CHAPTER XLIX. B83
8 mechas, it sounds very stylish, but in fact, only 6 mechas have combat capabilities, according to the basic method of 1 to 1, they can deal with the attack of up to 6 open chrysanthemum beasts, and if the opposite is a fifth-level open chrysanthemum beast, this ratio will be further expanded, becoming 2:1 or larger.
In the movie, the Eureka Raiders faced the fifth-level Kaiju Beast "Poisonous Woman", almost being pressed and beaten, and finally detonated a nuclear bomb with a TNT equivalent of 1.2 million tons, but only killed the fourth-level Kaiju Beast, and the poisonous woman still maintained the strength of the first battle, so you can imagine how tenacious the vitality of the fifth-level Kaiju Beast is.
Pantcoster looked at the pilot in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, what I want to say is that this battle is about the entire human race, you may be sacrificed at any time, you must be mentally prepared." ”
Sacrifice, this heavy word made everyone present breathe a lot quieter, although after becoming a mecha pilot, everyone knew that their heads were hanging on their belts, but it was still a little depressing to pick it out directly.
"That's right, it's a life-and-death battle."
Pantcoster's voice was very stern and serious: "The tragedy of this battle will definitely exceed what you and I think, I declare in advance that if you plan to quit, you can leave now, and once the battle starts, you are not allowed to quit, otherwise I will treat a few as deserters and shoot them." ”
"Of course, if you die, your family will receive a pension, the governments will support them until retirement, and the government will pay for your children's education until they reach the age of 18. Of course, I hope you come back alive. ”
The cold and unsharp words made everyone recognize the tragic Cheng dù this time.
Since the PPDC is still a military organization. Each of them still has a military rank on his shoulder, so it must be governed according to the military regulations of the army, and the shooting of deserters has been written in the regulations. Especially the mecha pilots who rushed to the front line.
Has anyone quit? Everyone glanced at each other, and they all saw the resolute look in each other's eyes, and there was no one.
"Good."
Pantcoster was obviously satisfied with everyone's expression, clapped his palms and continued to talk about the attack plan this time.
Of the six mechs, only the "Dangerous Wanderer" and the "Iron Fist" are nuclear, with the Eureka Raider carrying a 2,400-pound thermonuclear bomb. The remaining three mechs, "Tempest Crimson", "Chernoalpha", and "Puma", are responsible for covering them, making sure to ensure the safety of the nuclear bomb before it blows up the gap. ”
Panthcoster specifically mentions that Fist of Steel and the Dangerous Wanderer are nuclear-powered, and everyone understands what that means.
Once the Eureka Raiders failed to drop a nuclear bomb. Then the two mechas, which are active nuclear weapons, have to personally top up and detonate themselves, of course, this is not to let Zhang Yang and Beckett send them to death, both mecha have emergency escape pods. And in the movie, Beckett and Asako did survive by relying on the escape pod.
The three Liu brothers patted Zhang Yang's shoulder to express sympathy. Except for Steelfist and Dangerous Wanderer, the other four mechs are all regular power, and because of this, the task of protecting Eureka Raider, Dangerous Wanderer, and Steelfist Attack Gap also falls on the other three regular power mechs.
Everyone had already prepared for these tasks, and they were not too surprised at the moment.
The atmosphere in the office is a bit strict. It looked like a parting between life and death, and Pantcoster finished his assignment. And they disbanded the people.
"Before the next battle starts, you still have some time, seize the time to rest, once the war starts, there will be no chance, let's disband first."
"Yes, sir."
It wasn't until everyone left the office in twos and dolds that Panthcoster looked at the closed door and glanced at Heck, everyone knew that the battle had passed, and they didn't know how many people would survive.
"Heck, it's been nine years since we last fought side by side, right?"
"9 years and 3 months." Heck shrugged his shoulders, as the pilot of the Eureka Raiders, his appearance was naturally indispensable for this mission.
Unlike in the plot, his arm was not broken during the battle, so Pantcoster did not take his place, and the task of dropping a thermonuclear bomb still fell on his shoulders.
As a veteran pilot, the rich combat experience coupled with the fastest speed of the Eureka Raider is undoubtedly the most suitable for assault, of course, the nuclear energy of the Steel Fist and the Ranger mecha is stored as a reserve army, and once the attack fails, it must stand up and sacrifice generously.
The two old pilots who came together from the first generation of mecha began to recall the previous story, and Zhang Yang and the others returned to their bedrooms after leaving the office, ready to replenish their spirits.
Lying on the bed, through the thick metal cement walls, you can still faintly hear the faint sound outside, the military base is busy most of the time, the noise is unavoidable, but it does not affect the rest.
