Fifty kilometers north of Monterrey, a small armed convoy was driving rapidly on the road. The convoy contained several armored vehicles and more than a dozen large trucks. There were several dusty armed personnel on all the vehicles, and these people were vigilantly staring at the convoy’s marching around and ready to fight at any time.

The convoy was driving very fast and had to slow down when turning a corner. On the leading armored vehicle, an observer who acted as a pioneer seemed to find something wrong. He just raised his hand to warn the convoy to stop, but the moment he raised his hand, the accident broke out.

A 20 mm caliber sniper bullet flew from hundreds of meters away, and shot it into the cab of the leading armored vehicle. The armored warhead shattered in the car, tearing the driver into blood-red meat sauce. The armored vehicle immediately lost control and rushed down the road and overturned.

After the attack, the convoy commander did not dare to stay. The radio intercom was filled with orders to accelerate and leave, but the subsequent attacks became increasingly dense. Large-caliber heavy machine guns began to sweep across the road, rushing all the trucks to the back.

The moving vehicles immediately fell into chaos, they kept hitting, squeezing, rolling, and a large number of armed personnel jumped out of the car to try to fight. There were also many fleeing women and children crying, and the injured cries of help and screams were endless.

After a while, the small-caliber mortar began to spread empty-handed bombs, and the armed personnel of the convoy were killed and injured in large numbers. Many armed personnel of the convoy tried to escape on foot, and some even surrendered. The fire exchange failed to last for five minutes, and the preset ambush made the convoy fall into pieces.

Five hundred meters away from the attacking convoy, Riven's father from the Aurora Legion Special Operations Command was laughing. He was wearing T-45d power armor and specialized in this kind of intercepting work along the road these days. The senior personnel of the "Mo Tongzhi" were his target.

"Easy, these weaklings are not our opponents at all." Raven's father was very happy. He has maneuvered through various intelligence internal and helicopters these days, and has achieved great results.

The entire battle was very simple, and the special operations team began to clean the battlefield. These high-level figures of the escaped "Mo Tongcheng" all have considerable value, and the various property they plundered was a lot of money.

However, when Riven's father led the team to collect the prisoners, someone shouted at him: "Why attack us? There is a ceasefire. Do you understand? Monterey is already an unguarded city, why do you still attack us?"

"What are you talking about?" Dad Raven, wearing armor, walked up with a clanging pace. He couldn't help but ask strangely when he heard this, "When did the fire cease? Why don't I know?"

Dad Ruiwen laughed loudly, thinking that the unknown prisoner in front of him wanted to fool him. The special soldiers around him also enjoyed it, and no one took it seriously.

But the captive raised his hands and shouted excitedly: "Don't you know? Peace has come. For the survival of all mankind, there will be no war. We recommend Victor Hugo to coordinate all contradictions for the emperor, and only he has the ability to complete this great work."

The unknown prisoners were preaching back and forth in front of several power armors. Dad Ruiwen and a few special soldiers were laughing at the joke, and no one believed his nonsense. Dad simply ordered: "Isolate the living and interrogate them, and squeeze them out of their oil and water. We can't just go in vain."

Dad Ruiwen was patrolling the destroyed convoy. He is currently commanding more than a dozen special operations squads to operate behind enemy lines and is still busy. Just as he walked around and was about to lead the team away, a special officer in charge of interrogation reported to him in an internal communication.

"Sir Riven, I have some news here that you should pay attention to."

"What's up?"

"I interrogated several people about the so-called "ceasefire" of the prisoner just now. They all said that the American Baath Party suddenly issued a public appeal to the outside world, demanding the establishment of an empire covering the entire North America, and also recommending our legion commander as emperor."

"This should be the enemy's confusing propaganda, and we don't need to pay attention to it."

"Yes, yes, I think it's just some kind of publicity. After all, we didn't get any similar news from the Legion. But maybe you should take it seriously."

The officer in charge of interrogation was not sure, so he ended the communication after a few words. However, Dad Ruiwen was a little surprised. He was all smart elites and would definitely not believe in the enemy's nonsense. Such obvious reminders seemed to have some mystery.

"Refer Victor to be the emperor? Who came up with such a weird idea?" Raven's father intuitively regarded it as a conspiracy, and it was an extremely clumsy conspiracy. But his subordinates were so serious that they seemed to have made some confirmation report.

The t-45d radio station is not enough to directly contact Mexico City, nearly a thousand kilometers away. After returning to his temporary camp, Raven's father used a high-power encrypted radio station to inquire with his wife at the headquarters of the Legion through satellites. He thought he would get some kind of negative answer, so it would be natural to feel at ease.

But…….

"Yes, there is such an open telegram. Dr. Osborn, the leader of the American Baath Party, sent it to all forces in North America. The content of the telegram is that it hopes to resolve disputes through negotiation and stop using violence." Old Mrs. Raven admitted that the existence of the telegram.

"This is a kind of solicitation, deliberately setting a trap set up by intentionally posing a high attitude. It deliberately involves peace and Victor." Dad Raven said to this telegram.

"Yes, everyone thinks so. We all understand that this matter is clearly the enemy's propaganda. After all, no one will easily let Victor be the emperor." Mrs. Riven also affirmed it.

Then the couple was silent for about ten seconds. Dad Ruiwen suddenly couldn't help asking his wife, "Dear, you said our family is really possible.... Do you understand what I mean, right? In our army..."

"I understand." Mrs. Raven was obviously a little excited, "Let me talk to you about the current situation. First, no one in the Legion takes this telegram seriously at present; second, including the Legion, the entire North American grassroots are strongly war-weary. Finally, many people in the Legion are happy to see it."

"Many people want Victor to be the emperor?" Raven's father thought that he was the only one who thought this way.

Mrs. Riven sighed with regret, "This world has changed, freedom and equality no longer exist. Many people, especially the senior officials in power, want to be nobles. However, no matter whether they are republic or federal, they cannot produce aristocrats in the actual sense. So..."

"The only possibility is that Victor becomes the emperor, and only Victor dares to do it and has the ability to do such things." Raven said the next sentence. He then sighed "Oh" long, "What is Victor's attitude? Our baby daughter didn't reveal any news?"

"This matter was not discussed publicly. Only after the news first came out, Utherman, who was in charge of the publicity, said on the radio like a joke. Utherman was quickly scared to death, and then everyone automatically filtered the topic. As for Victor, he probably didn't know about it."

"How could he not know?" Raven asked in surprise.

"Victor doesn't listen to the radio station, so how dare people tell him such jokes? No one dares to write this matter in the daily briefing and hand it over to him. This matter has now become a taboo. Even Caterina says that this matter is serious and cannot be discussed casually."

Dad Ruiwen immediately understood what his wife meant. This matter sounded unrealistic joke, but it involved the interests of many people. It involved the state system and major power differentiation. It was not possible to agree or oppose it. No one would easily expose his ideas.

Mrs. Riven was right, this matter was too sensitive and serious. The only person who had the right to speak on this matter was Victor Hugo himself. Others were not qualified to intervene at all, and they were not even qualified to talk.

But no one dared to tell Victor Hugo about this. Even someone as close as Caterina dared not speak nonsense because of his stakeholder, and he would only think repeatedly - after all, the emperor was easy to make a decision, but the queen was difficult. Several people in the legion could be the queen, and they all had real power.

After the radio contact was hung up, Dad Ruiwen, a veteran of the corrupt country who had always been old-fashioned, became entangled - democracy is precious, and freedom is more expensive. If he can become a noble, both can be abandoned.
