The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"Everyone should calm down and think carefully instead of making irresponsible remarks!"

This was the first time that President William lost his composure in front of everyone. He was always known for his gentlemanly demeanor, but at this moment he was so angry that he was shaking all over. He couldn't understand the choices made by Hirata and President Kim. It was obvious that Baip's proposal was only for the benefit of the United States, and it was impossible to achieve an equal division. He suspected that President Baip had made all the arrangements before leaving, and only waited until now to make this seemingly reasonable suggestion to win people's hearts.

President Baip couldn't help laughing when he saw William's gaffe. He finally tore off William's gentlemanly disguise, revealing his true face of profiteering. He felt that he had already won the election, at least he had more than half of the votes, and things would develop exactly as he wished.

For the next few minutes, the meeting room fell into a deathly silence. President Baip's laughter gradually faded into the air. President William also realized his mistake and said sorry before saying nothing more. President Kim and Hirata Momojiro remained silent, perhaps still struggling in their hearts. President Radi and President Markham exchanged glances, as if considering how to express their opinions.

Finally, it was President Radi who broke the silence: "I think... President Baip's proposal makes sense, and President William's analysis is profound. This matter is indeed not as simple as imagined..." His words seemed to be very conventional, and he did not want to offend any party, nor did he want to make a clear statement. And this battle between interests and choices is destined to continue in the coming time.

However, President Baip did not let the president evade the question easily. Instead, he interrupted him and asked directly: "Then tell me, which plan do you think is more reasonable?"

President Radi was in a dilemma. On one side was President William, and on the other was President Baip, neither of whom he could afford to offend. He thought for a moment and then said bluntly:

"Since both options have their merits, why do we have to choose one? We can just take both!"

Upon hearing this, President Markham quickly nodded in agreement and almost clapped his hands in approval.

"Yes, absolutely! President Radi is absolutely right. Why should we stick to the framework of choosing between two options? We can choose between three, four, or even five or six options! Why not?"

"When Jiuzhou encountered difficulties, everyone worked together and then went to negotiate separately. Didn't Jiuzhou support us last time also separately?"

"We should each negotiate separately with Kyushu, not interfere with each other, and strive for our own interests. This is the fairest way."

President Markham looked very proud. He supplemented President Radi's unfinished ideas incisively and vividly, and secretly congratulated himself on his wit. He was sure that even President Baip would find it difficult to find the flaws, and he couldn't help but secretly praise his quick wit in his heart.

In fact, this method was also his idea, thanks to President Radi's inspiration. He was extremely nervous just now, fearing that President Baip would ask him to express his position next. President Markham had a headache, and he was in a dilemma, because both William and Baip were big figures that he could not afford to offend.

Fortunately, President Baip first asked President Radi’s opinion, giving him a chance to breathe and allowing him to speak before Baip.

President Radi looked at President Markham in surprise. This was the first time that their ideas were so consistent and they could complement each other. To be honest, he was also in a state of confusion when he just finished speaking. If President Markham did not continue to supplement, his speech would likely become the target of public criticism. If President William and President Baip joined forces to attack, he would be in a difficult situation.

“Papa—!!!”

President William suddenly applauded and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"The two presidents' opinions make a lot of sense. Yes, our six elite teams are all part of the joint army. No matter which team lends a hand, the final credit belongs to everyone."

"Then we will use this as an excuse to negotiate with Kyushu separately!"

The point he emphasized was sharing of credit, that is, even if in the end only the Ranger Squad really helped Kyushu, other teams also had the right to participate in the negotiations.

These words basically put an end to President Baip's idea of ​​monopolizing power. Either everyone should work together, or no one can succeed.

President Baip looked unpredictable, his eyes moving rapidly, as if he was thinking about something. President Kim and Hirata Momojiro took the opportunity to exchange glances, realizing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that would benefit both parties, so they expressed their opinions.

"Yes, we are an indivisible whole, and this is an indisputable fact. But when it comes to specific agreements, it may be more appropriate to negotiate separately."

"Yes, that's absolutely true. If we insist on negotiating together, we will have very few demands to make at one time. If we negotiate separately, we will have seven chances, which is enough for everyone to propose conditions that are beneficial to themselves. There is no need to compromise with each other, and no one's interests will be harmed."

As soon as these words came out, the situation instantly became five to one, and President Baip became the one who was isolated and helpless. He glared at the two guys who turned against him at the last minute, his face full of dark clouds, as if he would explode at any time.

However, at this critical moment, President Baip said something that shocked everyone.

"Okay, let's decide this first. It's not a bad idea to negotiate separately."

President William and others could not help but stare at President Baip's expression, not understanding why he suddenly changed his attitude. Especially President Jin and Hei Taojiro, they were ready to be scolded, even if it was a scolding from Baip, as long as it could make him calm down.

However, unexpectedly, President Baip actually gave in! President Baip, who always refused to give in and could not be stopped when he got angry, compromised so easily today, which made people wonder if there was something else going on.

"President Baip, do you agree?"

President Radi asked cautiously, fearing that he might bring bad luck and anger Baip.

"Ah."

President Baip nodded without further explanation, which only made everyone more suspicious. Instead of feeling the joy of victory, they were worried that President Baip was secretly plotting something and was ready to bite them back.

"In that case, let's just settle it like this."

President William had to step forward to preside over the meeting because President Baip nodded and then remained silent, unwilling to express any opinions.

