Chapter 3: The Dance of the Butterfly (I)
February 24, 2102, Date Palm, EAS Headquarters.
If you work in this underground building for a long time, you will not see the rising moon and the change of day and night for a long time, and your sense of time will become numb. After all, clocks and calendars are just numbers that change, and people's biological clocks will gradually deviate under external influences. If you take a few days off and take a breath outside, it's no different from going to jail.
Shi Shi has not set foot in the underground facility for a month, and although he has been "basically confirmed" to get rid of the drug control of the reverse cross, it is only limited to his activities in the headquarters of EAS, which shows that his suspicion has not been completely cleared.
On this day, two people who could completely clear his suspicions were coming, one was Director Adolf of Evolution, and the other was Director Dzhugashvili of Factory.
In order to make the government and the opposition completely reassured of the "hero" of the servant, Krauser came up with this method and sent these two most authoritative directors to go there with great fanfare.
In fact, Krauser himself had inquired in detail about the situation at that time through several phone calls with Shi Shi, and had already made a presumption that Tianyi had given up this hole card.
But the pressure of public opinion from within the empire was still very strong. The waiter is Krause's cronies, and Krause's brothers and their think tank will naturally not miss any opportunity to attack Krause, and the waiter remains in the headquarters of EAS as if he was under house arrest, which is also the result of pressure from above by these people.
Although it is said that the hole card that Tianyi put next to Krazer was turned over. It's a good thing for Krause, but he can't let this continue indefinitely, and now the empire is at a time of survival, a time to employ people. Now that the waiter has been out of control, of course he has to be transferred back to send him back quickly.
As a result, the two bureau chiefs, Adolf and Zhugashvili, were sent to carry out this mission in general "killing chickens with knives". It stands to reason that this kind of test can be obtained by finding two grassroots staff, and there is no need for the two directors to go out in person, but since it is a show. Just do it thoroughly, although the process is meaningless, but the result can make some people shut up, and that's it.
This is a helpless move that is often done in political struggles. Spend some costs, that is, manpower, materials, money...... Do something meaningless to attack or respond to an opponent's attack. Of course, this does not mean that politicians themselves like to do so. They're just playing by the rules of the game. For example, on Arbor Day every year, we can see many leaders driving buses, burning gasoline, and holding brand new shovels. Standing in front of the reporter's camera, he took a group photo with a smile on his face. In fact, they all know that this is formalism, except for burning some silver. Doesn't make much practical sense. There are special people to do the afforestation. Even if you are given a sapling, you may not be able to grow it. But there is no way, this is the rule of the game, some costs cannot be saved, otherwise why would a certain country get sponsorship to elect a parliamentarian.
To get back to the point, in the evening of the same day, an amphibious transport plane landed at a military base on the desert border of Zaoye County. Once at this supply point, the aircraft will move to land, planning to arrive at EAS's headquarters by 12 o'clock that night.
Everything went smoothly, the transport plane docked for about forty minutes and was ready to restart, and the initial estimate should be that it should arrive about an hour earlier than planned.
The transport plane soon changed to land mode and set off again. The shape of the fuselage can be varied, and in terms of volume, it is similar to that of a regular Boeing airliner. However, there is no runway near EAS's headquarters, the dunes are undulating, and only helicopters can land directly, which is a problem that the large transport aircraft took into account when it was dispatched. If there is no vertical lifting function, it must have the form of driving in the desert, otherwise you will have to change the means of transportation here in the military base, and it will be a waste of time to move those equipment up and down.
By about 10 p.m., everything was normal, and the transport plane was very close to its destination.
It happened to be a moonlit night, in the middle of the endless desert, inside the transport plane that was moving completely on the navigation system, and the four soldiers in the cockpit were dozing.
The two bureau chiefs and their deputies sat in their respective cabins, listening to boring radio programs, watching the paper media full of lies at hand, and perhaps the only pastime that could be counted as a crossword puzzle in the newspaper.
With the destruction of the headquarters of Evolution and the occupation of all of North America by the Zì Yóu front, Adolf became almost a bare-bones commander, and the headquarters of the Factory had recently been forced to relocate due to the course of the war, so Dzhugashvili, like his old adversary, was temporarily on standby. This time, Krauser asked them to go on a business trip, and they didn't have a big opinion, but they thought it would be nice to be able to leave Tiandu to breathe.
Because of today's Tiandu, the whole city is filled with a solemn atmosphere, and the battle between several princes and royal palaces in the shadows has reached the final stage, and the court and the central government can be described as dangerous, so everyone is in danger and is cautious in words and deeds. The slightest negligence is a broken bone.
Perhaps fate was playing a joke, but Adolf and Dzhugashvili never dreamed that they would die in this desolate desert with their old enemies......
"Did you see that?" said Adolf in the cabin to Hess, who was sitting across the aisle.
Hess felt very inexplicable, he was not napping or wandering, but he didn't notice anything unusual: "Director, may I ask what you mean by ......?"
"Butterflies. Adolf said.
The scene of their conversation might have been laughed out loud if there was a third person watching from the sidelines, both of whom had the faces of inconspicuous Caucasian middle-aged men, wearing the same dark blue sè uniforms, with the same facial paralysis expression on their faces, and even the tone of voice when they spoke was similar, all thanks to the transformation of evolution. Because of this, they sat in the cabin and had a very ordinary conversation, but it looked like two second-rate cross talk actors talking to each other.
"Hmm...... Managing director. Hess thought the question was incredible: "It's the desert, and we're in the transport. Of course, he doesn't just say the word "ridiculous", he can only say it on the sideways - it's impossible.
At the same time, in another cabin, Dzhugashvili said almost the same thing to his henchman Malenkov, who was traveling with him: "Did you see it......?
