At the Air Force Command meeting, Ahn and Lewis handed over the order, as well as a tablet loaded with a list of all Air Force personnel and weapons, and then stood to the side, waiting for Tang Shuxing's lecture.

Tang Shuxing looked at the order issued by Reinhardt, listened to the previous words of the two, and said with a smile: "You guys are very smart, who came up with the idea?" I want to meet this person, you have pushed the problem to me, what if the army side comes to us for trouble? ”

The two did not speak, but simply stood still.

Tang Shuxing looked at the computer and said, "It's okay if you don't speak?" Fortunately, you are here at the Air Force Headquarters, and if you ask me to meet alone in other places, General Ji and General Gu will have to doubt me and suspect that I am going to take over the power alone. ”

Ji Kefeng was silent on the side.

Tang Shuxing put down the computer, nodded and said: "Okay, I accepted this gift, I will go to the Air Force Headquarters tomorrow, it can be regarded as an inspection, let your generals wait, and also, the rebel personnel should not monitor and do nothing, just as if that incident did not happen, understand?" That is to say, from this moment on, the rebellion is completely over, and I do not want to hear about it again on any occasion. ”

"Yes!" Ahn and Lewis saluted.

The two then left, and Tang Shuxing turned around and immediately asked Ji Kefeng: "The most troublesome thing now is, what about those weapons of mass destruction?" In whose hands? I haven't heard anyone talk about these things yet. ”

Ji Kefeng sneered: "There are all three armies, it's terrible, right?" Including nuclear warheads. ”

"Damn it. Reinhardt really wants us to kill each other, and if we are not careful, if anyone uses it, everyone will be doomed. Tang Shuxing sighed, "He really wants to hide, let us destroy ourselves, whether we use it internally or externally, the resistance will definitely react, I think next, we should negotiate with the resistance." ”

Ji Kefeng asked, "Shouldn't you go all out to deal with the underground Shangdu?" ”

"That's just a door. After stabilizing the internal situation. The next thing to do is to talk to the Resistance. Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, "Although they are scattered now, this group of bastards has used a nuclear weapon once now, and Ismailia is gone." They already think it's a good thing. So. Maybe two of them will fly over us at some point, so we'll have to hold them steady anyway. ”

"Steady?" Ji Kefeng smiled bitterly, "The Middle East region is controlled by them. The energy is all with them, the Shangdu Wehrmacht has long since withdrawn, and the loyal army is a rabble. ”

Tang Shuxing looked at the map: "No, they can't grasp it, when will the shape of the Middle East be completely mastered?" What the Americans couldn't do back then, the Resistance could do? Shangdu was able to call the shots there before because of the high-pressure policy, and the whole policy also stemmed from the fact that the Shangdu Corps was almost overwhelming, and the local resistance groups were simply powerless to attack the garrison of Shangdu once, what was the result? You know better than I do. ”

Ji Kefeng knew very well that Shangdu had a very strange policy in the Middle East back then, and began to seek cooperation, which was relatively moderate, even if the locals had contact with the resistance, it didn't matter, because no matter how much there was contact, the energy could not be transported, and the resistance army would not dare to attack, but if the locals dared to be stupid enough to attack the garrison, then it must have been instigated by the resistance, at this time, Shangdu would arrest everyone related to the attacker, even if it was just people who were related by blood, several villages, hundreds of people gathered together, They don't kill or fight, they just announce it to the public - this is the work of the resistance, they are innocent, and now the resistance needs to hand over one person, only one person, and these hundreds of people will be fine.

But as a result, the Resistance never showed up, and shrank back.

After a few times, the local armed forces no longer trusted the resistance, knowing that the resistance was still inferior to the Shangdu Defense Army, so they didn't resist anymore, and they could do whatever they wanted, and it was better for them to be alive than anything else, because if they fell into the control of the resistance, they might not be as good as being controlled by Shangdu.

Therefore, now that the resistance forces are in control of that area, there is no good fruit to eat, and the people in that area were unable to defeat the corpse army in the past, but now their guerrilla policies and attack methods are not as good as the resistance forces of the US army back then?

