Chapter 99 B83
8 mechas sound very cool, but in fact only 6 mechas have combat capabilities. According to the basic method of 1-to-1, they can deal with the attacks of up to 6 chrysanthemum beasts. If the opposite side is a level 5 chrysanthemum beast, this ratio will be further expanded to become 2:1 or larger.
In the movie, the Eureka Raider was almost suppressed and beaten when facing the "poisonous woman" of the level five chrysanthemum beast. Finally, he detonated a 1.2 million tons of TNT equivalent nuclear bomb, but the result was that the fourth chrysanthemum beast was killed. The poisonous woman still maintained the power of a battle. From this, it can be imagined how tenacious the vitality of the level five chrysanthemum beast is.
Pantcoster looked at the driver 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 sacrifice at any time. You must be mentally prepared."
Sacrifice, the heavy word, made everyone present breath much quieter. Although after becoming a mecha driver, everyone knew that their heads were hanging on their belts, it was still a bit depressing to make this point.
"Yes, this is a life-and-death battle."
Pantcoster's voice was very serious and serious: "The tragic level of this battle will definitely exceed your and I think about it. I declare in advance that if you plan to quit, you can leave now. Once the battle begins, you will not be allowed to quit. Otherwise, I will deal with several jewels as deserters and shoot them."
"Of course, if you sacrifice, your family will receive a pension, governments will support them until retirement, and the government will pay the education costs of your children until they are 18 years old before they become adults. Of course, I hope you can come back alive."
Leng Liewufeng's words made everyone realize the degree of tragic this time.
Since the PPDC is still a military organization and each of them still has military ranks on their shoulders, they must be managed in accordance with the military regulations of the troops. The shooting of deserters has been written in the management regulations, especially the mecha drivers who rushed on the front line.
Has anyone withdrawn? Everyone looked at each other and saw the resolute look in each other's eyes, not one.
"very good."
Pantcoster was obviously very satisfied with everyone's performance. He clapped his palms and continued to talk about his offensive plan this time.
"Of the six mechas, only the "Dangerous Wanderer" and "Iron Armored Steel Fist" are nuclear-energy. Among them, the Eureka Raiders will carry a 2,400-pound thermonuclear bomb, while the remaining three mechas, "Storm Red", "Cernoelfa" and "Coloon" are responsible for covering them, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of the nuclear bomb before blowing up the gap."
Pantcoster specifically mentioned that Steel Fist and Dangerous Wanderers are nuclear power, and everyone knows the meaning of it.
Once the Eureka raider fails to launch a nuclear bomb, the two mechas, which are active nuclear weapons, must be put on the top and detonate themselves. Of course, this is not to let Zhang Yang and Beckett die. Both mechas have emergency escape pods, and in the movie Beckett and Mazi do survive on the escape pods.
The three Liu brothers patted Zhang Yang's shoulders to express sympathy. In addition to the Steel Fist and the Dangerous Wanderer, the other four mechas are conventional power. Because of this, the task of protecting the Eureka Raider, Dangerous Wanderer and Steel Fist attack gap also fell on the other three conventional power mechas.
Everyone had already prepared for these tasks and was not too surprised at this moment.
The atmosphere in the office was a bit serious, and it seemed like a separation from life and death. After Pantcoster finished talking about the assignment, he disbanded everyone.
"Before the next battle begins, you still have some time. Take the time to rest. Once the war starts, there will be no chance. Let's disband first."
"Yes, sir."
After everyone left the office in groups of three or three, Pantcost looked at the closed door and looked at Heck. Everyone knew that after this battle, they didn't know how many people were left to survive.
"Huck, it's been 9 years since we last fought side by side?"
"9 years and 3 months." Heck shrugged. As the driver of the Eureka Raider, his appearance was naturally indispensable for this mission.
Unlike in the plot, his arm was not broken in the battle. Therefore, Pantcoster did not replace him, and the task of dropping the thermonuclear bomb still fell on his shoulders.
As an old driver, his rich combat experience and the fastest speed of the Eureka Raider are undoubtedly the most suitable for raiding. Of course, the nuclear energy of the Steel Fist and the Wanderer Mecha exists as a reserve force. Once the attack fails, he must stand up and sacrifice his life generously.
Two old drivers who came from the first generation of mechas began to recall the past stories, and after leaving the office, Zhang Yang and others returned to their bedrooms to replenish their spirits.
