Chapter 371: Wind and Rain (1)

President Pabul glanced at the text message, deleted it with a blank face, then looked up in silence and returned his attention to the live footage of Parliament Hill on the live news.

The simple sentence in the text message revealed too much content, he basically understood but didn't care, in the current situation, the gentle woman who left Bermuda could no longer cause more trouble, and he didn't want to do more investigation.

Do you miss nostalgia and complain when you reminisce?

Perhaps, that woman is so smart and sensible, low-key and gentle, empathetic, empathetic, and empathetic, it is worth missing occasionally.

However, for Mr. President, who has a firm ideal and has devoted his whole life to the struggle to implement it, no matter how gentle and refreshing a woman is, she is only a woman after all, a small Huā in the cliff crevice by the mighty river, and a striking seal of cinnabar under a large ink painting, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Why can't the Small-Eyed Special Operations and the three Federation's most elite commandos catch Xu Le? ”

President Pabur turned off the intercom, looked at Director Brin beside him and said, "You should keep an eye on this matter, and report it immediately if there is news." ”

Director Brin nodded, his face full of worry and said: "Mr. President, the most urgent issue now is the Parliament Hill, the Presidential Academic Foundation, the National Policy and Strategic Research Center, and the staff in the think tank, who have communicated with those dozens of parliamentarians, but so far, it is still not clear why they suddenly changed their voting intentions. ”

President Pabur waved his hand tiredly and said, "No need. ”

There was a brief silence in the office of Guan Tai, and Mr. President gently rubbed his astringent eyebrows, quietly looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, as if caught in some long-ago memory.

"George Carlin once famously said something that was included in their lecture notes by Qinglongshan anti-zhèngfǔ. The saying goes: Justice must not only be done, but in order to be convincing, it must also be seen. ”

"When I was elected president for the first time, in order to show the true justice of the federation to the people at the bottom who supported me, I sent those gentlemen and children of celebrities in the Hong Kong Metropolitan Garrison to Xilin to the front line and to Xu Le's men despite the opposition of all my bureaucrats, including you. ”

"At that time, Xu Le was the successor personally selected by the god of war, and he was the only one who helped me realize this wish, but even I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he could really turn those powerful children into real warriors, become his most loyal team members, and even know that he is an imperial person, those team members are willing to live and die for him. ”

President Pabur laughed at himself, looked at Director Brin and said, "It's very boring that I actually forgot to do this thing with my own hands, and as a result, their parents gave a heavy blow to zhèngfǔ at the most critical time." ”

Director Brin was stunned and remembered the incident back then, and finally understood why Parliament Hill in Rì today seemed so different from usual.

"Mr. President, the question that advisers are now concerned about is whether Capitol Hill will use the momentum of the veto of the homeland security law to file an impeachment motion. ”

He looked at President Pabur's dark, tired face and said worriedly.

"I don't think those lawmakers can do such a difficult job by vetoing only half of the bill, and the impeachment process is lengthy, requiring two-thirds of the MPs to collectively agree to one of the charges," Pabur said nonchalantly. ”

......

......

The Homeland Security Law was rejected by Gàn in the first reading process, and the Papai lawmakers, who were clearly unprepared, subconsciously stood up and looked around, as if trying to tell who had voted against it.

This is the first time since the midterm elections that Parliament Hill has successfully vetoed a bill proposed by Pabur zhèngfǔ, and the image has not appeared for a long time, leaving the parliamentarian seat in a strange silence, and everyone seems to be a little uncomfortable.

Councillor Shao, chairman of the Judicial Committee of the Parliament, slowly stood up from his seat and said in a voice without any emotion: "Based on the accusations of Da Vinci, a major officer of the new 17th Division, and the materials submitted by Councilor Tai Zhiyuan, I propose to reopen the impeachment case against the president, and in accordance with the provisions of the charter, ask He Ying, the chief officer of the Supreme Court, to preside over the impeachment proceedings. ”

"What did you say?"

"Councilor Shao, are you crazy!"

"Please don't abuse your authority and waste the Federation's material resources!"

Hearing the words of the chairman of the Judicial Committee, the Papai parliamentarians stood up en masse in anger, waving the electronic pen in their hands to express the biggest protest, and they stared fiercely at the senior councillor from Qixia Prefecture like staring at the most shameful traitor.

