Chapter 328: Strike
The Aurora is attacked, Allen loses contact, and the entire hunting group is not heard from, and the life and death of the members are decided. Since there was also an Adele among them, the Mowson family also joined the ranks of solidarity after Bethcord's statement. It's just that old Kate and Horn have always been friends, and with her granddaughter being implicated, it makes sense that she will support Bethcord.
Unexpectedly, almost as soon as the voice of the Mowson family was announced, the William family, one of the three giants, also made its own voice.
The representative of the William family righteously pointed out that the mastermind behind the scenes had acted despicably in such a way as Alan's talent at the last press conference. Once this young man with unlimited potential was buried in this despicable attack, it would be a loss not only for Bethcord, but for the entire Federation.
In the lengthy statement that followed, the William family made it clear that they would do their part to assist Bethcord in investigating the attack. After successive statements from several families, the federal side finally responded.
A notice was issued by the Office of the Presidential Secretary, stating that the Federation would send a search and rescue team to find the Dawn, and that an independent commission of inquiry would be set up to deal with the matter. The Federation's approach to this is due to the fact that in addition to the members of several big families involved, more importantly, there is also a royal daughter of Adahuaxing on the Dawn!
Although the emperor had many children under his knees, if he knew that one of the princesses had buried the interests of Babylon for no reason, he would definitely not give up. Whether it is due to the consideration of allies or the strength of Idahua Xing's far superiority over the Earth Federation, President Mobile has to make a gesture of full investigation into this matter.
This is undoubtedly an aggravation of the situation for His Excellency the President, who is facing a full-scale war on floating islands and on the ground due to the recent breakdown of negotiations with Freedom Gate.
Allen's disappearance is in response to the words of several families rejoicing and a few worried. Naturally, Horn and other friends and relatives were worried. Rejoicing are some people who wish Alan would become cosmic dust. Diego is one of them.
After hearing the news, Diego even held a private mini-banquet to celebrate the disappearance of this thorn in the side of Alan. In the aftermath of the launch, Allen's talent for sequences had already made Diego feel threatened. He has gradually distanced Alan in terms of personal force, and if even the realm of the Rubik's Cube sequence is trampled under Alan's feet, Diego's poor self-esteem will not be able to withstand such a blow at all.
So the disappearance of Eren is a great thing for him. This made him laugh out loud as he stood in his father's office.
"You seem to be in a good mood?" Donier glanced at his son, looked back at the report on the screen, and said with a smile: "This old man Horn is still so angry, it seems that he must know that Main once beat his precious grandson, and now he may have directly entered the manor of the Alexander family." ”
Diego said, "Father, are we going to tell Beth cord about this?" I guess something interesting is going to happen. ”
As if he was afraid that the world would be invincible, Donnier shook his head: "Don't do anything superfluous, Diego." You're very talented at sequences, but in other ways, you're too caught up in the minutiae. Those who achieve great things should take a long-term view, identify their goals and make great strides, and don't waste time and energy on those dispensable scenery along the way. Otherwise, you won't be able to achieve anything. ”
Diego bowed his head and said, "I know, father." ”
Donier reached out and swiped the screen, and a video appeared in the window. In the picture, an elite team is attacking a ground base, and in a few minutes, this ground base is crippled and spanned. Donier smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it will be no good to provoke Beskode." ”
This is a battle that took place two hours ago, and that base is hosted by multiple local forces, but the real boss is Alexander. The team that attacked the base just now was Bethkode's Black Hawk Commando, which was included in Bethkode's strike list because this base involved the manufacture of components for illegal flying ships. But what really led to the attack, Donnier bets that Horn must know who the real owner of this base is. Otherwise, there would not have been such a complete blow, and because of the illegality of the base, Main would probably have had to swallow this dumb in his stomach.
There have been a number of such blows in the last two months. Among them, the bases or industries that were hit, in addition to Alexander, there were other families. Without exception, these families and Bethcord were in a hostile relationship. Horn made it clear that no matter who was plotting against Allen, he would simply use a big net to scatter fish, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go.
It's just that the targets he chose were extremely particular, and these bases were all engaged in illegal research or illegal manufacturing of restricted materials. Even if the families who were attacked knew that Beth Kod was deliberately stabbing them, they could only endure it. After all, if it is pierced, then they will lose the most.