Looking at the roof overhead, Zhang Yang speculated on the time when the next wave of attacks would come, in the movie it was shortly after this attack, the tail rat attacked Hong Kong at night, and the second wave of attacks arrived at about dawn, and the wanderers and raiders joined the battle, and it was now 9 o'clock in the evening, and if it was early in the morning, there would be a few hours of rest.
Thinking about some things, Zhang Yang quickly fell asleep, while others fell asleep, some lay on the bed with their eyes open, and some simply walked around, and it took a long time before they fell asleep slowly.
Without full spirit, piloting the mecha will weaken his own strength first.
Zhang Yang was awakened in his sleep.
"Bell bell bell—"
The piercing alarm bell rang suddenly, Zhang Yang immediately opened his eyes, his head that had just woken up was still a little blank, and then Zhang Yang saw the virtual screen on the wall next to him, flashing with a dazzling red light.
"There is a mission!"
Zhang Yang turned over and clicked on the emergency mission, which showed that there were two level 4 chrysanthemum beasts that had passed through the gap, and all the mecha pilots immediately rushed to the control center to gather.
"Whew."
Exhaling, Zhang Yang hurriedly washed his face with cold water, and then knocked on Thomas's door, only to find several other driver candidates standing inside the door.
"You guys—" Zhang Yang was a little strange.
"We know this battle is dangerous, so we're here to cheer you on."
The little beauty Kayla raised her head and smiled at Zhang Yang and Thomas.
The two of them glanced at each other, everyone understood the meaning of this, as the driver selected in the same period, although the friendship between them is not profound, but it is also a good friend, this mission is too difficult, refueling actually has the intention of seeing the last side, no one knows if this is the last time to meet.
Bidding farewell to everyone, by the time Zhang Yang and Thomas arrived at the control center, the other drivers had already arrived, and when they saw the two coming, everyone gave way and let the two inside.
"There are a total of two Kaiju beasts, both of them are level 4, they are not attacking anywhere, but are constantly circling in the gap, we suspect that this is the vanguard of the other party."
Cai Tiantong analyzed the situation of the battle, but Zhang Yang frowned, why did two come out?
At the beginning of the movie, there were also two fourth-level chrysanthemum beasts, and then the appearance of the fifth-level chrysanthemum beast poisonous woman, but at the moment, these two guys seem to be cannon fodder sent by the chrysanthemum people to open the way, and the "poisonous woman" and other attacking troops that everyone is waiting for have never refused to come out.
"General, what should I do? Do you want to make a nail out of the machine? ”
Everyone's eyes were on Pantcoster, and Zhang Yang also wanted to see how this black general could solve it.
"Nope."
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Pantcoster did not immediately send out the mecha, but after thinking about it, he suddenly spoke.
"Tiantong, help me contact the Pentagon, I need their help."
Although the technicians present were a little confused, they still quickly carried out the order, and soon, the soldiers in charge of guarding the door drove out the staff with low authority or irrelevant information, and everyone knew that what was going on was an important secret.
And Zhang Yang was also guessing what method the general planned to use, but he saw Pantcoster and directly talked to a white four-star general.
"General Hans, I need a nuclear bomb, at least 1 million tons of yield, to attack the Kaiju beast near the gap, and it needs to be detonated in deep water."
The understatement made everyone present hold their breath.
"Have you thought about it?"
The general Hans did not refuse, but only asked rhetorically, it seems that there has been a secret agreement between the two sides for a long time, otherwise it is impossible to solve the sensitive topic of nuclear weapons so quickly.
"That's right, sending mechs in the current situation will only increase the attrition, and it is more convenient to use nuclear bombs."
Confirmed by Pantcoster, General Hans, who was in the Pentagon, quickly consulted with several generals around him, and then passed the resolution as quickly as possible.
"I can give you a B83 warhead, 1.2 million tons of yield (variable yield nuclear bomb, maximum yield of 1.2 million tons, the strongest nuclear warhead in service in the United States, other super nuclear bombs because they are too powerful and not suitable for modern warfare, they have long been decommissioned or destroyed) The depth of underwater detonation is up to you, and we will release the link authority to you later, and send the attack coordinates over."
These things belong to the technicians present, and the two sides lock the coordinates and attack parameters and location, and Zhang Yang and others can only stare dryly at these things, and no one thought that just a few words would determine the ownership of a nuclear warhead.
That's 1.2 million tons!
The one carried by the Eureka raiders was only 1.2 million tons equivalent, and if this one continued, these two fourth-level chrysanthemum beasts would probably have to ascend to heaven on the spot. (To be continued......)
