Chapter 1835: Collapse
Column after column of military vehicles sped down Interstate 10, pulling large numbers of troops and equipment from distant front lines back to San Antonio. These troops are the elite of the Baath Party used to fight against the Enclave, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than the troops deployed on the southern line to fight against the Aurora Legion.
The military vehicles that drove by raised dust all over the sky, and the troops they carried immediately entered the fighting state after arriving at the city circle. But their opponents are not outsiders, but their former robes.
Chandra's car had to pull over to make way for military vehicles. He watched the troops passing by through the car window and asked the driver, "Which division is this?"
"The Eleventh Division. Compared with the early divisions formed by the Ba'ath Party, the divisions formed in the later period were simpler. After Dr. Osborne took power, he threw away various local forces and formed them with soldiers and officers recruited by himself. They are more Loyalty and stronger fighting power." The driver replied.
"Will Dr. Osborn's position be stabilized when this division comes back?" Chandra asked again.
The driver was sent by the Baath Party's foreign affairs department. Hearing this question, he didn't answer immediately. After hesitating for a while, he said uncertainly, "It should be..., it will be stable."
Chandra is here as a special envoy for the New York Fraternity. He brought a personal letter from David Lawrence, expressing his support for Dr. Osborne, but also expressing his concern about the current situation - when the Aurora Legion was in Cuba, no one took it seriously, but now It's different.
After obtaining the springboard of Mexico, the power of the Aurora Legion swelled like a balloon, and now it wants to officially intervene in North American affairs. If Victor Hugo really wins the Baath Party, it will inevitably sweep the North American continent.
Coming out of the airport, Chandra observed the city carefully. An interview team of the Aurora Legion has been active in the city, releasing a lot of shocking information and videos to the outside world-this caused Dr. Osborn to quickly change from the "Wall of Freedom" in North America to a "black-hearted dictator".
Through studying and judging the video, Chandra easily recognized Irene Allie and 'Dog Meat'. These are all the treasures around Victor, and they would never be sent out unless they were on important missions—their dispatch immediately dealt a heavy blow to the Baath Party and ruined its reputation.
Now even the public opinion of the New York Fraternity is difficult to clean up for the Baath Party, and even has to distance itself to a certain extent, for fear of being tainted with the notoriety of "testing biochemical agents with the lives of our own people and wantonly killing them".
Driving into the city, Chandra didn't see any too bloody scenes. There are various sentry posts on the bustling road. Judging from the uniforms, it is Osborne's SS, which is his personal armed force.
Upon arriving in San Antonio, Chandra headed directly to Dr. Osborn's heavily guarded mansion. Conditions in the city are dire, judging by the constant checks and numerous roadblocks along the way.
However, Dr. Osborne himself was very enthusiastic about Chandra's arrival. He personally greeted them at the gate of his official residence, and formed a huge welcome team. When Chandra got out of the car, he saw a fat smiling man walking towards him with arms outstretched.
"Welcome, Professor Chandra, glad to have you here."
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, my dear doctor."
Chandra originally wanted to shake hands, but was hugged tightly by Osborne, which gave him an extremely weird feeling—the fat man in front of him was a big meatball, which was completely different from what was described in the information collected by the intelligence department.
Osborn is so fat, and the translucent skin is so wrong, it is very scary. But Chandra didn't have time to study these things carefully. He was warmly invited by Osborn into his mansion, and the two naturally began to exchange views on the current situation of the Ba'ath Party.
"This time, I brought a personal letter from His Excellency David Lawrence. He is particularly concerned about the current situation in San Antonio. I also hope that you, Doctor, can successfully overcome the current chaos and maintain the stability of the entire North American region."
"Please express my thanks to Mr. Lawrence. I admit that some misunderstandings have caused chaos within our organization. However, San Antonio has returned to calm now,
All rebels will be suppressed. "
Seeing Osborn's all-encompassing statement that there is no problem, Chandra wanted to roll his eyes. He had to remind: "Doctor, I personally think that you seem to be too optimistic.
One of your garrison brigades has openly rebelled, and one of the two units monitoring the 1st Division has declared neutrality and the other has defected. The First Division itself was rearmed, and even officers of all ranks who had been under house arrest escaped. They occupied a satellite city south of San Antonio to resist. "
Chandra wanted to yell a few times - don't try to lie to me, is there any problem? This is clearly at stake!
But upon hearing such deceptive words, Osborn, who had always been smiling, suddenly changed his face. He shouted bluntly: "No, you are wrong. The rebellion will be suppressed, and I have also ordered the propaganda department to carry out anti-brainwashing education, so that those who have wrong perceptions can correct their ideas.
I have brought back five divisions from the front, of which the 11th will be immediately engaged in combating the insurgents until they are eliminated. These are troops absolutely loyal to me. Those who are not loyal to me will die, all of them will die terribly. "
Dr. Osborn said so confidently that Chandra didn't know how to answer. He tentatively asked: "If necessary, we can form a peacekeeping force to maintain the stability of the current situation and avoid humanitarian disasters."
But as soon as he heard the word 'peacekeeping force', Dr. Osborne growled as if being stabbed by a needle, "No, no... You don't want to interfere with our Ba'ath Party, let alone destroy us by force. We have enough strength to protect ourselves, we reject any peacekeeping force."
Dr. Osborne became extremely agitated as he roared, his otherwise translucent skin suddenly congested with blood. Chandra, who was close at hand, could even clearly see the blood surging under the veins, and the other party's eyes were instantly red, and even from the corners of the eyes..., bleeding.
Watching Dr. Osborne transform into a raging monster, Chandra was terrified on the spot. He ended the meeting in embarrassment, and hid in the arranged residence as if fleeing. While hiding in the residence, Chandra immediately set up a high-power encrypted radio to contact David Lawrence in New York.
When he heard Boss Lawrence's questioning voice, Chandra reported in an urgent voice of exclamation and crying: "He's crazy, Osborne is crazy. Rumor has it that he turned himself into some form of mutant, and now it seems That must be true. He's a horrible monster now."
On the other end of the radio, David Lawrence asked after a moment of silence: "How is Osborne's military strength? Are his men still loyal to him?"
The frightened Chandra felt his brain ache, "Osborn should still be able to control quite a few troops, and his elites also obeyed his mobilization. The rebellion's army is not large, so it's hard to say whether it will be successful or not.
In fact, I am a bit pessimistic about McCain's side in the coup. Although Osborne's side seems a little chaotic, dictatorial tyrants often have strong strength, otherwise there is no way to be dictatorial. "
The situation is still very stalemate....
David Lawrence sighed again, "Things are getting worse and worse. The situation in San Antonio is slipping into the abyss, and that bastard Victor didn't do anything this time. This is too unusual.
Victor's inaction disturbed me even more. Now I really hope that the Aurora Legion can intervene, but that kid is really calm. "
Being calm often means..., moving like a mountain, moving like a thunder.
