Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

He gradually changed from the voice of his heart to the words on his lips, until the time counted down, he stood up slowly, raised his pocket watch to his eyes, and said loudly:

"3! 2! 1!—"

"Don't move!" A loud shout suddenly overwhelmed the accountant's order to set off. The Shenchi army who stood up and was about to charge did not recover and received the wrong order. The sudden stop made most of them, who were already wearing bulky clothes, His feet slipped, and he either staggered a few steps, or simply fell to the ground inadvertently.But well-trained soldiers are soldiers after all, and they quickly came to their senses, realizing that someone had seen through their ambush, put their hands on the ground, and quickly wanted to get up.

But when they tried to raise their arms, the arm, which was always free anyway, disobeyed its master for the first time.Not only that, the legs, feet, body, and even the expression on the face froze quickly, as if the video tape had been pressed the pause button. If you add the countdown of three two one just now, it seems to be playing "one two three, wooden man "The wooden man forced to remain still.

The accountant looked at everything in front of him in astonishment. His soldiers, including himself, had become a vivid sculpture at this moment, opening an excellent sculpture exhibition on this lonely great plain.He didn't know what happened, and wanted to look around, but the locked head made him search back and forth with all his eyesight within the range of his sight.

Finally, he noticed the small sound slowly approaching in the sky.

One by one, the display screens were disassembled, revealing the core of the internal Originium conduction system, and the drones slowly flew in, with an ominous red light emitting from the center.

"Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-"

Accompanied by the ear-piercing alarm sound, the drone lost power and fell to the ground slumped.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The crackling explosion sounds like the second kicker that sells hot during the Spring Festival.

PS: I saw that some readers felt that it was a bit unreasonable for Victoria to fail to single out a military talent, and felt that it did not meet the requirements of world hegemony.

Let me give you a simple example: the great cleansing of the USSR, the loving father washed the leadership of the Soviet army once, so I don’t need to give more examples of how serious the failure of the officers of the USSR was at that time.I believe that those who have studied history must know that our textbooks clearly pointed out that the Great Cleansing led to the lack of leadership in the Soviet Army. Many recruits were directly promoted from privates to non-commissioned officers and then pushed to the battlefield to fight. both.This is also one of the reasons why San Dezi was able to advance quickly to Moscow in the early stage.

And Wayne has washed it three times here.The King of the North washed the former King's party once, Wei Na came to power, and Wayne used Wei Na's hand to wash the King's party in the North once, and the whole party was washed again after the Normandy rebellion.After three major purges, what kind of talents can be left behind.If it weren't for Victoria's rich background, three major purges would have been enough to disintegrate the army directly.

I know that there are many novels where the main character engages in a big purge to kill the opposition, but there are a few people who write about the consequences of the big purge. And cool, then why should I cut Victoria, and then open academies from various places to recruit officers to make up for the gaps? Isn't it true that I am strengthening Victoria madly?

Talented people came out in large numbers after the great purge, and everyone yearned for the hegemony of the Victorian world. Generals from enemy countries came to vote one after another, and generals from their own countries emerged one after another.It can indeed explain everything, but I can't bear to write it out like this.Because it was unreasonable, you launched a big purge, and the enthusiasm for serving as soldiers in your country was halved immediately. People who dare to send them in will have concerns, let alone enemy generals. You can’t even trust your own people. They are looking for death.

So Wayne opened the academy, and Kazdel, who had a large number of recruits and a large loss of talents, filled the vacancy during this period.The Royal Victoria Military Academy is also open, but it takes four years for an ordinary university to train a student. Does it take less than half a year to train an officer?impossible.

I have deliberated over all the settings, and I wrote it only if it is reasonable or not. There is no such thing as forced behavior for the sake of coolness, trust me.

Chapter 19 Wait till dawn

Victoria, Hill County Garrison Camp, 9:00 p,m

Colonel Hamilton stared intently at the dark forest in the distance, but there was already a bit of fatigue in his eyes.He waved to the side, and the adjutant next to him immediately stepped forward, without Hamilton needing to say more, he replied with ease:

"Report sir, the time is now nine o'clock in the evening."

"It's nine o'clock?" Hamilton wiped his eyes, and stood next to the high-power searchlight for a long time, staring at the dark area with great light difference in the distance, which really damaged his eyesight, coupled with the long-term concentration, He was already a little nervous, "It's already nine o'clock, is Shenchi still going to fight? Could the intelligence be wrong?"

