Chapter 263, Cunning Rabbit
The wind and snow fell all over the sky, and the earth was at a loss.
The reason for the high or low terrain is that some places are filled, and some places are already very different, and under the action of wind and snow, there are basins visible to the naked eye.
The snow basin in front of me is a bit strange, its lowest point is nearly 100 meters different from the surrounding flat snow, but there is a small snow mound in the middle of the bottom, about a few meters high from the lowest point.
More than one person said that this was the first year of the Age of Wind and Snow, and that the wind and snow raged could enter the second year at any time, and after a period of wind and snow fell, the ground would either be neat or would form an ice slope in the mountain.
It is impossible to have a snow basin with a small snow mound in the middle.
This small snow mound should have been filled in a long time ago.
A "buzz" sounded, almost silent in the wind and snow.
But with the naked eye, you can see something crazy on the ground around the small snow mound, and the snow is broken into broken ice, and it is carried away by the wind in an instant.
It's like there are countless skates hiding in the ground, breaking up the snow on the ground every once in a while before delivering it to the wind.
At this time, the small snow mound slowly rises upwards until it stops a few meters above the basin, and the two gates are thus raised and exposed to the wind and snow.
The gates were not opened, so you could see how thick they were, but you could see that they were equipped with small machines like crushers, rising and crushing the snow on the ground that blocked the gates.
The gate slid open left and right, and a group of people wearing spacesuits-like protective suits stepped out.
The last man walked out, the buzz sounded again, and the shredders on the door stopped spinning, and they slowly fell down.
One man looked back and said, "Hey! It's closed, how are we going to get in after we finish our mission?"
"Don't get excited, this morning the president ordered the door to be closed immediately if it has to be opened. When we come back in the evening, we'll open it again."
"You're light! These two broken doors have been repaired several times, the longest of which could not be opened for half a month, and I can remind you that our unreliable protective suits can stay in the snow for a week at most."
"Hah! You say too much, seven days is the data in the classroom, and the person who went out the day before yesterday to maintain the snow cleaner on the outside of the ground told me that the protective suit we wore only had three days of nutrient solution."
"And we're not going to be able to close the door? Don't close the door, don't close the door!"
The leader of the team reprimanded: "Shut up, I taught you in class, and those who can't go back after the snowstorm are all martyrs."
"Martyrdom is an honor, can it protect my parents, family and children after I die?"
Team leader: "Everyone! I'm with you, and you can't go back, and so am I!"
The noise was a little less, and the muttering became louder: "We are an unrestrained country, a strong country before the snowstorm, and we are still bragging after the snowstorm that we are a strong country, how can we maintain a door open in a few hours?"
The mouth of the leader of the team also became disdainful: "No way, the live broadcast of the Life Endless Investment Company said that their weapons were only activated for emergency inspection."
"It seems that I just said the cosmic covenant again, and it may have something to do with the covenant."
The leader sneered, "But our big man doesn't think so."
"Captain, do you know what they think?"
"I don't know, but I've received a clear message that in order to ensure that allies don't leave the base if they misunderstand us, the door will not be opened unless necessary, and will be closed as soon as it is opened."
"Ha, haha! Really @#$ funny, are we going to put our allies under house arrest?"
"Don't scold people when you carry out the mission, if you want me to say, President Dane is having a headache for the man named Yang Minghui to ask for supplies, and Mr. President thinks that the allies should pay together, so the door is closed, for fear that the allies will run away."
The person who led the team was not angry: "Don't talk nonsense, Yang Minghui may be right above our heads, and give us a missile at any time on the dome, and the first to be unlucky is our snowplow team that came out today."
"Captain, we all seem to understand what you mean by the mention of martyrs?"
"Please rest assured, I knew that leading the team out would die, but I didn't
Flinch. Everyone, cheer up, our task today is the same as the last time we went out, to measure the speed of the wind and snow, the speed change, how much the snow on the surface has increased, and to maintain the snow breakers outside, so that the gate will not be crushed by the snow before the next team comes out."
"Let's pray, I hope that Mr. President will quickly agree to Yang Minghui's request, I don't want to die."
"Me too."
As they spoke, the gate behind them sank completely to the ground, and the small snow mound returned to normal, but occasionally a red light flashed through, and the red light could be seen flashing out of the symbol of the unrestrained country when they got closer.
......
inside the base.
Office of the President.
A dozen people stood in confrontation, their eyes colliding in silence.
Among them were the square-faced President Dane, and the thin and tall S. About, chubby Edward, small and medium-sized very sturdy Nanmi.
Dane: "Guys, you won't speak, so I'll do it."
This. About a contemptuous glance at him from under Shou Mei, "Coward, I guess you intend to agree to Yang Minghui's request."
