"The country and the nation are labels that cannot be completely erased from a person, and I completely agree with that. However, what we are going to talk about now has nothing to do with the state, but between thaumaturgists. Mr. Xia, do you agree with the saying that thaumaturgists have no borders?" she asked, then added, "Of course, thaumaturgists must also be divided into countries and nationalities, I mean, we are going to talk about the battle between the top thaumaturgists in the world, leaving aside the country for the time being, because this time the stakes are very high, and only by working together can we have a chance to win." Let's tell you the truth, I've gambled my life, and this time, if I don't succeed, I'll die in the East China Sea - including all the teams I can command, die in the sea, and never back down. As Hemingway explained in "The Old Man and the Sea", a hero can be killed, but it can never be defeated. ”

Her eyes became extremely resolute, like a warrior facing the coming of the apocalypse.

"You're betting on everyone you're leading?" I asked.

She can decide her own life and death, but she should not decide the life and death of others, which is the most immoral behavior and the biggest taboo of a party commander in war.

"For the sake of victory, take a desperate gamble, just like your ancient Chinese Xiang Yu, break the kettle and sink the boat, the last fight. She replied.

I don't know how many Pentagon elites Carrie will be able to mobilize, and if she insists on going her own way, Area 51 and the Angels will definitely lose a lot this time, making it the heaviest record since the events in Somalia.

"Why does it have to be like this?" I asked.

Carrie bit her lower lip, leaned forward, and stared into my eyes: "The Lord of the Sharks is as furious as a frightened horse, who else do I count on if I don't come forward? I have been sleepless at night, thinking about who else can be relied on behind me—the president? the chief of the Pentagon? the old minister of the General Staff? the helpless scientists in the 51 area? the rangers who only know how to kill for fun and run rampant in the desert? the delta force that has no quality and cannot protect itself, or the Navy SEALs who frequently make mistakes and are full of loopholes? Neither, neither, neither......

She let out a long sigh, shook her blonde hair, and leaned back, showing her decadence.

The Pentagon is a global military model, but at the moment, in Carrie's eyes, it is a group of wine bags and rice bags.

"A thousand - I have a thousand dead thaumaturgists, if you can contribute another thousand, then everyone can form a complete encirclement and attack the lair of the lord of the mermaids in the East China Sea, destroying it in one fell swoop. Senior Pentagon officials once proposed a stupid way of nuclear attack, without using their pig brains at all, if nuclear weapons envelop the Pacific Ocean, then the coastal countries will become uninhabitable ruins for mankind within a hundred years. The method of killing 1,000 enemies and inflicting 10,000 losses on oneself can be proposed, so it can be seen that the so-called think tanks of the United States of America are all kinds of goods? Therefore, I am unwilling and dare not rely on them, and I will lead these 1,000 dead soldiers to the battlefield in the next step. Mr. Xia, in the whole world, only you are worthy of being my comrade-in-arms, are you willing?" Jiali's mood became very low.

Compared to her great ambitions, the Chinese thaumaturgist was embarrassed. Even the likes of Mrs. Hong should think about the wall and think about the gap between themselves and the American masters.

"What about the specific plan?" I asked.

Karrie asked rhetorically, "You agreed?"

I nodded: "As long as the plan is executable, unlike the Japanese kamikaze suicide attacks in World War II, I will consider supporting you." ”

Carrie shook his head: "No, this time, it's really a suicide attack." As a superpower, it has endured countless suicide attacks, and this time it is to give back to the other way, so that * can also taste the taste of suicide attacks. ”

I can't help but smile bitterly and speechless, using violence to counter violence and killing to stop killing have long been despised by Chinese ancestors, and repaying grievances with virtue and magnanimity are the fundamentals of Chinese self-cultivation. If I approve of Jiali's actions, it is tantamount to throwing away all Chinese Confucian traditions and completely subverting my own moral code for half of my life.

