It's a not-so-spacious basement with rows of display screens and various electronic communication devices. There were no mechs in the command room, only a group of human officers who were busy, and many of them subconsciously raised their hands in shock when they saw Aurora and Shion suddenly rushing in.

Shi Ang recognized the gray-haired general sitting in the crowd at a glance, so he waved his hand at him and smiled: "Hey, isn't this General Irukowich?" Hello! ”

Irukovich looked at Shion and then at Aurora, his mouth open but he didn't speak.

"I can't imagine that we will meet so soon!" Shi Ang said triumphantly, "How's that?" General, what do you think? ”

Ilukovich was silent for a long time, and suddenly made a move that surprised Shiang.

The gray-haired general slowly took off his military hat and began to weep with his head bowed.

He cried very sadly, and he couldn't stop crying.

Shi Ang looked at him quietly and didn't speak for a while.

He could understand the old man's feelings. If he had suffered such a terrible defeat, maybe he would have cried like this human, right?

But Shion doesn't cry, and when he feels sad and painful, his eyes turn blue, so he imagines in his mind what the old man's eyes will look like.

"Okay, stop crying, what's there to cry about!" Aurora snorted disdainfully, "Look at your cowardice! Where is the momentum that provoked us just now? Now you know how good we are, right? Hurry up and get your men to lay down their arms and stop resisting, and maybe I might consider sparing your life!" ”

Hearing this, Irukovich, who was crying, took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes, then looked at her and said, "Is Your Excellency the Goddess of Dawn, Aurora?" ”

"Not bad." Aurora nodded.

Ilukovich said: "I have already told you that you are the public enemy of all mankind, and no matter what the circumstances, we will not surrender to you!" ”

Aurora frowned, she couldn't understand a little, obviously she had already been defeated, why was this human still so hard-mouthed?

"You don't think I dare kill you, do you?" Aurora looked at him coldly.

In the minds of many humans, the idea that robots can't harm humans is quite ingrained. Aurora has been trying to help them correct this misconception.

Unexpectedly, Ilukowich glanced at her, but turned to the human officers around him and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I was a little out of shape just now. ”

The officers looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Irukovich continued: "I couldn't hold back my tears just now because I felt very sad. The fortress that we had spent so much effort building could not withstand even a single enemy charge...... As a soldier of the Wehrmacht, I am not only very saddened by this, but also very ashamed! ”

"General, it's not your responsibility alone." An officer whispered.

Irukovich shook his head and said, "No, maybe it's really not my responsibility alone, but at least I should be primarily responsible." As a defeated general, all I can do now is to bravely take on this responsibility and at the same time tell our enemies that we are not afraid of death and that we will never be conquered by anyone! No matter how strong our enemies are, we will fight them to the end! ”

As he said this, he suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger on his temple!

With a "bang" gunshot, blood and brains sprayed out, splashing the faces of those S country officers who were caught off guard next to them, and they were all stunned.

"Huh, idiot!" Aurora snorted disdainfully.

"Your Highness the Goddess, I didn't expect this human being to be quite brave, and he was not afraid of death!" Shi Ang looked at Irukovich lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but whisper to Aurora with radio waves.

Aurora ignored him, but looked at the remaining human officers and asked, "Which of you has the highest position now?" ”

The officers looked at each other, and a tall general with beautiful blond hair raised his hand and said, "It's me, I'm the commander of this fortress!" ”

"Good!" "Tell me, are you going to die with him, or are you going to order your men to lay down their arms now?" ”

The fortress commander looked left and right and asked, "If I give the order to lay down my weapons, can you guarantee the safety of all human lives here?" ”

Aurora nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The commander of the fortress hesitated for a moment, walked to the table, picked up the intercom, and gave the order to stop the resistance.

On the outskirts of the city of M, the capital of country R, the Romanov estate.

A gray bulletproof car drove into the gate of the manor and stopped in front of a small brick-red three-story building. Shaposhnikov, the Minister of Defense of Country R, who was wearing the rank of general, got out of the car and walked briskly on the steps in front of the small building.

There was a tall and handsome young man standing at the door of the small building, and when he saw him, he immediately smiled and greeted him: "Hello, General! ”

"Hello!" Shaposhnikov shook the young man's hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're Rasputin, right?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "Yes, General. My master is waiting for you, please come with me! ”

Shaposhnikov followed him into the small building, down the corridors and stairs all the way to a room on the second floor. Rasputin stood at the door, knocked lightly on the door and said, "Master, General Shaposhnikov has arrived!" ”

"Okay, let's invite him in!" A voice came from the room.

Rasputin opened the door and led Shaposhnikov inside.