Dane: "Please be a sane speaker, the snow came suddenly, we urgently activated all military bases for the people to enter, and to this day we are still rushing to rescue our own people and vital supplies. The suit barely lasts a few days, but the planes and snowmobiles are not stable.....
This. Covenant even sneered: "The lack of raw materials is the president's business, and the Grand Council is only concerned with the status and development of the unrestrained country on this planet."
Dane: "I can't let the soldiers wear the only 100,000 spacesuits, well, now called hazmat suits, and walk to the country's important mines and factories and haul the raw materials back step by step."
This. "That's not the reason why you gave 100 million tons of refined steel to Yang Minghui."
Dane: "Then please calculate how much our dome will cost if a missile goes down, and the panic of the people."
This. Shut up.
Edward: "Mr. President, I don't think you need 100 million tons of refined steel to build the dome, not to mention that Yang Minghui also asked for all the passwords of the three high-end laboratories."
Dane: "It's true that it takes less than 100 million tons of steel to repair the dome after a missile strike, but there is more than one missile on a plane of Life Assured Investments. Moreover, missile-induced storms are worse than missiles, and more importantly, missiles can be launched with only one missile, while storms can last for three days, five days, or even a month. Prime Minister, after a day of missile bombardment, the cost of repairing our dome is staggering, and engineers need to repair it externally, which will produce a one-time consumption of talent."
Edward asked smartly, "So Life Endless Investment Company doesn't need to send many planes to hit you, one missile is enough?"
Dane sneered, "Hit you? Prime Minister, and all the allies here, you must stay here, stay with me while I am peacefully re-elected, and it is not you who will be beaten, but us."
Xiao He said repeatedly: "No, no, no, our chrysanthemum country is a small country, our support will not play a role, Mr. President, my country has urgent matters, please allow me to leave."
Nanmi: "No, no, no, we have a lot of things to do in the southern corn country, Mr. President asked me to come, I came, you can't detain me here."
Dane squinted at Edward, "Prime Minister, what about you?"
Edward: "If you don't want me to go, I won't be able to go, but you can't let me send supplies, heh, hehe, the economy of the Great Bull Country has been in decline long before the snowstorm, and we are poor."
Xiaohe was shocked: "We can't even get 100 million tons of refined steel,"
He exuded envy: "If I could, I would be Yang Minghui."
Nanmi: "Yes, yes, yes! We are all small countries, and there are almost no minerals."
Hearing this, Dane sneered at Shangsi. "I was in no mood to invite my allies to come to see my defeat a few days ago, and it was you, the Speaker, and Vice President Keeling, who invited them in the name of the President!"
This. About gloomy: "I underestimate you, I admit it."
Dane: "I never underestimate you, I'll tell you right now that Keelin is dead,"
This. Slightly surprised, but not surprised.
Edward and a dozen others were earthy.
Dane doesn't look at them, or with Si. "Mr. Speaker, Keeling's comrades are fleeing in all directions, but you know, as long as I keep the gates shut, they will fall into my hands sooner or later."
This. There was a sneer in Covenant's eyes, "No, you haven't caught Shaw yet. Oh!"
Dane faintly said: "That's right, I also told you that you and this military genius who is both important to Keelin seems to have fled to the snow before my orders, but so what, I just told you that we don't have much supplies in our protective suits, and the nearby bases won't open their gates anytime soon, Xiao. O'll just starve to death in the snow."
This. Covenant's eyes suddenly turned into knives.
Dane avoided his gaze and continued to talk, "Of course, in your capacity as the Speaker, you may be able to move one of our bases to hide Shaw. O, but half of the Charlie family is on their way to our other bases, and once Major General Charlie meets Shaw. O, will give him a shot, and if it doesn't hit, they will fire in a burst until Shaw. Until he dies."
This. He said, "Humph! The Charles family is the family of the nation, and they are not loyal to a particular president."
Dane: "You're right, but the wind and snow have blocked our communications, and I'm afraid that you will block it in the name of the country and let Major General Charlie go to other bases as soon as possible, so by the time the Council contacts them, they have already killed your Xiao. Oh."
This. Joshua withheld his anger: "What do you want?"
Dane looked at him fiercely: "What I want is also what you want, a plane that lives forever investment company, what do you think?"
This. Yue looked at him quietly, slowly annoyed and calm: "Are you sure to take down Yang Minghui?"
Dane: "I didn't, you probably have."
He shouted outside the door, "Please come in, Admiral."
The tall middle-aged man walked in, Admiral Rogge.
Admiral Rogge: "Hello, Mr. Speaker, the location of the materials that Yang Minghui wants has been given, and the steel he wants in position P in our No. 1 military area happens to be refined steel, which happens to be 100 million tons, and near position P, are the three high-end laboratories he has named. Time is pressing, Yang Minghui has been counting down, let's not pretend to be confused with each other, the P position of the No. 1 military area is the territory of the Grand Council, and the person left behind there is Xiao. Ao's men, they only listen to you."
