"Although Deputy Speaker Zhou Dunhou comes from a humble background, due to the support of the previous Speaker and his strong personal ability, he occupies an extremely important position in the People's Assembly. Even my father and Chairman Changsun are afraid of him." Mingyue.
Chang reminded Tang Lang. "The reason why he is here is because he created Daliang Star with his own hands. He has unparalleled prestige here. All the officials here, from the star to the mayor, are all from him."
Under the sect. His coming here is a great honor to the Headquarters and the Ministry of Military Affairs."
Mingyue Shang was very smart and intuitively felt that Tang Lang was not particularly interested in this federal figure, so she immediately reminded Tang Lang in a subtle way not to make any mistakes in this matter. Although the deputy speaker of the People's Assembly does not hold political and military power, he can control the government and military affairs.
The heads of the federal government have proposed impeachment, which is an extremely powerful political force in the federation.
What's more, this is the birthplace of his business that he has been operating for decades, and it is his territory. Offending him is undoubtedly an extremely unwise choice.
As for why Tang Lang suddenly became hostile to such a big shot, Mingyue Shang didn't think deeply about it. Almost all soldiers had no good impressions of politicians who talked and laughed happily on the table but did a lot of dirty things behind the scenes. Mingyue Shang
The same goes for clothes.
But it was obvious that Tang Lang did not take his senior's reminder to heart. As the supreme commander of the three ships escorting her, he had the highest decision-making power.
When Ming Yueshang went to Ma Xing, Jacob and Anji basically took turns accompanying her there.
But this time, Tang Lang insisted on going his own way. Not only did he ask all members of the consolation group to stay on the three starships for the time being, but he, the commander, personally took action and took his two right-hand men, Fatty and Anji, with a mecha battalion to accompany them.
Mingyue Shang has prepared a welcome ceremony at the airport.
"It is an honor for Daliang Star that Sister Mingyue and the condolence team are here at Daliang Star. I, Zhou Dunhou, would like to extend a warm welcome on behalf of the 500 million federal people of Daliang Star." On the screen, an old man with white hair, strict clothes and an upright face said to him.
Mingyue Shang, who was already ready to go, officially sent out an invitation.
"Thank you, Vice Speaker Zhou. You've been waiting for a long time." Mingyue Shang bowed slightly to pay tribute to this powerful politician who also had a place in the Southwest Federation.
Tang Lang, who was standing next to her, had no expression on his face, his eyes were bright and there was nothing unusual. After the old man glanced over curiously, he smiled and greeted the important man.
The federation has regulations that in wartime, federal soldiers do not have to salute except their superiors. This is a privilege granted to military personnel by the federation. Of course, except for the federal head of state, who is considered the commander-in-chief of the federation during wartime.
.
The old man obviously knew this rule. In addition to showing a hint of surprise at the rank of major general worn on young Tang Lang's chest, the old man also saluted Tang Leng with a warm face.
Everything seems normal.
Perhaps only Tang Lang himself knows that this is the biggest abnormality.
The entire federation is looking for who covered up the artificial jump of the mercenary group. Why did the energy detectors densely scattered in the void not sound the alarm? However, it is obvious that the mercenaries will not leave evidence. They accurately destroyed the artificial intelligence.
There are several energy detectors near the jump point. The data centers on all planets have no alarm data. The traitors who are deeply hidden and extremely cunning know these programs very well and have wiped out all possible traces in advance, so that
The federal investigation, launched quietly, has hit a bottleneck.
At such a critical moment, Mingyue Shang led a consolation delegation to visit the major planets in the Quan galaxy. In addition to appeasing the people, the Federation naturally also wanted to secretly investigate key figures in the government armies of each planet. However, so far, no clues have been found.
But no matter how cunning the traitor is, he will never know that there is an extraterrestrial artificial intelligence brain in the world that surpasses the technology of this era. In the past few days, Hobrourou has been connected to the network, using his terrifying computing power to surpass the federal central intelligence brain.
Through data analysis, Daliang Star is the planet with the greatest variability among the many human-inhabited planets in the Quan galaxy.
