Chapter 7: Before Dawn

I wrote it fast yesterday, there were two conspicuous mistakes, headaches, I really checked it twice as soon as I wrote it, but I didn't find it, I'm really sorry. I will continue to see the house tomorrow, there is too little time, please understand, I wish you a happy weekend. )

......

......

The convoy with conspicuous military license plates drove toward the west like a group of ghosts on the streets of the capital in the middle of the night. If it was daytime, passers-by would have noticed the identity and status represented by the convoy, and at this time, there were occasional workers driving self-cleaning trucks on the street, seeing those military vehicles from afar, and subconsciously stepping on the brakes and watching the convoy roar all the way.

Zou Yingxing did not sit in the special car of the former defense minister, but sat in the bulletproof military vehicle of General Myers. The two important figures of the federal military, staring ahead, spoke in a calm tone, discussing something.

"You and I know better than anyone what the pen in front of Mr. President means, no matter why Xu Le went to kill Medellín, but if he did it, it means that he has made a great contribution to the Federation. And he is also one of the developments of the MX mecha, and more importantly, in the eyes of those of us who are soldiers, if this little guy dies like this, it will be a big loss for the Federation. ”

Admiral Myers's eyebrows were shining under the sparkle of the night light, and he could vaguely see a few traces of white inside, he frowned, and said with a smile: "That video, the War Research Office of the Military Region has been analyzing it for a long time, and those who have been engaged in exercises have been studying and judging recently. How many times have you seen it?"

"Once. Minister Zou replied quietly: "It involves federal secrets, and if you read it too many times, the secrecy will be reduced." ”

Admiral Miles laughed, looked at him slightly and said, "After so many years, you are still so cautious, you have thrown the video into the training base, what are you still hiding in front of me?"

Minister Zou shook his head with a smile and did not speak.

"Federal soldiers. Iron-blooded. Suddenly, there is such a cautious and self-contained person as you. Partiality put you in the position of Minister of Defense. I'm afraid that many people in the army can't imagine it. Admiral Miles looked sideways at him. "But I always remember," he said slowly. At the time of the second expedition of that year. If it weren't for you to let the fleet force the landing. My army is all over. ”

"You were wielding that self-defeating pistol on the intercom. Roar at the fleet. If the fleet does not come down again. You're going to kill everyone in the logistics base...... In this case. How dare I disobey you?"

Minister Zou said lightly. Just a few simple words. He pulled these two soldiers back to the battlefield a long time ago. At that time, Admiral Miles. is already a powerful figure in the military and local forces in a certain aspect. And Zou Yingxing is just a chief officer in logistics. The status of the two sides is very different. No one thought of it. So many years have passed. The two of them are already military bosses on an equal footing.

More critically. I'm afraid that even President Pabur and the lady could not have predicted it. These two bigwigs of the federal military have had very little contact over the years. But privately related. But it's so harmonious.

Admiral Miles sat up straight. said coldly: "Let's get down to business." Xu Le is an active-duty soldier after all. How could it be just at the hands of those guys? In order to hide the truth. Let our sons be scapegoats?"

"If this little guy can be polished in the army for a few years. In the future, in the war with the Empire. It's bound to shine. ”

Admiral Miles thought of the surveillance footage of the Foundation building that he had seen many times, unbuttoned the collar of his military uniform, and sighed: "How many years have there been such a fierce guy......? You say, can the local division master do it back then?"

The division commander he was talking about was naturally the commander of the 17th Armored Division many years ago, and now Lord Li Pifu, the god of the Federation Army.

"Of course the division commander is fine. Admiral Myers immediately overturned his previous doubts and said slowly: "But in the future great war, do you still expect the division commander to go out of the mountain in person? Aren't we people ashamed to die?"

Zou Yingxing listened quietly all the time, without interjecting a word, only occasionally looking at the quiet street outside the window, a few glimmers of luster flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared quickly.

"If I'm not mistaken, that girl in your house seems to be his...... In this case, you are still so cautious that you refuse to come forward?" Admiral Miles leaned back in his chair and began to close his eyes.

