Chapter 549: Seeking Skin with the Tiger (1)
I left Tang Wan for a while and went to another deserted office.
Thomas had turned into an ant on a hot pan, pacing in quick circles around the room.
"The matter is urgent, I must immediately report to the president, activate all the spy networks lurking in Asia, conduct a thorough search and inventory of the Ninjutsu Alliance, and prepare to eliminate them all. Previously, the threat of the Ninjutsu Alliance was not great, and it was still within the range that the Pentagon could tolerate. Now, I'm worried that if the Attack Mirror Room mistake was caused by the Ninjutsu Alliance, then their goal was precisely to rescue the big shots. It is conceivable that they have also found the inheritor of the 'Soul Restoration Technique', which can help the big man become a normal person again while saving him. I'm never timid, but I have to be well prepared to sit back and relax. One '9/11' is enough for the American people to grieve, and there must be no second. Thomas said as he paced.
"How can I help?" I asked.
"Persuade Tang Wan to cooperate with us. Thomas replied bluntly.
"It's impossible to persuade you to surrender, but we're working together right now, and the direction of cooperation is clear. I think that's at its best. I replied.
It is impossible for me and Tang Wan to surrender to the Pentagon, this is a matter of principle, and it will never be changed.
"The world is changing, and there are some things that can be done if you are willing to push them. Thomas said.
The phone in his hand rang suddenly, and when he pressed the speakerphone, I immediately heard the president's voice: "Turn on the first-level combat alert state, find all the lurkers of the Ninjutsu Alliance, no longer monitor, directly and secretly arrest, and ensure that the threat to the soul of the big man is lifted, and do not give the Ninjutsu Alliance a chance to make trouble." Pass the order to go, iron and blood, no mercy, if overkill, everything is responsible for me. ”
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief that the Americans were finally forced to do it, and the good days of the Ninjutsu Alliance were coming to an end.
To deal with that frenzied group, only by resorting to thunderbolts can peace be finally reaped.
"Mr. President, I recommend that you cancel all public appearances, especially those in the open square, until the end of the counterattack. Thomas whispered.
"Okay, I'll think about it. However, the people of the United States of America have never been afraid of acts of terror, and courage and perseverance have always been our national norms. Toms, I want you to remember that your mission is not to protect myself alone, but to protect all nationals of the United States of America, including overseas workers and expatriates. Now, let it go!," replied the president aloud.
Thomas was indeed a cautious man, and even in the presence of the president and his authority, he did not show any signs of radical excitement, and when the president hung up, he first sighed and then sat silent.
Tang Wan's hypnosis experiment is still ongoing, so we still have a little time to talk.
"You have to help me, just like I helped you find Miss Tang before. Thomas said.
I smiled bitterly silently and nodded, since the other party dared to be greedy for heaven's merits, then I really couldn't do anything but admit it.
"Mobilize more Chinese thaumaturgists and give them to me to take command as a way to fight against the Ninjutsu Alliance. He said again.
As soon as I wanted to refuse, Thomas immediately added: "Mr. Xia, mobilize them, I have a way to do it, as long as you don't stand up and expose my hole cards, I can appease them, lead them, and complete the most difficult business." ”
He really calculated everything, just waiting for me to get into the trap.
At the moment, if no one uncovers the conspiracy of the Americans, as long as the price is high enough, they can indeed recruit a large number of Chinese thaumaturgists and drive them to become the spearheads of the Japanese at will.
They are most afraid that people like me will interfere with it and make different voices.
"Big things are not informal, and big gifts are not informal. Mr. Xia, our goal is to eradicate all the scourges that harm the world, as long as the goal is right and what is done, it is allowed. Mr. President is a man of great ability and strategy, and like the big men of your country, he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Many historical examples have shown that one will become famous and ten thousand bones will wither...... You may be scolding me in your heart for forcing you to fall into the trap, but at this moment, you must do so in order to achieve the final victory. Thomas said.
His mood was very low, and it was obvious that he already felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
I understand what he meant, in ancient Chinese history, any person who achieved great success stepped on the corpses of countless donors to reach the top, sacrificed others, and achieved himself.
Just like today, if I were to be at the top of the Ninjutsu Alliance, I would probably become a donor, and my ambition would die before I was rewarded, and the hero would burst into tears. On the other hand, if you follow Toms's plan and recruit enough thaumaturgists to form a battle formation against the Ninjutsu Alliance, you have a much better chance of winning. It's just that I don't want to keep those people in the dark, but I want to tell the truth and give them the opportunity to choose freely.
