The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Change (17)

The situation, unfortunately, went back to fit the hypothesis.

The first sign was the Russian officers at the National Defense University. Fluent in English as well as in Russian dialects, they introduced themselves as part of the Air Force.

Another sign was the content of the curriculum that was taken by Winter and Independent Division executives by the Ministry of Defense's guidance. Nominally, it is a reinforcement training for local officers, in fact, more than half of the lectures on air operations. Winter saw this shallow camouflage as a device to better draw citizens' attention. Otherwise, it's normal to hide from the Russians. Though surveillance followed, they went around calibrating without great constraints.

‘The secret side of the media, rather than the government announcement, would be better for the public to focus on. ’

Variants don't have the ability to watch TV channels anyway. You can adjust the timing of exposure by wearing an embargo. For example, after the trial of lieutenant general Sierra. Or even after the continental splitting operation has had a major breakthrough.

Kramer knows how to get the support of his citizens.

The last sign was a sudden medical exam. Examination of items such as arrhythmia, pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and erythmia. This test was performed on the whole alpha squad. His doctor explained that this was a routine procedure, but not in winter. Based on the data, the diseases designated as test items were related in some way to albinism.

I also noticed this sign.

“We're going to Zero Ground. ”

“ ……. ”

He, who positively interpreted the silence of winter, asked grimly.

“How long have you known? ”

“I just assumed it might be. ”

“…… Somehow, I thought something was wrong when I assigned us to the Special Forces. So this is how it's going to end. Refugees can spend as much as they want. ”

In his words, there was trembling anxiety and depression. But this is what happened to the car that was shaking mentally. Rather, I'm surprised it hasn't exploded yet.

“Did you hear that? Rumor has it our next stop could be Colorado. ”

In question of Jinsuk, winter nodded slowly.

“Must be the high-altitude adaptation training. You can practice falling there.... Kids' power stations were high ground, but it was a long time ago. ”

At the time of the Burning Valley operation, the Child Geothermal Power Plant, which was stationed by the Independents of Winter, was close to 2,000 meters above sea level. Nevertheless, there was no midfielder who complained of the symptoms of the podiatry because it was a plateau and had adapted to it for some time at a lower height.

Jinjin sighs as he recalls the time.

“It's going to be a much harder fight than that. ”

Winter agreed.

“Maybe coming out is a harder fight than going in. We need to go deeper inland, and we need to get on the transport when we get out. I can't leave the force behind at the same time, so the more troops I have until the end, the greater the risk. ”

And there is a good chance that there will be an Independent army in winter between the last of them. The value of a war hero is most expensive in such situations. He asks me what I was thinking.

“Can't a helicopter get in? ”

“I don't know. I don't know if I can reach it.... ”

The cloudy winter ends examined the information of the transport helicopters that could be used as the Four Warrior Terminals. The mapping application was then reopened to confirm the origin of the infection identified in The End Document.

Reports from the Department of Homeland Security of Termination, the full name of the epidemic and the identification of the initial spreading process, have now become readily available online.

Measuring is the distance from the nearest shore. Regular aircraft were at least close to sending a helicopter from the sea. Winter looks up.

“Wow. It's really close inside the maximum radius of the operation. I know it's hard to transport heavy equipment. ”

“It's not impossible to deploy a large force. ”

“A quick hit and drop is the key, but do you really think we can push that many troops in? ”

Given the reason why the 201 Independence Squad was originally designated as Special Forces, winter had to be negative to the expectations of authenticity.

Moreover, if the transport helicopter is to travel back and forth for a length of 1,100 kilometers, the fuel tank will need to be fitted with an additional ratchet. It means we can barely move our troops. Unless we develop a new species specialized in long-range flight and mass-produce it. Inputs are also suitable for dropping aircraft. The tender winter added a hopeful observation.

“That should help with the evacuation, though. Just get rid of all the other equipment and get yourself out. ”

After all, Kramer was motivated enough to leave the Russians with a burden.

‘Humans are so...... thoughtful. ’

Cramer has gained popularity for his slavish and masculine remarks, but his decisions and actions do not seem to be in vain.

If the 201 Independence Battalion suffered serious damage in this operation, what would be the aftermath? Of course, this will primarily help improve the treatment of refugees. But the bigger the sacrifice, the more afraid the refugees will be to avoid enlistment. In the long run, it is likely to exacerbate the refugee's position.

Winter reminded me of what I saw on the day of his inauguration. Democrats, whom Kramer then referred to as members of the administration as evidence of harmony, were making a bad face.

Now I know why. They were sacrificed sheep prepared for the future.

Former President McMillan warned us that the Refugee Leader Support Act was a rigorously prepared trap. Refugee leaders, like the US-funded leaders of the Middle East, are going to be corrupt in the near future. That corruption will be the mark of guilt that Kramer will mark the entire refugee population.

But when that day finally comes, who is responsible for the government?

For this reason, Kramer lured practitioners from the former administration involved in supporting refugees. It is also difficult for the parties to refuse. It is because Kramer has presented it as evidence of reconciliation. How narrow it would look to the citizens if they were not one or two and they were all out of favor. The Democratic party has narrowed its stakes on both sides of the Senate.

In the guesses of winter, all this was converging for one purpose.

The meditative winter opened its mouth again.

