Chapter 563: Two Requests
"Here's what you want."
The pda was handed over to Tang Fang, and the pink tulips were reflected in his pupils like a flame.
He stretched out his finger and swiped lightly on the touchpad, and the screen disappeared, replaced by a folder with a piece of video data stored in it.
I clicked on it casually, and when I saw the protagonists in the video, my eyes flashed, I looked up at Susan, and said doubtfully, "You are very smart... women are very smart."
What he said was very ambiguous, making people wonder if the so-called "smartness" refers to Susan's pretending to be deaf and dumb, or her planning for a rainy day, or her pure heart.
Susan said, "I disobeyed his orders."
Harrington Harris' originally unattractive face became even more gloomy.
He was calm when the power supply of the central unit was cut off, when Edison died, and when Tang Fang sent him on the road, he was still calm, but when he found out that Susan had lied to him, and everything was a lie and deceit, he could no longer be calm. It seems that he has changed from an old man who has experienced countless storms to a passionate and fragile young man.
He is wiser than those like Edison King and Piccolo Fred, but he is still a human being with weaknesses, reverse scales, and death spots---Susan.
Tang Fang defeated his army, but the person who never defeated him, only Susan, the person who was the least likely to betray him, "told" him at the last moment that all of this was deceit, all lies, and even chose Betrayed, violated his order and kept the evidence privately, and handed it to Tang Fang...Why? Why would she do this, obviously...
Harrington's thoughts were interrupted again, and he thought of a doubt. Tang Fang had already let her go, why did she come back? Still giving those evidences to the other party, do you want to make a deal? What is the content of the transaction? Do you beg the other party to spare your life?
He felt that there was a high possibility that this was the case. Although Susan had concealed some things, the feelings she had had over the years were not false. She has a reason and a motive for doing so.
He began to be happy and moved, and his anger and resentment towards her disappeared in an instant.
Tang Fang is not interested, nor does he care about the relationship between the two of them, he has two things in one mind. While testing Susan, she was thinking about other things.
The video data in the pda folder was exactly when Albert sent an envoy to discuss with Harrington Harris about the transaction concerning the attack on "Dilal".
This is a plan he suddenly thought of during the attack on "Mubarak",
Since the Star Alliance and the Pirate Alliance used the trick of borrowing a knife to kill people, there must have been a negotiation process between the two parties beforehand, and a smart person like Harrington would definitely record the meeting process. In case the Star Alliance goes back on its word, crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and takes action against the First Fleet of the Night Legion, this is evidence that the Star Alliance government is immoral, and it can also drive a wedge between "Morning Star Foundry" and them, so that Adam Oliver Lost and ruined.
Of course, if things go well, the First Fleet of the Evil Night Legion will return safely after completing its mission. Harrington should destroy this evidence, so as not to spread it out for various reasons in the future, and it will be known to the world as a dirty deal between the Empire and the Star Alliance. Who would dare to cooperate with the Sulu Empire in the future? Who dares to trust him? I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor will not be happy.
Tang Fang is well aware of this, but still has some illusions, hoping that Harrington has not had time to delete it, or temporarily forgets about the video... Unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted. After the First Fleet of the Night Army returned to "Mubarak". Those evidences were immediately deleted and destroyed.
However, he never thought that things would turn around. Susan copied a copy of the video data that should have been deleted, and took it out to herself at this time. It seems to want to talk about conditions.
If he wanted to give Harrington a break, it would be fine in terms of this video.
Because once the information is leaked, and the Eye army is wiped out, and "Mubarak" changes hands, Harrington Harris will inevitably lose power, and even be framed by domestic hostile forces for a trumped-up charge.
In fact, his death is far more meaningful than his life, at least he can preserve the interests of the family and his personal reputation.
Now it depends on what conditions Susan proposes next.
On the other hand, the content of the video material also surprised him a bit. He thought that the Star Alliance would send a prominent figure to do this, but he did not expect that the envoy was actually an old acquaintance of his, one of the board members of "Venus Pharmaceutical" Nguyen Dinh Van.
A businessman actually participated in the political game of the national power, this guy is really courageous enough.
At this moment, Emma forwarded a genealogy of Ruan Tingwen's clan, specifically marking the blood relationship between Ruan Tingwen's mother Lu Liping and Star Alliance member Lu Yuankui.
"It turns out that Lu Yuankui is his mother's uncle, in other words, his maternal uncle."
He suddenly realized that those old guys from the Star Alliance were indeed as cunning as foxes. Ruan Tingwen has both an official background and a background in "Venus Pharmaceutical". He came to support the envoys sent by Albert. First, he can show the attitude of the Star Alliance government. Second, he is not a member of the government, but an out-and-out Even if some unexpected situation occurs in the future and the matter is exposed, the conflict between "Venus Pharmaceutical" and "Morning Star Foundry" and the discord between the leaders of the two parties can be used to prevaricate and confuse the public, and weaken the image of the government. damage.
