Chapter 508 Show Time (Happy Dragon Boat Festival~)
"The propulsion power is 50%, start the micro-curve engine, and perform a short-distance jump." Li Jie ordered to Friday using the thinking sensor in his brain in an orderly manner.
"The engine warm-up is turned on, and the power is 50 percent." The intelligent AI repeated Li Jie's order on Friday.
"Open the ground deck and get ready to attack!" Li Jie was already ready.
When his order was conveyed, on the surface of Venus that was full of scars and pits, a crack opened silently.
The originally complete surface part was divided into two parts. Then a whole piece of apron slowly rose from the ground.
Eight Viking-class fighters, two Nighthawk-class fighters, and four Banshee-class fighters are all ready.
"Start the micro-curve engine, go forward 2. Direction to the earth, Central Asia. Low-speed transition in the atmosphere. Stealth mode activated!" Under Li Jie's series of instructions, all fighter planes are ready.
Because the distance between Venus and Earth is not particularly far away (only for starships). The interstellar flight-level leap engine equipped in the fighter does not even need to contribute.
Just using the micro-curve engine is enough to make the fighter jump to the earth.
The jump engine is prepared for interstellar travel and strategic level movement. The micro-curve engine is prepared for tactical-level jumps.
After this period of running-in and scrapping countless materials, the Venus base finally has a batch of fighters that can be used.
It can be said that besides maintaining the necessary expansion and operation of the company, almost all other funds of the Dawning Company have been filled into the bottomless pit of Starfleet. And now, the gold-eating behemoth is about to start its first job.
That is to protect Tony Stark's life!
……………………
Li Jie and Tony devised a simple but effective plan. After the tripartite talks reached an agreement, Latvia and the Spear Bureau began a threatening attack on the area where the Ten Rings were located.
In order not to cause an international overreaction, the actions of China and Latvia are relatively restrained. Doom didn't do much, other than infiltrating small-scale raids on the Ten Rings in third-party deman-occupied territories through the bordering Eastern European countries.
It looks like he sent someone to kidnap Ivan Vanke in order to avenge the Mandarin. After all, Doom is a man with a vengeance, and he's famously so, and it would be strange if he didn't react.
The Mandarin didn't have a good way to deal with Dum's piecemeal attack, after all, it was impossible for him to fight fires everywhere by himself. Therefore, for a period of time, it is necessary to adopt a shrinking attitude towards Eastern Europe. Because the greater threat comes from China.
The agents of the Shenspear Bureau have begun to infiltrate the Central Asian countries, and the most important combat force [Fengshen] has begun to conduct another sweep of the three-way zone around China.
Although every offensive like the Spear Game seems to be a fake, it is impossible to really press the whole line. Because China does not have the right to speak in the world like the United States, but the Mandarin still has to guard against the stealing of chickens by the God of Spears.
So when he relaxed against Eastern Europe, he concentrated all his energy on dealing with the God Spear Bureau. As for Central Asia behind him, he doesn't think there are other countries capable of threatening him.
The Middle East and Central Asia are a mess of wars, and whoever gets caught can't get out. The United States wants to retreat, let alone others.
And all of this is a plan that Li Jie, Tony and other members of the Illuminati met and promoted. Du Mu persuaded Zheng Xian to use [Fengshen] to attract the attention of the Mandarin. It seemed that the Shenspear Bureau was a goddamn attack, but in fact it was a feint.
The real attacker is to be launched by Eastern Europe in Latvia, and Dum has already begun to dispatch troops. Because the talks this time are extremely private, no more than a dozen people in the world know about the fact that the three-party talks reached an agreement. And no one will leak the secret.
Therefore, the Mandarin is completely unaware that the Divine Spear, the Divine Shield and Latvia have reached an agreement. According to past practice, it is speculated that China and the United States are not in harmony, and Latvia is not in harmony with the five permanent members. There is no possibility of unity and cooperation between these three parties.
Especially Doom, he is a very proud person, the Mandarin would never have guessed that he would go to Tony first to seek cooperation.
Because Latvia, which is the most difficult to deal with, has been persuaded, and even the entire tripartite talks were apparently led by Dum. So the progress is very fast.
Because of the unequal information, many arrangements made by the Mandarin have also been deviated. He thought the deadly sword was coming from China, but miscalculated the form.
The sword of Eastern Europe will be sharper!
In order for Doom to stab the sword into the hearts of the Mandarin and the Ten Rings, Tony needs to do one more thing. A thing that made the Mandarin fly into a rage.
…………
S.H.I.E.L.D. Delta Wing headquarters in New York.
Hill was a little worried and said to Captain Rogers: "It doesn't matter if Tony flies to Central Asia alone?"
Compared to Hill's worries, Captain Rogers said with confidence: "Don't worry, this is just a small drill."
Because Captain Rogers knew very well that Tony Stark was not acting alone this time. Instead, there is a team of interstellar fleets beyond this era to escort him. If something really happened, Li Jie and the professor could completely save Tony. Even if you encounter the siege of the Mandarin and his most powerful men, if you really can't beat it, you can still go to the universe.
Even if the Mandarin is physically powerful, Rogers does not believe that he can break through the atmosphere alone, and then he can still jump alive in the vacuum.
