Chapter 414: Mass Destruction

Taking the microphone handed by the female interpreter, the young man with blonde hair and white skin in his thirties smiled, and when he asked the general on the podium a question, his face instantly turned cold again.

"Mr. Admiral, I am a reporter from the Military Observer of the M Empire, and I have a question, may I ask what kind of weapon you sank the patrol ship of country R."

There was not a single sound in the entire venue, and the reporter from the Military Observer of the M Empire was fluent in the official language of the Z Empire, and there was nothing wrong with his semantics, but his tone was a little aggressive.

"This question ......" The admiral pondered for a while, as if hesitating between answering and not answering, although the reporter of the M Empire Military Observer did not change in the slightest, but he was faintly anxious in his heart, if the general of the Z Empire refused to answer this question, strictly speaking, he would not have any way.

The silence lasted for nearly a minute, and everyone was almost holding their breath, and if it was a citizen of Empire Z watching the live broadcast on the Internet, you could see one reply after another refresh at the bottom of the screen.

"That's a bit hard to answer." The admiral had already thought about it, and his eyes met the reporters of the M Imperial Military Observer, and after hearing his answer, the reporters of the M Imperial Military Observer had an expression of "sure enough" on their faces.

"What's so hard to answer about this, the military budget of the Z Empire has increased by 20% this year, and you should know about this issue in the Z Empire, but I ask you to make your military spending public. Describe in detail what your military spending is used for, and what is it difficult to answer? ”

The blonde-haired male reporter didn't take the admiral's explanation to heart, in his opinion, I was afraid that it was an excuse made by the admiral, and he believed that after he said these words, the biggest possibility was that he was directly taken out by the other party, just like the female reporter before, so he didn't stop, and after realizing that the female translator approached him and planned to recycle the microphone in his hand, he immediately followed up and said: "Is the Z Empire planning to use military force?" ”

"You return the microphone to our translator first. I'll come back to your previous question. I'll elaborate. The unexpected admiral did not have any angry expression, and the blonde-haired male reporter was a little unsure, and he hesitantly handed the microphone back to the female interpreter, and his eyes never left the admiral's face.

"Desperate for military force. You have learned the Chinese language well. The Admiral nodded. That's a compliment. The blonde-haired male reporter subconsciously responded with a "thank you", but focused more attention on the admiral's next words.

"Regarding what you said, the weapon that sank the patrol ship of country R. In that last conflict, our Z empire was not used. ”

As soon as the admiral's words landed, a commotion rang out throughout the venue, and almost no one believed the admiral's explanation, not even the reporters from the Z Empire.

"It can't be."

Because there was no microphone in his hand, the reporter of the M Imperial Military Observer was a little anxious and tore his throat, but before his rebuttal was over, the admiral continued: "Of course, the sinking of the patrol ship of country R is an indisputable fact, and it can only be said that because the patrol ship of the R empire took the lead in firing guns, and when the patrol ship of our country counterattacked, it just hit the key position of the patrol ship of the R empire, resulting in the damage of the patrol ship of the R empire. ”

"What is this ......?"

The reporter of the Military Observer newspaper of the M Empire obviously could not accept this explanation, and he wanted to shout something more, but the female translator moved faster than him, and after signaling the rest of the reporters to continue asking questions, a huge number soon appeared on the screen.

"Reporter Eight, please ask questions."

A small commotion rang out, some reporters were discussing the situation after the previous two reporters asked questions, while others were secretly exchanging information from each other through unofficial channels, and among the fifty reporters in the entire venue, the first twenty-five reporters were all national reporters of the Z Empire, and they did not believe that these twenty-five reporters would ask any meaningful questions.

"Mr. Admiral, hello, I am a reporter from the Economic News of the Z Empire, and the question I want to ask is that the news media of the R Empire have reported before, saying that because of this conflict, the R Empire has lost important naval armaments, and they want our country to submit a compensation clause acceptable to both countries, what is the military's opinion on this issue?"

"Cut~~~"

Although I didn't expect it, but when the reporters of the Z Empire really asked, all the foreign reporters of the Z Empire still couldn't help but let out a deflated sound, sure enough, the Z Empire News had made certain instructions internally, and the questions asked were insignificant, and they wanted to stand up and say to the reporter of the Economic News of the Z Empire: Don't care about the compensation clauses, these are all shouting on the mouth, don't you see that Country Y has been beaten into a sieve by the M Empire, and can only nag about the compensation clauses?

"The military doesn't have any opinions, this is a matter for the Z Empire Parliament, the military of the Z Empire is responsible for defending the completion of the territory of the Z Empire and the security of the people, and we don't ask about money."

The general's answer was obviously much easier than before, which made many people inside and outside the venue clench their fists a little to suppress their cold sweat, but the female reporter who was kicked out of the venue before hated iron and steel.

"Is it a man, it's a man who boldly stood up and yelled out directly, even if he was kicked out next, he couldn't escape this problem."

Compared with the other reporters outside the venue, the female reporter's love was much more excited, but unfortunately her chatter could not be transmitted into the venue, after the general answered a question that reporter No. 8 was not painful, and then successively answered the questions of reporter No. 13, reporter No. 22, and reporter No. 3, which directly dragged the atmosphere of the entire venue to a dull point.

"Too! It's not a man anymore. ”

The female reporter who was kicked out of the venue gritted her teeth a little, and she turned her attention back to the door of the venue, looking at the four Z Empire soldiers with serious expressions. She wondered how she could go in again.

"This time I drew the number 40 reporter."

