Manhattan, Central Park. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
While Cologne was calling Norris, a reformer threw a lit torch into the pyre. Not far away, Liu Wei and the gray-backed jackal stood in the shade of a tree.
"Does this trick work?"
"The Yankees have no other choice, and even if Norris is hesitating, the military will pressure him to launch an immediate ground offensive." Liu Wei glanced at his watch and said, "There are still three hours before dawn, and the transport plane will not arrive at the rendezvous site for another four hours, and we must buy them these time." ”
The grayback jackal nodded, not saying anything more.
"Get ready." Liu Wei glanced at the gray-backed jackal and walked towards Cologne, which was more than ten meters away.
The Grayback Jackal hesitated slightly, then nodded to the dozen or so Retransformation Warriors standing in the woods, and asked them to prepare for the battle.
In the battle half an hour earlier, Liu Wei successfully took out the American troops who attacked the Federal Reserve Bank.
By the time he returned to the Empire State Building, the Grayback Jackal had already detonated a bomb planted on the building's exterior wall, killing the American troops who had entered the top floor of the building.
After the explosion, Grayback Jackal, Mobei Wolf, Bao Liuqing and Zhou Yulong each led a team of reconstructed fighters and attacked the Navy SEALs who were occupying the surrounding buildings. Because there were preparations for a long time, the battle was not difficult. When Liu Wei and Zhou Fen led the team back, the battle was already over.
Of the more than two hundred Navy SEALs, less than thirty survived.
During the battle, the re-reformed fighters showed amazing combat effectiveness, and with the ability to fight defenselessly, only three people were injured, and all of them were slightly injured, which did not hinder the next battle.
This victory surprised Liu Wei.
That's more than 200 Navy SEALs, anyway. In the past, fifty K1s would certainly not have been able to kill so many "seals" in ten minutes, let alone without casualties.
This result gave Liu Wei inspiration.
According to Liu Wei's request, all the 27 surviving "seals" were escorted to Dajun Square.
Although Liu Wei did not say what to do with these "seals", the gray-backed jackals could see at a glance that Liu Wei intended to use them to create opportunities for the retreating FOS legion.
What will Liu Wei do?
After explaining to the president, Cologne handed over the military phone to Liu Wei.
"Your Excellency, it's a pleasure that we're talking again." Liu Wei didn't give Norris a chance to speak, and continued, "Before getting down to business, you can send an unmanned reconnaissance plane over to see those commandos kneeling in front of me and confirm their identities." ”
"What do you want to do?" Norris was already in a hurry.
Without the president's orders, after receiving the news, Robert mobilized a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. Because the attackers lit a bonfire, low-flying unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were able to photograph the faces of the commandos. Screening was carried out at the same time, and it was quickly determined that they were "seals".
"That's the question I want to ask you, are you so forgetful?" Liu Wei's tone was not polite at all, "Your Excellency promised not to attack within twenty-four hours, and you withdrew the bomber. In order to make our cooperation pleasant, we expressed very strong sincerity and released 5,000 women and children. Unfortunately, Your Excellency has not fulfilled its promises, and there is still an hour before the deadline for a temporary ceasefire. You must bear the consequences of this! ”
After speaking, Liu Wei pulled out his pistol and put the muzzle of the gun on Cologne's forehead.
The national security adviser was startled, and then shuddered.
This scene was captured by an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flying just a few kilometers away.
"You can't do that!" Norris almost roared.
"Why not?" Liu Wei had already pressed the trigger. "By the way, Cologne is your staff and a bridge between us, and if he is finished, we will not be able to contact him."
"You ......"
As soon as Norris spoke, Liu Wei had already turned the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, more than 20 meters away, the Navy SEAL, who was kneeling on the ground with his back to Liu Wei, fell to the ground.
In the woods, more than a dozen reincarnated soldiers stepped out, rifles raised, and aimed at the SEALs.
The gunfire rang out again, and in unison, more than a dozen Navy SEALs became victims.
"Stop, stop immediately, they have lost their combat effectiveness, they are prisoners, they ......"
"Your Excellency, when you are playing, you had better think about how to write letters of condolence to the families of these soldiers. Their deaths must be counted on your account, and if it weren't for your decision-making, they would never have died here! Liu Wei said quickly, "This is just a lesson for you, the next time you make a similar decision, it is best to think about the consequences, do not act recklessly, otherwise it will cause more huge casualties, and it is not only the military who will be unlucky next time." ”
"You ......"
