It is quite clear, however, that despite sharing the same genes, humans are not the species that engineers hoped to create.

Therefore, the engineers were divided into two factions regarding how to deal with humans.

One faction believes humanity should be preserved, while the other believes it should be destroyed.

The Preservatives have visited Earth several times over the past few millennia, attempting to teach humanity.

The various related relics discovered by the protagonists were left behind by these preservationists.

The conservatives even took a baby boy from Earth, educated him, and tried to have him guide the development of humanity.

However, not long after the baby boy returned to Earth, he was nailed to a cross by other humans—this goes without saying.

But clearly, the conservatives ultimately failed.

The will of the Destructionists has taken over; they are preparing to release black water to completely wipe out humanity and all life on Earth in order to recreate new species that conform to their will.

However, before the plan could be implemented, a leak occurred during the loading of the black water.

A large number of engineers were infected by the black water.

The black water they replicated was not as stable as the original blood of the butler.

So, just like the infected in the movie, some mutated directly, some had their bodies gradually decomposed like the protagonist, and some began to evolve into aliens. In the previous period, with the help of the robot army dispatched by Josie to explore the entire planet in depth, Vickers found those aliens that were dormant deep underground.

However, they were just ordinary aliens; there were no butlers or queens.

The entire planet perished, except for one engineer who managed to escape into the spaceship's hibernation pod.

In addition, in the Engineers' system data, although Vickers did not find the location of the Engineers' home planet, he did discover another planet besides Earth where the Engineers created life.

This planet is designated LV-426 in the Prometheus human world's designation.

Furthermore, the humanoid species born on this planet are the species that the Engineer civilization truly recognizes.

That's right, this planet is the one that David destroyed in the movie sequel, Alien: Covenant.

No wonder Josie felt that in the movie scene where David arrived at the planet in his spaceship, the life on that planet, although it looked similar to the engineers, seemed rather backward.

Moreover, when they saw the engineer's spaceship arrive, their behavior and expressions did not resemble welcoming compatriots at all, but rather a pilgrimage.

If that wasn't the Engineers' home planet either, but rather a life form created by the Engineers based on their own blueprint, then everything makes sense.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. Earth was destroyed once, I won't let it be destroyed a second time so easily!" Yuri nodded in response to Josie's words of advice.

After ending the call with Yuri, Josie did not provide the Blackwater to any other trading partners in other dimensions.

In Josie's opinion, apart from Yuri, a super scientific research expert, it would be quite difficult for traders from other planes to control this thing. He gets along well with the current traders and doesn't want to lose members because of this.

Of course, not all trading partners lack this capability.

For example, Anakin from the Star Wars universe and Starscream from the Transformers universe still have room for interpretation.

The former has advanced technology and also possesses the Force, a power with enormous potential.

The latter is a mechanical life form, which naturally has some advantages over organic life forms.

However, Anakin is currently only a Jedi apprentice, which makes many things inconvenient for him.

As for Starscream... although he has become much calmer and less tyrannical after obtaining the Leadership Module, he is still a hegemon at heart. Who knows what kind of trouble he will cause if Blackwater falls into his hands.

Therefore, it's enough for Vickers and Yuri to handle the black water; Josie can just wait to share the spoils.

After dealing with the Blackwater-related matters, Josie turned her attention back to her own world.

After his last conversation with Karl-Heinz, the old man acted swiftly, securing the consent of the anti-Maoist forces in Czechoslovakia and Hungary in less than half a month.

If Austria can provide them with funds and supplies, and send troops to help resist the Soviet Union at crucial moments, they will declare themselves as autonomous regions and join the United Kingdom as soon as they break free from Soviet control.

After confirmation, Josie and the Austrian side began discussing the selection of a test site for the nuclear explosion.

This issue has caused great concern among Austrian officials.

There's no way around it. Austria is a continental country, and although it has many mountains, they are mostly fertile and good places. There are virtually no deserts or wastelands. Under these circumstances, no one would be foolish enough to drop a nuclear bomb on their own territory.

Because of World War II, there were no overseas colonies, and international relations were generally poor, so it was impossible to follow the example of Britain and France and abandon its colonies overseas.

Therefore, it is difficult to find a suitable location for a nuclear test, especially since the test involves the extremely powerful Tsar Bomba, and the goal is to demonstrate the power of nuclear weapons to both Russia and the United States without causing any real damage.

Josie really wanted to send troops to Tokyo, but right now, Japan is full of US troops, not just in Tokyo, but from south to north.

Wouldn't dropping it be tantamount to declaring war on the United States?

That would be better than just dumping it in New York.

The moon is actually a pretty good place.

However, that would be too far from Earth, and wouldn't achieve the desired deterrent effect.

"No need to hesitate any longer, just drop it to the North Pole, airburst!" In the end, after staring at the globe for a long time, Josie made the decision.

