It was best for Patton to join the review panel despite his political disagreement with Congressman Fox. The operation was a blatant snatching of things from the base of the Hellfire Legion, a fighter plane from each side crashed in the conflict, and the wreckage of the fallen Freeman-11 was reported by the news media, and the public was very concerned about the situation caused by this, fearing that a new round of war would be triggered for no reason, although more wars in history were provoked by hellfire, but the public blamed the Hellfire Legion with a vicious image to no avail, and the alliance symbolizing justice and freedom could not turn a blind eye.

In Parliament, the members elected by the public vote represent different people's opinions, stand on different factions, and argue endlessly, and there is an unspoken rule in the debate, not allowing one opinion to dominate and tolerate different voices, which is regarded as the free and inclusive spirit of the Union Parliament.

Censorship is just a concrete form embodied in the spirit of this system, which can give the public an explanation and make quarrels come to a conclusion.

The review team did a very detailed job, sending people to inspect the wreckage of Freeman-11, retrieve the records of the black box, the weapons used, the resumes and historical health status of each combatant, investigate the process of issuing military operation orders, the purpose of the operation, and combined with the oral records of the parties, etc.

The review interviews have been conducted more than once, and probably this time will not be the last.

……

"Captain Kevin, we still have some questions to ask you", Lawyer Chris Wood still combed his meticulous blonde hair all year round with his professional habits, prepared the materials, and asked Kevin who was sitting opposite him at the conference table: "As far as we know, among the participants in the operation at the Veracruz base, the active soldier Ning Fei is a special operations team recruit, and according to the situation of normal recruits, he should still stay in the special operations training base for basic training, The combined combat capabilities and combat experience are very limited, and the danger of this mission is undeniable, so can you tell me why this recruit is on the list of mission performers? ”

"He's the best in the recruits, and he has special skills, we need him, and any experience is from scratch, and I'm sure you're not a lawyer in your last life," Kevin said, not surprised by similar problems.

"But the best man you are talking about is still lying in a hospital bed, in a coma, according to the hospital's diagnostic report, he suffered a fracture of his right arm, multiple contusions, local burns, and severe brain trauma during the mission", Chris looked at the report, picked out the general injury, and looked up and continued: "In this way, the public who follow this matter will question whether the alliance has caused the life of a recruit with no combat experience to endanger the life of the mission due to the imprudent personnel arrangement of the commander, This will tarnish the image of the Union army. ”

Kevin was ashamed, silent for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, I ...... about this matter."

"It was an accident, no one knew anything about what was on that ship, no one knew what that strange crystal was, and why it had a strange energy like Pandora's box", Caitlyn interrupted Kevin before he could continue.

"That space crystal is very important, we haven't gotten a formal study yet, but according to the news, that small stone could cause an uproar in the entire physics community, and I'm glad it's not Hellfire that is using it to make weapons," Barton quickly took the opportunity to explain the stakes.

"If we remain indifferent to the crisis, in a few days' time, all of you here will not be in the mood to talk about it anymore."

“......”

In the conference room, Councillor Fox frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Regarding the specific strategy and scientific value of the space crystal, we need a follow-up formal report to explain whether the military action was correct or not, whether the price paid was necessary, speculation and assumptions are meaningless, and", Congressman Fox turned his head to look at Patton, "Colonel, please also pay attention to your position, do not lead the direction of the problem." ”

Barton was silent, crossed his fingers and responded to Councillor Fox with a "I see" look.

"Please continue, Attorney Wood!"

Chris Wood continued his work, called up the information about Ning Fei from the computer, projected it onto the screen, got up from his seat and walked to the edge of the screen, and introduced: "It's still about this active duty soldier, everyone here can learn from the above information that he is a new soldier, who studied physics and computer science at Lucas College, and only joined the Union Army nearly 3 months ago, and his career experience in the middle is vacant. ”

When Barton heard this, he secretly said badly, Ning Fei's identity is relatively special, he was arrested for invading the base and was released from prison on bail by himself, which was originally just a trivial matter, but once he was dug up and made a fuss, he and Kevin may be accused of abuse of power, and the impact of this review will be out of control.

Lawyer Chris Wood glanced at everyone and said with a playful smile: "But things are always full of coincidences, and it is worth mentioning that I happened to meet this soldier three months ago, when he was detained in Toriyama Prison on suspicion of multiple illegal invasion cases, and was later released on bail by the military, and then joined the special operations team, and this series of things happened." ”

Lawyer Wood said and called up Ning Fei's previous case materials, and said: "So, for this, what is the reason for a suspect to become a special combat team member and get involved in this matter, can anyone tell me what kind of inside story there is?" Was there an abuse of power? ”

"He came in through the formal assessment process", said Feng Ying, who had a say in it, "beating the other five...... It was 4 candidates and the best performer".

"There was surveillance video during the test that no one released the water," Caitlin added.

In fact, Chris didn't have too many doubts about Ning Fei's personal ability, after all, the invasion case involved was simply impossible for ordinary people to do, but he still refused to give up and questioned: "So how can this soldier explain that he had previously hacked an important military base of the alliance and was suspected of stealing confidential information, but the military bailed him?" ”

At this point, Barton got up from his chair and first said to Councillor Fox, "I promise, not to guide the conversation." ”

Barton walked to the computer, logged on to the military intranet, opened a web page, and everyone saw an electronic version of the document on the projection screen, the first two pages of the document could only be seen, and the subsequent ones were encrypted. Barton pointed to the document and said: "Six months ago, Albert Labs led the signing of a framework cooperation plan agreement with the Alliance Forces involving the field of science and technology and security, this plan is called the 'Quantum Project', which currently has the highest level of secrecy, except for the personnel involved in the program, it is not open to the public, and others have no permission to access, and Ning Fei was released on bail by the military, which is related to this plan, for this, I am not convenient to say too much, but it can be verified." ”

When Councilor Fox heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "How is this soldier doing now, can you arrange a conversation?" ”

"It's out of the danger period, but it's still being treated, it's dormant, and the time is unpredictable," Barton confesses.

Fawkes sighed, "Well, I can't stay here forever, there's something else to deal with, and the review will have to wait for the soldier to wake up." ”

Fawkes then got up, shook hands with Colonel Barton and Captain Kevin, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, there will be a meeting later!" ”