"Your Excellency, I will not ask for more in return, because I did not expect to be able to leave alive before I came here. It's just that you have to understand that in the event of another attack, we will be equipped to point guns at civilians. Before dawn, I do not want a humanitarian catastrophe, much less the harm of innocent civilians. If you still don't heed my warnings, I can assure you that today will forever go down in history and will not be forgotten for decades, if not centuries, to come, and that this day will grieve the American people every year. ”
"What the hell do you want to do?"
"I just want to do what I have to do."
"For the gold bricks in the Federal Reserve Bank?"
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"I know, you're not terrorists, you're not going to massacre civilians, all you want is money, just gold in underground vaults."
"Your Excellency, you are very honest."
Hearing Liu Wei's words and a consultative tone, Norris said again: "I don't care what you're for, but I will never let you hurt civilians." ”
"Your Excellency, so far, it is not me who is really hurting civilians, but you."
Norris was silent because he also knew that the bombing would cause incalculable civilian casualties.
"Just half an hour ago, you bombed the buildings around the Federal Reserve Bank. I can tell you that there were at least 20,000 civilians in those bombed buildings. While not all civilians were killed, the survivors will die a painful death after the unbearable ordeal. You have to understand that in the last few days, we have not killed civilians and provided them with basic living guarantees. When you accuse me, it is better to think about how to face the news media and how to take responsibility! ”
In the strategic command center, Norris has turned his attention to Robert.
In his order to attack, there was no mention of bombing other buildings.
"Your Excellency, believe it or not, that gold doesn't matter to us, because none of us can make it out of Manhattan alive. All we have to do is make you pay for the crimes you have committed. We will not deal with civilians, but we will make the evil American empire incapable of doing evil. Before dawn, it's best to keep your army in check. If something like this happens again, it will certainly not be us who will be hurt. ”
"If you do that, you're just leaving us with no choice."
"Do you have any other choice?"
Norris was silent again, he really had no other choice.
Just as Liu Wei was about to hang up the phone, Norris suddenly said, "I agree to your request, but you have to release Cologne immediately." ”
"Your Excellency, you have asked too much."
"He's my staff, and he's ......"
"Until we reach our goal, Mr. Cologne will remain here as a witness to history. I wouldn't hurt him because he's a communicative figure. ”
"You ......"
"Your Excellency, focus on your army, and don't let those stupid generals preside over the overall situation."
After Liu Wei hung up the military phone, he left Central Park with the remodeled soldiers, leaving the surveillance area of the US unmanned reconnaissance plane to be precise.
Inside the strategic command center under the White House, Norris was already in a state of rage.
The attackers had made their intentions clear, and they were so thorough that no one believed that they would leave Manhattan after the Federal Reserve Bank had been ransacked.
The reason is simple: since they have not thought of leaving alive, and their goal is to completely defeat the United States, they will cause even more damage and casualties after achieving their primary goal. When the time comes, civilians will be targeted by the attackers. Without immediate military action, there is no way to stop the attackers from turning their guns on civilians.
Turner hesitated for a moment, then said, "Obviously, the attackers will not rest on their laurels, and will act as a shield if necessary. From this, it can be judged that General Robert's guess was not wrong, and the attackers did not evacuate at all, and all remained in Manhattan. ”
"So, there's no need to continue tracking and monitoring the transport plane?"
"It is possible to track and monitor transport aircraft, but the focus is on this side, and all forces must be concentrated to support the impending ground offensive."
Norris let out a long breath and said to Robert, "General, when will we be able to launch a full-scale attack." ”
"It's okay at any time, it's just that the attackers are ready and we have to adjust the battle plan, so it will take a few hours to redeploy."
"Can you attack before dawn?"
Robert nodded and said, "Since the attackers are likely to be hiding among civilians and have to evacuate civilians at the same time as attacking, I recommend attacking after dawn." ”
"Military operations are up to you, no matter what, all enemies must be annihilated!"
"Yes, President!"
At this time, Sternberg hesitated, but saw that the president still had something to say, so he did not speak.
Norris nodded, and said: "Other agencies must cooperate and support the military, and after the offensive begins, mobilize all forces to evacuate the people in the areas occupied by the military." ”
After the president's order, both the federal and military agencies were mobilized.
At the end of the meeting, Sternberg sent the other ministers out, closed the door to the conference room, and walked back.
Norris was in no hurry to leave, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to be alone.
It is a pity that at this critical moment, there is no respite at all.
