Chapter 1237: Rupture
readx;?β Hey, Logan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info: What are your thoughts on President MΓΆbit's speech this time? β
"Hello, Otani. Personally, I think His Excellency will focus his speech on the growing surface problem, the existence of the Libertygate polity, which has brought the division of the Union to a point where it cannot be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible. β
"Allow me to remind you, both. In addition to the gate of freedom, the hidden dangers of the Light Hidden Society cannot be ignored, and there are really many headaches for our president. β
"You're right, Mr. Relo. Today, we are honored to invite Mr. Lei Luo, the favorite candidate for the current presidential election, to participate in this live commentary, I believe everyone is already familiar with Mr. Lei Luo, I don't need to repeat it here......"
A large screen is playing a live broadcast of today's speech event about MΓΆbit, and now the screen is a live broadcast room with three people inside. The two on the left and right are each well-known hosts on Babylon, and the other is Lei Luo, who has been in the limelight recently. Lawrence. This person, who was previously an obscure retired lieutenant colonel, suddenly jumped out of the presidential race, and marched all the way, overwhelming many competitors with an absolute vote rate, and became Alain's biggest enemy in succession overnight.
"It's all a bunch of clowns."
In front of the big screen, a tall figure stood. This man has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, standing imposingly, just a back, it is difficult to ignore. Someone came from behind and said with a smile: "If Mr. Roddy's words are heard by those people in the old party, this Mr. Lei Luo is a rookie of the party they have tried their best to cultivate." β
The tall man was none other than Roddy, the man who had now succeeded the head of the Beskod patriarch, and there was a little more vicissitudes in his eyebrows than before. There are a few more silver threads on the sideburns, which adds a bit of mature charm to Roddy. When Roddy succeeded him as the patriarch, people once thought that Roddy could not pick up this heavy beam, not to mention his ability, and the force alone was too far behind Horn.
But not long after, after Luo Di personally participated in a ground operation against the Freedom Gate, and showed the strength of the top level 30 powerhouses in this operation, people learned that this man had quietly advanced to the ranks, and at the same time, he also dispelled some people's ulterior motives. Even though Roddy's strength was still not as strong as his father's, he was still young, and the general-level combat power was enough to serve as the head of the clan. What's more, there is also a spear demon Ferding by Roddy's side, which is a fierce man who dares to provoke even Alexander Station.
Together, the strength of Bethcord is still not to be ignored.
Roddy took a cigar in his mouth, looked at the man in front of him with excellent demeanor and image, and said, "I thought Mr. Vig had gone to the interstellar defense line to deliver supplies again, but I didn't expect it to appear today." Why, could it be that today's speech in Mobile is more important than the last meeting with the Federation to negotiate, I remember that the Smith family sent a family elder to represent it last time. β
Vig smiled wryly, Horn is definitely an old nobleman with excellent demeanor, but I don't know why as his son, Roddy always has a scoundrel face. Even if he sits in the position of patriarch now, he may not have changed in any way. But Vig has to admit that this man's style and his combat power are also charming.
"Mr. Roddy, don't make fun of me." It is no secret that Vig pursued Windsor Bello in the circle of the upper aristocracy, and he was not surprised that Roddy would joke about it, and there was a hint of reproach: "Last time, I was inseparable from my eldest brother, and in fact, whether it was me or my eldest brother, we only had respect for Bescord and Lord Horn. These are not compliments, but sincere words from the bottom of my heart. If it is replaced by others, although the members of the clan have to be maintained, I believe that no one can be as decisive and free as Lord Horn. β
"We have become accustomed to taking profit as the starting point in everything, and we always tell our descendants to be rational in dealing with the facts, and to weigh everything in the interests of the family. But we forget that there are some things that cannot be thought about in terms of profit and reason, and those cold numbers bury our blood. The Iron Prison has reminded us of a lot of things. One of them is that family members should be above interests, which is the foundation of a family! Vig said solemnly.
Roddy put away his cynical smile and nodded at Vig. Then another voice rang out: "Isn't this Mr. Vig and Mr. Roddy?" β
With a helpless expression, Vig shrugged his shoulders and turned his head and said, "Mr. Main, it's a pleasure to see you. β
It was none other than Main who came, and thanks to Bescord's blow, Alexander's reputation and assets fell to the bottom. But the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Alexander was still barely in the upper aristocratic circles, otherwise he would not have seen Main here today. Luo Di and the others are in the clubhouse on the top floor of the Venus Hotel at the moment, and some prominent figures in the upper nobility will come here today, first, to watch the live broadcast of Mobit's speech, and secondly, to determine the president's intentions to determine the next attitude towards the Federation, which will bring about the future of each family, so there are not many people present today.