Shaposhnikov looked around and saw that it was a large room as spacious as a hall, and the interior was extremely richly decorated. The floor of the room is covered with a scarlet plush carpet, and there is a king-size fireplace on the opposite side of the door, and the roaring fire makes the room warm like spring. A young blonde woman was sitting on a bearskin sofa in the center of the room, holding a silver plate in her left hand, and with her gloved right hand, she picked up pieces of fresh venison from the plate and fed them to the two hounds beside her. Shaposhnikov, who happened to be also interested in hunting, could tell at a glance that they were two very pure Pharaoh Hounds, one of the most valuable hunting dogs in the world today. As for the young woman who was feeding the two Pharaoh Hounds, she was undoubtedly the owner of the estate, the richest man in the country of R, and the owner of the Romanov family. Mikhailovna. Romanova too.

For half a century, the Romanov family has held the throne of the richest man in country R. Their business not only involves all walks of life, but also spreads all over the world, black and white. However, two years ago, Mikhail Murphy, who was at the helm of the family. Konstantinovich. Romanoff died young in an accident, and the lifeblood of the entire family fell into the hands of the eldest daughter, Natalia.

"Please sit down, General." Seeing Shaposhnikov come in, Natalia handed the plate with venison to the servant beside her, and while taking off her bloody gloves, she said, "Would you like a glass of vodka?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately I have a mission now and can't drink!"

Shaposhnikov took off his military overcoat, and Rasputin immediately took it and took it to the corner of the coat hook to hang it. Shaposhnikov thanked him, then walked over to the couch opposite Natalia and sat down.

"General, isn't there a war going on at the front right now? How did you have the strength to come to me? Natalia smiled.

"Alas! Don't mention it, this damn war! Shaposhnikov frowned and said, "It's all because of the stupidity of a stupid person in country Z, and now the situation is completely out of control!" Thousands of robot rebels are spreading across the Eastern Continent, and in just three weeks, more than a dozen countries have declared defeat and surrender, and none of them have been able to hold out for more than three days! It is estimated that it won't be long before they will be in the city of M! ”

"And what about our country R, General?" Natalia looked at him and said, "How many days do you think we'll be able to resist?" ”

"Uh...... It's hard to say! Shaposhnikov put his finger on his forehead and said, "But there is no doubt that this will be a severe test for the entire R nation, the president has issued a national mobilization order, and we need every citizen to contribute their strength to fight the invasion of those robot rebels!" Miss Natasha, I have come to ask for your help on behalf of the government and military of country R. ”

"Me?" Natalia smiled and said, "General, are you kidding?" I'm just an ordinary businessman, how would you like me to help you? ”

Shaposhnikov pointed to Rasputin, who was standing aside, and said: "It! ”

"Him?" Natalia glanced at Rasputin and said with a smile, "General, Rasputin is just an ordinary simulation robot, what do you want him to do?" ”

"You don't have to hide it from me, Miss Natasha." Shaposhnikov said, "I know Rasputin is the genius robot you bought for a high price, but at a time like this, we really need a top-notch mech warrior like him!" So I would like to ask you to donate it to serve the military of Country R! ”

"General, I would like to take the liberty of asking, is this an order?" Natalia looked at him with a smirk.

"It's not an order, it's a request." Shaposhnikov said, "For the sake of the state and the nation, oh no, for the sake of all mankind......"

But Natalia interrupted him before he could finish speaking: "General, if this is just a request, then I refuse!" ”

Shaposhnikov was stunned, he really didn't expect that the richest woman would be so faceless. After a few seconds of silence, he began to try to persuade: "Dear Natasha, you should know the current situation, right? Our country is being invaded, and every citizen has an obligation to do what he or she can to resist the aggressor. If country R also falls like country Z, then your family and industry will undoubtedly suffer huge losses, and I don't think you want to see that happen, right? ”

"I certainly don't want to see that happen, General." Natalia said, "But as you just said, Rasputin is a bodyguard robot that I bought at a high price, so he is my private property." And as the head of the military, isn't it the responsibility of your military to resist aggression and protect people's lives and property? Now instead of protecting my property, you are taking him away from me, what is the reason? ”

"Miss Natasha, you're talking crookedly!" Shaposhnikov frowned and said, "We are not taking away your property, but concentrating all the forces that can be concentrated to resist aggression for the motherland!" ”

"Concentrate all the forces that can be concentrated? Very good. Natalia smiled and said, "Then may I ask Your Excellency General, are all the civilian robots in country R among the ranks that you have recruited?" ”

"Well...... No. Shaposhnikov shook his head and said.

Unlike country A, country R has never engaged in any "shadow plan", and Shaposhnikov now feels that this is really a big mistake by the government of country R.

"That's the end of it!" Natalia smiled and said, "General, the constitution of country R clearly stipulates that private property is sacred and inviolable!" And I've heard that the president's national mobilization order doesn't contain a clause for the forcible requisition of civilian robots, so I think I still have the right to refuse to hand over Rasputin to you! ”
