Chapter 753: The Clouds of War
The Precursors have returned to Base 2 to prepare for a new airframe.
Sun Cheng stayed on Trindaddy Island for the time being, dealing with some tedious things that he hadn't been distracted by for a long time.
The clouds of war that have hung over the earth have never been stronger.
He would have this feeling, not just because the war that happened on the far side of the moon a few days ago made Sun Cheng see the military power hidden in the secret by the Decepticons.
The Autobots' deep roots due to the arrival of the Flying Taipo also made his mind disorient and the memories of Cybertron's brutal civil war in the past began to revivenation.
And now on the earth, even the conflicts between human countries are intensifying day by day.
The United States is the only superpower on the planet after the end of the US-Soviet hegemony.
For more than half a century, the United States has simply disdained to hide behind the world.
Armed with the CIA and powerful military forces across the world, the United States has interfered in the internal affairs of other countries in northern and southern Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, Central and South America, and supported rebels and even terrorist organizations.
I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet, and Lao Mei is now pitting herself in.
In late September of this year, Georgia, a country in West Asia, launched a military operation against South Ossetia, an autonomous region that sought secession within its borders, and quickly captured its capital.
Moscow then announced that it would send troops to South Austria in the name of protecting its own people, and a lightning battle with the Georgian army began.
In just two days, the Russian army eliminated all Georgian troops in South Austria and unilaterally announced the cessation of military operations.
Subsequently, the Georgian army, which had reacted, began to assemble again, and around South Austria, there was a military friction between Russia and Georgia that lasted for half a month.
At one time, some Russian media revealed that a large number of military experts, mercenaries and even active-duty soldiers with NATO background participated in this war in the name of the Georgian army.
NATO obviously does not know that the Decepticons, who have the soul of an earthly other world, reached a cooperation with Moscow as early as a year ago, and in the past year or so, they have continued to hand over a large number of advanced equipment and technology.
During the South Austrian War, the Russian army showed terrifying combat effectiveness, and the conflict that lasted for more than half a month not only cost Georgia more than 12,000 soldiers killed, wounded and captured, but also destroyed more than 100 artillery, tanks and aircraft.
What shocked the whole world the most was a big news exposed by the Russian media, in which the total number of NATO soldiers and mercenaries who participated in the conflict in South Austria in the name of the Georgian army and were killed or captured by the Russian army exceeded 600.
After the news was exposed, although NATO countries flatly denied it, in the past two or three months, diplomats from several Western European countries have been caught visiting Moscow suddenly, and NATO has intensively held three military exercises with very obvious targets in Northern Europe, the North Atlantic region, and the Mediterranean.
It's a pity that these military exercises have also exposed the weakness of the United States.
During the exercise, the US military dispatched an amphibious assault ship, several Burke-class destroyers, and a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, and it is said that three nuclear submarines also participated in the exercise.
However, none of the US Navy's aircraft carriers, which US politicians proudly called 'aircraft carriers that are the United States,' appeared during the exercise.
The United States, which claims to be equipped with 10 aircraft carrier strike groups at the same time, is now in the midst of the most declining period of its navy after losing three aircraft carriers of the Second and Fifth Fleets.
It is true that they still have seven aircraft carriers, but of the remaining seven aircraft carriers, four aircraft carriers are in the process of modernization, and two aircraft carriers have just finished their deployment at the beginning of the year and returned to port to rest and undergo phased transformation.
The U.S. Navy currently has only one aircraft carrier, which has just been rearmed and painted, and is currently deployed on its own soil.
After the weakness of the military of this self-proclaimed world policeman was torn apart by polar bears, all of a sudden, those countries and forces that have been plagued by the United States for decades have recently begun to be restless.
The Middle East is the region that has attracted the most attention from the world in recent times, except for the North Caucasus and Brazil.
The power of the base in Afghanistan has expanded rapidly again, and a certain IS that has split from the base has gradually gained some notoriety.
Somali pirates have frequently attacked in the Red Sea and the western Indian Ocean, and even some countries along the North African and Caribbean coasts have recently begun to protest against the United States.
Looking around the world, a big dark cloud is gradually taking shape.
The smell of gunpowder smoke seems to have become more and more intense in the air.
Sun Cheng is very aware of his embarrassing identity, betrayed the Decepticon Legion, and is not an Autobot and Earth, he is worried that once a full-scale war breaks out, he is likely to become the target of public criticism, and he is also stepping up preparations.
Although he is located on Trindadi Island, he has left a lot of backhands on the second base, even if it is thousands of miles away, it will not affect his control over there, but he will be relatively slow to react.
In the past few months, the preparation speed of the No. 2 base has not been slow at all.
In the team of engineers led by Atlas and under Sun Cheng, three Decepticon engineers have been successfully promoted to senior engineers.
After being promoted to Senior Engineer, they already possess combat abilities that are slightly inferior to those of Senior Fighters.
And because the core, tinder and body have been targeted for a series of optimizations, the improvement of Decepticon senior engineers in scientific research and manufacturing is not the same as in the past.
The Decepticon engineers who initially followed Sun Cheng will all be promoted to senior engineers, but there will be a sequence in time, after all, the second base has arranged too many tasks, and it is still a bit difficult to rely on a South America that has not yet been fully mastered by them.
Since he devised a new promotion system, 23 engineers have been directly promoted to engineers, more than 110 to technical officers, and 12 to doctors.
The number of ordinary soldiers promoted by engineers has exceeded 270; There are also more than 50 spies.
Thanks to the precious technology obtained from the scalpel, the cultivation of sappers who were stuck in the neck of the development of Base 2 before is finally no longer a gamble on luck.
The success rate of the Decepticon engineers under Sun Cheng in cultivating a new generation of engineers has gradually increased from less than one-third to more than eighty percent.
The increase has almost tripled, so that dozens of sappers can be cultivated almost every week in the cultivation center of Base 2.
In order to form an army as soon as possible, Sun Cheng gave up the method commonly used by the Red Spider and the Decepticon Legion to directly cultivate soldiers.
Base 2 began to cultivate lower-level sappers in large quantities, and then after a period of training, they were targeted to improve.
Applying this method, although it wastes more resources, it is more than half the time it takes to train a soldier directly.
