089 Welcome back to the team [Five Watches!] 】
One lie needs a hundred lies to maintain.
Yang Wei finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.
On the third day after the annihilation of the agent, there are now a total of three versions of lies about his missile attack, which are:
Advanced Simulation Robot Escape;
Empty "monster" hovercar;
And the most outrageous - bombed, but not dead.
The first lie was the story Edwan told to the old emperor, and it was also a message to the intelligence services of the Sherman Empire.
The second lie is that Yang Wei fooled Edwang and Gutun Maha.
The third lie, which is even more powerful, is the version that is happening now, made up by Edwan in an attempt to fool Miss Windsor.
Outside the negative pressure ward in this humble hospital, Miss Windsor looked at Yang Wei on the hospital bed with tears in her eyes, she bit her lower lip lightly, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Highness! Is he seriously injured?"
"You don't have to thank me, Miss Windsor."
Edwan Zhengsedao:
"Yang Wei, who we found on the beach, in order to prevent the new federal agents from causing him a second injury, I decided to temporarily conceal this news.
"I'm sorry I didn't let you know in time.
"Don't worry about his injuries, his heart and brain are intact, so it's not a big problem...... You also have to keep it a secret from the outside world, can you do that?"
Windsor hurriedly replied, "I will! I—May I go in and see him?"
"Oh, it's better not to," Edwang kept shaking his head, "It's a sterile negative pressure ward, and he's just had surgery, right...... The kind of high-tech surgical robot that helped him do it, in short, ......."
"He's so pathetic."
Windsor lamented:
"Those agents are full of sin! Why did they target Yang Wei? He's so kind."
"Kindness? Oh, that's right! He is kind...... But this is war, this is a war between the New Federation and the Sherman Empire, and the New Federation has chosen our country as a battlefield, Miss Windsor, and that's something we can't choose."
Edwan wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.
He'd better cultivate a few reliable cronies.
Next time there is this kind of work, you can let them do it, he is really not good at dealing with this kind of scene!
Finally, Miss Windsor was here for a while, and was forcibly persuaded to leave by a team of bodyguards sent by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
- Now that the city of Yinlando is in chaos, Windsor has also been grounded, and he can't stay outside for a long time.
This gave Edwang a long sigh of relief.
When His Royal Highness the Second Prince personally sent Miss Windsor away, he returned to the door of the ward, which was guarded by mechanical guards and guarded by intelligent nurses; Edwan leaned closer to the window and glanced inside, and immediately became angry.
Yang Wei, who was wrapped in a bandage and became a muno, was crossing Erlang's legs at the moment, nibbling on expensive imported fruits with his only exposed mouth, and eating with relish.
Edwang pushed open the door and rushed in, turned on the shielding device in the ward, and immediately started scolding:
"My grandiose son would go against the principles of a gentleman and lie to a beautiful lady! And you're still so laid-back! You have worried Miss Windsor! She's your little sweetheart! It's not mine!"
"So," Yang Wei spread his hands, "I caused the current situation?" I was a victim of a missile attack."
"You should be gentler with Windsor, or at least you should."
Edwan immediately made a very weak look, and his eyes became a little blurred, which was full of nostalgia for this life, and said in a trembling voice:
"I—I love you...... Even if my life is about to wander away, all I think and think about is you......"
Yang Wei's forehead was full of black lines: "Seriously, Edwang, why don't you become a drama actor?"
Edwang snapped his fingers and pointed at Yang Wei with both hands: "How do you know my ideal ten years ago?"
Yang Wei forced the topic back to business: "The New Federation
What's the reaction over there?"
"Uh," Edwan sat back on the bench next to him, grabbed a piece of fruit and nibbled on it, "this is a nice basket...... Their reaction was fierce and restrained. You should have seen the news that the formation of two thousand-kilometer-class capital warships of the New Federation has arrived near our star field, and their diplomats are putting maximum pressure on us, announcing that they will sanction us from all sides."
Yang Wei wondered, "Didn't they send spy agents to assassinate us? We're getting rid of the agents and spies in our territory, and it's a perfectly legitimate defense! And they want to sanction us?"
