Chapter 168: Bloody Road
"Is the message confirmed?"
"The person who found it is conclusive, we have already notified 'One-Eye' to retrieve the surveillance data of the airport in the seventh region of Mars, but there is no confirmed news yet."
"You go and rush it, make those fools faster."
"Yes, Captain."
The "fat man", who was in an extremely impatient mood, couldn't help frowning when he looked at the back of the short and thin subordinate who went out.
He has been on Mars for more than a month, and with a special service team of hundreds of people sent by the black-clothed marshal, he has searched almost all the places where people exist on Mars, but there is no trace of the woman at all.
Even his temper was as hot as a powder keg, but now he had been worn down to an almost complete loss of temper, and even after hearing such bad news, he was in no mood to vent his anger.
Schweyton, the commander of the gendarmerie on the moon, was already urging him to return to Plato's crater as soon as possible, and now the situation on the southern shore of the rainy sea was on the verge of breaking out. At times like these, Schwitton didn't want to have a reliable person at his disposal.
As the former captain of the "Masquerade", Schwitton certainly knew the importance of the woman, but the woman's whereabouts like a stone sinking into the sea forced him to temporarily turn his attention to the tension on the moon.
The moon is the base camp of the gendarmerie headquarters and the foundation of this group that is presented in black uniforms in the army. No matter how sure they won on the surface, Schwitton didn't dare to have any careless emotions, so he urgently summoned this short-tempered "chameleon" back.
The current captain of this "mask" is naturally unwilling, he doesn't want to stop there, where is that damn woman hiding? If it is possible, even if it is three feet into the ground, the "chameleon" wants to pull her out.
At this critical juncture, bad news came, which really made matters worse.
Someone witnessed the appearance of that person at the airport in the seventh region of Mars, which couldn't help but make the "chameleon" a little nervous.
Since the last time on the moon, the "wolverine" who had just gone out encountered him, the "chameleon" investigated in detail the former captain of the "dragon teeth" who changed his name to Liu Yuan, even with the temperament of this fat man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was shocked by this person's bloody methods.
In particular, what he did on Mars back then was simply shocking.
Even the black-clothed marshal Schwitton later heard about this, and specially warned the fat man "chameleon", asking him to carefully restrain the arrogant team members of the "mask" not to provoke that person.
"You already know his majesty back then, and there is no need to say more about the danger of him. What is even more striking now is that he is always by the side of the commander-in-chief, and they are usually inseparable. At this critical juncture, he had just left the earth, and his whereabouts had become secretive, if it was really his own will. In case it is the commander-in-chief's will, with his unfathomable mind, I am afraid that it will only be you and me who will be embarrassed at that time. ”
The chameleon still vividly remembers the subtle meaning of vigilance and jealousy in Schwitton's eyes when he squinted his eyes and said these words.
In the eyes of many low-level and middle-level officers in the army, the reason why Commander-in-Chief Lu Yong can stand on the top of the United Peak on behalf of the army and surpass the rest of the marshals to sit on the throne of the commander-in-chief is because he has two loyal right-hand men -- Marshal Martin Enda, director of the Space Information Maintenance Agency, and Marshal Albert Schwitton, commander of the Military Police Command.
In their opinion, among the ten marshals of the Joint Command, except for Frank Duran from Mars, most of the remaining nine marshals are on their own side, and Commander-in-Chief Lu Yong can suppress the heroes in the army, isn't it because of the number of people?
It's just that how do they know that in fact, the seemingly loyal right-hand man may not really be as close and unsuspicious as outsiders seem.
Anyone who saw the look on Swyton's face when he mentioned Commander-in-Chief Lu Yong would not think that this was a person who followed Commander-in-Chief Lu Yong loyally.
People's hearts are fickle, even if they hold this heart, how can they guarantee that the so-called original intention will not change? Those that seem unbreakable and eternal to the outside world are really just wishful thinking.
Therefore, before setting off from the moon to Mars, the fat man "chameleon" deliberately paid attention to Liu Yuan's traces, and sure enough, he had quietly disappeared from the commander-in-chief Lu Yong. Men from the Genjun Military Police Headquarters on United Peak reported that Commander-in-Chief Lu Yong's chief guard had not been with the Commander-in-Chief himself for several months.
Unexpectedly, now, when this "masked" captain was in a dilemma on Mars, the news of Liu Yuan's appearance on Mars came.
"What is he doing here? Do you want to repeat the bloody road of the past? ”
"Bloody Road" is the name of those who still remember the events of that year vividly, and called Liu Yuan at that time around the Kunlun Sea and the Olympia Sea all the way to the bloody event.
It was a veritable bloody road, a real one paved with blood and bones.
As for the worries of this grumpy fat man, they are not unfounded.
The events of that year, anyone with a discerning eye could see that no matter what kind of mysterious mission Liu Yuan was carrying at that time, but from the scene of the Martian forces falling like rain behind him, the result was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the strength of the Martians, so that they could not breathe for decades, until the outbreak of the war ten years ago.
