#990 - Post-war takeover (today's update is a buffer)

Italy and Türkiye are the two countries that have been hit hardest.

The ancient city had been reduced to ruins by the baptism of artillery fire. In just one night, the attack here was comparable to that of a country that had been mired in war for more than a decade. The city was completely reduced to ruins and everything was shattered.

The broken streets were littered with charred debris, and the remains of Ultron robots could be seen everywhere, their scarlet electronic eyes having long since gone out.

The regular army from Latveria arrived at dawn and took over the battlefield left by the Pilots. Riflemen wearing exoskeletons and holding electromagnetic rifles roamed the battlefield with the help of sensory-enhanced prostheses, looking for robots that might still be able to move and complete the cleanup.

Behind them, some Latvian firefighters and security personnel drove two-meter-tall engineering robots, which served as signal enhancement centers and rescue equipment to move boulders.

The Titan robots stopped at the edge of the city, where a temporary camp had been cleared for the Latvian people to use as a temporary residence. A steady stream of semi-automatic convoys transported supplies and personnel to the front line.

When the roads were completely taken over by Latvian robots and engineering teams, and a huge fleet of semi-automatic vehicles came out in droves, the EU suddenly discovered that this remote country, which was still unknown a few years ago, had turned into an alien country that seemed to have walked out of a movie.

These neatly-assembled drones, orderly transport convoys, meticulous soldiers and engineers are all mocking the self-proclaimed advanced European Union.

An advanced country that was beaten without any chance of fighting back.

Although Christopher is a member of the Royal Guard, in order to implement the strategy of defending the EU border, all the pilots, recruits, and engineers have been mobilized. There is a severe shortage of manpower, so he has to join the battle.

To be honest, when Lille made this decision, although he had no other emotions towards Lille, it was not the same for the Europeans:

Latvia is located in Eastern Europe, where wars are constantly raging. I have never heard of any European country being kind enough to help. On the contrary, there are many who take advantage of the chaos to engage in human trafficking.

Although the EU condemns this and that verbally and its laws prohibit such things, it is not so active in taking action.

For Latveria, the EU is definitely an indifferent neighbor.

However, with the coming of the war, there were no longer any arrogant and indifferent neighbors in this place. It was filled with ordinary people struggling to survive.

Click.

His Titan easily grabbed a large piece of reinforced concrete. His exoskeleton and implants gave him great strength, and he lifted the interlaced steel bars and beams:

His sensory prosthesis told him there was someone inside.

The ruins were lifted up, and in front of him was a family of four. Half of the male owner's body had been fused with the concrete, and his body was charred black, and he was no longer breathing.

His sacrifice left some living space for the hostess and two children under him, and the debris, high temperature and shock waves caused by the explosion were blocked by him.

The only thing he couldn't stop was the steel bars in the concrete, which pierced his body and his wife's.

The latter was still breathing, and the two children only had some abrasions and sprains and were temporarily in a coma.

Looking at these people, it was like looking at the Latvian people of the past. Christopher had mixed feelings:

On the one hand, he would certainly prefer to be a good guy rather than a bad guy, especially since he can save those who have had the same experience;

But on the other hand, when they were attacked, no kind-hearted people came to rescue them.

If we have to say something, we can see from some EU and UN agencies that these agencies do have relevant projects to provide humanitarian assistance, but unfortunately most of them either disappeared along the way or were intercepted by that damn lord.

Maybe some people are kind-hearted saints, but unfortunately their help can never save those in need.

While the Titans were holding on to the rubble, he took out the two children and at the same time called a medical team over the network to rescue their mother.

".At least he is a good person, maybe he is a good person"

[Christopher: Your Majesty, the post-war cleanup of the ground has been completed well. What should we do next? ]

[Lille: I have uploaded the blueprints to the engineering department to build fortresses and air defense networks in the sea and land borders; the combat troops will be stationed on the spot, and I will descend to the supply altitude nearby to prepare for the next attack.]

Christopher was stunned: But this is the territory of Türkiye and Italy?

Thinking of this, he instinctively looked towards the shelter not far away. The Turkish President was inside, like a headless fly, looking for his staff.

To be honest, he totally despised these leaders, who showed their ugly side in such situations: whether they were helpless and at a loss, or hesitant and indecisive without staff, they were extremely weak in both ability and attitude.

But they just build military bases in other countries?

Of course, thinking a lot doesn’t mean he reacts slowly.

【Christopher: I see.】

[Lille: The EU has passed an emergency military alliance agreement, and Latvia has emergency takeover powers in countries where the government has lost control. ]

[Lille: If anyone is dissatisfied with this regulation, they will be arrested and transferred to a local prison. Those who cause trouble will be shot on the spot. Please keep them hidden to reduce conflicts.]

[Christopher: If it is a government official]

【Lille: Then remove him first, and then arrest him, including the president. 】

[Lille: Those who are willing to cooperate can set up local organizations that are aligned with the Latvian government's administrative agencies and networks, and directly recruit qualified soldiers, engineers, doctors and other scarce professions. ]

[Lille: Rebuilding, mining resources, and expanding the supply network requires a lot of manpower and resources. ]

【Christopher: As you command, Your Majesty.】

King's Seat, Lille soaks in the cooling pool as it gradually cools down.

This huge floating combat barrier is not only a military command base, but also has a large number of missile defense and attack systems. It also has a powerful electromagnetic railgun, which can be overloaded to plasma shooting mode under special circumstances. What it fires is no longer a simple kinetic shell, but high-temperature plasma containing ultra-high temperatures.

In this way, this fortress not only provides energy for the six huge floating engines, but also provides a resting place for hundreds of Titans and transport helicopters in the fortress, and ensures that the communication system, electronic warfare system and weapon system, especially the weapon system, can operate at the same time.

This is an extremely exaggerated energy requirement, so there are three nuclear fission reactors inside the fortress.

But the most important main gun, and the "key" needed to activate the fortress, is the Ark Reactor on Lille.

The Ark Reactor is able to convert energy into spark energy, which flows into the energy core to unlock the entire fortress and weapon system, and open the electromagnetic main gun designed using Cybertron technology.

Italy and Türkiye are safe for now, but defense cannot defeat Ultron.

【Speaker Schulz: Europe thanks you, Your Majesty.】

[Lille: Your military command system is no longer useful. From now on, I will take over the military systems of Turkey and Italy and let other countries prepare.]

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
