"Baron Humphrey, do you mean that if we want to go to the universe, we must go to Mexico?" Captain Shepard asked.
"That's right, there is an airport in Mexico at the Moore Chamber of Commerce, which can allow this battleship to complete the modification to go to the universe."
Captain Shepard frowned and sighed and asked: "I'm afraid this journey won't be easy. Now the entire territory of Mexico is occupied by the New Republic of Gran Colombia (RC), and RC is an ally of HER. You are the one we have to Traveling through enemy-occupied territory..."
Baron Humphrey smiled and pointed to the location of the Moore Chamber of Commerce Commercial Port on the AR map, "You don't have to worry too much about this. Since RC's alliance with HER, all major forces have cut off business dealings with them. They can only We rely on our Chamber of Commerce as a transit platform for trade. Therefore, our commercial port is an absolutely neutral area, and I will communicate with several major RC warlords to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Captain Shepard was speechless when he heard Baron Humphrey openly admitting that the Moore Chamber of Commerce was helping HER's allies trade. It seems that in the eyes of businessmen, there is nothing wrong with helping the invaders as long as they can make money. But now we still have to rely on Baron Humphrey for help, and Shepard can only pretend not to hear.
"In that case, I will follow your instructions and go to the Moore Chamber of Commerce in the suburbs of Chihuahua, Mexico. But before that, the Osiris and the submarines of the New Muscovy Principality will escort the leader of the North American Rescue Federation, Kobe. .Jordan will go to Portland, and after completing this operation, he will reroute to Mexico. During this period, I will leave my contact with RC to you, Your Excellency, Baron."
"I obey my command, Major General."
Baron Humphrey bowed gracefully and exited the bridge. As soon as he went out, he dialed Thomas More's phone number with the smart gold watch on his wrist.
"Mr. President, I am Humphrey. According to your instructions, I have taken the Osiris to the universe, and I guarantee that everything will be safe."
"Very good...Have you met the young man named Lin Ao? What is your impression of him?"
"I met him once. Although he is a warrior, he is still childish. Although I don't know why you pay special attention to him, President, but you will be able to see him in the business soon."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Goodbye, Mr. President."
Humphrey turned off the communication and left humming a piece from the opera "The Flying Dutchman."
…
In the South American city of Asunción, citizens are holding a grand "Festival de Bolivar." This festival commemorates Bolivar, the liberator of South America hundreds of years ago. He once expelled the colonists of South America and established the independent country "Gran Colombia". He is known as the liberator of South America. But neither he nor the republic he founded was false, and the Republic of Gran Colombia soon split into South American countries. Although Bolivar did not complete his ideal of establishing a republican South American country, his ideas have always impressed the South American people in subsequent history. After other countries in the world began to enter the space more than 200 years ago, in order to catch up, the countries in South America chose to pool resources and reunited together to establish the "New Republic of Gran Colombia". Bolivar's ideas made a huge contribution to this, so the participating countries all regard Bolivar as the father of the country.
On both sides of the Paraguay River in Asunción, citizens went out with their families and families in costumes, waving the RC tricolor flag in their hands, and enjoyed the flower boats and the music of the bands on the river in an orderly manner. Both sides of the river were filled with cheers Laughter.
"It's incredible. Even though the entire earth is at war, people are still so keen on the holidays, and their enthusiasm is even higher than in peacetime. Is this phenomenon the same as the fact that in peacetime, when the economy is in recession, people look forward to Christmas more? ?”
A blond military officer wearing glasses was sitting on a sofa in the former "mayor's office" in Asunción City Hall, watching a broadcast of festive footage on his mobile phone and talking to himself. Now the mayor's office has been turned into the office of a senior general of the RC military. The original mayor was kicked out, so the man with glasses in military uniform can sit here casually.
"Captain Homer, I'm sorry to have called you here during the holidays."
The door to the office was pushed open, and a fat man with curly black hair wearing a black general's uniform and a chest full of colorful medals walked in. Hearing the fat man's voice, the bespectacled Captain Homer immediately stood up and saluted.
"General Francisco Lopez, as a soldier, you are always on call. It is an honor for me to serve you!"
"No need to hold back, Captain."
Although General Francisco was wide and fat, he walked with great grace. Seeing him walk behind the desk and sit down, Homer asked: "General, don't you prepare a speech to the people in an hour?" ?”
Francisco leaned back: "I left it to the mayor of Asunción. Even if their politicians have achieved nothing, they only need to coax the people to keep their positions. Our military position is maintained by military merit. "
Hearing what Frascisco said, Homer thought to himself: "You fat guy just wants to be lazy. You are usually more diligent in going to the media than those politicians."
"Captain, look at this."
Francisco threw a report in front of Homer. Homer picked it up and flipped through a few pages before asking in disbelief: "What!? Is this news reliable?!"
Francisco smiled proudly: "It's reliable. The source is someone from within the North American Rescue Alliance. Someone sold the Osiris for money."
"The Osiris that killed General HER Sasaki? They are going to Chihuahua, Mexico soon? That is the area we are responsible for!"
Since HER began to invade North America, their ally RC took the opportunity to occupy the entire territory of Mexico and irregularly divided its territory among several RC warlords. The city of Chihuahua happened to be Francisco's occupied area.
"Captain, what do you think?"
Homer thought for a moment: "General, I don't think we need to worry, just let them pass. The Intelligence Riosiris will go to the Moore Chamber of Commerce's commercial port, which is not under our control, and there is no need for us to cause this trouble. "
"Your law is the same as my staff, but Captain..." Francisco suddenly stood up and proudly patted the many medals hanging on his chest: "...I am Francisco Lopez! General of RC! Media! People call me the Napoleon of South America! But in fact, I have never fought a decent war, which really doesn’t live up to my reputation!”
Homer knows what Francisco is thinking. The so-called decent war refers to a war that will gain great fame. His boss Francisco may not be the most capable of the warlords who control RC's military, political and business affairs, but he is definitely the one who wants to be famous the most. In other words, every time Francisco dreams, he thinks about how to leave his name in history, and it must be particularly famous.
"...Captain, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The Osiris crossed the North American continent and killed the HER general, and is now very famous. And our allies also hate this ship! If we can destroy the Osiris Not only will it become famous all over the world, even Emperor Frederick the Great of HER may thank me personally!"
Thinking of this, Francisco's eyes flashed, but Homer still poured cold water on him.
"Sorry general, I don't recommend you do this. Our foreign trade relies entirely on the help of the Moore Chamber of Commerce. If we attack their commercial port, the Moore Chamber of Commerce will definitely stop cooperating with us. Several other generals will not give up. "
"Idiot! Who is going to attack the commercial port? I want to attack them before they arrive at the commercial port! Don't forget that Jacques is still in Chihuahua!"
Hearing this name, Homer opened his mouth in disbelief: "General, General, are you still going to use that ruffian? I admit that he is very capable, but... but his military discipline is so bad! He doesn't obey orders at all. !”
"I didn't obey your orders. This beast has been well tamed by me! I have already contacted Jacques and asked him to hold back the Osiris in the Copper Valley no matter what, waiting for my battleship to arrive and launch the final The victory charge!"
"What?! General, your battleship hasn't finished repairing yet. Jacques's team only has six humanoid weapons, and there are at least a dozen humanoid weapons on the Osiris. He can't survive when we arrive!"
"Jacques can do it! Okay, go and prepare the battleship for me!"
Homer exited the office in a panic. Francisco poured himself a cup of incense, looked up and admired the fireworks blooming in the night sky, with a confident smile on his lips.