Sir Weinert was standing next to him. Since 08:30, Sir Weinert walked out of the barracks and came to the scene. His original intention was to make up his mind to advance and retreat with Xiaoqiu County, live and die together, and die at the same time. on the battlefield.But I didn't expect that after standing in the bitter cold wind for half an hour in December, the old bones were almost frozen to pieces, and I didn't see half of the deep pool.

But theoretically speaking, it is impossible for information to go wrong.Weicao had no reason to lie to herself, even if she wanted to play the wolf's trick, the Xiaoqiu County garrison who had reached a life-and-death situation had no room for carelessness.Besides, the freshly wiped blood on the two headlights and the smell of blood in the air also reminded everyone present that the arrival of Shenchi was definitely not a joke.

Hamilton frowned, and suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, did the reinforcements from Londinium not see anyone?"

In the office, the two of them received a fax from Londinium to send reinforcements. Although not everyone in Victoria has the habit of checking their clocks, how can a society that regards the clock tower as one of the national symbols keep watch? The concept of time is not too bad.Now an hour has passed since the scheduled meeting time at eight o'clock, so it's fine if the enemies in Shenchi didn't see it, but why is there no sign of the defenders of Londinium?

how?Both the enemy and us have colluded to amuse me?

Weinert also came back to his senses when he heard it. Indeed, apart from the deep pool, the reinforcements promised by Londinium have also disappeared. Now that neither party has come, he has a quick brain and speculates uncertainly:

"I said...won't it be the reinforcements fighting with Shenchi?"

Hamilton was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered the unknown voices he heard from all directions in the barracks in the early eight o'clock.

At first it was thunder like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, but tonight the weather was fine and there were no dark clouds, then there was the pounding of armored armor, but it was rhythmless and fleeting, and then the roar of strange monsters was deafening, But the direction is unpredictable. In the end, there was a series of bangs like the explosion of firecrackers, which came from the north, but when Hamilton asked the soldiers stationed in the north, he found nothing unusual.

At that time, Hamilton thought that those weird noises were the same as the blood on the two headlights behind him. It was a clumsy trick of the Shenchi rebels to shake the morale of the army. It is to focus on dealing with possible raids in the forest directly ahead.

Now that I think about it, those voices could not be that the arriving Londinium reinforcements have fought against the Shenchi troops, right?

Hamilton suddenly felt his scalp tingle. The soldiers of Lentinium are indeed not under his control. They have their own numbers and officers. If the leader is a certain grand duke or a hot celebrity in the palace, it is completely illegal to act without authorization. predictable things.But it was hard for me. Hamilton didn't know whether the support troops won or how to support them, and he didn't dare to give up the last fortress of the rear garrison. He led the army out to search without authorization, so he could only stand in front of this gate Wait?

"What shall we do next, Colonel?" Seeing that Hamilton's expression was not quite right, Sir Weinert hesitated for a while, but asked proactively.

Hamilton glanced at him. For the time being, he couldn't figure out whether the situation in front of him was caused by Weinert's false information or the private action of the Lundinium reinforcements. Naturally, the expression on the special envoy's face was not much better, it was dull After a while, Cai cherished the words like gold and replied:

"Wait."

"Wait until dawn."

.........

"Wait, there will be a result before dawn."

On the high ground about two moving blocks away from the garrison camp in Xiaoqiu County, Ahmoni frowned tightly, ignoring Mandela's angry glaring expression, wishing to eat him, and said to herself,

"There may be some accidents in the operation, but in any case, we can only wait until dawn. If the six of them have not returned, we will retreat. Shenchi must not abandon our compatriots."

Ahmoni said righteously.Of course, her so-called not being able to abandon her compatriots is just that she can't set a precedent. This will cause Celtic as the leader to lose prestige and the hearts of the people who have finally gathered together.It has nothing to do with caring about the lives of soldiers.

Seeing that glaring was useless, Mandela stood up stubbornly even though she was covered in injuries, and walked outside.Ahmoni's unattractive face suddenly turned dark again, and asked:

"Where are you going, Mandela?"

"Go clean up those scumbags in Xiaoqiu County!" Mandela stood still, but did not look back, and cursed angrily, "I said earlier that I should lead the team in this battle. But you insist on Let me come back, and lie to me that the leader has a task to give me, just to let those six trash destroy our good situation?"

