Different from the technique often used in dramas, after hearing this sentence, Xu Le did not stay silent and then reflect, and finally came to a conclusion in shame, but frowned with the pair of thick ink, straight as a knife. Eyebrows, said very seriously: "One of my brothers has obtained evidence of Medellin's involvement in the terrorist attack, and we handed it over to the federal side, but the federal law has lost its effect at that time, so I will personally take action. "
"And before I killed Medellin, I asked him personally, and he admitted it."
Zhong Shouhu's indifferent questioning originally wanted to point directly at Xu Le's heart, to reveal the hidden murderous emotion in the young man's heart, and to refute the other party's words of questioning the evidence, but he never thought that Xu Le across the table would actually look like A law student, like a dedicated and serious child, responded with seriousness.
This is a very wonderful little guy. Zhong Shouhu looked at Xu Le quietly, and his opinion became more firm in his heart. He laughed at himself: "You are right, I have no evidence. In fact, if there was evidence, I would have sent the Someone kill Du Shaoqing."
Commander Xilin raised his eyebrows and said with a three-pointed sternness: "I respect your idea of using masturbation or self-hypnosis in some ways, but I still want to remind you that your President Pabul will be chased by the officers in the future. When you step down... remember our conversation today."
Your president, since the last election, Xu Le seems to have heard this statement on many occasions, but because of the different occasions, the meaning of this statement is also very different. Mr. Shi said this because he was proud of his influence on the federal presidential election, but Zhong Shouhu said this on behalf of the unanimous views of many big figures in the upper echelons of the Federation.
From their point of view, it is natural that His Excellency the President pardoned Xu Le and spared no effort to cultivate this person with the military. In the future political map of the Federation, His Excellency the President, the Seven Families, bureaucrats and politicians will undoubtedly have many disputes over interests, and Xu Le will definitely stand on the side of President Pabble.
In the past few years, I have an excellent impression of Mr. President, the amnesty and the outstanding political integrity and decision-making ability of this federal politician in the Medellin incident. The few but very impressive exchanges in the past two years, listen to his words, Watching his actions, eating potatoes boiled by the first lady herself, Xu Leming knew that he had a faint imprint of the official residence on him, but he did not reject it, but felt a little honored.
Hearing Commander Zhong's sarcastic words, the crazy picture of Mr. President being aimed at by countless gun barrels appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed, he raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no evidence or even a sign, just because of a clip in school that year, You are about to put the Commander Shaoqing into the ranks of fanatical officers... Although I also hate this guy, but this is too absurd."
Zhong Shouhu frowned, waved his hand and said, "It also makes sense, is it because he wanted to rob my wife back then?"
Xu Le was speechless, since the commander-in-chief of the other side of the dignified federal government had already turned the topic to the situation in the First Military Academy back then, it was naturally inconvenient for him to say anything else.
Zhong Shouhu raised his chin slightly and said recklessly: "I hate Du Shaoqing so much, so I will crush him to death for the rest of my life. A major general and division commander in a mere area uses a lieutenant colonel as his attendant, so I will use a colonel. As long as I don't die, the commander-in-chief of the front line will be It can only be me forever, I suppressed him for ten years, and even if I die, he will have to endure for a long time to get to where I am now."
"The most critical point is that the Federation wants his Seventh Iron Division to show a fierce side on the front line. I will definitely let the entire Federation understand who is the real fierce person on the battlefield."
"Is this a child's anger?" Xu Le asked in a serious and playful tone with his small eyes wide open.
"That's an interesting question to me, but boring and childish in your opinion."
Zhong Shouhu ignored Xu Le's rare enriched facial expressions, unscrewed the third bottle of white wine on the table, poured himself a drink, and asked thoughtfully, "The last question, what do you think of the war between the Federation and the Empire? At what point does it really end?"
Hearing this question, Xu Le slowly sat up on his sweaty body and looked at each other in surprise.
How can the war that has lasted for nearly a hundred years be ended? This is a problem that seems to be more macroscopic and complex than the universe of the galaxy. In the face of hundreds of millions of vicious and cruel imperial invaders, and in the face of the madly warlike emperor of the empire, even if the federation has always been in control of the strategic Take the initiative, but no one dares to say when and how this war will end.
He has learned quantum physics from Professor Shen, and has also been exposed to the knowledge of astrophysics. He knows a lot about this materialistic world. However, when he hears this question, he still thinks that Commander Zhong has probably drunk too much, so he will meet with him. A lieutenant colonel's discussion like himself should have been discussed at the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Zhong Shouhu looked at him interestingly, waiting for his answer. Under the stare of his gaze, Xu Le had to think very seriously and give an absolutely sincere answer.
