0207 War does not mean only steel and gunsmoke
"I'm afraid they all think that the Star Alliance is so high-profile and arrogant, but it's just like their UNOC, asking for a price in the sky."
On the special plane, Xia Ming said with a smile, and You Kuang nodded: "Yes, before I left, the UNOC representatives of several countries said that they were ready to support the Star Federation to have equal rights and interests with the UNOC in terms of stargate, on the condition that they give up interfering in Japan's internal affairs." ”
"Internal affairs?" Xia Ming said disapprovingly: "The satellites are running in the sky, and the electromagnetic waves are drilling all over the ground, and I still want to close the door and ride on the heads of the people to live my own little life......"
You Kuang smiled bitterly, his boss always poked people in the dead hole as soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Ming waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, you won't say this in front of outsiders." ”
Lou Xinghai's dialogue request lit up in the field of vision, and after it was connected, Lou Xinghai said: "It has been deployed one after another, and the United States and Huaxia have noticed it, but we have not installed a focusing device, and the power supply is also commercial-grade, they just think that we want to build another positioning system." ”
Xia Ming nodded, and then said to You Kuang, who was still a little uneasy: "But we are not politicians, we are scientists, scientists will only say that one plus one equals two, they don't believe it, just prove it to them." ”
You Kuang sighed: "Is it really going to be a war? ”
"War does not mean that there is only steel and gunsmoke," Xia Ming looked out of the porthole, the special plane had already entered Japan's airspace, and it was accompanied by two American F22 fighter planes, and the US government was obviously afraid that the Japanese would do any more tricks, and the escort was not handed over to the Japanese fighters.
However, the two fighters on the right are Starlink's own, of course, for the United States and China, this kind of plane made by Starlink is not a fighter at all.
Xia Ming's acquisition of Pais Aircraft, which has been renamed Magic Dragon, a company with only experience in designing and manufacturing business jets and junior jet trainers, moved to Antania and completed two projects.
One is the Earth Rail Transit Boat, and it is jointly designed with Kunpeng Company, after all, the Magic Dragon Company can't handle the ion engine thing.
The other is the escort "Atmospheric General Service Vehicle", nicknamed the Magic Dragon G23. This kind of aircraft, which has a maximum speed of only Mach 1.2 per hour, an altitude limit of less than 20,000 meters, and is not much stronger than a business jet, can not only dominate the air, but also intercept, bomb and provide close support, and even carry cargo, which is a joke in the eyes of the big powers.
A pair of straight and long wings with two engines on the front fuselage, and another engine on the tail, the fuselage is fat and short, almost a reduced version of Xia Ming's special plane. If it weren't for the slight square nose fuselage, the two crew seats in series, and the paint was also a military gray-black tone, I wouldn't have seen anything to do with the fighter at all.
Presumably, the F22 pilots who flew with these two magic dragons have already complained all the way.
Xia Ming is also very dissatisfied with the magic dragon G23, which is also the fact that Starlink has no jet engine technology accumulation at all, and only slightly changed the old-fashioned jet engine and installed three pots. When all aspects of technology mature, each country will see what is called leapfrog technological change.
However, even the current magic dragon is not something that F22 can make fun of casually, if it reaches that point, the magic dragon has to exert its might, there will be times when the pilot of F22 can't laugh.
In the operations center of the Starlink Special Service Academy, Lao Hong was bent on his back, pacing back and forth, and he couldn't tell that one leg was a prosthetic at all.
"From now on, the six of you squads will go into closed training to get used to the new power armor."
Wu Kang and others are overjoyed, the legendary "defenders" have already been dealt with?
The sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the door, and after a while, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was an iron-gray power armor, and when they saw the shape, the team members were in an uproar, is this still power armor? It's clearly a mecha!
The armor as a whole is still human-shaped, but the slightly lowered helmet, thick limbs, and torso all show a noticeable difference from the power armor.
