Standing next to the clock fireworks is the expressionless Tian Dabangzi, both of them are wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and behind them are dozens of Xilin officers in neat federal uniforms.
Zhou Jin, the commander of the seventh brigade, walked to the front of the queue, saluted with a snap, and then left, followed by the burly battalion commander of the guard battalion Wang Meng. These Xilin soldiers who swore to protect the Zhong family with their blood and blood, were in the entire federation. In front of the people, they lead the way.
Many years ago, a certain ancestor of the Xilin Zhong family left a famous saying for the whole federation when the situation was turbulent like today: the federal people do not fight the federal people, but today these Xilin soldiers with resolute expressions show them to the whole federation. The attitude seems to be the exact opposite of that sentence.
Will this begin the first civil war in the Commonwealth? Will Xilin, who has been separated from the capital star circle for thousands of years, ignore the charter and declare independence
If it is an old man with a sullen expression who leads Xilin local to make the strongest voice to the capital star circle, the federal society and the media will definitely start to criticize him immediately, and put countless hats on this person as a heartless ambition, bloodthirsty and murderous conspirator. .
But what appeared in front of the whole universe was an orphan girl whose parents had died. At a time when most people began to believe in the special issue of the Capital District Daily and believed that the explosion of the ancient bell was a conspiracy of the federal government, facing the poor and helpless An orphan, it is difficult for anyone to link her to a careerist and conspirators, and no one can blame her in the name of morality.
On the contrary, the people sympathized with her and pity her, so after the Xilin Declaration came out, anti-government demonstrations gradually spread throughout the federation, with two more contents: opposing the civil war and asking the government to give Xilin justice.
The Governor of Qixia Prefecture arrived in the Capital Territory in a special car, opened a very long light curtain on Charter Square, and was arrested for violating the traffic law. The Governor did not resist, because this was his plan, he believed When the people of Qixia Prefecture saw pictures of themselves being handcuffed, more people would definitely leave the apartment building and take to the streets.
In order to cope with the situation in Xilin and the increasingly tense atmosphere, all ground troops stationed in the Third Military Region in S3 began to prepare for the battle. However, when a mecha division asked the Yashan General Assembly Base to distribute relevant components, there was no response.
The Yashan General Assembly Base is the largest logistics material distribution base in the Federation. The garrisoned troops at the base have increased their security level. The two huge and heavy alloy doors are slowly closing, and countless heavy firepower bases are ready to shoot at the outside world.
In the conference room of the base, several federal generals did not hesitate to reject the fourth deployment request of the Third Military Region. In the dimly lit front desk, the idle general who was relieved of his post as Minister of Defense three years ago and assigned to the final assembly base turned around. Looking at his loyal subordinates, he said calmly: "The army really shouldn't have its own thoughts, but the charter is above, the federal troops... don't fight civil wars. The current Federation is already in turmoil, do we need an imperial help to get back on track? As a federal soldier, I can't afford to lose face, we must save ourselves."
With the tough stance of the Qinglong Mountain anti-government army and the Xilin Zhong family, the terrifying shadow of the civil war spread like a cloud of lead in the sky. The invisible and powerful pressure made many people silently change their attitudes.
Many of the Tiezhong people who support the government have become silent, and the remnants of the three major trade unions in the four states around the mountain, Ripapur, are no longer as aggressive and aggressive as they were in previous days. .
After a night of intense debate on Parliament Hill, the procedural bargaining finally ended, three process votes were completed, and the impeachment process was officially entered.
Seeing the pictures on the news, the silent marching people waiting in front of the Federal Television Station in front of the Parliament Hill burst into the most excited cheers and screams. In sharp contrast, the presidential residence in the snowstorm was silent.
This is not the first time that President Pabble has been impeached, but the last time the impeachment proposal proposed by Tai Zhiyuan did not pass the first reading of the procedure, and ended bleakly. Who would have thought that today's impeachment has really entered the final stage.
The staff in the presidential residence had complex expressions, and felt that the wind and snow outside the window seemed to have overcome the indoor constant temperature system, and the surrounding environment suddenly became cold.
"The evidence is still being submitted, and the prosecution and defense will have a two-hour speech and self-defense time later. The defense lawyers and relevant personnel of the Ministry of Justice have arranged."
In the Oval Office, Director Brin looked nervously at Mr. President by the window, and his voice became a little hoarse and uneasy.
"According to the judgments of foundations, research labs, and think tanks, as well as the attitudes of congressmen obtained by telephone interviews, we now have 41% of the iron votes in our hands. In theory, there is no possibility of passing the impeachment proposal."
"All stories will become irrelevant to probability in the end. What is theoretically impossible will often end up being the most real harm."
President Pabble replied, then raised his arm for him to leave.
The Oval Office was empty.
Mr. President poured a glass of wine, sat on the sofa by the window, sipped slowly, lit another cigarette, and was silent for a long time while looking at the cloud of snow and lead outside the window.
