Chapter 230 Choice! (Final!) )
"This document, I will ask Harbin to check it, and Pinghai will continue to maintain the original plan and receive Ivanov." After Chen Mo arrived in Levin City, Xu Tiegong personally met with him.
After all, the impact of this matter is too great, and once it leaks, it will not only affect the Corps. Therefore, Xu Tiegong sealed the chip as soon as possible and urged Chen Mo to return to the mine.
Chen Mo unexpectedly did not have any violent reaction, said goodbye to Xu Tiegong, and returned directly. Xu Tiegong didn't know Chen Mo on the first day, and knew that this kid must be holding back.
After careful consideration, Xu Tiegong sent someone to stop Chen Mo's car and secretly summoned Chen Mo. …… North Central Region.
Levine City. Upper Town of Jungar. Lan Feng Clubhouse. It is a large clubhouse that combines dining, resting, and hot springs.
There are 18 large private rooms in the clubhouse, which are divided by a building with marble as the main body, which is soundproof and noise-insulating, and does not affect each other.
Lanfeng Clubhouse, Imperial Dining Hall. Xu Tiegong did not bring his entourage, and in the palatial hall, Chen Mo was waiting alone on the way back.
To ensure absolute privacy, all dishes are pre-made semi-finished dishes that are served hot and served. The waiter took the initiative to disperse after opening the door for Chen Mo, who was in the dust.
In the huge space, only Chen Mo and Xu Tiegong remained. Seeing Chen Mo standing at the door, looking around, and had no intention of sitting, Xu Tiegong beckoned.
"Come and sit." Chen Mo tilted his head.
"Sir, is it the Hongmen Banquet?" Xu Tiegong smiled.
"I know you must be suspicious by now, doubting the truth about the mine explosion and doubting my position." Chen Mo didn't refute or nod.
Here's a default.
"Here, there is no one else but you and me." Xu Tiegong smiled and poured Chen Mo a cup of small burn: "Even if you don't have any trust in the Corps now, don't you have confidence in your own strength?" Chen Mo was silent for a few seconds, then slowly walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite Xu Tiegong.
"Sir, I know it's rude and infuriating. But I still want to know, did you do the explosion in the mine? ”
"You've found the murderer, why do you ask me such a question?"
"No one in the corps gives the coordinates, and Yi Neng will not be able to enter at all. If there is a location, the coordinates can be calculated, and there is no need to fight in future wars, and it will be over by teleporting over and throwing a cloudburst bomb and teleporting back. Xu Tiegong nodded.
"Naturally, there are problems within the Corps, not only in the mines, but also in other areas..."
"Nope." Chen Mo interrupted Xu Tiegong: "I only talk about the mine, I am not a high-level in Donghuang, and I don't care about so many complicated things, I came for the mine, only the mine." Xu Tiegong looked at Chen Mo.
Shake one’s head.
"The mine was vigorously developed by me and Governor Xu, and I have no reason or position to blow it up." Chen Mo drank the small roast in front of him.
"I trust you, but I'll keep looking into it too."
"You are no longer the director of the mining bureau, this is not your responsibility, I will let Harbin continue to investigate, do a good job, find out the results, I will notify you." Hearing this, Chen Mo chuckled and shook his head.
Xu Tiegong looked at Chen Mo, with relief and amazement in his eyes, and finally all of them turned into a heavy sigh in his chest.
"Chen Mo, do you know why I helped you and even saved you so many times?" Chen Mo didn't think that Xu Tiegong would play the emotional card, so he shook his head originally.
Xu Tiegong smiled, no longer sat upright, cocked Erlang's legs, and lit a cigarette for himself. casually threw the cigarette case in front of Chen Mo.
"Don't be so serious, you want to eat, you want to smoke." The familiar action of holding a cigarette and the casual Erlang legs, Chen Mo seemed to see Lao Bai in a dazzled eye.
The explosion in the mine has not yet been finalized to be related to Xu Tiegong, and Chen Mo did not drill the tip of the horns, relaxed a little, and lit one for himself.
"We've met many times, but this is the first time we've had a formal conversation." Xu Tiegong spit out a smoke ring: "Tell me, when I was in college, why did I join the uprising, and how was I arrested?" Chen Mo was stunned.
That year. He XVIII. Passionate. Dare to carry the banner and call on countless compatriots. Fearless and unstoppable.
It's not that long ago, but it's like a world away. Chen Mo laughed, not knowing whether to sigh for the years or laugh at himself.
"When I was a child, I was just ignorant." Xu Tiegong shook his head.
"It's never a bad thing to have a spirit of resistance." Chen Mole was happy.
"Like now?"
"It's the same now." Xu Tiegong nodded: "The history of human development is the history of human resistance. Without resistance, humanity cannot break free from the shackles of fate. Chen Mo's face was expressionless.
"In a slave society, where no one resisted, there would be no later feudalism. If no one resists in a feudal society, the people at the bottom will be oppressed for a lifetime, and there will be no later constitutional monarchy, no later G peace system, and no social system with a hundred flowers blooming before the cataclysmic era. ”
"So, sir, what exactly do you want to tell me?" Xu Tiegong ignored Chen Mo and said to himself.
