"Our country is being destroyed by people like this, but I sincerely hope we can set aside our prejudices and have a good conversation, instead of fighting fiercely for a foreigner."
"Think about it carefully, when you’re killing on the battlefield, Lee, that guy, is a billionaire. He even owns a city in Africa!"
"i Country needs unity, not division. I call on all people of i Country to lay down their weapons."
"The industry of i Country is already recovering, a sleeping lion is awakening. Wake up, people of i Country, your country is becoming powerful—"
"Do not resist the tide of the tis, we are originally one family."
President Ellis’s words will be played on television tomorrow.
Before the Space Airship takes off, the people of i Country could only dream of such a day:
Artillery fire will hit their hos, truly splitting their nation...
Although they always felt that i Country was very divided, now it really is divided.
The frontline of conflict, New York City, once the center of world economic trade, now has very few people on the streets...
People dare not leave their hos and only go out at designated tis to buy food.
In the defense system, the researchers of the Atlas Group are still resisting underground.
Dr. Otto and Skye connected the circuits, and Skye nodded to Anthony. They can communicate now.
[Anthony: Mr. President, this is New York City, nothing unexpected has happened recently.]
[Barnes: This is... the Pentagon, huh, I told an unfunny joke.]
The Pentagon has been destroyed in the battles.
Although Ellis’s words are gentle, his actions are not light at all. For such obvious targets, the Space Airship directly bombed them with troops.
Of course, the Space Airship is more inclined to ensure stability and order in control zones, maintaining stability in the rear...
Temporary stability.
[Barnes: Ellis has recently issued so warti production mandates, basically, they want to produce more Space Airships.]
[Barnes: On our side... to be honest, I think the situation is not optimistic.]
In the past, the deterrence of aircraft carriers was quite strong, as these massive military units could greatly enhance military projection capabilities, wherever they go, that place becos the frontline.
But in front of the Space Airship, which replaces it, the aircraft carrier is just a floating target on the sea.
The products of the Atlas Group are indeed good, but even the most formidable prosthetics, the most formidable soldiers, find it hard to face the intensive bombing of Space Airships.
The room was silent.
But soon, Martin raised his question:
[Martin: Mr. President, I heard that in the areas controlled by the illegal governnt, they are pushing for industrialization without limits.]
[Barnes: There is such intelligence. Our aircraft have observed that those places frequently experience massive explosions, thick black smoke, and the air quality is very poor...]
[Barnes: So poor that we can hardly see inside.]
[Martin: What about our proud intelligence system? Send so agents! Do I need to teach you this?]
[Barnes: ...The intelligence system is almost entirely theirs, you overestimate , Martin.]
Martin frowned:
[Martin: Impossible... In this day and age, such a large area, not a single piece of information can co out?]
Skye thought of sothing and chid in, "Actually... it’s not impossible. The boss once showed so simulated situations to get to study ctOS.
As a new type of city control system, if ctOS is promoted without restrictions, it can fully control information flow within the area.
At least until those outside the system master advanced technological skills."
Martin said emphatically:
[Martin: It seems Ellis’s allies have realized such a system. We can’t confront it head-on, but we are not sitting ducks either.]
[Barnes: What are your thoughts?]
[Martin: We’ll smuggle. If Ellis uses high-tech for high-pressure governance within the control zone, cri is bound to be an option... I rember they also like fully automated production?]
[Martin: Using such drastic thods to eliminate the workforce will definitely spark public outrage, but unard civilians find it hard to resist...]
[Barnes: If it were before, I would absolutely refute your "unard" stance, but there is indeed a weapons control policy in Ellis’s policies.]
[Barnes: But I recall Lille also advocates weapon control?]
[Martin: Tis have changed, Mr. President, you’re too rigid. Moreover, Lille’s true stance... is complicated, let’s not speculate.]
[Martin: Back to the previous topic, no matter what, a war without intelligence cannot be won. We need intelligence...]
[Martin: Since the professional intelligence personnel are not on our side, we can only find so agents ourselves.]
No professionals were present; these agents need strong personal abilities to break through the disadvantageous zero-intelligence situation.
Coincidentally, Barnes indeed has a suitable candidate, and he imdiately thought of this person.
[Barnes: I agree with you, a battle can’t be won without intelligence... but you want Captain Carter to smuggle and act as an agent?]
[Martin: We have no choice; she is the best among us.]
[Barnes: Excellent, we will send Carter to be an agent, to smuggle... quite ironic, if she weren’t British, we should have called her Captain Arica.]
[Barnes: I will... send a small team to carry out this task, to smuggle, to incite criminal activities.]
[Barnes: Though I don’t think it’s right.]
[Martin: You’re too rigid, Mr. President. When the law becos a tool of systematic oppression, cri is a legitimate defense.]
[Barnes: How strange, this doesn’t sound like sothing a financial tycoon would say.]
[Martin: We need to support those in the Ellis Governnt controlled state, with weapons, they will know what to do.]
[Martin: This small team also needs a technician... prosthetics, information systems, both need knowledgeable experts.]
After speaking, Martin paused.
He had candidates in mind, but he still hoped soone would volunteer, which would give him great confidence...
"I can."
What he didn’t expect was that everyone in the room raised their hands:
Dr. Otto, Professor Conners, Dr. Tumus, Michael, Skye, Peter, and even the intern Gwen...
They could even form a team themselves to be dispatched.
[Martin: ...There’s a change, we’ll send two small teams.]
[Barnes: The more people, the better.]
[Barnes: Lastly, with ti running short, let’s talk about Lille.]
[Barnes: Congratulations on his success in Latovia, but an agricultural country can’t help us much. When can he co back?]
[Martin: He has his own plans, we need to focus on doing our jobs well.]
[Barnes: I received an intelligence report from an unknown source, indicating that the north of Latovia is preparing for formal military strikes.]
[Barnes: It may involve a special operations unit similar to the Space Airship, I hope Lille can receive this ssage.]
[Martin: ...Under what na or organization?]
[Barnes: Military alliances, but according to this unknown source, these political changes may be influenced by an organization called the "Red House"...]
The communication paused for a few seconds, then Martin replied:
[Martin: Is this really intelligence from an unknown source? I thought you were hiding sothing.]
[Barnes: ...It really is an unknown source, but I think they are allies.]
[Martin: I understand... It seems it really is going to beco a world war.]
