(a chapter is divided into three days to update because the physical book has just been published, and the book has just come out, so the update should be a little slower.)

In the face of countless reporters, Namha angrily raised his fist and shouted: "slander!" This is slander! This is definitely slander! " After shouting this, Namha turned his face and said with a look of desolation and pain: "do you think I have been treading on thin ice and forgetting to eat and sleep day and night since I took office, and what I have done is still for the sake of the people of the Union?" But I didn't expect. I can't believe someone slandered me! I'm going to sue the TV station that spread false news! " Speaking of which, he raised his voice again.

After the Namha show, as soon as he made a gesture for the start of the question and answer session, a reporter immediately raised his hand and asked, "Sir, is it true that the federal prosecutor is going to investigate you this time?"

"there is no such thing! If the prosecutor investigates me, do you think I can still stand here and hold a press conference? All this is a rumor! " Namha gave a quick answer as soon as the reporter's voice ended.

"Sir, someone has filed a complaint against you in court. Who do you think this person is?" Another reporter asked.

"I have to ask you journalists. It was only after the news was broadcast on TV that I learned that someone was suing me. But I am sure that such people who make something out of nothing must be my political enemies, hoping to deal a blow to my reputation! But he will be disappointed. People like me who are not afraid of shadows will not be knocked down by these rumors! My supporters will certainly not believe this nonsense! "

At this time, when a reporter stood up to ask questions, he suddenly found that Namha's face changed and looked blankly at the door of the conference hall. So he forgot to ask the question and turned to have a look. Namha's expression and the reporter's movements made everyone turn their heads back to watch.

At this glance, everyone was stunned, because there were four big men in military uniforms at the door of the conference hall. When a knowledgeable reporter saw the armbands of those soldiers, he could not help exclaiming, "Marshal of the military court!" Everyone was stupefied when they heard this. We all know that this kind of marshals specialize in arresting people who have broken the federal military law, but there are no soldiers here. What are they doing here?

Namha looked at the four soldiers coming towards him and asked in a low voice to his secretary Zhang, "what's going on?" What are the people from the court martial doing here? Didn't you say hello to the marshal? "

Secretary Zhang replied puzzled: "Sir, the Marshal has promised to use the influence of the army to interfere in this matter, and I don't know why the people of the military court are here."

When Namha heard Olmster's promise, he was relieved that as long as the first person in the army was on his side, he had nothing to be afraid of, and he was not a soldier, and the court-martial was not qualified to arrest him. These people may have come to inform themselves of something.

Namha thought of this and hurriedly greeted the four marshals who were already standing in front of him with a kind smile. But before he opened his mouth to ask them what happened, one of the marshals, who stood in the first place, took out a piece of paper from his arms and read, "according to Chanamha, he colluded with the arms manufacturer." during his term of office, he used the presidential power to force the types of warships purchased by the army, and received huge kickbacks, resulting in a large number of casualties among our federal soldiers due to the poor quality of warships. We are now under arrest for the crime of endangering military personnel under Article 345 of the Federal Constitution! "

When Namha heard this, he was in a daze not because there was no such thing, but because it was a very secret matter. why would the people of the military court know about it? No one should know except the arms dealer and himself.

While Namha was thinking hard, the reporters were already desperately shooting pictures with their cameras, and they all knew it was really big news this time. Namha, who often shouted to protect the interests of soldiers outside, unexpectedly colluded with arms merchants to supply fake and shoddy warships of the army!

"excuse me, please come with us." The chief marshal saw Namha staying there and winked. Behind him, two of the marshals immediately came forward, clamped Namha's arm, picked it up and left.

Namha then realized that while struggling, he shouted, "Let me go!" This is slander! Rumors!

Set up! " He looked for help at his bodyguards, but the bodyguards pretended not to see him, either lowering their heads or turning their heads sideways.

These bodyguards are usually arrogant because their boss is the federal president. Usually these people can beat up badly when they don't like the police, and they can even fight with the gendarmerie without being caught, but now when they see the marshals, they can only behave with their tails between their legs. The reason is very simple, offended the police and the gendarmerie, only offended their officers, the boss can apply a little pressure to cross the border. But the marshals represent the majesty of the entire federal army to stop them? One hundred percent will be shot to death, and it's a very dishonorable way to die. It seems that these people are going to find another boss.

