"My name is Francis Morey, brigadier general of the Internal Security Forces. I am not well-known, but all of you here should know me." He looked at the people present and paused.
Vice President Maria Merson and Prime Minister Konoe Taylor looked at each other. Both sides signaled the other to speak first, but neither of them was willing to speak, and they immediately fell into an awkward stalemate.
Seeing this scene, the oldest person present, Marshal Ronald Aylwin, the military commander who had just celebrated his eightieth birthday last month and the leader of the community uniform team, sighed deeply and said: "Frank
...You went a little too far this time."
"I'm really sorry, Your Excellency, I've caused big trouble." Facing this veteran of the independent era, Brigadier General Francis Morey showed a considerable degree of respect and apology, but his attitude was not at all disrespectful.
Song Song: "It's just that you also know me. Now that I have done it, I will definitely do it to the end."
Marshal Elwin nodded blankly: "So, what do you want?"
"...I need you all to provide a Fletcher 4 destroyer to arrive here within half an hour to connect with the Côte d'Azur. The Chief of Staff, Admiral Schwartz, who is being unreasonably detained, must be on board.
, as well as several senior generals who were unreasonably detained, and their families. I have put the list in your work mailbox. In addition, I want 0 billion gold dragons." He paused and repeated: "
It’s the Golden Dragon! I don’t want banknotes and other promissory notes and money orders. I’m a soldier and I don’t understand these nonsense.”
"Indeed, I don't understand these silly things. The golden gold coins look comfortable." Marshal Elwin paused, looking through the screen and scanning the combat robots in the corner of the screen, frowning
Tighter.
He pressed his temples and looked at Prime Minister Konoe, who suddenly showed a headache expression: "Frank, you have to understand that where General Schwartz is being held, communication between the Ministry of Justice and the Procuratorate involved takes time.
As for the 100 million gold dragons... Well, it's not that the central reserve doesn't have such reserves, but mobilizing them also takes time. As for the ships, we have to coordinate with the National Defense Committee. Well, Chairman Nishita is fine.
?"
Morey smiled lightly and adjusted the camera to let everyone look at Keith Nicita, who was sitting quietly in his seat.
Mr. Chairman of the National Defense Committee has a calm expression, sitting posture is very upright, and there is even a bit of pride and unyielding in his eyebrows. He is indeed much more elegant than Mr. President Noxham, who has a pale and frightened face.
The marshal's eyes just quickly swept over the president and chairman of the committee, and most of the time he was still staring at the battle robot at the edge of the screen.
"Oh, by the way, this is National Security Assistant Mr. Shahrul Gander." Brigadier General Morey on the other side of the screen pointed the camera at the elegant middle-aged man not far away from him.
"Since just now, he has been trying to persuade me to negotiate. What a dedicated gentleman! He said exactly the same thing as Prime Minister Konoe! Is Mr. Gander really from the security affairs side? Not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Probably because Brigadier General Morey's attitude is now more friendly, Mr. Gander also forced out a smile and said: "Well, you are very grateful. I have indeed served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Morey smiled and nodded, ignoring the other party, and said with a smile: "From now on, every half hour, we will execute a group of hostages. The first time is one, the second time is two, and the third time is
Four, the fourth time..."
The fourth time is eight? That’s okay. Even if this thing drags on for four or five hours, not many people will die. The big shots on the other side of the screen must have breathed a sigh of relief. You know, on the Celeste Princess
There are more than 20,000 people. Even with such a killing method, it can still last for a long time. As long as no big shots or important foreign guests are killed, it will still be acceptable after that.
But at this time, Brigadier General Morey showed a serious smile: "Unfortunately, it is not eight, but sixteen. I am a boring person. I like mathematics, but I don't like addition and multiplication. I prefer squares."
Then why are there two the second time? Does the square of one become two? It is impossible for a physical education teacher to teach mathematics like this, right?
Except for Brigadier General Morey, there were probably many people present who wanted to complain like this, but no one dared to say it.
Everyone's hearts suddenly rose, but before they could stop, Morey pulled out his pistol again and pulled the trigger directly on Mr. Gander, the security assistant next to him.
Mr. Gander's forehead was penetrated, and he lost his life in an instant. The eyes that lost focus were also filled with confusion and horror, almost exactly the same as Brigadier General Robnan who died before.
It was probably also difficult for him to understand why the other party did not play his cards according to the rules, so he died with his eyes closed. Of course, fortunately, at least he did not suffer any pain before his death.
There was another scream in the bridge, but it quickly stopped under the suppression of Morey's men and the armed robots, and gradually turned into some low cries hidden in the crowd.
Brigadier General Morey turned around and saluted everyone: "I'm sorry, I have no personal grudges with you, and I will not abuse you. As long as you don't do any irrational behavior, whether you want to cry or scream, you can do it.
It’s no problem. This is the nature given to us by the spirit of the universe and the Lord of all things. There is no need to suppress it!”
