Chapter 941: Conspiracies and Plans

When the dense rain of missiles arrived, the Decepticon clone Warriors in the city of Cairo noticed it almost immediately.

Even though, under Starscream's deliberate cultivation, madness outweighed reason for the majority of them.

That did not mean the clone Warriors lacked any sense of danger!

When the first wave of the incoming missile rain fell and exploded in Cairo, it quickly destroyed sections of highways, buildings, and even affected many innocent civilians.

But not many clone Warriors were actually hit!

After the round of missile strikes, the thick smoke caused by the burning over Cairo became even denser, and the smell of gunpowder in the air intensified further.

Even within the city, the sounds of pain, pleading, and desperate cries were more frequent than before.

"They're here!"

Blitzwing, in his F-22 Fighter Jet form, circled ten thousand meters high in the sky.

Several Decepticons with flight modes also flew alongside him in the sky.

"We are going to destroy those human warships on the sea..."

In the communication channel, Blitzwing issued the order.

The seven Decepticons quickly exceeded Mach 2 and flew rapidly toward the Mediterranean Sea, where the missiles had come from.

The ancient capital of Cairo is only about two hundred kilometers away from the Mediterranean Sea.

Just as the Decepticons had taken off, the Americans, who had already mobilized three satellites to monitor the situation in Africa, especially North Africa, noticed it immediately.

"The good show is about to begin!"

At the Lemonnier Base in Djibouti, a US military general wore a gloating smile on his face.

If one were to ask which country on Earth has dealt with aliens the most, the Americans are definitely the undisputed number one.

Not to mention that the commander of the Decepticon Legion was once held by them in Sector 7 for nearly a century for research.

Afterward, they not only cooperated with the Autobots to strike at the Decepticons, but two of their carrier strike groups were also attacked by the Decepticon Legion.

The US mainland was once infiltrated by Autobots, who took away the remains of some Autobot Warriors.

A few months ago in the Arctic region, the US Air Force paid a heavy price to achieve a pyrrhic victory over the Decepticons.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the experience the US military has accumulated regarding aliens was piled up at the cost of massive equipment and personnel losses.

Because of this, even with their former allies, they are unwilling to share it easily.

The joint fleet formed by the navies of several European countries clearly lacked experience in dealing with aliens.

Their former big brother—the United States—appeared to be standing with them this time, but in reality, it sold them out without hesitation.

Not long ago, after sensing the unrest in the African region, the US high command had already held one meeting after another.

Through constant consultation within the elite class, they finally reached a consensus: to use the upcoming turmoil in Africa to severely cripple the major European powers that had developed rapidly in the last two years.

Since the end of World War I, the Americans spent more than half a century gradually wresting world leadership from the declining old Europe.

Although they established a large number of military bases in Europe after World War II and dragged all of Europe's most powerful countries onto their chariot through the military and political organization of NATO.

Yet, the United States has always spared no effort to suppress the development of various European powers and tried its best to prevent Europe from moving toward union and unification.

The story behind this cannot be told in one or two books.

And for a long time in the past, although the Americans used every conspiracy and trick, and their methods were indeed a bit underhanded, their goals were achieved.

Capital from the United States controlled too many competitive European technology and machinery enterprises, and their military technology and power were also constantly interfering with and sabotaging European domestic military giants.

Faced with suppression from the United States, the European countries, besides being angry, could only swallow their broken teeth.

After all, the United States and the Soviet Union were simply too powerful after the end of World War II, so much so that all of Europe had to rely on the protection of the United States to ensure their countries did not change color overnight.

However, all of this quietly changed with the birth of the Black Market on Trindade Island.

The Black Market on Trindade Island has only been in existence for a little over a year.

But the past year or so has been a period of unprecedented weakness for the US Navy.

Because they were attacked by the Decepticon Legion one after another, the US military once lost dozens of main warships, including three aircraft carriers, and had to briefly contract their defensive lines and temporarily stop their behavior of flying the banner of "freedom of navigation" while actually blatantly sending warships to violate the territorial sovereignty of other countries and showing off their military power to the world.

Thanks to the contraction of US military power, various advanced equipment flowing out of the Trindade Island Black Market was almost entirely monopolized by several major European powers, led by Britain and France, for a period of time.

Because they obtained a lot of advanced alien equipment, the entire Europe saw earth-shaking changes in both military industry and mechanical manufacturing over the past year.

And these changes at the small level further influenced the entire European economy, finance, and even technology.

The US high command also noticed this change, although the current European countries cannot get off the US chariot because they are already tied to it.

But because of the overall increase in European strength, the United States now needs to spend more military expenditure and more hidden costs than before to continue to suppress and win over Europe as it did in the past, letting them continue to serve it.

The Americans have suffered great losses, and added to that, their countless attempts to subvert Sun Cheng's continuous infiltration of South America all ended in failure.

They also realized that this Decepticon force that controls South America might be even harder to deal with than the arrogant and warlike Decepticon Legion or the stubborn Autobots.

Therefore, even though they hated the Black Market on Trindade Island to the bone, the Americans had to give up the idea of using force against them and took the initiative, like other European countries, to join in the scramble for Black Market goods.

The Americans have always been waiting for an opportunity, like those in the two World Wars, that could significantly weaken Europe.

Now, this opportunity has arrived.

"Britain, France, Italy, and Spain all have significant interests in Africa, and Germany, due to its economic rise in recent years, has also begun to seek to break away from us politically and militarily. This military operation to aid Africa is also an opportunity for them!"

Through satellites, after observing that Blitzwing and the others had left Egypt and started flying toward the joint navy on the Mediterranean Sea, all the US high-ranking officials who received the intelligence showed smiles of a conspiracy fulfilled.

"The most troublesome Decepticon Legion flight unit is gone; let our planes take off and destroy as many Decepticons as possible before they return!"