"Mr. Xia, I would also like to make it clear that if you are not willing to cooperate, I will find someone else and unswervingly push forward this work. The Pacific Ocean is the lifeblood of the United States, and we will not allow other countries to sabotage it. If you still don't feel like you can harm your compatriots, our conversation can be over. Thomas continued.
I didn't contradict him, didn't say a word, pushed the door and left.
Standing in the hallway, I suddenly became hesitant.
Thomas said: The Pacific Ocean is the lifeblood of the United States, and the same is true for China? China's coastline in the north and south is endless, and if the security of the sea is lost, the coastline will be opened widely, and it will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the Eight-Nation Coalition at multiple points at sea during the Opium War, and taking care of one thing at the expense of the other.
I can die for my country, but what about other people, why can't they be like me? I can think like this, but I know that no one else can be more noble than me?
For the sake of the country, everyone must be brave and take the lead, so as to kill the invaders and protect our great rivers and mountains. If only one or two people awaken, what can be done?
Thomas didn't chase it out, and it seems that everyone needs time to reflect.
I took a few steps forward, and I was already at the door of the hypnosis chamber.
"I wonder what Tang will think, if the same question is in front of her, how will she choose?" I couldn't help but bow my head and ponder.
Suddenly, the door to the chamber opened, and the expert in the white hazmat suit hurriedly bowed his head and rushed out. I quickly dodged to the side so that I didn't get bumped into him.
"She knows the secrets of the big guys, she knows the secrets of the big guys!" the expert shouted, his face lit up. However, there was a look of fear in his eyes, which was very different from the excitement on his face.
"What happened? Tang Wan said?" I asked aloud.
"She said she knew what the big man was going to do!—why should I tell you? Go away, I want to see Mr. Toms!" the expert was only halfway there, and he was conscious, and immediately realized that there was no need to explain to me, that his immediate boss was Toms.
He lunged forward, slammed me away, and ran to the other end of the hallway.
I didn't stop him, there must be a hypnosis record in the room, there was no need to ask him.
"Mr. Toms, where are you? I have an emergency report, where are you?" the expert couldn't see Toms, and was so anxious that he shouted loudly.
I stopped getting involved with the other person's business, flashed sideways, and entered the hypnosis room.
As I expected, there was a stack of notepads thrown on the desk on one side of the secret room, and next to it was a signature pen with the cap removed. It is conceivable that the expert was so excited when he learned about a certain piece of news that he ran out as soon as he threw the pen and paper, and he didn't have time to clean it up.
I walked over and looked down to study the words on the paper.
The following is the original words of Tang Wan: "The big man told me that as early as around 1919, he had invented an electronic product similar to a language translator, which could translate the languages of different races seamlessly. With the help of this product, the big man is able to communicate with most of the sea creatures for a short period of time. ”
I understand that the sea creatures here should refer to a group with independent consciousness such as mermaids.
"Japan has lived as an island country for a long time, and the discovery of marine animals is a great help to the foundation of Japan's nationhood. So, he put down all chores, led three research teams, studied day and night, and finally upgraded this communication to the level of smooth communication with the shark in the sea at the same ideological level. He was a soldier who had been loyal to the emperor for generations, and his only goal in life was to strengthen Japan and plant the sun flag of the Yamato nation all over the world. So, he made a statement to the emperor that with the help of the mermaids, he could look down on the whole world. In fact, this was one of the reasons why Japan went to Europe to form an Axis alliance with Germany and Italy. The big men are ambitious, thinking that the Pacific Rim countries are already under control, and they must make friends and attack from afar, form an alliance with Europe, and quickly carve up the world. By this time, it was around 1935, two years before the outbreak of World War II. The bigwigs also said that the "tiger tiger" plan for the attack on Pearl Harbor also had elements of mermaid participation. It was one of the miracles in the history of World War II, and it was absolutely inconceivable that the US military, with its strong communications capabilities and air defense capabilities, actually fell on the deck and woke up from its sleep. The only explanation is what the big man said, the ships moored in the base have been secretly manipulated by the merman, and the combat effectiveness has almost dropped to zero, so it was devastating in the blink of an eye...... "The record is clearly written.
If there is a certain nation in the world that can enslave the mermaids, it is the Yamato nation of Japan. The nation is intelligent and persistent, has thousands of years of island survival history, is very serious about learning from other advanced countries, and can draw inferences from others and bring forth the new. Japan's Meiji Restoration was a great success, quickly ending the dark years of isolation and entering a period of rapid development with a global perspective and catching up. The Japanese people have the spirit of "perseverance and meticulousness", and once they have found the right goal, they will continue to do their research to the end. What the big people do is unreasonable in the eyes of other people, but in the eyes of Japanese people, it is a natural thing.
