Chapter 596: Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountains (two chapters in one)
Although Vice Speaker Zhou Dunhou came from a humble background, due to the support of the previous Speaker and his strong personal ability, he occupies an extremely important position in the People's Assembly, and even my father and Chief Governor Changsun are afraid of him. Ming Yueshang reminded Tang Lang. The reason why he is here is because Da Liang Xing was created by him, and he has unparalleled prestige here, and it can be said that the officials from the star chief to the mayor here are all from his disciples. If he can come, it can be regarded as a great way to save face for the FΓΌhrer and the Ministry of Military Affairs. β
Ming Yueshang was very smart, and intuitively felt that Tang Lang was not particularly interested in this big man of the Federation, and immediately reminded Tang Lang very vaguely not to make mistakes in this. The Deputy Speaker of the People's Assembly, although he does not hold the power of the people's parliament, can propose impeachment against both the head of the government and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and is an extremely powerful political force in the Federation.
What's more, this is the birthplace of his business for decades, and it is his land, and it is undoubtedly an extremely unwise choice to offend him.
As for why Tang Lang suddenly became hostile to such a big man, Ming Yueshang didn't think about it deeply, almost all the soldiers didn't have a good impression of this kind of politician who talked and laughed on the table, but didn't know how to do a little dirty behind his back, and Ming Yueshang was the same.
But obviously, Tang Lang didn't take his senior sister's reminder to heart. As the supreme commander of the three ships escorting her, he has the highest decision-making power.
Mingyue is dressed on Pegasus, and it is basically little Jacob and Angie who take turns to accompany her.
But this time, Tang Lang insisted on going his own way, not only asking all the members of the condolence group to stay on the three starships for the time being, but also he, the commander, personally went out with the fat man and Anji, two right-hand men, carrying a mecha battalion, accompanied Ming Yueshang to the airport, and the welcome ceremony that had been prepared in the airport.
"It is an honor for Miss Mingyue and the condolence group to visit Daliangxing, and I am Zhou Dunhou, on behalf of the 500 million federal people of Daliangxing, warmly welcome." On the screen, an old man with frost-white hair, strict clothes and a righteous face officially extended an invitation to Ming Yueshang, who was already ready to go.
"I've been waiting for a long time." Ming Yueshang bowed slightly to this powerful Liang Xing, a politician who also had a place in the Southwest Federation, to express his salute.
Tang Lang's face standing beside her remained unchanged, his eyes were blazing and he couldn't see anything abnormal, and after the old man's eyes swept over curiously, he greeted the big man with a smile.
The Federation has a rule that in wartime, all members of the Union do not have to salute except for their superiors, which is a privilege granted by the Federation to soldiers. Except, of course, the head of the Confederation, who, in wartime, was considered the commander-in-chief of the Confederation.
The old man obviously knew this rule, and in addition to showing a hint of surprise in his eyes at the rank of major general worn by the young Tang Lang on his chest, he also nodded at Tang Lang with a warm face.
Everything seems normal.
Perhaps only Tang Lang himself knows that this is the biggest abnormality.
The entire Federation was looking for who was covering up the mercenary group's artificial jump, and why the energy detectors that were densely packed in the void didn't give an alarm, but apparently the mercenaries didn't leave any evidence, and they accurately destroyed several energy detectors near the artificial jump point. There was no alarm data in the data centers on all the planets, and the deeply hidden and cunning traitors were extremely aware of these procedures, erasing all possible traces in advance, and causing a bottleneck in the investigation that the Federation had quietly initiated.
At such a critical moment, Ming Yueshang led a condolence group to visit the major planets of the Tianquan Galaxy, in addition to appeasing the people, the Federation naturally also had the intention of secretly investigating the key figures of the governments and armies of each planet. It's just that so far, no clues have been found.
But no matter how cunning the traitor is, he will not know that there is an extraterritorial artificial brain in this world that surpasses the technology of this era. In the past few days, Hob Meat has been connected to the network, and he has used his terrifying computing power to surpass the central brain of the Federation for data analysis, and Daliang Star is the planet with the greatest variability among the many human-inhabited planets in the Tianquan Galaxy.
Therefore, Tang Lang would give Admiral Zhou Tai a suggestion to change the way of thinking and lure the mercenaries from the universe to the interior of the planet, although Admiral Zhou Tai did not trust Tang Lang's so-called algorithm to get the highest probability of rebellion on the high-level of the agricultural planet of Daliang Xing, after all, it was the territory of the famous Vice Speaker of the Federation, but Tang Lang finally persuaded him.
