Chapter 233: Kunlun

Kunlun, once the name of an extremely magnificent mountain range on the ancient blue star that gave birth to the human race, stretches for thousands of kilometers and the majestic mountains are dazzling.

But what really makes people yearn for it is because of the mystery given to it by the ancestors of the Chinese people, and the gods and spirits that appear in countless literary works in the long history are inseparable from Kunlun.

With the hope for the future, or the nostalgia for the birth of the race, the people of the Southwest Federation at the beginning of the establishment of the country named their capital administrative star Kunlun with a pass rate of more than 90%.

Kunlun also lives up to the expectations of the people of the Federation, thousands of years of wind and rain and the erosion of modern civilization have not made it ugly. With the lessons of the Blue Star, the human beings of the Southwest Federation attach great importance to the protection of the natural environment.

Modern manufacturing industry is not allowed to stay on the administrative star of the capital, except for the city where humans gather to see the shadow of civilization, most of the wild has maintained the original appearance of Kunlun when it was discovered, mountains, rivers and oceans, beautiful as before.

There is a river on Kunlun Star that is very famous and has a unique name, called Tianqing River. The name of the river comes from a poem of the ancient Chinese poet, "the sky is clear and the wind curls, the grass is clear and the water is even the pond", not to see the river, only to see its name and source, but also to get a glimpse of the tranquility and beauty of the Tianqing River.

Before the arrival of human beings, the Tianqing River had been flowing quietly for tens of thousands of years. The reason why this river is so famous is because the political center of the entire Southwest Federation was born with the river as the center--- Xinjing District.

Bounded by the Tianqing River, the entire administrative district is divided into two parts. On the right bank of the river is the People's Assembly Building, which represents the highest decision-making body of the Southwest Federation, as well as the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Security and Confidentiality Bureau, and other administrative departments that manage and decide the Southwest Federation, a medium-sized starry country spanning 100 light years, as well as the headquarters and offices of many commercial and manufacturing companies of the Federation stationed in the Capital Star. On the left bank of the river is the residential area and living area of the people and their families who work in the capital star administrative district.

Numerous underground and air passages connect the two shores.

On the left bank, near the banks of the Tianqing River, there is a very special area in a large green area of at least five square kilometers with few artificial structures.

Covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters, the square paved with diamond jade is extremely conspicuous.

In the center of the square, which was named People's Square by the leaders at the beginning of the founding of the Southwest Federation, stands a 49.49-meter-high monument to the people's heroes. Facing the side of the bustling and lively residential area facing the quietly flowing Tianqing River, the eight characters of the people's heroes are engraved and immortalized, and the stele composed of thousands of pieces of white jade on both sides and behind it is densely recorded the names and numbers of the individuals and troops who have fought bravely and sacrificed in the battles of pioneering and defending the Southwest Federation for thousands of years, as well as the brief description of their heroic deeds.

In Xingyuan 0018, 180 members and 108 crew members of the "Endeavour" starship and 300 officers and men of the 7th Marine Corps of the 1st Federal Fleet who went to the "Altai" star for scientific research were martyred and died due to the "Altai" 16-level storm.

In Xingyuan 0246, the 3rd laboratory of the Federal Academy of Sciences exploded due to the unstable input energy structure of the new energy engine, and 32 scientists, 98 scientific researchers and 64 guards were killed at the scene.

In Xingyuan 0587, due to a dispute over the ownership of the border, 2,289 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Marine Regiment of the 15th Marine Division stationed in the planetary federation fought to the death in the face of the sudden attack of the fleet composed of four starships and a marine division of the Jeppen Empire, and finally all died in battle.

In 1069, in the second war between the Southwest Federation and the Jeppen Empire, in the Battle of the Shaking Light System, the flagship of the 2nd Fleet of the 9th Fleet of the Federation "Qi Jiguang", when the hull suffered heavy damage, it did not withdraw from the battle, but continued to advance bravely, attracting most of the enemy's firepower to cover the counterattack of friendly ships, and finally it was completely destroyed, and all the officers and men of the ship, from Rear Admiral Chu Wu and below, 5206 people, all died.

Xingyuan 1142。。。。。。

Xingyuan 1887。。。。。。

On the commemorative plaque, the names of countless martyrs of the Southwest Federation and their unit numbers are recorded, and the entire history of the Southwest Federation is also recorded. The true record is that behind the flowers everywhere, there are many ancestors who have forged the blood.

