Chapter 278: Saint Wei
The deck of the aircraft carrier Stennis is much larger and more lively than that of the Liaoning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Captain Gregory was so busy that he couldn't help complaining, "Why did you send so many people? This is using my warship as a circus!"
He did have a reason to be impatient. Under the direct instruction of the president, the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet Command in Honolulu continued to "increase troops" to his fleet.
Batches of "civilians" of unknown origin boarded the aircraft carrier, dressing up the steel monsters that they usually slaughtered as carnivals.
Looking at the fighters that had been temporarily moved to the lower hangar by the lifting platform, the captain was furious. "Give me the satellite phone, and I will speak directly to the Minister of Defense to protest against this stupid nonsense!"
"No need. "It was not Bill, the deputy captain, who answered him, but Defense Commissioner Power. "General Gregory, this ship is under your command, yes. But the entire battlefield is not your responsibility. As part of the new form of warfare, you must obey and cooperate. ”
No one dared to argue with the captain on this aircraft carrier, and Gregory's eyes widened, "Any war is an ensemble of iron and blood in the final analysis! Don't tell me you know more about war than I do!"
"It's a pity......" Bauer's chest splint has not been removed, but the injuries sustained by the caliph are already recovering. "At present, this war has long been out of the category of iron and blood, strictly speaking, this is an 'unrestricted war'. The protagonists are not you and me, but the media and communication industry. ”
"Don't talk about those nihilistic concepts, only soft eggs hide behind the scenes and make small moves. With the current strength of our army, we can fight in any corner of the earth!"
"Please lend me a conference room, and I'll explain everything to you......"
After Bauer showed the latest faxed legal authorization documents of the Ministry of Defense, the ship's face turned blue and he had to follow everyone to the venue.
......
"The Knife Room" is another name for Chamber Four, not an allusion to the saber-rattling orders issued here. Instead, in this hall, there is actually a Japanese saber on display. It was an enemy command knife captured by Captain Gregory's father during World War II while serving in the Navy.
Unlike his son, Gregory Sr. was part of the Marine Corps and was very brave in the landing on Iwo Jima. And now the captain of the ship, Gregory II, no longer needs to charge against bullets. But the courage inherited by the family is still flowing in the blood.
After listening to Lieutenant Bill's introduction to the history of the sword, Bauer asked, "Why is such a meaningful collection so rusty?"
The captain rolled his eyes, "That's not rust, it's blood." Its original owner was defeated and seppuku, and he first used a short knife to cut three times in a row without losing his breath, which was really painful, and finally the 'wrong person' standing on the side swung this blade to cut off his head, and then he was satisfied. ”
Bauer subconsciously retracted his rusty fingers, took out a handkerchief and wiped it vigorously. "Strange Japanese ......"
This comment resonated with the captain for the first time, and Grigory cursed, "The most ridiculous thing is that these perverted guys have now climbed on our heads and commanded us!"
Ball was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was referring to the commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral Harris.
"Hehe, you're wrong about him. The plan in front of him was not decided by him alone. He, like you and me, is just an important piece in the game. Alright, let me formally introduce the participants—"
There were already seven or eight people sitting in the room, all silent, no one talking.
Ball stood at the oval conference table and pointed to his left, "You've all met, our head coach, Mr. Bill." ”
The white-bearded old man who was introduced did not move at all, and never seemed to smile.
"Coincidentally, the same name as our co-captain. Grigory laughed.
"Oh no. Ball shook his head, "I don't mean to offend the promising vice-captain, but his Bill is too far less well-known than this Bill......"
"Really?" said Grigory, with a skeptical expression, "not necessarily. How come I haven't heard of any other more awesome Bill? Except for former President Bill Clinton. ”
"He's Buffalo Bill. Bauer spat out the words softly.
