There are still two hours left before the award ceremony.

Ulysses, who had casually settled lunch in his office, put down his knife and fork, his expression a little gloomy.

Before lunch, he had just held a video meeting with Japan's Emperor Meimu.

The content of the talks was simple, but the implications were enormous.

More than half a month has passed since the last meeting between Ulysses and its allies, and naturally there was no definite result in that meeting, and the US allies in Asia concluded with serious consideration and ended the conversation with dignity.

All this was expected by Ulysses, so after that time, less than a week later, the individual talks began.

Ulysses had a sugar break, or rather, he was starting to lose his bones.

The first place to start the one-on-one talks was Japan.

This shows how important Japan is in the hearts of the United States in Asia.

Of course, at that meeting, Ulysses went directly to the Japanese prime minister.

However, the Prime Minister's attitude is very ambiguous.

The prime minister said that as a close ally of the United States in Asia, Japan is willing to give strong economic support to the United States if a war between the United States and the Shenzhou Empire is inevitable.

This statement is true or false, and even Ulysses has a hard time telling whether it is true or false.

The Emperor of Japan is the symbol of the Japanese nation and the Japanese people as a whole, and has the power to appoint the Prime Minister (Prime Minister), approve laws, decrees, treaties, convene the Diet, and attend ceremonial foreign affairs events.

However, all this is in name, and in fact, the modern Japanese imperial family has little real power, mainly to preserve a part of Japanese culture.

But today's Emperor Meimu is different.

Emperor Meimu has been on the throne for nearly 40 years, and he is a man of great skill in the use of nominal power in his hands.

Against this backdrop, if Emperor Meimu had a different view of Japan's military support for the United States, it would not be a good idea for him to act rashly, even as a prime minister.

Ulysses couldn't tell whether Emperor Akemu really disagreed with Japan's dispatch of troops, or whether the prime minister himself did not want to send troops and pushed all this on Emperor Akemu.

Emperor Mingmu was different from the prime minister, and many of Ulysses' political methods could not be used on him, and the only thing he could do was to keep persuading.

Today's noon video conference was the third video conference between Ulysses and Emperor Meiwu in more than half a month, and the result was no different from the past; even if Ulysses promised major benefits and even explained that he would sell to Japan a set of weapons systems that Japan coveted, Emperor Meiwu still did not let go.

On the contrary, South Korea, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Israel and other countries have all expressed a relatively positive attitude under the coercion and temptation of the United States, but Japan has not yet expressed a clear attitude.

This even made Ulysses himself a little uncertain, and his intuition told him that the old man of the emperor of Japan must know something, and it was estimated that that was the reason why he was reluctant to send troops, but the other party just didn't tell him, and there was nothing he could do.

Moreover, as Japan's most powerful ally in Asia, this attitude of the other side will not only make other allies reserve their military support, but will even make other countries on the sidelines wonder.

This situation is absolutely unfavorable for the United States today.

Ulysses was in his musings when there was a soft knock on the door.

The president's new secretary pushed the door and walked in, looked at Ulysses, and said in a respectful tone, "Mr. President, General Ellain is here." ”

Although he is not a five-star general, a few days ago, he had been promoted to the only four-star general in the United States who did not have an actual position.

All this is in preparation for the final promotion.

"Ask him to come in. ”

Ulysses said lightly, his voice majestic.

The secretary nodded and walked out, and then Irlane Atlas walked in, gave a military salute to Ulysses with a serious expression, and said in a calm tone: "Mr. President, the hospital is fully prepared. ”

"Good. ”

Ulysses nodded, a smile on his face, he stood up, waved for Ellain to sit down, and sat down on the sofa in the reception area: "Have the major media noticed?"

"The notice has been completed, and they will attend the award ceremony on time. ”

Ellain smiled.

"Yes. ”

Ulysses nodded, slowly handed Ellaan a cigar, and was silent before saying, "Are you sure you want to attend in person?" I still suggest that it would be better if you could sit at St. Mary's Hospital. ”

"No, I'm sure I'm going to attend this ceremony in person. ”

Elah said in a resolute tone.

"The hospital..."

Ulysses groaned.

He is not a fool, Qi Mingxuan and others thought of it, he can naturally think of it, today's award ceremony, two hours, for Lin Xuanyuan, Qi Mingxuan and others, is an absolutely good opportunity, in fact, this was originally a bureau against Lin Xuanyuan and others, he released the news of the execution of Wang Fuyu, and then exposed Wang Fuyu's current recuperation location, heavily guarded, and then arranged the award ceremony, just waiting for Lin Xuanyuan and others to take advantage of Airlain's absence to rescue Wang Fuyu.

For this game, Ulysses even had Ellahn's stand-in ready.

But the only surprise was that Al Lahn rejected the plan.

He insisted on attending the award in person, and even asked Cato, Adolf and others to participate in all.