Even so, who dares to really liberate their nature at this time?
Across the screen, Vice President Ms. Merson almost wanted to scream, but finally covered her mouth at the critical moment. Prime Minister Konoe looked pale and looked at Mr. Gander, who was still staring at death, with joy and pity.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
Marshal Elwin, who had seen too many dead people, could not lose his composure, but the expression on his face was as heavy as a dark cloud.
Morey said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that time is counted from now on, not half an hour. This is Francis Morey, and there is another message from the Azul Princess. You can continue to think about it.
.I am very grateful to Mr. Ergande who once served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is really good at negotiation and bought you half an hour. If everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could show such ability, many tragedies would not have happened.
Alright?"
"Don't do stupid things! Everything on the Azure Princess is under the control of my rule. In addition, the people on the Feixue 4 destroyer opposite are also my comrades. Once any of your ships are found to have entered the cordon,
They all immediately opened fire on the Azul Princess! So, I would like to remind you one last time not to do stupid things! I believe in your sanity!"
The brigadier general gave everyone a military salute, and then broke off contact without explanation.
He looked through the bridge and immediately saw the two destroyers that had turned into a pile of space junk, and felt a slight pain in his heart. However, when Feixue 4 slowly entered his field of vision, Morey
The Brigadier's little reluctance had disappeared.
"These are all...necessary sacrifices!" he said to himself. He also said the same to his other companions, which of course included Major Oishi and Captain Du Wen who were commanding the Feixue 4.
At that moment, he felt that his sight seemed to have passed through the steel fortress that made up the ship and the constraints of the universe, and he instantly looked at each other with the two friends on the Flying Snow.
"We are traitors now, but we will be heroes in the future!" He said to himself again.
Commodore Morey looked at the red and blue cruiser further away, which was painted with slutty buns. Now it was frightened and stopped outside the range of Feixue 4's main gun.
Are they all students of the drill, right? Morey quickly determined the identities of the two ships, so he simply ignored them. In comparison, there were more than 300 security personnel on the ship who were locked in the security room by himself, and...
...that person is more likely to pose a threat.
"Is he really dead?" Brigadier General Morey still lacks a sense of reality. He himself is also a fourth-level psyker, and he has barely stepped into the threshold of the high-level. He is very aware of how strong the vitality of the saints of the high-level is.
"No matter what, you are the winner! You succeeded in the leapfrog challenge. Don't you feel that you have grown a lot?" There was a vague voice in his mind.
"Anyway, you can't look back, can you?"
Yes! There is no turning back! If you succeed, there will still be a future! My future! The future of the general! The future of the community!
Morey clenched his fists, feeling like a martyr carrying a heavy burden.
In the conference room on Earth, a group of big shots who dominated this country fell into a suppressed silence. If there was no backbone present, this silence would probably last for a long time.
Self-impressed lunatic! Either he is possessed by something dirty, or he is something dirty himself!
Marshal Aylwin cursed in his heart, tapped his hand on the table, and after regaining everyone's consciousness, said to the Vice President: "Madam Vice President, now Mr. President cannot perform his duties.
It’s up to you to decide here.”
How can I make the decision? I have no experience with this kind of thing?
Although Ms. Merson was thinking about it day and night, hoping that Mr. President would die in an accident one day, so that she could directly take office without having to go through the Shura field of the general election. But the problem is that she rose to the top from the senator, because of her appearance
He came to the position because he speaks well and has a good relationship with the media. He has never been a local administrative or ministerial director, so he does not have the necessary decisiveness.
"Marshal, you are the expert. Everyone here needs your wisdom and courage!" Ms. Merson said to the marshal.
It is true that she does not have any talent or ability to make decisions on the spur of the moment, but she still has basic political skills such as scapegoating.
The marshal smiled and looked at the Vice President, who was only half his age and could be considered a MILF, and began to feel pity in his heart.
I'm a damn expert! I've sailed ships and fought in wars, but I've never dealt with this kind of thing? At this point, if you don't want to take responsibility, that's all you are.
However, it is understandable that this woman does not dare to make a decision. The president, a large number of high-ranking officials, and a group of important foreign guests were actually held hostage in the sky above the capital star. It is such a long time to live!
Who would have thought that the person in charge of the security of the entire event would jump over backwards? Really, what is that kid Wang Jingyang doing? Doesn’t he know that his deputy has mental problems? Didn’t you swear that your ability is the best to sense and
Determined as hostile?
Although Marshal Elwin doesn't know much about mysticism, he has really seen the supreme power of Wang Jingyang and his brothers. Because of this, he defied all odds and let him serve as the commander of the Blue Guard.
The officer asked him to be responsible for the security of the last part of the Navy Day celebration. But he didn't expect that something like this would happen.
"High-ranking psychic masters don't mean they are omnipotent! Marshal Li taught me what he taught me. Why did I forget to clean it up when I got older?" He smiled wryly at himself, and then thought of another possibility: "This, it won't happen.
