August 5th.

Deutsche base in the Aegean Sea.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was filled with a high concentration of disinfectant.

Xu Fei wore the highest level of protective clothing, wearing gas masks, medical gloves, etc., and walked to the iron freezer in North America that was ready to be handed over.

The engineer held up his umbrella, and the North American GI opened the tin lid.

The next moment, a skinny and bony creature with bulging bones and joints, an incomparably large head, deep-set eye sockets, and no nose appeared in front of him, like a legendary alien.

Raymond said, "Actually, we don't know if it's alive or not. ”

“……”

"Thirty years ago, due to an operation error, the temperature in the cabin reached 16C, the oxygen content was reduced to 5%, it woke up once, but it was difficult to communicate, and then we added a high-concentration nutrient solution to it, and changed it every other week, but unfortunately in the last twenty years, it has never woken up."

Xu Fei was slightly stunned, "Aliens also use nutrient solution?" ”

"I don't understand, it's been the same practice for almost three decades."

"What about the shards?"

"Here." A North American GI removes a heavy suitcase from his back, and when he opens it, he reveals two black stones with a pitted surface.

At this moment, the detection device on the chest of the German personnel transmitted the alarm to the wearer through the headset.

[Radiation dose 450 msv.] ］

[Radiation dose: 870 msv.] ］

[Radiation dose: 1350 msv.] ］

Xu Fei saw that the radiation level was rising higher and higher, and motioned to the North American soldier, who was wearing nothing, to close the lid, and then looked at Raymond, "This is a meteorite?" ”

"NASA said that the essence should be that it was a flying machine, which disintegrated due to impact, and the debris drilled into the atmosphere at hypersonic speed, which burned violently, and then after an unknown number of years of oxidation and corrosion, it became like this."

Xu Fei nodded and didn't ask any more.

Because the base suggests that this is an alloy composed of six layers of radioactive heavy elements, which cannot be analyzed by current technology.

Not being able to parse means it's worth researching.

And, as for whether North America has aliens, in addition to the expansion film, the intelligence system has also made a lot of speculation, and most of them tend to have.

Because when we celebrate Lafayette's birthday, Western scientists have already traveled all over the world, picked up the first treasures, and even established scientific research stations at the poles.

It's like the online version of the Reloaded Mechanic, where the map is updated every Monday morning at 8 a.m., and whoever goes online first picks up the ownerless treasure on the map first.

The house is online on the weekend, and there is a yarn on the map.

Therefore, it is necessary to acknowledge the gap between the two sides, recognize our own shortcomings, and then catch up.

After the GI handed over the box to his staff.

Xu Fei waved his hand into the distance, "Lift our alien squid up." ”

Before the words fell, 50 engineers pushed a huge sand table 3 meters wide, 10 meters long, and 2 meters high.

The sand table is like an underwater world, covered with all kinds of gorgeous coral agate, like the Dragon Palace in Journey to the West.

At this moment, a small squid, wearing a light element alloy crown that was randomly mixed with the basic production line, and holding a staff made of composite materials, was about to bury himself in the sea sand to sleep.

Perhaps sensing the movement, the squid shook its spirits and stood up, and with a gentle push of its other claws, its entire torso floated in the middle of the water, like a yellow half-blind finger teller.

Seeing this, Raymond's facial muscles trembled, "This is the mutant you are talking about, or an alien?" ”

"Don't underestimate it, it's the high priest of an alien civilization, it just came to us, it was seriously degraded in many ways due to the environment, but it can still be called a 'god' in human civilization."

Raymond clearly didn't believe it.

Xu Fei motioned for him to step aside and whispered, "It told me that the quarterfinals of next year's World Cup will be ...... Final Four...... Semifinal...... In the end, Enamel won the championship. ”

Although the 02 World Cup in the expansion film is a duel between Germany and Brazil, and Brazil finally won the championship, Zidane drank milk and his head was bald in advance, plus the country has a 98-year championship lineup, and Ronaldo is 37 years old, so it is not a problem for the country to win the championship again.

】

When Raymond heard this, he hurriedly took out a pen and paper and recorded it, "Is there anything else?" ”

"It said that there was a plane crashing into the building in North America in September, and I was not allowed to wander around the trade center."

Raymond froze, pretending to be casual, "What a joke!" ”

It also said that its hometown is in the constellation Centauri α C, next to star A and B, 4.2 light-years away, it was in a space activity, unfortunately hit by a meteorite, entered a dormant period, only came here, and when it woke up it was already the home star in 1999 AD, and it predicted that mankind will arrive at its home planet with the mother star in 2500 years. Of course, it took a long time for Debei to decipher this information. ”

Raymond doesn't believe in any ABC stars, and he doesn't believe that humans take their home planet to Centauri, but there was a plane crashing into a building in September......

