On the streets of the capital in the middle of the night, the convoy with the conspicuous military license plates, like a group of ghosts, drove to the west at an unusually fast speed. If it was daytime, passersby would have noticed the identity and status represented by this motorcade. At this time, there were occasionally workers driving self-sweeping vehicles on the street. When they saw those military vehicles from a distance, they also stepped on them subconsciously. Brake and watch the convoy whizz by.
Zou Yingxing did not sit in the special vehicle of the Minister of Defense in front, but in the bulletproof military vehicle of Admiral Miles. Two important figures of the federal military, looking straight ahead, with a calm tone, are discussing something.
"You and I know better than anyone what that pen in front of Mr. President means, no matter why Xu Le killed Medellin, but he did this, it means that he has made great contributions to the federation, and He is also one of the developers of the MX mecha, and more importantly, in the eyes of us soldiers, if this little guy dies like this, it will be a big loss for the Federation."
Admiral Miles' eyebrows glowed under the glittering light of the night light, and a few traces of white could be vaguely seen inside. He frowned, then smiled and said, "That video has been analyzed by the War Research Office of the Military Region. For a long time, those little brats who are doing exercises recently are also learning to judge, how many times have you seen it?"
"Once." Minister Zou replied quietly: "It involves federal secrets. If you read it too many times, the confidentiality will be reduced."
Admiral Miles laughed, looked at him slightly mockingly and said: "After so many years, you still look so cautious, you have thrown the video into the training base, what are you still covering in front of me? "
Minister Zou smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
"Federal soldiers, made of iron and blood, suddenly appeared a cautious and self-controlled character like you, and you were placed in the position of Minister of Defense. I'm afraid many people in the army can't imagine it." Admiral Miles turned sideways. Looking at him, he said slowly, "But I always remember that during the second expedition, if you hadn't forced the fleet to land, my troops would have been wiped out."
"You were on the intercom, wielding that suicide pistol, and yelling at the fleet. If the fleet doesn't come down again, you will kill everyone in the logistics base... In this case, how dare I not listen your arrangement?"
Minister Zou said lightly. Just a few simple words brought these two soldiers back to the battlefield a long time ago. At that time, General Miles was already a powerful figure in a certain front army, while Zou Yingxing was only a logistics leader. Officer, the rank of the two sides is very different, no one would have thought that after so many years, the two of them have become equal military bosses.
More importantly, I'm afraid that even President Pabble and the lady could not have predicted that the two bosses of the federal military have had very little contact over the years, but their private relationship is so harmonious.
Admiral Miles sat up straight and said coldly: "Let's get down to business. Xu Le is an active duty soldier after all, how could he just die at the hands of those guys. In order to cover up the truth, let our children be the scapegoats. ?"
"If this little guy can be polished for a few years in the army, he will definitely shine in the war with the empire in the future."
Admiral Miles thought of the surveillance video of the Foundation building that he had watched many times, untied the collar of his military uniform, and sighed: "How many years have I not seen such a fierce guy? I think even that little lunatic Li Feng, I'm afraid there is no way to break into the foundation and kill Medellin... You said, can the teacher of the year do it?"
The division commander he was talking about was, of course, many years ago, the commander of the Seventeenth Armored Division, and today's Lord Lipif, the God of the Federation Army.
"Of course there is no problem with the teacher." Admiral Miles immediately overturned his previous doubts and said slowly: "But in the future wars, do you still expect the teacher to come out in person? Aren't we people going to die of shame?"
Zou Yingxing has been listening quietly, without interjecting a word, just occasionally looking at the quiet street outside the window, a few glitter flashes in his eyes, and then disappears quickly.
"If I remember correctly, that girl in your family seems to be one of his... Under such circumstances, you are still so cautious and refuse to come forward?" Admiral Miles leaned back in his chair and began to close his eyes.
Zou Yingxing smiled and didn't explain anything. Once he hugged the little guy in that cemetery, it was destined that both sides would carry a few black-painted pots for each other.
Admiral Miles didn't hear Zou Yingxing's voice, and he didn't think it was different. He knew that this guy started all the way from logistics, and he has always been cautious and solemn in the army. He would never express his opinions easily, even if he is now a federal Secretary of Defense, this temperament has not changed.
He closed his eyes and said slowly, "Xu Le is a talent and cannot die."
On the top floor of the Sanlin Union Bank Headquarters Building, the pure glass dome and side walls are as dazzling as a diamond in the dark night.
The old man of Liyuan Palace, the head of the Li family, still wore that little black hat and sat on that old-fashioned chair, which was in stark contrast to the spacious and luxurious office environment on the top floor of the bank headquarters.
He put down the phone in his hand, the wrinkles on his face did not stretch, but squeezed into lines like weathered stone layers, densely packed and full of heaviness.
"The meeting at the official residence has ended, and Congressman Medellin has been confirmed to be a spy of the Empire." Liyuan Palace took off the cap on top of his head, raised his drooping lips in self-deprecation, and said in a slow voice. : "This thing is really wonderful. For the first time, our Lee family intervened in the presidential election, and as a result, we supported an imperial man."
There has never been an absolute secret in the federation. An absolute secret like Medellin's true identity may always only be circulated in a small circle of dozens of people, but it can never be concealed from the heads of the seven families of the federation, because they have lived forever. members of this small circle.
Li Xiuzhu stood in front of his old father with his head bowed, like a child who made a mistake. His face was pale, and his flower-like face seemed to wither. After hearing his father's words, his body slumped even deeper.
"Mr. Pabble is a very wise person. He will not expose this matter. In that case, all those who have supported Medellin, including our family, will be embarrassed and ugly." The old man coughed twice and said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much. Mr. Medellin lied to the entire Federation. Besides, you and I, don't think too much of your abilities."