"After the Cataclysmic Era, we have experienced unity, federalism... However, with the development of colonies in the solar system, the federal system can no longer be maintained, and many feudal officials go their own way, and finally on the eve of the war on the home planet, the warlords are divided and the heroes are everywhere. Chen Mo nodded.
This is completely consistent with history textbooks.
"After the War on the Home Planet, the iron-blooded Grand Duke Agamemnon restored the imperial system, took over the authority of the former ruling Z Party, and put down the war within the system." Xu Tiegong's tone was as usual: "But it is precisely because of the imperial system that the gap between the rich and the poor in the home planet has widened further. The power held by the upper classes is becoming more and more concentrated, and the people of the lower classes are not even living as they were before the war on the home planet. Chen silently.
"So, you have been called upon by the remnants of the rebel army who survived the war on your home planet, and you agree with their ideas, believing that the imperial system is not in line with the current social structure, and it is not in line with the interests of the middle and lower classes, so you rise up and plan to use the way of demonstrations to awaken more oppressed people, yes or no?!" The last four words, like thunder on the ground, blew up Chen Mo in a cold sweat.
"Yes and no!" Xu Tiegong repeated it again. The sound is like a bell, fast and swift. Don't give Chen Mo time to think, don't give Chen Mo a chance to refute.
Chen Mo's lips moved, and he finally made up his mind, looked up at Xu Tiegong, and replied with the same loudness.
"Yes!"
"You've been sentenced to twenty years in prison, forcing Whitestone to take you away! Luna died early because she couldn't enjoy the better medical conditions of her home planet, don't you regret it later?! ”
"Regret! But give me a chance to do it again, I will choose to resist oppression, the idea of foolishness, and the monarchy! Chen Mo replied without the slightest hesitation.
Xu Tiegong smiled with satisfaction, and his voice softened.
"Then let's talk about Y."
"What boy doesn't have a lot of blood? As a young man, I experienced a regime change in my home planet, and witnessed the empire controlling and fooling people with high housing prices, extreme working hours, and medical care and education, which could almost be considered a monopoly on resources. Chen Mo no longer had the slightest reservation, and poured out the words that had been buried in the deepest part.
It's come to this, no matter how bad it is?!
"This is a deformed society!" Chen Mo's voice was no longer loud, but it was extremely firm: "I have witnessed them controlling the farmers' water source and finally the land, and I have also witnessed people who are alive and full of life become screws in the gears of society. Use people's crumbling spirits, broken dreams, and labor surpluses as fuel. Chen Mo extinguished the cigarette.
"I declare war! Not because I was against the monarchy, nor because I remembered my fallen Resistance! This is a war of the people against the unbridled social system, and it is also a war against the might! "If it is Chen Mo's passionate speech in front, from the beginning of the declaration of war, it is an oath.
This is the oath of the Resistance Army. Xu Tiegong continued Chen Mo's words.
"The backbone and humanity of this era are being eaten alive by the empire, and we refuse to stand idly by, we refuse to pretend to be deaf and dumb. We will stop them, defeat them, and tear them apart at all costs! Proletarian JJ never dies! Chen Mo opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu Tiegong.
Xu Tiegong smiled back.
"Let me introduce myself again, I am the 02 commissioner of the Strategy Department of the Resistance Army on the home planet, Xu Tiegong, codenamed Queen Bee." Chen Mo was caught off guard by the incoming information.
"Comrade." Xu Tiegong stretched out his hand. Chen Mo hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand, and shook it with Xu Tiegong.
"I appreciate your attitude of never flinching in the face of power, and I appreciate your courage to break through the dark curtain and go straight to the truth, so, Comrade Chen Mo, are you willing to return to the arms of the resistance!" Replaced by Chen Mo, who had just arrived in Rus, he must have red eyes and swore allegiance.
But Chen Mo has seen too much darkness over the years, and he has also faced life and death several times. He is no longer the hairy boy he was back then.
So he was silent. After a while, Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
"Sir, I can't go back." Xu Tiegong was stunned. With his understanding of Chen Mo, he originally thought that Chen Mo would return to the embrace of the organization as soon as possible.
"Why?"
"Sir, there is only one life, you can't do it all over again, I failed once, and I know the hardships in between." Chen Mo sighed lightly: "You are a resistance army, I shouldn't say discouraged words." But how slim is the hope of overthrowing the Iron Prince? Moreover, the Martial God has also changed from a resistance army to a watchdog, with all due respect, the current empire can only collapse from the inside, and to outsiders, it is an impregnable watchtower. ”
"Those who believe in miracles are miracles in themselves. We can't see the light in the night, but we still work hard for it, and this is the power of faith. ”
"Sir, I am a man of no faith." Xu Tiegong fell silent.
"At the very least, I won't join the Resistance until the mine explosion is clear, because I can't be sure if you're someone to trust." Xu Tiegong is clear.
"Comrade Chen Mo, I envy you for pursuing justice and truth, but I am in a different position, and I can only do things with the thinking of a politician. A sage once said that politics is the exchange of interests and the right compromise. ”
"Understood."
"If you really want to find out the truth about the mines, I can help you." Chen Mo didn't answer, because he knew that there must be a follow-up.
"But on the other hand, you have to put in the effort."
