Chapter 62: Mystery
This news was quickly passed on among the top management of Feiyang.
A few days ago, there were people who appeared on the TV news, and they began to hide their heads. People who used to walk with the sound of the wind began to become cautious. At the banquet, the whispering crowd tried to keep their voices as low as possible, exchanging glances from time to time. In meetings of the government or the military, there is more silence and caution.
Government officials, army generals, business owners, and chaebol chairmen all pressed their demons and honestly observed the direction of the wind.
They know that no matter which side they are on, it is not a good idea to jump out at this time. The shipping route from Chackner to the Republic of Fiyan is not a zone of engagement. Therefore, Hastings chose an upright route, aboard the President Chackner spaceship, escorted by an entire class fleet, and headed for Fiyan.
Not to mention what kind of strength is needed to attack a class fleet, the mere fact that Hastings has exposed his itinerary to the public has already put an end to the dark thoughts of most people.
That's the god of war who has been in control of the country for thirty years. Throughout Fiyan, there are tens of millions of soldiers. are his supporters, admirers and followers.
It is conceivable that when the god of war was once questioned. On his return against the backdrop of Reske's victory. How many Feiyan patrol warships will be in the military districts along the way, automatically joining the convoy.
No one can manipulate such a situation. No matter how much he hated Hastings, he could only watch this king approach Heidfield step by step. All the quarrels and noise. It's all here, and it's gone without a trace.
The Punk district of Heidfeld has a primeval forest that is more than three kilometers long and wide. Although it is the end of winter, you can still see patches of snow scattered in the forest with rich black soil and dead leaves.
Heading west from Alclec Street, turn a path 500 meters from the south gate of Bizhongxue Park to reach a luxurious private clubhouse in the middle of the woods.
The clubhouse is not open to the public. Ordinary people who are 500 meters away from the clubhouse will be stopped by security personnel in black uniforms. In addition to these security personnel who are all over the intersection and in the forest, you can also see some policemen standing with the security personnel chatting and smoking from time to time, and even soldiers driving mechas.
The life of ordinary people is too far away from this clubhouse. It was not a distance of five hundred meters, but a moat of identity and wealth.
No one knew who was in and out of the clubhouse, and no one knew what was in the clubhouse. At most, people can only see luxury cars driving into the side roads from time to time on the streets.
Bulletproof window panes are always closed. It was a world they couldn't touch.
In the luxurious clubhouse suite, smoke fills the air. Dressed in handmade clothes cut by famous teachers, holding the most expensive wine and smoking the most mellow cigars, the dignitaries sat or stood in twos and threes, talking in low voices.
The dΓ©cor of the room is extremely luxurious. Handmade wool rugs, thick and soft. Large, comfortable, high-backed sofa with a leathery glow under a crystal chandeliers. The walls are encased in sound-absorbing and fire-resistant materials, so you won't be hurt even if you hit your head on it. Even the doors, window sills and mouldings of the rooms are made of the most expensive Knavel sandalwood.
Still, these things, for those present. I'm used to it. Including the antiques worth tens of millions on the Bogu shelf, it didn't let the people in the conversation take a second look.
Everyone's faces are not very good-looking, anxious. Worried, gloomy, they spoke quickly, and seemed a little excited, even a little angry.
When the door was pushed open and a series of crisp high-heeled shoes sounded outside the hallway, everyone in the room turned their eyes to the door.
Two young female officers of twins, dressed in officer Feiyang uniforms and looking exactly the same, appeared at the door. Immediately, Barbara, dressed in a white embroidered dress and a big coat, walked into the room.
When Barbara untied the big hat with the help of her twin sisters, revealing the long embroidered dress that wrapped her body tightly, the sound of swallowing saliva rang out in the room almost simultaneously. The men's eyes became hot.
Barbara's beauty is a bewitching beauty. There is no woman who can perfectly blend maturity and nobility with sensuality and charm like her.
