The air froze again, no one spoke, there was dead silence in the conference room, and the defense minister's gaze on the screen fell on the thin piece of paper on the table, he couldn't see the contents, but he knew what was inside.

The order issued by the Ministry of Defense, which was personally issued by him.

For a long time, the Minister of Defense had the angry look of a politician on his face.

"Dr. Finch, I thought we could trust each other." He said.

"Trust?" Finch said, "And the Global Special Affairs Management Committee? And your United States, Britain, Russia, Germany, and France? ”

At this, he suddenly laughed mockingly.

After that, he continued: "But this time, you sent special forces on your own without telling us, should you give us an explanation?" ”

The Minister of Defense's face was cloudy, and it took a long time to squeeze out a strong phrase from between his teeth: "I don't think there is any need for explanation, in the war between you and the Restoration Society, we have given enough support, without our support, you have no place in this world." ”

"Oh!" Finch stood up from his chair, his hands propped up on the table, leaning forward slightly, like a lion ready to attack: "Really? It has been 2,000 years since the Presbyterian Council was founded, the civilization of the Moria people has existed on this earth for 100,000 years, and we have already dominated the entire world when you humans are still drilling wood for fire, even after the Doomsday War, without our backing, do you think it will be the turn of humans to call the shots? From the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty of the Chinese civilization to the Persian War, from the Battle of Machu Picchu of the Mayans to the Crusades, as well as the founding of your country in the Civil War, the First and Second World Wars, who played a key role behind it? In the long river of time, you are just gravel, we are the river, I hope you have enough self-knowledge! ”

A tougher reply came out of Finch's mouth, but the old monsters of the Presbyterian Church didn't seem to hear the face-to-face conversation at all, some were pretending to sleep, some were gulping down, and the old Habs, the strange president, even scribbled on his notebook with a pen, like a distracted student in class.

After almost a minute of silence, the Minister of Defense finally relented.

"Well, I admit it, I sent a special detachment to Afghanistan." Speaking of this, the voice suddenly increased decibels: "But it's just a surveillance team, there is no aggression, they are only responsible for going to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan to monitor your actions in Bamiyan, we have no malicious intentions." You must know that after all, there are so many countries in the world now, and the human regime has covered the whole world, we must pay attention to the impact, now is not the era of cold weapons, let alone the era of slash-and-burn, if your actions are out of line, some secrets hidden in the shadows will be exposed to the sun, so that the situation is out of control. ”

"That's your reason?" Finch said, "Or is it an explanation? ”

"Even so. I hope you can look at the problem from our point of view, the Special Affairs Management Committee is not the United States alone, there are several other countries, and no one wants to see the situation that I am talking about. "The Minister of Defense spoke frankly and did not seem to be lying.

Finch stared at the career politician for a moment, then suddenly retracted and sat back in his chair.

"So...... Why did your group become Colonel House's detachment, and how did they get your signed papers? ”

"The group was flying from our Luftwaffe base to Pakistan, but something was wrong......"

"What's the situation?"

"This ......" The Minister of Defense wrung his hands, with a somewhat overwhelmed expression on his face, and said after a while: "After the plane they were on landed, the people had changed, and our group ...... All the people died, including the pilot on board. ”

"What?" Finch didn't understand it all at once, and the old monsters around him were a little foggy.

Old Habs seemed to think of something and said: "You mean that they were killed in the air on their way from the Luftwaffe base to Pakistan?" ”

"That's right......," the Minister of Defense rubbed his hands again, "that's the way it is, it's a bit bizarre, but it's true." The bodies were all hidden in the cargo hold of the plane and thrown into the supply boxes, and we would not have discovered the problem if it weren't for the fake team at Bagram Air Base who later left and disappeared into the airspace of Afghanistan with one of our C-17s. ”

"Well, Mr. Minister, I think I believe you." Finch said: "I hope there is no next time for this kind of thing, now order your troops in Afghanistan to unconditionally obey the team sent there by our Council of Elders, the Sect Master of Gam is estimated to have been resurrected, and our inspection teams scattered all over the world have also sent a message, there are signs of the resurrection of the Sect Master in different places, things have become a little out of control, that pair of mysterious teams so far do not know what organization they belong to, they have caused the seal between the nine Hems to collapse, the situation is already very serious." ”

"Heim's seals are all broken?" The minister gasped, "You mean, all the passages are open?" ”

"Theoretically, this is the case, but there should be some time buffer for the complete collapse of the seal, but it only accelerates the resurrection of the seven suzerains of Atlantis, when the seven suzerains are resurrected, it will be the turn of the legendary king, I hope we have time to prevent this from happening, otherwise whether it is the human world, even all the ancient races in our never-to-be-disclosed Heim world will suffer."

"I think it's better for the National Security Adviser to report on this matter and immediately contact several other countries to convene an emergency meeting of the Special Affairs Management Committee to discuss countermeasures." The Minister of Defense didn't expect things to be so serious, and he only now understood why these old monsters, who had been hidden, were in this conference room at the same time.

When the Secretary of Defense disappeared from the screen, Elder Phillips asked, "Dr. Finch, do you think this Mr. Minister's words are credible?" ”

"I think it's credible, of course, I'm not saying this without evidence, before inviting him to video call, I asked Lena to collect very detailed information, indeed as he said, the Ministry of Defense issued a document for a small team to fly from a US military base in Germany to Pakistan, and when the body on the plane was found, the military's communication records were also monitored by us for conversation, so he did not lie, these Yankees let people be trapped." Finch said.

"Oh! I see, Dr. Finch, I haven't been involved in the Presbyterian Council in years, but I want to know, how did you monitor the U.S. military's communications network? Some of Phillips's ideas are still stuck in the World War II era, "You deciphered their radio code?" ”

Finch shook his head and smiled, and said, "Now that we use military networks and satellite communications, our Tianmu Company has a powerful artificial AI and computer network to monitor the world's communications, even the military's network, it can't escape our ears." ”

"Finch, the existence of Sky Eye and Troy, Americans don't know, right?" Old Habs asked.

"Of course I don't know, but I wonder if they are aware of it, after all, if you look at this operation, they obviously have an estimate of us and don't trust us."