"What? the one who created the myth of the West? it can't be!" said Grigory, flatly, "that old fellow, if I'm not mistaken, would have lived to be one hundred and sixty or seventy years old." ”
"You're not mistaken. Coach Whitebeard spoke for the first time, "It's exactly one hundred and seven this year. He took out a crude cigar from his bosom, stuffed it between his teeth, and immediately polished the lighters at the same time by at least two strong men beside him.
He took two puffs and spat out a large smoke ring, "Given my qualifications, let me continue with it." It's all juniors here, and I grew up watching you. ”
"This ...... Is this a joke?" the captain was shocked by his style.
No one paid attention to him, and the old man pointed out the country while swallowing clouds and spitting fog. "As you know from the books, I made a name for myself during the Civil War as an Army Scout Captain, Stagecoach Rider, Farm Operator, Frontier Settler, American Bison Hunter, and Circus Producer.
In 1917, I faded from public view and declared that I was dead. But in fact, it was entrusted by President Wilson at the time to secretly set up the Shanton Bureau.
This department, with the purpose of territorial strategic defense and logistics support, includes all the top elites of America.
These people are unruly and have a very strong anarchist mentality. But in the end, I could not refuse the temptation I offered, and that was eternal life.
Now, for example, the guy on my left hand who has just boarded the ship, codenamed 'Silicon'. ”
The person who was introduced had just extinguished the lighter, and when he heard the roll call, he immediately put his arms on the table quietly, his body shook slightly, and the two arms instantly turned silver, and the all-steel lighter in his hand was paralyzed and melted into his arm in two seconds.
The flint and oil wool were removed as impurities, turned into a flame, and quickly burned out.
"It's a liquid metal material," the head coach explained, "don't be fooled by its appearance, it's not soft, it's hard. ”
In line with his explanation, the strong man named "Silicon" turned his arm into a slender silver blade in an instant, the tip of which extended all the way to Gregory, and gently descended on everything.
With a click, the sword displayed on the conference table was cut off and fell from the knife holder. The whole process is easier than cutting cheese.
Captain Gregory was dumbfounded, "You...... I...... This ......"
Buffalo Bill turned a blind eye, "The one on my right, codenamed 'Tarantula', was captured by some of them, and his deeds were drawn into caricatures and films. ”
The man smiled slightly, and like lightning, a transparent filament bounced from under his wrist, striking the broken knife of the sword, licking it quickly, shrinking in reverse, and then disappearing.
Senior Agent Bauer leaned over and grabbed two severed blades, and made a pair of them along the stubble to the middle. Then he waved it casually with one hand.
The shadow of the knife passed everywhere, the wind was sassy, and the blade was intact as before, as if it had never been injured.
The captain seems to have lost the ability to speak, "this...... You...... I ......"
"That fat guy across the street - you can call him 'Postman.'" Buffalo Bill continued, "The code name doesn't come from his penchant for ringing the doorbell twice. His peculiarity lies in the precision of the delivery......"
The fat man was a black man, not only fat, but also tall. The huge body was stuck between the seats, almost bursting open.
Hearing the introduction, he stretched out a carrot-like finger and quickly slid through a bag of popcorn in front of him, and a grain of popcorn popped out quickly, shooting in all directions, some hitting the wall, some hitting the ceiling, some hitting the coffee pot, and some hitting the chandelier......
Surprisingly, no matter where they went, they all folded to one point after the rebound, and that was the large horsemouth cup in front of the captain!
Crackle, bar, dingdong, grunt......
After the dazzle, the rim of the cup was already overflowing, but none of them fell off the table.
The fat man's front was empty, and he quietly sucked his fingers and licked the sugar clean.
The head coach laughed silently, "It's a boring little trick, but it's just right for the task at hand." ”
Captain Gregory finally regained his vocal function and cleared his throat, "Ahem--interesting! It's wonderful! It seems better if it were used to play billiards." ”
"That's right. The fat man pulled his fingers out of his mouth, "I've made hundreds of millions of dollars by gambling with fancy nine-balls." In my eyes, the basket is simply the sea. ”
This arrogance amused everyone.
