282: There's not much difference between a military parade and a military exercise.

"Good, good, good!"

"Mr. Su, with those words, I can finally rest easy today."

"Oh, by the way, you weren't hurt in today's terrorist attack, were you?"

Duan Zhongping suddenly asked with concern, as if he had just remembered something.

He had come with a mission earlier, so his mind was entirely focused on how to persuade Su Yu to join the parade. Now that the weight had lifted from his heart, he realized that this young man had just experienced a life-and-death crisis today!

If it were anyone else, after facing a terrorist attack by international assassins, let alone having the presence of mind to think about participating in a military parade, they probably wouldn't even be in the mood to talk to him.

Su Yu put down the newspaper in his hand and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"Old Duan, I'm perfectly fine. It's just that there are only two days left until the parade. Can I join at the last minute?"

"Just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do it without hesitation, as long as I'm capable."

There are priorities.

The danger of the terrorist attack had been resolved, and the remaining interrogations and aftermath issues could be left to the Uncles.

As long as Old Duan could give State Security a heads-up, he could leave with them at any time.

The immediate priority now was to prepare for the military parade two days later!

Duan Zhongping looked deeply at Su Yu, "Mr. Su, are you really alright, and not injured?"

"If that's the case, then I'll contact Old Zhu, the chief commander of the military parade, right now and have him take you into the army for formation arrangement and drills."

Su Yu thought for a moment, then quickly said,

"Wait a moment, Old Duan. Before I go to the parade unit with you, I'm afraid I need to go home and get some things. Otherwise, the effect of this parade display might not be as good as imagined."

"No problem. In that case, I'll immediately contact the unit's special plane to send you back. We'll meet in the capital tonight."

Duan Zhongping was also a decisive person; seeing this, he immediately made several calls.

A few minutes later, Su Yu, having received his arrangements, discreetly left the International Exhibition Center in a special car.

The reason he absolutely had to go home before participating in the military parade was very simple: Su Yu hadn't brought all his mecha on this trip!

That's right!

Ever since the iron man nano mecha was completed, Lackey and he had fallen into a state of boredom.

Streaming the creation of Lackey every day was purely for the audience; their real time was spent on the secret research of other mecha.

A total of twelve mecha, all unmanned automatic driving versions.

There were suitcase versions, and gravity body versions, all complete mecha ready for use.

Operation was also very simple; Su Yu could switch to manual mode to pilot them himself, or use Lackey for unmanned driving.

The main thing about a military parade is pomp and circumstance!

Regardless of the actual function of these mecha, as long as there are enough of them and their designs are distinctly different, their appearance at the official parade will bring an unprecedented visual impact to the audience.

You know, even though he had already revealed the nano mecha at today's Global Robot Competition.

But it was precisely this exposure that led global audiences to mistakenly believe that China currently only had this one combat-capable mecha.

Everyone was unaware that this was merely the tip of the iceberg of Su Yu's mecha army.

He had eleven more similar mecha!

Su Yu felt that since they were going to put on a show, they might as well put on a big one.

What was the point of him standing alone in the sky above Tianmen Square? More than a dozen mecha appearing simultaneously would truly capture the audience's attention.

At the same time, it would also be a good opportunity to put pressure on other countries with ulterior motives.

However, although Lackey could remotely operate the mecha stored in the underground villa, if more than a dozen mecha were to cross multiple cities and fly to the capital on the day of the parade, they would likely be immediately intercepted internally as dangerous flying objects.

So Su Yu could only go in person, and after picking up his items, take a special plane to the capital.

And while Su Yu was busy with his preparations,

On the internet, various news about the nano mecha also spread like wildfire.

"Hey, have you heard? Actually, the nano battle armor that appeared at the Global Robot Competition that day doesn't have as much functionality as we imagined. A big shot analyzed it and said the mecha is very likely just a model with basic flight and bulletproof capabilities."

"Pfft! The person upstairs, don't pretend to know what you're talking about and mislead others! Isn't it normal for it not to have a weapon system? As law-abiding citizens, who would make weapons for no reason? Aren't you afraid of being targeted and thrown into a small dark room?"

"Exactly, exactly. Just think about it. Brother Su, wearing the nano mecha, crossed several kilometers in just a few seconds. How could such movement speed and energy fluctuations be an ordinary model? Can you instantly move that far?"

"The first floor comment is clearly a troll. Isn't it easy for Brother Su to make weapons? Have you forgotten he's the man who once manually created eight Mach rings, invented the air umbrella, and functional figurine/model kits!"

Most netizens believed that the true capabilities of this nano mecha were not fully displayed on the day of the terrorist attack, and Su Yu was still hiding his strength.

Of course, a small number of foreigners also changed their IP addresses and mocked the mecha in forums, claiming it was all show and no substance.

Otherwise, why, after so much time had passed, did Su Yu, as the inventor, still not dare to stream and prove himself directly?

However, besides discussing the nano mecha, another important piece of news slowly caught the audience's attention.

That's right!

That was the imminent start of the anniversary military parade!

Most China citizens actually understood what this long-planned military parade was about.

In recent years, the Taiwan issue had remained unresolved.

In particular, USA and Japan had always coveted the maritime domain, overtly and covertly trying to firmly control it. Recently, they had become even more brazen, even attempting to publicly sign a missile deployment treaty.

And this military parade was, in fact, China's direct response!

Although 'military parade' and 'exercise' are two distinct terms, at certain times they can be interchangeable. As long as conditions permit, a military parade can be switched to an exercise at any time!

Anyway, one is purely for display, and the other includes a demonstration; the difference isn't that great.

As China citizens, many people had always longed for this day to come, and now it seemed it was not far off!
