The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 190 189. Unmanned mecha, no martial ethics

The time came to November 2021.

Another kaiju has landed on land in the Pacific Rim, and has attracted unprecedented attention.

Because the place where it landed was East Timor, which was under the control of the joint government security treaty.

The challenge came less than two months after the coalition government announced the deployment of drone armor to respond quickly and guard controlled areas.

Unlike previous Kaiju attacks, this one actually took place in the area controlled by the United Government.

PPDC is particularly concerned about this. After all, the performance of the United Nations Government in this Kaiju attack will be compared with PPDC by the whole world.

Both sides are well-known and the only two large-scale military forces in the Pacific Rim.

They also have their own giant mecha troops.

As soon as the news of the Kaiju landing in East Timor was received, Marshal Steck, as the commander-in-chief of the "Hunter Plan", asked the United Government whether it needed support.

It’s not because he likes the coalition government so much, but because he had solved many Kaiju with the assistance of the coalition government.

What’s more, the coalition government has provided valuable financial support to the Hunter Program.

The most important thing is that once the United Government can no longer hold on, the only "Hunter Mech" led by Marshal Stek will be left in the Pacific Rim.

Regardless of whether it is a matter of mutual dependence or gratitude, Marshal Steck could not just stand by and watch for both moral and ethical reasons.

Even in his mind, the safety of life and property of the people in the entire Pacific Rim region can only be protected by their "Hunter Plan" and the joint government.

Marshal Steck never believed in the "Wall of Life" plan promoted by PPDC from the beginning to the end.

PPDC naturally does not want to see his behavior.

The coalition government has posed a great threat to the PPDC.

If it weren't for the Kaiju invasion, a problem that affects all of humanity, a military war-level conflict might have already broken out between the two sides.

The space battleship fleet of the United Government is indeed intimidating, but before the PPDC is thoroughly hurt, there is absolutely no way that the top leaders of the PPDC will give up their power.

The PPDC is still arguing about Marshal Stecke's decision to bypass them and cooperate with the coalition government on military deployment operations without authorization.

On the other hand, the coalition government decisively rejected Marshal Stack's support.

The "Octopus" unmanned armor stationed in the East Timor area quickly headed to the coastal area where the Kaiju landed.

Cooperating with the local military and the coalition government's airships and drone clusters, they drove away the Kaiju that had already landed.

Force the other side to stay away from densely populated areas.

Above them, the powerful energy weapons on the two space battleships are ready to go, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

With the support of the space battleship, operations on the ground below can be more relaxed.

The drones stationed in other areas were also urgently mobilized by the United Government and quickly rushed to the designated battlefield area.

This action has attracted not only the PPDC's attention, but also the coalition government's unprecedented attention.

Because the coalition government does not think there is any problem in dealing with this Kaiju.

The coalition government wants not only to destroy it, but also to capture the chrysanthemum alive.

The biological research institute on the planet Tianyuan 4A has long been drooling over the Kaiju.

Dr. Ashford has told the coalition government more than once that the Kaiju is an excellent sample of biological weapons.

If he could obtain a living Kaiju as an experimental target, he was confident that in the near future he could elevate the United Government's bio-genetic engineering-related fields to an astonishing level.

Many people within the coalition government believe that Dr. Ashford's exaggerated remarks are just the "routine pie-in-the-sky" behavior of scientific workers.

But I have to say, this "cake" is indeed tempting enough.

Anyway, the relevant senior officials of the United Government Army were quickly persuaded.

A biological weapon that is low-cost, can replace large-scale ground military equipment, and does not have to worry about casualties among the coalition government soldiers.

In a brutal war like the "Plane War", it is the weapon that the military has always dreamed of.

Therefore, the United Government Forces deployed in the Pacific Rim plane quickly received the order.

The Octopus Spider UAV numbered "03" was the first to be dispatched and intercepted the Kaiju code-named "Wasabi".

The most notable feature of "Wasabi" is its head, which looks like a giant petal.

The body moves like a worm by contracting and expanding its folds.

In the middle of the giant "petals" is the mouthparts of "Wasabi", which are composed of dozens of thick tentacles.

When the mouth valve opens and closes, you can see the internal serrated structure, which looks hideous and terrifying.

Several main battle tanks on the beach were firing in an attempt to attract the attention of Wasabi, perhaps confused by the previous slow crawling speed of Wasabi.

Having misjudged the opponent's attack range, dozens of tentacles jumped out from the mouthparts of "Wasabi", instantly wrapping and binding three main battle tanks not far away.

Sensing the danger, the commanders of the three main battle tanks simultaneously shouted at the top of their lungs to order their drivers to speed up and escape.

