Chapter 510: Winter is Coming!
Anfield, an unfamiliar name, no one knows it's just the name of a pitch on a planet that has declined.
But tonight, the entire Capital Star knows the name, not because it used to be the symbol of a certain team on a certain planet, but because of the tomb of Lee.
He said that this is Anfield, so if there were still people who thought it was funny before, then no one dares to laugh now, just like Lin Youde said, after tonight, this is Anfield, isn't it.
So when Li Tomb's car arrived at the prison of the Ministry of the Interior, he saw the temporary governor of the Capital Star waiting there, and asked him if he would change the name of the Capital Star to Anfield from tomorrow.
Li Tomb quietly looked at the Governor of the Capital Star who had just come to power, and as for the previous Governor of the Capital Star, he was now in the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He bent over, his face wrinkled because of his too flattering smile, like a dehydrated orange, Li Tomb could see flattery, nervousness, fear, and deliberate loyalty and flattery, which made people feel satisfied, but they didn't like it.
So Li Tomb sent a few words, then ignored him, and stepped into the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which had just been rebuilt not long ago, and was already overcrowded, with countless shouts of injustice, roars, and curses, like a vegetable market.
But when Li Tomb's figure appeared, all the sounds suddenly stopped, as if pressing the static button on the screen, and the whole world fell silent.
Li Tomb walked by expressionlessly, he could see countless eyes full of fear, anger, and resentment falling on him, he ignored it, and just walked straight by. Go to the bottom of the prison, where Barton and Sam are held.
He came to ask the question of why they chose to confess their sins at that time.
But when Li Tomb really saw Patton, he suddenly became uninterested and had no interest in asking questions. Barton sat on his prison bed. It was a very narrow room, but his spine was straight, as if he knew that Li Tomb would come, he didn't look back, just looked at the ceiling, "You're here." ”
"I just made a bet with Sam that you'd come. It looks like I won. ”
As he spoke, he seemed a little happy and stood up. Walking around with his head down, after a while, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Tomb, "You have to win too." ”
After saying a word, seeing that Li Tomb did not answer, he walked to the door of the cell and said a word. Looking into Li Tomb's eyes, "You." You have to win. ”
"Promise me you'll win."
He repeated the words again, with a kind of longing in his eyes that bordered on pleading.
Li Tomb looked at him, was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "I walked all the way here, and I saw too much fear. Angry, resentful, only you, but hoping that I can win, is this irony for me? ”
Barton thought in silence. "I don't know. But I thought, I can lose, I can die. But the Federation, no. So, promise me. I can confess my sins, confess all the charges, whatever you want me to do. But please, tell me, you're going to win, and no matter what happens, you're going to win with the Federation. ”
Li Tomb's eyes were blazing, looking at Patton deeply, as if he wanted to see his heart through his eyes, just looked at him directly for a while, Li Tomb did not answer, just turned to leave.
"You've got to win!"
There was also Barton's shouts from behind, some helpless, some pleading, but so determined.
So Li Tomb couldn't help but speed up his pace and left this gloomy prison. An hour later, he got the news that Barton had committed suicide in his cell after signing a very favorable indictment document in Lee's tomb.
Just ten minutes after Patton's suicide, Sam in the cell next to him also signed the accusation and chose to die.
"Your Majesty, with this accusation document, the evidence is conclusive, and no one can doubt our actions tonight."
Lin Yanzhi was a little excited, he didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, "It's just a pity, according to your intentions, the two of them could get amnesty after identification, as a way to prove the legitimacy of our actions, but they chose to die." ”
Li Zhen looked at the accusation document, was silent for a moment, and seemed to see Patton's eyes again, shaking his head, "Continue to act according to the plan." ”
Lin Yanzhi saw that Li Tomb's mood didn't seem to be very good, nodded, said no more, and withdrew from the study. Li Tomb poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then picked up the accusation document and looked at it.
The previous cooperation with Barton was quite pleasant, and this last collaboration is no different. Barton knew exactly what he wanted, so he gave it to him.
Once this indictment document takes effect, he will have complete control over the entire Federation, and none of those who have tried to stumble him before will escape.
It's a pity that Lee Tomb knew that Barton was willing to sign this document and cooperate with him so much, not because Barton was heartfelt to him, but because Barton knew what he wanted, and Barton still hated him, but Barton loved the country more than himself.
So even though Barton knew that many of the charges on this document were unfounded, Barton still signed his name and still chose to plead guilty.