"On 9/11, my parents were on the Gemini building, the same floor where the plane was hit. So, in an instant, he left me and went to another world. From then on, I knew that my only mission in this life was to wage war against the enemy, to sacrifice the lives of the enemy, to the heavens, to the sword, to my parents, and to all the innocent people who died in suicide attacks. The Lord of the Sharks is the biggest*, more terrible than all the enemies on the Pentagon, CIA, FBI* rosters, and is the source of all terror. In particular, the secret investigation report of Area 51 pointed out that more than ninety percent of the world's terrorist organizations have received support and gifts from the lord of the shark people, including the well-known desert lords and Afghan bandit leaders. This black hand must be cut off in order to completely cut off the economic lifeblood of global terrorist organizations and make these social cancers unable to survive......" The topic of Carrie is getting bigger and bigger, and I am in awe of her.

The September 11 incident was a clarion call to declare war on the whole world, and it was also a red signal for countries around the world to join forces to eliminate them across borders. When the Gemini building was in distress, anyone who saw the smoke from the roof of the building knew very well that innocent and good people could not coexist, and they were bound to be like fire and water.

"Okay, I'm willing to help you with all my might, convince Madame Hong, and mobilize a thousand thaumaturgists to fight alongside you. I said.

I am confident that I will convince Mrs. Hong that, after all, the lord of the merman is entrenched in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and the threat to the east and west coasts is completely equal. With Mrs. Hong's status, it is easier to see this.

"Thank you. Carrie suddenly got up and bowed to me.

I didn't dare to accept her big gift, so I got up and returned the salute.

In fact, I don't have any state power in my hands, so I can only act as a liaison between Jiali and Lady Hong, and organize the thaumaturgists under the command of both sides to carry out this large-scale operation.

This was not a military exercise, it was a suicide attack, as Carrie said. Regardless of success or not, the power of thaumaturgists in China and the United States will be set back by a hundred years, and the elite will be wiped out, leaving only children.

I hope that the most glorious curtain of life will be slowly opened, even if it is as short as a meteor or a flower, and I will return the world to a clean and innocent world.

Carrie walked to the bedroom and quickly pulled over the largest metal suitcase and placed it next to the coffee table.

"This is a settling-in allowance, which is enough for the descendants of 1,000 people to have no worries about food and clothing within three generations. In addition, I will concoct 1,000 Swiss bank accounts and open a trust account with a total amount of 500 million US dollars, and all the descendants of the participants in this naval battle will have the right to borrow from this account without interest and enjoy the rest of their lives. She said.

"We Chinese will not fight for money, only for moral justice. I said.

In this war, the Chinese thaumaturgists were not mercenaries for the Pentagon, so there was no reason to accept the Americans' snort.

"Morality, justice, Mr. Xia, I believe this is your own idea, but a person must have money to live, and anyone who fights for morality and justice must be rewarded, this is what you call justice. I know what you think, the Chinese are not willing to accept handouts from the US government, so the money is my own. Before coming to China this time, I had sold all the properties, factories, and shares that my ancestors had left behind, raising a total of 10 billion US dollars. In addition, the weapons and baggage needed for the operation are provided by the Pentagon and the 51 region, so there is no need to worry about it. This money is due to you Chinese thaumaturgists, please distribute it on your behalf. "Carrie seems to have calculated my reaction, and these words are reasonable and I cannot refuse.

I am so ashamed that I can't argue with it.

In fact, most of the thaumaturgists in China lived a very aggrieved life, scattered among the people, mingling with the peddlers, pawns, and pulp sellers, living a peaceful but tasteless life, and finally dying of depression.

Not to mention, like the official lady, the most important job every day is to walk the streets and alleys, solve all kinds of trivial problems for the people, and finally die in the old house, and others can't even remember her full name. Like most thaumaturgists, she has neither made a great contribution to this society, nor received the rewards she deserves, and even lived a more desolate life than most people, becoming the lowest person in society.

In ancient times, Han Xin, Su Qin, Zhang Liang, Fan Xu and others were reckless, and they could eventually meet Ming Jun and become heroes of the prosperous era, and their names will go down in history. What about modern times? There are too many thaumaturgists who come and go without a name, leaving not even a single bubble in the long river of history.