That's why Tang Lang gave Admiral Zhou Tai suggestions to change his way of thinking and lure mercenaries from the universe into the interior of the planet. Although Admiral Zhou Tai did not trust Tang Lang's so-called calculation of the agricultural planet Daliang Star based on the algorithm
The high-level officials had the highest chance of rebellion. After all, it was the territory of Vice-President Zhou, who was well-known in the Federation, but Tang Lang finally convinced him.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Mingyue Shang always attracted the mercenaries to the interior of the planet under the protection of his entire fleet. It was much easier to annihilate them than if they could escape in the void, at least they would not suffer losses.
Except for Zhou Tai, his Lieutenant General Chief of Staff, and Tang Lang, even Mingyue Shang herself didn't know about all this. She only knew that she was in the position of bait, just like a piece of fresh meat that smelled delicious food.
The mercenary group was attracted into the encirclement of the 9th Fleet.
Originally, Tang Lang was only suspicious of Daliang Star, but the moment he arrived five million kilometers away from Daliang Star, his suspicion of Daliang Star increased sharply. There were too many patrol ships to welcome them. He was the only one who
Only a battle-hardened warrior could sense through steel the importance attached to his Phoenix, which looked like a converted civilian starship, by the armed patrol ships that seemed to be protecting but were actually monitoring.
The reason why he paid attention to it was naturally not because of the Phoenix itself, but because of the presence of Mingyue Shang. When he saw this important figure in the Federation again, Tang Lang was even more sure that the trap he was looking for might have finally been found in the right place.
His rank of Major General was not announced. It was only issued jointly by the Chief of Military Affairs and the Head of State. Whoever replaced him would be surprised when seeing such a young Major General. This big shot naturally has sufficient rank and
Just because he knew that Tang Ran existed did not mean that he could remain calm, especially during a war like this.
That can only mean one thing. He knew Tang Lang, and the reason why he pretended not to know and didn't use the usual hypocritical politeness of politicians was because he wanted to hide something.
That's because the cooked duck will fly away!
After the screen faded out, Tang Lang's lips curved with a trace of sarcasm.
The planet below is obviously a trap, but it is unknown who this trap is for.
"What are you doubting?" When the two of them walked onto the transportation ship and sat down face to face, Ming Yueshang asked her doubts.
"Until there is definite evidence, all suspicions can only be suspicions." Tang Ladan shook his head. "Mingyue, you are a smart girl. You know, there are some risks we have to take. But, do you believe me?"
After a brief moment of astonishment, Mingyue Shang's bright face showed a smile: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have chosen your Phoenix cruise ship despite the looks of mercy from the captains of the 9th Fleet. But then
I want to help the captain but I never expected it. I know your personality best, you like to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. Sure enough, tsk tsk, it only takes 10 seconds to accelerate to 10,000 kilometers per second, less than 10,000 kilometers per second.
It can accelerate to full speed in 1 minute, your starship is not the latest product of the Federation, right?"
"Ahem, the disguise is the result of Ruge and the others, but the engine of the Phoenix was specially modified by me based on the teacher's design. Don't go too far." Tang Lang coughed twice and looked at Mingyue Shang seriously. "
If something unexpected happens, remember, just protect yourself. The phoenix is here and they will not kill the fish before we catch the bait. We need to be patient enough."
"Okay!" Mingyue Shang took a deep look at Tang Lang and squinted at the airport where she was about to land. "No wonder you let the three starships stay outside the planet's orbit. It turns out that there is something really weird here! Maybe,
The rise of Deputy Speaker Zhou, as my father said, is a little too shocking, but a little surprising!"
.......
Watching the three landing ships slowly sailing towards the airport, Hao Daier's face flashed coldly and ordered: "Order the entire ship to enter a state of combat readiness!"
No changes can be seen in the appearance of the Phoenix, but inside the Phoenix starship, all combatants are already in place. Under Yun Mo's orders, the Star Fighter pilots also put on combat helmets and entered the cockpit, in twos and threes.
After arranging the formation, as soon as the high-pressure door of the departure cabin is opened, all 18 Golden Eagle fighters can fly out of the starship within 10 seconds. In the mecha landing bay, one mecha after another has already flown out under the command of Jacob.
Enter the landing assault ship and stand by.
The energy engine has begun to charge. As long as there is an order from the bridge, the energy shield can be raised and the main gun can be charged to more than 70%. Those rail guns in the orbital circle will be merciless.
Was beaten into flying ash.
On the ground, the landing ship has arrived at the airport. Mingyue Shang is walking at the front alone. Tang Lang controls a Xiang Yu and walks beside her. Fatty controls his modified Ming warriors with a mecha battalion to guard them on both sides.