Regardless of whether it is or not, under the protection of his entire fleet, Ming Yueshang will always attract mercenaries to the interior of the planet, which is far easier to annihilate than in the void where they can escape, at least not lose.
All this, except for Zhou Tai, his lieutenant chief of staff and Tang Lang, even Ming Yueshang herself didn't know, she only knew that she was a bait, like a piece of fresh meat, attracting the mercenary group that smelled delicious to the encirclement of the 9th Fleet.
Originally, Tang Lang was only suspicious of Da Liang Xing, but the moment he arrived at Da Liang Xing's five million kilometers, his suspicion of Da Liang Xing rose sharply, and there were too many patrol ships to welcome them. Only a battle-hardened warrior like him could feel through the steel the importance of the armed patrol ships that seemed to protect but were actually monitoring him as a civilian starship.
The reason why he attaches importance to it is naturally not because of the immortal bird itself, but because there is Ming Yueshang among them, and when he sees this federal bigwig again, Tang Lang is even more sure in his heart, the trap he is looking for, I am afraid that he has finally found the right place.
His rank of major general was not announced to the world, but it was jointly signed by the chief of military affairs and the head of state, and whoever it was replaced had to be surprised enough when he saw such a young major general. This big man naturally has enough level and qualifications to know about Tang Lang's existence, but it doesn't mean that he can be at ease, especially in such a wartime.
That can only show one problem, he knows Tang Lang, and the reason why he pretended not to know and didn't use the hypocritical politeness that politicians are used to is because he wants to hide something.
That's a duck that is afraid of cooking, fly!
After the screen faded down, the corners of Tang Lang's mouth arced with a hint of sarcasm.
The planet below is obviously a trap, but it is unknown who this trap is for.
"What are you suspecting?" When the two walked onto the traffic ship and sat down face to face, Ming Yueshang asked her doubts.
"Until there is conclusive evidence, all suspicions can only be suspicions." Tang Lang shook his head lightly. "Mingyue, you're a smart girl, you know, there are some risks we have to take. Still, do you believe me? β
After Ming Yueshang was stunned for a short time, a smile appeared on Mingmei's face: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have chosen your Immortal Bird cruise ship in the face of the captains of the 9th Fleet." But those captains who want to eat people are never expected, I know the personality of your guy who likes to play pigs and eat tigers the most, sure enough, tsk, it only takes 10 seconds to accelerate to 10,000 kilometers per second, and you can accelerate to full speed in less than 1 minute, your starship will not be the latest product of the Federation! β
"Ahem, the camouflage is the work of the Ruge, but the engine of the Immortal Bird has been specially modified by me according to the teacher's design, don't go far." Tang Lang coughed dryly twice, and looked at Mingyueshang with a straight face. "If something happens, remember, just protect yourself, there are immortal birds, they won't die before the fish we catch are hooked, we need to be patient."
"Good!" Ming Yueshang glanced at Tang Lang deeply, squinting at the airport that was about to land. "No wonder you let all three starships stay outside the planet's orbit, it turns out that there are really strange things here! Perhaps, the rise of Vice Speaker Zhou, as my father said, was a little too surprising to be amazing! β
γγγγγγγ
Watching the three landing ships slowly sail towards the airport, Hao Dai'er's face flashed coldly, and she ordered: "Order the whole ship to enter combat readiness!" β
The appearance of the Immortal Bird does not show any changes, but in the starship of the Immortal Bird, all the combatants have been in place, and the star fighter pilot is also in the voice of Yunmo's order, put on a combat helmet and enter the cockpit, and line up in twos and threes, as long as the high-pressure door from the cabin is opened, all 18 Golden Eagle fighters can fly out of the starship within 10 seconds. In the mecha landing capsule, one mecha after another has entered the landing assault ship under the command of Jacob Jr.
The energy engine has already begun to charge, as long as the bridge is ordered, the energy shield can be raised, and the main gun can be charged to more than 70%, and those railguns in the orbital circle will be mercilessly smashed into flying ashes.
