"Dear President Francis...... Based on your request, we have put together a list of information about what was once in Marvin. A list of scientists who have been in contact with the Society of Seven during the Greg era, and we understand your decision to have a secret review of the Allied Academy of Sciences, but we also hope that this will not affect our cooperation in the scientific community, and that it will not lead to a new purge of the scientific community......"

- The new chief scribe of the cavalry, Edwin. Reagan's secret letter to the President of the League.

***

October 16, 2180, Montreal, North America, a secret laboratory of the Rohms Group.

Codename "True Justice".

A huge gyroplane slowly landed on the tarmac in the pouring rain, and the Rommens mercenary wearing an exoskeleton stepped forward, and the moment the door of the gyroplane was pulled open from the inside, a wide umbrella was propped up, covering the man who stepped down from the plane.

"Chairman."

"No courtesy."

Dressed in a white suit, Xia Xun stepped off the plane, the former chairman of the Romons Group, who even resigned as chairman after serving as national security adviser, but everyone knew that he was in fact the de facto head of the second military-industrial complex of the alliance.

Two years ago, when the Alliance's large-scale counteroffensive codenamed "Free Earth" began, there were many voices in Congress calling for a single Cronos company, and some lawmakers even cited the examples of the Wall Street Incident, the trigger of the American Civil War, and the Dallas Petroleum Institute, comparing Cronos to it.

Under such a wind direction, former President Harold had to consider the problem of making a big deal even if he wanted to protect Kronos, so President Harold chose to support another company, that is, the "Romens" group headed by his trusted national security adviser. On the other hand, Kronos itself understands that it has made many parliamentarians jealous as the largest military-industrial complex in the Alliance, so it is happy to resell some of its cutting-edge scientific research units to the Rohmens Group, which is now more focused on practical industries.

This choice came as a surprise to many who were going to see the joke, and according to them, Kronos could abandon its huge production division. It will not abandon cutting-edge scientific research institutions as core competencies, but the board of directors has done so, and apart from silencing the vast majority of lawmakers with such a choice, it has not brought about the expected wave of unemployment.

Kronos's military establishment has also been massively downsized, many of the black operations are now taken over by Rohms, and only the intelligence services were preserved until President Harold left office, but the Confederate Special Investigations can visit the database of the Cronos intelligence agency at any time, and the CBI can conduct raids on Cronos's intelligence agencies - although they have not done so.

After this series of sacrifices, Kronos finally avoided the criticism of the parliamentarians. There is even a hint of taking a back seat, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, and Kronos is still responsible for outsourcing a large part of the Allied military's work, from the manufacture of automatic weapons to the construction of large shelters, and no one will underestimate this once monolithic military-industrial complex.

However, these are not things that Xia Xun needs to worry about, Xia Xun and his Romens company have never considered Kronos as a real opponent - Rohmus company has been a military-industrial complex independently developed by relying on the space force from the beginning, and Kronos company is about 45% of the production tasks of the alliance's army, navy and air force, while 70% of the needs of the space force need to be met by Rohms company.

The arrogant Space Army never bothered to use the same model of equipment as the mud-legged men on the ground.

Therefore, the real customer of Rohmers was originally the Space Army. And Kronos does not conflict, due to the long-term cooperation with the Space Force. Rommens are in no way inferior to Kronos in terms of high-end technology, on the contrary, they are much more closely connected with the Confederate Academy of Sciences than Kronos.

And for Hahoon, and the mistress of Icarus behind him, productivity is not something they care about, they only care about one thing.

That is what can directly turn the tide of the situation at the strategic level.

In the history of mankind. This has only happened once, with the atomic bomb exploded on the Japanese archipelago in 1945, and nuclear weapons have maintained their status as the ultimate weapon of strategic destruction for the past few hundred years, but this status has deteriorated with missile defense systems and laser interception systems - nuclear weapons are not just something that can be detonated casually, and initiating a fission or fusion reaction is an extremely complex process. Once intercepted, nuclear weapons are nothing more than a piece of iron.

And since the League has always maintained an advantage over the ACA, no president has been as concerned about the development of such strategic weapons as the current Francis.

This could be a good thing or a bad thing, the first female president of the League wanted too much to make the ACA surrender completely, but couldn't bear the pressure of a massive number of casualties and a long war, like Roosevelt in 1945, if two bombs could end the war and make Japan's 100 million jade shatters a joke, she would definitely try it.

Xia Xun raised his head, looked at the real yàn building in front of him through the rain curtain, then nodded, took a step, stepped on the puddle on the ground with white leather shoes, and walked towards the building in front.

"Mr. National Security Advisor, it looks like you've received my letter."

Xia Xun walked directly to the deepest part of the underground of the research institute, and in the core room, he saw the black-haired man with glasses.

