After a brief introduction of the origin of District 7, Tom Bannatchek went straight to the point.
"You may remember that NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory lost the Hound II robot on Mars.
"We told them to declare the entire mission a failure, but in fact, Hound II transmitted thirteen seconds of video.
"This is more confidential information than the top secret."
Tom Bannatchek turned the laptop in front of John Keller and pressed the play button.
John Keller's attention was immediately focused on the screen.
The entire video was only thirteen seconds long. The beginning was normal, just some pictures of the surface of Mars taken by the exploration robot, but in the last few seconds, a shadow similar to a human shape suddenly appeared on the ground.
Immediately afterward, the exploration robot seemed to be attacked, and the picture began to shake. At the end of the video, a tall steel figure flashed by.
Then, the picture fell into darkness.
After watching this short 13-second video, John Keller's expression became more dignified.
Tom Bannatchek looked at him and spoke slowly.
"There are more than just stones on Mars."
Later, Tom Bannatchek took out a few more photos and handed them to John Keller one by one.
"This is an image from Mars. This is the image taken by your special forces when the base was attacked. We believe this is the same exoskeleton structure.
"Obviously, this is not something other countries can have."
Both photos were a bit blurry, but the overall outline could be seen clearly. John Keller looked at the exoskeleton structure in the two photos that was obviously beyond the current era of robot technology. He agreed with Tom Bannatchek's statement.
"You mean an alien invasion?"
John Keller looked at Tom Bannatchek, but he couldn't help but think of the female analyst who was arrested. She had mentioned to him before that their enemy was likely to be an alien life form.
Tom Bannatchek nodded, took out another photo from the suitcase, and put it in front of John Keller again.
"Just this evening, we found the wreckage of a giant robot on the outskirts of Los Angeles. After comparative analysis, we believe that this wreckage is the same as the one in the previous two photos, a strange alien mechanical life form!"
This photo was completely different from the previous two. It was taken with a high-definition camera, and every detail was very clear.
Although the wreckage was severely damaged, it was also because of this that many of the internal structures were exposed.
As the Minister of National Defense, John Keller was quite knowledgeable. It was obvious that these complex structures were not something that could be created by the current technology on Earth.
If the previous two photos had only made him suspicious, then now, he was certain of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms!
And this also corresponded to the powerful giant scorpion robot they photographed when they rescued Captain William Reynolds and his surviving team.
It turned out that their enemy was not a hostile country, but an alien mechanical life form!
Just when John Keller was shocked, Tom Bannatchek continued with a serious face.
"We intercepted the information sent back by the previous special forces. Those things know that they can also be hurt by our weapons, so they used a virus to paralyze the military command system so that we can't organize forces to guard against their next wave of attack!"
Tom Bannatchek was referring to Captain William Reynolds' discovery that high-temperature armor-piercing bullets could cause damage to the armor of Transformers. The Decepticons also discovered this, which made them feel threatened, so they used the virus implanted before the confusion to paralyze all the networks, so that the human army could not mobilize and command, and there was no way to stop their actions!
Looking at John Keller with a solemn face, Tom Bannatchek expressed his judgment in a deep voice.
"I dare to bet my government salary that the next wave of attack will definitely come soon!"
John Keller first digested the large amount of information he had just received. Although much of it was unbelievable, he just analyzed it in his mind and immediately agreed with Tom Bannatchek's statement.
This group of aliens had attacked and invaded Sankson Base and Air Force One. Obviously, they were not friendly. Now that they had paralyzed the military command system, their next step was bound to be a new action.
The current situation was very unfavorable for them. The entire country was almost completely exposed to the enemy!
They must be prepared as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming alien invasion!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, John Keller immediately strode out of the conference room and urgently spoke to several officers who surrounded the door.
"Use the National Guard channel to inform the fleet commander. It's a short-wave, it may still be useful. Tell them to jump the bow and rush back quickly!"
"Inform all headquarters to resist the upcoming attack!"
…
Nellis Air Force Base
Captain William Reynolds and his team had just gotten off the plane when several black SUVs with flashing police lights suddenly drove directly into the airport and stopped next to the military transport plane.
A lean man in a black suit quickly got out of the car and looked at William Reynolds and others who were about to leave. He quickly stopped them.
"Captain Reynolds!"
The man in the suit shouted as he ran over quickly.
"Please bring your troops and come with us!"
…
The Pentagon, an interrogation room.
Maggie Madson and Glenn Whitman were sleeping. One was lying on the chair, the other was lying on the table.
Even though they were nervous, they still couldn't hold on in the second half of the night and fell asleep.
But while the two were sleeping, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open. The two, who were not deep asleep, quickly woke up and saw a FBA agent push the door open and walk in.
"She's here!"
Maggie Madson turned her head and asked in confusion.
"What's going on?"
But the FBA agent ignored her and stood aside. Then, accompanied by two agents in black suits, John Keller strode in.
"You come with me!"
Maggie Madson turned her head and saw that it was Secretary of Defense John Keller!
"From now on, you are my adviser!"
Before Maggie Madson could react to John Keller's words, Glenn Whitman, who was beside her, took the lead and asked.
"Do I have to go too?"
