Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 438 - 296 Mutual Hurt (Two updates of 8000 words each!)
Chapter 438: Chapter 296: Mutual Hurt (Two updates of 8000 words each!) Chapter 438: Chapter 296: Mutual Hurt (Two updates of 8000 words each!) “The Mechanical Era: Discussing the pros and cons of Jieke Group’s new equipment, the Tiger Main Battle Mecha.”
“The Tiger Main Battle Mecha’s practical combat ability is worrisome.
The famous military expert Everton said, ‘This mecha does not have practical combat value, and there is no need for concern.'”
“Human-shaped Mechas are a mistake in the course of human military development.
Military progress can’t be made through underhanded methods.”
The next day, as expected, Jieke Group’s military parade celebration shot to the top of the world’s news trends.
The appearance of the Tiger Main Battle Mecha, in particular, was like a thunderclap, sending shockwaves around the world.
Despite numerous military experts stepping forward and vehemently pointing out the Tiger Main Battle Mecha’s flaws, calling it all style and no substance…
…the general public didn’t care about that because the Tiger Main Battle Mecha looked cool.
The sight of equipment from movie fantasies appearing in reality, with its thick myriad of gun barrels, rugged lines, and overwhelming power, struck a chord with many.
“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, this mecha is perfect!
It’s almost forty meters tall with so many weapon systems.
If it were on the battlefield, I can’t even imagine the power.”
“I would gladly pay one million dollars to pilot that mecha for just five minutes.
Ahh, that would be so awesome.”
“Suddenly my Gundam toy doesn’t seem so appealing anymore.
I want a big toy like that too.”
“The cost of it must be one billion dollars!
That’s too rich for my blood, looks like only a superpower can afford such a collectible.”
“When is the Beautiful Country going to unveil its Main Battle Mecha?
Looking forward to it.”
“Dream on, we can’t even replicate their three-meter tall Biological Armor, let alone this thirty-meter behemoth.
Are you planning to replicate it with your head?”
“It’s just a good-looking, useless piece of metal.
The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on freёnovelkiss.com.
We in the Beautiful Country have aircraft carrier fleets; we don’t give a damn about such monstrosities.”
“To the person above, how do you view the Beautiful Country Congress’s recent approval of ‘an initiative to actively join with major military enterprises to expedite the development of Single Soldier Mechas and Main Battle Mechas, with a special allocation of sixty billion dollars of Mecha-specific funds’ as an act of nonchalance?”
It wasn’t just online.
Countries around the world had started to mobilize swiftly in response to the appearance of the Tiger Main Battle Mecha.
“To promote the military development of new Mechas, we will offer related Mecha courses in many universities and intensify the development of intelligent robots and intelligent piloted ships.”
This was Hua Country’s latest news announcement, where many universities even considered drawing eSports champions into military focus, hoping these individuals could pilot Mechas in combat.
“To explore the field of Mechas further, establish research systems for Mecha combat, and develop our own Mechas.”
This was Russia’s announcement, also intent on stepping into the realm of Mechas.
“Mecha culture was developed by us, the Great Sakura Empire, and we must have our own Mechas.
The Imperial Science and Technology Union plans to create a Mecha product within three years that will capture the world’s attention.
Preliminary designs for the Mecha are underway, tentatively named ‘Super Destroyer,’ representing the hopes of the Japan Empire soaring into the skies to obliterate all our enemies.”
The news from Japan was excitable and cringeworthy, with loud and thunderous slogans—whether they actually had the capability, only heaven knew.
After all, their reputation for craftsmanship had long been stigmatized internationally, with various frauds no longer surprising anyone.
“The Jieke Group is wantonly hyping up an arms race, arming the Mechanical Army, and establishing biochemical supremacy.
This is a provocation against global security.
In response, just the other day, we decided to purchase a batch of the Beautiful Country’s F35 stealth fighters.”
This was news from Siam, trembling at the Tiger Main Battle Mecha from Jieke Group.
Knowing they couldn’t develop their own Mechas, they quickly sought to cozy up to their ‘Beautiful Country daddy,’ using borrowed power to warn Jieke Group—they were not to be trifled with.
However, whether such a tactic could frighten Jieke Group remained a question.
After all, Jieke Group had already taken on the Beautiful Country.
If they dared mess with your Beautiful Country daddy, why would they fear you, Siam?
It could be said that with the unveiling of the Tiger Main Battle Mecha at Jieke Group’s military parade, the entire world was rocked by a tremendous shock.
This was because Genetic Warriors previously wearing Biological Armor had demonstrated formidable prowess, singlehandedly taking on hundreds.
While the Tiger Main Battle Mecha faced skepticism, nobody dared assert with certainty that it couldn’t be used in real battles.
Especially now, with Jieke Group’s military continually emerging victorious, it was easy for people to make blind assertions.
Assuming that Jieke Group, as the inventors of Mechas, certainly understood their advantages, no one wanted to fall behind the times and aimed to join the Mecha club.
As modern warfare evolved, nuclear forces were virtually impossible to utilize, and armored troops were too clumsy, becoming easy targets for fighter jets and drones.
Since Jieke Group had previously demonstrated the superiority of Mechas through Steel Camp, the sudden advent of the Tiger Main Battle Mecha, a formidable new type of armor combined with human capabilities, naturally became the focal point of global military competition.
For military superpowers, having a powerful Mecha force to defend national security, preserve territorial integrity, and maintain a balance of power among major countries was crucial; everyone wanted to be part of this military transformation.
However, these countries did not realize that the Tiger Main Battle Mecha was a counterfeit product; they had been led down the garden path.
But that didn’t mean they were wrong in their research direction.
Jieke Group’s current Tiger Main Battle Mecha might be fake, but this did not mean that Jieke Group couldn’t develop similar Mechas in the future—just perhaps not as large and not necessarily humanoid.
