Catherine was not a dim-witted person, otherwise she would not have graduated from high school with honors.

When teachers begin to advocate "living life happily," those who can still maintain excellent academic performance are either those who have seen through the hypocrisy of the impetuous society, or students who have really good minds.

As a teenage student, she is exposed to the environment of a closed society on campus. She cannot master the ability to see through the nature of society, so she is the latter and has a pretty good mind.

The call ended. The officer smiled and talked about Lynch, "Mr. Lynch is indeed a very cultured person. He is completely different from another bastard. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Catherine shook her head, "He just wanted to know my current situation and asked me to take my medicine on time."

"Are you sick?", the officer asked.

Catherine smiled apologetically, "Yes, I haven't been feeling well lately."

After the officer was silent for a while, he said "Sorry". The reason for his apology was that he had done a very bad thing and kidnapped a woman who was in poor health.

He felt that he was a partner of justice and should apologize. Catherine understood what he meant, but chose to forgive him.

At this time, everyone knows how to choose the right choice.

Catherine returned to her seat, and Senator Langdon briefly chatted with her before shutting up.

The officer left the conference room, and a confidant responsible for monitoring told him what Che had heard.

As Catherine said, there was nothing illegal, Lynch just told her to take her medicine and told her everything would be fine.

Outside, Lynch shook his head slightly after hanging up the phone. He then looked at the sergeant, "Are everything set up?"

The sergeant nodded, "Everything is set up."

Lynch could not guarantee the safety of others, he could only guarantee the safety of Catherine. He gave Catherine a "little puzzle". He believed that there were still several hours before Catherine could figure it out.

Those windows on the front of the Capitol are actually the offices of senators and important committees, and the offices of representatives and rank-and-file staff are on the interior or backlit side of the building.

This is a principle that is common all over the world. After all, nothing can warm the heart more than sunshine, so big people like rooms facing south.

Especially in winter, a warm room is bathed in moderate sunlight, while reading, working, processing documents, and making a cup of coffee. This is the ideal working and studying state.

Catherine's office is also in the room facing south. About 150 meters away from it, the staff of the Flight Research Institute are setting up infrared transmitters.

At the same time, a large number of snipers gathered nearby. The scopes they used were equipped with infrared functions. After the light completely dimmed, it was still like daylight to them.

The door to the senator's office is designed to be anti-theft, because the Capitol building has been burglarized and some important information was lost more than once.

Therefore, the doors to the senators' offices in the Capitol are very strong. They are made of solid wood on the surface, but there is actually a layer of steel plate on the inside. Once locked, it is difficult to break open.

As long as Catherine figures out where the "medicine" is, she will definitely return to her office, and at this time the sniper ambushing outside will come into play.

Catherine went to work normally today, and the curtains in her room must have been open, and of course they were indeed open now.

After she entered the room, a firepower network of more than ten meters of snipers was able to guard the door.

When the people blocking the door were cleared, she only had to close the door and everything would be safe.

As for the others?
Lynch doesn't have that much energy to help them for the time being, and the reason for Lynch to make such a decision is that the Presidential Palace decided to launch a full-scale infiltration or even an attack after twelve o'clock tonight!

The professors and the chairman of the Conservative Committee, as well as the chairman of the other two parties were all in the presidential palace, plus the main officials of other departments, and finally they decided not to compromise on this matter!
In fact, Connor himself knew very well that these terrorists were not delaying to seek opportunities to leave, but just hoped that Peleus and his group could go further!

Now that the negotiation is over, and the staff believes that there is more than 70.00% chance that the Capitol will explode, why would he still compromise?
As the president of the Progressive Party's radical wing, when he has no choice, he must choose the decision that best suits his image and position to consolidate his authority among the people.

The decision has been made, but how to prevent them from detonating the bomb immediately?
The families of these terrorists will also enter the Capitol with the commando troops. Anyway, if you want to have fun, let's have a big time.

Either everyone dies together, or they are shot dead and the rescue is successful.

Of course at the base of all this is Lynch's role.

They have probably targeted several ships and routes used by the younger generation of the Peleus family to escape. If they take action here, they will sink the transport ship there.