Namha saw that his bodyguard was unreliable and could not help cursing himself, but now is not the time to think about it. Namha hurriedly turned his eyes to Secretary Zhang and winked desperately to ask him to ask Olmster for help.

But Namha suddenly felt cold all over because he saw Secretary Zhang sneer at him and then turned away. Was it not done by Chen Yu, but by Secretary Zhang, who he believed to be his confidant? But why would he do that? It won't do him any good at all. Or is it that my enemy bribed him at a high price? It is also impossible, his secret funds are handed over to him to make a profit, that is, the interest deposited in the bank is astronomical.

Oh, crap! Namha knows why Secretary Zhang betrayed himself, because in this way the secret funds are all his! no way! I can't let this traitor swallow my money! Namha opened his mouth, ready to drag the secretary into the water. But at this time, one of the marshals holding him said in a low voice in Namhar's ear: "your secretary is not Kaijie Zhang, but Zhang Huxin."

"Zhang Hu Soul?" Namha was stupefied when he heard the name, but for a moment, Namha, who thought of something, groaned livid: "Zhang Huxing, the eldest son of Zhang Junlong!" The whole person softened down and was taken away by the law enforcement officials without resistance.

In a villa in the federal capital, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, shaking his glass while watching Chen Yu on the news, he smiled gloomily and said to himself, "take advantage of his illness to kill him." spread the information about Namha. "

In the corner where the projector could not shine, a figure suddenly came out. The man bowed to Chen Yu's back and said, "Yes."

Chen Yu took a sip of the wine in the glass, then held the glass close to the light to observe the bright color.

The shadow did not leave, but stood there quietly.

After a while, Chen Yu said slowly, "do you know who jumped out first?"

"is Namha's first secretary." The shadow answered very succinctly.

"Oh, Secretary Zhang, I've seen him several times, but I didn't expect this silent young man to be so ruthless. Find out why he betrayed? It must be for the secret funds of Namha. " Chen Yu smiled and tasted the wine again.

"I couldn't find out, but I found another identity of Secretary Zhang." The shadow was only halfway through the conversation and then closed its mouth.

When the matter is not urgent, Chen Yu likes his subordinates very much not to say the answer directly, because it can exercise his thinking ability.

"Oh, I can't find out his motive, and he has another identity. Using a forged identity can also be Namha's first secretary, which not only shows that he is very capable, but also proves that there is a lot of power behind him. Which force does he belong to? " Chen Yu has been able to guess which one is behind him, and now he is waiting to prove whether he is right or not. Of course, he will not tell his guess, in case it is wrong, it will not only embarrass his subordinates, but also make them laugh.

"his real name is Zhang Huxin." The shadow knew that being too detailed to the boss would be considered to be ostentatious, so he could only say what represented the power of that person.

Chen Yu, who is also the head of the national defense and intelligence departments, immediately knew what the name Zhang Huling stood for.

He opened his mouth in surprise and wanted to say something, but he quickly closed his mouth, looked up and drank up the glass, sighed a sigh of relief, and then slowly said, "investigate what Zhang Junlong and Zhang Huling are going to do. Namha's secret funds are not in the eyes of the king of the north, and they must have some purpose in doing so." With that, he waved the man to stand down.

I do not know how long, Chen Yu powerless soft forehead said to himself: "how can it be Zhang Junlong?" In principle, it should be Olmster who is supposed to span Namha. Zhang Junlong, the king of the north, has always kept a low profile and does not interfere in politics. What on earth is the purpose of letting his son do such a big thing all of a sudden? "

Cymbal

At Marshal House, Olmster, sitting at his desk, smiled at the two holographic busts in front of him. On the left is a middle-aged man in a federal four-star general uniform, his jet-black hair combed back very tightly, and his ordinary facial features are full of authority because of his shining eyes.

