Chapter 620 Test Flight

"Put on your helmet, be careful not to bite your tongue, get ready, my good boy." Mao patted Cruz's helmet.

Cruz raised his thumb and entered Suzaku.

Start.

Cruz gritted his teeth, enduring the pain of his spirit and Suzaku merging into one. Then he saw Mao standing on the edge of the runway with her cap pressed down to cheer him on, with colorful petals piled up like a small mountain behind her.

Reformat.

Cruz got Mao's support and was full of fighting spirit. And he was also very excited about the great feat he was about to accomplish. He might be the only one to complete a trip around the world in eight minutes.

Suzaku changed.

Able to fold up and down its wings, Suzaku's body suddenly shrank to only five meters, turning into a strange fixed-wing bird, but the color became more fiery red, and Suzaku turned into a Suzaku fighter.

Without the jet, it was doubtful that this shrunken Suzaku fighter could not fly that fast.

"Is Cruz ready?"

"No problem."

"You can only rely on yourself after you go up to the sky. Take your time. This is just a test flight. Be careful."

"Understood."

"Then let's go."

With Tessa's order.

Cruz started up, and the flames surrounded the Suzaku fighter.

The flame pattern on the Suzaku fighter suddenly came alive, and a circular array on the abdomen rotated rapidly, driving the scarlet blood and fire that wrapped the Suzaku fighter.

Dinisha once again innovated what she learned very brilliantly and designed a mecha that integrated the engine and the body. Now the mecha is the engine, and the engine is the mecha.

All the flames on the Suzaku fighter are not ordinary flames, but high-concentration particles. They will drive the body to make that impossible flight.

"Let's go!" Cruz just spoke, and his whole body was pressed on the seat. Through the picture sent back by the Suzaku fighter, he found that he was too fast. In just a blink of an eye, he could no longer see the base behind him.

The onlookers also stared blankly at the trace of fire left on the runway. The messy petals were blown up again by the strong airflow and fluttered away.

Raised altitude, 8,000 meters.

A blood mark was left in the sky, like a wound in the sky.

"So fast." Mao didn't expect the Suzaku fighter to be so fast, but at the same time he began to worry about Cruz, wondering if he could hold on.

The ground staff took their positions and began to monitor the altitude and speed of the Suzaku.

Everyone was very nervous, but Denise was relaxed. She felt that whether this plan could succeed was only a 50-50 chance. Because the requirements for the pilot were too high, although Cruz was very good, he was just a normal person, and it was common sense if he could not succeed.

In a short time, he felt like a year.

Cruz flew at high speed, but not everyone welcomed him. In five days, Duran also won over a group of small countries that were fence-sitters. These small countries learned that Mithril was going to conduct a test flight and prepared ground-to-air missiles to welcome him.

But Cruz flew too fast, and the missiles could only eat dust behind him.

But this also reminds everyone that plans are not as fast as changes, and it is better to be careful in everything. The Suzaku fighter flew quickly, and Cruz's eyes had a hard time distinguishing objects in the air. But the estimated trajectory was correct. If he did this, he could penetrate Shushan from the west of the air fortress and then stop in the Pacific Ocean.

"What is the speed?"

"200 Mach."

The ground staff said, and this number made Tessa sigh. Is it still not okay? Even with the super ancient technology like Suzaku, it is not something that ordinary people can control. "Wait until Sergeant Cruz lands, let him rest first."

Tessa wanted to find Denise to discuss countermeasures and see if she had any other good ways to get Cruz to 300 Mach.

Denise was drinking tea in the common room. Everyone else went to work, so it was empty.

"Denise."

"Tessa?" Denise drank a little hot tea, raised her head and continued: "What's wrong? Cruz is back."

"His speed is not enough." Tessa said dejectedly.

"That's not surprising. The speed of 300 Mach is indeed not something that ordinary people can achieve. Even if Cruz is very talented, there is not enough time to train him. If it still doesn't work the day after tomorrow, we can only let the Self-Defense Forces launch a destructive attack on Tokyo." Denise said leisurely, looking like she was leaving it to fate.

"Denise, is there really no other way?" Tessa felt that if that happened, Japan would be too pitiful.

"This is no longer something we can decide. We have done everything we can. It is Japan's business after all, and it is their own choice."

"But..."

Perhaps because Tessa's pitiful appearance was very cute, Denise decided to tell her: "Since Taotie has completed the actual control of Tokyo, then there is only war. This is no longer a dispute, but a matter of a country's face. This time, even if Mithril drives Taotie out of Tokyo, Japan's international reputation will plummet. It is better to let them save their own face. Then there will be a place for them in the international community, otherwise they will only be a laughing stock."

“…”But the injured are still civilians. Tessa couldn’t bear it, but Denise’s words made sense. The international situation is turbulent. Even the opinions of the Mithril upper echelons are not unified. Not everyone is willing to get involved. But considering the attitude of the United States, the Mithril upper echelons finally agreed to Denise’s plan. If it fails, perhaps Mithril will never intervene in this matter again.

But Tessa also knows that since Mithril has now reported the plan, if it fails, it will be a loud slap in the face of their organization. Especially the Western Pacific Force, maybe the upper echelons will directly disband their own team. Let Taotie occupy the most important country in the Western Pacific and become the king. In this way, what other countries in the Western Pacific will be convinced by Mithril? This sin can only be resisted by Tessa. So Tessa is under a lot of pressure.

“It seems that we can only follow God’s will.” Without getting a satisfactory answer from Denise, Tessa could only accept her fate.

“Don’t worry, it’s not the end yet. Cruz may not fail. He has a good talent. There are still two days, maybe he can succeed.” Denise comforted. A teen-year-old kid must become a colonel just because he is a Whisperer. It is true that with great ability comes great responsibility. Denise thought that maybe this failure would be better for Tessa, at least she would have a chance to leave the war.

Besides, Denise knew that since Duran wanted to slap the face of the Western world, the Japanese incident was just the beginning. Even if Mithril succeeded this time, he would not succeed next time, because the only country that could defeat Duran was China, which was the most important step for him to establish the prestige of a unified China. As for Mithril, don't even think about defeating him. There is no possibility at all.
