Facing the warm greeting of the three-star lieutenant general of the Federation, Zhang Lisheng showed a polite smile on his face, walked quickly to Monglia and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "General Foucault, it's an honor to meet you, you command a breathtaking battleship. ”

"Doctor," Mongria smiled condescendingly as he took the young man's hand, "I want to thank you for that, the Mammoth has become as amazing as it is today, and if it weren't for Wu Li's gold, maybe it would never have been able to fully load the Iron Warrior, and the engine crew would have been..."

Before the Federation General could finish his words, suddenly a projection of a young head wearing a military hat flashed in the void parallel to his right and his line of sight, and reported loudly: "General, the 'Bird's Nest' has sent an order to allow takeoff. ”

"Since our guests have arrived, we might as well leave early," Monglia looked at his watch and said in a solemn voice, "Colonel Bo replied to the 'Bird's Nest', the Mammoth will take off in three minutes and sail directly to the New York military base on Earth."

All the personnel of the command platform are ready, and the countdown to the liftoff begins. ”

"Yes, General. ”；

"Yes, General. ”；

"Yes, Your Excellency. In front of the lieutenant general of the Federation, hundreds of portrait projections appeared in a dazzling flash, and in the neat solemn answer, the engine crew of the space carrier began to warm up.

At the same time, the sound of the countdown resounded in every corner of the Flying Fortress, "Attention units, please pay attention, please pay attention, Mammoth enters the air preparation, Mammoth enters...

Ninety-nine, ninety-eight, ninety-seven..."

In an instant, countless holes cracked in the city-wide metal deck. Revealing the spiral staircase, tens of thousands of Federation sergeants who were working nervously in the open air quickly retreated in an orderly manner, and countless silver metal frames holding the Iron Warriors in place also sank into the cabin.

Within a minute and a half, the deck, which had been crowded with people, had become empty, leaving only thousands of batteries glistening in the sun.

At this time, the countdown has come to an end, and the engine crew that has completed the preheating preparation begins to supply the bottom of the mothership, and tens of thousands of huge propellers are inverted to fill the kinetic energy.

In just three or five seconds, the propellers that began to spin at high speed with a deafening 'buzzing...' sound generated a tremendous thrust that blew up countless bunkers. dragged the steel fortress into the air slowly. Flying faster and faster into the distance.

After six or seven hours of trekking across the vast deserts, over the boundaries of the world, and on the planet, the Mammoth sailed peacefully over New York City at night.

The space carrier, without a trace of leakage, was covered by the deep darkness of the night. Ghostly floating in the air at a height of thousands of meters. The adjutant customary reported: "Your Excellency the General. We have entered New York airspace. ”

Monglia looked around the podium to evoke the feeling of being outside, and the walls that were once transparent, but now showed the vast night sky around the mothership, ordered, "Turn on the 'Hawkeye' system." ”

Suddenly, the image of the wall around the command station began to change rapidly. A few seconds later, a bleak bird's-eye view of the New York metro area appeared in front of the boss general's eyes with a faint red light.

"Doctor, the last time I was here, half of the skyscrapers in Manhattan were lit with neon lights, but now it's pitch black and completely lifeless. The Federation General was silent for a moment, then suddenly said to the black-haired young man who had remained by his side and watched with interest the long flight of the Mammoth.

"Yes General," the young man took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket and looked at the time and shrugged, and replied casually: "It's already ten forty o'clock at night, and the streets are depressed...", before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden appearance of an officer's head, "Your Excellency, fifty kilometers ahead, at eleven o'clock, a formation of Atlantean warships was spotted and asked us to identify ourselves. ”

"Detect the number of battleship formations. Monglia's face changed, and he no longer paid attention to the black-haired youth, and ordered in a cold voice.

After more than ten seconds, the officer's portrait appeared again and reported: "General, the other party is a C-class formation, the main ship is a planetary-class anti-aircraft destroyer, and there are four auxiliary ships..."

They asked us again to identify ourselves and issued an orange warning. ”

"Orange warning," the Federation General asked, his face growing cold, "What a ridiculous, do those Atlanteans identify themselves now?"

"There are no generals. ”

"Then they're provoking. Monglia smiled stiffly, "The mothership stopped before it sailed;

The batteries in Area B and Area C are ready to be charged and reloaded, and a round of deterrence attacks will be carried out at 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock;

The mechanical warriors of the first and second columns activated the floating attack array;

A red warning was issued to the Atlantis fleet. ”

With the orders of the three-star lieutenant general of the Federation, the hundreds of side-mounted propellers on the rear side of the mothership immediately stopped, and the metal deck shrouded in darkness cracked and a steel frame was raised.

