Chapter 684: Falling apart (V)

“From coast to coast—the entire Berry Country, our communications have been cut off?!”

"Where did these flying behemoths come from? I want to know which department allows them to lurk in the Berry Kingdom."

"And President Ellis and Congress, what the hell are they doing?"

The National Defense Center was in chaos, everyone's face was busy and anxious, and their hearts were confused——

Space carrier?

Never heard of it!

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 the enemy!

We should take countermeasures now."

"But we now have two presidents!"

“What happened to the two presidents?”

Rhodes looked puzzled: Two presidents can watch UFOs attack the country? !

The Minister of Defense said nothing, and the noncommissioned officer in charge of restoring communication equipment rushed to the door: "Communication has been restored!"

呲——

The large screen in the center of the command center lit up, and President Ellis appeared on the screen.

Rhodes didn't know what was going on, and felt bad: This president suddenly announced that he would change 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 wartime state. 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. It was only after I knew this news that I convinced Congress, Extend my term. 】

[President Ellis: The Atlas Group has promised money and power to our political groups and has 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 the traitors and corrupt elements among us. 】

The people in the command room looked at each other in total silence.

What's this?

Rhodes was not intimidated: "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, not..."

[President Ellis: You're right, Colonel Rhodes, but there are so many enemies among us that it's 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 efforts. 】

As soon as he finished speaking, General Ross came in with a group of mysterious soldiers from outside the door:

These soldiers are well equipped and have all the necessary combat equipment. There seems to be something like an Atlas exoskeleton under their clothes to support them.

[President Ellis: 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 Berry soldier should have. I believe he is our best choice, starting from now on. , he will be my deputy.]

Rhodes didn't want to hear the rest.

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 alleged abuse at all, and the imprisonment was even more nonsense——

Africans generally don't even have an airtight house, and the place where Ross was detained was a diplomatic reception hall!

To be honest, many people thought that keeping Ross in custody was a good thing at the time: this war-minded Air Force general had done something with extremely bad international impact, and having him imprisoned would actually help maintain the delicate peace, and Berry Country would also have more Many cards can be played.

Now it seems that the reason why this is done is obvious.

This is the promotion that Ross dreams of, the power that he dreams of——

He maintained the cold face that a soldier should have: "Why are you still standing there? Start working and continue to repair our equipment. We need to include fighter planes and space carriers in the friendly force markings."

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!"

Presidential encrypted channel?

Ellis has something else to say?

Ross didn't pay attention. The others just stood silently, but another president suddenly popped up on the screen:

Barnes appears on the screen looking disgraced, with the lights behind him flickering, as for the background.

Everyone present instantly realized that the president was inside 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 had a dirty look on his face, and he was not wearing a comfortable formal suit. Bandages were wrapped around his body, and various hanging bottles were at his hands——

His eyes, his clothes, his position and his temperament.

Not so much a president, but more like a real general, a warrior.

[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 our country! 】

The atmosphere in the war room changed instantly, but whether it was Ross, Rhodes, or the Secretary of Defense——

No matter how gradual they were, they couldn't be so decisive as to pull out a gun and shoot in an instant.

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 shots were very accurate, but there were too many killers around Rose, and they were also well-trained——

Others who reacted faster knew how to find cover and dodge resignedly, but the older ones and those who reacted slower could only watch themselves being shot!

Bang bang bang bang!

"Cover Commander Ross!"

"There is a traitor!"

The gunfire 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 and worked together have fallen into a pool of blood.

Rhodes 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 certainly have more equipment sitting in the warehouse, but"

"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."

Rhodes felt like he was in a dream: Berry Country had two presidents and was still being attacked. Now his immediate boss was either dead or seriously injured.

"Wait a minute!" Rhodes shook off the female soldier's hand, "Who are you? How do you know who we should listen to?"

"Natasha, sir, I, like you, just know that we are being attacked, our people, our home.

Isn’t that what the military is supposed to do? Even without a president, we should do everything we can to save the remaining people. "

After saying that, Natasha walked out quickly.

"Grass" Rhodes suddenly cursed and kicked away the Hydra body on the ground, "You are right. Keep monitoring!

Once communications are restored, attack orders will be sent to bases that can receive signals. At the very least, they should be driven out of the city.

I hope it’s not too late to organize a counterattack now, those big guys are not joking.”

Just as Rhode followed Natasha outside, he saw the latter staying where she was, looking at the sky——

"What are you looking at?"

Before Rhode finished speaking, he looked towards the sky in Natasha's direction:

The space carrier is crashing!

It's time for them to fight back!