Vig and Main exchanged pleasantries and then made an excuse to leave, and the Smiths and Alexander still had some cooperative relationship. Roddy knew that Vig's words just now were from the bottom of his heart, but respect was respect, and people like Wig would not offend Main, an ally, because of such private feelings, so it was normal for him to choose to leave. Main walked over with a goblet and said with a smile: "Mr. Roddy doesn't look very good, it seems that the family's affairs are not going well." β
"You're concerned, Mr. Main. I'm curious, is Alexander's family doing well now? Otherwise, why would Mr. Main have time to care about me instead of focusing more on the family? β
Roddy deliberately patted his head: "Oh, I forgot." I've been a little busy lately, and I've been so busy that I've forgotten to take care of your Alexander's house, so it's no wonder that Mr. Main has a leisurely look that makes me unhappy to look at it. β
Main's face turned green with anger, he didn't expect Roddy to openly threaten himself on such an occasion, and said angrily at the moment: "Roddy, what do you mean by this? β
"The meaning is obvious, Lao Tzu has not forgotten what the Alexander family did, so the retaliation against you will continue to come, at least not with me."
"Just you, Roddy?" Main sneered, "If Mr. Horn were still here, I would have thought more about the weight of your words." But it's just you......"
"It's just that I can already beat your balls out, if you don't believe me, you can try." Luo Di grinned again: "What's more, Lao Tzu is now the patriarch, if you want to deal with you, I will let Ferding out of the horse, has Mr. Main forgotten that in the Garden of Eden, Ferding hit the black sun, you are scared to the bottom." β
Main's face suddenly became hot, and he even heard a few chuckles. He glared at Luo Di hatefully, scolding people on this occasion is the best, and with Luo Di's current strength, he can't clean it up with three punches and two legs. Either way, it's just that he suffers, but what is hateful is that Roddy has always been known for being a reckless scoundrel, and Main is not afraid of being embarrassed. If you continue to entangle, it will only be Main who will suffer, so this patriarch of Alexandria put on a pretense of being too lazy to pay attention to you, and then turned around and left.
But by the reflection of the wine glass, he saw that Roddy behind him raised his middle finger at himself regardless of the image, and Main was so angry that he almost vomited blood, so he walked faster.
Roddy snorted and turned to look at the big screen. Now that the camera of the screen has shifted to Golden Wing Street, you can see that the president's motorcade is slowly driving into the street, the seat frame of the mobile is raised, and Mr. President stands up and smiles at the people on both sides, earning enough affinity points.
Five fast combat ships slowly flew by on the Golden Wing Street, escorting the convoy. In addition, snipers have been placed on many buildings on both sides of the street, and there are guards sent by the Black Wing Legion on the ground, and many strong soldiers have been placed in them to make sure that everything is safe. The whole of Babylon was put on high alert, strictly prohibiting the entry and exit of any airship, and all airships that violated the regulations could attack without warning, so as to prevent the Gate of Liberty from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
But even with all the preparations, the presidential motorcade had not yet crossed a quarter of the distance from the main street, when suddenly the window on the top floor of a building on the left shattered, and a mobile light cannon battery was pushed out, and then the battery launched an attack on the convoy below. Even Roddy was stunned by this sudden accident, and such assembled turrets crashed out of the buildings on both sides of the screen one after another, and there was a burst of bombardment on both sides of Golden Wing Street.
A scream rang out on the screen, and when the airships in the sky and the ground forces began to counterattack, the live broadcast was interrupted, leaving only Luo Di and other nobles looking at each other.
There was chaos on Golden Wing Street.
The sudden attack made people completely lose their minds, and the nobles of Babylon rushed out in a panic, but there were so many onlookers at today's event that the crowd filled the entire neighborhood. How could it be so easy to evacuate suddenly, and the soldiers of the Black Wing Legion were even more busy trying to evacuate the people while fighting back.
In the chaos, a little girl is pushed down and is about to be stepped on by the people behind her. Suddenly, someone flashed past her, and by the time the little girl had come to her senses, she had already been sent to the corner of the street. Vincent pushed the little girl and said, "Don't go yet." The little girl hurriedly left. Vincent then said with a headset, "Start the second phase." β
"Yes, my lord."
Five flying ships were strafing the cannon batteries in many buildings, when suddenly one of them turned its guns and opened fire on friendly aircraft. Before the pilots on the two nearby airships could react, the airships had already been swept down. Two flying ships fell out of control, and after one flew diagonally to Golden Wing Street, the hull of the ship grazed several buildings, shattered countless glass and walls, and spilled to the ground. The airship eventually crashed into a business building two blocks back, blowing up two floors into the sky. The other fell in the direction of Dawn Square, but before it fell, a fireball of lightning rose from the ground, intercepted and detonated in the air, but it was the strong man in the army on the ground who made a move.
The chaos is still spreading.
In the midst of the chaos, Vincent approached the presidential convoy as a Union soldier, and even opened fire on the group's gunmen pouring out on both sides, killing two of them. Pushing away a soldier, Vincent saw Alain. He left the convoy under the protection of a group of elite soldiers and was moving towards a shopping mall on Main Street. At this time, several momentum appeared out of thin air, and several powerhouses of the Light Hidden Society flashed from the crowd. In the team that protected Alain, two men dressed as soldiers suddenly had their qi soaring and greeted the strong man of the Light Hidden Society, and the two sides immediately fought.
