Chapter 642: The Autobots Fight Back (End) Ask for Subscription
For four days in a row, the headquarters or subordinate laboratories of several major arms giants in China were attacked one after another.
A large number of Autobot corpses they seized in Jordan were looted, and cameras clearly captured that it was Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, who personally led the team to attack the headquarters and laboratories of several major arms giants.
When the news came to Washington, D.C., from the Pentagon to Capitol Hill to the White House, a large number of high-level American officials were outraged.
White House, inside an office.
President Cheney slammed his face on the conference table with anger on his face.
"Fight back, we must teach those damn aliens a hard lesson and let them know who is the master of the earth!"
The quadrennial presidential election is still two months away.
Cheney has been re-elected for two terms, and according to the unspoken rules of American politics, whether the next president is black or white, it has little to do with him, and in order not to make his life too poor in his later years, he has been busy with his life after leaving office in the last year of his term.
The autobot corpses that he recently acquired in Jordan were a political resource deal that Cheney had taken out to make with the country's military-industrial giants.
Originally, his move was not bad, although the military and some domestic Silicon Valley giants were also very interested in the remains of the Autobots.
But during Cheney's eight years in office, the United States has been at war almost every year, and as a hawkish president, he does not mind accepting an invitation from an arms giant to serve as a director after leaving office, so that he can enjoy a high salary in the future and continue to maintain his family's influence in the military, political and business circles.
However, no one thought that the originally dead Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, was strangely resurrected again, and after the resurrection, he also mastered the ability to resurrect other Autobots who died in battle.
On the side of several arms giants that were attacked, surveillance equipment clearly filmed that several people such as bumblebees and ambulances were already dead, and the remains were transported back to China by the US military and given to the Autobots studied by the arms giants, and they actually appeared in the recent actions of the Autobots.
This is not a good phenomenon, because what the top level of the United States is most afraid of is that more powerful alien life will appear on Earth, and it will be difficult for them to be killed by most of the weapons equipped by the US military.
The former Minister of Defense, Voight, had already taken the blame and resigned when the main force of the Second Fleet was attacked and the entire army was destroyed.
The current secretary of defense is former Army Chief of Staff Eric, who has a headache looking down at a report of losses that the Pentagon has just received.
"Your Excellency, the Autobot remains that we acquired in Jordan have all been re-snatched by the Autobots, except for Drift, Cannon and Gloria."
He raised the report in his hand, "I'm sure everyone has already read this damage report, and the most serious loss at the moment is General Dynamics, where the Autobots detonated a bomb with a power equivalent to at least 1.7 tons of high explosives before leaving." The General Dynamics headquarters suffered heavy losses, with hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment alone, more than 10 people died in the explosion, and more than 70 people were injured. ”
"It's a warning, an alien warning!"
Eric said solemnly, "Apparently they are very angry that we took the remains of our own companions and used them for research!" ”
The former army chief of staff's analysis was still relatively close to the Autobots' thoughts, and many people in the conference room nodded secretly in their hearts.
However, his remarks also made Secretary of State Gabriel sneer.
"So, Your Excellency? Do you think we should raise our hands and surrender directly to the Autobots? ”
Eric stared at him, his face not showing the slightest annoyance at being targeted, he just shook his head slightly: "I haven't been in contact with Autobots before, and my knowledge of these alien creatures is very limited. ”
"But as a soldier, I need to make you understand one thing. We may have a battle with the Autobots in the future, but that battle should never be now. ”
Gabriel was about to speak, but was interrupted by Eric, who continued: "Please wait until I finish first, if His Excellency the Secretary of State has any more ideas after that......
Gabriel had no choice but to stop and listen to him continue.
"Not long ago, the Decepticons invaded, and we lost the main forces of the second and fifth fleets, and in addition to tens of thousands of naval soldiers, we also paid tens of thousands of casualties."
"It's the weakest time in the United States since the Vietnam War, and it will take at least two to three years or so for us to get back to the top of our game. But our opponents are not only aliens, but also other countries and forces on Earth, and they will not be idle during this time. ”
"Ten days ago, the other four permanent members of the United Nations received the remains of dozens of Decepticons from Egypt. Although we have the heart to stop it, we are unable to do it in terms of strength. ”
"The Tomb Wind Force is a special unit set up specifically for aliens, although its predecessor is the Sound Nest Force, but I have called up all the combat records of the Sound Nest Force in the past year or so, with all due respect, if there were no Autobots, the Sound Nest Force would probably have ceased to exist a long time ago."
"I'm not presumptuous, but I just want everyone to understand that we need time to recover and digest the alien technology applied to the Decepticon corpses that we have obtained before."
"So what's your opinion? Surrender to the Autobots and ask for their forgiveness? After insisting on listening, Gabriel immediately sarcastically replied.
Holding a gold-encrusted Parker pen, Eric calmly continued while playing, "So much has happened, not to mention that we have lost so much because of the Autobots, and the contradictions with the Autobots are irreconcilable. After the Autobots found out that we had smuggled the remains of their compatriots, it is estimated that even if we release our kindness now, the other party may not accept it! ”
He looked at Gabriel as if he were first meeting the secretary of state, who seemed even more hawkish than himself.
President Cheney understood something, thought for a moment and asked, "Go ahead and say your opinion!" ”
"My opinion is to first appease the arms giants in the country who have suffered heavy losses. Then there is no need for any reaction for a while, as if nothing happened to the Autobots attacking us. ”
Eric said, "Until the strength of the Autobots is completely resolved, our so-called revenge can only bring more casualties." ”
Not surprisingly, his opinion made the conference room suddenly boil, and the voices of criticism and opposition came one after another, and even President Cheney had an ugly face, obviously unwilling to swallow this bad breath.
And while they were still arguing in the conference room, outside, after a knock on the door, a White House secretary walked in anxiously with a document in his arms.
"Your Excellency, urgent documents from the CIA."
Cheney took it and flipped it open, and soon slammed him on the conference table in a fit of rage, his face even more ugly than before.
Everyone in the room looks at me, I look at you, and they don't know what's going on.
After a long time, Cheney took a deep breath, looked at the new Secretary of Defense Eric and said: "Regarding the development of the Tombwind Force, I need a detailed plan, and send it to me before tomorrow night, and I will personally go to the Congress to apply for a special financial allocation for the Tombwind." ”
None of them knew what was in the emergency document, but after leaving the room, they quickly found out.
The Loma Company, a U.S. arms giant that has developed many well-known aircraft products for the U.S. military, including the U-2 reconnaissance plane, the SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane, the F-117 Nighthawk fighter, the F-35 Lightning II fighter, and the F-22 Raptor fighter was attacked by the Autobots.
The Skunk Factory, where the Autobots' drifts, cannons, and Gloria's remains were stored, caused heavy losses to Loma, and it will take at least a year or more for the F-22 to resume production in mass production.
The F-35, which had just been finalized, also had to temporarily stop testing, in short, because of the retaliation of the Autobots, the US military industry suffered heavy losses.
It was this information that forced Cheney to temporarily suppress his anger against the Autobots.
……
There was another power outage today, and it was longer than yesterday, and I needed to catch up on the manuscript at the Internet café.