Even if things get serious, you can deal with a few people who have a certain reputation and power in the army as scapegoats. If it's not good enough, you can ask Councilor Lu Yuankui to go back and rest for a few days, just like the "Babylon" incident?
The people in the government are very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. It is similar to "most cadres are good, only a small number of people are dazzled by the temptation of money and women." Engage in investigations with the political circles, deal with a few people symbolically, and try to make the thunder louder and the rain less.
Things like "self-punishment three cups" can not only divert people's attention and anger, but also put aside the relationship between the government and officials who made mistakes, and save the face of Adam's government.
What's more, now that it has entered a wartime political mode, the state is shifting from focusing on people's livelihood to focusing on war, Adam Oliver's power has been expanded, and the state's control over the media is unprecedentedly strong. It is impossible to shake the ruling position of the Liberal Party simply by relying on small organizations like "Morning Star Foundry".
"It's really a good plan!" He couldn't help admiring in his heart. Then he narrowed his eyes slowly. The Evil Night Legion paid the due price for the attack on "Dilal", and the Star Alliance government must not be silent.
As for the Pirate Alliance. He was originally a dog, but he wanted to turn himself into a hunter...
He was thinking about a problem, and Susan had already walked in front of Harrington, looking at him with a complicated expression, and there was an indescribable light in her eyes, because it contained thousands of emotions.
She is grateful to him. Some admire him, some like him, some rely on him... She knows very well that it's called "love", but... she doesn't want to admit it. I don't want to admit it, and I can't admit it.
"In exchange, I have two requests."
Tang Fang was not surprised by her words, because this was a deal in itself.
Her eyes fell on the "Silver Knight", sometimes resentful, sometimes struggling, sometimes sad...
This kept him silent. Tang Lin, who was watching the development of the situation like a bystander, was slightly distracted, thinking that Susan must be very competent as an actor, and maybe she could win the "Kusomia Award".
When she is quiet, she is like a clear spring. It makes people feel at ease and peaceful, but when the mood fluctuates, it is like a colorful nebula in the night sky, with many colors and many lights.
As a woman in her 30s, although the beauty of her face is slowly passing by with time. But that kind of mature temperament and charm is impressive.
He is the same as Tang Fang. Looking at her beautiful eyebrows and eyes calmly, waiting for those two conditions.
"If you want to do it, please leave it to me."
This sentence was ambiguous and unpredictable, but in the next second, she interpreted the meaning of this sentence with actions.
She took the gun from Tang Fang's hand, then walked up to Harrington, pointed the gleaming muzzle at his heart, and said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. "
Tang Fang watched her take the gun from her hand, watched her walk in front of Harrington, pointed the gun at his heart, and heard her say "I'm sorry", suddenly he was a little confused and couldn't understand the two things. What is the relationship between people, why didn't she intercede with Harrington, obviously she had decided to let him go.
Harrington thought she was talking about pretending to be dumb, so he shook his head and said, "I'm very happy to die by your hands. I just hope you can live a good life."
"No." There were tears in Susan's eyes: "I will go with you...it's just not the time yet."
It was a strange feeling to Harrington that she was one and not the same as she was before.
"I'm sorry," she apologized again: "My name is not Susan, my name is Kyrenia, Kyrenia Swift."
The mute is fake, even the name is fake...
Harrington was not surprised, but a little excited, even if her face, her body, and everything about her were fake, as long as the tears in her eyes were real, that was enough.
"Actually... I really want to just be a dumb girl like this, the girl named 'Susan' in your eyes, but it's a pity..."
"I hesitated for many years, and regretted it for many years...I hated my weakness, but I was addicted to it...until today."
"In any case, I want to give those people a result and give myself a result."
"Dreams always wake up... the song ends, people go, Yan goes to the sky, I know there will be such a day sooner or later, I thought that I would die in front of you, leave this world without resentment, and I also thought that you would die In my hands, I don't know if you will feel pain."
"I struggled for a long time, it seemed as long as several lifetimes..."
"I like 'Aquias', I don't like the moon of 'Arumaika', I like to be with you, but I have to face those fates, those cruelties, those cruelties, I... really tired .”
She said a lot in one breath, as if she wanted to tell him all the things in her heart that she had not said for so many years. Tang Fang and Tang Lin seemed to be spectators, or witnesses.
Harrington raised his slightly trembling hand, stroked her cheek lightly, wiped away the tear that spilled from the corner of her eye with his thumb, and said with a smile: "No matter who you are, what purpose you have for coming to me, I don't care Blame you."
Kylenia said: "Remember 16 years ago..."
Looking at Harrington, Tang Fang felt for the first time that those people were fighting for power all day long. Politicians who engage in life-and-death struggles and calculations with each other also have feelings and a vulnerable side.
After listening to Kelenia's story, he finally understood why he saw Claire's shadow in her, even though the two were very different in appearance, body shape, temperament, and connotation.