Edwan pouted, "They claim that we have violated human rights***, violated the Galactic Moral Convention, and created a humanitarian tragedy. Of the more than 1,000 people, they insist, only a few dozen are in the service of the new federal state security services, and the rest are normal business elites."
Yang Wei burst into a foul mouth, and then asked, "Did I release the video for you?"
"Of course, let it out, it's full of Federation GIs, *** dropped Federation GIs, our people carried their corpses and weapons."
Edwan laughed:
"This video topped the national hot search of the Sherman Empire, and there was no news in the countries of the new federal system...... Oh yes, I remember why I came, and I have two good news to share with you!"
"What?"
"The first good news, the Sherman Empire's 079 ship group has appeared near the new Federation fleet, and the two sides have begun to confront each other.
"The Sherman Empire has just announced that it will provide us with 36.5 billion Imperial Coins in the amount of silver reduction, as well as 30 billion Imperial Coins in arms sales, which is equivalent to supporting us with a batch of weapons that they have obsolete."
Edwan chuckled:
"Finally, the goal we worked towards, to reduce some of the annual silver, has been formally achieved."
Yang Wei nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed good news, the Sherman Empire has indeed stepped forward."
"Well, that suggestion of yours has helped a lot," Edwang said, "We gave the credit for this annihilation of the New Federation agent gang to the Earl of a prominent family in the Sherman Empire, who facilitated the reduction of the silver and the sale of arms. This deal has given us a good relationship with the earl, and I am going to send him more of our souvenirs."
Yang Wei smiled, "What about the other good news?"
"You're going to be a hero!"
"Huh?" Yang Wei suddenly became two big, "What hero?"
"My father's order."
Edwan laughed:
"He wants to take back the military power...... While we were in the middle of the operation, we happened to have a meeting with the top brass of the military, which prevented them from paying attention to the transport ship.
"In the past two days, the military has also put pressure on us in turn to get the royal family to admit that the attack on the new federal agents was deceived by misinformation. This completely angered my father.
"By the way, you're the one who got Guton Maha to get that transport?"
"That's true," Yang replied very easily.
"I told my father that Gutun Maha and I have a good relationship, and I have covered up this detail," Edwang's eyes flickered slightly, "Now, Gutun Maha has been suspected by other high-ranking military officials, and we must find a way to keep this general."
"Tell me about heroes," Yang Wei smiled bitterly, "Your ability to divert the topic is too strong."
Edwan spread his hands: "This is explaining the cause and effect! Well, what my father means is to make you, a guy with excellent military literacy and loyal to me, into an army hero of the Falling Wind Empire, and then arrange for you to enter the army to enhance the influence of the royal family. This is part of my father's plan to regain military power."
Yang Wei immediately fell into thought.
"This matter should be sooner rather than later," Edwang said, "While the Imperial fleet is around, those old guys in the military dare not make a move, we must complete the preliminary layout and take the initiative."
Yang Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.
His dark moves with the old emperor, and his control over Gutun Maha, have come into play.
And two
It had a wonderful chemical reaction.
"I don't like to show my face," Yang said, "although it maximizes my interests, but ...... Tsk, I'm not ready to be a star."
Edwan stood up, his hands in his trouser pockets, "Isn't this the best opportunity? You just have to lie here and now no one will recognize who you are. I'll arrange for a photographer to shoot outside the ward, and then I just need to post your picture."
Yang Wei hesitated slightly: "You arrange it, it's in my interest."
Yang Wei said this one second ago, and Edwang rushed out of the ward in the next second, shouting to the cronies guarding in the distance:
"Let them in! The patient's family has agreed!"
Yang Wei: ......
He knew it!
If he refuses, Edwang will definitely grind until he agrees.
……
The process of the reporter's interview was very simple, just a few simple "bed photos" were taken from afar.
After these reporters left, a large number of mechanical guards appeared outside Yang Wei's ward.
A few hours later, Luofeng's major TV stations and online public opinion platforms began to hype up the "miraculous surviving captain".
Yang Wei thought about it carefully.
In fact, this hype has a deep political meaning, and Adwang did not tell him directly.
