With the confirmation from the Northern Command, no one doubted Chen Mo's words anymore.
The Megatron was really dead!
The root cause of all this, the sacred object of Cybertron that could destroy Earth, the AllSpark, had been destroyed along with the Megatron!
Earth was saved, their efforts were successful!
At this moment, everyone's expression was complicated!
Some were excited, some were happy, some were relieved, but most of all, they were thankful that they had survived the disaster!
However, the faces of John Keller and Tom Bannatchek were filled with more regret and disappointment than the rest.
They knew how powerful the AllSpark was, and they had seen it with their own eyes. If they could keep it and conduct in-depth research, they would definitely be able to discover more. It was even possible for them to master it completely. By then, they could even use it to create Gigantic Iron Soldiers that were completely obedient!
This would undoubtedly mean a lot to the United States!
Tom Bannatchek was even more disappointed than John Keller, because the core mission of Division7 was to conduct research on the Megatron and the AllSpark. They had indeed achieved a lot, and even promoted the development of modern technology!
But now, the Megatron and the AllSpark, their two most important research objects, had been destroyed!
This meant that Division7's research could no longer be carried out, and their existence was meaningless. Where would Division7 go from here on out?
Based on Tom Bannatchek's understanding of the government, he was not optimistic about Division7's future!
Perhaps, it was time to make plans!
John Keller and Tom Bannatchek were not too concerned about the AllSpark's destruction. Compared to the Megatron obtaining the AllSpark and using it to destroy Earth, this was undoubtedly the best outcome.
Moreover, destroying the AllSpark would eliminate all potential threats. Even if there were other Decepticons, they would not have to worry about Decepticons using the AllSpark to create an endless army of Decepticons to destroy Earth!
Therefore, even though the two of them felt regretful and disappointed, they still felt fortunate.
No matter what, their lives and those of Earth's people were saved!
At the same time, everyone looked at Chen Mo with burning eyes!
Although they tried their best to contact the military and send out fighter jets, it seemed that these fighter jets were not of much use. These attacking Decepticons and their leader, the Megatron, were all taken care of by Chen Mo alone!
In the US, where individual heroism was advocated, Chen Mo's actions were undoubtedly highly sought after and worshipped!
This was obvious from the way they looked at Chen Mo!
Not to mention Sam and Michela who admired Chen Mo very much, even John Keller looked at Chen Mo with enthusiasm and appreciation.
Looking at Chen Mo, John Keller couldn't help but take a step forward and solemnly said with a bit of excitement.
"You defeated the alien invaders and saved Earth! You are the hero of mankind! I want to thank you on behalf of the US people! "
The people present did not have any opinions about being "represented" by John Keller. What John Keller said was exactly what they wanted to say!
However, John Keller paused for a moment before continuing.
"At the same time, as the US Defense Minister, I invite you to join the Department of Defense!"
Under everyone's surprised gaze, John Keller made a solemn promise.
"I will personally propose to the President to make an exception and grant you the rank of Colonel! The people of the US will not forget your contributions! "
At this moment, Glenn Whitman, Maggie Madson, Simmons, and Tom Bannatchek all looked at Chen Mo with envy. They were very clear about the value of John Keller's promise. Although it seemed to be only a Colonel, don't forget Chen Mo's age. A Colonel in his early twenties was already rare. With Chen Mo's strength and achievements, it would not be long before he became a real General!
How could they not be envious? Only Sam and Michela felt that the rank of Colonel seemed to be a little low.
Chen Mo had just saved the world, and he only promised a Colonel. That was too stingy.
However, Chen Mo's reaction surprised everyone.
Chen Mo shook his head gently and said calmly.
"I have no intention of joining any organization."
Everyone was very puzzled. The rank of Colonel was delivered to them, and it was even from a key department like the Department of Defense. With Chen Mo's achievements and performance in this incident, he would definitely be valued and his future would be limitless!
However, Chen Mo didn't even try to be courteous and directly rejected him!
However, among everyone, Sam and Michela, who had the most contact with Chen Mo, and Simmons, who had direct contact with him before, became thoughtful after the initial surprise.
The position of a Colonel in the Department of Defense might be very tempting to them, but with their understanding and feeling of Chen Mo, Chen Mo hid a strong majesty and arrogance under his indifferent appearance. Considering Chen Mo's performance all this time, it seemed that he did not even care about Decepticons and Megatron.
Sam and Michela only thought that Chen Mo did not care about aliens and the Department of Defense because he was extremely powerful. However, Simmons, who had a sharper eye, saw more!
Although Chen Mo did not deliberately release his majestic aura, Simmons still felt a stronger pressure than John Keller, who was the Secretary of Defense.
Everyone else, including John Keller, also felt this pressure, but most of them thought that it was the murderous aura that Chen Mo inadvertently leaked out.
Only Simmons, who was the person in charge of the field in Division 7 and an elite agent, knew that it was not murderous aura at all!
It was the kind of majestic aura that only a person who had been in a high position for a long time and controlled great power and authority would have!
It should be known that even a top powerhouse would find it difficult to ignore the promise and recruitment of a United States Secretary of Defense. Only a person who had great power could be so indifferent.
If that was the case, Chen Mo's actions made sense.
No matter what everyone thought, it was obvious that Chen Mo did not care about John Keller's promise at all!
John Keller was not too surprised when he saw that Chen Mo rejected him so quickly. He already knew that recruiting Chen Mo would not be so simple!
"Major General!"
Just when everyone thought that John Keller's recruitment had failed, he suddenly raised the price again and said a condition that shocked everyone.