Lying on the bed, you can still vaguely hear the faint sound outside through the thick metal cement walls. The military base is busy most of the time, and the noise is inevitable, but it does not affect rest.
Looking at the rooftops on his head, Zhang Yang speculated about the arrival of the next wave of attacks. In the movie, the Mouse attacked Hong Kong shortly after this attack. The second wave of attacks arrived at dawn, and the Wanderers and Raiders joined the battle. It was 9 o'clock in the evening, and if it was early in the morning, there were still several hours of rest.
After thinking about something randomly, Zhang Yang quickly fell asleep, while others fell asleep, some lay on the bed with their eyes open, and some even walked around and took a long time to fall asleep slowly.
Without full spirit, driving a mecha will first weaken 10% of your strength.
Zhang Yang was awakened in his sleep.
"Lingling--"
A harsh alarm ringtone suddenly rang, and Zhang Yang immediately opened his eyes. His head, who had just woken up, was still a little blank. Then Zhang Yang saw the virtual screen on the wall next to him, with dazzling red light flashing on it.
“There is a mission!”
Zhang Yang turned over and clicked on the emergency mission. It showed that two level 4 chrysanthemum beasts passed the gap. All the mecha drivers immediately rushed to the control center to gather.
"call."
After breathing, Zhang Yang hurriedly washed his face with cold water, then slapped Thomas's door, but unexpectedly found several other driver candidates standing inside the door.
"You..." Zhang Yang was a little surprised.
"We know this battle is dangerous, so we'll cheer you on."
The little beauty Kayla raised her head and smiled slightly at Zhang Yang and Thomas.
The two of them looked at each other and each other understood the meaning. As drivers selected for the same period, although their friendship is not profound, they are still considered friends. The task this time was too difficult. Come on, actually have the intention to meet for the last time, and no one knows whether this is the last time they meet.
After saying goodbye to everyone, when Zhang Yang and Thomas arrived at the control center, the other drivers had already arrived one after another. Seeing the two of them coming, everyone gave up a way and gave up the two of them inside.
"There are two chrysanthemum beasts in total, both of which are level 4. They did not attack anywhere, but kept hovering 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 of them come out?
At the beginning of the movie, there were two level 4 chrysanthemum beasts, and then the level 5 chrysanthemum beasts appeared. However, it seems that these two guys seemed to be cannon fodder sent by the chrysanthemum star to open the way. The "poisonous women" and other offensive troops who were waiting for were never willing to come out.
"General, what should I do? Do I need to mobilize a mecha?"
Everyone looked at Pantcoster, and Zhang Yang also wanted to see how this black general solved it.
"No."
To everyone's expectations, Pantcost did not send out the mecha immediately, but thought about it and suddenly spoke.
"Tiantong, please contact the Pentagon. I need their help."
Although the technicians present were a little confused, they still quickly executed the orders. Soon, they were responsible for driving the soldiers guarding the door and driving low-level or unrelated staff out. Everyone knew that the next thing was important secret.
Zhang Yang was also guessing what method the general planned to use, but when he saw Pantcoster, he directly spoke with a white four-star general.
"General Hans, I need a nuclear bomb with at least 1 million tons equivalent to attack the chrysanthemum near the gap, and it needs deep water to detonate."
The understatement made everyone present hold their breath.
"Have you thought about it?"
The General Hans did not refuse, but just asked back, it seemed that there had been some secret agreement between the two sides, otherwise it would not have been resolved so quickly when it came to sensitive topics such as nuclear weapons.
"Yes, sending a mecha in the current situation will only increase losses, and using nuclear bombs will be more convenient."
After obtaining confirmation from Pantcoster, General Hans, who was in the Pentagon, quickly discussed with several generals around him, and then passed the resolution as quickly as possible.
"The request is passed, I can give you a B83 warhead, 1.2 million tons equivalent (variable equivalent nuclear bomb, maximum equivalent 1.2 million tons, the strongest nuclear warhead in service in the United States, and other super nuclear bombs are too powerful and are not suitable for modern warfare. They have long been retired or destroyed). The depth of underwater detonation is determined by you. We will release the link authority to you later and send the attack coordinates."
These things belong to the technicians present. Both sides locked the coordinates, attack parameters, locations, and Zhang Yang and others could only stare at them. No one expected that just a few words would determine the ownership of a nuclear warhead.
That's 1.2 million tons!
