Chapter 1075: The Smoke of Congress (Part 1)

This unremarkable maglev car didn't make a turn, and drove until the entrance of the Capitol, not far from the Reinhardt Palace, before stopping. The door of the driver's cab opened, and an old man came down from above. At the same time, the door of the rear compartment also opened, and an old man got out of it. It's just that the old man in front looks very healthy, while the old man in the back is older, wearing a loose robe and holding a cane in his right hand.

This maglev car came from the southern suburbs of Greenwich. The person who dismounted in the front was of course Old Watt, and the person behind was Terry Ferdinand, a Republican veteran who had given up his status as a congressman and had been at home for many days.

Old Watt's mental outlook has not changed much since Tang Fang's visit to Greenwich. Terry Ferdinand's condition is very bad, and he has lost a lot of weight compared to before. There, his arms and legs were trembling slightly, as if a gust of wind would knock him down.

After holding on to the car door to get out, he waved to Old Watt, thanked him for his help, and stubbornly leaned on the crutch to walk to the hall.

He walked very slowly, but the sound of the crutches hitting the ground was very powerful. Maybe it was to tell others that he was coming, but it was more likely because he had a lot of anger and needed a place to vent, so the smooth ground became that Bad luck.

Old Watt walked behind him, his face tensed, and he didn't say a word the whole time.

The government agent in charge of the security task of the Capitol was surprised what happened to the old gentleman who was on leave due to illness today, and suddenly remembered that he was going back to the Capitol, could it be to see those old friends?

Ms. Mei Lin, who has been performing reception duties at the door for many years, is considered to be acquaintances with Congressman Terry. Seeing this respected old Republican man coming, she plans to go up and exchange a few words, and make friends. However, just after coming out from behind the counter, he glanced at the expression on the old man's face and couldn't help shrinking back.

Old politicians like Terry Ferdinand, Tom Linsendale, and Lu Yuankui have seen many storms and waves, and experienced many ups and downs in officialdom. Worry and anxiety will definitely not make this face a barometer.

But today's Terry Ferdinand is different from before. As long as he is not blind or foolish, he can clearly see the anger on that face. Even the always amiable old Watt is cold, making people feel no warmth, as if Everyone in the world owed him a lot of money.

No one dared to provoke those two people, the sound of crutches hitting the floor echoed endlessly in the lobby, boom, boom, boom... It was so dull and depressing.

Mei Lin showed a thoughtful look, thinking that something big must have happened. Otherwise, how could this old man who put down his government affairs and went home to recuperate from his illness raid the Capitol. There are rumors from the outside world that he has an incurable terminal illness,

Since his life is not long, maybe one day he will lose his braids. That being the case, as a person who is about to meet the god of death, he should make his last days more relaxed and comfortable, so why worry about work matters. To make Terry Ferdinand so angry, something must have happened... Is it an emergency on the front line? Dortmund tragedy repeat?

These thoughts circled in her mind, and Mei Lin waved to the agents at the door, gesturing them to continue their mission, then picked up the telephone receiver at hand, and told the people who were meeting in the auditorium above about Terry Ferdinand's arrival.

Old Watt did not follow Terry Ferdinand into the conference room, but chose to wait in the rest area outside. The parliament sent a female staff member with gold-rimmed glasses to entertain him, but even so, his tense face could not be relieved, and he was still indifferent to everything, even the smiling face of a beautiful girl.

In that small conference room, Terry Ferdinand was sitting in the innermost part, next to several Republican congressmen, the shock on his face hadn't faded, and he looked like he had just learned some important secret.

Lu Yuankui was sitting not far from Terry Ferdinand. He was clearly near the air outlet of the air-conditioning system, but the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop pouring out. His eyes flickered as he looked at the old man on the other side of the conference table. As if he had done something wrong, he dared not raise his face to meet people.