Soon after appearing in the howling wind in the sky, the hollow eyes of the steel warriors bound by the giant metal brackets lit up with a cold blue light, and they began to run and jump out of the mothership.

In mid-air, the periphery of these 'big iron men' suddenly erupted from the top and bottom of the scorching white flames, turning into dazzling torches and lighting in the night sky, supporting the falling bodies, hovering on the front side of the air fortress, and expelling the eager offensive formation.

At the same time, the two dense artillery emplacements exposed outside the mothership also suddenly radiated countless cannon fire, turning the pitch-black night sky in the distance into a sea of red fire.

"This, this is too 'radical', is it that General Monglia is going to war with the Atlanteans?" Seeing all this from the changing wall images around him, he was shocked by the unexpected radical attitude of the Federation Lieutenant General, Zhang Lisheng said dumbfounded.

For a while, he even had a faint feeling of being framed in his heart, and couldn't help but quietly clench his fists.

Fortunately, Alison, who had been by the young man's side at the moment, explained in time: "Doctor, according to the agreement between the White House and 'Atlantis', the airspace of metropolitan cities with a population of more than one million such as New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia is the exclusive possession of the Federation.

The position of the Mammoth does not make it necessary to identify itself to the Atlanteans from any angle, but the alien warships should have informed us of the approaching number, so their current behavior is simply a naked provocation.

Even if a military conflict does occur, the main responsibility does not lie with them. ”

Zhang Lisheng felt relieved and relaxed in his heart, but he still couldn't help but say again, "Even if it is like this, General Mongria's reaction is too much, too much..."

"His Excellency Monglia is a well-known hawkish general in the federal military, and the combat capability of the 'Mammoth' planet under his command is completely comparable to that of the Atlantean B-class fleet.

With all things in hand, how could he bow down to those aliens.

And don't worry, Doctor, there are no fools among the alien fleet commanders, as long as the Flying Fortress does not fly out of the airspace of New York City, they will never take the initiative to enter..."The female major showed a confident appearance and comforted the young man, but suddenly saw that on the wall in front of her, hundreds of dazzling light clusters flashed in the red night sky that was illuminated between the two seas of fire.

The female major's face suddenly changed, "Oh, it looks like we're in trouble, Doctor, the captain of the Atlanteans on the other side is not a hardliner who is bolder than General Mongria, he is really an idiot." ”

"I think the answer should be the latter, Major Allison, unless it's a brainless fool, who would abandon the battleship and choose to let the soldiers fight the enemy's suppressive firepower alone..."Zhang Lisheng, who had seen the Atlanteans fight alone several times, knew very well that those sudden light clusters were the scenes when the aliens flew and lined up with the help of the light stone, and said in astonishment.

After that, he came back to his senses and stood not far away without ignoring Mongria, smiling unscrupulously and shrugging his shoulders, "However, no matter how idiotic the enemy's commander is, General Mongria is now facing an extremely important choice. ”

"There's nothing worth deciding, Doctor. Standing on the high platform, the expressionless face of the Federation General heard the black-haired young man's words and replied stiffly, and commanded in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The mothership continues to hover, and all batteries are ready to be charged and reloaded, and the battle alarm will be issued to the Atlantis fleet."

The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th columns of mechanical warriors activated the floating attack array, and once the aliens attacked, they immediately fought back with all their might.

Remember, though, that the Atlantean fleet must be the first to fire. ”

As soon as the commander gave the order, hundreds of professional soldiers on the entire Flying Fortress command platform all performed their duties with solemn faces and were ready to fight.

They knew in their hearts that perhaps the fate of Milicon and the entire human race might soon take a major turn, and that they would become the creators of a new history, and their hearts were full of uneasiness.

The light of time seemed to freeze, slowly flowing second by second, and when the hearts of the sergeants accelerated to the limit of what the human body could reach as the light mass approached, an unexpected scene happened again, and the Atlantean warships and individual warbands slowly stopped over the edge of New York City.

"General, the enemy has ceased its activities under our warning. Ten seconds later, with a low cheer, the adjutant's head appeared in front of Monglia, and his voice was dry and relieved.

"If those aliens don't move, we'll continue to hover," the Federation General seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, as if there was a subtle look of relief on his iron-cast face, but his mouth commanded loudly: "Don't make any contact with them, just try to see whose patience is better."
