Tales of Soldier - Chapter 29

[Chapter 29]

Tang Long originally watched the robot’s mineral refining process seriously, hoping to steal the master, but after seeing the robot put the minerals into a box, he ignored it, and instead kept fiddling with various items on the refining machine. button. After watching it for a while, I lost interest. Although I also asked the principle, how could Tang Long listen to those chemical equations, so he simply slept aside.

When Tang Long woke up, he saw that the robot was still busy in front of the instrument. Knowing that it had not been refined yet, he ate some edible mushroom snacks indiscriminately. After drinking a few sips of water from the machine that was constantly producing fresh water, he began to wander around bored.

Tang Long accidentally saw the projector that was broken by himself, so he tried to fix it and was ready to watch the news. The robot saw that Tang Long was fiddling with a few more threads on himself, and couldn’t help asking, “What is this? Does it also need electricity?”

“This is a video projector, you can see the news outside.” After Tang Long connected the line without raising his head, he pressed the switch, and the image appeared on the snow-white wall again.

Seeing the image, the robot couldn’t help saying excitedly, “It turns out to be such an interesting thing.” The robot had been paying attention secretly when Tang Long started maintenance. Now, although he doesn’t understand why this thing can reflect the image of a human being, But he already knew the manufacturing process.

Tang Long was stunned when he saw the words “Top-secret inside story of heroic incident exposed, reported by novelist private TV” appeared on the screen. What is the inside story of heroic incident? Tang Long, who was guessing, saw the screen change and was busy watching.

I saw the subtitles slowly disappear, and first a scene in the living room appeared, with the cosmic calendar July 15, 3433 displayed on the top of the screen. Seeing this time, Tang Long knew that it was after he was imprisoned in this underground mine.

Then a man in a suit and sitting on a sofa appeared on the screen, whose face was manipulated so it was impossible to tell who it was. At this time, a person who could only see the back of him said in a flattering tone: “Yes, this is because the subordinate has not considered it carefully. But please rest assured, sir, including Tang Long’s original company, all insiders are not locked up. The second lieutenants who were not selected for special training, although they may not remember who Tang Long is, but just in case, I also tried to transfer them to the front line and isolate them from the outside world. Contact. As long as there is a war, they will be the first, and no one can prove that the son is not Tang Long.”

Hearing this, Tang Long was shocked. The two people in this TV are the main characters who seek their own achievements? Although I wanted to curse, I held back my anger and listened carefully to the next conversation.

After hearing this, the arrogant man snorted coldly and said in an indifferent tone: “All the insiders? Humph, those two instructors who trained them, and those who maintained that battleship during the training period. The logistics staff, where are all these? Do you think it would be useful to lock up the real Tang Long and his subordinates?”

Tang Long clenched his fists tightly. He had long thought that he and his subordinates were locked up, not to wait for interrogation, but for this purpose. Now that he heard that even the instructors and logisticians who trained him were going to be murdered, the resentment that had swelled up in his heart was even stronger.

In the past, people like the captain of his company, Shen Ri, embarrassed themselves. It can be said that they offended them, and it is normal for them to take revenge. But now, just to let the son of the high official take his credit, he actually flouted the law so boldly, which made Tang Long truly feel the darkness of the army and the terror of power.

Tang Long understood that all this was due to the fact that he had received too much credit. If his credit is rewarded according to normal military regulations, he can definitely be promoted to colonel or above. With the support of a high-ranking official like his father, the kid who invaded his own achievements could be promoted to major general, from a second lieutenant to a major general, how many steps did he jump in the middle? Originally, no one dared to occupy such a huge credit, but only my own ship survived the battlefield, and communication was cut off during the war. Except for myself, no one knew who the highest credit was. One of the reasons for the occupation of merit.

And the real reason why they dared to seize the merits was that the entire federal army was under their firm control. For example, when they got off the spaceship, they were immediately escorted to the prison by the military police, and then all news was blocked, so that the son of the high-ranking official appeared. How many pairs of eyes are watching here, but no one has come out to correct it at all. It shows that whether it is the military police, the warden or the commander of the base, these people are all with the high official.

