Chapter 597: Just Before Dawn (6000 Words Big Chapter!) )
The moment the "Immortal Bird" was cut off from the ground, it was already like a hedgehog that had been stimulated, the ship's first-level combat alarm was sounded, the engine spewed out blue flames and began to maneuver into the void, the main gun began to charge, the secondary gun ports were all opened, and all the soldiers who had entered the battle position in advance had anger in their eyes, and their hands had been empty and pressed the fire button.
The top brass of the independent fleet, including Hao Dai'er, were furious, and what was originally just a routine combat readiness turned out to be a crisis, and the crisis actually came from within the Federation. Tang Lang and Ming Yueshang lost contact soon after they descended to the surface of the planet, which was almost impossible with the existing powerful communication technology, especially for the Immortal Bird, which had experienced the baptism of a magnetic storm.
There is only one possibility, and if electromagnetic shielding technology is used on the ground, it is natural to want to do something.
The other two frigates also received a notification that the Immortal Bird would launch an attack on Daliang Star at the same time, and in the state of not receiving a response to the call to Ming Yuesheng, the two frigates from the central galaxy were not pedantic, and quickly made the same choice.
The armed patrol ships and railguns located in the space of Liang Xing were obviously also prepared, and they also made signs of attack, Hao Dai'er's eyes showed a fierce light, her hand touched the command seat, and she was ready to spit out the word "attack" without hesitation.
There are Tang Lang and Ming Yueshang on the ground and the brothers of the mecha battalion, they may be under attack, there is only so much time left for her to think about it, and the attitude of those armed patrol ships has already explained everything, Da Liang Xing, something happened.
At this moment, Tang Lang's image suddenly appeared, and Tang Lang, who had already walked out of the mecha, had an indifferent expression: "Lift the attack state, you guys retreat 1 million kilometers first." ”
"Commander!" Hao Dai'er was slightly anxious, and listened to Tang Lang continue: "An ordinary investigation, the misunderstanding will be cleared up soon, listen to my orders." According to the regulations on secrecy, the whole army is not allowed to report this matter to the outside world without authorization, and wait for a day before making a decision. ”
"Yes!" Looking coldly at the heavily loaded guards behind Tang Lang, Hao Daier had no choice but to order: "The whole ship retreats, and the "Yu Qian" and "Li Dingguo" are also notified. ”
Seeing that the three starships with arrows and crossbows left the orbital circle and fled into the void under Tang Lang's order, Zhou Dunhou smiled again, and once again invited Tang Lang and the fat man who took the initiative to ask for it into a well-guarded armored car, while Ming Yueshang entered a luxurious army vehicle.
The mecha battalion commanded by Anji was coerced by a mecha regiment into the mecha camp next to the airport, although in order not to exacerbate the conflict, the mecha battalion could not be disarmed, but there was a mecha regiment around the camp to build various alloy walls and alloy thorns and other fortifications to prevent mecha charges, and even deployed self-propelled energy cannons in a farther distance, if the mecha battalion in the camp moved, they would be greeted with a more terrible blow than before.
Logically speaking, they have basically lost the ability to resist.
The starship was forced to leave, Tang Lang and Ming Yueshang were taken away separately, and the mecha guards were confined by armed circles, which was a relief for the officials of Daliang Xing, large and small.
After all, it was to investigate a major general of the Federation with arms, and there may be the head of the Federation and the chief of military affairs standing behind him, but this is led by Vice Speaker Zhou, even the senior officials of Da Liang Xing do not dare to have any objections to this political tycoon who has been deeply rooted in the political arena of Da Liang Xing for more than 20 years.
Although he is not the king of Da Liang Xing, in the past few decades, there have been many dignitaries of Da Liang Xing who have been promoted by his hands, from the star commander to the deputy star commander to the police station chief to the garrison commander, almost all of them are his subordinates, so to speak, this is his private kingdom. His words are more effective than federal laws.