Double insurance!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, basically all the personnel had been arranged and decorated, waiting for the sky to darken.

At nearly [-]:[-], Peleus' grandfather, the admiral, came to the presidential palace in person.

He came alone, with two of his own guards. The guards were detained in a safe place outside the Presidential Palace, while the old admiral entered the Presidential Palace directly, came to the small office, and met Connor face to face. conversation. "Mr. President, I am 71 years old this year. I have experienced 13 presidents in my life. You are the [-]th president, and you are very likely to be the last president in my life."

"I don't know when our relationship with the federal government became so... stiff, and even turned hostile. We should not be enemies in the first place."

The admiral's eyes were cloudy, but they were very bright. Under the cloudy surface, there was a bright look that struck straight into the soul.

Connor did not speak, but just looked at him. The admiral smiled slightly, "Since the day the federal government was established, our family has been serving the federal government. It can even be said that our family laid the foundation of the federal military."

One thing he ignored was that the "founders" of the Federal Navy were actually the first batch of sailors and captains who came to the Federation. They formed the first Federal Navy, although there were only five three-masted sailing ships.

But it was indeed a very powerful force at the time.

The ancestor of the Peleus family was the captain of one of the ships.

After many years of development, the family's power in the navy has experienced ups and downs. The main reason is that after capital began to grow, the power of capital forced the navy to include many people from the capital side.

In the subsequent competition between power and capital, the military, as the most special link, gradually got rid of the control of the federal government and federal capitalists and began to become detached.

So in a strict sense, what the Admiral said is correct. They are the founders, but they are just one of them, not all of them.

The Peleus family truly controlled most of the navy only after the admiral defeated Gevra's Princess Fleet.

His personal prestige reached its peak within the navy, and he successfully reached the top under the God-making Movement.

"It is recorded in our family that there are more than 200 members who have dedicated their lives to the stability of the Federation. If we average it according to the history of the Federation, one family member will sacrifice his life for the Federation almost every year."

"Our loyalty to the Confederacy should never be, nor needs to be, questioned!"

Connor couldn't help but interrupt him at this time, "Not only are you dedicating your lives to the Federation, but the number of ordinary soldiers is countless times greater than yours!"

"And what you are doing now is completely different from what you said. You are threatening the security of the Federation!"

The admiral shook his head slightly, "We just want to protect ourselves and survive."

"Mr. President, I understand where you are coming from, and I have a suggestion."

"Please say!"

"Let's get this thing sorted out and let's get out safely. We'll go to a country far away from the Federation. If the Ice Age does come and lasts for millions of years as those experts say, it will last for millions of years."

"Then there is no doubt that we will never see each other again. Even the hatred, joy, hatred, and unwillingness left to us will disappear in the long river of time."

"We just want to protect ourselves. You can claim to the outside world that we have...received the punishment we deserve, death or imprisonment, whatever."

"We stay away from here and never come back. Wouldn't this be able to achieve your goal?"

Connor hesitated, neither refusing nor agreeing, "I need to discuss it with everyone."

The admiral made a "please" gesture, "That's your right, Mr. President, but I hope we can get an answer soon."

"Because time is really running out!"

Connor made people optimistic about the admiral, and then immediately summoned the cabinet members and staff, including Lynch.

He told the admiral his thoughts, and everyone agreed with the agreement.

As long as they don't come back, the result is actually the same as killing them.

When the time comes, the Department of Defense will fully take over the naval branch and clean it from top to bottom. It will still be the naval branch of the federal government.

Even Lynch has nothing to object to, because once these people leave the Federation and never come back, when the Ice Age comes, they will become people in another world.

And he may not let them live until the Ice Age comes. Some things are much more convenient to do abroad than at home.

A consensus of opinion was quickly reached at the Presidential Palace. Before dinner, Connor exchanged opinions with the admiral, and both parties were satisfied with the result.

Connor even invited the admiral to dinner, which was attended by Lynch, the Secretary of Defense, the Undersecretary, the Secretary of Finance, the Secretary of International Affairs, etc.

After the meal, around [-]:[-], with everyone watching, the admiral picked up the phone and dialed the Congressional number.

I just don’t know why, but after he said a few words, the smile on his face gradually cooled down...
