Chapter 730: Surprise
A suburb of London, England.
The world-famous gentlemanly demeanor is naturally impossible to maintain when it comes to military aspects.
The twelve seats at the round table in the secret room of the British Prime Minister's Office, except for Mrs. M, all used a Chinese saying: the most dangerous place is the safest, as their code of conduct for this time to contain the two Decepticons, Shocking and Barricade.
They placed the Breakers and Barricades in a secret base on the outskirts of London, the capital of England, with a resident population that makes the city's daily throughput a staggering figure, and in recent times, a staggering number of supplies that had not been delivered to London before.
The purpose of the existence of these materials is to allow Shocking Sky to create weapons similar to the 'Iron Overlord'.
Raytheon's Iron Overlord has been confirmed by Wen Ming to be weak, and although many countries are still researching similar weapons, they are only treating this weapon as a kind of transition to prepare for the development of more advanced 'mecha-like' weapons.
But when he swore to the British side that he could create mecha-like weapons that were countless times more powerful than the Iron Overlord, the British government couldn't wait to start the project.
The demonstration of the first laboratory model was shocked by the eleven people at the round table, so the mass production work started in the shortest possible time.
Normally, it is difficult for individuals to participate in national projects, but due to the fact that the UK has invested a lot of resources in the 'Circum-Earth Defense Belt' project, and then secretly started the construction of a spaceship called 'Hope', the British government can no longer afford the mass production of mecha-like projects called 'Hunter'.
This is also why, in the previous meeting held in the British Prime Minister's secret room, there were many people at the round table who were not in charge of official powers, even Prince Charles, who did not have as much power as the British Prime Minister, but the British Prime Minister needed to listen to their opinions.
In the final analysis, those people hold the capital, the huge inheritance left by the nobles inherited from the British 'sun never sets' period to future generations, and the resources that have been multiplied by the children and grandchildren I don't know how many times.
There are also families that have been inherited from that period, and because of historical reasons, they have to close the curtain on this world, but the twelve positions at the round table are fixed, and some people leave, and naturally there are new people to join.
Three major projects were launched at the same time, and the British side was very enthusiastic about the original 'Circumference Belt' plan.
Their current focus is on the 'Hope' program and the 'Hunter' program.
"Our hope is in the universe, so we need the 'Hope' spaceship, which will carry our descendants, take root on a planet in the universe with an Earth-like environment, and use the materials and technology they carry to make humanity an interstellar civilization in the shortest possible time. Of course, it is very likely that only our descendants with aristocratic blood were left in the human race at that time. ”
Sir Edmund's title is much weaker than the title of Earl held by Lady M of the British MI6 on the surface, but in fact since they can sit at the same round table, it already shows that the status of the two and the resources they represent are equal.
In this secret base in the suburbs of London, he looked at the 'hunter mechs' that had taken shape, and said: "But we can't completely bury our source and the people under our rule just because we have hope." ”
The aristocratic inheritance of hundreds of years has made Sir Edmund's attitude towards the world very painful for ordinary people.
"Therefore, we must have the power of guardianship, and the existence of the 'Hunter' project is to ensure the existence of our foundation on the earth."
Looking at the Hunter mechs that reflected the cold light of metal, Sir Edmund suddenly felt that the world was changing too fast, and it was a little overwhelming.
Five years ago, everything was a stable and orderly development, and in the past five years, all kinds of new things, as well as previously unimaginable technology, have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Just like before, even with the help of Shocking Heaven, it is impossible for them to create 10 Transformers with a height of 9 meters in such a short time, that is, the 'Hunter' series of remotely operated mechas.
Because the overall level of science and technology, as well as industrial capacity, limits their manufacturing speed.
However, after Raytheon was able to create the 'Iron Overlord', and because of their participation in the construction plan of the 'Circum-Earth Defense Belt', Space Fortress and defensive laser weapon satellites, and even Night Raven space fighters were able to be built.
Is the scientific and technological base and the industrial base still a problem?
"The key issue now." Sir Edmund said, "How many 'Hunter' mechs do we need?" ”
Another member of the round table standing next to him said: "Of course, you can make as much as you can, although the situation of future wars has changed, and the decisive battle will rise from the ground to the air and even the sky." ”
"But ground warfare is also very crucial, and ground warfare no longer depends on the number and tactical literacy of soldiers, nor on armored vehicles and tanks, only the 'Hunter' mecha can determine the outcome of the ground war."
"As for air combat, whether it is a battle between fighters, or the attack and defense of missiles, after having the 'Night Raven', as well as the defensive laser weapon satellite, all of us are equal."
"Because nuclear weapons are still the greatest deterrent, no one is going to start a real nuclear war."
Build as much as you can!
This sentence was not a problem at all for them before, because they had a lot of resources at their disposal. No amount of resources can sustain the three projects they have carried out in the past two years.
Sir Edelman sighed and said, "The current plan is to build a hundred, and the relevant operators have already entered the training stage, if you still have a coffin book, you can add a few more for us." ”
Another member of the round table smiled and changed the subject, saying, "They should be here, this is the first demonstration of the production model, speaking of which, even if Mrs. M is not willing to participate in the 'Hope' project, she should not even participate in the 'Hunter' project." ”
Sir Edmund had a good relationship with Madame M, and he said: "She is preparing to retire because she feels that the world is changing too fast, and Wen Ming, who she wants to solve the most, has no idea what to do because of her status and influence, so she ...... Alas! ”
Sighing again, Sir Edmund was very helpless, the people in this world who could make Mrs. M unable to start, or even directly give up the hope of revenge, were only two slaps in total of fingers, and Wen Ming happened to be one of them.
The other person also sighed and said, "I just don't know what Wen Ming will think of our decision this time, if he wants to go crazy, perhaps, he won't be able to wait for us to squeeze out the Shocking Heaven, and then turn around with the Shocking Heaven and continue to cooperate with him." ”
Sir Edmund smiled and said, "We were afraid that he would go mad, but now, do we really need to be afraid?" His 'Bright Light' armor can easily defeat the Iron Overlord, but how can he easily defeat our 'Hunter'? ”
"You must know that the establishment of the name 'Hunter' has always been aimed at two targets, one is a Transformer like Shocking Sky, and the other is Wen Ming."
While the two were talking, the others had already arrived at the secret base.
They have watched the demonstration of the laboratory model, and today they need to watch the demonstration of the production model, and they are now confident based on their trust in the technology of the Amazing Breakthrough.
When the personnel arrived, the display began, but Shockbreaker and Barricade did not participate, because after explaining the complete technology of making the 'Hunter', the two Decepticons were restricted from their freedom.
Asylum?
Hehe.
The attitude of the delegates at the round table towards the Decepticons is obvious, that is, to squeeze out the technology they have, but what is the attitude of the Decepticons towards Britain and its allies?
"Hehe, they should have started the demonstration of the 'Hunter' production model by now." In a warehouse, looking at the heavily armed British special operations soldiers on the periphery, as well as all kinds of modern weapons, he said with a smile: "I just don't know if they will be satisfied with the surprise we gave them." ”
