Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

When people are completely desperate and killing each other, no one pays attention to the real problem.

Unfortunately, the recovery plan of the Griffin team went awry and the mission was not accomplished, so the plan to restore the city's functions was aborted.

They were all smart people, and after Raphael spoke directly, the SEAL soldiers on the SDVT assault carrier shut up.

If they continue talking, someone will probably cause trouble for them.

Maybe send them to a war zone and assign them a high-risk mission while selling some information to armed insurgents.

In this way, all the insiders are gone.

For them, life is still long and there are still several decades left. There is no need to risk their lives for some "small things". It is not worth it.

"Well, that's it, Philip. We'll contact you if there's anything next time." Raphael yawned, leaned against the side of the boat and fell asleep.

Cecilia held Raphael's arm and held tightly to the fixed handle welded on the centerline of the hull with her right hand.

"Cecilia, don't worry, Philip is a very good driver."

The girl closed her eyes and explained: "They not only received formal combat training, but also learned how to drive a boat, how to drive a boat well, and how to keep the hull stable while driving at high speed."

"is it?"

"Yes. If they are not stable, they will not be able to keep the heavy firepower in front and on both sides firing in a stable state, and they will not be able to assist their companions on the shore."

Hearing Raphael's affirmation, Philip smiled and said, "Miss Raphael, why don't you join us?"

"do not want!"

After receiving a decisive rejection, Philip was not discouraged and continued to talk about how good their place was, but Raphael remained unmoved.

Chapter 107: Revenge War

It doesn't feel good at all to lie on the workbench and let others manipulate your body.

"Okay, raise your hands... the test is normal, put them down."

The engineer's words revealed indifference. In his eyes, this was just a piece of iron that imitated a human girl very well.

Raphael lowered his arms, said nothing, and looked quietly at the ceiling painted pure white.

Her legs had been removed because it was time to replace them. Seven or eight researchers gathered around the two mechanical legs without the bionic skin, reading the data and verifying their ideas.

I don’t know how DARPA will deal with her. Maybe they will replace her with a better body?

do not know.

Harry B. Carnegie just made basic inquiries and sent her to the factory for repairs. Harry didn't say a word about anything else.

However, the people who studied the pair of scrapped mechanical legs came to a unanimous answer, that is, the design of the lower limbs was too delicate, and their materials could not withstand the impact of the total weight of the bionic man himself and the carrying equipment.

But delicacy is a must, otherwise the bionic humanoid will have balance problems. Unless a tracked chassis is directly installed on the humanoid, but in that case, what is the need for a humanoid upper body?

Then why not just make an unmanned autonomous tank?

By then, it will be able to carry more powerful weapons, such as turning the M120A1 with a 2mm tank gun into an autonomous tank, or something more deterrent.

It’s a pity that they currently only have this one mature AI individual, which can’t even copy and paste.

The reverse-engineering work on the relics is still ongoing, and the problem facing everyone is still that of quality.

The body is almost complete. The bionic man named "Raphael" has been engaged in high-intensity activities in New York for two months, which is enough to prove that there are no problems with manufacturing.

"Your new body will be offline tomorrow. Have a sweet dream." After saying this, the engineer cut off the external energy supply to Raphael's body.

The girl's pupils dilated immediately and the rise and fall of her chest stopped.

Before leaving the laboratory, the man took one last look at the "girl" lying on the repair table.

What a pity, why isn’t it a real “person”?

……

On November 2026, 11, the last case of COVID-24 was declared cured. On the same day, President Waller gave a speech to all Americans on television.

He said that although the eight-month-long crisis ended with a relatively ideal outcome, the federal government and all American citizens paid a heavy price in the process.

At least 50 people in New York died due to lack of timely medical treatment, at least 100 million people died indirectly due to the blockade policy, and more than 200 million people were struggling on the line between life and death. Even today, many surviving refugees have been declared rescue failures due to their serious injuries.

In the eyes of the federal government, the incident was a premeditated massacre, and Waller publicly stated that government officials at both the New York State and New York City levels should bear primary responsibility.

Then he announced the mobilization of U.S. troops under the European Theater Command to a state of combat readiness, make war plans, and retaliate against a small country on the Mediterranean coast that launched the virus attack.

He was a complete warmongerer, but this move did shift people's attention to the outside world and provided an object for venting their anger.

Waller and his staff are quite good at framing people.

This was all the information Raphael got from his phone about the past few months after he woke up.

