Chapter 366:-for-tat

Three o'clock. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the American award ceremony, which attracted countless attention, countless reporters entered the venue on time.

Under normal circumstances, the ceremony of awarding a five-star general during the war was held either in the Department of Defense or in the Capitol building, inside the auditorium of the White House, and a press conference was held, and it seems that from the very beginning, Atlas and Ulysses showed their intimacy with each other.

The auditorium was packed.

In addition to reporters and photographers from major media and foreign media, senior members of the House of Representatives and the Senate also participated in the award ceremony. The major commands also sent representatives of sufficient weight to participate in the ceremony, and now Shangjiangmen, which has no important official business in the United States, even attended in person to witness the birth of the first five-star general in the United States after the war.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Deputy Chairman, Chief of Army Staff, Commander of Cyber Command, Commander of Central Command, Director of the National Guard, Commander of Strategic Command, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Chief of Veterans Department, Commander of the Marine Corps...

Will be star-studded.

Four-star generals from the navy, army, and air force were all present in person.

The atmosphere was grand and warm.

The soldiers and parliamentarians sat in different areas, looking at the podium in the center of the auditorium with a somewhat complicated look in their eyes.

Everything is ready on the podium.

Flowers, microphones, red carpets, huge projections.

The epaulettes of the five-star general are placed in the center of the podium, small in size, but extremely dazzling, and the huge projection magnifies the entire epaulettes on the screen, full of gimmicks.

Almost everyone's eyes fell on the huge projection epaulettes, one end of the epaulettes thought of five white star emblems, in a circle, and at the other end was an eagle with wings spread and the sun, which looked luxurious and solemn, as if just looking at this epaulettes, you could feel a breath of power coming to your face.

Power!

The power that represents the supreme leadership of the U.S. military.

Generals, parliamentarians, and the media, all have different looks, some look excited, some have jealous expressions, some have cold eyes, and some have mocking smiles.

To this day, even if the award ceremony has been irrevocable, but there are still many powerful people in the United States who oppose the arrival of Atlas, some people oppose it, and some people support it, in a very short period of time, Al Lane Atlas has won the full support of the American hawks, the commander of the US Central Command, the hawk leader General Roderick Recton personally waved the flag for Atlas and shouted, such a move has caused some opposition uneasiness, the opposition is definitely not small, most of them are also against Ulysses, several presidential candidates even temporarily united to denounce AtlasEspecially after the investiture ceremony was set in the White House auditorium, it has become increasingly obvious that several American powerful figures who aspire to challenge for the presidency have opposed Atlas.

They had to admit that it was a good move for Ulysses to let the Atlas family enter the United States, and his presidency was already crumbling, and the reason why he did not step down was entirely because of the war.

The current situation is too chaotic, and the candidates do not have the confidence and courage to turn the tide and end this chaotic situation, in this situation, even if Ulysses is squeezed out of power, once the situation is not handled well, it may also face the danger of stepping down, so several powerful figures are not willing to fight for the position of president for the time being, so they can only put Ulysses in front of the stage for the time being to bear the pressure.

They even planned to turn Ulysses into a puppet step by step, and they did.

Ulysses was quiet some time ago and allowed the power in his hands to drain, but no one thought that he would take this opportunity to introduce the Atlas family and give the patriarch of the family the leadership status of a five-star general.

Many people see Atlas's ambitions, they may not think that the honeymoon period of Atlas and Ulysses can be maintained for a long time, but at the very least, Al Lahn has just come to power, and he definitely needs the support of Ulysses, and Ulysses, who is unstable, also needs to control the military power through Al Lahn, how long this honeymoon period is, no one can say, but there is no doubt that as long as it is during this honeymoon period, Ulysses' status will be as stable as Mount Tai, and even because some media have portrayed Atlas as the image of the savior of the United States, so that Ulysses will face much less external pressure and doubts。

It is no exaggeration to say that Atlas's entry into the United States can be said to be Ulysses using the power of the president to suppress the passage of the entire United States, or it can be said that the whole United States has no choice but to pass.

Ulysses used Lin Xuanyuan's crazy destructive power to promote public opinion in the entire United States, and no matter how powerful the opposition was, because he couldn't come up with a master who could compete with the royal family, he could only pinch his nose and watch the ceremony of the awarding ceremony.

Therefore, in the entire auditorium, the eyes of the generals and parliamentarians were meaningful.

They all know that today's award ceremony has just begun, and the United States, especially the military, will definitely have a particularly lively fight in the future.

.....

Inside the auditorium lounge.

Ulysses put down the papers in his hand, looked at his watch, smiled and said, "It's time to start." ”

"yes, it's about to begin. ”

Ellaan Atlas nodded calmly, he was about to ascend to the position of military marshal, he had sacrificed so much, paid so much, just the lives of X-level masters, there were more than ten people, but at this moment, Ellahn's heart was extremely calm.

Calm, firm, cold.

For the sake of the United States, Atlas has paid too much, but it is all worth it, and one day, Atlas will get back all it has paid, ten times and a hundred times more, and it will be very soon, and the time will not be too long.

The most critical step has been taken, and all the next actions can be implemented.

"St. Mary's Hospital..."

Ulysses smiled, frowned again, and his tone was a little worried.

Although today's investiture ceremony is the top priority for the United States, those who can really see the situation clearly will not focus on the investiture ceremony, which has become a foregone conclusion.

The war at St. Mary's Hospital was the real priority.

"It's fine. ”

Ellain shook his head, paused in his tone, and continued: "After two hours, there is still no problem, I will go over as soon as the award ceremony is over." ”

Ulysses nodded slightly, and said no more.