Over the years, no one dared to challenge his authority, but the final outcome was that they all disappeared, either because of illness or because of sudden disasters, and the cause of everyone's death was extremely normal, but it was death. And over the years, perhaps he has ascended to the high position of deputy speaker of the parliament, and he has also made an exception to allow dissenting forces to exist in the government, but opposition is opposition, but it is not strong enough, and it can't make any big waves, and the voice of opposition has reached the end of Liang Xing, and it rarely appears in the federation.
The Daliang Star Government Affairs Center is the highest-level government agency on this planet, and even if the star commander wants to implement a certain policy on the planet, he must conduct a government affairs review here and pass it.
This afternoon, a political proposal put forward by Tu Xingzhi, the head of the Liang Xingxing, caused a wave of opponents.
The Führer's Government condolence delegation arrived in Daliangxing, and the Daliangxing government was supposed to hold a welcoming ceremony to welcome them in the evening, but because Lieutenant Ming Yueshang, an important member of the condolence delegation, was involved in Major General Tang Lang, who was investigated by the FBI, the matter was suspended, and Lieutenant Mingyueshang temporarily rested at the 10-star Burj Al Arj Hotel, the most upscale in Daliangxing, and waited for everything to come out before holding a welcome ceremony.
The fiercest opponents are Mr. Sun, the current third-level member of the Daliangxing People's Assembly, and Sun Jian, who is the mayor of a remote city in Daliangxing. The Sun family is a native of Daliang Xing, not a family, but the family has always had people who have served in the Daliang Star government, and the most amazing person who has ever produced has also served as the deputy star chief of Daliang Xing.
Old Man Sun was also a mayor 20 years ago, and after retirement, he was still keen on the affairs of Liang Xing, and was elected as a third-level people's councilor who did not receive a salary, and he was a stubborn old man who was a headache for the previous star chiefs. Fortunately, the development of Daliangxing is thriving, as long as it is not too outrageous, Old Man Sun, who is well versed in the officialdom of "no fish until the Qing Dynasty", will not embarrass the rulers.
Although the youngest son he loved the most and was thought to inherit his mantle was demoted to Ganyuan City, which has the worst environment on the planet, as the mayor because of him, he did not provoke the thorns of many big names in Liang Xing because of this.
It can be said that this is an 80-year-old man who is both conservative and stubborn and can accept the dirt of officialdom and is very suitable for officialdom.
But today, he unexpectedly and resolutely objected, and even said that "this is a conspiracy, not a political infighting, but a matter of federal security!" The name of the crown is on the heads of the heads of the stars of the Great Liang, and even more so, the spearhead is pointed at Zhou Dunhou, who is sitting in the middle of the rostrum.
And he is no longer a member of the Liang Xing government, according to federal rules, he can only sit in the auditorium and is not qualified to sit in the collegial seat, let alone the main seat of the rostrum.
It can also be seen that Zhou Dunhou's influence on Da Liang Xing's political arena is so great and so unruly, but no one raised any objections, although he has sat in that position for ten years.
At this time, Old Man Sun was stretching out a finger and pointing forward: "The unauthorized seizure of a major general of the Federation, this is the decision of the Federal Assembly, I can't refute it, but the house arrest in disguise is an important person in the condolence group of the Führer's Mansion, especially if the other party is still the daughter of my Führer, this kind of thing is no longer the so-called political dumping, but a provocation, especially when the Confederation has entered wartime, it can even be called a rebellion, I hope that my Liangxing government can make a correct judgment, not because of a certain person, And to pull the entire Liang Star into the abyss, we are the people's Liang Xing, not a certain person's Liang Xing. ”
"Shut up! Member Sun, please be aware of your identity, you can raise questions about a government resolution, but you will be held legally responsible for making unfounded accusations. The star commander of the Great Liang Star snorted angrily.
"I suggest that Sun Changwei, who is outrageous, be kicked out of the venue!" Someone chimed in.
