Chapter 1727: The Sword of Dawn
"Mr. Vincent, do you think he will come?" It was the sixty-year-old man who spoke, and his old age made the whole hall look a bit dull. The old man opened a box with his hands full of age spots, and inside were three cigars neatly arranged. He took out one of them, cut off the cigarette cap of the snow box with a pair of exquisite silver scissors, put it to his mouth, and struck a match himself to light it.
He took another one out of the box and threw it in front of Vincent.
As the head of the Hidden Light Society, Vincent picked up the cigar and looked at the old man opposite and shook his head: "I'm not used to smoking this stuff, so I'd better leave it to you to enjoy."
, he pushed the cigar back.
The old man laughed, but the laughter was quite ugly. He exhaled a smoke ring and said, "I'm old, it's really inconvenient to be old, and my senses become dull. Ordinary smoke can hardly stimulate my senses, and only cigars still have a little taste."
"You are old, but some places are not old, such as here." Vincent nodded his head.
This old man is called Wally, and he is the leader of Freedom Gate. It can be said that the Gate of Liberty was secretly cultivated by the Guangyin Society. It was originally a pawn used by Vincent to deal with the Federation and provoke conflicts. But so far, the Gate of Freedom has grown rapidly, and now the Guangyin Society is unable to control this behemoth.
And the reason why Gate of Liberty can develop so fast is because of the old man sitting opposite. It was just such an old man without any combat power that made the Gate of Liberty independent from the hands of the Hidden Light Society, and even became a big man on an equal footing with Vincent.
It's not that Vincent didn't think about getting rid of Wally secretly. To be honest, there are many opportunities like this, but he can't do it. Because Wally has become the spiritual leader of Freedom Gate. Warri is still alive, then the Light Hidden Society can influence Freedom Gate through cooperation or other means. If he dies, the Gate of Liberty will collapse immediately, and it will be cheaper for the Federation.
It's a delicate balance, and Warri is a fragile cornerstone. Not only did Vincent not dare to touch him, but he had to send someone to protect him, lest the Federation assassinate him, and even if the surface forces did not negotiate, they would have to reshuffle their cards.
Time passed bit by bit, and when Wally's cigar was almost finished, the door was finally pushed open. Only one person walks in, Capulo.
A long distance away, Capulo said in a deep voice: "It's really like the style of your Hidden Light Society, and it's another base hidden deep in the ground. Why, one doomsday bunker is not enough, you have to get one more out ?"
"In fact, there are several other bases like this." Vincent stood up with a happy face: "I'm glad you will accept the invitation, Marshal Capulo. We should have talked a long time ago, and you will find that the Smith family is not the only one." Partner,
Especially after what happened today. "
"If I say that I don't know anything about it, what do you think?" Capulo walked to one of the chairs, took off the fox fur cape and put it on the back of the chair, then straightened his clothes and sat down.
The old man laughed dryly: "Everyone knows that Marshal Capulo is brave and unparalleled, and he would never do such a nasty thing."
Kaprow snorted, looked at Wally and said, "If I were to do this, it wouldn't be as full of mistakes as the Smiths. Nasty? Politics has never been nasty."
The old man's flattery hit the horse's feet, and he was so embarrassed that he could only laugh dryly. Went to get a second cigar, but didn't cut it open, just played with it in his hand.
Vincent could only smooth things over and said, "Marshal Capulo is right. Politics has always been about profit first."
The old man spread his hands.
Mrs. Karp coughed, looked at the two of them and said, "Then, what is the purpose of you guys inviting me to meet, can you share it now?"
Wally made a gesture of invitation to Vincent, apparently intending to let him take the lead, but he himself kept silent, so as not to kiss the wrong ass again. Vincent narrowed his eyes and said: "The day after tomorrow is the time to negotiate with the Federation. This negotiation is an accident for us, Marshal Capulo."
Capulo was silent.
Vincent continued: "Who would have thought that a boy from Beth Keld has grown to such a level that even Marshal Capulo can't suppress him. Now he is already a trump card in the hands of the Federation. We can’t control this trump card, but at least, the Federation has taken advantage of him, forcing us to agree to negotiate.”
Vincent spoke very skillfully. He didn't mention that Capulo was defeated at all. Instead, he used another statement, the same thing. Obviously, Vincent's statement made Capulo feel better.
"But everyone here should be the same as me, unwilling to sit at this negotiating table." Vincent said loudly: "I think everyone knows what conditions the Federation will offer. I just want to ask you two, Will you agree to those conditions? But if we don't agree, as long as we have that trump card, what kind of trouble can we make?"
