Different from the technique often used in the play, after hearing this sentence, Xu Le was stunned and silent, then reflected, and finally came to a certain conclusion in shame, but frowned on the eyebrows that were as thick as heavy ink and as straight as a quiet knife, and said very seriously, "One of my brothers has already obtained evidence of Medellin's involvement in the terrorist attack, and we handed it over to the federal side, but the federal law has lost its effect at that time, so I will personally take action." ”

"And I asked him personally before I killed Medellin, and he confessed. ”

Zhong Shouhu's indifferent questioning wanted to point directly at Xu Le's heart, reveal the murderous emotions hidden in the young man's heart, and refute the words of the other party questioning him for evidence, but he never imagined that Xu Le, who was on the other side of the table, would respond very seriously like a law student, like a persistent and serious child.

This is a very wonderful little guy, Zhong Shouhu looked at Xu Le quietly, and his heart became even more firm in this opinion, and said self-deprecatingly, "You are right, I have no evidence." In fact, if there was evidence, I would have sent someone to kill Du Shaoqing a long time ago. ”

Commander Xilin raised his eyebrows and said with three points of coldness, "I respect your idea of self-consolation or self-hypnosis in some ways, but I still want to remind you that your President Pabul will be ousted by the officers in the future...... Remember our conversation today. ”

Your president, since the last election, Xu Le seems to have heard this statement on many occasions, but because of the different occasions, the meaning of this statement is also very different. Shi Gongzi said that he was proud that he had influenced the presidential election of the Federation, but Zhong Shouhu said this to represent the unanimous opinion of many big figures in the upper echelons of the Federation.

In their view, His Excellency the President's pardon of Xu Le, and the military spared no effort to cultivate this person, naturally had expectations. In the future political map of the Federation, there is no doubt that His Excellency the President will continue to have many entanglements of interests with the Seven Great Powers and bureaucrats and politicians, and Xu Le will inevitably be on the side of President Pabul.

Over the past few years, the excellent impression of Mr. President, the extraordinary political integrity and decisiveness shown by this federal politician in the amnesty and Medellín incidents, the few but very impressive exchanges in the past two years, listening to his words, watching his deeds, eating the potatoes boiled by the first lady herself, Xu Leming knew that he had already made a faint mark on the official residence, but he did not reject it, but felt honored.

Listening to Commander Zhong's mocking words, the crazy picture of Mr. President being targeted by countless guns came to his mind, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no evidence or even signs, just because of a fragment in the school back then, you have to classify Division Commander Shaoqing into the ranks of fanatical officers...... I hate this guy too, but it's ridiculous. ”

Zhong Shouhu frowned, waved his hand and said, "It also makes sense, is it because he wanted to rob my wife's relationship back then?"

Xu Le was speechless, since the other party was in charge of the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation and had already turned the topic to the situation in the First Military Academy back then, it was naturally inconvenient for him to say anything.

Zhong Shouhu raised his chin slightly and said untamedly, "I'm very tired of Du Shaoqing, so I'll crush him to death for the rest of my life." As long as I don't die, the commander-in-chief of the front line will always be me, I have pressed him for ten years, even if I die, he will have to stay up for a long time to get to my current position. ”

"The most important point is that the Federation wants his Iron Seventh Division to show its life on the front line, and I will definitely let the entire Federation understand who is the real fierce on the battlefield. ”

"Is this a child's anger?" Xu Le asked in a serious and playful tone with his small eyes open.

"This question that seems interesting to me, but somewhat boring and childish to you, ends here. ”

Zhong Shouhu no longer paid attention to Xu Le's rare and enriched facial expression, unscrewed the third bottle of liquor on the table, poured himself a drink, and asked thoughtfully, "Last question, what period do you think the war between the Federation and the Empire will enter before it can really end?"

Hearing this question, Xu Le slowly sat up straight, his sweaty body and looked at the other party with some surprise.

How can the war that has lasted for nearly a hundred years be ended? This is a question that seems to be more macroscopic and complex than the galaxy of the universe, in the face of hundreds of millions of vicious and cruel imperial invaders, and in the face of the crazy and belligerent imperial emperor, even if the Federation has always held the strategic initiative, no one dares to say when this war will end and how it will end.

He studied quantum physics under Professor Shen, and he had also been exposed to the knowledge of astrophysics, so he knew a lot about this materialistic world, but when he heard this question, he still felt that Commander Zhong had drunk too much to discuss with a lieutenant colonel like himself what should have been discussed at the joint meeting of the Federal Staff.

Zhong Shouhu looked at him quite interestingly, waiting for his answer, under the pressure of this gaze, Xu Le had to think very seriously and give an absolutely sincere answer.

