Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 226

226. Chapter 226, two minutes

President Pierre was very angry.

After learning that the alliance suddenly mobilized a large army, his first reaction was that the alliance was exerting extreme pressure.

It was normal for him to have such an idea.

He had already talked with the fighting nuns for several rounds and provided some help to those nuns. After that, he also had some friendly communications with the government of the Central and Northern Province of the alliance. He was even ready to send a secret negotiation team to Fuxing City in the near future to negotiate with the alliance government on the conditions for the polar industry to join the alliance and accept the alliance’s jurisdiction.

At this time, the alliance suddenly used military means. What does it mean?

Although there has been no direct conflict, and it may not even enter the territory of the North. But even if there are tens of thousands of troops on the border between the Central and Northern Provinces and the North, it is also a silent declaration.

The alliance played such a hand on the eve of the negotiations, and it must be suppressing and lowering the conditions for the subsequent polar industry to join the alliance.

He had indeed prepared a lot of conditions. After all, they were not defeated and surrendered. They had a rare large-scale industrial production capacity on the Angry Owl Star, which could effectively maintain the rule over the vast northern region. The more than two million people living there could be affected by the Polar Industry to varying degrees.

In this case, they were indeed qualified to negotiate some conditions.

For example, would the people who made the decision to “join” the alliance, that is, the management of the Polar Industry Group, be able to receive better treatment?

Would the Polar Industry have a certain degree of autonomy in the north?

Would the Polar Industry receive technical support from the Alliance?

Would the Alliance open its market to the Polar Industry?

There were actually many things to discuss about such issues.

In fact, the Polar Industry had not yet sent a formal negotiation team to the south to meet with the Governor because they had not yet discussed these issues internally. It

was true that Pierre was the president of the group, but he was not the only one who had the final say in the entire group. The factions and interests within such a large group were very complicated.

And now that the Alliance had sent troops, was it equivalent to saying:

“Don’t negotiate with me. There are no conditions to negotiate.”

So arrogant?

But what else can he do?

It seems that he has none.

He can issue some threats, refuse to merge, and use the North as capital to resist the military actions of the Alliance.

But he himself knows that such threats are powerless.

A fundamental factor cannot be reversed without this law: they cannot beat the Alliance’s army.

This is the most desperate and entangled fact.

Just as he had a gloomy face and pulled his beard, the door of his office opened.

A tall lady wearing white and green power armor walked in.

She held her helmet under her armpit and greeted President Pierre with a smile: “Hello, Mr. President.”

“Sister Grit.” Pierre didn’t care about being polite anymore. He said gloomily: “Your Alliance is too rude. Our negotiations are progressing in an orderly manner. In the past, I have also gained a lot of convenience for your actions, and we are gradually drawing a line with those cultists. Everything is moving in a good direction. Why would the Alliance’s army march north in large numbers?”

“I need an explanation!”

Grit was not from the Alliance, but she did not try to correct Pierre’s statement.

She said, “What you said is correct, but things have changed. My sisters and I will leave this planet soon. We promised Governor Gu that we would solve all the problems in the Polar Industrial City before we leave.”

Grit did not hide anything and explained the reason. Then, she earnestly advised, “So, before tomorrow, the Polar Industrial City must fly the flag of the alliance. You can discuss the conditions for joining later.”

Pierre almost laughed out of anger.

He stood up suddenly and said, “Wait until the Alliance occupies the Polar Industrial City before we talk? How dare you say that! When that time comes, what else can we talk about? The entire group has become meat on the Alliance’s chopping board!”

Grit sighed and said, “I’m sorry to say this, but I have to tell you that this is the ultimatum.”

“Don’t even think about it!” Pierre said, “Then let the Alliance try! We won’t be cowardly when others bully us! We will arm all three million people in the North! We will fully support the activities of the Original Wrathful Owl Sect! Maybe even so, the Alliance will eventually win, but they will bleed and pay a terrible price; and what they will eventually gain is only a scorched North!”

The words were quite tough.

Regardless of whether this was what he really meant, whether it really came to that point, and whether they, the Polar Industry, had the determination to do what he said, but at least he had to show this momentum now, otherwise he would really be easily bullied.

But Grit didn’t buy it.

“President Pierre, is this your official reply?”

She looked at the group president seriously.

Pierre was stunned for a moment, his heart pounding, feeling something was wrong.

But it had come to this point, and he couldn’t swallow back his tough words for a second.

He could only continue to stiffen his neck and said to Grit: “Yes! If the alliance insists on taking military action, then this is my final answer on behalf of the entire Polar Group!”

Grit’s face did not change at all, she just said: “You still have two minutes to change your mind.”

“You don’t need the so-called two minutes, this is my final answer.”

“It’s your freedom, but I suggest you think about it carefully in these two minutes.”

“Enough! Send you out!”

He gave an order, and the door of the office opened again.

A whole team of guards in gray-blue uniforms and armed with deadly weapons walked in.

The leader made a gesture of invitation to Grit.

Grit sighed again.

“It seems that the best situation is not available…”

She sighed more like she was talking to herself.

“What?…”

Pierre, who had already turned his back, turned back again.

He saw the battle sister put on the helmet with ease.

For a moment, a very bad feeling occupied his mind.

“Wait…” He wanted to say something else, but the head nun, who had made up her mind, did not give him a chance.

Grit took action.

