Chapter 37 The Broken World (3)(2/2)
Thackeray was unwilling to go to Hydera anymore and held a meeting to avoid it. Napoleon VII did not put on airs and drove straight to the Grand Commander's residence and went to see Thackeray in person. He saw that Napoleon VII was just as expected to solve the "Hydera refugees"
"Further anxious about the matter, Thackeray became more and more determined. He left Napoleon VII in the living room and waited for an hour before he showed up unhurriedly.
Thackeray walked unhurriedly towards Napoleon VII and Clotte Guyon who were sitting on the sofa, wrinkled his swollen face, and said with a fake smile, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, we just said
We have been discussing the issue of refugees from Hydera. Since the solution requires long-term discussions, we decided to shelve the relevant motion for the time being and move the refugees to Kokila Island first..."
Corfu Island is located on the border between Greece and Albania, only a few dozen nautical miles away from Europa members crossing Italy. It is the bridgehead for smuggling from Greece to Italy. There is no doubt that this is something that Thackeray did not intend to strategize for Napoleon VII.
Space, directly force the palace.
Napoleon VII looked at Thackeray's old face. His skin was covered with age spots and wrinkles. It was so rotten that it made him sick to his stomach. Napoleon VII thought of Cheng Mo's words when he crushed General Michel under the Eiffel Tower.
In the scene, he imagined that he would draw the Sword of Oceanus and chop off Thackeray's head, but he smiled nonchalantly and said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to make such a hasty decision..."
"Oh? Could it be that His Majesty the Divine General has decided to agree to our conditions? If so, we can consider delaying the migration of refugees for a few days."
"I have a better plan."
"Really?" Commander Thackeray lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said noncommittally, "I can only spare ten minutes to listen to His Majesty the Divine General's grand plan."
Commander Thackeray was deliberately arrogant like the Commander of the Lighthouse. Napoleon VII smiled indifferently and said: "I think you also know something about Saint Ayala. Her father, Professor Ibrahim,
He is a famous Sun scholar who has great influence in Syria, and Saint Ayala also has an extraordinary reputation among the refugees. We can help them build up their armed forces and influence the domestic situation in Syria...
"
Thackeray laughed "haha", then shook his head, and said with some contempt: "Your Excellency, God General, it is too easy to think. The situation in Syria is complicated, not to mention Beacon and Ennos, even Yilang and Turqi
It can keep us from getting involved..."
Faced with Thackeray's ridicule, Napoleon VII said calmly: "This is exactly what I want to say. I support you in declaring war on Turzi and retaking Cyprus and Imia..."
This earth-shattering speech caused the ridicule on Commander Thackeray's face to instantly turn into astonishment. Then his expression froze and his breathing became rapid...
The grudges between Greece and Turtsis have a long history. The specific timeline can be calculated from the destruction of the Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire in the mid-fifteenth century. During the period when the Ottoman Empire ruled Greece, the Greeks resisted the oppression of the Turtsis.
Revolts broke out continuously, and it was not until 1830 that Greece became independent with the intervention of troops from England, France and Ennos.
In 1912, Greece again entangled the Balkan Alliance and declared war on the Ottoman Empire, regaining a lot of territory.
Then World War I broke out, the Ottoman Empire was defeated, and its territory was divided. The Ottoman Empire ceded part of Asia Minor to the Greeks. But the Greeks were obsessed with getting their capital, Constantinople (today's Istanbul) back, and participating in
The European powers attacked the Ottoman Empire. At this time, the strongman Kemal of Turzi came into being. He not only buried the Ottoman Empire, but also led the Turzi people to defeat the invading army of the European powers and established the Turzi
republic.
Not only did Greece lose its dream of the Sea of Marmara, but it also lost the newly recaptured Asia Minor Peninsula.
In recent years, there has been no peace between Greece and Turzi. The two countries have been in constant dispute over the oil and gas resources of Cyprus and the Mediterranean. If the lighthouse and Europa were not the mediators, the two countries would have started fighting long ago.
