“…… Obviously, judging from the news released so far, this is definitely a conspiracy of the main battle faction of the alliance! Why has most of the cabinet made up of the main war faction been successfully rescued, while the parliament, which has always opposed the all-out war, has suffered heavy casualties! It's because the League wants to get rid of the anti-war legislators with the help of the ACA! We and ACA are children of the earth! There is no contradiction that we can't solve! Against the war! Don't send you to death for the selfish desires of politicians! ”

"GA33 take off quickly! Get out of the 6th apron and immediately! Right away!! ”

The air traffic control of the helipad tower shouted hoarsely, if the layman came to see it, Strasbourg must have been in a mess.

This military base west of Washington was originally only a second-class base, and it was abandoned for a time, so although there were a lot of supplies stored, the overall infrastructure was stretched thin in the face of the influx of troops.

This is also the reason why Yang Chengze did not set up his headquarters in Strasbourg, as a second-line base, it could not support the command system needed to command a campaign, and could only be stored as an outpost.

Therefore, just by accommodating the vanguard and reconnaissance units of several large units, Strasbourg has almost reached the limit of its carrying capacity.

The GA33 "Exocet" tilt-rotary-wing electronic warfare/reconnaissance aircraft slowly climbed up with its two pairs of four engines, and then adjusted its direction and flew towards Washington at a relatively low altitude.

"Air Force Two. This is Strasbourg, the airspace has been cleared, can you go straight in, can you land on the sixth tarmac? ”

Since it was not known whether Ling Yu's helicopter was injured or not, the air traffic control concisely cleared out one of the tarmacs closest to Ling Yu's direction, on the other hand. Considering that Ling Yu and Herris were not professional pilots, the tower did not use awkward terminology to command, but used the simplest method to convey information.

"Strasbourg, this is Air Force Two, received, landed on the sixth-tarmac."

Air Force Two, the call sign of the president's helicopter, is the same practice as the United States, where all planes the president flies are called Air Force One, because the Allied Marine Corps is not an independent service. Therefore, there is no such thing as Marine One, so the other aircraft that the president flew in were called "Air Force Two". [Note 1]

Ling Yu raised his hand to take off the headset, sitting in the second row, his feet had already formed a small pool of water with his own blood, and the wound caused by Byron Sue still kept bleeding, making Ling Yu's lips look a little pale.

It's coming soon, hold on.

Helis's relief appeared on Ling Yu's contact lenses, and Ling Yu didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

On the way, Ling Yu passed through Guò Han Fei for a transfer. reported to Yang Chengze on the completion of the mission, and on the one hand, Linya and Logan also successfully withdrew to Strasbourg with Han Fei. On the other hand, Yang Songze also made the necessary arrangements.

In order to avoid accidents, Strasbourg cut the approach and take-off of all other aircraft and cleared the airspace to make way for the rental helicopter carrying the president.

Ling Yu turned his head to look out the window, the gray concrete floor was illuminated by a large number of fluorescent lamps more clearly than in the daytime, because he knew that the president was injured. An armored ambulance with a red cross painted on the roof of the car was also parked nearby, and the gendarmes ran to fence off the entire helipad No. 6, not afraid that the plane would crash into the crowd.

Herris pulled the joystick and slowly but steadily parked the helicopter on the platform, the skid just hitting the ground. Deputy Captain Martin, who had been prepared, nodded at Ling Yu, opened the hatch and jumped out, turned around and took the stretcher he found from Reagan Airport, and pulled the president wearing an ACA soldier's uniform on a stretcher with another surviving agent and off the plane.

A crowd of security guards and medical personnel swarmed up the president and loaded him onto an armoured medical vehicle, while the gendarmerie van, which had been waiting nearby, turned on its horn and roared out of a road to take the president to the nearby medical center.

In fact, the president's injuries were not serious, even for an old man who was almost sixty years old, the bullet penetrated and did not hurt any organs, but it was only because the agents of the Secret Service carrying first-aid kits also defected together that they almost died of excessive blood loss.

Of course, after all, it is the president, and for the sake of morale and authority, the great waste of manpower and material resources has become reasonable, Ling Yu looked at this qiē with great interest, and smacked his lips gently.

Humanity itself is inherently unequal anyway.

"Bell, bell, bell—"

Suddenly, the glass on the side of the helicopter Ling Yu was knocked, Ling Yu turned his head and found several officers and staff officers wearing army uniforms standing outside the door, Ling Yu noticed that their armbands belonged to the Ottawa Command, and probably guessed their intentions.

"Major Ling Yu, we have arranged medical assistance for you here."

Ling Yu pushed open the door of the plane, and the lieutenant colonel staff officer led by him gave a military salute, and then glanced at Helis who was standing next to him - this girl didn't know when to run down, but she was obviously looking for medical help for herself.

In fact, the reason why Ling Yu didn't get off the plane was also very simple, now the core of the entire base must be the president, and jumping off with such a big soldier as he was unfamiliar with life was just a waste of effort.

On the other hand, he can understand Yang Chengze, and Yang Chengze must be more concerned about a big soldier like himself than the president, so there is no need to rush to grab attention with the president, and lose the face of the savior.

