Chapter 67: The Chameleon (I)
“…… Yesterday, there was a bloody clash in Miami, 2 dead and 14 wounded, this memorial was to commemorate Edward Green, the leader of the maritime resistance group 'Black Chess' who died in the ACA crackdown, and his subordinates, but after the commemoration began, there was a clash between mourners and demonstrators, most of whom were victims of the 'Black Flag' unrestricted plunder, former Cuban Navy Captain Edward Green, and his ' The Black Flag's unrestrained plunder in the Caribbean has been fraught with controversy, and there have been mixed opinions within the League about whether he is a hero or a pirate......"

"I want to know what's going on with your 'C' plan, Marca Secosta, and the 'Flying Foxes' team."
"......" The talkative old Green was silent for a moment, but seemed to be prepared for Ling Yu's question, he was silent for a moment, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket - the same one he took out when he met Ling Yu last time.
"I can finally buy a few more packs of cigarettes," Uncle Green put the cigarette to his mouth, took a lighter out of his pocket and lit it, this time he didn't save it, but smoked almost two-thirds of the cigarettes left in one go, and then pressed the window and spit the smoke out of his mouth, "I knew you were going to ask this question, and honestly, you can only ask here." ”
"......" Ling Yu looked at Green, as silent as the others.
"This topic is forbidden, and within the guerrillas, it is not because of any rules and regulations that have been set by anyone, but because everyone tacitly agrees not to talk about these issues." Old Green took another puff until the cigarette butt burned to the filter full of tar, and then reluctantly popped the cigarette butt out of the window, "After all, this is the one thing that will lead to the collapse of faith." ”
"Faith...... Collapse? Linya muttered to a low voice, and Jesse lifted her hand to Linya's lap, motioning for her not to interrupt.
"Why? Colonel Chino himself had a cousin who worked at the police department in Florence, yes, for the ACA. Green smiled bitterly and sighed deeply, "Even the hottest little hairy man in the guerrillas knows that it is impossible to drive the ACA away, and victory and hope never belong to us guys...... Without a ridiculous belief, when we gnaw the bark and grass roots in the snowy mountains, I am afraid that everyone will throw away their weapons and disperse. ”
"But that's the ACA......," Linya frowned, as if she wanted to correct something, but she lacked confidence, so she could only speak in a tone that was somewhere between inquiring and talking to herself.
"Have you really been a military attaché?" Logan smiled bitterly and interrupted Linya, "I thought that people who worked in the embassy would understand a little bit about politics." ”
"I ......" Linya seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't speak, in fact, surprisingly, she didn't fight back in the face of Logan's almost sarcastic language.
It's not that I don't know, it's just that I don't want to say it out of my mouth.
"Yes, that's the ACA, with planned massacres, enslavements, curfews, heavy taxes, rationing systems, restrictions on entertainment, secret police on the streets, maybe when you go out and buy a newspaper full of lies, you will be caught and reformed, endless 'sacrifice for human evolution'...... We know these things, and they are the source of our faith, and we want to restore the freedom and well-being of our homeland to its former days - and although few of us have lived through those days, this does not prevent us from thinking so," Greene did not fluctuate from the argument in the back seat, but still stated it in a playful tone, "but what do the 'commoners' think? The war broke out, but life can still be lived, although it is a lot of suffering, but it is still possible to survive, and occasionally you can be given a glass of beer or a little entertainment by your own owner...... Man is a very adaptable animal. ”
"It's also a ...... Apathetic animals. Ling Yu in the front row closed his eyes, "So it's hard for you to get the support of the majority of the people now?" Is this the reason for Maka's anger? ”
"We're nationalists, strictly speaking, I'm an 'internationalist fighter,' and what happens here has nothing to do with me, but we're really nationalists, and a hundred years ago, maybe there was a synonym for terrorists." Green had a nonchalant look, but Ling Yu had no doubt that he had caught a trace of sadness, "Perhaps, in fact, we are just a bunch of terrorists who can only destroy but not build. ”
"So we slowly gave up, slowly wavered, we began to doubt the meaning of our own resistance, and on the ruins of the arsenal that we blew up, the girls and mothers of Milan wept silently with the photos of their boyfriends and sons......" Uncle Green sighed and shook his head, "So, the captain of the Flying Bats, who was also the main peace faction of the guerrillas at that time, accepted the offer of the mayor of Milan to participate in a peace negotiation on behalf of Colonel Chino. ”
"It's a trap." Ling Yu closed his eyes, he never minded speculating on humans with the worst malice, because this was a kind of reality of human beings.
