The giant corporations that started from Night City
Chapter 317: Raise the white flag and surrender! America is crazy and seeking death!
Chapter 317: Raise the white flag and surrender! America is crazy and seeking death!
While Rita, the Master Chief and others were negotiating with the American government on the ground, Megatronus had just seen the Decepticons who had escaped by chance in a spaceship far away in outer space.
From the mouths of these defeated Decepticons, Megatronus learned what was happening on Earth.
“What? There are other Transformers races…!”
When hearing his younger brothers describing the appearance and capabilities of the Storm Crimson, Zhen Tianzun was also shocked and wondered if it could be another Supreme Ancestor.
After all, it is impossible for human civilization on Earth to suddenly produce a Transformer who can beat Decepticons like Megatron and Starscream into their knees and surrender.
“Damn it! Where on earth did this giant enterprise come from?”
Zhen Tianzun gnashed his teeth and cursed, but after thinking carefully for a while, he did not believe that the red storm below could be the disappearing and reappearing ancestor supreme.
As the leader of the 13 Apostles back then, Megatronus knew all of his brothers’ skills and abilities well. No Supreme was a Transformer like Storm and Crimson.
After thinking about it, Megatronus has realized that Storm Crimson is most likely a Transformer developed by humans themselves, or a weapon given to humans by other mysterious civilizations.
After realizing that the situation was not good, Megatronus spoke to the other Decepticons, “We have to leave as soon as possible. We can’t stay on this spaceship any longer!”
Having experienced countless battles of all sizes, Megatronus immediately put aside his previous contempt for humans. After all, they defeated Transformers such as Megatron and Starscream.
Coupled with the network intrusion and information interception by the giant enterprise of the universe, this made Zhen Tianzun suddenly feel a chill on his back. Maybe this spaceship had already been eavesdropped by the giant enterprise!
Immediately, Megatronus’ figure began to blur, and the next second he appeared outside the spaceship, while the other Decepticons also flew out of the cabin one after another.
As Yuanshi Tianzun’s eldest disciple, Zhentianzun is one of the Transformers templates created directly by the Leadership Module.
Although it does not have the ability to transform, Zhen Tianzun’s other skill points are quite amazing!
For example, the small-range teleportation ability similar to “Flash” just now, and the powerful destructive ability to manipulate the chaotic force of entropy and arbitrarily destroy the basic matter of the universe.
To put it simply, Zhen Tianzun is “Xiao Yan” who can control strange fire in “Transformers”. With this top-level destructive power, he is definitely worthy of the title of the villain.
It is precisely because he controls this forbidden ability that Zhen Tianzun’s entire body appears black, like a furnace that is burning at any time.
In addition, Zhentianzun can open a wormhole on his own and travel freely to different universes and time. A supreme ancestor of his level is invincible in terms of skill points.
But no matter how many skill points you have, you still need enough mana as the basis for launching skills.
At this moment, Zhentianzun had just been released from the sarcophagus. Before going to prison, he fought with six of his former brothers and exhausted his mana.
Now it can only use some simple skills and cannot use overly powerful moves to sweep away human civilization on Earth.
If Zhen Tianzun wants to replenish his mana as quickly as possible, he must first blast a few stars, extract these energies, and restore his strength to its peak.
Back then, Megatron was also an invincible wizard who used his ultimate skill like a normal attack. It’s a pity that now he can only perform boring melee combat.
Otherwise, it will have to show these low-level flesh worms of humans what the strength of a Chibakuten-level Transformer ancestor is.
“Elder, what should we do next!”
At this time, the Decepticons below asked questions in a desperate manner.
All the prominent bosses and second-in-commands in the Decepticon camp were captured by the giant corporation, and those who escaped from the earth were all unknown juniors.
In terms of ability and qualifications, they are far inferior to leaders like Megatron and Starscream, so now they can only wait in confusion for Megatronus to give them orders.
At this moment, Zhen Tianzun looked at the earth not far away and fell into deep thought.