On the one hand, he suspected that the news had leaked inside, and on the other hand, he was suspicious of the alien squid.

After Xu Fei finished speaking, Raymond made an OK gesture, "Okay, this transaction is complete, Xu, I need to talk to you." ”

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

Xu Fei asked the engineers to send the goods handed over from North America to the underground test base, and then turned around and went to the complex.

Raymond followed, quickly organizing the language.

The island on which the Debei base is located, formerly known as Yinya Island, has a total area of 136 square kilometers and is located at the junction of the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea.

The base is semi-public, that is, the whole world knows that the island is a military unit of northern Germany, but the island is not open to the public, and even a 12-nautical-mile radius is forbidden to outside ships to pass through.

At present, the base has two military airports, two military ports, two combat vehicle experimental areas, and three comprehensive military training camps, with a total strength of 16,000.

The German Iron Cross units include: 10 combat Kirovs, 50 Black Hawk rockets, 25 helicopter gunships, 30 Rhino tanks, 50 Grizzly tanks, 150 unmanned tanks, and 50,000 terrorist robots.

The units of the German Wehrmacht include: 30 Typhoon fighters, 15 Tornado combat trainers, 3 A-400M strategic transport aircraft, 2 A-300 tactical transport aircraft, 5 A-400M air tankers, 20 Leopard 2A4, 50 Weasel armored vehicles, and nearly 100 transport vehicles.

The facilities include simulators for training recruits, early warning radars for air defense, underwater sonar detection robots, V-series rocket launch systems, Javelin precision-guided missiles, fuel depots, ammunition depots......

Now that Director Xu is here, he will add 10 Kirovs, a command ship comparable to a small hangman, and five arsenal ships.

According to comprehensive calculations, although the overall strength of the German base in the Aegean Sea is not as good as the North American base group that blooms everywhere in the Mediterranean, it can serve as a springboard for the German base to radiate the war-torn areas of the Balkans and West Asia.

Just like the previous bombing of Hazara in northern Germany, the combat radius is as high as 4,200 kilometers.

With the help of the strategic analysis of the RAND Corporation, the North American military department smashed the plan of Debei to plot the Aynak open-pit copper mine, but Xu Fei brought the fleet to Debei's base in the Aegean Sea, which was still an unacceptable military deployment in North America.

Therefore, General Raymond, the Minister of Defense, in addition to being in charge of this transaction, will also convey his dissatisfaction to Foreman through Xu Fei, and the other is to go to the local chicken to divide the Balkans, which are finally chaotic but united.

Raymond pondered as he took off his protective suit, revealing the military uniform inside.

As soon as I entered the lobby of the complex, I was greeted by a bearded Yugoslav.

"Hello, General Raymond."

"Hello."

"I am the head of foreign affairs in Montenegro, and I protested against the blowing up of the Balkan oil pipeline in North America and demanded compensation of 300 million US dollars."

“？？？”

Raymond looked at the thin man who was half a head taller than him, almost two meters one, and wanted to beat the other party up, and then ask the other party if he knew who he was talking to.

When I looked up, I saw seven or eight Yugoslavs of the same height surrounding me, "General Raymond......"

Although Raymond is very capable of fighting, this is at the Debei base, and the ghost knows if it was Xu Fei's arrangement.

Moreover, the pipeline was indeed bombed by him, because the pipeline that extends from northern Germany to the Balkans has ice bear natural gas going southeast on one side, and crude oil from West Asia flowing to northern Europe on the other.

The two branches branched off along the way, forming a huge energy monopoly market, which is contrary to North America's plan to control Eastern Europe, nor is it in the interests of North America in the European region.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Raymond hurriedly retreated, "I'm sorry, I don't know about the pipeline." ”

Xu Fei waited in the locker room for a while, seeing that the Balkan heroes had a falling out with Raymond, but the Greek and local chickens were indifferent, and immediately walked in to end the assessment.

The South Union had just been bombed, and it hated and feared North America, but now that it has the backing of Germany and North America, it is not a problem to continue to oppose North America.

Greece is different from the local chicken, Greece is the hardcore of the European regional alliance, and it is also the main member of NATO, and the local chicken is the main force set up in North America to block the hairy bear from going south in the Black Sea, and the military ranking is even higher than that of Germany, second only to Wajima, ranking eighth in the world.

