The Marks of Intertwined Fates Chapter 117: The War of Faith (7)
"It's impossible, no, it's okay, it's okay," Harris muttered to himself, "It's impossible for the bigwigs in the council to guess what we can all guess." ”
"It is true that the parliament does not recommend the use of weapons of mass destruction for various reasons, and everyone tacitly exercises proxy warfare. The old nest of the rescue society, the nest sparrow is at a depth of dozens of meters underground, and the damage of nuclear weapons is mainly concentrated on the ground, so there is nothing to help underground, Zeus tungsten can be drilled, and marine disaster weapons are also OK, after all, the main city of Jingjiang is on the coastline. Livia scratched her head, "The main two weapons belong to the non-subjective weapons against the city and the island," the rest of the words did not continue, but everyone understood what they wanted to express.
"If I'm behind the scenes, and the nest is just a bait, do you think I'll care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool? These plague beasts, when dealing with them, obviously feel that they have their limitations, firstly, they attack indiscriminately, secondly, they are not easy to control, and thirdly, the 'curse' is always in a state of overflowing, and they must be centrally imprisoned through specific facilities, and at present, this kind of confinement facilities are not very convenient to move. Harris rubbed his pin-pricked whiskers on his chin, his mind drifting into the fierce confrontation that had preceded him. He was capturing every moment he had faced these horrible creatures before.
"Is there any way to lure the Clock Tower into using a weapon of destruction?" Harris paced back and forth in the room, "If the previous target was me, then, who is the target this time?" ”
"Heard?"
"No, he's just a side line, not of high importance, even if there is a mistake in the command this time and he is beheaded by the other party, the family will not be angry because of a side branch."
"Harris, I always felt that the people behind the scenes were targeting you Habsburgs. Every dish is just right for your taste. Guise said worriedly.
"There are still too few clues for me to piece together the whole thing, but I can also feel the strong Habsburg malice of the person on the other side." Harris clenched his fists.
"The Habsburgs now live abroad, and the old families or the new generation of plutocracy do not want you to return to the continent, especially those in the clock tower." Livia is not a simple scholar, but she still knows a little about the family genealogy of the intrigue inside the clock tower.
"Kavendi is like a Christmas present with a bow in front of your family, with delicate postcards and gorgeous and colorful bags, and it is hard not to be impressed by you old men who are high above you." Livia chuckled at the corners of her mouth.
"Yes, London without an outside colony is like a lion trapped in a cage." Harris nodded bitterly, "Africa and Southeast Asia have always been bridgeheads for the family's vain expansion, but Africa is home to the number one figure of the old Samsara organization, the Eller Consortium. I want to knock off a piece in his hand and take advantage of it, but it's not so easy. ”
Although the Eller consortium only occupies half of Africa, the Holy Church he fostered, the clock tower, has not been able to completely suppress it for half a century. Not to mention the financiers behind it. ”
"The situation in Southeast Asia is not much better, the forces on the various mountains are complicated, it is difficult to judge who is on whose side, in case of hitting the wrong person, it is easy to be criticized by the parliament, all kinds of pressure are very strong, and the Habsburgs are in a situation now, and they cannot establish a strong enemy; Only Kavendi has not been touched by all parties for the time being. Harris smiled bitterly, "Don't talk about those old things in the family, even I am moved, I came here this time, in the name of eradicating the beasts of the wasteland, in fact, there is a taste of investigation and pathfinding contained in it." ”
"Cavendi is rich in resources and covers a large area, as an overseas military base and resource collection point, it is the best, no one will let go of this cake."
"The only thing to worry about is that the geographical location is too far away, and it is too coincidental, here to Europe, sandwiched between the vast African continent, and want to fly over the heads of Elle and the Holy Church, hehe."
"It's because of this that the big names in the council have never started." "But you Habsburgs have no way out, do they?" ”
"Guise." Harris looked at him.
"You say."
"I want to stay, and when I'm almost recovered, I can start investigating the real purpose of the relief society and the people behind it. However, you also see that I am in this state now, and I need your assistance, as well as the assistance of the family behind you. ”
"It's been a long time since I've been out of the family, and you know what I hate most about that old man's face." Guise's face was as embarrassed as if he had eaten a big-headed fly, "I don't want to marry that woman, I'll go crazy." ”
"But the combination of the two of you, not only will the family power go back to the next level, but your next generation will also have the strongest bloodline." Christine didn't know when she walked in, and said heartlessly.
"Ruth, except for being a little nervous, is okay and beautiful." Christine added another output.
"It's not just neurotic, you don't know her, damn it, she's not just crazy, if it's crazy, I'll accept it, for the sake of the family, but she's ...... But she ......" Keith roared at first, like an angry male lion, and then he fell into decay, pulling his hair and muttering to himself, but unable to speak, "Anyway, she's not what you see from the outside world, she...... She...... Damn, I don't know how to describe it. ”
"Alright," Harris patted him on the shoulder in relief, "it's my fault, no one here is going to force you, just stay here." ”
"Harris, I'll help you find out the truth, but the family ...... Well, forget it, I'll talk to Jimny, but don't get your hopes up. ”
Jimny is Guise's younger brother and the future heir and patriarch of the family.
