Chapter 322: Loved by the People
Not long after, the detailed battle report was delivered to the Shizhou Governor's Office by the garrison commander Chang Dalu.
As soon as Chang Dalu came in, he fell to the ground and burst into tears: "Governor, it's not that I'm incompetent! It's that traitor who has a plane!"
"There's a plane?"
Gu Xuanli felt incredible. In his impression, the rebels were a group of low-class people who did not have any advanced weapons except rifles and grenades.
Even the Shizhou Governor's Office only recently acquired such a high-end war tool as an airplane.
Chang Dalu hurriedly presented the video he had filmed, and several of his confidants brought a projector and hung up a screen.
The picture starts with an empty sky, but soon the photographer adjusts the lens and a helicopter appears in view.
The photographer continued to zoom in because the helicopter was going too fast and the lens couldn't keep up unless the field of view was widened.
It rose straight up from the canyon into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in just 2-3 seconds.
“This… isn’t right!”
Kuangren Qiao has a deep understanding of weapons and even worked under the empire's chief weapons scientist, Hai Damo.
He saw the problem immediately.
“This is rising so fast.”
"Is this the Empire's latest model? How come I didn't know about it?"
He felt uneasy and said, "Governor, please tell Mr. Tongfei."
Gu Xuanli glanced at them and asked, "Is it necessary?"
Crazy Joe said, "It's necessary."
Gu Xuanli smiled and said, "It seems you guys care a lot. Then connect with Mr. Fei."
The video call was quickly connected, and a thin, scholar-looking man appeared in the video.
"Governor Gu," he said coldly, "What's going on? I'm studying critical collisions..."
He suddenly changed his tone, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
Gu Xuanli smiled and said, "Mr. Fei, don't worry. You are the chief weapons expert of the Qin Group. We have a combat video of a new type of weapon and would like you to identify it."
Mr. Fei's expression looked better then. He turned around and sat right in front of the camera.
"Let's get started."
A guard immediately continued the playback.
The camera swung around in the air for a moment, and a voice shouted, "Over there!"
The camera quickly moved to capture the helicopter again, but it was upside down, with the propellers pointing down, diving towards the ground at an astonishing speed.
"Huh?"
Mr. Fei snorted lightly, his expression became serious, and he stared at the screen.
Seeing this, Gu Xuanli immediately shouted, "Put Mr. Fei's camera straight. Don't allow it to shake at all. Do you understand?"
Crazy Joe immediately ran over and held the camera on the table.
But Mr. Fei on the other side of the camera ignored the Governor's goodwill. He stared at the camera, watching the upside-down helicopter dive towards the canyon at an unimaginable speed.
At the same time, a red dot with a long trail of white smoke rushed up at an extremely fast speed, attracting everyone's attention.
"It's the 'Red Eye' Type 3 individual air defense missile."
Mr. Fei on the other side of the screen said coldly, "With a maximum speed of 570 meters per second and an effective range of 5 kilometers, it has excellent tracking capabilities. If nothing unexpected happens, this helicopter should be unable to escape."
Everyone held their breath and watched as the missile rapidly approached the helicopter from the lower right.
Just when everyone thought it was going to be destroyed, the helicopter suddenly drew a graceful semicircle in the air in a way beyond common sense.
This kind of action is unheard of. Even a fighter jet can't do such a smooth tailswing, let alone a helicopter?
Everyone in the office was shocked. Even people who didn't know much about military affairs could see the incredibleness of this action.
"The key is force." Mr. Fei stared at the camera and muttered, "Where does the force for turning come from?"
In the picture, the missile passed by, but due to its advanced guidance system, it quickly turned and continued to rush towards the helicopter.
The helicopter accelerated its dive, its speed getting faster and faster until the sonic boom cloud appeared. The white shock wave made the helicopter look like it came out of a misty fairyland.
The pure white smoke at that moment made the helicopter, which looked a little funny because of its upside-down flight, become sacred.
The sonic boom cloud lasted only a very short moment, but its backward flying posture was no longer funny in the eyes of everyone, but became natural, as if helicopters were supposed to fly backwards.
"Breaking the sound barrier..." Mr. Fei whispered to himself.
The office was silent, and everyone was staring at the screen intently.
Although exceeding the speed of sound, the helicopter is still slower than the missile.
The missile slowly approached it until only ten meters separated them.
At this time, the helicopter was very close to the bunker.
At supersonic speeds, hundreds of meters can be covered in less than a second.
But in the instant before the collision, the helicopter suddenly turned over, rose to the maximum, and passed over the bunker in an elegant curve like a swan.
However, the anti-aircraft missile crashed into the bunker, blowing the defensive fortification located in a dangerous place into pieces.
"Why is this happening?" Mr. Fei thought to himself. "The Red Eye's guidance system should have reacted correctly. Why did it crash into the bunker like it was out of control?"
Then, the helicopter climbed rapidly at an unimaginable speed and disappeared into the clouds in a few seconds.
Mr. Fei's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he stared at the screen in silence.
