Chapter 290. Purple Blood
"Please show your ID." The guards at the sentry were still holding their guns to their chests, staring solemnly out of the barracks. The officer on duty took off his sunglasses and hesitantly demanded from the uninvited guest.
"That's it." Simon pulled out an old leather wallet that had been turned over from the corner and stopped in reverse. "Simon Hayes Sgt. The non-commissioned officer of the Iron Army was even more confused, how could the specially awarded Hydra purple have such a low-level rank as a non-commissioned officer? Besides, it's not like an ordinary soldier's card.
"Spare him." Just when the star officer was in a dilemma, the senior officer with golden olive leaves and the major bowed slightly to Simon, took the registration book in the hand of the star officer, and swiped a few "John Mellon" monograms signed in the guarantor column. "Routine, sir." The Star Officer respectfully handed over the special pass with both hands.
There was only the sound of "snapping" on the high road surface of the barracks in Area B, and Major John Mellon shrugged and said, "The recent regulations, since ...... When something unpleasant happens on your side, the army will scrutinize Hydra strictly. โ
Simon naturally knew what Mellon was talking about, after all, he was the one who started the matter, all the way from the port area to the M area, the port joint defense force suffered heavy casualties, in order to intercept or assist Simon to go to the Hydra Auditorium, the pure-blood joint faction sent all walks of life to go straight to the steel city to set up a forbidden area. It's not a pebble thrown into a pond that ripples, it's someone diving into the water. Even though the Hydra are nominally honorary members of the army, it is impossible to tolerate indefinite infighting among other families that inexplicably trap themselves.
Simon said perfunctorily: "I understand, that's why I entered through the main entrance." As soon as Hydra purple appeared, it immediately attracted countless attentions, and hundreds of soldiers from the General Staff silently watched the already rare, and now even rarer Hydra walked by. The sharp-eyed ones already recognized who it was.
The officer who was able to establish himself in the High Command had some sense of smell more sensitive than anyone else, and Major Mellon coughed, slowed down, and said: "I have to say that you are very courageous, but I must warn you. He pointed to the I-shaped building not far away. Hydra's liaison office did not order her to move, so Ms. Ferosepurni is still there, as far as I know......"
"It's okay, I'm here to formally request an appointment with the brigadier generals, or the colonels who can make substantive decisions." Simon stood outside the I-building, a modest six-story building painted plain white, with the sound of keyboard strikes coming from the open and closed windows, and the occasional whip on the blackboard. Even before the war, including the theater command, Simon had only been there a few times, the first time for decorations, and the second time for decorations. This was a strange thing to him.
Major Mellon sighed and said, "The Brigadier General is not in the High Command during this time, and even if, until Hydra has not given a clear attitude about the attack on April 12, it is impossible for the Brigadier General to meet with any non-neutral Hydra who has been involved in the attack, and even if Miss Morfin visits herself, he will probably return empty-handed." โ
One white and one purple are extremely conspicuous outside the heart of the Iron Army, Simon doesn't want to make it more difficult to end, he knows that he has very few chips in his hand, and then he will inevitably reduce the price more ruthlessly, he directly went straight to the point and said: "I understand,
What about the other ways? Two colonels? โ
Simon glanced at the gate of the headquarters behind the three steps, and a bright purple leaped past, Simon bowed his head and said, "I need help, John." โ
Major Mellon silently raised the corners of his lips slightly, which was the most obvious attitude for a black-walled nobleman like them, and the major took the lead up the steps, Simon followed closely behind. "My father happens to be here today, and maybe you can come to some consensus worth discussing."
"Attention!" When the two guards saw the school officer entering, they immediately stood solemnly with guns, and the I-building of the headquarters of the Iron and Steel Army did not have an elevator, so they had to honestly take one step at a time, Simon's eyes flashed with a hint of obscurity, and he strode quickly.
"Yo Yo Yo, who is this?" Simon couldn't retreat to the wall, and with a shake of his shoulders, he bumped shoulders with the oncoming Hydra Liaison Envoy. The latter covered his mouth and chuckled, dusted off his cigarette ashes, and sneered behind Simon's back: "How can our great hero be free to drive here? I need to warn you that the Shapeshifter didn't come looking for the General today. Feroxepuni sneered, "Maybe she was here yesterday, but who remembers?" โ
Simon left only a silent back. Not long after they left the Hydra Auditorium on the twelfth, he was seriously injured and unconscious, and when he woke up, he was already in the old apartment in the city when he first entered the city in Area F, needless to say, Simon knew that he could not go back to Area M, and he had lost one of the nine, and the pure-blood faction was becoming more and more fragmented, and if Simon, who accidentally activated the purple blood in advance, was left behind, he would undoubtedly be under house arrest. The situation has reached the point where both sides are directly involved, and Adolfina even wants to put the matter on the bright side, forcing the United faction to dare not risk the world's condemnation to openly intercept and kill. That's when a few moments were earned.
