2677
The officer standing behind the curtain looked at the brothers who were kneeling on their knees outside the Capitol, and saw them being dragged away like dead dogs, with a little more emotion and sigh.
He knew that these people had a high probability of surviving.
Sometimes it is not reason itself that makes people make a choice, but emotion and impulse.
If everyone could make rational decisions when faced with choices, there wouldn't be so many unsolvable contradictions in the world.
No one can achieve absolute sanity, let alone absolute sanity. It is difficult to achieve relative sanity.
It's like——
I knew she was a cousin, but I couldn't help it when she took off her clothes.
Reason told me not to be fooled, but emotion and impulse told me that this was the last time.
There were some people behind the officer, standing quietly.
In fact, they all know that if they stay, their lives will begin to count down, but they all have reasons to stay.
Some people died because their relatives died in the war, and some suffered unfair treatment, at least they thought it was unfair treatment.
Real life forces them to make such a heavy choice, using their lives and more things to shake up and awaken this numb society.
"We will proceed as planned. We may have to speed up a little. They are likely to infiltrate tonight."
"Brothers, please be more alert..."
After everyone was told what to do, the Capitol fell into silence.
In invisible places, these terrorists began to set up various traps and arrange bombs.
These people have basically participated in the frontline war, and many of them came up from the bottom companies, or were still at the grassroots level before this incident broke out.
Their experience in the war, which has yet to subside, is enough for them to turn the Capitol into a dangerous battlefield, and it is also their home field.
On the other side, Connor called Lynch alone into the study in his living area. Connor, who had been paying close attention to congressional issues all day long, seemed a little out of sorts.
He is not too young, and he did not take a nap in the afternoon. Coupled with the mental pressure, he looks very tired now.
"What do you think is the worst case scenario?", he poured himself a little wine, wine is always a good medicine to relieve stress.
Lynch didn't put it lightly and said, "The worst-case scenario is that they blow up the entire Capitol and make everything mess."
Connor rubbed his face, "So Peleus and his family are no longer of any use?"
Lynch still nodded in agreement, "From the current point of view, they are out of luck."
"They can't control those people, or the people inside know very well that even if they surrender, their fate in the end will be no different from what it is now."
Connor was a little dumbfounded, because he actually knew that what Lynch said was right. Even if these people surrendered, their fate would not be much better.
Because what they are holding hostage is the Capitol Building and those senators. Whether it is to reflect the sanctity of Congress and its members, or to prevent similar things from happening again.
They will all find ways to kill these people in the most cruel way, and they will do it in an honest and cruel way!
For example, being drowned at a busy intersection.
Only by using such cruel and terrifying methods can people realize the cost of doing so.
So those who are still in the Capitol know very well that it means little if they can't get out.
This is a deadlock with no room for relaxation and has further strengthened the determination of the terrorists.
"Then we can only use the worst way to end this. At eleven o'clock in the evening, our tactical team will try to break through."
Connor looked a little melancholy, "This decision may kill many people."
Lynch made a helpless gesture. There was really nothing he could do for him.
It took Connor a while to struggle out of this emotion, "Tell me about those people in Peleus, can we... take action?"
"They used extraordinary methods, so we don't need to deal with them according to the rules of the game!"
This is the most hated tactic of all game players, which is to use methods outside the rules to try to steal victory.
Everyone is playing the game according to the rules of the game, even if these game rules are set by some participants.
When everyone's social class is similar, it can achieve a relative balance. If there are still people who try to break the rules, it will bring too many unstable factors to the game!
It will also make everyone dissatisfied!
Connor was already dissatisfied, very dissatisfied. He had decided to give up what was within the rules of the game and directly attack the Peleus family.
He frowned and thought for a moment, "I heard that Peleus and his young children had already escaped first?"
"Can you pinpoint their location?"
Lynch nodded, "Our reconnaissance plane has been following them. Judging from the current situation, they plan to go to their pirate aunt first."