That comes from experience. Or from fate.
16 years ago, Claire was 7 years old and Kyrenia was 15 years old. That year was a special year for the Monya Empire, because Kirklav Stewart ascended the throne in that year and became the Monya Emperor. It was also in that year that the Holy Judgment was launched against his elder brother Bart Phil Stewart, which created the Sosia Cleansing, and since then, Claire became an orphan.
certainly. It doesn't mean that Kyrenia is also Sosya's orphan. After the Holy Judgment, she still has parents, brothers and sisters. However, she has lost her former privileges and status.
Her father was a vice-admiral commander of the fleet under Butter Ferry's command. When the battle for the throne ended in Butter Ferry Stewart's defeat, he took advantage of the turmoil in the empire. When the princes were in panic, in order to save their lives, Butterfly led a secret fleet with those loyal subjects. From "Sosya" to the Jacob star system on the border of the Monya Empire, he intends to pass through the Sulu Empire, which he has a close relationship with, to relieve the worry of his life, and then plan a counterattack.
Kirklav Stewart, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, even ignored the provocations of the Charles Confederation in the "Gampner" region in order to secure the throne of the emperor, and devoted most of his troops to suppressing the princes' rebellion. And search for Butterfly's traces, and strive to remove all the factors that are enough to pose a threat to his rule.
After Butterfly arrives in the Jacob star system. It was discovered that his "good" brother had deployed a large number of troops on the border to prevent him from taking the Sulu Empire. Escape from Monya alive, and make trouble for himself in the future.
At that time, Harrington Harris had not yet become the controller of "Mubarak", but served as the commander of the border garrison fleet in the Ulises star system.
In order to escape from Monya safely, Butterfly got in touch with Harrington of "Ulises" through a secret channel. After some discussions, the two sides determined a combat plan called "Operation Flashpoint".
When the agreed time is reached, the Sulu Empire will dispatch 3 frontier defense fleets to launch a surprise attack on the border defenses of the Monya Empire, and make the illusion of being alone in depth, luring the defenders on the border of the Monya Empire to send troops to encircle and suppress them. Afterwards, Butterfly The hidden fleet will launch a lightning assault on the weak point of the border defense line of the Monya Empire due to the mobilization of troops, penetrate the entire defense line, join the Sulu Empire fleet led by Harrington himself, and leave safely.
The Sulu Empire rescued them at any cost, and "Operation Flashpoint" was recognized by most of the fleet commanders. After all, Kirklaf I never imagined that the Sulu Empire would spend such a high price to rescue a loser in a political struggle.
They are full of confidence in their future, because the old enemies of the Mongya Empire, the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic, are about to move, and they will gather troops on the border to launch a surprise attack when Kirkcraft I is not stable, and plan to completely subvert this cruel and inhumane kingdom. empire.
The Sulu Empire turned against Kirklaf I because of Butterfly, and formed a pair with the United Kingdom of Turanx, preparing to send troops at the same time when the Charles Federation and the Dolanx Republic raised troops to attack the Monya Empire. Crusade against Kerclough I to support Butterfly, denounce Kerclough for launching the Sosia Purge, and brutally suppressing the "Garcia" miners and other atrocities.
Under internal and external troubles, one can imagine what will happen to Kirkcraft I. I am afraid that the emperor's throne under his buttocks will not be warmed up, and he will be followed by princes and officials who are ignorant of the wind, angry people and the empire that defected. The fleet drove him out of the "Klimt" Palace, allowing him to be tried by the people and Butterfly in the "Celtic" Holy Sword Square.
At that time, these loyal subordinates, who will never leave even at the last moment, will become the new great nobles of the empire and the pillars of the country. This is an obvious thing, and it is also an agreement between Butterfly and them. Therefore, even in adversity, the fleet sergeant is united, with hopes and dreams in mind, and swears to fight for Prince Butterfly.
However, no one thought that what greeted them was not a brilliant and brilliant tomorrow, but deceit and lies.
"Operation Flashpoint" didn't exist at all, they were just Ashbringers that Butterfly used to get out.
When the agreed time for action was reached, when the fleet jumped to the predetermined location and was about to forcibly break through the border, it was discovered that Kirkcraft's confidant fleet had already set up a net nearby, waiting for their fish to come to their door by themselves.
The sergeants of the fleet panicked, wondering why this happened, how it was possible that Kirkrough's fleet could have known their target, set up an ambush around the intended breakthrough point, and finally caught the turtle.
Someone tried to connect to Butterfly's car "Corona", but found that His Royal Highness was no longer there. The chief guard said a word, only 4 words: "For Your Highness."
The sergeants finally understood that they were deceived, and became props for Butterfly to escape the golden cicada, and were used as sacrifices.
The battle ended quickly. A brutal character like Kirkcraft I, in order to deter other domestic vassal forces that were ready to move, dared to launch the Sosia Purge, of course he also dared to carry out a massacre of nine clans. (to be continued)