On the right is a very gentle young man in a neat black close-fitting suit, white shirt and black tie, but the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth makes him look a little proud of the crowd.

The four-star general first said, "Old friend, please take care of my son." The young man bowed his head slightly when he heard this.

Olmster said with a smile: "I said Junlong, what do you ask? I always regard my nephew of the tiger soul as my own son. If I need my help, I still need you to ask."

Hearing this, Zhang Junlong smiled and nodded and said nothing more, but his sharp eyes glanced at the young man. The young man bowed his slightly bowed head and said respectfully, "Thank you, uncle. Please continue to take care of your nephew in the future."

Olmster smiled and nodded and said, "Don't say any more, and you'll treat me like an outsider." Tiger Soul, have you taken over Namha's territory? Is there any problem? "

Zhang Huling said respectfully, "Yes, there is no problem." Because over the years, Mr. Namha's election and getting closer to the voters are all done by his nephews. it can be said that voters are not as familiar with Mr. Namha as they are about his nephew. After Mr. Namha's accident, the voters offered to let me run in place of Mr. Namha. "

Hearing that Zhang Huxing also called Namha Mr. Olmster, he couldn't help looking at him carefully. Olmster knew that Zhang Huling was not used to calling him, but he did not know whether he admired Namha and continued to call him sir, or because he was polite. If it is the latter reason, then this young man is so deep that he can keep politeness to the object he framed in front of his own people.

Thinking of this, Olmster sighed and said, "it's a pity that you can't run in a joint election with Chen Yu." Namha and Chen Yu are rivals, so it is impossible for the voters who support Namha to agree with you to join hands with Chen Yu, otherwise you will be qualified to serve as vice president. " Speaking of this, Olmster laughed: "but don't be discouraged. With the support of members sent by your father and me, the Speaker of the House of Representatives can still be made."

Olmster had been secretly watching the expressions of the father and son as he said this, and saw that although they had a faint smile on their faces, they looked a little steady. Seeing this scene, Olmster could not help thumping in his heart. It seems that the members supported by the Junlong faction must have accounted for the majority of all seats, otherwise they would not have shown such an expression.

"well, what a pity. Because of the last incident of taking meritorious service under a false name, the congressmen who were openly supported by the military were disgraced. Although he has always been a spokesman for himself in the dark, the number is not very large. Judging from their appearance, the Junlong faction must have secretly supported many more people than themselves. "

While Olmster was thinking, Zhang Junlong said aloud: "Chen Yu now ranks first in the vote, and the presidency is secure." The first federal person with a defense department and intelligence will certainly not make it easier for people in our military system. In order for the house to contain him, I think we should be honest with each other. This is a list of parliamentary candidates supported by my faction, 70% of whom have already won the election. "

With Zhang Junlong's words, a miniature screen appeared in front of Olmster, and the name was scrolling slowly. Olmster pressed the infrared electronic touch keyboard on his desk and immediately knew that there were 7,000 people on the list, more than 5,000 of whom were already qualified as councillors. Among the 20,000 seats, it is already known who made them sit on more than 5,000 seats. Do not know whether the figure of more than 5,000 people is true? It must be much less than the real number.

Olmster looked up and smiled. "I don't have a faction, but there are thousands of people who are friends who have won the election," Olmster said with a smile. I'll send you their list. " With that, he pressed a few buttons.

Zhang Junlong's image seemed to be looking down at something. For a long time, he looked up and glanced at his son carelessly, then smiled and said, "I really can't see that you have so many friends who have won the election. Why don't you let Tiger Soul visit them?"

"this is naturally necessary, otherwise how can we contain Chen Yu? I will introduce the tiger soul to them. " Olmster said with a smile.

Zhang Huling received a list of congressmen supported by Olmster from his father. When he saw that there were as many as 3,000 people on it, his heart jumped. Together with the 2,000 people hidden on his side, 20,000 people accounted for more than half of the seats, reaching 52% of the seats. Don't underestimate this 2%, this is the power that can really influence the Union!

Olmster began to hit the keyboard when the father and son were passing the documents, when he said aloud to Zhang Huling, "I have sent them the letter of introduction. You can contact them at any time."

