Chapter 8: Murder
Military suspension wheels two-wheel drive off-road flying vehicles drive silently on the empty road.
Looking from the window, the bustling capital, which was originally bustling with traffic, has shown a trace of fatigue due to the continuation of the war.
There are very few pedestrians on the streets, and there are far fewer civilian flying cars on the roads. In the distance, dense high-rise buildings and several towering space cities stand quietly, and the bleak appearance is no longer the colorful prosperity of a few years ago.
The flying car turned into a high-speed passage closed by the military police, and floated smoothly along the metal magnetic field line, and in a short time, it was already at the base of the 1st Armored Division of the Federal Army.
The 1st Panzer Division is the only five-star special main battle division in the current Federation. Her predecessor was the 3rd Division of the Rebel Army during the Lere War of Independence, and her outstanding military achievements were unparalleled in Lere.
It was this armored division, at the most critical moment, that seized the fleeting opportunity of the war, forcibly broke through in the chaos, and took the lead in storming the palace of the Nademik dynasty, announcing the end of the dynasty. The independence of the Legay Confederation was also proclaimed.
The flying car moved silently in the base, and new mechs appeared in front of the fat man's eyes.
With tears in his eyes, the fat man already looked like a curious baby, and he looked around and focused on the new mecha on the training ground. Several officers shook their heads.
After passing several cordons in succession, the flying car finally drove into a well-guarded flower circle and stopped. The small building in Huayuan is the location of the Supreme Command of the Great Patriotic War.
The fat man turned his head to look, only to see that outside the small building, General Mihajlovich and General Russell. Admiral Bernadotte and Federal President Hamilton all stood in front of the small building, smiling at the stopped flying car.
"It doesn't look like you're going to punish me." The fat man was stunned for a moment, and the moment he pushed the car door, the tears on his face were gone. You don't even have to wipe it. The officer sitting next to him was stunned.
Seeing the fat man push the door and get out of the car, he stood hesitantly by the door, and Russell, who had always been unsmug-witted, walked up quickly, walking faster and faster. Just when the fat man was trembling with fright, Russell gave him a hug with Kentai etiquette.
"Thank you!" Russell's voice was full of gratitude. For a soldier who has devoted his life to national liberation, there is no other word to express his feelings.
With Russell's words, the fat man's heart was suddenly stable.
When Hamilton and the others came up to meet them, they saw it. is a steady soldier. Legs side by side, salute. The demeanor of a professional soldier is meticulous.
"Tian Xingjian, a soldier of the Lelei Federation, was ordered to come and report!" The fat man's face was tired and resolute.
Bernadotte and Mihajlovic smiled at each other after the salute. What kind of virtue this bastard fat man is, no one knows better than them. The deputy commander touched his face unconsciously, and remembered vividly what happened when he was spat on by this fat man in a bar in Gariparan more than a year ago.
Hamilton held the fat man's hand tightly and said aloud: "Welcome back, General Tian!" ”
Fat people are neither humble nor arrogant. With a slight smile, "Thank you!" ”
"You've done a great job for the Leray Federation!" Hamilton smiled and said, "That emperor of Gachalin, without you, we can't invite us." What do you think. Suffered a lot in Gachalin, right? ”
The fat man's face was light and unfazed: "For my motherland, I am willing to give everything I have!" This is the fate of a professional soldier! Tian Xingjian will never give up! ”
The excitement and excitement of the officers of the command who had picked up the fat man here earlier had disappeared, and their heads were sweating profusely. I really wanted to rush up and press this fat man who was still crying in the flying car to the ground and beat him up. Phew, shameless! Impostor, this damn fat man must be a "brand!"
"Let's go!" Mikhailovich on the side smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”
The group walked towards the small building, and in the middle of the crowd, the fat man calmly climbed the steps, his figure straight and straight. More *** like a chief than a few generals on the side.
After taking a seat in Mikhailovich's office, he asked the fat man about the situation in the Gacha woodland, Hamilton smiled slightly, and changed the conversation: "General Tian, we have already learned about your affairs in Gachalin, and the accusations made against you by Lieutenant General Fisichella of the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force are true, and this has also been confirmed by the General Headquarters of the Allied Forces......"
The fat man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and when he looked around, he saw that several generals had already restrained their smiles, drinking tea without squinting, and his heart was panicked, and the resolute expression of a professional soldier could no longer hold back, and he looked at Hamilton pitifully, waiting for him to continue.