“As I said before, you don't have to take command until then. No, I'd rather you put it down. I wouldn't take a lower position than I am right now, even if I were on another base. ”

This silent word provoked him to anger.

“You want me to run like a coward? Or are you saying that I'm so mean? I can still fight! ”

Winter shakes its head slowly.

“Calm down and listen. You're not the only one. because I'm thinking maybe we should send out as many people as we can. We have the ability to do that. ”

“Then what will be the rest of them? What criteria should I choose to be fair on? ”

“For the future. If we split up, it won't be good for the allies, it won't be good for the refugees. Don't forget that our battalion is the most successful and famous unit of refugees. You said eggs don't come in one basket, right? ”

“ ……. ”

“Let's leave a precedent that even if you are a refugee, if you have a career, you can go to other units. ”

Conflicted Jinsuk asks again.

“Assumption, but how do you really fill a vacancy when you do? ”

“Do you think that's going to be a problem for my unit? ”

When winter broke, Jinsuk expressions that he had nothing to say. As a matter of fact, I still am. We supplemented the losses of the uprising locally. It was too inefficient to attract Fort Roberts' manpower in a hurry.

On the other hand, those who wished to enter under winter flooded the entire United States. However, as the Independent Army was also a sign of refugee policy, they accepted Eastern resources in a higher proportion. It was a far superior decision than winter.

Winter slapped him on the shoulder.

“I'm not forcing you, so take it seriously. ”

“… OK. ”

I shaded the face of Jinsuk. He said he didn't want to be a coward, but he was too scared to push himself. There's no way he doesn't want to run away. Now that winter has given us a reasonable excuse, the rest of the day's worries will never be lighter.

Rather, it was a bigger challenge to tell Yura the same thing. You can leave the rest of the officers to Jingu, but it would be better for Yura to explain themselves.

I heard Russian somewhere.

Turning around, a group of Russian officers were passing by along a promenade on the river, opposite a bench where winter and quartz were sitting. They notice how confusing the peaceful view of D.C. can be. He would be, too, unlike the country at stake. Without surveillance, there could be a fugitive on the loose.

Above the heads of Russian air force officers, the cherry blossom branches that had just begun to burst open a bouquet were shaken by the cool spring wind. Across the river, you can see the color of the springtime. In the next three or four days, at the very least a week, it will fully flourish. Cherry blossoms in D.C. peak in late March through mid-April.

It was the same landscape Anne wanted to show to winter last fall.

Winter, when Bondi was returning to Fort Roberts after Thanksgiving, felt that the humble breeze would be difficult to achieve in the near future. But somehow he's still in D.C. The path of cherry blossoms to walk with her was also expected for winter.

On the other hand, it was winter when Anne hoped that she would be happier. The decision that had been postponed has been impulsive in my heart. Winter, which had been immersed in complex thoughts, took place.

“I'll get up first. I have someone I need to see. ”

“Is that him? ”

“Him?”

“Was he an FBI Agent Gibson? I think you're serious about him. ”

Winter, which was frankly embarrassed by the words, soon smiled faintly.

“Well, now we know. We've met so many times. How long have you known? ”

“It's been a while. It's been a long time coming to my place. ”

Winter nods. It was the same on Thanksgiving, but it was more convenient to meet inside than outside each other, so it became natural.

The hesitant rhetoric makes it difficult to ask.

“Can I ask you a personal question? ”

“Go ahead.”

“Aren't you afraid? ”

“Scared... of what? ”

“I don't know when I'm going to die, but I'm going to make someone I love. Have you ever thought about what you couldn't do to him? ”

“Well……. ”

The old fashioned man is a fearful man. Winter answered briefly after choosing a word.

“It's too late. ”

“Too late?”

“Anne... I mean, Agent Gibson, he's already a dead man without me. And so am I. So it's useless to think about it now. ”

The look on his face became strange. Even though I asked, I felt uneasy after hearing the missing answer like this. How much more did winter say than anyone else.

“Other than that, I had bigger concerns, and now I'm just going to let go. I can't take it anymore. ”

“I can't take it anymore.... ”

“What do you mean? ”

After returning the question to the question, winter waving your hands indifferently.

“See you at the lodge. ”

Winter turned to the calm waterfront across the lawn.

Compressed situation computation, the beginning of the year when time acceleration was not used, did not differ significantly from the flow of the outside world. Of course, while winter falls asleep in this world, the acceleration occurs, so that difference occurs.

However, for an audience who breathed pleasantly into one harsh life, the last few months would have been a breathtaking and dull time. There was hardly anything to please them other than dating Anne and eating.

They all wanted to go to someone else's afterlife, but the number of viewers that decreased did not decrease any further. Those who would regard the aftermath of winter as part of their lives. It was an unexpected outcome, but it was also an anticipated buyer. If they leave, it will be either. Either they die, or winter dies in this world.

Will that only delay the decision indefinitely?

Surrendered to impulse, it is refreshing. Winter swallows a sigh and calls Anne.

“This is important, can you come out for a moment? Yeah, just a little bit. Where to meet……. ”

It was an FBI headquarters.

When you arrive first, stick your hand in your pocket and watch the river flow for about 30 minutes. Familiar breathing is fast approaching. Anne, who was sweating on her forehead, asked with half her worries.

“What's so important? ”

Winter kissed her long. And he smiled shyly and confessed.

“This one.”
