Chapter 14: Death's Smile

An ominous sign began to gradually swell into Yang Lei's heart, he lowered his head and his hands trembled slightly from time to time, Bai Yanzhang walked straight up when he saw this, grabbed his hand firmly, and shook his head, I don't know what it was hinting at.

After Yang Lei realized this, his inner emotions slowly calmed down, and then the two walked out of the conference room side by side.

At this time, in the R&D hall, all kinds of instruments were running in an orderly manner, very noisy, and when those workers saw Yang Lei, they also showed a trace of strange eyes, but because Bai Yanzhang's identity as the director of national security was there, and the chairman was extremely fond of and protective of this kid, everyone didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Do you think Autoliv's death has something to do with the Speaker?" Bai Yanzhang said, and carefully observed the change in the expression on the latter's face, as if he wanted to learn something from it.

Yang Lei was stunned after hearing this, and then opened his mouth and said, "I don't know either." I just think he's a little different today. ”

"How is it different?" Bai Yanzhang asked.

Yang Lei was speechless, thought about it, shook his head again, and said: "Maybe I'm too sensitive, I always think things are too complicated, but in fact, I think the other way around, it may be as he said, which terrorist organization has been planning against Autoliv for a long time?" ”

"Now is not the time to run away!" Bai Yanzhang stared at him deadly, his eyes glowing red and bloodshot.

After hearing the cheers, the workers all showed strange eyes, seeing this, Bai Yanzhang loosened his tie, his face flushed slightly, if it weren't for the dead rule that prohibits smoking in the R&D hall, he would have been swallowing the clouds and spitting fog on the side.

Looking at Yang Lei, who was silent, he then enlightened: "Do you remember what I told you in the interrogation room? Someone is trying to break the rules of the Federation, and robbing Autoliv may well be their first plan! ”

"If you think about it carefully, is he different from usual, or is he ......?"

"No, no, no." Yang Lei waved his hand, felt a tingling pain in his temples, calmed down, and said, "I just think that he ...... It seems that he is no longer the old chief I knew three years ago. ”

"Huh." Hearing this, Bai Yanzhang smiled and interjected: "You're right, today's Dongfang Shuo is indeed completely different from the Huaxia Patron Saint three years ago, and now a series of unreasonable bills of rights issued by the military are all from him, and, taking the matter of the Windrunner in front of you, do you think you can pay such a huge amount of expenses according to the current financial situation of the military?" ”

"Soldiers' salaries have been severely deducted, and the armament of ordinary marines has been completely reduced to what it was before the Storm War, do you think it is appropriate to do this just to be able to put a new type of mech into the battlefield smoothly in the future? Besides, if the war between the five great powers starts out on this, do you think we can win the war with just the few mobile units of our army?! ”

"Are you saying that there are still any irreconcilable contradictions between our country and the four empires?" Looking at Bai Yanzhang's serious expression, Yang Lei felt incredulous.

Bai Yanzhang sighed and explained, "Do you know about the incident of Miyamoto Musashi, who has been in a lot of uproar some time ago, running for the sixth speaker? ”

Yang Lei nodded.

Yang Lei, who usually pays attention to military news and international trends, still knows about this matter, about half a month ago, Miyamoto Musashi, the prime minister of the Japanese slave empire who has just taken office, I don't know what kind of means he used, restored the due seat of the Japanese slave empire in the Senate, and also threatened to join the federal cabinet and run for the sixth speaker.

Yang Lei knew that this situation was mostly due to the use of armed violence by the Japanese slave empire to threaten others, and those backward empires with weak national strength were forced to agree to this unreasonable request, but what surprised everyone was still to come, that is, as the supreme leader of the Chinese military, Dongfang Shuo actually voted in favor!

As we all know, today's federal cabinet has a total of five members, which are composed of the top military commanders of the five major powers, so they are also known as the "five speakers". And the most famous of them is General Wren of the American Empire, and Dongfang Shuo has become the existence of the veteran who is over fifty years old after the Wren family, so Huaxia's status in the international community is still very respected, but what puzzles all the imperial members of the Senate is how Dongfang Shuo could make such a decision?

You must know that looking at the entire Federation of United States, only Huaxia has the most profound historical relationship with the Japanese Slave Empire, so this makes everyone unable to figure out what this Chinese military god is thinking in his heart, which naturally includes Yang Lei.

Regarding the unpredictable situation in the political arena, Yang Lei can only sigh with joy, and with his own strength, even if he knows, what can he change?

However, fortunately, despite the support of Dongfang Shuo, the Japanese slave empire still softened under the suppression of the other four powers, and Miyamoto Musashi's idea of running for the sixth speaker was also dashed because of this crucial difference of four votes.

Since this incident, Dongfang Shuo's popularity in the entire federation has begun to decline rapidly, until now, even the majority of Chinese citizens have begun to be disappointed in his approach.

"You have to think carefully about it, and now your words and deeds may become useful clues." Bai Yanzhang said solemnly: "In the interrogation room, I have already told you what I really think in my heart, and I have also told the object of my initial suspicion, but if you pretend not to know anything and just blindly evade, our cooperation may not have any effect!" ”

After a while, Bai Yanzhang looked at Yang Lei, who frowned for a while and sighed for a while, knowing that his heart was gradually loosening, and after a few months of contact, he already had a comprehensive understanding of Yang Lei's character, so he said: "I regard you as a friend, and I hope you will do the same, otherwise, I will really be disappointed." ”

"I ......" Yang Lei looked at him and said, "I just accidentally saw him laughing just now, so there is a trace of suspicion...... If that's a clue, I hope it helps. ”

"Laugh? Why is he laughing? Bai Yanzhang's expression was solemn, and he didn't miss the slightest opportunity, and began to analyze himself: "Isn't he surprised and angry about Autoliv's death? I knew that this was a living provocation......"

Yang Lei thought for a long time before he said: "I thought about it at the time, and that smile still contained pride, self-satisfaction, and seemed to be very confident in something." But I think it's too hasty to judge something based on a smile? ”

"Smug, confident smile?" Bai Yanzhang looked very puzzled.

In fact, Yang Lei still has a key word that he didn't say, that is, weird! That's right, that kind of laughter, as if it was heralding the coming of death, made people tremble and an inexplicable fear, and he dared to guarantee that that kind of laughter was something he had never encountered in his life, and it seemed to be completely in line with the careerist image that Bai Yanzhang told him in the interrogation room, and even like it was in his bones.

Bai Yanzhang couldn't help frowning when he heard Yang Lei's words, indeed, just relying on a smile to make rash conclusions, this is not his style of doing things, intelligence work has always paid attention to evidence.

In the face of absolute evidence, no amount of words will seem unconvincing!

"But there's another thing that I think you'll be interested in." Yang Lei said.

Bai Yanzhang looked up and asked, "Oh? ”

"Just now, when I was looking at him, he tried to mentally hypnotize me, but fortunately, I noticed it in time, so I ......" Yang Lei didn't say the second half of the sentence after all, but it was enough, he believed that the other party would understand what he meant.

Hearing this, Bai Yanzhang's eyes lit up obviously.

"That's ......" (To be continued.) )