"Drive the Imperial people out of Xilin, and then the federal forces enter the Imperial Star Field, annihilate its base force group, and fight the empire to the bone marrow, and never dare to start a war again, so that the Federation can achieve real peace. ”

"Naive. Commander Zhong unceremoniously made an evaluation immediately.

Xu Le scratched his head, he knew that this idea was a bit naïve, but since the Havoc, the Federation has been living and developing peacefully in this universe, and has not encountered any real war at all, except for the pirates on the Bermudan side.

"In Schiller's play, all wars always have an end, and those mythical kingdoms have absurdly fought for a rose for more than six hundred years, but wars still have to end eventually. ”

"That's the drama. Zhong Shouhu corrected unceremoniously, and then said, "Even if Schiller's depiction is a real thing that happened in history, it cannot be used as a model, and don't forget that in those ridiculous knightly wars, the captured nobles on both sides only needed to spend some gold coins to return to their hometowns, and the dead were all low-class farmers and hunters." ”

"And the war between the Federation and the Empire is a war of races, and even prisoners of war rarely appear, from top to bottom, how many people have died on both sides, how much blood has been shed? The most important thing is that our great Federation military god...... His Majesty the Emperor who once killed them with his own hands. ”

"So what?" Xu Le looked at him suspiciously.

"The Emperor sustains his reign first and foremost by the purity of his bloodline and the legitimacy of the so-called continuation of power. Whether it is the current mad emperor or the future emperor, because of these factors, they will inevitably have to avenge the previous emperor who died at the hands of Li Pifu. ”

"This is the so-called blood feud, and you can also call it an immortal feud. There are also many problems within the empire today, and the royalty and nobles can still hypnotize those untouchable warriors in the space age to rush towards Xilin, which is represented by the flame of revenge, which is absolutely correct. ”

"And then?" Xu Le listened attentively.

"This war will end, unless the Federation destroys the Empire, but our system cannot learn from the Empire to keep their people in captivity like pigs and dogs, because there is always the so-called pan-universe humanitarian shit in our society...... So the Imperials will rebel, and we will continue to kill the Imperials until they are all killed. Or maybe the Empire wiped out the Federation and drowned us like fish in a tank of warm water. ”

"Apart from these two situations, there is no other possibility?" Xu Le asked, scratching his head.

"Yes. ”

Zhong Shouhu looked at the look of expectation on his face, and said with a sneer, "The Federation immediately admits defeat and becomes a vassal, and then strips off the Lord of the War God and sends it to the Imperial Tianjing Star, so that the Imperial Emperor will be cut by a thousand knives." ”

Xu Le waved his hand in annoyance, indicating that the cold joke was not funny.

"With your IQ, you should be able to tell it's a joke. ”

Zhong Shouhu continued his unceremonious mockery, "Everyone in the Federation knows that this is a joke, the government and the military know better than anyone how difficult it is to end this war, they know that although the Federation is much better than the Empire in terms of economic and technological strength, but to truly and completely defeat the Empire and bring peace to the Federation, a stronger and more efficient government is very much needed." ”

"It's just that because the government and the military are in different positions, they have put their thinking on solving this problem in two different directions. ”

"There are people in the military who think that the federation needs wartime control, a military government, and a parliamentary media and the public, as well as the profit-seeking mega-corporations, to be honest and quiet. ”

"You're back in circles. Xu Le shrugged and said.

Zhong Shouhu ignored him and continued, "And the hardliners in the government believe that a government that is strong enough to win this war must dig out the arms in the body of the joint from the foundation...... Then that's the Seven Masters who have been standing in the shadows and watching coldly. ”

"Especially in Xilin, the federal government must keep this star field under absolute control, and if you want to control the Zhong family, you must eliminate me, so there will be today's murder. ”

"I admit that your analysis is very reasonable, but I would like to remind you that I was the target of the previous assassination, and even if I was only a front for them, I still can't believe that if the federal government was behind it, how could they be as petty as they are today? Xu Le analyzed seriously.

"I feel the same way. Zhong Shouhu smiled and said, "In this universe, if you really want to kill me, unless the federal government sends an army over, but I am really curious, under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, who would dare to send an army to kill me, the commander-in-chief of the front line." ”

The two of them were discussing the general trend of the universe in a drunken manner, and they were blown by the night breeze of Sunset, and they had a bit of pleasure, and when Xu Le was thinking silently, Zhong Shouhu had already stood up, picked up the general's uniform on the back of the chair, draped it on his shoulders indiscriminately, and staggered to leave.

Xu Le stood up and said goodbye, and asked seriously, "Why are you saying this to me?"

