10.The.Rock (eleven)
Several sail-like triangles floated on the water, gradually expanding into rat-gray ovals.
The first impression is of a shark's dorsal fin, but the small hole at the top and the cute bulging silhouette suggest that they are not the same species as the marine killers, and that this underground waterway is not a shark haunt.
"It's finally here, thank you. ”
The girl standing on the improvised dock waved her hand, and the oval that swam close to her flipped over, waving her fin-like forelimbs in response, and then flipped back and lifted her face from the water.
The streamlined and smooth head, the small eyes on the left and right, and the slender mouth make a "gurgling" sound when they are closed one by one.
It's dolphins.
I saw that the spider took out a notebook from the ravine between the unhurried breasts, sat on the ground, and nodded at the dolphin.
"Quack, quack. ”
The dolphin made a wonderful sound, listened to the inexplicable language, the spider drew dots and lines on the paper, and the five dolphins took turns to pass each other, and it only took three minutes to finish the ciphertext.
After confirming that the message was correct, the spider smiled:
"Standard time 1330 acknowledges receipt of the message, we will cooperate with the action, above. ”
The dolphins nodded knowingly, and three of them sank under the water again and swam leisurely out to sea.
Obviously, these dolphins are not wild animals, but domesticated animals, more precisely, the first generation of organic biological weapons that the Alfheim Defense Force Navy is preparing to officially use. In other words, they are military creatures.
Although the navies of various countries also use killer whales as underwater mounts, to protect the security of military ports or to carry out special missions. But that was nothing more than moving the cavalry on land into the water. The performance of marine mammals has not really been discovered.
After a series of studies, elven scholars discovered that cetaceans and dolphins actually have larger brains than humans. Although this does not mean that they are smarter than humans, they are not necessarily more conscious than humans. But there is no need to learn a huge amount of knowledge like humans - that is, there are fewer distractions, so they can imprint some techniques into their brains, making them biological weapons that can carry out commands.
The dolphins in front of them are the soldiers belonging to the "Abyss" of the Navy's real yàn unit, and they are searching for the area where Roland and the spider fell into the sea. They were dispatched after the spiders dug out their old transmitters from the utility room and contacted the camouflaged merchant ships they were searching for nearby. The reason why the "Abyss" was dispatched was precisely because they did not arouse the suspicion of the enemy, and the dolphin with the encrypted communication technique imprinted in the brain was safer than the transmitter.
"How's it going?"
Roland leaned in. There was a faint hint of anxiety under the calm voice.
Since falling into the sea, it has been cut off from the outside world. It is natural to feel anxious at this moment - this is only the surface, and the deeper reason is that Roland's experience tells him that Li Lin will never be good about this.
never negotiate with terrorists;
If someone snatches 100,000 gold coins from your bank. Then you will offer a reward of 500,000 for his want;
We said we were going to kill someone's whole family. Then there will definitely be no rats and cockroaches left in his house;
-- That's what Li Lin said. That's what I did.
Rivals whose families were cremated, railroad robbers who hanged themselves from street lamps in front of the platform, unpaid debtors who were poured into cement and sunk into the sea. The bank thief who was chopped into pieces by his brother and put in a bag in exchange for a bounty of 3,000 Egü - the tragic death of many people proved that trying to touch the interests of Li Lin and V.E Company is not an easy thing, and what a heavy price the offender will pay.
In fact, those interests are not worth mentioning to V.E. at all, even if they are tied to the lives of the people involved, they are not comparable to the high bounties and the expenses of assassination operations. But that's not a problem at all, the bounty and the brutal assassination just mean a bloody and real warning: no one can live in this world after touching V.E's cheese. This warning carries enough weight for criminals and adversaries who are not crazy enough to be cautious.
Hammer went even further than the guys in the past, attacking the company's ultra-luxury cruise ship in full view, and breaching all security measures to kidnap the company's heir, Charlemagne's royal daughter.
This is an out-and-out slap in the face, and it also makes a snapping sound for the whole world to hear.
Li Lin will definitely retaliate against this, and he will definitely use the most cruel way.
So far, the gentlest plan that Roland could come up with for Li Lin was to chop up and feed the Knights to the pigs, or open the skull and let them taste their brains. As for his adoptive father, if he did not deal with it gently...... I can't imagine it, I just know that it's terrifying.
"As the young master expected—"
Handing the transcript to Roland, the spider gave a mocking smile.
"Your Excellency Archon has been. ”
Taking the princess hostage and revealing the misdeeds of the V.E Company to the people is an opportunity for Li Lin to give in—Hammer seems so convinced.
It can only be said that their ideas are too naïve and hopelessly naïve.
Worse, they were in a hurry.
Although V.E was unpleasant to the royal family and some conservatives, the hijacking of Minerva was itself a challenge to the authority of the royal family. The knights, who knew nothing about this, and were too upright and ignorant of lip service, put on an arrogant posture of "this is a matter of course", and untactfully demanded a huge ransom and a reform change from the royal government and the V.E company. Completely ignorant of how to use the "advantageous position" in the negotiation to offset the opponent's advantage, he blindly took a tough stance to negotiate because he did not know what to call it - the result could only be to promote the cooperation between the Royal Government and V.E. Company.
"His Majesty the King personally characterized this as a rebellion, the Knights of the Golden Fleece are a rebel army, and if the War Department continues to quarrel, then let the Navy and Titans go to quell the rebellion. Of course, V.E can also handle it on its own. ”
Hammer's real trump card was to mobilize the Army's large number of sympathizers, a loose group of junior knights and officers who advocated violent change of state affairs, the "royal road". The hijacking incident abroad gave spiritual support to the local "royal road faction", mobilized it, and then promoted the "reform reform" in one go.
With the rise of the Titans and the expansion of the navy, the army was strongly impacted. People who used to have great respect for the Army now look at it with a cold eye. Some of the young army colonels whose faith and dignity had been badly damaged sought to transfer to the navy or titans, while the rest who remained in the army began to discuss the "national transformation movement".
There are many similarities between the thinking mode of these people and Hammer, believing that the root cause of the current situation of the country and the army lies in the chaebols, corrupt officials, admirals, and other "bad people around His Majesty", and that only by launching the reform and carrying out the "purging of the monarch's side" can Charlemagne restore his proper posture.
Hammer's action is undoubtedly a signal full of excitement to this group of angry young people who are full of "respecting the king and begging for adultery", if the Knights of the Golden Fleece cannot be suppressed, God knows if those guys who have beaten chicken blood will go to "heaven" someone.
For the sake of the safety of the national system, but also for the safety of one's own life. Together, everyone, including Prime Minister Richelieu, made a decision to let V.E do it.
"In other words, Charlemagne's handling of the Knights of the Golden Fleece and the rescue of the princess are all thrown to us. ”
Shrugging his shoulders, the spider's smile was sarcastic. (To be continued......)
PS: Guess the small theater
