Ye Lu Qin felt a surge of excitement as the plane touched down. This moment had finally arrived.
He walked down the gangway, met by rows of soldiers flanking the runway, their faces impassive as they watched him.
Ye Lu Qin took a deep breath, feeling a strange sensation, but he was still satisfied with their strong spirit.
The tank formations in the distance were also arranged in a formidable manner, as if for a parade.
His assistant accompanied him to the dedicated vehicle and said, "Mr. President, Kilko says everything is in place, just waiting for you to give your speech at the Su Xiong Union Assembly Building."
Ye Lu Qin nodded with composure, his whole body held high as if filled with a sense of grandeur.
The luxurious motorcade departed first, while Ye Lu Qin's car, disguised as an ordinary vehicle, headed towards the Su Xiong Union Assembly Building in Moscow alone.
"This time it will be a success!"
He rehearsed his speech in his mind, imagining himself revealing Konev's conspiracy on the radio with fiery passion, urging the people to rebel.
Excitement and nervousness intertwined, he felt like he was about to become a hero of the Su Xiong Union.
As he entered the grand hall of the building, Ye Lu Qin's gaze swept across the surroundings, noticing portraits of heroes hanging on the walls.
Every step he took seemed to tell him that everyone around him was merely there to highlight his greatness.
A slight smile played on his lips as he envisioned the cheers of the crowd.
Under the watchful eyes of the Red Alert soldiers, he continued to walk towards the broadcasting room, the one that would propel him to the pinnacle of his life.
"Mr. President, Kilko is already at the top floor broadcasting room."
A soldier stepped forward, his expression serious, his attitude respectful.
Ye Lu Qin nodded, feeling a sense of trust towards everything he saw.
"Take me to the broadcasting room."
He spoke with determination, looking back at the soldier, waving his hand forcefully.
"Yes, sir." The soldier gestured with his hand and immediately led him forward.
However, amidst all this excitement, Ye Lu Qin was oblivious to the fact that he had walked into a trap carefully designed by Konev.
The magnificent hall was eerily quiet.
Only their footsteps echoed through the hall, sounding particularly harsh.
The soldiers around him were like mannequins, devoid of any unnecessary movement.
"When did Kilko train such excellent soldiers?"
"The position of Minister of Defense is his for the taking."
A slight unease began to creep into his mind, but it was quickly dismissed by Kilko's confident assurances and the strong security measures he had experienced along the way.
Am I worrying too much?
Since getting off the plane, there must have been thousands of people here.
Konev only has one army, it's impossible for him to have his agents here.
He reassured himself and continued towards the broadcasting room.
He envisioned that moment on air, using his voice filled with anger to expose Konev's evil deeds, to tell the whole nation about Konev's betrayal.
With those stirring words, he would stir the people to take to the streets, carrying their anger and dissatisfaction, turning them into a tidal wave of protest.
Just thinking about it made his heart race and his whole body surge with excitement.
Reaching the door of the broadcasting room, Ye Lu Qin stopped, took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
He wanted to present his best self for this highlight moment of his life.
"Hundreds of millions of citizens are waiting for me,..."
He closed his eyes slightly, reviewing the speech he had meticulously prepared in his mind.
"Mr. President, please come in."
The soldier beside him opened the door respectfully and gestured for Ye Lu Qin to enter.
He suddenly felt a sense of unease, but hesitated to think any more about it.
He had no idea that the so-called "reinforcements" had been meticulously arranged by Konev.
And this broadcast was not the pinnacle of his life, but...
Bang!
The sound of a gun being cocked echoed deafeningly through the empty hall!
With a heart brimming with confidence, Ye Lu Qin stepped through the door of the conference room, his face turning pale instantly.
The sight before him sent a shiver down his spine, causing his heart to stop.
The room did not hold the Kilko he was expecting, nor the subordinates who would greet him with respect.
The ministers who had conspired with him before were now expressionless, staring at him.
Black muzzles of guns pointed at him.
Among them was a figure he recognized.
"Putin? What are you doing here!"
He stammered, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Putin was his most trusted subordinate, but now he was aiming a gun at him with cold, emotionless eyes.
"I've been waiting for you, Ye Lu Qin."
Putin's voice was cold and resolute, without any hesitation in his words.
"I never truly pledged allegiance to you. I have always been a member of the Su Xiong Union."
Ye Lu Qin's heart jolted, a mix of anger and shock flooding him.
"You're kidding, right? I promoted you myself, we've been through so much together?"
"Are you going to betray me?!"
The color drained from Ye Lu Qin's face, his voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He reached out to grab Putin's gun, but all he heard was the click of the safety being released.
"I was promoted for my outstanding performance. I fight for the Su Xiong Union, not as a pawn you can manipulate."
"You, you just want the Su Xiong Union to collapse!"
"Ye Lu Qin, I know everything about you, including all your financial dealings, it's over."
Putin's voice was merciless, piercing Ye Lu Qin's heart.
His betrayal struck Ye Lu Qin like a hammer, crushing the last vestiges of hope in his heart.
At that moment, Konev emerged from the shadows, his face devoid of expression, but the chilling coldness in his eyes sent shivers down Ye Lu Qin's spine.
Is this the same Konev who relied on his father to secure his position?
"Ye Lu Qin, the radio microphone is behind me, but your journey ends here."
"The Su Xiong Union will not collapse, the people's hard work will not be plundered by the West."
"As long as I'm alive, you will never succeed!"
"Everything you've done in the Ursa and Eagle, will be made public."
"You will be sculpted into a statue, kneeling before the monument of the Su Xiong Union!"
Ye Lu Qin's heart sank upon hearing those words, realizing his worst fears had come true.
If the evidence of his enjoyment and collusion with the West was released, the persona he had cultivated over a lifetime would crumble instantly.
His eyes blazed with anger, as if he wanted to tear Konev to shreds.
At this moment, the eyes of the Unionists around him felt like swords piercing his flesh.
In his desperation, Ye Lu Qin started to curse, "You traitor! You don't respect our comrades' democracy and freedom!"
"Your filthy betrayal will be written into history! You will be torn apart! You will be judged by the people of the whole world!"
"Judged by the whole world?"
Konev chuckled faintly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "The whole world you're referring to, are those Western nations, right?"
"They commit genocide, they poison, they plunder, their civilization is filled with barbarity and evil."
"In the face of the Su Xiong Union, they are nothing but filthy ants!"
"Judgment? I don't need anyone to judge me. I am the will of the Union's unity, I will lead the people to become the strongest alliance in the world!"
"And you, you maggots, you've caused the Union to decay, decline, and become fragmented."
"I'm sorry to inform you, your traitorous comrades have all become the foundation of the Su Xiong Union's renewed strength."
"You claim to be for the Union, but behind your backs you're actually discussing dissolution and development."
"You preach about shared goals, but in your plans, you use Eagle currency for pricing."
"You call for democracy and freedom, mimicking so-called advanced systems. Yet, how many people are displaced and starving?"
"I know, it's all part of your plan."
"To let the Union crumble, then you act as saviors, and collude with the Western media to fool our people!"
"But as long as I live, you are doomed to fail."
Konev's voice was cold, announcing an inescapable truth.
"You, and the damned West, prepare to face the wrath of the entire Su Xiong Union."
