The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 744 Confrontation

In the past month, both the United States and Russia have also secretly deployed their forces. Russia has frequently conducted military exercises in its western region, and American warships are also rushing to the vicinity of the Black Sea. On the Black Sea, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is already in full swing.

Everyone is waiting for the referendum in Crimea. No one knows where things will go. Will the Western world led by the United States allow the referendum in Crimea to proceed smoothly, and when the result of the referendum in Crimea is announced When it comes, whether the Western world will remain indifferent and wait for economic sanctions, or will directly start a war with Russia, no one can give a definite answer.

Although most people think that the result of the Crimea referendum will inevitably join the Russian Federation, this is decided by the Russians who account for more than half of the population in Crimea. To be harsh, even people of non-Russian ethnicity hope that after joining the Russian Federation, their lives can be better.

The result of the referendum in Crimea is no surprise, it will definitely join the Russian Federation, and this is not recognized by the United States and the Western world, so the next step depends on Russia's reaction, if Russia also does not recognize Crimea If the result of the Asian referendum is not met, then naturally nothing will happen next.

But this will have a great impact on Russia's international reputation. You know, Russia is a federation, and there are many younger brothers under him. If you give up this, who knows when you will give up on them, so Russia will definitely admit it The result of the Crimea referendum, the admission of Crimea.

Many people already believe that once this step is reached, the United States and Europe will inevitably conduct military mobilization, threaten economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation.

The endless military exercises are also inevitable. The Black Sea is so big. The US and European armies will conduct military exercises, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet will also conduct military exercises. If you are not careful, your gun will go off.

Once military exercises are involved, once the guns are misfired, and once a larger-scale conflict breaks out, then the war is not far away.

If some people with special thoughts are added to sow dissension at this time, it is very likely that the war will break out directly.

Ling Xiao received a call from Tony Stark from New York the next morning. The U.S. Department of Defense hoped that the Avengers could send appropriate personnel to monitor this military incident that was likely to trigger World War III. Confrontation, because they already knew the news of mutants' meddling.

According to information from outside the CIA, apart from Emma Foster who had gone to a military resort on the outskirts of Moscow, Russia, Sebastian Shaw had also personally rushed to the Russian Ministry of Defense near the Red Square in Russia. Defense ministers meet again.

It was after that meeting that the Russian side officially launched a large-scale military exercise. It was even reported that nuclear missiles were ready to move on some nuclear submarines of the Black Sea Fleet. The CIA was worried that it was precisely because of the intervention of these mutants that It will make the incident uncontrollable.

Regarding this matter, the X-Men also sent people to assist. In addition to the shock wave, siren and beast of the Mutant Academy, Wolverine Logan and Storm Ororo also rushed to London. Not only Sebastian Shaw, but also Magneto who has been hiding in secret.

For Magneto, killing Sebastian Shaw is the first priority, but if the number of mutants on the earth can be increased on a large scale at the same time, although a nuclear war may bring huge casualties to mankind , but how could he care?It's not the first time he has done this.

So when the manpower was ready, Ling Xiao immediately drove the butterfly plane to Ukraine, to Crimea, especially the front line of the US-Russia confrontation, the Black Sea.

At 8:2 am local time in Crimea, 6:[-] pm Beijing time, [-]:[-] am London time, and [-]:[-] am New York time, the referendum in Crimea officially begins.

About 21 observers from more than 50 countries have registered with the Election Commission and will attend the referendum. They come from the United States, Israel, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the referendum, Crimea has invested more than 15000 security personnel.

Official figures show that there are about 196 million people in the Crimea region, including children who are not of voting age.More than 152 million voters are eligible to participate in the referendum.

In addition to the military confrontation between the U.S. Navy Fleet and the Russian Black Sea Fleet on the Black Sea, the Isthmus of Pilicop, located in the northern part of the Crimea Peninsula, is the main traffic route connecting the main continent of Ukraine and the Crimea Peninsula. The Ukrainian government They set up checkpoints here separately from the Crimean authorities, and deployed a large number of military forces near the checkpoints.

On the side of the checkpoint set up by the Ukrainian government, army soldiers strictly checked vehicles coming from the direction of Crimea.There are several armored vehicles parked in the woods next to the checkpoint.In the wilderness in the distance, soldiers were resting in trenches, and several tanks were suspected to be hidden in the trenches.

On the side of the checkpoint set up by the Crimean authorities, the police, the "Golden Eagle" special forces and the Self-Defense Forces are in charge of guarding.Not only did they check the documents of every passing vehicle, but the officers on duty with live ammunition also entered the vehicle to search.In addition, there are armored vehicles parked on both sides of the checkpoint.

The atmosphere of war is becoming more and more intense, and no one knows when a shot will be fired suddenly, which will directly trigger the war.

Ling Xiao and the others don't care about the situation on land at all. Even if the Ukrainian side and the Crimea side shoot to trigger a large-scale conflict, so what? Sub-humans, no matter how many casualties they have, they will not determine the real direction of the situation.

The forces that can really affect the situation are at sea. The joint fleet of the US and European navies and the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Well, the Third World War broke out.

On this day on the Black Sea, everyone held their breath, and the heavy pressure made people breathless. Ling Xiao and his party did not land on the US and European fleets, but landed on the north of the center of the two fleets. on a rock.

The area of ​​the reef was not big enough, but Ling Xiao fell down first, and a thick layer of ice with a radius of 40 meters was built around the reef. Ling Xiao even erected a half-meter-high ice layer on the edge of the ice layer. wall, so that no one accidentally slips down.

Storm Ororo threw a blanket directly from the plane, and the blanket was spread directly on the ice. The next moment, several people had already fallen from the plane, and the plane was parked on the edge of the ice.

The referendum officially started at 8:8 a.m. local time and will end at [-]:[-] p.m. local time that day. The next thing is the tense voting statistics. As for the voting results, the fastest will only be announced the next day. It was expected.

Under the darkness of night, on the Black Sea, ten warships were moored quietly within a distance of no more than ten nautical miles, but on each warship, the lights were brightly lit, and the personnel were running back and forth without stopping. Countless radio waves Passing back and forth, no one knows what will happen in the next second.

Under the surface of the sea, several submarines have already started fighting openly and secretly, radar locking and anti-locking, lurking and anti-lurking, each time is thrilling.

Ling Xiao stood on the edge of the ice rock, looking at the fleets of the two sides confronting each other in the distance, his eyes showed seriousness, and at this time, Storm Lady Ororo came from behind and asked in a low voice: "Ling, Are you worried?"

"Well." Ling Xiao nodded lightly, and said: "Until now, except for our group, other lurking forces from all parties have not appeared. Especially Sebastian Xiao and his group, the Red Devils Gui has a very strong The teleportation ability, once he appears on a warship and launches missiles directly, the situation will be out of control. There is also a Magneto hidden in the dark."

"Don't worry about Eric." Ororo shook his head and said, "Based on what I know about Eric, he won't cooperate with **, maybe he's hiding in the dark now, ready to Give Sebastian Shaw a fatal blow."

"I hope so." The worry on Ling Xiao's face did not diminish in the slightest, and he said bitterly: "I hope I am overthinking."
