Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Drift of the Iron Castle
Compared to the other comrades who entered the Caron underground base for the first time, Megatron was much more familiar with the road, and even took his subordinates to visit the living unit assigned to him by the original leader of the predator.
In the face of the chief's introduction, the grassroots officers led by hydraulic pressure showed their envy for Megatron's chief in the optical mirror, and after Megatron introduced his own living unit, he also led his subordinates to the special living unit arranged for them.
Here, Megatron once again sees the tightrope that once fought alongside Stan City and the Spaceport, and the medic of this special operation.
As a disciple of the ambulance commander, swinging can be said to be where you need to go, and he readily accepts this, after all, this kind of special operation is much more exciting than the boring life of an adjutant.
After seeing his old friend, Megatron said hello to Swing, and then, without having time to talk too much, Swing first went to arrange for the elite living unit of the guerrilla army.
"Is the swing chief so busy, it seems that the ambulance commander values the swing officer."
Hydraulic watched the other elites of the guerrilla army move into the various housing units under the swaying arrangement, and turned his head thoughtfully to look at Chief Megatron and said.
"After all, the ambulance commander only has one disciple, and it is certain that he attaches importance to some."
His friends were valued, and Megatron was also happy for the swing, after all, the swing had helped him a lot during this time, if he hadn't been on the front line, he would have asked the swing to go to the energy supply station to replenish the high-purity energy liquid.
Now, there is no chance to go for the time being.
While Megatron and his subordinates were preparing for the upcoming special operation, the Thunder Rescue Team formed by the Striker was also repairing the airframe under his leadership.
As a former champion of the gladiators of Slaughter City, Striker has absolute prestige and prestige among his ranks, and as such, his orders are unimpeded.
At the same time, the firing pin is also a qualified captain, so the firing pin knows what to do when and when, and also knows how to understand his subordinates and cultivate a tacit understanding with each other, because only in this way can there be coordinated cooperation on the battlefield.
Under the coordination of the firing pin, the Thunder Rescue Team quickly cultivated a certain tacit understanding, but because most of them were born in the gladiatorial arena of Slaughter City, the fighting style was somewhat violent, and they even studied a set of tactics on how to quickly dismember the enemy's body.
In this regard, the firing pin did not say much after understanding, he knew the mission of their operational force, and countering violence with violence might sometimes allow them to seize more advantages in the operation.
Of course, from a personal point of view, the firing pin also appreciates this method of quickly dismembering the enemy's body.
"Although this tactic is a bit aggressive, it can indeed avoid the enemy's phase offset device."
The striker commands his subordinates to train at the training ground, which was once a training ground for junior officers against natural enemies.
As a result of the success of the Predator uprising, the southern part of Cybertron has been completely liberated, and the training grounds for the junior officers have since been transferred to various cities on the surface, and now the training ground has been approved by the Predator leaders and temporarily handed over to their Special Operations Force.
"The underground base here is really big, it's hard to imagine how much the leader of the natural enemies paid to build this underground base."
Next to the firing pin is a heavily armed, red-and-white lacquered sturdy Transformer, whose name is Leadfoot, and although he is not a gladiator, he was specially selected by the firingpin to join the Thunder Rescue Team due to his fighting style.
The lead-filled optics scanned the training ground of the underground base, the first time he had been to the base where the predator leader had rebelled.
It is said that the vast majority of the current junior officers have gone out from here, and it is thought that the leaders of the predators had expected to train officers at the beginning of the uprising, so as to facilitate the future against the Supreme Council.
The plan now appears to have been a success, as most of the current rank-and-file officers in the army have been trained by the Predator Leader, whose anger at the Supreme Council and loyalty to the Predator Leader have upheld power in southern Cybertron.
"There are some things that we need to be clear about, the reason why a leader can become a leader is that he fights for some of his own grand ideas when we do other things."
"Of course, I'm not saying we don't have grand ideas, at least, we're on our way to the ideal Cybertron of the Predator Leader."
"And now, our war is cleaning up the rust that clings to our race."