Her skin is smooth and white, and her breasts and buttocks are round and soft. The body presents a soft shape that is visually unobtrusive. People can't help but want to touch, caress and her at a glance.
She can always evoke a man's most primitive **, with a smile and a smile.
When a man sees her for the first time, he will naturally think of a soft big bed, and think of her amorous appearance when she is recorded as a lamb, swinging her thin waist and plump buttocks.
She's a natural goblin!
After a moment of distraction, the men in the room looked away with difficulty. Although they are qualified to enter this room, they have wealth or power that ordinary people can hardly imagine, but in front of Barbara. They are nothing.
Of these, only a few can barely be counted as nominally equal collaborators, while most of the others are only members of the forces led by Barbara.
Not to mention their wealth and power, even their lives are in Barbara's hands. Only those who really know this woman will know what kind of punishment will be given for showing an expression that should not be shown in addition to the appropriate expression of admiration!
It is said that the presidential candidate, who had just been shot off half of his head by a sniper rifle less than 50 meters from a distance of less than 50 meters downstairs in his office, was just on the spaceship and touched Barbara's thigh.
He could have saved his life. Inappropriate self-confidence and overly exuberant secretion of sex hormones. hurt himself.
There are even rumors that the brother and sister Li Fo and Barbara are actually a taboo topic. Don't even think about it. The man, whose complexion and beard were as white as snow, had a creepy spoiling for Barbara. Even if he can become Barbara's guest of the curtain and be known by him, too
"All here?" Barbara Fei picked at the phoenix eyes of her sideburns, the waves flowing, and after nodding to everyone in the room, she staggered to the sofa and sat down.
"There was only one person missing, and Hut didn't come." An old man with gray hair and a navy blue suit walked up to Barbara's side. Elegantly bowed slightly to Barbara.
"You must have heard that our Marshal has set off from Hanjing to return to Heidelfeld, and Barbara is holding the coffee handed by one of the twins, and her slender legs in stockings are cocked and gently stirring the spoon. While saying lightly: "It seems that Francis's death is not a stimulus to the god of war."
There was silence in the room. Everyone watched their noses and noses, carefully controlling their eyes and facial muscles, and they didn't even dare to make too loud noises when they breathed.
Barbara may be alone in this room to talk about Hastings in such a tone.
He has been mixed in the high society of the Fiji League for a long time. Certain rules have become the instinct of all of you. Their status is not enough to be as unscrupulous as Barbara against an opponent like Hastings. Any ridicule of Hastings is a sign of immaturity and political wisdom. The enemy will have nothing to lose, and the companions will stay away from you.
Unless, can you be sure that's what Barbara needs.
At that point, you should not hesitate to step forward. Provoke opponents, or influence others. That's your job, it's what a hound should do. Only the owner who stalks, surrounds, barks, tentatives, pounces, and holds shotguns in his hand. In order to find the weakness of the prey and have the opportunity to pull the trigger!
Even if you're facing a mad lion!
"In the past two days, some of our allies have begun to retreat" Barbara took a sip of coffee, and her rich sexy red lips led into a taunting smile: "When the god of war is away, they jump higher than anyone else, and once the opponent decides to come back, even if they haven't arrived yet, they are already panicking." β
"I'm glad that, at least internally, there is composure and confidence." Barbara's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and she smiled faintly, "Isn't it?" β
No matter how much worry they had about Hastings' return, everyone smiled knowingly, nodded, or raised their glasses. Some even hold their heads up. Show yourself confidence and calmness that is different from others. It seems that from the beginning to the end, there was no fear of Hastings.
"Actually, what do you think, I don't care about Barbara's cold voice, like a storm of minus two hundred degrees, instantly solidifying the smile on everyone's faces.
"I just need to tell you, since you have come to this point, there is no turning back," Barbara said coldly, "looking ahead and looking back, there is never a good end for either end." Neither I, nor Hastings, would need such a person. For the sake of internal unity, I will not hesitate to eradicate all factors of instability before the final battle comes. β
"Got it?" Barbara continued to drink her coffee, her blue eyes and her eyelids not lifted
Under.