"Drive the imperial people out of Xilin, and then the federal troops enter the empire star field, annihilate its base troop group, and fight the empire to the bone. From now on, it will never dare to start the war again, and the federation can achieve true peace."
"Naive." Commander Zhong made an unceremonious evaluation immediately.
Xu Le scratched his head. He knew that this kind of thinking was a bit naive. However, since the catastrophe, the Federation has been living and developing peacefully in this universe. Except for the Bermuda pirates, they have never encountered any real wars.
"In Schiller's script, all wars always have an end. Those mythical kingdoms have fought ridiculously for a rose for more than six hundred years, but the war will end in the end."
"That's a drama." Zhong Shouhu corrected unceremoniously, and then said: "Even if Schiller's description is what actually happened in history, it can't be used as a model. Don't forget those ridiculous knight wars. The captured nobles only need to spend some gold coins to return to their hometown, and the dead are all low-level farmers and hunters."
"And the war between the Federation and the Empire is a battle of races, and even prisoners of war rarely appear. From top to bottom, how many people died and how much blood was shed on both sides? The most important thing is that our great Federation Army God … His Majesty the Emperor who killed them with his own hands.”
"So what?" Xu Le looked at him suspiciously.
"In order for an imperial emperor to maintain his rule, the first thing to do is the purity of blood and the legitimacy of the so-called continuation of power. Whether it is the current mad emperor or the future imperial emperor, because of these factors, they will inevitably die for the one who died in Li Revenge of the previous emperor in the hands of the common man."
"This is the so-called blood feud, and you can also call it an immortal feud. There are still many problems within the empire today. The royal family and nobles can hypnotize the untouchable warriors to rush to Xilin in the space age. It is by relying on With absolute correctness represented by the flame of vengeance."
"And then?" Xu Le listened carefully.
"This war will end, unless the Federation destroys the empire, but our system cannot learn from the imperial people who keep their people like pigs and dogs in captivity, because there is always a so-called in our society that there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy. Pan-universal humanitarian shit... So the Imperials will rebel, and we will continue to kill the Imperials until they are all killed. Or the Empire will destroy the Federation and drown us in warm water tanks like fish."
"Apart from these two situations, there is no other possibility?" Xu Le asked, scratching his head.
"Have."
Zhong Shouhu looked at the hopeful look on his face, and said mockingly, "The Federation immediately conceded defeat, and then stripped the Lord of War God and tied it up, and sent it to the Empire's Tianjing Star.
Xu Le waved his hand angrily, indicating that this cold joke was not funny.
"With your IQ, you should be able to tell it's a joke."
Zhong Shouhu continued his impolite mockery: "Everyone in the federation knows this is a joke. The government and the military understand better than anyone how difficult it is to end this war. They know that although the federation is much better than the empire in terms of economic and technological strength, But to truly destroy the Empire and bring peace to the Commonwealth, a stronger and more efficient government is very much needed."
"It's just because the government and the military are in different positions, and they put their thinking on solving this problem in two different directions."
"Some people in the military believe that the federation needs wartime control, establish a military government, and let the parliamentary media and the public, as well as those mercenary giants, be honest and speak in a lower voice."
"You're back again." Xu Le said with a shrug.
Zhong Shouhu ignored him and continued: "The hardliners in the government believe that a government that is strong and efficient enough to win this war must dig out the abscesses in the body of the Federation from its foundation... The seven families who are watching from the shadows."
"Especially in Xilin, the federal government must put this star field under absolute control. To control the Zhong family, it must clear me, so today's murder will happen."
"I admit that your analysis is very reasonable, but I want to remind you that the target of the previous assassination was me. Even if I was just a cover for them, I still can't believe it. If the federal government is the mastermind behind it, how could they have made a move? Will you be as petty as today? This is far from the prestige of your Xilin Tiger." Xu Le analyzed seriously.
"I have the same feeling." Zhong Shouhu said with a smile: "In this universe, if you really want to kill me, unless the federal government sends an army, I'm really curious, under the gaze of so many eyes , who would dare to send an army to kill me, the front-line commander-in-chief."
The wine was exhausted, and the two at the table were talking about the general trend of the universe while drunk. While Xu Le was thinking silently, Zhong Shouhu had already stood up, picked up the general's uniform from the back of the chair, draped it randomly on his shoulders, and stumbled to leave.
Xu Le stood up to say goodbye and asked earnestly, "Why did you tell me this?"
Zhong Shouhu turned sideways, stared at the simple and sincere face of the young man, and said, "Because you are Xu Le."
Xu Le said, "I still don't understand."
