Chapter One Hundred and Sixty, David
The Overseer of the Dreiser Star is called David Mustafa. He is forty-five years old and is a member of the Mustafa family. He doesn't have the dark skin that is the trademark of the Mustafars, but has healthy, natural sun-kissed skin. The black curly hair and a pair of eyes that can see through a qiē are the true inheritance of the Mustafa family.
David Mustafa has been an Overseer for twelve years. Over the past decade, he has implemented a series of new decrees and methods that have nearly doubled the planet's ore production. But none of the miners on Dreiser came back to praise the planet's top official, for his way of increasing ore production was by constantly squeezing the miners' labor.
Tens of thousands of miners die in their jobs every year, and every year more Chinese are brought to this strange planet to do heavy physical labor. But when the profits from the ore were no longer enough to satisfy David Mustafa's appetite, he turned his hand to other industries on the planet.
Now, the entire process of mining, smelting, and selling is monopolized by the Mustafa family, and David is also in control of the planetary council and the judicial system, and the police are just a new means of pumping oil and water from the common people.
David's control of the entire Dresser Star is outrageous. It is said that there was once a civilian-born MP who tried to confront David in Parliament, but the next day he was beaten to death by a group of men in black with batons at the door of the House. Since then, the entire planet has become like David Mustafa's private property.
At this time, David Mustafa sat in the luxurious large office of the Overseer. The delicate pale yellow Middelstar head-floor calfskin sofa and the large antique desk in Lille star willow wood all show David's taste for luxury.
There was a person standing nervously in front of David, his upper body was stiff, looking up at the ceiling at forty-five minutes, his expression was stiff and he didn't dare to shoot his gaze at David sitting at the desk. His calves were trembling from an angle the Overseer couldn't see, and a cold sweat was breaking out on his back. Wet the vest with sweat and slowly seep out the marks of the vest.
The person standing was none other than Gao Yifeng, who had just been called to the office by the Overseer to report on today's findings alone. He is like a little white rabbit caught by a jackal and carried in his paws.
"So, these three objects were the first you discovered?" David spoke in a calm tone, and there was not much change in the tone of his words, so that people could not grasp the point of the problem.
"Yes, yes. Sir! Gao Yifeng replied tremblingly.
"You don't have to be nervous!" David said softly, the corners of his mouth slightly upward, making a gentlemanly smile. "Just a few random questions. Did you do any video identification after you found out? ”
"Yes, sir!" Gao Yifeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to be as natural as possible.
"The result is unrecognizable?"
"Yes, sir!"
"And then you reported to the Ministry of Air Defense as a general situation and sent an on-site patrol detachment?"
"Yes, sir!"
"But later video visuals turned out to be spaceship debris?"
"Yes, sir!"
"But where did the fragments come from? It seems that there is no record of the disappearance of the spaceship in the recent past! ”
"Uh."
"And those two ion jet engines, which seem to be the engines of military spacecraft. Have you asked the patrol team to investigate the records of those two engines? ”
"No, no. Sir. Gao Yifeng said weakly.
David frowned gracefully. said: "Understood, you leave!" ”
"Yes! Sir! Gao Yifeng was relieved, made a perfect back turn, and prepared to walk out of the Overseer's office.
Just as he was about to take a step. David asked again, "What is the third landing point?" ”
Gao Yifeng immediately stood up and replied, "The patrol team reported that it was an empty rescue cabin. ”
As Gao Yifeng left the Overseer's office. David Mustafa shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice: "These stupid guys don't know what they're missing. ”
The owner of the hotel has closed the hotel early. The six police officers who had been knocked unconscious by Liona were stripped of their clothes. The flowers were tied up and left in the cellar.
"That's all we can help you with." Descartes said to the restaurateur.
Behind Descartes, six people, including Poison in police uniforms, covered their faces with large caps, nodded to Descartes, and left the hotel in a dignified manner.
Li De sat for a moment, digesting the information about David Mustafa that the hotel owner had just introduced to them. Leona sat obediently in her chair and watched the conversation between Descartes and the owner of the hotel.
"Boss, I'm not going to tell you a secret. We are all people who are inconvenient to reveal our identities and whereabouts," Descartes made a downward gesture, indicating that they could only operate underground, "but we don't like to drag you down, so this time ......"
"It's okay! You must know that in Dressaixing, there are so many people who hate these black dogs! Add to this the fact that they suppressed the strike two weeks ago, and now the whole planet is like a powder keg! The owner of the hotel said.
"Will you rebel against the Federation?" Li De asked.
The owner of the hotel quickly made a small gesture and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You don't know what's going on here. There are overseers' eyes and ears all over the planet, and if they hear them, whoever they are will suddenly disappear. ”
"So, what about the Chinese miners?"
"Those Chinese? They can't protect themselves, where do they still have the heart to resist? Moreover, there are a lot of troops watching from the mine, and the Chinese people can't mess up. ”
"Where's the little girl, Vivi?" Li De asked again.
"She? She was just one of a group of homeless orphans. ”
"Stray orphans?"
"There are more than a dozen orphans left behind by the miners who died as a result of the crackdown, all of them teenagers." The owner of the hotel said with some patience, "They are all hiding on the side of Menke Street." ”
"Menco Street?"
"Yes, it's the only place on the planet where an Overseer can't control it. There are gangs, drug dealers, underground casinos, and quite a few of those places. The owner of the hotel made a lewd expression that even men understand.
"It seems to be a good place for us!" Descartes said.
"Let's go find that girl!" Li De said with determination.
At this time, Poison and the others quietly returned to the hotel from behind. They had changed into normal clothes, and the police uniforms had already been burned by them.
"Where to go?" Poison asked.
"A good place! Let's completely free the planet from the shadow of the Federation! Li De's expression was stern, his eyes were like torches, and he said word by word.
"What?" Everyone, including the restaurant owner, was taken aback. Everyone looked at Li De like a monster.
"We're in a situation where we are now, and it's all the result of the corrupt federal system and the big families. The only way to change this is to break away from the control of the Federation. As long as the Mustafa family controls the Draiss, we will live forever in the dark. Li Deyi said righteously, which made the hotel owner stunned.
"Lid," Descartes said, taking Lidd's arm, "what the hell are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to smash this federation, smash it completely! This planet is the first step! "How much power do you think can destroy the House of Kent?" Those big families must have been involved in this matter. By doing so, I'm avenging the Kent family! Avenge us! ”
Descartes was silent. He knew that what Li De said was the truth. The ability to destroy the Kent family, and the swift co-ordination of parliament to introduce new trade laws and conscription laws, is enough to see that those large families have merged together and begun to exclude dissidents. It is no longer the ten major families that really control this federation, but one or two big families.
And once there is civil strife in the Federation, those one or two big families will gradually surface, not only becoming the target of their revenge, but also the target of other families. That way they have a better chance of coming and knocking them down.
However, in this case, the whole of humanity will be plunged into a civil war. Under the intense pressure of alien races, can this really happen? If that happens, what will be the fate of humanity? (To be continued......)