The door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

Vice President Joseph stood at the door, glanced at Ulysses, and said, "Mr. President, there is a situation that I think you should know. ”

"Okay. ”

Ulysses nodded to Ellahn and walked straight out of the common room.

The two entered the next room one after the other, closed the door, Ulysses took out a cigarette and lit it, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Mr. President, I just received the news that Director Roth Bruce was attacked, and now he has been killed, his villa has been directly bombed, and we have found the bodies of his family of three in the rubble, and Roth Bruce and his daughter Alice have been shot. ”

Joseph said in a solemn tone, and as he spoke, his eyes stared straight at the change in Ulysses' expression.

"Who did that?!"

The 'stunned' in Ulysses' eyes flashed away, and he raised his eyebrows sharply, and his tone was angry: "Roth Bruce is the deputy director of the FBI, and I sent him on a mission just now, who killed him?! Bastard! The royal family is at St. Mary's Hospital, who did this?!"

Joseph didn't see anything, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "It's not clear yet, but it is very likely that it is revenge from the royal family, and I will follow this matter and investigate it deeply." ”

Ulysses gasped heavily, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, it must be investigated, it's too much, in this way, after the award ceremony is over, you will do your best to investigate this matter, and I will give an explanation." ”

"Okay. ”

Joseph nodded, and before he could continue, the phone rang again.

He took out his phone and looked at it, shook his head and said, "It's my lover." ”

Ulysses smiled and waved his hand, not saying more.

Joseph walked out of the room with the phone and whispered it all the way away.

In the room, Ulysses stood quietly alone, but his eyes fell on the wall in front of him.

Through the walls, he could see Ellahn still sitting on the couch, silent and composed.

The demeanor of a peerless powerhouse?

The corners of Ulysses' mouth moved, revealing a grim smile, and muttered, "Dog eat dog, I like it the most." ”

At the same time.

Inside the lounge next door.

Cato strode in.

He looked at Ellahn, who was sitting motionless on the sofa, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Father, more than ten minutes ago, there was chaos in St. Mary's Hospital, the enemy used grenades, smoke and fog bombs, and hundreds of death squads successfully disrupted the situation. ”

He paused in his tone, looked at his father's suddenly raised eyebrows, and continued, "About seven minutes ago, Lin Xuanyuan appeared. ”

"Now they are storming St. Mary's Hospital, the American troops stationed inside the hospital have suffered heavy casualties, 15,000 people, and now they have lost almost a third, Annai just called me, he said that Lin Xuanyuan is in a very strange state now, and he is worried that he will not be able to hold on. ”

"Rubbish!"

Ellain snorted violently, displeased.

Cato lowered his head and hesitated, "Father, I'm going to St. Mary's Hospital now?"

"Not necessarily. ”

Ellain shook his head and sneered: "I don't believe that so many people can't stop Lin Xuanyuan's two-hour attack? At the same time, let our people endure it and consume Lin Xuanyuan's physical strength first. ”

"Understood. ”

Cato nodded, in a solemn tone.

"What else?"

Ellaon asked, softening his tone.

He has always been very satisfied with this son, the patriarch of Atlas is not necessarily wise and powerful, but he must be absolutely strong.

Cato entered the world-shaking supreme realm at the age of less than thirty, and the potential is unlimited, in Ellain's opinion, before the age of forty, he has every hope of reaching his current height, and when the time comes, he will be extremely secure.

And at that time, the country under his feet may have been the Atlas Dynasty.

Overlord of the world, Atlas dynasty!

Ellain's eyes were blazing and trance-like.

"It's about the Divine Empire. ”

Cato said in a low voice: "I received the news, half an hour ago, the central plenary meeting of the Shenzhou Empire has begun, Lin Qingtian made an opening speech on behalf of the Shenzhou Empire, and their first topic today is personnel adjustment. ”

Personnel adjustments in the Shenzhou Empire!

Ellain's eyes narrowed.

According to some materials collected in the United States, there are not too many sensitive personnel adjustments at this year's plenary session of the Shenzhou Empire, and they are basically adjustments that can be negotiated to achieve a new balance before, and there are quite a few people, but if you want to talk about sensitivity, it is not high, and the advance and retreat of some central committee members, and the new central committee members and alternate members take office, this kind of thing happens every year, and this year is naturally no exception.

Wrong...

This year's Central Plenary Meeting of the Shenzhou Empire, in terms of personnel adjustment, there is still a major event.

Adjustment of the military department!

Whether or not Ye Nianlun can be elected as the first vice minister of the military department is a key signal for whether he can smoothly take over next year.

What does it mean that this election, which was supposed to be the finale, is suddenly being taken out at the very beginning?

"Where is the military headquarters?"

Al Rahn asked.

Cato nodded, not saying more.

"How's the election going?"

Ellain's expression gradually became serious.

"At the beginning, we haven't received any news yet, and their plenary meeting, especially this adjustment, is also open to the media across the country and even around the world. ”

Cato said softly.

"Then it seems that Ye Nianlun's matter is decided. ”

Al Lane nodded, in the face of the adjustment made public by the whole country and the world, if Ye Nianlun could not be elected as the first vice minister of the military department, then the entire Shenzhou Empire would immediately set off a political storm, and Ye Nianlun's prestige would also be dealt a fatal blow.

Now that war is imminent, neither the Southwestern faction nor the royal faction will allow this kind of thing to happen.

Moreover, in the current situation, the early determination of a successor can also play a role in inspiring and stabilizing the morale of the military.

What's more, the Shenzhou Empire chose to disclose this personnel adjustment during this time period, and there is no doubt that it is for the American investiture ceremony.

"It's really-for-tat. ”

Ellain sneered, narrowing his eyes tightly.
