"Your brain is not bad. This time I was the one who sent ET to Yamatai. This method is like using weak monsters to train soldiers. First let them contact a small group of enemy troops to improve their morale. Change In other words, it is to inject serum to make it immune. In fact, I am doing the same thing in various kingdoms. I did not expect to be discovered by you... Anyway, I also know this method. In order to gather as many people as possible Forces, sometimes you must use some tactics, this is one of the lessons we have learned. We are using you, and the purpose is to protect you and mankind."

"You mean, is this also the meaning of the king of "Envoy"? If it is true, I cannot accept it!" Miyu yelled.Gan was startled and raised his head. "Mi and Your Highness?" "Shut up! Katie, are you listening?" "You misunderstood. Although O is using this method, he does not do it voluntarily-in fact, with deep heartache. There are too many lessons from the past. So he has to use all means to deceive, To exploit, to sacrifice. The regret he felt when he left his hometown is still strong: 'At that time, it would have been nice to abandon the mission and go away with him.'”

The King of the "Command"'s...remorse?Just by imagining it, Miyu felt like his brain suddenly emptied. Cardi suddenly let out a self-deprecating laugh. "I am Cutty Sark, the Witch of Cholera. I hold high the banner and lead mankind to the fastest victory. With the help of everything I can use, I use all available resources. Blow everything away with the wind of time, and use the wind of time to The sand buried everything. Standing in front of everyone and bearing all this is the man named O. I also hope that there is a woman who can share it for him, but in a hundred thousand years, there is no such woman.”

"My Highness!" Yayo felt his shoulders being shaken a few times, and regained consciousness.The boy Gan held a water glass in one hand, and was looking at Yayo worriedly. "Your Highness's complexion is very bad, do you want to lie down for a while..." Gan is gentle and loyal.For forgiveness, he could even give up his life.Miyu couldn't bear, didn't dare, couldn't lose him. Yayu hugged Gan suddenly. "Mi... Mi and Your Highness?" Gan's body suddenly became extremely stiff, and the water glass fell to the ground. However, Yayo didn't hold him for too long.She pushed him away and stood up.Still in a daze, Gan asked in a daze, "Where is your Highness going?"

"I want to be alone for a while." Mi Yu boarded a watchtower and told the soldiers to go down.Not far away, the lights in the legion camp illuminated the Yamatai palace as if it were a festival.Opposite the legion, the paddy field under the moonlight stretches as far as the eye can see. At this moment, Yayu strongly felt that he was the Lord of the Peoples.Everything here is under his command, and conversely, he also has strong feelings for this place.The mountains, rivers, seas, officials, slaves, soldiers and civilians of Yamatai, the famous and the unknown, are all things that I want to protect and cherish.Only when you are invaded do you know how precious all of this is.

Only after comprehending all of this can I... no, no.It should be after I finally realized all this that I really felt the weight of responsibility.Mi Yu couldn't help feeling a wordless fear of what he could do. Look east.Darkness enveloped the Kasagi mountains.On the other side of the mountains, there is a man who is feeling the same... no, it is several times, dozens of times heavier than his own. "King of "Envoy"...how many unbearable things have you endured..." Mi Yu suddenly wanted to talk to him. Finland, Oulu city.The roar of aircraft engines sounded on the land covered with permafrost. The dive bombers painted with the iron cross mark and the ground attack planes painted with the sickle and hammer mark took off one after another, circling while forming a team, four, eight Together, they formed a formation of sixteen and flew northwest.

Escorting fighter jets were accompanying them above, as if to cover the formation below.The unpainted silver P-51 of the United States Army Air Corps, the Bf-109 of the German Third Reich Air Force with white winter camouflage, and the MC-202 of the Royal Italian Air Force with dazzling red, green and white tail fins.Although instructions were given not to paint with nationality marks, they were apparently ignored with various excuses. A total of more than 500 aircraft formed a large formation, and its goal was the last stronghold of ET in the northwest: the famous Kiruna Mine.At this moment, the United Army of the Twelve Nations in Europe is also advancing towards that place.It is obviously a great success for mankind to be able to push ET, which once swept across Europe, into the current desperate situation—although this small country full of forests and lakes was ravaged by war just like in the official history.

ET in the northern hemisphere is almost cleaned up. Only South Africa and Australia in the southern hemisphere still have ET strongholds, but they are also under heavy attack from the British fleet and the French army stationed in Indonesia. This is the battlefield chosen by the messengers for the third battle, the largest war in human history.This is not only to preserve the combat effectiveness of human beings, but also to strengthen human history in the future.Once ET detects that the courier has gone back in time, it will inevitably follow it later.In order to meet them, it is obviously more appropriate to choose this era with the highest fighting spirit in human history.