A few seconds later, the helicopter emerged from the clouds again, dived into the canyon, and launched five missiles in an incredible manner, blowing up five bunkers.
The camera shakes, the helicopter moves farther and farther away, and the rising scene is lost.
Apparently, the cameraman escaped in an SUV.
Gu Xuanli snorted coldly: "You run quite fast."
Chang Dalu was sweating profusely. He had never expected that this video would expose him. He should have cut this part out earlier.
The camera was not turned back to the helicopter until the cameraman ran to a safe enough location.
Just in time to see the last scene, a dozen rockets followed by a helicopter blew up the last fortress in the same way as before.
The video ended here. Gu Xuanli glanced at Chang Dalu coldly, and the moment he turned his head, his expression became friendly.
"Mr. Fei..."
Mr. Fei seemed to wake up from his deep thoughts and asked, "Governor Gu, can you give me a copy of this video?"
"certainly."
Gu Xuanli smiled and immediately ordered, "Go, quickly make a copy of the video and send it to Mr. Fei."
"Yes!" Kuang Ren Qiao picked up the videotape and rushed out.
Mr. Fei said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Governor."
Gu Xuanli smiled gently and said, "That's right, it's as it should be."
Mr. Fei continued, "From the footage just now, this helicopter appears to be a Cobra-21, but it's not actually any model I'm familiar with. Its performance defies common sense. It's clearly a product of secret laboratory research and development."
Gu Xuanli didn't care about the data or model, he only cared about which side it belonged to.
"Mr. Fei, which side of the empire is most likely to have this kind of weapon?"
Mr. Fei said coldly: "If I didn't know very well that there were no such weapons in the group, I would have thought it was produced by the group."
Gu Xuanli smiled awkwardly and said, "Just kidding, Mr. Fei."
Mr. Fei continued: "The second possibility is that it is from the First Weapons Research Institute of the Empire. Perhaps Heidamer has made a breakthrough and created this incredible super helicopter."
Zhang Shuangcheng asked curiously, "But, Mr. Fei, how is it achieved? Where does it get its power? It's difficult for a helicopter rotor to generate such high thrust."
Mr. Fei glanced at him, and there was a little warmth in his tone.
"I personally suspect that the helicopter might be equipped with a force field generator or something like that. Every movement of it makes me feel like there's an invisible force pushing it."
"As far as I know, this almost fantastical thing is only being developed by the Supreme Council. It's intended to be used as a personal weapon for their biochemical special combat units."
Chang Dalu suddenly shouted, "That's right! It's the Supreme Council! It must be the Supreme Council! Governor, this is not my fault. It was the Supreme Council that intervened in the battle..."
"Shut up, idiot!" Gu Xuanli shouted angrily.
But Mr. Fei nodded. "I also think the Council is highly suspicious. Moreover, the most suitable person to operate such a cutting-edge weapon is a biochemically modified 'Giant'."
Gu Xuanli's expression suddenly turned gloomy and dark, and he muttered to himself, "Bet on both sides?"
No one heard this.
Gu Xuanli immediately raised his head and said cautiously, "Mr. Fei, please notify Commander Qin."
The Qin Group's chief weapons expert nodded.
After a moment, a serious voice was heard from outside the screen.
"Femi, do you have something to ask me?"
Mr. Fei left the screen and moved the camera over, and Qin Gang's serious and cold face appeared in the screen.
"Hello, Commander Qin."
"It's Governor Gu." Qin Gang nodded. "Have you received the weapons?"
Gu Xuanli smiled and said, "Received. Fifty fourth-generation Spark fighters, seventy-two tanks, and a large number of the latest K-type weapons. Commander Qin really took the trouble."
Qin Gang's cheek twitched, but there was no warmth in his cold smile.
"How's the war going?"
"The rebels will be wiped out soon, and I can turn around and attack Changshan County soon. The spoils of war will be their flying sword material formula. If we get this material in our hands, it can create at least 6 billion in value every month."
"Are you in trouble?" Qin Gang asked directly. He knew very well that when Governor Gu started talking about a bright future, he was in trouble now.
Gu Xuanli recounted the Council's involvement in the war, and concluded by saying, "The rebels are causing chaos in Shizhou. Isn't it a bit excessive for the Council to intervene?"
Qin Gang snorted coldly.
"Old Yu still dares to pull such a stunt at this time. It seems that we haven't hurt him enough in Luozhou... I will mobilize all special forces and attack his base with all our might."
"If he doesn't want the giant production base he built with so much trouble, then let him fight on your land."
Gu Xuanli was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Commander Qin."
"You're welcome."
Qin Gang said coldly.
"Destroy the bandits as quickly as possible. I will assist you in the attack on Changshan County."
Gu Xuanli smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander Qin, for your concern."
After the video call ends.
Gu Xuanli's expression darkened immediately, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Qiao, immediately return the ten 'Giant' combat units sent by the Council. Tell them that we will never use such unethical and unscrupulous biological weapons."
Crazy Qiao bowed quickly:
"It's the Governor!"