"I don't want to wait for the leader to arrive. Even if there is even a piece of land in Xiaoqiu County that belongs to Victoria, I will clean up this dirt with my own hands!"

The corner of Ahmoni's mouth twitched, sometimes she couldn't understand how Mandela's brain grew, when did Shenchi have the so-called "good situation"?

Starting from raising troops in Shenchi to attacking Xiaoqiu County again at this moment, the entire organization has always been walking on a tightrope, every step is like walking on thin ice, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.The reason why Shenchi has not been officially wiped out is due to the indifference of Victoria's internal careerists, the appeal of "King Drake" among the Tara people, and the fact that one after another can't understand Victoria's growing Overt and covert help from people who are big and who seem to want to grow up all the time.

But Ahmani is very clear, and the leader is also very clear that these things are nothing but illusions. As long as Victoria shows a little tough attitude, the group of sponsors will disperse, especially when Her Majesty the Queen said the sentence "Yes Shen Chi and all individuals, organizations or countries that support Shen Chi declare war" After the shocking speech, several organizations that had secretly expressed their support for Shen Chi withdrew their messengers that night.

They don't have the guts to go against Victoria at all!Most people just hope that Shenchi can disgust Victoria a little bit. Once they find that the price they have to pay exceeds the benefits they get, these speculators will be the first to leave the market.

But they probably didn't know that the reason why Shenchi dared to launch this large-scale rebellion was because they were never alone.

It was never just people outside of Victoria who were dissatisfied with Victoria today.

Chapter 20 originally represented your sister, I thought it represented the queen

Victoria, Downs, 12 December.morning.

When the cold winter sun covered the double moons of the land of Terra with its not warm light, and the land of Xiaoqiu County was brightly illuminated, Colonel Hamilton, who had already put on a heavy cotton coat, rubbed his tired eyes, I just feel that my eyelids have never been half as heavy as this morning.

Waiting for a whole night, the garrison of Xiaoqiu County waited outside the barracks in the cold and windy winter night, waiting for a full hour, but in the end nothing came.There was no chaos in Deep Pool, nor reinforcements from Londinium, and the near-zero weather made it impossible for Hamilton to even see a mosquito.

Looking at the dense forest in the distance under the bright sky, Hamilton finally couldn't hold back, and said to the deputy beside him:

"Take 20 people and go to the forest with me."

As he spoke, he grabbed Weinert who was drowsy, and his strong wrist squeezed Weinert's shoulder so painfully.Hamilton said coldly,

"Sir Weinert also went with him, and arranged for two people to watch him by the way."

Shenchi did not attack, which shows that Sir Weinert's information is very likely to be wrong, it is the false news that Shenchi deliberately released to him, so Sir Weinert's identity has changed from a loyal loyalist who escaped death to A traitor who surrendered and betrayed, falsely passed on information, caused the army to be frozen in the wild overnight, and may delay the military situation.But Hamilton did not dare to make a complete conclusion at this moment, because Sir Weinert also raised the possibility that Londinium and the reinforcements may have fought against the deep pool troops.

The abnormal noise last night seems to support this statement, and this statement can also prove Weinert's innocence.However, the situation last night was complicated. The flares did not have a good effect in the dense forest with lush trees. Hamilton did not dare to rush to send the defenders to investigate the abnormal points in the forest.And now, at dawn, he planned to go and find out in person.

.......

jungle.

The members of the Tower of Babel returned to the assembly point set by Kelsey in the jungle on time after completing their respective tasks.

It is worth mentioning that Teresia was really sweating when she noticed that Wayne and the others came back with Stelter and the others from the mobile support group, thinking of the sound coming from Wayne's direction. With the sound of firecrackers, she thought Wayne was being bombarded by the deep pool troops.

So, when she ran forward worriedly, grabbed [Paradox] and looked up and down, only to find that his clothes weren't even dirty, the undisguised expression of relief simply made the whole Everyone in the Tower of Babel watched a good show.

Leaving aside Patriot and Frost Star, who knew the identity of [Paradox] in advance, Warfarin and Clusil, who followed [Paradox], were stunned for a long time.Warfarin sneaked up to Kelsey's side, and mysteriously began to ask Kelsey about the identity of [Paradox] and his relationship with Theresia, while Keluxie had a complicated expression. Looking at the only drone left in his backpack.She suddenly understood why Mr. [Paradox] could look so natural, and said without hesitation that he would fund her artificial intelligence research, and also understood that Mr. [Padox]'s promise was really not a joke, and her research was indeed received. It has attracted the attention of the top leaders of the Tower of Babel.

