Chapter 507: Battle of Two Thousand Thaumaturgists (2)
We sat and stood silently for a long time, and no one said anything.
"In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Mengde's 800,000 troops were deployed across the river, overwhelming the sky and overwhelming. Soochow has nothing to do, the main battle faction is weak, the main surrender faction is strong, and the government and the opposition are full of lamentation. If we were born at that time, war or surrender, content with the status quo or aggressive? History is always a terrible cycle, and the problems of that time are now before us, and the wise men who were able to solve them at that time were not reincarnated. Although there are many talents under my command, who can be called the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou? No, no, no......" Mrs. Hong lamented again.
During the Three Kingdoms, wise men emerged one after another, but they were overshadowed by the three mountains of Zhuge Wuhou, Zhou Gongjin, and Sima Zhongda.
In the battle of Chibi, there is nothing wrong with the main battle and the main surrender, just look at their respective positions.
"If I were born in Chibi, I would fight, even if I hit a stone with an egg, I would fight to the death. The boy was born in the world, and he wanted to cheer up his heroic spirit, become famous through the ages, and set up a statue of a great man who was immortal through the ages. Otherwise, what is the difference between a hundred years of mediocrity in life and not living at all?" I replied.
If Madame Hong is willing to give up that seat, I will definitely be able to take on the great task of leading a thousand Chinese thaumaturgists to the East China Sea.
"Impulsiveness is not necessarily right. Mrs. Hong shook her head.
"Madame's words are wrong, if there was no Nanhu cruise for a while, there was no battle of Jinggangshan, there was no establishment of a small county town in the northwest, and there was no great man to raise his arms...... If everyone is content with the status quo and seeks stability and perfection, then who will overthrow the old system and trample all the ghosts and spirits under their feet? Today's war is imperative. If Madame can't make a decision, then I'll simply join Jiali's side, not representing any country, just to fight for the killing of the Lord of the Sharks. I said.
Mrs. Hong smiled: "Mr. Xia, I guess this is exactly what Jiali can't ask for." Thinking about it a little deeper, she induced you to come back and spread the word, which was to force the palace to the dragon group. You departed in anger, falling for the enemy's tricks. ”
I believe that this possibility also exists.
It's just that even if I defected to Carrie and played for the Americans, I was willing. If Jiali's side is cowardly, then the lord of the merman will quickly grow and become a global disaster.
"Okay, that's my own choice, I can't complain about others, and others can't interfere. Madam, I'm not a member of the Dragon Group, I'm a free body, so I don't bother Madame about what kind of path I'm taking at the moment. I said resolutely.
I turned and walked out, and as soon as I reached the door, the door opened from the outside, and five short spears pointed at me in the shape of plum blossoms.
"What do you mean, ma'am?" I asked.
Shang Que, who was standing behind the five gunmen, sneered loudly: "Without Madame's order, can you go?"
I didn't retreat, there was only darkness inside the house, and light outside the door. If I go back, it will be tantamount to re-succumbing to Lady Hong and the Ryugumi, and losing my faith.
"Shang Que, do you know what mistake you have made? With your intelligence, you can neither rise to succeed Madame Hong and become a big man, nor are you willing to retire and become a small person and lose your current position. Over time, you were the first to develop a rebellious heart. Mrs. Hong is aware of everything, as long as you have any changes, it is a dead end. In the eyes of all the big guys, you have become the weakest link of the dragon group, and the enemy can easily break through. Guess how long you can hold out when the situation is so obvious?" I reminded Shang Que through the gunman.
The wise men of the world have the same understanding of world affairs, and I can point this out, and I believe that Mrs. Hong will also see it the same way. Even as for it, Jiali and the lord of the merman will also see it this way, and regard Shang Que as a key point to turn the situation around.
The rafters that came out of the first rot first, and Shang Que is undoubtedly the rafters that have already shown their heads, and they can't even ask for the wealth that the little people deserve, they are abrupt and towering, and the death period is not far away.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shang Que shouted angrily.
"Your time of death has come. I replied.
