The man from Qi stayed alone in the room he took him to after breakfast. When they entered, West stood on his back, gazing at the picture window flush with the building wall. Turning around, he nodded to them, then motioned for them to come and stand beside him. Watching one of the most breathtakingly beautiful scenes he has ever seen. The cliff was just below them, and fell hundreds of feet. It was a blank steep rock wall. Climbing up to the sky on the left is the solid granite on the top of the mountain. They are just on the edge of the forest line. Below, the trees began: spruces, firs, and aspens, descending layer by layer on a series of rolling hills, which hide more than they reveal. In the distance is the farthest range, the towering mountains look small, but Li Huai knows that this is a rugged countryside. He has only climbed over them recently, so there is no question about how tall they are. And sturdiness.

Cumulus clouds can be seen in the distance, and there is thunderstorm outside the mountain.

"The majesty of the Purple Mountain above your green..."

The words of the song came out in Kurt's mind. Below him is America. There is still left. The thought of this made his throat hurt, and he felt the muscles pull and knot in his stomach. He once loved this land.

The United States advocates freedom. Her sons fought for this, on the battlefields in every corner of the earth, from sunbathing equatorial Africa to the frozen bitter grasslands of Central Asia. When her son found the grave and fought for freedom, what happened to them for freedom happened.

No one knows what happened, but it has disappeared. After an emergency occurs at the international scene, it may be lost due to an emergency, while a compliance incident at the national scene may be blackmailed in red. In the United States, the time has come to go to foreign countries, when all non-coercive actions were banned.

Then freedom is dead.

"Colonel, do you feel that bad?" West said softly. The man's face is serious, and every ridge above seems to be carved out of another, harder granite.

Li Huai said: "This is really shameful." "I love this land. That is my country. When I talk about it, I don't feel I must apologize for my tongue."

West said: "The colonel does not have to apologize for loving his land." His voice was still soft. "You are not alone."

"Not alone?" Li Hao said. "It sounds strange to you."

"We also like this land, the colonel, and the principles it represents. That's why we are here." West's voice became softer, but the gravity on his face seemed to increase.

Li Huai said: "That's a good thing." "But if I learn one thing, it is that talking is cheap. You are a criminal hiding here, but you are talking about loving the land you have not served." He felt uneasy in his voice when he spoke.

"Speak boldly, Colonel." West applauded. What flashed in his eyes might be appreciation, might be the edge of hidden anger. "Especially because you have these-illegal-powers."

"Very brave," Nedra agreed. "And very stupid."

Li Bad replied: "You did not bring me to tell me that I am in your hands." "Don't comment on my bravery. It's not my stupidity either."

Nedra said: "I think he can read thoughts."

West replied: "I have no doubt." "If he doesn't have or hardly has this ability, he won't be here."

Li Huai replied: "I think you two are lunatics in turn." "I'm not doing a thought study."

West agreed: "Of course, unconsciously, Colonel." "You think your ideas are your own. Usually they are. But sometimes they are generated by other people. But before you tell me, I am not Call here to discuss your thinking skills or lack of it. I will show you one of the reasons I want you. Pick up my glasses and observe the ridge under the pine trees in the distance, tell me what you see there. "

"Horse," Li Bad said. "No, son. There are riders. Cuso's men go out to a rave party, looking for food, ammunition and women, if they can catch up to them."

"That's right, Colonel. In addition to them, they are also responsible for checking the damage caused by their bombs."

"I hope they can inspect this damage from close range," said angrily. "That area is very hot. If they only stay for an hour or so -" he intermittently, because he remembered that Nedra and West spent too much time in the same hotspot.

West said: "They won't be so stupid."

Li Huai said: "I know some people."

West suggested: "Perhaps at least the marginal areas are not as hot as you think."

"My counter said so." Li Bad replied.

"Maybe your counter is wrong. Now, Colonel, if you want to enter this room." West entered another room through an arch of a stone wall, putting the heavy curtain aside, so that Li could be in trouble. Della entered. An opaque screen was placed on the wall. There are several chairs in this room, including a large chair with seat control buttons. West closed the curtain above the arch they entered, and motioned to Li Huai to sit in a chair. The awkward man slid into the chair with the button on his arm. Nedra sat next to Lee Bad. She sat relaxed in the chair, seeming to forget creatures like Colonel Intelligence. West pressed a button. The light glided across the screen, bounced on the screen, and disappeared. The image begins to form. Sturdy, it adds details and becomes a city.

Or it was once a city.

Now the place is pitch black and the buildings are in ruins. The tower collapsed, the windows were broken, and the damage from the fire was visible. There are tall buildings everywhere, turning into streets that cross each other at crazy angles. The rubble in the dilapidated building remains where it fell.

"Washington, the thunder is loud!" Li Hao said. "This is their main goal. We stopped the bombers to cool them down, but in the end they were attacked by guided missiles. The city is still hot. You can see it on the screen. This is not a sign of life!" He was very excited when he relived the sudden crazy time of the Asian Federation. At this moment, in the face of the seemingly more important necessity of survival, he gave up the freedom that was hardly available in the United States.

"Yes," West said. "What do you see now?"

The ruins of Washington disappeared from the scene. As it faded, the broken dome of the Capitol was exploded. Its top was blown up, and it looked like a mysterious crater on the moon leading to space and ocean.

Another city appeared on the screen. Two rivers merged together to form a pile of broken buildings.

Lee Bad said: "I think it's Pittsburgh." "They are eager to hit us to reduce our industrial production potential. For the same reason, they got Gary, Indiana and South Chicago. Although we can do everything we can Efforts to stop it, but they finally achieved our goal. The main production center. If we did not expect this to happen, and did not spread our industry across the country and break it down into small parts, then in the war Before the outbreak, they would severely damage us, so that we did not last for a long time, but even if our production expanded, when they touched our raw materials, they also hurt us, which is very bad. A few years later, Our inventory is backlogged. Since then, we have been trying our best to find the metal. Find it."

"Yes, I know." West said.

Li Huai said: "Of course, while they hurt us, we did not fully help them." "We have already prepared several guided missiles on our own launch pad. We are not without defensive capabilities." When he spoke, proud and arrogant.

West said: "I agree with you there." "Do you want to see some of our results?"

"Hell, yes." blurted out in surprise. "Our camera boat has never gotten really good photos. For this it must be flying high. Oh, we have sent out many photos to show how we blow up the enemy’s hell, but these have been retouched To increase public morale. But-how does this radar work? Are you telling me that you can actually see what is happening inside the enemy's country?" A miracle of confusion quietly entered his voice. Behind this feeling is a strong interest. If he could use this radar to observe enemy countries, it would be a very important invention, although West did not seem to realize it.

In war, information is always as important as weapons, and sometimes even more important. Knowing the enemy's troops deployment, his strengths and weaknesses are usually more than half of the battle.

West did not answer. Another city swims to the location on the screen. Li Huai caught a glimpse of a minaret towering in the bare ruins and risked guessing the identity of the city.

"Moscow?"
