President Pabble glanced at the text message, deleted it with a blank face, then raised his head in silence, and refocused his attention on the live news broadcast on Parliament Hill.
The simple sentence in the text message revealed too much. He basically understood but didn't care. Under the current situation, the gentle woman who left Bermuda could no longer cause more trouble, and he didn't want to do more. .
Will there be complaints when I miss nostalgia and memories
Maybe, that woman is so smart and sensible, low-key and gentle, kind and considerate, and it is worth missing occasionally.
However, for Mr. President, who has a firm ideal and has spent his whole life working hard for it, a woman who is gentle and refreshing is just a woman after all, a small flower in the crevice of the cliff by the mighty river, and a striking eye-catcher under the splashed ink painting. One seal of cinnabar has nothing to do with the overall situation.
"Why can't the Little Eyes Special Forces and the three most elite commandos in the Federation catch Xu Le? You know that he is not on that weird spaceship now. I am very disappointed with your efficiency."
President Pabble turned off the intercom, looked at Director Brin beside him and said, "Keep an eye on this matter and report it immediately if there is any news."
Director Brin nodded, his face full of worry and said: "Mr. President, the most important issue now is on Parliament Hill, the President's Academic Foundation, the National Policy and Strategic Research Center and the staff in the think tank, who have already communicated with those few. Ten members have communicated, but until now, it is still unclear why they suddenly changed their voting intentions."
President Pabble waved his hand wearily and said, "No need."
There was a brief silence in the oval office of the official residence. Mr. President lightly rubbed his hairy eyebrows and quietly looked at the falling snow flakes outside the window, as if he was caught in some distant memories.
"George Carlin once famously said that the Qinglongshan rebels included it in their handouts. It was: Not only must justice be done, but in order to be convincing, it must be seen."
"The year I was elected president for the first time, in order to show the real justice of the federation to the people at the bottom who supported me, I disregarded the objections of all the staff, including you, and sent those dummies and celebrities of the Hong Kong Security Zone to Xilin. Sent to the front line, to Xu Le's subordinates."
"At that time, Xu Le was the successor personally selected by the military god, and only he could help me realize this wish, but even I did not expect that in such a short period of time, he could really turn those powerful children into real warriors. , became his most loyal team members, and even knowing that he was an Imperial man, those team members were willing to die for him."
President Pabble laughed at himself, looked at Director Brin and said, "It's so boring that I actually forgot what I did with my own hands. As a result, their parents dealt a heavy blow to the government at the most critical moment."
Director Brin was stunned and then remembered the incident back then, and finally understood why today's Parliament Hill looks so different from usual.
"Mr. President, the question that advisers are worried about now is whether Capitol Hill will build on the momentum of the veto of the Homeland Security Act to bring a case of impeachment."
He looked at President Pabble's dark and tired face and said worriedly.
Pabble said indifferently: "It only takes half of the bill to veto. The impeachment process is long and requires two-thirds of the members to collectively agree on one of the charges. I don't think those members can do such a difficult job."
The Homeland Security Act was voted down cleanly during the first reading process, and the Papai congressmen, who were obviously unprepared, stood up subconsciously and looked around, as if trying to identify who had voted against it.
This is the first time that Parliament Hill has successfully vetoed a bill proposed by the Pabble government since the mid-term elections. The scene that has not appeared in a long time has caused the bench to fall into a strange silence. It seems that everyone is a little uncomfortable.
Congressman Shao, chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Parliament, slowly stood up from the seat and said in an emotionless voice: "Based on the accusations made by Major Da Vinci of the New 17th Division and the materials submitted by Congressman Tai Zhiyuan, I propose to restart the investigation of the President. In accordance with the Charter, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, He Ying, is invited to preside over the proceedings of the impeachment deliberations."
"What did you say?"
"Miss Shao, are you crazy!"
"Please don't abuse your authority and waste federal material resources!"
Hearing the words of the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the Papai congressmen stood up in anger and waved their electronic pens to express their greatest protest. They stared at this senior congressman from Qixia Prefecture, like staring at the most shameful traitor.
The solemn and solemn Parliament Hill was attacked by foul language like a vegetable market, and the sound of the soles hitting the table and fists tearing the air was clearly heard.
