Chapter 204: The Martyr
"My name is Francis Morey, Brigadier General of the Internal Guard, not very famous, but all the Excellencies here should know me." He looked at the people present and paused.
Vice-President Maria Merson and Prime Minister Mr. Konoe Taylor looked at each other, and both motioned for the other to speak first, but neither was willing to speak, and immediately fell into an awkward stalemate.
Seeing this scene, the oldest person present, Field Marshal Ronald Erwin, the Minister of Military Orders who had just celebrated his eightieth birthday last month, and the first person in the Common System Uniform Group, sighed in a low voice and said, "Frank...... You've gone a little too far this time. ”
"I'm really sorry, Your Excellency, I'm in big trouble." In the face of this veteran of the era of independence, Brigadier General Francis Morey showed a considerable degree of respect and apology, but his attitude did not loosen in the slightest: "It's just that you also know me, and since you have done it, you will definitely do it to the end." ”
Marshal Erwin nodded with a blank expression: "So, what do you want?" ”
“…… I need you, Excellencies, to provide you with a Fletcher Type 4 destroyer to be here in half an hour to connect with the Azure Princess. On board are the Chief of Staff, His Excellency Admiral Schwartz, who is being unjustly detained, as well as several senior generals who have been unjustly detained, as well as their families. I've put the list in your work mailbox. In addition, I want 1 billion gold dragons. He paused and repeated, "It's the Golden Dragon!" I don't want banknotes and other promissory notes or anything, I'm a soldier and don't understand these vain heads. ”
"Indeed, I don't understand these vain things, and the golden gold coins are comfortable to look at." Marshal Erwin paused, his brow furrowing even more as he glanced through the screen and over the battle droids in the corner of the screen.
He pressed his temples and looked at the Prime Minister Konoe, who suddenly showed a headache: "Frank, you have to understand that the place where Admiral Schwartz is being held, the Ministry of Justice and the prosecutor's office involved, it takes time to communicate. As for the 100 million Golden Dragon...... Well, it's not that the central reserves don't have such reserves, but it takes time to mobilize. As for the ship, it will have to coordinate with the side of the National Defense Committee. Uh, is Chairman Nishita okay? ”
Morey smiled nonchalantly and adjusted the camera to make everyone look at Keith Nichta, who was sitting quietly in his place.
Mr. Chairman of the National Defense Commission has a very calm expression, sits in a very upright posture, and even has a bit of pride and unyielding in his eyebrows and eyes, which is indeed much more stylish than Mr. President Nockham, who is pale and panicked.
The marshal's gaze only swept quickly over the president and the chairman, and most of the time he was still staring at the combat robots at the edge of the screen,
"Oh, by the way, this is National Security Advisor Mr. Sharul Gander." Brigadier General Morey, on the other side of the screen, turned the camera on the elegant middle-aged man not far from him.
"He has been trying to convince me to negotiate since just now, what a dedicated gentleman! Said exactly the same thing as Prime Minister Konoe! Is Mr. Gander really in security matters? Not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? ”
Probably because Brigadier General Morey is now more friendly, Mr. Gander also squeezed out a smile and said: "This, you have won the award, and you have indeed served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." ”
Morey smiled and nodded, ignoring the other party, and said with a smile: "From now on, every half an hour, we will execute a group of hostages. The first time was one, the second time was two, the third time was four, and the fourth time ......"
The fourth time is eight? That's fine. Even if this thing dragged on for four or five hours, not many people would die. The big guys on the other side of the screen probably breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that there are more than 20,000 people on the Azure Princess, and even if it is such a killing method, it can still last for a long time. As long as it doesn't kill the big people and important foreign guests, then it's still acceptable.
But at this time, he saw Brigadier General Morey showing a solemn smile: "It's a pity that it's not eight, but sixteen." I'm a boring person, I like math, but I don't like addition and multiplication, I prefer squares. ”
So why are there two for the second time? Does the square of one become two? It's impossible for a PE teacher to teach math like that, right?
Except for Brigadier General Morey, it is estimated that there are many people present who want to complain like this, but no one dares to say it.
Everyone's hearts suddenly lifted, but before they could fall, they saw Morey pull out his pistol again and pull the trigger directly on Mr. Gander, the security assistant next to him.
Mr. Gander's forehead was pierced, and he was about to die in an instant. The eyes that lost focus were also condensed with confusion and horror, almost exactly the same as Brigadier General Robnam, who had died before.
It was probably also difficult for him to understand why the other party didn't play his cards according to reason, so he was so dumbfounded. Of course, thankfully, he didn't suffer much until he died.
There was another scream from inside the bridge, but it quickly ceased under the suppression of Morey's men and the armed robots, and gradually turned into some whispered cries hidden in the crowd.
