The face-changing was faster than flipping a book, and the blond man became enthusiastic and polite again, and stretched out his hand with a look of honor: "The Harmony Group has always supported the Allied Defense Forces and also cared about the welfare of veterans. I heard that Charles Mr. is holding a lecture tour on the moon, running for the mayor of Bailey (the largest crater on the moon), and our group is willing to assist Mr. in a charity fundraising!"
As a veteran, and hearing such disrespectful remarks just now, any decent person should sneer and reject such low-handed tactics as mockingly as the Deputy Executive.Money is indeed a very useful thing, but money cannot buy everything.
"thanks."
Mr. Charles Sr. is 80 years old, but apart from his hair color he still looks healthy and young.In today's era, life extension surgery based on advanced cloning technology has greatly extended people's life expectancy. Although it is a bit exaggerated, many rich people have broken the limit of 150 years old. If this technology cannot solve the problem of brain cell death I am afraid that the dream of eternal life has already been realized.But again, cloning technology is extremely expensive and in the hands of a few large groups is enough to keep most people out.Lieutenant General Charles had obviously undergone surgery, and would definitely need surgery in the future, just like no matter what he thought, the campaign needed funds. No one could match the combined offensive of money and smile of this handsome blond man.
The two held hands, but Charles still had the last stubbornness: "Although I appreciate all the support, my campaign platform and my goals will never change. I think the United Earth has reached the last moment of reform. We must Really do something that benefits the people."
"Yes, yes, this is also the goal of our group, to serve the people!" The deputy executive said happily, holding Charles' hand tightly, "Our company is especially interested in the 'resource recycling' plan you advocated, Can we have a good chat after this?"
There is no doubt that the conversation between the pair was too long and too obvious, and the bailiff had to solemnly remind the two of them, and almost enforced to send them out of this place.At this time, the trial was about to end, and it was beyond everyone's expectations.
Admiral Matthew pleaded guilty.
But this tall man did not admit any accusations against him, whether he used his power for personal gain, or he privately mobilized the colonial garrison fleet, he denied them all. He explained everything he had experienced bit by bit, but in the end, he shouted loudly.
"I'm guilty!"
As soon as this remark came out, the court was in an uproar. The fat and white judge rang the hammer and called for silence.
"Defendant Matthew Bunker, you denied all the allegations just now, but now you admit that you are guilty. Are you going to overturn all your testimony just now?"
"No, Your Honor, I am guilty, but it is not on your list, nor is it in any of the books of law, and my crime cannot be tried in this small room, it requires the whole earth It is for the society to face it, not for everyone present."
"Defendant Matthew, the courtroom is not the place for you to put on a show, and your words will not help this trial in any way..."
"Because I don't care about this trial at all!"
Matthew roared, like a lion roaring, the sound shook the audience, and it was much more effective than the judge's hammer.Many people were taken aback, including the judge. Immediately, several black-clothed bailiffs were about to come to control the "out-of-control" Matthew, but Matthew, who was in shackles, turned his head suddenly, with those deep and ruthless eyes Combined with his majestic face, the bailiff was stunned for a moment.
"I'm not interested in playing this game with you, you care, but I don't care, I don't care whether it's hanging or 1000 years in prison, I don't care who I take responsibility for, there is only one thing I care about! I care about you One thing that should be cared about, but deliberately turned a blind eye!"
He shouted again, looking straight at the familiar figures on the jury. Shu Mo shrank back again, like a mouse who dare not look directly at a cat.
This trial is facing the entire United Earth, and countless cameras are aimed at this place. This is the best opportunity. Now no one can stop Matthew from telling the truth about everything, and they can't even think about cutting off the live broadcast line.
"My crime is that I didn't mobilize more troops to annihilate the United Human Powers Council, and didn't wipe out the greatest enemy of this earth civilization in one fell swoop, because if we miss this opportunity, what we have to face is no longer a world far away from the earth. A traitor to humanity, but a hostile alien civilization."