So Captain Rogers told Hill to put his heart back in his stomach.
…………
While in Latvia, Dum sat on the top floor of his castle overlooking the Latvian capital. He seemed a little puzzled by the fact that Tony Stark was willing to be the bait.
Although he doesn't think Tony is so smart, he also admits that Tony Stark is not an idiot. He must have a plan, or something to rely on. Otherwise, a person with a battle armor, and ran to the mandarin's lair like this, that would be courting death!
Then he thought of another person he had seen, and that was Li Jie, the Night Walker. This person has always given him a feeling that he can't see through, his thoughts and thoughts are so escaped every time, beyond people's guess and grasp of him.
From the first time I saw him lead people to trouble me in Dongyang, and then there was a conflict in hell. The two had a fierce confrontation.
But when Doom proposed to kill the Mandarin, and even cooperate with Tony, he also changed very quickly. He even went a step further and proposed that instead of simply killing the Mandarin, he would completely eradicate the Ten Commandments Gang.
He is determined to wipe out a top terrorist organization that has been rampant in this world for sixty or seventy years in one go. What on earth gave him the guts to do this?
In addition, although the plan in the three-party talks was apparently proposed by Dum, in fact, Dom and Tony knew that the earliest birth of this plan was the idea proposed by Li Jie and Dum during the video conference.
He is obviously just a street hero, but in terms of strength, Dum doesn't believe that Nightcrawler can match the Mandarin. It is even more impossible to compare with Tony and himself in terms of financial resources and power.
It looks like he is an ordinary hero who is harmless to humans and animals, although he cares a bit too much. But if you think about it in retrospect, Dum finds that this seemingly innocuous Nightcrawler is secretly manipulating the world.
In every general trend and force, he can always find the most suitable point to insert in, and change the direction of the whole incident with four or two tricks.
Just like the tripartite talks this time, the top armed forces of China, the United States and Latin America seem to be their own choices. But in fact, it is the secret pusher of Nightcrawler. A few simple pushers mobilized the power of two superpowers and one regional power.
People say: times make heroes. But it's not like heroes make heroes. A seemingly inconspicuous little character has the ability to stir up the world.
Doom has grown to appreciate Nightcrawler. Dum has never disliked those who have a temper and personality, as long as the other party has the ability to match his temper, then he is qualified to do all kinds of unruly things.
And Nightcrawler is clearly that kind of person. It's not the kind of person who shouts passionate slogans and tries to turn the world around with his own power, or even simply thinks that relying on his own personal ability can coerce the world and change the world.
If it is so easy to succeed by overwhelming others, why have Mandarin failed for decades? Why didn't Ancient One become the master of the earth (although Ancient One himself didn't want to be)?
Nightcrawler knew exactly what his strengths were, and he used them silently. Leveraging strength to fight, long-sleeved and good at dancing. What Doom knew about Nightcrawler was not even a third of what Nightcrawler did.
If he knew all of Nightcrawler's plans clearly, his jaw would probably drop in shock. But just what he knew was enough to make him look up to Nightcrawler.
Picking up the tall crystal cup beside him, a smile appeared under Dum's iron mask: "Nightcrawler? How many interesting changes can you bring to this world?"
……………………
Central Asia, Afghanistan, Kandahar Province.
Tony Stark's black gold armor is soaring at an altitude of 50,000 meters above this land.
"Where are you now?" Tony turned on the communicator and began to contact Li Jie who was far away on Venus. He is not stupid, before the fleet of bodyguards behind him appeared, he would not just launch an attack on several bases of the Ten Rings in Afghanistan.
When Tony had just finished asking this sentence, his artificial intelligence AI Jarvis had already reminded him: "Sir, top of your head."
The monitor of the Iron Armor caught a flash of signal fluctuations, and fourteen fully armed starfighters jumped directly into the atmosphere, and all entered the stealth state in less than a second without a trace.
This kind of cross-age interstellar warship shows that they are technologically overwhelmed by modern human society. When they jumped into the earth in an instant, no radar network or Sky Eye satellite of any country in the world detected them.
If Tony hadn't obtained the technology of these battleships and improved his armor, he probably wouldn't have noticed the signal fluctuation that just passed away.
"It's right above your head!" The fighter plane controlled by Li Jie stayed at an altitude of about 10,000 meters above Tony, and the fighter plane's radar clearly caught the signal of Tony's armor.
"Okay, Iron Man, it's your turn. To avenge the naked running in New York! Go and turn the Ten Rings gang upside down!" Li Jie teased in the communicator.
"Fuck you! I'm for world peace!" Tony didn't think what Li Jie said was funny at all. He spent a lot of money to settle the matter.
"Nighthawk's radar has captured an abnormal signal, which is very similar to the information Doom provided to the Ten Rings. It looks like their special communication base station!" Professor Charles, who is in charge of weapons and radar, interrupted the teasing between the two, he said: "It's on the ground in the direction of seven o'clock from you, about fifteen kilometers away from you, Tony!"
Hearing what Professor Charles said, Tony was ready to attack: "Then it's time for Iron Man to perform! Nightcrawler, protect my back!"
After Tony shouted, he flew towards the signal source with full power.
It's time for Iron Man's performance!
