When the door was closed, and no one could hear what they were saying, no one expected that those were the words that came out from Virginia Balance.
"...has he slept with you, Colonel?" Maya asked strangely.
Virginia Balance.
Was her purpose to meet her to stop her wedding with Isao?
If so, then Maya had to say Isao was really amazing since he could even go to the USNA to pick up a woman.
When she saw the woman before her, she also understood why Isao came to sleep with Virginia.
Charming, beautiful, yet valiant.
Moreover, with Virginia's identity as the Colonel of First Deputy Director, Intelligence Division Internal Affairs, the USNA, Maya also understood why Isao was tempted, but then again, she had never thought that the colonel she was close with would be Isao's woman.
'The world is sure a small place...' she thought.
"Ha?"
Only Virginia was confused.
What the fuck did you talk about?
This expression was clearly shown on her face.
"Oh, you didn't sleep with him?"
"...what do you mean?" Virginia appeared to be dissatisfied and said, "I am here to remind you about the danger that will come to this place tomorrow."
"What do you mean?"
It seemed that Maya had a misunderstanding, or rather, whether it was she, Miya, Miyuki, or Saeki, she also had a misunderstanding about why Virginia came to this place. They thought that Virginia was Isao's lover from the USNA, but it seemed... that wasn't the case.
"Tomorrow, the USNA and the Great Asian Union will support the New Soviet Union on their attack on Sapporo."
Virginia's expression was that of a solemn one. "In other words, they will make their attack during your wedding, so you should stop your wedding if you don't want to be in danger."
"?!"
While Miyuki was so surprised that she even covered her mouth in disbelief, Maya, Miya, and Saeki looked at Virginia in doubt. After all, they didn't expect Virginia to betray her motherland.
Maya knew that her relationship with Virginia was quite good, but was it enough for Virginia to throw everything away?
Definitely not!
"Why did you tell me this?"
No one doubted Virginia's words since if she didn't say anything, all of them would remain oblivious and then be killed by the New Soviet Union.
"They wanted to use me as a sacrifice for the success of this attack."
Virginia's expression was that of resentment, showing her great hatred toward Edward Clark and others who had decided to use her.
Yes, she loved her country, but were those parasites able to represent their country?
Her country shouldn't be led by those termites!
However, she knew that her struggle was meaningless, especially when she was nothing but a colonel, so while she knew that she had betrayed her country, she decided to expose everything to Maya since she didn't want to die.
Who wants to die, right?
Nevertheless, to escape from this danger was simple as they only needed to stop this wedding and then return to the mainland or just go to the center area of Hokkaido.
After all, while the military power of modern weapons was powerful, it still had a limited range.
However, there was no doubt that if the New Soviet Union made its attack, one person would definitely come.
"Is that going to come too?"
"...probably." Virginia shook her head softly and said, "I don't know the details of their plan, and my role is nothing but just a sacrifice to send a coordinate of your wedding venue."
"I see..."
All of them understood why Virginia decided to betray the USNA, but then, they also had to admit the USNA was so ruthless in a conspiracy to kill all of them during Maya's wedding.
However, they also understood why the USNA did this, especially when they had just overtaken the Echelon III (an information interception network developed by the USNA — that can gather information from all over the world), the Low Orbit Psion Signature Tracker (a technology where the unique psion wave pattern of a magician is analysis and recorded, later by using that psion signature, location of that respective magician is tracked by low-orbit satellite).
Those two trump cards had been taken down by Isao, and probably, in the future, he would take many others, trying to dominate this country.
Or, probably, he just wanted to make a move on the USNA, and he needed a reason for that.
Regardless of whether it was Maya, Miya, or Saeki, they knew that if there wasn't any Isao, they would quickly run away, reminding everyone about the danger that might come, but Isao was here, and they knew that they would be okay.
"Okay, stay here. As long as you stay in this country, you will be okay."
"Thank you."
Virginia sighed in relief and didn't feel much guilt, even if she had betrayed her country since her country had betrayed her first.
Oh, it wasn't the country that betrayed her, but those termites!
So, this was her revenge, and by then, she knew that the position of Edward, the president, and others would crumble, and she would be happy to see them fall into deep despair.
Yet, unexpectedly, what Virginia didn't know the moment she entered the Sapporo was that her life was as good as gone since Edward and others had never believed in the sacrifice. Instead, as long as she entered the range, there was no escape for her, but it didn't matter since, by then, everyone in the USNA would think of her as a hero instead of a traitor.
So, tonight, on the 24th of December, Christmas Eve, when many people stay with their loved ones, enjoying their rare holiday, a submarine quietly moved inside the Sea of Japan before stopping when it reached its destination.
Kthozov.
The New Soviet Union's latest state-of-the-art missile submarine can fire missiles in the deep depths of the ocean but can also be used in lower depths for increased missile accuracy at the cost of concealment.
Moreover, due to its propeller being a non-electromagnetic water jet to avoid magnet detection, which is contrary to mainstream modern military fleets using electromagnetic propulsion engines, it was able to reach its destination without much trouble.
At that moment, the entire crew of the Kthozov watched the large screen before them and saw the exact coordinates for their attack.
At the same time, all the crews of the Birobidzhan Missile Base also saw a similar signal, and a man, who sat on the throne-like CAD, looked at the monitor before him playfully.
"The target is clear!"
"Fire!"
As the command fell, Birobidzhan Missile Base and Kthozov launched ultrasonic missiles at the same time!
Tonight, on the beautiful night of Sapporo, everything was so bright.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!! BOOOOOOOMMMMM!! BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!
