Infinite Possession of Beauty

"..."

Facing the general's cynicism, James' expression in the'War Machine' looked very calm.

As a soldier, he can understand the other side's mood at the moment.

Regardless of the age, it is the mission of soldiers to defend their homes and nations, and what they cannot tolerate most is the presence of troops from other countries in their own countries, even if the other side slogans such high-sounding slogans as protecting the earth.

However, although he understands, James obviously won't shake his mission because of his inner emotions.

In particular, his actions at the moment represent the US military that the general hates.

"I hope you can understand, General, what the American military does is only to protect the peace of the earth, but also to protect Canada as an ally."

In the "War Machine", James said the troop dispatch slogan that the US army decided from the beginning according to the book.

"In that case, I would also like to thank the American military for caring about allies, Colonel James the Gears of War."

Facing such a high-sounding reason given by James, the expression on the general's face immediately chilled.

Although the excuse of world peace may sound ridiculous, it is the most common reason for the United States to send troops to war all over the world.It's just that in the past, Canada, as an ally, has always been on the side of the interests. Even if it can't dominate the United States, the benefits of slipping away from its allies are enough to satisfy Canada.

But now that the position has changed from an ally to the one being saved, the general does not feel the slightest joy in his heart.

After all, various international examples have clearly proved it.

The rescue of the United States is not as noble as it sounds, and the fate of the countries that have been saved is far more miserable than it seems.

"You are welcome, General, this is what we should do as allies."

Although the tone of the general's speech was obviously mocking, Colonel James still showed no obvious response.

In Gears of War, he used the simple version of the intelligent system installed by Tony inside the steel suit to scan the situation in the camp before him. Through the analysis of the system, James realized that he was just a simple camp built temporarily. Any weird place.

"So it seems that all the problems lie in the military base?"

With an idea in his mind, James in the steel suit turned his head and looked at the military base not far from the camp.

The thick white fog covered the entire base, but under the scanning of the'War Machine', James could vaguely recognize that what appeared under the white fog was a huge high wall. Such a high wall is modern It was not common in wars, and the information he got about the base structure did not mention this high wall.

"Could it be that this high wall was built after the Foundation occupied it?"

Colonel James is not completely unfamiliar with the mysterious organization of the scp foundation.

As Tony's friend and the controller of the steel suit "War Machine", he occasionally participates in their operations as a temporary member of the Avengers, so it is natural to get in touch with some of the Avengers later. Know the intelligence.

Among them, there is naturally information about the scp foundation.

Although the intelligence that James had obtained was incomplete, he also knew from the information that the scp foundation exists under the hidden world and aims to contain anomalous objects.

In the past, the existence of the scp foundation was only the background that James knew from the Avengers, but now the unusually thick fog and the obviously changed building structure outside the base remind him that he will most likely be himself next When in direct contact with the scp foundation.

"I hope everything goes well."

In Gears of War, Colonel James took a deep breath and muttered in a word that he didn't even believe.

Making a decision, James no longer hesitated.

boom--

He controlled the steel battle suit "War Machine" on his body to eject flames from his back and hands and feet, then quickly lifted into the air under the general's gaze and approached in the direction of the base not far away.

As a friend of Tony, although the'Gears of War' installed on Colonel James is not as frequent as the Mark series, it has been upgraded several times through Tony’s hands over a period of time, especially the one not long ago. The weapon system of the'War Machine' has been further replaced, making this armor more suitable for its own name in terms of combat effectiveness, and it has become a veritable'War Machine'.

"Wait and suffer, James the Gears of War!"

From the time James appeared on the stage, the general had no good impressions of this American military's "war machine".

Therefore, watching the other party flew straight towards the base occupied by the scp foundation without collecting any information, the general also took a gloating attitude.

...

"Sir, from Tony Stark... Mr. contact..."

The temporary camp is not far from the military base occupied by the SCP Foundation, and this distance is even faster for Colonel James, who controls the flight of the steel suit.

Controlling the'War Machine' to fall within the base that was shrouded in dense fog, the first thing James felt was that the connection in the steel suit seemed to be obstructed.

"Just ignore him for now."

Looking across the contact reminder from Tony displayed on the helmet, James frowned slightly, but finally chose to refuse to connect.

"James, where are you now?"

However, even though Colonel James in the Gears of War had given the order to hang up, Tony's familiar voice still sounded in the helmet.

"Tony?"

Seeing Tony's familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him, Colonel James couldn't help but his eyes widened. He was a little surprised: "Why, I didn't connect you clearly?!"

"Don't forget, James, who rebuilt the'War Machine' for you."

On the screen, facing the surprised face of James, Tony raised his eyebrows and replied in a natural tone: "I am more familiar with the internal structure and system of this steel suit than you."

In a few words, I took the topic of placing the backdoor program in the'Gears of War'. Tony Mark50 asked in an obviously hasty tone: "Compared to these, James, tell me where you are now. I found it through positioning. The position of the army did not see you."

