Chapter 98: Negotiations
"What? That Tang Chuan went to a court-martial? What did he do with a court-martial? ”
Countless of the same questions rang out in various places in Huajing.
And people passing by on that wide avenue outside the court-martials will not find anything unusual today, for them it is only a trivial matter for a person to go in alone. The door of the court-martial, as usual, was deserted and solemn.
But it is such a small thing that affects the hearts of countless bigwigs in Huajing.
History, always at an inadvertent moment, is influenced by the little people. Like a screw on the wheel of a car, it's inconspicuous, but crucial.
Inhaled, raised his head, raised his chest, put the heels of his small screws Tang Chuan together, snapped, and saluted a standard military salute, "Yes, Your Excellency, I request a hearing to resolutely oppose the cancellation of the Su Feng number." ”
Tang Chuan was standing in a small courtroom at the moment, and he was standing under the courtroom, like a prisoner waiting for trial, looking up at the judge in front of him.
The difference is that there is no audience, no jury, just Tang Chuan, a person waiting for trial, and a group of judges.
The front door opened, and a mermaid entered, either curious or with hostile eyes looking at Tang Chuan.
Tang Chuan couldn't help but guess, it couldn't be that all the personnel on duty ran over, right? I think too much of him.
Judge Teemo was a man with a stern expression like a code of military justice, a black judge's robe over his military uniform, and his brow furrowed, as if he was going to pronounce your death sentence in the next second.
"There is no precedent for a military tribunal to hold a hearing, and I reject your request."
"There is a first time for everything, and there is no precedent, just because it can't be. A military tribunal is also a court, and according to the Imperial Constitution, all trial procedures should be open and fair, isn't the military tribunal banning the Sufeng squad according to the regular process, but for some other reason that cannot be made public? Tang Chuan asked, his face was calm, commonly known as - talking nonsense with his eyes open.
"Watch your words!" An old judge with gray hair heard Tang Chuan's words as soon as he came in, and immediately reprimanded angrily, "Just based on what you just said, I can sentence you for slander!" ”
Tang Chuan smiled and bowed, "Honorable Judge, I can apologize for my words. Presumably you also admit that groundless accusations and unfounded suspicions are inappropriate, and since there is nothing shady about the matter of Su Feng's team itself, then why can't you follow the normal process and give me a chance to hold a hearing? ”
Tang Chuan is polite and decent, and what he says makes people unable to find fault. At least, you can't pick it up.
Everyone knows that there is a shady curtain behind the affairs of Su Feng's team, and it involves the shady scenes of the entire upper class of Huajing, but can they say it on the bright side?
No! Even if others can, neither can the military tribunals that have always claimed to be impartial!
Timo narrowed his eyes and stared at Tang Chuan, "As I said, a military tribunal is not an ordinary court, and we have no precedent for holding a hearing. ”
The person next to him also looked sternly, "Something that has no precedent, even if it doesn't violate the rules, you can't just set a precedent." Su Feng's matter is just a trivial matter, you Tang Chuan is just an ordinary military academy freshman, so many of us have received you exceptionally, and we already attach great importance to you, why do you think that relying on a few words from you, you can let the military court go according to your wishes? If this is the case, then where is the majesty of the Code of Military Justice? Where is the majesty of the military tribunal! ”
The deliberately amplified sound, like waves crashing on the shore, slapped straight towards Tangchuan. Those pairs of cold or stern eyes staring at you are like icicles piercing your flesh and blood, overwhelming you in terms of momentum and numbers.
The gray-haired old judge took a step towards Tang Chuan and frowned, "You go, student, go back and read your book well, don't come here to make a big fuss." Maybe you should go back and ask Helan if this is not the place for you. ”
The other party said a word, and did not give Tang Chuan a chance to speak at all. These are the people who can directly decide the life and death of an officer, and in this small courtroom, there may have been a famous officer who was sentenced to death here.
I have to say that they chose the reception location here, which is really a great strategy.
