Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 11: A World in Turmoil
Sydney, Australia.
The United Nations temporary headquarters has been relocated from Manhattan Island in New York to the Houses of Parliament in Sydney. In the midst of the war, it was clear that Manhattan was no longer suitable as a headquarters, and Australia, which seemed to be an isolated island far from the main battlefield, was a good choice.
Along with the relocation of the headquarters, there is also an elite BPRD unit codenamed "66", whose duty is to defend the temporary headquarters, and its members are all the best of the best.
But rather than the relocation of the United Nations headquarters, the influx of journalists from all over the world is more concerned about the war that is taking place now, and this is what humanity in the whole world is concerned about.
It is no longer possible for the BPRD to remain secretive, and the secret they have always wanted to keep is finally being made public today. Everyone in the world understands that mythical threats are not just myths, and that those creepy fears are real.
As the truth was revealed, the whole world panicked, and someone finally came out to expose the truth about the Vatican incident: this was actually a vicious incident created by the devil.
People watched in horror on television, on their mobile phones, the terrible battles that took place on the island of Manhattan. It wasn't war at all, it was a one-sided crush, and humanity's most elite troops were so vulnerable to the legions of Hell that people almost despaired.
But it was also on the first day of the war that people around the world saw the true strength of the BPRD through real-time footage from drones, and they saw the duel between Ander Locks and Astaroth, and the heroic posture of him and his soldiers fighting for humanity, which gave some comfort to those who had just experienced despair.
It's 8:30 p.m. Australian time, and it's time for the UN Secretary-General to prepare for a press conference.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Vincent Domhain, is a sturdy, middle-aged man, who is a little younger than his older predecessors.
Vinson was a former warrior, he was a member of the French special forces, and his last rank was Brigadier General. But he didn't continue to serve in the army, and he saw too many deaths on the battlefield, so he decided that he must dedicate the rest of his life to creating a peaceful world.
Since he became Secretary-General, the world has suffered from many fewer wars because of his efforts. He was sometimes gentle, sometimes tough, but always on the facts, and this vigorous style earned him the respect of everyone in the United Nations.
Vincent's relationship with the BPRD is also very close, because he was a soldier himself, so he can better understand the meaning of the existence of this organization. He and the current commander of the BPRD, Rajer, can be called close friends, and there are many problems that they solve privately through mutual conversation.
Vincent was now arranging his clothes in front of the glass, through which he could see reporters from all over the world anxiously waiting in the hall. But Vincent didn't feel irritated, and his first rule of life was to never be disturbed by his surroundings.
"Secretary General Vincent. The secretary standing next to him couldn't help but remind him. "This press conference is very important and we have to put everyone in the world at ease, and to be honest, I'm already feeling nervous right now. ”
"Don't be nervous. Vincent said unhurriedly as he straightened his tie. "Just relax, it's just like the press conferences that we attend every day, it's not a big deal. ”
"Someone is coming, Secretary-General. The secretary suddenly whispered to him.
Vincent turned his head to see that it was Grent, the commander-in-chief of Unit 66, who was walking towards him in full armor.
Grent was a man who didn't even have a surname, and he never talked about his family. He is almost an inconspicuous person in the BPRD, he has neither established a very outstanding feat, nor has a far-reaching deed, he is almost a transparent guy.
But Rajer took a fancy to him: Grent never cared how much credit he had to build, he believed in command, which was somewhat similar to the wild hunt, but unlike the wild hunt, Grent had human feelings and superior judgment.
"What's the matter? Vincent asked with a smile.
Grent looked at the secretary standing beside him with a wary look before he said in a bland and surprisingly flat tone, "In my opinion, I shouldn't have let you attend this press conference." ”
"But if I don't attend, the whole world will be in disarray. Vincent replied with a smile, "I know that you have been ordered to keep me safe at all costs, but my duty is to put everyone in the world at ease so that we can continue to fight. ”
"It's a dangerous situation, you never seem to have considered the possibility of an assassin sneaking in, what would you do if there were an assassin?" asked Grent, still in a flat tone.
"I guess you know I was a soldier. Vincent didn't mind the coldness with which Grent spoke. "If there were assassins, I think I would be able to detect them from my experience as a soldier for so many years. ”
"Then I'll have to respect you. Grent was always overly vigilant when he spoke, which made everyone around him feel uncomfortable. "But I still have to remind you, Secretary-General, to be vigilant at all times. ”
Grent turned to leave, now thinking that he would have to recheck the security measures throughout the hall again, and he had always been meticulous about his tasks, even in wartime.