Deputy Speaker Zion didn't seem to have heard these fierce objections at all. He tapped the hard pear board in front of him lightly, and after a little warning, he said with a blank face: "Now proceed to the first reading vote for the procedure review."
According to the charter, the federal parliament has the right to impeach the president, but even those who do not understand the rules can imagine that it must be an extremely difficult process to implement this right.
The first step in the standard impeachment process is for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to preside over the trial. As judges of the impeachment court, the entire assembly hears arguments from the prosecution and defense and testimony from relevant witnesses.
The chairman of the Judiciary Committee and representatives of the congressional members of the sponsor play the role of the prosecution, while the Presidential Residence has the duty of self-defense.
After the trial begins, the two sides each make two-hour statements, and then the relevant witnesses are called to testify. After the cross-examination of the witnesses and the end of the argument, the chief justice questions each member by name alphabetically on the impeachment charges.
At this time, members can only answer "guilty" or "not guilty." If more than two-thirds of the members answer "guilty" on any of the charges, the president will be impeached, and the vice president will take over as president. The impeached president will be barred from holding any public office for life. After ordinary civilian status, it will be tried by ordinary courts. (Note)
Before these processes, Parliament Hill must first pass the Judiciary Committee's impeachment proposal through the third reading vote. At this time, although only half of the lawmakers need to pass, it is often the most heated and entangled process of various procedural issues.
From this, we can clearly see what a long and torturous process it will be on Parliament Hill from proposing the impeachment proposal, to formally entering the court debate on the impeachment charges, and finally to the final result.
When Speaker Zion announced that he would enter the pre-procedure voting, there was a roar in the Parliament Hill, and members of all factions stood up one after another and attacked each other aggressively. Childish as a child.
The members of the parliament are all engaged in the warm-up battle like a boxing ring, and the staff in the members' offices have already begun to take action. They keep making phone calls, purchasing daily necessities including toiletries, and asking the members to The life assistants immediately fetched the most accustomed quilts of the members, while the most experienced members of the members' office immediately notified the members' favorite restaurants to prepare the ingredients for continuous takeout.
At the top of the rostrum, Deputy Speaker Zion drooped his eyelids and said softly: "Members, please be noisy now, but I want to remind you not to go out of Parliament Hill. Not enough ideas are impossible today.”
Deputy Speaker Zion slowly raised his head, looked at the anxious and embarrassed Papa MPs in their seats, and said, "Even if you can bribe the guards, I really want to know how you bribe tens of thousands of federal citizens outside. ."
Attractive games can always attract playful children to stay up all night and stay up all night, and the game of Parliament Hill, which may change history, will surely force those who are incapacitated due to old age, lust, alcohol or other reasons. Members of Congress, stay up all night and stay up all night.
If nothing else, this will surely be the longest parliamentary debate and vote in federal history, and no one will know what the final outcome will be until an MP says yes or no.
The entire federation and even the empire in the Zuotian Star Region are paying attention to Parliament Hill. Everyone wants to know the ending of this big drama. However, some people are very clear that the so-called ending will definitely not happen here, such as Xu Le.
The seven groups that directly and indirectly caused the current tension in the Federation disappeared without a trace after completing the raid on the Spring City Sanatorium. They were not visible in any news media, and only a very few people knew about the secrets of the Federation in the past late night. How many life-and-death battles have happened between the special forces and them.
The black car without any signs was driving at high speed between the steep mountain roads. Whether it was a ramp or a dangerous sharp turn, it seemed that it could not slow down the speed of the black car. The hard tires made a violent friction sound with the soil surface. The wind and dust rushed forward, and it seemed to be more powerful than the most advanced off-road vehicles.
Confirming through the on-board radar light curtain that the three armed helicopters had been thrown away, Liu Jiao slammed the steering wheel, parked the black car accurately in the pine forest on the side of the road, took off his hat and wiped his face vigorously.
"Boss, where are we going next?" he asked.
Xu Le in the back seat didn't answer his question immediately, picked up the car's encrypted phone, wedged into a certain frequency band, and asked in a low voice, "Big Bear, how is your situation?"
No one answered, Xu Le's brows furrowed.
Although Charter Guanghui could not threaten the actions of the Seven Groups for the time being, this was after all in the hinterland of the Federation. Numerous powerful government agencies were dispatched at the same time. Shortly after rubbing shoulders with Zhang Xiaohua in that convenience store, he was stared at.
