In the Linhai Prefecture assassination, it was the Medellin Congressman and another mysterious person who led the way. Yang Jinsong, the then Deputy Minister of Defense, was responsible for the execution. The specific implementation was a dozen young officers from the Second Military Region and special forces in a certain garrison area in S1. The combat team aimed at the Tai family who supported Senator Pabble.
However, in this incident, it was Xu Le who really played a big role. In the end, Xu Le was rescued from a pool of blood and transported to the General Hospital of the Military Region, but it was Jian Shui'er, the national girl idol in the Federation.
Xu Le has always remembered this matter firmly in his heart, and insisted that he owed Jian Shui'er his life, so when Sister Tong said this, he was speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head helplessly, and said, "Look at it. As for the situation, at most ten days, I will let you know when I decide."
Sister Tong is a female soldier herself. She does things neatly and doesn't talk much. She left each other's contact information and left in the company of the president of Baishui Company. Xu Le stood on the edge of the corridor, looking at the expression of the president and Tong Jie talking, confirming that the two were old acquaintances, and couldn't help but have a little doubt about Jian Shui'er's identity.
A federal idol with no father and no mother, no matter how he is enthusiastically loved by the people, he will not be able to have a soldier like Sister Tong as his personal assistant. Xu Le's eyes narrowed, thinking of some information that Tai Zhiyuan had revealed back then, and also remembered what he had vaguely guessed, but had already forgotten in this chaotic year.
What is the origin of Jian Shui'er
Today's Xu Le, although some aspects have been suppressing the credit for this year, even if the headquarters of the Nutshell Motor Company wanted to reward him, he was forced to postpone it, but things can't be hidden from everyone. .
Unlike the poor technical director who was distributed from the research institute to Whitewater Company, although he is still without a job, his status in the eyes of many people is much more important. There is nothing left or right, and the officials of the White Water Company will not force him to come to work every day by pressing the clock.
Hurrying back from the suburbs of the capital, he was not in a hurry to go home, anyway, there is nothing urgent to do now. After a long silence in the passenger seat, he directly asked Bai Yulan to drive the car to the western suburbs of the capital.
The black car parked outside the compound without a house number. The autumn tree in the courtyard towered into the sky, and it was about to pierce the snowy sky. Bai Yulan knew that this was the western suburb compound of the federal military, so she didn't follow him in. She stood beside the car and started smoking the long-standing cigarette in silence. After all, the backer of the little boss is indeed the Vice Minister Zou.
I called the security guard, and it didn't take long before an orderly came over and led Xu Le in. Going forward along the playground and the broad and straight avenues, and not far toward the foothills of the western suburbs of the capital, I came to a few independent courtyards.
Entering the No. 7 Courtyard, the simple and not rudimentary setting, coupled with the extremely large area, has a unique breath of the federal military. Xu Le looked at Zou Yu who was holding the child at the door downstairs, stepped forward two steps faster, and picked up the child.
"Mother is still at work, don't worry too much." Zou Yu glanced at him and explained it naturally.
Xu Le carefully hugged Zou Liuhuo in his arms, sat on the sofa with some hardness, and said after a moment of silence, "I came to see you today because I don't understand something, and I want to hear your opinion."
"I thought there was nothing in this world that you didn't understand." Zou Yu said with a smile, a hint of self-deprecation flashed across his pretty face, the young man in front of him who got along with each other day and night, silently, would do it in secret. After so many things, although she had already predicted it, she was still a little shocked and uncomfortable.
Xu Le never deceived her about getting along with Wangdu Apartment and many things that followed, but regarded her as a trustworthy analyst, so the eldest Miss Zou didn't ridicule him harshly, but because she saw his eyebrows His expression became solemn, and he asked, "Don't ask me where Zhang Xiaomeng is, I really don't know that."
"It's good that you don't know. If even you knew, she would definitely not be able to live." Xu Le looked down at the sleeping baby in his arms, trying to find a few words in the eyes of this little boy who was just a few months old. In the end, he found that this effort was in vain. In his eyes, the babies seemed to be exactly the same, and his discerning eyes, which were enough to distinguish precise lines, were of no use.
"Do you understand what happened this morning?" Xu Le raised his head, looked at Zou Yu and asked seriously, "Medellin announced his withdrawal from the election, does this have anything to do with the suspension of the federal government's investigation of him? ."
Speaking of the business, Zou Yu asked the nanny to take the child away, then led Xu Le to the tea room next to him, looked at him seriously for a long time before saying, "When the hearing started that day, I was worried about your mood, so I called you. The phone, you said at the time, these are no longer your business, so why should you care?"
Xu Le was also silent for a long time, and said: "Why did I target Medellin before, you should be very clear, yes, these are not my things now, but after all, I have worked hard for a year, and suddenly found that this has become A joke is always a little weird."
"You've made it all clear, why ask me? There is naturally a deal between the two. The Medellin Congressman helps the Federation to calm down the current turmoil, and the Federation will also give him some kind of security guarantee." Zou Yu gave him down A cup of tea, said softly.
