Chapter Twenty-Six: Saving Lives and Giving Lives

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Alliance's star exploration program has stalled again, and the Alliance Space Agency said that the annual work in 2178 will still focus on the basic design of the Babel Tower and the lunar base, and the extragalactic exploration will be limited to the launch of unmanned probes. In addition, an unnamed NASA official said that the biggest obstacle to the alliance actually comes from the Privy Cavalry, and that countless diplomatic documents are the biggest obstacle for humanity to get out of the earth today."

"I have a bad premonition," Ling Yu raised his hand and scratched his head, his hair that had just been combed was messy again, "Don't sue me, we were involved in something." ”

"Unfortunately, exactly, boss." It's a pity that Jiesi, who smiled bitterly, didn't give Ling Yu the answer he wanted.

"Well, I'm ready to listen to the story." Ling Yu stretched out his hand and made a downward motion, he took a step forward, looked at the bed that once belonged to him and the neatly folded quilt at the head of the bed, turned around and walked to the side, pulled a chair and sat down, "I hope you can give me a good explanation and let me forgive you for turning my room into the intelligence analysis department of the Secret Service." ”

"This explanation may not be good, but you will definitely forgive me."

Jeunsy turned around and picked up the computer on the table and turned on the stereoscopic projection mode.

"I'll start with the chronology, I remember Anderson saying that this chip is important for both sides -- and that's obvious, otherwise the Allies wouldn't have made a big effort to launch an airstrike on the Eastern Front, and the ACA wouldn't have destroyed the chip until the end."

"So what?" Ling Yu nodded.

"So I copied the chip and tried to hack it, and that's part of the information that I cracked."

Jiesi slid her fingers and pushed some incomplete information in front of Ling Yu, Ling Yu's brows slowly furrowed - although he had left the army early and had a great sense of distrust of the alliance, the minimum military knowledge and battlefield sense still existed, and he soon understood the reason for Jiesi's nervousness.

"To put it simply, from the fragmented information so far, we can be sure of at least three pieces of information," Jess continued her statement, "The ACA is planning a large-scale irregular attack, and they will be committing a large number of TF commandos to this attack, of course, we all know that the TF cannot influence the situation on the battlefield on the frontal battlefield, so it is likely that from the beginning, the ACA's goal was not the frontal battlefield. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Go on. ”

Ling Yu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with the other party's point of view,

"And this is not a stand-alone attack, but a systematic chain of attacks, at least we can now determine that there will be a massive attack on several major cities, including intelligence used to confuse us, in addition to four possible maritime cities."

Jesse sorted out all the information, paused, and made a final summary, "This will be a large-scale, serial terrorist attack against civilians, and this may be the beginning of a large-scale counteroffensive. ”

"But now that the alliance has obtained the chip, knowing these contents, our work has been completed," Ling Yu shook his head, "They have a complete decoding device, and they can obtain all the information in the chip, and it is not our turn to worry." ”

"That's exactly what worries me the most." Jesse frowned, "It's been almost half a month, and the alliance hasn't made any moves." ”

"How can we possibly know what the big man has arranged above." Ling Yu stretched his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "Besides, maybe the attack was early, or the ACA changed its battle plan because of the loss of chips and was worried about intelligence leakage, and a similar incident also happened in Western Europe in 1940, the Mecklin incident." (Note 1). ”

"I know what you mean, but it doesn't make sense." Jess held the computer in one hand and her chin in the other, and spoke while thinking, "TF raids are different from general strategic intelligence, this kind of strategic intelligence must follow the principle of 'presumption of danger', that is, if there is no credible evidence that this is tactical deception, it must be taken seriously, and even if it is tactical deception, you must beware of the other party's fake tricks, after all, if a TF team infiltrates a big city, it will cause terrifying losses." ”

"I think the defensive countermeasures should have been formulated by the War Department, and I will find out with a phone call."

Ling Yu was silent for a moment, and accepted Jiesi's point of view, he turned around and prepared to make an encrypted call in the basement.

"You are not the only one who knows General Yang Chengze, I have already called the confidential telephone line of the Knights of GuΓ² Embassy, and I have been on the phone with General Yang Zecheng, and for half a month, he has not even received any warning from the Military Intelligence Agency."

Jiesi's words made Ling Yu raise his eyebrows, but then he returned to normal, and the young man turned around and spoke, "Hmm...... Not surprisingly, he was a sympathizer of the Order, and had always advocated that the Alliance and the Order should be a true alliance. ”

"You don't need to avoid anything, I know your special relationship with him, he was the one who finally rescued you on the 'Heisenberg' back then." Jeunse added, but Ling Yu waved her hand and motioned for Jeunse to stop here.

"Don't mention the past, let's get down to business, in short, do you think there are traitors at the top of the MIA?"

"I've been suspicious since Anderson went to South Africa in person," Jess sighed softly and put the computer back on the table, "If Anderson wasn't a traitor, he was aware of the problem as well." ”

"You say that, I also think of a little," Ling Yu stood up and recalled carefully, "Actually, I've always wondered why, in the end, when we have already sent the chip away, they still don't destroy this chip when they have absolutely no chance of retaking it, I thought it was chaos in the command system at first, but now that I think about it, if the ACA's command system was really that chaotic, the alliance would have unified the earth a long time ago." ”

"There are only two possible explanations, either that the attack was a decoy, or that they knew that in the worst-case scenario, it would be okay if the chip fell into the hands of the Secret Service."

Ling Yu slowly sorted out his thoughts, he began to accept Jiesi's worries little by little, paused slightly, and the black-clothed young man continued to speak.