Harris went over and hugged him deeply, "Thank you, I thank you on behalf of my family, Guise. ”
"That's what you see." Gies smiled shyly and patted him on the back.
"Chatting, chatting, I feel like I'm off track," Livia spread her hands, "we were talking about the black dog." Harris, you said that after the black dog absorbed your nanounit, your curse was also sucked away? ”
"Yes, the pain was unbearable, but after the nano unit was peeled off, the pain was reduced." Harris nodded.
"If, my theory just now is true, the plague beast is a causal weapon, then theoretically, the nanounit, as a carrier, will not produce signs of weakening the effect because it is plundered by the other party, after all, the curse acts on the human body and not on the nanomachine."
"What do you want to say?"
"Contrary to physics and theology." Livia nodded, "What can go against physics and theology, or what can make rules?" ”
"God ———!!!"
...........
Port of Viralba.
It is more than 200 kilometres from the Gonfo Military Control Zone. It was extremely difficult to transport supplies, but it was the only deep-water port that could be found near Carterit.
Carteritt is an inland company and does not export to the outside world, so the location of the port does not matter, the seaport is newly built, the foundation is carried on the ruins of the original port, the gantry cranes and cranes are transported from Europe, the long coast is cleared, and the improvised warehouses are built.
There was only a lone modern-class cruiser moored on the sea, and there were several fishing boats nearby, all of which were provided by nearby organizations, but because of their tonnage, they could only be used as transport ships and could not be armed.
Hilde walks on the beach, which is exceptionally pure and white, a rare white sand beach with no plastic garbage and glass bottles thrown away, except for the occasional jagged rock.
Hilde and their staff team had just arrived this morning, and there were not many armed guards following them, just three off-road vehicles, and Guards Seven or Eight. The port of Viralba is located in the rear, and there is no need to worry about security, and there are more than 500 mercenary groups stationed here, and the guarded area is much smaller than the huge port of Verarbar in the old era, after all, a hundred years ago, the throughput of the port of Verarbar, even if it is not as large as the port of Wirt in Jingjiang, but the daily throughput is about 30 to 50 million tons.
The harbour city of Viralba, with a permanent population of around 700,000, has fled inland after the war, but the urban framework has been preserved.
The clock tower only intercepted a small area as a stationing point, and isolated barbed wire and high-voltage electricity were erected along the line, there were unmanned intelligent sentry guns at several intersections, and there were detection radars and Patriot anti-aircraft missiles in the four corners and central areas.
Heald and Buxton exchanged information as they walked. The waves washed over their feet, cool and refreshing.
"The final budget delivered was only 160 million faeri (author's note: the currency unit of the settlement of the powers, businesses, and families around the clock tower and its affiliated clock towers)."
"More than 3,000 mercenaries eat, drink, and Lazar, this amount of money is not enough for a round of artillery salvo." Hilde smiled contemptuously, "If you don't see a rabbit or an eagle, those people in the council are still only so big." ”
Buxton shook his head, "The salary of a mercenary is 200 feaeries a day, and the cost of an 85-pound shell is 500 feaere, hehe, what is this money for?" The daily consumption of ammunition alone cannot make up for it, let alone the aircraft artillery. ”
"I didn't expect much from them, but their discipline still lowered my perception of their bottom line." Heard thought it was a little funny.
"Since ancient wars, those who have dragged their feet have always been their own people." Buxton collapsed and expressed disdain for the disdain of these politicians.
"I'm afraid Zavrol can't hold it, you haven't sent reinforcements over, why?" Buxton staggered a step, walked behind, and turned his head to ask.
"I didn't expect them to hold on, but being able to hold on for a week really impressed me, and Carterit still has some people to bear." Heard pondered for a moment and smiled, "It's okay, the plan went smoothly." ”
"Plan?" Buxton hesitated for a moment, then turned to inquire about the past.
"Look, the people who are waiting are coming." Hilde smiled and stared out to sea. At the end of the field of vision, in the monstrous turbid waves, at the end of the sea, at the bottom of the sky, at the junction of the two, several vague figures swayed and revealed.
Buzz.
The sky vibrates, like countless finches returning late, covering the sky and covering the sun. There are more than 50 gunships, V22 Osprey, CH-47 Chinook, Ah-64 Apache and other old-era helicopters, as well as GZ-101 Dominator, wJ-51 Viking, DD-24 Suifire and other new-age fighters.
The hum spreads from the top of your head to all directions.
The vague figure at the end gradually took shape, and it was a ship with a huge deck and an island.
"Aircraft carrier!?"
