Chapter 691: Excess
After reporting the situation to the League of Nations Congress, Paul Dumay and Edmund summoned all the members of the inspection team, and they wanted to leave Xinghua Island. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Paul Dumay suddenly regretted taking on this task, he didn't expect to be forced to be involved in this whirlpool, he is now eager to leave the land of right and wrong on Xinghua Island immediately.
However, even if the inspection team wants to end the inspection mission and leave Xinghua Island at this time, I am afraid that it will not be a wish. Because the United States suddenly announced that it was going to conduct military exercises, the entire line of Xinghua Island was under martial law, and now not only all sea routes have been suspended, but also land and air operations have been suspended.
More importantly, the Hinghwa government refused to provide the inspection team with any means of leaving Hinghwa, including helicopters.
"Messrs. Paul Dume and Edmond, we cannot agree to your request. Due to the threat of the American Navy, ships and planes to and from Xinghua Island have been suspended. Not only that, but the country's fleet has also completely blocked the sea along the coastline, and now, any ships that appear in the country's waters will be regarded as enemy ships and are more likely to be directly attacked! Therefore, I personally suggest that you should not appear in this sea area for the time being. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Xinghua Island said directly to them.
The words of the foreign minister of Xinghua Island are pertinent and friendly, but these words may only work for Paul Dumay, and for Edmond, who is hiding things in his heart, he simply can't listen to them.
"I have to get out of here!" Edmund said hurriedly.
Since the moment the Navy of the United States moved and this so-called military exercise took place, Edmund's mind has never been calm. The people who don't believe in the United States are the ones who receive money from the United States. It is precisely because of this understanding that he will be afraid, and Edmund knows very well that since the United States has intentions for Xinghua Island, then this military exercise must not be as ordinary as they claim. However, Edmund is hard to say.
Regardless of Xinghuadao's reaction to the U.S. Navy's military exercises, Edmund can be sure that the situation will not be as simple as it seems at the moment. Therefore, in order to avoid harming the pond fish, Edmund was so eager to leave Xinghua Island immediately and hide in a safer place.
Although Paul Dume was also worried about his own safety and the situation of the inspection team, he seemed relatively calm. After listening to the words of the foreign minister of Xinghua Island, Paul Dumei has already begun to think about other ways out, such as what they should do to ensure that they are not affected if they can only continue to stay on Xinghua Island. He wanted to discuss it with Edmund first, but it was only then that he realized that Edmund's reaction was a little too agitated, but Paul Dume only thought that Edmund was also scared, so he didn't speculate too much about Edmund's abnormality.
Edmund was disappointed that he didn't have time to deal with Paul Dumay, the attitude of the Xinghua Island government, their unwillingness to make a difference, and their attitude of not being prepared to make arrangements for the departure of their inspectors from Xinghua Island. However, Edmund was not a fool, and he wasn't going to go along with it. After pondering for a while, Edmund thought of another idea.
This time, instead of going to the docks to entangle, Edmund turned around and left. However, Edmund didn't discuss with Paul Dume first, and he didn't bother to say a word to Paul Dume, because he was afraid that if he talked too much, he would inadvertently reveal the secret in his heart. Seeing that the catastrophe was coming, there were some human problems, and Edmund couldn't take care of them.
Edmund, who was leaving quickly, took a few subordinates and returned to the place he had just inspected, the underground warehouse on Xinghua Island.
I have to say that Edmund is indeed a smart man. Since the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Xinghua Island had already emphasized that it was too late to leave Xinghua Island at this time, and that it was best for everyone to continue to stay on the island, Edmund immediately thought of the place where he had just finished inspecting, so he wanted to take refuge in the underground warehouse of Xinghua Island. In particular, he had just seen with his own eyes that the second floor of this underground warehouse had already prepared drinks and food, and there was also a comfortable place to stay, so once there was a real stalemate between the two countries on Xinghua Island, then, looking around the entire Xinghua Island, I am afraid that the safest place would be this underground warehouse.
"No trespassing!"