Hamilton took a sip of tea, looked up at the fat man's face, and with a pop, squirted out all the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, and coughed repeatedly.
The fat man winked innocently.
Hamilton really wanted to slap the fat face in front of him. When several generals talked about this fat man before, he still didn't believe it. Just imagine, how could such an obscene fat man do so many blood-boiling and earth-shattering feats?
But now, this fat face was only one meter in front of him, and his innocent eyes showed a hint of flattering look at him. From a resolute iron-blooded soldier to an innocent poor fat man, this guy doesn't even need a trace of emotion to brew, and the expression of that face has changed to the point of perfection.
"But ......," Hamilton really thought was a smile on his face. After a pause, he continued: "There are some things in this, we can understand it ourselves." The revocation of your military rank is not the intention of the High Command. The Supreme Command will later make a clear determination of General Tian's exploits in Gacharin, but now it is time to aggrieved General Tian. ”
As he spoke, Hamilton looked back and saw a fat man sitting precariously nodding his head calmly. The expression is sincere.
Hamilton was startled, calmed down, smiled wryly at the funny-looking generals, and then said to the fat man, "Tell the truth. Before you captured James, the Confederation military and government were in great danger. To be able to finally win the war against Gacharin, General Tian, no one can erase your credit. ”
The fat man smiled and said continuously: "It should be." You're welcome. These are the things I should do. Not enough to worry about, hahahahaha. ”
"Ahem!" Russell coughed on the side, and the fat man immediately stopped talking.
Hamilton said with a smile: "So, the military department made the decision to promote you to major general of the Federation, and lead the two special armored regiments stranded in Gacharin. However, now that we have implemented the decision of the Allied General Command, we have to demote you by one level. As for the military position, I'm afraid I will have to wait until you come back from your studies to make arrangements. ”
"Studying?" The fat man was stunned.
"That's it, I'll have a meeting." Hamilton smiled and stood up. Stretched out his hand and shook the fat man with a blank face and said, "General Russell will talk to you in detail about specific matters." I won't disturb the reunion of your teachers and students. ”
"Come to my office and tell me." Russell stood up and said to the fat man, "There's a guy who's been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Oh." The fat man nodded. When he turned to say goodbye to Mikhailovich. I couldn't help but glance my eyes at Mikhailovich's face, frowning and thinking about it, but I couldn't remember where I spit it in the first place.
Seeing that Mikhailovich seemed to be glaring consciously, the fat man felt chills all over his body, and quickly lowered his eyebrows and nodded his head. Turning around, he followed Russell and Bernadotte out of the office briskly.
When he came to Russell's office, the fat man saw an old man smiling at him as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Boswell." The fat man was a little surprised, and he didn't know how the old stubborn, who had never left the Garipalan Military Academy, could wait for him here. But. To be able to see this old man who had given him great help for the first time, the fat man felt sincerely happy.
Boswell looked at the fat man's peace and security, and also felt relieved, took his hand and asked about his experience these days, listening to the fat man's twists and turns, he couldn't help but sigh.
After chatting for a while, Russell turned to the topic and said to the fat man, "Kin, Professor Boswell has something to tell you. It has a very important relationship with you, with the Federation, and even with each and every one of us. ”
The fat man only heard it in shock, and forced a smile: "Hehe, it's not that serious, teacher, don't play with me if I'm timid." He looked at Russell suspiciously, "Aren't you going to send me on some dangerous mission again?" Let me start by stating that I will not do it. It's not good to take the future of all mankind on me! ”
"Tian Tianyu, Wang Jiaying, are your deceased parents." Boswell's voice came, the fat man was stunned, turned his head suddenly, looked at Boswell and exclaimed, "Yes! What's wrong? ”
******
"Do you know the Illuminati?" Boswell's face was solemn.
