Chapter 31 Chapter Seven The Oriole Behind

Tang Long originally watched the robot's mineral refining process seriously, hoping to steal the teacher, but he saw that after the robot put the minerals into a box, he didn't care about it, but kept messing with all kinds of things on the refining machine. button. After watching it for a while, he lost interest. Although he also asked about the principle, how could Tang Long listen to those chemical equations, so he simply slept on the sidelines. After waking up, Tang Long saw that the robot was still busy in front of the equipment, knew that it hadn't been refined yet, so he ate some mushroom snacks, drank a few sips of water from the machine that was continuously producing fresh water, and started to wander around boringly.

Tang Long accidentally saw the projector that was kicked by himself, so he tried to fix it and was ready to watch the news. Seeing Tang Long fiddle with himself with a few more wire ends, the robot couldn't help asking: "What is this? Does it need electricity too?" "This is a video projector, and you can see the news outside." After connecting the wires without looking up, Tang Long pressed the switch, and the image appeared on the white wall again. Seeing the image, the robot couldn't help but excitedly said: "So it's such an interesting thing."

Tang Long had been secretly paying attention to the robot as early as when Tang Long started repairing it. Although he doesn't understand why this thing can reflect human images, he already knows the manufacturing process. When Tang Long saw the words "The top-secret insider of the Hero Event was exposed, exclusive report by the novelty private TV station" appeared on the screen, he couldn't help being stunned. What is the inside story of the Hero Event? Tang Long, who was guessing, saw the screen change and concentrated on watching. The subtitles slowly faded away, first a scene of a living room appeared, and the 15th day of July 3433 in the cosmic calendar was displayed on the top of the screen.Seeing this time, Tang Long knew that it was after he was imprisoned in this underground mine.

Then a person in a suit sitting on the sofa appeared on the screen. Because his face was processed, it was impossible to tell who it was. At this time, a person opposite him, who could only see the back, said in a flattering tone: "Yes, this is a lack of consideration by the subordinate. But please rest assured, including Tang Long's original company, all insiders are not Being locked up means they died on the battlefield. And those second lieutenants who failed the special training, although they may not remember who Tang Long is, but just in case, I also tried to transfer them to the front line and isolate them. They have restricted their contact with the outside world. As long as there is a war, they will take the lead, and no one can prove that the young master is not Tang Long."

Hearing this, Tang Long was shocked. Are the two people on TV the main ones who conspired to take away his achievements?Although he really wanted to curse, he held back his anger and listened carefully to the next conversation. After hearing this, the very proud man snorted coldly and said in an indifferent tone: "All the insiders? Huh, those two instructors who trained them, and those who maintained the battleship during the training Where are the support staff? Do you think it would be useful to lock up the real Tang Long and his subordinates?" Tang Long clenched his fists tightly. He had long thought that he and his subordinates were locked up, not for the purpose of waiting for interrogation, but for this purpose.Now that he heard that even the instructors and support staff who trained him were going to be murdered, the resentment that had been welling up in his heart became even stronger.

In the past, people like Shen Jin from my company made it difficult for me. It can be said that I offended them. It is normal for them to want revenge.But now, just to let the son of a high-ranking official take the credit for him, he actually flouted the law so boldly, which made Tang Long truly feel the darkness of the army and the terror of power. Tang Long understood that all of this was due to the great credit he had received.If his own merits are rewarded according to normal military regulations, he can definitely be promoted to colonel or above. With the support of his father, a high-ranking official, that kid who took advantage of his merits could even be promoted to major general. From a second lieutenant to a major general, how many levels did he jump in between?

Originally, no one dared to occupy such a huge credit, but only my ship survived from the battlefield, and the communication was cut off during the war. Except for myself, no one knew who the highest creditor was, and this was theirs. One of the reasons for daring to occupy merit. The real reason why they dared to take over the merits was that the entire federal army was firmly under their control. If they stepped off the spaceship, they would be escorted to prison by the military police immediately, and then all news would be blocked, allowing the son of a high-ranking official to appear on the stage.