"Although they are both human beings, they completely abandon the values of the entire earth and become a complete alien species. I have fought against them, and I have spent 20 soldiers' lives in exchange for this lesson. I have to tell the entire United Nations here. Earth issued a warning—this Human Federation is not a so-called small group of terrorists, what happened in the Lutan galaxy is just the beginning, they are here, and they have this motive and the ability to completely destroy our civilization!"
The judge slammed the hammer, and the fat face under the wig was already sweating profusely: "Silence! Quick, let him stop!"
Two bailiffs held down Matthew from left to right, but they couldn't and couldn't gag Admiral Matthew's mouth, so Matthew was still roaring, facing the venue and looking out of the camera at the same time, watching the trial through the Internet everyone.It was only at this time that someone in the jury seat reacted and asked to cut off the live broadcast immediately, but so many spectators all raised their smart projection bracelets, and this gadget, which is more advanced than mobile phones, immediately recorded this extreme scene .
Admiral Matthew is screaming, and he is conveying a warning to this civilization.
"They are not ordinary terrorists. They have a complete army. Don't believe what the media tells you. Can terrorists destroy the navy's main fleet?"
"We found them, they found us, they refused to return to civilization, and they attacked."
"The media and politicians are lying to you, they are not ready to face reality, but in fact they are already at war with us, we are already at war. Their actions have caused millions of casualties , Those people who starved because of the residents of Rutan, those who were starved because of the interruption of shipping, were all done by them, this people will not show mercy to us, they have no human values, and even abandoned the human form."
"They're not human, repeat, don't think of them as human!"
PS: Back to the mainline.
Chapter [100] Let's become one!
"Defendant: Matthew Bunker, who seriously disturbed the order of the court, and was temporarily taken back to custody for retrial. This court temporarily suspends the trial, and the follow-up deliberation will be notified in the announcement—"
The fat judge slammed down the hammer heavily, and he opened his mouth and announced loudly, almost at the same time.
"Retire!"
A cry broke through the dark clouds, and the thing called the truth was like a ray of light shining in the hearts of lost people, giving everything a direction, but it also made the behind-the-scenes people who had been unwilling to admit and tried their best to cover up this information flustered.The judge’s announcement of his withdrawal from the court did not mean anything at all. When people from all walks of life listened to General Matthew’s throat-breaking cry, they were at a loss at first, then surprised, and then whether they came to support or oppose it. Matthew's men stood up, left their seats and pressed against the railing in the middle of the courtroom.
The expressions of these people are different, but the most indispensable thing is the panic with a clear space, and the curiosity with a trepidation.The crowd crowded forward, they stretched out their hands, and the camera on their wrists pointed at Matthew in the center, pushing and shoving even the bailiffs could hardly stop the crowd. Countless voices rang out, noisy but converging into many similar questions.
"Admiral Matthew, is what you said true?!"
"You mean war, and we're already at war? But the United Earth Government says it's just a bunch of pirates..."
"What order did they give you to investigate what happened to the expedition of the fleet?"
"Can you tell me more about the People's Federation? Apart from the solar system, how can there be humans in other galaxies?"
"..."
It's messed up, everything is messed up.Although the cameras set up in the court have been cut off, the personal smart bracelets of the people present are recording a large number of videos, and the live broadcast of China Unicom's social media is ongoing.Whether it's free speech or otherwise, the reality is that there's no way anyone can shut down the internet before what's going on here gets out - damn Matthew, we've already talked!You follow the script honestly, we will exonerate you, everyone is happy, why did you betray us!
Compared with the swarming crowd of spectators, the bigwigs sitting on the jury should appear calm and restrained.Most of these people in suits and leather shoes watched the farce in the arena with gloomy faces. Except for the occasional whispering, some people who were already extremely impatient simply picked up the electronic cigarette and took a strong puff. walk away.
And damn Matthew, this man with a gloomy face like an eagle no longer has the appearance of making a speech before. The eyes buried in the shadows in the deep eye sockets also looked at the person who left the scene at an oblique angle. Looking back, the corners of his mouth could not help but be slightly outlined, as if a certain wish had been fulfilled.
