Chapter 116: Hearing is False, Seeing is Believing
Carter didn't expect Gauss to use his tongue in front of Taylor in order to achieve his goal, intending to divide the allies.
Whether as an SSR agent or as an Englishman, she certainly had reason to be angry.
Gauss came to his senses, smiled apologetically at Carter, and stopped talking about it.
However, Teller had clearly understood the meaning of his words.
Taylor did not express an opinion on Gauss's words, but got up and said: "Your Excellency Gauss, I'm sorry, at least I didn't get the relevant authorization from the High Command before coming to New York this time, so no matter whether the conditions you offer are reasonable or not, I can't discuss the ownership of those islands with Your Excellency, and I can only leave it for the next meeting." If there is a next time......"
As you can hear from the last sentence, Taylor clearly did not think it was necessary to meet with Gauss again.
Although in his opinion, those allies scattered on the islands in the ocean may not be impossible to trade, but Gauss's empty words about destroying Hydra as a bargaining chip are obviously far from enough.
Gauss had expected it, so he was not discouraged.
In this meeting, he just wanted to inform the other party of his own conditions, and by doing this, his intention had been achieved.
When it comes to territorial issues, it is bound to be a long-term game, and he can afford to wait, and he is not in a hurry at all.
As for the chips, although they are not enough now, when the news of the Hammer of War ferments, it will naturally be different.
After a few words on the scene, the two sides were about to end, but at this time, Taylor's adjutant Ralph hurriedly ran in.
With a few pages of papers in his hand and an incredulous expression on his face, Ralph pushed open the door, first gave Gauss a strange look, then ran to whisper to Taylor, and handed him the document in his hand.
Ralph's voice was small, but with Gauss's ear, he could hear it very well.
The reason why Ralph came in at this time turned out to be the amazing performance of the Hammer of War system, which finally spread from Stark Industries' weapons testing site, and not only caused a sensation among New York arms dealers at the first time, but also spread to SSR headquarters in due time.
Ralph learned that the system was related to Gauss, and immediately sent someone to Stark Industries to ask for test data.
It dawned on Gauss that it was no wonder that Ralph had that expression.
Although he doubted that the news was fermenting too quickly, when he thought of Howard, he already knew it in his heart.
The news can spread so quickly, there must be a credit to Howard, who must be secretly fueling the trouble.
If the news of the Warhammer system had been circulating normally, there should have been a few words about the Crimson Commander leaking out, but Gauss could tell that Ralph and Taylor did not mention the Crimson Commander at all when they whispered it.
This is clearly a deliberate attempt by Howard to conceal information about the Crimson Commander.
As a vice admiral, Taylor has extremely rich experience in warfare, so naturally he immediately realized the value of this War Hammer system as soon as he looked at those few pages of test materials. If the Allies had obtained this system, they would have been able to turn the tide of the war and defeat the Nazis quickly.
He raised his head and looked at Gauss in disbelief, completely unexpectedly that this magician would also play with black technology.
It was only then that Taylor realized why Gauss was so emboldened that he dared to offer such conditions to the Allies.
"Your Excellency Gauss, if the Allies agree to your conditions, and you don't know about this War Hammer system, what are you going to do with it?"
Even if you can't negotiate a cooperation immediately, if you should ask clearly, Taylor naturally still has to ask clearly.
Although the schedule was ahead of schedule, Gauss had already planned, and he immediately said: "This system is not very advanced, but the cost is relatively low and more cost-effective." If the Allies are interested in working with me, in addition to helping the Allies eradicate Hydra once and for all, I will also send hundreds of more advanced systems into battle to help the Allies defeat the Nazis quickly. Of course, if the Allies don't want to fake it, then I can also provide the key components of this War Hammer system for free, and the Allies will assemble and produce it themselves......"
Taylor was just about to nod, but he came back to his senses and said in surprise: "I understand, it turns out that His Excellency Gauss is not a lone magician, but there is a huge group behind him, but I don't know this group, can Your Excellency understand and announce it?"