How many pairs of eyes are watching here, but no one came out to correct it.Explain that whether it is the military police, the warden of the prison or the commander of the base, these people are all in the same group as that high-ranking official. Although Tang Long was extremely angry, he still forcibly endured and continued to watch. The person who only saw the back, after listening to the sitting person, bent down and said: "Sir, please don't worry, I will go and finish these things right away, sir." "Hmph, I just thought about doing it now. Is it too late? No need, I have let the people below deal with it after I know what happened. I believe it has been completed now." The person sitting waved and said.

At this time, the screen changed suddenly, and subtitles appeared. Seeing the subtitles, Tang Long softened, and saw that the displayed subtitles read: At zero o'clock on July 15, 3433 in the cosmic calendar, Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Hu Kexing, a fire broke out in the non-commissioned officer military prison, and the fire fighting system failed for no reason.It is said that fourteen non-commissioned officers who had just returned from the battlefield were imprisoned here, four women and ten men.At the same time, the warden's wife confirmed that the warden, who was not required to go to work at night as a rule, was ordered by his superiors to keep a vigil that night.

Afterwards, the military police searched for criminals. It was said that the case was carried out by imperial spies, but the spies had been killed on the spot. At 6:00 a.m. on July 15, 3433 in the cosmic calendar, a group of military police entered a logistics officer's dormitory on the grounds of carrying out official duties at an underground ship base in Li Kexing, and then went to the 13th floor where the logistics personnel of a certain ship lived. An explosion occurred, and all 53 people on the entire floor were killed. According to investigations, this base is a self-propelled gunboat maintenance logistics point. The 53 logistics officers and soldiers on the 13th floor were the logistics maintenance personnel of the self-propelled gunboat numbered 512 before the border conflict.