"Leave the court, please leave, don't disturb the order!"
Supporting bailiffs rushed into the courtroom, built a human wall in the crowd and escorted Matthew out of the courtroom. In the process, Matthew Bunker walked out of the courtroom with his head held high like a victor, and the scene was filmed The photo with countless exaggerated titles became the biggest headline on the front pages of major media in an instant. Through the public opinion network that penetrated into all aspects of the entire society, the entire sun will know about this in a day.
"Admiral Overturns Charges, Are We Engaging an Unknown War? "
"The Failed Expedition-Whether the Pirates Who Can Annihilate Half of the Survey Fleet Really Exist"
"The Lutan galaxy was attacked for half a year, how many undeciphered truths are there"
"The United Earth Government really never expected that the situation they worked so hard to maintain would be broken so easily, and it was their own people who broke it. They didn't realize that the balance is fragile, and they worked hard to maintain the deadlock for 200 years Already broken, when the flood waters crossed the levee, it was bound to be unstoppable."
And just thinking about it all makes me want to laugh out loud!How could this keep Daniel from holding back, how could this "overseer bishop" not want to celebrate by gulping himself a glass of Martian brandy?
No one thought of it, not even myself, but everything happened like this, the opportunity came suddenly, and fate would always favor the despicable villain.Daniel wanted to drink the wine in his hand, but he couldn't.He put down his wine glass—"The Pope fans have summoned you, Supervisor."
The white-clothed waiters pressed their bodies against the heavy stone gate, and opened a crack leading to this simple and solemn hall with manpower rather than others.The scarlet god seal is engraved on the stone gate, on which are written the sacred motto handed down from the sage Altman and the obscure "dense pattern" from the god seal.The two stone gates are not fully opened, because not everyone is equal on the way to the Holy One, and those who grasp more "truth" will be closer to ascension, and the gate will be opened wider, and Daniel is the "Supervisor Bishop" So the temple gate will only be half open.
The door is half open, but Daniel has to hold his hands in front of his chest and make an absolutely submissive posture. You have to bury your head in your chest, and your eyes can only see your toes, so that you can appear pious.All evil, lies, and disrespect will be severely punished in this sanctuary summoned by the "lost". A red carpet stretches under the feet, which is both a road and a direction. Ordinary believers are not allowed to stand here , They must crawl to the feet of the "lost man" on all fours to show their obedience to the truth, and even Daniel must take small steps, otherwise the apologist monks here are ready to execute the "teaching law" at any time.
Don't get me wrong, Guiyi Sect strictly forbids any destruction of the body, because the body is the carrier of spirituality and the belonging of life, so bleeding is not acceptable.In this regard, you can learn about the Altman sculpture in the center of the hall.The great saint opened his arms. The church cast the statue in gold and silver and polished it to shine in every detail. At the feet of the saint, a group of men and women in white clothes were prostrating. The saint's feet are both snuggling and lifting.They stretched out their hands, looking up, like babies eager for the wisdom of the saints. If it weren't for the fact that these were real corpses, I would have thought they were a group of sculptures.
Violating religious law, disrespecting fans of the Holy See, and betraying the religion?Oh no, poor child, what has clouded your eyes and polluted your heart, why have you cast aside truth, goodness and beauty and become blind, envious and suspicious?You need enlightenment from wisdom, and we will provide salvation - sleep, drink it, inhale it, this is a special drug made by the church, it will make you sleep temporarily in your sweetest dreams, don't worry, because No matter how long it takes, you'll wake up again.
On the appointed day.
The outside world has been circulating that the church uses living people as sacrifices. Let us clarify here that this is not a rumor.But this is not entirely correct, because what we want is not a living person, but a complete body, and they are all voluntary.