The North Pole region is located above the Arctic Ocean. There is no land in this region, and it is surrounded by the United States and the Russian vassal states.

By conducting an airburst here, the resulting explosion and radiation damage can be minimized, but the shockwaves and electromagnetic waves generated can be completely detected by the United States and Russia.

Moreover, this location is far enough from Austrian mainland, and the launch path is chosen to be the border area between the Eastern and Western blocs of Germany. The entire process can be observed by both blocs, which is a good opportunity to demonstrate the range and accuracy of the intercontinental ballistic missile.

It is enough to have a deterrent effect on the whole world.

Josie didn't believe that the Russians would dare to take action after seeing the range and accuracy of the intercontinental ballistic missiles and the power of the Tsar Bomba.

The United States is even less likely to take action; at most, it will maintain a superficial relationship with Austria, but there is absolutely no possibility of it actually taking action.

Time flies, and June has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Over the past six months, the internal conflicts within the Russian Federation have been escalated again due to Guguruza's series of anti-beard movements.

Many member states have begun to show anti-Russian tendencies.

The Western camp, led by the United States, seems to have seen an opportunity in this and has begun to get involved.

However, due to the deterrent power of the Russian bear, most movements remained underground until the emergence of the first leader.

The leader in this is Poland.

As a renowned European master of creative and humorous displays, Poland never disappoints.

Thus, the infamous Poznan incident occurred.

Poznań is an important industrial city in Poland.

In June 1956, during the 25th Poznan International Fair, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to strike and march, which led to armed conflict.

Although it was quickly suppressed by the Warsaw authorities, it still drew criticism from the Western world.

At this time, the Soviet Union was clearly unaware of the power of public opinion from the Western camp and the influence of the Poznan incident. In the subsequent handling of the situation, it actually chose to compromise with Poland, withdrawing its troops stationed in Poland, which enabled Poland to successfully de-Sinicize itself.

However, one Western country adopted an avoidance strategy during this process.

This country is none other than the United States.

Now that they've seen the Russians successfully compromise, many countries whose economies have been ruined by the Russians' policies are immediately following suit and trying to de-Russianize themselves.

However, by this time, the Soviet Union had realized something was wrong and immediately began to tighten its control over the member states.

But by this time it was too late.

Soon, similar trends broke out in Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Faced with this situation, the Russian bear immediately wanted to send troops to suppress it.

Before the Russian army entered the territories of the two countries, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, under the instructions of Josi and Karlrenna, carried out a shady operation.

That is to openly and explicitly request support from the United States!

The United States certainly could not provide them with support during this period.

Although the East-West confrontation had already taken shape, the United States at this time really did not want to have a showdown with Russia, so it adopted an evasive attitude on the matter.

Not only did it not provide aid to either country, but in order to show that it did not want to make things difficult for the Russian bear, it also withdrew the troops originally stationed in the border area between the two countries, that is, the troops stationed in Austria, and issued the same order to the Austrian side.

So the Austrian and American troops in Austria set off together.

However, once the troops set off, the American forces in Austria discovered that the Austrian troops, which had originally been positioned on their flanks, had moved into Czechoslovakia and Hungary.

Meanwhile, in the rear areas within Austria, a large number of troops appeared at some unknown time, subtly forming an encirclement of the US troops who were being mobilized within Austria.

Since World War II, the US military has been continuously reducing its troop presence in Europe, and now only a few hundred thousand remain, most of whom are in Germany. The troop presence in Austria is actually reduced to only three divisions, and most of them are lightly equipped rapid reaction forces.

The Austrian legions now surrounding them consisted of at least two army groups, both of which were heavy legions.

Much of the equipment was something the American troops stationed in Austria for several years had never even seen before.

At the same time, a new type of fighter jet, completely different from the Mirage 3 and unlike anything they had seen before, began to roar through the sky.

Austria's move has left the US, Russia, and the whole world bewildered.

Chapter 296 F4 and F22

"Mr. President, what exactly does Austria mean by this?" The Americans reacted quickly. After discovering Austria's unusual troop movements, General Alfred Maximilian Glennse, then Supreme Commander of the European Union Forces, immediately called the Austrian Presidential Palace and questioned Karl Lenner without any politeness.

“I don’t quite understand what you mean, General!” Karl Lenner replied with a smile.

"Your army has entered the territory of the Russian bear and surrounded our troops. Don't tell me you, as president, don't know these things!" Glenn said in a deep voice.

“General, I disagree with that. When did our troops enter the territory of the Russian bear? Ah? You don’t mean Hungary and Czechoslovakia, do you? General, if I remember correctly, these two countries have always been independent and sovereign nations, and have been friendly neighbors of Austria since ancient times. They are not the territory of the Russian bear. Our troops entered these two countries at the invitation of both countries to fight against potential invaders!” Karl Lenner said calmly.
