The time was fixed at 2:00 midnight on May 12, 116 in the new calendar, and the location was a wilderness outside the city of Empire X.
Seven black cars were driving at high speed on the wilderness road, two in front, two behind, and two on each side, guarding the black car in the middle together—the military high-power engine made a smooth sound, The body is entirely made of high-performance alloys, and the windshield can faintly see a spiral bulletproof pattern. There is no license plate or special military logo... It makes people wonder how such a convoy got out of that heavily guarded building. came out of the city gate.
An hour later, the convoy approached an inconspicuous earth-yellow building on the outskirts of the city. Four soldiers in camouflage uniforms stepped forward and signaled the people in the car to stop for inspection. The door of a car ahead opened, and a young man in a black suit got out of the car and handed over a crimson sign. The soldier checked for a while, then said in a deep voice, "I need to ask my superiors for instructions."
The man raised his eyebrows, with a hint of anger on his face, and said in a low voice, "This is signed by General Jin, who else do you need to ask for instructions?"
The soldier continued expressionlessly: "Major, the superior has just issued an order. Except for the head of state himself, all other people entering the restricted military area need the joint signatures of General Jin and Chief of Staff Zhang, otherwise they will not be released."
"you… "
"Li Yang."
A deep voice suddenly sounded from the car behind him. The black car drove forward slowly, and the driver rolled down the window, revealing a slightly tired old face inside. The soldier was startled, stood at attention abruptly, gave a military salute, and said, "General!"
Admiral Jin nodded faintly: "Can we go in now?"
The soldier hesitated, and said: "Report to the general, Chief of Staff Zhang has ordered that vehicles are not allowed in the military restricted area, and all people must walk."
Admiral Jin frowned slightly, patted his leg, and said, "I also need to walk?"
The soldier's complexion became more and more ugly, his eyes turned around on Admiral Jin's injured leg through the car window, and finally he said in a wooden voice: "I'm sorry, General, the superior ordered that no one is allowed to drive, and everyone must walk. !"
Li Yang's complexion changed, and he was furious.
Admiral Jin waved his hand lightly, turned his head and said to Li Yang: "Li Yang, go in by yourself, take my documents, and make sure to bring 〇〇5 out intact. 〇〇三’s loss, they are all the wealth of the empire.”
Li Yang was immediately moved. Facing the tired and gray-haired old man, he gave a respectful military salute and said firmly, "Don't worry, general, and resolutely complete the mission!"
However, at this moment, there was a loud explosion, and a dark mushroom cloud rose in the dark night above the dazzling flames. Li Yang stared wide-eyed, with veins popping out on his forehead, turned around and ran towards the military restricted area without saying a word.
This night, the citizens of City X were still sleeping peacefully, but in the Fourth Military Prison outside the city, there was a huge explosion that could shake the world. In the darkness, the eyes of all countries were secretly gathered in one place, waiting for the dawn in a few hours.
four hours ago.
In the trial hall of the Fourth National Military Prison, there were seven senior military officers in military uniforms with shining general stars on their epaulets, indicating that these people were all of the general rank. On the bench were five military judges. These five people were from major military regions and did not belong to the same military system. Below are more than 20 national first-class special forces armed with Colt Mod 733 5.56mm assault rifles, looking alert, as if they are facing an enemy.
The atmosphere in the entire trial court was solemn and solemn, and everyone's eyes were focused on the dock. The presiding judge in military uniform cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Name?"
"Chu Qiao."
A clear and calm voice responded in a low voice. Although the tone was a bit hoarse, one could tell the gender of the person just by hearing it.
Sure enough, I saw a delicate woman in light green military trousers, a white shirt with the cuffs rolled up, revealing half of her fair forearm sitting on the dock, with a calm expression and no signs of nervousness.
The presiding judge continued the boring process: "Gender?"
"female."
"Birth date?"
"October 8, 1990 in the new calendar."
"Native place?"
"Luo City, Yuntu State."
"Military history?"
"In 109 of the new calendar, he was admitted to the Imperial Capital Military Academy. In 1111, he was transferred to the Fifth Intelligence Division of the Imperial Capital Military Command Post to study, and in the second half of the same year, he entered the seventh unit of the Flying Eagle Group for training. August 2, 112 On the 17th, he formally joined the Fifth Intelligence Department and was incorporated into the second team, engaged in intelligence analysis and deployment. In December 113, he was transferred to the Intelligence Section of City Y, and cooperated with MI9 to implement the hl plan. The next year In June, he left the country to lurk. In January 114, he returned to China and entered eleven command posts, where he served as the deputy commander until now.”
"During your tenure, what actions were carried out?"
"A total of ninety-seven large and small affairs were carried out in the eleven offices, and a total of twenty-nine were handled by me, including eleven one-star, nine two-star, five three-star, four four-star, five No stars."
"Please truthfully report the four-star missions you have performed."
"In August 114 of the new calendar, MI7 provided information and MI9 took action. Colonel Li and I jointly planned the 'Sea Salt Project' and successfully obtained three tons of uranium ore. In November of the same year, October The first one cooperated with the six overseas divisions to implement the trapping strategy, captured the traitorous general known as Mika half-rat, and blew up the nuclear reactor of country f. In April 115, the plan was to instigate the supernatural beings of country e and regain the central government The bank’s vulnerability code. In June of the same year, with the help of Country X, the Ximo operation, planned by the Eleventh Division, assisted by supernatural beings, and led by Agent 003 of the Ninth Division, successfully obtained the production drawings of hk-47. "
The presiding judge pushed his glasses, and while comparing the documents, he said in a deep voice, "Please explain in detail the relationship between you and MI9 agent 003."
