## Chapter 155 – 15. According to Plan
+++
The military-grade floating aircraft carrier, commonly known as ‘Titan,’ was a massive aerial vessel measuring 419 meters in length, 89 meters in width, and 91 meters in height. It was a state-of-the-art aerial fortress incorporating all of Milliteris’ cutting-edge technology.
It could carry a total of 30 mecha and 150 carrier-based aircraft, and it was capable of launching 10 mecha simultaneously through its side ejection ports.
Additionally, it carried about 20 prototypes of unmanned mecha equipped with combat AI capable of autonomous combat, a fact not officially disclosed due to international law violations.
This colossal aerial fortress, capable of executing a maximum of 80 sorties per day with mecha alone and over 300 sorties when utilizing all carrier-based aircraft, initiated its operation immediately upon appearing over the Namdong Industrial Complex.
– Code Red declared, Code Red declared, all personnel to your stations! Repeat. Code Red declared, Code Red declared, all personnel to your stations!
– Invisible off. Hull exposure!
– Mecha launch sequence initiated.
An emergency broadcast was transmitted throughout the ship, and the Invisible filter was deactivated.
With its cloaking removed, the Titan became more vulnerable to enemy attacks, but conversely, it exerted its overwhelming presence, pressing down on the entire city.
– Deployment from Ejection Port 1 to Ejection Port 10.
– Maintenance clear.
– Synchronization rate good.
– Armament status good.
– All systems green.
– Ejection ports open.
With a heavy rumble, the ejection ports opened.
The internal runway connected to the hangar was exposed to the outside, and the mecha prepared for launch.
– Launch!
Pshhhhh!
Electronic catapults propelled the mecha forward, scattering hazy smoke and sparks from intense friction.
The mecha traversed the runway as if skiing, passed through the ejection port, and soared into the air, deploying its energy wings.
– Clear!
– Ejection port closed.
– Commence maintenance!
The ejection ports closed again.
The damage sustained during the mecha launch was quickly repaired, and the launch sequence was initiated once more.
Meanwhile, the 10 mecha began bombing the Namdong Industrial Complex under guidance.
Even though official statistics weren’t being kept, it was clearly an area with many residents, yet none of the pilots hesitated.
Each time a mecha swept through, countless explosions erupted with mushroom clouds, and the industrial complex workers were busy fleeing in disarray.
Clearly, the people inside the complex knew that a siege was being established to eliminate them, so they were preparing for a counterattack. However, they never imagined that such a monster would appear, and that 10 mecha would be unleashed from it in an instant.
“T, this is a massacre!”
Men in shabby-looking mechanical armor fired man-sized machine guns at the mecha.
At first glance, it might have looked like a small mecha, but it was actually a type of heavy equipment mainly used in industrial sites. In the Namdong Industrial Complex, these were modified and used as a kind of upright tank.
When fully equipped, they were about 3 meters tall, and their incredibly tough armor and heavy weaponry made them seem invincible, but even they were helpless against real mecha.
Whoosh.
The mecha, having spotted the mechanical armor, performed an acrobatic flight and suddenly appeared in front of it.
“!!”
The man was startled and quickly raised his weapon, but the mecha had already disappeared.
Upon realizing it, his body was already severed in two along with the mechanical armor, and slowly tilting to the side.
“Ugh…?”
The industrial complex’s ultimate weapon exploded in vain.
As if that was nothing, the mecha soared again, crisscrossing the area and dropping bombs and firing railguns without hesitation.
It showed no hesitation or guilt in its slaughter.
And there were as many as 10 of them.
The Titan had opened the gate with its sudden appearance, but the team preparing the existing operation wasn’t idle either.
First, the self-propelled artillery of the city defense force stationed at the outermost perimeter opened fire.
By intensively bombarding the central area of the Namdong Industrial Complex, criminals would eventually flood to the outer edges, which was blocked by the police force and the special investigation team led by Lee Na-eun.
“Aaaah! S, save me!”
It was like watching a scene from a zombie movie.
They pulled the trigger and suppressed the overflowing figures without any hesitation.
“You bastards! Save me, you bitches!”
It couldn’t be said to be heartless.
The industrial complex workers overflowing now were all criminals and armed.
They threatened the police and prosecutors with the most horrific weapons they possessed, and the result inevitably converged on death.
Thwoom – !
A straight line, unique to the Terminator, seemed to tear through the air.
With a single attack, half a dozen were pierced and exploded.
“Aaaaaah!”