"In fact, we were prepared for a long time, and the reason why we chose the location in Milan was because of the difficulty of the ACA's city-wide search, and everyone was equipped with your DNA testing badges, and when the ACA soldiers appeared, they fled, and everything went smoothly...... If it weren't for the 'civilians' for whom they 'fought......"
"They could have escaped, and we don't even expect help from the 'civilians', we just want them to ignore strangers instead of calling the ACA gendarmes right away...... Nothing was done, and those they protected did not hesitate to denounce these 'rebels' with fear and hostility......"
"Thirteen people, all of them were captured and then publicly executed."
Uncle Green wistfully took out the last cigarette in his cigarette case and put it in his mouth, but did not light it.
"Among them, Marca's fiancée, the vice-captain of the Foxes......"
Ling Yu pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but soon he realized that any words were meaningless, but fortunately, it seemed that Green didn't intend to continue the topic either, he lit a cigarette and took a shallow puff.
"Since then, Marca has become an extremely radical existent, he has always advocated large-scale retaliation against the city of Milan, even this operation, after Colonel Chino and the allied intelligence officers connected, he has always advocated that we use satellites to attack the city of Milan, but Colonel Chino did not agree to his 'Plan C', in the case of Colonel Chino, this plan is only to retaliate against the incident of the Fox Squad, and the target of the revenge is also the ACA, not the civilians." Uncle Green's tone remained unchanged, and he slowly stated, "The situation of the guerrillas is getting worse and worse, and Marca is becoming more and more silent, this time the matter is completely caused by him, and Colonel Chino probably knows that the guerrillas will not survive this winter, so he dismissed the old and weak and agreed to this plan." ”
"Actually, from a purely rational point of view," Ling Yu closed his eyes and sighed, "attacking Milan City can cause greater losses, because burning the flames of war on the enemy's territory has been the only way to fight since ancient times, and if there are a large number of casualties in Milan...... I mean, millions of casualties, then the ACA must be on the defensive on the entire front, even if they will not draw combat troops, they will need to use a large number of reserve troops to deal with the endgame in Milan, in addition, Milan is also the most important transportation center in northwestern Italy, destroying Milan will break the neck of the ACA army on the Turin front, not to mention the offensive, I am afraid that the cost of defense will be greatly increased. ”
"If so...... Model of the particle cannon...... It is capable of destroying the core area of Milan City with a single blow...... Casualties could be in the high seven figures...... Including a large number of burns, scalds, as well as the wounded buried in the rubble...... The ACA needs hundreds of thousands of trained people and hundreds of millions of tons of supplies to complete the rescue. ”
Linya's voice trembled slightly, as a young military attache who had witnessed the attack of satellite weapons on Icarus, it was her duty to gather information on these superweapons, "Because Milan is an undefended city, and there are not a lot of underground bunkers...... Even if there is, it will not be too late to escape into it, there are two and a half million people in Milan! If you use Sforza Castle as a anchor point...... God...... At least 750,000 people will be directly vaporized, and millions will be affected......"
"I hope ...... This is always a dangerous assumption. Jiesi closed her eyes, leaned forward, and grabbed Ling Yu's shoulder.