Based on his IQ and EQ, his lucky promotion to Mrs. Hong is already the result of green smoke in the ancestral grave. If you continue to keep a low profile, you may be able to get out of the way with your whole body, like most idlers in government agencies. It's a pity that he wanted to show himself too much, especially in front of me. As a result, the great crisis that existed in his life was triggered, and it was rare to have a good end.
"Tell Madame, what did the Lord of the Shark promise to give you? What did Jiali say to you? Of course, you are theoretically the head of the Dragon Group, and all the forces in the rivers and lakes must be respectful to you, and filial piety during the New Year's holidays is inevitable. As a middle-level member of the dragon group, you have already committed a big taboo by accepting bribes without permission...... "Every time I say a word, Shang Que's face becomes a layer darker, first turning into the color of pig liver, and finally becoming like the bottom of a black pot.
I'm just analyzing the facts, and nine times out of ten people in high positions are corrupt, but the degree is different.
"Shang Que, what Mr. Xia said, are you convinced?" Mrs. Hong walked behind me and asked in a deep voice.
"Madam, this is slander, *naked slander!" Shang Que shouted.
Mrs. Hong waved and the five gunmen retreated.
Shang Que's hand was already in his pocket and he held the weapon.
"Do you still want to defend yourself?" Mrs. Hong asked lightly, "There are some things that God knows and you know, but the walls have ears, especially since we live in an era where thaumaturgists are rampant, and what you think is a seamless plan and secret is, in the eyes of many thaumaturgists, nothing more than a small skill of carving insects." Therefore, if you have done something, try to get rid of the involvement, stop the precipice in time, and don't get lost. ”
Shang Que was confused, and suddenly drew his gun, one gun aimed at his chest, and the other against his chin.
If he chooses to commit suicide, it is probably the most appropriate thing to do. Whatever crime he committed, it ended automatically after the gunshots rang out.
"Well, it looks like I don't have to say anything more. Mrs. Hong said.
"Madame, take care, thank you for your repeated support. The seat of the head of the dragon group is not easy to sit in, and the enemy and his own people look at this seat. Madam, if you have the opportunity, you should return to the forest as soon as possible and hide from the world, so that you can grow old safely. I don't have confidence in the dragon group anymore, if you see the ability of the merman master, you will automatically surrender, and you don't dare to use the mantis arm as a car anymore. Madam, when I am dying, I would like to advise you again, do not try to resist the Lord of the Sharks, the destruction of mankind is inevitable, and the future of this planet must belong to the Lord of the Sharks. We're here to figure out how to deal with him, and he already knows it. The world has a water source, as long as there is a drop of water or even a water molecule in the air, he can see the situation here with his own eyes. Like now, like now......" Shang Que swept to the side and retreated to the left.
I followed up in time, grabbed the front, and blocked Mrs. Hong behind.
On the left side of the door, there is a water bowl composed of a lotus, a water wheel, and an angler, which is about two meters high, and when the waterwheel turns, the water pours down from a height of one and a half meters and falls in a small water bowl in front of the fisherman.
Shang Que lowered his right hand, scooped water in the water bowl, and sprinkled it on the ground.
"In this way, the Lord of the Sharks will be able to see this place and control everything!" he howled.
The gunmen just watched with guns, and no one would shoot and kill without Mrs. Hong's order.
Droplets of water rolled on the ground like transparent pearls.
I don't know what about others, and at that moment, I saw a person's face in the droplets. To be precise, I saw the man's hateful eyes.
Hatred is an emotion that comes in different degrees of light, medium, and severe. If it is only the anger of the puppet caused by small things, then its hatred will only float on the surface, and it will only disappear in three or five days at most.
Now, what I see is a deep, indelible, and long-lasting hatred that is immortal with the sun and the moon. I believe that the owner of the eye must have experienced inhuman torture before he will hide his hatred deep in his heart, never say it, and keep it forever until the object of hatred is broken into pieces. Even so, his hatred will not disappear, and it will only officially end when he is also dead and turned into ashes.