The messengers who appeared around 1940 took all means to prepare for the ET, from secret talks with heads of state to manipulation of public opinion at the public level, using everything to the extreme.These preparations played a huge role in the subsequent battle with ET. Clearly, for another year at most, unprecedented victories will be firmly in the hands of humanity. However, Orwell still felt very lost inside. In a small town in the depths of the Baltic Sea that has become an important military town, the voice of Kunchi, a comrade-in-arms in Washington, came from Orwell's office: "Orwell, I'm sorry, there is bad news."

"What's wrong?" "There are only four aircraft carriers." "Didn't the US government promise to dispatch six ships?" "Well. But two of them went to South Asia." Orwell frowned.Most of the attack aircraft flying from Oulu to Kiruna did not have enough fuel, so it was planned to send an aircraft carrier to the Norwegian sea to land these attack aircraft.Originally, the six aircraft carriers were very difficult, but now there are two missing... we can only let the plane that landed first quickly refuel and then take off immediately.However, for German and Soviet aircraft that were not originally carrier-based aircraft, Orwell was not sure whether they could take off directly from the aircraft carrier.

"Why did the Americans do this? There are obviously American aircraft in the attack aircraft formation?" "Mustang's endurance is very strong, and there is no need to refuel halfway... The White House has its own little calculation. The purpose of dividing the aircraft carrier to South Asia seems to be to grab some benefits from the British army." "What good would it do them to piss off Churchill?" "According to the investigation by Eck, a comrade in arms in Berlin, there seems to be some secret agreement between Roosevelt and Hitler. They seem to be strengthening ties and preparing for the post-war. We blocked Auschwitz, which is considered to be an enemy with them." Orwell sighed. It’s like this every time—the messenger is telling the truth and impressing in every possible way, at least it can be regarded as barely gathering human beings together; however, contrary to the superficial joy, the confrontation that is happening in this era seems to be darker and deeper than the official history . This is also helpless, Orwell thought.The reason why war broke out in official history is the inevitable result of long-term political and economic instability.In today's era, although the war against ET has relieved some tension, social problems are still unresolved, and even more frustration has accumulated. Cutty Sark has long been recommending the option of conquering humanity.If there was a five-point chance of winning this choice—no, even if there was only a four-point chance of winning, the messengers would have already made their move.However, the messengers of this era do not have so many resources, so they had to give up this plan.The combat power of the messenger sent here from the 22nd century is less than one-twentieth of what it was back then. However, as Orwell walked towards the Joint Air Force Command building in Oulu, he thought to himself: Aren’t there many comrades in arms from other times?Although we are not compatriots from the same hometown, can we take decisive action with the help of them? Thinking of this, Orwell asked the manager's intellectual body: "Katie, is it convenient?" "What's the matter? Just don't talk too long." "Have something difficult?" "Well, an action without precedent. At the same time, coercive measures are being considered for non-cooperative humans." "let it go." Cutty Sack's answer has a weird time delay in it.That is due to the limitation of the speed of light.Right now, her hardware — her flagship — is over the moon. The 22nd century ET is alive and seems to be traveling back in time to the moon, building some sort of assault weapon there.Katie is busy figuring this out.Orwell dropped the dialogue. The Nordic Joint Air Force Command is made up of the commanders of the four countries sending the aircraft and the generals and schools of many other supporting countries.When Orwell told them about the shortage of aircraft carriers, all the generals showed unusually heavy expressions.Ironically, even the commanders of the US military were shocked by the news, as if they had received no news from their own country.But for Orwell at this moment, this is not consolation at all. As expected, a short silence was followed by a heated argument.The generals of the Soviet Union and Italy blamed the United States, while the American commander cited the fact that they had bombed from long distances from the British Isles and claimed equal obligations.The German general didn't know if he knew about the secret agreement of the upper echelons, so he pretended to be a calm arbitrator, and quietly helped the Americans.Even the French and Spanish military attaches who were present as observers began to intervene, and the situation got out of hand. "Shut up! Is it time for dogs to eat dogs!" Orwell knocked on the table and yelled, and his hostile eyes immediately focused on him, as if to say that it's all your fault!The U.S. commander who was cornered by the Soviets and Italians turned directly on him. "You have the nerve to call! Don't you have any means of direct attack? Didn't you say that there will be a large number of reinforcements? Are those all deceptive propaganda?" Orwell bit his lip.Those are indeed the messenger's propaganda to humanity, but it is not a deceitful lie. In other times, there were indeed messengers who came to Orwell's time, and the messenger from Washington just mentioned was one of them.He is the messenger sent here by humans in the 24th century.But there is no record of him