After a moment of silence, everyone bowed in unison and bowed their heads. The two twin sisters looked coldly at the men in front of them. In their eyes, these people are just chess pieces without self-consciousness. Even if they are all overlords of one side, they can only obey the law of the jungle and bow down to their rulers.
"There are two lists, a battle report and a medical record report. Look at it. Barbara stood up, looked at the time, walked to the door, and asked the twin sisters to put on her coat. Looking back, he smiled: "You should be glad that you didn't make an excuse to cancel this party today."
With that, she turned around and left Fang Zai.
Until the sound of high heels in the corridor has faded away, disappearing into the distance, the people in the room. It was still quiet. in a depressing atmosphere. Some turned their heads to look at the gray-haired old man.
"Let's see."
The old man, Marcel Friedrich, took a light sip of tea and pointed to the papers on the table.
"You're going to be interested."
A middle-aged man finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he reached out and picked up a document, and the net was opened. He let out an exclamation.
"Hastings' medical record report?.
He screamed, his mouth wide open enough to swallow an egg.
"Deterioration"
Before he could finish his words, he was overwhelmed by the crowd that rushed up, and the folder in his hand was quickly snatched away by others, which quickly caused a commotion.
The other two documents left on the coffee table did not escape either. Just when everyone was shocked and ecstatic at the news of Hastings' deterioration, a burly lieutenant general with a battle report detonated another bomb.
It was the battle report of the Liverford Army. At this moment, thousands of Fyan warships are passing through the Catalan system jump point and entering the Duke Bentley system of the Naga Federation.
The combined fleets of the Naga Federation and the Binalte Empire have lost more than thirty percent of their warships. It was being routed in the onslaught of Liver's fleet.
These two pieces of news sent the entire conference room into a frenzy.
Everyone was as if they had been injected with stimulants, their faces were red and overjoyed. The fears that arose because of Hastings' return had been dashed. Everyone believes that the person who will win in the end must be Li Fo!
He was younger and healthier than Hastings. The performance in this war is also even better.
When Lever once again achieved a victory in Catalonia that brought media attention and the people of Fiyan proud, Hastings returned to bring the aura of a victory for Thunderpeak. will be inundated.
At this time, no one dared to attack Li Fo! Not even Hastings!
Barbara, a well-prepared war is being fought! Li Fo's victory came so easily, as if he had already negotiated it with the people of the Western Covenant! Add to that the news of Hastings' deteriorating condition and Barbara's set-up in the presidential election. This battle is no longer hanging
As long as it drags on for a little longer, Hastings' irreversible condition alone can make this happen. The people of the room, taste the wonderful taste of the final victory!
No one will be in a mess. Bet on the dying old man, and everyone will choose a new king.
The folder was passed in everyone's hands, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed and warm.
If there is any doubt among these core members of the Liverford Group, it may be the two lists that are placed together with the medical records and war reports.
One list included everyone in the room, while the other list consisted of only one person's name, Huter. The guy who is active among the top echelons of the opposition parties, has long sleeves and is good at dancing, is good at words, and is accustomed to observing the wind and colors.
Today, he didn't come!
"I've told you what I should have known." The old man Friedrich walked to the window, activated the automatic opening button of the curtain, and a very friendly smile appeared on his face, and said: "Now, please be quiet and watch a show." β
The curtains slowly open to both sides, and outside the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the deep trees and the snow on the east and west of the land. Appear in front of your eyes.
Friedrich gestured to everyone to look out the window and stepped on the soft carpet. Silently walked towards the door of the room.
This gray-haired old man, with an eternally reserved smile on his face, is wrinkled, but he is very stylish, and has a mature charm. His body is very straight, on the high bridge of his nose, a pair of slender eyes are slightly squinted, and his walking posture and gestures reveal his temperament, which is full of an old Zhongshi with strict cultivation.
