MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 63
July 5, 1128, Galactic Calendar
The grand celebration of Mars Planet has not yet ended, but the Republic of Seth, the fourth planet of the Muse galaxy, has once again fallen into short-term chaos because of a document jointly signed by President Liu Xi and Marshal Helu, Commander of the Space Fleet. It is not because this document has a strict dictatorship or violates the liberal and democratic dogma that the Seth people uphold. On the contrary, this document is extremely ordinary. It is just a large batch of special magnetic ore on the eighth planet belonging to the Seth Republic. Shipping to Mars, paid, and very reasonable prices. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is nothing more than a reasonable transaction between governments, or because the Republic of Seth experienced the last interim President Shesha time, and the economy has not improved significantly. transactions to revitalize the domestic economy. Perhaps Marshal Helu was also persuaded by the president's eloquence and signed his name at the end of the document.
An extremely ordinary document, which does not even need to be kept secret, has been used by some people with intentions to exaggerate the truth and say it is a traitorous act of the Liu Xi government. Among them, Jeffrey, the former Speaker of the House of Lords and former Speaker of the House of Commons, Derry, who were expelled from the center of parliamentary power because of Liu Xi's iron fist, have transformed themselves into representatives of the public opinion and the interests of the miners who mine the magnetite on the eighth planet. The justice side, headed by Jeffrey and Derry, and the opposition of the current president Liu Xi in the government have appeared one after another. These politicians made speeches in the capital of the Republic of Seth, and portrayed Liu Xi as the most vicious and inflammatory words. A greedy, hypocritical clown who tried to exchange the interests of the people for the support of the Mars fleet. Of course, when these politicians waved their fists and spit in anger, they were finally not foolish enough to involve Marshal Helu in their alleged betrayal of the country.
At first, this kind of behavior did not have much impact, but as the incident of Liu Xi's smuggling to Mars was amplified and politicians' alarmist talk, some of Liu Xi's die-hard supporters seemed to be shaken. , the voices of doubts from the people began to appear. Compared with the president's reputation, these doubts were like stones that fell into the ocean and could not cause too much wind and waves. However, after listening to the report of the confidential secretary Kent, Liu Xi twisted his head. eyebrows raised.
On the huge mahogany table in the President's Office, a virtual screen was raised. On the screen, Jeffrey, the former Speaker of the House of Lords, was waving his arms and giving a loud speech: "...Citizens! Open your eyes and look at our President. What did the lord do?! He 'sends' the precious magnetite to the dictator of Mars at a very low price! Our miners are ignorantly working day and night for their former enemies! … "
Liu Xi supported his chin with one hand, and with the other hand, his slender fingers tapped the table rhythmically, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but the black eyes behind the transparent lenses did not show the slightest smile.
Signaling Kent to turn off the signal, Liu Xi pondered for a while, then picked up the phone, he couldn't let this group of shameless guys go on, something must be done before things got worse.
That afternoon, the supreme power holder of the military, Marshal Helu, the commander of the Space Fleet, suddenly and without any warning, delivered a brief but powerful speech to all the citizens. The photoelectric signal sent this speech to every member of the Republic of Seth. A corner, even Mars and γ City Free Federation, received the signal, all the citizens of Seth, and some interested people, stared at Heru in the marshal's uniform on the screen, with a serious expression, full of momentum, like standing. In front of him, in front of him, in his hands, there is no speech script or electronic virtual prompt screen, this mountain-like strong man, behind him are the senior officers of the cosmos fleet, including the deceased former fourth Colonel George, the commander of the fleet, was also assigned a position where there was an electronic simulacrum.
"The people, I, Helu, will guarantee with my life and glory that the president elected by you with the power in your hands will never do shameless acts that insult the democratic and free spirit of the Republic of Seth! Any suspicion and slander will be It will be regarded as an act of sabotage to the stability of the Republic of Seth! Trust your own judgment! The enemy should not be President Liu Xi, who only uses smuggling, but only strives for more security for the people! Yes, we and Mars People have been fighting for centuries, we have scolded and accused each other, we are guns and guns, our beliefs are different, our ideas are different, our country is fundamentally different, we were once opposites - but we are all remnants of the earth from the galaxy that has disappeared! We are Humans from the same Muse galaxy! Now, a group of demons from alien galaxies are trying to invade our beautiful homeland! They devoured the entire Fourth Fleet! They occupied the artificial celestial body of Royce by extremely disgraceful means, but Throw it away like garbage! Our warriors, our citizens, have left their lives and blood in the black universe forever!
