Chapter 457 Awarding
[Countdown to unstable energy burst: 14 hours]
[Points for cross-world communication deducted: 500]
[Current technology points : 14500】
Lille’s main consciousness had been transferred to the cyberpunk world a few hours ago, but there were too many things going on here.
And he didn't want the little octopus to do something for him.
At the port of Zhuyacheng, a shabby cruiser slowly sailed into the port berth. There are a total of 12,000 residents in this city, and more than 100,000 online residents are watching the ship enter the port.
At the port, representatives from several African Union countries were looking forward to it.
"Haha, we are back!"
Abdi limped out of the captain's cabin, his left hand hanging around his neck, obviously injured.
Escape was not that simple. The last cruiser was also bombarded, and there was a malfunction on the way. They even thought they could not come back.
But they did it.
Breathing the pure sea breeze of Zhuyacheng Port, the crew rushed onto the deck and came to the edge of the ship -
There, they saw countless people looking at them, looking forward to it.
Abdi was stunned for a moment: this was a scene he had imagined.
One day he no longer has to rob like a pirate, one day there is a port and there are many people waiting for his return.
“Uh, boss, what are they doing?”
A strong black man who was a head taller than him elbowed him.
“I don’t know”
His brain was a little unresponsive. After getting off the ship, Wakanda King T’Chaka led a group of people in a row on the port walkway. The younger brother walked up to these middle-aged and elderly people who looked older.
"Today, we gather here to honor our heroes who fearlessly moved forward in the face of overwhelming power, heroically defending our sovereignty and security and preventing more people from being massacred."
With applause in his ears, King T'Chaka solemnly said: "Abdi, you have defended the sovereignty and security of the African Union and prevented more people from being massacred.
As Wa King Kanda, on behalf of the entire African Union, 56 countries, I would like to pay you and your soldiers, our heroes, the highest respect.
You deserve this medal, but one. This medal is far from comparable to what you have done."
The guard beside him came up holding a beautiful box. T'Chaka opened the medal and put it on display in the sun.
The main body of this medal is a blue five-pointed star, handmade from pure sapphires and set on a solid gold base.
On the back, there is an inscription engraved on it: "Be fearless and fearless".
“Please accept this medal as the African Union’s highest honor and recognition of your heroic deeds.”
The ribbon is hung up and the heavy medal is buckled on the clothes. No one feels that This tattered military uniform is not worthy of this priceless medal, but instead makes it even more precious.
The applause continued.
Abdi's emotions for the rest of his life finally diluted with this scene. He looked at the people in the audience and suddenly shed tears.
From pirates to alliance heroes, from the underground to the clouds.
They are no longer pirates that everyone shouts about, despised by everyone, and cursed by everyone. From now on, there are many people waiting for them to come back alive.
Abdi wiped his tears, turned to face the people and saluted an imaginary military salute, and his companions also saluted in confusion.
After doing all this, Abdi walked towards the medical team, who were transporting the wounded on the ship.
Among them, Lille's robot was also here. When he saw Abdi walking over, he said: "How do you feel?"
"This is what I am pursuing." Abdi thought of the expectant eyes of those people , and suddenly faced off against his brothers from that small camp.
His father died young and his mother has never seen him - to be precise, his father is just his adoptive father, and the camp is his home.
Don’t feel too good when someone is waiting for you to go home.
But he cried because he convinced many brothers to listen to his command, and he believed that one day he could become the largest pirate in Somalia, and maybe even become a city with more families.
But many brothers couldn't see it -
One destroyer was sunk on the spot, and another caught fire after escaping. Only a few people had the chance to survive on a speedboat.
Thinking that many people who believed in him died like this, dying on the eve of seeing all this, he felt filled with guilt.
Lille patted him on the shoulder: "Take a rest and look at this city. As long as we can control the fighting on the front line, the trade routes will not be completely cut off.
To the world, you have just accomplished an incredible feat.”
