Chapter 123 123 "The Second Silence in the Synagogue, Why Is It Always Us."
Chapter 123 123· "The second silence in the synagogue, why is it always us."
October 29, 2024, 5:51 a.m. Eastern Time - there are still nineteen minutes left before Chris presses the "God's Thoughts" button and starts the "Fallen Angel" operation.
Island Flower, the first building, or the first shelter.
"Mr. Aikawa! Mr. Aikawa!" Aikawa Ryoki's room was pushed open in an almost violent manner, and then the secretary rushed in in a panic. After turning his head for a moment, he found and rushed to Aikawa Ryoki who was resting on a lounge chair in the corner.
"Mr. Aikawa——" He was still repeating his noisy shouting. In this case, no one could continue to sleep.
Aikawa Ryoki sat up with his upper body and breathed twice gently, seeming to calm down. After that, he turned to look at the clock on the wall, and while starting to get dressed, he asked: "What's wrong? What happened again?" Is it unexpected?"
He was no longer surprised when something unexpected happened.
"Flying Eagle is going to launch a full-scale nuclear attack on us! They are currently conducting a referendum. Once the vote is passed, we will be annihilated!" the secretary said hurriedly, saliva splashing from his mouth.
Aikawa Ryoki's movements in getting dressed paused slightly. When he started to act again, he became extremely fast and did not care about details. Although his expression was still calm, it was enough to show that his heart was not so calm.
Well, it looks like there was an accident.
"Show me, are there any records like screen recording?" Aikawa Ryoki quickly walked to the desk, reawakened the computer's dormant screen, and asked at the same time.
"Yes, yes, right here!" The secretary hurriedly stepped forward and said.
While showing the key points in the screen recording to Aikawa Ryoki, the secretary said angrily:
"Mr. Aikawa, Feiying is framing us! In order not to offend them, we deliberately left a trail. We have never mistreated those Feiying people, and we even gave them the best treatment!
This is a naked crime! It's a dirty slur! "
"Oh - convene an emergency meeting immediately and ask everyone to gather in the auditorium within five minutes." Aikawa Ryoki did not respond to the secretary, but stood up and walked quickly out the door.
"yes!"
"The wire is broken."
When he walked to the door, Aikawa Ryoki's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
Five minutes later, the auditorium.
The current leadership of Shima Flower gathered here again. Most of them were disheveled and had messy hairstyles. Some of them were even bleary-eyed and did not look like they had slept at all.
But their mental state, after learning the purpose of the meeting and the content of Feiying's press conference, their sleepiness and confusion disappeared instantly.
The chill brought freshness, and the feeling that enveloped everyone in the auditorium turned into absolute fear.
They have experienced a sudden 'the end of the world is coming', and they should have been in a big heart, but now, an 'island flower is coming to the end of the world' has shattered the defenses of their hearts again.
"Mr. Aikawa, we can't contact Feiying, they seem to have cut off all contact lines with us.
Not only were we unable to contact their outreach, we were also unable to contact other officials currently serving at Feiying. "
The outreach representative still had a desk phone in his hand and was even trying to dial a number. He reported to Aikawa Ryoki anxiously and annoyedly.
"I can't get in touch either. Obviously, Chris doesn't want us to disturb them." Aikawa Ryoki sat on the stage with a dark expression.
He had already used his own private number.
Even using Kishimoto Tao's number, but the result did not change.
Hope became slim again, fear became more profound, and people in the synagogue began to speak in confusion:
"What on earth is Fei Ying doing? As for that? We just left some supplies! Didn't all the people be returned to them?"
"Their slander... Yes! Yes! Since it is a referendum now, wouldn't it be good as long as we announce the truth to all Flying Eagle people?
We can apologize again and bow and kneel! In this way, the Flying Eagle will definitely not choose to launch a full-scale attack! Our crisis has been resolved! "
"Mr. Chris, let's show the truth immediately and kneel down to apologize! Go and interfere with Feiying's public opinion and make them vote against it! This way we will still be saved!"
Chris raised his head and sighed softly:
"We will definitely hold a press conference here, but it will definitely not be now."
"As for public opinion, attempts have been made, but the chances are slim - now that the shelter has been built, it is much easier to control the Internet and public opinion than before.
Since they have dared to fabricate our actions, it is obvious that they dare to ensure that we cannot expose this matter.
If nothing else happens, I am afraid that all of our follow-up press conference related explanations will be intercepted by Feiying, or they will be concluded that "this is a lie we are telling."
What's more, you and I are both people who have sat in this position. Do the results of voting really mean anything?
