Dead?

Who's dead?

Hearing Cato's exclamation, Earlaen's nerves tensed up.

To be able to cause Gaztu to lose his composure like this was an extremely important matter, and even someone who was related to the entire situation had to die.

Who was it?

The first thing that came to Earlaen's mind was Dabinett.

The reason was also very good. A suicide due to fear of sin was enough to explain everything.

Is that Dabinett?

If it wasn't for Dabinett, who would it be?

He took out a cigar and lit it. Earlaen took a deep breath. The thick smoke was sucked into his lungs. Because of the intensity, Earlaen coughed. His injured body suddenly felt a sharp pain. But under the pain, Earlaen 's mind became clearer.

"I know."

Cato said with a cold expression before hanging up the phone.

Earlaen looked at Cato quietly and didn't ask.

"Elvin is dead."

Cato frowned and smelled the cigarette inside the car. He subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a deep breath and said, "Three hours ago, he was shot dead. One shot was fatal."

"Elvin?"

'"Didn't Hawenton and Scana send someone to protect him?" Earlaen 's eyes flickered and he said thoughtfully.

"This is impossible."

Gartu shook his head. "Elvin's revelations are strong enough, but he doesn't deserve to die in the future. Scana took out a squadron from the Marine Corps to protect Elvin. There were fifty of them. They were the real elites, but Elvin died under the heavy siege."

Earlaen stopped talking and took a big puff on his cigar. The inside of the car became extremely silent for a moment.

"Could it be Dabinett?"

After a long silence, Cato took the initiative to ask Earlaen, as if he was asking himself.

"Whether it's Dabinett or not, the outside world will think that this is Dabinett's revenge, right?"

Earlaen smiled and said indifferently.

Gaztu nodded silently. In this situation, Elvin's death was not important, but it could also be said to be extremely important. His death had made Dabinett the only suspected target, revenge for jumping off the wall?

Not to mention the ordinary people, there were probably quite a few high-ranking officials who would agree and firmly believe this.

Such a consequence could only make everyone hate Dabinett even more. After the despicable and shameless evaluation he had received, there was likely to be a harsh evaluation of his methods.

Salted fish flipped over?

For Dabinett, this was utterly impossible.

Not even Dabinett could stall.

With Elvin's death, the entire Dabinett Group would collapse as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the two big shots of the Howington Group were smart enough to get rid of Dabinett in advance. If they waited for Elvin's death to be announced a few hours in the evening, it might be useless for them to do so.

"Governor Yalatoo, we can fight for it."

Earlaen suddenly said.

Cato was stunned for a moment before he repeated, "Yalatoo?"

Yalatoo Don.

The Governor of Gao Tan State, a powerful figure of the Dabinett Group, was definitely in the top three in terms of actual prestige and power rankings within the Dabinett Group. However, Gazto did not expect his father to target Yaratu.

Because compared to Yalatu, they had another target that he thought was more suitable for them to rope in.

Admiral Glett Hisith, the secretary of naval operations.

Dabinett Group's three giants, Dabinett, Yalatoo, and Hisith.

In Catu's opinion, it was much more important to win over General Hisith than Yalatu.

The U.S. Navy is worthy of being number one in the world, and foreseeably, In the future full-scale war with the Divine Continent Empire, Admiral Hisith's naval operations department will have a much greater say, And Hisith is one of the Dabinett giants, To win him over, on the one hand, he took control of the Marine Operations Department, On the other hand, he could also take over a portion of the forces brought by the Sith, while helping to centralize Atlas' military power, and not to be overlooked, Secretary Hisith of the Naval Operations Department and the core members of the Atlas Group, Admiral Roderick Lackton, the commander of the Central Command, had a very good personal relationship. In high politics, private relations were difficult to play a decisive role. However, the Dabinett Group was now clearly in a state of great desperation. Minister Hisith, who was at the end of his road, had little room to refuse the olive branch extended by his old friend.

"Why not Secretary Hisith?"

Cato hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Hisith?"

Earlaen smiled. He shook his head and slowly said, "There's not much chance of winning the Hisith."

"First, he was too decisive, Dabinett was the first one to get out of his relationship with Dabinett, "From his standpoint, it takes more than courage to do so. He must have already found a way out. I know that you want to say that he has a good personal relationship with Lexton, but he hasn't contacted Lexton in the past few days. This fully shows that the path that Hisith has found is not ours. If we fight for it now, it would be a loss of the first chance. It would be too difficult."