Brigadier General Morey turned around and saluted everyone: "I'm sorry, I don't have any personal grudges with you, and I won't abuse you. As long as you don't act irrationally, whether you want to cry or scream, it's fine. This is the spirit of the universe, the nature given to us by the Lord of all things, and there is no need to suppress it! ”
That being said, who would dare to really liberate their nature at this time?
On the other side of the screen, Vice President Madam Merson almost wanted to scream, but finally covered her mouth at the last moment. , the Prime Minister Konoe was pale, looking at Mr. Gander, who was not looking at him, and he was happy and pity, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Marshal Erwin, who had seen too many dead people, could not have lost his temper, but the expression on his face had sunk as if a dark cloud was suppressed.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that time is counted from now on, not half an hour," said Morey. This is Francis Morey, and another message from the Azure Princess. You can continue to think about it. I am very grateful to Mr. Gander, who served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was really good at negotiating and bought you half an hour. If all of you in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could have shown such ability, many tragedies would not have happened, right? ”
"Don't do anything stupid! Everything about the Azure Princess is under the control of my rule. In addition, the destroyer on the opposite side of the Flying Snow 48 is also my comrades, as soon as they find any of your ships entering the cordon, they will immediately open fire on the Azure Princess! So, one last reminder to all of you, don't do anything stupid! I trust your sanity! ”
The brigadier general gave a military salute to everyone, and then cut off contact without saying a word.
His eyes passed through the bridge, and he immediately saw the two destroyers that had turned into a pile of space junk, and his heart ached slightly. However, when Blizzard 48 slowly came into his field of vision, Brigadier Morey's little intolerance had already disappeared.
"It's all ...... Necessary sacrifices! He said to himself. He said the same thing to his companions, including Major Oishi and Captain Duwin, who were commanding on the Blizzard 48.
At that moment, he felt as if his gaze had passed through the steel fortress that made up the ship and the constraints of cosmic space, and he had a momentary eye contact with the two friends on the Blizzard.
"We are traitors now, but we must be heroes in the future!" He said to himself again.
Commodore Morey looked further afield, painted red and blue cruisers. Now frightened, it stopped out of the range of the Blizzard 48's main gun.
They're all students of the drill, right? Morey quickly identified the two ships and simply ignored them. In comparison, the more than 300 security personnel on the ship who were locked in their own security rooms, and ...... That person is more likely to pose a threat.
"Is he really dead?" Brigadier General Morey still lacks real sense. He himself is also a psychic of the four rings, and he has barely stepped into the threshold of the high ring, and he knows too well how strong the vitality of the sages of the high ring is.
"In any case, the winner is you! You've succeeded in skipping the level. Don't you feel like you've grown a lot? In his head, there was a faint voice chattering.
"Anyway, you can't turn back, can you?"
Oh, yes! There's no going back! If you succeed, you still have a future! My future! Admiral's future! The future of the community!
Morey clenched his fists, feeling like a martyr carrying a load.
In a conference room on Earth, the big names who dominate the country fall into oppressive silence. If it weren't for the fact that there was a backbone there, I am afraid that such silence would have lasted for a long time.
Self-touched madman! It's either possessed by dirty things, or it's dirty itself!
Marshal Erwin cursed inwardly, tapped his hand lightly on the table, and after regaining everyone's senses, said to the Vice President: "Madam Vice President, now Mr. President is no longer able to fulfill his duties. It's up to you. ”
How do I do it? I'm not experienced with this kind of thing, huh?
Although Ms. Merson thought about it day and night, she hoped that Mr. President would have an accident one day, so that she would be able to take office directly without staying up in the Shura field of the general election. But the problem is that she rose from the senator to the sky step by step, because she looks very close to the people, speaks well, and has a good relationship with the media.
"Your Excellency Marshal, you are the expert, and here, everyone needs your wisdom and courage!" Miss Merson said to the marshal.
She really doesn't have the talent and ability to make decisions on the spot, but she still has such basic politician skills as throwing the pot.
The marshal looked at this vice president lady who was only half his age and could be regarded as a, and his heart began to mmp.
I'm an expert on! I've been in a war, but I've never dealt with anything like that, have I? At this time, you don't want to take responsibility, and that's how you are.
However, it is understandable that this woman does not dare to decide. The president plus a large number of high-ranking officials, plus a group of important foreign guests were actually held hostage in the sky above the capital star, what a special life to see!
Who would have thought that the person in charge of the security of the entire event would jump back? Really, what is that kid Wang Jingyang doing? Didn't he know that his deputy had mental problems? Didn't you swear that your own abilities are the best at perceiving and judging hostility?
Although Marshal Erwin didn't know much about the occult, he had really seen the supreme power of Wang Jingyang and his brothers. Because of this, he was appointed commander of the Blue Guard and put him in charge of the security of the final link of the Navy Day celebrations. But I didn't expect to play such a place.
