Chapter 202: Assassination
The night was eerily quiet.
Since his last visit to Shikoku's daimyo, the other party agreed to his terms and continued to supply supplies to the Seventh Fleet, which continued to be responsible for Shikoku's security.
It was nothing, everything was supposed to run as usual.
But the anomaly is that since he left Shikoku and returned to the Seventh Fleet, he has not been able to contact Mori Shotoku in any way, and the daimyo of Shikoku seems to have disappeared, and there is no news at all.
Gauss sat on the plywood sun lounger, frowning.
Things seemed a little out of the ordinary, but he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Don't worry, General." Theseus walked up behind him and filled his wine glass, "Since the Shikoku side has agreed to our request, the supplies will definitely arrive in the near future." β
"Hopefully it's the same as you say." Gauss sighed, "I always feel ......"
"It's not as complicated as you think." Theseus smiled, "Shikoku doesn't want to bear the wrath of the Seventh Fleet, if the other party really changes his mind, I believe that when the F35 flies over Shikoku, their daimyo will know what panic is." β
It's that kind of big talk again.
Gauss frowned.
The last time a military operation was launched, an air raid on a puppet base supported by the Northern War Alliance, what Hughes said was much better than now, but in the end, it was beaten by others, even if it was a nuclear bomb, it would not help.
This is nothing, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but the problem is that this news was known to the daimyo of Shikoku early, and I have to say that this is a fatal blow to the name of the Seventh Fleet.
The other party was stuck with supplies this time and did not send them, perhaps because he was struggling with this problem.
"Okay, you go back first, train more soldiers during this time, otherwise they will all become lazy bones with no combat effectiveness." Gauss's eyes narrowed slightly, "The situation at sea is not too good these days, with more snacks, it is obvious that there have been more sea beasts coming out of the bottom of the sea recently." β
"Yes, General." Hughes took the order and left.
Looking at his back, Gauss cursed secretly.
A bunch of waste.
On weekdays, he pretends to be unpredictable and strategizing, but when he encounters a problem, he retreats faster than anyone else.
This is also a problem left over from the US military, Gauss shook his head, this can't be blamed on them, if you want to blame it, it's too indulgent, when they are usually stationed in the ports of other countries, these bunnies do a lot of bad things.
I'm afraid that this will be a big deal.
For a moment, Gauss wanted to lay down his power and find a place to spend his old age in peace, not wanting to meddle in the affairs of the fleet at all.
He is in his fifties, and he has been crawling in the ocean since he was a child, and he is deeply tired of this fishy life.
But in this situation, to find such a dream place is tantamount to a pipe dream.
"General, if you are tired, rest for a while, let go of everything in your hands, why embarrass yourself so much?"
A gentle and crisp female voice came from behind him, hitting him in the chest.
The woman's words made him feel like he had met a soulmate, why didn't he want to do it? But at this point, he has no room for maneuver.
And so onββ!
Gauss's pupils constricted.
Where did this gentle female voice come from?!
He vividly remembered that the entire ship was full of male warriors of strong blood, and that no woman had been accepted at all.
A cold sense of crisis spread throughout his body, his heart began to flutter violently, and he turned his head slightly, glancing to see the appearance of the woman behind him.
"What, woke up?" There was a strong sense of ridicule in the female voice, "At a critical moment, people should respect their hearts." β
"You... You are?! Gauss frowned, and stood up from his seat, the quality of a professional soldier made his body consciously retreat, and the gun at his waist was loaded, aiming at the woman in front of him.
The woman was dressed in a black coat, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, she had a special charm, her skin was fair, her eyes were hidden in the shadow of the cloak, and only two red lips were seductive against the background of the night.
It's a gentle stunner, if the other party puts down the dagger in his hand.
"It doesn't matter who I am, General." The warbler showed a warm smile, "It's so boring at night, why don't you let me sleep with you?" β
"If you're here to sell your flesh, I think you'd better step down." Gauss trembled.
"But I'm not your subordinate, and I don't have to listen to your orders." Liuying approached Gauss step by step, "General, why don't we put down the gun in our hands and have a good talk, I don't want to lose both." β
She was scared.
Observing her movements, Gauss felt a little confident in his heart, "Stop your movements immediately, otherwise I'm not sure that the gun in my hand will go off." β
"What a bad line, General, look at me." The warbler stopped and threw the gun into the sea, "If you want to solve the problem peacefully, I want you to do the same." β
"Die!"
Gauss no longer gave her any chance to speak, roared angrily, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
I only heard a gunshot, and at the same time as the fire exploded, seven bullets came out of the shell.
If the other party was human, seven bullets would be enough to make the woman die no more.
Gauss gasped for air, bent slightly, and held the railing with his hand.
Damn, I let the assassin sneak into the cabin, and when I get back later, I won't spare Theseus, he's in charge of the Supreme Commander's safety!
"Well, this... How can it be?! β
As soon as he was about to take a step, Gauss's body froze, leaving nothing where the woman's body should have appeared, not even a trace of blood.
The opponent dodged the entire attack of seven bullets!
How is this possible?
The woman was standing in front of him, less than five meters away, he looked around, and there was nothing but his shadow on the empty splint at this time, what means did the other party use to avoid the unavoidable attack?
"Are you looking for me?" The warbler's voice appeared behind Gauss again, "Unfortunately, you didn't listen to me, and it upset me. β
With a pop, Gauss felt something pierce his back, cold and numb, and it wasn't until two or three seconds later that a sharp pain spread from the wound, and he convulsed all over his body.
Gao Feng found that his consciousness was beginning to drift, and he tried to call for help, but the other fighters in the cabin seemed to disappear into thin air, and they didn't notice the anomaly here.
After he lost his breath, Liuying pursed the corners of his mouth and whispered into the walkie-talkie: "It's okay, come up." β
It was so dangerous, she thought to herself, it was fortunate that she had invaded Gauss's spirit early and constructed her own avatar in his field of vision, otherwise even if her speed exceeded the wind, she would never have dodged the fatal attack of seven bullets at such a close distance.