The two paths before us now are to stay and fight humans to the end, or to leave the solar system in disgrace and find a new place to go.
But Zhen Tianzun was reluctant to leave so easily and abandon the blasting system he had deployed in the solar system. It took a lot of his mana to deploy these things.
Originally, he thought he could rely on a few stars to restore some blue and regain his strength, but he didn’t expect that just as he was about to take action, his tools were forcibly confiscated.
If we choose to give up now, all the efforts previously invested in the blasting system will be wasted.
As long as he retrieves the leadership module and uses this “key” to activate the device switch, Zhen Tianzun can immediately obtain a large amount of energy.
Since there is a shortcut to success in front of you, who would bother to work hard in mining and slowly accumulate personal capital?
What’s more, the giant corporation has used some unknown means to invade its own spacecraft.
Megatronus couldn’t leave the solar system for a while, so he could only release information to the outside world, draw lots to call people, and attract more Decepticons.
“A global giant company……!”
When Zhen Tianzun thought of what had just happened, he suddenly felt gloomy in his heart. He knew nothing about this unknown force.
From the previous conversation with V, Megatronus could tell that the other party was a human, but what confused it was why humans had control over such advanced technological power.
The “Transformers” they created could easily defeat Megatron and Starscream, and they became prisoners of the giant corporation.
“Could it be possible that humans have obtained some technological information from the Allspark?!”
According to the information previously said by the Decepticons, Megatronus knew that humans on Earth had studied the Allspark for decades.
Maybe they got some information from it, who knows.
Since Universe Corporation only dispatched the Hunter Mech Team in this arrest operation, the Decepticons could only provide some information about the Hunter Mech to Megatronus.
This led to some misunderstandings about the strength of the Universal Corporation. Zhen Tianzun still believed that the Universal Corporation was just a human company that had obtained some technology by chance through the Spark Source.
Even if they could create a few Transformers like Storm and Crimson, they would never be able to outnumber the Decepticons.
Once everyone is gathered, the chances of winning are still on our side!
“Those cunning bugs of the human race may have gained something from the Allspark, which allowed them to create that batch of Transformers.”
The voice of Zhen Tianzun was very heavy and hoarse, and the scarlet light in his eyes became brighter.
“I don’t believe that the number of human Transformers will be greater than ours. When the time comes, I will personally take action and defeat these useless pieces of junk!”
Megatronus’ words greatly boosted the morale of the Decepticons. The combat capability of their organization actually depends a lot on whether their boss can gain an advantage first.
Decepticons like Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave are all top-notch fighter-type bosses.
As long as you gain the advantage in a fight, the Decepticons behind you will rush up with great momentum and launch a harvest-level team battle.
“Must win!!”
Just when all the Decepticons were getting excited and began to respond to Megatronus passionately, they were surprised by the next sentence from him, which made them feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.
“Now I’m going to assign you a new task.”
Megatronus looked at the remaining dozen or so Decepticons and gave an order in an unquestionable tone:
“Megatron found clues about Sam before he was scrapped. I will send you the location information now. What you have to do next is to find the leadership module for me!”
Upon hearing this, the Decepticons immediately became embarrassed. They looked at each other hesitantly, and no one dared to respond to Megatronus.
We agreed to wait for everyone to gather and then fight back. With such a small number of people, if we turn back now, what’s the difference between this and walking into a trap!
Isn’t this just using them as cannon fodder?
“Elder, the Earth is too dangerous right now, and we don’t have enough manpower.”
“Let’s wait until our reinforcements arrive here before we make a long-term plan!”
“…”
The Decepticons who had just escaped from Earth really didn’t want to go back now. A single Storm Crimson from the Megatron could defeat several of them. How could they possibly accomplish this mission?
“You have to go even if you don’t want to!”
The tone of Lord Zhentian suddenly changed, a brutal and overbearing aura rushed towards him, and his huge body exuded a strong sense of oppression.