At this time, the situation in the Middle East was indeed as Tang Shuxing expected, the resistance army did not get what he wanted, but continued to clash with the local area, and the lower-level officers began to suppress it in anger, but the result was round after round of various attacks, causing irreparable damage.

At the same time, Hans, who didn't understand how the situation would develop, had been waiting, but he didn't wait for Xia Jiezhu, Gu Huaiyi, Ji Kefeng and Tang Shuxing, but he was waiting for a clown.

When the clown appeared in front of Hans, Hans applauded: "Wonderful, in less than half a month, the situation was calmed down." ”

"I won the award, but the credit belongs to those three people, not mine." The clown sat down and said, "Now that I'm halfway done, I have to see Reinhardt die with my own eyes, because he's a traitor." ”

Hans nodded: "I see, you want to get the details of the underground Shangdu from me, right?" ”

The clown said: "I don't lie, I'm still very familiar with the underground, I know the situation of every inch of land, but there are only two areas I don't know, the fifth and sixth districts, the Heavenly Fire Forbidden Zone and the Nameless Zone, this place even my father can't know what it is, the strange thing is that in our information, there has never been any such thing, it's very strange, even if my father should have known a piece of ancient humans, but he didn't know that." ”

"I've lived with my people in the Fifth District for more than ten years, and I can tell you for sure that it's a training ground, and there's nothing too special about it, and as for the ...... of the Sixth District," Hans shook his head, "I don't know what it is, but I know that Reinhardt will go in from time to time, and the cave is windy and bottomless, and the first time I stood at the entrance of the cave, I only had one feeling, that is, once I walked in, I would die." ”

The clown said coldly, "Okay, let's get the problem back now." You don't want to die, do you? ”

Hans nodded: "Yes, my wish has not been fulfilled yet. ”

The clown shook his head: "You are too persistent, your time has passed, it should be said that the era you most look forward to is only those forty-four years, if I remember correctly, you were born in 1975, when the Cold War ended, you were only a teenager, you were the last closed disciple of the king of spies." But he missed the best era of being a spy -- the Cold War period. So. You've been wishing that day would come again, Hans, you're not lightly ill, and your mind is fundamentally different from normal. When the Berlin Wall fell. Almost everyone was cheering. Even the USSR breathed a sigh of relief, but you, you Hans . Honecker hid alone in the corner and cried in the dark. You think that the end of that era marks the loss of the best stage where you can express yourself, so, in your long career, you learned from your master and never showed his true face, instigated wars in third world countries, and even cooperated with terrorists, and finally you were picked by Sharman Power, thinking that you are simply a perfect war instigator, as long as you are there, you will not worry about not being able to sell a large number of weapons, and at the same time, your excellent watch Xiàn was also discovered by Reinhardt, And pick, right? ”

Hans nodded: "Yes, when I first saw the Creator, he said something to me, and he said that the time you have dreamed of will soon come again. ”

The clown said coldly: "Hans, you have a very strict mental illness, many people will fantasize about war, feel that fighting on the battlefield with a gun, becoming a hero is a happy thing, but most people will understand after maturity that war is a terrible thing and must be avoided as much as possible, if you want to experience war, then watch past movies and play games, but you are different, you like spy games from the bottom of your heart, like chasing and dodging, like calculation and layout, but unfortunately, in the ten years underground, You've wasted too much time, and even though you're not as strong as everyone else, you're no longer smart. ”

"yes, I'm not smart anymore." Hans nodded, "My teacher said that spying is a very contradictory profession, being a spy requires wisdom, wisdom comes from experience, and experience is accumulated from countless failures, the funny thing is that the profession of spy does not allow people to make mistakes, once they make mistakes, not only will they die, but their plans will also be lost." ”

The clown looked Hans up and down: "So, I said that you have a mental illness of Yan zhòng, very strict zhòng, Yan zhòng to the point that if you don't heal, you will become a psychopath, it should be said that your front foot has now stepped into the coffin, you are no longer that Hans. Onecker, but your teacher, you have been imitating your teacher, every move, word and deed, just like an actor, you are completely living in your own fantasy world, this is completely different from Xia Jiezhu. ”

"Xia Jiezhu?" Hans shook his head, "Why did you mention her?" ”

