Three hours have passed since Han Kongwen was killed.
The highest-level management structure of the Glorious Republic has entered the highest alert state, and the defense governor of Erub and his subordinates have been fully imprisoned.
There was solemnity in the conference hall.
Xiao Qing sat in the seat of the supreme leader, with five executive officers sitting on each side on the left and right sides. They formed the highest-level management system of the Glorious Republic.
"The enemy's demonstration against us in this way is not only an insult to the glorious Republic, but also a contempt for all mankind!" The speaker was Yue Pingyang, the Supreme Defense Minister. Although he has retreated to the background, he will be available when necessary.
We still have to take the lead.
The venue was very quiet, and there was no sign of chaos due to the murder of a top-level person.
Xiao Qing didn't speak. She looked at an older man standing in the center of the venue who looked older and thinner.
The moment he was stared at by this gaze, the old man seemed to be electrocuted, and his body trembled slightly.
He lowered his head and said after a long time: "I only got involved with them accidentally. I don't know what they want to do. I have told you what I know. Please don't torture me anymore."
Me."
As he spoke, the old man, who was nearly sixty years old, knelt down and begged for mercy while constantly kneeling and kowtowing to the people around him.
Xue Ming was standing less than five meters away from the old man.
After looking around at everyone's expressions, Xue Ming explained: "This man's name is Ou Liheng. He is sixty-one years old and a former citizen of the Glorious Republic. At the beginning of this year, he was sentenced to one year and six months in prison for carrying illegal drugs. He subsequently served his sentence.
During this period, he killed a fellow inmate who lived with him and was sentenced to death, suspended for one year. Originally, this was just a very common case, but a week ago, our newly built Cerberus defense structure was invaded.
The weapons originally used to protect the city were aimed at citizens with legal status, causing the death of one person. This person was the former Interstellar Army Reserve First Class Tong Bo."
Speaking of this, there was a slight commotion in the venue, because everyone present was familiar with the death of "Tong Bo".
That wasn't a mistake, it was an assassination...
"After the death of Private First Class Tong Bo, our special team conducted a week-long investigation into the incident, and then we discovered an extremely terrifying thing, that is... our world has been invaded, and
Those who invaded us are not aliens, but our ancestors who have destroyed the earth for many years in our minds." As soon as Xue Ming said this, everyone present except the eleven people representing the highest management system.
They all looked shocked and in disbelief.
Including Yue Pingyang, although his first impression when he heard this was nonsense, he knew that Xue Ming would not joke on such an important occasion today. In other words... Xue Ming had already obtained key evidence to prove that they
The findings of the investigation are facts and cannot be doubted.
For a time, there were many people who had the same idea as Yue Pingyang, but there were also some who couldn't help but ask questions.
For example, Yu'er is relatively simple and not so sensitive to political things.
As the only woman who has entered the power structure of the Glorious Republic as an omnic, Yu'er views
The way questions are asked is very different from ordinary people.
Just like now, her focus is not on the authenticity of Xue Ming's words, but on the form and extent of the invasion.
She was the first to ask: "Mr. Minister, what is the form of the invasion you are talking about? What is the specific extent?"
After hearing this, Xue Ming replied: "The specific form is like the man named Ou Liheng next to me. From the appearance and his DNA base, he is still the same person, but in fact, after our verification and his personal confession, he is
The real name should be Zhu Guoyu, the real age is 35 years old, and the real identity is a professional farmer working on the agricultural land in Class A C District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China, and he is originally from Shandong."
Agricultural land in Class A and C area of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China?
What's this?
Regarding this doubt, Xue Ming added: "There is a lot of content, but you don't have to worry about the specific identity information of Zhu Guoyu, because the point is not that, the point is... he comes from the earth!"
"How is that possible!" The commotion in the venue turned into a lot of discussion. It was obvious that it was still difficult for everyone to accept this fact in their hearts.
However, the information Xue Ming showed to everyone next caused everyone to fall into silence.
"I know this is hard to believe, but in fact, an experimental accident that we considered to be an accident occurred earlier. In this accident, our chief engineer of warp research, Ms. Manny, was working with
An accident occurred during the contact with the unknown 'factor' sequence, causing the body to fall into a state of shock. At first, we thought it was just an ordinary incident, but when Ms. Manny woke up, we found that Ms. Manny had an identity check with someone on the earth.
Exchange, that is to say, with the help of the power of 'Factor', Ms. Manny returned to Earth, and someone from Earth arrived in Gaia!"