Capulo snorted and said, "Can't you just say directly, how do you plan to deal with that Bethkind? Do you have to make such a big detour?"
Vincent made him speechless, smiled, and said, "I'm clearing things up for you guys. What the Federation is relying on now is Alan. To be treated fairly, we have to kick this trump card out of the game."
"Kick him out?" Capulo sneered, "It's as difficult as kicking me out, right?"
Vincent nodded and said: "That's why we invited Marshal Capulo to meet, because only the Marshal has fought against him. So we want to know the specific combat strength of Allen. Or, how many people need to be dispatched, Or what kind of weapon can kill him. At worst, he must be severely injured, so that the Federation has no cards to fight."
Capulo narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Vincent is really well prepared."
"It's easy to talk, it's up to you whether it will come in handy," Vincent said.
Capulo thought for a while, and said: "At Allen's level, crowd tactics are meaningless. If you want to win with more, at least you have to team up with Tanlang to do it. I think Tanlang will not make a move, so it is a pity that there is probably no one on earth who can win against Alan."
"Of course, if I'm willing to risk my life, it doesn't mean that I don't have the opportunity to injure him severely. Yes, it's just a serious injury. I'm not sure about killing him at all." Kaprow paused, spread his hands and said: "But I won't do that Do, so it is almost impossible to rely on the strong to deal with him."
"And what about weapons?"
"Weapon?" Capulo shook his head: "Don't talk about him, just talk about me. Even if I use the mothership's main gun to deal with me, I have too many things to do from the time when the main gun is recharged to hitting me. Yes. Even if I didn't destroy the mothership before the main gun hits, it can be avoided. In order to ensure the lethality, the mother ship can't be too far away, but if it is close, I can shoot down the mother ship before the main gun is fired. "
"And even if I get hit, the mothership's energy main gun may not be able to kill me. I can't even kill Alan. I want to kill Allen, just dreaming." Capulo looked at the dome: "Suppose there is such a weapon that can kill Or seriously injure people at our level, then this weapon must meet several conditions."
"Appreciate further details."
"First, it has to be precise. It has to be able to precisely lock on to the target so that the target is hit to the maximum extent possible without letting the attack miss."
"Secondly, the recharging time should not be too long. As for the physical attack, I think the weapons on the earth can't do it yet. So it can only be energy weapons. However, if the recharging time of energy weapons is too long, the energy response will be We are aware of it. Once we are aware of it, we can take many corresponding measures, such as fleeing thousands of miles away. With my speed, I can easily evade this slow attack."
"Third, it must strike quickly. The shorter the time from launching to hitting the target, the better. As for why, you can refer to the second point I raised above."
Capulo looked at the two people at the opposite table: "The last point is that the energy intensity must be sufficient, at least one shot must destroy the Star Destroyer to be hopeful. Based on the above points, I think about it and only one weapon is promising. It can be done, but that weapon will definitely not be used by us.”
Wally was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is that what the Marshal is referring to?"
"Railgun."
"Sword of Dawn!"
Kaprow and Vincent spoke at the same time, and the former nodded: "Yes, it is the Sword of Dawn. This satellite orbital gun was developed by the Federation long before the Nirms invaded, and the manufacturing of the components had been completed at that time. Nirm After the invasion of the Urms, the production base of the railgun was not attacked by artillery fire due to proper protection. The railgun was successfully launched half a year ago. It can accurately strike any city inside the planet internally; externally, it can destroy Any hull including the starship, it is no exaggeration to say that it is now the patron saint of the earth."
This weapon is also the trump card of the Federation, but both Capulo and Vincent have placed their base camp in the city. Take the underground base they are in now as an example, just above their heads are the streets of the city.
Thousands of people were tied to chariots by them, so the Federation had railguns in its air, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
"That is to say, only the Sword of Dawn can deal with Allen." Vincent laughed: "It's not that there is no chance, at least we can try."
"Wait." Kaprow said in a deep voice, "The Sword of Dawn is in the hands of the Federation. How do you control this weapon?"
"It's very simple, because there are still our dark chess pieces in the federation." Vincent laughed: "In order to show my sincerity, although I gave the federation a list, I still left one or two pawns behind. Prepare for a rainy day. Even if the few remaining chess pieces go back to their grandfather's generation, there is no problem at all. As for going further, I think that after the invasion of the Nirms, the Federation has lost Those precious 'evidences'."
