The remaining light of the setting sun shines on the orange-red armor of the "Wuhou Class", reflecting dazzling light. At this moment, this "radiant" battleship is hovering at an altitude of 200 meters. On both sides of it are neatly arranged battle fleets. Below it is a battle line composed of infantry, trenches, fast bunkers, armored vehicles, tanks and other ground. And directly in front of it is Shishapangma Peak.
This day is December 1, RX2200, the day when the World Conference is officially held.
The Red Knight walked quickly alone in the velvet-carpeted Wuhou-level corridor. The guard outside the captain's room saw him saluting and opened the door. This is a treatment that only the Red Knight can enjoy. He can see Zhuge at any time. Daozi.
The Red Knight entered the room and saw Zhuge Daozi playing chess with his lieutenant. Seeing the red knight coming, Zhuge Daozi smiled and waved and said: "My friend, you came just in time. This game is almost over. Please accompany me to the next game."
The red knight walked to Zhuge Daozi, glanced at the chess game, and found that Zhuge Daozi was about to lose, which was rare. He looked up at Shishapangma ahead and asked:
"I came here this time to know when you plan to order the attack. We have been here for two days, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready. If we don't take action, reinforcements from the Chang'an Cooperation Organization will come."
Zhuge Daozi's attention was completely on the chess game. He picked up a chess piece and said, "I asked General Lei, who is in charge of the Asian battlefield, to focus on carrying out operations in Southeast Asia to contain the Chang'an Cooperation Organization. Their reinforcements will not come too much." of."
The Red Knight shook his head: "No, it's different. This time our opponent is not single. If it takes too long, the Chang'an Cooperation Organization will allow reinforcements from the New Muscovy Principality and the New European Union to come over, which will be troublesome! Why haven't you acted yet? ?”
Zhuge Daozi picked up another chess piece, looked at the chessboard thoughtfully for a long time, and then said:
"The time has not yet come."
He left his wife behind, and the metal chess piece landed on the wooden chessboard with a "snap" sound.
…
"Snap, snap, snap!!!!"
In the conference hall inside the Shishapangma military fortress, the applause lasted for a full minute. The person standing on the podium was General Homo, the ambassador of the "New Republic of Gran Colombia (RC)". He raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent. When the applause stopped, he said excitedly:
"...As I just said, we can no longer fall into the quagmire of war. In the past, our RC mistakenly sided with HER for safety, but this was all because the people in power at that time were timid and incompetent. I came here, It is to convey the true voice of RC. We, RC, are a continent that pursues peace and freedom. We will make a clean break with HER! We will prove it with actual actions! Everyone, this is the moment when we must unite as one. Let us defeat HER who started the war. Restore order in the Earth's sphere! Now, a fertile soil appears before my eyes. I see scenes of lush water and grass on all major continents, and the children in the colonial satellites show happy smiles... Everyone, as long as we unite, all of this will be possible. In the near future!”
The meeting site once again burst into applause. Like the live broadcast of the previous few days, the live meeting of today and the next few days will be forced to be broadcast on all media in the earth circle that can receive the signal through technical means.
After Ho Mo finished speaking, he waved to everyone. Lieutenant Anton, who was at the table, applauded and whispered to Li Youde beside him: "This Homo used to be a subordinate of the South American military leader Lopez Jr. After Lopez was caught by us, he quickly rose to power and gained real power within the RC. . He came specifically to attend the meeting to gain popularity."
Li Youde nodded: "I have heard that the Osiris narrowly lost that battle and suffered heavy losses."
The host of the meeting signaled everyone to be quiet, and everyone looked at the door of the hall. The most important "guest" today was coming. At the same time, all the crew on the Osiris, Emperor Manfred and Princess Mary of New Rome, Zhuge Daozi and the Red Knight on the Wuhou class, and President Thomas on the "Shang" were all staring at the screen in front of them. .
"Let us welcome Elisabeth Adenauer, the eldest princess of the Holy Roman Empire of the universe!"
Everyone in the hall stood up and applauded. In the deafening applause, Elizabeth, wearing a luxurious officer's uniform, led Lin Ao and her escorts out.