This kind of contact with thousands of people is usually through holographic projection, just like Olmster, otherwise who has the energy to meet thousands of people one by one? Of course, very confidential things or in order to cultivate feelings, will meet in person.

Zhang Junlong nodded to Zhang Huling and said, "look, how much your uncle took care of you. He just sent out the letter of introduction. Why don't you go and get in touch with those congressmen?"

Zhang Huling knew that his father had something to say to Olmster, and it was probably a topic that could not be discussed, and he might be angry if he stayed here, so he hurriedly thanked Olmster and turned off the connection of the communicator.

"Mr. Marshal, now that there is no conflict at the border, I don't know when the senior warships under the military region will be able to return to the station. Of course, the commander of the military region does not have a problem with this. We are all federal soldiers, and those battleships are federal warships, and wherever they are stationed is a federal word. However, those soldiers from the northern mainland of Xiaguan always complained to me that they dared not complain during the war, but now there is no war, and the senior warships of the whole Union are all concentrated on one planet, and they are all crowded to death. When can I go back? Because I had a cocoon in my ears when I heard these words, the next officer came to inquire about his Excellency Marshal. " Zhang Junlong said and looked closely at Olmster.

Olmster knew what he was going to say when Zhang Junlong let his son leave first. Although Zhang Junlong still had 150000 warships under his command, it was a pity that these were various types of warships and transport ships of the middle and lower levels, with less than 60% of their original combat effectiveness. Of course, was anxious about those high-end warships.

After the end of the border conflict, there are dozens of officers who have expressed their wish to transfer high-level warships back to their original posts. Some of these people say that the strength to defend the border is not enough, some say that the fight against cosmic pirates is not enough, in fact, they are not all in order to preserve their own strength. It seems that the separatist regime of warlords is slowly beginning to emerge in the Union, and it is funny to think that Olmster, because each military region will have so much power, is the result of its own achievements over the past few decades.

These thoughts flashed through my mind, of course, and Olmster nodded at the end of Zhang Junlong's voice and said, "I was just about to talk to you about this." After the end of the conflict and the fact that the Empire did not continue to invade, it was ready to transfer the high-level warships back to their original positions during the general election. However, I did not expect that during this period, there was an incident of Moon Rees encroaching on meritorious service. Although a wanted warrant was issued, the South paid no attention to it at all, but drove out the people sent to capture it in the cosmos of the planets. "

"does your excellency mean that the Les faction will rebel? How can his mere 100000 middle-and lower-class warships compete with hundreds of thousands of federal warships? Please rest assured that there is no need for other military regions to take action, as long as your Excellency brings back the senior warships of the Northern military region, the lower officials dare to issue a military writ to arrest Moon Rees and his son immediately! " Zhang Junlong continued to stare closely at Olmster.

Olmster sighed and said, "well, of course I know that as long as your northern military region can destroy Moonres." However, the number of high-level warships of the Les faction on the star is as large as 3,000. If the warships of your Northern military region, which have a great advantage over them, are transferred away, once they collude with the empire, our federal front will collapse immediately. Even if they do not commit treason and seize other warships with a slogan to stop the civil war, the whole border will immediately become chaotic. "

Zhang Junlong said disapprovingly, "isn't it a matter of order, your Excellency Marshal, to replace the commanders of these warships, or to replace all southern personnel for the sake of safety?"

Olmster opened his hand and said helplessly, "it's hard. Don't they know the reason why we do this?"

This will only lead to an early rebellion! Even if they do not rebel, they can put off by only obeying the orders of their immediate superiors. The orders of my marshal are of no use. "

Zhang Junlong raised his eyebrows. He already knew what Olmster meant. He hoped that the marshal could order any soldier's decree to be passed as soon as possible.

When Zhang Junlong first heard the proposed decree, he knew that it was an imperial sword against the commanders of his military region. Because of this decree, the marshal has the right to directly place his cronies in the key departments of the military region, and at the same time, he can also transfer the confidants of the commander of the military region to other places. In a sense, it is good for the federal army, but not so good for the commanders of their own military regions. He originally wanted his son to take control of the house and delay the implementation of the law, but now it seems that Olmster has traded with him a high-level warship from the Northern military region.