Xu Le raised his eyebrows, like two flying knives that were about to be unsheathed, and he asked slightly dumbly, "But this doesn't make sense. Zhang Xiaomeng came out to testify against Medellin, Mrs. Tai and the anti-government. There must be an agreement in the military, and those big men must have put in a lot of effort, including the things I gave to the Tai family, all of which are enough to defeat Medellin, so why negotiate with him at this time?"
He was a little depressed, frowned and said, "Medellin obviously participated in the assassination in Linhai Prefecture, doesn't Mrs. Tai want to take revenge?"
"Whether it's the President or his wife, what they need is the long-term interests, the interests of the Federation. After all, Tai Zhiyuan is still alive and well, right?" Zou Yu said with his eyes lowered.
"Long-term interests? What about those who died in the Linhaizhou Stadium, those security personnel, and the innocent spectators who died in the four states around the mountain? Isn't the federal law to protect their interests?"
"After you came out of the District Prosecutor's Office last time, you said something to me. I thought you had seen through these things."
"Seeing through is one thing, but I didn't expect those people in the government to be so naked and not cover up." Xu Le's often squinted eyes widened, not knowing whether he was looking at Zou Yu or Looking at something else, "I understand turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands for rain, but I really can't believe that Mrs. Tai and the others would make such an unwise decision."
"There is no wise or unwise statement. The main reason is that Medellin has enough public opinion to shake the foundation of the federal government. If the federal government really investigates this way, who will guarantee the interests of the Li family and the Lin family?"
Zou Yu organized the words in his mind, and continued: "At this critical moment, the interests of the Seven Families will be naturally tied together, and even the government is not willing to stir it up without authorization. Medellin withdrew from the election and Pabul was elected, Madam has got what she wants, she doesn't care if Medellin will go to jail or not."
"This matter seems to be just flipping the palm of your hand. In fact, in the capital at night, I don't know how many people are walking in the presidential residence, not worrying about the back mountain, the parliament building, threading the needle for this compromise, running around and shouting... Because there are people in the federation. Too many people don't want to see chaos, and they don't want to see Medellin being tried."
Zou Yu glanced at him and said, "Madam and we are in different positions and consider different things, not only the presidential election this term, but also the long-term stability of the Federation for decades, this is the focus of her concern. From the start of the Medellin project to the swift end of the Medellin project, the case itself has never been an important matter, but as a bargaining chip, how much profit can be obtained in exchange for the situation she is willing to see. "
Xu Le lowered his head for a moment and said, "It turned out to be just a bargaining chip."
Zou Yu continued: "The Minister of Justice must resign, but he will definitely have a good future. Mrs. Zion in the parliament, I think his wife can also influence. Medellin is a smart person, so he knows that his wife can He knocked down the dust, but he kept on pushing hard, so that he forced the lady to stop at last."
"What did Madam lose? There was nothing, but she helped Senator Pabble win the presidency without bloodshed."
"Medellín lost access to the heart of federal politics, but managed to survive."
"President Seagal suspended the investigation, and perhaps later historians will downplay suspicion, but he was able to gain a long-lasting and unbreakable personal friendship with his wife, which is very important for a retiring federal leader. of."
"Everything everyone does is to see where their goals are. The current situation is the one the Federation wants to see the most, just like people wearing a cheerful mask on their faces, it's always better not to tear them apart. Yes, once it is torn apart, those ugly facial features do not know how many people will be intimidated."
"This matter is over. The most important thing is that the public's emotions have been appeased, and the federation has returned to peace. Compared with this, it doesn't matter whether Medellin is guilty or not."
She glanced at Xu Le, who kept her head down, and said in a low voice, "The day before yesterday, the interim Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting was held. Of course, I didn't see the minutes, but I know from Brother Jiao that several military leaders support the president's decision. , except that Commander Zhong of the Fourth Military Region scolded a few mothers."
Hearing this sentence, Xu Le suddenly had a great impression on the commander Zhong from the distant Xilin, the father of Little Watermelon, and asked, "Where's Minister Zou?"
"My father never speaks on occasions like this, and everyone knows that he's going to be the defense secretary when MP Pabble takes office, and his position is a bit awkward."
"Also on Parliament Hill, the influence of Mrs. Zion was behind the turn of Congressman Zion, but more than 100 members of Congress collectively agreed to stop the hearing. I would even dare to say that the lobbying groups of the Seven Families and the big companies in Hong Kong, It must have been a great effort.”
"Only Medellin is really leisurely, but he is the one who suffers the most. For at least ten years, he will never have the opportunity to enter the core of federal politics. In my judgment, he will probably return to the S2 Ring Mountain Four States."
Zou Yu calmly analyzed the situation, and especially pointed out some details, including how the witnesses of the anti-government forces came to the capital, the story of what happened in the hotel, what compromises the two sides might have made behind these things, and why President Seagal might have accepted the advice of Mrs.