"Whoever dares to touch my father, I will make the ugliness of today's meeting hall public!" Although Sun Jian, the youngest son of Old Man Sun, is also in his 40s, he does not give an inch in defending his father, stands up on the spot, and stands with his father.
The atmosphere in the venue fell silent for a while.
"Hehe, Councilor Sun, if I understand correctly, the person you just mentioned refers to me, Zhou Dunhou!" Zhou Dunhou, who was on the rostrum, suddenly smiled lightly and spoke. "First of all, let me point out your first mistake. That's not called unauthorized seizure, it was authorized by the People's Assembly, and the Federal Secrecy Bureau made a decision very cautiously after research, after all, it was the first time in thousands of years that the Federation launched an investigation into a Victory Medal winner, and this authorization, the Daliangxing government and the garrison command have verified that the key is correct, and they are not acting for me Zhou Dunhou alone, but for Daliangxing to serve the entire Southwest Federation.
Then he stretched out two fingers, "Second, your so-called political tilting does not exist, the head of Ming Donglai and the chief of Changsun Hong are sending troops to fight against the Jiepeng Empire day and night, and we, the parliamentarians, can only help them do logistical work, and the entire federation is serving the Great Patriotic War. "Political dumping at this time is only a remark made by some idiots who don't understand politics."
Then, his gaze became calm, and he stretched out a third finger to the two people standing up opposite: "Third, what your Councilor Sun said is so righteous and awe-inspiring, as if you are a federal hero, then let's take a look at what your Sun family is doing!" ”
With Zhou Dunhou's voice, a video was played on the big screen in the venue: a group of soldiers broke into an office building like wolves.
The huge "Hongtu Company" reminds everyone here that it is the Sun family's industry. The soldiers entered the office building, and after searching in the warehouse, several large bags of white powder were turned out in extremely secret places, and at the end of the picture, a middle-aged man desperately trying to defend himself was smashed on the head with the butt of a gun, and then dragged out by the soldier with one leg.
"You are framed!" The 80-year-old man Sun had to stretch his hair and pointed angrily at the smiling Zhou Dunhou.
Sun Jian was already clenching his fists, his eyes were red and moist as he looked at his brother who had been knocked to the ground on the screen, and watched as the property belonging to the Sun family was blocked by a group of military police in such a low-level and ridiculously humiliating way.
Looking at the famous federal figure in front of him for his generosity and rigor, Sun Jian felt a chill, this was obviously not a temporary idea, but a premeditated plan, and all the people on Daliang Star who dared to oppose him may be on this list. The reason couldn't be simpler, shut them up.
And what is he trying to hide with such a deliberate mind? Even if he took it out, except for the house arrest of Ming Yueshang, which did not conform to the rules, the others were all regular federal procedures.
It's scary to think about!
"Hehe, do you know what that white powder is? Let's just say it's a planting? Can I doubt that you Sun Changwei also know something? Zhou Dunhou smiled gently. Now, because the immediate family members of the two of you are involved in crimes, you are no longer eligible to participate in the political council, and I sincerely hope that the two of you are not involved, otherwise, we may meet in court next time. ”
"Conspiracy always exists in the shadows, and sooner or later the darkness will be dispelled by the sun, and you people will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history for becoming accomplices of some people." The old man turned around angrily and left the government center with his youngest son and three other councillors who did not want to agree.
Stepping out of the gate of the majestic government affairs center, the huge building behind him glowed in the twilight, and the old man, who was already in his 80s, raised his head and looked at the sky, the wind blew, and the scene in front of him was beautiful, but he only felt that it was dark and silent.
For an old man who has experienced a few things in the world, this is the biggest darkness he has experienced in his life, or rather, the biggest darkness in the entire Daliang Star. A terrifying sense of fear came over him, perhaps, the person who did these things didn't just want to drag Liang Xing into the darkness!