Oh, no, in April, the Battle of Mosul ended successfully. The war that started on October 4 last year was finally declared over on April 10.

The entire battle took six months, and the coalition forces finally liberated Mosul after suffering more than 6 casualties.

This is good news.

But along with the good news, Raphael also had worse news.

While the Iraqis were defeating the terrorist forces, a strike group centered on the USS Truman aircraft carrier appeared near the waters of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea, fully armed and with obvious signs of an attack.

The very next day after waking up, that is, on November 11, Raphael unexpectedly received a recall order.

Chief Harry said to ignore the emergency recall order issued by the Third Fleet Command to all personnel on leave, as it was obvious that this was a mobilization before the war.

She didn't expect that DARPA had not yet canceled the fake identity, so she used the identification number on her ID to log into the military system.

Because her identity is set as a CIC electromagnetic countermeasure officer of the surface ship force, she can check the movements of "her" fleet.

The aircraft carrier strike group with the Nimitz as its core is rapidly advancing towards the Mediterranean and is about to enter the Suez Canal.

Based on the movements of these two strike groups, it shows that the Navy is rapidly replenishing personnel and urgently deploying the strike groups in training to fill the gap left by the two aircraft carriers.

"Ah... so shady..." Raphael looked at the various messages popping up on his phone, "They chose the scapegoat so quickly."

Things have come to this point, which means the war has actually begun.

She had already thought of the two Tier-1 special forces under the Joint Special Operations Command that had already infiltrated the scapegoats, with targets including but not limited to various military and civilian facilities.

Dismember the target from all aspects, and then use victory to tell the Americans that the Waller government and army are capable enough to protect them.

While Raphael contacted Cecilia and asked her to help find April Kelleher, he kept paying attention to the situation and continued to watch the show.

Time advanced to the 27th, and the war finally broke out.

In front of the camera, Waller formally signed the combat order, and the US Air Force immediately launched the operation on the same day.

While she was enjoying the melon, the 101st Airborne Division completed its emergency deployment. At the same time, two squadrons of F-15E attack aircraft took off from the mainland and moved to an air force base in the Persian Gulf.

Raphael knew that the protagonist in the sky at this time was not the fighter plane, but the Air Force transport plane.

In order to ensure that personnel could be deployed as soon as possible, the Military Air Transport Command mobilized all active and National Guard transport aircraft. Even so, by the 29th, the US military's transport force was still unable to meet the existing demand.

As a result, Air Transport Command called up the Civilian Reserve Air Transport Force.

I really put in a lot of effort to put on this big show in front of all the Americans.

The TV news was full of images of aircraft carriers catapulting planes. The sight of fighter jets taking off loaded with bombs really cheered up many pessimistic people.

The public's pent-up anger over the complete destruction of New York was directed entirely at the country chosen as the "enemy."

Raphael has been living in the dormitory provided by DARPA during this period, wrapped in a warm quilt and watching from the sidelines. She vaguely feels that the world has entered a new era of chaos and disorder.

Chapter 108 The shock brought by the Russian bear in the new century

Just as the US military was doing its best in the Mediterranean, an anti-Russian movement suddenly broke out in five Eastern European countries.

The Russians reacted very quickly and showed amazing synchronization this time. There was almost no opposition jumping out, and they were extremely united.

The Russian army quickly expanded its military strength, recalled veterans, and expanded the size of the volunteer army. At the same time, it inspected and refurbished the heavy equipment stored in the warehouse, and was determined to kill those fools in Eastern Europe who jumped into the fight and caused friction on the border.

In March of the following year, the Russians announced that in view of the continued provocations and large-scale bloody conflicts on the border by the five Eastern European countries, the "Special Military Operation - Romanov" would be launched immediately.

On March 3, 3 Russian divisions entered Eastern Europe, first attacking Estonia and Latvia, and then Lithuania.

People were horrified to find that the steel torrent of the Soviet era was actually being unleashed by a weak Russia.

The armored division with the name of "Guards" rushed forward recklessly. As long as they rushed forward, the gaps left behind would be immediately filled by the follow-up troops and then deployed sideways.

In just 7 days, Estonia collapsed. Latvia was still holding on, but everyone knew that they were about to be finished.

Ukraine, located on the Black Sea coast, was ready to make a move. They believed that the Russians' attention was all on the five Eastern European countries, and now was a good time to stab them in the back. They immediately sent troops north and launched a military offensive against Belarus.