"If it's the former, then regardless of whether the attack is a decoy or not, the Secret Service should step up its response, at least to verify the truth of this thing - it would be stupid for the ACA to even see through the bait plan at a glance, but not now, so it can only be the latter outcome."

"Considering that the alliance is actually a sieve, maybe there is a bigger ...... behind this Guy. ”

Ling Yu took a deep breath, as if frightened by the conspiracy network she had conceived, and Jeunse nodded and spoke, expressing her agreement.

"So no matter what, there's only one thing we can trust, and that's that we can't trust anyone."

"Isn't it okay for the Knights?"

Ling Yu looked at Jiesi a little inexplicably, but he immediately reacted, "Could it be that this is why you made this house like this." ”

"That's right," Jessie closed her eyes, "there is another piece of information in this chip, and that is that there is also a high-ranking spy within the Knights. ”

"It can't be you." Ling Yu smiled helplessly, took the chair and turned it around, turned the side of the backrest to Jiesi, straddled the chair, and held the backrest that was turned to the front with both hands.

"The spy is a person who stays in the Holy Land of Iceland all year round, and has frequent contact with the Ark," in the face of Ling Yu's joking question, Jiesi made a serious defense, "Therefore, Linya and I should not be suspicious." ”

"Is that your military attachΓ© friend...... In any case, it is also good to have one more reliable person. Ling Yu nodded.

"So, now it's up to us to continue the investigation, considering that maybe this maritime city is also one of the targets," Jess raised her hand to turn off the projection system on the table, the room was much empty, and the girl crossed her legs and sat on the table with her hands behind her back, "I don't think you'll sit idly by, boss." ”

"I think you overestimate me," Ling Yu, who was holding the hollow back of the chair, smiled bitterly, "There are a large number of people who can handle this matter, at least, I believe that Yang Chengze is the most unable to sit still." ”

"No way," Unexpectedly, Jess gave a "I guessed it would be like this" expression, she shook her head, turned around and turned the computer back on, this time without the messy data projection, just a photo.

"But there's one thing here, you can't stand idly by, and as your chief assistant, I need to inform you that the ACA has already issued a red on you, given your excellent performance in South Africa...... Well, that's right, it's seven zeros. ”

"I'm cāo-" Looking at the wanted notice on the photo, Ling Yu jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and without waiting for Ling Yu to react further, Jiesi smiled slightly, and chased after the victory, "Even if you don't want to save the world at all...... It's okay, but for your life and my work, boss, given the unsatisfactory performance you had in the face of the ACA's TF...... Shouldn't we talk about studying that teleportation pattern? ”

At that moment, Ling Yu seemed to see the girl's little tail flicking behind her.

He seemed to be led by the nose by the girl in front of him again.

Ling Yu was afraid of death.

Although everything he was doing at this moment was saving his own life, when Ling Yu put the gravity boot on his foot, he began to deeply doubt his original motives, because no matter how he looked at it, he was carrying out an activity that was purely death-sensing.

Is there anything more depressing in this world to send people to death in order to save their lives?

Jiesi's logic is very simple - someone wants to kill you, then make yourself stronger, the fastest way to become stronger in a short period of time is not to jump off the cliff and pray that you can find an ancient martial arts cheat or don't know that there is no expired Da Huan Dan to eat and become superhuman, but to try to explore the lines on your hands.

The question is, the universe is much more dangerous than jumping off a cliff, okay?!

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no better choice for him, and the ACA may send a killer to kill him at any time - even if this killer is not as good as Jiesi, but hiding behind a woman's back is something that Ling Yu's few self-esteem cannot tolerate.

In any case, at least let the ACA consider the cost of assassinating him, and as for preventing a large-scale terrorist attack, if he is still only at the level where he can't even defeat the snake eye in the end, then Ling Yu will not hesitate to stun Jesse and find a shelter to hide - although the technical details of how to stun Jess are still up for debate.

Thinking like this, Ling Yu felt a little guilty, in fact, there is never a right or wrong choice of life, all right and wrong are the excuses that human beings find for themselves, at this point Ling Yu calmly accepted the fact that he was just a layman, and then swept away the last guilt, raised his head, and took the breathing helmet from Jiesi's hand.

"So, dear Chief Knight, can't you give me a clear indication of where I'll be teleported to until the end?"

"Well, three possibilities."

Jessy's fingers jumped rapidly on the computer's keyboard, and the reborn electronic instrument that had been transformed by Jesse was rapidly analyzing the probabilities.

"It definitely won't be the crust or the inside of the core, you can rest assured, there may be no more than three left, the first is inside the atmosphere, and the second is outside the atmosphere, both of which you have enough means to deal with."

Ling Yu looked at the equipment on his body - a fully sealed pilot's suit commonly used by space shuttle pilots, a high-grade aerospace helmet that could breathe for three days and had a built-in simple quantum communication system, gravity boots that could adjust posture in weightlessness and could be attached to steel, and a paramotor for gliding in the atmosphere behind him.

"If it's outside the atmosphere, you find a way to adjust your posture, and if it's inside the atmosphere, you just land."

"What about the third scenario?"

"The third type is special," Jessie thought for a moment, "it's the deep sea, or in volcanic lava." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What if I am teleported to such a place? ”

"Don't do it, it's dead."

(Note 1: On January 10, 1940, the commander of the German Airborne Forces, Studenter, sent a staff officer of the 7th Airborne Division, Reinberg, carrying a "yellow plan" with a plan to invade the Three Low Countries written on it, from MΓΌnster to Cologne. Although Reinberg immediately burned the files, the Belgian soldiers snatched some of the fragments. Hitler was greatly annoyed when he heard this, and ordered the army chief of staff to draw up a new plan for attacking France. οΌ‰