"I received it, but it's not the same as what you told me before," Xia Xun didn't say much polite to the young man in front of him, "You know, it's very troublesome to do it in a place like MIT." ”

"You can take a look at our earliest memorandum of cooperation." The black-haired young man raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, "I stated earlier that this is a possibility, you should know Professor Boken better than I do, he is the kind of old pedant who is bound by morality and responsibility, this situation can be said to be expected. ”

"Do you have to be violent?" Xia Xun frowned, "It's troublesome to deal with. ”

"That's what you need to decide, it's all your plan. I'm just suggesting a possibility. The young man hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, "However, if you want me, the artificial intelligence master Dou Lawson. Boken, and Helis. Ivanova had the opportunity to complete this program together. I'm afraid it's just this once, and Boken will definitely not hand over the results of his research to the government through formal channels, and he already feels the danger. ”

"In addition, I don't think I need to answer this question about the help of this set of programs for the real yàn body, you can ask the other people in the real yàn room." The black-haired and glasses-capped youth still had a smile that wasn't salty, "Or maybe you can wait another three or five years." ”

"Well, if I get my hands on his research, I hope you have no other reason to postpone the schedule." Xia Xun was silent for a moment. Then he spoke, "Before the end of next year, I want to see the actual combat number." ”

"No problem." The young man in glasses nodded, "However, I have one more thing to warn you of, due to Dr. Boken's carelessness, we are not the only ones who are eyeing his research results now. ”

"Understood. I'll be prepared. Xia Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, "I hope you are too." ”

"As you wish."

The young man in glasses bowed. The smile grew more and more eerie.

On the same day local time, the former capital of Indonesia, ACA control zhì district, Jakarta.

Marvin. Greg stood at the map table, in fact, he had some premonition that he was about to become the center of the storm.

The Indian offensive of the Allies proceeded very smoothly. The Indian front was on the verge of collapse, and India would have been completely liberated long ago had it not been for the alliance that had drawn a large number of the South Asian Front's vital forces to support the Balkan theater.

Icarus's idea is solid, even though the alliance has made a breakthrough in most areas, but because the ACA is still blockading the Strait of Malacca with submarines. As a result, it is difficult to support a direct supply line to the Indian Ocean by land transport that can only be transported through Guò across the Himalayas. Therefore, the Asian Front adjusted its strategy, first throwing its forces into the islands and dense forests of Southeast Asia, as long as the ACA's submarine supply ports were completely eliminated, then India would naturally be in the pockets of the alliance.

So the islands of Southeast Asia, which have been relatively calm, are no longer safe, and just last week, the alliance liberated Hat Yai, the last ACA-controlled city in southern Thailand, where the vanguard had crossed Malaysia's border and headed for Singapore.

In the short term, as long as Singapore is liberated and the Strait of Malacca is firmly controlled, then the possibility of the alliance continuing to advance southward is relatively small -- after all, the ACA in Southeast Asia has been in operation for decades, unlike Thailand and Singapore, which have only controlled the Strait for more than 20 years, and on the other hand, the further south it goes, the more it will face pressure from the ACA Navy.

But sooner or later, the alliance would have to go straight south after liberating all of India, lifting the siege of Australia, which had been blockaded for half a century, so the ACA dignitaries in Jakarta were already preparing to move, although they had not yet fled on a large scale as Spain.

It's just that Marven doesn't care about this, at this moment, he cares about Cambridge, Massachusetts, an American city on the other side of the world.

"Has the intelligence been confirmed?"

Marven looked up at a man with his hands behind his back in front of the map table, one of his henchmen, his henchmen he had brought out from Iceland.

Although Marven's subordinates have been by his side in the past two years, there are more or less centrifugal and losses, and there are not many people that Marven can trust.

Or, Marven never trusted anyone, including his former partner in the depths of the Atlantic, although he still held a part of the hidden authority of the Great Library as his life talisman, but he didn't believe that Char really cared about the number of some of the Great Library that he had hidden.

"Rosen. Professor Boken's research has been confirmed, but at the same time, we have found that he may have been aware of the purpose of the Rohms Group, so we had to act ahead to prevent him from destroying the key figures. The man behind his hands nodded and spoke, "If Your Excellency approves it, then we can start acting at any time." ”

"The old pedant...... I don't understand the true meaning of science at all, and the fools of the Romans Group don't realize the value of this thing at all......" Marven hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly, "Han Fei...... Boken ...... Helis, I didn't put these three genius minds together for any kind of 'artificial intelligence'! ”

"But will the princess be a threat?"

"No, we'll do it on the night of October 22." The man shook his head, "That night, there will be a prom of graduates, and everyone will be in the Great Hall, and Professor Boken is no exception, we just need to bring him out, that Ivanova won't come with her, and it will be too late for her to find out." ”

"Besides," the knight man added, "I found an interesting undercover spy in the ACA's Eyes of Unity file, who used to be Clark. Ethan, I'll send someone to contact him and ask him to find a way to hold Helis back then, and he can also deliberately leak some rumors to increase Helis's trust in him. ”

"Very well, then do it." Marven closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment, and then gave an order, "Be sure to get all the relevant research data." ”

"There is no problem, our fake identities are all ready, the security forces in the city of Cambridge are weak, and there is no TF present." The man confidently replied, "Leave it to us." ”

"Hmm."

Marven heard the answer, did not hesitate, and nodded slowly, "Don't forget, don't let Boken leave alive." ”

"That's nature." The man smiled coldly. (To be continued......)