But for some reason, watching [Paradox] pulling Teresia, she happily introduced herself to His Royal Highness [Chairman]: "Cursil is a genius, and her invention is very groundbreaking. When I get back, come to my office. Let's talk in detail." When she was talking, she always had a little complicated mood.

Also, why does Mr. Paradox always subconsciously call her a profiteer?She obviously has never opened a store or sold anything.Could it be that he thinks that I have talent in this area?Like he can see my talent in computer technology?

Not noticing the subtle expression on Ke Luxie's face, and not knowing the inner thoughts of the innocent little bat, Kelsey ignored Warfarin's expression of gossip written on her face, stood up and waved waved and said:

"Everyone's tasks have been completed very well. The first operation of the Tower of Babel has officially declared a perfect success. Next, please return to the approaching Lentinium Expeditionary Force quietly, or go to the Lundinium Expeditionary Force on your own Disband and leave. Take your communicators. If there is anything, I or the speaker, as well as the paradox, will notify you from the communicator as soon as possible. If you encounter any danger or trouble, you can also contact us through the special communicator, Babel The tower will help everyone solve it."

"We...don't have a... stronghold code?"

Patriot wondered.He knows the true identity of the upper layer of the Tower of Babel. Whether it is the Demon King of Kazdel, the Guardian of the Earth, or the Prince of Victoria, all three of them have the ability to find a suitable stronghold for the Tower of Babel, but the Tower of Babel Today, it is still a similar "part-time" organization that does not have its own organization headquarters, and has to disband itself to find another way out after completing the task. This is really unreasonable.

Teresia and Kelsey looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Of course, they have the idea of ​​​​opening up their own stronghold for the Tower of Babel, but there is no perfect option yet.A fixed base is not conducive to the hiding of the Tower of Babel, nor is it conducive to the flow of Babel Tower cadres who may go to other places or even foreign countries to perform tasks at any time, and they really don't have that ability. Just like Victoria, if they can't solve the personnel flow, they simply stay in the Bell towers are built everywhere, and everything is settled with money and power.

The best way at present is to build a land-ship, but Kazdel does not yet have that level of industrial capacity and technological level, so he can only hope that there will be some good news from the ruins of Rem Billiton that is about to be excavated. .

However, compared to the hesitation of Kelsey and Theresia, Wayne is much more decisive:

"There will be. We will have one of the most advanced land-ships in the world."

What they can't be sure about, Venn can confirm, regarding the excavation work on Rhodes Island, Venn plans to start in the near future, which requires communication with Kelsey and Theresa.They hold the specific coordinates of Rhodes Island.As for mining equipment and licenses, Wayne will handle it all by himself.Although the current time point is a little later than the time when Teresia dug out Rhodes Island in the original plot, Rhodes Island must also fall into Wayne's hands.

He can be very curious about the information about [PRTS] in the above database, and the official information released by Kelsey about the central space that the remnants of the Tower of Babel like Ke Luxie and the veterans of Rhodes Island have concealed.

More or less guessed the relationship between some paradoxes and the speaker, and with his guarantee, the doubts in everyone's hearts were relieved a lot.The Patriots leave with Froststar to return to Londinium, Logos returns to Kazdel, where he has the Banshee Queen's own spell laboratory, and Sylther and Mudstone will return to the Expeditionary Force. It was Wayne who agreed to Tracy's arrangement. As for Ke Luxie and Warfarin, the two had no fixed place, and finally chose to stay.

"It's still dark, where are we going next?"

Warfarin's personality determines that she doesn't seem to feel sad or melancholy at any time. She always maintains a cheerful personality that is completely different from the gloomy Gorefiends. But having said that, the two Gorefiends Wayne knows so far, None of them are really as cold and severe as the rumors. On the contrary, their personalities are even better than many rich children who live in a good environment and have learned etiquette.But they still have no friends.This shows how serious the stigmatization against the Sarkaz people is spreading on the earth.