Therefore, Germany's attitude towards the Balkans is to support and form alliances.

The attitude towards Greece is to make friends, cooperate, lease the Aegean base, and make the other party a peacemaker in North America and Germany.

The attitude towards the native chicken is...... If Raymond goes to the local chicken this time, the local chicken will definitely betray the Balkan Business Alliance, and then it will be time for the Balkan heroes to appear.

Now that the arms race has begun in Western Europe, Eastern Europe will also be mobilized.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to build so many combat vehicles, so many fighters, so many warships, and so many strategic deployments.

"Ahem."

Xu Fei stepped into the hall, and the engineer behind him rushed forward, separating the two sides with a stronger body.

Raymond was worried that Xu Fei would talk to him about the fuel pipeline, which would affect the personal relationship between the two parties, so he did not express his dissatisfaction with today's encounter, and walked quickly to the nearest reception room with an expressionless face.

Xu Fei squinted at the local chicken, nodded to Greece, smiled at the Balkan heroes, took out a box of two cigars from his pocket, and walked into the reception room to throw them to Raymond.

"How about it, it's said to have been made by a Cuban master."

"Debei has been in contact with Cuba?"

"Old Lei, you have to understand, I'm just a part-time worker, in some things, I can't help myself, I took out the cigars made by Cuban masters, just to compensate for today's poor hospitality, you opened your mouth to ask me about the relationship between Germany and Cuba, this is to put things on the table, so I can't get off the stage, fortunately there are all my people around, otherwise Foreman knows, and he can't send me to the gallows?"

Raymond shrugged, picked up his cigar, sniffed it carefully, and then pulled a match to light it, "Sorry, I don't have a good temper, I really almost got blown up just now." ”

"We are all part-time workers, you blew up my oil pipeline, I didn't say anything, what are you angry about."

"Yes, we are all part-time workers, and many things are out of our own hands." Raymond was taken to the heart, took a deep breath of his cigar, forced it into his lungs, and then slowly exhaled, making the whole room foggy.

Xu Fei was not interested in tobacco and alcohol, turned on the ventilation device, poured two glasses of lemonade, and sat next to Raymond, "What are you going to talk about?" ”

"It's still a matter of northern Germany and North America, and let me persuade Forman to reduce the armament of northern Germany in the Aegean Sea through you."

"Do you think I can do it? Like this time, I was forced to be critically ill. ”

When the news came that North America instructed Muno-Yin to blockade the Suyinshi Canal and then arrange agents to sabotage the 500,000-ton giant freighter, Xu Fei understood that North America had seen through its own plan to plot the Aynak copper mine, so he launched the No. 2 plan to expand the Aegean base and strengthen the Mediterranean springboard.

And North America saw through the military deployment in Germany, so there was no need for Xu Fei to continue to pretend to be sick.

Raymond understood this, got off the transport plane today, and saw Xu Fei doing well, so he was not surprised by the other party's physical state.

It's just that he didn't know that the dog dealer in front of him was the big boos behind the scenes, and he summed up all the actions of Debei to Forman, "Xu, just like the last communication in North America, you can join us, and when the war is won, although we can't become Morgan's existence, we can become capital tycoons similar to Boeing's major shareholders and Raytheon's major shareholders." ”

"Okay, what do you say I'm going to do?"

"Convince Foreman to cut two-thirds of the base's military strength."

Xu Fei picked up the lemonade, took a sip to moisten his throat, shook his head and said, "It's difficult, Foreman's pursuit of power is far beyond your imagination, which is also the main reason why he values me, because I can create great power for him." ”

Mr. Xu is not only the world's sixth-ranked professional manager, but also a physicist, materials scientist, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, electronics expert, and mold and electricity expert.

This time, Debei announced the brief information of the First Fleet, the list of designers of the Villadimore command ship and the Tiberium-class destroyer, and once again gave Director Xu the titles of 'weapons expert' and 'pioneer of modern warships'.

In particular, the Tiberium-class destroyer was not only the first arsenal ship to be put into service in the history of mankind, but also opened a new chapter in the war at sea.

Raymond also picked up the lemonade and stuffed half a glass, "Xu, you have to do something beneficial to North America, otherwise the other side will not let you go, next time it will not be a general electric calf, but a variety of assassinations, maybe it is an order signed by my own hand, of course, I will inform you in advance, but I can't remind you again and again, because the surveillance around me is everywhere." ”

Xu Fei got up and walked to the window, pondering for a long time, "Old Lei, how about you look at the Tiberium-class destroyer in the distance?" ”

"Very strong."

