Federal reporters who run political lines often laugh at themselves as possessing a pig-like sense of smell and a dog-like sense of proportions. They know very well what kind of reports can pass the review of the editorial department and even higher levels in the political atmosphere of each different time period. Such a report, no matter how brilliant and eye-catching, can only be turned into whining junk data fragments in the circuit of the workbench.
Based on these two characteristics, there is no reason why they couldn't discover the abnormal situation in the ACT last night. The field troops stationed in the suburbs actually drove into Charter Square. It is said to be an exercise, but who would believe it? Then they obtained some more sensational information through their respective information channels. For example, the security level of the federal government and Parliament Hill was raised again, and I heard that the FBI was launching a secret search operation. The return of Xilin, a federal hero who has not been successfully intercepted by reporters...
All the reporters were panicked, excited, confused, and impulsive. They didn't know if they could chase these things, and what shocking news events would break out if they chased them down, but after a short period of psychological struggle, they still wore Putting on the windbreaker, he rushed out of the doors of major newspapers and TV stations and rushed towards his destination.
A reporter in a news event is like a soldier on the battlefield. If he smells the movement but doesn't continue to investigate, he is equivalent to a soldier who raised his hand and surrendered without firing a shot. No matter what the final result of the battle is, any reporter They couldn't forgive themselves for not raising the gun in their hands.
Immediately afterwards, the reporters found themselves rushing out, but bumped into countless pieces of icy iron. No matter how good the relationship was on weekdays, today's federal government departments are closed to them, and no one be interviewed by them.
The Defense Ministry building was heavily guarded, with armed police officers guarding the gates and barring anyone from entering without a pass, even a Venus reporter with a military background. Outside the cordon, the reporters anxiously shouted the name of the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, and loudly asked whether the news of Minister Zou's temporary resignation was true. The only answer to them was dead silence and the complicated eyes of the officers in the building.
No one from the Charter Square Management Office was interviewed, and the hurried members of Parliament Hill were collectively silent. The Presidential Residence even temporarily announced that the regular briefing that should have been held at 10 o'clock this morning will be suspended for a day.
The reporters, who had pinned all their hopes on the press briefing at the official residence, made extremely dissatisfied drum noises.
After the chaotic scene lasted for about a few minutes, the press secretary of the presidential residence lowered his head and whispered to Director Brin in the side porch, walked back to the stage, looked at the expectant journalists, and gave a very stingy one. explain. This explanation is very simple, but it is quite unexpected, and it has also produced countless rich and exciting imaginary pictures in the minds of journalists in the Federation.
Mr. President has a bad cold and needs to rest, so the news briefing will be temporarily suspended.
The reporters in the room were silent collectively. They lowered their heads and quickly recorded the statement of the press spokesman on the light screen of the workbench. At the same time, they frowned and drew various possibilities with electronic pens.
The reporters, knowing they would never be able to ask anything at the presidential mansion again, got up and rushed to the next government department that might be captured.
This kind of action continued until the evening. The reporters fought among the various buildings in the Capital Special Administrative Region, and finally successfully blocked Mr. Deputy Minister in front of the Ministry of Justice building. According to the latest information they have, the official residence has authorized the Deputy Minister. Sir, give a brief explanation to the major media about what happened last night until this morning.
"At 2:40 yesterday, in response to the terrorist incident on Parliament Hill a few days ago, the federal military successfully conducted a counter-terrorism exercise code-named "Shen Chun" in the surrounding area of Charter Square. Through this exercise, the federal military Various government departments have strengthened information exchange and matching with each other, rehearsed relevant plans to face similar terrorist attacks again, and gained a lot of valuable experience."
How can news of military exercises need to be announced by the Department of Justice? The reporters were keenly aware of this and realized that the government should let go today, and continued to ask unceremoniously: "Mr. Minister, we just want to know if the federal government is looking for Colonel Xu Le? In addition, Minister Zou Yingxing of the Ministry of National Defense is Haven't you been asked to resign?"
"Let me correct one point first. Minister Zou did not leave his post. He just went to the various strategic equipment bases of the Federation for inspection at the special request of Mr. President. Because of the upcoming summer battle in the Empire's homeland, the strategic equipment of the Federation is facing a difficult test, and the government needs to Excellent generals like Minister Zou lead the work overall."
