Colonel Vassilyevich has arrived?
Sun Cheng was somewhat surprised. These russians were bolder than he had expected.
Although the battle on his side had ended, they hadn't informed the other side yet. However, these russians decided to come over on their own.
"It seems that I underestimated these russians. They probably have other surveillance methods to monitor this military port!"
He thought of arranging his subordinates to investigate further, but then he hesitated and dismissed the idea. Sun Cheng wasn't ignorant of politics. Although he seemed to cooperate quite well with the russians, he was still an extraterrestrial mechanical lifeform. It would be strange for the russians to let him roam freely within their country.
It was reasonable for them to do something behind his back to prevent him from betraying them.
Even if he found out, it wouldn't matter much because he hadn't planned to harm the Polar Bear from the very beginning. It was one of the few good cards he had.
"I understand. Let him come!"
After the military port was handed over to the Decepticons, the defense tasks here were also assigned to them. Currently, there were no civilians left in North Dovinsk.
In this huge city, apart from the russians' contact point and fire department, even the garrison had been moved to nearby areas.
At this point, even if the russians wanted to enter the military port, they had to inform the Decepticons in advance. Otherwise, the thousands of combat robots deployed around the military port would be enough to keep them staring outside in dismay.
"Yes!"
Forerunner, who had taken over the defense and management of the North Dovinsk sub-base, responded. With a remote command, the battle robots blocking Colonel Vassilyevich's group made way, allowing their convoy to enter the military port.
Excavator, who had become more obedient compared to before, wasn't sent away, and Thunder, who was injured, wasn't rushed to repair his mechanical body. The four giant mechanical warriors, like mythical Titans, remained quietly in the port, waiting for the arrival of the russians.
They didn't have to wait long. Just three to five minutes later, two Lynx armored vehicles appeared in Sun Cheng's sight.
The Lynx referred to the Iveco LMV wheeled armored vehicles.
Iveco was one of Italy's defense equipment manufacturers. Despite Italy's poor performance during World War I and II, one shouldn't underestimate the country. After WWII, among the European countries, Italy ranked first or second in terms of land, sea, and air forces, missile and aerospace equipment, etc. It was second only to the five major rogue nations in the United Nations, and even in certain fields of equipment manufacturing, they might be slightly more advanced than some other rogue nations outside the United States.
Russia, as a major producer of heavy military equipment, wasn't lacking in various types of armored vehicles, but their performance in the field of wheeled armored vehicles was somewhat unsatisfactory.
In the past few years, during the period of relaxation between Russia and European countries, Russia had reached several military cooperation agreements with France, Britain, Germany, and Italy. For example, they negotiated with France to purchase several Mistral-class amphibious assault ships; they contacted Britain to prepare for the joint development of a new commercial aviation engine; they attempted to purchase high-power diesel engines from Germany; and they ordered a batch of Iveco LMV series wheeled armored vehicles from Italy, hoping to use them as references for their own domestic production and improvement of wheeled armored vehicles.
Sun Cheng and his group had already grasped a lot of information about the russians. They wouldn't suspect the presence of a few wheeled armored vehicles, which were widely purchased by NATO, inside Russia.
The two Lynx vehicles came to a stop not far from the four Decepticons. After the doors opened, six Russian soldiers in military uniforms stepped out. The leader had blond hair and blue eyes, and though he was middle-aged, he wasn't as chubby as most Russian men his age. He maintained a strong physique, with firm and powerful footsteps. He was none other than Colonel Vassilyevich, who was assigned by Moscow to be in charge of liaising with them.
Before he even got out of the vehicle, Colonel Vassilyevich had already noticed the fearsome Decepticons standing inside the military port.
Although Colonel Vassilyevich had interacted with these extraterrestrial guests for some time now, most of the time he had only met a Decepticon engineer dispatched by the base. He had only seen Sun Cheng and the others a few times.
As a result, Moscow had made some judgments, believing that Sun Cheng's group, this extraterrestrial force that actively befriended and cooperated with them, was likely just a small faction or defeated members of the so-called Decepticon clan.
After all, there were combat robots scattered throughout the military port, and the defense department had evaluated their combat capabilities. Although they acknowledged that these robots were an excellent combination of tank firepower and armored vehicle high-speed mobility, they were not indestructible.
At least, the russians believed that their main battle tanks and artillery units would find it difficult to destroy these combat robots, but armed helicopters would still be their nemesis in ground operations.
Based on Moscow's assessment of Sun Cheng and his group, they believed that this extraterrestrial force, which actively befriended and cooperated with them, would likely have a small number of large mechanical warriors that required heavy mechanized divisions and certain aerial forces to be destroyed.
Now, it seemed that they were wrong.
"Frenzy, we have come to visit you suddenly!"
The russians showed enough respect towards Sun Cheng.
Colonel Vassilyevich was seeing Forerunner in his new mechanical body for the first time, and Thunder was equally unfamiliar to him.
His gaze lingered on Forerunner and Thunder for a while. Seeing that the two Decepticons only glanced at him briefly before no longer paying attention to him, instead standing quietly on either side of Sun Cheng, it was clear that they were showing him deference.
He directly asked, "I wonder who these two are?"
"They are my most elite warriors, Forerunner and Thunder... Colonel, I assume you have come to inquire about the meteor that fell in the military port just now? It was indeed a Decepticon attack, but we have repelled it!" Sun Cheng vaguely mentioned Forerunner and Thunder and glossed over the details.
Although they had a deep cooperation with the russians, they were still cautious towards each other. Leaving some cards hidden would make them spend more time guessing and prevent these crafty and insatiable russians from having the energy to plot against them.
Colonel Vassilyevich wanted to ask more, but he remembered his mission and temporarily put aside his intention to inquire about the identities of the two Decepticons.
He immediately said, "Frenzy, I have come here this time because Moscow needs to assess the attacking Decepticon. I hope you can give us a detailed account of the incident. Apart from that, Prime Minister Vladimir also instructed me to ask you if the batch of electromagnetic weapons we ordered has been completed?"