Zou Yingxing smiled slightly, didn't explain anything, and a hug with the little guy in that cemetery doomed both parties to carry a few black-painted pots for each other.

Admiral Myers didn't hear Zou Yingxing's voice, and he didn't think it was strange, he knew that this guy started all the way from logistics, and he has always been cautious and solemn in the army, and he will never express his opinions and opinions easily, even if he is now the defense minister of the Federation, this temperament has not changed.

He closed his eyes and said slowly: "Xu Le is a talent, he can't die." ”

......

......

On the top floor of the headquarters building of Sanlin Union Bank, the pure glass dome and side walls are as dazzling as a diamond in the dark night.

The old man of the Li family, the head of the Li family, still wore the little black hat, and sat on the old-fashioned chair unbearably. It is in stark contrast to the spacious and luxurious office environment on the top floor of the bank's president.

He put down the phone in his hand, and the wrinkles on his face did not stretch out, but squeezed into weathered stone layer-like lines, dense and full of heaviness.

"The meeting at the official residence has ended, and Councillor Medellín has been confirmed as a spy for the Empire. Li Yuan Gong took off the small hat on his head, curled the corners of his drooping lips self-deprecatingly, and said in a slow voice: "This matter is really wonderful, our Li family intervened in the presidential election for the first time, and the result was to support an imperial person. ”

There is never an absolute secret in the Federation, and an absolute secret like Medellin's true identity may only circulate in a small circle of a few dozen people forever, but it can never be hidden from the heads of the seven families of the Federation, because they are all members of this small circle all their lives.

Li Xiuzhu was like a child who made a mistake, standing in front of the old father with his head bowed, half-bent on his waist, his face was pale, and his flower-like face seemed to wither, and after hearing his father's words, his body was deeper.

"Mr. Pabur is a very wise man, and he will not expose this matter, so that all the people who have supported Medellin, including our family, will be embarrassed and ugly. The old man of Liyuan Palace coughed lightly twice, and said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, Mr. Medellin has deceived the entire Federation, not to mention you and me, don't put your own ability."

High. ”

"Understood, father. Li Xiuxiu bowed his head and replied, and then he asked, "Xu Le has been missing for five months, and according to intelligence, Medellin's death should be related to him." ”

"Medellín...... is an admirable guy, but he was killed by Xu Le like this by such a person. The old man of Liyuan Palace slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the office, "In a sense, he is a hero of the Federation, but it is a pity that he can only be a terrorist forever, nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and then die." ”

"Father?"

Li Xiuzhu hadn't seen Xu Le a few times, and as a figure on the Federal Pyramid, he shouldn't have paid too much attention to that little person, but the practice of more than a year has proved that that little person has a destructive power that no one can imagine. He was very wary of Xu Le's existence, but even if the coldness in his heart was no longer strong, when he heard his father's words at this time, he still couldn't stop being stunned, a young man who had made great contributions to the Federation could only usher in such a bleak end?

"If you look at Medellin's death, you can see that the young man is too unreasonable and ruthless...... The federal system cannot tolerate such a single-handed figure. Li Yuangong slowly walked out of the office, and the old voice echoed in the empty room, and the words were heartfelt.

"With your own will, you can kill people at will, and you have the terrifying ability to kill, if such a person is kept, how many people in the Federation will not be able to sleep well? The same is true for you, a useless father...... Just think about it, one day in the future, that Xu Le suddenly thinks that I should die, and he will come to kill me, how should I live?"

......

......

Medellín is a remarkable character, but such a great character died in his own base camp at the hands of Xu Le for no reason.

This fact has amazed some in the Federation and regarded him as a hero. But more bigwigs, while rejoicing in the safety of the Federation, felt an unprecedented chill for him, and wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

There is a saying in the ancient federal proverb that the puppet is angry and the world is bleeding, and now the old man Li Pifu is enjoying the scenery on the shore of the lake in Philadelphia, but suddenly there is another puppet, and this young puppet is not paying attention to the rules!

