Chapter 80 There Are Principles, but Not Many
"Attention all units, it is now 9:50 a.m. Eastern Time, and there are only ten minutes left before the attack begins. All task forces, please report your combat readiness."
As the huge body of the Fire Chaser No. 1 rose vertically from the sea, the voice of FAMAS reached all soldiers through the full-channel communication.
"FAMAS is at the front? On the Fire Chaser No. 1?"
Mikael looked at Himiko and asked in surprise.
"Yes, he arrived last night."
As soon as Himiko finished speaking, Mobius curled his lips and said sarcastically:
"Of course he has to come. After all, some people have severely damaged the Herrscher. The Fire Chaser now has a chance to pick up the leak. Isn't it like a stray dog seeing a meat bone, rushing up to grab... Haha, grab the head? Then, with this record and the on-site video, they can ask the United Government for more power, funds, and equipment..."
"Doctor, please be careful about your words and deeds." Himiko winked at her, but her words were merciless.
"Why, is there no freedom of speech in this world?"
"No, of course...but..." Himiko raised her hand and quietly silenced the communication, "But he heard what I said just now..."
"..."
"Ah! What's wrong! The atmosphere between you is a bit solemn!"
Every time Ellie appears, it is sudden, and this time is no exception.
Every time Ellie appears, the timing is just right, and this time is no exception.
"Have you arranged for the survivors?" Mikael hurriedly changed the subject.
"Hmm~ Don't worry! I have arranged those who want to join the Fire Moth to the support company first, so that the manpower problem that Erwin has been complaining about has also been solved. Calculating the time, they should have brought other survivors to the survivor gathering point near Zijin City, right?"
"Where is Eden?" Mikael asked seemingly casually.
"Hey~ I did want to invite her to join the Fire Moth, but what did she say: Fire Moth only protects human civilization materially, I want to protect human civilization spiritually... Oh~ What a pity."
Mikael looked at her blue and pink eyes and blinked twice quickly.
Alicia responded without giving in.
In the command room of Fire Chaser No. 1, FAMAS was not as relaxed as Mobius imagined.
"FAMAS, there are still six minutes before the general attack begins... Hehe, this time, we have assembled almost all the military forces of mankind... Herrscher, hehe..."
FAMAS looked at Vashak across the table and said nothing.
"What's wrong? Shouldn't we be happy now? Humans can destroy the Herrschers by their own strength, and two Herrschers!" Vashak opened his arms, palms facing up, and lifted them up exaggeratedly.
"!" Famas slammed the table and stood up, "Two! Vashak, what do you mean!"
"What else do you mean? Of course, we should destroy the First Herrscher together?"
Vashak's eyes looked innocent, but on a face covered with scars, they instantly changed.
"The First Herrscher? Mikael... Vashak... You have a problem with your brain! You don't know anything at all!"
"Don't pretend, it's you, Famas, who has a problem with your brain! You were deceived by Mobius! You were bewitched by the Herrscher!"
"What about Himiko and Mobius?"
"They, as well as the Fifth Squad and the Herrscher, fought bravely until the last moment."
Famas's breathing suddenly became rapid. He coughed twice, tremblingly took out a small iron box from his pocket, took out a pill and put it in his mouth.
And Vashak just watched all this coldly, as if he was just a bystander.
"You didn't succeed in killing the poisonous pupa." Famas said.
"It doesn't matter. It's just a dispensable conspiracy. Now we have assembled nearly 20 aircraft carrier battle groups, thousands of the latest fighters, and the Fire Chaser 1... In addition, the completion of the Fire Chaser 2 has reached 70%. The General Staff has ordered the first team to drive it here as the second batch of offensive forces."
"You!" FAMAS covered his chest, his five fingers seemed to be embedded in his clothes.
He was very angry, not because Vashak and the General Staff joined forces to sideline him - his anger about this matter had been exhausted in the previous few months.
He was angry that Vashak and the General Staff were so crazy and left no room for maneuver -
"You have already emptied all the conventional military forces in the world! Now you have to transfer the last quick response team... What if there is an emergency!"
"This is not something you need to worry about. Besides... aren't the things that can cause emergencies all under our feet?"
FAMAS was furious for a moment, but he had nothing to say.