Belarus:?

The act of launching a war without declaration made the Russians extremely angry, but they did not lose their mind. While maintaining the offensive posture on the Eastern Front, they withdrew some troops from the front line to provide reinforcements, and then transferred combat troops from the Far East Military District.

The Russian military expansion continues.

In fact, there was public opposition to the decision to send troops directly to the five Eastern European countries, but after Ukraine's outrageous actions, it instead aroused the hatred of the Russians.

Although the Russian troops in the Ukrainian direction suffered successive defeats, they stubbornly resisted wave after wave of attacks from the Ukrainian army, and then gradually retreated as planned.

It was not until reinforcements arrived from the Eastern Front that the Russian army stabilized the southern front.

During this period, the southern front fought back and forth with both sides winning and losing, but the Ukrainian army was firmly pinned down by the Russian army and made no progress.

In July of that year, the United Nations General Assembly initiated a resolution to sanction Russia over the "Special Military Operation - Romanov". The General Assembly voted to pass the resolution, but because Russia was the rotating chair in July, it vetoed the resolution.

After the UN sanctions resolution failed to pass, the US Camp David announced a unilateral sanctions order under the pretext of interfering in the Syrian civil war, the human rights issue, the Ukrainian crisis and the Eastern European crisis.

In July, Western countries including the United Kingdom and the United States collectively "took sides" and expelled more than 7 Russian diplomats, while freezing and confiscating Russia's assets in these countries.

The European Union quickly followed suit, and then they were surprised to find that the Russians had taken the initiative to cut off the cheap energy delivered by several Nord Stream project pipelines.

A few days after the energy supply was cut off, even more shocking news came: all Nord Stream project pipelines were damaged and ruptured and could no longer be used.

This has completely severed the ties, and Europe and the Russians have effectively decoupled.

Raphael saw many Germans complaining on the Internet that their heating bills continued to rise, and many people were privately chopping firewood to prepare for the coming cold winter.

Natural gas is the lifeblood of industry. It is not only a high-quality fuel, but also a very important chemical raw material.

It can be used to produce ammonia, methanol and its processed products formaldehyde, acetic acid, ethylene, acetylene, dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, nitromethane and carbon black.

It can also replace coal and be used for factory heating, production boilers, thermal power plant gas turbines, as well as heating and daily needs of ordinary people.

When Europe loses this cheap, clean energy, their products will lose competitiveness in the international market at an alarming rate.

Not long after the hard decoupling, the Russians completed the "Special Military Operation-Romanov" plan on the battlefields of five countries on the Eastern Front.

Five Eastern European countries signed the Minsk Treaty, under which they disbanded their independent national defense armed forces, with Russia being responsible for national defense and security, and only retaining armed police forces.

Now things are getting fun, as the barbarians in the north have finally mobilized some manpower.

The Russians, who had gained sufficient combat experience from the Eastern Front, moved south at an unprecedented speed and began to counterattack simultaneously in the directions of Belarus and Kharkov.

尽管乌军收到了许多援助，但大多都是上世纪60、70年代生产的T-62M1、T-72B之类的老旧货色，要不就是馅大皮薄的AMX30、AMX10、爆1A1之类的坦克。

Poland also sent over their stockpile of M113 armored vehicles, all for free.

Thank you for helping us clear our inventory.jpg

……

During this year and more, the battles in Europe and West Asia were in full swing, but DARPA did not keep Raphael busy. It only asked her to assist in carrying out some routine administrative affairs of the agency.

Because Harry found that "Raphael" was idle all day long. He was either eating and drinking or arguing with people on various forums. It even developed to the point of offline fights.

It really looks like a human.

With this in mind, he tried to arrange some simple copywriting work for her. After all, this "Internet-addicted girl" had a very good brain, and everything she read carefully would be converted into data.

She could always find the documents Harry wanted whenever he needed them.

The reason why Harry is so confident in Raphael is very simple, because the two parties have a highly bound community of interests.

No one can live without the other.

Because of the existence of "Raphael", they can obtain massive research funds from the US military, Congress, government and private foundations.

On December 28, 12, the day when the German far right won the general election, Director Harry B. Carnegie informed Raphael that the puppet body and mind extension core prepared for her by the bureau had been matched and she needed to receive it and complete the certification work.

In these two years, DARPA produced a total of 13 puppet humanoids and two host backup bodies.

The so-called thinking extension core is the product obtained by shielding some unstable modules.