"A guy who doesn't have any manners at all. The secretary grimaced as he left the way. "He won't even say goodbye, this man is like he has no feelings. ”
"But he's reliable. Vincent laughed and reached out to pat the secretary on the shoulder. "He is the man whom Commander-in-Chief Rajer values, and his meticulous spirit is exactly what we need now. ”
The secretary stopped talking, and since even the secretary general said so, he was only talking about anything more. Vincent raised his hand and looked at his watch, then exhaled a long breath: "It's time, let's go!"
His appearance caused an immediate uproar, and all the reporters were eager to ask the first question, and the questions they asked were like seawater, as if they were endless.
"Quiet, please be quiet for now. Vincent said, "If you can't be quiet, I won't be able to hear the question, so how can I answer that?"
Hearing what the Secretary-General said, there was finally a brief silence in the noisy crowd, and Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, finally calming their emotions first.
"Now it's time to ask questions. Vincent said in a relaxed tone, "You can raise your hand and ask questions, and I will answer you in turn." ”
Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, nearly a hundred hands were raised high, and everyone did not want to miss it, this is a question about the fate of this world.
"Okay, okay. Vincent looked at the hand in front of him and said, "Let me see, then let you come first, the tall and thin young man." ”
The face of the reporter who was named turned red, he never thought that he would be the first to be called, if he went home and talked about this kind of thing, he would definitely become a celebrity in his hometown.
"I, I. The young reporter was on the verge of stammering. "I would like to ask what kind of organization the BPRD is and what is their real purpose?"
"That's a good question. Vincent smiled and nodded motioning for the young man to sit down. "There are a lot of people here who want to ask this question, what kind of organization is BPRD, and what is the purpose of their sudden appearance? I can give you the answer to this question right now. ”
He cleared his throat and said: "The BPRD is an organization that has always existed, they have always had the leadership of the UN Security Council, and they did not pop up out of nowhere. Their purpose is also simple, everyone in this organization is the defender of humanity against threats, and they are fighting for the future of the entire human race. ”
"They are warriors, they have never cared about the safety of their lives, and the reason why everyone here can sleep peacefully at night is because with them, they will always be a strong city belonging to mankind!"
His speech was met with applause, and the whole world learned the true face of the BPRD organization through the cameras, and they suddenly felt that the world was not completely shrouded in despair, because there were still people fighting for the hope of tomorrow.
"Secretary General Vincent. A slightly chubby-looking reporter stood up and said. "Although the BPRD was formed to protect humanity, is it possible that they will also betray it? ”
"Your question is a bit sharp, but I can answer it. Vincent's tone began to become serious. "First of all, I want to remind all of you that these people who are fighting for us are heroes, but at the same time they are human beings, and human beings can make mistakes. ”
He paused and glanced at everyone present, "But they will never betray, because what they fought for was worth their lives, and their faith was beyond doubt. Furthermore, if there is a betrayal at all, I can assure all of you that we have a force dedicated to these matters. ”
Standing in front of the glass on the second floor, Grent listened to Vincent's speech, and felt a little complicated in his heart: Aren't you even going to hide the identity of the wild hunt? It seems that this time all the truth will be revealed to the world.
After Vincent's remarks, it was clear to everyone in the room that they had been relieved, at least they had thoroughly understood how brave and loyal BPRD was, which was nothing short of inspiring.
"Allow me to ask my last question for the day. A young and beautiful lady stood up and asked, "Although you may not be able to answer it, I still want to ask, can we really win this war?"
Everyone's hearts were clenched again, yes, every one of them knew how important the question was, but no one dared to ask the question because they were afraid that knowing the answer to the question might shatter the last hope in their hearts.
Vincent was silent for a full minute, the longest period of silence in his entire career. He quietly thought about how to answer, he couldn't lie, but he couldn't let the hope of the world fade either.
"To be honest, I don't know. Vincent suddenly laughed, but the corners of his eyes drooped. "I watched those fighters fight for us, they faced countless times more fear than we do now, but they were still fighting. ”
There was silence in the room, and everyone was watching Vincennes give his speech.
"They haven't given up, and as long as they haven't given up, humanity has a tomorrow. He suddenly raised his voice, and his impassioned spirit infected everyone present.
"Humanity will not perish today, for we will fight, let the legendary monsters who mock humanity laugh at it! We will continue to fight in the midst of that piercing mockery, even if we are bruised, even if we may die, we will still fight for that faint hope. ”
"As long as we don't give up, we will always have hope and a future!" he burst into tears, tears for the soldiers who died on the first day of fighting. "Because we are human, this is what we realize as human beings!"
No one retorted, no one continued to ask, and after a brief silence, Vincent's answer was the prolonged applause that echoed throughout the hall.