“I’m not discussing with you, I’m informing you!”
Of course, Zhen Tianzun knew that it would be difficult to complete this task with just these few people, but the opportunity was rare and would not come again. If it did not find the leadership module startup device as soon as possible, it would not be able to restore its own strength.
If draining the energy of these Decepticons would not help restore their strength, Megatronus would have wanted to drain these useless wastes and do it himself. But now, he can only remain cautious enough and will not take action easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
Faced with Megatronus’s coercion, the Decepticons hurriedly returned to Earth. They knew that if they didn’t do as he asked, this old ancestor would really tear them apart alive!
However, this group of Decepticons who returned to Earth did not go to Sam’s location to arrest him as planned.
Instead, they came to a downtown area in America and used things from the department store to make a makeshift white flag to express their surrender to humans.
In less than ten minutes, the news of the Decepticons’ surrender spread throughout America.
Under normal circumstances, these Decepticons would certainly be ashamed to surrender to humans, but now the situation is different, even their own boss Starscream has surrendered.
Why can’t they surrender!
Anyway, this trip is destined to be a suicide mission, so it is better to surrender to the humans and survive. If Zhentianzun is capable, he will come down himself to retrieve the leadership module.
Before long, the noise made by the Decepticons in the downtown area shocked the top government officials of the United States.
At first, they thought that the agents had sent back false news. After all, in the history of the confrontation between humans and Decepticons, there was no precedent of Decepticons surrendering.
But now, these Decepticons have chosen to surrender on their own initiative, although American politicians all know that the object of the Decepticons’ surrender is most likely the mysterious giant corporation.
But that doesn’t stop them from taking credit.
At this moment, American politicians in Washington were so excited that they almost opened champagne to celebrate with each other. The war was over and mankind was about to usher in the dawn of victory.
The Autobots and America are allies, so even if Optimus Prime doesn’t hand over the technology to America, they can do nothing about it.
But if they are surrendered Decepticons, it means that America can use various means to obtain various high-tech of Cybertron from these Decepticons!
These scientific and technological technologies will help America achieve great revival once again, completely dominate the earth, and stand proudly above all other countries.
As early as a hundred years ago, America relied on reverse engineering Megatron’s technology, benefited greatly from alien technology, and became the world’s hegemon.
But being used to getting things for free has led to the fact that America’s technological foundation is entirely built on Transformers. Without tinkering with the technology of these Autobots and Decepticons, it would be difficult for human technology to achieve leapfrog progress.
“Send someone to take these Decepticon prisoners immediately. Don’t let them escape!”
Politicians in Washington immediately issued orders to the soldiers on the front lines. The results of their negotiations with the global giants are not yet clear.
However, no matter what the outcome of this negotiation is, it will not affect America’s desire to achieve a technological explosion with the help of Transformers.
However, what happened next was far beyond their expectations!
It turned out that this group of Decepticons were quite vigilant. They saw through the deceptive tactics of the American agents at a glance, and after learning that the other party was not from the global giant enterprise.
The Decepticons started a massacre on the spot, using guns and artillery to smash local soldiers and agents, and then issued a stern warning to the American government:
[Who do you think you are? I want to meet someone from the Universal Corporation! ]
It is obvious that the Decepticons can tell who is the one who truly defeated them.
When the top U.S. government officials learned that the Decepticons were looking for people from the Universe Corporation, they were stunned. Before they had finalized the communication with the Universe Corporation, the Decepticons here began to surrender publicly.
This force acted so fast that the situation on Earth changed within just a few hours!
At this moment, the whole of America began to desperately search for information about the global giant.
And mobilized all available electronic equipment to try to find out the battle scene between Storm Crimson and the Decepticons.
But unfortunately, the earth’s network, satellites, and surveillance devices have long been controlled by giant corporations. As long as the giant corporations are willing, America will not be able to find any clues about them.
……
Washington, NEST military base headquarters!