"Within the Howington Group and the Dabinett Group, everyone has always had a question. Of the two groups, Howington and Dabinett are undoubtedly leaders, but what happens after them? At Dabinett, who are the second-in-command, Yalatoo or Hisith? Who are Scana and Teglas at Hoventon Group? That's what we've been talking about, As war broke out, the military has a greater say, Scana and Hisith are now undoubtedly better than Teglas and Yalatoo, Now that Hisith is in charge of the Naval Operations Department and fighting for him, he will first have to face Yurisses and even the Howington Group. Of course, he doesn't rule out the possibility of his own portal. Let's not talk about how difficult it will be to win him over. Even if we win, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of price. This is not a good thing for us. "

Facing his son, Earlaen knew everything, Just say what you think, He didn't conceal anything at all. "And compared to Hisith, Governor Yalatoo hesitated a lot, Hours after Hisith and Dabinett broke up, Yalatoo made his stance clear. This meant that he had no way out, His statement, It was more like being forced by Hisith's statement, Drawing Yalatoo in, We can also accept a portion of the Dabinett faction, Expanding our influence in politics, "More importantly, the attention he is receiving right now is less than Hisith's, and the position of governor of Gao Tan State has caused too many people to covet him. Whether it is Yurisses or Hawenton, they may not be willing to accept Yalatoo even if they want Gao Tan State, but we are different. As long as Yalatoo is willing, we are willing to accept all of it."

Cato remained silent. In fact, they could not have taken the initiative to attack, Anyone could tell, after all, Although the Dabinett Group was on the verge of collapse, but it can always be delayed for a period of time, During this period of time, while the important figures of the Dabinett Group were watching the wind, As long as the Atlas Group can display its strength on different occasions, I'm afraid we won't have to wait for them to speak, VIPs from the Dabinett conglomerate would come to their aid, One was to take the initiative to rope him in, One is passive acceptance, The things they had paid for were completely different, but with Elvin's death, everything became completely different. Elvin's death and Dabinett's destruction would only be faster and faster. Atlas's originally ample time had become extremely tight. At this time, they could only take the initiative to fight for some of the core figures of the Dabinett Group.

"Even if we can't win over Hisith, we can still win over Daniel, right? Or can we win over Daniel and Yalatoo at the same time?"

Cato said unwillingly, It's not that he doesn't like Gao Tan Governor Yalatoo, In fact, as one of the most economically developed states in the United States, Gao Tan Prefecture, Even if his status was slightly inferior to that of the Golden Province, It was also limited, The president of Federation City once said that Gao Tan was the base of the empire, In such a state, As you can imagine, If we can get Yalatoo, It was also a great addition to Atlas's strength, But now, with the outbreak of war, All of Gaztu's attention was focused on military strength. Admiral Daniel was also one of the core leaders of the Dabinett Group and a member of the War Command. The commander of the U.S. Material and Equipment Command was no weaker than Hisith in allowing Daniel to join his camp at a time when war was about to break out.

"Daniel?"

Earlaen smiled playfully. Before he could speak, Cato had already received an email.

He opened the email and looked at it, then smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, I understand."

Fifteen minutes ago, Admiral Daniel Chin, commander of the U.S. Material and Equipment Command, personally issued a statement, In that almost incoherent statement, It was full of the most venomous curses and curses against Dabinett, Admiral Daniel did not fully understand Dabinett's killing of Elvin. He angrily scolded him as a mad dog and bastard who had completely lost his mind. Admiral Daniel also said that he knew Dabinett was a disgrace to his life. Such a person actually stole the high position of the United States, which was a blasphemy to the Constitution.

Anger!

Extreme anger.

No one was sure if Dabinett had lost his mind, but in this statement, Cato was sure that Elvin's death had made Daniel lose his mind.

"Elvin knew Daniel well, The two of them were confidants who talked to each other. It was no exaggeration to say that Elvin had contributed the most to Daniel's current situation. In the Dabinett Group, Daniel's faction was completely obedient to Elvin. They didn't even care about Dabinett. Now that Elvin had been killed, there was basically no need for Daniel to doubt his position.

Earlaen shook his head and looked at the helpless Cato. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Besides, my son, I suggest you take your gaze back from the military. Do you really think that Yurisses would be willing to let me take over the military power of the United States by appointing me as the Marshal of the United States?" That's impossible. Look at our current strength in the military. The Central Command, the Air Force System, the CIA, the Special Services System, the Joint Army, and a series of other powers are all in our hands. This is the limit that we can accommodate at this stage, no matter how much? "Let's not talk about our digestion. I'm afraid Yurisses is going to feel uneasy. If Yurisses suspects us, the consequences will be very serious. Think about the battle at St. Mary's Hospital."

Cato's eyes turned cold.

If Yurisses hadn't been smart in the war at St. Mary's Hospital, many things wouldn't have been like this.

"We can't be anxious. Our strength in the military is temporarily saturated. Expanding into the political arena is the best choice. You will understand the benefits of controlling Gao Tan Prefecture in the future."

Earlaen patted Cato on the shoulder and said earnestly.