, the missile launcher of each mecha has been opened, the energy barrel has been extended, and the heavy machine gun perforation has also been opened.
Zhou Dunru stood at the end of the red carpet with a group of dignitaries in suits and leather shoes, who must have been from Daliangxing. He watched a mecha walk in accompanied by Mingyue Shang, still maintaining a rigorous face with no trace of anything strange.
It wasn't until Mingyue Shang approached that he took a few steps forward to shake hands with Ming Yueshang and greet her. He looked at the mecha guards behind Mingyue Shang who were waiting to stand, and asked with a smile: "Why do you only see Sister Mingyue and the rest of the condolence group?"
Where are the members? Do you think they are stingy enough to come and take a look at me because of my poverty?"
"Vice Speaker Zhou is serious. The head of state has already set the rules before the condolence delegation comes. We are here to appease the people, not to disturb the planetary governments. Because Vice Speaker Zhou is here, Mingyue Lai, more on behalf of myself.
The younger generation's respect for you, Mr. Zhou." Mingyue Shang explained with a faint smile.
"Haha, this explanation is very reasonable. The eldest sister of Du Mingyue's family is smart and generous, and she is like her father. She is really extraordinary when we see her today. No wonder the head of state from Ming Donglai can give you this important task right after you graduate." Zhou Dunhou laughed loudly.
But the next moment, he turned his attention to Xiang Yu's mecha next to Mingyue Shang, "This man in the mecha must be the captain of Sister Mingyue's guard! According to federal regulations, do you have to meet me face to face?"
The breastplate opened, revealing Tang Lang who had opened the visor of his tactical helmet in the cockpit. His fingers were resting on the control keyboard. Tang Lang grinned and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Vice Chairman Zhou, please forgive me for not being able to do this because Tang Lang is busy with military affairs."
Get off the mecha and give you my regards."
Zhou Dunhou nodded: "So, you are Tang Lang, the winner of the Victory Medal, the new major general of the Federation, and indeed a young hero."
"Vice Speaker Zhou is so complimentary." Tang Leng nodded and reached out to put away the armor.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Zhou Dunhou's eyes suddenly turned as sharp as a knife: "Major General Tang, please wait a moment."
Following his voice, countless mechas surged out of the airport, surrounding the mecha battalion in the center of the field from all sides. There was also a roar in the air, and at least more than 100 rotorcraft appeared densely from the distance.
The energy cannon hung beneath him shone coldly in the sunlight.
"Vice Speaker Zhou, what do you mean?" Mingyue Shang's face suddenly turned cold.
"What do you mean?" A smile appeared on Zhou Dunhou's face, and he stretched his hand back. A staff member put an electronic encryptor in his hand, and Zhou Dunhou handed it to Mingyue Shang. "Sister Mingyue, you can check it.
Look, this is an investigation order issued by the Supreme People's Assembly to the Federal Secret Service. I think that with your level, you can determine whether it is true or false."
"Sister Mingyue, I'm sorry. In fact, the real purpose of my coming here from the capital star is not to welcome you, but to wait for Major General Tang Lang." Zhou Dunhou talked eloquently. "Someone reported that our federal hero has a different background.
The problem is most likely the spies carefully trained by the Great Eagle Empire. Everything on Lafite is just a show jointly performed by Jiepen and the Great Eagle. Unfortunately, their performance is very real and even deceptive.
He stole some of the top officials of our Southwest Federation, allowed him to steal the highest honor of our Southwest Federation, and was even illegally promoted to key military positions such as Major General of the Federation."
"Of course, everything I said is just a report and the thoughts of some members of the People's Assembly. Nothing has been finalized yet. That's why I personally came to Daliangxing to meet with Major General Tang Lang and asked him to accept investigation." Zhou
Dunhou continued. "Otherwise, the person waiting here would not be me, an old man, but the secret police from the Secrecy Bureau."
"Investigating a federal major general and a winner of the Medal of Victory requires the signature of the head of state. I want to know, have you obtained authorization?" Mingyue Shang replied coldly.
"In normal times, this procedure must be followed, but unfortunately, after verification by the Secrecy Bureau, it was found that Major General Tang Lang is both a student of Major General Chang Sun and a classmate of yours, Sister Mingyue. They have a close personal relationship. According to federal regulations, the head of state must recuse himself. Therefore, only
It only requires authorization from the Supreme People's Assembly." Zhou Dunhou answered with a smile.