After Terry Ferdinand retired to the second line in the name of recuperation, Lu Yuankui and another old Republican, Larry Cook, became the leaders of the Republican Party in Congress. If Adam's government makes some sensitive moves, he and Larry Cook should be the first to know. But he didn't know about it at all... At least Lu Yuankui said he didn't know when confronted by Terry Ferdinand. He never thought that the Adam government and the Liberal Party would do such a horrific trick.

Is he really unaware? Or do you know not to report? Choose to turn a blind eye? Or get involved too? No one knows, only he himself knows the real situation.

When Terry Ferdinand coughed violently for the third time, and some people around looked very worried, the door of the conference room opened. Members of the Liberal Party, current Speaker Peggy Gasol, Tomlinson Dale, Adam Oliver, Secretary of State Reese Aidinan, Defense Minister Rene Ismail and several other Liberal MPs Filed in.

Lu Yuankui looked at Tomlinson Dale, then at Adam Oliver, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word, he just sighed heavily, looking like he was not interested.

Terry Ferdinand didn't wait until Adam Oliver and the others sat down. He slammed the cane on the table and said angrily, "Who told you to do this? Who allowed you to do this? Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" No? Confused...really confused..."

He didn't know if Lu Yuankui, Larry Cook and others really didn't know the crimes committed by the Adam government against Tang Fang. The Legion made a deal and set up such a trap to frame Tang Fang. Because of Nakamura Mie's sacrifice, as well as his hard work and sincerity, Tang Fang was moved and chose to join the Star Alliance to fight side by side with the weakest country in the Hillenbel region, and deal a blow to the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire. And helped the Covenant Navy win several victories, and for the first time made the people feel standing up and gaining dignity.

Every patriot is encouraged and rejoiced by this. They are glad that the Star Alliance has a strong partner, and they are glad that the young man who is suspected to be a descendant of the Epsilon chooses to stand on his side and become a compatriot under the national flag.

But what about the result? The Star Alliance betrayed its allies, ignoring Captain Tang's kindness, ignoring his dedication, ignoring many Star Alliance members like Mie Nakamura who moved Tang Fang, and choosing to join forces with the dark forces like the Anubis Legion.

If the death of Dalton Evelyn hadn't revealed the failure of the war, causing the Liberal Party and patriots like David Conan to be confused, he might still be buried in the dark, thinking about how to escape in his dilapidated villa. Over the old Watt's sight, drink a few more sips of wine, even if you pay the price of your life for it. In short, if you can find such a friend for the Star Alliance, even if you die, you will still be smiling.

After learning about this incident through a special channel, he almost died of anger. Fortunately, his old friend and personal doctor Wade arrived in time, so there was no danger of his life. The reason why Old Watt put on the expression that people all over the world owed him money was not to be angry with the Adam government, but to be angry with him.

As a person whose skull has been buried in the loess, he is still angry at the stupidity of those people on the stage, even in the last stage of his life, he still puts the national interest first. This kind of character of his killed his son, let his wife die in depression, and now it almost killed himself. When will he be able to live for himself?

To Old Watt's loud questioning, or protest, Terry Ferdinand's answer was, "Old man, don't be so excited, I believe that day is not far away."

The day when he lives for himself is not far away? As the person who knew Mr. Congressman best, Old Watt understood what he was talking about, so he said nothing, his eyes that were no longer bright were slightly red.

Tomlinson Dale and others didn't know what happened to Terry Ferdinand, so they chose to remain silent in the face of his questioning. They are not surprised that Terry Ferdinand will soon know what happened in the Gambis star system, and ask this question, because to a certain extent, the old man opposite is Tang Fang's agent and hardcore in the Star Alliance government. supporter.

He was the one who facilitated the trade cooperation between Morning Star Foundry and the Star Alliance Navy, and he was the one who facilitated Tang Fang's entry into the National Security Council as an honorary advisor. It can be said that without Terry Ferdinand, Tang Fang would not have joined the Star Alliance nationality, and there would be no subsequent victories against the Monya Empire and the Sulu Empire. He is the one in politics with the most reason to be angry and to hold Adam's government accountable.