The second time I came to the conference room on the fifth floor of the I-building, there was only a portrait of the founding father in the vast space looking at the other side, Mellon pulled out a chair and pointed: "Please feel free to wait patiently for a while." โ
This kind of waiting, that is, there is no more silence.
Simon sat upright, the glass window in front of him was subtly changing the angle of light, and the oblique shadow cast on the wall gradually tilted, tilted, Simon didn't even deliberately glance at the watch time, this is not that time, it is no longer the Iron Army desperately wants to benefit from him, even then, the two sides are not equal, let alone today?
He simply closed his eyes and sank his heart to feel the "purple blood" in his body. After the arduous journey to Hydra Auditorium on April 12, no one who saw Simon thought that the fatal wound could be cured. This is by no means as simple as the trauma caused by the electrocution of the Solomon family when entering the city, the flesh wound is not worth mentioning, but the toxin mixture caused by the rapid movement after being bitten, the lake demon, the hyena, and the hydra poison. The combination of the three is better than the poison in the world.
However, Purple Blood easily repelled like an emperor expelling his courtiers. After a few injections of rebirth potion, it was only more than half a month, Simon basically recovered, if it wasn't for Adolfina insisting that he hide his eyes and ears for a longer time, Simon would not have delayed coming to the Iron Army Headquarters until today.
The door of the "Click...... conference room finally opened, and the middle-aged colonel, who was slightly fattened and had an epaulette silver eagle similar to John Mellon's eight points, walked up to Simon's side, stretched out his hand, and said, "Captain." โ
John Mellon gave him an embarrassed look, and Simon nodded, slightly
He bowed and said, "Colonel." โ
"Sit." The colonel pulled away the chair next to Simon and sat down, his elbows resting casually, and in his stern face was a pair of small eyes that were not majestic, but no matter how he looked at it, Colonel Maurice Mellon would make people feel like a thorn in the back. "You're not like those Hydra, you're a good and loyal soldier, you're a good soldier, you're a good Ranger, so, Captain, speak your mind."
As John Mellon said when they first met, his grandfather Thomas Mellon was a staff officer of the 27th Infantry Division, and in the first year of the war, that is, Simon was wounded and evacuated from Kรถnigsberg. A few days after Simon repeated the light, the infantry division came to offer condolences, and guess who it was? Yes, John Mellon's grandfather.
Simon took out a folded page of letterhead from the inner pocket of his military uniform, and the colonel took the rather pleasing agreement with the insignia of the army's flying eagle and the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing in one hand. The colonel's brow was frowned from beginning to end, perhaps peculiar to his age. "You want the army to grant you such a high amount of money to use? And special equipment? โ
"And your offer is to fully cooperate with the army in exploring the Fort Kent military refuge." The Colonel lowered the letterhead, and the slightly wrinkled letter slid across the mahogany table, which was smooth enough to illuminate the figure. "Captain, your news seems to be delayed, do you know that we have formally concluded an armistice and a non-aggression pact with Harrisburg?"
That's why Simon waited for the colonel for three hours. Just a few days after April 12, the Steelers and the Crusade signed the Peace of Carlisle in the town of Carlisle, twenty miles west of Harrisburg, where the Steelers' vanguard was located. The peace treaty stipulated that all the Crusader forces and forces should withdraw to the east of Artuna. In other words, the Iron Army drove the Crusaders to 200 miles east of Steel City. At the same time, the Crusaders had to give up the Crusader Tax, which was designed to stifle the trade of the Iron City, but also had to accept the punishment of defeat by exchanging personnel and technicians, dismantling industrial equipment, allowing Harrisburg to set up only the most basic defense against the Demon Eagle, and being supervised by the Unanimous Confederacy.
Most importantly, Harrisburg must hand over a copy of the Military/Civilian Shelter locations in the Union area, as well as their universal decoding. This includes the Fort Kent Perimeter Facility Authorization Code. Simon's authority on Fort Kent in his hands was suddenly lighter, and the failure of Solomon's expedition showed that no one could break through, and now as long as he was willing to spend his strength, he would definitely be able to break through.
"The army can change the conditions, based on mutual cooperation, I will assign a squad of rangers for you to use, and the amount of money and equipment will be reduced to half of the original, how about it?" The Colonel reproposed.
"I don't need the support of the military, and the original number requirements remain the same." Simon replied calmly, he rolled up his sleeves, and the glowing purple of his forearm was flowing under the veins, and a bead of pure purple blood oozed from his fingertips.
"Without me, you wouldn't have been able to get into the depths of the Vault, and the monsters that caused the heavy casualties of Solomon's expedition were beyond human control. But I can. โ