"Yes." The fat man was well-informed about this knowledge, and replied, "This is a space exploration organization established during the Earth Federation. The main program is to open up the interstellar territory of human beings, explore unknown regions, belong to the civil nature, in the prosperous period, once had hundreds of thousands of members in human society, and made great contributions to the great exploration of the human space age. But what does this have to do with my parents? ”
Boswell nodded, "You were only six years old when your parents died in a shipwreck. But if I tell you now that your parents are members of this Discovery, would you believe it? ”
Thinking back to his childhood, the fat man nodded slowly and said, "When I was a child, my parents often traveled for a long time, and if they were going to explore, I don't doubt it. ”
Boswell was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect to find out that your parents were also involved when I came into contact with the edge of this mystery. ”
"Mystery?" The fat man hurriedly said: "What mystery? ”
Boswell, Russell, and Bernadotte glanced at each other, and said slowly: "Although it is just speculation, I think it is necessary for you to understand the ins and outs of the matter. The old man stood up and paced back and forth a few steps: "The Illuminati, this ancient organization was born in the era of the Earth Federation, which was a great earth era, due to the discovery of interstellar jumping points and the gradual maturity of jumping technology, human beings have stepped towards a deeper universe. ”
"Of all the non-governmental exploration organizations, the name means to find a bright future, the Illuminati is the largest and most powerful organization, and countless scientists, explorers, astronauts, and even people from all walks of life have joined this organization, as well as many large energy companies, which are also members of this organization. At one point, even the official exploration of the Earth Federation was not as vast as the Illuminati. People can find like-minded people to join the adventure in this organization, and they can also find sponsorship, find solutions to difficult problems, and find all the resources they need to explore the universe. ”
"After the invention of the Pierce signal, the Earth Federation could no longer stop private adventurers from exploring the wider star field. And the selfless sharing sect of the Illuminati has also brought great benefits to the Earth Federation. One after another immigrant planets and energy planets were discovered, and these planets, eventually developed by the Earth Federation one by one, became an interstellar territory for the infinite expansion of human beings. ”
"In essence, the Illuminati is a purely scientific organization. The contribution of this organization to humanity has not been surpassed by any similar organization to this day. However, with the disintegration of the Earth Federation, the process of human exploration of the universe has gradually slowed down. Numerous wars between human beings have delayed or even terminated active space exploration. ”
"In the last thousand years, humanity has not discovered new frontiers. Whether it is an official organization or a civil organization, the exploration of the stars is in vain. It was as if we were locked in a big cage. In this cage, humanity is increasingly focused on strife, politics, economics, territory, resources. Friction between major powers is becoming more frequent. ”
"In such a situation, this war seems inevitable. For the two superpowers, in particular, if they do not advance against the current, they will retreat, and although the current resources can allow their citizens to live and work in peace and contentment for thousands of years, they are far from sufficient for the huge defense expenditure. ”
"Thirty years ago...... Dr. Will looked at the fat man solemnly and said, "The war that made the Republic of Feiyang become the largest superpower has made the Illuminati discover the fact that within a hundred years, there will be a war that will sweep the entire human society." This war, if it is controlled in a situation of political interests, may not be anything. However, with modern technology, once the two sides kill the red eyes and take the planet as the target of destruction, then the battlefield war will become the end of mankind! ”
At that time, a scientist named Corina proposed a hypothesis that if the interstellar jump point is a bridge between folded space and space, then when the length or direction of the bridge changes, the destination will change accordingly. And once humans can freely control this bridge, then we can jump out of the cage that we are in. ”
This hypothesis caught the attention of the Illuminati, and after further research, some of their scholars concluded that the spatial jump point was actually a tunnel with countless exits. It is the current state of inertia in interstellar hopping that the spacecraft must be at the third cosmic velocity that restricts human access at fixed ends. In fact, just by changing the speed of the ship, you can find other exits to this passage. ”
"It can't be!" The fat man shouted, "According to interstellar hopping, if you want to maintain the stability of the ship in the jump point, you can only press 16 per second. The third cosmic speed of 7 kilometers enters the channel, and the variable speed range is 15 percent above and below, and if it exceeds or does not exist, it will cause the spacecraft to crash. For thousands of years, no ship has ever come out alive after entering a jump tunnel at an unusual speed! ”
"No!" Boswell said solemnly: "In fact, someone once entered the passage at an unusual speed and returned safely!" Your parents are one of them! ”
"What?!" The fat man jumped.
Boswell stared at the fat man and said, "However, this feat, along with all the information, was wiped out on their way back. All died in shipwrecks. We suspect that this is a murder! He said word by word: "One, unknown murderer, unknown purpose, the most mysterious murder in human history!" Forty crew members, scientists, explorers, mechanics died. And that's your parents, too! ”
"It can't be!" The fat man trembled and shouted, "This can't be! No one would do that! This is against humanity as a whole! ”