It was only in order to further strengthen the defense in the hospital that Atlas entered the United States, and most of the members of the two armies of Poseidon's Eye and Giant's Hammer were all thrown into the hospital by him.

The Dark Dawn troops are also assembled at the headquarters, ready to support at any time.

Such a plan was well enough, but in Ulysses's opinion, there were still hidden dangers.

Thirteen days, thirteen military bases were destroyed.

This kind of thing completely stimulated the nerves of the American high-level and Ulysses, and he even felt that no matter what it was, as long as Lin Xuanyuan did it, it would be nothing strange.

Even now, someone told him that Lin Xuanyuan single-handedly rushed into St. Mary's Hospital and wiped out more than 10,000 people, including the three super elite troops of Poseidon's Vision, Giant's Hammer, and Dark Dawn, Ulysses felt that he was acceptable.

It was precisely because of this insecurity that Ulysses insisted on letting Ellain go to the hospital in person.

In his opinion, this award ceremony is nothing more than a trap in cooperation with the hospital, whether it is Al Lahn himself or a stand-in to participate, after today, the patriarch of the Atlas family will become the marshal of the US army, and the hospital is the most important.

But Ellain refused.

Ulysses didn't know why, but Elah himself did.

Because of pride.

He is a top supreme who can really confront the emperor without falling behind at all, such a character should naturally respect his identity, at least he will not go around and calculate a few juniors.

Lin Xuanyuan and the others will die, but even if they want to kill, he will kill them openly.

His current position is already laid out.

A large number of elites, all in the hospital.

You Lin Xuanyuan will go up if you dare to go up, anyway, I'm not here myself, I'm going to kill you, and it's not too late to go after attending the award ceremony.

Fifteen thousand elites, holding on for two hours, is really not a difficult task.

Another reason is that this is the first step in the Atlas occupation of the United States and the creation of the Atlas dynasty.

At this time, let a stand-in bear those glory in his place, Ellain naturally will not agree in his heart.

"Mr. President, please rest assured, I can guarantee that Lin Xuanyuan and the others will definitely die today. We have fifteen thousand elites, X-level masters, and more than ten X-level masters in St. Mary's Hospital, as well as two super elite troops and a super elite who will support at any time, and it will definitely not be a problem to drag on for two hours. ”

Ellain said indifferently: "We are the world's number one military power, we are the world hegemon, as the hegemon, we should have the demeanor of the hegemon, right?"

The demeanor of the hegemon?

Ulysses smiled wryly.

This kind of demeanor, he really wants to have.

But a so-called overlord who was destroyed by Lin Xuanyuan in thirteen days, where is there any so-called demeanor now?

Ulysses didn't know whether to be wary or relieved by this Atlas-like American pride on the other side.

"Okay, since you insist on attending the ceremony in person, stay and in less than two hours, the ceremony will begin. ”

Ulysses sighed, stood up, took out a folder from his desk, and handed it to Ellain: "This is your inaugural speech, I found someone to write it, your stand-in has already memorized it, since you participated in this ceremony in person, then you still have to take a closer look." The speech faces the whole country, and it is the first time you take office, and this speech is very important, and even directly determines the support rate of the people and the government for you. ”

"I understand. ”

Ellain smiled, took the file with both hands, opened it, took out the manuscript, and read it carefully.

Ulysses hesitated, and was about to say something when the phone rang suddenly.

Ulysses' eyelids jumped.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Irah also raised his head and looked at the phone that Ulysses took out, and the different color in his eyes flashed.

Roth Bruce's phone.

Ulysses' eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously glanced at Ellain, who lowered his head again, and picked up the phone casually: "How's it going?"

He refused. ”

On the phone, Roth Bruce replied simply: "There is no room for it." ”

Ulysses' expression was still calm, and he nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

The call was then hung up.

Inside the office, the atmosphere became silent again.

"Al Lahn. ”

It was a long time before Ulysses suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

Ellain looked up, his expression calm.

"If possible, the hospital will fight and try to save the lives of Lin Xuanyuan and several major figures of the royal family. ”

Ulysses spoke calmly, but with unmistakable firmness in his tone.

Leave Lin Xuanyuan's life?!

For a moment, Ellaon even thought he had misheard.

Judging from the current situation, in the hearts of everyone in the United States, the most damned person seems to be Lin Xuanyuan.

Now as the president, Ulysses actually wants to leave Lin Xuanyuan's life?

It's just inexplicable!

What does that mean?!

The killing intent in Ellain's eyes flashed away, extremely faint.

He felt that he had guessed something.

"You want to negotiate terms with the royal family?"

Ellain smiled and asked directly.

"If you can, let's talk about it. ”

Ulysses glanced at him, and then said, "However, it is not in conflict with the royal family to negotiate terms with the Divine Empire and wage war with the Divine Empire. We will definitely win the war. ”

"Of course. ”

Al Lahn said lightly, "I always believe this. ”