This power armor isn't clumsy, it's just more rugged and powerful than the previous model, and it's full of sci-fi and violent aesthetics. In particular, the shape of the barrel helmet on the head, the array of bee eyes arranged on it, and the flickering red light made people feel particularly evil.
With a dead weight of 120 kg, it can resist 20mm armor-piercing shells and medium-caliber grenades, and can move at a speed of up to 40 kilometers on the ground, and can jump over 10-meter obstacles and jump 5 meters high. The duration of high-intensity exercise is one and a half hours, and according to the standard carrying capacity of the fuel cell, the battery can last for 6 hours.
In addition to these external indicators, the circuits and chips inside the "Defender" are all optoelectronic architecture, and the defense against EMP shocks is extremely high. Moreover, it is a three-proof closed design, and the life-sustaining system can be matched with a universal cabin spacesuit, and the addition of a jetpack has space combat capabilities.
This mecha came to everyone, did a variety of tactical moves, and finally came to a one-arm support in place to rotate in a circle, and the team members couldn't help but applaud warmly. Wu Kang and the others slapped their palms while passing on their eyes, there must be an acquaintance in the mecha.
After the demonstration, the mecha stood still, its back bounced off in several pieces, and a sassy girl wearing a tight combat uniform and shaving short hair jumped out.
"Stand!"
"Major Su!"
Lao Hong is known for being stern in the secret service, and Su Yu is the most kind.
"This is your new companion, from now on, apart from sleeping, your task is to get acquainted with it, master it, and become one with it!"
"Don't think that it's only different from the previous power armor in terms of performance indicators, you just saw it, I left the mecha right away, what does that mean?"
Su Yu mentioned this, and Mina's eyes widened first: "Neural synchronization!?" ”
The defender is a power armor that can be connected by nerves and fully synchronized with the body!?
The team members were in an uproar again, the power armor they used before was still synchronized by muscles and intelligence, although they had already done neuronal proliferation surgery, but for the sake of safety, it was only limited to information exchange, and did not involve the nervous system of the docking body.
Su Yu nodded: "The defender's control system will be connected to your neuron interface, and several operation modes can be switched freely. Induction is faster and more sensitive than before, almost completely synchronized, and you will need to get used to it. ”
Of course, looking at Su Yu's demonstration just now, you know that it is completely different from the previous power armor.
Wang Tang frowned and said, "Is this a preparation for war?" Are we really going to fight Japan? ”
"The first question, we are always ready for war, the second question, if necessary, yes, but ......"
Su Yu looked at the team members who all looked a little complicated, shook his head and said, "We will not raise the butcher knife to the same kind, believe in the Star Alliance, believe in Xiao Xia." ”
Everyone nodded slightly, seriously, if you really want to start a war with Japan, let's not talk about what they can do, the purpose of the creation of the Star Alliance Special Service is to protect mankind and return to the earth to fight the civil war, and many people will always have some resistance in their hearts.
"We are short of manpower, the establishment will be temporarily adjusted, each person commands three combat robots, organized into a group, and your data terminal will be replaced with a new model."
After Su Yu finished speaking, he looked at Natsume Zigui and the others in the queue: "The action may involve important members of the Japanese government and enterprises, and you must avoid it." ”
"It's not fair!" Natsume Zigui stood up dissatisfied: "We hate these people more than anyone present!" ”
Su Yu said calmly: "The Starlink special service must be detached from the country, and will not be negative because of love, nor positive because of hate. Maybe you can do it in the future, but now, those of you who are directly related to it, you can't do it yet. ”
Natsume Zigui and the other two bowed their heads helplessly, they couldn't refute this.
Okinawa, Futenma U.S. Marine Corps Base, Xia Ming wore a jumper and a baseball cap, and together with You Kuang, accompanied by the special services led by Hou Yunting and Liu Zhen, entered the conference center converted from a thermostatic hangar.
To be honest, the Americans were also afraid of Japan and took great pains at this meeting.
