Chapter 1,485 An Unexpected Turn

"Forward! Forward!"

It is impossible for a simple drill to drill through the 400-meter-thick granite layer, but the "digger warrior" standing here is no longer the one that originally landed on the surface of Mars. In order to adapt to the complex battlefield environment of Mars and eliminate the devil insect nests deeper underground, this underground warrior has been modified countless times by colonial engineers.

A groove pattern as thick as a thumb is added to the side of the original drill bit, which is connected to a corrosion-resistant material container filled with organic solution.

The solution contained inside is devil's acid!

The high-speed rotating corrosion-resistant high-cobalt drill bit throws out the devil's acid and penetrates into the rock formation below the drill bit. Whether it is granite or a steel protective belt, it is corroded by this layer of acid and is easily broken through by the drill bit.

The speed of the downward push was beyond the expectations of all Americans!

When the last layer of protection is drilled through.

The Digger slammed into the tunnel inside the Cheyenne Mountain Military Base. The fallen steel gate was just not far in front of the drill bit. The Digger who continued to push forward easily drilled a twisted hole. .

Soldiers wearing exoskeletons rappelled down from the top of the mountain into the tunnel, following closely behind the "Digger Warrior" with rifles in hand.

Ignoring the bullets fired from the front, the high-speed rotating drill shot directly from one end of the tunnel toward the gate of the Cheyenne Mountain Military Base. There was a tooth-piercing friction sound, and the thick steel plate was broken inch by inch along with the falling rivets.

In the desperate sight of the soldiers stationed in the military base, the giant alloy door weighing 25 tons and two meters thick had a hole wide enough for two people.

"Protect the President!"

With a roar, war is about to break out.

However, the last layer of defense of the fortress has been breached, and nothing can stop the Star Ring trade soldiers who rush into the fortress.

Gas bombs were fired, and smoke filled every corner of the military base. Rows of black exoskeletons passed through the gas-filled corridors, knocking down the resisting soldiers and officers with gun butts or short sticks, and kicking them directly. The door to the multimedia screening room was opened, and the president, the secretary of defense, and other senior American officials who were covering their mouths and noses were surrounded...

This time, they have nowhere to escape.

…

columbus,

front.

A radio, placed on a sandbag.

American soldiers holding rifles and heavy machine guns, with their faces painted in black camouflage oil, gathered in a half circle and listened to the broadcast on the radio.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

They heard the voice of Mike Pence...their president.

Compared with when he delivered his inauguration speech and called for war mobilization, his voice had lost a lot of vitality, was a bit dejected, and looked a lot older. With astonishment, the American soldiers looked at each other, stopped their playful chat, and listened carefully to every word on the radio.

However, after listening to it, the expressions on their faces were completely frozen...

Or to put it another way, completely collapsed...

"Today is the darkest day in American history."

"Our last bastion, Cheyenne Mountain Military Base, has been breached."

"More than 100 million people were drawn into a misguided and avoidable war, more than 100,000 Americans lost their lives in it, and now millions of Columbus citizens are suffering from the siege. For generations Our efforts have been wasted, and our losses cannot be measured in Fed gold."

"Not out of fear for the future, but because this war really needs to end."

"With regret and a heavy heart, I read out this agreement."

"On behalf of the White House, on behalf of the 60th United States Administration, on behalf of the American people, I express our desire for peace, and..."

Speaking of which, Mike Pence's voice trembled visibly.

As if he had exhausted his last strength, he spoke slowly with a heavy tone.

“…and unconditional surrender to the new nation.”

Unconditional...surrender?

surrender? !

Not only the American soldiers squatting behind the sandbags on the front line in Columbus, but also all the Americans who saw this news through TV, mobile phones and other multimedia channels, they all stopped what they were doing as if they were under a petrification spell. He stood there dumbly.

Didn’t it say that the fortress of Cheyenne Mountain was impregnable?

Doesn’t it mean that even if a global nuclear war breaks out, this doomsday fortress can preserve America’s last hope until the end of the war? Why is it that less than a month after the war started, the White House, the Pentagon and this so-called last fortress were lost one after another...

Americans were not the only ones shocked by this news.

All NATO member states.

And even the whole world...

Until three days ago, British MPs were still debating the need to develop a space force in the Palace of Westminster. Until a week ago, Russia was planning to deploy nuclear weapons to the border to prevent the expansion of war in Europe. Until half a month ago, the European Space Agency was still busy making a systematic assessment of the killing efficiency of space-based weapons. Until a month ago, the Americans thought that a trident was enough to stop the Star Ring trade...

However, the facts subverted everyone's expectations.

This war, which was originally thought to be long-lasting and eventually trigger all wars around the world, ended with the surrender of a superpower in less than a month. The national flag displayed proudly on the Statue of Liberty seems like it was raised just yesterday, and today it has been fixed in the frame of history.

In California, which has not yet experienced war, and in Silicon Valley, which has been selectively forgotten by the Star Ring Trade, IT migrant workers standing in front of the recruitment point hugged each other and cried bitterly. They finally mustered up the courage to go to the battlefield, but the president who mobilized them to take up arms to defend freedom read out the surrender agreement.

In Texas, not far from California, red-necked Texans marched on the streets carrying rifles, shouting that they would resist until the end, not recognizing the surrender agreement or even the president of the United States, claiming that they were shedding the last drop of blood. Never lay down your weapons before.

Citizens in Washington and New York states as far away as the East Coast accepted this reality with mixed emotions, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.

For people who have lived in a civilized society for a long time, the days ruled by the monkeys of the Moro Kingdom can simply be described as hell. Manhattan Island has become a place that everyone yearns for. At least the Star Ring trade soldiers stationed there are very disciplined and will not spit on them or hit their heads with the butt of their rifles just because they look at them one more time.

Citizens in Boston and other places in upstate New York also breathed a sigh of relief.

They don’t know the secret agreement signed by Star Ring Trade and the Boston Consortium, and they don’t know why Star Ring Trade has been selectively ignoring them. They only know that now they finally don’t have to worry about living, and those young men who are waiting on the Massachusetts border We can finally go home alive...

The war is over.

Although they lost.

The American soldiers fighting on the front lines felt betrayed, but it didn't matter.

Everyone wonders why Mike Pence, the hawkish president, can't hold on for a while.

Perhaps only Mike Pence himself knows the bitterness and hardship in his heart.

Not because of cherishing life.

But because of one person's words, he had to make such a choice...