Zhong Shouhu turned sideways, stared at the young man's simple and sincere face, and said, "Because you are Xu Le." ”

Xu Le said, "I still don't understand. ”

Zhong Shouhu carried the general's uniform, was silent for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Because I admire you...... There are rare four young people in the Federation, a silent stone. Although I am the former commander-in-chief of the enemy of the Federation, I am also interested in small talk, but I just want to talk about these things, but I can't find anyone to talk to."

This is a good explanation, Xu Le thought so in his heart, but he always felt that this conversation by the window pot concealed some sad feelings like autumn, and he didn't know if it was the statement of Xilin's orphan, or the political reality full of shadows, which made him have this idea.

"I appreciate you too. He thought of the little girl in S1 Qixia Prefecture, and suddenly asked in a suppressed manner, "But aren't you entrusting orphans?"

Zhong Shouhu was stunned, and then laughed arrogantly, "Don't overestimate yourself, and don't underestimate the strength of a family that has survived in the universe for tens of thousands of years, especially ...... Don't underestimate me. ”

Xu Le rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I said at the beginning that your nephew was involved in this murder......

Zhong Shouhu looked at him with a strange expression, probably he had never seen such a persistent and tough young man in his life, stretched out a finger and said seriously, "This time you are coming back." ”

Xu Le acquiesced.

"What is your relationship with my daughter. Zhong Shouhu asked.

Xu Le's eyes floated in front of a piece of black hair with watermelon skin rippling with the movement, and said seriously, "Just like a brother and sister." ”

"There are too many juniors in the family, if my nephew is not a bastard, what will my daughter do in the future? What if I die? Do you really want to entrust Gu to you?"

Zhong Shouhu looked at him calmly, then reached over the table, rubbed Xu Le's hair rudely like an elder, and then turned to leave, his back vicissitudes.

..................

........................

Zhong Ziqi participated in this murder incident, with Xu Leya's temperament that he was determined to force the enemy to swallow, he would definitely not stop there, whether it was taking the path of the law or official channels, he would always have the other party to pay for it, even if he was Xilin Tiger's favorite nephew.

But before Zhong Shouhu left, he asked what his relationship with the little watermelon was, and said what to do with the two, like a bucket of ice water poured into his head full of alcohol, Xu Le suddenly sobered up, and finally understood why Xilin Tiger was such a figure, there would be a second-class heir like Zhong Ziqi, and a deep chill to the family's resourcefulness or conspiracy occupied his entire body.

Walking out of the restaurant, Xu Le looked at the convoy that disappeared in the direction of the second latitude area, and couldn't help but shake his head. Without the company of liquor and red soup pot, the night breeze in Sunset State seemed a little cold, and he immediately fastened the collar button of his military uniform.

The black car drove over like a ghost, Xu Le opened the car door and sat down, quietly listened to Magnolia tell the specific situation of today's task completion, and said thank you seriously.

The seven groups of military vehicles that had been waiting for a long time also followed, closely rallying around the black vehicles, and slowly starting to drive towards the camp.

Looking at the scene he had long been accustomed to through the glass, Xu Lecai was surprised to understand that he was no longer the poor miner orphan back then, nor the small porter of Ewha University, nor the engineer who took the high-speed train between the capital and the port. Although he is only a young lieutenant colonel, he already has a certain influence in the Federation, and can even drink and gossip all night with legendary figures like Commander Zhong.

This conversation was extremely important to him, and he was more familiar with machines or firearms, and he had never had enough acumen to see the foggy side of federal politics, and tonight Zhong Shouhu's seemingly casual and unintentional discussion made him suddenly understand a lot of things.

These and the last sentence made Xu Le feel that this Xilin tiger was really not an ordinary character, let alone an object that he could compare. Commander Zhong, whose words and deeds can affect the general trend of the universe, thinks about problems in such a sharp and in-depth way and from such angles.

He even had a thought naturally. Zhong Shouhu and Du Shaoqing are called lifelong enemies by many good deeds, but from today's point of view, how can Du Shaoqing defeat such a character who seems to be poor and sour and rotten, but is actually ruthless and profitable?

After the fireworks dispersed tonight, clouds came from the east, covering the stars above the clear atmosphere, and the street scene of Sunset State outside the window became darker and more blurred, and Xu Le looked out like a statue, silent for a long time.

He did not agree with some of Commander Zhong's assertions, because there was no factual evidence, but some things that he had personally experienced in the past two years made him faintly feel that there was indeed a certain dangerous trend of thought among the young and strong officers of the Federation, and this trend of thought did not surface to the sea, but only fermented.

After a long period of careful thinking, based on the engineer's clear logical thinking and understanding of the political structure of the federation, and the first charter of tens of thousands of words, Xu Le made his own judgment, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his admiration for Zhong Shouhu was even stronger.