Vincent had already arrived nearby, and Alain's guards had killed a few more. The officer in charge of the team saw Vincent and waved his hand to help, which was exactly what Vincent wanted. He kept his head down as much as he could, and walked out of Alain's line of sight, and eventually the group moved downstairs to the mall. At the moment of entering the mall, with the opportunity of the light turning from bright to dark, Vincent suddenly broke out with all his strength.
By the time the commander reacted, the remaining elite soldiers were strangled by Vincent almost simultaneously. By this time, Vincent's hand had been inserted into Alain's body, amputating his spine. As Alain fell, Vincent was delighted by the terrified expression on the man's face.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers at the commander, and the officer who was rushing up immediately exploded in the head. After doing all this, Vincent was about to leave, but then Alain's voice rang out: "Hello, Mr. Vincent." β
Vincent was stunned, he was sure that Alain had turned into a corpse, but the voice came from the corpse. Vincent crouched down, fumbled around Alain, and finally pulled off a button, and the voice came from the button: "Speaking of which, I should thank you, if it weren't for your attack, I don't know when my plan would have been launched." β
As soon as the words fell, suddenly a row of glass windows in the building on the opposite street exploded, and a figure shot out from it and quickly descended. The man was in the air, and the man shouted, "For the sake of the Vesters! β
"For the sake of the Puran family!"
"For the Manwit!"
Roars came and went, and streams of qi suddenly appeared on the chaotic battlefield, and Vincent was sure that those men were not his men. Thinking of the words that came out of the button just now, Vincent snorted. He knew that he had been tricked, and the one who died at his feet must be Alain's stand-in. As for those who shout the family's name, I'm afraid it has something to do with Alain's so-called plan.
He crushed the button and shouted in the headset: "Hurry up, evacuate according to the route we planned before, it's a trap!" Pitfall! β
Another, a block from Golden Wing Street, Alain stands in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. He put down his binoculars and threw a walkie-talkie at his feet to explode: "Trap? That's right, but this trap isn't for you, Vincent. Now the light will change from dark to light, I am not afraid of you at all, I am worried about another hidden danger. And this is for them......"
"And after today, there is no one who can stop me from succeeding to the throne. Speaking of which, thanks to you, Mr. Vincent. β
He turned around and said to his assistant not far away, "Let's go, the battle over there should be about the same." β
The assistant cautiously asked, "Sir, are you still going to Dawn Square?" β
"Of course, speaking engagements are not canceled for any reason. Unless I'm dead, it looks like I won't be able to die today. Alain laughed and strode out of the room.
In the clubhouse on the top floor of the Venus Hotel, a number of important aristocratic figures, including Vig and Main, gathered in front of the big screen. Roddy had already cut open another cigar and took a puff, saying, "What's going on?" The West, Puran and Manwitt families openly attacked the presidential motorcade, why we didn't get any information beforehand. β
Vig smiled bitterly, "This is a trap for us." β
"I'll have to go back first, it looks like I'm going to be busy for a while." Main said suddenly, his expression solemn, not even in the mood to compete with Roddy.
Roddy pondered: "What Mr. Vig means is that someone framed us. Will those people ......?"
"No, I'm sure they are indeed from those three families. After today, our relationship with the Federation will be so bad that we will no longer be able to find the same way as last time. The difference is that last time the Federation was in a loss, and this time, it is clear that we cannot explain it. Vig also nodded to the people around him and said, "I'll take my leave first, today's incident is very bad, I need to go back immediately and discuss countermeasures with my eldest brother." β
Even the Smith family of the three wealthy families is still so cautious, you can see how bad it is that members of the three families suddenly appeared today to attack the presidential motorcade. Luo Di sighed, looked out the window and said, "Father, you tried everything possible to drag down the relationship between the Federation and the nobles, but now it seems that everything has been in vain." β
An hour later, the president's speech was still being held in Dawn Square, and it was realized that there was only a presidential stand-in in the motorcade. Murbit, played by Alain, harshly reprimanded the masterminds of the attack during the speech, and three days later, a bombshell news spread in Babylon. As a result of the aristocrats' blatant attack on the President of the Federation, the last bottom line of coexistence between the Federation and the nobility has been torn apart. According to the Federal Constitution, this situation will be considered the greatest crisis of the Federation. In the face of this crisis, in order to ensure the smooth passage of the Federation, the President of the Federation during his term of office will succeed him unconditionally. As a result, Mobile has the right to succeed, which makes the candidate Lei Luo have nothing to do with dry eyes.
Next, the Federation and the nobility frequently negotiated, but in the end to no avail. A month later, the federal government constitutionally imposed martial law on Babylon and demanded that all families evacuate the floating islands to avoid misunderstandings or more serious accidents.
At this point, the official rupture between the Federation and the nobility was finally made!