Before arriving at the place of the fan, the voice has already been heard.There was no wavering in Daniel's heart. He came to the dark statue of God Seal in the center of the hall. There was a seat under the statue. A man in a red robe was holding a girl in white in his arms, looking at the girl in his arms kindly. The girl in the corner had a flushed little face.The girl with baby fat leaned on the shoulder of the fan, with her eyes closed, the delicate face under the long eyelashes looked like a doll, but at this time the girl's chest no longer rose and fell, and her soft body was at the mercy of others , became a real doll.
On the right hand of the fan is holding a silver metal vial, just now he opened the bottle and let the girl drink the liquid in it, and in just 12 seconds, she kept this charming smile forever in this world.
At this time, the lost also saw the comer.The fan is not as old as imagined, he is a middle-aged man with good looks, the first time he saw him, he gave people the warmth like sunshine, he opened his mouth to call Daniel, his expression was close and enthusiastic, just like the old man who has been there for many years Like a friend: "Bishop Daniel, in this dark season, I see the light of salvation in you! You have good news to tell me, don't you?"
But Daniel actually only met this Pope once, and that was the time when this "lost man" took office.The Guiyi Religion system is strict, except for the believers who donate at the bottom, the "preachers" trained by the seminary, the real leadership is divided into two classes: "priests" and "supervising bishops", and the top "fans" "It was jointly elected - elected?It's strange, which fan has not stepped on countless corpses to take the position by coercing and luring?
Daniel also had a big smile on his face. He was fatter, so he looked a lot more kind, and he kept a safe distance to salute the fan very politely, as if he hadn't seen the fan holding a girl in his hands.But if he didn't mention it, the necrophilia of fans would also take the initiative to mention it.
"Poor child, her father was a priest of the Lutan system. When the pirates came and incited the mob to burn the whole city, the child's parents were brutally killed for preventing unbelievers from desecrating the peace of the body .”
So, so this child becomes your plaything?She looked 14 years old.
"Little Jenny has been very sad, but she is a pious child. She is just sad that her parents lost their remains and cannot wait until the rebirth with honor. I tried my best to comfort her, but the little girl made a decision."
The patriarch's hand was gently placed on the girl's fair forehead, then touched the nose, lips, a straight line through the canyon between the chest, and finally placed between the legs under the white dress, as if savoring and admiring A toy with a smile on his face that never changes, as if the smile was stuck on his face with glue.
"Little Jenny said that she would serve me all her life, but she was worried that time would make her lose her current beauty, so she begged me to freeze her life so that when the new birthday comes, she can remain young forever."
Daniel's smile remained unchanged, and he praised: "What a child, if the world is as devout as her, how wonderful it would be."
"After the crisis on Star Rutan, the church's activities in the colonies became much more flexible, and more suffering brothers and sisters joined the church, so there are more and more devout believers."
The lost man handed over the sleeping little angel to the apologist friar who was covered in white robes and kept his eyes hidden. No matter what happened to the body, it might appear in the lost man's dormitory, or it might be related to the sculpture. Like the others, after making a specific shape and embalming it, such specimens are still worth a few cents in high society——Daniel didn't care, he just followed the words of the fans.
"In the past six months, the United Earth Government has tried their best to block the news. Their attitude is very firm, that is, to prevent people from knowing the truth of the war and the incompetence of the Earth Government. For this reason, they even gave up their suppression of the Church. The power is concentrated to block the intruders everywhere, and our space has been expanded like never before!"
"This is not a problem that can be solved by buying a few congressmen, a few shell companies, and controlling a few colonies." The fan agreed, "The politicians of the United Earth Government have been taking our money but not doing our business. , has always maintained suppression of the church, and our power has always been difficult to penetrate into the core-this has been the case for more than a hundred years, but today is different."
"This People's Federation is a natural ally of the church, my old friend. Do you think this People's Federation is the righteous people mentioned by the prophet, and they are here to help those in need?"
"I'm not sure about this, but the timing of the People's Federation is exactly what we need. They are digging the lifeblood of the United Earth Government. Like us, they want to attack UEG, so cooperation can be put on the agenda .”
The lifeblood of the United Earth, if you can't understand this, you can't understand why UEG can still pretend like nothing happened when a big war breaks out.Using various methods and means to strictly prevent the defense, the result is that such a funny thing happened today.