This is unfair, for thaumaturgists it is the greatest waste of life, and for society it is the greatest sinking of resources.

"Well, I thank you for all the Chinese thaumaturgists. I nodded.

After this war, I hope that all Chinese thaumaturgists will remember their mission, realize the value of their lives, and no longer be resigned to mediocrity. Life is short, such as morning dew, you must do your best to shine brightly, so that the world can remember you, not in vain in this life, not in vain in this colorful world.

"I should thank you a lot, without you, Mrs. Hong and I would never have been able to work together. Your appearance has changed the fate of thaumaturgists around the world. Carrie said.

"It's my pleasure. I replied.

If I can start with this Sino-US thaumaturgist cooperation, so that Chinese thaumaturgists can realize their own value, and from then on embark on the bright road of chivalry, for the country and the people, that is the greatest contribution I have made to the thaumaturgical world.

"Please dredge it up on your behalf, I would like to talk to Mrs. Hong in detail on the new level of communication. As far as I know, the Dragons have a very exhaustive list of thaumaturgists on the Asian continent, and it is the easiest way to choose the best soldiers. Mr. Xia, I hope that the two sides will reach a preliminary agreement as soon as possible, and give me a little more time to report to the Pentagon. "Carrie is no longer beating around the bush, but speaking to the heart.

The dragon group is powerful, covering the sky with one hand, and this large-scale thaumaturgist transfer plan can only be led by Madame Hong.

"I'll build this bridge. "I say it sincerely.

Carrie humbly escorted me out of the house, and two Angel Gang men dragged my suitcase back to Mrs. Hong.

When I passed through the corridor again, I saw the temple courtyard wall with blue bricks and gray tiles on the top of Thousand Buddha Mountains. It turned out that we were still at the Palace Hotel, and although we wore blindfolds in between, it was just a routine business, and Mrs. Hong did not deliberately keep it a secret from me.

When I was about to arrive at the reception room in front of Mrs. Hong, the Angel Gang stopped and handed me the suitcase.

"Go back and tell Miss Carrie not to use hypnotism on others, that would not be good. Since we are truly cooperative, we must not be tempted repeatedly, but must show all sincerity. I told the two.

In the beginning, I didn't have a defense against Karrie.

At times like these, everyone is betting every step of the way. If you bet right, you can find like-minded allies to fight against the Lord of the Sharks. Of course, if I make a mistake, I may become a vassal of Carrie and do something terrible under her hypnotic command.

In order to bring about the cooperation of the two great schools of thaumatururgists, I am willing to make the greatest sacrifices, even at the risk of my own safety.

The two of them gave a thumbs up together and responded with a smile: "Mr. Xia is really clever, Miss Carrie once said that if you want to perform hypnotism on you, you can't find a starting point." A real master is like this, the heart and appearance are integrated, and others can't find flaws if they want to hurt you. If it's not limited by status, we will definitely ask you more. When we go back, we will definitely convey your advice to the young lady, thank you. ”

Shang Que was deaf and clear-sighted, and at the slightest movement on our side, he rushed out.

"What's in that box?" he said toughly, and the look at the two of them was extremely unfriendly.

"It's money, a lot of money. The short man replied.

Shang Que snorted, walked over, and kicked lightly at the box: "Money?

The short man nodded and smiled: "It was given to Mr. Xia by Miss Jiali, as for other details, we can't say more." ”

"Open it, I'll take a look!" Shang Que ordered.

The short man shook his head with a grin: "Forgive me, after all, the box is something shared by Miss Carrie and Mr. Xia, although Your Excellency is in a high position, but without Miss Carrie's order, we can't carry out your order." Otherwise, let's withdraw first, and you can talk to Mr. Xia about the box slowly. ”

Shang Que sneered: "Who knows what's in the box? So much money, is it possible? I suspect that it contains dangerous goods, and it must be opened and inspected before it can be put in." For the safety of Mrs. Hong, I have to check anyone's belongings. ”

The short man smiled, bowed deeply to me with the tall man, and turned away.

