Chapter 587: Return and Kidnapping

Victory Square was already crowded with people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A large number of police officers were busy maintaining order, and one by one they were like a great enemy.

Philadelphia has been plagued by many disasters in the past few months, first the royal god of war Wang Lin Xuanyuan attacked the magic sword armored division and the city hall, and then the emperor raided the Philadelphia police department, causing huge losses to Philadelphia, and even many innocent people died in these two attacks, in the eyes of Americans, these are completely two terrorist attacks, and the culprits of all this, the royal god of war Wang Lin Xuanyuan and the emperor are the most hateful terrorists.

It is precisely because these two events have left a shadow on the Americans, so for this press conference, although the citizens are curious, most of them have maintained restraint, and after the initial excitement, most of them consciously stand on the periphery.

This is a place where you can minimize damage to the fish in the pond, and it is also a place where you can satisfy your curiosity.

A simple rostrum has been erected in the central part of Victory Square, and amplification equipment has been installed, so that every question asked by reporters and Ulysses' answers can be guaranteed to be heard throughout the venue, so that most people are far away from the center for safety reasons.

After all, if the enemy attacks Philadelphia again, the rostrum in the center of Victory Square is definitely the enemy's core target, and the farther away from the rostrum, the safer it is.

Dozens of military trucks with American flags on their bows arrived at Victory Square, and a group of heavily armed US troops quickly occupied various defensible landings, and after nearly 1,000 US troops from two reinforced battalions arrived at the scene, the originally chaotic scene suddenly became even quieter.

The most elite officers of the Philadelphia Police Department were assigned around the rostrum, everyone's face was serious, carefully checking every reporter who entered, two large-scale and destructive terrorist attacks made everyone like a frightened bird, an originally simple check was divided into several steps, checking documents, confirming the unit by phone, registering names and home addresses...

There is no most meticulous, only more detailed!

A solemn and dignified atmosphere permeated every corner of Victory Square, and everyone's hearts were depressed.

Time passed quietly.

While everyone was waiting in silence, two rows of medium-sized convoys finally appeared in people's sights, getting closer and closer to Victory Square.

"The West is safe. ”

"Safe in the East. ”

"Safe in the South. ”

"The north is safe. ”

One after another short and crisp reports came to the rostrum, with Victory Square as the center, and all the commanding heights in the four directions had been completely controlled.

In addition to the necessary ground protection measures and the defense of the commanding heights, four helicopter gunships are circling and roaring in the sky, and a military low-altitude satellite has been lowered to the lowest altitude, monitoring the entire Philadelphia panorama.

Low air force with satellite surveillance.

Half-empty helicopters circling.

Commanding heights sniper defense.

On the ground, the army was on standby.

The crowd of onlookers was separated from the reporters on the rostrum by more than 1,000 meters.

In such a battle, even if there is no master present, the safety of Ulysses and Dabinite can be called foolproof.

Not to mention the emperor, even if the three giants of the imperial family charge together with all the masters of the imperial family, it is difficult to threaten Ulysses and Dabinit.

There is also a limit to the degree of defy of the masters, especially in solitary or small-scale operations, the restrictions are even more, and in the face of enemies who are far more numerous than their own, they first have to hide their identities, and then create chaos to facilitate their actions.

Nowadays, the open space of more than 1,000 meters from the people to the rostrum is almost empty, no matter how strong the master is, it is flesh and blood, and at a distance of more than 1,000 meters, the half-empty helicopter has countless opportunities to lock on and smash everything with small missiles, and under this kind of protection work, which can already be said to be perfect, any small-scale assassination is meaningless.

The two rows of convoys approached the rostrum directly on the path in anticipation of the crowd.

The doors opened.

President Ulysses and Congressman Darbinit, who represent the highest power in the United States today, stepped out of the car and stood on the podium, smiling and waving to the people in Victory Square.

Ulysses was dressed formally, and although his expression was a little heavy, anyone could see that Mr. President was radiant and radiant when he looked closely.

On the contrary, Dabinit's face was a little blue, and his eyes were a little dull, although he was smiling the same, but no matter how he looked at it, there was a sense of forced laughter, especially when he stood with Ulysses, the contrast between the two smiles was extremely obvious.

Ulysses didn't seem to notice Darbinit's unusual behavior at all, picked up the microphone and said a few random words, and the press conference went straight to the question session.

Without a doubt, this is the most important and central part.

Ulysses and Darbinite need to get their voices heard through these media to the people of the United States, and then put a lot of pressure on the Hovington group, so that they can easily bring down the Hovington group.

In fact, after Scarner's defeat in the dark town, there were already sporadic figures in the Hovington group that began to move closer to the Ulysses group.

Ulysses believes that the Dabinite Group will have such people, and maybe even more.

It's just that these people who are moving closer to them are not the core of the Hovington group at all, and their positions are not too high, but Ulysses still decided to take these people down temporarily, and he still understands the reason for buying horse bones for a thousand dollars.

