Chapter 693: Gambler's Psychology Straight to victory
Is it a retreat? Or go on the offensive? For the U.S. government, it seems that they have only two such options. In Captain America www.biquge.info's opinion, if they were the kind of smart people, if they still had some sense, then retreat was the inevitable choice they would make.
But do these people really have any reason to speak of now? It was a question that the captain never thought about, and it turned out to be the biggest mistake he ever made. He underestimated the ambition of these people, and also underestimated the madness in their hearts.
For a conspirator who has seen the dawn of victory and is driven by ambition to gamble almost everything on himself, even if what the captain says is true, even if the possibility of his success is only a small one, he is not willing to give up so easily, he will desperately gamble on this little possibility.
This is the psychology of the most typical gambler, and Pierce they have clearly gambled with red eyes.
"Captain, do you think you can stop this with these ridiculous reasons?"
A simple sentence made the captain's heart sink to the bottom completely. He stared closely at Pierce, who said this, and said loudly to him.
"Mr. President, I can assure you with my honor and my life that everything I have said is true. I really saw that guy, right in the city. He's set the trap and is waiting for you to take the bait. If you do that, you're just giving him a chance to have a seizure. And by that time, it was already too late. ”
"If that's the case, then why did you inform us of such a thing, Captain? Seriously, when you appear in the enemy's camp and use violent means against the American military, your identity is already worthy of questioning. We have every reason to suspect that you have betrayed your homeland, and for a traitor, what is the need for us to believe what he says and use this as a basis to change our established strategy? ”
"Hell, General, I'm not joking with you anymore. Everything I say is true, and I have no reason to deceive you with such lies on this subject. ”
The captain's cries were almost hoarse, but the doubts from General Ross were unmoved.
"No, you have that reason. Steve. Rogers, when you took on the not-so-honorable profession of a superhero as Captain America, you had a reason to do so. You want to protect those mutants, protect those traitors. You put the so-called heroic honor above the national interest, and you want to stop this war for the interests of the United States, just to let those who should not live in this world live. ”
"What a ridiculous idea, for which you almost betrayed your homeland, and now you have come up with this ridiculous excuse to deceive us, to prevent all this. Isn't that what you have in mind? ”
"General, I swear otherwise. Even if I were to stop this war, I would not choose to stop it with this kind of one-and-stabbed lie. I guarantee that what I say is true, and I have no thoughts of treason at all. Everything I do is to protect this country! ”
Seeing the misunderstanding deepening. Or rather, this group of people who don't want to believe reality are bent on blaming the truth they say on a conspiracy. The captain could only explain more and more eagerly, and the commander from the American army just smiled at his explanation and said to him.
"If that's the case, then prove it to us. Captain Rogers! ”
"Proof? How do you want me to prove it? ”
The captain asked, with a gloomy face, who seemed to be aware of the dirty deeds in the minds of those people. And now that they have spoken out, these people will naturally not be afraid to speak out about their deeds.
"It's simple, I'll give you two options, Mr. Captain."
"First, you're on the verge of defection. Join forces with our robots to attack these damn mutants. When we take down the enemy's satellite cities, your suspicions will be almost cleared. ”
"The second is that you and your teammates go to do a more dangerous job. Didn't you say that guy was back? In that case, then go and hold him back as much as you can, so that he will not have time to intervene in our war. In this way, when the war is over, you will not only be able to clear your suspicions, but you will also be able to accept the honor bestowed upon you by this country as a hero. ”
Faced with such words, the captain was silent for a long time, and finally replied with a gloomy face.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to either of your conditions. You're not the solution to the problem, it's the way to make it worse. And I see that you don't have any intention of stopping all this. So I decided, I really can't rely on you for all this. ”
"So what do you want? Like I said, join those traitors? ”
Rescuing the smile on his face, General Ross looked at the captain and asked coldly. In response to this question, the captain stood up and looked at the two sides of the fierce battle in the distance.
"I'm going to end it all my way, no matter what it takes."