The Japanese Prime Minister invited Xia Ming and UNOC representatives to Japan for talks, which was indeed a small trick, but he didn't expect Xia Ming to agree so simply.
If you really want Xia Ming to go to the Japanese mainland, the Americans can't trust the Japanese government at all, and Xia Ming's security has become a big problem. Whether the Japanese government and the chaebols manipulating the government will make petty moves is one thing, and we must also beware of what kind of chaos those radical right-wingers will make.
Changing the meeting location to a U.S. military base would give you the best of both worlds. The Japanese prime minister's "invitation" was nominally achieved, and Xia Ming's security problem was resolved.
However, it is not without troubles, hundreds of protesters have been blocked outside the Futenma base, accusing Xia Ming of coming to Japan for revenge as a Chinese and coming to Japan to find fault with him unreasonably.
At the entrance of the conference center were unarmed U.S. soldiers, and there was a terahertz scanning door, Xia Ming glanced at the trademark, yo, it's still his own thing.
Crossing the scanning door, Xia Ming stopped, he knew something was going to happen.
Sure enough, the female soldier staring at the scanner looked at her with a puzzled face, and a Marine Major politely stretched out his hand to stop Xia Ming, and then asked the female soldier: "What's the matter?" ”
"You'll have to see for yourself," the female soldier moved out of her seat, and the major froze as he saw it.
Then he remembered something, leaned over to Xia Ming's side, looked left and right, and even raised his hand, wanting to pinch Xia Ming's face.
Hou Yunting raised her arms expressionlessly to block his hand, and Xia Ming smiled: "I am a real person, not a robot." ”
Xia Ming has a machine stand-in that is already known to the world, when he made a big fuss in the United States Museum, so that the President of the United States could not get off the stage, and even had to kill two FBIs who were spies who were actually patriots, including Xia Ming's use of robot stand-ins.
Now on the terahertz scanner, Xia Ming's image is a cloud of fog, how can this be explained!?
The major was still wondering, Xia Ming turned his head sideways and opened his mouth wide, and with a sigh, he gave him a mouthful of white teeth and oral exposure: "It is most convenient to find a dentist to do verification, as for why this is the case, you have to ask Mutant Borg." ”
The major gave a military salute, both apologetic and respectful, as well as helpless. There is really a robot that does the same oral and respiratory breathing as a real person, and he can only admit it, so he can't drag Xia Ming to the operating table to dissect it.
An American two-star general came over and stretched out his hand to Xia Ming: "Admiral Cox used to be my superior, and I am very grateful for your heroic battle in the Star Gate, as well as the sacrifice of Admiral Cox, and all the officers and soldiers of Younas, it is you who have defended mankind." ”
Xia Ming sensed the general's sincerity, shook hands with him, and shook it vigorously: "I came here for the same purpose." ”
"I hope so", the general, who should be the commander of the base, sighed a little. Judging by the specifications of this meeting, the commander of the Futenma base could not be on the stage at all, and could only be a good servant in front of the horse. It looked like he had something to say, but he couldn't open his mouth for a while.
The temporary venue was very luxurious, and as soon as Xia Ming stepped on the carpet, the Japanese prime minister, who was like a kind and kind old grandfather, greeted him, bowed deeply, and stretched out his hand.
Xia Ming was not arrogant enough to slap his face here, shook hands with the other party, and then shook hands with the representatives of the UNOC countries behind him, and when he arrived in Huaxia, it was actually Xing Tianmin.
"You're finally standing in front of me," Xia Ming whispered with a smile.
"It's not easy", Xing Tianmin was extremely emotional, when he was used as a gun by Yang Shengtang, the status of the two was still different, he was in the sky, and Xia Ming was on the ground. Now, four or five years later, he is actually proud to finally be able to stand in front of Xia Ming, and he still relies on Xia Ming's support all the way.
"Then you'll give me a discount later," Xia Ming joked.
