The time is fixed at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night on May 12, 116 in the new calendar, in a deserted outskirts of the Imperial City X.

Seven black sedans were driving at high speed on the wilderness road, two in front, two in the back, and two on each side, guarding a black sedan in the middle - the smooth sound of the military high-power engine, the body was completely made of high-performance alloys, and the spiral bulletproof pattern could be faintly seen on the windshield, without license plates, and without special military signs...... This makes one wonder how such a convoy could have come out of the heavily guarded gates.

An hour later, the convoy approached a nondescript earthy building on the outskirts of the city. Four soldiers in camouflage uniforms stepped forward and motioned for the occupants of the car to stop for inspection. The door of a car in front of him opened, and a young man in a black suit got out of the car and handed over a crimson sign. The soldier checked for a long time and said in a deep voice, "I need to ask my superiors for instructions." ”

The man raised his eyebrows, his expression was faintly angry, and he lowered his voice and said, "There is Admiral Jin's signature on this, who else do you need to ask for instructions?" ”

The soldier continued with an expressionless face: "Major, the superior has just issued an order, except for the head of state himself, all others entering the military forbidden land need the joint signature of General Jin and Chief of Staff Zhang, otherwise they will not be allowed to go." ”

"You ......"

"Li Yang."

A deep voice suddenly sounded in the car behind him. The black sedan slowly drove forward, and the driver rolled down the window, revealing a slightly tired old face inside. The soldier was taken aback, stood upright, gave a military salute, and said, "General! ”

Admiral Jin nodded faintly: "Now we can go in, right?" ”

The soldier hesitated a little and said, "Report to the general, Chief of Staff Zhang ordered that no cars are allowed in the military restricted area, and all are on foot." ”

Admiral Jin frowned slightly, patted his leg, and said, "I also need to walk?" ”

The soldier's face became more and more difficult to look at, his eyes turned around Admiral Jin's injured leg through the car window, and finally said in a wooden voice: "I'm sorry, General, the superior instructed that no one is allowed to drive, all on foot!" ”

Li Yang's face changed, and he was immediately furious.

Admiral Jin waved his hand slightly, turned his head to Li Yang and said: "Li Yang, you go in by yourself, take my documents, and you must bring out the 005 intact, we can no longer bear the loss like the 003, they are all the wealth of the empire." ”

Li Yang was suddenly moved, facing the tired and gray-haired old man, he gave a military salute with reverence, and said firmly: "General rest assured, resolutely complete the task!" ”

However, at this moment, a huge explosion was heard, and a pitch-black mushroom cloud rose in the dark night in the blinding firelight. Li Yang's eyes widened, blue tendons burst out on his forehead, and he turned around and ran towards the military restricted area without saying a word.

On this night, the citizens of City X were still sleeping quietly, but in the Fourth Military Prison outside the city, there was a huge explosion that shook the world. In the darkness, the eyes of all countries were secretly condensed in one place, waiting for the dawn in a few hours.

Four hours ago.

In the trial hall of the Fourth Military Prison of the People's Republic of China, there were seven high-ranking officers in military uniforms, and the epaulettes were shining with the stars of generals, indicating that these people were all of the rank of generals. On the bench were five military judges, each from a major military region and not affiliated with the same military system. Below are more than 20 national first-class special forces armed with Colt MOD733 5.56mm assault rifles, looking vigilant, as if facing a great enemy.

The atmosphere in the entire courtroom was solemn, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the defendant's seat. The presiding judge, who was dressed in military uniform, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Name? ”

"Chu Qiao."

A light and calm voice replied in a low voice, although the timbre was a little hoarse, but the gender of the person could be judged by listening to it.

Sure enough, I saw a delicate woman wearing light green military pants, a white shirt on the upper body, and the cuffs rolled up, revealing half of her white forearms, sitting in the defendant's seat, her expression calm, and she couldn't see the slightest nervousness.

The presiding judge continued the boring process: "Gender? ”

"Female."

"Date of birth?"

"October 8, 90th year of the new calendar."

"Origin?"

"Luo City, Yuntu Prefecture."

"Military resume?"

"In the 109th year of the new calendar, he was admitted to the Imperial Capital Military School. In 111, he was transferred to the Fifth Intelligence Department of the Imperial Capital Military Command Post to study, and in the second half of the same year, he entered the Seventh Unit of the Flying Eagle Group for training. On August 27, 112, he officially joined the Fifth Intelligence Service and was assigned to the Second Group to engage in intelligence analysis and deployment. In December 113, he was transferred to the Intelligence Bureau of City Y and worked with MI9 to carry out Project HL. In June of the following year, he left the country and lurked. In January 114, he returned to China and joined the eleventh command post as deputy commander until now. ”

"What actions did you perform during your tenure?"

"A total of 97 large and small affairs were carried out in 11 places, and a total of 29 were handled by me, including 11 one-star affairs, 9 two-star affairs, five three-star affairs, four four-star affairs, and no five-star affairs."

"Please report the four-star mission you have performed."