The firing pin and the men said that since the ambulances were willing to believe that the predators could change Cybertron and their race, why didn't they believe it.
They are now on their way forward, and it is the Supreme Council that should be alarmed.
"Captain, you know I didn't mean that, if it weren't for believing in the idea of the leader of the predators, I wouldn't have rushed from the north of the cyber to the south to join the army."
Leadfoot said and looked at the underground base, he was also a supporter of the Enemy concept, even a few, after the Enemy made a global speech, Leadfoot set off from the north of Cybertron through Crystal City, and finally arrived in the south of Cybertron.
"I'm not saying that the functional committee of the Supreme Council has no role to play, but I would like to do something else than the work he has assigned to me according to mine."
As a resident of northern Cybertron, Leadfoot has asked his job several times, but he has not been able to change his job due to the form of the vehicle.
Because of this, after the revolt of the predators, the angry Leadfoot left his job and went to the south of Cybertron to join the army.
Transformers like Leadfoot, who are dissatisfied with the Functional Council, still have a certain number of Transformers in the northern part of Cybertron, but most of them can't come because they don't have enough energy to support the southern part of Cybertron, or for other reasons.
The Leaded Foot represents the Transformers of the Disgruntled Functional Council in the north of Cybertron, while the firing pin represents the Transformers in the south of Cybertron who were forced to become gladiators because of the oppression of the Supreme Council.
These are the epitome of Cybertron's Supreme Council, which has become a very existence that they once spurned.

meanwhile
Iron Castle
During the time Optimus Prime traveled to the southern part of Cybertron to mine, the Iron Keep had a lot fewer inhabitants on the streets due to conscription, and of course, there were many fewer legal residents.
Due to the imperfection of the system, or the result of the imperfection of the system with the acquiescence of the Supreme Council, the conscription of the Iron Fort was all citizens of the territory, and those non-citizens who stayed in the Iron Fort and did not apply for the citizenship of the Iron Fort were not conscripted.
Or, even if the Supreme Council requisitioned them, these non-citizens would not just join the High Council's forces, but would expect the Supreme Council's troops to suffer heavy injuries so that they would have a chance to apply to become citizens of the Iron Keep.
Most of these non-citizens don't care much about the war between the Predator regime and the Supreme Council, the war is too far away from them, and the Supreme Council is too close to them, even if they want to support the Predator regime, they don't have the ability.
What's more, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Enemy Regime will not necessarily lose, after all, the southern part of Cybertron is still occupied by the Enemy Regime, even if the Supreme Council still says that they have suppressed the enemy on the frontal battlefield, but they cannot get a qualified result.
"The Supreme Council is boasting about their achievements on the front again, but so far the front has not advanced."
On the streets of the Iron Fort, watching the screen of the Supreme Council Flying Cloud Councillor boasting about the situation on the front line, the non-citizens present spoke, alerting the law enforcers who may appear around them at any time.
Since the members of the Supreme Council were assassinated en masse, now that the Iron Fort is under martial law, those who enforce the law can now arrest non-citizens at will.
Of course, there are good enforcers, but there are not many, and many more enforcers are thugs of the Supreme Council.
Drift and his friends looked at the screen from Councillor Flying Cloud's encouragement to the residents, and he knew that the Supreme Council was actually deceiving itself.
After all, now that the Shockwave Councilors are on their side, how can they turn defeat into victory in the Supreme Council in such a situation.
"Drift, it's time for us to go."
At this time, the sound of the washer came from the side, and when he heard his friend's voice, he turned his head to see the washer.
"Is there anything the guild needs to do right now?"
Drift asked the washer, they are now a member of the guild, so some things in the guild, they will also be involved in it.
"Yes, isn't it the recent election of candidate Aelita to win, and the scientists want to prepare a party for Aelita."
"They want us to go to the energy supply station and buy some high-purity energy liquid."
Gaskets and Drift explain that they are both members of the Scientists' Guild, so now they have to do something that fits their identity.
"High-purity energy liquid, I remember that the supply of high-purity energy liquid in Iron Castle seems to be in short supply."