Did he jump backwards too?"
Marshal Elwin just thought this, and then quickly shook his head in his heart. Although he began to doubt the abilities of Wang Jingyang and his brothers, he absolutely trusted their character.
The marshal looked at the Madam Vice President and Mr. Prime Minister like a naughty boy begging his father to tell him the truth. Considering his age, he can definitely be the father of these two people. However, he also
I know that if any mistakes in my decision-making lead to any tragedy, it will definitely be these two people who will push me out and take the blame afterwards.
Forget it, at this age, nothing matters anymore.
...Tsk, that old boy Paris is so lucky. He went to the "New World" to live happily, so he doesn't have to worry about the mess here.
Thinking of this, Marshal Aylwin made up his mind and began to issue orders: "One billion gold dragons, ships, and Admiral Schwartz, I hope everyone will prepare. At least we must make an appearance to make Morey trust us.
We are definitely preparing!”
The vice president looked at the prime minister, who gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty: "I understand."
Alas, they are all important national precious metals and foreign exchange reserves!
"Also, give me Morey's schedule for the past six months! I want to know where he has been, who he has met, and what unknown things he has been exposed to! I will know within twenty minutes!" Marshal stared at
Looking at the heads of the intelligence departments present, their eyes were like sharp knives, as if they were about to kill each other.
Elwin snorted and opened a light curtain, which turned out to be a hand-painted painting. It was the combat robots on the Blue Princess.
"This, this is..."
"When I was young, I graduated from the Royal College of Art. I studied sketching and engineering aesthetics..." The marshal wanted to boast proudly, but then he realized that it was not the right time, so he coughed, pointed at the picture and said: "This is
Morey’s robots! As far as I know, they are not any active military combat robots in our country or even in major military countries. I want to know their models and sources! Check them immediately!"
"Is this still twenty minutes?" the person in charge of the National Unification Committee said bravely. They are civil servants, so they probably thought it would be easier to talk this way. Otherwise, what should we do? I didn't see the person in charge of the National Unification Committee.
Is Mr. Major General too trembling to speak?
"Fifteen minutes! In one second at night, I will tie you all to antimatter bombs and throw them into the white dwarf together!"
Everyone's scalp was numb without even imagining that scene. Apart from nodding their heads and hurriedly saying goodbye and taking their men to work, there was nothing else they could say. On the contrary, in the crowd, someone who didn't know that person came quietly and quietly.
One sentence: "Isn't the anti-matter bomb... still being tested?"
"Isn't that better?" Marshal Aylwin said.
The person in charge of the National Unification Committee and the Unification Committee stumbled, and their movements to go out were even more hurried.
The marshal pressed his temples and was about to explain other things when a staff member of the presidential palace rushed into the conference room and happened to pass by the senior officials of the intelligence department, almost bumping into him.
"What's wrong?" Madam Vice President shouted in a deep voice, always looking a bit domineering like a strong woman.
"Ms. Vice President, Excellencies... Outside, people from all major media have gathered outside! Demanding that we announce the truth of the incident! This..."
"When was it leaked?" Prime Minister Konoe was furious: "What do the people in the Propaganda Department do? Where are the people in the Press Department of the Presidential Office? They should all be tied to torpedoes and launched into a black hole!"
"There are many reporters on the Azul Princess. He just talked to us, and everything was broadcast through the equipment carried by the reporters..."
The rulers of all the communities present were frightened and almost jumped up in panic. They quickly wondered if they had made any mistake before. This was more important than the lives and deaths of the 20,000 people on the ship, plus the president and all the foreign guests.
Much more important.
Of course, they were not fools after all. They were sure that the footage obtained by the media should only include Brigadier General Morey's side, and it was impossible to photograph their own side, so they regained their composure a little bit.
The marshal pressed his temples a few times harder: "How much I miss Marshal Li's era! There was still press control at that time. Although other countries were always saying that we were not free, but at least... not
It will be as troublesome as it is now!"
These words were so unpolitically correct that everyone present laughed and really didn’t know how to respond. Of course, I really can’t tell if someone took the opportunity to write down a little notebook.
"Let the Dragon's Breath Gauss cannons on the Scorching Sun Fortress and the Eagle Fortress be prepared... At the same time, move two battle cruisers equipped with high-power light spear main guns and the Dauntless to approach." Marshal Aylwin began to give the order.
"...Long-range artillery fire may indeed kill the rebellious Feixue 4 with one hit, but the distance is too far for us to guarantee a hit. In addition, it is also difficult to guarantee that it will not affect the Azul Princess next to it." A general said.
Probably guessing what Marshal Elwin was thinking, he couldn't help but remind him.
"I know, but carry out the order." The marshal pressed his temples and asked: "Where is our nearest battleship from the Blue Princess?"
"this……"
"explain!"
"Yes, they are the two roving Yushi-class ships that have just finished the exercise! However, the people on board are all students!"
The marshal was startled when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought.