Unexpectedly, Edmund's wishful thinking worked, but it didn't necessarily work. When he appeared at the entrance of the underground warehouse with his subordinates, the two Xinghua Island security personnel guarding the door did not hesitate to pick up their guns with a cold face and pointed them at Edmund and the others, strictly prohibiting them from continuing to take a step forward.
"I'm Edmund of the League of Nations Inspectorate!" exclaimed Edmund, thinking that the people in charge of the guards did not recognize himself who had just come out of here. Otherwise, even if it is a cheat, he will have to get in. So, as soon as the words fell, Edmund continued to walk briskly forward, thinking about going to the underground warehouse.
didn't think about it, and then a situation happened that he never expected.
Bang bang bang......
A series of gunshots rang out, alarming the surrounding calm and calming Edmund, who was about to break in.
I really can't imagine that these security guards, after he revealed his identity again, would shoot at him! Although they didn't shoot at Edmund's vital point, but only fired at the ground under his feet in a warning way, it was more than just a matter of recklessness to warn others in this way. This means that Edmund is already threatening not to enter the underground warehouse if he does not want to die.
Edmund was indeed stunned by them.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how they were shooting to stop his intentions.
But the security staff at the warehouse knew it all right.
The reason why Edmond and the members of the inspection team were allowed to enter the underground warehouse was because they had the inspection task approved by the Xinghua Island government, but this task had already been completed, and the moment Edmund left the warehouse before them, the task of inspecting the warehouse had ended, that is, Edmund and they were no longer qualified to freely enter the important base of the underground warehouse again.
Moreover, before they shot Edmund to warn him, they had verbally warned Edmund, stating that this was a military forbidden place and that he was not allowed to enter it at will, so even if he wanted to hold anyone or organization accountable for it, it was no wonder that they were half a point.
What's more, these security guards are well aware that their mission is to protect the Queen's personal safety. Empress Liu Yiyi had taken refuge in the basement, and in order to protect the queen's safety, it was impossible for them to put the obviously hostile Edmund in the basement.
Edmund and the others were driven away, and they were naturally unwilling. He wanted to make trouble, but when Xinghua Island was threatened, the whole order was not chaotic. The police of Xinghua Island have all come out on duty, and the residents of the island wearing red vests and "assistant management" armbands are also patrolling with all their might to prevent any possible trouble.
Edmund doesn't want to go to the police station, who knows if the law enforcement agencies on Xinghua Island will become a target for the American Navy.
Finally, Edmund took his men to the American Embassy. In his opinion, it was impossible for the American Navy to attack its own embassy.
When Edmund arrived at the embassy, he was at the door and accidentally ran into Paul Dumay. Paul Dumay and Edmund share the same thoughts and want to hide in the embassy.
However, when they faced the American Embassy, they were stunned. Once again, their ideas had to fall flat.
This time it was not the people of Xinghua Island who rejected them, nor the American embassy deliberately rejected them, but the American embassy could not accommodate them and a group of people hiding.
The land area of Xinghua Island is too small, and the American Embassy is very small, with two floors up and down, that is, an area of less than 100 square meters, which cannot accommodate too many people. At this very moment, the military attache of the American Embassy personally guarded the door and strictly forbade anyone to break in.
Edmund stepped forward to negotiate for a long time, but he got a chance to hide in the American embassy by himself. Unfortunately, Edmund didn't dare again. If he left his colleagues and subordinates behind and hid in the embassy without a war, he would be ruined and discredited, and the consequences he could not bear.
Paul Dume and Edmund couldn't help it, and after some discussion, they changed their route and went to the Xinghua Island Hotel. At the very least, there will be plenty of food and drink, as well as guest rooms.
Every move of the inspection team was carried out under the watchful eye of the Xinghwa Island Police Department. The Xinghua Island government is not worried that they will make trouble. Today, the focus is on the movements of the ships of the American Navy.
Although the Xinghua Island government expressed its indignation and created public attention, it did not stop the US Navy's live-fire exercises.
When the buoys on the sea surface drifted not far from the Xinghua Island Naval Base, the exercise began.
Hundreds of missiles launched fierce attacks on more than a dozen "imaginary enemy" buoys......
The government and navy of Xinghua Island continue to remain silent.
