Chapter Eleven The Eve of the Meeting(1/2)
Xingjun, Ocean City.
More than a century ago... to be precise, 118 years ago, the city was destroyed in a major disaster; however, time quickly wiped away these scars, and less than fifteen years later, it returned to its former prosperity and once again became a pearl on the east coast of Xingjun.
However, in the current war-torn times, this city, which mainly produces gambling and tourism, inevitably... has fallen again.
The powerful people who once spent money here have now hid in Crystal County and dared not come out even if they take a step.
And those middle-class people who came here for vacation all year round were already no longer left - the wealthier people were busy exchanging their various properties for "hard currency" such as jewelry or gold bars, and fleeing their families to the territory they believed to be "safe". Among the other people who have less political sense or do not have so much property, there is basically no stranger who will leave their families for vacation during the war.
In short, with almost no customer sources, the hotels, scenic spots, casinos, bars, etc. in the city, and all the entertainment and service industries have experienced a large-scale depression, followed by a wave of bankruptcy and layoffs... and most of the practitioners who have lost their jobs can only choose to leave the city.
This place became a "waste city" without realizing it.
The only residents gathered in the southwest suburbs, far from the center of the city.
Those luxury hotels, large casinos, luxury shops, docks parked on yachts... The former luxury place has now been occupied by homeless people, alcoholics, thugs, and robbers.
The valuable things in the city, from luxury cars and furniture to wine glasses and vases, were either destroyed or moved away or sold. Those who stayed there and could not be moved away were occupied by the guys who occupied the mountain as king.
The federal police have long lost control of this place. In fact, it is already great that they can manage the suburbs well and prevent the surrounding people from being harassed by the thugs in the city.
For these police officers who are still staying in Ocean City, what they are most looking forward to now is to resist the organization to quickly take over the city so that they can put less pressure on them.
…………
2219, October 31, late at night.
On the narrow and long beach on the east coast of Abusican Island, three figures in diving suits emerged from the sea and quietly came ashore.
As you can see from your figure, they were two men and one woman.
"Haha..." The man in the lead took off his diving mask and gasped for air with the smell of sea water. At the same time, he used his brutal vision that could see through the darkness and quickly confirmed the surrounding situation. Then he raised his left wrist and said to a watch-shaped communication device, "Second Team, this is the 'pioneer'. We have logged in and no abnormalities have been found yet, over."
While he said this, the man who landed with him took off his diving mask, and the woman... Although she was wearing a diving suit, she did not wear a diving mask and had no oxygen supply equipment on her back. Even her capable short hair was dry after getting ashore and was not touched by water at all.
"This is the second team. The micro-drone shows that there are life-forms in the building complex ahead of you. Please confirm and clear it, over." A few seconds later, all three of them heard this response from the communicator hidden in their ears.
"I understand, execute immediately and contact me later." While replying, the man had removed the oxygen cylinder on his back and threw it back into the sea.
The other two also did the same thing silently, and then the three of them took advantage of the night to slowly approach a building that was only one street from the beach.
Their movements were very fast and quiet, of course this was also what it should be... because these three were the captain of the "Ying Shi" of the Eas Elite Combat Force, and the deputy captains, Gu Ge Ning; asking the three of them to handle such a reconnaissance mission is undoubtedly a waste of their ability.
However, if we consider the "linearization" of this action today, there is actually nothing wrong with it.
At this moment, in a submarine a few kilometers away from the coastline, in the "Second Team" that was about to land, there were not only the "Yingshi" team members transferred from EAS, but also the combat elites in the FCPs, the strong men of the Federal Army's capable combat troops, and high-level combatants from the EF and Supervisors organization.
All of them are capable people, mutants, or transformers...
There are three people who serve as the commander and combat support of this team: the first one is Gusa Westum, known as the "first general of the Federation Army", the second one is ef "factory director" and Alex Burgess; the third one is the number one combatant organized by the Supervisor, "King of Agents"-n.
The above masters are almost all the trump cards of the Federation except for the regular army and the guards. Of course, tonight's mission is indeed worthy of letting them all out.
