Chapter 140: Shelling

You must not know what I went through, my son accidentally knocked over the water cup while eating, and the water in the water cup poured directly down my laptop keyboard, directly emitting smoke and black screen. And at this moment, I am sleeping. My wife woke me up and asked me why the laptop screen was black and I couldn't turn it on. Little did I know that it was just one of her childish ways of shirking responsibility, and I just pressed the power button...... It's over.

A notebook of more than 6,000 was scrapped while I was sleeping, but the culprit was my son, and I really couldn't do anything about it.

Now I'm using my old man's notebook, although it's a bit stuck and a little slow, but at least it can still be used. I don't want to buy good things anymore, and there are no more days when there is a king of destruction in the house. My lost phones, headphones, players, and laptops have gone all the way.

=============================

Matt's face was gloomy and terrible, and since he was thirty-six years old, he had never been so bad as he was today. The discomfort in his chest deepened with his heartbeat, making him feel overwhelmed with every breath.

The death of the three deacons made him suddenly realize a problem. Even if the Truth Society had mastered supernatural powers such as telekinesis, it would still not be able to compete with the Church, an organization that had existed for thousands of years, even if the Church was not as good as it was today.

The death of three people is actually not a loss for a snake like the Truth Society that is deeply rooted in the Southern Special Administrative Region, and how many Truth Society members have dedicated themselves to the cause of science for the development of science over the years? Various explosions, infections, and radiation from experiments have taken the lives of many Truth Society members. But this time the nature is different, those who have died for the sake of science are valuable, and they use their deaths to promote the progress of science step by step, leaving valuable experience and wealth for future generations.

And what did the death of these three people bring?

Nothing but fear was brought. Their deaths were meaningless, and there was nothing more than the power of the church to be feared.

Yes, as soon as the news of the death of the three people came back, the Truth Society held a general meeting of the Board of Directors, and more than a dozen directors and nearly 100 directors held a telegraph meeting for this purpose, and in the invisible airwaves, everyone exchanged opinions with each other, but the most mentioned was how to maintain a certain relationship with the church, at least until the potential of the mind power was fully developed.

This made it difficult for Matt to step down, and it had always been the policy of the Truth Church to oppose the church, and this attack on Cassius was also a decision he made against public opinion.

Now that everyone finds that the top strength of the church is not as weak as they imagined, and they also find that their strength is not as strong as they expected, their attitude will naturally change.

In the final analysis, they are just scientists with weapons in their hands, and neither their mentality nor consciousness can compare to a bare-handed warrior.

"I'm not going to just give up!", Matt pounded the table, his expression twitching, the opinion within the council was to suspend him from his position, which he couldn't bear, "I'll personally deal with Cassius, no matter what method is used, as long as I kill him, the church will avoid it." The Church is not having a good time now, Fabio needs them to push for civil reform in the south, and once the Church is no longer functional, all that awaits them is decay and destruction.

If we can get rid of an ascetic, the church will have some scruples and will no longer take the initiative to provoke the forces in the south. They also have a reason to slow down their infiltration into the south, and this reason can also explain the past to Fabio. ”

The dot matrix printer slowly spat out a note, and the chairman of the board of directors from another city, the secretary in charge of reading the telegram, immediately read it out loud, "Mental power is not as powerful as we thought, our understanding of telekinesis is still superficial, if Mr. Matt, you think that telekinesis alone can deal with an ascetic who has been in a hundred battles for more than a hundred years, please forgive our pessimism, we think that you will not be able to defeat the other party." ”

Matt's face was gloomy and dripping, but what the chairman said was true. He pondered for a moment, glanced at the messenger, and said, "I will not stubbornly use only telekinesis, I will consider using some modern weapons against this ascetic. Artillery and incendiary grenades are the best options, and the new generation of howitzers we have developed should also undergo a live-fire experiment. Although some results have been achieved in small-scale experiments after the ratio of incendiary bombs has been updated, large-scale experiments have not yet been verified, and this is an excellent opportunity. ”

The telegraph operator's fingers clicked frantically, and Matt's words clicked rhythmically, turning into radio waves that radiated out at an extremely fast speed.

A moment later, the snowflake-like telegram came almost simultaneously, and all the reporters in the room were quickly turning the signal from the radio waves into readable and intuitive text.

You can give it a try.

The large-scale application of the Imperial armored artillery vehicles in the war attracted considerable attention from the Truth Society, and this idea of quickly transforming scientific and technological power into war potential allowed this group of crazy scientists to find a new way out for their research results. Howitzers and incendiary bombs are two of the most mature products. They plan to secretly transport these things through the offshore sea and bring them down to the Republic.

Although Turman has not yet begun to use troops against the Republic, many people can already foresee that once the Southern Region is thoroughly consumed, the Republic will become a thing of the past. The reason why Fabio and Tuhlman are not doing it now is because they are afraid that if they volley their forces to attack the Republic, the remaining federal forces on the southern side of the district will take advantage of the situation. So the imperial ruling class has been intensifying its infiltration and civil reform in the south.

Moreover, it connived at the missionary behavior of the churches in the southern special region, and completely relaxed their restrictions on missionary work.

This is also the core contradiction between the Society of Truth and the Empire, and the Church of Light.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and the Truth Society, in order to resist these forces from the Empire, has begun to secretly support the generals of the Republic. Whether it is weapons or supplies, as long as they need them, even if they can't come up with money for the time being, they can give them them. The stronger their power, the more moderate the Empire's actions towards the Southern District will be.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a large number of scientific and technological achievements have been transformed into war potential, and that the Truth Society will be able to come up with howitzers and incendiary bombs.

Matt did what he said he would, and with the support of all the chairmen and trustees, he immediately left the room. He knew very well that these people seemed to support him, but in fact they also meant to use him as a bird.

Now the Truth Society is not as united as it used to be, and after the death of the older generation of presidents, a new generation of presidents has taken their place. The new generation of chairmen is young and energetic, but there are also shortcomings that the older generation of chairmen do not have.

They are not resolute enough, not pure enough, they all have their own thoughts and interests entangled, and each of them represents the interests of a group of people.

The good thing is that there is internal competition and controllable infighting, which will put the truth on a strong path. The downside is that the path is fraught with danger, and it may come from within.

It's just that at this moment, the arrow is on the bow, and he has to send it, and it is not his turn to make a decision.

Ten grenades were dragged out of the warehouse by a tractor and parked in a row on a pedestal built on the periphery of the city circle. In order to test the power of howitzers, some basic buildings were specially built. Following the parameters of past experiments, the goal was set, and all that remained was to wait for Cassius' arrival.

Time passed little by little, and at a little over three o'clock in the afternoon, the investigators spotted Cassius. The artillerymen immediately counted the yuan, and at Matt's signal, began the first salvo.

Seeing that the bustling city was close at hand, Cassius suddenly stopped, and he looked up at the sky, as if he was looking at something.

There was a whining screech in my ears, and a black spot appeared in the sky. He calmly watched as the small ovoid metal eggs fell quickly, and his body was engulfed by the flames in an instant.