Abdi wiped his tears again: "The whole world? I thought the whole world would think we are still pirates." "The Pentagon can continue to say that you are terrorists, but the world will know the truth. As for what they will think after seeing the truth. , that’s hard to say.
< br>
I can tell you clearly that many people regard you as more of a hero than a hero.”
“More than a hero?”
“Yes.” Lear nodded, "They call you, superhero."
In New York, the square was filled with demonstrators.
The gates of many state governments were crowded with people, and even the gates of the White House were not spared.
“We can see that protesters occupied the streets in front of the White House with white banners reading ‘Liberate Somalia’.”
“Let us interview the marchers.”
< br>"Fake USA! You have seen how they 'fight terrorists'. They directly used bombs to blow up the city first!
This is not counter-terrorism at all, this is massacre! The Pentagon first sends military units across the border and then attacks. This is an act of war!
President Ellis should be tried for war crimes! Hey them! "
The camera suddenly shook. The interviewee raised his head and the camera turned around. A riot policeman wearing protective clothing smashed the camera!
The broadcast was interrupted.< br>
[Little Octopus: Brother, this Berry Country Police looks a bit like the NCPD]
They are all from the Berry Country. Can they not have some inheritance in them?
Of course Lille is not discriminating against people from Berry country, it’s just that the local customs are like this, there’s nothing to say.
Many people have been arrested across the country in the past few hours, which is a very bad sign:
This shows that Roxon still has quite strong control over the ruling party, and it can even be said that Getting stronger.
Perhaps the second round of road advancement will come soon.
There are still a few days before the general election, but Lille can't wait to move forward the time.
Right now, the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aden are completely controlled by Roxon. Goods shipped to Juya can only go around the west coast of Africa or be transported by land, both of which are very costly.
I can only say that the good news is that even if this is the case, there are still companies and countries in Europe that are willing to cooperate with the Atlas Group——
I have to say that sinking the aircraft carrier is indeed a decisive step. gained confidence.
Of course, big companies dare not make bets at this time. After all, a full-scale war is imminent, and sinking the aircraft carrier may just be good luck. In the long run, not many people still think that the African Union can survive Come down.
Even AI thinks so.
[Little Octopus: But brother, is this really useful? 】
Relying on its strong industrial capabilities, it monopolizes 90% of the world's oil resources, continuously manufactures steel soldiers, and distributes them through the world's most powerful army.
Even if the African Union has a high fighting spirit, how can people defeat steel under the ebb and flow of one another?
Liel shook his head: "Industrial capabilities need to be supported by a stable social environment."
[Little Octopus: But what if they all use AI for industrial processes? 】
“Good question.” Lear shrugged, “Then we will have to do it ourselves. Maybe dealing with AI will be more direct than dealing with humans.”
Sometimes, dealing with Completely heterogeneous malice can let go.
Dong-dong.
There was a knock on the door, and Lille's mother walked in with a warm snack box.
"What happened today was terrible." Maya put the lunch boxes filled with hot dishes on the table. "Are you exhausted?"
Liel picked up the chopsticks and looked at the time: There's still half an hour left.
“A little bit, but it’s all worth it.”
Lil said while eating, Maya was watching with satisfaction. When she heard what he said, her expression suddenly changed Gotta be a little worried.
She really hopes that Lille can be less stressed, but she is not a fool. She has also experienced war and famine.
Being responsible for so many lives is impossible without stress.
As a mother, she was proud of Lille's sense of responsibility, but she was also worried that things would gradually become uncontrollable and the pressure would be unbearable for her children.
Liel also knew that his mother was worried, but he just ate in silence, wondering if there was anything he could talk about at home.
Maya suddenly reached out and stroked Lear's back: "Eat slowly, don't choke. You are mother's pride."
Lear paused and nodded, No more thinking about those things.
Sometimes big visions come from small blessings.
That's one of the reasons why he does all this.
