The cold wind is cold and the snowflakes are flying.╚26nbsp; 3f5e.com╝

Peter stood in front of the window, staring at the courtyard covered by ice and snow, feeling extremely heavy.

Just in the early morning this morning, Peter received two news reports that two affairs managers, Southern and Eastern Europe, were assassinated at home.

In just a few days, four district-level affairs managers have been assassinated, which has hit Peter hard and his mood has become more and more depressed.

The cold wind roared and blew the trees in the courtyard. The bare trees seemed like old men in their twilight years, unable to withstand the invasion of wind and snow, bent over by the thick frost, and trembled helplessly in the cold wind.

Crack, a small tree that had just been planted this spring broke into two pieces in the waist, and the branches wrapped in frost fell to the ground. The icicles on it suddenly turned into pieces, sprinkling the entire courtyard.

Looking at the branches slowly rolling on the ground, Peter felt a cramp in his heart, and then he started to cough suddenly.

Ahem, a bright red ball appeared on the white handkerchief, bright red and dazzling.

Looking at the blood he had just coughed up, a sense of ominousness suddenly arose in Peter's heart.

A knock on the door sounded, Peter frowned, hurriedly stuffed his handkerchief into his pocket, his face wrinkled in pain, and returned to his former peace.

Maria walked into Peter's study with a folder in her arms. Looking at Peter's gray face, Maria said worriedly, "Your Excellency President, please don't be sad and take care of yourself. The victory of our Holy Cross is coming soon!"

"Not the joy of life, no pain of death, no pain of death, do good and eliminate evil, only because of light." Peter staggered back to his seat, looked at Mary, and said with a solemn expression.

"Life and death are just a moment. No matter what the result is, my belief will not change. Compared with the ideals of 250,000 members and millions of believers, personal honor and disgrace are nothing more than. Returning to the Cathedral of Holy Light is a great goal for which our Holy Cross has been bleeding and striving for hundreds of years. This matter is also related to the future of millions of believers. I will never allow anyone to hinder our actions!"

"godwillsit(God's will,)" Mary reached out and drew a cross, saying loudly, "President, I am willing to give my life for my ideals and beliefs!"

Peter nodded and said lightly, "Maria, you inform Coscheerney and ask him to tell Gabriel that he doesn't have to come back!"

Maria was stunned when she heard this and immediately understood that Peter could no longer bear Gabriel and had already had murderous intent.

Maria has no good feelings for Gabriel, a veteran of the Holy Cross. For many years, Gabriel has been mediocre and has made no contribution to the development and growth of the Holy Cross. He also secretly cultivated his own power, intending to conspire to overthrow Peter's rule. However, because Peter and Gabriel were two subordinates most trusted by the previous president John, and Peter has always been tolerant of Gabriel, which has made Gabriel slowly expand himself.

At the critical moment when the Holy Cross Society was about to win, Gabriel turned his back on the organization and killed his fellow disciples for his own selfish desires. Such a heartless and righteous behavior made Maria feel extremely disgusted with him.

Seeing that Peter finally stated that he wanted to deal with Gabriel, Maria immediately asked seriously, "Chairman, what should we do with Gabriel!"

"There will be someone to deal with him." Peter did not explain too much, and then said, "Gabriel, like his collection vision, always regards fakes as treasures. The reason why I have always tolerated and tolerated him is to see who are standing behind him!"

Maria secretly speculated that Peter was referring to those who stood behind Gabriel as he was talking about the Holy Cross, but Maria is not aware of who he is now, “Christian President, how should we deal with those who betray us!”

"I'm just an old fox who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, and someone will deal with him." Peter said this again, then looked at the folder in Maria's hand and said lightly, "Is there any new news?"

"This morning, the headlines of major media in the world were all about explosive news about French warships invading Portugal's territorial waters. According to the news from Lisbon, half an hour ago, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the Portuguese government had sent a diplomatic note to France, severely condemning France's infringement of Portugal's territorial sovereignty, and demanding that the French government make a reasonable explanation and a public apology, otherwise the matter would be submitted to the United Nations General Assembly to impose sanctions on France." Maria looked through the folders in her hand and told the comments of major media outlets around the world on this matter one by one.

Peter became more and more puzzled as he heard it, and he couldn't help but ask, "How could the French warships invade Portugal's territorial waters? Is it the Portimão Sea in the south or the Porto Sea in the north!"

"It is not the waters of Portugal's native Europe, but an uninhabited deserted island in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Bougeu Island in the Portuguese Desetta Islands." Maria explained in detail as she looked at the introduction in the newspaper.

"At 5:30 p.m. yesterday, the French Presidential Palace issued a communiqué. In order to deal with the increasingly rampant pirates and protect France's maritime transportation lines, the French government decided to send the French foreign legion umbrella army to the North Atlantic waters to carry out a military exercise of "strike against pirates and maritime rescue". At the same time, several ships from France's Dakar military base in Senegal, West Africa were also involved in this military exercise. Then, this morning, the media suddenly revealed that the French warships invaded the territorial waters of the Bougeu Island. Several media even reported that the C130 transport aircraft of the French foreign legion umbrella army also violated the airspace of the Bougeu Island!"

