Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

"Come out, Doctor, you should have seen it all."

After seeing off Tallula, Kelsey turned and looked behind him.

“...... I just happened to be passing by and just heard you saying this, so I stopped. The

Doctor walked in through the door behind Kelsey with a kettle of hot water and a bag of instant coffee from Bolívar in his pocket.

Syllable.

Then he temporarily placed the kettle on a shelf next to Kelsey and said, "Kelsey,

you do this... Could it be..."

The Doctor's tone was a little doubtful, but he asked anyway.

"I know what you're considering, Doctor."

Kelsey's emerald green eyes looked at the Doctor.

"Are you wondering why we chose to help the integration movement because there have been several clashes with Rhode Island, and our operators have been killed or injured?"

"Are you worried that the integration movement will fight against the Usas Empire on the territory of Usas next, fighting for the mutants, and our brazen help in the integration movement will bring death to Rhode Island?"

The Doctor nodded and said, "

Yes."

Kelsey replied

, "Actually, we have no way back, and there is no better option,

Doctor."

"Although the Chernoberg incident caused Rhode Island to be temporarily away from the storm, the parliament and the army group garrison of the Usas Empire would not think so."

She looked at the Doctor and said to him:

"Now that the Usas Empire has become somewhat low and silent because of the Chernoberg incident, and the people of the country are worried, what would you do if it were you, Doctor?"

The Doctor immediately said, "

War."

"Starting a war, whether victorious or defeated, is enough to heat up the country again, allowing people to look somewhere instead of watching their hearts moldy."

Kelsey said to the Doctor

, "Yes,

we know this well with the Usas Empire."

"And the integration movement that we have strengthened our combat effectiveness is the object of the war launched by Usas."

The Doctor was silent for a moment and said, "

So that's the case, the integration movement we helped is actually a pawn you played?"

Kelsey couldn't see any mood swings, she just calmly said:

"They have the same purpose as us, if you used to use them, you would have treated them as real pawns, but now Rhode Island is different, the mob within the integration movement has been executed by patriots, and the rest are all fighters who really fight for mutants."

"It's just that their battle with the Usas Empire cannot be avoided, and I just optimize this process."

"If the Usas Empire urgently needs a war, the most likely target they are to launch is Casimir next door or the Great Yan of the East."

"No matter which side you fight, the war will escalate rapidly, and countless creatures on this land will be crushed to pieces by the whirlpool of suffering in the aftermath of the war."

Kelsey paused and continued:

"And at this time, the integration movement, which is beginning to become active again, will quickly enter the vision of Usas, and instead of going to war with a real country, war with the integration movement is undoubtedly the best option."

The Doctor said with some uncertainty

, "But if Usas is serious..."

Kelsey's emerald green eyes flashed with an unknown light, and said to the

Doctor, "Usas

will not be serious,

Doctor."

"Because of Rankopel's performance, there is now a terrible fog standing behind the integration movement, and just wanting to explore this fog clearly is enough for them not to dare to force the integration movement too much."

"Also, Doctor, now that you have amnesia and don't remember, let me tell you."

"In fact, there are factions in the eight armies under Usas, for example, the leader of the faction of the Third Army is the Grand Duke of Baikal, and each army group has the leader of the faction behind the scenes."

"And sending your own troops to the battlefield is equivalent to reducing your own forces, although I am in Rhode Island, but I think at this time in the palace of Usas, the mouthpieces of the generals of the army group have been quarreling so much that they almost pulled each other's tongues out face to face."

"And the evil demon rift in the North Plains and the aftermath of the rebellion have made most of the inner guards completely incompetent, and I gave the device to integrate the movement to detect the evil aura, not much, but it is enough to avoid them."

"I think you should be able to understand what that means, Doctor, what exactly Usas is going to do about the integration movement."

"They will fight a protracted war, both in politics and on the real battlefield," the Doctor said

.

"Usas will not be serious, they will only fight for the purpose of making their country no longer dead, and such battles will continue until the next clear goal of the Usas Empire."

"Politicians continue to fight in the palace, while the soldiers under their command also fish in troubled waters, and the two achieve a balance, no one will embarrass anyone, in the final analysis, war is just an extension of politics, to achieve political goals."

The Doctor thought for a moment and said to Kelsey again:

"In this way, this phenomenon will temporarily distract Usas, it will be difficult to start a real war, and countless creatures in this land will be able to breathe because of your actions."

