Chapter 373: Wind and Rain (3)
Standing next to Zhong Yan Huā was an expressionless Tian Da stick, both of whom were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, while behind him stood dozens of Xilin officers dressed as straight federal officers.
Zhou Jin, the commander of the Seventh Brigade, walked to the queue, saluted with a snap, and then left, followed by the burly Guards Battalion Commander Wang Meng, these Xilin soldiers who swore to protect the Zhong family with their lives and blood, were ordered to go in front of the eyes of the people of the whole Federation.
Many years ago, when a certain ancestor of the Xilin Zhong family was in the midst of ups and downs at that time, he once left a famous saying for the whole Federation: The Federation people do not fight the Federation, but today, the attitude shown to the whole Federation by these resolute Xilin soldiers seems to be diametrically opposed to that sentence.
Will the First Civil War of the Federation Begin? Will Xilin, who has been inseparable from the star circle of the capital for thousands of years, ignore the charter and declare independence?
If it were an old man with a gloomy expression who led the strongest voice in the Celestial Circle of the Capital, the federal society and the media would certainly immediately begin to criticize him, and put on countless hats of a mad careerist and a bloodthirsty conspirator.
But what appeared in front of the whole universe was an orphan girl whose parents had died, and at a time when most people began to believe in the special issue of the Capital District newspaper and believed that the explosion of the ancient bell was a conspiracy of the Federation, in the face of that poor orphan girl, it was difficult for anyone to connect her with the careerist conspirator, and no one could condemn her in the name of morality.
On the contrary, the people sympathized with her and pitied her, so after the Xilin Declaration came out, the anti-zhèngfǔyóuxíng of the whole federation gradually spread, with two more contents: opposing the civil war and demanding that the zhèngfǔ give Xilin a justice.
Qi Xia just arrived in the capital d.C. by special car, unfurled an extremely long light curtain banner on the charter Guang Chǎng, and then was arrested for violating the traffic law, Mr. Governor did not do anything to resist, because this was his plan, he believed that when the people of Qi Xia Prefecture saw the picture of themselves being handcuffed, more people would definitely leave the apartment building and walk on Jiē's head.
In order to cope with the situation in Xilin and the increasingly tense atmosphere, the troops stationed in the Third Military Region of S began to prepare intensively for war, but when a certain all-mecha division asked the Yashan General Assembly Base to distribute relevant components, it did not receive a response.
The Yashan General Assembly Base is the largest logistics material distribution base in the Federation, the garrison troops of the base have increased their security level, two huge and heavy alloy doors are slowly closed, and countless heavy firepower groups are ready to shoot at the outside world at any time.
In the conference room of the base, several federal generals did not hesitate to reject the fourth deployment request of the Third Military Region, and in the dimly lit front desk, the idle general Jūn, who was relieved of his post as Minister of Defense three years ago and assigned to the general assembly base, turned around and looked at his loyal subordinates and said calmly: "It is true that the army should not have its own mind, but the charter is above, and the federal forces are ...... Do not fight civil wars. Now that the Federation is in turmoil, do we need the help of an Imperialist to get back on track? As a member of the Federation, I can't afford to lose this face, we must save ourselves. ”
......
......
With the tough stance of Qinglongshan's anti-zhèngfǔ army and Xilin Zhongjia, the terrifying shadow of the civil war spread around like a lead cloud in the sky, and that invisible and powerful pressure made many people silently change their attitudes.
Many of the people who supported the Tiezhong faction had become silent, the remnants of the three major trade unions in the four prefectures of the Huanshan Mountains were no longer as aggressive and aggressive as the previous ones, and some parliamentarians began to wonder where Kǎo was headed.
After a night of heated debate, Parliament Hill finally ended the procedural bargaining, completed three process votes, and officially entered the impeachment process.
In stark contrast to the silence of the marching crowd waiting in front of federal television on Parliament Hill, the most excited cheers and screams erupted in the footage on the news, in stark contrast to the silence of the president in the snowstorm.
This is not the first time that President Pabur has been impeached, but the last impeachment proposal put forward by Tai Zhiyuan did not even pass the first reading of the procedure, and it ended miserably.
The staff members in the presidential office had mixed expressions, feeling that the wind and snow outside the window seemed to have overcome the indoor thermostatic system, and the surrounding environment suddenly became cold.
"At present, the evidence is still being submitted, and later there will be a two-hour self-defense time for the prosecution and defense, which has been arranged by the defense lawyer and relevant personnel of the Ministry of Justice. ”
In the Oval Office, Director Brin looked at Mr. President by the window with a nervous expression, and his voice became a little hoarse and uneasy.
"According to the research and judgment of the foundation, the research office and the think tank, as well as the attitude of the congressmen who received the telephone call, we now have 41 percent of the iron votes in our hands, and theoretically there is no possibility of the impeachment proposal passing. ”
"All stories have to be about probability in the end, and what is theoretically impossible often turns out to be the most real harm in the end. ”
President Pabur replied, then raised his arm to signal 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 looked out the window at the clouds of snow and lead for a long time in silence.
