Time Ghost

Chapter 28

 I said that wholeheartedly.

Why would two neighboring countries venture to murder each other down? By logical explanation, I found no appalling reason to amend such claim. It was all but luxurious spending on our end. Poised from avarice to obtain small chunks of territory, we have degraded human lives to smudge as a red stain on the brown shirt of our continent.

In considerations of historical connections, however, I can argue otherwise. Marcel Dubois has enormous trivial information to find in his memories that I can utilize. A politician requires these sorts of knowledge to entertain constituents, so consider myself lucky.

Naulus and Armea were established ages ago, way earlier than the United States independence of 1776 and foundation of The European Union in 1958. Naulus was created in 7 A.D. by King Radius, a leader of small tribes on the northeastern area of Durino. His tribesmen counts were growing extensive after their first disembark on the west coast. Eventually, their needs of security and permanent settlement estimates King Radius’ verdict for Naulus Kingdom to be assembled.

On the other hand, Armea was began in 21 A.D. as one of the colonies of Rome before its spreading out-influence on the entire world. Scientists have never been concluded a definite answer for its emergence in Durino peninsula. Sea waters around the continent are calm and quite harmless for wooden ships, so the close-to-reality hypothesis is settled in this theory at the most.

As for the second, conspiracies beckoned. I don’t really have to elucidate more on this. Those ‘experts’ think that the Romans had invented a teleportation device for transportation across the oceans. Yeah, sounds intriguing, until you’ve heard of UFO participation to their conquest abroad.

My thoughts of no-war sentiment arise by the tragic outcomes of Baron Schneider. I have no further contemplation over that subject anymore, it only has to be done.

The conference room goes silent after Marcel Dubois voiced his intention. Three Generals were gazing deep into the President of Naulus and ponders down within. Else, Jamie Krueger swallows in shame for it was the fault of his army at the moment, as the man in stripes was guilty across many land warfare operations of the battlefield that occurred.

For Holden Fischer and Neil Rudolph, their battalions have no association to current turmoil. The air force was scrambled in dire circumstances where land deployments could no longer viable to win the raging battles ahead. Cruisers and attack submarines, on the other hand, are unnecessary to mention about.

No river could contain underwater steel, after all.

“Do you mean it, Mr. President?” Holden Fischer argued. His eyes go fierce as green iris flashes towards the man in question,” We are currently having several territories from our latest conquest. Your ultimatum will drag those lands to our diplomacy, Mr. President.”

“My resolution is unquestionable. Unless if you can convince me to state better preferences than this.”

Neil Rudolph seemed uncomfortable with their leader’s assumption. He swivels on the chair in several rounds before being stalled by his own feet down under, before the man decided to end his distress by putting an arm upwards.

Then slammed it down to the table in an instant.

“What’s with you, General Rudolph? I am telling this because of my concern!” The President rattled at the man’s sudden motions,” Tell us, speak, and don’t be a child by wreaking havoc in this room!”

Jamie Krueger added,” I know your feelings, Rudolph, but our President has weights to relieve. We have been shooting blanks for three years consecutively.” He said. Assurance instilled into his speech, but the man eventually shrinks back to the chair and seats himself in humiliation afterwards.

Sparks of wrath goes numb within the mind of the air force leader, from which stumbles under his own thoughts regardless. Jamie Krueger supported Marcel Dubois truthfully. He stares against the opposing factions with absolute determination embedded to his words.

Holden Fischer, on the other way around, was seemingly have no surprise towards the army leader’s method of engagement. He smirks ahead of the army leader afterwards,” You’re still counted as accountable person for this failure, Jamie Krueger. Your status as a commander will be revoked irrespective to how much you have tried to consult our President about this situation.” He said.

But, the army leader has no ill-feelings in contradiction to his demand. He puts both hands to form triangle as the elbow lands on the table,” I don’t mind, as long as my soldiers are safe.” He muttered, then suddenly yelled out of his lungs,” Have you consider how much our soldiers have lost in this mindless warfare? We’ve been years in the borderline for nothing but three cities!”

I’ve started mind games, now. Two heads on a parley. Whoever wins assume highest ranks of the military and lead our force to whatever madness that person would bring.

I think this is the right decision to make. Somehow, I sensed fear within Marcel Dubois’ emotion. And it is gone to dust after my brave assessment for an end to this peril. It might be excruciating for the President to be seen as numb and heartless. Thus, this sensation arises.

“Well, how about you, Neil? Any thoughts?” The President asked towards the air force leader respectively. His eyes promote curiosity, when knuckles confined to settle fury in his mind,” I’d say that you have opinions to make, how about telling us now?”

Neil Rudolph sighed afterwards, “I’m agree with you, Mr. President. You have to consult this to the house of representatives firsthand.”

Then, another thunder strike occurs.