"Okay, time is almost up, Famas. Just follow the script we gave you... You see, as long as you shout the start of the attack, and wait until the Herrscher is eliminated, you will undoubtedly be the hero of all mankind. The United Government will commend you, and you can be promoted to the Secretariat to retire. After decades, the archives will be released, and you will undoubtedly be the biggest contributor to this battle. What do you think?"
"The truth will be revealed!"
Seeing that Vashak finally braised the chicken feet, Famas sneered in response.
He looked at this former subordinate of his, who was also the only survivor of the entire team in that disaster, but found that he knew too little about him now.
When did he hook up with the people in the United Government? Famas had no idea.
Now that I think about it, there are clues to many things. When he set up the Poison Pupa, it was for defensive purposes and because the Fire Moth was indeed short of funds in the early days, the Poison Pupa received very little funds. Whether it was personnel or equipment, Vashak had to raise them himself.
But the development momentum of the Poison Pupa far exceeded his imagination. He secretly asked someone to check the accounts, but found that every income came from a legitimate source, and all the flows of funds were recorded clearly.
He thought that Vashak was outstanding in ability, and he was afraid that he had been linked to certain forces at that time!
And now, he didn't even cover it up, and directly claimed that he wanted him to go to the secretariat of the United Government to retire!
"Okay, my old captain, there is only one minute left, get ready to give orders." Vashak urged mercilessly.
Famas leaned back in his chair, and all the past flashed through his mind.
"I am a principled person! I am a principled person!"
Famas repeated it twice in front of Vashak.
"But I don't have many principles..."
Vashak was stunned, and then he saw FAMAS suddenly lean forward and said in a light and fast voice: "I want to have a villa in Siberia, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, and North Africa."
Vashak was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect FAMAS to change so quickly, but this was a good thing, and he quickly agreed.
"Also, I have spent the first half of my life fighting the collapse, and I am over 50 years old and still not married. You have to introduce me to someone."
Vashak's face was very exciting for a while, but this was not a difficult task for him who held the poison pupa in his hand.
"Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that there were still 30 seconds left in the countdown, FAMAS hesitated and modified the conditions:
"I want at least one...ban in each villa?"
"Hahahahahaha! You really are, old and strong!" Vashak laughed unscrupulously, and laughed so hard that FAMAS's cheeks turned red, and he could only close his eyes to avoid the other party's ridicule.
He was a little unwilling, but not much. Herrscher, Honkai, and the intrigues between people, he is tired of it all.
Now he only needs to shout the word "attack" in the communication, no matter whether the human race wins a big victory or a tragic victory, he can rest assured...
As for failure?
It's just two Herrschers. This may be a difficult battle for humans, but it won't destroy the world. Humans have their own foundation-he knows this better than anyone else.
As for the losses... After he leaves, no matter how big the flood is...
"I'm sorry, Mikael... Mobius... Himiko..."
"I really envy you people with strong wills..."
Perhaps as Vashak said, he is a hypocritical person after all, no different from Vashak.
Instead, Mobius, who has never gotten along with him, has become the object of his envy at this moment.
Eh? Why envy?
The countdown is reset to zero.
"Attack!"
Famas shouted righteously in the communication.
The first batch of fighter planes were quickly launched and circled over the fleet, waiting for the subsequent formation to take off.
At the same time, in Shenzhou, Siberia, Australia, America... nearly 100,000 strategic missiles carrying conventional warheads were launched, and they will strike the entire Canghai City in batches - regardless of East City or West City.
The rails of all the orbital guns of Zhuhuo No. 1 lit up with a blue light, and the Lorentz force pushed the huge shells out quickly. East City was immediately covered by the rising dust.
Even across a river, Mikael could hear the faint wail of Shesha mixed in with the sound of the guns.
At this moment, a thunder rumbled.
It came quickly and went quickly, and coupled with the overwhelming artillery fire, it hardly attracted anyone's attention.
But this thunder did not escape Mikael's capture.
He had long expected this possibility -
Is the injury of the Herrscher definitely not repaired?
Can it really not turn into lightning and jump out of the encirclement of humans?
He quickly turned his head to look at Ai Li, who happened to look at him in sync.
Then, he once again showed that long-lost gentle smile.
Ai Li, who was laughing, felt uneasy, and couldn't stop the ominous premonition.
The next moment, a scream came from the public channel:
"This is the third team of Changkong City...ah...zizizi..."