In this world, there is no quiet time, but someone carries the weight for you.

However, the Federation has not forgotten them. They will be remembered forever, engraved under the sky of history.

Around the Monument to the People's Heroes are statues of people who have left a brilliant name in the thousand-year-old history of the South-Western Federation. There are not only big people, but also small people, from the head of state who has made extraordinary political achievements, the scientist who has done his best for the take-off of federal science, the general who returned the body of the horse leather shroud for the federal defense and security, the soldier whose bones are left in the starry sky and will never return home, and the worker, farmer, businessman, and student who has made amazing contributions to the cause of national rejuvenation。。。。。。

Covering all walks of life.

Since the construction of the People's Heroes Square, in the long river of time in 3945, after the decennial national network voting public election, a total of 395 statues stand on the square, they are the most brilliant people's heroes belonging to the Southwest Federation under the starry sky.

Compared with the pure and magnificent natural scenery on the Kunlun Star, this artificial square is naturally not so good-looking, except for the beautiful and quiet Tianqing River on the side of the square, but so far, it is the most popular place for tourism in the capital Star Kunlun.

As long as the people of the Federation who have been to the capital star will come to the square, look at the quiet Tianqing River from afar, and lay flowers in front of the memorial plaque of the people's heroes.

It is said that human beings need faith, and this may be the faith of the people of the Southwest Federation. The heroes who reside on the inscription have guarded this starry sky with their lives, and the people they have guarded have spent thousands of years or more to commemorate and cherish them.

It was originally a People's Heroes Square with an endless stream of people, but today it was surprisingly quiet.

A middle-aged man in a Mao suit stood in front of the majestic memorial plaque of the People's Heroes and stopped to look up.

In the large square, except for a limited number of people, there was no one else.

It's just that at the edge of the palm grove of those lawn gardens around the square, there are definitely a number of men in black standing at some tacit intervals. Even, in a more distant place, the mecha warriors of the two fully formed mecha companies had already sealed off this area tightly, and the pure black fuselage and the unique badge on the mecha chest showed that they were not affiliated with the federal military.

And above the sky, there are no flying machines. In addition to the rule that no air passage is allowed in the sky above the People's Heroes Square, it is obviously because of the effect of a special ban.

With such a scale of security, it shows a certain core position of this middle-aged man.

Although looking back at the empty square with only a few attendants remaining, it seemed extremely lonely, but the middle-aged man's face was not much helpless, more calm. He knew in his heart that this was a necessary arrangement, and that such an arrangement, the same scene, had probably existed for thousands of years at the same time from the moment the Confederation was established and the Führer was established.

The Southwest Confederacy did not dare and could not put its own chief executive in the public like this, especially after this violent conflict with the Jeppen Empire. The fact that the heads of state, emperors, and supreme administrators of the starry sky have been assassinated and assassinated for one reason or another, and more than 200 people have been martyred in the end, makes people dare not underestimate the despicability of human nature.

The man looked up at the tall monument to the people's heroes with great concern, and in this way, he was extremely quiet for a long time, until the footsteps of some people came from behind him, and the four people came behind him under the guidance of two men in suits.

And these four people, if they are placed in the so-called upper class and bureaucratic high-level of the Federation, are absolutely staggering existences. If you know that the next of the four is also the Secretary of Homeland Security of the federal government, you know the weight of these four people.

And the person who can make these four ministers or even above come to meet collectively is undoubtedly the first person in the Southwest Federation today, the head of the federation, Ming Donglai.

"Since the four of you are here, I want to come, it is the **** meeting that has made a decision on the award proposal of the Ministry of Military Affairs, so I'll listen to it." Ming Donglai, who turned around and stood upright, spoke a little slowly, but very calmly.

"The Führer, the 23 members of the **** council have voted by a show of hands, and with a approval rate of 80 percent, the proposal of the Ministry of Military Affairs for the honor and material rewards of the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line of the Federation." A middle-aged man with a round face and an obvious fat body said respectfully.