At the same time, in that vast sea, the warship where the Ranger team was located was anchored alone on the sea, almost motionless. To be precise, they could not move. They had tried various methods, but none of them worked.

"No, if we continue like this we will be trapped in this sea. There is no way there will be any rescue team nearby. No one will come to such a remote place."

"That's right, we can only save ourselves or wait for rescue, but the prerequisite is that the headquarters must know our situation, but they know nothing right now!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just helpless? We have already tried all the ways to save ourselves!" The elite soldiers talked a lot and couldn't make up their minds. Various speculations came to their mind, but they still couldn't think of any good solution.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the bad weather that we had been worried about did not occur. The sea was calm, and the temperature, wind speed and everything else were normal. If we were not on a mission, this would be a great place to spend our holidays. Whether we were lying on the deck enjoying the sun, having a meal, or jumping into the sea to swim or dive, it was a great choice.

They had gone deep into the sea during their previous inspections and were deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery there. However, now they could do nothing. No one was in the mood to appreciate the surrounding environment. Instead, everyone was worried and their lives might be in danger at any time.

Everyone looked at Captain Jack with great expectation, hoping that he could come up with a good solution. However, Jack felt helpless at the moment. The responsibility on his shoulders was heavier than anyone else's, and he was more eager to do a good job. When such a problem arose, his mind went blank and he could not think of anything.

If someone asked him a simple question, Captain Jack might hesitate for a long time and still not be able to answer it. It seemed as if his thinking ability dropped to zero in an instant.

"What should I do? As the captain, I can't play any role at this time. I'm really useless!"

"But I have no idea what to do now. I don't even have the mood to organize everyone to take action..."

"My mind is in a mess. The more I think about it, the more headache I get. I can't remember anything. It's really annoying..."

Captain Jack was trapped in self-confusion and disgust, unable to extricate himself, and instead put himself in a deeper predicament. He dared not look his teammates in the eye, fearing that he would collapse and lose control, disrupting their thoughts.

That's right, Captain Jack's current condition is very bad, even worse than it looks. He has pushed himself into a desperate situation because of overusing his brain and negative emotions. Now, as long as he thinks about something, his head feels like it's going to explode and it hurts so much.

It was as if countless people were hitting his head with hammers, trying to pry open his skull to see the brain inside. Suddenly, his vision became blurred, and the faces of the team members turned into distorted irregular shapes, constantly approaching him.

"Don't come over here, you monsters!"

Captain Jack yelled, and then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. The others watched as the captain suddenly went crazy, yelled, and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Captain, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

"Cheer up, now is not the time to faint!"

"It's too dangerous here, Captain, you can't get into any trouble!"

The team members were leaderless and in chaos, and they all gathered around the captain. Fortunately, there was a soldier who was proficient in medicine, and everyone made way for him so that he could provide treatment.

He squatted on the left side of Captain Jack and carefully checked his pupils, pulse and other parts, and finally came to the conclusion that the captain was in a coma because of excessive brain use and extreme tension, which led to hallucinations, excessive emotional fluctuations, and the body could not bear it.

"So, the captain is okay, right? That's great!"

"It's good that he's not injured or poisoned. Let him have a good rest first!"

"The captain has given so much for us. He is under tremendous pressure..."

"Let's discuss what to do first. We can't just wait for the captain to give orders for everything!"

"Okay, we will definitely not let the captain down!"

The soldiers' morale was boosted. For Captain Jack, they were determined to fight to the end! One person was left to take care of the captain and ensure his safety, while the others ran to the deck to continue to think of a solution.

At present, submarines and fighter jets are not available for use. Without wings, one cannot fly in the sky, but one can explore the seabed by swimming. So, someone suggested: "Why don't we send a few people to dive underwater and feel the seabed!"

This suggestion immediately received response and support from everyone.

Several soldiers who were good at swimming were about to jump into the sea. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier discovered that there seemed to be some unknown black shadows hidden under the sea, quietly wriggling.

"Wait! Don't rush down, the situation seems a little unusual!" A soldier shouted suddenly, his face full of fear, and his voice became sharp due to nervousness, as if he had witnessed some horrifying scene.

The others didn't understand for a moment. They followed the soldier's gaze, but the sea was as calm as before, and even the dolphins jumping and playing were nowhere to be seen.

"I didn't see anything. What's going on? Don't be so startled, it's scary!" someone said in confusion.

"I was ready to jump, but you scared me so much that I almost hit the railing!" another person complained.

"Please, don't give blind orders if you are not sure. Our time is precious!" The soldiers who were preparing to go into the water also expressed their dissatisfaction.

The soldier who discovered the black shadows hurriedly explained: "I really saw it. There are several black shadows swimming under the sea. Don't be anxious, wait and see!" He vowed that he was not mistaken, his eyesight was very good, and his dynamic vision was outstanding.

Although they were a little hesitant, they finally decided to wait a few more minutes. They stared at the sea, trying to find the so-called black shadows. However, as time passed, the black shadows never appeared again.

Five minutes, ten minutes... Time passed, and everyone's patience was almost exhausted. They began to suspect that the so-called black shadow might just be the soldier's illusion.

The soldier himself felt a little embarrassed, and he began to wonder if he had seen it wrong, and delayed everyone's mission because of such an uncertain discovery. However, he was cautious by nature and decided to try again to prove that his words were not groundless.

He suddenly had an idea and ran to the place where the food was stored. (End of this chapter)
