Chapter 584: Freedom
As a prisoner, Hovinton's life had improved considerably since he had an in-depth conversation with General Wu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before the conversation, although his captive life was also superior, his psychological depression could not be relieved at all, and although the daily food, clothing, shelter and transportation were of a high standard, the loneliness of being alone in the enemy camp almost made him completely crazy.
And all this is completely absent after the conversation.
Now Hovington doesn't even know if he's a prisoner or a guest in Dark Town.
After the second counterattack war of the dark town, the entire dark town was razed to the ground, and the original clubhouse was naturally blown into ashes.
The station is simple and sophisticated, tens of thousands of tents are densely scattered on the ruins of the dark town, sentinels, patrols, guards and other personnel are complete, armed helicopters and main battle tanks are stationed on the periphery of the station, all kinds of artillery are arranged in the place where they can exert the greatest power, such a station, from the comfort point of view, is extremely simple, from the perspective of war, this is like a war monster, anytime, anywhere, every minute and every second are ready to meet the war.
Hovinton's life has also changed, in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, food, clothing and housing are naturally worse than when the dark town still existed, but the most important thing is that General Wu is not restricting Hovinton's actions.
Yes, there are no restrictions.
In other words, the current Hovinton, although nominally still a captive, is actually the freest person in the dark town.
Drug dealers and mercenaries did not dare to slack off because of the war.
General Wu and other high-level officials are also in full swing to deploy the next plan, busy and dizzy, but it is Hovinton, a prisoner, who can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants.
When he is bored, he takes a walk around the station, but he is cautious by nature, especially after being captured, he is much more cautious in his heart, even if he walks, he will not leave the core area of the station too far.
And in the core area of the station, in addition to the high-level officers and pro-soldiers in the dark town, they have long received a notice not to embarrass Hovinton, so seeing the real power governor who is taking a leisurely walk, everyone is very polite and polite, Hovington can even chat with these people during the walk, and play poker or something when the other party is resting.
When I was homesick, I had a video call with my wife and daughter, and every time I saw the smiling faces of my wife and daughter, Hovinton's heart would become extremely peaceful.
This peculiar state of captivity had lasted for days, and at times, Hovington even felt that he had not been captured at all, and that he had come here as if he were just a routine to inspect a US military base.
But Hovington didn't get carried away, he still knew his situation after all, and he also knew what he should do.
So since the restoration of freedom, Hovington has been talking to his family on the phone and turning on the TV to see the current situation in the United States.
As for the Hovington Group, he had never been in contact with anyone.
This is obviously General Wu's bottom line, and Hovington doesn't want to touch it for the time being.
When General Wu came to Hovinton's tent, Hovington was holding his laptop to watch the news inside the United States, although it was a barren mountain and a wild mountain, but the signal was not bad, and after turning on the military equipment, the Internet speed was quite smooth.
The high-definition screen is playing the Texas parade picture, according to reports, half an hour ago, there were about more than a dozen hot-blooded young people storming the Texas governor's mansion, not only smashed the door of the mansion, but also radicals poured gasoline on the door, fortunately, the Austin police were prepared, the first time to control the other party, the police and the marching youth clashed, and there were many young people on the surveillance screen who were beaten to the ground by batons.
The police brutality completely infuriated the protesters in Texas, and more and more marchers gathered in front of the governor's mansion, angry at the incompetence and stupidity of Governor Teglas and Scanner, and a large number of police officers stood in front of the governor's mansion, looking at the crowd shouting loudly, left and right.
General Wu stood behind Hovinton and looked at the picture in front of him with great interest, in the picture, the chaotic shouts and scolding of the people came directly through the computer, and General Wu's smile became more and more obvious.
The scolding of a large number of American people is very chaotic, but one of the sentences is quite incisive, translated into Chinese, it is probably stupid as a pig externally, as fierce as a tiger internally, a mongrel or something...
The corners of General Wu's mouth twitched, and he tried his best to hold back a smile, but what he was thinking about in his heart was to replace Skana and Tegras, and he was really a little wronged.
"The anger of the people is terrifying. ”
General Wu smiled, patted the shoulder of Huo Wenton, who was frowning, and said in a gentle tone: "It seems that your two old fellows have been wronged. ”
Hovinton jerked his head back and looked at General Wu.
"Old fellows, are they still?"
After being silent for a long time, he narrowed his eyes, looked at General Wu and asked, although he was a question, but he already had an answer in his heart, although he felt that it was a little impossible, but Hovington knew that his almost absurd guess was the most likely to be the ultimate truth.