"In August 114 of the new calendar, MI7 provided intelligence, MI9 intervened, and I and Colonel Li of the 9th Department jointly planned the 'Haiyan Project', and successfully obtained three tons of uranium ore. In November of the same year, the 11th and 6th overseas departments cooperated to carry out the entrapment strategy, captured the traitorous general known as Mika and the half-rat, and blew up the nuclear reactor of country F. In April 115, the plan turned against the aliens of country E and regained the central bank's leaky password. In June of the same year, with the help of Country X, the Seamus Operation, which was planned by 11 Divisions, assisted by Strangers, and Agents 003 of 9 Divisions, took shape, and successfully obtained the production drawings of HK-47. ”

The presiding judge pushed his glasses and said in a deep voice while comparing the documents: "Please elaborate on the relationship between you and MI9's agent 〇3." ”

Hearing this, the woman raised her eyebrows slightly, her face was a little cold for a long time, her eyes swept over the seven jury officers one by one, and finally said in a deep voice: "During the training of the Seventh Unit, I lived in the same dormitory with Agent 003, Agent 007, and Major Huang Minrui, the staff officer of the 11th Division. In 115, Operation Seamo was carried out in cooperation with 003. ”

The presiding judge said in a deep voice: "How is your relationship? Is it a comrade-in-arms, a colleague, or a nodding acquaintance? ”

The woman's face was calm, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and after a long time, she said in a deep voice: "We are friends." ”

There was a slight uproar from the jury, and the woman looked over to two of them, her eyes catching a sharp glimpse of the smile that had not yet had time to dissipate from their lips.

"In other words, you have a close relationship with 〇〇3 and are bosom friends who talk about everything, right?" A female judge of about forty years old in a dark green military uniform asked in a deep voice.

Chu Qiao turned his head, his eyes turned around the female judge's seemingly amiable face, and finally said in a deep voice: "Judge, I and 〇3 are both high-quality soldiers who have received special training from the state, and we know very well what can and cannot be said, so for the four words in your interrogation speech, I think it is a contempt for our professional quality and the greatest disrespect for the martyrs who have died heroically for the interests of the country." ”

The female judge's face turned pale, pursed her lips, and stopped speaking, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

The presiding judge continued: "Chu Qiao, now, please make a brief statement and defense of Operation M1N1. ”

At this point, the key points and key points were finally asked, and the two presiding jurors in their fifties looked very focused when they heard that their bodies were slightly probed.

Chu Qiao lowered his head, raised his neck for a long time, and said in a deep voice, word by word: "I ask to see my superiors, or to accept a public trial by the Supreme Military Court, and before that, I will not make any statements about the M1N1 operation." ”

The presiding judge frowned when he heard this, and there was obviously a trace of anger in his voice, and he said slowly: "Are you questioning the authority of the military tribunal jointly dispatched by the Five Military Regions and formed by the highest legal experts?" ”

"I'm not." Chu Qiao tilted his head and repeated, "I just asked to see my superiors, and I beg my forgiveness for not revealing the information and content of the M1N1 operation until Admiral Jin has not personally signed the declassified documents." ”

The presiding judge frowned, and continued: "Then, please give your own defense and explanation of the incident in which you ordered the demolition of the General Affairs Building, resulting in the death of twenty-three hostages from various countries. ”

"They're not hostages." Chu Qiao raised his head and said in a deep voice, "The orders I gave are absolutely in line with the regulations of the military department, and I have not killed a single person in vain, as long as I see the signed documents of my superiors and Admiral Jin, I will make the most complete statement to the military court." Until then, I will not be judged. ”

The trial was thus at an impasse. After taking Chu Qiao down, all the judges and generals exited the hall, and the strict surveillance device captured all their images. However, under the corner bench where the senior general of the military department had just been seated, a small device flashed red, and the numbers on the screen were jumping silently.

Time is running out.

Chu Qiao sat on the iron bed, lowered his head, and sat silently. The cell where she was in was made of special tempered glass on all sides, and the outside could fully see the situation inside, but the people inside could not see the slightest movement outside, and there was no privacy at all. And the hardness of these glasses, even if you hold a large-caliber submachine gun for a day of continuous shooting, you can only open a small bullet port, and if you want to break the glass to escape, you may need the help of an atomic bomb.

Even if she can't see or hear it, as the senior commander of the country's most secret intelligence service, she clearly knows the full layout outside. Feeling her pulse with her hand and silently calculating the time, she knew that it was time to eat.

Sure enough, there was a crisp click, and a corner door opened under the glass, and a tray was slowly put in with one hand.

Chu Qiao sat on the bed, lowered his head, and seemed to be motionless, but a small stone suddenly flew out, hitting the buckle on the wrist of the soldier delivering the meal accurately and silently, only to hear a hula sound, and the watch fell into the prison cell.

The soldier outside the door was startled, stretched out his arm and touched it twice, but he couldn't reach it. When Chu Qiao heard the sound, he turned his head as if unintentionally, frowning suspiciously. She knew that in addition to this person, there was a person standing outside, who was closely watching her. According to common sense, prisoners are not allowed to approach the prison door during the delivery of food, but at this moment, Chu Qiao stretched out his hand and drew a picture towards him. The soldier outside the door saw it clearly, stretched out his hand twice, but still did not reach the watch, so he stretched out his fist and slammed it on the ground twice in agreement.

Chu Qiao jumped off the iron bed, picked up the watch on the ground, handed it to the soldier, smiled lightly at the tempered glass that could not be seen outside, picked up the meal, and returned to the bed.

Outside, it soon quieted down.

Everything is so natural, there is no abnormality.

After Chu Qiao finished eating, he walked to the simple bathroom and opened the door.

The government is humane, and the bathrooms are private, made of opaque plastic all but above the shoulders. Chu Qiao sat on the toilet, her head lowered slightly, she knew that there were people watching her outside, and she must not go to the toilet for more than twenty minutes.

In the bathroom that others couldn't see, Chu Qiao gently stretched out his white palm, and at the fingertips that had just touched the soldier's finger, there was a transparent film with the fingerprints that the other party had accidentally extracted from her. Chu Qiao knew that time was running out, and it was time for her to act.