Mars people, Mars fleet, their Kanon military fortress, their space fleet, are alone defending the channel to the Muse galaxy! Their fleet fought bravely against these foreign invaders! Their commander, piloting a one-man fighter jet, charged straight at the enemy warship, shattering his bones in the explosion! Yes, I still hate them, but I admire them just as much!
Citizens, don't you understand now, who is the real enemy? !
Really don't have to understand? ! "
This is the end of Marshal Helu's speech. This tough guy who has been in the military for a lifetime, his eyes were red at the end, and he almost roared and questioned all the citizens of Seth who were watching or listening to his speech. . He just questioned, but did not answer, but the answer was already obvious, no more explanation, no other means, just a short public speech, completely blocked the undercurrent tide.
The President of the Republic of Seth, Liu Xi, was waiting in the conference room. The closed door was pushed open. Marshal Helu and six generals in the army strode in. The current Speaker of the House of Lords and the Speaker of the House of Commons were also notified to attend the meeting. Liu Xi stood up, still with the usual smile on his face, but Marshal Helu's expression did not look relaxed, and he swept his gaze to the two current Speakers, who were standing aside, obviously embarrassed and guilty. After the Sha incident, Marshal Helu and Liu Xi reached a certain consensus, which can also be called a deal. The MPs from the military took control of the speakership of the House of Commons. Although the fire this time has been extinguished before it can start a prairie fire, punishment and accountability are not easy to erase or offset.
What makes Marshal Helu even more concerned is that, after so long, Geoffrey and Derry still have the ability to incite so many parliamentarians to follow their lead. The two current Speakers are more like decent decorations and jokes!
Just because of the stupidity of these two people, he had to promise Liu Xi to come forward to quell the chaos! Perhaps, will pay more for it!
Liu Xi waited until Marshal Helu and the rest of the army were seated, and motioned the confidential secretary, Kent, to close the door, and smiled to all present. He was very gentle, and his handsome face smiled like a spring breeze. He opened his fangs.
Soldiers should not step into the realm of politicians.
His eyes swept to the two Speakers who were sitting on the side, and the smile on Liu Xi's mouth deepened. The Speaker's position must be replaced. These soldiers with military temperament cannot become qualified politicians at all!
Dirty, cunning, insidious, these "excellent" qualities, they will never be able to have it!
This sudden and chaotic incident gave Liu Xi an opportunity, or rather, he created such an opportunity for himself. He needs the support of Marshal Helu and the military behind him, but he doesn't like being controlled by this soldier. When Marshal Helu's hand stretches too long, he needs to give him some warnings in a timely manner. Only in this way can the conceited Lord Marshal devote more energy to the army. They can no longer shrink on the planet as if they don't know everything. They have also encountered the Golden Empire space fleet, but Seth The performance of the fleet can only make people feel ashamed!
This situation must be changed! When Mars sent a message asking for a magnetite transaction, Liu Xi knew that this would be an opportunity! He must hold power in the shortest time. He is not a soldier, but after he has power, he can create more for these soldiers!
Liu Xi's unscrupulous behavior was also criticized by later historians. However, it is undeniable that the Seth fleet, which was not powerful, began to change gradually due to the disgraceful methods of the young president.
This year, Liu Xi was only twenty-five years old.
Golden Empire Space Fleet
Shang Ping was very surprised that Soran Edrich would actually watch the speech of Marshal Helu, Commander of the Space Fleet of the Republic of Seth? Or should I say, he was even more surprised that the Golden Empire space fleet could intercept the encrypted photoelectric signal so easily.
Even Shang Ping himself has little interest in the performances of these superiors. Of course, if the person on the screen is replaced by the handsome David South - Austin's father, or Liu Xi himself, his interest may be reduced. bigger.
Soran Edrich watched the whole speech with great interest. After the signal was interrupted, he immediately cut off all the ways of life belonging to Shang Ping on the chessboard.
The dark-haired boy cursed in his heart why the bearded Marshal couldn't speak longer? ! Then the next round of fighting began in frustration.
In a certain corner of the flagship, the former Captain of the Republic of Seth Elfie also listened to the speech completely, and turned off the small virtual screen, Elfy's eyes occasionally flashed an inexplicable look.
At the same time, the artificial celestial body of Royce, which was discarded in the universe like a death star, suddenly began to operate in the dark silence...