This. Yoo was furious: "The No. 1 military area is called No. 1, and it is completely secret, how does Yang Minghui know that there are a large number of supplies there in the P location?"
Admiral Rogge's face was expressionless: "I said it all, the P position is the territory of the Grand Council, whose camp is it that leaked the news, isn't it black on a white paper, at a glance?"
This. Joo glared at him fiercely, and suddenly said, "The traitor must not be Bohan!"
Dane's anger also came up: "I don't know if it was Bohan who leaked the news, but you must believe the facts, Bohan walked into my office, he coerced me, not me to let people hold their families hostage!"
This. Johan cried out, "Berham is dead!"
Dane: "It's not ***!"
This. About: "Who else?"
Dane was furious, and his chest rose and fell.
This. "It's not surprising that someone from the Grand Council walked out and was assassinated, but who else can get Bohan to give a speech in support of you and then shoot him!" The motive here is clear."
Dane yelled, "It's not me!"
This. The mockery deepened: "But Bohan is dead, and I find out that the murderer is dead without proof, and if you want to clear your name, there is no proof that you are dead."
Dane was angry, his stomach was stuck in his throat, and his neck and face quickly flushed.
There was a knock on the door.
Rogge: "Come in."
Staff: "Yang Minghui again asks Mr. President to give an answer, otherwise
He will fire three missiles in a row, how much storm it will cause, he says he doesn't care."
Dane was irritated: "Got it, get out!"
Rogge called out to the staff: "Please Colonel Charlie cooperate with the host of Ace to continue to stabilize Yang Minghui, and give Mr. President a little more time."
Staff: "Please try to hurry up, Mr. President, my family and I live in this base, and so does Mr. President."
Dane exhaled softly a few breaths and said to S. "Now is not the time for you and me to take revenge on each other, I signed the Universal Covenant, and you will have to bear some responsibility."
This. "But not at my command or with your consent."
Dane: "I don't believe you give up a good plane, a plane that can fly in and out of the wind and snow at any time, and the right to use this plane belongs to the Grand Council, okay?"
Edward couldn't hold back: "Mr. President, the special operations team with me can help, we just need to use the plane a few times."
Dane was indifferent: "No! You false allies who only flattered Keelin a few days ago, you have no right to put conditions on me."
Edward almost didn't jump: "You guys! You did this to me! After the wind and snow came, I kept asking for support for our supplies and let us build our own base, but you just wanted all our cabinet and staff to come here, so our country's rescue of the people is still very slow, and more than half of our people are still struggling in the snow!"
Xiaohe lowered his eyelids in his outburst, and quickly raised his smiling face: "I still support President Dane."
Nanmi: "Me too."
Edward couldn't hold back, and he was furious: "We discussed it just now, but if they don't really treat us, we will part ways, and what you take will change the hexagram!"
Xiaohe: "Prime Minister, please think that we are still in his base, and he has just signed the Cosmic Covenant, and he has considered the identity of the signatory before signing it."
Edward's eyes rolled and he exclaimed, "No, no, our Great Bull Country is also known as the Sun Country, and we are *** country!"
Dane politely said, "Prime Minister, Life Forever Investment Company can sign the convention on behalf of the world and aliens, and I can also sign the convention on behalf of the allies."
This. Joo was a little interested in his actions, and he nodded: "Okay, the person who gets the plane is a member of the Grand Council, and of course the right to use the plane belongs to the Grand Council."
When he said this, he walked out the door with his hands behind his back, and as he walked, he said coldly: "But the seizure failed, and according to the past examples of our country, the president is responsible for everything."
He opened the door and walked out.
Edward and the others were also in a hurry to think of something, and Dane said straightly, "I'm going to get to work, please go out too."
Edward shuddered, "You're rude to me like that."
Dane: "Get out, I need to be alone for a while."
Kowa, Nanmi and the others took Edward away.
Admiral Rogge was anxious at this point: "If the seizure fails, this is another opportunity for the Grand Council to impeach you and remove you."
Dane: "Don't think about this now, Admiral, you go and promise Yang Minghui that he can enter Area 1, and give him the relevant passwords of the three laboratories, and remind him that there may be abnormalities in the three laboratories, and if he can't get out, we will not be responsible."
Admiral Rogge was silent for a moment, "Yes."
He strode out.
Dane stood still until the office and its surroundings were so quiet, like a secluded forest at night, with birds sleeping and beasts crawling, that he took out his left hand, which he had kept in his pocket.
I was holding a note in my sweaty palm, and the note I was carrying was also half wet.
There was a string of numbers written on it, and this was the channel that Berhan had been contacted by someone after his death.
