On the walls of the wards, holographic projections dutifully mimic the scenery outside the window.

The dark green leaves were dappled with sunlight, and two sparrows were chirping in the branches, and even one of them tilted his head and seemed to look curiously into the window.

This kind of situation is imitated too realistically, which almost gives people the illusion that the years are quiet.

Shang Si stood beside the bedside.

The person on the hospital bed was still sleeping quietly, breathing evenly and steadily.

Shang Si looked at the man quietly, his face after falling asleep faded from his former lazy demeanor, and his sharp and tough silhouette was exposed.

Sleeping should be the most relaxing moment for a person, but for people in the hospital bed, such moments are still exhausted, and even more obvious because there is less deliberate cover-up.

Shang Si knew that some things were not as simple as Xiao Yi's appearance. All the intrigues and games are pressed on this person's shoulders, and his every step is walking on thin ice.

Looking at the other party's frowning brows, Shang Si suddenly wanted to reach out and soothe him.

I don't want him to be so tired, I don't want him to work so hard...... Shang Si suddenly had such an abrupt idea in his heart.

Then for a moment, he seemed to understand.

Why did he have such a situation, and why did he have that abnormal perception when he was rescued in the Shattered Star Belt.

It's all because ......

He likes him......

You can't even describe such feelings in terms of liking alone.

Unknowingly, he seems to be in love with each other.

This is a surprising conclusion, but it is the only one that explains his actions.

Shang Si's black eyes became deeper and deeper, and all kinds of emotions flowed under his eyes, but in the end, they all calmed down.

He is in love with each other, this is undeniable, and he will not deny it.

So, what about that after confirming this?

Should you confess directly, or slowly corrode each other by dripping water through stones?

Shang Si hesitated a little.

At this moment, the man in the hospital bed opened his eyes.

"Yo, here it is." Xiao Yi and Shang Si said hello, and because they had just woken up, there was still a hint of ambiguity in their voices. Then he looked at the analog clock in the hospital room.

"What time is it? Ay?! I slept for six hours! ”

Shang Si nodded.

"You should have woken me up sooner." Xiao Yi said, but he also knew that the other party would definitely not wake him up when he saw him sleeping.

Sure enough, Xiao Yitong's expression knew that his words would not work again.

This is the characteristic of his junior, if he makes up his mind, no matter what you say or how you say it, he will listen to it with a serious expression, and then after listening, he will continue to do what he should do, completely unaffected, as if you never told him.

Sometimes it can really people off to death.

Xiao Yi thought, and then suddenly felt very funny.

Shang Si was a little puzzled, obviously nothing happened, why did the seniors suddenly laugh?

Seeing the other party's confused look, Xiao Yi felt even more colatable.

After a laugh, Xiao Yi straightened his face.

"Now let's get down to business." Xiao Yi said, "You're curious why I directly agreed to join Monica's camp?" ”

Shang Si nodded: "It's not perfunctory. ”

Shang Si said, he could see that Xiao Yi definitely did not have a plan to agree to Monica first and then wait for the opportunity to reverse, he really wanted to join Monica's side.

"Why don't you appeal?" Shang Si said.

That's the question he's wondering about until now.

With Xiao Yi's identity, even if he is declared treasonous, he has a chance to appeal. He could have written a report on the truth of the matter and submitted it to the parliament, so as to clear his name.

Xiao Yi smiled when he heard this, and looked at Shang Si: "Do you think it is useful for me to appeal?" ”

The meaning of Xiao Yi's words is very clear.

Shang Si was stunned.

Complaint...... Isn't it useful?

Can Xiao Yi's status, his complaint will be directly considered in the parliament and read in front of all the parliamentarians, so it's useless?

Xiao Yi seemed to see through his thoughts, and lightly stated a fact: "If it was useful, I wouldn't retire." ”

Xiao Yi continued: "Whether I appeal or use other methods to prove that I am not treasonous, it is impossible for the parliament to retract the initial decision. I was found guilty not on the basis of the truth of the matter, but on the fact that they needed me guilty. ”

"Therefore, no matter what evidence I present, it will not be admissible, and the final result will still be upheld."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell silent.

Xiao Yi's gaze stayed on the young man who hung his head and was silent.

Still too young. Xiao Yi thought. I haven't experienced real darkness, so I can't see through the filth that lies beneath the calm surface.

Xiao Yi thought about it, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart. If he could, he would like to protect the people in front of him under his wings, and live in the light all his life, without being infected with a little mud. But he also knew that it was impossible.

Shansi is not a fragile bird, but a goshawk that will soar into the sky. Even though he is still very young, he will grow. He could not have broken his wings for his own selfish desires at this time.

After being silent for a long time, Shang Si finally raised his head and looked at Xiao Yi.

"Understood?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Understood." Shang Si nodded.

