Become a Two-dimensional hero

Shen Pengfei wondered, "What are you looking at?"

Wen Mu withdrew his gaze, smiled and said, "It's nothing."

The two walked side by side. They are the supreme leaders of the country in charge of military power and political power respectively.There is no distinction between the military and the government, and the two factions check each other. The military controls force, while the government controls finances and people's livelihood. Any activity of the military needs to apply for funds from the political circles. At the same time, politicians must rely on the military if they want to maintain stability.

They walked to the conference room under the guard of the crowd. The security level of this conference room was no less than that of any command room, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

The guards around Shen Pengfei opened the door for them and then bowed and left. The participants had already arrived, sitting on both sides of the long table and waiting.Wen Mu and Shen Pengfei walked to both ends of the long table and sat down. Cui Jian and Hu Feiwei sat on Wen Mu's left and right respectively, while the other four standing committee members sat on Shen Pengfei's left and right respectively.

Shi Lei and Xia Ling sat on one side, and Qin Hai and Zhang Keyi sat on the other side.

And Hu Feiwei, who was on the same side as Qin Haizhang and Ke Yi, was separated from the two by a long distance.

After everyone was seated, Shen Pengfei turned on the projection screen in the middle of the conference table. The projection screen was divided into two, and the two raids of Baisha and Jupiter were played respectively. It was not the battle scenes, but the dilapidated city and the city after the war. The people who died: "As you can see, the enemy is getting more and more rampant. Wen Mu, I think you have to give us an explanation."

He said this bluntly, with a touch of questioning.But others have long been used to his blade-like way of speaking.Shen Pengfei is different from other politicians. Others usually have a smiling face, but they don't mention it behind their backs. At least they are friendly on the surface.

But he is different, as famous as his outstanding performance is his cold face.This man didn't even smile when he was interviewed by the news.The style of acting is also used to be vigorous and resolute. He is obviously a politician, but he is decisive with the killing of a soldier.

When he was elected president in 3190, the jaws of the crowd dropped. This young man with facial paralysis actually won 80% of the votes of the voters, winning by an absolute advantage.

He is a legend in the political world, just like Wen Mu is to the military.The five members of the Standing Committee present, except for Shen Pengfei, were all born in a family of politicians. They have been in politics for generations and have a profound background.Before Shen Pengfei was elected, the political circle was like a stagnant pool of stagnant water, with those familiar faces coming and going, either from your faction or from my faction.

Shen Pengfei, this young man from a remote planet with no contacts in the capital planet, is like a golden cudgel that goes straight to Tan's bottom, turning the political world upside down.It has gradually become the current situation, the old generation has completely retired, and fresh blood continues to flow into the political arena.

Looking at the tragic situation of the people on the projection, Wen Mu said with a serious expression: "The enemy is indeed cunning, but our defense system also has problems."

Hu Feiwei interjected: "It's not a problem, every planet is not equipped with a Titan-class mothership, so we can see where the centipede can make trouble."

Xia Ling looked at Hu Feiwei, and said in a strange way: "General Hu's idea is very good, this is the money, do you want to pay?"

Hu Feiwei snorted: "Don't dare, aren't you responsible for the finances? I dare not exceed my authority."

Zhang Keyi smoothed things over with a smile: "Okay, this idea is unrealistic. The construction of the Titan-class mothership is not only a matter of funds, but also of manpower and resources."

Cui Jian: "Everyone knows how big the star field of the Federation is. It is impossible for us to guard every planet without fail."

Shen Pengfei: "But this time it's Jupiter, the three major bases of the military, and one of the planets with the highest security index. You have no power to fight back. Jupiter is like this. How can the people have confidence in us?"

Hu Fei was angry with the case: "Jupiter's guarding force is the weakest among the three bases, and the other side has Tianlong! 50 years ago, General Wen could kill the Centipede mothership with a Huya, and the other side can naturally use it." Dragons beat us."

Shen Pengfei said coldly: "But we also have a lion heart. When you declared the project, didn't you say that it was designed to kill S-class mechs?"

Wen Mu signaled Hu Feiwei to sit down with his eyes, and then looked directly at Shen Pengfei: "The lion heart is only a semi-finished product, and we did almost defeat Tianlong, but the power of the inspiration bomb in the experiment was unpredictable, which caused Tianlong to escape in the end. "

Qin Hai suddenly said, "Speaking of Lion Heart, you shouldn't decide on his candidate, General Hu."

Hu Feiwei sat back on the chair and shrugged his shoulders: "I chose your precious son. Does Xia Standing Committee have any objections?"