On the ground, the landing ship has arrived at the airport, Ming Yueshang is walking in the front alone, Tang Lang is controlling a Xiang Yu to walk beside her, and the fat man is controlling the Ming warriors who have been modified by him with a mecha battalion to escort on both sides, the missile launchers of each mecha have been opened, the energy cannon barrel has also been extended, and the heavy machine gun holes have also been opened.
Zhou Dunru stood at the end of the red carpet with a pair of suits and leather shoes, and watched a mecha walk in with Ming Yuesheng, still maintaining a rigorous face, without the slightest abnormality.
It wasn't until Mingyueshang approached that she took a few steps forward to shake hands with Mingyuesheng, looked at the mecha guards who were standing behind Mingyuesheng, and asked with a smile: "Why did you only see Miss Mingyue and the other members of the condolence group?" Is it because you dislike me that Liang Xing is barren and stingy to take a look? β
"Vice Speaker Zhou is serious, the head of state has already set the rules before the condolence group comes, we are here to appease the people, not to disturb the governments of the planets, because Vice Speaker Zhou is here, and Mingyue is here, more on behalf of my own juniors to respect Zhou Lao." Ming Yueshang explained with a faint smile.
"Haha, this explanation is very reasonable, it all shows that the eldest lady of the Yue family is smart and generous, and she has the style of a father, and she is really extraordinary when she sees it today, no wonder the head of Ming Donglai can give you this important task as soon as you graduate." Zhou Dunhou laughed loudly.
But the next moment, it was Xiang Yu's mecha that looked at Mingyuesheng's side, "This one in the mecha is Miss Mingyue's guard captain!" According to federal regulations, do you have to meet with me! β
The cuirass opened, revealing Tang Lang, who had already opened the mask of the tactical helmet in the cockpit, his fingers were on the control keyboard, Tang Lang grinned and greeted with a smile: "Hello Vice Speaker Zhou, please forgive Tang Lang for having military affairs and not being able to get off the mecha and you have already greeted you." β
Zhou Dunhou nodded: "It turns out that you are Tang Lang, the winner of the Victory Medal, the new major general of the Federation, and indeed a young hero." β
"Vice Speaker Zhou praised it." Tang Lang nodded, reaching out to put away the armor.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Zhou Dunhou's eyes suddenly sharpened like a knife: "Major General Tang, please wait a moment." β
With his voice, countless mecha poured out of the airport, surrounding the mecha battalion located in the center of the field from all sides, and there was also a roar in the sky, at least more than 100 rotor secrets appeared from afar, and the energy cannon hoisted under the fuselage flashed in the sun.
"Vice Speaker Zhou, what do you mean by this?" Ming Yueshang's face suddenly turned cold.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Dunhou had a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and stretched back, a staff member who carried him put an electronic encryptor in his hand, and Zhou Dunhou handed it to Ming Yuesheng. "Miss Mingyue, you can check it, this is an investigation order issued by the Supreme People's Assembly to the Federal Secrecy Bureau, I think, with your level, you can determine whether it is true or false."
"Miss Mingyue, I'm sorry, I'm here from the Capital Star, but in fact, the real purpose is not to welcome you, but to wait for Major General Tang Lang." Zhou Dunhou talked eloquently. "Someone reported that there is a problem with the origin of our federal hero, it is very likely that he is a spy carefully cultivated by the Great Eagle Empire, everything on the Rafi Star is just a scene jointly performed by the Jeppen and the Great Eagle Man, and unfortunately, they acted very realistically, and even deceived some high-ranking officials of my Southwest Federation, so that he stole the highest honor of my Southwest Federation, and was even promoted to a key military position such as a major general of the Federation in violation of regulations."
"Of course, all this I said is just a report and the thoughts of some members of the People's Assembly, and everything is still inconclusive, so I personally came to Da Liangxing to meet with Major General Tang Lang and ask him to be investigated." Zhou Dunhou continued. "Otherwise, it's not me, the old man, who is waiting here, but the secret police of the Secret Service."
"The investigation of a federal major general and a recipient of the Order of Victory requires the FΓΌhrer's signature permission, I would like to know, have you been authorized?" Ming Yueshang replied coldly.
"In normal times, this procedure must be followed, but unfortunately, after verification by the Secrecy Bureau, Major General Tang Lang is both a student of Major General Changsun and a classmate of Miss Mingyue, and his personal relationship is very close, according to federal regulations, the head of state must recuse himself, so only the authorization of the Supreme People's Assembly is required." Zhou Dunhou replied with a smile.