In fact, if you consider it from the perspective of the beneficiaries, the Grant family is the most suspicious. But Horn didn't touch Grant's property, which made the Grant family stand out so much in this Bethcord crackdown, and people couldn't help but wonder if these two apparently discordant families had reached some kind of agreement inside. Of course, not to mention the agreement, Donnier didn't see Horn at all.
However, the impact was real, and in the last week, Grant's Mowu factory orders have dropped significantly. There are even some families who cooperate with it who have transferred the capital chain one after another under various pretexts, obviously beginning to doubt the position of the Grant family.
In this regard, Dornier just ignored it and did not do anything to stop it. Because that would only increase the speculation of others, but I had to admire Horn, just acting like it, but quickly disintegrating the alliance of the Grant family.
This old fox, Donnier couldn't help but say to himself.
In Horn's study, the same video that Dornier saw was playing on the projection wall, but from a different angle. After watching the video, Horn said lightly: "What have the actions of the Alexander family recently?" ”
"Nope." Anna put her hands behind her back and said, "Main is calm and restrained. There were times when we were clearly provocative, but he didn't respond. ”
"This is not like his style, and the more Sine is forbearing, the more it has to do with him. Even if he didn't plan it, he still participated! Horn snorted, "This arrogant guy thinks that he can challenge me Beth Kod with that little pound." I just didn't bother to respond, I didn't think that he would even hurt Alan today. ”
"If anything happens to Alan, I want Alexander to be completely removed from Babylon!"
The air in the study was so congrozen, that even Anna had trouble breathing. After a while, Horn's breath slowly subsided, and Anna was able to speak: "It's a pity that we don't have substantial evidence at present, on the side of the Rainbow Bridge, after Young Master Allen was attacked, it was rumored that several operators committed suicide. And the other party reacted very quickly, and when we checked their families, we found that their families had disappeared from the world. ”
This only shows that they were premeditated. However, assuming Main is the mastermind, I'm curious to see how he bought off the Rainbow Bridge Workstation. Those were members of the Commonwealth and had worked in space for many years, and Maine had very little access to them. I don't think Main was in direct contact with these people. Horn said in a deep voice.
Anna frowned: "You mean, there are middlemen here, and people from the Federation?" ”
Only in this way can we explain how the mastermind behind the scenes got on the workstation. Or, in other words, the mastermind is not Main, but directly from the federal side. Horn tapped his finger on the table and said, "Looks like I'm going to have to meet up with Alstair." ”
"Did you find any clues about the transfer of warships?" Horn asked again.
Because the airship that attacked Allen at that time contained an outer space war weapon such as a battleship. Beskod has investigated several black ship manufacturing giants on the ground, and although their factories also produce weapons such as battleships, according to their recent orders and the whereabouts of these warships, none of them meet the conditions for attacking the Aurora.
In the end, Horn was suspicious of the military warship, and if that man could call the warship, the position would certainly not be low. In this way, Horn can only be cautious. He informed Windsor Bello, who was far away in the interstellar defense, and investigated it from within through the relationship of Marshal Guò Greedy Wolf.
Anna said: "Marshal Greedy Wolf has not sent any news back yet. ”
"That's normal, and to be able to do that, that person certainly won't leave too many clues. Even if it's Windsor Bello, it's not easy to find out. Horn said, "Continue with our previous arrangement, and then ask Butler Helsing to contact Alstai and ask him to arrange a time to meet with me." ”
"Understood, sir." Anna nodded and exited.
When Horn was left alone in the study, he leaned his upright body back on the chair. Horn's gaze softened, and he habitually reached for his pocket, but the pocket watch that had been with him for a long time had already been given to Alan. Horn, who had aged down in an instant, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, muttering, "I'm sorry, Lannie." I put Alan in such danger, but I'm sure that Ellen's kid will be fine. He's been through so many crises, and this time will certainly be no exception. ”
"I'm sure he'll be back!"
At this time, Butler Helsing walked in: "Master, I have contacted Lord Alstair. He wants to invite you to lunch. ”
Horn nodded and stood up, opened his eyes, and instantly exhausted, and regained his tough posture.
"Prepare the car for me." Horn said lightly. R1058
