"Okay!"
Jing Mingqiu readily agreed.
At the same time, Jing Rou, who was making small cakes at home and watching the live broadcast, saw this scene and her eyes widened instantly.
The dough she was kneading lost its control and fell to the ground.
"Don't agree! Mingqiu, he wants to harm you..."
"Rourou, how is he harming me?" Jing Mingqiu suddenly climbed in through the window, flashed forward, caught the dough, and looked at Jing Rou with a smile.
Jing Rou glanced at the livestream, then at Jing Mingqiu standing in front of her, and was instantly dumbfounded.
"You, didn't you go to participate in the military exercise? How are you here?"
Jing Mingqiu smiled, placed the dough on the table, and then patted Jing Rou's little head, "Little fool, a gentleman does not stand under a tottering wall. A military exercise is such a dangerous place, I would certainly not go myself."
"But," Jing Rou pointed at Jing Mingqiu in the screen, wearing a full set of mecha and sparks flying under Atley.Sam's barrage, "you were clearly there!"
Jing Mingqiu explained with a smile, "That was just a robot. A while ago when I was researching sky-piercing rockets in the basement, he was the one who put himself out there for me..."
Hearing this, Jing Rou became a little worried, "What if you get discovered?"
"Don't worry," Jing Mingqiu pulled Jing Rou into his arms, "Last night I personally took action, spent a lot of tech points, and bought many precious materials from the system store to help him refit and upgrade."
"This is the only one of its kind in the world that can be controlled by brainwaves. It will absolutely not be discovered."
"Moreover, I also prepared a cut-down version of the robot in the exercise field to confuse things. They would never have imagined that I would use so many layers of nesting."
"Alright, we'll talk about the rest later. He's finished fighting, and I need to continue controlling this robot."
With that said, Jing Mingqiu closed his eyes, the mask automatically descended, the device activated, and his consciousness was transferred back to the exercise site.
"How about that? Are you convinced now?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the gun in your hand is the latest L599 rifle from the Beautiful Country. Both its firing rate and power are significantly stronger than the L566 rifle currently equipped by infantry. It couldn't even harm the simplified mecha on my body, let alone the enhanced versions equipped by those soldiers."
Atley.Sam was speechless from the retort. He wanted to stand up and shout that the one on Jing Mingqiu was specially made and no one else had such high intensity.
However, seeing Jing Mingqiu's confident demeanor, he opened his mouth several times but dared not shout.
He had already lost enough face today. If he lost again, he truly wouldn't have the face to stay here.
After careful consideration, Atley.Sam changed his angle: "Heh, it's just a mecha. It can block bullets, but can it withstand artillery shells?"
Jing Mingqiu raised an eyebrow, "Can it withstand them? We'll only know after we fight!"
"Then let's have a good fight!"
As both sides returned to their positions, the battle reignited.
This time, the Beautiful Country's infantry did not lead the charge but retreated behind the tanks, letting the tanks take the vanguard.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Beautiful Country's tanks had barely moved a few steps when they ran over the anti-tank mines secretly laid by the Dragon Country. Their tracks immediately broke, and they lost their mobility.
The tank commanders were prepared for this situation. While arranging for people to repair the tracks, they peered out of the windows to observe their surroundings and avoid being ambushed.
The infantry following behind the tanks gathered around, guarding their surroundings!
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
A storm of gunfire erupted from all directions. The surrounding Beautiful Country troops were mowed down like wheat, and a large area instantly fell.
They hastily counterattacked. The bullets that hit the Dragon Country soldiers only left a string of sparks on their mechas, having no other effect.
The Beautiful Country's tanks quickly rotated their turrets. Just as they locked onto the positions of the Dragon Country soldiers, before they could even fire, the Dragon Country soldiers had already quickly retreated, leaving only bullet-riddled branches to tell others that they had been there.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy halts, we harass; when the enemy is weary, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.
The Dragon Country had brought the essence of guerrilla warfare to its extreme.
After more than two hours, although the Beautiful Country's tanks were mostly still combat-capable, their infantry had been wiped out.
At this time, the Dragon Country's military command post was about to be exposed within the firing range of the Beautiful Country's tanks.
"Heh," Atley.Sam sneered, "Jing Mingqiu, your little tricks are over now."
"Now, as long as our Beautiful Country's tank army bypasses this small hill, we can smash your command post and win this competition."
"Is that so?"
Jing Mingqiu said nothing to confirm or deny. He pointed to the big screen, giving him a look that said, "You see for yourself."
Atley.Sam glanced in the direction Jing Mingqiu was pointing at the real-time battle feed. The smug expression on his face instantly froze.
"What? How is this possible! Our bombers had already destroyed the Dragon Country's tanks along with the anti-air positions. You cheated, you used troops outside the rules."
"You're not mistaken, our tanks were indeed destroyed. However, who said mechas cannot turn into tanks?"
After speaking, Jing Mingqiu turned around潇洒ly and strode away.
After the Beautiful Country's crushing defeat, the Cherry Blossom Country was unwilling and attacked again, suffering another bitter defeat.
Other countries, not daring to confront the Dragon Country any further, found excuses to withdraw.
Thus, this large-scale twenty-nation military exercise officially came to a close.
The Beautiful Country, which had originally declared mechas to be mere toys and intended to teach the Dragon Country a lesson, was instead severely taught a lesson by the Dragon Country.
Thirty-six of their main combat aircraft were destroyed, resulting in a loss of over two billion US dollars.
Their subsequent ground forces were further toyed with by the Dragon Country's mecha forces, losing all face.
Beautiful Country, White House.
After listening to Atley.Sam's report, the President, uncharacteristically, did not get angry. Instead, he frowned and paced back and forth.
"Atley, the downing of our fighter jets had nothing to do with the secret weapon Jing Mingqiu mentioned. Those fireworks were just to confuse us. The real core is their radar system."
"That's right," Atley.Sam nodded vigorously, "According to relevant experts, the Dragon Country has now cracked the stealth coating of the g11 stealth fighter. Our fighter jets have lost their stealth capabilities in front of them."
The President nodded slowly, "This is not a big problem. The g12 stealth fighter has already been successfully developed. With the large number of g11 fighters crashing, it's a perfect opportunity to replace them all. Then, we can hold an air show and beat the Dragon Country, not only regaining our lost face but also seizing the opportunity to sell more arms."
Hearing this, Atley.Sam's heart relaxed, and just as he was about to flatter the President, the President's expression turned serious.
"However, Atley, the mechas are so powerful! Ten years ago, our country had already researched mechas. Why did you abandon them all? Why didn't you continue the research!"
