The yaks grazed leisurely on the green pasture, wagging their tails happily. It saw that the wall of the towering snow-capped mountain not far away suddenly cracked, revealing a huge cave. A giant silver bird in the sky slowly flew in... The calves in the herd were a little scared. This scene was an uneasy moo, but it didn't take it seriously because it had seen such scenes happen many times.
"The Osiris has entered orbit and is expected to enter the fortress in 2 minutes."
Li Youde looked at the secret fortress entrance spread out on the mountainside of Shishapangma Peak in front of him and said to himself: "Why do you like to dig fortresses in the snowy mountains now? I will inevitably be suspicious when I see the snowy mountains in the future..."
That's right, the secret meeting hosted by the Chang'an Cooperation Organization will be held in the giant fortress inside Shishapangma Peak in the Himalayas. It was extremely secluded here. If it weren't for the meeting, no one would know there was a fortress here except themselves. Secondly, this huge fortress is also showing its strength to the major forces.
"It's so big..."
Li Youde had to lament that it was not easy for the Chang'an Cooperation Organization to dig out a giant fortress in a mountain. Just one dock can accommodate ten of the largest ships in the world like the Osiris, and there are countless such docks in the entire fortress.
After docking, Jessica stretched and said, "When we were in North America with Captain Shepard, we visited a fortress hidden in a lake. It was quite large."
Li Youde asked doubtfully: "North American Rescue Alliance? Do they still have the financial resources and manpower to build a fortress in the lake?"
"No, it was the former North American force. The fortress was in disrepair and could not bear the ground-penetrating missiles and was flooded in the end."
"I see... this is in the mountains, so it should be very safe."
Colonel Chen Ma, who had been maintaining communication, interjected: "Yes, you are in the third dock now, and there are eight warships in the first dock where I am. We will defend this fortress together. And the entire Greek We have organized and deployed 50 Tiger Tigers and 30,000 officers and soldiers on Shabangma Peak and within a 10-kilometer radius, forming a tight defense line."
Zhang Lei, who was next to Chen Ma, said, "Well, the missions from each country will also bring one or two frigates. If something unexpected happens, we can fight together."
Chen Ma shook his head: "It's best not to trouble our guests. Well, Captain Li Youde, you have worked hard on this journey. From now on, you and your crew can move freely. Most areas of this fortress are open to you. "
"Are we going to wait here for the envoys from other forces to arrive? How long will it take?"
"It won't be long. The new EU mission will arrive soon. The meeting will be held on December 1 and will be officially announced to the outside world."
"Okay, thank you, Colonel Chen Ma, for your guidance and escort along the way."
"You're welcome. This is my mission. We will meet again during the waiting time. Let's have a drink when you have time!"
The communication was shut down. Li Youde looked at the map of the fortress sent by Chen Ma, scratched his chin and said: "It is said that you can move around freely, but this is still a military fortress. In addition to shops, bars, and libraries for soldiers to rest, there are also It’s nothing, these things are also available on the Osiris. Well, you don’t have to worry about fighting, it can be regarded as a vacation.”
Jessica said: "Then let's..."
Li Youde cleared his throat, picked up the phone and broadcast to the whole ship: "From now on, the Osiris will lift the martial law and enter a state of rest. Each department will arrange rest and work on its own!"
…
There are more than 800 crew members on the Osiris. Except for departments such as the kitchen and medical area, which cannot rest, the rest of the departments have basically entered a state of rotation. The most comfortable thing is for the soldiers. They can rest after completing training every day, and occasionally attending training courses does not take up too much time. Bars, restaurants, library areas, smoking areas and other recreational areas are full every day.
The same is true for Team Z. After daily training, Anton will arrange a simulated battle for about an hour, and then disband, and everyone will do their own thing. Natasha spends all day with Bart, and their relationship is made public; Anton will be dragged by Sima Xi, and together with Herodotus and Thucydides, he will teach him how to be a reporter, how to use a camera, etc. Knowledge; Edward spent every day in the bar, chatting or playing guitar on stage; Lin Ao rarely appeared in front of other people because he wanted to accompany Elizabeth.
"The spies you recruited... no, they are guards. They have limited activities every day and are monitored by soldiers with weapons. No complaints."
Lin Ao asked Elizabeth while ironing her clothes. Since Elizabeth did not bring a dress with her when she left New Rome, the Chang'an Cooperation Organization sent a set of clothes made by them. It was made according to the special female officer's uniform that Elizabeth had worn on TV. Yes, Lin Ao is ironing the cloak of this suit.
Elizabeth was trying on clothes. She said: "They said they had no complaints. Captain Li Youde allowed them to enter the bar for two hours every day, but they still had to be monitored and they were not allowed to come into contact with other people."
"There's nothing you can do about it...but how are you going to deal with them in the future? You can't always treat them like this."
Elizabeth thought for a while: "I will stay on the Osiris for a while. I really can't treat them like this all the time. I told them to endure it until the end of the meeting. When I made my position public, they would lose their past identities. , and there is no need to monitor them anymore.”
Lin Ao stopped ironing and said, "However, they cannot join this ship. There will still be some people on the crew who hate HER. Just don't have any conflicts in the future."
Elizabeth sighed: "I have promised to ensure their safety, but the relationship with the crew can only be reconciled step by step. I can't ask my cousin for a battleship. Even if he gives it to me, I still can't trust him to send it. people, and I can’t ask you to leave the Osiris. The current plan is to rely on the Osiris first.”
"Well, that's all."
Lin Ao continued to iron the cloak, and Elizabeth buttoned the last button on her clothes. Looking at herself wearing the familiar princess uniform again after many months, her mood suddenly became depressed. She turned around and hugged Lin Ao's arm tightly, nestled on his shoulder and said, "Dear, do you think my speech can really change the world?"
Lin Ao stopped what he was doing, held her in his arms and asked, "What's wrong? It's come to this."
"That's right...I'm actually nervous when I finally come here after going through so much. Although I'm mentally prepared to have little effect, I still hope that my speech can change this war-torn world."
Lin Ao gently touched her comfort and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the result is, you are doing the right thing, and I will always be with you."