"Father。。。。。。 Sun Jian wanted to say something to comfort the old man, but then he was a little frightened.
There was no military or police escort at the entrance of the government affairs center, which was supposed to be heavily guarded, but on the opposite side, there were three groups of about ten people walking towards this side from three directions, their eyes staring at the five people standing at the door.
Their hands were already touching their bosoms.
Not good, Sun Jian subconsciously touched his waist, where there was his self-defense pistol.
Sun Changwei stopped his son from pulling out his gun in vain, but his face was filled with arrogance, "Son, are you afraid of death!" ”
The other three beside him were already chattering with their teeth.
Sun Jian had tears in his eyes, "Father, I'll accompany you!" ”
"Good, good son! Now, let's wait quietly! My Chinese ancestors once had a saying: I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood. Perhaps, our death can wake up the already numb Liang Xing. Our Sun family has never had any big names, but today, haha, there are two of them. ”
"Puff puff!"
Beams of striking, dazzling energy weave wildly in front of the government center, which represents the dignity of the federal government, and blood splattered into a blood mist alternately splatters.
Liang Xing, a sober figure in the political arena who questioned Zhou Dunhou who covered the sky with one hand, was purged in front of him! In the numb darkness, the people who were still stubborn in lighting the light turned into several lifeless corpses in front of a group of numb people in this shameful way, falling into darkness forever.
Old man Sun was facing the sky on his back, there was a hole in his forehead that was burned by the rough heat of his thumb, and his youngest son Sun Jian was lying on his body, who had been shot several times and had long since died. The old man's eyes were open, reflecting the sky, and the last touch of his eyes was engraved with a smile and sorrow for righteousness.
This scene was finally engraved on the monument opposite the Daliangxing Government Affairs Center, reminding the newly appointed bigwigs sitting here: You can choose to be dark, but there will always be people who stubbornly look for the light, and the light will come sooner or later.
And those who have witnessed and congratulated themselves on the right team, after the truth is revealed, their fate has also been fixed and cannot be changed. As the old man who finally became the most famous big man in the Sun family as he wished, they will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
After the victory of the war, the first decree of the new head of the Federal Federation was that the direct descendants of the large and small officials who once sat in this center were not allowed to join the army, politics, business, or religion within five generations, and the punishment was severe, creating a precedent for the punishment of the federal government in the democratic era.
。。。。。。。
The fat man and Tang Lang entered the armored car, and then changed to a gyroplane, and an hour later, they were sent to the most unheard and darkest "air pirate" prison in Daliang Xing!
The people who are imprisoned here are all armed smugglers and air pirates who loot small caravans in the starry sky, and they are felons who kill people without blinking, so the security level has always been extremely high, in addition to armed guards, there are even mecha troops, obviously, it is for Tang Lang.
As soon as they got out of the car, the two were dragged by eight armed guards to the deepest part of the prison.
And in the surrounding cubicles closed by steel grilles, some of them came with "Knock knock! The slapping of the steel wall, some of the grilles were vigorously shaken to the point of "Kuang Kuang", which was mixed with "Little bitch!" "Tender meat with fine skin! There were also some people, who had done nothing, just stood in the room, quietly watching them, but their eyes were grim and their lips were smiling.
Here, it's like the bottom of hell, no matter how strong a soldier is, when he arrives here, he may not be at the top of the food chain, because, here, there are no rules.
Walking into a cell in the innermost corner, there were two prison chairs, and the two of them sat in the alloy chair with a gun pointed at them, and the leader wearing a tactical helmet stood in front of them with his arms crossed.
"Do you know what you're doing?" The fat man looked around and asked in a cold voice. "We can accept being investigated, but this should not be where we came before we were convicted."