"A high-ranking psionic master doesn't mean omnipotent! Marshal Li taught me at the beginning, why did I forget it when I was old? He smiled bitterly at himself, and then thought of a possibility: "This, won't he jump backwards too?" ”
Marshal Erwin just thought about it, and then quickly shook his head in his heart. Although he began to doubt the ability of Wang Jingyang and his senior brothers, he absolutely trusted their character.
The marshal looked at him with blank eyes, like begging his father to give him a bear child. In terms of age, he can definitely be the father of these two. However, he also knows that if there is any mistake in his decision, which leads to any tragedy, it will definitely be these two people who push himself out afterwards.
Forget it, it's all this age, it doesn't matter what happens.
…… Tsk, that old boy from Perris is so lucky, he actually went to the "New World" to get away, so he doesn't have to care about the mess here.
Thinking of this, Marshal Erwin made up his mind and began to give orders: "A billion golden dragons, ships, and Admiral Schwartz, I hope everyone will prepare." At least make a show and convince Morey that we're really preparing! ”
The vice president looked at the prime minister, who gritted his teeth and nodded hard: "Understood." ”
Alas, they are all important national precious metals and foreign exchange reserves!
"Also, give me all the itineraries for half a year in Morey! I want to know where he's been, who he's met, and what unknown things he's come into contact with! Find out in less than twenty minutes! The marshal stared at the heads of the intelligence department present, his eyes were like sharp blades, and he almost wanted to kill the other party.
Alwin snorted and pulled back a curtain of light, which turned out to be a hand-drawn painting, and it was none other than those combat robots on the Azure Princess.
"This, this is ......"
"I graduated from the Royal Academy of Art when I was younger, and I studied drawing and engineering ......aesthetics," the marshal wanted to praise triumphantly, but then realized that it was not the right time, so he coughed and pointed to the picture: "This is Morey's robot!" As far as I know, it is not a type of active military combat robot in our country, or even in the main military countries, I want to know their models and origins! Check it out now! ”
"Is this still twenty minutes?" The person in charge of the national unification said hard. They are civilian, probably because they think it will be easier to talk this way. What else would you do? Didn't you see the person in charge of the commission, a major general, who was already trembling and didn't dare to speak?
"Fifteen minutes! In a second at night, I'll tie you all to the antimatter bomb and drop it into the white dwarf! ”
Everyone didn't have to imagine that scene to already numb their scalps, except for nodding their heads constantly, hurriedly saying goodbye and taking their men to work, there was nothing else to say. But in the crowd, I don't know that the person whispered coldly: "Antimatter bomb...... Isn't it still being tested? ”
"Wouldn't that be better?" Marshal Erwin said.
The responsible persons of the national unification and the committee stumble, and the movement of going out was much more hurried.
The marshal pressed his temple and was about to confess something else, when a staff member of the presidential palace rushed into the conference room, and just happened to pass by the high-ranking officials of the intelligence service, and almost bumped into his arms.
"What's wrong again?" The vice president shouted in a deep voice, this will always be a bit of a strong woman's domineering.
"Madam Vice President, Excellencies...... Outside, people from the major media outside have already gathered! Ask us to publish the truth of the incident! This ......"
"When did it leak out?" Prime Minister Konoe was furious: "What are the people from the Propaganda Department doing to eat? What about the people in the Information Department of the Presidential Palace? They should all be tied to torpedoes and launched into a black hole! ”
"There are a lot of reporters on board the Azure Princess. He just talked to us, and it was all broadcast through the equipment that the reporters carried......"
The rulers of the community present were all frightened, and almost jumped up in panic, and hurriedly wondered if they had any gaffes before. This is much more important than the life and death of the 20,000 people on board, plus Mr. President and all the foreign guests.
Of course, they were not fools after all, and they regained a little composure after being sure that the footage obtained by the media should only include Brigadier Morey's side, and it was impossible to shoot their own side.
The marshal pressed the strength of his temple several times: "How I miss the time of Marshal Li! At that time, there was still a press regulation, although we were always told by other countries that we were not free or something, but at least ...... It won't be as troublesome as it is now! ”
This is really too politically correct, everyone present is laughing, and I really don't know how to take it. Of course, it is really unclear whether someone took the opportunity to memorize a little book.
"Prepare the Dragon's Breath Gauss cannons on the Fortress of the Sun and the Fortress of Eagle Fortress...... At the same time, two combat cruisers and dreadnoughts equipped with high-power light spear main guns were transferred. "Field Marshal Erwin began to give orders.
“…… Long-range artillery strikes do have the potential to kill the mutinous Blizzard 48 in one hit, but it's too far away for us to guarantee a hit. In addition, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect the Azure Princess next to it. Some generals probably guessed Marshal Erwin's thoughts, and couldn't help but remind him.
"I know, but do what you order." The marshal pressed his temples and asked, "Where is the closest warship to our side from the Azure Princess?" ”
"This ......"
"Say!"
"Yes, it's the two Touring Imperial History-class ships that just finished the exercise! However, the people on the ship are all students! ”
The marshal was stunned when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought.
