Empire Revenge Edible Raiders [Interstellar]

The Commonwealth seems to have always favored white and blue, whether it's clothing, flags, or architecture.The pure nobility of white and blue is their aesthetic.

Walking in the corridor of the Federal Parliament, Lin Qijie murmured in his heart, anyway, he was surrounded by heavy soldiers, staring at him as if he would take out a mecha from his pocket at any time and start a killing spree, Lin Qijie also You can only pass the time with this kind of fruitless loose thinking.

The flag is a blue sky with a white moon, and the building tone is also white. The entire parliament seems to be composed of white bricks.Is that a brick?He couldn't confirm it, he couldn't see the material.In short, it looks holy and noble, like a temple.The major general of the empire narrowed his eyes and looked at the surrounding layout, very dutifully as an enemy soldier, he estimated in his heart where to attack from which would cause the greatest damage.

Along the way, he was taken to the center of the main hall of the parliament as if he was facing an enemy.Surrounding him was a circle of black metal wires. Although his hands and feet were not bound humanely, but looking at these cold metal wires, Lin Qijie estimated that if he tried to rush out of this area, he would probably receive a terrible electric shock. , although it is quite embarrassing if it is not fatal, it is estimated that it will be miserable.

All kinds of people sat on the stairs going up on all sides.Some are physical entities, but most of them can be seen at a glance as electronic projections, which are congressmen who cannot rush over.Since you don't need to be there in person, why do you have to let me come over, and make your people vigilant and panic like that, so that you can execute the execution directly at the main entrance steps later?Lin Qiyu slandered.

Members of the Federal Assembly looked at the Imperial Major General standing there with curious eyes, so strange that they were simply watching monkeys.With all kinds of eyes, some people are afraid of the famous enemy, some people are surprised to see a character who only existed on the literal and virtual screens in the past, as if there is no difference from the existence in history , while others convey distinct hostility, even hatred.

For this kind of hostility, Lin Qijie just responded with a smile, which was different from the usual girlish and quiet smile, and responded to the enemy with a sharp and knife-like smile.

He also saw Ellis, not in the parliamentary bench, but in the public gallery.The latter's complexion was much better than when he saw it before.The lieutenant general is not used to showing weakness in front of others. Although he looked pale on the day we met, when we met again at this time, his expression was cold and unpredictable. Even Lin Qijie didn't know what he was thinking.

There were two executive chairmen attending this meeting. The other one, Lin Qijie, heard that he was dismissed because of a huge corruption scandal, and would even face prison. He didn't want to think about this unfortunate executive chairman What does it have to do with the "political enemy" that Shure Packard said with a smile when he left and ordered the rescue to be abandoned, which caused the two of them to be trapped on the deserted star.

The court began to state the identity of the person to be tried this time: "Lin Qijie, an imperial soldier with the rank of major general, the following is the main crime..."

The same thing, which is an honor in the empire, becomes a sin in the federation.Lin Qijie listened nonchalantly to them repeating the battles he had won. The struggle history of the imperial boy who entered the army at the age of 11 from a small soldier to the position of major general by his own ability is obviously his own personal experience. , at this time from other people's mouth, it becomes quite distant.

Although only nine years have passed, it sounds like someone else's story. Time is a wonderful thing.

"Now bring up the agenda."

About my disposition.Lin Qijie thought in his heart.

Although the federal and imperial wars continue, they are not frequent in a wide range, so it is not a situation where you must live or die.What's more, the two sides have already signed the treaty.If the Commonwealth abides by the treaty, he should be protected by humanitarianism, which means that the Commonwealth shall not subject him to physical mutilation and scientific experiments, shall not allow him to be subjected to intimidation, humiliation and public curiosity, prohibits retaliatory measures, and, of course, No mental or physical torture can be used to obtain information

——Although the last point is generally not complied with by both sides.

But the Federation has cunning countermeasures.The treaty itself serves prisoners of war, so if they will, they define some of them as "disarmed enemies" -- disarmed, imprisoned, but still enemies, not prisoners of war.If this group of people really gave him this trick, then Lin Qijie's fate might not be so clear, and he still doesn't know how he will be treated.

Of course, the worst thing is defined as a war crime, the Federation will kill him.Maybe the Empire will avenge him?

Those MPs are constantly putting forward opinions, which in Lin Qijie's view are all innocuous nonsense.He listened absently, and did not look away until the speaker asked Lieutenant General Ellis to speak as a key witness.

The main event is coming.

Standing in the public gallery, Ellis overturned his previous proposal that he must be executed, and he agreed to release Lin Qijie on the condition of ransom.As soon as his voice fell, this inconsistent statement attracted whispers in the parliamentary seats.