Their attitude towards Shang Que is gentle enough, which is a manifestation of high emotional intelligence and high intelligence, which is in line with the consistent principles of the Angel Gang. As for Shang Que, he was very introverted in front of the Angel Gang, and he really lost the face of the Dragon Group.

"Take care of the box, I'll go see Mrs. Hong. "I commanded.

I have no intention of embarrassing Shang Que, he is not a threat to me at all, and it has nothing to do with me whether I am conscientious or not.

Aishan had already reclined on a bench and fell asleep, this time not only in handcuffs, but also with another pair of shackles on his feet.

I knocked on the door and pushed it in.

Mrs. Hong was flipping through a thick roster, the computer next to her was open, and the screen displayed a forty-eight-panel surveillance probe screen.

"How's the talk?" she asked, looking up.

"The two sides cooperated, and each sent a thousand thaumaturgists to encircle and suppress the East China Sea. Jiali said that he had sold his property and took out hundreds of millions of dollars as compensation for the Chinese thaumaturgists. The reason why she hates the Lord of the Sharks is because the Lord of the Sharks has sponsored a lot of money*, and her parents both died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Now, what I can do is to match the two of you to form a new alliance of the Lord of the Shark Counter Sharks, and fight together to benefit together. I replied.

"The battle of a thousand people, what a big appetite!" Mrs. Hong nodded.

"Can you agree? If you need to ask for advice, please act now. The Lord of the Sharks must be eliminated, which is the biggest hidden danger in the Pacific Ocean, just like the isolated island in the sea where the Japanese invaders were entrenched in the latter part of World War II. I spat out what I wanted to say in one breath, and my mood immediately lightened.

The large-scale operation of the dragon group must be consulted, and this is a work system that cannot be shaken.

"I'll ask for instructions right away, you wait. Mrs. Hong said.

She went to the bedroom to make a phone call, the door closed and the voice very quiet.

Whether or not this bridge can be done well is not up to me, but by the superiors of the Dragon Group and the Angel Gang. The big man decides everything in the world, and under the big man, they are all ants, and they don't have any right to speak or make decisions. Whether to fight or to make peace, whether to divide or gather, is all decided by the superiors.

I leaned over to look at the cover of the roster, and it read "Mainland Thaumaturgist Register".

Jiali is right, the mainland thaumaturgists are all in the hands of Mrs. Hong, and the information of those people is extremely detailed, not only has personal information, but also the status of their relatives within three generations is also impressive, no less than the national political trial.

I believe that many of the names of the Seven Kings are on the booklet, including those who have died in battles large and small in and around the city of Jinan.

This is the thaumaturgist's rivers and lakes, the dead are gone, and the coming can be traced. The survivors cannot be narcissistic or lucky, and must use their limited lives to create infinite value, which is the meaning of the life of war survivors.

Mrs. Hong's phone call lasted for more than half an hour, and the light in the room became darker and darker, and finally within ten steps, she could not see the figure clearly.

I sat in the dark, retorting over what Carrie had said.

Destroying the lord of the merman with nuclear weapons is the stupid words of smart people, and perhaps those politicians with fat brains are dreaming every day, and they don't care to open their eyes to see the outside world. Nuclear weapons are a double-edged sword, killing the enemy at the same time, but also hurting oneself. In fact, the dangers of using nuclear weapons in the Pacific can be compared to the example of the Americans using "Agent Orange" on the battlefield in Vietnam. The harm of "Agent Orange" can last for 40 years, and the residual poison caused by water sources and crops can last for 80 years. It can be said that as soon as the "Agent Orange" came out, the entire land of Vietnam was sentenced to death, and the lives were devastated and suffering was great. With this defeat in the past, how dare US politicians talk about "nuclear weapons to contain the enemy"?

After Mrs. Hong finished the call, she came out of the bedroom, did not turn on the light, and returned to her seat in the dark.

I don't ask about the results, in fact, even if the dragon group does not participate in the battle, the Angel Gang will not stop moving. The Armageddon between Jiali and the Lord of the Sharks is imperative, like an arrow.