With Warfarin, the pistachio, the atmosphere was heated up, and the scene did not become deserted because of the dispersal of the operators. Kelsey cast her eyes on Wayne for advice, and Wayne nodded slightly:

"Go ahead. There's nothing to hide."

Kelsey replied: "We are going to inspect the territory of the Xiaoqiu County Garrison next."

"Oh, go to the garrison, will those arrogant Victorians accept us? Although we helped them settle such a big matter..."

Warfarin subconsciously wanted to scold the Victorians, but she reacted as soon as she spoke, looked at Kelsey in surprise, and asked:

"What, Kelsey, what did you just say we were going to do?"

"Call me doctor. Although the mission is over now, please maintain the basic etiquette." Kelsey corrected, "We are here for inspection."

Warfarin gasped, glanced at Kelsey, Lucille, Theresa, and finally landed on Wayne, who was not Sarkaz and was not familiar with him, and said with a dry smile:

"I said that this famous paradox old man is not a Victorian nobleman. I'm so disrespectful and disrespectful. Which big man came to inspect on behalf of?"

"I represent my sister." Wayne looked at Warfarin with a smile.

Only then did Warfarin breathe a sigh of relief, wiped off her cold sweat, laughed, stepped forward and patted Wayne on the shoulder, as if they were all buddies, and complained:

"Oh, Kelsey just likes to make people guess half of what he says, which scares me. After talking about it for a long time, it represents your sister. I thought it represented the little Queen Victoria."

"Oh, by the way, who is your sister?"

PS: Brothers, Hearts of Iron 4 Soviet Union DLC was officially released yesterday. We have been looking forward to it for a long time. The Soviet loving father happy galgame (shooting) project that has been delayed for many years is recruiting beta test players on a large scale. The production company NKVD said that the game is a combination of them. Made with countless painstaking efforts, players who participated in the test would be so happy that they would die on the spot as long as they experienced it once.Moreover, the secrecy measures are extremely strict, and there will never be any player who participated in the test to reveal the news alive.I don't really believe it, so I decided to stay up late tonight to play, and come back to tell everyone about my thoughts.

Cough cough, someone is knocking on the door, I will open the door and talk to you later——

PS:

Chapter 21 I have plenty of time, I will wait for you

When Wayne walked out of the forest, he happened to bump into Colonel Hamilton and Sir Weinert who were advancing step by step and preparing to search the forest with a carpet-like net. Their faces were shocked, and they greeted each other:

"Where are you guys going?"

Colonel Hamilton was in a highly tense time. He was abruptly called out by Wayne who appeared suddenly, and his film instincts were suddenly triggered. Shouting from left to right, the crowd rushed forward and surrounded Wayne and others.He raised the crossbow in his hand.It wasn't until Sir Weinert on the side reacted the fastest, ran out of the team in shock, and stood in front of Wayne:

"Don't, don't do it! This is His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Weinert waved his hands in a panic, not caring whether the ready-to-go crossbow arrows would shoot him into a sieve, and Hamilton who grabbed the side shouted:

"Quickly ask your men to put down their weapons, this is His Royal Highness Prince of Wales! These two are His Royal Highness Princess and Sir Kelsey, Chief of Staff!"

Kelsey does not have the title of Victoria, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the future of this film woman who has always been close to the royal family is bound to be limitless. A person's political sense and judgment.

Sure enough, upon hearing this series of titles that could scare people to death, even the most impulsive soldiers couldn't help feeling a little hesitant at the moment. They put down their weapons one after another.At this time, Colonel Hamilton reacted belatedly, quickly put away the saber he subconsciously pulled out, and stepped forward respectfully and humbly to plead guilty:

"His Royal Highness, forgive me for offending, what happened just now was really an accident."

Although I don't know why Wayne is here, it is indeed true that the army under his command drew his sword against the royal family. Hamilton will not talk about anything else, so let's apologize first.

Wayne didn't care about this little accident either. Although he was indeed taken aback, Hamilton could be forgiven. His caution did help the isolated city of Xiaoqiu County survive the longest darkness. Waiting for the dawn of reinforcements.Although Wayne also knew that his high-pressure policy against the Tara people in Xiaoqiu County was one of the direct causes of this riot, but before the main conflict of national security, let's wait until later to settle this matter slowly.

Nodding his head was acquiescing to Hamilton's explanation. After uncovering this little accident, he looked at the middle-aged man who had just stood in front of him with some surprise, and asked uncertainly:
