Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1218 The Darkest Hour (9)

The rain and snow in the capital are still falling.

But near the equator in the Pacific Ocean, it is scorching hot.

The raindrops hit the window of the armored car, Cheng Mo stared at the tower standing in the distance in the rain and snow through the raindrops sliding across the glass, and remembered that there was a jade tablet in front of the tower, on which was engraved : "Born out of the sky, Mang Kunlun, reading the spring of the world. Flying 300 million jade dragons, stirring up the cold sky. The summer melts, the rivers overflow, people may be fish and turtles. Who has commented on the merits and crimes of thousands of years? Now I say Kunlun: Don't be so tall, don't want to be so snowy. Ande Yitian draws a sword and cuts you into three pieces? One piece is left to Europe, one piece is given to the United States, and one piece is returned to the Eastern Kingdom. In the world of peace, the whole world is the same cool and hot."

He felt that maybe the world could never reach the state in the poem.

He looked in the direction of the Political Affairs Hall again. The square in front of the majestic red attic was full of cars, and the white jade fence stone steps leading to the porch carved with dragon columns were frowning all the time. People with the Taichi Dragon badge are coming and going.People with serious faces and eager steps made the weather even colder and gloomy.

Cheng Mo doesn't need to judge the seriousness of the situation from these details. Right now, he only cares about how the war in the Pacific is going.Just now he used the "Black Death" mobile phone to go online and offline, but apart from the unanimous condemnation of "Tai Chi Dragon" by various countries, and the verbal criticism of Tai Chi Dragon on major social media, there is not much substantive content.

The only thing worthy of attention is that Stargate has blocked the entire equatorial waters of the Pacific Ocean and the waters of the Western Pacific Ocean under the pretext of rescue and nuclear disaster, and strictly prohibits any ships and planes from entering or leaving.

In Cheng Mo's view, this is good news, at least it proves that Taijilong's fleet has not been completely wiped out.

After waiting for more than an hour in the bleak silence, Cheng Mo saw a large group of men in black suddenly pouring out from the gate of the Political Affairs Hall. Xie Jili, who was heavily protected, came out. He pushed aside the umbrella held by the bodyguard and walked down. On the white jade stone steps, at this time, a man and a woman, two white-haired elderly people, got off from the Rolls-Royce that was three or four cars away from Cheng Mo. The chest is covered with medals.The woman with thin silver hair supported him, stood in front of Xie Jili and knelt down straight.

A group of people hurriedly gathered around, persuading and supporting, at first Cheng Mo thought it was just an ordinary blocking incident, suddenly the old man yelled "Thank you for your death", and knocked his head on the white jade fence. It's a mess.

But the confusion didn't last long, the very old man was carried away, and Xie Jili was escorted into the car under cover.After a while, Xu Changen came over with an umbrella and knocked on Cheng Mo's car window, signaling him and Athena to get out of the car and follow.

Xu Changen with a dignified expression handed the umbrella to Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo took the umbrella and held it for Athena to pass through the rain curtain. medal.

Xu Changen also saw the medal, walked over to pick it up, held it in his hand and led Cheng Mo to the red flag motorcade parked at the exit of the square.He opened the door of the extended armored car in the middle, and turned around to pick up the umbrella in Cheng Mo's hand.After Cheng Mo and Athena sat up, Xu Changen put away the umbrella and inserted it into the car door, and then got into the car.

Sitting opposite Xie Jili, Cheng Mo saw that he was closing his eyes, with a sad and painful expression on his face.He didn't open his mouth to speak, and the convoy drove out of the Sea of ​​​​Day and Night very quickly. The normally busy streets were almost empty, and vehicles and soldiers under martial law could be seen in the blink of an eye.

When the convoy drove into Changan Street, Xie Jili opened his eyes and said softly: "I really miss the days when I lived in the compound. At that time, the material conditions were far from being as rich as they are now. The adults went to work during the winter vacation. A group of children went to cook something on the iron stove of anyone who had food. At that time, you could go ice skating with a folding chair, and you could buy an old popsicle for a dime after swimming in summer. At that time, I went to the countryside with Ruonu, and I didn’t feel too much hardship in the southern Xinjiang countryside. Except for causing trouble, I would sit around the bonfire every night while roasting and eating. He is older than me, and he takes good care of me. I remember that once the sheep in the production team ran away, which was caused by my inattention while reading. At that time, a few sheep were a big deal. Ruonu, Guangling and Dongjiang We searched together on the grassland with a flashlight. The four of us rode horses with guns on our backs and searched through the howling wolves all night. Only then did we find a few lost sheep in a grass nest. Afterwards, we returned to Beijing. We had nothing to do, and we were ordered not to go out and mess around in the streets, so we could only read books every day. Ruo Nuo and I both like reading, philosophy, physics, and all kinds of books. It can be said that we are addicted to books. Guangling and Dongjiang I just like reading novels. We have nothing else to do together, just borrow and return books to read, and I especially like to find books that I can’t find in the library. I remember once I found a book from Xiaojin’s grandfather The strange book "New Class", after Ruonu finished reading it, he copied the whole book in order to read it several times, and I ran over every day to urge him to return the book, forcing him to hide from me for several days." He paused After a while, he sighed with emotion in a low voice, "The world is really unpredictable. Now I am the only one who is still alive."

At this time, Xu Changen's cell phone vibrated. Xu Changen glanced at the cell phone, answered the call, and then handed the cell phone to Xie Jili. Xie Jili listened to the other party's report with a serious expression, hung up the phone and said, "In less than six hours The No. [-] Fleet was completely wiped out?" He frowned and said, "Liu Jian and Gu Zhixue are not fledgling rookies anymore, logically speaking, our equipment is still superior, how did this battle end like this?"

Xu Changen replied in a low voice: "The command center speculates that there may be a problem with our electronic equipment. Otherwise, the destruction rate of the ships, aircraft, and chosen ones of both sides cannot be so low. Even if the star gate discovers our fleet in advance, Our side hastily responded, but it shouldn’t be more than 1:1.4.” He smiled wryly and said, “The main thing is that I didn’t expect Chen Shaohua to have a problem, and the others had no chance to bring things onto the ship. Only he can use mechanical amputation. Bring the virus aboard."

Xie Jili was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to pursue the fault, we have to mend the situation, we can't let the No. [-] Fleet be wiped out, we must find a way to restore the communication with the No. [-] Ship and bring it back. "

Cheng Mo interjected and asked, "What's the situation of the No. [-] Fleet now?"

Xu Changen replied: "The specifics are not clear. The star gate has completely blocked the signal from the western Pacific Ocean. The command center can only estimate based on intelligence. The battle damage of the third ship is not high."

A map of the Pacific Ocean appeared in Cheng Mo's mind, and he remembered that Jiang Jun said that he would go on an expedition today, so he said in a speculative tone: "So now our strategy of Tai Chi Dragon is to penetrate the second island chain defense line of the star gate to help No. [-] Fleet out of trouble?"

Xu Changen hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Xie Jili did not stop him, he nodded and said, "This is roughly the case. However, the current Stargate is heavily deployed on the second island chain. If we want to help the third fleet break through, we will definitely have to pay a heavy price, okay? It’s easy to save a family fortune of more than [-] years! Now it’s all going to be lost.” He looked at Xie Jili, and cursed bitterly, “If only the Presbyterian Court had listened to your advice, the Chen family is really doomed. Letting go of the blame, it is really shameless to come here today to perform the drama of coercing the palace."

Xie Jili sighed, and said in a low voice: "No matter how angry you are, you still have to deal with this matter rationally, and you still have to give the Chen family a way to survive. After all, Chen Kang is still a master now." He waved his hand, "Don't talk about this It's gone." Then he looked at Cheng Mo again, "Xiao Mo, you said you came to me with something very important, what is it?"

Cheng Mo took a deep breath and said seriously, "It's for the retreat route of the No. [-] Fleet."

Both Xie Jili and Xu Changen were taken aback for a moment, Xie Jili asked, "What's the matter?"

"I think Tai Chi Dragon can consider bypassing the defense line established by the star gates of Guandao and Iwo Jima, and retreat towards the Bering Sea."

Xu Changen shook his head and said: "It's not that the command center has not considered it, but it is too far away for the No. [-] Fleet and our upcoming fleet. Maybe before our support arrives, the No. [-] Fleet is too far away. The No. [-] fleet will be dragged to death by the star gate. The most important thing is to break out from the front line of Guandao and Iwo Jima. Our support can also be much faster, which can offset part of the advantage of the star gate. If we go from the Bering Sea, the breakout resistance is not enough. It will be smaller than Guandao and Iwo Jima, and our support will be much worse.”

Cheng Mo said in a low voice: "What if I have thirty or forty nuclear submarines carrying powerful Chosen Ones that can come from the Bering Strait? What if the Sunflower Banner has to send troops to support us?"

Xu Changen asked in astonishment: "Are you sure?"

"I dare not say 90.00%, but I have [-]% certainty"

Xu Changen looked at Xie Jili.

Xie Jili stared at Cheng Mo, "What help do you need?"

Cheng Mo said with a serious expression: "Trust and information."

-----------------------

Xie Jili took a special plane to the south, which is the base of the Chen family and the most important coastal developed bay area at present.For Xie Jili, the battle in the Pacific Ocean is not the most important thing. What is important is that there is no unified thinking within Tai Chi Dragon.

After the loss of the No. [-] Fleet, even though the Chen family has been hung on the pillar of shame, many people still feel that they should sit down and negotiate with Stargate.The destruction of the No. [-] Fleet in six hours made many people feel fear. Perhaps this fear is rooted in their hearts, rather than a product that popped up suddenly, so it is particularly deep-rooted.

What's more, for them, war is not a good option.With so many interests in the Stargate, war breaks out, no matter whether they win or lose, it will be a loss to them.

After seeing off Xie Jili, Cheng Mo did not leave the capital immediately, but called Shen Youyi and asked her to take Cheng Linglu to the Datuo military airport in Xingcheng and take the plane arranged by Xu Changen to the capital.The current situation is turbulent, and Cheng Mo is not at ease that the mother and daughter will continue to stay in Star City, but let them stay with Shen Mengjie in the residence arranged by Tai Chi Dragon in the capital.

When Shen Youyi and Cheng Linglu arrived in the capital, when Shen Youyi appeared holding Cheng Linglu at the military airport, seeing his daughter's slightly grown up face, his heart throbbed again.However, under his eager eyes, Cheng Linglu immediately ran towards Athena waving his little hands, shouting "Second Mom, Second Mom" ​​and threw himself into Athena's arms.

This made Cheng Mo, who had already opened his hands, quite embarrassed.Fu Yuanzhuo, Gu Feifan, Guan Bojun and Du Leng couldn't stop laughing when they saw Cheng Mo's rare embarrassment.

After reuniting with Shen Youyi and Cheng Linglu at the airport for a while, Cheng Mo and Athena were about to embark on a private plane to Berlin, and they had to leave again in a blink of an eye. Cheng Linglu threw away the Lego toys Cheng Mo bought for her and cried Mess.Cheng Mo didn't know how to comfort his daughter, nor how to answer her daughter's questions.Shen Youyi finally comforted his daughter, and when Cheng Mo and Athena got on the plane, Cheng Linglu cried into tears again.

Cheng Mo came down from the gangway, hugged Cheng Linglu and said, "Little Lu, when you grow up, you will understand why Dad left."

Cheng Linglu shook his head, put his arms around his neck and said, "I don't want to grow up, I want to grow up small."

Cheng Mo said with a smile: "But people always have to grow up!"

"I won't!" Cheng Linglu cried, "Where are you going! I'm going too. Mom is going too."

Shen Youyi winked at Cheng Mo, and said softly: "Go, go, Xiaolu too."

Speaking of which, Shen Youyi pushed Cheng Mo up the gangway, and on the plane Shen Youyi hugged Cheng Linglu to coax her to sleep. After a while, Cheng Linglu, who was tired from crying, fell asleep in Shen Youyi's arms.

Cheng Mo sent Shen Youyi off the plane again, and said guiltily: "Sister Xi, it's really hard work for you, I haven't fulfilled all the responsibilities and obligations I should have fulfilled."

Shen Youyi hugged Cheng Linglu and whispered, "As long as you are safe. I don't expect anything else."

Cheng Mo hugged the mother and daughter into his arms, "I'm sorry."

It was rare for Shen Youyi to take the initiative to kiss Cheng Mo, and said softly: "Let's go! The fawning deer is going to cry again when he wakes up."

Cheng Mo let go, looked down at his daughter, stroked Shen Youyi's flushed cheeks from the cold wind, and whispered, "Next time we come back, we'll have another one to keep Xiaolu company."

Shen Youyi said angrily: "You'd better have a baby with Athena first." After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the airport terminal. After walking a few steps, Shen Youyi couldn't help but shed tears, but she never look back.
