Chapter Ninety-Eight: Engagement and Containment
Like the previous one, the SUV is covered with a heat-shielding cover, the modified exhaust pipe barely audible, and the image transmitted by the infrared camera on the side display on the steering wheel, the SUV drove forward at a fast speed.
After about five or six hours, it was already dark, and the vehicle drove for some time in a bumpy ride and then drove to the side of a ruin, and in one corner of the ruins stood two soldiers, also draped in a heat-shielding cover, standing beside the rubble with loaded guns and saluting the buggy.
There is a relatively well-preserved building in the ruins, which is the temporary combat command center that was set up, and it is also the headquarters of this battle, due to the removal of the computer virus, the basic communication has also been completely restored, and some conventional means of communication can also be used.
When the group walked into the building, there were candles everywhere, the glimmer of the candles supported the light inside the building, and all the windows were covered with a layer of iron, so from the outside, it was still pitch black.
Next to a radio transceiver in the corner, John was thinking about something with a cigar in his mouth, and he spotted them even when the group approached him.
"How's the preparation?" Jack patted John on the shoulder.
John came back to his senses, saw the group and immediately stood up and said hello, but obviously had something on his mind and looked a little absent-minded, John pointed to the map on a table not far away and made an OK gesture.
But John also immediately found the thin and skeletal Mia behind the group, at this time Mia was supported by Brin, her whole body was wet, wet white short sleeves looked like she had just soaked in the water and was worn directly on her body under the candlelight, Mia was wearing Brin's black uniform jacket, and she looked a little bad.
"The front-line reconnaissance team sent information that a helicopter flew into the Philadelphia Starstripe base with a container, and from the characteristics of it, it should be a container containing rhodium crystals." John ignored Mia and said to Jack beside Mia.
Jack didn't look at John, he just felt that Mia seemed to be a little cold, her body was trembling slightly, and then he walked to the other corner of the room, raised his hand and picked up a military coat and draped it on Mia's body.
"Is it finally here?" W said that there were only ten, as it would take seven men to replenish the furnace with rhodium crystals, and she would have no problem dealing with three starstripe wielders.
There were a lot of people gathered in the room, there were more than twenty people, all of them were busy with their own work, very busy, but even the sound of communication was very soft, which made the whole room feel very depressed and deserted.
However, no one knew what John's absent-mindedness was, but looking at his expression, there must be something on his mind, but because of the urgency of the battle, Jack didn't bother to ask, and it wouldn't be long before he would command the frontline troops of the Resistance Army to attack the Starstripe Base in Philadelphia head-on.
In fact, everything happened smoothly, but for some reason, someone secretly made a small report to the Supreme United Council and told them that John was going to attack the Starstripe Base in Philadelphia.
Originally, the Supreme United Council was preparing to attack the Starstripe Base in Philadelphia, but not at this time, they needed to gather all the resistance forces for long-term consideration, many things were not prepared for the Supreme United Council, the most important thing was that they knew about the existence of W and Brin, so the order that the Supreme United Council had just given John was to stop all plans and arrest W and Brinn for interrogation.
John took another puff of his cigar, even in the face of the most dangerous difficulties, humanity was still ** naked to show, some members of the Supreme Union Council were worried about the uneven distribution of interests, so they voted against the offensive plan, they were afraid that once John's side attacked smoothly, they would rob most of the interests.
W and Brin weren't members of the Resistance, which in itself didn't matter, but W and Brin used to be from the Starstripe Corporation, one was the top Starstripe holder of the Starstripe Corporation, and the other was the deputy administrator of the Starstripe Base, and some narrow-minded councillors seized on these handles, and even proposed to execute them, but in the end they were still vetoed.
But John felt that he was very glad that all he could receive was the cease and desist order of the Supreme United Council, and even if the political officer who really sent him from the Supreme United Council to take back his rights should still be on the way, and it would take several days to get here, so John would not give up this opportunity, and he still had to resolutely carry out the plan to the end.
He still had hope for the Supreme Coalition, and although there were stinky fish and shrimp disgusting him, there were also some old politicians with broad eyes and quick thinking, who knew the importance of this matter, and this was indeed an extremely rare opportunity, and it was these people who voted for John, but even so, the approval rate was still less than half, and in the end it was rejected.
The cigarette butt of the cigar was snuffed out, John took another cigar from his bosom, put it on the flame of the candle, lit it and took a heavy puff, John looked at the group, then at Jack, he was going to gamble, crazy bet, he bet that this plan would succeed, he bet that the Resistance would turn over.