Napoleon VII's unequivocal support for the war in Greece was against the lighthouse, which was completely beyond Thackeray's expectation. But the recapture of Cyprus and Imia was of great significance to Greece, even if Thackeray
It's difficult for the commander to understand that things are going wrong, but Commander Thackeray can't help but feel excited...
Looking at the uncertain face of Commander Thackeray who was immersed in thinking, Napoleon VII whispered: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, should know the existence of Hospital No. 9 in Hydera Building, but you may not know why so many people are interested in it.
The Black Death hospitals are flocking to them. They can replace failing organs for the elderly, greatly extending their lifespan. It turns out that this technology is not mature, and the success rate is higher among young people. The elderly are at great risk. Now
This technology is completely mature. There is no difficulty in replacing lizard-man organs for the elderly. Hospital No. 9 happens to still have organs. I think the Grand Commander should consider doing a comprehensive physical examination and replacing the aging organs in the body, etc.
With your strong body, you may have the courage of young people to challenge the impossible!"
Commander Thackeray swallowed his saliva and raised his hand to loosen his tie, but found that he was not wearing a tie. He did not feel embarrassed, but unconsciously put down his hand and said in a dry voice: "Are you going to start a war?
?”
"War is always around...it is better to be proactive than passive." After a pause, Napoleon VII said calmly, "If you successfully take back Cyprus and Imia, and replace Turzi
Taking a share of the pie in Syria, it is not impossible to re-establish a monarchy in Western Greece in the future..." (It sounds like monarchy is as ridiculous as polygamy, but it is not uncommon for countries around the world to implement monarchy. It can be said that it is
One of the mainstreams, there are more than thirty in total, including not only the UK, which has the fifth permanent GDP, Japan, which has the third largest GDP in the world, but also the tycoon country Saudi Arabia, and the richest royal family in the world is the King of Thailand)
————————————————————————
Just when Napoleon VII and Commander Thackeray were brewing a war, Cheng Mo and Athena escaped from the slums with the help of Patani and Pierre. Pierre, as Clotte Guy,
A close confidant of Ang, who is also a chosen member of the Europa Executive Committee, it is not a big problem to get two Interpol policemen with "real" identities out.
Pierre personally drove Cheng Mo and his immediate boss's fiancée to the National Museum in the city center, which was crowded with tourists. Seeing that it was far enough away from Hydera and the crowds were dense enough, Patani stopped the car and called Pierre.
Wait a moment in the car.
After getting off the car, Cheng Mo searched on the roadside and took the two of them into a Western-style cafe not far from the museum. At ten o'clock in the evening, there were not many people in the cafe, but they still found one
He sat down in a hidden corner, took the menu and ordered something to the waiter. When the waiter left, Patani said impatiently: "Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise."
Cheng Mo turned to look at Athena. Athena took off her backpack, opened the metal box that could block the signal inside the backpack, and found the "Cartier Blue Balloon". She did not choose to hand it to the handkerchief sitting next to her.
Tani instead handed it to Cheng Mo, who was sitting opposite her.
Cheng Mo didn't dare to order Athena, so he could only stand up and take the watch, and then handed it to Patani.
Patani didn't care at all about the strange atmosphere and Athena's inexplicable behavior. He quickly put the watch on his free wrist, opened it and looked at the "DNA reading progress", and then stood up in a hurry, "I can't stay long, there are
We will contact you through secure email about anything. You should also leave here as soon as possible and leave Xila to save you from long nights and endless dreams..."
Cheng Mo nodded, and Patani turned around and walked out of the coffee shop.
Seeing Patani disappear into the crowd, Cheng Mo also stood up and looked at Athena and whispered: "Then let's leave quickly!"
Athena stared at the kebabs on the table not far away, licked her lips, and said without turning her head: "I'm hungry, I want to eat meat..."
Cheng Mo was speechless, thinking about how long it had been, and it was important to escape first. He coughed and tried to attract Athena's attention, but Athena didn't look at him at all, just staring at the kebabs on the table.
Cheng Mo sat down helplessly and whispered, "Can I eat while walking?"
Athena finally looked back at Cheng Mo and said seriously: "I'm hungry, I want to eat meat."
