Gao Chuan felt that the arrival of the lieutenant general was for the affairs of the Three Immortals Island, although in the agreement, he would be the key person in controlling the Three Immortals Island, but how the agreement was negotiated, how many twists and turns were generated during the period, and how the parties to the discussion were playing, these things were not known to him - the Three Immortals Island was a behemoth, and when he landed on the island in person, he could feel this more intuitively. As the builder of the Three Immortals, the central principality, which has the largest influence in Asia, will not be able to hand over this behemoth to someone from the non-governmental side at will, even if that person is a hero of the United Nations propaganda.

During the time that Sanxian Island was in Australia, the deterrence of the Nazi offensive was very clear. The enemy's careful avoidance of direct conflict with the Three Immortals Island brought their invasion of the entire continent of Australia to a virtual standstill. Although Australia was already considered the front line of World War III, it was arguably the calmest front line during this period.

The departure and return of Sanxian Island will naturally have an impact on all aspects. The fact that the Central Principalities are willing to honor the Entente ahead of schedule does not mean that they will delegate power and let those who receive it do what they want. Even if this person's prosthetic body has been modulated and is the best person to match the Three Immortals Island so far, even if he has a high reputation in the international arena and the forces behind him that push these things forward are extremely powerful, the Central Duchy still has enough and reasonable reasons to overturn these agreements.

Gao Chuan believes that what he has done, his own background and experience, and his interpersonal relationships have all been strictly assessed by the relevant departments of the central principality, and the previous agreement is naturally based on the assessment results, but this kind of assessment is not enough to just look at the information of a certain period of time. Takakawa can understand that the Central Principality is still extremely cautious about matters related to the Three Immortals Island - the Three Immortals Island is so powerful that in the old saying, it is the so-called "important weapon of the country".

The important weapon of the country is not the hand of others. This is a famous saying that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Central Principality since ancient times. Under normal circumstances, no, it should be said that even in a special period, under special circumstances, Gao Chuan never thought that he would be selected to become the core person who controlled the Three Immortals Island, and even was recognized by the Central Principality, which was really a surprising thing.

Takakawa felt that he couldn't sort out the coherence of it anyway, and he even thought that there was a political game here, but there must be something else that played a major role in promoting, and it was precisely because it was not clear what was driving the "theoretically impossible situation" that made people feel a sense of fear that could not be delved into.

When this lieutenant general appeared in front of him, Takakawa felt that he would be here, and it was a matter of course. Compared with "let Takakawa become the controller of Sansendao", "when Takakawa completes the first connection with Sansendao, he needs to conduct another qualification review" seems reasonable.

It's just that Gao Chuan doesn't know what kind of way and what kind of standards will the lieutenant general use to examine him. Perhaps the other party will have a certain attitude, or may interact with the character of the character, and then analyze Takakawa's words and deeds through a third party, and perhaps many mysterious forces that even Takakawa himself cannot sense have begun to wrestle - Takakawa is not sure whether the attitude expressed by the lieutenant general will be pure goodwill.

Looking at what has happened from a rigorous perspective, it is easy to fall into the trap of conspiracy theories, but even if they are not conspiracy theories, they can still be unsettling, because the other person is not just a human being, but has the right to represent a country. The pressure Gao Chuan feels is not the pressure brought by a human being, but the pressure brought by a superpower with a population of 1.3 billion and a population of more than 2.5 billion in an area of influence.

If we change it to the perspective of the reality of the hospital, then at least nearly half of the "personalities of patients with doomsday syndrome" that form the basis of the apocalyptic illusion are putting pressure on a single Takakawa personality through the connection between the subconscious. Even if this pressure does not come from subjective intention, the difference in numbers will naturally bring great pressure.

Takakawa's brain and hardware suppressed all kinds of negative emotions, allowing him to think soberly about the reasons why he felt uneasy. When he observed the lieutenant general, the same instinct of the lieutenant general was a little uneasy, and he felt as if the rumored man was not looking at him, or rather, as if in his eyes, he was not who he thought he was, but something else - he felt that the eyes of the young man Takakawa seemed to tell him a terrible thing, and once he understood what he was talking about, I was afraid that some extremely terrible situation would happen.

A confrontation that is difficult to describe in words, making the lieutenant general clearly feel that he has done nothing wrong and that things should not be like this, but he can't stop the sweat oozing from his forehead. He didn't quite understand why a conversation that seemed so normal to him could make the atmosphere so solemn, what the hell was going on in this young man's mind.

He pays great attention to details, and he also observes Gao Chuan's eyes, so he knows very well that when this kind of pressure appears, it is when the other party's eyes become empty. Although many experts who have studied Takagawa feel that this young man has certain psychological and mental problems, it seems that the problems understood from the data and the problems actually felt cannot be equated.

The lieutenant general felt that Gao Chuan was not the same as he had thought in advance, and even if this young man was a mentally ill person, he was definitely not a mentally ill person in the ordinary sense of the word -- this young man was very dangerous, and his danger did not lie in what kind of ability he had, and his personality was not changeable, but his mental problems would cause him to produce some unexpected results when he used his strength, and this kind of accident was brought about by his mental problems, not determined by his personality and style of action.

Is it the right choice to hand over the Three Immortals Island to such a person? The lieutenant general had to reconsider this question, but even if he had a fairly high rank, he was not a man of influence on the country's planning. Strictly speaking, there is no one-size-fits-all situation in the Central Principality, but not everyone who is able to make decisions together has a nuanced understanding of everything - just as he knew about it through intelligence before meeting the UN hero here, but after actually meeting him, he will have doubts about that information.