Zhong Shouhu, holding the general's uniform, was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Because I admire you... You are a rare young man in the Federation, a silent stone. Although I am the former commander-in-chief of the Federation, I am also interested in small talk. I just want to talk about these words, but I can't find the person to talk to."
This is a good explanation, Xu Le thought so in his heart, but he always felt that the conversation by the pot by the window contained some sad autumn feeling. , let him have this idea.
"I admire you very much, too." He thought of the little girl in S1 Qixia Prefecture, and suddenly asked in a suppressed voice, "But you're not looking for an orphan, are you?"
Zhong Shouhu was stunned, and then he laughed arrogantly: "Don't overestimate yourself, and don't underestimate the strength of a family that has survived in the universe for tens of thousands of years, especially... don't underestimate me."
Xu Le rubbed his nose in embarrassment, suddenly raised his head and said, "I said at the beginning that your nephew was involved in this murder..."
Zhong Shouhu looked at him with a weird expression. He had probably never seen such a persistent and tough young man in his life. He stretched out a finger and said seriously, "This time it was you who came back."
Xu Le defaults.
"How is your relationship with my daughter?" Zhong Shouhu asked.
A piece of black hair with watermelon rind waving in front of Xu Le's eyes floated in front of his eyes, and said seriously, "Like brothers and sisters."
"There are too many juniors in the family. If my nephew is not a bastard, what will happen to my daughter in the future? What if I die? Do you really want to entrust the orphan to you?"
Zhong Shouhu looked at him calmly, then stretched out his hand across the table, rubbed Xu Le's hair rudely like an elder, then turned to leave, his back was vicissitudes.
Zhong Ziqi participated in this murder. With Xu Leya's temperament that he was beaten and forced to be swallowed by the enemy, he would never stop. Whether it was legal or official channels, he would always ask the other party to pay for it, even if He is Xilin Tiger's most beloved nephew.
But before Zhong Shouhu left, he asked about his relationship with Little Watermelon, and he said what to do with the two. It was like pouring a bucket of ice water into a head full of wine, Xu Le was sober and finally understood why Xilin Tiger was such a character. , there will be a second-hand heir like Zhong Ziqi, a deep chill towards the clan's ingenuity or conspiracy, occupying his entire body.
Walking out of the restaurant, Xu Le looked at the convoy that disappeared in the direction of the Second Wei District, and couldn't help shaking his head. Without the company of spirits and the red soup pot, the night wind in Sunset State seemed a little cold, and he immediately fastened the collar of his military uniform.
The black car drove over like a ghost. Xu Le opened the door and sat on it. He quietly listened to Magnolia's description of the details of the completion of today's task, and said thank you seriously.
The seven groups of military vehicles that had been waiting for a long time also followed, and they gathered closely around the black vehicles.
Looking at the scene he was used to through the glass, Xu Le was surprised to understand that he was no longer the poor orphan of a miner, a small concierge of Ewha University, or an engineer who traveled between the capital and Hong Kong by high-speed rail, although he was only a A young lieutenant colonel, but already has a certain influence in the Federation, and can even drink and gossip all night with a legendary figure like Commander Zhong.
This conversation is extremely important to him. He is more familiar with machines or firearms, and he has never been sharp enough to see clearly the foggy federal politics. Tonight, Zhong Shouhu's seemingly casual remarks made him suddenly enlightened. Understand a lot.
These and the last sentence made Xu Le feel that this Xilin tiger was not an ordinary person, let alone someone he could compare to. Commander Zhong, whose words and deeds can influence the general trend of the universe, has such a sharp and in-depth way of thinking about problems.
He even naturally had an idea that Zhong Shouhu and Du Shaoqing were called lifelong enemies by many good deeds. However, looking at it today, how could Du Shaoqing defeat this seemingly pedantic and rotten, but actually ruthless and sharp character
After the fireworks dissipated tonight, there were clouds coming from the east, covering the stars above the clear atmosphere. The street scene of Sunset City outside the window became darker and blurrier. Xu Le looked out like a statue and remained silent for a long time.
He did not agree with some of Commander Zhong's assertions, because there was no factual evidence. However, some things he had personally experienced in the past two years made him faintly feel that there was indeed a certain dangerous trend of thought among the young officers of the Federation. This trend of thought has not surfaced, but is only fermenting and brewing.
Want to create a military government? There is no such possibility in the Commonwealth. After a long period of serious thinking, based on the engineer's clear logical thinking and understanding of the federal political structure, as well as the first charter of more than 700,000 words, Xu Le made his own judgment and breathed a sigh of relief. The admiration is even stronger.
