On the morning of the third day before the launch of Capricorn 1, an unexpected situation immediately made Sato Kosuke nervous, and his controller, the engineer, monitored and discovered the defense minister of country A, Howard, through the chip control system in President Hobart's brain. Admiral Shaw unexpectedly came to the president's office and officially asked President Hobart to postpone the launch of Capricorn 1.

After receiving the report from the control engineer, Kosuke Sato immediately adjusted the picture to the big screen in his office, and carefully looked at Admiral Xiao sitting opposite the president on the big screen on the opposite wall, and he found that this middle-aged man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses looked very shrewd and capable, tall, elegant and neat, especially good at numbers, only to hear him continue to say to President Hobart:

"Dear Mr. President, my proposal was well thought out, it was not a spur of the moment, and I insisted on postponing the launch of Capricorn 1, and that there would be a suitable time window for the launch in a month, mainly because one of our military's most important research instruments placed on Capricorn 1 had a big malfunction, which is used to collect the tiny particles of the universe, and it will be able to help us study very important topics. These topics will play a decisive role in the major changes in military weapons in the future, especially when we are preparing to go to the depths of the universe, I can't imagine that our astronauts are shirtless, they may face many unpredictable life forms in the universe, or friends or enemies, but as long as an unexpected evil ** happens, our excellent astronauts who are powerless will have to sit back and wait, and the efforts of many scientists and the huge amount of money that have been spent will also be in vain. Because although you have just rejected my request, I still solemnly ask that the launch mission be postponed in three days, and that we will be able to restore the faulty equipment to normal in a month. ”

When Hobart was silent, Kosuke Sato was already very anxious, and he immediately dialed the video call of Hobart's president's controller, the engineer, and demanded in the harshest tone that they immediately exercise the most effective control over Hobart and stop similar Howard at all costs? Admiral Shaw makes any attempt to delay the normal launch of Capricorn 1.

Howard stared intently at President Hobart behind his glasses behind his blue eyes and in deep thought, he didn't know if the president would agree to a reasonable request to postpone the launch after his own persuasion, he actually hoped that the president would agree, in that case, George? All of Lieutenant General Runes' worries and speculations may be wrong, and things will be very easy to handle, as long as he tells President Hobart tomorrow that the fault has been solved, Capricorn 1 can still be launched normally, and nothing will change.

The president's body, who was bowing his head in contemplation, suddenly shook slightly, and this small shock might have been ignored if it hadn't been for Howard watching Hobart intently. Hobart then looked up and asked, "Mr. Minister, I wonder if this piece of equipment of yours doesn't have a backup part or a backup device to replace it?" ”

Howard found that the president's expression was much colder than when he first came in just now, and his tone of voice was relatively stiff, he slowly shook his head and replied: "Dear Mr. President, my people and I have thought of all the ways we can think of, I really have no solution to come to you to ask for a postponement of the launch time, this request is also very reasonable, our Department of Defense is the largest mission executor and fund provider of this Mars mission, I must let my other secret projects be completed in this operation, The landing on Mars was just a show, and it wasn't a very complicated task. ”

"I'm sorry, Howard! I still can't agree to your request, we've been preparing for this space program for many years, and all the work has been done, at this time I can't postpone the launch for as long as a month just because one of your little instruments is malfunctioning, maybe I may agree to postpone it for three days, but I certainly can't accept it for a month, maybe your department should find a way to replace a similar device. ”

"But Mr. President, this equipment cannot be replaced, I have already said this problem, the research project of this equipment is related to the research and development process of our new particle weapon system in country A, if we cannot obtain the required sample data and research results in this space mission, we may lag behind those competitors who are catching up in the future competition, this is a major matter related to national security, not a small problem like a small instrument failure." Howard still follows George? Runes's demands continued to hold his own opinion, and by this time his thoughts were more in line with that of Lieutenant General Runes, who thought that there might really be something wrong with President Hobart.

President Hobart became impatient and impatient, he rubbed his hands unnaturally and said: "Howard, I have already said, I can't change this major launch plan because of your problems, I don't want to repeat it, you still have two days to solve the problem with your equipment, and Capricorn 1 must be launched on time in the morning of three days!" ”

Seeing that the president's tone was unusually resolute, Howard? Admiral Xiao had no choice but to stand up and leave, he knew that although he could not clearly determine what the president's problem was, but there might be a problem, the president did not even gather his cronies together to discuss the issue as is customary, and directly rejected his own not very excessive request, although this kind of thing had happened a few times before, but it was rare for the president to refuse on the spot like this time.