The smile on Qin Hai's face paused, revealing a little fierceness: "Hu Feiwei! The eight of us should have jointly decided on the candidate for Lionheart, but you actually sent a semi-finished mech on the battlefield and made your own choice. You You have violated the criminal law!"

The two were at war with each other, Xia Ling had watched the play wonderfully, and added fuel to the fire: "The Qin Standing Committee member is right, what General Hu did was really wrong, why don't we come to vote on the spot to see if General Hu has violated the law."

Wen Mu: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. I have read the battle report. At that time, Jupiter has been completely blocked. The Tiger Shark will not arrive at Jupiter until a week later to find out that there is something wrong with Jupiter. We can't wait that long at all, S-Class The power of the mecha is unrivaled, and General Hu chose to take the risk of using Lionheart after he had made every possible resistance attempt, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that."

Cui Jian echoed: "That's right, if we hadn't activated Lion Heart, the power on Jupiter alone would not be able to resist Tianlong. Although a mysterious mech appeared later, Peregrine could not match Tianlong either. He would almost die in Tianlong's hands. If we hadn't used the Inspiration bomb in time to interrupt the signal blockade, the result of this war would have been that we would have lost everything, including Lionheart."

Qin Hai persisted: "But you can't guarantee that the lion's heart is effective, you're just betting, betting on the driver's life!"

Wen Mu said in a deep voice: "We can't guarantee it. When I drove Huya alone to intercept the Centipede, I couldn't guarantee the outcome. I was also betting. Soldiers should be like this. When they join the army, they should fight for the Federation. To give everything."

Shen Pengfei pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision: "General Wen is right, member of the Qin Standing Committee, don't lose your mind just because the selected pilot is your son."

He frowned again and looked at Wen Mu: "But we can no longer be so passive. Why did the centipede reappear after 50 years? Not only do we need an answer, but the public needs it too. Take a look at this data."

He put everything on the screen on the projector, and various financial statements appeared on the screen.

Shen Pengfei read it again: "After the Battle of Baisha Star, the market performance was not obvious, but you see now, the housing prices of Capital Star are rising at an unprecedented speed, and all kinds of escape supplies are almost looted. The flight schedule is full, and people are rushing to the capital like crazy."

He scanned the crowd and said solemnly: "This all shows a problem. Panic is spreading. We can no longer give the people a sense of security. Everyone is afraid that their planet will be the next Sequoia."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and when it came to Sequoia Star, no one could smile hippie.Five hundred and seventy-nine million eight hundred and forty-six people.This number is written on the Starlight Tower, the administrative center of Capital Star.It is the most painful blow that the Interstellar Federation Republic has suffered since its founding.

Wen Mu closed his eyes. He was one of the people who had faced the tragedy of Sequoia Star. At that time, as a major general, he led troops to Sequoia Star for rescue. The centipede organization had already escaped, leaving only the hell of blood and fire.

His voice is low and hoarse: "But our existing search methods are really useless to the centipede hiding in the universe. It is a coincidence that the trace of the centipede was captured back then."

Shi Lei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "If we want to defeat the enemy, we should first understand him. We have to find out what their purpose is. You said that the two generations of centipede organization are probably not the same group of people. The generation 50 years ago was the same group of people. A group of lunatics, a group of insane terrorists, but who is the centipede this time?"

Cui Jian: "We have been investigating, but there is no clue. If they are terrorists, they should appeal to us like 50 years ago, money and land political immunity, but they have not even communicated with us."

Shen Pengfei: "They came to Jupiter for the lion's heart, but they came to Baisha to assassinate the standing committee member Zhang. Why?"

Zhang Keyi: "I've thought about it for a long time. I shouldn't have any enemies who hate me enough to set up a centipede to assassinate me. It can only be because of political matters."

Cui Jian: "That's why it's hard to check. You issue hundreds of government orders a year, and who knows which one caused this bug."

The scene was silent again, and Shen Pengfei rubbed his forehead: "With the current conditions, we can't discuss the results. The organization behind the Peregrine Falcon's mecha doesn't know whether it is an enemy or a friend. I just want one guarantee, and the Sequoia star tragedy will never happen again." .”

Wen Mu stood up and said solemnly: "I swear on my honor, I will do my best to become the most indestructible shield of the Republic. I also swear to the 900 compatriots who died, I will bleed until I personally bury this resurrected worm."

Hu Feiwei and Cui Jian stood up at the same time, touched their military boots, and gave Wen Mu a military salute.

The five members of the Standing Committee also stood up, and Shen Pengfei said slowly: "Then please, generals."
