170. African Brotherhood
After the Osiris fell, the area was in full swing of repairs, and even the restaurant showed the strong smell of gunpowder that can only be found in the war, and the cook Fiona took the job of the head chef and commanded everyone strictly.
"It's almost time for lunch, don't worry about any bread first, use flour to make steamed buns directly, so hurry up, and use the reserved canned food for the side dishes first." Isabella, haven't you washed the dishes yet? ”
"Right now!"
Princess Elizabeth, who goes by the pseudonym Isabella, is in this Shura field. In order to cover up her identity, she wrapped herself tightly, with masks and a hood, revealing only two big watery eyes. Pampered since childhood, she has long been sweaty because of high-intensity labor, and her stuffy clothes are full of sweat, but she didn't complain, she didn't want to drag everyone down because of her own problems. She thought, "I heard that many people were injured and some died in this landing, all because I asked to come to Earth, I have to do something for everyone." ”
Her hands were not skilled at sorting out the cleaned dishes, and when she was busy picking them up after the dishes were finished, one foot slipped and fell, and the freshly washed dishes spilled all over the ground.
"Isabella! Are you okay? Fiona asked.
Elizabeth sat up and waved her hand, and with tears in the corners of her eyes, she apologized: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm going to take it and wash it again. ”
Fiona squatted in front of her, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It's okay, just wash it again, you go and set the rest of the dishes first." ”
The restaurant was quickly cleaned up under Fiona's commanding command, and all that was left to do was to transport the prepared food to the various areas.
Elizabeth followed Fiona to the hangar to deliver lunch, which was exactly what she wanted, and she wanted to take the opportunity to ask about Lynd's and her sister.
Coincidentally, Natasha and Edward were pestering Anton to ask about it.
"Lieutenant Anton, we heard what HER's new machine said during the battle with Lin Ao, don't hide it from us." Natasha said.
"What?" Anton deliberately played dumb.
"There's a princess of HER on this ship, right? Is it the woman Lin Ao brought back? Why are you hiding her? ”
"This is not something you should care about, you are not allowed to spread these rumors, I still have something, you should go and help Lao Ah repair the body!"
With that, Lieutenant Anton ran away, and Natasha was about to have a seizure, but she saw Elizabeth, who had just come in to deliver food. Although the other party was very tightly wrapped, she still saw Elizabeth's unique temperament at a glance.
"Give me a copy!"
Natasha walked silently towards the food truck, and Edward thought she had gone to pick up her food. But she took advantage of the confusion of the crowd to pull Elizabeth into the corner, and when she came up, she said straight to the point: "I saw your sister on the battlefield." ”
As Natasha thought, Elizabeth's eyes flashed with a twinkle, and she asked, "Why did you come to this ship, do you have any purpose?" ”
Elizabeth wanted to know about her sister, but Natasha's aggressive attitude frightened her.
"Hey! I said why don't I see you help me get the meal, you have changed your taste, and you want to get Ji? ”
Edward suddenly appeared, and Elizabeth broke free of her arm and escaped while Natasha was distracted. Natasha was about to chase after her, but was stopped by Edward.
"Don't stop me! She's the princess of HER! ”
Edward said calmly: "Whether she is or not, you can't treat people like this, right?" What's more, she was brought back by Lin Ao, so let's ask him about the specific situation when he comes back. ”
"Cut!"
Natasha used her grappling skills to subdue Edward, but Edward was not an idle person, and pushed Natasha away and said, "Stop messing around! Since Lieutenant Anton has acquiesced to her on board, don't bother anyone. ”
"Don't regret it when she kills us!"
Natasha huffed away, and Edward shouted behind her, "Aren't you going to feed yourself?" This man is really..."
…
"Django. Colonel Abraham, that's the Osiris! It's too big! Much bigger than our African Brotherhood warship, no wonder it fell so loudly! ”
A jeep drove through the sweltering desert toward the Osiris, with two people occupying it, one was a fat black driver, his name was Corporal Skye, a subordinate of Colonel Django whom he had just mentioned. Another tall and thin black man was full of heroism between his eyebrows, he sat on the co-pilot and looked at the Osiris with a telescope and said: "This is the latest type of warship built by the Star Alliance, and it was built so big to show off its muscles for HER, but unfortunately now it belongs to the independent Mycenae." ”
"Colonel, such a big battleship should have broken down, right?"