You know how ordinary people think about the loss of an expeditionary fleet of the Janissaries Navy?The answer is, they don't.
They didn't know about it at all. It wasn't until the news of the accident in the Lutan Galaxy that the Federation of People announced its existence on the United Earth network that the general public began to realize that something was happening around them.But this was not enough, because in the overwhelming media publicity that followed, this incident became "an unexpected terrorist attack", and UEG quickly listed the self-proclaimed People's Federation as a terrorist and mobilized the army to recover Entered the Lutan galaxy, pretending that everything was under control.
But soon, several more colonies were attacked, and the paper could not contain the fire.The attack on the colony's transportation resource route caused social and economic turmoil in the solar system, but UEG strengthened information control this time, and when someone finally realized that something was wrong and began to pursue it, they found a scapegoat.
Yes, they took Admiral Matthew Bunker to court half a year after the Survey Fleet was decimated, and the Lutan system was attacked, and used him to draw public outrage.
"Inside news, at first they were planning to let Matthew plead guilty in court, and then through the operation to make the evidence insufficient to bypass the death penalty, he was imprisoned first, and finally the major incident was reduced." The fan said casually. The internal influence is hard to say, but it is easy to get any information. "Politicians have always been good at this kind of operation. After the public's anger is transferred, Matthew will be released on medical parole due to illness, and a low-key retrial. Because of insufficient evidence, he is completely innocent and the official is restored. It is not difficult to get a job-but who would have expected that the general would not play his cards according to the routine?"
That's right, everyone agreed to act, why did you suddenly take it seriously?
"More importantly, everything he said in court completely negates everything UEG said."
You say that the People's Federation is nothing to worry about, pirates and terrorists?No, that was a formidable foe, one that was difficult to defeat and one that is now full of hostility and hatred towards UEG!General Matthew, as a person who has really fought against the People's Federation, his words must be believed no matter what, as long as there are people.
"For 200 years, the United Earth Government has tried its best to suppress the armed forces of the major colonies and strictly guard against uncontrolled force. Because they are afraid of a repeat of the past, the current government was the product of the colonial army's rebellion against the old sovereign alliance. They must strictly control the army. Otherwise, the people will rise up."
In order to achieve this, they have to firmly control the government army and crack down on any illegal armed forces. This is something that the Guiyi Church has a deep understanding of. Only recently has it come to fruition.But what is really important is that UEG has been haunting the myth of the "invincible" invincibility of the Allied Defense Forces.
No one can defeat the Land Guards, no matter what the enemy is.Both pirates and terrorists will be wiped out in the face of absolute strength, so each colony only needs to keep one security team, and the rest will be handed over to the Allied Defense Forces. Everyone has felt this way for 200 years, and there is no problem with it.
But an army general personally admitted that the Allied Defense Forces had encountered an invincible opponent.
Then this logic is easy to deduce, and we can also understand why both the fans and the supervising bishop are so happy.How will the public understand it?It was precisely because the Allied Defense Forces were unable to defeat their opponents that the Rutan galaxy was attacked, and the Allied Defense Forces continued to encircle and suppress terrorists, but sporadic news of attacks still came from half a year later. It seemed that the colonies outside the solar system had fallen into a crisis. There is a sea of flames, so what should the residents of the solar system who account for [-] to [-]% of the total population do without colonies?Once the materials are blocked, the whole society will collapse quickly!
And what do the people in the colonies think?The Land Guards can't defend themselves, so they're on their own - anyone capable will take up arms, and once they have a common platform they can form an army... how like, Didn't you start out like UEG to defeat the Sovereign Alliance?
Guiyijiao is laughing, laughing out loud, even though everything has just begun, but like the first domino is pushed down, then the chain reaction is in the near future.In this process, a person with a little bit of brains can fly into the air and get a rare opportunity in a century, let alone a huge organization?
"It is precisely because of this that I summoned you. Daniel, among all the bishops, you are the most active, capable and courageous one. You can always seize opportunities, and this is no exception. And I most need It's your suggestion."