The group of reporters gathered outside the live broadcast screen was in a commotion, obviously they were powerless for a long time for the atmosphere of the previous venue, how could they not be excited by the fact that they had drawn reporters from outside the Z Empire this time.

The female reporter hesitated for a moment, ready to take another look, so she walked back to the broadcast screen and looked at the lucky one who had just been selected.

"Admiral Z, I would love to say hello to you, but my homeland has been violated by you. So allow me to ignore this most basic etiquette. "The man standing up was a little thin. The official language of his Z Empire was stiff and without any ups and downs, and as soon as he said these words, he immediately stood on the chair he had been sitting in because of his unusual movements. Two Z Empire soldiers who were in charge of the security of the news scene walked directly to this side.

"I don't mind. So you can go ahead. ”

The admiral seemed to recognize the origin of the man in front of him. After raising his hand to stop the two soldiers from moving, he looked at the man who had increased his height with the chair.

"I'm a reporter for the R Empire Economic Observer, and I work in my home country. Originally, I came to the Z Empire this time for the friendly exchange of citizens between the two countries, but I didn't expect that during my stay in the Z Empire, there would be such a strict conflict, no, this can't be called a conflict, this is a war! ”

The man in the chair was very excited, compared to him, the first reporter to interrupt the speaker's speech and be kicked out was simply mild, and many reporters put their snooping eyes on the Z Empire soldiers around them, expecting a further escalation of the conflict.

"Do you know how many of the heroic soldiers of our R Empire died in the previous incident that you called 'conflict' but which I thought was a war? How can you say that it's just a conflict? What kind of weapon did you use to attack our patrol ships and the warships of country F, did you think about its lethality when you designed this weapon, did you think about what serious consequences it would cause if you used such a weapon, and did you want to experience a nuclear war thousands of years ago? ”

The man standing on the chair no longer had the gentlemanly appearance that he pretended to be at the beginning, his stiff Z Imperial Chinese dialect had been converted into the official language of the R Empire at the moment when his love broke out, and the female translator who was originally standing in the group of reporters did not know when she was pulled behind by two soldiers on guard, and the eyes of everyone in the entire venue fell on this man.

Like a beast that has been robbed of its cubs, the R Empire reporter stared at the Z Empire officer on the podium.

After receiving the translated information from the walkie-talkie in his ear, the admiral's face was the same as before, without any change, he looked at the man who was more than a head higher than his gaze, and his tone was sonorous and powerful: "I can answer you for sure, in that conflict, the weapons of mass destruction you mentioned do not exist, nuclear energy has been limited to civilian use on the current planet, and the soldiers of the Z Empire love peace, but they are not afraid of threats." ”

"This is a lie, if there were no weapons of mass destruction, how could the patrol ships of the R Empire and the warships of country F sink?" The man obviously could not accept the admiral's statement, and he stared at the admiral viciously, as if trying to force him to tell the truth.

The general, who has been on the battlefield for decades, looked fixedly at the R Empire man in front of him, who was a good singer and songwriter, and when he attended this press conference, he had already anticipated all the problems he might experience, and the military top brass also gave him the authority to answer, within his ability, he had to find out more information for the Empire.

"On this planet, the weapon configuration of patrol ships is almost open and transparent in the world, even the M Empire E Empire, in the highest configuration of the patrol ship, it is impossible to be equipped with weapons sufficient to sink the warship, your accusation comes from your speculation."

"This is not speculation, I have a factual basis!"

The man suddenly lifted the tablet that was originally pinched in his hand, after his quick click, the tablet seemed to have the function of a projector, and the picture was soon covered on the screen behind the general, this is a satellite surveillance picture, although all the information in the lower right corner of the picture was deliberately covered, but the people present almost recognized where the monitoring map in front of them came from.

The global coverage satellite system that the M empire is proud of, captures the picture on the ground 24 hours a day, stores it in the server in 4D, and must enter the correct three sets of 24-digit passwords to get the picture.

"Although this picture is a little vague, but everyone can still identify it, on the second floor of this patrol ship, there is an officer with a gun barrel erected on his shoulder, it is this gun barrel that led to the sinking of the patrol ship of the R Empire, and the scrapping of the warship of country F, now my question is, Mr. Admiral, do you explain, is the lethality of this weapon?"

There was silence in the whole venue, all the reporters were struggling to write, all the reporters were using the shooting equipment to copy the satellite image, the man standing in the chair was angry because of the excitement of the emotion, although the voice trembled badly, but his mood was happy, he followed the predetermined arrangement, and forced the other party's spokesman into a dead corner.

The admiral with a calm face looked at the man in front of him with a flushed face, and just when the corner of the man's mouth showed a smile when the man could no longer suppress his joy, the corner of the admiral's mouth, who had not been expressionless, suddenly rose the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that made the man's heart skip a beat: "I still say the same thing, I can answer you with certainty, in that conflict, the weapons of mass destruction you talked about do not exist." ”

"And what kind of weapon is this?! Why was it able to sink a patrol ship and scrap a warship? ”

The man held his head high, like a victorious general.

"This weapon is a graduate application thesis for an officer in our empire." The Admiral slowly and word by word confided the answer, he had already got the information he wanted, and he would not mind giving a little bit of information to the other empires.

"What?"

"Impossible."

"Just kidding."

"I don't believe it!" The man standing in the chair was still shouting, but the two soldiers who had been signaled by the general grabbed his arms and pulled him off the chair.

"This is a fact, and the function of this weapon is to melt."

The admiral paused word by word, clearly. (To be continued......)
