Gray green army attire, silver frosted hair, Michigan than a palm sticking out from the cuffs, the facial lines squeezed out are deeper; the clean white Marine uniform, short golden hair, and the center of the eyebrows Yarlin's cross black stripes are deep, and the corners of Yarlin's mouth also evoke a curve. He stretched out his hand to hold Michigan's palm, and the two of them looked at each other in the air, and simultaneously filtered the other's data in their minds like a slide in their minds. Again.
"Yarlin Captain, you are welcome to replace Korum Captain at Alabasta. The current situation in the country has been turbulent. My Michigan and the military are very ashamed."
" Where, it's a great honor for newcomers to be invited to the Alabasta military's internal reception. In addition, I heard about the red line of the military's recent demarcation. I have to admit that I am shocked by your courage, Prime Minister. I believe that in the near future, The chaos and turmoil in Alabasta can be quickly calmed down."
"Here, please!" Michigan was more than a smile on his face. He took Yarlin to the pavilion on the second floor, behind him The chief of staff and some of the military leaders followed on both sides and walked up the stairs together.
The young officers stood quietly watching in the banquet hall on the first floor, and waited until the door of the upstairs pavilion was closed, the voice of the banquet hall resumed. Bell stood in the crowd, Looking dimly at the face on the second floor, he showed a looking thoughtful expression.
He knew that this military banquet invited the new Marine Captain stationed in Alabasta. He originally thought it was just a ceremonial invitation, but it was obviously not that simple. Michigan came out more solemnly. A series of actions to greet him and take it to the enclosed pavilion on the second floor show that Michigan takes it more seriously than usual.
"The military has taken control of the political arena, why did Michigan take such an attitude of attaching so much importance to the stationed Marine." Bell doesn't think that the prime minister of wily old fox will have no deep meaning. He knows this Alabasta well. Ivy League, this is a utilitarian and realistic iron-blooded prime minister, not someone who wastes no effort on face.
"Master Bell, do you want to go up?" a young officer next to him came over and asked.
As the Lieutenant Commander of the Kingdom Guard and the strongest Guardian God of Alabasta, Bell is naturally qualified to be included in the pavilion on the second floor.
His thoughts were interrupted, Bell frowned slightly and stared at the interrogating officer. Although the other party was interrogating, his body was blocked at the top of the stairs like a nail. He snered: "This military banquet was originally I didn't invite me. I'm already turned up without being invited. If I don't know how to go up to the second floor, I'm afraid the Prime Minister would be unhappy."
The young officer hearing this turned and returned to the second floor. At the entrance of the room, a few military officers side by side blocked the entrance and exit of the stairs on the second floor.
In the pavilion.
"The Second Army area is all in place, and the entire Western Region along this red line is divided into two. According to the Prime Minister's instructions, here, here, here, all the access roads are heavily guarded. , The relevant fortifications are already being built."
"The pioneer troops of the Third Military Region have entered and carried out the first wave of sweeping the rebel area in four lines. The red line has been pushed forward by 40. Here, 17 scattered strongholds of the rebels have been destroyed."
"Our fourth military region has also arrived, and can enter the field at any time to clear the rebels."
The leader of the military area reported to the presentation of the sand table map, and the meeting in the cabinet kicked off.
In the middle of the house is a huge sand table measuring 4 meters by 3 meters. The criss-crossed label on the top is marked with various flags representing military arrangements. Michigan stands in front of the sand table. "Alabasta is on the verge of life and death. The performance of the Nefertari royal family is really disappointing. It turns out that the Nefertari royal family no longer has the ability to lead Alabasta. This heavy burden can only fall on the shoulders of our military. This is a huge burden, and it means that countless blood corpses will be laid under your feet. It also means that the bloody butcher will be accompanied by the infamy. Are you all the generals here ready to take on all this?"
"We are soldiers, not hypocritical politicians. It is our duty to re-irrigate this desert-submerged country with our enemies and our own blood. For this, a little bit What is infamy?" The senior general in the Second Army district replied in a sharp tone.
"The people are stupid. They are like dumb people on the stage. They can never tell the truth and lies. The screams they give out are meaningless abuse. They don't Knowing that history itself is watered with blood, we can treat them kindly after we clear out the rebellion and rebuild order, but we don't have to pay attention to these noises, let alone explain to them." Standing behind Michiganby Said the chief of staff.
"Our Third Military Region has always been criticized by outsiders as executioners. In fact, our position from the very beginning is to suppress the rebellion and mobs, but it's a pity that Nefertari • Cobra Your Majesty It was obstructed in every possible way, but now that the Prime Minister of Michigan is in charge of the political situation, things are finally back on track." The murderous-looking boss of the Third Military District said: "We are soldiers, the country's strongest line of defense, against rebellions and mobs. Even if there are ten million reasons, there is absolutely no possibility of toleration. Compromise and negotiation are not the means of our soldiers. The peace that is purged with guns and knives in our hands is the real long-term peace."
The boss of the Fourth Military Region has a slightly unnatural expression. Unlike the Second and Third Military Regions, which stand firmly behind Prime Minister Michiganby, the Fourth Military Region is the last to change course.
After a while, he sighed and said: "Although I have never wanted to use this extreme method, the facts have proved that the cowardice and incompetence of the Nefertari royal family cannot save this country, but instead urge this The country has fallen step by step into a deeper abyss. Therefore, our Fourth Military Region has also cut off all illusions. Now we stand firmly in support of the Prime Minister's policy, and will never have a trace of mercy and sympathy for the rebels. If there is only blood In order to save this land, dyeing the uniform into red is an unavoidable duty for our soldiers."
"Since everyone here is already conscious, then I will leave it to me. Come as the supreme commander to coordinate the layout of this war." Michigan than scanned the crowd, his gaze paused slightly on the face of Yarlin who was in the audience, then fell back to the sand table and said: "According to the established strategy, Everything beyond the red line is regarded as a rebellion area…"