"Well, thank you, but we won't take up precious medical power, just use your medical equipment." Ling Yu jumped off the plane with a little difficulty, and returned a military salute, even if it was TF, the blood loss of more than twenty minutes still made him feel a little vague, Ling Yu glanced at Herris, and then made a request, "I want to contact General Yang Chengze." ”

"No problem. You treat the wound first, we have a special communication line that can help you get to General Yang Chengze. ”

The lieutenant colonel nodded, got out of the way, made a gesture of please, and pointed to a medical jeep next to him.

***

Ling Yu turned on his portable radio device. Sitting in a chair, Strasbourg's electromagnetic environment is relatively good, and it no longer has to rely on high-power quantum communication devices.

Helis behind the young man was wrapping a bandage around his back, he had just undergone Helis's laser cautery and excision, and this was not the first time Helis had helped Ling Yu clean up the Byrensine.

Ling Yu was holding a cup of the "Special Physiological Index Recovery Liquid" that Herris had prepared for him, according to Herris, this carefully concocted energy drink had twenty-five times the ability to recover fù than the Alliance-based energy bar, not to mention whether it could be absorbed, it was even more bitter than traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, the liquid that emits an indescribable smell of corpses cannot relieve mental stress at all.

But Ling Yu couldn't refuse, and seemed to guess that he would object to the taste of this thing, Helis himself drank a glass in front of him, and tilted the cup over to Ling Yu like a toast to show the white bottom of the cup.

Are your taste buds made of something weird? Obviously, when you eat, your mouth is going to die, and the delicious food is swept into the plate and stuffed into your mouth in the blink of an eye.

Ling Yu sighed, took a deep breath, and drank the contents of the cup with the courage of facing Char, and then forcibly endured the terrifying vomiting sensation. Taking a few big breaths, he took the hot chocolate that Helis had set aside on the table. At the risk of getting his tongue burned, he poured a few gulps before he didn't spit it out.

"Whew-"

Ling Yu let out a long breath and turned his head to look at Helis, who had just finished bandaging and was learning to tie the bandage into a bow after seeing Ling Yu's face and expression, Helis subconsciously turned his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

You're just laughing!

"I knew it. You won't let me down. ”

Just when Ling Yu was thinking about whether to punish this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, Yang Chengze's excited tone came out of the communication device, Ling Yu turned his head, looked at Yang Chengze, and gave a military salute.

"General."

Yang Chengze apparently didn't sleep all night. The heavy dark circles under his eyes couldn't hide the excitement on his face, the general raised his head and returned a military salute to himself, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

"Don't give me this set, you're not a soldier in your bones." Yang Chengze shook his hand, and then smiled secretly, "I'll give you a thorough understanding too, fortunately, you moved big enough to attract the main TFs of the ACA to Reagan Airport, so that the commandos in my hands have a chance to rescue most of the other cabinet members." ”

No wonder he didn't have the strength to reinforce himself, it turned out that he was using the president as bait, Ling Yu was silent for a moment, and then nodded, I have to say that Yang Chengze is really good at doing things, on the one hand, the main goal of the ACA must be on the president, on the other hand, if the president really can't save it, then save the strong "war cabinet" of the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Minister of Finance, and then support the vice president above Icarus, It is possible to use the cabinet to restrain the vice-president who has no foundation, and basically the situation can still be completely controlled.

This old fox is actually no worse than any politician, and it is really difficult for Yang Chengze to not want to establish a military government for so many years.

Of course, the establishment of a military government is not something that can be done with political skills.

"You can sue me." Ling Yu shook his head slightly, "In this case, the movement on the president's side will be even greater." ”

"Don't be too arrogant, boy," Yang Chengze shook his head, "I heard that you almost couldn't withdraw, I can't bear to let you get trapped in Washington, and besides, those Secret Service people were present when you were communicating at the time, how can I explain this to you?" ”

"Uh...... It was indeed my problem. "It stands to reason that Ling Yu's contact with Yang Chengze should be secret, but at that time, in order to prove his identity and boost his morale, he turned on an amplifier.

"What about the councillors" In short, with a good result, Ling Yu naturally no longer dwelled on the previous question, but was silent for a while and asked questions.

"About two-thirds of them escaped, and some of them were not caught and were in hiding." Yang Song-taek shook his head gently, "The ACA has executed twenty-five parliamentarians they caught, these councillors come from all over the world, we have received many inquiries from the local governments of the member countries, and now the situation is not very good, and we must avoid further deterioration." ”

"The Prism Squad is on standby, sir," Ling Yu nodded, but immediately added, "However, I think that the ACA's target may not be just Washington, or the members of the Coalition, they will most likely have a bigger goal." ”

"I want to hear your judgment." Yang Chengze smiled meaningfully, Ling Yu naturally knew that he understood everything, if Yang Chengze didn't understand, it would be ridiculous.

Note 1: Strictly speaking, a helicopter is not an "airplane", but an aircraft. The definition of an aircraft is limited to three conditions: having a fixed wing, propulsion under the power of the engines themselves (there is no limit to the number of engines), and being denser than air. An aerospace aircraft or space fighter that meets these three conditions is also an aircraft. Everything else is called an aircraft, a spacecraft, and so on. (To be continued......)
