"Director, are you going to the old Brown's pastry shop today?" While Anderson Lehman was meditating, the adjutant sitting in the back of the carriage slightly leaned over and asked the old man.
The adjutant was also one of Anderson Lehman’s students, and he had good talents. He was born into a noble family. As long as he didn’t make a big mistake, his future was visible. He paved the way ahead.
"Yes, still go to the old Brown's pastry shop. If Lisa knew that I passed by the pastry shop and didn't buy her pastries, she must say it for a while." Anderson Lehman said when he mentioned his wife, there was very little Gentle look.
The carriage drove through the street quickly, skillfully traversed several alleys, and finally stopped at the door of the old Brown's pastry shop at the destination of the trip.
The adjutant jumped from behind the carriage, lowered the stairs, and opened the door.
Anderson Lehman walked off the carriage and then commanded: "You have to wait outside for a while, I still have something to tell old Brown."
"Okay, Dean." The adjutant responded respectfully.
Anderson entered the store and was preparing to walk to the counter as usual, taking the reserved special pastry from the old Brown, and telling the next request of the pastry to the old Brown, but the situation in the store made him stop. Stepped down, and looked around with caution, the sight fell on the only customer in the shop, and the hand was also placed on the special pistol and mechanical crossbow in the waist.
Don’t look at Anderson Lehman’s grade is very large, it is considered a retiree in other industries, but the training has not stopped for many years, so that his skill is not much worse than those young guys, and even can rely on many years of rich Fighting experience is even better.
"Who are you? Where did old Brown go?" Anderson Lehman said, politely, pointing his weapon directly at the man in the seat.
The man in the shop greeted Anderson Lehman calmly and said, "General Lehman, please don't be nervous, I have no evil..."
However, before he finished speaking, Anderson Lehman had already pulled the trigger in his hand. The huge gunshots and the slight crossbow sound sounded almost simultaneously, and the arrows and bullets hit the target one after another.
However, the strange thing is that the arrows and bullets did not cause any harm to the other party at all, but passed directly through the other party's body.
Anderson Lehman, who found this, had a bad idea, and instinctively made the most correct decision, and quickly quit the pastry shop.
It’s just that he just quitted the pastry shop, but he stopped, because he found himself still in the pastry shop, and the street that was supposed to be outside the pastry shop has now become the interior of the pastry shop. The exit is just the entrance It looks like a mirror.
"General Lehman, please sit down. I'm not malicious." In both mirrored pastry shops, a customer pointed to the seat opposite him at the same time.
"Damn monster!" Anderson Lehman immediately understood what he was encountering, and could not help but curse.
As a senior officer of the navy, he naturally knew something that ordinary people outside the world did not know, about family members, about extraordinary persons, about mutants implanted with alien cells, etc. In the eyes of this old school naval general, these existences cannot be matched by ordinary people The power of them still cannot change the nature of them as a group of monsters,
In the navy, there is actually a department composed of extraordinary people. This department was set up by Hoover Hansen, in order to face the cost of confrontation of the same kind of extraordinary people.
However, this department has not been included in the normal establishment of the Navy. It is a privately established establishment. The military expenses need to be provided by the Navy’s internal private warehouse. In addition, the extraordinary are extremely difficult to find. Even if they are found, they are easy to be robbed by the Special Bureau Go, so the framework of this department has not been fully established.
The transcendentals who have been incorporated into this department eventually became the bodyguards of the high-level navy, responsible for protecting the high-level navy from other transcendents.
For example, Hoover Hansen was assassinated with three such extraordinary people. With the help of the three extraordinary people, he escaped the assassination from the Avengers of Mozambique, but this time he was lucky. It seems to be gone.
Anderson Lehman, the former dean of the Naval Academy and the chief of naval logistics, was originally qualified to be equipped with three extraordinary guards, but he himself was very distrustful of these extraordinary men, and even hated it. Safety is not a big issue, so this benefit was rejected.
However, now he somewhat regrets his original decision. If he had agreed to the proposal, he would not have fallen into such a difficult situation.
After knowing that he might not be able to leave, Anderson Lehman quickly calmed down, and weighed himself and the other party’s strength, realizing that if the other party wants to kill themselves, it may be difficult for him to resist the other party with the weapon in his hand. Merits, so I put the weapon in my hand back to the holster and padlock. Without defense, I walked to the man who was pointing and sat down.
"Who are you?" Anderson Lehman asked in a deep voice: "It's not unusual to be able to understand my whereabouts and come here to see me."
While asking about the origin of the other party, Anderson Lehman also found some unusual places, such as the appearance and age of the other party. Although he saw the person opposite, the first thought came to the idea that the other person was a man, but he could not recognize what the other person was like and how old he was.
This is not because the other person’s appearance was deliberately blocked. In fact, the other party’s face was not covered. He can even clearly see the other person’s eyelashes and beards, but the problem is that no matter how he can see the other person’s appearance, but In his mind, he has never been able to remember these contents and integrate them into a whole. This is like dreaming, no matter how you understand the people you see in the dream, but you can’t wake up. Remember what the person in the dream looks like.
"Secretary Frank asked me to come here to wait for your Excellency." The other party said.
The person sitting opposite Anderson Lehman officially Leo Dodd, he followed the advice of Frank Fussen, came to the Brown Pastry House and waited for Anderson Lehman to appear, but he didn’t sit here and waited, he Let the pastry shop owner sleep for a while, and then set up a magic illusion in the pastry shop. This magic illusion soldier has no lethality, and can only let the illusion enter into a maze similar to a double-sided mirror world.