At 4:22 p.m. on July 15, 3433 in the cosmic calendar, Lieutenant Colonel Linasha and Major Qina, who were sent to the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Corps as fighter instructors by a certain space team base in Xing Kexing, Due to the malfunction of the transport ship, the spaceship exploded and all the crew members were killed. According to the officers and soldiers of the same team as the two officers, it is not reasonable to transfer the commander of the main front line team at this time, and it is also confirmed that the two officers are the instructors of the self-propelled gunboat. When the news is broadcast here, there will be no advertisements, and the advertisements will be replayed after the advertisements are announced.However, the first broadcast of the news in just a few minutes caused shock in the entire Federation. While Tang Long was watching the news, the entire Federation also saw the program because of the novelty private TV station broadcasting a five-minute commercial on all TV stations. The dialogue at the beginning of the video makes it easy to guess who the sitting person is, and the other one knows the face after thinking about it. Who is the most powerful in Xingkexing? In an instant, all the people were angrily yelling at the man whose son was named Tang Tres. Soldiers from all over the country, especially the soldiers from Li Kexing, ignored the obstruction of the military police, and surrounded the Lieutenant General's headquarters in Sous and asked the Lieutenant General to come out. Explain, but unfortunately the result is that Lieutenant General South is missing. When the Li Ke Xing military region was about to lose control, Admiral Gu Ao visited the Li Ke Xing in person. In addition to expressing his innocence and investigating with all his strength immediately, he also reminded the soldiers not to forget that this is the front line and they must always be alert to the enemy's attack. Angry soldiers return to their ranks. And those congressional candidates who were under the pressure of the military spokesperson hurriedly seized this good opportunity to come out and criticize their competitors who were far away from them. The novelty private TV station, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately broadcasted the interview column of the family members of the soldiers who received the accidental death notice after the rebroadcast. In the face of these family members' heartbroken shouts: Severely punish the murderer!The public's favorable opinion of the military has declined sharply, and these military spokespersons were immediately abandoned by the public. In just a short while, there was a wave of calls to punish shameless soldiers across the country. The former President Namha, who got the news, immediately jumped out and said that he would organize an interim review meeting to investigate the incident.Appearing in the image of justice, Namha's approval rating immediately soared, and Chen Yu also stood up at this moment to express his support for the former president. In a certain mansion in Trenxing, the capital of the Wanluo Federation, Chen Yu held a wine glass and quietly watched Namuha's saliva splashing on the screen, and couldn't help but smile sinisterly. He stood up to gain fame, and Namha thought he was on his side. Although Namha's approval rating is far ahead of him, there is no need to worry about it.There are still two weeks before the real general election, and as long as he presents the evidence he has, Namha, not to mention becoming president, may spend the rest of his life in prison. Chen Yu shook the wine glass in his hand and said to himself: "Strange, who concocted that news? Novelty TV station said that it received an anonymous letter, and the news is true according to the investigation, but why can't my intelligence network find out the truth? Who sent it? It’s obvious that South did it at first glance, because it’s impossible for him to not know if a video camera was installed in his house. But why did he do this? Isn’t he Mu Enlai’s confidant?” Of course Chen Yu knew that Mu Enlais had contributed to the occupation of Tang Long, but for the sake of his own career, he didn't want to have conflicts with the general who held a large army. Chen Yu also knew that the discerning people in the army had seen the details of Muen Leisi early in the morning, and no one inside knew who Tang Trei Si was. That bastard who can't even use a gun can command a battleship to a huge victory?Some people believe that kittens can give birth to mice. However, these people also did not expose him for various reasons. Anyway, this kind of encroachment on the merits of subordinates is not uncommon and common everywhere. It must be the enemy of Muen Leisi who can do this kind of thing, but the enemy of Muen Leisi seems to have prepared it early. Thinking of this, Chen Yu shivered suddenly, and a figure appeared in his heart: "Could it be him..." At this time, the Marshal's Mansion.South stood beside Olmsted respectfully, watching the demonstrations in various places displayed on the TV screen.He said to Olmsted: "Your Excellency, Marshal, everything is as you expected, Mu Enlaisi's reputation has plummeted, and he will definitely not be able to turn around this time." Olmster didn't answer the call right away, but pressed the button to switch to the TV station of the southern galaxy. After watching it, he said slowly: "It's very dangerous." "Very dangerous?" Sous was confused, not knowing what the marshal was referring to. Olmsted pointed to the screen and said: "See, none of the TV stations in the three southern galaxies reported the news, and even if they did, they simply said a few unclear words. According to the information, the news in that news When it was broadcast, the press of the three southern galaxies began to control the airwaves, so that the people there could not watch the programs of other galaxies. Not only the official