Xing Tianmin smiled bitterly: "It's my personal words, surrender unconditionally, but the country won't do it." ”
Xia Ming patted his arm: "Then I'll wait for you to be the number one." ”
"Hey, even if I'm the number one, if I sit in that position, I have to be responsible for that position", Xing Tianmin's heart jumped, but he coped with it.
"At least you can understand my thoughts and understand the situation I am facing."
Xia Ming pouted at Japanese Prime Minister Nunu: "It won't be like him, knowing that he is behind the blame, he has to rack his brains to put on a good posture." ”
Xing Tianmin didn't quite understand Xia Ming's self-confidence: "I think, the current situation, aren't you very optimistic?" ”
"Wait and see", there are still many people waiting, and Xia Ming is not good to say more to him.
Representatives of all UNOC member states, including the UN secretary-general, were present, apparently ready to negotiate a package solution with Xia Ming here.
Xia Ming was shocked when he opened his mouth: "Mr. Prime Minister, what is your official response to the four-point statement of our Star Alliance?" Here, I think you still have a chance to adjust. ”
The Japanese prime minister looked at everyone, especially the American representative, and the other party shook his head, only then did he be convinced that Xia Ming and the United States had not reached a private agreement, and said tremblingly: "China's attitude is as always, the incident is a regrettable accident, the Japanese government will apologize to Starlink, and is willing to discuss the issue of compensation." However, the investigation team was sent by the UNOC, and Japan will not accept the unilateral investigation of Starlink. ”
"As for the issue of trade ban and EI research, this is Japan's internal affair, and Starlink, as an international organization, has no right to interfere."
The American representative was about to say something, but Xia Ming nodded and said: "I have received Japan's response, which is clear and correct, so there is no need to talk about this matter." ”
He glanced at everyone: "Let's talk about the rights and interests in the Star Gate." ”
Hey, Xia Ming just gave up?
The delegates were puzzled, and Xia Ming said: "However, I request that the Japanese delegates be invited out of the venue first, and according to my statement, as long as Japan participates in the UNOC meeting, we will not approve it." ”
Well? This is strong to come!?
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that you came here to listen to the Japanese Prime Minister say no?
It is impossible for the Japanese representative to leave, but Xia Ming also claimed that the UNOC resolution with Japan's participation will not be accepted, this is because the ass is not hot, and many people have not said a word, and they are about to end?
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear," Xia Ming added: "My four-point statement will take effect immediately after the Japanese Prime Minister rejects it. ”
What? Declaring war on Japan?
The Secretary-General hurriedly said: "Regarding the matter of the investigation team, Starlink is an observer of the UNOC and should join, Mr. Prime Minister?" ”
He looked at the Japanese Prime Minister, the old man gasped, shook his lips for a while, and said in a low voice: "We approve." ”
Although Xia Ming and the Star Alliance now seem to have neither a large army nor a nuclear bomb, war does not necessarily depend on these two things. Let's just say that the earth orbit cargo transfer system mastered by Starlink has calculated the location, and throwing a bunch of things with a protective layer that can't be burned down is enough for Japan to drink a pot.
It was not worth taking such a big risk to fight Xia Ming on the issue of the investigation team, and the Japanese prime minister had no choice but to admit it.
"So ......"
After solving this problem, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the secretary general looked at Xia Ming, Xia Ming shook his head: "The last three points, the Japanese government has not yet accepted them." ”
It's going to be untenable......
The U.S. representative thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "Mr. Xia, your Starlink has been deploying satellites in orbit for the past few days, is that a new weapon?" ”
The faces of everyone looking at Xia Ming changed again, and most of them were dissatisfied. Back then, you cleaned the earth's orbit, which was considered revenge, and it was to remind everyone that there was danger on the other side of the stargate, and everyone recognized it.
Now that you have put on a tough posture for an attempted assassination, do you really want to rely on force to blackmail the entire human race?
Xia Ming spread his hands and said: "These satellites have nothing to do with my four-point statement, okay, just here to make a briefing to everyone." ”
He looked at the representatives who looked angry or confused, and said to himself, General. (To be continued.) )
