Chapter 1005: Chameleon

The intrusive battles initiated by the replicated warriors cultivated by the Decepticon Legion within South America have been occurring with increasing frequency lately.

Sun Cheng has already ordered the Supreme Military Committee to convene two "Supreme Military Conferences" specifically to address this phenomenon.

The Academy of Sciences has even, within a period of fourteen days, continuously utilized the Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship to deploy over seventy urgently manufactured, albeit potentially short-lived, reconnaissance satellites into outer space and high Earth and Moon orbits, used to comprehensively monitor the Decepticons on Earth and the far side of the Moon.

Although the surveillance of the far side of the Moon, under the interference of unknown technology from the Decepticon Legion, still yields meager results.

But once a large-scale group of Decepticons departs from the far side of the Moon, preparing to attack Earth, Sun Cheng and his forces will receive word at the first opportunity.

And those reconnaissance satellites deployed on Earth soon proved their value.

When Sun Cheng's Intelligence Chief Mola found him while he was using the Heavenly Pride Hammer to forge equipment, carrying a piece of video intelligence, he discovered that South America, which he had thought was impregnable, was actually not as stable as he had imagined.

"Commander, this is footage accidentally captured in Rio twenty-six hours ago by the A-74 high-altitude reconnaissance satellite..."

Sun Cheng watched with interest the video playing on the projector.

On a street in Rio, four Suburbans that looked ordinary on the outside were driving in a row along the street.

Just seeing these vehicles, he felt something strange.

However, as the video continued to play, Sun Cheng soon noticed the vehicles finally driving into a Brazilian military camp near the docks.

And when the vehicles stopped, after the door of one of the Suburbans opened, and he saw clearly the person who stepped out of the car, a grim look immediately appeared on his face.

"Tombstone, is it... It seems that after the Americans fought a few victorious battles in Africa some time ago and eliminated some Decepticon replicated warriors, they have started to become restless again..."

"Yes, Commander!"

Mola lowered his head, his attitude very humble: "This is our responsibility. With the constant disturbances of replicated warriors some time ago, we believed the Decepticon Legion was likely planning a major move behind the scenes, so we spent too much energy on collecting information on the Decepticon Legion's activities globally, not expecting that a few rats would slip in!"

Sun Cheng nodded, neither comforting nor reprimanding him.

Being responsible for intelligence gathering is something Mola is supposed to do; if the work is not done well, the responsibility must be borne.

Sun Cheng can actually understand why the Americans want to find trouble for themselves every few days.

Before he chose South America and began to encroach upon it.

South America had been the United States' de facto economic colony for the past hundred years.

Through a series of means such as loans, large corporate investments, mineral acquisitions, and technological monopolies, the U. S. government could extract massive wealth from South America every year.

And all of this turned into a bubble after Base No. 2 successfully swallowed up South America.

Conservatively estimated, the Americans originally could obtain more than 600 to 700 billion U. S. dollars in wealth from South America annually.

Having lost such a delicious piece of cake, it would be strange if the Americans, who have always considered God first and the United States second, could be willing to accept it.

So Sun Cheng is not at all surprised that the Americans, having just seen their Tombwind Squad established against Cybertronians achieve a little success, are impatient to come to South America to stir up trouble.

However, even if Sun Cheng understands the Americans' intentions, it does not mean he can swallow this insult.

His index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the alloy throne in his lounge, emitting a sound that seemed to shake the heartstrings.

At least to Mola, who was bowing his head, it indeed made his Spark beat violently.

"How is the Chameleon Project coming along?"

After a long while, Mola heard Sun Cheng ask him calmly.

He raised his head slightly, took a quick look at the expression on the Commander's face, and then carefully organized his language to answer him: "Commander, the Chameleon Project is proceeding very smoothly. Are you planning to have the Chameleon forces step in to eliminate these Tombstone members with unknown motives?"

The Chameleon Project was a whim Sun Cheng had half a year ago, which he handed over to Mola to be in charge of.

At that time, he saw the Autobots on the African continent constantly being provoked and attacked by humans, but because of their status as outsiders, they could not let go and teach those humans a lesson like the Decepticons could.

Sun Cheng naturally would not allow this situation to happen to his own side in the future.

So about half a year ago, after some thought, he came up with the Chameleon Project to deal with the exclusionary actions against his side that might occur in some human countries in the South American region in the future.

The so-called Chameleon Project is actually having Mola recruit a group of human mercenaries from various South American countries to receive more professional military training.

And they will become a sharp dagger in Sun Cheng's hand in the future, specifically aimed at the hostility that may come from South American countries and even other countries on Earth.

The personnel of this mercenary unit may come from retired soldiers, may have been mercenaries originally, may have been former drug lord militants, or even may have come from maximum-security prisons.

Sun Cheng does not care about their background; his only requirement is that they take money to get things done.

The human currency of this world, including gold, diamonds, gemstones, and things that humans consider extremely precious, are all not worth mentioning in the eyes of Sun Cheng, who holds countless mineral deposits.

He possesses wealth more terrifying than any country on Earth, and to Sun Cheng, who has now begun to develop Mars and even the Asteroid Belt, this wealth is just some slightly special industrial raw materials.

The reason why Sun Cheng and his forces have been able to conquer cities and land in South America and even across the entire Earth in the past few years, and develop very smoothly.

Is inseparable from his willingness to take out these gold and gemstones to wantonly bribe and corrupt the high-level officials and so-called elites of various countries.

The Chameleon Project is responsible for recruitment, training, and command by the intelligence department led by Mola!

And the reason why it is called Chameleon has another reason, which is that Sun Cheng also used the hands of training this mercenary force to insert a portion of newly cultivated Humanoid Decepticons into this mercenary unit.

In the future, the Humanoid Decepticons in this Chameleon Mercenary unit will act as an ace squad to step in and solve some opponents that are difficult to confront head-on with the physical fitness of ordinary human mercenaries.

Like this time when Tombstone suddenly entered the country, although the other party's purpose is not clear, they are clearly not here with good intentions.

It is just the right time to let the Chameleon Mercenaries make an appearance and go play properly with the Tombwind Squad!