"Let's not go to the energy supply station, let's go to the old oil mill of McAdane, there is definitely a high-purity energy liquid there."
Hearing the gasket's words, Drift felt that it was better not to go to the energy supply station, after all, some energy supply stations could not supply high-purity energy liquid.
It seems that because of the war going on between the south and north of Cybertron, this high-purity energy is also used to supply the soldiers on the front line.
Of course, that's what the Supreme Council says, or what the Supreme Council wants them to know.
"Old McAdan Oil Mill, the legendary oil mill that is rumored to have a relationship with the Supreme Council."
Hearing the drift say, the washer felt that there was some truth in it, nodded and acquiesced to the drift statement.
"The old oil mill of McAdan, the oil mill that has some relationship with the Supreme Council, and even some Transformers who drink high-purity energy liquid and cause the circuit to malfunction, think that the oil is the legendary Thirteen Heavenly Yuan."
Drift and gaskets explain the old McAdan oil mill, he likes to go to that place to replenish the high-purity energy liquid, after all, the oil protection there does not change his service attitude according to his status.
Of course, the last few stellar cycles, the drift did not go.
The current drift work is delivering a message from the Supreme Council to the Predator Leader for the Shockwave Councillors.
This work drift is very good, and it is said that drift is born to do this job, but because of the functional committee, this ability has only been developed until now.
While Drift and Gasket went to the old oil mill of Macadan to purchase high-purity energy liquid, the Supreme Council was also discussing the issue of energy supply at the front.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the Temporal Enemy does not have many troops to mobilize, which indicates that their purpose has been achieved.
Although the current energy consumption is a bit high, as long as they fight to retake the southern part of Cybertron, they will be able to regain the raw materials and fuel supply area at that time.
"Councilor Flying Cloud, how are your troops preparing?"
In the Supreme Council Hall, Councilor Radiance asked Councillor Flying Cloud about the current readiness of the Iron Keep troops.
Due to the approval of the original plan of the Flying Cloud Councilor, they have now spent a lot of energy to implement this plan, and they have also transferred back a large number of air forces in the Yuewei 1 and Yuewei 2.
The defenses on Cybertron's periphery are now very weak, and this is a last resort, and the only way to deal with the rebellious regime of the enemy is to move the air force back again.
"My troops are almost ready, but the thickness of the armor of the troop carrier is still a little insufficient."
Councillor Flying Cloud explained, calling up the current data on troop carriers north of Cybertron.
At present, the number of troop carriers in the northern part of Cybertron is sufficient and somewhat abundant, but the thickness of the armor is somewhat insufficient, and such a thickness can easily be shot down by enemy rapid-fire guns and anti-aircraft guns.
"Do we have to wait, every sidereal cycle consumes a lot of energy right now, you should know it, Flying Cloud Councilor."
Councillor Radiance was not very satisfied with Councillor Flying Cloud's statement, and now the fuel and energy supply in the north of Cybertron is burning as the war intensifies.
If the war is not ended soon, there will be problems with their energy supply.
It can be said that every minute is now a must be fought for.
Councilor Radiance looked at Councilor Flying Cloud and tried to get an answer from him, and Councilor Flying Cloud did not disappoint.
Under the gaze of Congressman Radiant and other councillors, the pilot voiced his answer.
"Maybe the thickness of our troop carriers doesn't need to be up to par."
"After all, it is impossible for the predators to get too many anti-aircraft weapons from the industrialized and backward southern Sebot."
"If we can reduce the thickness of the troop carrier's armor, then we will be able to launch an offensive as soon as possible."
Councillor Feiyun looked at the other councillors, and the other councillors were also surprised by these words.
"What's the difference between that and murder? Are we going to cut the thickness of the troop carrier's armor just by guessing about the predators? ”
Shockwave looked at Councillor Flying Cloud with shock, and what answered him was the silence of the vast majority of councillors present.
"That's probably the best thing to do right now."
After a long silence, Councilor Radiance finally spoke in a heavy voice.