"I've been to see the Lianchengbi of the Qin King Society, and Zhang Quanzhong said that the Koi Blood Sucking Bureau is the most appropriate way to rescue them. No Western doctor, Chinese medicine or even witch doctor could save her, so she could only use koi to continue her life. She was a good girl, the hope of the future of the Qin Dynasty, and her name had been on my roster since she was thirteen years old. Don't worry, as soon as the Lord of the Sharks dies, all those who have suffered from it will be freed from their imprisonment. Mrs. Hong said quietly.

I nodded silently, since Mrs. Hong said this, it was equivalent to adding an insurance policy to Lianchengbi.

"I consulted for instructions, and the result of the request was very delicate, and finally I got the sentence 'will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected'. I'm wondering if it's a yes or a no. It's about the future of the Dragons, and I have to think it through before I can make a decision. The most troublesome thing is to get this kind of result, whether it is left or right, it is up to me to decide, but the final consequence is that the glory is a black cauldron, and I have to carry it myself. In particular, this time I was going to hand over a thousand lives as soon as I made a move, which I had never done before. I can die, but these thousand cannot die because of me. What do you say?" asked Mrs. Hong.

Across her desk, her eyes sparkled.

To be sure, in such a great war, a thousand thaumaturgists were dispatched, and at least 800 of them would have been laid to rest at the bottom of the sea, and no more than 20% would survive unharmed.

Since the superiors are not responsible, then Mrs. Hong is responsible for these 800 lives.

"There's no way around it. I said softly.

"If there is a clever plan, to surrender without a fight, it is the best. However, when the two strong meet the brave, the brave wins, and there is no good way but to start a war. The reports I have received from all over the world show that the lord of the merman does not take the power of the countries into account, and wants to single-handedly challenge the countries of the world with his own strength. Mr. Xia, give me a little time, let me turn psychologically now, otherwise I really can't bear to hand over so many lives. Mrs. Hong whispered.

"Ci is not in charge of the army. I responded to her with four words.

This is an old Chinese saying, and it is the same principle as "one will become famous and ten thousand bones will wither". Sometimes, you have to keep sacrificing to survive. Huang Jiguang blocked the eye-catching, Dong Cunrui blew up the bunker, and Qiu Shaoyun died in the flames...... These were the most valuable sacrifices, and their names and deeds will go down in history for generations to come.

Mrs. Hong sighed: "Mr. Xia, if you come to sit in my seat, is it not easy to make a decision?"

I nodded, "You can try." ”

Mrs. Hong smiled bitterly: "It would be nice if you only made decisions without taking any responsibility, with a stroke of the pen, I will approve a thousand thaumaturgists for you, and you will gallop across the field with you-"

I understand her distress, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, this is an absolute proportional relationship.

"In that case, what should I do next?" I looked at Mrs. Hong.

"I'm desperate too!" Mrs. Hong shook her head, "or to be infamous through the ages, or to become a hero for a lifetime, it's all in my mind to make a choice." It's a pity that I am not a hero in troubled times like Cao Mengde, a capable minister who governs the world, and I am not a man, otherwise, I can really cross the horse and raise the sword and establish immortal feats. Mr. Xia, at this moment, I really hope that you and I can swap bodies and solve the current dilemma reasonably and legally!"

It's a great idea, but it's hard to implement.

If Mrs. Hong can't make a decision on the spot, the cooperation will be in vain. In fact, it's not just Mrs. Hong who is so difficult to decide, anyone facing such a difficult problem will be in a dilemma.

"I'll go out first, and Madame will think deeply. I stood up.

"No, no, Mr. Xia, you don't have to. You're here, and it's easier for me to think of countermeasures. Mrs. Hong immediately raised her hand to stop me.

I sighed: "Madam, the rivers and lakes and politics are mixed together, and the future is confusing, and it is really difficult for you." ”

Mrs. Hong laughed, opened the drawer, took out the cigarette case, and slowly lit one.