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words, and her face that had not changed for a long time was a little cold. Her eyes swept over the seven jury officers one by one, and finally said in a deep voice: "During the training of the Seventh Army, I worked with Agent 003 and Agent 003. 007 and Major Huang Minrui, the staff officer of the 11th Branch, lived in the same dormitory. In 115, they cooperated with 003 to execute the Simo operation."
The presiding judge said in a deep voice: "How is your relationship? Are you comrades-in-arms, colleagues, or casual acquaintances who nod?"
The woman looked calm and raised her eyebrows slightly. After a long time, she said in a deep voice, "We are friends."
There was a slight uproar among the jury, and the woman looked at the two of them, her eyes sharply caught a glimpse of the smiles on their mouths that hadn't had time to disperse.
"In other words, you have a close relationship with 003, and you are close friends who talk about everything, right?" A female judge about forty years old in a dark green military uniform asked in a deep voice.
Chu Qiao turned her head, her eyes turned around on the female judge's seemingly friendly face, and finally said in a deep voice: "Judge, 003 and I are high-quality soldiers who have received special training from the state, and we understand very well what to say. Say, you can’t say anything, so, regarding the four words in your interrogation statement, I think it is a contempt for our professional quality and the greatest disrespect for the martyrs who have sacrificed heroically for the interests of the country.”
The female judge turned pale, pursed her lips, and stopped speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
The presiding judge continued: "Chu Qiao, now, please make a brief statement and defense regarding the operation m1n1."
At this point, the main point and key point of the question was finally reached. The two jury chiefs in their fifties leaned forward slightly after hearing the words, with very focused expressions.
Chu Qiao lowered her head, raised her neck after a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I want to see my superiors, or accept a public trial by the Supreme Military Court. Before that, I will not do anything about the m1n1 operation. statement."
The presiding judge frowned when he heard the words, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, and he said slowly: "Are you questioning the authority of the military court jointly dispatched by the five military regions and formed by the highest legal experts?"
"I'm not." Chu Qiao raised her head and repeated, "I just asked to see my superior. Please forgive me for not revealing the information and content of the m1n1 operation before Admiral Jin signed the declassified document with his own hand."
The presiding judge frowned, and continued: "Then, please give your own defense and explanation for the incident of ordering the bombing of the General Affairs Building, which resulted in the deaths of 23 hostages from various countries."
"They are not hostages." Chu Qiao raised her head and said in a deep voice, "The orders I gave are absolutely in line with the various regulations of the military department. I didn't kill a person in vain. As long as I see my superior and General Jin Sign the document and I will make my fullest statement to the military court. Until then, I will not stand any trial."
The trial has reached a stalemate. After taking Chu Qiao down, all the judges and generals exited the hall one after another, and the strict monitoring device took all their images. However, under the corner of the bench where the senior general of the military department was sitting just now, there was a small device flashing red light, and the numbers on the screen were jumping quietly.
Time is running out.
Chu Qiao sat on the iron bed, lowered her head, and sat quietly. The cell she was in was surrounded by specially-made tempered glass, and the outside could fully see the situation inside, but the people inside couldn't see the slightest movement outside, and there was no privacy at all. And the hardness of these glasses, even if you shoot continuously for a day with a large-caliber submachine gun, you can only open a small bullet hole. If you want to break the glass and escape, you may need the help of an atomic bomb.
Even though she couldn't see or hear it, as the senior commander of the country's most secret intelligence service, she clearly knew all the arrangements outside. Feeling her pulse with her hand, she silently counted the time. She knew that it was almost time to eat.
Sure enough, with a crisp click, a corner door opened under the glass, and a tray was slowly put in with one hand.
Chu Qiao sat on the bed with her head down, seemingly motionless, but a small stone flew out suddenly, and hit the watch buckle on the wrist of the soldier who delivered the food precisely and silently. into the prison.
The soldier outside the door was startled, and stretched out his arm to touch it twice, but he couldn't reach it. When Chu Qiao heard the sound, she turned her head away seemingly unintentionally, and frowned suspiciously. She knew that besides this person, there was another person standing outside who was closely monitoring her. According to common sense, prisoners are not allowed to approach the cell door during the meal delivery, but at this moment, Chu Qiao stretched out her hand and gestured to herself. The soldier outside the door could see clearly, and stretched out his hand twice, but he still couldn't reach the watch, so he stretched out his fist and beat the ground twice to express his agreement.
Chu Qiao jumped off the iron bed, picked up the watch on the ground, handed it to the soldier, smiled lightly at the toughened glass where she couldn't see outside, picked up the food, and returned to the bed.
Outside, it quickly quietened down.
Everything is so natural, without a trace of strangeness.
After Chu Qiao finished her meal, she walked to the simple bathroom and opened the door.
The government is fairly humane, and the bathroom settings are fairly private. Except above the shoulders, the bottom is all made of opaque plastic. Chu Qiao sat on the toilet with her head slightly lowered. She knew that there were people watching her outside, and that she must not go to the toilet for more than twenty minutes.
In the bathroom where no one else could see, Chu Qiao gently stretched out her white palm. At the tip of the soldier's finger that had just touched it, there was a transparent film, on which was the soldier's hand that was accidentally extracted by her. fingerprint. Chu Qiao knew that time was running out and it was time for her to act.
