Because New York suffered a lot of nuclear bombs, was destroyed by dozens of "Dongfeng III" rounds by Zhou Qingfeng and destroyed a large number of government buildings, and faced the threat of the Aurora Legion aircraft carrier, David Lawrence had to move the Enclave's center of rule to this place.
America's third largest city far from the coast.
"We were actually forced to retreat the capital by more than a thousand kilometers by that bastard. This is a great shame."
"Come on, if we don't retreat we'll be bombed every day."
"But even if we retreat, we will still be hit by bombs. The plague is spreading on the ground, the army is forced to stop fighting, and the sky is full of stealth fighters of the Aurora Legion.
The most hateful thing is that Victor continues to send long-range stealth bombers into our territory to hunt down our long-range early warning radars used for missile warning and anti-satellite warning, which makes us very passive."
"Just be satisfied. We should be happy if we can destroy the Aurora Legion's satellite network first. Otherwise, if we let him retain various navigation, communication, and reconnaissance satellites, our life will be even more difficult. You should still think about how to deal with the plague that is everywhere now.
situation."
"These are all orders from you, an idiot. Who told you to use biological and chemical weapons? Now we are extremely passive. Not to mention being completely isolated diplomatically, our internal support rate is also declining."
"I just released some anthrax experimentally. Who knows that the Aurora Legion released the mutant virus. Others don't know, but I know that my genius student Nova must have been abducted by Victor Hugo. She has
There are also original samples of mutant viruses."
"So I said you are an idiot, an idiot, a super idiot. You are stupid yourself, and now you are trying to trick me. I really wish I could kill you, this disgusting guy."
"I hope you don't forget that if you kill me, you will die too."
Chicago is a lakeside city, and the Enclave placed its governing body here. However, David Lawrence's presidential residence is not in the city, but on an island in Lake Michigan - the Great Lakes Naval Station.
The Enclave cleaned up the ammunition and armory of the naval station on the island and transformed it into a solid bunker deep underground for the President to use. A Marine Brigade of about 3,000 people is stationed on the island, which is heavily guarded and tightly defended. There are very few.
People know that the key to the Enclave is here.
At this moment, there were quarrels going on in the underground presidential office, and all kinds of violent and chaotic sounds came from the crack of the ajar door. Angie sat on an armchair outside the office, pricking up his ears and listening to the sounds in the office.
Opposite Angie is Dania's big desk. This woman has recently risen through the ranks to become the president's personal secretary and manages the huge presidential palace. All the big and small matters within the Enclave must go through her before they can be delivered to the president's desk.
forward.
In an emergency, the decoration of the President's Office is not very good. The door is always not closed tightly, and the sound inside is louder. Dania looked up and saw Angie's focused eyes, and immediately stood up and closed the door that was not tightly closed.
Close it tightly, and the noise inside will no longer be heard.
"Who is the person quarreling with my father inside?" Anji sat still and asked indifferently.
"A senior government official." Dania smiled, obviously not telling the truth.
"When can I see my father, and how long do I have to wait?"
"I have already informed you. It depends on when the President is free. You know the President is very busy recently."
After a few short words, Angie continued to stare at the strange woman opposite. Dania lowered her head and continued working, as if Angie didn't exist.
"Your work efficiency is too slow. Have you never done such complicated secretarial work in the past?" After a while, Anji took the initiative to ask again.
Dania raised her head with a smile, and said frankly without mind: "Yes, I am indeed not very good at secretarial work. But it doesn't matter, I can still do it well."
Anji continued to mock unceremoniously: "It's useless. Your work efficiency has become a bottleneck in the government's operation. Everyone is waiting for you to speed up. If you have seen the work team of Aurora Legion Lena Fox,
You will understand that your abilities are far behind those of professionals.”
"Oh, if you have any good suggestions, you are welcome to give them."
"My advice is to get out of here, I'll be better than you."
The series of sarcastic remarks finally made Dania change her color slightly. The woman showed a hint of anger but still suppressed her smile and said: "Miss Anji, you can make this suggestion to the president. As long as the president is willing to change someone, I don't mind letting you."
Come."
From Dania's formulaic smile, Angie tasted another opposite meaning - my status is unshakable, you can't replace me.