The journalists naturally wouldn’t believe this statement, but since the official answer was given, all they needed to do was to interpret the answer. They took electronic pens to record quickly and waited silently for the one that they and the federal people were most concerned about. question.
"As for Colonel Xu Le," the Deputy Attorney General frowned, mulling over his words, and said slowly, "Yes, from a legal point of view, we can say that he is wanted by the federal government."
The Deputy Minister looked at the reporters and continued to explain: "Colonel Xu Le left the Xilin Region camp without permission. The military asked him to explain the situation, but he never reported it. In addition, according to the investigation by the Charter Bureau, Colonel Xu Le and There is a very close relationship between the dead suspects of the Parliament Hill terrorist attack, but he has not reported this to his superiors."
"Is this the whole reason for the arrest of Colonel Xu Le?" a reporter asked sharply.
"No." The Deputy Attorney General replied calmly: "I think you were all involved in that report at the time. The federal government once suspended the investigation into the relationship between Colonel Xu Le and the treasonous mechanic Yu Feng, but the Chartered Bureau has been in possession of these latest updates. After the situation, the federal central computer voluntarily activated the previous wanted program."
"This also means that unless Colonel Xu Le voluntarily surrenders, the arrest will continue."
It was confirmed that the Federation was looking for Xu Le—the hero and idol of the Federation who had just returned from the Empire some time ago. The reporters in front of the Ministry of Justice building fell into a state of shock and silence. The evening twilight struck diagonally from the end of the street. Some bloody meanings.
"As for what happened at the presidential residence, I don't know, and you don't have to ask me." The Deputy Minister of Justice smiled and said, "But I believe that if Colonel Xu Le is brought to justice and the judicial process reaches the point where the evidence is made public, then the entire The Commonwealth will know the truth of what happened."
Up and down the stone steps in silence, the well-informed and experienced reporters could hardly suppress their inner emotions and let out a chaotic shock!
There is no way they can write these words in the report, but they can keenly hear the hidden meaning behind these words. Could it be that the military operation last night and Mr. President, who is in poor health today, are related to the Is there that terrible connection between the wanted Colonel Xu Le
Reporter Wood has been standing quietly on the edge of the crowd. He was wearing a faux fur vest today, and the cigarette in his hand seemed to be burning all the time. He suddenly raised his hand.
Given the status of the Capital District Daily and Wood in the industry, when he raised his hand, the reporters who were immersed in the shocking discussion suddenly became quiet.
Wood frowned, took a deep breath of his cigarette, and asked, "Mr. Deputy Minister, may I ask if this wanted... has anything to do with Colonel Xu Le's press conference yesterday afternoon?"
The Deputy Minister of Justice looked at him silently, his eyes were cold, and he answered very simply and directly: "It doesn't matter."
The federal hero Colonel Xu Le has become a criminal wanted by the federal government. This news will probably cause countless shocking discussions in the federal society, or even more serious things. The journalists were either excited or thoughtful rushing to the record, but had no way of getting up close to the department they wanted to cover most, because that was the federal military.
In the new base office of the New 17th Armored Division on the outskirts of the capital, there was an extremely depressing and tense atmosphere. The head of the regiment, Herrey, squinted and stared at the director of the Special Warfare Room of the First Military Region in front of him, without flinching at all. It means that although the other party's military rank is far higher than his own, although the other party has military police with special powers, and although the other party holds the arrest document signed by the highest level of the military, he still does not want to give in.
"I don't care what you guys want to do, but this is my army. Those guys are my soldiers. If you want to arrest them, you must get my consent."
Colonel Herley's eyes narrowed into two dangerous slits, and Hua Xiaosi Linai and the others, who were standing behind him, also narrowed their eyes at the same time. It's amazing, probably every guy who spends too much time with Xu Le will be infected by his little actions. Whenever they encounter the greatest anger or the most terrifying danger, men's eyes will narrow and their eyelids will narrow. In the blink of an eye, everything in his eyes will be crushed to pieces in anger.
The director of the Special Warfare Office came with the military police with the arrest documents from the highest level of the military. He never thought that he was stopped in the office by the officers of the 17th Division before he saw the members of the 7th group.
"Colonel Herre, do you understand what you are doing at this time?"
The director of the special operations room stared into the eyes of the officers, and said coldly, "These officers under your command participated in a shocking rebellion last night. If you insist on disobeying the military order and returning to protect them, then maybe the next time When I come back, the target of the gendarmerie's arrest will be yourself."