Maria paused and continued, "What's even more strange is that since the Portuguese government issued a diplomatic note on France at 8 o'clock this morning, Italy, England, Denmark, Spain, the Middle East, and China far east have also issued diplomatic statements, publicly condemning France's infringement of Portugal's territorial sovereignty. According to common sense, governments of various countries generally take a temporary standstill for such diplomatic disputes, and will not issue diplomatic statements until the facts are clear. But today's situation is just the opposite. They seem to be more anxious than the other. The most funny thing is that Italy actually issued a condemnation statement at 7:50 in the morning before the Portuguese government. It seems that the French warships invaded not the Portuguese territorial waters, but the Italian territorial waters!"

"Why can't Antonio stay calm like a young man?" Peter laughed happily when he heard his old opponent make an oath.

Suddenly, the laughter came to an abrupt end and Peter fell into deep thought again.

"Where is Ye Feng?" Peter stood up, supported the desk with both hands, and said sternly, "I want detailed information about Buriwu Island!"

"Ye Feng also appeared in Ayuen City in Western Sahara a few days ago. Cardinal Antonio asked someone to give his cross to Ye Feng. This happened at the gate of Ayuen City, and many people in the local area knew about it." Maria was full of doubts, but she did not pause at all. She immediately took out her laptop, opened the satellite map, and found relevant information on Buriwu Island.

Cross, Antonio, Peter recalled Maria's words just now, his face was a little gloomy, but then he quickly turned cloudy and calm as before.

"The Desetta Islands are part of the Portuguese Madeira Islands of the North Atlantic Ocean. They are located at 32°30′ north latitude, 16°30′ west longitude, and 32 kilometers northwest from Madeira Island. There are three uninhabited desert islands distributed from north to south, namely Shang Island, Dadesetta Island, and Bugeu Island (also known as Bugeu Island Bugio)." Looking at the relevant information, Maria frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Bugeu Island,

It is also known as the Scarlet Island or Cut Throat Island. It is about 8 kilometers long from north to south, with a widest place of about 14 kilometers, with a maximum altitude of 348 meters and an area of ​​3,348 square kilometers. For more than two thousand years, the Bougewu Island, located at the southernmost end of the Desetta Islands, has rarely been mentioned and has always been in a corner that is rejected and forgotten. This is because this long desert island has been shrouded in horror and blood since the day it was discovered!”

"Cut Throat Island." Peter silently recited the name, with a faint smile on his face, "Cut Throat Island, I like this name. I believe this is also the place of decisive battle chosen by Ye Feng. This time, I'm afraid the paratroopers will go without going back!"

A knock on the door sounded, and a young Holy Cross member came in and handed over a document he had just received to Maria.

"His Excellency President, Sarnia has surrendered." Maria looked at the documents in her hand and smiled. "Five minutes ago, Sarnia issued a statement at the Elysee Palace, saying that the French warship entered the territorial waters of Bougeu last night, which was just a misunderstanding. Because the night route was a bit deviated, it mistakenly entered the territorial waters of 12 nautical miles. Now all the French warships have retreated to the high seas and publicly apologized to the Portuguese government and expressed sincere apology. The statement also stated that the scheduled anti-pirate military exercises will be carried out as usual, and after all the scheduled courses are practiced at 4 o'clock this afternoon, the warships will be immediately returned to the Dakar military base!"

"The military exercise ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. It seems that Sarnia has given up the paratrooper regiment, and the foreign regiment once again became the abandoned son of the French government." Peter said.

"As the leader of the French country, how could Sarnia do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing?" Although Maria also knew the history of the French foreign legion, Maria still felt a little unacceptable in the face of such a cruel reality.

Maria sighed and said indignantly, "Lead the troops to the battlefield. Even if our army is defeated and the situation is not good, we cannot abandon the soldiers and escape alone. As a qualified leader, we should take them home or die with dignity!"

Peter was shocked and silently said in his heart, take them home, take them home, go home, go home, go home...

A heroic feeling once again poured into the heart of the old man in sixties. A glimmer appeared on Peter's face, his smile bloomed, calm and composed.

"Maria, immediately notify the members of Madeira and let them pretend to go out to sea to fish. The fishing boats will be arranged outside the territorial waters of Cutoutou Island and closely monitor the whereabouts of nearby French warships. Once the French warships are found to have an attempt to approach Cutoutou Island, let them quickly notify the Madeira government. In addition, if Ye Feng is found to leave Cutoutou Island, he must assist and protect him from leaving safely!"

Maria was stunned and said in confusion, "President, why do you want to help Ye Feng? Although we both temporarily resolved the conflict, in essence, Ye Feng and us are not the same person, and they are likely to become enemies again in the future!"

Peter laughed to the sky, his laughter filled with tragic and heroic spirit.

"You will know later." Peter waved to Maria and said in a gentle tone, "Okay, you go back first, I want to calm down!"

"Yes, Your Excellency President, please be careful and have a good rest!"

Maria left the study, Peter leaned on the seat, gently rubbing the cross badge ring on the little finger of his right hand, his expression becoming more solemn and dignified.

After a long time, Peter slowly raised his head, looked at the antique phone on Nanmu's desk, and quietly jumped onto his old face with a smile.

That smile is as bright as the sun, calm and free.
