Chapter 146: Back on the road
“…… Earlier today, more than 3,000 Parisians staged a peaceful demonstration in front of the city hall, the main purpose of the march was to protest against the government and military to transfer Ling Yu directly out of Paris without informing the relevant personnel. The allied military responded that the transfer of military units had not been and could not have been notified to the relevant local authorities...... On the other hand, the whereabouts of Ling Yu and the 'Prism' team, as well as the alliance's plan to counterattack next, have also become hot topics......"
- "Alliance Weekend", they seem to have selectively forgotten their colleague who was injured for saying that Ling Yu was a smuggler.
***
Coincidentally, like Jessica's route out of Paris, Ling Yu's "Prism" team reported a flight path over Calais over the Strait of Dovre (the narrowest part of the English Channel, called the Calais on the French side), and then eastward, directly along the 37th parallel north latitude where Moscow is located, crossing the airspace of Denmark, Lithuania and Belarus, and flying towards Moscow.
"Before the events in Paris, the Secret Service told me about it, we were going to the Balkan theater of operations, and there were clues we needed there,"
With Ling Yu's stroke, a string of information was projected above the map table where the paint had just dried, and the young man's fingers rummaged through the air, finding the document, and then turning his head to look at Riana, "Big sister." Let's elaborate. ”
"The Secret Service doesn't all eat white rice." Liana nodded and took over the topic, "The Milan incident and the Buenos Aires incident as a whole ended in the victory of the conservatives. ”
"You all know what a conservative is." Liana asked suddenly, and then answered herself, "It's the Petroleum Association, as opposed to the evolutionary faction with the Eye of Unity as the main force." ”
"Hmm." Everyone nodded, in fact, everyone knew very well.
"The conservatives have now taken back the administration of Buenos Aires, which will be the next important industrial base for the conservatives, plus cities like São Paulo. At present, most of the high-level voice within the ACA is concentrated in the hands of conservatives. Liana took a drag on her cigarette. Then he stretched out his hand to flick off the cigarette ash, "In this case, the voice within the ACA that wants to end the war and draw an equator with the alliance has been very loud. These are some of the contents of our recent collection of Evolution Daily. The direction of the wind guided by public opinion is already obvious. ”
"The Petroleum Association really doesn't want to fight it." Ling Yu thought of the meeting at the Colon Theater. I don't know if the old guy is still alive.
"It's not surprising," Han Fei pushed his glasses, and he stood on the air conditioner's upwind vent with Helis, who didn't like the smell of smoke. "Monopoly giants are still capitalists in nature, and the damage to the market caused by war is long-term, while the benefits of arms trade are short-term, which is why controlling energy has never been more important than controlling arms."
"Getting back to the point, the 'candlewax' plan orchestrated by the evolutionists is their vote, after all, no matter which city is attacked again, it will turn into a large-scale war between the two sides, which is what conservatives don't want to see." Rena pressed the butt of her cigarette on the map table, not caring about a single burning black spot on the fresh paint, she brushed her hair and spoke.
"Isn't it okay to do this thing in Paris?" Ling Yu lowered his head and didn't look at Rianna.
"As far as I know, the alliance military has not yet launched a large-scale counteroffensive plan, and the external reason is that the alliance consultation with the Knights is underway, and this matter is your old acquaintance, General Yang Chengze is in charge." Liana shook her head, "But the results of the congressional vote are not optimistic, and at most allow for a hard-lined, large-scale counteroffensive on several fronts, dealing with the media." ”
"Shhh
The news caused several TFs who were fighting for Paris to choose to remain silent, until Logan expressed his displeasure with a boo, and the meeting was able to continue.
"So in this case, it is only natural that the ACA conservatives want to engage with the Alliance, and this time they sent a colonel from the Naval Intelligence Agency, who will be waiting in the Balkan theater to interface with us."
"At the expense of their own people, but also to stop their own side from attacking the opponent's plan, why do I suddenly feel that these oil associations have changed from bad guys to good guys in an instant? If this thing is done, will it hurt a group of students again? Logan scratched his head in confusion, "I need a more detailed explanation." ”
"Let's put it this way." Ling Yu clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at Logan on the other side and spoke, "Chameleons are a racial talent of monopoly capitalism, but this does not mean that they are good people, but for the time being, out of position, we can unite to deal with the evolutionists, no matter what, the Petroleum Society will not become the great and righteous in the textbooks, after all, the 17 dirty bombs in Iraq and the suitcase nuclear bomb attack at the Philadelphia airport will definitely not let them go." ”
"Of course, one thing that must be clear is that the evolutionists have a much larger mass base in the ACA than the conservatives." Rena nodded, then looked at Ling Yu, "After years of public opinion propaganda. The people at the bottom have a strong belief in the idea of evolution, and the liberation of the alliance ruled by bureaucracy and elites is the most important force and mainstream voice in the ACA, although the voice of the upper class has changed, but the fundamental reason is that most of the senior officers do not want to destroy their own power system in a large-scale war...... To sum up, the Petroleum Institute is a ...... that grows on the ACA Cancer, and it hasn't spread yet, it will take time for ACA to have no hope of being cured. ”
"So our enemy has cancer, and we're going to work with cancer now," Logan said with an OK gesture of his hand.
"So, nominally, this officer of the Naval Intelligence Agency is planning to defect directly, and once our rescue fails, the Petroleum Institute will not help him, he can only be killed with all his secrets, and we will lose the opportunity to stop the 'candlewax' project at the last time."