Every corner of the place, whether it's the high referee's box or the empty spectator area, seems cold and unforgiving, and even the air seems to squeeze you from all sides, leaving you breathless.
If Tang Chuan took a wrong step, he had no doubt that these people wearing black robes over their military uniforms would be able to send you to the dock in the next second.
Slowly exhaling a breath, Tang Chuan's gaze swept around, and his face became solemn. The long eyelashes cast a shadow in his eyes, and Tang Chuan's eyes were dark and inexplicable.
The old judge looked at him with a wandering gaze, snorted coldly in his heart, and couldn't help but turn around and glance at a staff member behind him, "Send him out, don't let anyone in in the future." When did the court-martials become a place to come and go. ”
With that, he glanced at Tang Chuan again, turned around and left.
However, before he could take a few steps, he heard Tang Chuan's voice behind him, with some doubts and puzzlement, "If General Su Feng was still alive at the beginning, do you also plan to judge him here?" Tie him up, put him in the dock, make the former hero a prisoner, and then condemn him? ”
The old judge Huo Ran turned around and glared angrily, "What did you say?" ”
The rest of the people were also in a commotion, and their faces were gloomy. They tolerated Tang Chuan for the sake of the He family's face, but what they couldn't tolerate the most was that others questioned their correctness.
Su Feng rebelled, this is an undoubted thing!
"I didn't mean anything else." Tang Chuan Zhengse, "As you said, I'm just an ordinary student, and I may be ridiculous in your eyes. I can't question your impartiality, but I'm a legal citizen of the Ottonian Empire and a registered soldier, and I can claim my legitimate claims! ”
"A lot of things are not just to think about," Moty looked at him coldly, as if looking at a stubborn stone, "take him out, don't let him come in again and waste everyone's time." ”
Since it doesn't make sense, don't say it, the military court is not afraid of the He family.
This Tang Chuan, it seems, is nothing more than that, and it doesn't take so long to observe at all.
Immediately, two guards came in, with real guns, and strode towards Tang Chuan.
Tang Chuan didn't resist and let them catch him, but those eyes were still staring at Timo and the others, "Even if you kick me out today, the matter of Su Feng's team will never be turned over." ”
However, Teemo didn't stay, as if Tang Chuan was already dispensable.
The guards hurriedly tied Tang Chuan's hands behind his back and grabbed them firmly, for fear that something would happen.
At this time, the staff member who had received Tang Chuan before hurriedly ran in, "Judge Timo, everyone! Good multimedia coming out there! They asked for an interview! ”
Media?
Timo frowned, and turned his sharp gaze to Tang Chuan - it must be Tang Chuan's ghost, but what media dares to offend the military court?
Thinking of this, Teemo immediately strode out, and the rest of the people also hula-la-la, and before they reached the gate, the sound of boiling people came to his face.
Countless reporters were stopped out of the door with microphones, and the flashing lights that had experienced the great changes of mankind and had not been eliminated shone on their excited faces, and in front of those people, there were several young soldiers who were wearing military uniforms like Tang Chuan, and there were vague teenagers between their eyebrows. lined up, young, but not small.
The first to take a step forward, it was Qin Hai, who looked at the staff of the military court in front of the door with a solemn face, "When did the military court become a forbidden place, why didn't you let us in?" ”
"This is a military court, a sacred place, and you came here with a large group of media, aren't you here to make trouble? Please leave now! ”
"Please leave immediately." The guards at the door, like the general style of the court-martial, were cold and solemn, firmly in front of the door.
But after all, the media is present, and they don't dare to do it casually.
Luo Mingguang stood in front of Qin Hai and asked in a deep voice, "What about Tang Chuan?" Where is Karakawa? ”
"Yes, what about my comrade-in-arms?" Charlie shouted loudly, afraid that others would not hear, "He went in early in the morning, and he hasn't come out until now!" ”
Rhine stood next to Charlie, frowning slightly, noble and polite, "Everyone, if you can't agree to General Su Feng's matter, please don't embarrass our captain, we are just students who admire heroes, please don't embarrass him." ”
Reporters are suddenly like cats smelling fishy, what? What are you all talking about? Su Feng? Is that General Su Feng? And Tang Chuan, Colonel Helan's boyfriend?!