ones, but also private TV stations. Moreover, the officers of the Reis faction kept silent, you Say it's not dangerous?" Sous was breaking out in a cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that Mu Enlais dared to support troops and make trouble?" Olmster still said in a slow tone: "It is very possible that although the Reis faction is not the first faction, his faction is very united, especially the Reis resident, which is not only the place where he was born and grew up. , is also the place where he made his fortune, and the consuls of the galaxies and planets there are all his people." "Sir, quickly order the space port to be sealed off. Let me take the gendarmerie to arrest Muen Reis. If you let him escape from the capital, you will definitely let the tiger go back to the mountain! The Federation will split!" Soth said nervously. Pick up the phone and prepare to call the gendarmerie. "Puchi." A dazzling laser flashed across the room, and a small hole the size of a finger appeared between Soth's eyebrows, and blood slowly gushed out. South stared at a pair of unbelievable eyes, staring blankly at the laser gun in Olmsted's hand.With a snap, Sous fell down without a word. Olmsted came to Sous and knelt down in front of Sous, quietly watching Sous's last face. At this time, Olmsted's eyes could be seen showing a look of sadness and pain. After a long time, Olmsted sighed, and said to himself in a low voice: "Unfortunately, although you have sworn allegiance to me, the object of your true loyalty in your heart is the Wanluo Federation." He closed Soth's eyes with his hands, stood up and said coldly, "Throw it into the melting furnace." After the voice fell, a certain wall in the hall opened silently, and an invisible soldier wearing a gas mask quickly came to Sous, grabbed it with one hand, and the corpse weighing more than one hundred kilograms was easily caught , the soldier turned around without saying a word and entered the place where he came out of. At this moment, you can see that the soldier is wearing a pair of black leather gloves. Under the light, there is occasionally a trace of metallic light between the gloves and the wrist. At this time, a private spacecraft in the spaceport is flying off the ground. Inside the cabin, two people wearing thick windbreakers finally took off their clothes with a sigh of relief when they saw the spaceship take off.It is the two father and son of Mu Enlaisi. Tang Tres asked anxiously: "Dad, what should we do? Will we go to a military court?" "Hmph, as long as I return to the station, who dares to send us to a military court?" Olmster took out a bottle of wine, bit off the cork with his mouth, and drank a few gulps. Tang Tres still asked worriedly: "But, if the federal government and the military department issue arrest warrants at the same time, will those people send us back?" "Don't worry, if those guys dare to arrest me, I will lead the army to rebel! The government officials of the three southern galaxies are all from us, and the generals of the army are all picked by me. They will not betray me. And the Federation is working with The empire is hostile, and the federal government dare not take the risk of civil strife to offend me. Damn, it’s better to go to my hometown, I know that the people in the capital are all fucking ungrateful guys, and that bastard Sous dared to play tricks on me, I must I won't let him go!" After reading the news, Muenrez's first reaction was that South had betrayed him. "Dad, who do you think is behind this scene? Soth shouldn't be so bold, right?" "Damn it, it's not Zhang Junlong, Mujiet or Olmsted, who else would dare to fight against me except these three! Find out for me, and I must make him look good!" Mu Enlei cursed angrily. Tang Tres didn't answer. He knew that he was not in danger, so he didn't pay attention to this aspect. Now he feels very sorry for those schoolgirls he hasn't met. "Damn it, I wanted to enjoy the taste of women in the capital, but I didn't expect to go home without even seeing it, let alone touching it. Terun Star, I will definitely come back!" Tang Tres secretly said scolded. The people of the Wanluo Federation, which was bustling with excitement, suddenly fell silent, because the marshal of the federal army wanted to hold a press conference on the hero incident. When the army's prestige plummeted, the marshal who had been silent all this time finally spoke out. Not only the people gathered around the TV, but even the army, from the four-star generals to the privates, were silently waiting for the marshal's speech. Journalists from the entire federation, as well as journalists from some neighboring countries, all sharpened their heads to participate in the press conference. Namha held back his anger and sat by the TV. Before his review meeting was formed, the commander of the army came out to speak. Isn't he on his side?Why come to grab your own spotlight? Although Namu Haqi Olmster came out to express his opinion without telling himself, but he can't help it, because he is only a presidential candidate now, and this incident should also be regarded as a matter of the military department. The highest officer of the army— —Marshal, it is reasonable to come out and express your opinion. After a while, Olmster's resolute face and upright body appeared on the podium with the words Federal Military Department. After he stood there, he glanced at the camera with his eyes. The hearts of the people and officers jumped. Seeing all the reporters in the audience raising their hands high, Olmster pressed his hands and said in a deep voice, "Before asking questions, please observe a minute's silence for our heroic soldiers." Hearing this, the reporters put their hands down and closed their eyes. They didn't want to offend the people and soldiers of the Federation. Everyone thought it was a moment of silence for the soldiers who were killed, but after Olmsted opened his eyes and spoke, everyone was