Chapter 48: Sniper (I)
"He's going to show off, he's here to steal the limelight." Behind a window in the parliament building facing the square, Dong Kang, secretary general of the parliamentary secretariat, stared at the righteous and righteous Yuxuan and his wife who walked into the square, and said with disgust and resentment in his tone. As opponents of contradictions of political interests, the contradictions between them cannot be reconciled until there are no class contradictions or contradictions of positions of political factions.
In the city-state of Donghu, Zhu Tong and Du Pong are a pair of political opponents with clear contradictions, and the root of the contradiction is the struggle for power. Zhu Tong, as the speaker whose term is about to expire, has deeply experienced the respectable status and endless benefits that power brings to him in the past days, which cannot be experienced by people who are not in his position, and it is because of these that he is obsessed with the power in his hands and is afraid of losing it. In recent months, however, he has been discouraged by his mistakes in dealing with the city-state's emergency affairs, but his opponents have slapped him in the face repeatedly, causing him to lose face and lose his prestige, and he feels that the scales are now tilting in favor of his opponents, which makes him anxious and uncomfortable, thinking about how to take effective measures to turn back the situation, boost the confidence of his supporters, and continue to win in the upcoming election, and hold the supreme power of the city-state.
Just a few weeks ago, he missed the opportunity to overthrow Nan Ze, the commander of the internal guard army who was called the three giants of the city-state and ranked second, and under the full maintenance of Sergei, the chief senator of the Intercontinental Senate, Gang Daoming, took a step back and did not hold Nan Ze accountable for the unauthorized transfer of the city-state's internal security forces, and finally highly affirmed the correct behavior of the supreme administrator and the supreme military governor of the Donghu city-state in unifying their thinking, cooperating sincerely, and quelling the rebellion in the report of the weekly meeting. In the end of the incident, Nanze was not only innocent, but became the hero who led the suppression of the rebellion. This is only a consensus reached at the top level, in fact, within the city-state of Donghu, almost everyone at the entire political level knows that it is Du Pong who is leading the counterinsurgency (in fact, the commander behind it is Guan Li), it is Du Pong who is determined to send the city-state police force to quell the rebellion, and finally Nan Ze takes the initiative to fight the rebellion because of his personal feelings, and mobilizes the internal security forces to quell the rebellion without the permission of the city-state council. Therefore, whether it is at the top of the political level of the republic or at the political level of the city-state, Zhu Tong has lost face and his prestige has plummeted.
Hearing the head-to-ear discussions in the square and the fiery passion shining in his eyes, Zhu Tong, who was standing behind Dongkang, was furious and gritted his teeth, he took a few puffs of the briar pipe in his hand, and glared at the couple in the square viciously, but he looked helpless. Originally, a good deck of cards in his hand was stabbed in He-Man, and he lost again and again, and was beaten into a bad deck by himself, for which Gang Daoming scolded him for scolding the dog's blood, hating it, and helping to clean up the mess, frustrated, how to beat his two political opponents, has become the most urgent thing for him to do at present.
"Speaker, we should also go down, we can't let him take the limelight, relying on the arrangements I have made, it will only be more magnificent than theirs, in front of the people of Donghu, I want everyone to know who is the master of Donghu."
For Zhu Tong's thoughts, Dongkang is absolutely clear, so he has a very good grasp of how to cater to his wishes. In fact, he also had a stomach of lawsuits in his heart, and wanted to take refuge in Zhu Tong, the most stable flagship, to become his most intimate and trusted subordinate, and to occupy the most prominent position of the secretary general of the parliament, so he thought that his career would be smooth sailing, and there were no ups and downs, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, his owner would lose a good situation, and he was defeated one after another, even if it was the upcoming city-state election, it was now unpredictable, and he made himself like a fire captain, going door-to-door to greet him everywhere to stabilize his own military morale. Wooing and luring the centrists, he promised to vote for Zhu Tong and guarantee the victory of the general election. In fact, the pain in his heart is not enough to be shared with outsiders, since he was in power, he has never been so confused as at this moment, he has always put himself in a safe position, to ensure that he can obtain the greatest political benefits, steady promotion. But now the confidence that he used to have in his chest can't be found at once, which makes him feel uneasy, but his face is not at all colorful.
Zhu Tong nodded with a gloomy face, turned around and walked towards the door, Dongkang followed, and when he arrived in the corridor, he instructed the staff, the speaker to prepare to enter the venue, and prepare outside.
In fact, the preparations for relying on have already been done, and the personnel in the council hall are waiting for Zhu Tong to come down, and the instructions have been issued here, and the following has already begun, only to see a battalion of internal security troops dressed neatly, fully armed, and divided into two columns, this is the internal security force in charge of parliamentary security, directly under the jurisdiction of the speaker, with a total of three battalions of 900 people. The five gates of the council hall were opened at the same time, and the leading troops were stepping out, in unison, in unison, and with extraordinary momentum. Behind the leading troops of this battalion, Zhu Tong's face sank like water, and his appearance was majestic, as if he were natural. Behind him was a battalion of escort troops, like the stars holding the moon, and this battle was indeed much more than Dupont could rely on.
When the parliamentary security forces came out, the Dupon couple had already walked to the front of the execution platform, and the concierge was leading the couple to the rostrum, the concierge was in front, Dupong was in the center, and the Guan Li was behind, and Kankan walked to the stage. Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to the past, including the Duponts, they turned their heads to look to the right, which was facing the direction of the parliament building, and as their eyes turned, Guan Li suddenly felt her heart contract suddenly, and her mind thundered, because she had ghostly seen a certain window on the upper floor of the parliament building opposite, and there was a familiar tube in the open half facing the rostrum in her direction, Guan Li was just behind the half-open window, It was already determined that the familiar thing must be a long-range sniper photon gun, and just as his mind was turning, Guan Li was already sure that the muzzle of the gun must not be aimed at himself, but at his impostor husband, the supreme magistrate of the city-state of Donghu, and the candidate for the election, Du Peng.
She was about two meters away from Du Peng, when she was sure that the muzzle was aimed at Du Peng, her figure had moved, a little ground under her feet, and her body jumped up, although she was wearing a long tail dress, but her body was not slower than usual, her right hand was swung out with one palm, and a palm hit Du Peng's right back, Du Peng staggered, rushed forward two steps, poofed, and threw herself to the ground, at the same time, Guan saw from the corner of her eye that the muzzle of the gun upstairs in the distance, the beam flashed, she felt a slight pain in her chest, and then lost consciousness.