Then, the American Navy began to make excessive demands.
"This is the exercise area of the Navy of the United States of America, please stay away, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”
"This is the territorial ...... of Xinghwa Island"
"According to international practice, this is the area of the high seas. ”
"You can't go any further, and if you go any further, you will invade the territorial waters of Xinghua Island. Xinghua Island is a sovereign state. ”
The two sides constantly exchanged radio waves, trying to convince each other.
Of course, the Xinghua Island Navy is a weak side and will not be sent to death easily. The commander of the Xinghua Island Navy ordered the naval base to leave no ships, and only five Xinghua soldiers.
Naturally, the purpose of the American Navy was not to base the Hung Hwa Naval Base. It was a small base, at most a place to overhaul ships, and the supplies needed for life and work depended on supplies. There is no value in capturing, and it is useless for the American Navy to occupy it.
Thus, the American Navy bypassed the platform of the Hung Hwa Island naval base.
The flagship captain of the American Navy, the commander of this small fleet, Admiral Weir, asked solemnly: "What is the attitude of the enemy ships?"
"Not an inch!" replied the vice-captain.
General Will frowned, their main task was to intimidate the Xinghua Island government, but the Xinghua Island Navy would not give an inch, which really gave him a headache.
"Turn on the missile launcher, aim at the Xinghua Island warship, scare them, I want them to panic. General Will said.
"Sir, we retreat again and again, and we can't retreat anymore!"
On a warship on Xinghua Island, Commander Chu Wen looked entangled. In front of him, the commanders of three liaisons, a gunboat, two submarines, were asking him for battle.
"You are all naval talents that the empire has trained with great difficulty...... Chu Wen didn't want his subordinates to have an accident at all.
"Sir, we are not sending us to death, but to teach the American Navy a lesson, so that they dare not despise us. "The subordinates are constantly seeking war.
Chu Wen thought about it, but still didn't want them to have an accident, so he ordered: "If the American warships don't fire at us, you can't return fire! We can't be the first to fire the guns." "Of course, this is also to keep Xinghua Island and not give the American Navy an excuse.
Tick!
From the loudspeaker in the gunboat's command cabin, a rapid alarm sounded and the red indicator light flashed.
"Report sir, the missile systems of the enemy ships of the United States are aimed at our warships. The cockpit radar officer hurriedly reported.
Chu Wen gasped, a cruise missile on an American warship was enough to blow up a battleship and leave them dead with no place to bury.
"Sir, let's strike first!" another gunboat also came with the news that it had been locked, and the captain sent a communication requesting to fire first.
"Our Xinghua Island Navy must not fire the first shot!" Chu Wen ordered sternly.
"Yes, sir. The other captain was not reconciled. On the flagship, many officers and soldiers also looked at each other with the same unwillingness.
Chu Wen believed that his decision was not wrong. Soldiers want to be respected, not by fearlessly dying to get it, but by sticking to their duties. Nowadays, Xinghua Island needs warships to guard against pirates, and it cannot lose warships unless it is absolutely necessary. Unless the U.S. Navy wants to break through the coastal defense of Xinghua Island and directly threaten the island, Chu Wen will do everything he can and order the warships to resolutely block it. Now, it's not time for them to fight hard.
"Demand that the U.S. Navy stop targeting the warships of Xinghua Island, and tell them that Xinghua Island is a sovereign state and a member of the League of Nations Assembly. Their invasion of Xinghua Island was an invasion, and their commanders were required to think carefully. Chu Wen said to the correspondent, "You take my words and keep sending them to the American warships until they stop their confrontational behavior." ”
"Yes, sir. The correspondent replied.
Chu Wen thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to Xinghua Island and tell them the details." The point is to tell them that we are still holding on. Also, tell them that we will send a telegram every fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes without a telegram, telling everyone to retreat into a safe area. ”
It didn't take long for the Xinghua Island government to receive Chu Wen's message. Then, officials held an emergency meeting to discuss one thing, and that was "to evacuate the residents?"
Ten minutes later, the president of Xinghua Island and officials of all sizes unanimously decided to evacuate some of the island's important residents. (To be continued.) )
