Chapter 1817 Tangled

Fifty kilometers north of Monterey, a small armed convoy was speeding down the road. The convoy includes several armored vehicles and more than a dozen large trucks. There are several armed men on all the vehicles, and these people are vigilantly staring at the surroundings of the convoy, ready to fight at any time.

The convoy was traveling very fast and had to slow down when turning a bend. On the lead armored vehicle, a vanguard observer seemed to notice something was wrong. He just raised his hand to warn the convoy to stop, but the moment he raised his hand, something happened suddenly.

A 20mm sniper round flew from hundreds of meters away, and Duang shot it into the cab of the lead armored vehicle. Armor-piercing warheads shattered inside the car, tearing the driver into a blood-red pulp. The armored vehicle immediately lost control, rushed down the road and rolled over.

After the attack, the convoy commander did not dare to stay. The radios were filled with commands to speed up and leave, but the attacks that followed became more intensive. Large-caliber heavy machine guns began to sweep across the road, turning all the people hit by the trucks on their backs.

The moving vehicles immediately fell into chaos. They kept bumping, squeezing, and rolling, and a large number of armed men jumped out of the vehicles to try to fight. Many fleeing women and children were crying, and the wounded were crying for help and screaming.

After a while, small-caliber mortars began to spread air-burst submunitions, and the armed personnel of the convoy were killed and injured in large numbers. Several armed members of the convoy tried to flee on foot, while others simply surrendered. The exchange of fire failed to last for five minutes, and the preset ambush destroyed the convoy.

Five hundred meters away from the attacked convoy, Father Rui Wen of the Special Operations Command of the Aurora Legion was laughing. Wearing T-45D power armor, he has been doing this kind of interception and killing along the way these days, and the high-level personnel of the "Mo Tongzhen" is his target.

"Relax, these weak chickens are not our opponents at all." Father Ruiwen was very happy. He has maneuvered through various intelligence inside lines and helicopters in the past few days, which can be said to be fruitful.

The whole operation was very simple, and the special operations team began to clean up the battlefield. These high-level figures of the 'Mo Tongzhen' who have escaped are all of great value, and the various properties they have looted alone are a lot of money.

However, when Father Ruiwen led the team up to pick up the prisoners, someone shouted at him: "Why attack us? There is a ceasefire, do you understand the ceasefire? Monterey is already an undefended city, why are you still attacking us?"

"What are you talking about?" Father Ruiwen, who was wearing armor, walked up with bang bang bangs. Hearing this, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "When did the fire stop? Why didn't I know?"

Papa Ruiwen laughed out loud, as if the unknown prisoner in front of him wanted to fool him. The special soldiers around him also laughed happily, and no one took it seriously.

But the prisoner raised his hands and shouted excitedly: "Don't you know? Peace has come. For the sake of the survival of all mankind, there will be no more wars. We elected Victor Hugo as the emperor to coordinate all conflicts. Only he has the ability to come. Get this great job done."

Unknown captives preached back and forth in front of a few power armors. Father Ruiwen and a few special soldiers laughed like listening to a joke, and no one believed his nonsense. The old man simply ordered: "Self-interrogate the living people and squeeze them dry. We can't make this trip in vain."

Father Ruiwen patrolled the destroyed convoy. He is currently commanding more than a dozen special operations teams operating behind enemy lines, and his work is still quite busy. But just as he walked around and was about to lead the team to leave, a special military officer in charge of the interrogation reported to him in the internal communication.

"Sir Ruiwen, I have some news here, maybe you should pay attention to it."

"What's up?"

"Regarding the so-called 'ceasefire' of the prisoner just now, I interrogated several people. They all said that the American Ba'ath Party suddenly issued a public appeal to the outside world, demanding the establishment of an empire covering the entire North America, and elected our army commander as emperor."

"This should be the enemy's deceptive propaganda, and we don't need to pay attention to it."

"Yeah, yeah, I also feel like it's just some kind of propaganda.

