboo in the hearts of every 'sound nest' soldier, and the battle to encircle and suppress the Decepticons 'confusion' was so tragic that even more than half of the American soldiers who survived the war suffered from 'post-war psychological syndrome'.

But there is no way, who let the fierce battle in Savochi County bring too heavy a blow to the grass-created 'sound nest'.

If you only look at the losses in equipment, the losses of the American army in Savoch County are naturally far less heavy than in the battle of Las Vegas.

They only lost two Predators, thirty or forty Apaches, a few armed versions of the Black Shadow helicopters, and more than a hundred tank infantry vehicles.

However, more than 700 soldiers were killed, but the American army was dealt a heavy blow.

You must know that every soldier selected for the 'Sound Nest Force' is either a veteran who has served for more than five years from the Middle East, or a specially trained special forces transferred from the Green Berets, Delta Force, and Navy SEALs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every soldier is the elite backbone of the US military.

It is conceivable how heavy the loss of Savoch County is for the US military, and the "sound nest" that has just been created has become the focus of controversy in Washington for some time, and there have been many rumors that it may be disbanded.

If it weren't for Optimus Prime, out of self-blame, he personally led the Autobot team to join forces with the 'Sound Nest' to eliminate the two groups of Decepticons who were captured, and even made some concessions to leave the wreckage of the four Decepticons destroyed to the U.S. government to dispose of, I'm afraid that whether the 'Sound Nest' can still exist now has really become an unknown.

The helicopter's cabin was quickly opened, and a middle-aged white man wearing gold-rimmed glasses jumped out of the cabin with the help of an entourage also in a black suit.

"Looks like we're in big * trouble!"

Captain Robert muttered quietly.

Major William also saw the person clearly, and his brows were clearly and visibly furrowed.

They all know the middle-aged white man who just got off the helicopter, his name is Galloway, the head of the White House staff, and the current US president's confidant and core member of the think tank.

However, if there is a list of politicians in Washington who are most opposed to the US government's cooperation with the Autobots, Galloway's name will definitely appear on the list, and it will be very high.

"Major, you don't seem to want to see me!"

Galloway and his entourage soon walked up to Major William and Captain Robert, and when they saw them saluting him in unison, his head held high, and his face showing the appearance of a victor, he said proudly.

Major William looked at him calmly, and his tone was flat: "No, Director Galloway!" ”

He knew that the other party was deliberately finding fault, because of the particularity of the 'Sound Nest Army' and the relationship between the other party's consistent position, so before the 'Sound Nest' was relocated to Diego Garcia Island, Galloway was embarrassed by him with different excuses when he visited the temporary base in Nevada several times.

Nowadays, it can only be said that feng shui takes turns.

"Humph......"

Galloway snorted lightly and tilted his head to the attendant next to him, who immediately took out a passage document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to him.

Then he held the document in one hand, held it directly in front of Major William, and said coldly: "This is a special document approved by Mr. President, now I can enter the base!" ”

Without waiting for him to reply, he shoved the papers into Major William's hand and walked straight to the base.

Major William didn't stop him this time, but he still picked up the document he had forced into his hand and checked it, and after making sure that it did indeed have the president's approval and the steel seal of the White House office, he put it away.

"Guess how much trouble it will be?"

Captain Robert leaned in and whispered.

"I don't know!" Major William shook his head, looking at Galloway, who was about to walk away, with some worry in his eyes, "But it's certain that there is nothing good about him coming!" ”

After speaking, the two glanced at each other tacitly, and then quickly chased after him.

"Major, Washington's patience with those robot friends of yours is running out!"

Squinting at Major William, who was catching up with him, Galloway suddenly took the initiative to speak, and his tone was stern: "What do they think of the earth?" Garbage recycling bin? In the past six months, there have been more than 20 robot advent incidents recorded by NASA alone, and the Pentagon even suspects that there may be more robots lurking on Earth behind our radar! ”

"They?"

Major William frowned, and was about to argue with him when Captain Robert pulled the corner of his shirt, and the muscles on his face squirmed, and after a while he replied in a blunt tone: "Director Galloway, they are not machines, they are mechanical beings with high intelligence and civilization like us humans!" ”

"Yes, mechanical life ......"

Galloway stopped abruptly, sneered and turned to look at him, his face full of mockery: "A machine made of a pile of metal and electronic components also deserves intelligence...... Major, remember that you are a soldier of the United States of America! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Major William's face changed suddenly, but also Captain Robert's face became gloomy.

After a moment of silence, Major William finally gave up on saying good things for the autobots, and stood up straight, "Yes-sir." ”

"Good!"

As if satisfied with his attitude, Galloway didn't continue to target him after all, just stared at his cheek for a few moments, then turned around again and walked towards the base.

"Your Excellency the President has sent me here this time to inspect the current recovery of your 'Sound Nest Army' and whether those aliens are safe. In order to consider whether to continue the assignment for you as appropriate! ”

"Please rest assured that in the past few months, our Sound Nest unit has been replenished by personnel from the Army and Marine Corps, and except for some weapons and equipment that have not yet arrived, the strength has almost recovered."

Major William naturally picked up the good words first, in fact, the rebuilt Sound Nest troops are in a very bad situation now, although they have received some supplements from the army and navy in terms of personnel, but the quality is not as good as before.