Django frowned and said, "I hope not, I hope their helmsmen are skilled, or I won't be able to return this time." ”
The jeep drove for another ten minutes, and finally came to the ship of the Osiris, and because they had been greeted in advance, their arrival was greeted by Captain Li Youde.
"Welcome, Colonel Django, I'm Brigadier Lee Youde of the Mycenaean Guard, the captain of this ship."
Li Youde took the initiative to salute Django very politely, and Django also politely returned the salute and said, "What a grandeur!" The Osiris! The ship, named after an Egyptian deity, looks as if it was actually possessed by a god. ”
"Where, where... We were forced to land in your sphere of influence due to a battle with HER on the time of landing, and I hope that the African Brotherhood will give us a few more days to get out of here when I am ready. ”
"Well, my mission is to confirm this with you, and it stands to reason that the people who fight against HER are our friends. It's just that such a large ship full of weapons landed on our territory without saying hello in advance, and we also have our concerns... I think we'd better find a secluded place to talk, Captain Lee. ”
When Li Youde heard this, he thought that Django was going to ask for a bribe in private, although he was disgusted with this kind of thing, but the most important thing at the moment was to protect the ship, so he led Django to the captain's room without saying a word, and his bodyguard, Corporal Skye, stood guard outside the door with Li Youde's guards.
"Do you have any requirements?" Li Youde poured a cup of tea and asked straight to the point. He had expected Django to read out a number asking for a bribe, but Django repeated what he had just said.
"This ship, named after an Egyptian deity, seems to be possessed by a god."
Li Youde asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?" ”
"Please take a look at this."
Django clicked a few times on his wrist on his personal terminal, and a map of Africa painted with various color patches was projected.
"Captain Youde Lee, as you can see, HER has now occupied nearly half of our territory. And 20 kilometers northeast of where you crashed, there is a battlefield. ”
Li Youde asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"I've heard about the Osiris for a long time, and wherever you go, you're going to help the locals fight the HER, aren't you? You've even taken out one of HER's generals. I hope you can help me take the battlefield I am talking about, so that I can help you gain military access to the African Brotherhood. ”
Li Youde suddenly realized, he said: "This, what you said is what Captain Shepard did in the past to raise funds, and he is not unprovoked kindness, the ultimate goal is to recapture his hometown Mycenae, and he has done it." ”
Django stepped forward and said, "I can hire you too!" ”
Li Youde waved his hand and said: "I'm really sorry, I have a mission to come to the earth this time, and I can't stay in Africa forever." ”
"That's right..."
Django spread his hands in disappointment and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help, my superiors want you to leave the country immediately." I didn't need to send anyone here, just let you know. ”
"So Colonel, you came here in person, did you want to hire us?"
Django sighed: "Do you know, although the African Brotherhood is also a major force, the member countries are more independent, and militarily, each country sends its own army and votes for a commander-in-chief to command. However, after a disastrous defeat in an important battle with HER, many countries lost their fighting spirit, and even conservative and neutral politicians took the opportunity to come to power. They are ostensibly still a member state, but they do not send troops to participate in military operations just to protect themselves, and even secretly make overtures to the HER... The current African Brotherhood is a mess, and although I am a colonel, I don't have many troops under my command. Truth be told, I want to change that, but the first step is that I need help to take that battlefield, and only then will I have a reason to go to more countries and lobby them to support me, otherwise my superiors will keep me trapped here under the pretext that I am not in good command. Captain Youde Lee, please do me this favor, for the sake of the people of Africa! I'll definitely help you get the right of way! ”
Li Youde thought for a while, with the current state of the Osiris, it would not be able to fly on the high seas at all, and it would be impossible to suspend it in the air, and he asked: "With all due respect, Colonel, if I help you fight, will we cooperate with the official African Brotherhood or yourself?" I don't know much about you. ”
Li Youde asked this because he was worried that Django was going to be out of the blue, that he had his own calculations behind his back, and that he who didn't know the inside story would be involved in a complicated struggle for power and profit, and would be used as a gunman.
Django shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this is your official cooperation with the African Brotherhood, and you will help me fight such a battle." ”
Li Youde nodded: "Okay, please tell me the information you know, and I will try my best to cooperate." ”
"Thanks!"
Django's hand was clasped tightly with Lee's hand.