A child of a Donglin miner was very lucky to come to the capital star circle, and then he became a lawyer, a public interest lawyer, a poor lawyer, a stupid lawyer who almost could no longer practice, and then he became one of the three majors. The legal adviser of the guild, the darling of the liberal media, a ray of fresh air in the federal political circle, and finally became the most powerful man in the federal government.
The turning point of this legendary life was a big drunk in a tavern. After that, Pabble rarely drank and never smoked a cigarette.
"You used to have nothing, so what qualifications do you have to be low and lost today? Do you want to watch the Federation be led into the abyss of despair by corrupt politicians, greedy families, and soldiers who are willing to fight civil wars? No, Pabble, you must stand Get up, it's time for you to make a decision!"
The dark-cheeked man stood up, stared coldly at the wind and snow outside the window, suddenly slammed the wine glass to the ground, and turned around.
The first lady stood silently by the door, her eyes moving from the glass pieces on the ground to his face, her eyes were full of worry and anxiety, as well as a touch of sadness and loss.
"I'm not for myself, I'm not for power, I'm for the federation."
"You should know how much I love this Commonwealth."
President Pabble pursed his lips in pain, went to the desk to meet his wife's gaze, picked up the phone and dialed the numbers he needed to dial.
The thick snow cloud is heavy with lead and ash, but it still cannot completely block the sunlight from the atmosphere. The morning light has already become a bright light covering the surrounding fields. It is precisely because the light is omnipresent that people often forget their existence.
Xu Le, whose body was stiff, lay quietly under the boulder like a stone man, and monitored the movement of the military camp opposite the mountain through the miniature light curtain beside his face.
After observing at the summit for a long time, he still did not find the barracks where Du Shaoqing might be. In fact, because of the distance, he had to wait until the other party left the barracks if he wanted to kill Du Shaoqing.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the heartbeat, which had been forcibly lowered by the infuriating energy, jumped rapidly at this moment, and then returned to a gentle level.
Opposite the mountains, there was some movement in the quarters of the Seventh Iron Division.
From the outside, those layered barracks, those mechs covered like statues under tarpaulins, did not look any different from before. It's just that the right foundation valve of the warehouse on the west side is open, and at the same time, the movement of people in the logistics camp seems to be denser.
Xu Le had been in the federal army for too long. He knew that the valve on the right foundation was opened to clean up the water needed by the energy injection equipment in the warehouse. The intensive movement of personnel in the logistics camp showed that this was not a routine action. The energy injection equipment in the warehouse is under the ground and is responsible for replenishing energy for the military mecha.
Through these details, he immediately judged that the Seventh Iron Division was preparing for battle, and the situation he least wanted to face was finally inevitable!
Sure enough, countless low-pitched humming mecha self-checks sounded in the Tie 7th Division's barracks, and these sounds became extremely dull and shocking in one place.
Xu Le squinted his eyes and stared at the picture on the miniature light screen. After a while, he saw more than one hundred black military MX mechas, lined up at high speed like more than one hundred killing gods, and then drove in three directions. out of the station.
Noticing that the mecha group of the Seventh Tie Division kept the queue extremely cautiously, while the mecha group closest to the mountain quickly spread out, expanding the monitoring area, Xu Le's pupils shrank, and his rigid body became even more rigid.
The MX mecha SCC global monitoring system was designed by Shang Qiu. Even with his eyes closed, he could figure out how wide an area these Iron Seventh Division mechas spread out to the bottom of the mountain range could monitor. This area has just arrived here. A few meters below the boulder, which also meant he couldn't get any closer to the road.
More than a dozen dark green bulletproof military vehicles slowly drove out from the station of the Tieqi Division. Xu Le stared at a military vehicle in the middle, staring at the face that was still indistinguishable under the ACW terror aiming magnifier, as if he saw that pair. Sunglasses and the grim glacier look on his face that has been the same for thousands of years.
Du Shaoqing must be in that military vehicle. The problem is that the distance between the giant rock and the road is too far away, which is beyond the effective shooting distance of ACW, and if Xu Le tries to sneak down to get close to the shooting distance, he will immediately alert the ten men at the bottom of the mountain. Several powerful and terrifying mechas.
This is the Seventh Iron Division. The seemingly mediocre mecha formation can provide perfect protection for the core area, and Xu Le firmly believes that with the terrible military accomplishment of the Seventh Iron Division, it is 170 kilometers away from the Capital Special Administrative Region. On the way, there will never be any loopholes in the opponent's mecha defense.
Looking at the scattered group of heavy mechas, the silent guard convoy drove onto the highway, Xu Le licked his lips, and couldn't help but wonder if the other party noticed something.
At this time, he was faced with a difficult choice. If he was just a cold-blooded killer, he would definitely choose to pick up ACW and leave quietly, and then find a more suitable time to shoot.
But he is not a killer, what he has to do is to prevent Du Shaoqing and his Seventh Iron Division from entering the capital, he has no way to wait any longer.
At this moment, the phone in his arms suddenly vibrated.