Connor nodded noncommittally, "Sink them, and then..."
A sudden knock on the door caused both of them to stop talking. After waiting for two seconds, Connor adjusted his clothes and mood and said, "Come in!"
A security director of the presidential palace walked in with a somewhat panicked expression, "The Admiral committed suicide in his room..."
Lynch and Connor were stunned for a moment, then stood up. This was a signal, a very bad signal!
This was the first time Lynch saw Connor so angry, and his expression was distorted.
As a politician, he knew what this meant and could even guess some subsequent changes. He immediately strode outside and said as he walked, "Block all news immediately and help me notify Central and South China."
The commander of the military region and the commander of the security zone, I want to speak to them immediately..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lynch was stunned for a while before following him out, but he did not think that blocking the news now was effective.
Obviously, the Admiral should and must have passed on the news of his impending death before committing suicide. In other words, when the Peleus family got the news, they should have already started to take action!
He also admired the admiral's decisiveness. He and his brother, the army admiral, were both ruthless people.
Suicide is a terrible thing.
Many people say that suicide is a sign of cowardice and that they do not even have the courage to face life.
Those who say these words must not understand how terrifying and torturous it is to end one's own life with one's own hands, and to watch and clearly perceive the process of one's own final end!
Faced with an unsatisfactory life, you can survive even if you really can't afford it.
But it is really not an easy thing to kill yourself.
As Lynch considered it, before the admiral committed suicide, he conveyed the news of his impending suicide through some means.
When his phone calls failed to get the terrorists who attacked the Congress to lay down their weapons and surrender, he knew that he and the entire family had no chance.
If he doesn't die, he will become a powerful weapon for the federal government to restrain the navy.
He didn't know if he could persevere in those tortures, and he didn't know if his will would be distorted and changed by the torture.
At the same time, he must use his own death to catalyze some naval officers who are still hesitant to stand on the family's side, so he must die!
After he passed on the news, he found a separate room on the grounds of "needing to rest" and then ended his life with a piece of a broken wine glass.
There was blood everywhere, and he cut open the main artery in his neck. The whole process took less than two minutes.
When the guard outside the door smelled the smell of blood, it was already too late.
Connor glanced at the admiral who had given up rescuing and was placed in a body bag. His face was uglier than that of a dead man.
He snorted heavily, his anger suppressing his discomfort with the corpse, quickly returned to the office, and answered the phone.
"...has committed suicide. I suspect there will be changes in the navy soon. You must be prepared for battle."
"Once the war starts, I hope to suppress this rebellion as quickly as possible."
The warning area is located on the outskirts of Bupain, about 70 kilometers away from Bupain. It is the military force to defend Bupain.
There are currently about 12,000 people in the entire security area, and with the well-equipped equipment, there is no need to worry about the navy coming over for the time being.
But to extinguish this force first, it is definitely necessary to use the army of the central and southern military regions. There are only two large military regions in the west and north. They are really too far away from here.
When their support arrives, there will probably only be two outcomes.
Either Bupen was captured by the navy, or the navy's rebellion was suppressed.
So Connor did not ask them to take action immediately, but directly called on the military power of these two departments.
The alert area was under the vertical management of the Presidential Palace. They immediately obeyed Connor's decision. The entire military region sounded the alarm and began to prepare for military operations.
The commander of the Central and Southern Military Region was a little hesitant, but after Connor elaborated on the relationship between the hijacking of Congress and the navy, he also said that he would immediately mobilize troops to the outskirts of Bupain.
As for...whether to suppress the navy, he felt that he would have to wait until daybreak to get more information before he could make a decision.
Connor was also dissatisfied with the actions of the commander of the Central and Southern Military Region. Things had already happened, but he was still shirking responsibility, but he did not show it.
All plans must be made after the naval problem is solved first.
It was also these things that made Connor realize that in the future, when the existing social order will inevitably collapse, if the power of the military is not taken back as soon as possible, it will become very troublesome!