"3 billion US dollars, do you want to buy it?"

“？？？”

"It's a little expensive, but it's designed to be ahead of its time, enough to obsolete all the destroyers that exist."

"Are you kidding me, or are you serious?"

"Seriously, including the rhinoceros heavy tanks and helicopter gunships at the tank test site, they can be sold to North America. However, I need a reason, such as selling these things to cash out, which can bring greater profits to Debei. You know, Foreman never questioned my ability to do business. ”

Raymond's eyes lit up, "You mean, by selling armaments, the strength of the Debei base in the Aegean Sea will be reduced?" ”

"When I think about it, it seems that this is the only way, especially since you intend to eliminate the Koontz-class destroyers built in the 50s, the Adams-class destroyers built in the 60s, and the California-class peace power cruisers built in the 70s, with a shortage of 35 warships. The Tiberium-class destroyers seem to be more powerful than the Zumwalt-class destroyers commissioned by General Electric, and if they are paired with your old battleship, the Ticonderoga-class cruisers, the former is a spear and the latter is a shield, which will form a stronger combat force. ”

Raymond couldn't help but take another deep puff on his cigar, "You're really not kidding me?" ”

"As I said, Foreman never questioned my ability to do business, and if I said that selling these ships would create a greater profit, he would definitely agree." After Xu Fei finished speaking, he turned on his personal computer and unlocked the confidential information of the Tiberium-class destroyer.

"Wait for me!"

After Raymond finished speaking, he picked up his notebook in one hand and took out the communicator in the other, ready to find a place to make a call, but when he walked to the door, he thought that this was the Debei base, and no matter where he went, he might be monitored, so he simply sat back in his place and contacted the white house in front of Xu Fei.

……

North America.

Xiaobu received a call from Raymond and heard that Xu Fei planned to sell the Tiberium-class destroyer, or in other words, the world's first arsenal ship, and contacted Congress on the spot.

At the same time, the detailed information sent by Raymond was passed on to the North American military department.

Tiberium-class destroyer: 182.6 meters long, 26.7 meters wide, 18,600 tons full load displacement, 152 crew members.

The dual-shaft propulsion mode is adopted, and two sets of X-30 gas turbine generator sets/85MW, about 115,000 horsepower, are used as the main power. Two sets of X-3 gas turbines/8MW, about 11,000 horsepower, are used as auxiliary power. It has a range of 20,000 nautical miles and a maximum speed of 35 knots.

The price of the hull is about 3 billion US dollars.

It has: multi-band phased array radar-radar module upgrade, photoelectric detection/launch control system, passive bow sonar/multi-frequency modular full-ship sonar/array ultra-long-range sonar, integrated laser anti-counterfeiting system, ground armament system, underwater combat system, all-weather stealth system......

Naval gun: 2x165mm 70xdiameter advanced naval artillery system.

Missiles: 20x quadruple vertical launchers, with a total loading capacity of 120 pieces, which can be loaded with anti-submarine rockets, Javelin cruise missiles, Javelin-1 short-range anti-aircraft missiles, and regional anti-aircraft missiles.

Close defense: 2x30mm naval guns.

Carrier-based aircraft: 2 anti-submarine helicopters, 3 remotely piloted aircraft, 2x7m hard-hulled expansion speedboats.

Outfitting offer: 2.2 billion US dollars, excluding carrier-based aircraft.

Total offer: $5.2 billion.

It seems that the price is higher than that of conventional aircraft, even if the Ford-class aviation is only 13 billion US dollars, but through simulation, the combat effectiveness of this arsenal ship can beat 7~10 North American active capital ships - Burke-class destroyers.

The cost of the Burke-class destroyer is about 1.8 billion US dollars.

Although the congressional lords did not understand battleships, they knew the benefits of 'nuclear power' and vetoed the proposal of the North American military department on the spot.

When the Pentagon received the reply, there was a lot of scolding, and the deputy defense chief led the generals to the Congress, unanimously demanding the purchase of at least 3 ships.

The old men of Congress got angry and announced that they would leave work and discuss it again in three days.

Why three days later?

Tomorrow Saturday, the day after tomorrow weekend, Monday.

……

"Xu, I'm afraid it will take a while to purchase warships."

"I'm not in a hurry, but I just said that I need to give Forman a suitable reason, that is, to sell this batch of warships, which can create greater profits."