"No one else knows?" Ling Yu raised his eyebrows.
"You think that everyone can go to Buenos Aires like you and kidnap a major general back." Rianna looked at Helis and Ling Yu with a smirk. Then he shook his head, "It is too difficult for an officer who is too high-ranking to defect, and he does not intend to give up his current rights and treatment, and there are not many people at the lower level who know the details of the operation, so this is the only candidate." ”
"Naval Intelligence...... That is, this attack by the ACA must have been from the sea. Suddenly, Jesse, who had been silent, spoke.
"I would like to say that the first time I heard the name 'candlewax,' my first thought was Icarus," Linya clasped her hands to her chest. Keep an eye on the map table. "After all, the name of that space station is not auspicious."
"Theoretically." Han Fei first attracted everyone's attention with a sentence, and then habitually posed a number on the control platform, "Don't talk about ACA, I'll take the Alliance's Phoenix City Missile Base as an example." The one-time anti-satellite forces at the Phoenix missile base were fully invested. And only 65% of the carrying capacity of the Icarus interception system. Theoretically, there is no zài force on Earth that can carry out a saturation attack on Icarus. Han Fei pushed his glasses.
"But will the interception system fail?" Linya still stuck to her opinion.
"The overall number of interception systems is the original technology of prehistoric civilizations. What do you think? Miss Knight? Han Fei asked rhetorically.
No system is secure.
Helis finally spoke, and a line of text floated above the map table.
"But, Herris, you also have to admit that extremely small probability events are scientifically impossible to occur, and they cannot be prevented." Han Fei's voice was still free of any emotional fluctuations, like a young university lecturer debating the theory of relativity with his students—if it weren't for his age, his temperament would be enough to become a professor who was rich in learning.
Han Fei's knowledge is more than five cars.
"Han Fei is right, we can't defend against a small probability event," Ling Yu shook his head slightly, "Treat the attack on Icarus as a feint to divert the attention of the Alliance, but, eldest sister, let Deputy Director Anderson's side act on the premise of considering Hayne's Law." ”
"I will."
"Explain what Hayne's Law is?" Logan scratched his head a little frantically.
Behind every serious accident, there must be 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses, and 1,000 hidden accidents. Hayne's Law holds that accidents occur as a result of the accumulation of quantity; The second is that no matter how good the technology is, and no matter how perfect the system is, it will ultimately fall on the people - this is why I say that no system is safe, this law was first developed by the German aeronautical engineer Pabbes. Hayne proposed, hence the name Hayne's Law.
Moving the dictionary, Little Helis turned the cat's ears and crossed his waist with one hand to display the text on the air screen in front of Logan.
"But the flip side of Hayne's Law is that any accident is preventable." Jesse smiled softly, "So as long as the Secret Service and the President, Icarus take this possibility seriously, then the danger can be minimized." ”
"Well, we're not Superman." Ling Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "System confrontation, system confrontation, comrades, don't really treat us as the Women's Federation." ”
"Poof—"
This time, only Jess understood Ling Yu's stalk, covered her mouth and laughed.
"Anyway, let's go to Moscow now, stay in Moscow for two days, and the news will come back from the secret service." Rianna finally summed up the next task, "If we are a qiē shun lì, we can do this without bloodshed." ”
"I hope things really go this way." But in the end, Ling Yu still shook his head.
No one believed that a qiē would really be so smooth.

"Sir, we will land at the airfield of the Lobnya barracks north of Moscow in twenty-five minutes."
The people who took off from Paris near noon arrived in Moscow at three o'clock in the afternoon, and about an hour or so were in a meeting to determine some details of the operation, unlike the previous dinner table, when Ling Yu and others set a general plan of action, Rena would send the plan of action to the CIC on the upper deck of the cabin, where the four excellent communications staff officers also have deep operational planning capabilities, they will further refine the plan, and at the same time submit the plan to Icarus, declare the equipment that is not on board, and other procedures.
For an ordinary squad, this plan may take one or two days, because the General Staff of Icarus will review the feasibility of the action plan again and consider the actions of other units, and if scarce equipment is needed, the process may be extended, but Ling Yu is now directly responsible to the president and Icarus, so the green light was given all the way, and in less than an hour, all the formalities have been completed, and the additional equipment needed has been transported to the Blonya Barracks.
Ling Yu finally checked the list, and then signed his name, and Ling Yu, who was finally able to sit down and rest for a while, had just returned to the rest area when Jiesi reached out and handed over a cup of tea.
"Your taste, less tea, boss."
"Thank you." Ling Yu took the teacup, the water temperature was just right, it wouldn't be too hot, "I'll be in Moscow soon." ”
"It's not Moscow, but I'd love to go to Red Square." Jesse raised her hand and pulled her hair away, revealing a slightly regretful expression.
"There will be a chance, next time, in fact, this season is not yet the time to have something to see." Ling Yu took out his mobile phone and looked at the date, it was already April 28th, his group had been tossing in Paris for half a month, he frowned, and then put the phone back, "I didn't expect that I would come back so soon." ”
"It's good to be back." Jesse turned, sat on the armrest of her chair, and spoke softly.
"Hmm."
Ling Yu nodded lightly.
Ten minutes later, the main landing gear of the transport plane crashed into Russian soil. (To be continued......)