When Xue Ming said these words, the information in his hand had already been shared.
Although Yue Pingyang knew about the existence of the "Factor", the details of the "Factor" research were top secret matters. Therefore, even as the Minister of the Supreme Defense Ministry, he had just learned that such a thing had happened.
However, Yue Pingyang would not be unhappy because he, as the Supreme Defense Minister, was kept in the dark because he knew the seriousness of this matter.
'If the factor really has this power... then...' Yue Pingyang's attention shifted from the data in front of him to the power structure of the people around him working with him.
It was Li Boan's people who arrested Chu Yunlan, and it was Yue Pingyang's people who were responsible for imprisoning Chu Yunlan.
Thinking back to the last time Su An was assassinated, Yue Pingyang understood... The top management system has included him in the list of suspicious persons...
Although he may be overthinking, these people are definitely putting a question mark over his head.
Yu'er carefully read the investigation report and asked: "Based on this report, do we have every reason to suspect that there are people among us who have been invaded?"
Everyone has long been used to Yu'er's outspokenness.
But today is different. What Yu'er said undoubtedly brought the problem to the fore. All the top management personnel were present, and anyone who had been hacked could be found out at a glance. It seemed that the problem was easy to solve, but... no one could guarantee this.
What is about to be found out may exist
The intruders left no stone unturned.
So... after Yu'er asked the question, the venue became quiet again, and the atmosphere became obviously depressed.
Xue Ming was still very relaxed, and he replied: "Yes, we have every reason to suspect that there are intruders among us. After all, a few years ago, the 'factor' was fully open to the outside world, and there were many of us
I have participated in cleaning up the various lairs of the disciples, but...suspicion does not mean that there must be among us. Therefore, the main purpose of calling you here today is not to spread panic, but to hope that you will be aware of the current situation, and
Based on their respective strengths, come up with a specific and feasible plan to prioritize the cleanup of their respective departments. At the same time, everyone is also asked to submit their rights certificates to the central core before leaving the venue."
The words were very full, but when he heard the last sentence, Yue Pingyang smiled.
It is said that there will be no inspection, but after the rights certificate is handed over, all rights execution links will be reviewed by the central core and the eleven people at the highest management level. Under such constraints, it is no longer necessary to find the traitors today.
Because as long as he wants to continue to live, he must serve the Glorious Republic. At the same time, as long as this traitor does not take the initiative to expose himself, it proves that their plan will still take time.
As for...
Yue Pingyang looked at Xiao Qing, who was sitting at the highest position in the venue.
As for whether they have found out who the traitor is, it's hard to say...
After understanding this, Yue Pingyang already felt confident. However, as the Minister of the Supreme Defense Ministry, he could not escape the involvement of Han Kongwen's murder. Leaving aside the responsibility and punishment for the time being, the question was how he could deal with the thirteen domes as quickly and best as possible.
What about a comprehensive cleanup of the defense system?
While thinking about this issue, Xiao Qing, who had been silent, spoke up.
"Everyone, although I personally feel puzzling about this behavior of my compatriots on Earth, and I also hope that we can adopt the same co-prosperity method as the Shenqi clan to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties, but judging from the current actions of the invaders, just like at the beginning, Yue
As the minister said, they have declared war on us. In this case, peace talks are no longer necessary. Here, I suggest that the Republic enters a level 1 combat state." After saying this, Xiao Qing stood up and took out her highest authority credentials.
In the venue, everyone was shocked.
The first to express support was the Interstellar Army headed by Qi Xuan.
Then came Yue Pingyang's Ministry of Defense structure, followed by the Border Defense Force and the Arbiter.
In the end, Xiao Qing's proposal was passed unanimously.
Although Zhu Guoyu didn't know what these people's decisions meant, he could feel that... the war... had begun.
…
After the meeting, the top ministers of each ministry immediately began to convene their subordinates to discuss the clean-up operation.
Xiao Qing and others did not stay in Eluber. They took the King directly to the Lightless City. According to Xiao Qing's plan, under the current circumstances, relying only on human beings' own strength is no longer enough to uncover the "factor" in the world.
The mystery, so Xiao Qing decided to use the power of the Shenqi clan to solve the problem at hand while Lin Yan was still at the highest position.
Xue Ming did not return to the Arbiter headquarters after the meeting. Instead, he took the Border Defense Force's "Southwind" battleship to Percival. He was going to the center of the whirlpool to find the truth.