Adam Oliver clenched his hand on the table and let it go, clenched it again, let it go again, and finally raised his head, not hiding his angry eyes, and said slowly: "If you give me another choice Given the chance, I would make the same decision. As for the consequences... I know it well."

"No, you don't know." Terry Ferdinand looked very angry, and continued to hit the table with his not-so-high-end crutch.

Tomlinson Dale still remembers when they were still young, when Terry Ferdinand threw a stool at someone because of a bill targeting illegal immigration. I can't move the chair, so I can only smash the table with the broken piece of wood. It looks a little ridiculous, but apart from being ridiculous, it makes people miss the original time. Such an old Terry...how long can he live?

"We understand your feelings, and we know how much effort you have put in to get Tang Fang to join the Star Alliance." Peggy Gasol said, "But we have no choice... for this country."

"For this country?" Terry Ferdinand looked at the speaker who was a few years younger than him and said, "I know you have looked down on Tang Fang from the very beginning... No, it should be said that you have looked down on Tang Fang from the day you became a member of parliament. Those people with black eyes and dark skin, it's just that you have always been good at concealing your narrow nationalism, and I'm skeptical of your position on Tang Fang's matter...Your Excellency, Liar King."

Peggy Gasol used to be the local governor of Alxa Planet before becoming the speaker. In his speech before being officially elected, he once boasted that he would turn Alxa Planet into a planet comparable to the Cyber ​​Haier planet of the Dolanx Republic. A beautiful and rich planet. However, not only did he not turn Alxa into a beautiful and rich planet, but the economy of the area under his jurisdiction declined significantly, and the tourism development plan was stillborn. However, there is one thing worthy of praise. Under his iron-fisted governance, the crime rate of Alxa The sharp drop has given him a good reputation, and people have selectively ignored his original exaggeration.

After so many years, many people have forgotten what happened that year, but Terry Ferdinand did not forget, and still called him a big talker as he did when he became angry.

With Peggy Gasol's current status, it seems disrespectful to say such a thing, and it should not be. But no one objected to this. Firstly, the Liberal Party was wronged, and it can be said that it owed Terry Ferdinand a lot from personal feelings. Secondly, as a respected old MP, a relatively young politician like Adam Oliver should be courteous. point.

Tomlinson Dale stood up and said, "I know you are very angry now and feel that we have betrayed you, but you should not doubt Peggy Gasol's loyalty to the country and the people."

After saying this, he winked at Secretary of State Reis Adinan, and the handsome man walked from the back to a control terminal in the corner of the room, inserted the chip into the data interface, and pressed the play button.

A beam of blue fluorescent light is cast on the ceiling, interweaving into a holographic three-dimensional image in mid-air. The whole picture is divided into two parts. The content on the left comes from the space-based facilities of Dortmund. The deep diver fleet conducts orbital bombing, causing nuclear bombs to rain down on the surface, and the flames and explosions chaos the green planet. What follows is the tragic scene after the nuclear explosion crossed the border... The collapsed high-rise buildings, the fallen dead bodies, the black rain falling from the sky, and the bloody clothes fluttering in the wind.

The content on the right is the battle screen edited together with the war materials of the uninhabited land of Karilan-Rotonado and the uninhabited area of ​​Ayalos-Koplin-Slandal. You can hear the roar of the soldiers, like thunder cannons There was a sound, and the battleship could be seen turning into rapidly expanding flames in the darkness, tumbling away as cold corpses.

The nuclear explosion and the end of the war scene are the reaction of the Covenant society. On the one hand, there are the disappointed eyes of those who lost their loved ones, and on the other hand, the crowd on the street, waving the flag of the Covenant, clamoring to make the Monya Empire pay the price, and the Stewart family. The executioner is sent to the guillotine...not the gallows, but the guillotine. (To be continued.)