stunned. Olmsted said: "This heroic soldier is Lieutenant General South, the commander of the Skeleton Dragon Cloud Galaxy Skeleton Military Region." After everyone woke up, there was a lot of discussion immediately. The people watching TV outside immediately began to curse, while the officers and soldiers stared blankly at the TV. Brave soldier?South, he is a guy who is in collusion with Mu Enlais and caressing about human life. Is the marshal in a daze?At this very moment, you actually want everyone to mourn for such a person?Everyone forgot to think about how South died. Immediately, a reporter stood up angrily and said, "Your Excellency, Marshal, is Lieutenant General South worthy of the word brave? Is he worthy of our silence?" Olmsted nodded, and said word by word: "He deserves it!" As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar immediately, and the reporter with a bright head was already thinking about waiting for the headlines of the news. The reporter who stood up and questioned wanted to ask questions, but he suddenly found several soldiers standing behind the marshal, and there were two beautiful female officers among them. This scene made him forget to ask. Olmsted looked at the camera and said: "Perhaps you will ask why I said that Lieutenant General South is a heroic soldier. The answer lies in these soldiers. Please introduce yourself." Olmsted walked aside after speaking, Expose those soldiers to the camera. I saw a middle-aged colonel standing at the head of the row, stepped forward and bowed to the camera and said: "The warden of the Li Kexing Military Prison—Colonel Kara!" After he went down, the beautiful female officer next to him stepped forward to salute and said: "The captain of the first team of the Xingke Star Flight—Lieutenant Colonel Linasha." After she went down, the people behind her stepped forward and reported their identities one by one: "The captain of the first team of the Xingke Star Flight——Major Qina." "Wake Star Logistics Base, Captain of the 3rd and 4th Logistics Team - Sergeant Wright." "Self-propelled gunboat No. 512 torpedo operator—Sergeant Liu Sihao." Few people knew these names a few days ago, but now almost everyone has heard of them. After hearing this, everyone stared at the people on the screen dumbfounded. Aren't they all dead?Why are you still alive? At this time, Olmsted walked back to the podium and said calmly: "Everyone has read the news a few days ago, and I believe they already know who they are. I can tell you that the accident shown in the news did happen. But contrary to what was reported, none of the three accidents were fatal." The people below were all stunned, and after hearing this, the family members who were originally distraught immediately cheered. The reporter on the field was the first person to respond to the question: "Your Excellency, Marshal, is it all thanks to Lieutenant General South that these people survived?" Olmster nodded: "Yes, the news you read was also taken by Lieutenant General South. It's a pity that Lieutenant General South only had time to hand over the rescued person to me, and he was..." Speaking of this, Olmster Mister closed his eyes and shook his head in pain. When the people and soldiers saw this, they immediately cursed again, but this time it was not the marshal. Although the marshal didn't say it directly, everyone knew that South was killed by Mu Enlaisi. Reporters and the public react differently. They don't care much about things that can be seen immediately after thinking about them. What they pursue is more important news.So a reporter stood up to express his admiration for South, and asked: "Why didn't Lieutenant General South report on that person when he first knew about it, but sneaked in? Oh, I'm sorry, please forgive me use the word." Without a direct answer, Olmsted said, "If you were that guy, would you be wary of Lieutenant General South?" After getting the answer, the reporter immediately asked another question: "Even if that person is higher than him, Lieutenant General South is not in his defense zone, so he doesn't have to work for him. Why..." Before he could finish speaking, he was called Olmsted interrupted. "Federal military regulations stipulate that the four-star general has the power to issue orders to any federal soldier, and can punish those who violate the military order." Olmsted's faint words exposed the power of the four-star general. At this time, a reporter stood up and said, "Sorry, Your Excellency Marshal, please let me interrupt. I am a reporter from the Republic of Rice, and I think there is something wrong with your country's military system." These words shocked everyone. All the reporters present knew that this was interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The foreign reporter didn't wait for Olmsted's consent, and continued to speak directly: "Our country's military system is basically the same as your country's, but the officers in each defense zone can only issue orders to the soldiers under their command, they have no power Command the soldiers in other defense areas, and only the highest military officers—the president and the marshal—have the power to issue orders to all soldiers. "It stands to reason that the only one who can give orders to all soldiers in your country is the Marshal, one of the highest officers of your country's army. Of course, I don't want your country to be the same as ours, but if your country can reduce the power of officers in each defense zone , then things like this will not happen. Please forgive me for my words, I don’t want to interfere in your internal affairs, but I just feel uncomfortable." After speaking, he bowed and sat down. The words of the foreign reporter were transmitted to the entire Wanluo Federation by the camera, and all the people and ordinary soldiers suddenly realized that such a thing happened because the power of the four-star general under one person was too great!And those smart