However, these are still acceptable, but the most troublesome thing now is that during the encirclement and suppression in Savochi County, because of the last big explosion, they systematically lost almost all of their equipment, and now except for some individual equipment that has been approved by the Pentagon Logistics Bureau, all the other equipment and military aircraft applied for have been temporarily detained by the Ministry of Defense in the name of needing to be re-studied.

So much so that the soldiers of the Sound Nest Army, which are now stationed on Diego Garcia Island, even need to use the weapons and equipment of the marines originally stationed on the island for daily training.

Galloway listened attentively to his introduction, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, but most of the time he didn't say anything.

Major William was far inferior to him from a politician's background, and after a stalemate between the two for a while, he finally took the initiative to open his mouth and mentioned the current embarrassment of the sound nest.

It's a pity that Galloway didn't seem to hear it, but kept urging: "Please take me around the base first!" ”

"Okay!"

Summoning an open-top Humvee, he simply acted as a tour guide himself, carrying Galloway and his entourage, and by the way, Captain Robert, and the four of them spent more than an hour walking around the military base that was originally part of the U.S. Navy, and then finally stopped in front of an apparently newly built building.

“…… Director Galloway, this is the communications office where the remote Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting is held, and we use a special military satellite for encrypted transmission, which can effectively ensure the confidentiality of the meeting! ”

The Joint Chiefs of Staff is the direct body used to review and approve the actions of the Sound Nest Force, and is composed of the Minister of Defense, the Chiefs of General Staff of the three services, and the Ministers of the Navy, Army and Air Force, and is directly accountable to the President.

In general, joint chiefs of staff are rarely held.

Major William remembers that the last time it was held was after the Battle of Savochi, when the 'Sound Nest Army' was almost completely annihilated, which caused a shock in the United States.

Since then, the joint meeting has not been held again.

The newly built Joint Conference Communications Office on Diego Garcia Island was actually only experimentally opened for a few seconds.

Galloway wandered around the communications office with great interest, and after a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, asked, "Major, why didn't we see those alien friends of yours in the base just now?" ”

"Uh......"

Major William hesitated for a moment before replying, "Optimus Prime is very remorseful about the loss of our Soundnest forces at Savoch, so for the past few months, he has personally led a team of Autobots, tracking down information about the confusion. In addition, Ironhide is also hunting down other Decepticons who have infiltrated Earth along with the Horizontal Cannon...... As for Bumblebee, he is currently in the United States, protecting one of his friends! ”

As soon as he said that, Captain Robert knew it was going to be bad.

Sure enough, Galloway, who had already had a slight smile on his face, turned gloomy for a moment after hearing the words.

Almost instantly, he came to Major William, and shouted at him through gritted teeth: "Dereliction of duty, Major, you are a serious dereliction of duty!" ”

Major William was almost spat on his face, but despite the ugliness of his face, he could not make any response, for he knew that this was indeed a dereliction of duty.

When Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, took the initiative to contact the U.S. government, because of the tragedy of the 7th District and Las Vegas, most factions, including the intelligence agencies, the Pentagon and the White House, all had a strong attitude and demanded that the Autobots not be allowed to be placed in the United States.

As a result, after the establishment of the Sound Nest Force, it was temporarily relocated to the sparsely populated former nuclear weapons test site in Nevada.

After that, they even reluctantly chose the former Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean, an important naval base far from the continental United States, as the location of the Sound Nest, and after sorting it out, they notified the Sound Nest and the Autobots almost immediately, telling them to get out of the house quickly.

It can be said that from the beginning of the cooperation, the American policymakers in Washington dealt with the cooperation of the Autobots with fear and distrust.

Although the Sound Nest was established to eliminate the more belligerent and tyrannical Decepticons, the U.S. government also wanted to complete the management and supervision of the Autobots, and even finally achieve the effect of complete control.

Now it's a good thing, Galloway is one of Washington's most distrustful politicians of the Autobots, and now I heard Major William, the head of the sound nest, actually report to him that those Autobots who should have stayed on Diego Garcia Island are now wandering around the world outside, and there are even Autobots still in the United States.

In an instant, Galloway exploded like a powder keg that had been ignited!

One after another, all kinds of unpleasant reprimands continued to burst out of his mouth.

Especially when he mentioned that he was about to send Major William to court-martial, Robert, a black captain on the side, finally couldn't help it and interrupted his anger by interjecting.

Director Galloway...... We admit that there are some problems in the management of the Sound Nest troops, but there is no way to do it...... You should know that the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, cooperated with us in the first place to unite our human forces to eliminate the evil Decepticons who threaten the peace of the earth. However, the equipment we applied for by the Sound Nest has not been approved by the above, and now there are only some individual weapons that cannot be used in battle...... The Autobots may have seen this and chose to hunt down the Decepticons alone......"

Not to mention, don't look at him more like a big boss than Major William, but his emotional intelligence is much higher than him.

After Robert's words were finished, Galloway, although he still did not give them a good face, and even snorted coldly at Major William, but his attitude eased again.

The silence lasted for a few moments before Galloway slowly spoke.

“…… I will bring up the matter of rearmament to His Excellency the President when I return to Washington...... This time, His Excellency the President sent me here, in fact, for this purpose......"

He winked, and the attendant who had been following him closely behind him immediately stepped forward, took out a stack of pictures from the briefcase he was carrying, and handed them over.

Major William glanced at the bulging briefcase he was holding in his hand, and it was clear that there was something else in it besides the dozen pictures.

also returned a military salute, and he took the picture.

Captain Robert also took a closer look, and the two of them looked at each other, and their faces couldn't help but change in unison.