However, the lieutenant general also knows very well that all he can do is write a report, and whether this report will play a decisive role is not up to him.

Let's take a look. The lieutenant general thought so, after all, the actual meeting time was only a few minutes, and the more important the matter, the more you should not draw conclusions based on first impressions alone.

When Takakawa came back to his senses, the helicopter had already converged with the escort fleet, and from this distance, three hazy silhouettes could be faintly seen when looking at Sansen Island. The searchlights on the ship tore through the night sky, but they could not reach the darkness where the island of Three Immortals was located, where the night and waves seemed to create a tangible fog that obscured the main body of the island.

If someone who had been working on the Three Immortals Island had observed the outlines of the three islands at this time, they would have felt that they were different from the situation before the departure. It's impossible to describe the differences, but the unsettling presence is even stronger than when they set sail from Australia.

"So, Kodaka, can you tell me what happened?" The lieutenant general asked calmly.

"Of course, I've already written a report." Takakawa also replied calmly.

"Report?" The lieutenant general was a little puzzled: "Write everything down?" ”

"Yes, all the things, what I have experienced and seen, have not been hidden, but I only describe the facts, and I will not make judgments." Takakawa said.

"Ohβ€”that's fine, that's fine,......" the lieutenant general nodded, as if thinking something. When Takakawa entered the data into the disk through the interface on the back of the prosthetic neck and handed it to him, he suddenly said, "I heard that you usually write a diary?" ”

"No, I don't usually keep a diary." Gao Chuan looked over with some confusion.

The lieutenant general looked at him, as if to find something in his eyes, and then confirmed: "Never write? ”

"Yes, never write." Takakawa said.

The lieutenant general's expression became solemn, he inserted the disk into the laptop, called up Gao Chuan's report, read it carefully, and said: "Xiao Gao, your report is written like a diary, and you still say that you don't usually write a diary?" ”

"A report is a report, and this is also the first time I have written a report...... Takakawa paused, feeling that it was a bit inappropriate to say "first", because, in the days of working with the Netball, he also used the form of a report to simply communicate with the Netball staff, but the report at that time was very different from the previous report in terms of content and style, so he added: "This is the first time I have written a report like this, maybe I subconsciously want to write it as a diary." ”

"Oh, subconsciously." The lieutenant general looked at him deeply and said, "Xiao Gao, I have read some materials, maybe you don't remember them anymore, but in those materials, you really have the habit of writing a diary. At least, when you're at home, you write a lot. He turned the laptop's monitor and placed it in front of Gao Chuan: "That's the style, the difference is only that some of what you wrote before was fabricated and didn't happen, but what you write now is something that has really happened." ”

Gao Chuan raised his gaze, calmly looked at the lieutenant general, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Looks like you really don't remember." The lieutenant general paused, and said in a cautious, hypothetical tone: "If what you have written, and what you are writing now, is true, and assumes that you really had the habit of keeping a diary before, then the difference between you, who now denies that you have this habit, and you who used to be, cannot but be reminiscent of a situation: the effect of the repeater on time, and thus on the changes of a person, and even on the history of the world." ”

"You're trying to say that I've actually been adjusted by the world line?" Gao Chuan thinks it can be understood in this way.

"Yes, what you recorded in the past are all facts, but after the Repeater interfered with the world line, these facts have become fabricated facts, and Xiao Taka, you are no longer the Takakawa who loved to write diaries in the past." said the lieutenant general.

"That's all you want to say?" Takakawa was a little surprised. It's not surprising that the Central Duchy can guess the repeater's worldline attack pattern, and it's still acceptable to deduce from the clues what the worldline once existed about. However, the lieutenant general deliberately mentioned these things, which made Takakawa feel that he was trying to prove that "Takakawa is not Takakawa" such a philosophical question.

"Yo, so calm." The lieutenant general smiled and said, "It seems that Xiao Gao, your psychological quality is good." However, since Xiao Gao can understand and accept this kind of thing, then we can continue to talk about it. ”

"On the basis of the influence that repeaters can have on the world line, and assume that the influence of repeaters on the world line will affect everyone in the world, then some terrible situations will happen." Speaking of this, the lieutenant general paused, and went down word by word: "We need to ensure that a part of the population is not disturbed by changes in the world line. The Three Immortals Island can do this kind of thing, but it needs guidance, Xiao Gao, you can decide what the Three Immortals Island becomes, so the country needs you to take this responsibility. ”

Takakawa didn't think there was anything wrong with that. However, before he could say yes, the lieutenant general added: "At least ten million people." Even in the worst-case scenario, make sure that the 10 million people on the island can avoid the interference of repeaters on the world line. ”

Gao Chuan swallowed the words that were about to be said back into his stomach, the number of "10 million people", no matter where it is placed, will make people think twice, Gao Chuan knows very well that all decisions involving this number will be very difficult and dangerous. Although it is not clear why the Central Duchy would do this, even if the other party pleads with him, is he really capable of doing such a thing? The lieutenant general said that this is a responsibility, so how heavy is this responsibility.

"We have studied and we must ensure that 10 million people still maintain their awareness of being citizens of the Central Principality after the world line changes, so as to ensure that the Central Principality still exists when the Repeater completely changes the world." So said the lieutenant general. (To be continued.) )