Although Tang Long was extremely angry, he still forcibly endured it and continued to watch. The man who only saw his back, after the seated man spoke, hurriedly bent over and said, “Sir, don’t worry, I’ll go and get these things done right away.”

“Hmph, I just wanted to do it now, is it too late? No, I have already asked the people below to handle it after I know what happened. I believe it’s done now.” The sitting person waved his hand and said.

At this time, the screen suddenly switched, and subtitles appeared. Seeing the subtitles, Tang Long’s whole body softened, and the displayed subtitles were:

At 0:00 on July 15, 3433 of the cosmic calendar, the bone dragon cloud galaxy is star, the military prison of the non-commissioned officers caught fire, the fire fighting system inexplicably failed, when the fire truck arrived, the fire was extinguished, the prisoners in the non-commissioned prison, the prison guards, and the warden were both men and women. 956 people, none survived. It is said that there are 14 non-commissioned officers who have just returned from the battlefield, 4 women and 10 men. At the same time, the warden’s wife confirmed that the warden, who did not have to go to work at night as a rule, was ordered to keep a vigil by his superiors that night. Afterwards, the gendarmerie searched for the criminals, and the case was allegedly carried out by imperial spies, but the spies were killed on the spot.

At 6:00 a.m. on July 15, 3433, the cosmic calendar, a group of military police entered a logistics officer dormitory on the grounds of performing official duties at an underground ship base in Shikexing, and then an explosion occurred on the 13th floor where the ship’s logistics personnel lived, and the entire floor was destroyed. All 53 people were killed. According to the investigation, this base is the maintenance and logistics point of the self-propelled gunboat. The 53 logistics officers and soldiers on the 13th floor were the logistics maintenance personnel of the self-propelled gunboat No. 521 before the border conflict.

At 4:22 p.m. on July 15, 3433, the cosmic calendar, Lieutenant Colonel Linasha and Major Qina, who were dispatched to the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy Corps as fighter instructors from a space team base in Shikexing, were transported by the transport ship. Malfunction, the spacecraft exploded and all members were killed. According to the officers and soldiers of the same team as the two officers, it is not reasonable to transfer the commander of the main team on the front line at this time, and it is also confirmed that the two officers are the instructors of the self-propelled gunboat.

When the news is broadcast here, there is no more, start playing the advertisement, and replay it after the preview advertisement. However, the news broadcast in just a few minutes caused a shock throughout the Federation.

While Tang Long was watching the news, the entire Federation also saw the show because of the novelty private TV station broadcasting a 5-minute commercial on all TV stations. The dialogue at the beginning of the video makes it easy to guess who the person sitting is, and the other one can also know his face after thinking about it. Who has the most power in Zukexing?

In an instant, all the people angrily yelled at the man whose son was called Don Tres. Soldiers from all over the country, especially the soldiers from Zukexing, ignored the gendarmes’ block and surrounded the Lieutenant General Soth’s headquarters and asked the lieutenant general to come out. Explanation, unfortunately, the result was that Lieutenant General Soth disappeared. When the Jikexing Military Region was about to start losing control, General Gu Ao visited the Jikexing in person. In addition to expressing his innocence and investigating immediately, he reminded the soldiers not to forget that this is the front line and to always be vigilant against the enemy’s attack. soldiers return.

And those congressional candidates who were originally under the pressure of military spokespersons rushed to seize this good opportunity to run out and slammed their competitors who had left them far away. The novelty private TV station, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately broadcasted the interview column of the family members of the soldiers who received the notice of accidental death immediately after the rebroadcast. In the face of these family members crying out: Severely punish the murderer! The public’s favorable opinion of the army dropped sharply, and these army spokespersons were immediately abandoned by the people.

In just a short while, there was a wave of calls for punishing shameless soldiers across the country. President Namha, who received the news, immediately jumped out and said that he would organize a temporary review meeting to investigate the incident. Namha, who appeared in the image of justice, immediately rose in support, and Chen Yu also stood up at this moment to show his support for the former president.

In a mansion in Tronxing, the capital of Wanluo Federation, Chen Yu quietly watched the appearance of Namha saliva splashing on the screen with a wine glass, and couldn’t help but smile.