As he expected in advance, Anderson Lehman, an ordinary person, fell into a illusion and had to sit opposite him to talk, but only when Anderson Lehman tried his origins, he could not help but have an idea in his mind. , And revised the original self-introduction to expose Frank Fussen.
"Is the Director of the Special Bureau Frank Fussen?" Anderson Lehman showed an angry look on his face, and soon returned to normal, and Shen Sheng said: "What do you want from the Special Bureau for me, and this way Find me."
"Because this matter is not suitable for others, nor for others to know." Leo Shensheng said: "According to our understanding, the Navy has found the murderer who killed General Hoover Hansen, and decided to start this evening, Arrest it."
"What? Has the murderer been found?" Anderson Lehman couldn't help but froze for a moment, then a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
It’s no wonder that he feels displeased. He is also a high-ranking navy. He doesn’t even know such important news. Instead, he knows the news from an outsider. This is only because of his conflict with Hoover Hansen. , So that the senior navy has a little distrust of him.
However, he quickly put away his inner emotions, looked at Leo coldly, and said: "It is a good thing to find the murderer, at least to give General Hoover Hansen's family an explanation."
Leo smiled deliberately for a while, and said, "It would be good if it was as simple as that. In fact, the assassination of General Hoover Hansen not only involved General Hoover Hansen’s vicious colony in the past, but also included the interior of the kingdom. Some political competitions, even the Congress and the royal family have participated in it."
"What did you say?" Anderson Lehman stared at Leo without concealing the shock on his face.
Leo ignored the Anderson Lehman's exposed emotions and narrated the relevant process without hesitation. He heard Anderson Lehman's complexion, and his heart was more like turning over the river.
Anderson Lehman was not surprised that the people who assassinated Hoover Hansen came from the Mozambican continent, and it was related to the series of massacres that Hoover Hansen carried out in the colony. At the moment of death, a story related to revenge had appeared in his mind.
However, the assassin that he did not think turned out to be the chief actor of the spiritual drama group.
Anderson Lehman has also seen two performances by the spiritual drama troupe because of his wife. She also appreciates the petite woman on stage with a fascinating performance. Although he is not a loyal fan like his wife, he also loves it. The theater troupe's performance, and even the tickets for the last performance tonight, he had already bought it a few days ago.
But he could not have imagined that such a little woman turned out to be the murderer who assassinated the third man of the navy of the Inge Kingdom.
However, what made him unexpected was that the royal family and the Congress also participated in the assassination, providing various help for the assassin, in order to kill the navy hero of his own kingdom. This is why he is listening to Leo’s words. After that, the most difficult thing to accept.
Anderson Lehman was well aware that as the kingdom became a maritime hegemony, the Navy’s military establishment expanded rapidly. In just a few decades, the Navy’s establishment has been expanded seventeen times, and its total strength is more than ten times that of 40 years ago. .
The rapidly expanding navy naturally gave the navy generals the rights to expand rapidly, and because of these rights, today's high-level navy leaders have more ambitions and hope to obtain more rights, including absurdities such as overseas base autonomy. Claims.
And this inevitably caused conflicts with the royal family and Congress, because most of the rights they sought came from these two. If these rights were given to the Navy, they would definitely weaken the rights of both.
Anderson Lehman was very clear about these scumbags of political rights. He even participated in the formulation and planning of some plans for certain people in Congress and the royal family.
However, in his view, whether it is the navy, Congress, or the royal family, they will consciously restrain their actions, and always keep each other's struggles hidden in political competition, and will not put it on the bright side.
But now it seems that he thinks it is too simple. The Congress and the royal family have set their targets on the navy generals. This obviously has broken the bottom line of the political struggle. It is foreseeable that the situation will continue to develop. I am afraid that the civil war will inevitably appear.
"What do you mean by telling me these things?" Anderson Leo asked dullly.
Leo threw everything at Frank Füssen and said, "Secretary Frank means that you, General, can prevent the Navy from arresting the assassin on your own prestige."
"What? How dare you make such a request to me?" Anderson Lehman exclaimed in exasperation: "She assassinated the Kingdom Navy hero..."
Leo interjected: "But it is also your enemy, isn't it?"
Anderson Lehman said without hesitation: "Even if it is my enemy, it is an internal matter of our navy, and it is also our private affair. The fact that the royal family and the Congress will even find a killer to assassinate the Kingdom heroes is too much! Today they can assassinate heroes such as Hoover Hansen for state power for their own rights, and tomorrow they will certainly be able to assassinate other navy generals for some benefit!"
When Leo's voice fell, EbookFREE.me~ began to emphasize: "The Secretary does not want to prevent the navy from holding the royal family and Congress accountable. The Secretary just does not want the sea to arrest the assassin."
"Is there any difference?" Anderson Lehman looked at each other puzzled.
"Let me say this!" Leo organized a few words and explained: "In order to calm down the anger of the current Navy, the royal family and Congress sold their collaborator, the assassin, to the Navy, and let the Navy do it by themselves. That assassin."
"Despicable!" This kind of betrayal made Anderson Lehman uncomfortable and could not help cursing.
Leo smiled and did not respond, but continued: "It's just that the royal family and the Congress did not know that the assassin's hand they sold had a prehistoric civilization weapon, and that weapon could easily take Dulin City. Destroy, so that all the people in the city are killed instantly."
Anderson Lehman sniffed and could not help but sneer and said with a sneer: "Are you telling jokes? This kind of absurd thing, do you think I will believe it?"
"No, you will believe it." Leo said, raising his hand to cover Anderson Lehman's forehead
