(I've been busy lately, and I'm finally free to update)

"Baron Humphrey, are you that we want to go to the universe and have to go to Mexico?" Captain Shepard asked.

"That's right, there is an airport in Mexico for our Moore Chamber of Commerce, which can allow this warship to complete the modification to the universe."

Captain Shepard frowned, sighed and asked, "I'm afraid this trip won't be easy, now that the entire territory of Mexico is occupied by the New Republic of Gran Colombia (RC), and RC is an ally of HER, you have to cross the enemy's occupied zone..."

Baron Humphrey smiled and pointed to the location of the Moore Chamber of Commerce on the AR map, "You don't have to worry too much about this, the major powers of RC have cut off business ties with them since the alliance with HER. They can only rely on our Chamber of Commerce as a transit platform to trade. Therefore, our commercial port is an absolutely neutral area, and I have communicated to the major warlords of the RC to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Hearing Baron Humphrey's generous acknowledgment that the Moore Chamber of Commerce was helping HER's allies trade, Captain Shepard was speechless for a moment. It seems that in the eyes of businessmen, as long as they can make money, there is nothing wrong with helping the invaders. But now he had to count on Baron Humphrey for help, and Shepard could only pretend not to hear it.

"In that case, I'm going to follow your trip to the commercial port of the Moore Chamber of Commerce, on the outskirts of Chihuahua, Mexico. However, before that, the Osiris will escort the North American Rescue Leader Kobe Bryant with the submarine of the New Muscovy. Jordan traveled to Portland and then rerouted to Mexico after completing the operation. I would like to leave it to you in this period of contact with the RC, Your Excellency. ”

"Obey, Major General."

Baron Humphrey bowed gracefully and exited the bridge. As soon as he went out, he dialed Thomas with the smart gold watch that stayed on his wrist. Moore's phone.

"Mr. President, I'm Humphrey. According to yours, I have taken the Osiris to the universe, and I promise that nothing will go wrong. ”

"Good... Have you seen the boy named Lin Ao? What is your impression of him? ”

"I've met once, although I'm a warrior, I'm still childish. I don't know why you're paying special attention to him, President, but you'll be able to meet him in business soon. ”

"Okay, thank you."

"Goodbye, Mr. President."

Humphrey turned off the comms and left humming a piece from the opera "The Wandering Dutchman."

…

In the South American city of Asunción, citizens are holding a grand "Bolivar Festival". The festival commemorates Bolívar, the liberator of South America hundreds of years ago, who once expelled the colonizers of South America and established the independent country "Republic of Gran Colombia", known as the liberator of South America. But neither he nor the republic he founded were left to chance, and the Republic of Gran Colombia soon split into South American states. Although Bolívar did not fulfill his ideal of establishing a republican South American nation, his ideas have always impressed the South American people throughout history. More than 200 years ago, after the rest of the world began to enter the universe, South American countries chose to pool their resources to reunite in order to catch up, and established the "New Republic of Gran Colombia". Bolívar's ideas contributed so much to this that the participating countries enshrined Bolívar as the father of the nation.

On both sides of the Paraguay River in Asunción, citizens dressed up with their families, waving RC tricolor flags in their hands, and enjoying the orderly floating boats and bands on the river, both sides of the river were full of laughter.

"It's incredible, it's clear that the entire earth circle is at war. But the common people are still so enthusiastic about the holidays, and their enthusiasm is even higher than in peacetime, is this phenomenon the same as the fact that people are more looking forward to Christmas in peacetime when the economy is sluggish? ”

A bespectacled, blonde officer is sitting on a couch in the former "mayor's office" inside Asunción City Hall, watching a broadcast of the festival on his mobile phone and talking to himself. Now this mayor's office has become the office of the senior general of the RC military, and the original mayor has been kicked out, so the man in glasses in the military uniform can sit here at will.

"Captain Homer, I'm sorry to call you over the holidays."

The door to the office was pushed open, and a fat, black, curly-haired man in a black general's uniform with colorful medals on his chest walked in. Hearing the fat man's voice, Captain Homer, who was wearing glasses, immediately stood up and saluted.

"Francisco. General López, as a soldier, I am always on standby, and it is my honor to serve you! ”

"No restraints, Captain."

General Francisco, though he was broad and fat, walked with a tigerish demeanor, and when he walked behind his desk and sat down, Homer asked, "General, don't you have to prepare a speech to the people in the future?" ”

Francisco leaned back: "I left it to the mayor of Asunción to do it, and even if they don't achieve anything, their politicians just need to coax the people to keep their positions." And our military position is maintained by military merits. ”

Listening to Frassisco's words, Homer thought to himself: "You fat man just wants to be lazy, and you are usually more diligent in the media than those politicians." ”

"Captain, look at this."

Francisco threw a report in front of Homer, who picked it up and flipped through a few pages and asked in disbelief, "What!?" Is this news reliable?! ”

Francisco smirked: "Reliable, the source is someone from within the North American Rescue Alliance, someone sold the Osiris for money." ”

"The Osiris that killed General HER Sasaki? Are they going to Chihuahua, Mexico soon? That's where we're responsible! ”

Since the HER began its invasion of North America, their allies RC have taken the opportunity to occupy all of Mexico, dividing their territory irregularly among the RC's major warlords, and the city of Chihuahua happens to be the occupied area of Francisco.

"Captain, what do you think?"

Homer thought for a moment: "General, I don't think we have to worry, just let them pass." The Intelligence-Riosiris, going to the merchant port of the Mor Chamber of Commerce, is not under our control, and we don't need to cause trouble. ”

"Your law is the same as my staff officers, but the captain..."Francisco suddenly stood up and proudly patted the numerous medals hanging on his chest: "... I'm Francisco. Lopez! Admiral of RC! The media call me the Napoleon of South America! But I haven't fought a decent war, and that's a shame on my reputation! ”

Homer knew Francisco's mind that a decent war was a war that would gain great fame. His boss, Francisco, may not be the most capable of the major warlords who control RC's military, politics and business, but he is certainly the one who wants to be famous the most. In other words, Francisco was dreaming of how he could be famous, and he had to be particularly famous.

“… Captain, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The Osiris crossed the North American continent and killed HER's general, and is now famous. And our allies also hate this ship! If we could destroy the Osiris, not only would I be famous all over the world, but even Frederick the Great of HER might thank me personally! ”

Francisco's eyes flashed at this, but Homer poured cold water on him.

"I'm sorry General, I don't advise you to do this, our forces' foreign trade depends on the help of the Moore Chamber of Commerce. If we attack their commercial port, the Moore Chamber of Commerce will inevitably stop cooperating with us, and the other generals will not give up. ”

"Idiot! Who's going to attack the commercial port? I'm going to attack them before they reach the merchant port! Don't forget that Jacques is still in Chihuahua! ”

Hearing this name, Homer's mouth opened wide in disbelief: "General, general, do you still want to use that ruffian?" I'll admit he's very capable, but... But his military discipline is really bad! Don't listen to orders at all! ”

"I don't listen to your orders, this beast is well tamed by me! I've already contacted Jacques to hold the Osiris in Copper Valley and wait for my capital ship to arrive for the final victorious charge! ”

"What?! General, your ship hasn't been repaired yet, Jacques and his team only have six humanoid weapons, and the Osiris has at least a dozen humanoid weapons, and he can't make it to us! ”

"Jacques he can do it! Alright, you go and get me a battleship! ”

Homer panicked out of the office, and Francisco poured himself a cup of incense, looking up at the fireworks in the night sky, a confident smile on his lips.