"Then you go ahead. I would be happy to see your name on the death list. Goodbye, Captain. Hopefully we'll have a chance to meet again. ”
With a hint of malice, Pierce waved his hand, letting his men cut off the communication. And after the communication was hung up, Pierce immediately noticed the face of General Ross beside him. Although they have just cooperated well, this does not mean that there is really such a tacit understanding between them, especially on this issue. Pierce could already see some hesitation in General Ross's face.
"What, you regret it now? Or do you really believe that guy has returned? ”
"You don't know Captain America as a person. He doesn't lie! Shaking his head, General Ross made his concerns clear. He is a pure military man, and there is no need for him to lie to us on this issue. So I'm worried that we might actually have one of the biggest threats. ”
"So what?" Hearing this, a look of nonchalance suddenly appeared on Pierce's face. "Aren't we prepared for the worst? Don't forget, Rose. How much preparation and how much of a bet we have made for all of this today. The future of the entire United States is in our hands. Now you actually say you're scared, aren't you kidding me? ”
"Listen, we've mobilized all the troops we can use on American soil, not just the Sentinel Robots, I've used everything I can use. So, it's absolutely impossible for us to have any more hesitation and hesitation, you know? ”
He took two puffs of his cigar and let the thick smoke envelop his face. It was a long time before General Ross replied.
"I see what you mean. So, do we need to move on to the second step now? ”
"Of course, General. This kind of thing, you are an expert, so everything is up to you! ”
Hearing General Ross' answer, Pierce smiled and took a step back, allowing Ross to face all the agents and soldiers here more directly. And with Pierce's cooperation, Rose tugged at the corners of his mouth and began to order.
"Where have the ground forces already gone, and how far are they from the main battlefield?"
"Forty kilometers away, sir. The tank brigade is already approaching the battlefield and is expected to be inserted into the battlefield within an hour. ”
"Let the tank units be on standby in the last ten kilometers, and the bomber formation will be the first to clear the way for me, and I will let them use all means to open a direct passage for me to come out of the steel satellite city, is there a problem?"
"Sir, the basic structure of the steel satellite city is all metal, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the yield carried by the two bomber formations to open a gap large enough."
A staff officer began to give advice, and when he heard this, General Ross immediately said.
"Contact the fleet on standby on the West Coast for me to have three Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines cooperate with the bombing formation to complete the strategic strike plan. After an hour, I'm going to see a passage being opened, is there a problem? ”
"No, sir!"
"Also, contact me with the air fighter formation and get them ready to escort the ship. I don't want our plane to be taken down by those damn mutants. In addition, two fighter formations should be equipped with air-to-ground missiles to be ready to strike at local strategic command centers at any time. At the same time, send two Marauder drones into the city to monitor the enemy's movements and prepare me for a strike! ”
General Ross listed almost all the targets that needed to be hit, but the soldiers in charge of conveying orders were hesitant to do so.
"General, there are still civilians in the city, isn't it a little inappropriate for us to do this?"
"Obey orders, soldier!" Raising his voice and roaring, Rose said solemnly to him. "This is war, and war has no woman's kindness. Your unnecessary worries, wait until the war is over. ”
"Yes, sir!"
A salute was answered, and the soldier immediately hurried away. And seeing Rose arrange everything in an orderly manner, Pierce also smiled proudly.
"You're professional, General Ross. In that case, then I will order the Sentinel Robot to advance in all directions. I believe that with your palace, those mutants won't be able to make any tricks. ”
"Of course, they can't figure it out. You should know though, I'm not worried about the normal mutants, but the more powerful ones. ”
Frowning, General Ross squinted and looked at Pierce. Seeing his eyes, Pierce immediately smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, I'll deal with those guys. My combat squads and Titan machines exist to deal with them. Rest assured, the victory is ours. ”
"Of course the victory is ours!"
Repeating categorically, General Ross's eyes were already full of determination. It's a battle that can't be lost, so they can only aim for victory.
But is victory really that simple? (To be continued.) )