"You're not dazzled by the last two—they do look exactly the same, because they're twins. ”
The two handsome young men at the end of the table were both with thick curly hair and a brownish glow on their skin, with distinctly Latino characteristics.
They nodded their heads in turn and reported their names.
"Salazar. ”
"Garcia. ”
Then, the young man who called himself Garcia got up and walked up to Bauer, "Lend this knife in your hand and take a look." ”
Bauer smiled and cooperated, and took a step back after handing it out.
Garcia held the knife in both hands and seemed to admire, "Good knife! Good knife!"
Suddenly, there was a void in his hand, and the knife disappeared out of thin air.
This scene happened in front of the captain's eyes, and it seemed more and more weird. Suddenly, I heard a young man claiming to be Salazar in the distance say loudly, "It's good, but it's a pity that the smell of blood is a little heavier......"
By the time they had followed the reputation, the knife was already in Salazar's hand, and he held it in the same position as his brother. If you ignore the difference in spatial location, you can't tell who is who!
"Hehe, do you see clearly? Any one of them can teleport to the other in the blink of an eye with any object. There is no intermediate trajectory, so there is no way to intercept it at all. They are one, so they share the same code name - 'Express'. ”
Gregory was not stupid, and slapped his thigh excitedly, "If this is used to pass the ball, it is not invincible!"
Buffalo Bill shrugged his shoulders and made a "who's to say no" expression on his face. Then he added, "Before, the skeleton would send those reckless men, but they were just low-level thugs, who relied on injections and medicines to get to the top of the ranks, and their bodies were strong, and they were no problem to deal with ordinary sailors in the Celestial Empire."
However, I found out in the last game that they also had at least two psychic abilities on their team, and they even secretly fought against me. In the end, it was a fluke.
Therefore, I asked the elders of the Bright Sect to jointly approve and directly use the reserves of our Shandun Bureau. Let's make them the main starters in the next game to make sure nothing goes wrong.
――If I'm not mistaken, the next game of the Celestial Empire will definitely be elite. We must not be careless. ”
Captain Grigory had weakened when he heard that he had openly mentioned the "Skull Society". When Tuer heard the word "Bright Sect" again, he almost urinated.
"Dear Mr. Buffalo Bill, you said that you are the founder of the Shanton Bureau, I believe you. You said you were an Immortal Sage, and I believe it. But how did you manage to be moved by such an existence that was above the supreme peak of the Bright Sect elder layer?"
Buffalo Bill's white beard was slightly upturned, and he gritted his tooth sockets, and a golden light burst out on his forehead, flashing a number with a circle—33.
Poof!
The captain, who also had white hair, crawled on the floor and said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive me for being blind and neglecting these days......! From now on, the command of this ship will be handed over to you!"
"Hehe-he-what do I want you to do with the command of the broken aircraft carrier? Just do the work of the wage earner, just do it...... There are no outsiders here today, and I know very well that you and your co-captain are members of the Skull and Bones Society. The resolutions of our elders still depend on you, the juniors, to implement them. ”
The captain is sixty years old, compared to the one hundred and seventy years old in front of him, he is willing to be a junior without grievances.
However, Gregory was still a little puzzled, so he raised his head and said, "It's just a ball game, why bother to have a thirty-third level Grand Elder personally come to this ship......?" It's too hard for you, isn't it?"
"Nope. Buffalo Bill slashed the air with one hand, and an irresistible force lifted Grigory straight from the ground and stood still. "The game may seem like a small thing, but it's about our strategy for the whole world.
The order advocated by the world for America has drifted away and gradually lost the respect it deserves. Dai Isetan has sent a nuclear bomb to our homeland, and the Celestial Empire Daomen is also ready to move.
The Council of Elders is determined to break with the norm and bring about a vigorous and shocking event to revive the power of God!"
