Chapter 196 The Wind Starts From the Tip of the Green Ripples
There was silence in the conference room. After a long time, Malentin slowly spoke: "Without solid evidence, we cannot easily doubt a high-ranking member of the colonial government."
Having said that, everyone present has almost determined this in their hearts.
"So, at this stage, we need to make three preparations. First, a comprehensive search of the outer solar system. The range... is defined within 500 billion kilometers. All larger asteroids and dwarf planets within 500 billion kilometers from the sun, Search them all."
Wolf said solemnly: "Yes."
Although there are many stars in this range, perhaps millions or even tens of millions, and they are far away and difficult to search, Wolfe still agreed without hesitation.
At worst, just send a probe to an asteroid or dwarf planet. It's nothing more than tens of millions of detectors at most, which the Guard can afford.
It is completely enough to allocate one detector to one planet. That base is so big, how could it be hidden? As soon as the detector arrives and takes a look, it will be immediately clear.
“Two, don’t alert Witte and collect evidence secretly.
Third, attack the rebels with all your strength, and do not let the rebel interstellar guerrilla fleet affect the overall situation. "
At this stage, that's all it can do.
At this moment, geosynchronous orbit, ETA fleet headquarters.
The new commander of Eta Fleet, Wit, frowned. In front of him, the deputy commander of the fleet, the general staff and other senior fleet officials were present.
"Where is the base of that mysterious arms dealer? What is his identity?"
Witte murmured to himself: "It can't be the outer solar system... Is there really a high-level mole within our Eta colonial government? Is this mole protecting the mysterious arms dealer? Or, is this Is the true identity of the mysterious arms dealer that high-level mole? "
"Don't think about it, it must be like this! In my opinion, it's that old dog Marundin! He directed and acted all of this!"
The general staff officer said fiercely.
Wit sighed: "In terms of ability, only the faction headed by Marentin can avoid the detection and search of our military. But, this doesn't make sense... What's the motive?"
If the Pluto development strategy cannot be completed, Marentin will ultimately have to bear the responsibility. Did he dismantle himself? It doesn't make sense.
The general staff's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly understood something.
He stood up suddenly, his tone extremely solemn.
"Commander, I understand. The arms dealer thing must have been done by Marentin. The reason is precisely that he had no reason to do it."
The participants looked at each other, some incomprehensible.
Witt was startled, and then his whole body was also shaken.
"I understand, I understand! It's true! As long as he doesn't have any reason to do this, any doubts afterwards will not fall on him, and he can be cleared of suspicion! By that time, all doubts will be cast aside. Let us take the blame!"
"That's right! Commander, please think about it, our military has always been opposed to using force to fight against electric disasters, and then the mysterious arms dealer happened in the solar system. However, Malentin has no reason to do this, except Is there any other possibility that we did it? Even if we are full of words, no one will believe us!"
Indeed! When the time comes, it’s all done by yourself if you don’t do it yourself! If you can’t explain it clearly, no one will believe you!
Witt looked livid, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "This Marentin has such a vicious heart! He actually framed us like this!"
The general staff's mind was spinning rapidly: "As for the motive, it is very simple. Marentin's faction has always been at odds with our military faction. Once our military's obstruction of the development of Pluto is exposed, their faction will be able to Use this as an excuse to attack us!”
A deputy commander hesitated and said: "These are just speculations. Relying on these things without evidence to doubt the head of the colonial government..."
The general staff officer glanced at him: "It is actually very simple to confirm whether Malentin did this.
If my prediction is correct, Malentin will definitely conduct intensive and secret investigations on us in the future to prepare for frame-up. Everyone, please be vigilant and wait and see what Marundin does next, everything will become clear. "
"That's true. Let's just watch. But we can't sit still and wait for death. We must do something."
Another deputy commander agreed.
The general staff said coldly: "The key to breaking the situation is to look at the evidence. As long as we find evidence that Malentin, as a mysterious arms dealer, secretly supported the rebels, and find their base, everything will be revealed! He will then They can’t frame us!”
"Yes. Let our military intelligence department come out and investigate for me! Investigate it hard!"
The conference room was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
All participants felt that another intra-civilization struggle with broad scope was about to begin.
However, the wind rises at the end of Qingping. Things here in the solar system are just a prelude.
Time passed quietly. Just five days later, an ETA soldier was secretly arrested by military intelligence. Commander Witt of the Eta Fleet also personally attended the interrogation.
"I'll move, I'll move!"
The Ita soldier cried bitterly under the punishment: "It was the guards who asked me to collect the fleet's material supply and expenditure data. They told me to act in secret because they suspected that someone in our fleet had secretly communicated with the rebels..."
Witt's expression gradually became cold. The confession of this "spy" made the last bit of luck in his heart disappear.
Wolf, the captain of the Earth Guard, is a loyal descendant of Malendin. Why did he collect the fleet's material supplies and expenditures?
Suspecting that the fleet colluded with the rebels and secretly supported the rebels?
What a joke! Didn't he know whether his fleet colluded with the rebels?
This is clearly an excuse! It is clearly a preparation for the subsequent frame-up of his own fleet!
It's confirmed! The so-called mysterious arms dealer is behind Malendin! Supporting the rebels is just a self-directed and self-acted self-torture plan, the purpose is to frame himself!
At this moment, Witt even felt that his worldview was overturned.
Along the way, he had experienced countless struggles, both big and small, and he had a deep understanding of the evil of human nature. But this time, he was still shocked and unbelievable.
How could a person be so despicable?
He didn't care about his face!
"Commander, what should we do?"
Witt was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Seize the time to collect evidence. At the same time, we must take the initiative to attack the rebels. If the evidence collection is not smooth, our severe crackdown on the rebels can barely prove our innocence..."