"I hope so too." Ling Yu raised his hand and patted the hand that Jiesi had placed on his shoulder, "I think, Colonel Chino also hopes so." ”
"At least, we're still fighting a just war," Green smiled weakly, "and we're not going to change the nature of this war." ”
"But." Logan leaned back in his chair, looked out the window at the white, and sighed, "Attacking the base will cause huge casualties, and it is likely to ...... This time it was the swan song of the Italian Free Army. ”
"That's better than becoming an Italian butcher's army," Green bit the end of his cigarette, his voice flat but resolute, "Actually, what you see now is a pure volunteer team, all those who have doubts have been dismissed or sent to other resistance groups, we have decided, even if everyone gives up resistance and accepts the rule of the ACA, we will not, we will fight to the end, at least until the last real Italian falls, the ACA will shed enough blood for this." ”
"Throwing a fist at someone who has no power to fight back is not called bravery, but cowardice." Jiesi closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, "I know that I will lose a qiē, but I still decide to swing my fist at someone stronger than myself in order to protect something, which is called bravery." ”
****
A real warrior may be a soldier, but not all soldiers are real warriors, and this sentence is not derogatory, because war is not a romantic game, but a history of success and defeat.
In some way, the result is more important.
Ling Yu raised his head, under the clear sky, this city with a long history was as calm, tranquil, and peaceful as any ancient city he had ever visited.
The buildings with a distinctly Baroque and Byzantine style are interspersed with Gothic and Romanesque influences, and these buildings that were clearly built later, but strive to be close to the ancients, are contrasted with the new electric cars on the street, and the light and shadow outlined by the sunlight are like a surrealist abstract painting that travels through time and space.
Aside from the scattered black uniforms on the streets, there was not the slightest hint of war in the city, and there was not much fear or tension in the eyes of the people who came and went in a hurry.
The war is coming, but is life going on?
"Boss, this way."
"Oh, yes."
Jiesi woke up Ling Yu, who was looking at the street with a soft voice, and Ling Yu gently buttoned the big cap, tidied up her neckline, and followed the footsteps of the four people in front of her.
"This Giacomo restaurant is 100 years old and has never been blown up, and the big guy is inside." Green walked ahead, pointing to a small building on the other side of the bustling street, while Ling Yu was keenly aware that in addition to the guards at the door, there were several secret police on both sides of the street.
"Let's go, let's meet this big man," Logan whistled and beckoned to Linya to catch up with Grimm, and Ling Yu and Jess exchanged a look, following closely behind.
"Sir!"
Green was wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant, and Ling Yu was a non-commissioned officer, so the gendarmes at the door naturally had to salute, and when they walked into the dimly lit restaurant, the waiter greeted them directly.
"What do you want?"
Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, in most restaurants, the waiter takes the guests into their seats first, and then asks this sentence, but obviously, Green is already very familiar with this set.
"There should already be a gentleman who ordered the bourbon set meal and it's upstairs." Uncle Green nodded, "Take us up." ”
"Okay."
Everyone followed the waiter up the stairs, and there was a low creak from the old wooden staircase, and at this moment, Jiesi gently poked Ling Yu's waist.
"Boss ......"
Ling Yu didn't look back, but put his right hand behind his back and stretched out two fingers to indicate "I know".
He understood what Jeuness was trying to say - it was not that there were no customers in the restaurant of Nuoda, but there was no secret police, in stark contrast to the seven or eight secret policemen outside the door, there was only one possibility of such an arrangement - that is, the role of the secret police outside the door was not to protect, but to monitor.
With this in mind, the people who had walked up the stairs followed the waiter to the door of a private room, and the waiter took a step to the left and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"That's right here."
Green nodded, pushed the door open and walked in, and was greeted by a large sofa, and sitting in the middle of the sofa was a man in his forties, a middle-aged man with dark hair and a mustache, and in addition to that, the impressive feature was that he was round - a very fat man.
This man seems to be a little familiar.
Just as Ling Yu was thinking, he suddenly felt Linya, who was standing behind him, take a step back!
"Yo, I'm here again." The man on the couch smiled, the fat on his face twisted together and barely visible to his eyes, "Brother Green." ”
"What do you say, Director Andorra." Green stepped forward and smiled flatteringly, and at that moment, the faces of the remaining three changed suddenly.
Andorra Jericho – The man in front of him is the Eye of Unity, the head of the Italian Bureau!