The solemn and solemn parliament hill was under attack like a vegetable market, and even the sound of the soles of shoes hitting the table and tearing the air with fists could be clearly heard.

Deputy Speaker Zion didn't seem to hear these fierce objections at all, lightly knocked on the hard pear plank in front of him, and after a little warning, he said directly with a blank face: "Now immediately proceed to the first reading and voting of the procedure." ”

Under the Charter, the Federal Assembly has the power to impeach the president, but even anyone who is completely ignorant of the rules can imagine that it must be a difficult process to enforce this right.

The first step in the standard impeachment process is for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to preside over the proceedings. All members of the Impeachment Court hear the arguments of the prosecution and the defence and the testimony of relevant witnesses.

The chairman of the Judiciary Committee and representatives of the sponsors of the legislature play the role of the prosecution, while the President Tai is tasked with defending himself.

After the hearing begins, the parties give two hours of presentation each, then the relevant witnesses are called to testify, and after the cross-examination of witnesses and arguments, the Chief Bill asks each member of the MP on the charges of impeachment by name in alphabetical order.

At this time, the parliamentarian can only answer "guilty" or "not guilty". If more than two-thirds of the members of the Parliament answer "guilty" to any of the charges, the President is impeached and the Vice-President takes over as President, who is impeached and barred from holding any public office for life or, if he or she has committed a criminal offence, before the ordinary courts after he has been reinstated as ordinary civilians. (Note)

Before these processes, the Parliament Hill must first pass the Judiciary Committee's impeachment proposal through a three-reading vote, which is often the most hotly debated process of procedural issues, although only half of the legislators are required.

It is clear from this that it will be a long and painful process for Parliament Hill to go from the impeachment proposal to the formal entry into the impeachment charges court debate and finally the final result.

When the Speaker of Zion announced the start of the pre-order voting, there was a commotion in the parliament hill, and the members of the various factions stood up and attacked each other, some trying to delay the process through this means, and others sneering at each other as childish.

The councillors were all engaged in a fight like a fist warm-up, and the staff in the councillors' offices had already begun to take action, they kept making phone calls, purchasing daily necessities including toiletries, asking the councillors' daily assistants to immediately fetch the bedding that the councillors were most accustomed to, and the most experienced members of the councillors' offices were the first to inform the councillors' favorite restaurants to prepare the ingredients for the next day.

At the top of the rostrum, Deputy Speaker Zion drooped his godless eyelids and said softly: "Members, make as much noise as you like now, but I want to remind you not to go out of the Capitol Hill, any idea of trying to create an insufficient voter through an absence, is impossible today. ”

Deputy Speaker Zion slowly raised his head, looked at the Papai councillors in the seats with anxious and embarrassed faces, and said, "Even if you can buy the guards, I would love to know how you can buy the tens of thousands of federal citizens outside. ”

Tempting games always attract playful children to stay up all night and stay up all night to devote themselves to it, and the game on Capitol Hill, which may have changed history, will surely force those lawmakers who are in poor health, whether they are old or drunk, or for other reasons, to stay up all night and stay up all night to devote themselves to it.

If nothing else, this will surely be the longest parliamentary debate and vote in federal history, and no one knows what the final outcome will be until a lawmaker says "yes" or "no".

The entire federation and even the empire of the Left Heaven Star Domain are watching Parliament Hill, and everyone wants to know the ending of this big drama, but there are still some people who know very well 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 again after completing the raid on the Spring City Sanatorium, and they were not seen in any news media, and only a very few people knew how many life-and-death battles had taken place between the secret special forces of the Federation and them in the middle of the past night.

The black sè car without any signs drove at high speed between the steep mountain roads, whether it was a ramp or a dangerous sharp turn, it seemed that it could not delay the slightest speed of this black car, and the hard tires made a violent grinding sound against the soil surface, carrying the wind and dust to rush forward, it seemed to be more powerful than the most advanced off-road vehicles.

After confirming that the three helicopter gunships had been thrown away through the on-board radar light curtain, Liu Jiao slammed the steering wheel, accurately parked the black car in the pine forest on the side of the road, took off his hat and wiped his face vigorously.

"Chief, where are you going next?" he asked.

Xu Le, who was in the back seat, didn't answer his question immediately, picked up the encrypted phone in the car, entered a certain frequency band, and asked in a low voice, "Big Bear, how is the situation over there?"