The leader, who had not spoken all this time, and even hid his face behind the tactical helmet, suddenly opened his mask, revealing a thin face that Tang Lang looked familiar with: "Major General Tang Lang, do you remember me?" ”
Tang Lang glanced at the unlucky thin man very seriously, recalled it very seriously, and replied to him very seriously: "I'm sorry, I don't think we have met much." ”
"Haha! Major General Tang Lang is really a noble man who forgets things! It's only been a few months! The thin man laughed melancholy, and then his face turned gloomy. Of course, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have become a major general of the Federation, and how can you, the person who was demoted to captain because of you, take it to heart. ”
"However, this time is also that time, this time, you have neither your comrades-in-arms to cheer you on, nor will Admiral Tang save you in the future! Even if that old man knew, I'm afraid there would be no fleet available at this time. The thin man looked at Tang Lang with an almost hideous look. Don't look at me like that anymore, you used to have a backstage where you could pretend to be forced, but now 。。。。。。 ”
Then he leaned in front of Tang Lang and grabbed his fluffy hair, "I heard that you are very powerful?" Once single-handedly and a senior mecha master like Miyamoto Tsuyoshi! Tsk, no wonder he was awarded the Victory Medal! ”
"But what!" Pointing to the shooting hole on the wall, the thin man replied to Tang Lang with the words that Qin Chong threatened him back then: "Just answer you with the words that that person threatened me, even if you are the god of war in the world, those can easily beat you into a puddle of flesh, and I don't need to step on it with my feet." ”
"What, it's still stiff?" The thin man looked at the disdain that flashed in Tang Lang's eyes as before, and his anger rose from his heart, clenched his fists, and shook them down violently.
"Peng!" Tang Lang's black hair fluttered wildly on his forehead, and his head was tilted to one side.
Tang Lang turned his head, blood slashed down the corners of his forehead, and his clear eyebrows flowed, but his face did not change at all, and he looked at this thin man who was obviously a little angry and quietly indifferent.
"I don't know when I did you so much damage, but to be honest, it's really rare to hurt me like this!" Facing the thin man with an even hideous face, Tang Lang finally spoke, and he actually laughed, "You ask for more blessings." ”
"I should tell you this sentence!" The thin man got up, feeling that he was already powerful enough, and smiled gloomily, "Now is just the beginning, when I use some means, you will even tell you about peeing your pants when you were three years old, Mr. Tang Lang from the Great Eagle Empire, believe me, you will have the most unforgettable time in your life!" ”
The chairs that held the two were pushed into each cell, and the heavy fence fell.
For a moment, it seemed to be quiet for a while.
Tang Lang sat on the cold chair like this, and seemed to regard this place as a resting place.
Over there, the fat man was even more excessive, and it didn't take long for the rumbling snoring to be heard.
Everywhere you have to keep your physical strength fully rested to deal with the changes, instead of hopeless panic and add pressure, since they have gone deep into the tiger's den, Tang Lang and the fat man understand this truth better.
And now, they just have to wait, waiting for the prey that they think is hunters.
The bait is already so sweet and delicious, there's no reason why they shouldn't come, right?
In the void, two medium-sized transport ships sprayed with the words "Daliang Xing's special product transport ship", accompanied by three frigates, were heading towards Daliang Xing at high speed.
Their authorization code has been verified at several checkpoints, and everything appears to be normal.
Perhaps, it was only when they did not enter the official airport where the goods should be inspected but went straight to a small private airport on the other side of the planet that it was worth raising the suspicion of several righteous inspectors.
But what's the use! On the Great Liang Star, it is no surprise that the companies that are taken care of by the bigwigs who cover the sky with one hand occasionally use merchant ships to smuggle some federal contraband.
The right had to be kept in the cage of the system, but it was lost in this time period. This is the most terrible phenomenon in the political arena since the rise of Liang Xing, led by Zhou Dunhou, but the improvement in the quality of life of ordinary residents has masked the ugliness of all this, and the original effective supervision mechanism of the federation has become a dead talk with the crazy growth of personal power.
As later generations recorded this event in the star of Liang described: this is the darkest moment of the star of the star, just like before dawn.