Kosuke Sato was only slightly relieved to see Admiral Shaw turn around and leave the president's office from the screen, he was worried that the launch of Capricorn 1 would be unexpectedly delayed, because once the first launch was postponed, then it was possible to postpone it again or even cancel the launch, which was something that Kosuke Sato could not bear.

Ryoko Misaki, who was standing next to Kosuke Sato, said with some concern at this time: "Is our control engineer a little too direct, according to the practice of country A, the department directly related to the launch mission of the spacecraft can put forward a reason for postponing the launch, at least the president should be a little more cautious before making his own decision." ”

Kosuke Sato shook his head and replied: "Ryoko, we can't take care of this much, there is not much time left in the term of this Hobart president, I will not care about his future anymore, when this most important thing is completed, we can destroy the chip in its brain, and all this will be like it never happened, then we will have nothing to worry about." ”

Seeing Sato's unusually resolute attitude, Ryoko Misaki couldn't say anything more, she understood very well that Sato Hongsuke only cared about these large quantities of high-quality raw materials that could get the three Capricorn spaceships on time. At this time, Shuzo Yasuda came to Kosuke Sato's office as planned and invited Kosuke Sato to inspect the production base for the construction of the Black Hawk Fortress that was about to start in the crater, Ryoko Misaki also took the opportunity to leave Sato Kosuke's room, she flew directly in a Black Hawk C-10 outside the door in the direction of the Sakamoto Legion's station, she promised Naoki Sakamoto to see him off before he set off for the 'North American Wild Wolf' operation, now is the best time.

Since Chen Fangyu and Ouyang Rongguang rescued Fei Meng's son Fei Xinyue, Li Kang has been very depressed, although Zhang Xiaoqian, who tried to escape together, was killed on the spot by himself, but Li Kang's heart was very uncomfortable, he had been secretly thinking about Zhang Xiaoqian before, not only because of the relationship with Zhang Xiaoqian at the celebration banquet of the New New Human Association, but because Li Kang just likes Zhang Xiaoqian, a gentle and elegant lady type of girl, Wei Chunyan also belongs to this type, Although she is not very ladylike enough now. Li Kang held a very formal funeral for Zhang Xiaoqian and the two deceased after finding the remains of the hummingbird C-10, and he forwarded the video of the funeral to Fei Meng, so that Fei Meng knew that his wife was buried on a mountain not far from Li Kang's base, this is not that Li Kang wants to show how merciful he is, he just wants to put on a very generous posture, and he really wants to do something for Zhang Xiaoqian.

The performance of his son Li Xinjie in the process of blocking Chen Fangyu and others from escaping made Li Kang very disappointed, but after all, it was his own son Li Kang, and he could only scold and scold, and he was a little disappointed that the Tianyu Ice Commando led by Cold Ice Flying Dance was not able to play a huge role in blocking Li Kang, Li Kang didn't understand why the very powerful Tianyu Pavilion Lord and Cold Ice Flying Dance couple couldn't catch Fei Meng, last time it was Gu Xinyu who was watching in the villa easily escaped, This time, with the cooperation of heavy troops, dozens of hummingbirds escaped from the encirclement again, Li Kang even suspected that the Tianyu Pavilion Lord was a little biased towards Chen Fangyu, suspecting that he was confused by Chen Fangyu's beauty, otherwise it should be easy to completely eradicate Chen Fangyu's huge threat this time, but speculation can only be speculation, and Li Kang does not have any evidence and reason to directly suspect the Tianyu Hanbing couple, he doesn't even want to doubt them, Li Kang knows that he has to rely on this couple to be safer after all.

According to the newlywed travel schedule of Wang Xiaoning and his wife, Li Kang knew that Wang Xiaoning would not return to the base for a month, and Wang Xiaoning's base is now only managed and defended by his son Li Xinjie, which makes Li Kang feel very uneasy, it is the most important base for the production of anti-aging drugs, and now a large amount of dollars earned from country A are produced by the factory in Wang Xiaoning's base, if there is any problem there, the impact will be very large. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Kang decided to transfer Tang Junwu, the second eldest of the Tang Erfat brothers on Kleberg Island in country A, back, and he was still more relieved of Tang Junwu Li Kang, thinking that he was at least much better than his youngest son who could only spend a lot of time drinking.