The two women exchanged words like this for several rounds, and 'David Lawrence' in the President's Office finally had time to see his daughter. When Angie walked into the office, she passed by Dania's desk and deliberately dropped a cold snort.
Due to the state of war, the presidential office is quite simple. There are no bright floor-to-ceiling windows, no spacious space, no fully equipped suites, and only a fluorescent lamp that shines pale light.
'David Lawrence' is sitting behind his desk, which is covered with various phones, computers and folders. His face is still very haggard, and he can't see any of the heroic and majestic image of the past. Instead, his back is stooped and his skin is
Relaxed, as if he had aged twenty or thirty years.
"Angie." 'David Lawrence' shouted in a hoarse voice. He still had some feelings for his daughter after all, and he felt much happier. "How are you doing lately?"
"Not very good." Anji shook her head, "Actually, I also want to ask, dad, are you okay?"
"Ah..., I'm not very good either." 'David Lawrence' sighed and smiled bitterly: "That little bastard Victor is really a trouble, he has too many tricks, forcing all our recent ground offensives to stop.
You must know that I have spent a lot of effort to inspire the fighting spirit of the North American white people. Once the momentum of the attack is stopped, once the victory is unable to be won continuously, once the enemy is repeatedly wasted in difficulties, the fighting spirit and morale will be quickly exhausted.
I was ready to fight Victor and suppress him even if millions of people died. But he was so ruthless that he actually used biological and chemical weapons. It took too long and the situation was really serious.
Not good.
Anji, you have to believe me. I did not order the spread of this biological disaster. Victor is framing me and it was him who did it. But now no one believes my argument, and I am very distressed."
In front of his daughter, 'David Lawrence' poured out a lot of bitterness. Angie nodded, "I know this must have been done by Victor. He is such a person, once he is cruel, he can do anything.
But this time North America was really hit hard. We have never had so many people die after the catastrophe. The reports from the medical system kept me awake all night. The military kept shooting infected citizens just because they were afraid that they would mutate and infect others.
Especially now that we have lost the input of external goods, public affairs have almost collapsed. More and more people are infected, and the epidemic is currently spreading from the south to the north..."
The destructiveness of severe infectious diseases is terrible. For example, the 'Spanish Flu' after World War I infected one billion people and caused at least 25 million deaths. You must know that the global population was only 1.7 billion at that time, and it killed
More people died than were killed on the battlefield in World War I.
Now the epidemic in North America has alarmed the whole world. The global health system is now very fragile. In order to avoid being infected, other continents immediately cut off all contact with North America, for fear that this terrible "Enclave virus" will spread to their own territory.
Anji wanted to persuade her father to stop this war and find a way to reconcile with the Aurora Legion. But before she could say anything, 'David Lawrence' on the other side suddenly interrupted and said: "Angie, do you remember what I told you?
A paragraph?”
"What words?"
"I talked to you once after that kid Victor publicly announced his intention to proclaim himself emperor in Washington, D.C. Do you remember?"
Angie was stunned and quickly recalled a conversation - David Lawrence said that he wanted to marry Angie to Victor Hugo, and also said that he would not give up the fight for North America.
Anji didn't understand what her father meant and said quickly: "Dad, I don't hate you anymore. I have forgiven you for ruining my marriage. I know that I have to bear such a responsibility when I was born in this family. I just want to help now."
you……."
"No." 'David Lawrence' interrupted again: "Angie, I want you to do what I said now. Go ahead, I'm still busy."
The meeting between father and daughter ended, and Angie, who was full of doubts, was kicked out. When she left the room in a daze, she suddenly heard another person's voice in the room asking: "What did you tell your daughter?"
"
"It's none of your business. It's not within our cooperation agreement." The voice belonged to David Lawrence.
With a clang, Dania closed the door of the President's Office tightly, looked at Anji with a smile, and signaled her to leave quickly.
But Angie suddenly felt terrified and had goosebumps all over her body - ever since he was kidnapped to Denver by Tony Parker, David Lawrence has become very strange. He has all kinds of incomprehensible words and behaviors.
Now there is obviously only David Lawrence in the office, so who is the other voice? Where is that person?