Although his heart is dissatisfied with Tony’s move to leave behind in Gears of War, James also knows that this is not the time to care about the other party. Therefore, after hearing Tony’s question, the steel jersey The colonel hesitated for a while, and finally explained his current situation.

"I have come to Canada in advance as required by the mission."

"what?!"

In Mark50, after hearing his friend’s answer, Tony’s expression clearly changed, and he quickly reminded him in an anxious tone: “Believe me, James, the Avengers are rushing towards Canada, so even if you have a heavy responsibility, you should be first. Stop, everything will be going on after I arrive, don’t, don’t enter the military base alone!"

"If you mean a military base in Canada, sorry, Tony..."

On the screen projected by the helmet, Tony gave a solemn warning.

However, James controlled the'War Machine' and looked around the scene around the steel suit, but had to make an apologetic expression to Tony: "I have entered it."

"Hurry up, James, hurry up from..."

On the screen, learning what his friend had told him, Tony didn't hesitate to let Colonel James get out of the military base.

However, before Tony could finish his words, his image on the screen in the helmet suddenly became blurred, and at the same time Tony’s original clear voice became intermittent. .

"this is?"

Seeing this change in the helmet, Colonel James, as a soldier, quickly peeped out a trace of unusual circumstances.

However, before he waited for the reaction in the'War Machine', he saw the mist that had originally wrapped him suddenly dissipated. It seems that, immediately afterwards, he saw a white skin with white hair and pupils. Is blue.He is sturdy, wearing a white fur hat with a flat top and two short horns on the front of the hat.Wearing a dark blue shirt with 8 openings in front of the shirt and a golden "W"-shaped belt around his waist, the man straightened his back and walked out of the base on tiptoes.

Controlling the double [weather forecast] to disperse the surrounding fog, [Dominic Butch] looked at the'War Machine' that appeared in front of the base and asked with a silent expression.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I'm a U.S. Marine Corps Colonel, James Rhodes."

[Dominic Butch]'s appearance and the mist floating around made it clear to James that the man in front of him was probably the initiator of the thick fog around the base.

In Gears of War, James tried to suppress the shock in his heart and reported his identity.

"U.S. Marine Corps Colonel?"

Hearing James’ self-report of his family’s identity, [Dominic Butch] frowned slightly, seeming a little surprised why American soldiers appeared on Canadian military bases.

Although, I was surprised at this in my heart, but the expression on [Dominic Butch] still maintained his calm and composure: "Tell me, the purpose of your presence here, Mr. Colonel?"

If, but judging from the appearance of the two sides in front of the base.

James, who is loaded with the steel suit of the'War Machine', is obviously the favored side.

However, the fact is that even with a thick layer of battle clothing as protection, James still does not have much sense of security in his heart.

Facing [Dominic Butch]'s questioning, James hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"Giant monsters, through the assessment of the Pentagon, it is believed that the giant monsters appearing in Canada may pose a threat to the United States. Therefore, it was decided to send troops to launch a military strike against this danger and keep the danger outside the United States."

"This is amazing, it's really American."

In the antique shop, facing the reason given by James, Li Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression a little speechless.

To be honest, although everything in front of him came from his handwriting, the reaction of the United States was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Li Ran did not expect that in the face of the threat of the [Holy Lord], the White House would be so decisive that it would directly send troops to deal with the [Holy Lord] in disregard of the face of its ally, Canada.

Although the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected, since the United States took the initiative to join the war, Li Ran as the planner did not have any reason to refuse.

Anyway, for him, all the purpose is for legend, and the United States took the initiative to send it, and he was naturally happy to welcome it.

In terms of body, raise your hands to welcome the admission of America.

In front of the Canadian base, Dominic Butchis still maintaining his composure.

"In fact, the United States has no intention of fighting with the scp foundation. As long as the scp foundation is willing to allow the American army to enter the base, we guarantee that it will not cause harm to the personnel in the base. This time there is only one target for the American army. It's a huge monster."

Clarifying the position of the American military, James looked at [Dominic Butch] in front of him and said again.

Just as James said, the goal of the US army this time is to deal with the huge threat of [Holy Lord].

Although, from an attitude point of view, the American military cannot be as friendly to the scp foundation as James said, but if the scp foundation can take the initiative to make a concession and agree to the American army to enter the base, James will naturally have Confidence to persuade the commander in charge not to use firepower on the scp foundation.

In Gears of War, James thought he had minimized the possibility of conflict.

But I was completely mistaken. As the side of the scp foundation [Dominic Butch] or Li Ran, what he wanted was a conflict between the scp foundation and the American military.

Therefore, in front of the'War Machines', upon hearing the proposal from James, [Dominic Butch] turned his white face close to the helmet of the steel suit, and then calmly gave his own reply: "The Foundation The action does not accept interference from the jurisdiction, authorization, and entrustment of any government. This country includes the Canadian government in front of you, and naturally includes the American military in your name, Mr. James."