"Lieutenant General Ellis, we have to point out some doubts about the reasons for your inconsistent proposal." The executive chairman of the Federation, who is the speaker this time, looked at Ellis suspiciously. He had obviously heard some rumors before, so The point raised was also very sharp, "Can you admit with the honor of the Federation that you have nothing to do with Major General Lin Qijie other than enemies?"

Elliston lives.

From speaking to now, he has never glanced in Lin Qijie's direction, but at this moment he raised his head and stared at a congressman sitting opposite him.Lin Qijie glanced in the direction he was looking. Although the person Ellis was looking at had brown eyes, his appearance was very similar to him.This is... his father?

"...I can't." Ellis finally said, he still didn't look at Lin Qijie.

The expression of the congressman sitting there changed several times, and he looked ashamed and annoyed. He gave Ellis a hard look, and the projected photon body flickered and disappeared directly from the seat.

Ellis did nothing but look away.

"Then it's a pity that your proposal cannot be used as strong evidence." The speaker shook his head regretfully. "Now, everyone, please vote."

"Speaker, although this is your home stadium, may I interrupt you for a while?" The person who interrupted was Shure Packard who had not spoken before. He was smiling, and looked accommodating but reliable.

The speaker froze for a moment, and replied politely: "Of course, you have the qualifications." Although their positions were the same, his respect seemed to be that the much younger Shure Packard was the chief.

He possesses terrifying charisma.Probably because he recognized the essence of this person at first glance, and then his impression became worse and worse. It was only when Lin Qijie saw this scene that he realized it.Shree Packard is always manipulating those around him to make them feel important and loved, and they all genuinely love him, praising his character and ability, but no one in the middle feels that they are being Take advantage, this guy is really scary enough.

Shure Packard stated his opinion about the value of Lin Qijie, the unequal threat and the response the empire will take if wrong measures are taken. He said it very provocatively, but it sounded extremely sincere , completely different from Ellis's simple expression that was so cold that it would cause disgust. Lin Qijie saw that many people kept nodding along with his words.

"I sincerely hope that everyone can adopt the correct judgment, because this is all for the benefit of the Federation. Of course, no matter what the final result is, it is up to you to choose."

"You choose." The MPs repeated in low voices.

"You choose" is the national motto of the Commonwealth, which stands for the constant pursuit of freedom and justice of self-worth - or so they say.Contrast this with the "tall as royalty" of the Empire.

The passage of time is so dull that it makes people anxious, except for the occasional whispering, there is no other movement.Lin Qijie closed his eyes, quietly waiting for his end.

If I was sentenced to death, would you run away with me?

Before the trial, Lin Qijie smiled at Ellis while changing his clothes.As a prisoner, the place where he lives is all monitored, but Ellis has the authority to stop monitoring for a period of time.

At that time Ellis just looked at him with ice-gray eyes and asked: Where are you going?

empire?Waste liquid?Anything, anywhere.

I am a general of the Federation, and it is absolutely impossible to go with you. This is treason.At that time, the lieutenant general loyal to the Federation had a deep voice, and then he said.But the day I unshackle you and shoot myself in the heart with a gun, I'll let you go, wherever you go, as long as you're free, as long as you're happy.At that time, Ellis, who loved Lin Qijie, said so.

He heard the Speaker holding the voting results and reading the data above. "One of 980 supports conditional release, 43 for re-investigation, 82 of which are neutral, and [-] of which support the death penalty. None of the proposals passed two-thirds, and the judgment was postponed."

postpone?Lin Qijie opened his eyes and looked at Shure Packard in astonishment. The latter seemed to have been staring at him for a long time, and found that Lin Qijie looked over and gave him an easy-going smile full of falsehood—but it seemed that he was hiding something. something else.

What a hassle.Lin Qijie glanced at the people present, curled his lips.In the empire, the matter can be resolved directly by the emperor's order, but after all, this is the "freedom" of the federation.

The author has something to say:

Part of the treatment of prisoners refers to the Geneva Convention. It is the US imperialism who plays the "disarmed enemy". The treatment of prisoners by the United States is good enough.But really understanding the treatment of the German army after World War II is really...shocking.Don't stand on both sides, let's say war as a half-peace lover (by the way, I just went to the theater to watch "Dunkirk", how should I say emmm

In terms of setting, the federation became an independent empire back then, and its name was westernized, but its language and inheritance culture are common. Now its economy is more developed, and it values ​​freedom. The flag is blue sky and white moon, and the national motto is "You choose".The empire adheres to the old imperial system, the flag is golden and red, and the national motto is "as high as the royal family" (and I don't care, I don't care, the setting is written anyway (rolling)