As long as Chris has made a decision, then I can guarantee that the final result will be in favor.
They...they want to use us as a stepping stone for their emotional rise. "
Aikawa Ryoki's somewhat dejected words, although he keenly analyzed Chris's thoughts, brought silence back to the auditorium.
Everyone couldn't help but recall the last silence - the last time they gathered here was to deal with Dong's fleet, and it was like this now. All measures could not be implemented and they could only stare.
Now this despair is replicated by Flying Eagle.
But Feiying is even more ruthless. What Dong needs is his own apology, but what Feiying wants is the destruction of his country!
——Both countries seem to be using their own island flowers as a stepping stone to improve domestic sentiment and help the country better survive the era of natural disasters... No, it's sick!
Our island flower country is provoking you to provoke you... Well, it seems that we are provoking you a little, but it is not like this!
You can’t even catch a sheep with wool!
But no matter how much everyone complains in their hearts, this fact cannot be changed.
"...Weren't there any fierce attitudes on Feiying's side before? We thought this was the acquiesced result of both parties, right? Why did it suddenly evolve into this..." Someone said in despair.
"I'm afraid Chris didn't react violently because he decided to deal with us like this from the beginning." Aikawa Ryoki sighed softly, "Why did he do this...actually, I don't understand either."
Wouldn't it be better to threaten yourself with a full-scale attack?
At least you can get back or even get more supplies, destroy a country, and get nothing, right?
Are emotions that important?
Time passed bit by bit, and everyone's proposals were put forward one by one and rejected one by one. They really couldn't think of how to intervene in this matter now.
At this time, a country seems so weak and helpless.
"Ding."
Everyone looked at the screen on the stage in silence, because twenty minutes had passed.
Chris and Boy, whom they hated and feared beyond measure, took to the stage.
Everyone in the auditorium was still staring at this scene with the last hope.
Until that despairing proportion appeared before our eyes.
The disparity is extreme.
"Everyone, the time has come. This is the result. I swear on my name, Chris, that there is no falsification of any data. It has withstood all tests. It seems that most people have the same idea as me."
"Then the comprehensive attack on the island flower, codenamed "Fallen Angel", will begin at nine o'clock tomorrow morning on time. "
"Bang." Someone seemed to have lost the support of his body and collapsed in his position.
This kind of statement and this kind of proportion do not seem to be fabricated.
Chris's slander was very successful, and he made the entire Flying Eagle hate Island Flower.
"Mr. Aikawa, our people finally got in touch, but... the response they got was an ultimatum. They said that the crackdown has been confirmed and will not change due to any circumstances." The external relations representative also spoke in a low voice at this time. .
A strong sense of despair enveloped the entire auditorium.
"Do we have any chance of intercepting these warheads?"
There was no sadness or joy in the expression on Aikawa Ryoki's face. He turned to look at the military representative and asked.
The military representative looked gloomy and shook his head mechanically: "Sorry, Mr. Aikawa, we can't do it at all."
"In the entire Blue Star, there are only three countries, Dongguo, Beimao, and Feiying, that have the ability to intercept such warheads."
There are only a handful of countries in the entire Blue Star that have nuclear weapons, let alone researching how to intercept nuclear weapons.
"Can you contact Dongguo or Beimaoguo and ask them to help us intercept? The conditions can be negotiated." Aikawa Ryoki asked.
Now it is truly a matter of life and death for our country, and no conditions are unacceptable.
"Mr. Aikawa, I can do this with the people from the External Relations Department later, but I want to make a statement in advance, please don't have too much hope in this matter, no, this is almost a hopeless thing. "The military representative said.
"Beimao and Dongguo are very close to us. Before the era of natural disasters comes, there is enough time left for us to send supplies to them! As long as the supplies are in place, they will agree. Nothing is impossible, as long as there are enough benefits. !”
Before Aikawa Ryoki could speak, the people in the auditorium couldn't wait to speak.
Interception, this has become the only life-saving straw for some people present.
"When I say there is no hope, I don't mean whether they will agree to our matter." The military representative shook his head and said, "What I want to say is that even if Beimao and Dongdu agree to intercept for us, there is no chance of interception. Still not big.
Interception of land-based strikes can be carried out from three angles, the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage of launch. However, as far as I know, because the distance in the early stage is too far and the speed in the late stage is too fast, Northeast Mao Feiying is studying interception in the middle stage.
But even among the three countries, unless they know all the established trajectories of the missiles, no country dares to say that they can intercept it 100%, and their anti-missile systems have never rehearsed intercepting them here. "
In fact, what the military representative said was a bit euphemistic.