"Then I, do I have to be investigated?" Ming Yueshang's face remained unchanged.
"No, Miss Mingyue, you don't need to be investigated, but during this period, in case there are any thoughts under Major General Tang Lang, so your safety will be temporarily taken over by the Daliang Star garrison." Zhou Dunhou said righteously.
As he spoke, at least more than two mecha battalions surrounded this side, blocking the direction of the assault of the mecha battalion led by Tang Lang, not to mention, the electromagnetic barriers that opened around them cut off their distress messages to the Immortal Bird in space.
"Ladies and gentlemen! According to the order of the People's Assembly, Major General Tang Lang needs to be investigated by the Federal Secrecy Bureau, and the safety of Lieutenant Ming Yueshang is temporarily taken over by our Daliangxing garrison, and you need to temporarily disarm, rest and wait in the designated position, and then give you the next step of the notice when all the investigation is over! "A mech is coming out of the crowd, and an electronic megaphone is sounding a warning." In this process, please cooperate with our people! Otherwise, if there are some situations that you don't want to see the gun go off, I'm sorry! β
The words are high-sounding, this is Chiguoguo's forcible disarming and seizure!
The escort mecha led by the fat man and Anji, although they had expected it, were also angry at each other's behavior, but in the reaction of the metal detectors, in addition to the two mecha battalions that appeared in front of them, there was even a mecha division in the distance.
Among the optical detectors, some even appear at the commanding heights, and the spears in the hands of the mecha are clearly extremely powerful sniper models, if the mecha battalion wants to resist, the ambush here will make them suffer heavy losses!
However, the mecha battalion was not afraid, and immediately launched a battle formation, glancing at the mecha on the opposite side. In the words of the fat man, a mecha master is a fart, Lao Tzu was not alone in the face of dozens of mechas, and he had the ability to come to ten mecha masters.
Those who can follow down are the elite of the elite of the independent fleet, and naturally they will not be afraid of this kind of battle, the engine is charged, the energy shield is raised, as long as Tang Lang in the distance makes a move, the whole battalion will pounce on the opponent who stays hundreds of meters away.
Looking at the unruly mecha troops in front of them, the mecha troops dispatched by Daliang Xing were also quite nervous, but they were notified that the siege was the mecha guards guarding the daughter of the head of the Federation, and they knew how powerful these people were with the back seat, and the facts in front of them also told them, don't look at the number of mechas, but they are not worthy of them at all.
However, they have been authorized by the Supreme People's Assembly, and as long as the opponent dares to resist, then they are the rebels of the Federation, and they are the side that lacks justice, which may be the biggest insistence of this mecha force.
It's just that in the face of their own compatriots, the feeling of being about to meet each other is obviously not too wonderful for both sides.
Tang Lang Xiang Yu's mecha's breastplate was not closed, and the dark face under the tactical mask looked at Zhou Dunhou like this, and Zhou Dunhou, who held righteousness in his hand, seemed to be not afraid at all to raise his hand to smash himself into a meatloaf, his face was still peaceful, and he was not afraid to look at Tang Lang's sharp eyes.
Then, just when the armed mechs of the Great Liang Star garrison were in full array. The group of mecha battalions under Tang Lang's command, which were already ready for battle, suddenly put away the missile launchers on their shoulders, and the knives and guns that had been taken out were inserted into their backs one after another.
Tang Lang's faint voice sounded: "I am willing to accept the investigation!" β
"Good, good! Major General Tang Lang is so knowledgeable, I will truthfully write this into the investigation report, and I also believe that Major General Tang Lang is innocent. Zhou Dunhou had a smile on his face.
Looking at Tang Lang who jumped out of the cockpit of the mecha, he greeted him with a solemn hand: "Please!" β
Everything was extremely in line with federal regulations, but Ming Yuesheng, who had a cold face, clearly felt a hint of pride in the eyes of this originally dignified and strict old man at the moment he turned around.
Tang Lang's intuition is not wrong! Ming Yueshang felt a deep trembling. If this is just a conspiracy of power, it is not enough to make Ming Yueshang, who was born in a political family, afraid, but what if it is linked to a mercenary group? If the old man in front of him, who has been deeply rooted in the political arena of the Federation for decades, is the source of the disaster of the Heavenly Power System, how much damage will it cause to the Federation?
Ming Yueshang didn't dare to imagine.