However, even if these drivers stepped on the accelerator pedal to the bottom and black smoke billowed out of the exhaust holes of the main battle tanks, they could not change their current situation.

After a while, the crew members in the three main battle tanks even felt a sense of weightlessness.

Amid their exclamations, the three tanks were easily lifted up by the tentacles of Wasabi and then stuffed into its jagged mouth. Not long after, several dull explosions sounded inside its body.

After opening the mouthpiece, only a few wisps of black smoke proved that the crew members of the three tanks did not die peacefully.

The octopus spider numbered "03" took advantage of the moment when "Wasabi" was distracted and came to its side.

Just like the last "torture" Kaiju attack, the octopus spider spread its eight mechanical legs and climbed onto "Wasabi" very smoothly.

Before it could successfully tie up "Wasabi", dozens of thick tentacles from the other party's head attacked.

The octopus spider wants to use its eight abdominal legs to fix the body of "Wasabi".

"Wasabi" was also trying to use its tentacles to move the octopus spider towards its mouthparts.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and dozens of tentacles and mechanical gastropods began a dazzling attack.

The octopus spider weighing more than 1,600 tons is much inferior to the more than 2,000 tons of "Wasabi" in both size and weight.

In the "tentacle war" between the two sides, "Wasabi" quickly lost eight tentacles, but the octopus spider also lost three mechanical abdominal feet.

"Wasabi" has fifty or sixty thick tentacles, and it is not fatal even if it loses ten tentacles.

But the octopus spider, which only has eight mechanical legs, began to have its mobility affected after losing three of them.

Seeing that the octopus spider numbered "03" was at a disadvantage in the battle, the people in the Pacific Rim who were watching the battle live broadcast were very worried.

Especially those people living in areas controlled by the coalition government, and even refugee workers.

They are the group that least wants to see the coalition government lose.

On the contrary, ppdc and some people who were unable to immigrate to the areas controlled by the coalition government were gloating.

“The coalition government’s drone mechas don’t seem to be as powerful as they advertise.

At least in terms of size and weight, they are inferior to the hunter mechas of ppdc..."

In the live broadcast room of the public opinion media controlled by ppdc, several experts and scholars from the "Monster Science Department" began to analyze the on-site battle situation.

In their analysis, they sound like they are taking a neutral stance.

However, influenced by the official hints from ppdc, they also implicitly expressed their pessimism about drone mechas.

In the live broadcast room, even the most staunch "passerby fans" of the coalition government now dare not say that the Octopus Spider can defeat the "Wasabi" on the opposite side.

[It's not a big problem. The United Government has powerful space battleships that can easily destroy this Kaiju.]

[I don’t deny this, but what is the cost?

Using the weapons on the space battleships will inevitably cause the spread of Kaiju contamination. 】

[You speak as if PPDC's actions have never caused environmental pollution.

Why are you so harsh on the coalition government? 】

[I just can't stand the way you guys keep blowing up the coalition government like they're the savior.

Now it seems that it is not much better than ppdc. 】

……

For a time, the discussion on the "Wasabi" Kaiju attack on the Internet was divided into two factions.

Just as the two sides were arguing, three more United Government aerial vehicles capable of floating and flying appeared over the battlefield.

[Has the United Government decided to use space battleships? ]

[Cheating, this is cheating! If you have the ability to use mecha to deal with Kaiju, what's the point of using a space battleship? 】

[Damn, are you guys out of your mind?!
Where the hell are you guys standing on?
Raped?

Could it be that I have empathy with those damn Kaiju beasts?
No matter what means the coalition government uses, only dead Kaiju are good Kaiju! 】

[Wait, why do I feel that these ships... don't look like the space battleships from before? ]

The coalition government certainly has no time to pay attention to netizens' discussions on the Internet.

Three space pod ships lifted the three nearest unmanned mechas over.

"Bang bang bang~"

After landing, the three octopus spiders numbered "01, 02, and 04" quickly surrounded the fighting "Wasabi" and "03" octopus spiders.

At this time, the octopus spider numbered "03" had been pressed under "Wasabi", and most of its mouthparts were close to the olive-shaped body of the octopus spider.

The three octopus spiders that came to support climbed onto "Wasabi" as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Twenty-four mechanical gastropods lock it tightly.

Various cold weapons used to penetrate armor also began the attack.

The locked "Wasabi" could not struggle and could only continue to compete with the octopus spider numbered "03".

It was not until the other three octopus spiders continuously injected liquid nitrogen into the monster's body through the holes they had bored in the armor that "Wasabi" gradually slowed down and lost its ability to move.