Targeted defense is inherently much more difficult than offense. When nuclear bombs can be completely intercepted, nuclear deterrence no longer exists - and nuclear deterrence still exists today, doesn't it?
The Dao is as high as the devil, and there are many ways to prevent your nuclear bomb from being intercepted.
Countries that control nuclear weapons have warheads with irregular trajectories, fake warheads that confuse the enemy, warheads that can split on their own... there are all kinds of warheads.
The anti-missile systems of Dongfang, Beimao and Feiying are still in the experimental stage. If the interception rate can exceed 50%, it is considered excellent.
Add to this the temporary nature of the matter and the distance between countries...
"Secondly, Feiying is very clear about our strength and internal layout. We are almost naked in front of them. I even have reason to suspect that there may be guidance devices in the bases they left behind. .
These factors make their ballistic trajectories, especially sea-based missiles, even more difficult to estimate and intercept.
In addition, they said that this is a "total attack", it is obvious that there will be more than one flower on our island, not only the two in history, but an unimaginable number.
No one on this planet can stop this. "
After the military representative finished speaking with some disappointment, he walked out of the auditorium with the external relations representative. His steps were a bit mechanical, as if his soul had been taken away.
The image from the back is that of running away.
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point again.
No one would think that he was being alarmist, or in other words, they had actually accepted the answer in their hearts.
"That is to say...no matter what, today...is the last day of our island flower? Will our country no longer exist on the Blue Star tomorrow?" Someone murmured to himself in despair.
Converting the Eagle time, the time when the Eagle's full strike begins is 11:40 pm, and the flight time of the warhead is almost ten to twenty minutes, so at the latest at 0:00 tonight, the island flower will be ushered in That desperate blow.
"Aikawa Ryoki! Why did you make this decision in the first place! You shouldn't have tried to touch the flying eagle's things! It was you who killed us! You, like Kishimoto Tao, are the sinners of our island flower!" Someone suddenly shouted roar.
Aikawa Ryoki looked up at the other party, his eyes were calm.
He remembered this person. This decision was indeed led by him, but everyone agreed. When there was no response from Feiying a few days ago, he had been praising the exquisiteness of his decision, but now he has turned his back.
Aikawa Ryoki was not very angry. People are always like this. At such times, it is always necessary to place the responsibility for failure on one person to vent his emotions.
Before it was Kishimoto - although he deserved it, now it was his turn.
"Maybe I am." Aikawa Ryoki nodded and said in a calm tone: "So what are you going to do? Do you want to kill me? Or let me leave this position now? As long as this is your idea, I accept it. .”
Aikawa Ryouki originally thought that he would become the hero who saved the building from collapse, but he did not expect that the building would not only collapse in his own hands, but also turn into powder.
But this is something I can’t do.
Resources are in short supply, and relations with neighboring countries have almost dropped to freezing point. The things that Flying Eagle wants to take away are the majority of Island Flowers. Without these supplies, Island Flowers are destined to perish in the future.
Aikawa Ryoki didn't want to leave his country to die.
So the only way left for Aikawa Ryoki is to take risks and dance on the tightrope.
Unfortunately, the steel wire that had been tightened for several days broke today.
"You should step down!" the other party shouted, but no one agreed with him.
What everyone cares about now is not who is in the lead.
"Security! Come in! Take this person out - and keep him under guard!" Seeing that Aikawa Ryoki had not responded, his friend from the same faction stood up and said.
"Mr. Aikawa, this is a decision that all of us have discussed together. You cannot be blamed alone." He said.
"Thank you for your understanding." Aikawa Ryoki responded.
"Mr. Aikawa, what should we do now?"
"Flying Eagle is determined, we cannot change the beginning of the incident, there is little hope of interception, and we cannot change the course of the incident...
The only way left for us...is to run away, right? "
Aikawa Ryoki said with a smile, but his smile at the moment was really a bit bleak.
Everyone looked at Aikawa Ryoki.
There is no need for Aikawa Ryoki to say this. In fact, they were all thinking about 'escape' just now - what's more, they were thinking about this issue from the beginning.
If you want to survive now, you can only leave Island Flower.
But how to run - what vehicle to use, where to run - what country can accept them and take them through the era of natural disasters...
These have become problems that trouble them.
"I know what you are thinking, but what I want to talk about now may be different from what you think." Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Aikawa Ryoki said.
"——I hope that the news that our island flower country is about to perish tonight will be disclosed to all island flower people now."
