Chapter 1907: Doubt
Chicago, Illinois.
Due to the many nuclear bombs that New York suffered, Zhou Qingfeng's more than a dozen "Dongfeng 3" bombardments destroyed a large number of government buildings, and the threat of the Aurora Legion aircraft carrier, David Lawrence had to transfer the ruling center of the Enclave to this place. America's third largest city away from the coast.
"We were forced by that bastard to retreat the capital more than a thousand kilometers. 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 bombed. The ground plague is prevalent, 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 and kill our long-range early warning radars for missile early warning and anti-satellite, which makes us very passive. "
"You are content, we should be happy to destroy the satellite network of the Aurora Legion first. Otherwise, let him keep all kinds of navigation, communication, and reconnaissance satellites, and our life will be even more difficult. You still think about how to deal with the plague that is everywhere now. situation."
"This is all an order from you idiot. Who told you to use biological and chemical weapons? Now we are extremely passive. Not to mention that we are completely isolated diplomatically, even the internal support rate is constantly declining."
"I just released some anthrax experimentally. Who knew that the Aurora Legion released the mutant virus. Others don't know, but I know that my talented student Nova must have been abducted by Victor Hugo. There are also original samples of the mutant virus."
"That's why I say you're an idiot, idiot, super idiot. Don't tell me you're stupid, and you're still here to entrap me. I really wish I could kill you, a disgusting fellow."
"I hope you don't forget, if you kill me, you have to die too."
Chicago is a lakeside city where the Enclave places its governing body. However, David Lawrence's presidential residence is not in the city, but on an island in Lake Michigan - the Naval Station in the Great Lakes of the United States.
Enclave cleaned up the ammunition arsenal of the naval station on the island, and transformed it into a solid bunker deep underground for the use of the President. A marine brigade of about 3,000 people is stationed on the island, which is heavily guarded and closely guarded. Few people know that the key to the Enclave is actually here.
At this moment, there was a constant quarrel in the underground presidential office, and all kinds of violent and chaotic voices came from the open door. Angie sat on an armchair outside the office, listening to the sounds in the office with his ears up.
Opposite Angie is Dania's big desk. This woman has recently climbed up to the position of the President's personal secretary and manages the huge presidential palace attendant room. All major and minor matters within the Enclave had to pass through her before they could be delivered to the President's desk.
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 will come out if it is slightly louder. Dania looked up and saw Angie's focused gaze, and immediately got up and closed the door tightly, and the noise inside could no longer be heard.
"Who is the person arguing with my father?" Anji asked indifferently while sitting still.
"A senior government official." Dania smiled, obviously not telling the truth.
"When will I see my father and how long will I have to wait?"
"I have already notified, it depends on when His Excellency the President is free. You know that the President has been very busy recently."
After a few short words, Angie continued to stare at the strange woman opposite. Dania kept her head down and continued working as if Angie didn't exist.
"Your work efficiency is too slow. Have you never done such complicated secretarial work before?" After a while, Angie asked again.
Dania looked up with a smile, but said frankly without minding: "Yes, I'm really not very good at secretary work. But it doesn't matter, I can still do it well."
Angie continued to taunt unceremoniously: "It's useless, your work efficiency has become a bottleneck in the operation of the government,
All are waiting for you to speed up. If you have seen the work team of Lena Fox of the Aurora Legion, you will understand that your abilities are far worse than professionals. "
"Oh, if you have any good suggestions, welcome to make them."
"My suggestion is that you get out, and letting me come is better than you."
The repeated sarcastic remarks finally made Dania change color slightly. The woman showed a little anger but suppressed her smile and said: "Miss Angie, you can make this suggestion to the president. As long as the president is willing to change, I don't mind letting you Come."
From Dania's formulaic smile, Angie tasted another opposite meaning - my position is unshakable, you can't replace me.
The two women exchanged words like this for several rounds, and the 'David Lawrence' in the presidential office finally had time to see his daughter. Angie walked past Dania's desk when he walked into the office, and deliberately let out a cold snort.
Due to the state of war, the president's office is quite rudimentary. There are no bright floor-to-ceiling windows, no spacious space, and no well-equipped suites. There is only a pale fluorescent light shining through.
'David Lawrence' sat behind a desk, which was covered with various phones, computers and folders. His face was still very haggard, and he couldn't see the image of the majestic and heroic in the past. Instead, his back was bent and his skin was loose, as if he was twenty or thirty years old.
"Angie." 'David Lawrence' shouted hoarsely. After all, he still had some affection for his daughter, and his mood was much happier. "How are you recently?"
"Not very well." Angie shook her head, "Actually, I also want to ask, Dad, are you okay?"
"Ah..., I'm not too well either." 'David Lawrence' sighed bitterly and said with a wry smile, "That little bastard Victor is really troublesome, he has too many means, forcing all our recent ground offensives to stop.
You know, I spent a lot of effort to inspire the fighting spirit of white North Americans. Once the momentum of attack is stopped, once the victories cannot be won consecutively, once the struggle is repeated, the fighting spirit and morale will be exhausted quickly.
I am going to fight Victor, and I will forcefully suppress him even if millions of people die. But he was so ruthless that he actually used biochemical weapons. The situation is really bad if it drags on for too long.
Angie, you have to trust me. This biohazard was not ordered by me to spread. Victor is framing me, and he did it. But now no one believes my refutation, and I am also very distressed. "
In front of his daughter, 'David Lawrence' poured out a lot of bitterness. Angie nodded, "I know it must have been done by Victor. He's the kind of person who can do anything once he sets his mind to it.
But this time North America was really hit hard. We have never had so many people die after the cataclysm. The report from the medical system kept me awake at night. The military keeps shooting infected citizens out of fear of them mutating and infecting others.
Especially now that we have lost the input of external commodities, public affairs have almost collapsed. The number of infected people is increasing, and the epidemic is currently spreading from the south to the north,… "
The lethality 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 than the number of deaths on the battlefield of World War I.
And now the epidemic in North America is alarming the whole world. The current global health system is very fragile. In order to avoid being infected, other continents immediately cut off all ties with North America, for fear that this terrible "Enclave Virus" would spread to their own territory.
Angie wanted to persuade his father to stop the war and find a way to reconcile with the Aurora Legion. Don't wait for her to speak. The opposite 'David Lawrence' suddenly interrupted: "Angie, do you still remember what I told you?"
"What words?"
"It's that Victor kid, I talked to you once after he publicly announced that he was going to be emperor in your Washington, D.C. area. Remember?"
Angie was taken aback, and quickly recalled that there was such a conversation - David Lawrence said that he would marry Angie to Victor Hugo, and said that he would not give up fighting for hegemony in North America.
Angie didn't understand what her father meant, and quickly said: "Dad, I don't hate you anymore. I have forgiven you for ruining my marriage. I know that I have to bear such responsibilities when I was born into this family. Now I just want to help you……."
"No." 'David Lawrence' interrupted again: "Angie, I want you to do what I said now. Go, I'm still busy."
The meeting between the father and daughter ended here, and Angie, who was full of doubts, was kicked out. When she left the room in a daze, she suddenly heard another 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 bang, Dania closed the door of the president's office tightly, looked at Angie with a smile, and signaled her to leave quickly.
But Angie suddenly felt creepy, with goosebumps all over his body—David Lawrence has become very strange since he was kidnapped by Tony Parker to Denver last time. There are all kinds of incomprehensible words and actions.
Now that David Lawrence is the only one in the office, who is the other voice? Where is that person?