She knocked down the guard who made a “please” gesture to her with one punch, and when others raised their weapons to fire at her, she took a step with her long legs and quickly lowered her body. Not only did she dodge a round of bullets, but

she also knocked down several with her sweeping kick. Then, she casually snatched the gun from the fallen soldier.

The guy subconsciously held on to the gun and refused to let go, but the head nun pulled him up with the gun; another punch in the face made him faint instantly, so it didn’t matter whether he let go or not.

At this time, a bullet had already hit the head nun. But the protective ability of the nun’s power armor was not something that could be easily threatened by these firearms made by Polar Industries. On the contrary, the head nun took the weapon and counterattacked, accurately distributing every bullet evenly to the guards who attacked her, without any waste.

In this case, the fighting distance was no more than ten meters, and with her ability, she could certainly hit wherever she pointed.

After eliminating these guards, the head nun quickly stepped forward, closed the door of Pierre’s CEO office, and locked it from the inside.

Of course, this didn’t have much effect, because the people outside had the key.

But Grit herself didn’t want to stay here for a long time.

The head nun closed the door and turned around, not seeing Pierre.

She took a few steps and pulled the president out from under the desk.

Just now, after the head nun took action, he hid himself – mainly because he was afraid of stray bullets and taking his life for no reason.

At this moment, although his body was still struggling, the president of the group still tried to stay calm and tough at this time.

“Even if you take action, even if you kill me here, it will not change the overall will of the group… We won’t… We won’t completely surrender because of v*olence. Your choice is completely wrong!”

“I know, but I didn’t expect that hijacking you would completely change the situation.”

“Then you…”

“Shh… Be quiet, I just want you to wait for two minutes.”

Two minutes?

Earlier, the head nun also emphasized to him that he only had two minutes to change his mind.

At first, he thought it was just a short deadline to put further pressure on him when issuing an ultimatum.

But now it seems… this so-called two minutes is really a bit of a story?

What will happen?

For two minutes, he could only sit there peacefully.

During this time, he heard some noise outside the door, and a guard tried to break in through the door, but failed. The door of his CEO’s office was still very solid. Then, there were faint voices outside, probably looking for the spare key.

Two minutes is very short, just enough for these things to happen.

Then, he saw Grit open the window of the CEO’s office.

He subconsciously leaned over to look, and then he heard a series of explosions rumbling from all over the Polar Industrial City.

The closest one was probably less than two kilometers away from where he was.

After the explosion, there was the sound of gunfire.

It seemed that the entire Polar Industrial City was boiling!

Pierre’s brain was in a state of downtime for a while.

After a while, he turned his head with difficulty and looked at Grit.

“You… sent people to lurk in the Polar Industrial City? How many people lurked in?”

He didn’t expect Grit to answer, he just asked out of shock.

But Grit really answered: “Two thousand people, the 31st Airborne Division of the Alliance is responsible for this operation, there are two thousand soldiers, following your group’s suppliers, and entering the Polar Industrial City with the transport team.”

Pierre seemed quite shocked: “But… so many people… damn! Did all those settlements outside betray us?”

Grit said seriously: “Not all… just a dozen, in the past two days, when their freight was delivered, there were soldiers and weapons of the Alliance hidden in it. Of course, to do this, we also need some help from some people in your group, otherwise it is not easy to do. But fortunately, our work in the city in the past few months has not been ineffective.”

“…”

Pierre didn’t know what to say.

It turns out that not only those settlements outside that act as suppliers are insiders, but there are also insiders in the group, right?

And there are quite a few!

He calmed down and said, “But… Excuse me, two thousand people may seem like a lot, but they don’t have heavy weapons, nor the famous armor of the Alliance. It’s too confident to want to conquer the Polar Industrial City with just this amount of manpower.”

He was more polite than before.

But he didn’t expect that Grit nodded again, acknowledging his statement, and continued, “You’re right, so… we have some other preparations.”

“Huh?”

Pierre was about to ask what “some other preparations” meant.

But soon, he saw it with his own eyes.

When the roar reached him, it was not very loud, a bit like bees flying.

But what came was much more terrifying than bees!

From a distance, he saw a formation of hundreds of aircraft swooping down from the clouds in the sky not far away, and in just a blink of an eye, they arrived above the Polar Industrial City.

The Polar Industrial City has anti-aircraft firepower.

But obviously, the special operations of the Alliance have some kind of targeting. They have a certain understanding of the intelligence on the deployment of the anti-aircraft firepower of the Polar Industrial City. Many of the Alliance soldiers who had lurked in earlier launched their first wave of attacks near those air defense points.

In the case of a sudden attack, they probably had no chance to launch their air defense firepower again.

Of course, it was impossible for the lurking soldiers to completely control and clear all the air defense firepower points in the entire city.

After the Alliance Air Force arrived, some firepower points still roared into the sky.

But… the effect was very limited.

First, it was not dense enough and was very sparse; second, the caliber of the firepower was not good enough.

This kind of anti-aircraft machine gun has no problem shooting some thin-skinned aircraft, but it will be fatal if it is hit.

Attack the Wind Falcon?

The armor of the armored vehicle level is really not something that the air defense firepower with a small caliber can accurately damage.

On the contrary, as long as there is air defense firepower, the Wind Falcon in the sky will launch an airborne missile over.

Often, that can solve the problem.

Some Wind Falcons went to some open spaces and opened the hatch.

Then, the ropes were lowered, and dozens of soldiers climbed the ropes and began to descend rapidly.

Pierre was stunned.