Just recently, the director of the U.S. Secret Service met with Rita and had a simple conversation.
After learning about Rita’s request, he immediately contacted the current President of the United States, Barack, and conveyed the latest information.
“Mr. President, I regret to tell you that we did not get any information about the Universal Corporation from them.”
“During this meeting, they only made one request, which was to hold a meeting for governments around the world at the NEST base headquarters.”
“At that time, the giant corporation will put forward all its demands. Should we agree to them?”
After he finished speaking, the Director of the Secret Service secretly hoped that President Barack would agree to this not-too-excessive request.
Although the NEST base is a highly confidential place, after experiencing Megatronus’s global live broadcast invasion and the network hacking of giant companies, there is no confidentiality anymore.
But the problem is not with the NEST base, but with this global conference. The director is well aware of the nature of his own top brass. The various U.S. departments will certainly be thinking about how to monopolize the communication channels with the world’s giant companies.
After all, once this goal is achieved, the United States, which already dominates the world, will once again widen the technological gap with other countries, and the true “God bless America” will come true!
But if other countries also get involved and acquire the same technology, then America’s leading advantage will not be big enough and it may even be surpassed or replaced.
“Don’t promise them easily for now.”
As expected, after weighing the pros and cons, President Barack believed that the United States was the only hegemonic country on the planet, and that if the world’s giant companies wanted to cooperate and deal with human civilization, they had to go around them.
Only by testing the bottom line of the giant enterprise first and then making appropriate concessions can you get enough benefits from it!
“First, tell the Universal Corporation that if they want to hold a global conference at the NEST base, they must go through our review and investigation. Otherwise, it will be an infringement of American sovereignty.”
Hearing the president’s statement, the director of the Secret Service was about to persuade him to calm down, but after thinking about it, he responded helplessly:
“Yes, Your Excellency, President!”
After hanging up the phone, President Barack immediately asked his secretary to call the editor-in-chief of the New York Times.
Ever since the Autobots and Decepticons came to Earth and launched a series of battles for the Allspark, this battlefield has become a performance assessment for the President of the United States.
Whoever can gain more benefits for America will continue to be elected president!
What Barack needs to do now is to use the power of the media to publicize his actions in vigorously safeguarding national sovereignty and increase his chances of winning the next election.
“A global giant? Haha, now that you’re here, you have to abide by American rules!”
Barack looked out at the lawn outside the presidential palace, imagining the moment when he would show his power next.
……
……
Ideal City, the headquarters of the All Worlds Base!
In front of the central console in the headquarters command room, a hard-light screen displayed the faces of the heads of various departments on the front line.
Based on the intelligence information passed back by Rita, Leon convened a meeting targeting the American government and asked the heads of various departments to announce their plans for dealing with the United States.
“We are holding a global conference on their territory, but we still need to go through their review and investigation? Isn’t this a rejection of us?”
The person who spoke was Jack Wells, the leader of the Iron Hands Chapter. He couldn’t understand where the American President got the courage to refuse the request of a giant company.
After he finished speaking, the other department heads also nodded, saying that the top leaders of the U.S. government were completely shameless.
Obviously, all the supervisors have the same idea about the crazy and suicidal American executives.
The reason why they chose America as their territory to hold a global conference was mainly because the other party was the overlord of the earth and had a certain influence.
But this does not mean that the world’s giant companies will make concessions to the United States.
There is such a large interstellar fleet in the Earth’s low-Earth orbit. Can’t the President of the United States see it? Or is he used to bullying other small countries and doesn’t know his own strength clearly.
A purely indigenous civilization first bullied the honest Autobots, and now is putting on a show in front of the giant corporation. The heads of various departments of the giant corporation will not tolerate this bad habit of America!
At this moment, some radical department heads have already planned to deploy weapons of mass destruction to take out all the top American officials in Washington at one go.
However, conservative executives felt that the radicals’ actions were too conservative and that they should target senior officials across the United States in a one-step, devastating blow.