"Huh? This time, the eldest grandson has done a lot of work in private! He didn't get so much support without seeking my support, and I think many of his proposals are obviously lions' mouths! An unfathomable luster flashed in Ming Donglai's eyes, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his face. Come, Minister Wei, first of all, you are the rotating chairman of the state this year, and the chief minister of the eldest grandson is so open-mouthed, you actually voted in favor? Isn't it, privately collecting the benefits of Changsun Hong, taking people's hands short and eating people's soft mouths! ”

"Führer, don't bluff me. The eldest grandson is a famous iron rooster, only someone else gave him, so what did he give to others? If nothing else, have you ever eaten a meal from him? At most, he invited you to eat in the canteen of the Ministry of Military Affairs! That's it, I've heard that he has been secretly baring his teeth several times. The middle-aged man was obviously very familiar with this federal head who was not too strict in personality, and when he saw this federal first person joking with him, he also knew that he was in a good mood after hearing that the matter had been decided, and his tone was also very relaxed.

When the big people speak, they don't need to be careful about the words, for fear that if the word is wrong, it will attract people's jealousy. Even if he is the first person in the Federation today, he needs friends, or political friends, commonly known as allies. And the people who can get here obviously belong to this category.

"Haha, I see that the minister's words are true, the eldest grandson is indeed too picky."

"Last time, I went to his office and didn't even get a cup of tea!"

Therefore, seeing that Wei Zhijian, who was already extremely powerful Minister of Justice and the rotating chairman of the state department, joked, the other three people all laughed.

"It's true, the eldest grandson wrote too sensational about the sacrifice and heroism of my front-line officers and soldiers in the Federation, if I don't raise my hand to agree, I'm afraid that it won't take ten minutes for this matter to reach the ears of my old wife and my young son who was clamoring to be a soldier that day, then I won't see a good face when I go home, maybe I won't even have to eat.

As you know, my father-in-law, whom I have never met, died on the front lines of Jeppen 50 years ago. My old wife, but every time she thinks about it, she sheds tears on her clothes, like many years, and she has never forgotten it! Wei Zhijian finally replied with a wry smile.

Everyone knows that although this Minister of Health is in a high position, he is definitely the favorite among the many bigwigs of the Federation **** Association.

As the direct heir of the Wei family, he actually took a fancy to a female college classmate from an ordinary military family, and did not hesitate to break with the family, go out of the house alone, and work his own, until 30 years later, he has become a galaxy-level administrator, and he can barely reconcile with the family by visiting his critically ill father.

With his family's strength and his ability, he could have sat in that prominent position in 20 years. But for the sake of love, he delayed for 10 years, but he never seemed to regret it, he has always had a very good relationship with his wife, he is a high-ranking official outside, and he is a typical wife when he returns home.

Even though others have commented in a thousand ways, he is as willing as he is, and he is definitely a good man in this starry sky era where emotions are becoming more and more open.

If someone else said this almost child's playful reason, it might be regarded as rough prevarication or even classified as nonsense, but if he said it, it must be true. Because, his father-in-law is the army of the Federation, the Martyrs of the Federation, as a relative, he does not think that those glories are too much.

What could be more precious than life? But those young soldiers, abandoning their parents, forgetting their wives and children, buried themselves.

Those who have died have sunk into the abyss. But what about the living? His wife, though fifty years have passed, what a long time! is enough to corrode or cover up most of the things in this world, but it is difficult to erase the wounds and longing for her fatherless at a young age.

And the glory given to those soldiers who can never return is the only comfort that the Federation can give to the hearts of those who are still alive.

"Yes! In the past hundred years, for the sake of the peace of our Southwest Federation, how many brave soldiers have buried their bones on the border, and it is impossible to praise them. If you treat them slowly, it will chill the hearts of thousands of Federation troops! A hint of appreciation flashed in Ming Donglai's eyes and sighed.

Then, a cold light flashed under the lowered eyelids, and his tone was a little harsh: "However, there are always some people, at such a time, who have been looking at their own one-third of an acre of land, and ridiculously carry out some temptations and interest exchanges.