Daniel leaned over to pay his respects, and the fan asked, "Will UEG fail?"
"No, UEG is only restrained by themselves, and they still have an absolute advantage. Maybe it is not enough to destroy the People's League, but it will not be enough for the People's League to destroy itself. In fact, we are the ones who can destroy UEG. The people who suffer in this world — and the people are our supporters."
"Yes, talent is the real power. Every failure, hunger, illness, and torture of UEG has brought countless fresh blood to the church." The fan smiled and nodded, "What UEG cannot grasp will be mastered by us." , They are on the bright side and we are in the dark. The arrival of the People's Federation has shaken UEG's control. We will fill these spaces and become the real controllers of this society...So, will the People's Federation fail?"
"If the United Earth Government tries its best, the People's Federation will fail. We are not ignorant of them. Douglas has sent more news to the Church than the government. This People's Federation may have some advantages to defeat the invasion of the Earth Defense Forces." , but they were too small to take the initiative to attack, and the insurrection in the colonies was only a small force - as few as a dozen ships, it is said."
"That's right, they seem to have a god seal in their hands. It seems that they still don't know much about the god seal. With us, 'baptized' comrades."
The fan said solemnly, Daniel knew what the meaning of baptism was - it was not something that high-ranking people like them would like to talk about in detail, but they were not willing to be baptized anyway.
The divine seal should be a prop they use to gain power, not to be controlled by themselves, otherwise, what's the point?
"The longer time passes, the more irresistible the power of hypnosis. I suggest that without delay, the Church should take the initiative to contact the Human Federation, and we can take control of the Divine Seal on the condition that we deal with UEG together. Your Holiness, in this world Only we know how to understand the power of the God Seal, if another Guiyi Sect rises among the other party..."
Well, heretics are more hateful than heretics, and this must not be tolerated.
"The Land Defense Navy is frequently mobilized to defend the colony. It is not difficult to lose a ship at this time, but it is a pity." It took so much trouble, that damned engineer."
"We can prepare with both hands, Your Majesty—on the one hand, contact Lian, and on the other hand, the chief of Ganymede Titan Space City has been conducting experiments with the seal of God, and we can take advantage of it."
If successful, without words, the world will be saved!
If it fails?That's no big deal either.
"This People's League is not enough to fear, but it is enough to make UEG fear, let them fight each other, kill each other, and we will continue to grow, the only winner is still only us, the agreed day will still come, when the time comes."
Fanzhe and Daniel folded their hands together, like a twisted and twisted divine seal, and made a gesture of twin towers with the backs of their hands facing each other, and recited the hymn of Guiyijiao together.
"Let's become one!"
PS: Guys, the bugle has been updated on average every two days recently. On the one hand, there is something wrong, and on the other hand, the previous linkage writing was a bit hurt, with an average of 6.7.8K per day, and my thoughts are a little weak.
But the main storyline is back on track. In May, tomorrow, as a working people, I will have a day off with you all, and then I will try my best to complete this story that I have conceived for half a year.
In the vast universe, there must be a magnificent battle worthy of it!On the last day of April, please don't let the tickets in your hands disappear in vain, just give them to me! ! !
Chapter [101] Escape from this fire
The signal of the gate turns green and opens for the dusty visitors.
The bailiffs in black brought Matthew in the orange prison uniform into the small room made of transparent glass. There was no hole at all, and the voice could only be transmitted by a two-way answering machine.A glass separates freedom, and distinguishes identities from the inside and the outside. When Matthew sat on the chair and put his shackled hands on the table and propped up his chin, a man with a serious face came in from the other side of the metal door. A man with a red beard, his white navy uniform is very eye-catching, and he does not wear a military rank.
Of course, he is the Minister of the Navy, there is no need for that, who doesn't know him here?It is also because of this that special prisoners like Matthew Bunker may be released from the high-level containment area to talk to people, even though "Mr. Wells, you have 15 minutes, this is the rule."