Yang Wei, the attacker, is the best proof that the new federal agents carried out assassination activities, and if he is alive and made up as a hero of the army, the new federation will be in the passive position of public opinion.
This news continued to ferment, and Yang Weiming's exploits were exaggerated tenfold for publicity.
At the same time, Edwan gave a speech that had a profound impact on the Falling Wind Empire.
In this speech, Edwan said a simple phrase "New Federal Empire", which began to spread widely in the galaxy and made Edwan famous.
Of course, these are not directly related to Yang Wei for the time being.
Now Yang Wei must lie in bed and pretend to be sick, according to a minimum one-month recovery period to "recover" from his injuries, and in the first week, he has to pretend to be unconscious and unable to move in front of people.
Presumably, that's the price of being a hero.
In the following week, Yang Wei lay there bored every day to eat, sleep, and sleep, and all medical-related work was completed by the medical robot controlled by the law.
In addition to chatting with Ritsu, Yang Wei can only watch the movies that Ritsu puts on the ceiling boringly.
Very serious movie.
Miss Windsor would show up for an hour every day and be called back by her father, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Yang Wei felt guilty about this, and decided to have more couple-to-side interactions with Windsor after he returned to normal.
A week later, Yang was able to start his activities.
The TV reporter came again, making the headlines of the day with the video of Yang Wei being able to sit up and be fed by a medical robot.
Although Yang Wei has not contributed much to this country, now his life safety has touched the nerves of many people in the Falling Wind Empire.
After another week, Yang Wei was able to walk on the ground, and all the bandages on his body were unfastened.
He looked the same as before, which made Windsor constantly marvel at the magic of medical technology.
In the past half month, the external environment of the Falling Wind Empire has been turbulent, and the confrontation between the fleets of the Sherman Empire and the New Federation has not ended, and the two sides have sent additional supply fleets.
Sentiment for war in the Sherman Empire was at an all-time high;
Politicians in the new federation have also used the threat of the Sherman Empire to consolidate their votes and cover up their own scandals.
Within the Luofeng Empire, there was some turmoil in the military and political circles, and the old emperor, who had been silent for nearly ten years, suddenly began to go to court intensively.
Several ministers retired early, and the nobles in the prime of life appeared in prominent positions.
There are a number of young Zhuang factions in the army who have been promoted by the royal family, and the military top brass does not dare to make a voice at this juncture, so they can only let go of some inconsequential positions.
The internal political situation of the Falling Wind Empire was turbulent, and the three princes and the eldest prince had contact with military dignitaries respectively.
The military's seemingly stable high-level camp also showed signs of disintegration after the abnormality of Gutun Maha.
Just over halfway through the third week......
Yang Wei couldn't stay in the hospital anymore.
It's not because Windsor, a beauty, wanders around all day long, which makes him itchy and unbearable, and because of his "illness", he can't do it.
Mainly......
Kolev and Li's little doppelganger are about to return with a planetary transformation system worth 128 billion new federal coins, and Yang Wei must make some preparations to respond.
Yang Wei packed up the bed and put on a military uniform and hat.
Ritsu controls the robot to take away the bedding and incinerate it later to remove the biological information that Yang Wei may have left behind.
"It's time to leave."
Yang Wei looked at the ward.
He didn't expect that he had been coming to Yin Landoxing for so long and slept the most in the negative pressure ward of the hospital.
Turn around, take your hands, step on the ground with your military boots, and walk forward slowly.
The doctors and patients in the hallway stepped down to the left and right, and saluted the young officer.
At the end of the corridor was the lobby of the hospital, where two rows of soldiers stood, and when Yang Wei appeared, the eyes of these soldiers flashed with a burning light.
Obviously, they all believed the news on TV.
"Salute!"
Swish!
The soldiers and officers shook their hands in salute.
Yang Wei nodded with a smile and returned the salute with a sense of strength.
General Felimon led the soldiers around him forward, and in the tray the soldiers held were military ID cards and new epaulettes; General Felimon personally buttoned the epaulettes for Yang Wei and patted Yang Wei on the shoulder.
The surrounding cameras immediately captured the scene.
"Welcome home."
General Felimon said slowly:
"Major Yang Wei."