According to "Longjing", this is an action that "can end the war overnight"; as long as they can take advantage of the opportunity of convening a "conference" against the cross and defeat all the heads and minds of the rebel organizations in one go, the Federation can turn defeat into victory.
This statement seems to make some sense, but most of those truly smart people don’t believe it.
Although history sometimes changes due to the behavior or life or death of one or two people, or even one or two little people, the current Federation may not be preserved in this way.
But these people came after all.
Some of them are indeed to be loyal to the Federation, and some are just going with the flow and have no choice...
…………
At the same time, Harry W. Kelly Memorial Bridge.
Dozens of black luxury cars are driving eastward on the bridge deck.
This convoy consists of the most powerful group of abilities among the "Iron Blood Alliance" and the "Cossack Rangers"; and in the middle of the car is the current leaders of these two rebellious organizations.
The current commander-in-chief of the Iron Blood Alliance is Boris Sidor Molozov. He was originally just a lieutenant colonel in the rebel army. On the day the "Iron Curtain Flame" happened, he happened to be away from the scene, so he survived. Later, during the period when the Federation vigorously cleared the rebellion organization, he had been hiding in North Africa, living under the protection of the "Soul of Berber", and even daring to contact his old subordinates.
But with the "Last Federal Dinner" by the Anti-Cross Director, Boris realized that his opportunity had come, and suddenly returned to Shuangying County, and in the name of "the Supreme Commander of the Iron Blood Alliance", he began to deal with his old subordinates in an extremely high-profile manner, expand his power, and win over the people's hearts...
He knew very well that their "former deputy commander" Zaitsev, or "former federal agent" Mahaus Prato, could not compete with him politically; even if Prato has turned against him now and has stood up to accuse the Federation... But the fact that he had been undercover for the Federation for many years would not change.
Compared with generals like Boris who came from the grassroots level of the Iron Blood Alliance and climbed up step by step, Prato's reputation is not right and his words are not right.
As a result, Boris successfully became the commander-in-chief of the Iron Blood Alliance, while Prato... was no longer recognized his position and became a marginal person who only wanted to take in the cross.
On the other hand, let’s talk about the leader of the Cossack Rangers.
This is not unfamiliar to us, and that aunt Hannah Medvedeva, who served as the "interim commander" of the Cossack Rangers in the Battle of Narvik.
Now, she has successfully taken office and has become the official commander of the organization.
Since the Cossack Rangers had taken action as early as the "Nine Prison Incident" and were the first organization to stand up to fight the Federation head-on in the early stages of the war. They were also one of the most severely damaged organizations in the "Iron Curtain Flame", so the support they received among the people was also very high.
Since June, the Rangers have developed and expanded rapidly with Blue Shield County. Up to now, they have a large number of territory in the central and western Eurasia. They not only have strong military strength, but also have many supporters. They can be said to be the strongest resistance organization on the books. Compared with the scale that could only be brothers for other organizations back then... the Rangers are now even more powerful than the Iron Blood Alliance in terms of strength.
And Hannah, the Ranger Commander-in-Chief, has naturally had his own ideas and ambitions.
Although both she and Boris were still obedient to the cross on the surface, they already felt that in their hearts that an organization that operates by a few elites would not be able to ride on us forever.
Now, the Federation has become a flower tomorrow, and every organization is making its own small calculations; Hannah and Boris understand that the meeting that the Anti-Cross invites them to attend will most likely turn into a negotiation on how various forces can divide the world.
Therefore, they secretly contacted each other before the meeting; after some bargaining, the two hit it off and became allies.
In their opinion, the alliance between the Iron Blood Alliance and the Cossack Rangers is a feat that lays the foundation for the general trend of the world.
First, the combat power of the two organizations can be combined into one place to ensure their safety when attending this "conference".
Secondly, at the negotiating table, the two can also help each other and gain more benefits for each other.
Third, if we have to solve the problems that cannot be solved at the negotiation table in the future, the two organizations can also advance and retreat together; at that time, the Rangers will swallow Europe to the west, go south to North Africa, and the Iron Blood Alliance will lead the East Asia and aim at the Americas... Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the two sides divided the world in two parts?