He stood up for fame, but Namha thought he was on his side. Although Namha’s approval rating has been far away from himself, there is no need to worry about it. There are still two weeks before the real general election. As long as he throws out the evidence he has, Namha will not say he will become president, and I am afraid he will spend the next half of his life in prison.

Chen Yu shook the wine glass in his hand and said to himself, “Strange, who concocted that news? Novelty TV said that it received an anonymous letter. According to the investigation, this is true, but why can’t my intelligence network find it? Who sent it? It’s obvious that Soth did it, because it’s impossible to install a camera in his house and he wouldn’t know. But why did he do it? Isn’t he Muenres’ confidant?”

Of course Chen Yu knew of Muenres’s credit for occupying Tang Long, but for his own career, he didn’t want to have a conflict with the general who held a heavy army. Chen Yu also knew that the discerning people in the army had seen the details of Muenres early in the morning, who was Tang Tres, and the people inside did not know clearly. That bastard can’t even use a gun, can command a battleship to a huge victory? Some people still believe that kittens can give birth to mice. However, these people also did not dismantle him for various reasons. Anyway, this kind of thing encroaching on the merits of subordinates is not uncommon and common everywhere. It must be the enemy of Muenreis who did this, but this enemy of Muenreis seems to have been prepared a long time ago.

Thinking of this Chen Yu shivered suddenly, a figure appeared in his heart: “Could it be him…”

At this time, the Marshal’s House. Soth stood respectfully beside Olmsted, watching the TV screen showing demonstrations from all over the world. He said to Olmsted: “Your Excellency Marshal, everything is as you expected, Muenres’ reputation has plummeted, and he will definitely not be able to turn over this time.”

Olmsted did not answer the call immediately, but pressed the button to switch to the Southern Galaxy TV station. After watching it, he said slowly, “It’s very dangerous.”

“Very dangerous?” Soth was confused, not knowing what the marshal was referring to.

Olmsted pointed to the screen and said, “Did you see that, the TV stations in the three southern galaxies did not report the news, and even if there were, they simply said a few unclear words. According to the intelligence, the news was When it was broadcast, the press in the three southern galaxies began to control the airwaves, so that the people there could not watch the programs of other galaxies. Not only the official, but also the private TV station. Moreover, the officers of the Reis faction kept silent, you Are you saying it’s not dangerous?”

Soth broke out in cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice, “Could it be that Muenres dares to riot with his troops?”

Olmsted still said in a slow tone: “It is very possible that although the Reis faction is not the first faction, his faction is very united, especially the Reis station, which is not only where he was born and raised. , is also the place where he made his fortune, where the consuls of the galaxy planets are all his people.”

“Sir, quickly order the cosmic port to be blocked, let me take the military police to capture Muenres, and let him escape from the capital, it will definitely return the tiger to the mountain! The federation will be divided!” Soth said nervously, he finished speaking Pick up the phone and prepare to call the gendarmerie.

“Pfft.” A dazzling laser flashed across the room, and a small hole the size of a finger appeared between Soth’s eyebrows, and blood slowly came out. Soth stared in disbelief, staring blankly at the laser gun in Olmsted’s hand. With a snap, Soth fell silently.

Olmsted came to Soth and squatted down, quietly looking at Soth’s last face. At this moment, Olmsted’s eyes showed a look of sadness and pain. After a long time, Olmsted sighed and said to himself in a low voice: “Unfortunately, although you swore allegiance to me, the object of your true loyalty is this Wanluo Federation.”

He closed Soth’s eyes with his hands, stood up and said coldly, “Throw it into the melting furnace.” The voice fell, and a certain wall in the hall opened silently. A soldier wearing a gas mask could not see his appearance, hurry up. He walked to Soth and grabbed it with one hand. The body weighing more than 100 pounds was easily caught. The soldier turned around without a word and entered the place where he came out. At this time, the soldier can be seen wearing a pair of black leather gloves. Under the light, between the gloves and the wrist, there is occasionally a trace of metal light.

At this time, a private spaceship in the spaceport was flying off the ground. In the cabin, two people in thick windbreakers finally took off their clothes in relief when they saw the spaceship taking off. It was the Muenres father and son.