Since Shang Que said that the lord of the merman saw us from the water droplet, then I can also conclude that the one who appeared in the water bead must be the lord of the merman.
"What will happen if he sees it?" asked Mrs. Hong.
"He will kill you all, and he will kill them all, and he will not leave you alive. He will also kill all mankind, turn the earth into ruins, and then the tide will come and turn the earth into a water world, into a merman paradise ruled by the water tribe!" Shang Que replied.
This answer was absurd, but neither Mrs. Hong nor I could laugh.
"You should know where he is, right?" asked Mrs. Hong again.
Shang Que shouted: "He is everywhere, he has tens of millions, and he is likely to be around us-"
Mrs. Hong scolded: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I remember that you have made meritorious contributions to the Dragon Group in the past, and I forgive you this time." Now, put down the gun, go back to your room and take a cold shower, sober up, and come back to see me. ”
Shang Que laughed wildly: "Forgive me? I don't want anyone's forgiveness." Now, I'm going to die, what else is there to forgive? You don't know, at this time, there is still the right to choose suicide, and when the Lord of the Shark comes, even death will become a luxury......"
He didn't know where he was lost, but he pulled the trigger heavily, and shot it all in succession*, shooting all twenty bullets into his body, and his death was horrible and terrible.
Mrs. Hong couldn't bear to look at it, turned her face away, waved her hand and ordered: "Bury him, he is still our good comrade." ”
was stirred up by Shang Que, and the mustard between me and Mrs. Hong also disappeared.
"I'll call you when I think about it for a long time and come to a conclusion. Now, go find a room to rest, the whole floor has been chartered by us, more than 70 rooms, choose at will. Mrs. Hong said.
I'm running out of words for her, and I can't say anything newer. Therefore, going to rest at this moment is also the right and helpless choice.
Just as I was about to leave, Mrs. Hong stopped me again: "Mr. Xia, don't contact Jiali from now until I draw conclusions. Stepping on two boats and two walls isn't what smart people do, right?"
I thought about it seriously and replied affirmatively: "Madame is right, Shang Que is my example. Until you make a decision, I'll be honest in my room and won't make any mistakes. ”
Guided by the hotel waiter, I entered room 18.
Mrs. Hong was right, I had just washed my face when the phone rang in my room.
As I thought, it was Karrie who called.
"I'm next door, can we meet?" asked Carrie.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Has the waiter been bought?
"Yes. Carrie laughed heartily, "Money can be a god, as long as you are willing to pay a lot of money, even if you want the moon and stars in the sky, someone will build a ladder to help you pick them." ”
I didn't have any secrets, so I directly singled out: "Miss Carrie, Mrs. Hong warned me not to have private contact with you. It's a sensitive time, and everyone has to be more restrained, right?"
Anyway, I'm Chinese, so it's best to stand by Mrs. Hong and wait for her to make the right decision. No matter how generous the conditions Jiali gave me, I would put her behind Mrs. Hong as a second choice.
"Mr. Xia, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, it is not a bad thing to know more. If you agree to meet, I'll tell you a big secret that might save your life!" said Carrie.
I could only agree, put down the phone, and walked over to open the door.
Carrie moved very quickly, and when the door opened, she was already standing outside with a smile on her face, carrying a bottle of red wine in her left hand and two crystal goblets in her right hand.
I shook my head, and couldn't find a reason to refuse, so I stepped aside and asked her in.
"What's the matter, how can you save my life?" asked hurriedly, without waiting for her to sit down.
She uncorked the wine bottle, poured two glasses of wine, and walked over to me.
"Give me a minute, taste this good glass of wine, and then explain slowly. She said.
The wine is a good wine, slightly sweet in the throat, and has a long stamina, so it must be a big-name treasure abroad.
"There are * in the building, and seventy-five have been proven, from the negative three floors to the top floor. In addition, my people have also found phosphating*, and have found twenty-five for the time being, and I believe that there is more to it. *Explosion, simultaneous detonation*, so that not a single survivor can be found in the building, either directly from the explosion or from the fire. Do not doubt that these sensational words are all true, and not a single word is false. Mr. Xia, think about it, who wants us to die, and in such a vicious way?" asked Karry.