If it weren't for the trip to Mars of the newly baked "Dragon's Tooth" captain at that time, perhaps the first interstellar war in human history broke out thirty years ago. At that time, the Earth Headquarters, which was obviously lagging behind in the expansion of combat readiness, might have rushed to respond to the battle in a sudden situation, and then tilted the already tilted balance of war even more, and even crushed the Earth Headquarters, which could only win by luck ten years ago, so that they would not even have time to rely on luck before they were defeated and surrendered.
The scene today is very similar to that time, a new generation is gradually growing, and they do not have the psychological shadow of defeat in the last war, but feel humiliated and unconvinced because of their youthfulness. And those of the older generation of real power are also gradually coming out of the decadence and frustration of defeat, and they may be looking forward to washing away their previous humiliation in their lifetime.
The increasingly violent resistance on the moon has made people's hearts on the moon float; Mars already exudes undisguised hostility, unbridled preparations for war under the leadership of that marshal; Europa also failed to repeatedly appeal for promotion to Europa because of the conflict with Venus, accumulating a stomach full of resentment.
The end of the last war did not eliminate the strife in the human world, but only tore the rift more obviously.
In recent years, all peace efforts on all planets, without exception, have failed.
The few loud delegates to the Supreme Council on Earth have all disappeared, many people on the moon who called for calm negotiations to bridge their differences have died tragically under the blood of "purple glory", and the eldest young master of the Martian Lin family has even died in space for no apparent reason, and the headmaster of Europa, who is far away, can no longer suppress the resentment of his students about the failure of Europa's promotion to "Europa".
People who have experienced the last war have been shrouded in the shadow of war again, and there is no doubt that the next war will break out, the only question is when it will break out.
In this case, will the United Peak giants, who have already tasted the sweetness of the last war, repeat their old tricks? The Martians have not yet recovered from the blow of the "Bloody Road", so if the captain of the "Dragon's Tooth" who gave them nightmares back then landed on Mars again and repeated the "Bloody Road", would it directly make the Martians cry and kneel and beg for mercy? Even if you can't make these stubborn Martians beg for mercy, let them bleed again and remain weak in the next war.
Will that be the case?
According to the nature of the "chameleon", he certainly took it for granted.
What kind of enemy is a good enemy? A dead enemy, of course, and it is better to make him a dead man when he is not even qualified to be an enemy.
The people of the three directly subordinate teams all understand this truth very well.
"That former captain of "Dragon's Tooth", I'm afraid he also thinks like this, right? ”
Therefore, this fat man, who had been worn out to the point of no temper, was not in the mood to be angry, and kicked the "wolverine" out of the door, but he was a little worried.
If it is really as he guessed, then the retreat of the "Mask" is imperative, and even the special service team will have to go back to the moon in disgrace.
After all, no matter how important the woman he was digging into the ground to find now, it was not worth putting on the whole "mask" for her to be buried.
What he is most concerned about now is whether the person who is seen is really the former captain of the "Dragon Tooth" who once had a relationship with the "Wolverine", and now the man named Liu Yuan.
However, waiting is the most anxious, and the already grumpy "chameleon" waited for only a few minutes, and his heart became more and more anxious.
At this moment, the communication connection suddenly popped up in his wrist.
"I've heard that." The blonde marshal still had a babyish voice.
"What now? I'm almost turning over Mars, and the woman is still nowhere to be seen......"
"She has been running for nearly seven years, and we are not in a hurry, since she has revealed her whereabouts, it means that she can't bear the loneliness, wants to get out of the shadows, and lives under the sun brightly, we have a chance to find her again."
"Is it time to get out of Mars now? In case ......"
The commander of the gendarmerie on the opposite side shook his head slightly and said: "The commander-in-chief's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess now, I don't know what his intention is to let the former captain of the 'Dragon's Tooth' go back to Mars now, you ......"
"Captain, captain, uh, commander......"
The sweaty "Wolverine" pushed the door in, and was startled when he saw Schweyton's hologram.
"If you have a fart, let it go, rub something!" The fat man turned his head impatiently and shouted.
The "wolverine" glanced at the commander of the gendarmerie, bowed his head and said, "Captain, I have already seen the information sent by 'One-Eye', it is that person, he is here." ”
The chameleon waved his hand impatiently, and after sending him away, he turned his head to look at Schwitton and asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Come back, I'm in need of manpower right now, and the countdown to the situation on the moon has begun." Guna's also completed the mission of investigating Venus, so you two should come back, there are not many opportunities to observe like this! After all, the commander-in-chief's methods ......," Schwitton shook his head slightly with a slight wistfulness.
The fat man couldn't see him like this, so he pouted and said sarcastically: "Anyway, you will climb to that seat one day, why are you in such a hurry now?" ”
Schwitton sighed: "It seems that I am so young, and the future is just a matter of course, but who can guarantee that we will live longer than those old men?" That's why I need you to be quicker, to help me quickly......"
The chameleon's face was also dark, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "Okay, I'll go back immediately, what should I do with these rabbit cubs?" You can't let them be ...... on Mars."
Schwitton groaned for a moment and said, "Let them go to the asteroid belt!" Although it was the marshal's place, and there was a group of moody children, we had no plans to make a big move on the moon for the time being, so since we didn't need them, we might as well let them stop by and have a look. ”