Dan Tres asked uncertainly: “Dad, what should we do? Will we go to court martial?”

“Hmph, as long as I return to the station, who would dare to send us to a military court?” Olmsted took out a bottle of wine, bit the cork with his mouth, and took a few sips.

Don Tres still asked worriedly: “But if the federal government and the military issue a wanted notice at the same time, will those people send us back?”

“Don’t worry, those guys dare to want me, and I will bring the army to rebel! All the government officials of the three southern galaxies are ours, and all the army generals are all drawn up by me. They will not betray me. And the federation is in harmony with The empire is hostile, and the federal government does not dare to take the risk of civil strife to offend me. Damn, it’s better to be my hometown, I know all the people in the capital are ungrateful guys, that bastard Soth dares to come to me, I must I won’t let him go!” After reading the news, Muenres’ first reaction was that Soth betrayed him.

“Dad, who do you think is behind the scenes? Soth shouldn’t be so bold, right?”

“Damn, it’s not Zhang Junlong, Mujiet or Olmsted, who else dares to oppose me except these three! I’ve found out I must make him look good!” Muenres scolded angrily.

Dan Tres didn’t answer. He knew that he was no longer in danger, and his mind was not on this aspect. Now he is very sorry for the few school girls who have never met. “Damn, I originally wanted to enjoy the taste of the women in the capital, but I didn’t expect to go home without even seeing it. Terence, I will definitely come back!” Dan Tres secretly said. scolded.

The crowd of the Wanluo Federation, which was very lively, suddenly fell silent, because the marshal of the Federation army was going to hold a press conference on the heroic event. At a time when the army’s reputation was plummeting, the marshal, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up. Not only did the people gather around the TV, but even the four-star generals in the army, down to the privates, were quietly waiting for the marshal’s speech. Reporters from the entire federation and some neighboring countries have sharpened their heads to try to participate in the press conference.

Namha held back his anger and sat beside the TV. Before his review meeting was formed, the army commander ran out to speak. Isn’t he on his side? Why come to steal your limelight? Although Namha was angry that Olmsted came out to express his opinion without speaking to him, he couldn’t help it, because he was only a presidential candidate now, and this incident should also be regarded as a matter of the military, the top military officer— – Marshal, it is reasonable to come out and express an opinion.

After a while, Olmsted’s resolute face and sturdy body appeared on the podium with the words of the Federal Army. After he stood still, he glanced at the camera with his eyes, and his sharp eyes made the viewers watch The hearts of the people and the officers jumped.

Olmsted saw that the reporters in the audience were holding their hands high, he pressed his hand down, and said in a deep voice: “Before asking questions, please observe a minute’s silence for our heroic soldiers.” Hearing this, the reporter They all put their hands down and closed their eyes, they didn’t want to offend the people and soldiers of the Commonwealth.

Everyone thought it was a moment of silence for the soldiers who were killed, but after Olmsted opened his eyes and spoke, everyone was stunned. Olmsted said: “This heroic soldier is Lieutenant General Soth, the commander of the Skeleton Military Region of the Skeleton Dragon Galaxy.”

After everyone woke up, there was a lot of discussion. The people watching the TV outside immediately yelled, and the officers and soldiers watched the TV blankly. Brave soldier? Soth, he is a guy who is in trouble with Muenreis, and he is ignorant of people’s lives. Has the marshal lost his head? At this moment, you want everyone to mourn for such a person? Everyone forgot to think about how Soth died.

Immediately, a reporter stood up angrily and said, “Your Excellency Marshal, is Lieutenant General Soth worthy of the word heroic? Is he worthy of our silence?”

Olmsted nodded and said word by word, “He deserves it!” As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar, and the bright-headed reporter was already thinking about waiting for the headlines of the news.

The reporter who stood up and questioned wanted to ask, but he suddenly found several soldiers standing behind the marshal, and there were two beautiful female officers among them. This scene made him forget to ask.

Olmsted looked at the camera and said, “Maybe you will ask why I say Lieutenant General Soth is a heroic soldier, and the answer lies in these soldiers. Please introduce yourself.” Olmsted said and walked aside, Expose those soldiers to the camera.