senior officers immediately thought that there would be a major earthquake in the military world. Olmsted didn't say a word. A foreigner raised questions about the military system of the Federation. As a federal marshal, can he answer it?Don't talk about reconciliation, you can't even say words, otherwise you will be considered to be discussing internal affairs with foreign countries. At this time, a reporter stood up and said loudly: "I am a legal citizen of the Wanluo Federation with voting rights. I request that the four-star generals in the federal army have the right to order any federal soldier. , no one can order other soldiers across the region!" The people watching the TV immediately clamored, they all agree with the reporter's words, they don't want this kind of thing to happen again. Citizens of this country certainly have the right to say this, so Olmsted smiled and said: "I'm sorry, this is an issue that the government should discuss, and the military cannot participate in politics." The reporter nodded quickly and said, "Sorry, I'll be excited next time, and I'll propose it to the MPs in my district." Those congressional candidates who stopped canvassing and watched in front of the TV knew that what this reporter said was the voice of the public, and of course they also knew how they should canvass votes next time. The reporter didn't sit down, but continued to ask: "Your Excellency Marshal, now that we have both evidence and witnesses, I don't know how His Excellency Marshal will deal with that person? According to military regulations, this should be handled immediately under the authority of the Marshal, right?" When the military officer familiar with the inside story heard what the reporter said, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head with a wry smile. Military regulations stipulate that the supreme officer can indeed deal with all officers, including four-star generals, if the evidence is solid.But there are factions in the army, and after government officials and financial groups join these factions, a four-star general who is the head of the faction cannot be handled by the marshal alone. It's fine if outsiders don't know, but as a reporter, don't you even know this? Wouldn't it embarrass the marshal if he brought it up in this live broadcast? The senior officers originally thought that the marshal would find some excuses to shirk, but they didn't expect that after hearing what the reporter said, Olmsted glanced at the crowd indifferently, nodded and said: "As a four-star general, Muen Leisi , for personal gain, embezzlement of soldiers’ merits, and sending relatives to replace them. It is even more important to prevent things from being exposed, and then to kill people. His behavior has seriously damaged the reputation of the federal soldiers, not only violated the military law, but also violated the federal constitution! Now I use the Wanluo Federation The Marshal of the army announced the punishment for the four-star general of Muenlace: he will be dismissed from all military posts and deprived of his military qualifications. Immediately arrest him and send him to the Federal Supreme Court for trial!" Olmster finished speaking. The military salute left. Hearing the marshal's words, the reporters froze for a moment before applauding to see Olmsted leave.All the veteran reporters smiled helplessly, while the reporters from the southern galaxy secretly sneered. Everyone inside knew about Muen Laisi's escape to the south.Anyone who knows the inside story knows very well that even if Mu Enlai is not a soldier now, the military power of the 100,000 warships in the south is still firmly in his hands. Who can catch him and escort him back to the capital for trial? Even without mentioning these armies, none of the military police, police, or secret agents in the south would obey orders to arrest Muen Laisi, but there are quite a few people who follow Muen Lai Lai's orders to be on guard in various galaxies. House Star of the Wooden Plow Galaxy in the south of the Wanluo Federation, the capital of the galaxy. "Damn! This bastard, how dare you remove my military rank and qualifications? I'm waiting for you to catch me!" Mu Enlai, who was drinking, threw the bottle towards the three-dimensional image of Olmsted. . The only projector in the entire southern galaxy that was not regulated to receive TV signals from the federal capital was scrapped just like that. "Dad, Olmsted really wants us, what should we do?" Don Tres asked tremblingly. He listened to his father's words on the boat that escaped back, and was not afraid of being wanted at the time.But when I came back and thought about it, my faction only had 100,000 warships, while the Federation had 400,000 warships, so the strength of the troops was not comparable. As for the hostility between the Federation and the Empire, the Empire only fought a border conflict and never came.And the high-level warships of all factions, including my own, were concentrated on Xing Kexing, and they were firmly controlled by the Federation after Sous died. Even if Sous didn't die, it might be the same. This powerful combat power can withstand the invasion of 100,000 warships of the empire. How can my 100,000 warships resist the 400,000 warships that the Federation can mobilize at any time? The more Tang Tres thought about it, the more frightened he became, and when he heard that he was really wanted, he began to panic. When Mu Enlai heard this, he immediately yelled at his son: "Why are you panicking! It's not you, how could you make so many troubles! Shut up and stand!" Tang Tres was startled by his father's appearance, and obediently closed his mouth and stood still. Mu Enlai yelled and cursed as he walked around: "Fuck! Olmster, you guy, South is your man. You are amazing. You arranged everything early and let me jump into the trap on my own initiative." Don Tres was surprised: "What? You said that Olmsted was responsible for all this?"