The consequences of so many *,* are indeed terrifying, enough to raze half of the mountains to the ground and change the appearance of Thousand Buddha Mountain.
"If that's the case, why don't Miss Carrie leave quickly?" I asked.
Carrie shook his glass, his eyes deep, staring straight at me: "I am not afraid of death, and my people will never retreat in the face of danger." Now, I only have pity on Mr. Xia, who is harmless to anyone, but he has been drawn into a great war. I am sure that if Mr. Xia can change his course and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he will definitely be reused and become a star figure under the command of the Pentagon. Although I don't know what Mr. Xia thinks in his heart, I still vaguely feel that you are not having a good time in the mainland and have not played the core role of your due value. We are old rivals with the Dragon Group, and we know the promotion system of the Dragon Group well, and you are here, and in the end, you are just a small boss, and you can't get ahead. How about Mr. Xia, come with me?"
I am not a member of the dragon group, and Mrs. Hung is just a fellow traveler to me, and I may not even be a friend.
Jiali said a lot, an institution like the Dragon Group is highly hierarchical, and if there is no special contribution, if you are promoted from a small soldier, it will be impossible to reach the top for the rest of your life, just like Shang Que.
Shang Que wanted to succeed so much that he struggled and went to the wrong path, and finally fell into disrepute.
I am not a businessman, my ambition is not so big, what I think and think is just my duty for the country and the people.
"Miss Carrie, your words have been tempting too much, but they have had a negative effect, and I dare not follow them. I said.
If there is only good and no harm in a thing, then it will be both like a pie and a trap. Smart people will deliberately avoid it, so as not to eat the pie, but fall into the trap and become a laughing stock in the rivers and lakes.
Jiali took a step back and responded: "Mr. Xia, I will never be harmless. ”
Once this blonde beauty became serious, there was no trace of a smile on her face, only a stereotypical look of business.
"Excuse me, Miss Carrie. Mrs. Hong said that the decision must be made after careful consideration, and I am waiting for her final news. Whether it will be a decisive battle or an evasion, I am not sure at the moment. I said.
Jiali nodded slowly: "This is a difficult thing to decide, and when I decided to go to war against the Lord of the Sharks, I also couldn't sleep at night. I understand Mrs. Hong's situation, and if she is in her position, she must seek her own government, otherwise she will waste the trust of the country and the people. Looks like we're going to have to wait. If Mr. Xia has spirit, I also have some small programs to pass the time, and I would like to share them with Mr. Xia-"
The waiting time was the most painful, and Carrie's "little show" was very useful to me, so I quickly got into it and forgot about Mrs. Hong for a while.
Karrie took out a tablet and showed me secret information from the 51 region. For most people, these are "secrets", but for Karry, they are commonplace, and there are no secrets.
In the first, she shows several famous naval battles that took place around the Pacific Ocean during World War II. In a large number of black and white pictures, the photographer captured the real situation of the mermaids participating in the war.
If you just look through the history books and picture books in the library, you won't find these strange events at all. History is written by the winners, and the winners do not want the people to know this, there may be a thousand or ten thousand reasons, but this is the real situation, but it is just covered up by people with ulterior motives.
Everyone in the world knows about the Pearl Harbor incident, and they also know that it was the Battle of Waterloo for the US Navy, which suffered so much damage and humiliation that it was the most terrifying since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In many espionage materials, it has been mentioned that before the incident, American spies did get a secret report, believing that the Japanese were likely to launch suicide air raids, and it was necessary to carry out targeted control. Looking at the military strength of the United States at that time, the technical capabilities of anti-aircraft artillery, carrier-based aircraft, radar scanning and other capabilities far surpassed Japan, and as long as they were prepared, the Japanese air raids would really become a "suicide game" in the Pacific Ocean. As a result, Pearl Harbor became the graveyard of the U.S. Navy, which was beaten unilaterally and suffered heavy casualties.