"as a precaution, we can do it first. In Hakexing, there are at least tens of thousands of high-level warships outside the Les faction, which can completely destroy the Les faction's warships. As long as you give the order, the lower officer is willing to go to command himself. " Zhang Junlong weighed it and felt that it was still not cost-effective, preferring to wear out some high-end warships rather than let the law be passed.

"that's impossible. what reason do we use to destroy them? Does it mean to prevent them from defecting in the future? It won't work at all. " Olmster shook his head hurriedly.

Zhang Junlong looked at Olmster silently for a long time before he said in a voice: "the lower officer understands, so wait for your Excellency to transfer those people away before discussing the topic of the transfer of high-level warships back to the military regions." Ah, yes, Moonres contacted us four-star generals. He said he was framed. I don't know if I can believe what he said. OK, then I'll get in touch with you next time. " With that, he took a meaningful look at Olmster and turned off the communication.

Olmster looked at the empty office, smiled at the corners of his mouth and said to himself, "it seems that a real war is needed."

After taking a floating car and a transport ship, Tang long finally came to the office of the commander of the Gulongyun Galaxy military region after several hours. And the gendarmerie took Tang long to the door and left.

"report!" Tang long saluted to the closed door. At this time, the detectors placed on both sides of the door scanned Tang long with two faint lights, and then with the sound of B, the door opened automatically.

"Damn it, you don't open the door until you have checked it. Will an assassin come before it?" Tang long, who had thought that standing at the door would open the door, muttered to himself. He would even complain about such a thing, mainly because he had to salute again when he went in.

When Tang long went in, he saw the middle-aged soldier standing at the broad table. He had seen this man, and it was this man who gave him the order to fight to the death against the enemy. Those three shiny Venus are really disgusting. Although Tang long was thinking wildly, he still made an impeccable military salute with an expressionless face, and said respectfully, "good morning, sir!"

Admiral Gu'ao casually waved his hand as a gift, then said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, our hero of the Union." Come on, let's sit and say. " He pointed to the sofa in the corner of the room.

"Thank you." Tang long kept a cold expression, put his hands on his knees, sat upright on the edge of the sofa, and listened to the officer all the time. Only when the young and beautiful female orderly offered the black tea did he slightly nod his head and say thank you.

Of course, Tang long also noticed that the beautiful orderly secretly glanced at him, but instead of thinking of anything else, he thought, "I wonder if this female soldier has had such an affair with this general." If so, how can evidence be collected? " He is now thinking about how to make use of everything he sees. The boastful and nonsensical Admiral Gu'ao doesn't know how his subordinates are thinking about how to ruin their reputation.

"that matter was mainly done by Lieutenant General Moon Rees and Lieutenant General Soss. Later, under the conscience of Lieutenant General Soss, under my own impartiality, and under the Marshal's personal inquiry, you finally saw the light of day." Tang long listened to General Gu'ao keep saying, the main content is that without Lieutenant General Soss and Marshal, especially without the help and impartiality of this general, he would not be able to turn around as a lieutenant.

Tang long secretly sneered in his heart, don't think that he has been locked up for so long and don't know what's going on outside. The first thing he does is to look for archived news. In the whole thing, Southhai protected the people he knew and reported Moon Rees, while the marshal kicked Moon Rees out of office, but you, the general, didn't do anything at all. Why did you praise yourself so many times?!

"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't know how the comrades-in-arms in Xiaguan's ship are doing now." Tang long finally waited until the General of the Ancient Olympic Games had a chance to drink tea and asked immediately.

"Oh, they, speaking of them, that's why I want to meet you." Guao put down the teacup and stared at Tang long. Seeing Tang long looking at himself with the same look, Guao said slowly: "you can imagine that this incident is a major blow to the prestige of our army." The number of people applying for enlistment this year alone has dropped by 50% compared with the previous year, and the number of people applying for retirement has increased by 200% over the previous year, from which we can see the seriousness of the matter. "

Of course, Tang long knew how much it dealt a blow to the army's prestige. When he heard the news, he had the feeling that the army was so dark. I'm afraid people who know the truth feel the same way. With that feeling, who wants to stay in the army?