"Please make this classmate clear, how is Tang Chuan???
"Students, please keep talking! What happened to General Su Feng? Why are you here to be court-martialed? Please answer! ”
……
As soon as Teemo heard the movement outside, he knew something was wrong, and he suddenly realized that he had missed something.
In the past, military tribunals were so prestigious that the media did not dare to offend them, and there was not much newsworthiness in itself. As a result, the military tribunal remained strong and mysterious, and remained outside the imperial judicial system. However, in the current Su Feng team, there are Tang Chuan, Qin Hai, Luo Mingguang, Rhine, etc., and the forces behind them are equally powerful.
With their backing, those media who already like to tell right and wrong may not be afraid. And how much the democrats, who are increasingly demanding freedom and equality, want to rip them off completely.
Wait, Karagawa!
Timo suddenly remembered something, and as soon as he turned around, he saw two guards grabbing Tang Chuan and following behind. Tang Chuan lowered his head, his eyes were blocked by bangs, and he couldn't see his expression.
Oops!
Timo immediately made people take Tang Chuan back, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than the eyes of those media reporters. The flashing light sounded, and Tang Chuan's appearance of being held hostage was photographed.
"Tang Chuan! That's Tang Chuan! ”
"Oh my God, how he got caught! What happened?! ”
"That's Colonel Helan's boyfriend! What the hell happened to him? Why are you arresting him? Please give an explanation! ”
"Please explain!"
“”
In an instant, the crowd was boiling. Even the guards with real guns and ammunition seem to be unable to resist this wave of people. And the people passing by on the avenue outside also looked at it curiously when they saw the movement here.
"It's the other way around! There is still no legal code in the eyes of this group of people! The old judge was so angry that his beard flew up. This is something that has never happened in his decades of life experience, and this is simply a blasphemy against a military tribunal! Desecrate! These hateful bastards!
Timo's face also darkened instantly, his eyes narrowed, and his sharp gaze swept over Tang Chuan, and he saw that Tang Chuan's drooping face was expressionless, as if what happened outside had nothing to do with him.
Looking at each other, Tang Chuan was still calm, and his eyes looked directly at Timo, not dodging or dodging.
A wave of anger rose from the bottom of Timo's heart, he looked at Tang Chuan, and then looked back at the crowd outside the door, and those young soldiers who were like Tang Chuan, neither humble nor arrogant, seemed to never know the height of the sky, his eyes changed several times.
Finally, just as the noise outside the door was about to reach its peak, Timo flicked his sleeves, "Let Tang Chuan go!" Let those in military uniforms come in. ”
The rest of the people looked at each other and were a little stunned for a while.
Timo had a cold face, "What are you still doing in a daze, let it go!" ”
Only then did everyone move, Tang Chuan was let go, and then the door of the reception hall was opened, and the guards set aside a way for Qin Hai and them to pass through.
Miraculously, the reporters who were shouting extremely excitedly just now did not follow Qin Hai and them in, but honestly stayed outside the cordon.
And in a flying car across the road from the court-martial, Christopher, who had witnessed a qiē, had a thoughtful expression.
Others may not know, but he can see it clearly, just now Rhine quietly gestured to the reporters behind him before entering, and then, they stayed where they were.
Although Christopher didn't know what Tang Chuan was doing inside, he could roughly guess some of the causes and consequences of the connection. Fingers rubbed his lips, eyes narrowed, and he suddenly heard Joey's words.
Tang Chuan, sure enough, you can't underestimate him.
Then he glanced at the court-martial, knocked on the window, the black glass rose, and the flying car started and slowly drove away with him.