"I understand, I will discuss with the Congress, for example, to reduce the tax rate on industrial products in Germany, or to lift the export restrictions on certain raw materials."

"It's fine."

"Then I'll go to the North American base first and come back in three days."

Raymond completed the task of 'reducing the military strength of the Debei base' and immediately took a transport plane to Tuji.

Xu Fei was not distressed about selling the Tiberium-class destroyer.

One is that the high technology can be dismantled, and the other is that this belongs to the base unit.

All base units will be displayed on the minimap, even if they are invisible, they are also your own units.

In this way, if the Tiberium-class destroyers in North America are to take the cold and stuff their own bricks, they can completely 'coquettish moves', create all kinds of reasonable coincidences or accidents, and easily avoid attacks.

"It's a pity that you can't choose a unit like in the game, and then choose to destroy, and the thing will be gone, otherwise this business will not be bankrupt in North America."

Xu Fei waited for Raymond's C-17 transport plane to leave, and thought about coming to the base laboratory.

Biologists, chemists, and genetics experts from the Iron Sheet Company, including Casal from the Civic Hospital, arrived here yesterday.

At the moment, he is studying the 'aliens' that Raymond has handed over.

Xu Fei changed into a heavy biochemical protective suit and walked to Casal's side, "What did you find?" ”

"The boss, according to medical theory, is supposed to be a mutant, because its internal organs and blood are completely different from ours, and it is anaerobic. But using the operating table in the laboratory for biopsy study, with my years of medical experience, it seems to be a human torso. ”

"People?"

"That's right, people who have been mutated by radiation may have been irradiated from the fetal period, and after being born, they will have genetic mutations in an environment full of radium rays, although this probability is very low, but I think of one thing, maybe there are 5 mutants, or even more mutants, it's not very strange."

"What's the matter?"

"Have you ever heard of 'radium tonic drink'?"

"Nope."

"This happened in the 20s of the last century, when Marie Curie discovered that radium rays can treat cancer, and Western capitalists took advantage of the heat of the news to launch a 'drink containing radium' in order to make a lot of money, and used advertising brochures to claim that the α particles produced by radium decay can replenish energy for the human body, thereby treating more than 100 diseases including blood pressure, anemia, and epilepsy."

Casal looked up the information through the power bank and talked eloquently, "In fact, Marie Curie died of radium radiation, how can radium tonic drink have such a miraculous effect." ”

"However, without knowing the psychological problems or other unknown effects, some athletes did achieve better results after drinking radium tonic drinks."

"This has led to a rush to radium tonic drinks."

"Moreover, genetic mutations require a process, and people who drink radium tonic drinks will not have problems in a short period of time."

"As a result, the drink has been sold in the Western world for more than a decade."

"Then, the 'alien' in front of us is very likely to be the victim at that time, the baby born due to various accidents, which was later found by the North American military department, suspected of being an alien, and raised it."

Casal showed information about radium tonic drinks and aliens, "Again, reports of aliens in North America probably appeared after 1946 and were concentrated in New Mexico. ”

"But do you know where North America made the first nuclear weapon?"

Xu Fei subconsciously said, "Could it be that you are also in New Mexico?" ”

"That's right, and it's July 16, 1945." Casal got up and walked to the freezer with a complicated expression, "I used to be very curious about aliens, and even planned to apply to join Area 51, but now after research, I understand. ”

"No, Casal, are these two things related?"

"If there was a miracle drink on the market that could cure more than a hundred ailments, how much would you sell it? And who can afford it? ”

"Rich?!"

"No, it was the scientists who tried it first, especially those who conducted peace experiments, after all, there were no weapons of peace at that time."

"You mean, this mutant is the descendant of scientists in North America who developed peaceful weapons?"

"I hope the guess is wrong, after all, a lot of research has been done on it in North America."

Suddenly, a materials scientist from North America spoke: "North America must have done research, but after this body was sent to Area 51, it is difficult for researchers from the outside world to see him again, including us, and it is difficult for those who go in to come out...... Therefore, this so-called alien should be a "product of nothingness" fabricated by North America in order to cover up the negative impact of the "radium tonic drink" and the negative impact of the peace experiment, and then destroyed all the information, so that the current North America has always thought that he is an alien. ”

Another biologist from Sweden nodded, "I'm biased towards the gene mutations that lead to the embryonic stage, but I need to continue research." ”

Xu Fei was originally not very afraid of 'aliens', but after listening to the analysis and looking at the weird torso, perhaps out of the psychology of the same kind, he only felt a chill on his back, "Forget it, it's too miserable, bury it." ”