Gauss was secretly happy in his heart, and when he saw that Taylor finally asked about the news he wanted to take the initiative to disclose, he immediately used the pre-made rhetoric: "It's okay to announce it, but General Taylor is only afraid of misunderstanding, and the support behind me is not a group, but an ancient tribe." This tribe you can call 'Kunlun relics', it was formed by some remnants who flowed to the earth when the Kunlun world was destroyed thousands of years ago, and moved to the South Pole to reproduce, and I am the tribe of this tribe......"
Several people present looked at each other, all confused.
Gauss didn't explain much, he just wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and reveal one or two things about Antarctica, and it was not good to say too much.
Although Taylor didn't understand, as a vice admiral, he naturally knew something about Antarctica, so he questioned: "There are several expeditions in Antarctica, and as far as I know, it seems that Antarctica has never been inhabited." ”
Gauss muttered: "We have magical powers, but we are not ordinary tribes, as soon as those expeditions enter the South Pole, they are monitored by us, if we don't want to contact them, even if they stay in the South Pole for a lifetime, they will not be able to find us." What's more, we mainly live under the ice, and even if there are buildings that penetrate the ice and show up on the ice, there are also enchantments laid out without exception, which you ordinary people can't see through. ”
Carter was skeptical: "Gao, is this true?"
Without saying a word, Gauss opened the portal to Bai Yujing on the spot.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and if you don't believe it, you can take a look. ”
Carter hesitated for a moment when he entered the portal.
Lieutenant General Taylor, SSR Chief, and Adjutant Ralph, De Gauss signaled, and followed in with a curious expression.
A few people crossed the portal and came to Bai Yujing's city wall.
This section of the ice-solid wall, located between two ravines, is located in a low position, and has been chosen by Gost.
Looking out, although the field of vision is broad, but looking back at Bai Yujing, the line of sight will be blocked a lot.
Especially now, when it coincides with the polar night in Antarctica.
The four of Carter walked out of the teleportation light gate, and immediately saw that under the background of the polar night and the aurora, a thin curtain of light sprinkled boundless clear light, enveloping a city on a mountain like jade, and they immediately felt an indescribable shock!
"Miracle! This is a miracle!" said the SSR Chief's face with a look of obsession.
Gauss said softly: "This is Bai Yujing, the head of the five main cities......"
Looking at Bai Yujing from afar, the city is not empty, not only are the lights of thousands of homes flickering, but you can also faintly hear human voices.
Carter and the others feasted their eyes and wanted to observe Bai Yujing carefully, but they didn't expect that at this time, several figures appeared in the distance.
Gauss knew the opportunity, and hurriedly urged: "We have to go, I didn't know anything, so I brought outsiders over, which is not allowed." ”
As he spoke, he had already opened the portal.
Although Carter and the others were reluctant to give up, they still crossed the light gate under the urging of Gauss.
As soon as they left, Gauss gestured to the figures from a distance, and then disappeared.
Immediately after, Bai Yujing's lights went out as much as ninety percent in an instant.
Needless to say, this is naturally all a trick arranged by Gauss.
He used the mounts with the morphing glyphs to play an empty city in front of Carter and the others.
Back in the SSR, Carter, Taylor, SSR Chief, and Ralph were in a mood that calmed down for a long time.
Gauss took the opportunity to say: "Although our tribe lives in Antarctica, has created a vast living space under the ice, and has built five main cities one after another, the environment in Antarctica is not suitable for ordinary people. Those ordinary people who don't understand magic, we can neither abandon them, nor allow them to enter various countries and impact the governance order of human society, so that the most suitable places to place them are naturally only some islands far away from the mainland. ”
Carter suddenly realized: "No wonder you put forward such a condition. ”
Taylor was suspicious at this time, and no longer thought that Gauss was trying to seek benefits for other countries, so he said: "Your Excellency Gauss, I will truthfully report the situation of this meeting to the High Command, and I believe that the High Command will seriously consider your proposal." Personally, of course, I think that the sooner the Nazis are defeated, the better, and if just a few islands can quickly end this tragic war and reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties among the Allies, then there is certainly nothing to hesitate about. ”
Carter's face changed when he heard this, and his mouth opened, but he still didn't say anything.