As the top privileged class of the Federation, the lonely Xilin Tiger, this person worries about the future of the Federation and sincerely safeguards the Federation's system. How can he not be admired? He thought of his friend Tai Zhiyuan, who seemed to have the same excellent quality. It seems that there are not no good people in the Seven Great Families, and beautiful lotuses can grow in the muddy ground, but Tai Zhiyuan always has some bad breath of the prince in his bones.
Alas, young man, Xu Le shook his head and sighed.
The murder is officially over as the Sunset State arrests come to an end.
The Xilin Military Region took this opportunity to cleanse the people who were placed on the main star by various factions in the capital star circle. A total of more than 70 suspects were arrested and awaiting trial. Among these arrested suspects, there were as many as 50 or so. People belong to relevant government departments.
Xilin Zhong's family, in this cold and arrogant way, issued the strongest warning to the people in the capital star circle. It must be mentioned that the list and related evidence sent by the federal central computer to Xu Le, in this purge played a considerable role.
Everything was calm, Xu Le did not hand over the evidence of Zhong Ziqi's involvement to the higher authorities of the government, nor did he take the seven groups to carry out private revenge, but not many people noticed that a team member named Xi Peng left the camp. Boarded the battleship that returned to the capital star circle.
On the day that Xi Peng left the barracks, Xu Le sent them off in person. At the gate in the early morning, he said, "I know you are not malicious."
Xi Peng's face was a little pale, he glanced at the already familiar barracks, remembered that his closest comrades were still sleeping, and after a moment of silence he said, "I did release some news, but I don't know about them. I want to kill you."
"This is not the key. The key is that we are a force. We must give our backs to each other on the battlefield. In fact, on Planet 163, we also do the same." Xu Le said: "But this matter , makes it difficult for me to continue to absolutely trust you."
Xi Peng nodded and said, "I understand this, but don't expect me to be moved to tears because of your words, and then become your little brother."
"That's what's in the novel."
Xu Le said, and then the two shook hands gently and said goodbye.
Xilin Sunset State is calm, but it is difficult for people in the S1 Capital District to maintain such a tolerant attitude. Government officials and members of the management committee, overwhelmed by the fierce reaction from Xilin, began to investigate angrily, who was stupid enough to try to use Take the sniper rifle and go assassinate the tiger.
If the assassination of Commander Zhong is more like a joke, then the real assassination of Xu Le made countless people feel uneasy, especially some people who knew the inside story, who confirmed that this long-planned assassination After the murder did not make Xu Le disappear forever, they made the quickest and most accurate response.
Lin Douhai, who was riding a fierce horse at the Xilu Meadow Racecourse, was violently pulled off his horse by several big men from his home, and in just ten minutes, he boarded a helicopter, changed to the family's private airship, and entered. Planet S3 was then closely guarded in the Lin family's private estate covering thousands of square kilometers.
This is the Lin family's severe punishment for the unqualified heir, but from another perspective, the house arrest is also because the elders of the family are very worried that the young lieutenant colonel will stage another Medellin-style terrorist incident.
And Nan Mingxiu, who was giving a generous speech in the Parliament Hill Building to gain the mysterious eyes of the female parliamentary staff, was brought back to S2 by the staff of the Fourth Section of the Anti-Government Army in Qinglong Mountain with the fastest speed, and returned to S2 sadly. In the poverty-stricken village he desperately wanted to get rid of, he returned to his father, the leader he feared the most.
In addition, the Central Committee of Qinglongshan also sent a congratulatory message to the seven groups in Xilin through Zhang Xiaomeng stationed in the capital star circle, congratulating them on the dazzling frontline under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le. Merit. Although this congratulatory message is nondescript, it represents a certain attitude.
All parties are expressing their positions in their own way. The bigwigs are wary of Xu Le's stubborn and stubborn behavior, but what worries them more is the anger that may appear in Philadelphia.
There are many people in this universe who have been mad, but if the old man by the lake in Philadelphia starts a riot, even the Seven Masters can't bear it. However, to the surprise of many, there was no sound coming from Philadelphia.
"That's because Madam can't stand watching this scene anymore. No one thought that Zhong Hu would use the tricks of these little guys to make such a big noise. Speaking of which, I am like Madam. I wonder if the killer in room 1302 was a scene that Tiger added halfway through after he knew someone was going to kill Xu Le."
On the top floor of the Sanlin United Bank headquarters building, the thin old man wearing a funny little hat sat in his exclusive chair, looked at Li Xiuzhu in front of him, smiled and said, "This time you did a good job, we are financiers, It’s not a killer, you must know that the occupation of a killer is always too dangerous.”
