Chapter 7168
Brovnen’s patience was wearing thin.
He now only wanted to rush in, subdue everyone inside, and end the battle as quickly as possible.
However, the loyal Kikuchi Kohei stopped him, advising,
“Master, don’t be impulsive!”
“Their radar coverage is already so wide, proving they’ve entered a high-level alert state.”
“The radar and surveillance information might be being uploaded to the US government in real time.”
“If you act now, the surveillance video will be at the Pentagon before you even get inside.”
“If they discover your true identity, you’ll only be in more trouble!”
Brovnen gritted his teeth and asked,
“Didn’t you say they were easy to communicate with?”
“Why have they suddenly become so wary?”
Kikuchi Kohei shook his head: “Master, I really don’t understand this either.”
“The relationships between the various Antarctic research stations are more complex than those between individual countries.”
“The relationship is even better, because on the basis of national alliances, there’s an added sense of mutual reliance and support on this continent.”
“Normally, when we go to an American research station, many people come out to welcome us when we arrive.”
“We’ve never been this wary before.”
Brovnen frowned: “Could it be that they know about our situation?”
Kikuchi Kohei looked equally puzzled: “It shouldn’t be, right?”
“We’ve all sworn to be loyal to the Master, and we would never leak even a word.”
Brovnen: “That’s very strange. What exactly makes them so wary?”
Just as Brovnen was racking his brains and didn’t know what to do, two beams of light appeared in the sky and got closer and closer to them.
The American transport plane had finally arrived.
In just over two hours, their plane was at full speed, flying from the South American military base to the airspace above the Antarctic continent.
Upon seeing the plane, Kikuchi Kohei exclaimed in alarm,
“Oh no! American planes are here!”
Brovnen asked, “Can American planes still come to Antarctica at this time of year?”
Kikuchi Kohei replied, “Private airlines and ordinary passenger planes certainly don’t have this capability.”
“Any plane that can fly over Antarctica this season must be a military aircraft.”
Brovnen was shocked: “You mean the American military is here?”
“What are they doing here?”
Kikuchi Kohei shook his head:
“I don’t know what they’re doing in Antarctica,”
“But I have a feeling they’re here to support the McMurdo Station.”
Brovnen frowned: “They’re here to support the McMurdo Station, so you mean they’re guarding against us?”
“Yes.” Kikuchi Kohei nodded. “They must be wary of us.”
Brovnen cursed, “Isn’t this unbelievable? Why are they so nervous?”
Just then, the plane opened its rear hatch, and parachutes began to unfurl from the rear.
Kikuchi Kohei turned pale with fright. “It’s paratroopers!”
“They have gone mad! The Antarctic Treaty doesn’t allow any country to send troops or weapons to Antarctica.”
“Yet they’ve sent paratroopers directly!”
Just as he finished speaking, a super parachute, many times larger than a regular parachute, suddenly opened.
Kikuchi Kohei’s legs went weak with fear.
“Shin, they’re up to no good! They’ve even deployed heavy weaponry here!”
Brovnen was furious. He had been swaying in a snowmobile for days before finally reaching the vicinity of McMurdo Station,
And they were almost there when the Americans sent troops.
In this situation, even a direct assault would be pointless,
Because what he needed was to bring the entire research team of the American research station under his control without alerting the enemy.
But once the enemy became wary, even if he rushed over and took everyone under control now, the enemy would still send a continuous stream of troops,
Which he alone could not withstand.
So he asked Kikuchi Kohei, “In your opinion, what should we do now?”
Kikuchi Kohei replied without hesitation,
“The best thing for us now is to evacuate as soon as possible and not confront them head-on.”
Brovnen was furious and angrily questioned,
“You mean we’ve made a wasted trip?”
Kikuchi Kohei nodded, “Sir, it’s good enough if we make a wasted trip. What I’m most afraid of is that their goal isn’t just to protect McMurdo Station.”
“If they catch up with us and ask us what happened, that would be troublesome. Wu Han Palace’s situation would definitely be exposed!”
Upon hearing this, Brovnen urged without hesitation,
“Quickly, quickly, turn back now! We can’t afford to lose more than we gain!”
Wu Han Palace was Brovnen’s foundation on the Antarctic continent.
With those research team members, his goal of exploring Antarctica had a basic guarantee.
His desire to expand his territory and increase his manpower was also based on the premise that this research team was already operating at full capacity.
Therefore, he could accept the failure of this territorial expansion operation,
But what he absolutely could not accept was that this failure would endanger his safety.
So, the snowmobiles immediately stopped, turned around, and began speeding back without stopping.
At this moment, the US military commander on the first transport plane immediately received a message from the research station.
On the radar, the approaching vehicles had all turned around and left.
The US military commander’s expression was serious, and he said coldly,
“Running so fast only proves they’re up to something!”
“The second echelon must hurry to their return route and prepare to intercept them.”
“I will lead the remaining SEALs and members of the Japanese delegation.”
“Turn around immediately and head to Showa Station in Japan!”
“Leave one M142 at McModo Station for defense;”
“The remaining two should not be deployed, but come with me to Showa Station!”
Watanabe Goro’s heart pounded with fear upon hearing this.
He witnessed the deployment of approximately fifty Navy SEALs and two armored personnel carriers.
If they were to transport the remaining personnel and equipment to Showa Station, this firepower would be enough to flatten the station several times over.
If any conflict were to occur, wouldn’t this unleash a massacre?
Thinking of this, he felt extremely uneasy, fearing the situation would spiral out of control.
The current American strategy was no longer related to the Japanese.
Their requirement was to first ensure the safety of McMurdo Station,
And then, once safety is secured, immediately arrest all the research team members.
They were determined to find out two things:
First, why they had betrayed their country;
And second, what they were searching for in Antarctica in their various groups!
If there were any unknown secrets involved,
The Pentagon would not allow them to slip through their fingers.
Therefore, now that Brovnen had escaped,
Their task naturally became the roundup of all Japanese research team members!