A son of a Donglin miner, extremely lucky to come to the Capital Star Circle, then became a lawyer, a public interest lawyer, a poor lawyer, a stupid lawyer who almost never practiced law again, and then he became a lawyer consultant of the three major guilds, the darling of the zìyoú faction media, a breath of fresh air in the federal political circle, until finally became the most powerful man in the federation.
The turning point in this legendary life was a drunken drunken episode in a tavern, and since then, Pabul has rarely drunk and never smoked a cigarette again.
"You once had nothing, so what right do you have to be depressed and lost today? Do you want to watch the Federation be led into the abyss of despair by rotten politicians, greedy families, and soldiers who do not hesitate to fight a civil war? No, Pabul, you must stand up, and it is time for you to make a decision!"
The dark-cheeked man stood up, stared coldly at the wind and snow outside the window, and suddenly slammed the wine glass to the ground, and then turned around.
The first Fū man was silent by the door, his eyes moving from the glass on the ground to his face, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness, and a faint sadness of loss.
"I'm not for myself, I'm not for power, I'm for the Union. ”
"You should know how much I love this Federation. ”
President Pabul pursed his lips in pain, met his wife's gaze and walked to his desk, picked up the phone and dialed the numbers he needed to dial.
......
......
The thick snow clouds are heavy and lead-gray, but they still can't completely block the sunlight from the big hairy layer, and the morning light has long since turned into a brightness that envelops the four fields, and it is precisely because the light is everywhere that people often forget their existence.
Xu Le, whose body was stiff, lay quietly under the boulder like a stone man, monitoring the movements of the military camp on the other side of the mountain range through the miniature light curtain next to his face.
After observing for a long time in Zhengding, he still didn't find the barracks where Du Shaoqing might be, in fact, because the distance was too far, he had to wait until the other party walked out of the barracks if he wanted to snipe Du Shaoqing.
Suddenly, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his heartbeat, which had been forcibly lowered by True Qi, beat rapidly at this moment, and then returned to a smooth level.
On the other side of the mountain range, there was some movement in the garrison of the Iron Seventh Division.
From the outside, the layers of barracks, the mechs covered in a rainproof cloth like statues, did not look the same as before. It's just that the valve on the right foundation of the warehouse on the west side is open, and at the same time, the movement of personnel in the logistics camp seems to be more dense.
Xu Le had been in the federal army for too long, and he knew that the right foundation valve was opened to clean the water needed for the energy injection equipment in the warehouse, and the logistics camp personnel were intensively moving, indicating that this was not a routine action. The energy injection equipment in the warehouse is under the ground and is responsible for replenishing the energy of the military mecha.
Through these details, he immediately judged that the Iron Seventh Division was preparing for battle, and the situation he least wanted to face was finally inevitable!
Sure enough, countless muffled humming mecha self-inspection sounds sounded in the barracks of the Iron Seventh Division, and these sounds became extremely dull and shocking when they converged in one place.
Xu Le squinted his eyes and stared at the picture on the miniature light curtain, and after a while, he saw more than a hundred black military MX mechas, lined up at high speed like more than a hundred slaughtering gods, and then drove out of the station in three directions.
Noticing that the mecha group of the Iron Seventh Division was extremely cautious in maintaining the queue, while the mecha group closest to the direction of the mountain range quickly dispersed and expanded the monitoring area, Xu Le's eyes shrank, and his stiff body became even stiffer.
The MX Mecha SCC Global Monitoring System was designed by Shang Qiu, and even with his eyes closed, he could calculate how vast an area these Iron Seventh Division mechs that spread out towards the bottom of the mountain range could monitor, and this area had just reached a few meters below the boulder, which also meant that he couldn't get closer to the road.
More than a dozen dark green bulletproof military vehicles slowly drove out of the garrison of the Iron Seventh Division, Xu Le stared at a certain military vehicle in the middle, staring at the face that was still blurry and indistinguishable under the ACW horror aiming magnifier, as if he saw the pair of sunglasses and the cold glacial expression on that face that had been the same for thousands of years.
Du Shaoqing must have been on that military vehicle, the problem was that the distance between the boulder and the road at this time was too far beyond the effective firing range of ACW, and if Xu Le tried to sneak down to get close to the firing distance, he would definitely immediately alarm the dozen or so terrifying mecha at the bottom of the mountain range.
This is the Iron Seventh Division, a seemingly mediocre mecha formation, but it can provide perfect protection for the core area, and Xu Le firmly believes that with the terrible military quality of the Iron Seventh Division, on the 170-kilometer journey to the Capital Special Administrative Region, there will definitely be no loopholes in the opponent's mecha arming Looking at the scattered heavy mecha group, the silent arch guard convoy drove onto the road, Xu Le licked his lips, and couldn't help but wonder if the other party had noticed something.
At this time, he was faced with a difficult choice, if he was just a cold-blooded killer, then he would definitely choose to pick up ACW quietly and leave, and then find a more suitable time to open qiāng.
But he is not a killer, what he has to do is to prevent Du Shaoqing and his Iron Seventh Division from entering the capital, and he has no way to wait any longer.
At this moment, the phone in his arms suddenly vibrate.