Seeing Tang long nodding, General Gu'ao continued: "therefore, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, our headquarters hope that you will not mention this matter." As for the people, they are all very forgetful. I believe it will not be long before they forget it, and then the prestige of our army will rise again. I'm sure you, as a soldier, will agree. "

Tang long was stupefied when he heard this, and thought to himself, "threaten it?" I wonder if this can be used to set him up. " Of course, I suddenly denied it in my heart, and I didn't want to be criticized all day long. Besides, this was the decision of the entire high level of the army, and I was not stupid enough to go against all the senior officials.

Seeing that Tang long bowed his head and did not speak, General Gu'ao thought he was unwilling, and hurriedly continued: "all your comrades-in-arms have agreed, and in order to compensate you, we can meet each of you a reasonable request."

"can each of us have a reasonable request?" Tang long was surprised to ask, in his opinion, it is very simple not to mention that matter, ah, how could the senior management of the military department make such a promise?

"Yes, any request is fine as long as it is reasonable." Gu'ao smiled when he saw Tang long's appearance. Although he did not understand why senior military officials took such care of these junior non-commissioned officers, he was able to complete the task and made more achievements in this book.

"Sir, with all due respect, may I know what my comrades-in-arms are asking for?" Tang long said a little eagerly.

"Oh, this boy, dare to make a reference before making a decision." Although Gu'ao thought about it in his heart, he immediately replied, "they all asked to go to the Petty Officer College to study their major."

"Petty Officer College?" Tang long is a little confused. They are all non-commissioned officers. Why are they still entering the Petty Officer College?

When Gu'ao saw what Tang long looked like, he knew that he had misunderstood: "Oh, the Petty Officer Academy is a place for officers who are not graduated from the National Defense University to pursue further studies. Of course, it is also the best shortcut for non-commissioned officers to be promoted to junior officers, and not everyone is qualified to go there." When they come out, they are at least a second lieutenant. "

Of course, Tang long heard that Guao hinted that he asked for this, but on the one hand, he didn't like reading, and on the other hand, he was already a lieutenant.

Guao saw that Tang long frowned and was silent. He knew that Tang long didn't like it, so he opened his mouth again and said, "come on, say it and hear it. What is your request?"

"well, I wonder if the next officer can be the commander of the battleship?" Although Tang long still looked indifferent, his eyes glowed with hot light.

Gu'ao 's heart beat. He had seen the light himself, and he could see it every time he looked in the mirror. He knew very well that it was the light of longing for something, and that was the look in his eyes that longed for promotion.

Gu'ao frowned, and he didn't like to see the same look in other people's eyes. He picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "although you can be promoted to major general according to the meritorious service you made last time, there is no denying that you have disobeyed my order-stick to it!" Speaking of this, Gu'ao 's eyes glowed with indifference.

Tang long immediately bowed his head in guilt, but hummed coldly in his heart, "Damn it, stick to it?" You son of a bitch, 90% of the 10,000 self-propelled gunboats were wiped out without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, if I hadn't taken advantage of the enemy's psychological counterattack that we would flee and underestimate the enemy, and began to run before they knew it. I've become cosmic dust now! "

Seeing the way Tang long bowed his head, Guao smiled proudly and continued: "however, although you have committed a crime against military orders, you have become lighter after being detained." At the same time, because of the great service you have done, with the approval of the military Department, it is decided to promote you to captain. Even if the crime of violating the military order is eliminated, it will not be recorded in your file. Do you have a problem with such a decision? "

"No! Thank you, sir. " Tang long stood up abruptly and saluted with a bang. Although he was happy and blossoming in his heart, he still kept a cold expression on his face. Think about it, how can he have an opinion? he thought it would be nice not to be punished and demoted, but he didn't expect to be promoted to a higher level. Hehe, the 19-year-old captain would laugh in his dreams when he thought of it.