"I know Skarna and Tegras, I know them better than anyone else, so, Your Excellency General, if I guess correctly, the current Scana and Tegras are not the real Skarna and Tegras at all, right? If this war is really commanded by Skarna, even if it is lost, it will not be so miserable, and in the war, judging from a series of decisions made by the US military, Skarna is not stupid at all, but blatantly sent US troops to die! Tell me, Your Excellency, what happened to the real Skarna and Tegras, or are they real, but you have bought them?"
"Buy?"
General Wu smiled and shook his head: "No, we have a better way, why should we buy them?"
Hovinton's body trembled violently, and his face turned a little pale.
"They... They..."
"They have probably turned to ashes, who knows? His Royal Highness the God of War King personally took action, it is possible for them to die, in this regard, the current Tegras and Skarna are indeed not the old buddies you are familiar with, but although they have changed, their identities are unchanged, you say that they are your right-hand men, they are. ”
General Wu smiled calmly: "And now depending on the situation, you have no other choice than saying yes, right?"
Hovington was silent.
He knew that General Wu was right, and now he was about to return to the United States, and the U.S. government had not had time to make a final deal of his affairs, although Ulysses and Dabinite made him a sinner who lost American territory, and removed him from the post of governor of California, and ruled out the investigation team to investigate a series of problems during his administration, but his position was quite prominent, obviously not Ulysses and Dabinite could be removed with a word, at least through Congress.
Ulysses and Dabinite can easily manipulate Congress together, but for their own affairs, they obviously want to wait until the evidence is sufficient to do so, this is also to gag the mouth of the Hovington group, and they have nothing to worry about, maybe in their minds, since they have been captured, there is absolutely no possibility of returning to the United States, so they are quite patient with the matter of officially depriving themselves of the governorship of California.
So if I go back at this time, I will still be the de jure governor of California in the United States.
Although Ulysses and Dabinite could convene a congressional meeting to veto their positions as soon as they returned, at that point, everything was beyond the control of the two of them.
As for Tegras and Skarna...
When he returns to the United States, he must reorganize the Hovington group as soon as possible, which naturally cannot leave the support of Hovington and Scarner, and now not to mention that Hovington has made up his mind to betray the United States and cooperate with the royal family in this war, even if he and the royal family are false and wronged, it is useless to immediately expose the identities of Skarner and Tegras after returning to the United States.
Will the enemy take out the real Skarna and Tegras from the hosts?
Are the current Tegras and Skarna fake?
Such a reason is ridiculous.
Especially when he said it from the mouth of the real governor who had just run out of the dark town inexplicably, I'm afraid neither Ulysses nor Dabinite would believe it.
At that time, he will be 100% regarded as a spy sent by the royal family, so that his treason charge will be completely confirmed.
And how he returns to the United States also needs to be coordinated with Teglas and Scana, and now that his fate has been tied to the royal family, there is no longer any possibility of betrayal.
Otherwise, General Wu would not have given him so much freedom.
"I see. ”
Hovinton was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath and saying in a low tone.
"It's good that you really get it. ”
General Wu sat down beside Huo Wenton with a smile and said, "By the way, I came to inform you of one thing, your two daughters, it is estimated that they have almost arrived in Kyushu City at this time, and I hope you won't think too much about this." ”
Hovington was not shocked and angry, just showed a wry smile, he fully understood that this was not a means to threaten himself with his family at all, in fact, he had already been mentally prepared, in the past few days on the phone with his wife and daughter, his two women clearly revealed their crazy worship and love for Lin Xuanyuan, the royal god of war.
Hovington hadn't experienced the despair of the two women, but most of them could understand what Lin Xuanyuan's shot at that time meant to them, so the two daughters went to the Shenzhou Empire, which was completely voluntary, and in the foreseeable future, Hovington was sure that this would be another mess.
"I understand, in fact, that my wife has hinted at me. ”
Hovington looked helpless.
"I think I have to say congratulations to you on this. ”
General Wu's smile was playful and deep.
Hovington suddenly smiled bitterly again.
"Alright man, maybe it won't be long before you understand that this isn't a bad thing for you. ”
General Wu smiled and continued, "As for now... To tell you very clearly, you are completely free, and the state of Texas has sent someone to pick you up, so..."
He smiled and stretched out his hand: "I hope the next cooperation is pleasant, Mr. President." ”
It's Mr. President, not Mr. Governor.
This meaningful title is obviously not a mistake made by General Wu for a while.