After all we haven't heard anything like that from the Legion. Maybe you should take it seriously, though. "

The military officer in charge of the interrogation was also uncertain, and ended the communication after a few words. Father Ruiwen was a little strange. His subordinates were elites with brains, and they would definitely not believe the enemy's nonsense. Such an obvious reminder seemed to hide some kind of mystery.

"Elect Victor as emperor? Who came up with such a weird idea?" Father Ruiwen intuitively regarded it as some kind of conspiracy, and it was an extremely clumsy conspiracy. But the subordinates are so solemn, it seems that they have made some kind of confirmed report.

The T-45D station is not enough to directly contact Mexico City, which is nearly a thousand kilometers away. After returning to his temporary camp, Riven's father used a high-power encrypted radio to send an inquiry to his wife at the legion headquarters via satellite. He had thought that he would get some kind of negative answer, so he would naturally feel at ease.

But…….

"Yes, there is such a public telegram. It was sent by Dr. Osborne, the leader of the American Baath Party, to all forces in North America. The content of the telegram is to resolve disputes through negotiation and stop using violence." Rui Wen The old lady acknowledged the existence of the telegram.

"This is some kind of provocation, a trap set by deliberately putting on a high profile. Deliberately linking peace with Victor." Father Ruiwen characterized the telegram.

"Yes, everyone thinks so. We all understand that this is clearly just propaganda by the enemy. After all, no one will easily let Victor become emperor." Mrs. Ruiwen also affirmed.

Then the couple remained silent for about ten seconds. Father Ruiwen suddenly couldn't help but asked his wife, "My dear, you said that it is really possible for our family to... You understand what I mean, right? Our legion Inside……."

"I understand." Mrs. Ruiwen was obviously a little excited, "Let me tell you about the current situation. First of all, no one in the legion currently takes this telegram seriously; second, including the legion, the entire North American grassroots are strongly opposed War weariness. In the end, a lot of people in the Legion were happy to see it happen."

"A lot of people want Victor to be the emperor?" Father Ruiwen thought he was the only one who thought this way.

Mrs. Ruiwen sighed with affirmation and regret, "This world has changed, and freedom and equality no longer exist. Many people, especially senior officials in power, want to be nobles. But no matter whether it is a republic or a federal government, the It is impossible to produce aristocrats in the actual sense. So...."

"The only possibility is that Victor becomes the emperor, and only Victor has the courage and ability to do such a thing." Father Ruiwen said the next sentence. He followed with a long sigh of 'ohhh', "What's Victor's attitude? Our baby girl didn't reveal anything?"

"This matter was not discussed publicly. Only after the initial news came out, Usserman, who was in charge of publicity, said something on the radio as a joke. Usserman was soon scared to death, and then everyone automatically put this The topic has been filtered. As for Victor, he probably doesn't know about it yet."

"How could he not know?" Father Ruiwen asked in surprise.

"Victor doesn't listen to the radio, how can ordinary people dare to tell him such jokes? No one dares to write this matter in the daily briefing and show it to him. This matter is now a kind of taboo. Even Katerina said that this matter is very serious and should not be discussed casually."

Father Ruiwen immediately understood what his wife meant. This matter sounded like an unrealistic joke, but it involved the interests of many people. It involves a national regime and a major division of power. It is not acceptable to agree with it, let alone to oppose it. No one will easily reveal their ideas.

Mrs. Raven was right, the matter was too sensitive, too serious. The only one who has the right to speak on this matter can only be Victor Hugo himself. Others have no right to intervene, not even to talk about it.

But no one dared to tell Victor Hugo about this matter, even someone as close as Katerina didn't dare to talk nonsense because of the interests, and would only think it over and over again - after all, the emperor is easy to decide, but the queen is not good deal. There are several queens in the legion who hold real power.

After the radio connection was hung up, Father Ruiwen, an old soldier of the corrupt country who had always been staid, became entangled—democracy is precious, freedom is more expensive, and if he can become a nobleman, he can throw away both.