I saw a middle-aged colonel standing at the front of the queue, stepped forward and saluted to the camera, saying, “Zhi Kexing Sergeant Military Prison Warden—Colonel Kara!” After he went down, the beautiful female officer next to him came forward and saluted Said: “Captain of the First Squadron of Zikexing Flight – Lieutenant Colonel Linasha.”

After she went down, the people in the back stepped forward to report their identity in turn: “Squad leader of the first squadron of the flight of the skeleton – Major Qina.” “The 34th logistics team captain of the Kekexing logistics base – Wright Sergeant “”No. 521 self-propelled gunboat torpedoman – Sergeant Liu Sihao”

Few of these names were known a few days ago, but now almost everyone has heard of them. After hearing this, everyone looked at the people on the screen in stunned eyes. Aren’t they all dead? Why is it still alive?

At this time, Olmsted walked back to the podium and said calmly: “Everyone has seen the news a few days ago, and I believe they already know who they are. I can tell you that the accident shown in the back of the news did happen. But unlike what was reported, there were no casualties in any of the three incidents.”

The people below were stunned, and upon hearing this, the distraught family members immediately cheered. The reporter on the field was the first to react to the person who asked the question first: “Your Excellency Marshal, are these people surviving because of Lieutenant General Soth?”

Olmstal nodded: “Yes, the news that everyone is watching was also filmed by Lieutenant General Soth. Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Soth only had time to hand over the rescued people to me, and was…” Speaking of which, Austrian Muster closed his eyes and shook his head painfully.

When the people and soldiers saw this, they immediately yelled at him again, but this time it was not the marshal. Although the marshal did not say it directly, everyone knew that Soth was killed by Muenres.

The reactions of journalists and the public are different. They don’t care much about things that know the result as soon as they think about it. They pursue more important news. So a reporter stood up to show his respect for Soth and asked, “Why didn’t Lieutenant General Soth tell that person when he first knew about it, but to be sneaky? Oh, sorry, please forgive me for using the word.”

Olmsted did not answer directly: “If you were that person, would you be wary of Lieutenant General Soth?”

After the reporter got the answer, he immediately asked another question: “Even if that person is higher than him, but Lieutenant General Soth does not belong to his defense area, so he can not play for him, why…” Olmsted interrupted.

“Federal military regulations stipulate that a four-star general has the power to issue orders to any federal soldier, and those who violate the order can be punished.” Olmsted’s indifferent sentence exposed the power of the four-star general.

At this time, a reporter stood up and said, “Sorry, Your Excellency Marshal, please allow me to interrupt. I am a reporter from the Republic of Rice. I think there is something wrong with your country’s military system.” This shocked everyone. The reporters present knew that this was interference in other countries’ internal affairs.

The foreign reporter didn’t wait for Olmsted to agree, he continued to speak directly: “Our military system is basically the same as yours, but the officers of each defense zone can only give orders to the soldiers under their command. The power to order the soldiers in other defense zones, and the only ones who have the right to give orders to all the soldiers, are only the highest commanders of the army – the president and the marshal. Logically speaking, the only one who can give orders to all the soldiers in your country is one of the highest commanders of the army of your country. Your Excellency the Marshal. Of course, I am not asking your country to be the same as our country, but if your country can reduce the power of the officers in various defense areas, then such a thing will not happen. Please forgive the words below, I do not want to interfere with your country. Domestic affairs, I just feel unhappy.” After speaking, he bowed and sat down.

The words of the foreign reporters were transmitted to the entire Wanluo Federation by the camera, and all the people and ordinary soldiers suddenly realized that such a thing happened because the power of a four-star general under one person was too great! And those smart senior officers immediately thought that there would be a major earthquake in the military world.

Olmsted did not say a word. A foreigner raised a question about the military system of the Federation. As a federal marshal, could he respond? Don’t talk about reconciliation, don’t even talk, or you will be considered to be discussing internal affairs with foreign countries.

At this time, a reporter stood up and said loudly: “I am a legal citizen of the Wanluo Federation with the right to vote. I demand that the military regulations that a four-star general in the federal army have the right to order any federal soldier should be changed to except the highest commander of the federal army. , no one can order other soldiers across the district!” The people watching the TV immediately shouted, all agreeing with the reporter’s words, they don’t want such a thing to happen again.