Although there are many things in this world, from money to power, and even friendship and love, what about the glory that is exchanged for life? That cannot and is not allowed to be tarnished by the word exchange. ”

"Yes, Führer, for historical reasons, we may be able to accept certain acts of some people lying in the glory of their ancestors, but we should never allow some moth-like behavior." Another ministerial-level tycoon had a little righteous indignation on his face: "Some people's minds don't seem to be just wanting more action, maybe ...... They will be even more greedy than we imagined, they are like a group of gray squirrels, quietly hollowing out the foundation of the Commonwealth, a thousand-year-old mansion. ”

The other three, including Wei Zhijian, did not speak, and the one who spoke was Xiong Chusheng, the Minister of Agriculture from a civilian background, and he couldn't see the so-called family the most, so today he naturally expressed his views again through the words of the Führer.

However, the framework of the superstructure, after thousands of years of development, has long been fixed, whether he wants it or not, it is still there and extremely difficult to change. Not to mention such a small country as the Southwest Federation, even in the larger Kyushu Federation, the same.

Without the Li family, there is also the Zhao family or the Liu family. Power is the deadliest poison in the world, and once contaminated, it is like a maggot on the tarsal bones, and no one can abandon it. And this is still in a republican federal state, where the desire for individual power has been exhausted by a framework that has been exhausted to restrain it. In those monarchies, the monarch and his little brothers and nobles are extremely greedy to lie on the people and suck blood, even if they are "fat" to the point of exploding, but greed is insatiable.

With indignant words, Ming Donglai just stretched out his hand lightly, like an absolutely magnificent light, suppressed his words, and said in a deep voice: "I have said countless times that there has never been absolute light in this world, there is no darkness, maybe the light will become darkness one day." Perhaps one day our descendants will solve this philosophical proposition, and what we need to do now is not to let those who contribute to the Federation fail them. ”

"And that, at least, the news you brought me today is not bad." Ming Donglai continued, his gaze reverted to the distance, and he asked seemingly intentionally or unintentionally: "Oh! By the way, do you remember the little guy who caused a confrontation between nearly 100 officers and soldiers at the Dawn Military Base and the intelligence officers of the Security Secret Service because of him? ”

The four of them looked at each other, hoping that for these big people, watching the report from dozens of light years away was just a simple understanding of the whole process of events, and for some of the little people, it was just a symbolic code. There is simply no need to enter their field of vision, or even be remembered.

On the contrary, Wei Zhijian, who had the highest authority among the people at the scene, except for Ming Donglai, hesitated after thinking about it carefully, "What did you say, Führer。。。。。 Tang Lang? ”

Hearing that Wei Zhi saw that the minister woke up a little, several bigwigs had an impression: "Is it the young man who fought head-on with Miyamoto on Rafi and finally became immortal?" ”

"Oh! The Security and Secrecy Bureau is holding on to the little guy whose origin is unknown! ”

"Hehe, the reason why it is said that the origin of the identity is unknown, the rumor that there is an unclear relationship with Commander Tang of the Southwest Military Region can be explained. Although Commander Tang's style of conduct is a bit too unbelievable, the official letter of the Southwest Military Region explains that it is extremely scary to think about it! ”

。。。。。。

In the capital star, the ladies of the upper class also get together, and most of them will discuss current affairs, or discuss the work of a talented poet from a poor background who has recently won a literary prize, or a good song, or an anecdote about a minor official, or a young man who has excelled in a certain family.

Some social hot news may have become the topic of drunken chatter in these upper classes. What's more, these big people who can talk about astronomy, geography, philosophy, economics and politics, and decision-making with a teacup and wine glass, invisibly control the political and economic context of the federation, and have a huge amount of information that ordinary people can't imagine.

They are not so sunny that they can only discuss current affairs and art, it is really a little too boring, and some things can also be used as conversation after lunch. For example, the gossip of a certain general.

And Tang someone, because of this gossip, instead passed on what he did on Lafite to the ears of the big guys, and became a pivotal existence in the entire process of events.

In other words, no matter whether Tang Lang is willing or not, he, an outsider who strayed into the starry sky, did not fight bloodily on the Rafi Star, nor did he have a relationship with the general's daughter, but because of the unwarranted and almost absurd rumor that he happened to have the same surname as the commander of the general, which entered the eyes of the bigwigs in the capital star, and became the existence of discussion among the top twenty people in the entire federal power center.

Ironic? No, it's true.

Of course, for a federal leader, the sudden mention of his name is naturally not because he wants to hear his gossip. There is no doubt about this, including several bigwigs who are knocking on the side to understand the intentions of their bosses.
