Something really happened at the Novodvinsk shipyard!

Rewinding the clock by an hour and a half, we arrive at the Russian Northern Fleet base in Novodvinsk.

At 1 a.m., Colonel Angipushka brushed the snow off his hat and walked into a certain command post in a corner of the Russian Navy camp established in Novodvinsk. He saw a Russian Navy Vice Admiral, who was wearing a military uniform with two stars on his shoulder, in the command post. The colonel quickly walked over to him and saluted, reporting, "Report, everything is normal in Novodvinsk. The nighttime patrol has been deployed, and the radar station has been ordered to strengthen nighttime vigilance. General Vadrovinov!"

Admiral Vadrovinov smiled and nodded at him. "Well done, Colonel. You need to pay more attention to the security of the port!"

A month can change many things, including a person's fate.

Admiral Vadrovinov was undoubtedly one of them!

As the former commander of the security forces at the Severomorsk base, a subordinate of the Russian Northern Fleet, he was promoted to Vice Admiral at the age of just 49. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the most prominent young star in the Russian Navy. After all, the Northern Fleet has always been regarded as Russia's most important strategic deterrent force, carrying the heavy responsibility of the Arctic bear's sea-based nuclear counterattack since the Soviet era.

Murmansk is the main base of the Northern Fleet, and the fact that Vadrovinov was appointed as the commander of the security forces at the base is a testament to his abilities.

If nothing unexpected happened, Vadrovinov should have followed in his predecessor's footsteps and waited a few more years to even have a chance to compete for the position of Northern Fleet commander.

Until a month ago, when he suddenly received an appointment from the Navy Department, it was as if he had offended some important person. Vadrovinov, who had a bright future ahead of him, was unexpectedly transferred to Novodvinsk to serve as the commander of the security forces.

When he received the transfer order, the Vice Admiral was stunned.

After all, although both Murmansk and Novodvinsk are bases of the Northern Fleet stationed in the north, the former is the main base where the Fleet Command is located, while the latter, although important, is not comparable to Murmansk in terms of rank.

Especially on the second day after his appointment was announced, Vadrovinov was flown to Novodvinsk on a military aircraft. The attitude of the people on the plane seemed to completely ignore the fact that there might be problems with the management handover between Murmansk and Novodvinsk. As a result, most of the senior officers of the Northern Fleet, including Vice Admiral Vadrovinov, instantly had the idea that his career was over.

It was not until Vadrovinov met President Vladimir in the Novodvinsk naval base and received a personal audience with him that he realized the importance of Novodvinsk to Russia. Although he still couldn't believe that a group of mechanical beings calling themselves "Cybertronians" had come to Earth, and even though they were technologically superior to Russia, and willing to cooperate with Russia, for him as a pure military man, protecting and monitoring these extraterrestrial beings staying in the Novodvinsk shipyard was his duty.

Inside the special shipyard that was built specifically for this vast empire's nuclear submarines since the Soviet era, there were now hundreds of robots working day and night.

The Vice Admiral had the opportunity to accompany the President, the Minister of Defense, and the Navy Commander on four inspections of the shipyard, and he personally witnessed the construction of two Yasen-class attack nuclear submarines. From nothing to nearly complete, the construction of the submarines only took less than forty days. Even an ordinary person who didn't know anything about the military could understand what this efficiency meant, let alone a Russian Navy officer like him.

The Yasen-class is Russia's first attack nuclear submarine approved for construction after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The first 855 submarine started construction on December 21, 1993, and is still waiting in Dock No. 6 at the Novodvinsk shipyard. The project progress has only just passed 87%.

Russia has been trying to build its first Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine with all its might for more than a decade, which shows how much importance Russia places on the North Devonport Shipyard today.

Seeing Admiral Vadrovinov nod, Colonel Angipushka finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, or rather, tonight, the extreme northern military port was not peaceful.

Just a few hours ago, the Russian Ministry of Defense suddenly encountered a terrifying cyber attack. Despite having one of the world's top cyber armies, faced with such a violent attack in terms of scale and magnitude, Russia ultimately had to resort to physically cutting off the network to barely stop the enemy's wanton intrusion.

Despite this, Russia still exposed a lot of confidential data during the brief intrusion.

The computer geniuses in the cyber army, through various complex data analyses, managed to barely decipher and analyze some things.

They discovered the afternoon's cyber attack, targeting the North Devonport Naval Base.

So there is no need for further explanation, as the Russian high-level officials are obviously well aware of what is currently hidden inside this extreme northern military port.

An emergency alert order was quickly transmitted through encrypted channels, notifying the North Devonport Naval Base.

This is why Admiral Vadrovinov is personally commanding the military port command center tonight, solemnly ordering all units to be on guard against the possibility of invasion or enemy attack.

Unfortunately, the Russian soldiers inside the North Devonport Naval Base, although on high alert, were unaware that almost at the same time as Colonel Angipushka's arrival at the base command post, two excavators, a dump truck, and a medium-sized truck had quietly stopped on the deck of a seemingly ordinary container ship in the North Devonport port.

If someone were to approach at this time and take a closer look, they would easily catch sight of a raised metal emblem on the body of these vehicles, illuminated by the dim light of the port's searchlights.

It was a totem that looked very much like a sinister fox with a metal mask!

Decepticon!

"...Decepticon warriors, the order from Master Starscream has arrived...go and destroy everything you can see in this human city...destroy it all to your heart's content..."

After dawn, although a domineering evil communication descended from the northwest.

At the moment when the evil communication was received, the bodies of the four vehicles quietly parked on the deck of the cargo ship started to move in unison.

With a strange friction and operating sound of metal and parts, soon, four fierce mechanical soldiers with crimson light shining in their eyes all raised their heads and howled towards the sky.

"Decepticons, attack!"

Accompanied by a cold roar emitting a ruthless destructive power, the North Devonport, Russia's extreme northern military port, welcomed a hellish night.