For the past whole day and night, he has been dealing with those fierce special forces. If it wasn't for this black car, if it wasn't for Liu Jiao who was driving, maybe he would have been surrounded by the other party more than ten hours ago.
At this time, Xiong Linquan's panting voice finally sounded in the call frequency band.
"We are retreating! The scumbags of the Seventh Iron Division! I can't wait to put the infrared sentry on the fucking old moon! We have been discovered!"
"Repeat, we're pulling back!"
Xu Le's eyes narrowed, reconfirming that although Du Shaoqing was already the commander of the Federation, the Tie Qi Division was still the terrifying Tie Qi Division that year.
"Evacuate all!" He gave the order without hesitation, and said quickly: "Don't leave any eagle eyes, pay attention, don't leave any of them."
He believed that under the current situation, it would be impossible for the Seventh Tie Division to leave the garrison area to pursue pursuit, and then asked, "How are you doing, Yan Bingyan?"
After a while, a rude voice sounded in the frequency band: "Boss, the three of us are in circles with the Snow Leopard Commando. Those bastards are not very good, but the equipment is so fucking advanced, we can't stand it anymore!"
Xu Le stretched out his hand to call up the on-board electronic map, looked at a spot of light in it, and said, "From your coordinates, go straight in at a 32-degree west angle at full speed. Be sure to get out before the other side is surrounded, get on the train in Taikang, and take the high-speed train. Go to the Golden Fleet Club in the capital of South Carolina, and there will be someone there."
After a pause, he said, "As long as you walk into the nightclub alive, you'll have accomplished your task. You've worked hard."
One hundred and seventy kilometers south of the capital is the newest garrisoned camp of the Seventh Iron Division. Opposite the barracks is the rolling Qiufu Mountains. The mountain range is not high here, and it gradually extends to the rear to the surrounding area of Philadelphia, before it suddenly becomes a snow-covered peak.
The black car parked like a ghost in a dense forest somewhere deep in the mountain ridge. Xu Le carried a black box and a heavy marching rucksack to get out of the car, hugged Liu Jiao heavily, and then separated.
It took him nearly two hours to wade out a road that no one had ever traveled from the steepest cliff, and silently hid to the top of the mountain opposite the military camp.
Behind a certain grey stone on the summit, Xu Le mobilized the scorching power behind his waist and slowly closed his eyes, recalling the feeling of the tens of millions of tons of the imperial imperial spaceship under the water back then, making the traces of true energy into every cell.
The tick tick second hand moves.
His breathing gradually slowed over time, his heart rate dropped below sixteen beats per minute, and his body temperature became lower and lower.
In addition to the observation posts stipulated by regulations, there are many infrared detectors hidden in the mountains and forests around the barracks.
But at this time, the infrared detectors that found Xiong Linquan and other team members could no longer find Xu Le outside the big rock at the top of the peak, because in the infrared imaging, Xu Le's body had turned into a real stone at this time.
The heavy black box was opened, the ACW was quickly assembled successfully, the thick hollow barrel protruded from the crack in the stone, and the large-caliber bullet with the original tungsten alloy tail was loaded.
Xu Le was half lying under the boulder, trying his best to control the rhythm of his body to prevent the body temperature from rising, and gently turned the red touch button with his right thumb.
With the movement of the touch button, the ACW aimed at the miniature light screen and the picture of the Tieqi Division's camp at the foot of the mountain appeared. The high-multiplier equipment clearly showed the resolute faces of the soldiers of the Tieqi Division. There were countless rows of barracks, and smoke and dust were rising. The military MX mech group that did not stop training at night.
Xu Le looked at the ever-changing picture on the miniature light screen, and saw the faint willow white in the distance of the military camp, and found that the first ray of morning light had already fallen on him, and his eyes couldn't help narrowing.
Many years ago, during the graduation Japanese military exercise, he controlled the MX mecha half-squatting on the peak to bathe in the morning light, overlooking the camp of the Seventh Iron Division.
At that time, his opponent was the Guard Battalion of the Seventh Tie Division. What he had to do was to find the battalion headquarters and defeat Ximen Jin. But today his opponent is the entire Seventh Iron Division. What he has to do is: find Du Shaoqing and kill him.