Just like the self-deprecating comment of the old man of the Li family, such a person, since he has made a contribution to the Federation by mistake, and then survives or releases, he can only represent danger.

Except for the federal military, which has been silent, everyone, including the government cabinet, the Parliament Hill insider, and those big families, don't want to see Xu Le alive or released. They watched in silence as the Federation hid the story of Medellín, coldly waiting for Xu Le to be recognized as a terrorist and then die.

As long as this "little person" dies, the world will return to the normal track, hello me, everyone is good, and the Federium will have a better tomorrow. It's just that this is such a despicable and sad situation for Xu Le and Shi Qinghai.

......

......

Mochou Houshan Manor.

Shen Li rubbed his eyebrows, finished processing the urgent documents that needed to be processed today, and then noticed that the email address in the lower right corner was flickering, he opened the mailbox with a frown, looked at the words on it, and still couldn't make up his mind for a long time, after thinking for a while, he got up and tidied up his clothes, bypassed the long corridor, and walked up to the third floor.

Outside the huge kitchen on the third floor, Shen Li took the document in his hand, looked at the back of the lady, and said softly: "Magnolia wants to come back, he has a comrade-in-arms who will get married next month, and he doesn't want to miss it." ”

The sharp knife in Mrs. Tai's hand, who was cutting onions, paused on the cutting board, and after a while, she said indifferently: "This is a trivial matter, you can handle it yourself." ”

"I'm worried that if he comes back, he might run into Xu Le. Secretary Shen said in a low voice.

Mrs. Tai did not answer, and continued the movement of her hand, the sharp knife chopped the onion into minced pieces, and she wore delicate goggles on her eyes, so she did not shed tears, and her face was indifferent.

No one could understand her anger, her gloomy mood.

Xu Le was the little one she had propped up, but when she was as uncontrolled as the man she had been so many years ago, she felt like a favorite toy, and once again tried to jump out of her windowsill and let the cars run over her.

This kind of déjà vu situation touched her sad soul in childhood, so she would not allow Xu Le to live, and no one could change this fact.

Madame didn't bother to pay attention to the differences of opinion within the government, and she didn't bother to think about who transported Xu Le from the fox fortress back to the military prison on the ground, and who put the video on the training base to build up the military's interest in Xu Le.

It has nothing to do with Medellín's death, she holds Xu Le's biggest handle in her hands, and as long as she wants, Xu Le will definitely die. It's just that she can still take a look and see who those who are stirring the waves are.

Secretary Shen understood the sound of his wife cutting onions, and knew that Xu Le would never be able to come out of the military prison alive, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and left, sighing softly in his heart.

......

......

Xu Le didn't know that he was constantly switching between the two completely different identities of a federal hero and a terrorist, and he didn't have the consciousness that life and death were tied to the line. In the Allure Military Prison in the wasteland, he often squinted at the dead grass growing wildly outside the window, and from time to time lowered his head and rubbed the bracelet on his wrist, waiting for a moment.

Uncle taught him that he should never pin his life and death on others, so even though Xu Songzi brought some obscure information a few days ago, letting him know that outside the military prison, some people were trying to get him out alive, but he still carried out his plan firmly and silently.

It's a pity that the guards in Allure Prison are too strict, and that omnipotent old thing, about his naughty request to help him escape from prison, is always silent.

The reason why he had to take a great risk to escape from prison was because Xu Le knew that the lady was going to die by herself, and that lady knew her biggest secret, a secret that could break the glory of the federal charter, and anyone who had this secret had to die, even if he was the president of the Federation, it was impossible to be an exception.

The sharp pain under the skin made Xu Le wake up from his thoughts, the blood foam in his lips was slightly sweet, and his blurred vision focused on it for a long time, and he saw the indifferent FBI official in front of him clearly.

It was in the interrogation room, and he was under scrutiny by the FBI, an extraordinarily horrific scrutiny.

The FBI officer turned up the current, watched the spikes under the skin of Xu Le's chest keep beating, ** bloodshot, and asked with a smile, "When did you join the army?"