"Contrast, there is a contrast to see the facts." The clown sat down, "Xia Jiezhu is an excellent spy, but she hates this job from the bottom of her heart, a good spy is not cold-blooded, but full of feelings, only a spy full of feelings can make the right decision, Hans, you may have been able to leave a name in history, but unfortunately, from the day you promised Reinhardt to become his doll, you were destined to become an unknown person." ”

Hans looked at the clown and asked, "What exactly do you want to do, what do you want to say?" ”

"The most correct thing you did in your life was to let Xia Jiezhu go, but the premise was that Xia Jiezhu persuaded you, I'm curious, what did she say to you when your gun was aimed at the back of Xia Jiezhu's head? What did she say to make you decide to let her go, obey her arrangement, and send her to hell27? I don't think you're so stupid that you can't even guess what Hell 27 is, right? The clown sat there, waiting for Hans's answer.

Hans sat there and reminisced, recalling what happened when he escorted Xia Jiezhu out of the intelligence bureau building, walked to the back garden, and came with a pistol - Xia Jiezhu walked in front in handcuffs, without saying a word, he walked behind with a pistol, and when he was about to walk to the place of execution he identified, Xia Jiezhu suddenly asked: "Do you know how many years it is now?" ”

At that moment, Hans's heart felt as if something had struck him, because he had no idea how many years it was, he was like a man who had traveled from the past to the present day, to be precise, his mind was still stuck on the day of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and he was completely out of touch with this era.

Hans was speechless, didn't know how to answer, and at the same time didn't think about "why did he answer the other party"?

Hans also suddenly understood that maybe Xia Jiezhu had known about his affairs for a long time, even if he didn't know it very clearly, but he also knew part of it, why? The reason is too simple, Reinhardt's purpose is to hope that the two intelligence agencies can rotate and restrict, and even alternately exist.

After listening to Hans's explanation, the clown nodded and said, "Xia Jiezhu really learned a lot from Reinhardt, I think, in fact, there was another reason at that time, right?" ”

"Yes." Hans smiled bitterly, "At that time, on the periphery of the Intelligence Bureau, several action teams of Chichen were arranged, if I really wanted to shoot Xia Jiezhu, then I would also die, because Xia Jiezhu also said a word at that time, she said, do you know? Now there are at least dozens of assault rifles with muzzles pointed at you in the dark, and if you don't believe it, you just shoot and give it a try. ”

The clown smiled: "It's so simple, the answer is so vulgar, you are still afraid of death, and using your life as a threat is really the most direct way." ”

"No, no, no." Hans shook his head, "It's not that simple, it's just that at that time I suddenly understood that even if I had a strong counter-espionage team under my command, I couldn't win, because Xia Jiezhu and Zhan Tianya had been active in those ten years, and they had laid a net in Shangdu, and when I came out, it seemed to be a hungry spider who was ready to open its web to hunt, but in fact, I was the prey, at that moment, I knew that I was going to lose, but at the same time I was very excited, I felt that this was really the world I liked, but in this world, I'm no longer the main character, I'm just a stepping stone. ”

The clown got up: "The stepping stone can understand that you are a stepping stone, I really don't know if it's lucky or sad, what will you be like in the future?" I'm too curious. ”

Hans sat there: "I am nothing, I am an empty shell now. ”

The clown responded: "So, I ask you now, do you want to die for me, or for Xia Jiezhu?" ”

"I can't be the main character, then I'd rather disappear." Hans said lightly, "It's just that I still have a hundred people under me, all of whom are considered elites, I'll give these hundred people to Xia Jiezhu, she will like it, she is a knowledgeable person." ”

The clown shook his head: "You are wrong again, Xia Jiezhu never treats people as goods, so she is very good." Only when you treat people as human beings, will there be a plan close to perfection, think about it, does it make sense for you to treat the people below as weapons, excellent killing weapons? Do you think about what an assault rifle is thinking? ”

Hans sat there silently, took out his pistol, slowly loaded it, and set it to one side.

The clown got up and walked slowly outside: "A new era, no, a new era is coming, just like the fall of the Berlin Wall, your dream should be completely awakened." ”

"Nope. I'd rather live in my dreams forever. Hans finished and pointed his pistol at his temple.