As the most privileged class at the pinnacle of the Federation, the lonely Xilin Tiger, this person is worried about the future of the Federation, and sincerely maintains the system of the Federation, how can it not be admirable? He thought of his friend Di Zhiyuan, who also seems to have the same excellent qualities, it seems that there are not no good people in the Seven Families, and Xiulian can also grow in the muddy ground, but this guy Han Zhiyuan always has some bad breath of the prince in his bones.

Alas, young man, Xu Le shook his head and sighed.

..................

..................

With the end of the Sunset State Mass Arrests, the murder has officially come to an end.

The Xilin Military Region took this opportunity to wantonly rebuke the people who had been planted on the main planet by various factions in the capital star circle, and a total of more than 70 suspects were arrested and waiting to be tried, and among these arrested suspects, as many as 50 or so belonged to relevant government departments.

The Xilin Zhong family, in this cold and arrogant way, issued the most powerful warning to the people of the capital star circle, and it must be mentioned that the list and related evidence transmitted to Xu Le by the federal central computer played a considerable role in this purge.

Everything was calm, Xu Le did not hand over the evidence of Zhong Ziqi's involvement in the case to the higher government departments, nor did he take the seven groups to take revenge in private, but not many people noticed that a team member named Xi Peng left the camp and took the battleship back to the capital star circle.

On the day Xi Peng left the barracks, Xu Le personally saw him off, and at the gate in the early morning, he said, "I know you don't mean it. ”

Xipeng's face was a little pale, he glanced at the barracks that he was already very familiar with, remembered that his closest comrades-in-arms were still sleeping at this time, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Some news was indeed released by me, but I didn't know that they wanted to kill you." ”

"It's not the point, the point is that we're a force, we have to give our backs to each other on the battlefield, in fact, on the planet Mortar, we do that too. Xu Le said, "But this incident makes it difficult for me to continue to trust you absolutely." ”

Xipeng nodded and said, "I understand this, but you don't expect me to be moved to tears because of these few words, and then become your little brother." ”

"There's only the content there. ”

Xu Le said, and then the two shook hands gently and said goodbye.

The government officials and members of the Governing Council, overwhelmed by the fierce reaction of the Xilin side, angrily began to investigate who was stupid enough to try to assassinate the tiger with a sniper rifle.

If this assassination of Commander Zhong is more like a joke, then the real assassination of Xu Le has made countless people feel uneasy, especially some people who know the inside story, and after confirming that this long-planned murder did not make Xu Le disappear forever, they have made accurate reactions.

Lin Douhai, who was riding a fierce horse in the Western Continent Meadow Horse Farm, was rudely pulled off his horse by several big men from the family, and then in just ten minutes, he boarded a helicopter, transferred to the family's private spaceship, entered the S3 planet, and was then closely guarded in the Lin family's private manor covering thousands of square kilometers.

This is the Lin family's severe punishment for this unsuccessful heir, but from another point of view, house arrest is also the elders of the family, and they are very worried that the young lieutenant colonel will stage another Medellin terror incident.

And Nam Myung-so, who was making an impassioned speech in the Parliament Hill Mansion in order to gain the admiration and mysterious eyes of the female parliamentary staff, was brought back to SS by the staff of the Fourth Section of the Anti-*Government* Army of Qinglongshan as quickly as possible, and sadly returned to the poor mountains and bad rivers and ugly villages that he desperately wanted to get rid of, and returned to the father and miscellaneous leader he feared the most.

In addition, the Qinglongshan Central Committee also sent a congratulatory telegram to the seven groups in Xilin through Zhang Xiaomeng, who was stationed in the Star Circle of the capital, congratulating them on their dazzling feats at the front line under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le. This congratulatory message, although nondescript, represents a certain attitude.

All sides are taking their own positions, and the bigwigs are wary of Xu Le's stoic and stubborn style, but what worries them more is the anger that may arise in Philadelphia.

There are many people in this universe who have been mad, but if the old man by the lake in Philadelphia initiates a madness, even the seven will be unbearable. However, to the surprise of many, there was no sound from Philadelphia.

"That's because Mrs. can't stand watching this scene anymore, and no one thought that Zhong Laohu would actually use the tricks of these little guys to toss such a big movement. Speaking of which, like a lady, I really doubt that the killer in room 1302 is a scene that Tiger added halfway after he knew that someone was going to kill Xu Le. ”

On the top floor of the headquarters building of Sanlin United Bank, the thin old man wearing a funny hat sat in his exclusive chair, looked at Li Xiuzhu in front of him and said with a smile, "You have behaved very well this time, we are financiers, not killers, you must know that the profession of killers is always too dangerous." ”