Cheng Mo probably understood Athena's character and knew that her posture meant that she had already made a decision. Even if Napoleon VII's men came here with guns at this time, she would probably sit down and finish eating before leaving.
, so he could only raise his hand quickly, "Hey! Waiter, please bring me the menu again."
The waiter said "wait a moment" and quickly brought the coffee that Cheng Mo and the others had just ordered. He also gave Cheng Mo the menu, and Cheng Mo pushed the menu to Athena.
Athena didn't care about Cheng Mo's urging gaze at all. She looked through it carefully and ordered five moussakas and five souvlakis in the surprised eyes of the waiter. As for the fancy and exquisite snacks that girls are keen on
, she didn’t order anything.
"Ma'am, are you sure you need to order five moussakas and five beef pies? Isn't that a bit much?"
Athena, who was made up to look like a woman with a round face and freckles, looked up at the waiter and said simply and clearly: "Hurry up and serve, I'm hungry."
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and said "Okay", put away the menu and turned to leave.
The two of them didn't talk while they were waiting. Cheng Mo stared out the window and observed the flow of people, while Athena turned her head and continued to stare at the people at another table not far away eating. Until the waiter brought five portions of mousse.
Ka (beef patties) and five portions of souvlaki (barbecue kebabs) were placed on the table. Athena turned back to look at the beef patties and kebabs on the table, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and started eating as if no one else was watching.
.
Athena didn't pay much attention to her manners when eating, and it had nothing to do with the word elegance. Cheng Mo was used to watching beautiful girls chew slowly, and he had never seen a girl eat a little boldly. She grilled the skewers with her left hand.
The beef patty on the right hand, take a bite from the left, take a bite from the right, the cheeks are beating like bellows, and the red lips are covered with grease, looking like a panda eating bamboo and being naive.
At the moment, Athena's make-up looks like a fat girl with freckles and a round face, which goes well with such a clean and tidy way of eating. But Chengmo imagined it for a moment. If Athena looked like herself, it would be a bit inconsistent. She felt like a
The extremely foreign porcelain doll-like beautiful girl speaks Northeastern dialect that tastes like Northeastern dialect...
"Maybe she is really hungry." Cheng Mo thought, but when he looked at it, Athena's food was so delicious that Cheng Mo felt like he was watching a mukbang. He also suddenly felt hungry.
, it happened that he hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and his stomach made a "gurgling, gurgling, gurgling" sound.
In the silence, the sound was particularly obvious. Athena stopped chewing and looked at Cheng Mo warily like a cat guarding its food.
Cheng Mo coughed and said expressionlessly to the fragrant moussaka: "Borrow one, borrow one and eat it first, and I'll give it back to you."
Athena shook her head like a rattle, "You already owe me two pieces of ouroboros, you can't owe me that much."
Cheng Mo couldn't figure out Athena's brain circuit, and didn't know how she equated food with Ouroboros. He could only give up communicating with Athena, called the waiter, and ordered some food.
After finishing the food, Athena returned to her cool demeanor without even looking at the plates on the table, as if the empty plates on the table were all Cheng Mo's masterpieces. Cheng Mo quickly finished his portion of the pancake,
He took a sip of coffee and said, "You can go now!"
Athena nodded, moved her chair, stood up, passed Cheng Mo and walked straight out.
Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment. He quickly grabbed Athena's arm and shouted in a low voice: "Hey! I haven't paid the bill yet!"
Athena turned her head and looked down at Cheng Mo, and said inexplicably: "Pay the bill? What bill do you pay for?"
Cheng Mo pointed to the empty plates on the table, "Don't you want to pay for your food?"
Athena glanced at the table, seeming to feel that she was a bit unjust for eating so much, and whispered: "Don't you have any money? I rarely go out to eat, and even if I do, someone else pays the bill... so...
..I never take money with me when I go out..."
"I have money? I have been imprisoned on the 33rd floor of Hydera for almost two years. Where did I get the money? Stop making such jokes!?"
Athena said expressionlessly: "I can't joke."
"Then wait..." Cheng Mo stood up.
"What are you waiting for?" Athena asked in confusion.