Of course, whether these steps can be implemented and how they will be implemented depends on how the meeting was held, but one thing is certain - they will no longer let the Contra-Cross be the "Great Emperor" on their heads.
They weren't afraid of being discovered and they formed an alliance. They were even happy to let others know this because it was also a way to put pressure on them.
So, they met in Baltimore yesterday, took the land route and drove to Ocean City.
…………
On the other hand, it was also on this night.
Above the Atlantic Ocean, an aircraft with optical camo and anti-detection systems turned on is approaching Ocean City in "stealth mode".
The current commander of "Berber's Soul" Uvith Summons the Horse is on the plane.
Uvi's Swallow Horse is not the full name of the commander, his full name... If he wants to pronounce it in full, it will take nearly twenty seconds; even he himself feels powerless to complain about the naming method passed down by his ancestors who don't know how many generations it has been, but thinking about it, it seems a pity to break it here for many generations, so he just endured it... But in fact, he has always used the simplified name "Uvi's Swallow Horse" (that is, the first few syllables of his full name), and no one can recite his full name except himself.
It's a bit far-reaching, get back to the point...
Uvitonma was also the leader of the rebel army who rose to power after the "Iron Curtain Flame". His predecessor Commander Gasili just disappeared when the Iron Curtain Flame occurred and did not die. However, because Gasili was unpopular, Uvitonma easily seized the throne while he was missing.
On the night of the Battle of Narvik, Gasili was killed by Sophie Claremont, the deputy warden of the former nine prisons who had already turned to the cross, or "being suicide"... This matter naturally came to Uvetma's ears (Hanna intentionally released the news).
Logically speaking, Uvitonma should have thanked Nishishi for helping him get rid of this trouble, but for his political interests, he finally acted like an indignant attitude that even his confidants around him did not believe in him... and publicly rebuked Nishishi severely.
After that, he published a series of public relations words, which roughly means: "Gasili is our leader. When he is away, I will only take care of the organization for a while and I still believe in his position in my heart. You dare to kill the commander of our Berber soul at will. I will definitely settle the account with you! But before the collapse of the Federation, we are both rebel organizations, so we must put the overall situation first and do not fight in the internal struggle. So when we divide the interests in the future, I will settle the score with you. Don't forget what you owed us."
In short, Uvitonma felt that this meeting was when he asked the "request for the account" of the Contra Cross. He used the death of the "former commander" he had originally planned to kill, and to snatch the Contra Cross. No matter how he calculated it, it would be no loss.
But he was not a fool, and knew that things were not that easy. After all, it was not only Berber's soul to resist the organization, and they were not the strongest... So, this time he was also ready to tear his face and brought all the strongest abilities in the organization on the plane as his bodyguard.
In addition, Uvi Tunma himself is also a strong and powerful person, so he is quite confident that he can gain something from this trip.
…………
At night, 11 o'clock, Ocean City Beach Plaza Hotel, rooftop.
Ziqi leaned on the guardrail on the edge of the rooftop and looked at the night sky and the sea.
Behind him, a middle-aged man dressed in a well-decorated manner stood with his hands behind his back and said something.
The man didn't say it for too long, and he finished it in a short while.
After hearing this, Ziqi turned around, leaned against the railing, and spoke, "So... Mr. Xiahou means... "Yashan is willing to bow down to us, right?"
The man he called "Mr. Xiahou" was called Xiahou Yan.
"Yes." Xiahou Yan answered very quickly, obviously he had already considered it clearly.
"Well..." Ziqi nodded, "The leader of 'Yashan' came alone without any guards or weapons, and said these words to me in person... This sincerity is indeed convincing."
"So... can I think, Lord Zilin, you have accepted my surrender from Yashan?" Xiahou Yan continued to ask.
"I... have only one problem." Kosui followed.
"May I ask." Xiahou Yandao.
"Why are you still standing?" Ziqi asked.
Xiahou Yan, but he didn't know how to answer.
But he soon understood the meaning of this sentence.
“No need.”
The next second, Xiahou Yan was about to kneel down, but Ziqi's words stopped him.
"It's too late, it's useless." After a breath, Ziqi answered this sentence again.
To be continued...