Kelsey said:

"Yes, according to my analysis of the politicians of Usas over the long years, this move can delay them for a short period of time, and then we will make plans."

"Once the integration movement is active again, Usas will surely set out to explore the sources of support behind the integration movement, and our concealment is ridiculous and useless in terms of Usas's means."

"So I put the same size Rhode Island stamp directly around the logo of the integration movement, which is to show Usas the horse so that we can understand each other."

"And if they want to send someone to trouble Rhode Island, the integration movement will lose supplies and support, except for the elite troops of Patriots and Frost Star, most of the integration movement will soon become straw targets and vulnerable."

"At that time, no matter how much they wanted to act and not quickly defeat the integration movement, the emperor saw it in his eyes, and Fyodor would punish them, rather than bear the emperor's wrath, otherwise they would achieve their own goals safely."

"They'll find that balance on their own."

The Doctor nodded and said, "

Nice strategy, Kelsey."

When Kelsey heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What's wrong? Kelsey, did I say the wrong thing?

The Doctor thought for a moment if he had lost his words.

"No, Doctor."

Kelsey shook his head and looked at the doctor with a complicated expression:

"'Good strategy', you rarely say this to me, in the past, it was basically me and you."

The Doctor was silent for a moment and replied,

"... My past... Very...... Don't you want to mention it?

He felt a hint of resistance in Kelsey's words.

"Nothing, Doctor, Rhode Island is an ark sailing to tomorrow, we don't cling to the past for one person, we just look to the future."

"I don't want to hide any truth, I just can't tell you the answer you want, the Tower of Babel has collapsed, and we can't look for fragments of the past in the ruins."

"But sooner or later, you will be found by your lost memories, perhaps even longer, and until then, I, pRtS, and everyone in Rhode Island, will be waiting for you."

The Doctor was somewhat silent, perhaps not knowing how to answer.

"By the way, Doctor... If there is a question, you can also choose not to answer it for now.

Kelsey said to the Doctor at this time.

"You say, I'll try."

The doctor said.

"Have you ever had in your head... The name Horta Babelia?

Kelsey asked, her tone more serious than ever.

“...... I'm sorry, I... I can't even remember who I am.

The Doctor finally answered Kelsey like this.

"It's okay... We...... There's still time, we'll help you, Doctor..." Kelsey's

eyes suddenly relaxed a little, and at the same time he turned to the Doctor and extended his right hand.

"Kelsey... I..."

The Doctor hesitated, and he reached out, as if to hold Kelsey's hand.

Kelsey took the Doctor's hand in silence, and the Doctor felt that Kelsey's hand was warmer than expected.

"Memories are just fragments of the past, and until then, I, and you, Amia, and everyone in Rhode Island, will continue our journey."

Kelsey and the Doctor stood together, looking into the distance of Rhode Island.

There, a graceful remnant sun is waving goodbye lovingly on the horizon, while the faintly visible double moon arches guard its sides, and Rhode Island seems to be chasing them.

There is an end to the journey.

The earth has no end.

......

[For the next thirty-six hours, the Third and Fourth Armies lurking around Chernoberg quietly dissolved in the air, some buried in the ground, their wounds all from the same throwing weapon]

[The invisible murderer murdered the thugs only they knew, thereby warning all the conspirators present that the invisible blade was against their filthy mouthpiece].

[Of course, the warnings of the shield guards and patriots, as well as the team of Frost Star, are more straightforward - the executioners who persecuted the mutants will surely strew corpses and blood into rivers]

[Neither side of the joint investigation team of Dayan and Usas dared to enter the ruined city of Chernoberg, which seemed to become almost weird, before each other, they just provided some investigation reports

on adulteration to their superiors [The report notes that there is no evidence that either of the two countries was actually involved in the planning and execution of the catastrophe – the real conspirators seem to have been burned out of flames or hidden in the next unknowable shadow]

[Ultimately, the Chernoberg incident was defined as a major man-made disaster caused by mutants]

[These newspapers with sensitive information have just been printed, Dozens of Usas newspapers and printing houses were bloodied, and as for the murderer, the Empire claimed to have been a terrorist attack orchestrated by sociopaths

] [And finally, with a series of political conflicts, the mutant supplementary decrees and Chernoberg handling matters that were making a lot of noise among the major cities were also piled up in the dust of the abandoned proposals of the parliament] [The Chernoberg

incident was finally resolved in an eerie calm]