in Orwell's history.This is because his birth was the result of a change in the history of the present age. The "original messenger" like Orwell annihilated the ET in 1943 and saved the human race, and the result was the change of history.Humans who should have died survived, and technologies that were supposed to be discovered later emerged early.These people and these technologies will have an impact on future generations, and one result is the possibility of messengers that would never have appeared in the 24th century.Human beings of that era looked back on their own history and thought of the tough battles in the 20th century, so they sent messengers back to support them. Theoretically speaking, the number of messengers who come to support is related to the battle situation.The better the situation, the greater the number.If humans completely annihilate ET, there will be nothing to hinder their development, and future humans will be able to make messengers as they please.From that moment on, human beings can let the messenger cover all the past, and maximize the defense capabilities of all time branches—in other words, that is the emergence of the Time Army.That is also Orwell's ultimate goal. However, the Time Army has not yet appeared.The "derived messengers" who came to this era all said that although human beings had developed correspondingly in their respective time branches, due to social, economic, military and other reasons, they have not yet created what can be called Mass messenger force of the Time Army. This fact suggests that those branches of time will eventually be completely destroyed as well.Moreover, the messengers have a major secret that has not been disclosed to humans. Starting from a few months ago, the support of the "Derived Messenger" has tended to decrease, and the year of their departure has gradually shifted to the future.The most recent arrival of a messenger is from 2680 AD, which is later than Orwell's "primordial messengers".This fact shows that humans on this branch of time had to wait until that late to make messengers. Interfering with human beings beyond the limit will cause the development of human beings to be delayed.Here's Cutty Sack's explanation. Why is it bad to exceed the limit, Orwell has been thinking.If you move a little slower, you will lose everything.Orwell has seen enough of the usual tragedies.In the face of the crisis of life and death, what are nations and countries?The most important thing is to survive—— Looking at the quarreling officers in front of him, Orwell couldn't help but feel that his thoughts were completely wrong.These ugly faces with distrust written all over them... Once the ET is wiped out, human beings immediately separate themselves from the enemy.The mutual hostility is as clear as watching a fire in the night. Leaving the quarreling officers behind, Orwell walked out of the headquarters.He stood at the end of the snow-covered runway and muttered to himself. "What should I do……" "Orwell, is it convenient now? I have something to tell you." "What's up?"' The laughing voice came from Alexander.The data from the communications satellite is tagged with locations in Singapore.As a staff officer of the Japanese army, Alexander was stationed at the front headquarters called Shonan. "I can't do anything if you urge me. The cargo ship carrying the Mel63 fighter jets has already set off, and the remaining French army is unwilling to evacuate from Algeria." Orwell said. "No, not that. What kind of animal would be a bear's servant?" "Bear?" Orwell frowned.Alexander seemed to be asking a question with a smile. "What do bears mean? Soviet troops?" "Hey, you're so irresponsible. It's you who told me to use the bear. The villain in my story." "Oh, it seems that I said..." In his own mind, that was a few years ago—almost a hundred and eighty years in the future on the calendar—Orwell remembered a brief conversation with him on the lunar surface.If it were an ordinary person, such trivial matters would have been forgotten long ago.However, as long as it is not a very painful experience, the messenger will always remember it.It's hard to say whether this is luck or misfortune. "Did you really write about bears?" "I wrote it, the bear is an animal like the guardian spirit of the forest. Why does it let the tree wither?" "Are you tired of guarding the forest every day?" "No, I'm not asking you why. I'm just explaining why I wrote about the bear. What do you think would be better for it to serve as its subordinate?" "Well, how about the crab?" Thinking of the Finnish food he ate in the morning, Orwell said something casually, and then he heard the sound of Alexander clapping his hands. "Crabs! It's wonderful! The crimson crustaceans wriggling in the depths of the forest have a selling point here. Yes, the crabs obeyed the bear's order, climbed up the branches one by one, and pinched off the leaves one by one... Well, it feels terrible No matter how hard Xiao Chong tries, it seems like he has no hope of winning." Orwell was silent.Alexander suddenly asked a more pointed question: "How is it, is it a headache?" "Well, the situation is extremely difficult." "Me too. I have no idea how to win." Orwell suddenly had an ominous premonition and asked, "Is there a new trend in ET?" "You knew already?" "I don't know anything... Your fairy tales always feel and reality... Come on, tell me, what happened?" "Well, that's right." An image from a communications satellite intersects Orwell's field of view.It was a black-and-white aerial photo marked with a grid.A small white dome appeared on the rocky and barren mountain.In scale, it is about five meters in diameter. Alexander said: "This is a photo taken by the Type 100 Command reconnaissance plane sent to the mountains of Southeast Asia."