Dane didn't hesitate to connect.
......
HMS Queen.
Small living room for the cab.
The music was soft, and Yue Feng and Ye Lin were dancing.
Ye Lin raised her arm again to support Yue Feng's shoulder, and complained, "It's too high, coach, you're not a good dancer
Companion."
Yue Feng: "Please settle for the next dance you and Adam dance."
The butler's voice came in at once: "President Dane is calling on your other channels, the voice changer is ready."
Ye Lin looked at the live broadcast window on the wall: "Ace is still persuading Yang Minghui to restrain himself, and Unrestrained Fang Guo has not replied to him yet."
Yue Feng: "Take it in."
Dane's voice was a little embarrassed: "You have to help me."
Yue Feng: "Let me hear it first."
Dane: "You've got to help me get approval ratings."
Yue Feng: "Then I advise you to agree to Yang Minghui's conditions, as far as I know, he will only go to one plane, and he can only take away the materials of one plane at most, as long as the refined steel in the area he chooses is not very pure, you will lose more impurities, and the loss will be smaller."
Dane: "I've decided to promise him, but I know you have what it takes, and you can help me at this time."
Yue Feng: "Your plan?"
Dane: "First of all, I apologize for misunderstanding that you are the president of Endless Life Investment, and second, although I don't know your identity, I know that you can give a lot of food, and I just do! Of course I don't have proof."
Yue Feng: "Maybe it's because you heard my tone of worrying about food and clothing."
Dane: "Probably, I was talking to my allies with anxiety, and you weren't."
Yue Feng: "The superiors really have their own unique features, let's say, you want me to give you food, and then say to your party, in fact, you secretly persuaded Yang Minghui to exchange supplies with you?"
Dane: "My approval rating will go up all of a sudden, and the big council will only support me temporarily, won't it?"
Yue Feng continued to dance with Ye Lin and was silent for a while.
Dane: "You need me, I've got the handle in your hands."
Yue Feng: "I'm thinking, Mo Han has contacted you, you at least know that I am from the East and West Club, why don't you go to Mo Han for it, he also has a lot of food."
Ye Lin asked silently, "Does he have it?"
Yue Feng replied silently: "For example, the production line I want is in the snow outside, and he can exchange the production line for food with me."
Yelene: "That's just as well."
Dane: "I don't trust him, I'd rather trust you than I do, and if you're happy one day, remember to tell me who you are."
Yue Feng: "Every time you make a request, you should remember one thing,"
Dane: "Please."
Yue Feng: "You have to make me think about it, I can't just promise you."
Dane: "I'm anxious."
Yue Feng: "Why? Is there still Shaw now. Raid your office."
Dane: "No, he's on the run in the snow, I'm anxious that signing the Cosmic Pact won't hurt too many national interests, a small missile, and it didn't launch, it scared me into giving a lot of supplies, the big court won't let me go, and you will quickly lose the president you need."
Yue Feng: "I don't like to listen to threats, I just think that this planet is the best for peace, there should be a president who can talk peacefully with the Life Endless Investment Company, and Bohan also died for this, but I don't need to pay for you again and again for this matter."
Dane: "You mentioned that Berhan also died for it, and he must not die in vain."
Yue Feng sneered, "Heh."
He looked down and asked Yelin, "What do you say?"
Ye Lin replied to him silently: "Promise him, don't delay dancing with me, will he betray you, when the unrestrained country needs food, will you not give it?"
Yue Feng opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "You just said that I am not a good dance partner, and you don't want to dance with me."
Ye Lin beat him: "Promise him quickly, come and dance again."
Yue Feng: "Hello, Mr. President."
Dane: "I'm here, if you reject me, I'll kill myself, I want to use your means, you know that no candidate other than me is easy to handle."
Yue Feng: "For the sake of your life, I decided to give away some food as you said. As for your explanation
The origin is to exchange with Yang Minghui, and I will not object to it."
Dane: "Thank you, thank you, how long will it take to get the food?"
Yue Feng was serious: "Airplanes can only travel freely if they are invested in life, which is a bit difficult, and it is still the same sentence, you have to give me time."
Dane: "Okay, I'm sure you'll be as soon as possible, thanks."
Yue Feng: "Goodbye."
Dane suddenly said, "By the way, have you heard that there is a black market for the planes of Life Endless Investment?"
The corners of Yue Feng's mouth twitched and he stopped.
Ye Lin leaned on his arm, also listening intently.
Dane: "My staff is dealing with a man who claims to be a black marketeer."
Yue Feng: "Thank you, I'll pay attention."
Dane: "No thanks, goodbye."
The communication was interrupted, and Ye Lin glanced at Yue Feng's face: "Coach, can Yang Minghui's plane still come back?"