Citizens of this country have the right to say that, so Olmsted smiled and said, “Sorry, this is something the government should discuss. The military cannot participate in politics.”

The reporter nodded hurriedly and said, “Sorry, I’m excited at the next moment, and I will propose it to the councillors in my district.” Those councillor candidates who paused canvassing and watched in front of the TV knew that the reporter’s words were the voice of the public. Of course, I also know how I should go to vote next time.

The reporter did not sit down, but continued to ask: “Your Excellency Marshal, there are both evidence and witnesses now. I don’t know how Your Excellency Marshal will deal with that person? According to the military regulations, this should be handled immediately by the Marshal’s authority, right?”

When the officer who was familiar with the inside story heard the reporter’s words, he could not help but shake his head with a wry smile. The military regulations stipulate that the top commander can indeed deal with all officers, including four-star generals, if the evidence is conclusive. Factions can appear in the army, and after government officials and financial groups join these factions, a four-star general who serves as a faction-minded general is not something that a marshal can handle alone. It’s okay if outsiders don’t know, as a reporter, don’t even know this? Wouldn’t that make it difficult for the marshal to put it up on this live broadcast occasion?

The senior officers originally thought that the marshal would find some excuses to dodge it, but they did not expect that after hearing the reporter’s words, Olmsted glanced at everyone indifferently, nodded and said, “Moenres is a four-star general. , for their own personal gain, encroaching on the merits of the soldiers, and sending relatives to replace them. In order to prevent the exposure of the matter, and then kill people to silence them. His actions seriously damaged the reputation of the federal soldiers, not only violated the military law, but also violated the federal constitution! Now I use Wanluo Federation The identity of the army marshal announced the punishment of the four-star general of Muenreis: all his military posts and his military qualifications will be removed. He will be arrested and sent to the Federal Supreme Court for trial!” Olmsted finished. A military salute left.

Hearing the Marshal’s words, the reporters froze for a moment before applauding and sending Olmsted off. All the veteran reporters smiled helplessly, while the reporters from the Southern Galaxy sneered to themselves. Everyone inside knew about Muenres fleeing back to the south. Anyone who knows the inside story is very clear that even if Muenres is not a soldier now, the military power of the 100,000 warships in the south is still firmly in his hands. Who can catch him and escort him back to the capital for trial? Even if you don’t mention these armies, the military police, police, and spies in the south, I am afraid that no one will follow the order to arrest Muenres, and there are a lot of people who follow Muenres’s order to be on guard in various galaxies.

The southern wooden plow galaxy Haus star of Wanluo Federation is the capital of the galaxy.

“Damn! This bastard, how dare you revoke my military rank and military qualifications? I will wait for you to catch me!” Muenres, who was drinking, threw the bottle at Olmsted’s three-dimensional image. . The only projector in the entire southern galaxy that had not been screened out to receive the federal capital’s television signal was scrapped.

“Dad, Olmsted really wanted us, what should we do?” Dan Tres asked tremblingly. He listened to his father on the boat from which he had escaped, and was not afraid of being wanted. But come back and think about it, my faction only has 100,000 warships, while the Federation has 400,000 warships, and the strength is not comparable.

As for saying that the Federation and the Empire are hostile, but the Empire just fought a border conflict and never came. The high-level battleships of all factions, including their own, are concentrated in Zikexing, and they will be firmly controlled by the Federation after Soth’s death. Even if Soth is not dead, I am afraid it will be the same. This powerful combat power is enough to withstand the invasion of 100,000 warships of the Empire. How can these 100,000 warships resist the 400,000 warships that the Federation can mobilize at any time? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. When he heard that he was really wanted, he began to panic.

When Muenres heard this, he immediately roared at his son: “What’s the panic! It’s not you, how can you do so much! Shut up and stand up for me!” Dan Tres was terrified by his father’s appearance. For a moment, obediently closed his mouth and stood still.

Muenres scolded as he walked: “Fuck! Olmster, you bastard, Soth turned out to be your man. You are amazing, arrange everything early and let me jump into the trap.”

Don Tres was shocked: “What? You said that Olmsted did all this?”