No one answered, and Xu Le's brows furrowed.

Although the Bright Light of the Charter could not threaten the actions of the Seven Groups for the time being, it was in the hinterland of the Federation after all, and countless powerful agencies were dispatched at the same time, and he was targeted shortly after that convenience store rubbed shoulders with Zhang Xiaohuā.

In the past whole day and night, he has been dealing with those fierce special operations forces, if it weren't for this black car, if it wasn't Liu Jiao who was driving, maybe more than ten hours ago, he would have been surrounded by the other party.

Xiong Linquan's panting voice finally sounded in the call band at this time.

"We're in the back! Iron Seventh Division, these scumbags! I can't wait to put the infrared whistle on his old moon! We've been discovered!"

"Repeat, we're in the aftermath!"

Xu Le's eyes narrowed, and he once again confirmed that although Du Shaoqing was already the commander of the Federation, the Iron Seventh Division was still the terrifying Iron Seventh Division back then.

"Scatter them all!" he gave the order without hesitation, and said quickly, "Don't leave any eagle eyes, be careful, don't leave a single one." ”

He believed that under the current situation, it would definitely be impossible for the Iron Seventh Division to leave the garrison area for pursuit, and then asked, "Yan Bingyan, how are you doing over there?"

A rough voice sounded in the frequency band after a while: "Boss, the three of us are going around in circles with the Snow Leopard Commando, those bastards are not very good, but the equipment is too advanced, we can't stand it!"

Xu Le stretched out his hand to call up the on-board electronic map, looked at a certain point of light in it, and said: "From your coordinates, go straight at full speed along the west 32 corners, be sure to wear out before the other party surrounds and form, get on the train in Taikang, take the high-speed train to the Chinese New Year's Eve meeting, the capital of Southern Science and Technology, where someone answers." ”

After a pause, he said, "As long as you live to walk into the nightclub, you have completed your task, hard work." ”

......

......

One hundred and seventy kilometers south of the capital, is the newest garrison camp of the Iron Seventh Division, opposite the barracks is the stretching Qiufu Mountains, the mountains are not high here, and gradually extend to the periphery of Philadelphia in the rear, before they become snow-covered peaks.

The black car stopped like a ghost in a dense forest deep in the mountain beam, Xu Le carried a black sè suitcase, carried a heavy marching backpack and got out of the car, hugged Liu Dumpling heavily, and then separated.

It took him nearly two hours to make a path from the steepest cliff that no one had ever walked before, and quietly hid himself to the highest point of the mountain opposite the barracks.

Behind a certain gray stone at the top of the peak, Xu Le mobilized the scorching power behind his waist and slowly closed his eyes, recalling the feeling of tens of millions of tons of underwater in that imperial royal spaceship, and letting that trace of true qi penetrate into every cell.

Tick tick tick second hand moves.

His breathing slowed over time, his heartbeat dropped below sixteen beats per minute, and his body temperature became lower.

The Iron Seventh Division's concept of governing the army is rigorous and meticulous, and in addition to the observation posts stipulated in the 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 stone on the peak, because in the infrared imaging, Xu Le's body had become a real stone at this time.

The heavy black box was opened, the ACW was quickly assembled, the thick empty qiāng tube poked out of the crack in the stone, and the original tungsten alloy tail large-caliber bullet was loaded.

Xu Le was half-lying under the boulder, trying to control the rhythm of his body to prevent his body temperature from rising, and the thumb of his right hand gently turned the red sè touch.

With the movement of the button, the ACW aimed at the image of the camp of the Iron Seventh Division under the mountain on the miniature light curtain, and the high-powered equipment clearly showed the resolute faces of the soldiers of the Iron Seventh Division, countless platoon barracks, and the military MX mecha group that had not stopped training at night when the smoke and dust were gradually rising.

Xu Le looked at the changing picture on the miniature light curtain, looked at the willow wood white faintly appearing in the distance of the barracks, and found that the first trace of morning light had fallen on him clearly, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Many years ago, during that graduation exercise, he controlled the MX mecha to bathe in the morning light on the top of the peak and cast the camp of the Iron Seventh Division.

At that time, his opponent was the Guards Battalion of the Iron Seventh Division, and what he had to do was to find the battalion headquarters and defeat Ximen Jin. And today's opponent is the entire Iron Seventh Division, and what he has to do is: find Du Shaoqing and then kill him.