There were those who gave up on escaping.
They risked their lives and focused on disruption and terrorism.
Since the Namdong Industrial Complex wasn’t far from other districts, they bombarded the city.
Rockets, shells, and crude missiles flew through the air in parabolas.
If left unchecked, they could fall on the intact city center and cause great damage.
However, such blind shelling was all intercepted by the 10 mecha launched from the Titan, the 15 private planes that Go Mu-yeol borrowed from Ko Min-ji, and the Titan’s own anti-aircraft defenses.
“I, it can’t be…”
The scene was like watching fireworks.
Fireworks beautifully decorating the night sky.
Only the material was blood.
Those who committed terrorism were eliminated first.
The Namdong Industrial Complex cleanup operation was proceeding far too smoothly.
+++
It was a noise quite familiar to me.
The railguns exploding and seemingly tearing apart the sky and ears with their roar.
I had heard it enough on the artificial island to be sick of it.
The difference was that on the artificial island, it was a noise directed at the forest,
And now, it was a noise directed at people.
Perhaps that’s why the roar currently piercing my ears was mixed with screams, groans, and wails.
“The district head has been evacuated, and there is significant damage to her spine and femur, with a high probability of at least full-body paralysis, and in the worst case, a vegetative state.”
“As expected. If she doesn’t get implant surgery, she’ll just be stuck in bed for the rest of her life, right?”
“Yes.”
In the meantime, I was listening to the report inside the tent.
Until just now, I had been receiving reports on the suppression of the Namdong Industrial Complex, but it was proceeding so smoothly and there was even a decisive weapon sent by my aunt, so I just let it go.
Thus, what I was receiving now was about my work(?).
The district head, whom I had meticulously touched up with care(?), was being taken to the hospital, and I was receiving that information in real time.
“Will that bitch really get implants?”
“She’ll be stuck in bed for life if she doesn’t, though?”
“But she’s from the Progressive Innovation Party.”
These days, they deny most of the life sciences, including the most basic practices like anti-aging, and even reject implants for ridiculous reasons like claiming they cause a loss of humanity.
They especially demonize implants, so
Will the district head belonging to that Progressive Innovation Party receive implant surgery?
“She’ll have that much flexibility, right?”
“Will she?”
In my opinion, they’re the type who don’t have that much flexibility, but I don’t know. I can’t be sure.
To what extent are the Progressive Innovation Party hardliners, do they have at least minimal flexibility,
I left her alive for now because I wanted to see that.
If it goes well, I can also gain some political benefits.
I’ll probably have to elect a new district head, but what if that toad gets implant surgery to get treatment?
Then she’ll probably lose the support of the Progressive Innovation Party supporters. For abandoning her beliefs.
If she doesn’t get it?
Then the Progressive Innovation Party will be branded as hopeless garbage by those who don’t support them.
Taking advantage of that gap, if I recommend a new candidate, I can occupy the vacant space more easily than I thought.
Probably.
“Keep watching, and if it doesn’t seem interesting, just get rid of her.”
“Yes.”
I felt like I had heard most of the report, so I went outside the tent.
I had only stepped outside a single tent, but the roar became even louder, and the brutal smell felt through my nose became even stronger.
And the reporters, who had been barred from entering by my secretaries, poured out en masse.
“You assaulted the district head, please tell us the exact reason!”
“I heard you planned this Namdong Industrial Complex cleanup operation. Did you plan this massacre from the start!”
“It is known that over 50,000 people live in the Namdong Industrial Complex! Do you intend to kill them all!”
What.
Did they hire part-timers or something?
It’s all useless content like this.
I ignored them and walked on, but they kept stubbornly following me.
“Do you have any guilt or any-,”
They were sticking so close that I snatched one of the phones that was being thrust at me.
“Do reporters feel guilty while cleaning up the trash in their front yard?”
“Huh? What, what does that…”
“Okay, reporters. Look.”
I held out my hand towards the burning Namdong Industrial Complex.
“If we don’t sweep it up now, that scene will come to your doorstep.”
“That’s,”
“Didn’t you see it earlier? They’re launching rockets and committing terrorism in the middle of the city, are you just going to leave them alone?”
“…”
“I’m going to make this Namdong-gu safe. And I’m going to make the Namdong Industrial Complex great again. I’m going to make it the most developed place in Incheon. I’m going to make sure that shells don’t fly into your front yard, and that your children aren’t kidnapped on their way home. If you don’t like that, keep interfering.”