Xu Le has been listening silently, his mood is getting heavier and heavier. Although he had already guessed these behind-the-scenes transactions in the past two days, he never listened to Zou Yu's clear analysis. These simple conversations made him feel shocked and even horrified. He thought he had been in contact with some big people and could understand the rules of conduct in the so-called circle, but he still did not expect that the exchange of interests would be so skillful, so skillful that people suffer.
"Human society has been living like this for countless years." Zou Yu looked at his expression and explained, "I know better than anyone that Madam was able to overthrow Congressman Medellin and the forces behind him so smoothly this time. You put a lot of effort into it. I also know that you handed over the key evidence to Shen Li. Now that Medellin is not in prison, of course you will be a little unconvinced, but in the face of thousands of federal society Ten thousand years of political behavior, if you are not convinced, you can only curse in secret."
She persuaded: "After all, the prince's brother is alive and well, and your revolutionary lover is still alive. You really don't need to let yourself turn around."
For the stability of the federation, making such a decision may be acceptable to politicians, but Xu Le is still a little bit hard to turn around. He is just a stinky stone, looking at things and doing things according to his own morality. As a human being, what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. Those who smash people with stones should smash them with stones, and the perpetrator should not be allowed to kiss two stones before slapping his butt and leaving.
But as Zou Yu reminded him, what he reminded himself, these important affairs of the Federation, what about his farts? He laughed wryly at himself, took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, and said, "Zhang Xiaomeng lied to me, and so did my wife. In this way, I'm really a naive guy."
Zou Yu is outside at home, and is only known for being cold and arrogant in disguise. The ability to make such an accurate analysis today is naturally not the role of Minister Zou Yingxing's teaching since childhood, but the effect of his wife taking her to afternoon tea over the years. Only the lady and Xu Le had the chance to see this beautiful girl's innate sensitivity to politics.
As she said before, the location is different, and the things that can be seen are naturally different. Xu Le thanked her and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, the phone in his arms suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and said a few words softly, then raised his head, squinted at Zou Yu, and asked, "Shen Li's phone number said that there is a dinner party at Liufengpo in the evening, and my wife asked me to attend."
Zou Yu knew that he was asking her for advice, and thought for a moment quietly. Because of the childbirth, she hadn't followed the lady in and out of those places for a long time, but after thinking for a moment, she guessed the lady's intention.
"The cake will be divided tonight." She smiled at Xu Le and said, "I guess you will get a big and sweet piece."
Liufengpo is a private club, covering an area of one hectare, right next to Charter Square, without any striking signboards, only the three ancient letters of LFP on the waist wall are inconspicuously branded. Walking into this clubhouse, I can feel the historical flavor surrounding it. Looking through the antique cornices of the four-corner patio, looking at the snow-covered head of the five-member group statue, it is Xu Le who is very preoccupied, and I can't help but feel a little uncontrollable. .
On the edge of the Charter Square of the Capital Region, there is actually such a large private clubhouse. When you look up, you can see history. What breathes in the air is power. The forest garden is accompanied by mountains and rivers, open and beautiful, but in terms of precious feeling, it has already climbed to the extreme.
Probably only the Tai family, which has been passed down through the ages, and who can profoundly influence the political life of the Federation, can preserve this clubhouse and use it as a venue for discussions.
Following the beautiful and unparalleled greeter, he walked inside, stepping on the quiet old-style corridor, Xu Le squinted at the people who were holding wine glasses and talking happily, some people had never seen before. Yes, but it is still familiar, because these members of parliament and ministers can often appear on the news of the Commonwealth.
There are not many guests today, and the comers are real bigwigs. This is a feast to divide up the interests of the Federation, and probably not many people in the entire Federation society are qualified to join in.
The setting of Liufengpo Clubhouse is very delicate. People can always find their own place beside the pond under the eaves. The warm wind from under their feet can't be felt at all, and they can already produce warm and drunkenness. The corridor that Xu Le walked led directly to the deepest part. He could see those big people, but those people didn't notice his existence.
Xu Le walked step by step toward the deep, guessing that he was probably the person with the least background, the least strength, the youngest, and the least qualifications among the people present at the meeting today. If it weren't for the downfall of the Medellin Congressman, who is inextricably linked to him, he probably would not have the opportunity to attend the grand event in his life.
According to George Carlin's theory, this is a society that distributes rewards according to information. The information passed to the Tai family through Xu Le's hands, as well as the winner of the new MX mech, determine his victory in this presidential election. , will grab the share that belongs to him. What would it be? money? status? The honor that has been suppressed by Mrs. Tai? Or is it a personal friendship that even President Seagal cares about? No, he has a personal friendship with Tai Zhiyuan, so that lady should be exempted.
At the moment of the feast, Xu Le did not have the slightest excitement or excitement, and just walked quietly. In his eyes, this feast was nothing more than cannibalism.
