Chapter 214: Firefly's Wish
“…… Probably for the first time in history! According to the latest information we have received, anti-war groups have demonstrated in several major cities of the ACA in South America, and we are convinced that the local ACA repressive forces and the people's marches have clashed and caused casualties, and the three main anti-war groups, which have usually used peaceful protests as the only means, used Molotov cocktails, bricks, and it is believed that there are guns in the protests for the first time, but there are no similar riots in the ACA's African-controlled districts, and we will continue to monitor ......"

Ling Yu kicked the exit of the submarine, jumped onto the wooden trestle that was obviously civilian, and then turned around and grabbed Helis by the arm to lift her up from the submarine.
"It seems that there are no residents here, so they should have been evacuated."
Ling Yu looked around, the whole town was illuminated by spotlights as if it was daylight, but most of the rooms were still dark, the ACA's resistance here was not very fierce, it should have been withdrawn with a slight contact, most of the buildings were still intact, a large number of soldiers and vehicles were shuttling through the town, hanging the armbands of the 66th National Guard Division.
The National Guard is a product of the American era, but in the Confederate era, this organization was not only retained, but also strengthened its training and equipment, and increased its combat effectiveness, in order to be able to cope with such an occasion, at least to give the regular army some response!
"Where are the bomb disposal experts?! Are there any bomb disposal experts? ”
As soon as Ling Yu and the others got on the dock, a voice came, Ling Yu turned his head, and a captain was shouting at the soldiers coming and going.
"Go help." Ling Yu and Helis exchanged glances, then turned to look at Logan, and the girl with the silver cloak walked over.
"191st Mobile Army. We have bomb disposal specialists on our side. ”
Ling Yu walked up to the captain, nodded, and then patted Helis on the shoulder with his backhand.
"Thank you very much, our bomb specialist was injured by the Trick Mine just now, and there are a whole bunch of bombs that haven't been disposed of, damn ACA." The captain returned a military salute gratefully, then glanced at Helis, "Are you TF?" ”
"Just leave it to her," Ling Yu didn't answer directly, but seeing that he could still swagger around here in the outfits of a few people, it was obviously not a normal soldier, the young man in black glanced at Helis and got an affirmative answer from the girl's eyes, and then spoke. "Is this going well so far?"
"As far as I know, it's not a big deal, sir." The captain nodded, and the TF on the battlefield was generally a colonel-level officer, so he called out to the commander, "At present, we have basically controlled the air supremacy over Washington, and we will soon start a counteroffensive - this is all I know." ”
"Okay," Ling Yu regretted as soon as he asked, what does a captain of the National Guard know? He gave a military salute awkwardly. Then he handed Helis to the other party.
Helis took out an electronic board and handed it to the captain in front of him, with the words "Talk to me with this". The captain was stunned for a moment, but nodded anyway - TF legends are all quirks, so there is no need to make a fuss.
Herris didn't care about the other party's surprise, turned her head, and left a word for Ling Yu.
I'll help them a little bit more and come back later.
"Okay. We'll meet in the command car then," Ling Yu knew that Liana had already driven the command car to the periphery of Woodbridge, but considering that the traffic jam here was really strict, he didn't come to pick them up.
"Ling Yu."
Seeing Helis away, Ling Yu suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him. He turned to see Linya carrying the Wild Rose on her back.
"What's wrong?" Ling Yu glanced at Logan in the distance, the man in the suit was carrying a sniper rifle, made an OK gesture, and then turned around and pulled Han Fei, who looked sleepy, into the Sea Eagle commandos who crawled out one after another behind him.
"I have something to talk to you about." Linya shook her head slightly, the pigtail on the right side of her short flaxen hair swaying slightly, "Find a quiet place." ”
"Okay." Ling Yu nodded.
***
"Would you like something to drink?"
In a small bar south of Woodbridge, Ling Yu put three hundred-dollar general-purpose coins on the bar, then picked up a bottle of wine and pressed the banknotes, put them back in his wallet, glanced at the wine cabinet, and asked.
Woodbridge was naturally evacuated, there were no civilians, and there could be no bars that were still open, but after all, it was only a temporary evacuation, so some bars were not locked - this was also an unwritten rule between the Allied military community and the people, if the army needed supplies, they could take it themselves with cash left, and they could break into the door if necessary, of course, the door lock would not be compensated.
"Except for socializing, I said I didn't drink alcohol, do you believe it?"
Linya put the long sword on the stool next to her, holding her head with both hands, looking preoccupied, "If you socialize, you basically don't feel any difference between the things in your hands and water, right?" ”
"A soldier who is strict with himself? Actually, it's pretty good. Ling Yu didn't really know much about wine, so he took two bottles of high-end looking wine from the wine rack, walked to the table, and gently bumped it, breaking the mouth of the red wine bottle directly, and handed it to the girl opposite like drinking beer.
"Can't afford to drink, do you believe it?" Linya took the bottle and took a few large sips - it was definitely not a drunken TF anyway.
"I believe it." Ling Yu frowned slightly, then nodded, "Actually, I knew you would come to talk to me about this time. ”
"Yes, the true god of the True God Cult, the only prehistoric human who exists...... Son of God. Linya let out a breath mixed with the smell of alcohol and closed her eyes, "The ruins of the cavalry." ”
"I'm just human...... Superman is also human, grew up in Kansas and loves ...... Poof......" Ling Yu chuckled lightly, unconsciously quoting a sentence that he would never forget.