"Then I, too, have to be investigated." Ming Yueshang's expression remained unchanged.
"No, Sister Mingyue, you do not need to be investigated. However, during this period, in order to prevent what Major General Tang Lang's subordinates have any ideas, your safety will be temporarily taken over by the Daliang Star garrison." Zhou Dunhou said with a righteous face.
As he spoke, at least two mecha battalion troops surrounded this side, blocking the assault direction of the mecha battalion led by Tang Lang. Not to mention, the electromagnetic barrier opened all around blocked their way to the phoenix in space.
SOS call.
"Everyone! According to the order of the People's Assembly, Major General Tang Lang needs to be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Secrecy. The safety of Lieutenant Mingyue Shang is temporarily taken over by our Daliang Star garrison, and you need to temporarily disarm and rest at the designated location until all investigations are completed.
I'll give you the next step notice!" A mecha emerged from the crowd and issued a warning through the electronic loudspeaker. "In this process, please cooperate with our people! Otherwise, there will be some gunshots that don't want to be seen.
I'm sorry for the situation!"
To put it bluntly, this is Chi Guoguo’s forcible disarmament and seizure!
Although the escort mechas led by Fatty and Anji had expected it, they were also angry at the other party's behavior. However, in the reaction of the metal detector, in addition to the two mecha battalions that appeared in front of them, there were even some people further away.
A warcaster.
Some of the optical detectors even appeared at the commanding heights. The long guns in the mecha's hands were clearly extremely powerful sniper models. If the mecha battalion wanted to resist, the ambush here would cause them heavy losses!
However, the mecha battalion was not afraid. They immediately formed a battle formation and stared at the mechas on the opposite side. In a fat man’s words, a mecha master is nothing. I didn’t face dozens of mechas by myself that time.
Mecha, if you have the ability, here are ten mecha masters.
Those who can follow are all the elites of the independent fleet. Naturally, they are not afraid of this kind of battle. The engines are recharged and the energy shield is raised. As long as Tang Lang in the distance makes a move, the entire battalion will rush to stay.
Opponents hundreds of meters away.
Looking at the unruly mecha troops in front of them, the mecha troops dispatched by Liangxing were also quite nervous. They had been notified that they were besieging the mecha guards guarding the daughter of the federal head of state. They could figure it out from the back seat.
How powerful this group of people is, and the facts before them also tell them that even though they have a small number of mechas, they are not weak at all.
However, they have been authorized by the Supreme People's Assembly. As long as their opponents dare to resist, they are rebels of the Federation and a party lacking justice. This may be the biggest insistence of this group of mecha troops.
However, the feeling of facing their own compatriots and about to face each other in battle is obviously not very pleasant for both sides.
The breastplate of Tang Lang's Xiang Yu mecha was not closed, and his dark face under the tactical mask was staring at Zhou Dunhou. Zhou Dunhou, who held great righteousness in his hands, seemed not afraid at all to smash himself into pieces with just a raise of his hand.
The face of Pancake's tall mecha was still calm, and he looked at Tang Lang's sharp eyes without fear.
Then, just as the armed mechas of the Daliang Star garrison were standing ready, the mecha battalions under Tang Lang's command that were ready for battle suddenly put away the missile launchers on their shoulders, and inserted the swords and guns they had taken out into their backs.
.
Tang Ladan's voice sounded: "I am willing to accept the investigation!"
"Okay, very good! Major General Tang Lang understands the general situation so well. I will truthfully write this into the investigation report. I also believe that Major General Tang Lang is innocent." Zhou Dunhou showed a smile on his face.
Looking at Tang Lang jumping out of the mecha cockpit, he held his hands solemnly and said, "Please!"
Everything was in compliance with the federal regulations, but Mingyue Shang, who had a cold face, could clearly feel a hint of pride in the eyes of the originally honest and rigorous old man when he turned around.
Tang Lan's intuition was correct! Ming Yueshang felt a deep shudder. If this was just a power struggle conspiracy, it wouldn't be enough to scare Ming Yueshang, who was born in a political family, but what if it was connected to a mercenary group?
?If the old man in front of you, who has been deeply involved in federal politics for decades, is the source of the disaster in the Quan Galaxy, how much damage will it cause to the federation?
Mingyue Shang couldn't imagine it.