Elizabeth stood on the podium, smiled and waved to everyone. Before the applause finally ended three minutes later, Elizabeth took a deep breath and began her speech today:
"Friends from all over the world, I am Elisabeth Adenauer. Before I speak formally, I need to thank some of the colonial satellites Osiris of Mycenae. Without them taking the risk to send me to Earth, I would be here today. I can’t stand here alive.”
Elizabeth looked at Lin Ao, who nodded.
Elizabeth continued:
"I'm afraid many people will doubt the purpose of my participation in this meeting. This meeting is not about empty talk about peace, but will form a solid alliance against my motherland after the meeting... In fact, no matter what my identity is, I belong to a country. The princess is still a commoner, and my views on war are the same. I don't like it. I feel very sad to say that my father has gone astray. This war was wrong from the beginning. As a person Her daughter and the princess of a country, I feel anxious about my position. From a human perspective, I should stand on the side of my father and my country. However, the lessons of history tell us that when a country falls into *** When the revolution is full of fanaticism, the people should not be carried away and become victims of war. Whether it is Hitler or Japan during World War II, the butchers after the fanaticism will definitely be defeated, and defeat will bring greater pain to the people..."
She took another deep breath and said: "I don't want my country to make the same mistakes again. I am standing here just to pull it out of the quagmire. Here I want to say to the people of the empire: 'Don't make the same mistake again and again. ! No matter what you have done in this war, whether you are involved or not, stop it! The army lays down its weapons, the factories stop producing weapons, and stop teaching young people who have just graduated from school how to use weapons. My father, I sincerely advise you to cease the war! It is better to make up for your mistakes than dragging the entire country to death! Our people are innocent!"
Elizabeth raised her hands, everyone in the hall stood up, and applause resounded throughout the hall.
Sima Qian appeared in the camera. She held the topic and faced the camera and said: "Just now, Her Majesty Elizabeth, the eldest princess of the Holy Roman Empire of the Universe, delivered a peace speech. She called on her country not to continue the wrong war, and society All classes should unanimously stop participating in the war..."
"Snapped!"
Emperor Manfred, who was watching the live broadcast, crushed the glass in his hand, and his hand was bleeding from the broken glass. Princess Mary sitting next to him was startled, asked the maid to bring potions and bandages, knelt in front of Manfred and said in a weak voice:
"Father...please don't be angry because of my sister. She did not betray the country."
"She wants to betray me! She wants me to die so that I can inherit the throne!!" Manfred roared.
"Please don't be angry! When I get better, I will definitely persuade her to bring her back!"
There were tears in the corners of Mary's eyes. Manfred could not continue the attack in front of his seriously ill daughter, so he could only exhale deeply to calm himself down. He stood up from his seat, walked a few steps, half-crouched in front of Mary, held her face and said, "Daughter, you can rest in peace and recuperate. Dad will use his strength to prove your sister wrong! I will let her come back on her own initiative and cry about herself. wrong!"
Manfred left the hall angrily, the blood on his hands flowing all over the floor with his steps. Mary was helped up by the maid and stared blankly at her father's back.
…
Wuhou level
The Red Knight was shocked by Princess Elizabeth's speech. He had seen many pacifists, but there were not many pacifists like Elizabeth who were willing to give up their identity, wealth and risk their lives to practice. He felt that although Elizabeth's speech seemed immature and even empty talk, it did affect him. He didn't know whether millions of soldiers in the empire would be affected by this speech and really affect the situation of the war.
"No wonder Lin Ao was so easily persuaded by her. He didn't just fall in love with Her Majesty the Princess..."
The red knight's attention was mainly on the speech, but he also noticed something strange about Zhuge Daozi beside him. From the beginning of his speech, Zhuge Daozi frowned and his demeanor was very nervous, which can be seen from the rhythmless fan in his hand. By the time Elizabeth finished her speech, his face was livid.
The red knight asked with concern: "Daozi, are you okay?"
Zhuge Daozi shook his head. The red knight saw murderous intent in his eyes and felt uneasy in his heart.
"...What's wrong?" he continued to ask.
Daozi shook his head: "Sorry, I'm a little unwell. You should go back first."
The Red Knight saluted and left. In the early morning of December 2, he received an order from Zhuge Daozi to all soldiers:
"Attack on Shishapangma."