"At least you still have parents, and I am an orphan, so it was easy to be adopted, and in less than a month, I became an orphan again." Ling Yu sighed softly, "It's not interesting to be miserable, everyone is from this era." There is no such thing as a happy childhood. ”
"But why the ruins of the cavalry?"
Ling Yu took a sip of wine and lowered his head to look at the printed label on the glass bottle in his hand.
"If the cavalry and the alliance form an alliance, it will be all over in one ......" Linya sighed heavily, "I know it's an inevitability, but your presence has greatly accelerated the pace. ”
"The Knights can't stay alone forever and pretend to sleep." Ling Yu shook his head, "It is impossible for the ACA to coexist with the Alliance. This is a war for the future of humanity. ”
"For the sake of the future of mankind, do we want the people of today to die?"
Linya stared at the bottle in her hand, closed her eyes, and spoke quietly.
"Why should the cavalry fight for the Alliance? The cavalry is simply made up of people who have been abandoned by the Alliance! The governor of Isaac and the civilians who had been deprived of supplies and driven out of the city were almost reduced to the bones of Iceland by the ruthlessness of the Alliance...... And for fifty years, in the face of the starving Nordic countries, what did the alliance, or those great powers, do? ”
"I don't deny that it's the League's fault. And there is a chance that the alliance will continue to make mistakes. Ling Yu nodded, not arguing, "But this has a much less relationship with the alliance than with each of us, after all, Char wants to kill each of us." ”
"Char or ACA? Is it possible for the league to shake hands with the ACA? Don't sue me you don't know, it's always the government that decides the war. Linya raised her head and stared at Ling Yu, "Again." You just want to kill Char, who took you away, and complete your great revenge? ”
"Both." Ling Yu didn't avoid Linya's gaze. "And just as important."
"You don't know Char, he's not a politician." Ling Yu looked at Linya's pupils and took a sip of the wine in his hand, "He's a madman, of course you can call him a genius, his gaze is ahead of the horror." There is also no respect for life, these traits are mixed together...... If he doesn't die, there's no point in the ACA being destroyed. ”
"But it's none of our business." Linya looked at Ling Yu and poured another mouthful of liquid as scarlet as blood, "The war of the alliance has never been about us!" The League itself created the undead of the Petroleum Association. And because of policy mistakes that led to the establishment of the ACA Society of Seven, the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War was still due to the corruption and bureaucracy of the League...... If the alliance can consider the three Nordic countries with no strategic value as meaningless, then why can't the Knights think that this alliance is corrupt and incompetent, rotten to the bone from the beginning, and full of lies to cross the river and tear down bridges is meaningless?! ”
"This is not a war that has nothing to do with you." Ling Yu shook his head gently, "What ACA wants to ruin is a qiē, and for Char, it's ...... He was even more interested in the Knights than in the Alliance. ”
"Don't forget, there's a traitor within the cavalry." Ling Yu stared at Linya's pupils and gritted his teeth, "The alliance may be pretending to be asleep, but the cavalry team doesn't have any consciousness to wake up!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right." Linya lowered her eyes and sighed, as if she didn't want to continue, just muttered to herself.
"Mingming...... Yiqiē has already gotten better, and it is clear that everyone will be able to live a good life soon...... Nobody wants to fight......"
"Whether we fight or not is not our decision, but the other side." Ling Yu turned his head, looked at Linya, stretched out his hand, and patted her on the shoulder gently, "And what I can do is not much more than you, at most is to inform the people of the possible war and prepare them - such as the alliance of the alliance and the knights, if this early warning can save even one more person, it is not meaningless." ”
"Your tone...... It's getting more and more like that Snow White. Linya shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Because Jesse was right, even though not many people heard her, she flapped her wings with all her might...... Burning with life. Ling Yu closed his eyes and spoke with some difficulty, "At least if I hear it, I can't pretend to be asleep." ”
"For the sake of the majority...... Sacrificing a few? Linya's voice was barely audible, she opened her lips to say something, but she couldn't.
The silence lasted for a long time.
"Well, there's someone here."
Just when Ling Yu was thinking about whether he wanted to break this silence, suddenly, a voice came from the door behind the two.
Ling Yu turned around, and several dusty Alliance infantry were standing at the door, obviously, they should have just finished a reconnaissance mission, judging from the steel helmet with a brand new scratch mark in one person's hand, and even had a firefight with the ACA infantry.
But obviously, these people also saw the two TFs in the room, so they were embarrassed at the door.
"Oh, it's okay, come in." Ling Yu nodded lightly, hooked his hand, and showed a friendly smile, "We didn't charter the venue again. ”
"Huh? You're not the one! The savior of Paris!! Suddenly, an obviously young soldier behind him shouted, and then squeezed through the crowd and squeezed to the front, "Major Ling Yu! ”
"Uh...... That one...... Seems to be, right? Ling Yu was stunned for a moment when asked, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, but the soldiers on the opposite side immediately exploded.
"It's really hey! It was the TF that prevented the reactor explosion in Paris! ”
"That's right! It's him, I've seen the news! ”
"Come on, sign my name, sign it on the helmet, those boys in E Company are not hungry yet!"
"I want it too, I want it too, sign it here, in the notebook, my son is a big fan of yours! Now Daddy has the perfect birthday present for him! ”
"Uh...... Belch...... Good ......"
Ling Yu, who had never been treated like a star like this, was stunned for a while, but he quickly adapted to the role, and his signature technique became more and more proficient.
Behind him, Linya, who was sitting at the table, looked at the smile on Ling Yu's face, sighed, and picked up the wine bottle in the back.
Drink it all. (To be continued......)
