Chapter 684 Falling apart (5)
“From the east coast to the west coast—the entire Berry Country, our communications have been cut off?!”
“What will happen to these giant flying monsters in the sky? Where did they come from? I want to know which department allows them to lurk in the country."
"And President Ellis and the Congress, what are they doing?"
The National Defense Center is in chaos. In the group, everyone’s face is busy and anxious, and their hearts are confused——
Space carrier?
Never heard of it at all!
As the head of the Air Force Procurement Department, Rhodes was even more confused: "If there is such a thing, we should be the first to equip it! They must be enemies!
We should take countermeasures now.”
“But we have two presidents now”
"What's wrong with the two presidents?"
Rhode looked puzzled: Two presidents can just watch UFOs attacking the country? !
The Minister of Defense did not speak. The noncommissioned officer in charge of restoring communication equipment rushed to the door: "Communication is restored!"
呲——
The big screen in the center of the command center lit up. Get up, and it's President Ellis who appears on the screen.
Rhodes didn't know what was going on, and felt bad: This president suddenly announced a change in term limits during the swearing-in ceremony for the new president
The space carrier also happened to attack President Barnes!
[President Ellis: The country is now in a state of war. According to the law, I will directly command the military department. 】
[President Ellis: Our insidious traitor has finally been exposed: Atlas Group has taken an extremely risky and cruel step. They have corrupted Barnes, and I know exactly this. The news persuaded the parliament to extend my term. 】
[President Ellis: The Atlas Group promised money and power to our political groups and corrupted a large number of officials, which will endanger our democracy and freedom. 】
[President Ellis: These space carriers come from the United Nations Security Council. We will work with the Strategic Homeland Defense and Logistics Agency, which is affiliated with the Security Council, to remove traitors and corrupt elements among us. 】
The people in the command room looked at each other in silence
What is this?
Rhode was not frightened: "Mr. President, the coverage of this strike is too wide! Many civilians may be affected. Even if this is a cooperative operation, we should take the lead. , instead of."
[President Ellis: You are right, Colonel Rhodes, but there are so many enemies among us that it is impossible to tell them apart. 】
[President Ellis: I am now urgently promoting General Ross to the position of Secretary of Defense to assist me in implementing emergency anti-corruption. 】
As soon as he finished speaking, General Ross came in with a group of mysterious soldiers from outside:
These soldiers are well-equipped and have all the necessary combat equipment and clothes. There seems to be something similar to the Atlas exoskeleton below to support them
【E President Leith: He has led our troops to fight head-on with the enemy, been captured by the enemy, and suffered inhumane imprisonment but maintained the dignity that a soldier of the country should have. I believe that he is our best choice. From now on, he will He will be my deputy.]
Rhodes doesn’t want to hear what’s coming next.
And most people have the same idea as Rhodes: General Ross? Inhumane imprisonment? Do you really think that the people here are civilians and can be fooled casually?
Atlas did not subject Rose to the so-called abuse at all, and the imprisonment was even more nonsense -
Africans generally do not even have an airtight house, where Rose was imprisoned It's a diplomatic reception level reception hall!
To be honest, many people thought it was a good thing to have Ross in custody at the time: this war-minded Air Force general had done something with extremely bad international impact, and having him imprisoned would be detrimental to maintaining the delicate peace. Help, Berry Country also has more cards to play.
Now it seems that the reason for doing this is obvious.
This is the promotion that Ross dreams of, the power he dreams of -
He maintained the cold face that a soldier should have: "What are you still standing doing? Start working and continue to repair our equipment. We need to move the fighter planes and Incorporation of space carrier Friendly force logo."
呲.
The screen flashed, and the signal soldier sitting in front of the console suddenly shouted: "There is a new signal! From. From the presidential encrypted channel!"< br>
President’s encrypted channel?
Ellis has something else to say?
Ross didn't pay attention, and the others just stood silently, and suddenly another president popped up on the screen: Barnes appeared on the screen in disgrace, with the lights behind him flickering. As for the background.
< br>Everyone present instantly realized that the president was in an air defense facility.
Now it was Rose's turn to be shocked: Barnes is not dead!
Not even dead? !
The president who was supposed to take office was visibly disgraced, and he was not wearing a formal suit. Bandages were wrapped around his body, and various bottles were at his hands——
His eyes, his dress, his position and his temperament.
More like a real general, a warrior than a president.
[President Barnes: Our enemies are attacking our territory! Fight back against those air carriers and unauthorized fighters! 】
[President Barnes: Ellis kidnapped Congress! He is trampling on our country! 】
The atmosphere in the war room changed instantly, but whether it was Ross, Rhodes, or the Secretary of Defense——
Even if they were gradual, they could not be decisive in an instant. Take out a gun and shoot.
But those black-clad soldiers brought by General Ross are different!
The well-trained soldiers took action without any hesitation. While Rhodes was still in shock, they had already raised their guns and pointed them at everyone in the command room!
At this moment, a woman in a Berry Army costume in the corner moved very fast, and the rifle in her hand moved even faster than these mysterious soldiers!
The trigger was pulled, bullets flew, and the woman's burst shot was very accurate, but there were too many killers around Rose, and they were also well-trained——
Others who reacted faster would know Find cover and dodge resignedly, but the older ones and those with slower reactions can only watch themselves being shot!
Bang bang bang bang!
“Cover Commander-in-Chief Ross!”
"There is a traitor!"
The gunshots stopped, the screen was shattered, and the bullet holes were stained red with blood. The people who were lucky enough to survive were in shock——
The comrades who were still struggling just now have collapsed. In a pool of blood
Rhode gritted his teeth, grabbed the pistol and leaned out of the bunker!
However, he only saw a female soldier approaching him:
"Are there any backup sources? You heard what the president said - I mean President Barnes."
"Of course we have more equipment in storage, of course, but"< br>
"No buts." The female soldier motioned for him to look at the corner
General Ross has disappeared. Many generals and non-commissioned officers were shot and groaning on the ground. The most important thing is
The Minister of Defense had fallen into a pool of blood, motionless.
"Sergeant, bring someone you can trust. Now you have to take the lead."
Rhode felt like he was dreaming: There are two presidents in Berry Country, and they are still being attacked. Now his boss The boss is either dead or seriously injured.
“Wait a minute!” Rhodes shook off the female soldier’s hand, “Who are you? What are you doing? Do you know who we should listen to?"
"Natasha, sir, I am the same as you, I only know that we are being attacked, our people, our homeland
Isn't that what the military should do? Do this? Even if there is no president, we should do everything we can to save the remaining people."
After saying that, Natasha walked out quickly.
"Grass" Rhodes suddenly swore and kicked away the Hydra corpse on the ground, "You are right. Continue to monitor!
Once the communication is restored, we will move towards accepting it. Signal's base has issued an attack order, at least to drive them out of the city
I hope it's not too late to organize a counterattack, those big guys are not joking."
Rhode just followed Na. Tasha's steps came outside, and she saw the latter staying in place, looking at the sky——
"What are you looking at?"
Before he finished speaking, Rhodes looked at the sky in Natasha's direction:
The Space Carrier is crashing!
It’s time for them to fight back!