At the same time, in the internal channel of the Su Feng team, Zhang Chaosheng, who did not follow Qin Hai and the others, threw out a photo, which shocked the teammates who were still discussing "how to rescue Major General William".
It was a photo at the door of the military court, which reporter sent it back from the front line, Zhang Chaosheng didn't know, anyway, Zhang Chaosheng received a lot of photos from all angles.
Zhang Chaosheng: The captain is right, he is really busy.
Everyone looked at the tense situation in the photo and fell silent for a while. So, while they were in a hurry here, the captain had already led people to the court-martial?
Sun Yizhi: What are they going to do? Save Major General William?
Zhang Chaosheng: Negotiation.
Liu Yuan: Negotiation? Why don't we all know, aren't we a team?
Binny: yes, we're all here, doesn't the captain believe us? This kind of thing should go together!
Zhao Yi: It's not that they don't believe it, but only a few of them can do it. You ask yourself, how many people think that Qin Hai has a deep background, so they have no fear?
Mint: That's what you do.
Bo Yan: Brother! Don't hit people like this, you didn't go on either! At this time, we have to unite as one, brother! Comrades, the revolution is at a critical juncture, and we must resolutely hold our rear positions and not give them a chance to disintegrate!
Bo Yan: Power is not terrible, and it is not terrible to really want to be hidden, what is terrible is to lose a heart that strives for progress! What is terrible is that the blood cools down and compromises with reality! Look at the captain, real man!
Bo Yan: I believe that we will be able to become an excellent team!
As soon as the hot-blooded little prince appeared on the stage, the rest of the people had no room to interject, and the younger brother couldn't bear it.
Mint: Can you shut up? It's not that I don't want to go up, it's that the person Tang Chuan asked us to ensure safety in the rear, okay? The problem now is that thirty people ran four last night, and even if Tang Chuan succeeds in negotiating with them, he may not be able to guarantee a reduction in the four-place limit.
Zhao Yi: What we need to do now is not to continue to discuss irrelevant topics, the last step of the negotiation is the most difficult step, we need the strength of the whole team, or even more people.
Zhang Chaosheng then gave a link.
Zhang Chaosheng: Let's take a closer look, the Department of Electronic Information is ready.
On the other side, Tang Chuan and Qin Hai had already been taken to an office, and Timo was talking to them alone.
"Say, what do you want to do this?" Timo gets straight to the point.
Tang Chuan rubbed his hand that had just been scratched by the guards and said, "Your Excellency, you have also seen the current situation. I can choose to give up on the matter of the hearing, after all, I don't want to bring it to the surface, it won't do us any good. So, I'd like you to do me a favor and reduce the number of people in Sufeng's squad to 26. ”
"Impossible." Teemo outright refused.
"But are you really willing to be used as a gunman by the council, Your Majesty?" Tang Chuan rubbed his wrists and asked with a smile: "I know that the military tribunal has its own insistence and will never participate in taking sides, but this also happens to be the point where the council uses you, isn't it?" ”
Timo declined to comment.
Qin Hai then said: "Your Excellency, how can the military court be neutral, after all, it is directly linked to the military department. Although we want to rebuild the Sufeng team, which is in conflict with your intentions, we are still on the same line when it comes to the council, aren't we? ”
Teemo looked at them with a solemn expression, "You're all right, but it's not enough to impress me. You didn't just want to talk to me about this when you got the opportunity to negotiate with me this week, did you? ”
"Of course not, it's just a preliminary courtship, and I know he's useless." Tang Chuan said, opening the terminal to show him an interface, gentle and polite, "Please forgive us for our recklessness, if it is not a last resort, we are not willing to do this." But for us, this is the last resort. I believe that Your Excellency Judge has just seen those reporters outside, you may not often watch the news on the Internet, and you don't know how powerful public opinion and public voice are, but believe me, it can look at the power of an antimatter annihilation bomb. If you can't accede to our request, then these articles, petitions, including all the disputes just before the military court, will be made public by my teammates as soon as possible. We will launch a trial from tens of millions of people. ”