Everyone looked out the window in disbelief. In the distance, several black dots are getting closer.
A man in his fifties was dragged by two men in black, one on the left and one on the right, to a glade less than 20 meters from the window. The man who was held hostage was covered in blood and scarred. The three of them were followed by a dark-faced brown-haired young man who was carrying a gun and kept a distance of five meters from the person in front of him.
After grabbing the hair of the man, who had slumped into mud, to let everyone see the only absentee today. The brown-haired young man didn't say anything, didn't pause at all, and directly raised his hand and shot the man's head.
When the blood was sprayed on the snow in the woods, Friedrich, who did not even look back, happened to walk to the sofa.
He picked up the file with Hutter's name on it from the coffee table and pressed the delete button. And then. He politely nodded to the people present and walked slowly out of the room.
Fat Margaret pushed the door open. Walk up to the fat guy who was chatting with his ass on the computer and put a document in front of him.
"What is this?" The fat man looked up.
"The latest information from the Feiyang Military Department" Margaret opened the folder and called up the contents. He handed it to the fat man and said, "In the early hours of this morning, Li Fo suddenly launched a new round of offensive, breaking through the jump point of Duke Bentley's galaxy, and has now annihilated six fleets of the Naga Federation and a wolf-level fleet of the Binarte Empire
"Impossible!" The fat man and the little kid on the computer screen screamed almost at the same time. The two fat people, one big and one small, jumped up violently as if they had a spring on their buttocks!
Margaret was stunned. She didn't expect it. The news. It's going to get such a big reaction from fat people and little kids.
On the human interstellar plan, the Duke Bentley Galaxy is a small galaxy located outside a public galaxy in the southwest of the Catalan system, with only one immigrant star and two depleted resource planets.
The predecessor of the Naga Federation was the Naga Empire. This is also the reason why a democratic federation has an extremely close relationship with the Spanish in terms of history and national feelings.
A thousand years ago, Emperor William V of the Naga Empire decreed that the system be given to Duke Bentley, the most prominent military strategist of the time, as his family fief. The name of this galaxy has also been changed from the former third galaxy of the Alpha Corridor to the Duke of Bentley, a somewhat awkward name that has been used to this day.
From a strategic point of view, the Duke of Bentley system. Obviously not as good as Salamanca, another galaxy adjacent to Catalonia.
You know, after Salamanca, it is the capital of the Naga Federation, the Cadiz Star Field. For the Naga Federation, the loss of Salamanca is equivalent to putting his chest directly against the Duke of Bentley at the tip of the knife, which is only one link in an interstellar corridor. Location is important though. It is only able to threaten the flanks of the Naga Federation, giving the attackers more route options. Therefore, judging from the battle report in the Ryan theater, Lever and Siyo are fighting for control of the jump point between Salamanca and Catalonia. The main forces of both sides are almost pinned down in this area.
Lever's ability to suddenly take down the Duke Bentley Galaxy this time was indeed beyond Margaret's expectations. However, she didn't understand why the fat man and the little kid would jump up at the same time, shouting that it was impossible.
Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, in war. No possibilities can be ruled out!
Moreover, it can also be seen from the documents of the military department. Liver's forces were enough to support him to switch to the Duke of Bentley while holding the jump point in neighboring Salamanca.
"Has your grandfather read the battle report?" The fat man couldn't figure it out and asked, "Did he say anything?"
"I've seen it" Margaret shook her head in confusion: "He didn't"
Margaret's voice froze suddenly. She looked at the fat man and the little kid on the screen with strange and confused expressions, and suddenly a picture flashed through her mind that she had never seen before.
She remembered that when the confidential secretary handed the document to her grandfather, the old man's gaze. There are also some recommendations.
It was a look she hadn't seen in Hastings' eyes in twenty years...... Continue to ask for the moon...... (To be continued)