This is a pure and sane patriot, he knows that he can no longer resist Li Tomb's control of the country, so he chooses to give in, no, not to give in, but to another kind of preservation.
He is so sensible that he knows that Li Tomb's control of this country is unstoppable, so the only thing he can do is to let Li Tomb completely control this country, so that Li Tomb can go all out to lead the Federation to meet the upcoming challenges.
In the coming war, a unified federation can be won, and there is no room for any luck or any division.
Patton knew this, so he chose to give in, choosing to nail his name to the country's pillar of shame in exchange for a possible victory.
"It's a pity."
Li Tomb shook his head and locked the document in his drawer, he chose Barton because he liked Barton as a patriot, and Barton did not disappoint him.
No matter how much Barton was not used to his actions in the Federation, he still fulfilled the obligations of a Federation president very well. No, even better.
At least among the forces that Li Tomb now wields, there is no one who can make him feel that he can take Patton's place, but Patton still chooses death after all.
The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. He can help Lee take control of the country because he wants the Federation to win. Whether it was in his hands or in the hands of Li Tomb, he didn't mind that.
But he still had his own conscience, so after betraying the others, he chose to die.
This is a contradictory person, with the reason and passion of a patriot, but also with a conscience that should not be there. A patriot with a conscience is unqualified.
But such people are undoubtedly more real. Admirable.
Li Tomb didn't admire Patton, he just sighed a little, because he knew that after Patton's death, there might be no more such people in this country. From then on, his ears will be filled with flattery and praise, and it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
But now is not the time to think about that. He looked into the distance and stood up. Reaching out to the star map on the wall, his gaze seemed to fall to the starry sky countless light years away, where two menacing fleets were coming wildly.
"After this purge, the Federation will be completely under my control, and now it's time to think about how to deal with these two fleets. The Black Prison Empire, the Korean-Vietnamese Empire ......"
Li Tomb muttered in a low voice. Press the inner line, "Give me the latest information, where is the fleet of the Black Prison Empire and the Hanyue Empire?" ”
"The latest news, the fleet of the Black Prison Empire is approaching the edge of the Double Eagle Empire, and it is expected to reach the Star Domain of the Double Eagle Empire within ten days. And the fleet of the Hanyue Empire may arrive a little later, but it will not be more than twelve days late. ”
"According to the analysis of the current battle situation, the fleets of the Black Prison Empire and the Hanyue Empire officially appeared on the battlefield to participate in the battle, which should be fifteen days later. Now the Front Command has prepared a response plan......"
Li Tomb quietly listened to the latest battle report and fell into thought.
Three days later, the purge in the federation came to an end temporarily, and Li Tomb moved his character this time, seized the opportunity, and directly washed the blood of those powerful families in the entire federation, and replaced them with manpower, although much more mediocre, but at least it was enough to ensure loyalty.
Determining that the situation in the Federation had completely fallen into his control, Li Tomb no longer stayed in the Federation, and took his spaceship to the front line.
The most important situation now is to solve the first wave of the alliance between the Black Prison Empire and the Hanyue Empire, at least until the Sujin Republic completely expresses its support for the Mueller Federation, this group of coalition forces can only rely on Li Tomb and rely on the Federation itself to solve it.
For this reason, before leaving the Federation and going to the front, Li Tomb issued a third round of conscription orders again, and after this conscription, the active army of the Federation will be expanded to 5 billion.
This is a terrifying number, but when it comes to warships, it is not much, taking the existing Antu II battleship of the Federation as an example, a regular crew on a battleship needs almost 100,000.
In other words, if five billion soldiers are all used to arm warships, they can only have 50,000 warships. Judging from the configuration of each fleet of the Federation before, 50,000 warships could only arm fifty new fleets.
Of course, the entire distribution of military forces cannot really be calculated in this way, but it is not too much different.
Based on the 100,000 troops of a main ship and the 1,000 troops of a gunboat, each fleet formed by the Federation is almost configured according to a ratio of one to five, that is, one main ship is equipped with five gunboats.
If you calculate it, an integrated fleet will probably need about 70 million troops, plus ground corps, logistics and transport warships, and so on, and in order to maintain the successful operation of an integrated fleet, 100 million troops is a relatively reasonable number.
Of course, this is a perfect situation that can only be achieved in a state of war, and in fact no country will completely fill a fleet in a non-war situation. (To be continued......)