"Mr. President, what do you think of the fiasco of the Second War in the border town?"

Ulysses sat on the rostrum and randomly ordered a reporter who raised his hand to ask a question, and the reporter who was named looked ecstatic and surprised, but he immediately adjusted his mood and couldn't wait to ask a question that everyone was extremely concerned about.

"I was surprised. ”

Ulysses had a heavy face: "This result is something that no one wants to see, but the process of war is always changeable, I will study this war with the military, and give a satisfactory explanation to the people." ”

"Do you mean that the defeat of this war was just an accident, and that no one needs to be held responsible for this war?"

Another female reporter stood up and asked angrily.

"No, someone has to be in charge of this war, the course of the war is full of accidents, but such a fiasco must be accompanied by a lot of command errors, in fact, until now, I have not succeeded in getting in touch with Governor Teglas and Admiral Skarna, nor have I received any reports of his concern about this war, but I think that as the commander-in-chief of this war, the two of them must be responsible for this outcome. ”

Ulysses shook his head, his face even heavier.

"I heard that before the war, Admiral Skarna and Governor Teglas made a military order at the war headquarters? They threatened to take the border town within twenty-four hours or else they would resign? In fact, the final result has been seen by everyone, and in the face of such a defeat, will Admiral Skarna and Governor Teglas keep their promises? Mr. President, will you approve the resignation of the two men?"

A reporter from a foreign media stood up and asked.

"I will respect their decision, even though it is regrettable. Tygras and Skarna are inescapable of the defeat of this war, and I will approve their resignations, and if I can see them, in fact, whether they resign or not, most members of the war command are now unanimous that they are no longer fit for their present positions, so..."

"Mr. President!!"

Before Ulysses could finish his words, a voice of horror and anxiety suddenly sounded.

Ulysses turned his head in astonishment, then his face turned gloomy, and he forcibly said with unhappiness: "What's the matter?"

It was Vice President Joseph.

In the eyes of everyone, the vice president, who has always paid attention to image, hurried to the rostrum, because he was so eager that he almost tripped when he crossed the steps, and his stumbling body almost hit Ulysses.

Ulysses's heart sank for no reason, and he knew Joseph quite well, and he knew that if it weren't for the earth-shattering event, his old friend would definitely not be so out of shape.

"Mr. President, urgent military situation, I must report to you in secret. ”

Joseph took a deep breath and said with a pale face.

Ulysses looked at him deeply, nodded, then stood up, followed Joseph away from the rostrum, and temporarily handed over the control of the press conference to Dabinit.

"Mr. President, I've been informed that the Texas Governor's Mansion is also holding a press conference. ”

Stepping off the podium, just out of the range that the reporters could hear, Vice President Joseph couldn't wait to speak.

"Huh?"

Ulysses frowned, and said lightly, "What do Tegras and Scana want to say?"

"It's not what they're trying to say. ”

Joseph's eyes were already a little desperate: "It's Hovington who wants to say something, Tegras and Scana have organized the elite to infiltrate the dark town in the past two days and successfully rescue Hovinton, and now Hovington has returned, and he is now at the governor's mansion in Austin, at the press conference!"

Ulysses's face changed dramatically in an instant!

At the same time, the long guns and short cannons in front of the rostrum were already aimed at the pale-faced Dabinit.

When Dabinite raised his hand weakly, the reporter whose name was called stood up and said in a straightforward tone: "Mr. Councillor, what is your opinion on the issue of the border town?

Dabinite was one of the deputy commanders of the war command.

Ulysses, the commander-in-chief, naturally can't pay all his attention to the border town, his eyes are on the situation in the Shenzhou Empire and Asia, and the U.S. marshal and deputy commander of the war command Al Lahn naturally wants to assist the president in mobilizing troops, Hovington is now captured, and only Dabinit, the deputy commander, has the kung fu to take back the border town, so it is only appropriate to ask Dabinite this question.

"Well, yes, with the words of the United States, there is no problem. ”

Dabinite was silent for a moment before subconsciously speaking.

The reporters were dumbfounded.

What is this saying?

Dabinite also seemed to realize his gaffe, smiled bitterly, finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, on the way here, I received a very unexpected news, and my heart was a little confused, so..."

The reporters were directly excited.

This time, without waiting for Dabini's name, all the reporters opened their mouths and asked what the unexpected news in Dabinit's mouth was.

The news that can keep Dabinite alive must be a big deal.

On the podium, Dabinite took a deep breath and said in a depressed tone: "A few hours ago, my best friend and most important assistant Erwin was kidnapped by Skarna, and I received a call from Skarna not long ago, and he asked me to keep his position and power or else kill my best friend. ”

Dabinite finally said it.

Although these words are somewhat wrong in time, ninety percent of the content is true, at least in Dabinit's eyes.

Only by spreading the news can he try to use the anger of the people and factions to subdue the third of the power that belongs to Erwin of the Dabinite group.

With Erwin dead, this was his last chance.