"Understood, father." Li Xiuzhu lowered his head and replied, and then he asked, "Xu Le has been missing for five months. According to intelligence, Medellin's death should be related to him."
"Medellin...is an admirable guy, but in the end, he was killed by Xu Le like this." The old man of Liyuan Palace slowly stood up and walked out of the office, "In a certain sense Speaking of which, he is a hero of the Federation, but unfortunately he can only be a terrorist forever, nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and then died."
"Father?"
Li Xiuzhu had not met Xu Le a few times. As a figure on the federal pyramid, he should not have paid too much attention to that little person, but over a year of practice has proved that no one can imagine that little person has possessions. He was very wary of Xu Le's existence, but no matter how gloomy and cold he was in his heart, he couldn't help being stunned when he heard his father's words. A young man who made great contributions to the Federation could only welcome To such a dismal end
"Looking at Medellin's death, you can see that the young man's actions are too unreasonable and too cruel... The system of the federation cannot accommodate such a single-handed person." Liyuan Palace slowly walked out of the office, The old voice echoed in the empty room, every word penetrating the heart.
"You can kill people at will by your own will, and you have the terrifying ability to kill. How many people in the Federation will not sleep well if you keep such people? The same is true, including your useless father... Just think about it. , One day in the future, that Xu Le suddenly thinks I deserve to die, and will come to kill me, how should I live?"
Medellin was an amazing character, but such an amazing character died at Xu Le's hands for no reason at all in his own base camp.
This fact made some people in the federation greatly admired and regarded him as a hero, but more big men felt an unprecedented chill towards him while rejoicing that the federation was safe, and wanted to kill him.
There is an old saying in the Federation that when a man is angry, the world bleeds. Today, the old man Lipif is enjoying the scenery by the lake in Philadelphia, but suddenly there is another man, and this young man is actually not particular about the rules!
Just like the self-deprecating comment of the old man of the Li family, since such a person has already contributed to the Federation by mistake, if he survives or is released, it can only represent danger.
Except for the silent federal military, everyone including the government cabinet, insiders on Parliament Hill, and those big families didn't want to watch Xu Le survive or be released. They watched the story of the federation covering up Medellin in silence, waiting grimly for Xu Le to be identified as a terrorist and then die.
As long as this "little person" dies, the world will return to its normal track. Hello and me, everyone, and the Federation will have a better tomorrow. But what a despicable and depressing situation for Xu Le and Shi Qinghai.
Mochou Houshan Manor.
Shen Li rubbed his brows, finished processing the urgent documents that need to be processed today, and then noticed that the e-mail in the lower right corner was flickering. He frowned and opened the mailbox. Looking at the words above, he was still unable to make up his mind for a long time, after thinking for a moment. , got up and sorted out his clothes, walked around the long corridor, and walked up to the third floor.
Outside the huge kitchen on the third floor, Shen Li held the document in his hand, looked at the lady's back, and said softly, "Bai Yulan wants to come back, he has a comrade-in-arms getting married next month, and he doesn't want to miss it. "
The sharp knife in Mrs. Tai's hand, who was chopping the onion, stopped on the cutting board. After a while, she said indifferently, "This is a small matter, you can handle it yourself."
"I'm worried that if he comes back, he might meet Xu Le." Secretary Shen said in a low voice.
Mrs. Tai didn't answer, and continued the movements in her hands. The sharp sharp knife cut the onion into pieces. She wore delicate goggles on her eyes, so she never shed tears and looked indifferent.
No one could understand her anger, her gloomy mood.
Xu Le was the little guy she supported, but when she found out that this person was just as uncontrollable as the man many years ago, she felt like a favorite toy and tried to jump out of her windowsill again, Let those cars run over.
This kind of deja vu touched her sad childhood soul, so she would not allow Xu Le to live, and no one could change this fact.
Madam will not pay attention to the differences of opinion within the government, and she is too lazy to think about who transported Xu Le from Fox Fortress back to the military prison on the ground, and who put the video in the training base, so as to enrich the military. Interest in Xu Le.
It has nothing to do with Medellin's death. She holds Xu Le's biggest handle in her hand. As long as she is willing, Xu Le will surely die. It's just that she can still take a look now to see who are those who are attracting waves.
Secretary Shen understood the voice of his wife cutting onions, and knew that Xu Le could no longer escape from the military prison alive. After a moment of silence, he turned and left, sighing softly in his heart.
Xu Le didn't know that he was constantly changing between the two completely different identities of a federal hero and a terrorist, and he didn't even realize that life and death were tied to the line. In the alluring military prison in the wasteland, he often squinted and looked at the wildly growing withered grass outside the window. From time to time, he lowered his head and rubbed the bracelet on his wrist, waiting for a moment.
The uncle taught him never to put his life and death on others, so even though Xu Songzi brought some cryptic information a few days ago, letting him know that outside the military prison, some people were trying to let him go out alive, but he still Firmly and silently executes his plan.
It's a pity that the guards at Qingcheng Prison are too strict, and the omnipotent old man never said a word to his naughty request to help him escape.
The reason why he took a great risk to escape is because Xu Le knew that the lady wanted to die, and that lady knew her biggest secret, a secret that could destroy the brilliance of the federal charter. Anyone who possessed this secret must Death, even if he is the federal president, is no exception.
The severe pain under the skin made Xu Le wake up from thinking, the blood in his lips was slightly sweet, and it took a long time for his blurred vision to focus, and he could clearly see the indifferent FBI officer in front of him.
It's in the interrogation room, he's being scrutinized by the FBI, terrifying scrutiny.
The FBI officer turned up the current, watching the spikes pierced under the skin of Xu Le's chest throbbing and bleeding, and asked with a smile, "When did you join the anti-government army?"