If it weren't for the mermaids participating in the war, the outcome of the battle would have been different, and Pearl Harbor would have become a disgrace for Japan and a great victory for the U.S. military, making history overturned and rewritten. It was precisely because the mermaids infiltrated Pearl Harbor, destroyed the defenses, and assassinated as many as 200 U.S. Navy commanders of all ranks that the Pearl Harbor incident was finally decimated.
"This is the world's most common historical archive, but in the 51 region researcher system, this is the most common information. The main function of the system is to extract valuable information from historical doubts, and summarize it into a system report, which will be sent directly to the Pentagon's strategic secret service chief, who will decide whether to follow up on it. In order to study the Lord of the Sharks, I have read and memorized more than a thousand similar materials. Now it seems that the battle between the mermen and the American army has been started since World War II. Carrie said.
The battle in which the US forces attacked Japanese territory from the sea was very brutal, and the famous battle of the island has become a typical example of attacking fortified positions at sea.
In the materials I subsequently reviewed, I also saw photos of mermaids participating in the war, lurking on the beachhead, and assassinating American soldiers in the half-sea and half-land area.
Behind every extraordinary incident, there was a figure of mermaids "making trouble", and the result was very favorable to Japan, greatly delaying the time for the emperor's surrender. If these unexpected factors were excluded, the fascist plaster flag would have fallen in Tokyo Bay as early as the spring of 1945.
In the island battle, the U.S. troops who landed on their backs were exposed to the enemy, with machine gun fire from Japanese bunkers in front and mermaids fishing in troubled waters in the back.
"It turns out that the mermaids are allies of the Japanese - perhaps, their relationship is like a vine entwining a tree, a tree hanging a vine, and their lips and teeth are intertwined, and their lips and teeth are cold, so they must disagree with the enemy and unite with the outside world. At that time, if it were not for the iron fist of the powerful US Navy, it would probably have become unknown whether Japan would have surrendered or not!" I sighed deeply.
In World War II, the U.S. military bravely attacked on various battlefields in Europe and Asia, and it was only then that the good dreams of the Axis of Evil were shattered. The people of the world should be grateful to the current US government at that time, which indeed set the best example for the global fight against fascist aggression.
On the other hand, the political consciousness and humanistic qualities of the post-Cold War US administrations have greatly deteriorated, turning the powerful United States of America into a selfish and self-serving small country that has lowered its identity and competed with other small countries for profit. This kind of change is really despicable. Moreover, the dispute between the two houses has also become a ridicule of political opponents, like a farce.
"I have to say that the great man of your country is far-sighted and has long seen the problems at sea. Karrie also sighed.
In the following document, she was devoted to this issue.
Great men have an extraordinary vision to overlook the world and play with the world, which is not something that my generation can comment on. I looked through the documents and saw countless reports from the coastal defense department, all of which were urgent telegrams from the navy of the old government, reporting the anomalies along China's coastline from 1930 to 1945. The generals in the old government were not all wine bags and rice bags, and one of the generals surnamed Hu linked these anomalies to the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War.
The disastrous defeat in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle was not because the ships and turrets were inferior to the enemy, but because there were too many unfavorable factors hidden in the sea, including Deng Shichang's last "collision with the ship", or it may have failed due to the sabotage of the merman.
Around 1900, photography technology was not developed enough, and the data could only simulate the battle at that time in the form of textual deductions. * It can destroy Deng Shichang's car in a small area, but it is not enough to destroy a sturdy warship. The only explanation is that the mermaid sabotaged the propulsion wheels, causing the ship to lose forward momentum and then quickly scuttle.
The old government's failure to develop the navy on a large scale was a strange thing in World War II, which was tantamount to abandoning thousands of kilometers of coastline from the Yalu River to the Xiangjiang River in the north and south of the mainland, which was unthinkable on the map of war. It can be seen from this that the admirals realized that the sea frontier could not be defended, and had already written to the head of the old government, and took the initiative to abandon the battlefield and retreat to Chengdu, Chongqing and other inland areas far away from the East China Sea.