Tong guò Xiao Yi's words, Shang thought a lot.

Political struggles never need the truth, they only need to fight the opponent. And Xiao Yi happens to be the target of most people in the Federal Assembly now.

The prestige that Xiao Yi established during the war, in addition to his military exploits, also had strong propaganda from the Federation at the beginning. They needed to establish a god of war at that time, so that people could build up the confidence to win. But this also caused a result, that is, after the war, Xiao Yi's prestige had reached an incredible height.

At that time, Xiao Yi's voice was the highest in the federal election, and there was hardly any candidate who could be compared with him, if Xiao Yi hadn't taken the initiative to announce that he would not participate in the election, then he would definitely sit on the throne of the president.

It's just that even if Xiao Yi made a clear concession in this matter, out of fear of Xiao Yi's prestige, the parliament began to secretly plan to suppress Xiao Yi. This is also why Xiao Yi's reports are almost invisible on the news, and in the curriculum of the military school, Xiao Yi's existence is weakened.

Then, Xiao Yi's retirement showed the attitude of the parliament.

But even if Xiao Yi's prestige has declined a lot because of decades of suppression, even if Xiao Yi retires, the people in the parliament can't rest assured of him. They were extremely afraid of this general who disagreed with them, and they needed a reason to completely suppress Xiao Yi.

This time, Zheng Duan gave them an excellent excuse.

Treason.

Such a crime, no matter how prestige it may have among the people, will fall apart under such a crime. If public opinion is guided well, then Xiao Yi will even be scolded by everyone. If that day comes, they will be able to solve their own troubles without much effort.

Shang thought about this, and he knew the reason why Xiao Yi did not choose to appeal.

Because it's useless at all.

Xiao Yi saw that Shang understood his thoughts, so he continued: "In addition to this reason, there are other factors for me to join Monica's camp. ”

"Do you know what the current economic pillar industry of the Shengyue Federation is?" Xiao Yi asked.

Although Shang Si didn't care much, he also knew something: "The UGA-107 ore industry is the pillar of the industry. ”

Xiao Yi nodded: "Seventy percent of the GDP of the Shengyue Federation is generated by UGA-107 ore, and similarly, UGA-107 ore mining, processing and other auxiliary industries provide employment opportunities for sixty percent of the population of the Federation. Without UGA-107 ore, the Federation's economy would not have recovered so quickly. ”

It was impossible for Xiao Yi to bring up this matter casually, Shang Si heard Xiao Yi say this, and immediately reacted: "You mean, there is a problem with the UGA-107 industry?" ”

"It's not the industry that's wrong." Xiao Yi said, "It's more rooted." The storage of UGA-107 ore in the Shengyue Federation is close to exhaustion. ”

Shang Si was taken aback.

"I don't believe it, do you?" Xiao Yi said, "According to the number announced by the federal government at the beginning, the ore of UGA-107 can be mined for at least two hundred years, how can it be depleted in such a short period of less than fifty years?" ”

"Because the parliament at that time passed a secret resolution on the predatory exploitation of UGA-107 to stimulate economic recovery."

"Of course, the parliament was not unaware of the dangers of doing so, but the parliament at that time thought that the situation could be controlled, and when the economic system of predatory exploitation with UGA-107 had been formed, they realized that the system of interests that had been formed could not be broken at all, because once it was broken, it could trigger a large-scale economic crisis."

"But now, UGA-107 is facing resource depletion, and this should be the time to make a decision, if the decision is made during this time, and there is a buffer of time, then even if there will be a large economic turmoil, the damage caused will be much lighter than the loss caused by trying to find a way after UGA-107 is completely depleted in the end. But parliament is now desperately trying to whitewash the peace, because those in power are afraid of losing the upper hand in the elections. In order to maintain the illusion of economic prosperity, they branded the idea of an energy mine in An Shing Hong Province. But first, this kind of thinking is fundamentally a symptom rather than a root cause, and if other advantageous industries are not established, how long can the energy mines in Anxing Province be supported? And secondly, if they want to get the energy mine from Monica, those people in the council are too naïve. ”

"This matter really needs to be solved as much as possible." Shang Si said, because if it is not enough, then once the matter breaks out, then the Shengyue Federation will be completely in turmoil, and in this situation, the damage caused will not be less than the war.

But Shang Si still didn't understand a little, and he asked: "As far as I know, Monica doesn't want to overthrow the rule of the Shengyue Federal Council, but wants to restore the ** status of the former principality in Anxing Province. So, what's the use of us joining Monica's side? ”

Xiao Yi smiled: "Do you think what Monica is going to do, we have to do what she asks?" ”

"Moreover, you should have heard an ancient earth idiom." Xiao Yi looked at Shang Si.

Shang Si was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke, spit out four words:

"Yellow robe and ......"
