The military officer standing outside the window gazing into the distance had a standard military posture, not a hair out of place. The military cap on his head was worn very carefully, every strand of hair was carefully pressed into the brim of the cap. When he heard his subordinate's sigh, the thin lips exposed outside the shadows slightly pursed, his expression somewhat indifferent and gloomy.
"Two years ago on New Year's Eve, we had already failed, but reality has proven that a failure on the surface can still be exchanged for the final success."
The military officer's low voice sounded within the room. "Two years ago, there were many things I didn't understand, but now I understand, and I no longer consider myself a small figure. Because even though I am a small individual, I am part of a powerful collective, participating in the major events of the Federation, so each and every one of us … are important figures. "
The subordinate behind him stood ramrod straight. Even though this person couldn't come into contact with more specific information from the upper echelons, when he heard the military officer's words, he still felt his blood boil. Even without these hot-blooded calls, as a soldier, he would do his best to complete any mission given to him by his superiors, and he wouldn't have any doubts.
The military officer waved his hand, having his subordinate leave the room to deal with the follow-up matters, but he himself still stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the Ministry of Defense building across the street and the training center next to it through the filter film. He was still in this apartment full of military officers, even though it was only a change of unit, he wasn't worried about being discovered.
Then, he thought of the first of January two years ago.
It seemed like it was just a repeat of failure, but these two failures, for him, were extremely different.
The first failure, the important figure he followed cooperated with Senator Macklin, jointly providing information to the young officers of the Second Military Region to launch a surprise attack on Linhai Gymnasium. During this process, he was only a bystander, the memories of failure, for him, weren't too painful. Instead, it was Senator Macklin, that middle-aged man who was used to wearing synthetic sweaters … it was rumored that he died in the end, and only then was Senator Macklin exposed.
The military officer originally wanted to take out a cigarette, but because of this, he reminded himself that he couldn't leave behind any habitual traces, couldn't give those investigators in the Federation any chance to find out.
But this time, the officer was a true participant in this failure. That top-notch gunner who had died in the Wood Valley Manor was a peer he had befriended when he was young. He was an extremely outstanding professional soldier, so this failure was painful for him. He stood by the window and watched the twilight in silence for a long time, but he could only force himself to endure.
"Brother Yin Chuan, take care."
The shadow of the officer's face was faintly reflected on the glass of the window. He stared at the shadow as if he were staring at the face of the deceased, silently mourning, but he did not take off his military cap.
If the gunman had an anti-materiel rifle, he might have been able to complete the mission and escape to Bermuda. However, the Federation strictly controlled firearms, and there was no one like Mr. Shi in the circle of officers, so they had no access to the dark waters at the bottom of the Federation. If the gunman had used a long-range sniper rifle, the Federation and the Zhong family in the West Woods would have investigated a lot of things afterward.
Of course, the military officer knew the real reason why the gunman was unwilling to use a sniper rifle. It was not only to protect their collective iron will, but also because, as an outstanding professional soldier, he was unwilling to use a sniper rifle to assassinate a cute little girl. He was unwilling to do such a despicable thing, let alone let the little girl die so cruelly.
The military officer quietly looked at himself on the glass. Like the dead gunman, he also thought that assassinating an innocent little girl was a very despicable thing, but for the greater goal, they had to persevere. For the true brilliance of the universe, they could allow a few small black dots to appear in the background.
In reality, the power group that the military officer belonged to, just like two years ago, still wanted to gain some benefits from this failed assassination mission. The assassination happened in Wood Valley Manor, and the gunman's identity was a security member of the Lin family. No matter what explanation was given after the incident, the relationship between the West Woods tiger, which was already arrogant among the seven families, and the other families would probably worsen. Even the anti-government forces from Green Dragon Mountain who were about to enter the frontlines of the West Woods would probably have some problems with the West Woods military because of today's incident.
The military officer used a clear mind to make calculations like a tactical deduction. After confirming that the important person he followed did not miss anything, he sighed softly. Two years ago, if the young master of the Tai family had really died, how good would that have been? Two years later, if the little princess of the Zhong family died, the succession of the Zhong family in the West Woods would be in chaos. The brothers of the Tiger would probably rush to adopt all of their sons and daughters. How good would that have been?
Unfortunately, both plans had been ruined by that young man named Xu Le. Of course, the most important reason for this plan was that some people could not allow Xu Le to get too close to the Zhong family in the West Woods.
Xu Le was the future that the Federation had deliberately nurtured, while the Zhong family in the West Woods was an old past that was destined to be erased from history. Linking the two together was not in the Federation's interest.
The military officer silently lowered his military cap and walked out of the office. When he left, he had already calmed down.
…
…
A gunman had tried to assassinate the daughter of Commander Zhong in the West Woods and was killed on the spot in the Wood Cove Manor. Who among the important people in the Federation government and Parliament Hill did not know the importance of this young daughter to the political situation of the Federation? Countless flames of anger were instantly directed at all the powerful departments.
The Federation Investigation Bureau and the Capital Police Bureau started an investigation overnight. With the help of the Bureau of Proclamation, it only took them a short time to find out the true identity of the gunman, but it also stopped the investigation of the mastermind behind the scenes.
The gunman's surname was Chen Yinchuan, and his name was Chen Yinchuan. He graduated from the First Military Academy and was now the deputy director of the Lin family's security consultant department. However, this person had a sensitive and real identity. He was secretly serving as a military officer in the Ministry of National Defense. In fact, when he graduated from the First Military Academy to entering the Lin family as a security consultant, it was all arranged by the Federal military.
Other than the fact that he had to explain to the Zhong family in the West Woods, only Xu Le knew the truth of the joint investigation. The Ministry of National Defense asked him to keep it a secret because it involved military secrets and involved the Federation government secretly infiltrating the seven families. This was a matter of course, but it was still a shocking fact.
The seven families in the Federation were obviously very close to the senior government officials and members of parliament. However, in private, the Federation government and Parliament Hill were also counteracting the seven families. The outstanding undercover military officer named Chen Yinchuan was one of these countermeasures.
This background seemed a little interesting, but in Xu Le's eyes, it seemed particularly cold.
According to the records in the file and his understanding of the Federal military training system, he believed that this gunman had excellent abilities and was absolutely loyal to the Federation. But why did he want to kill Little Watermelon?
No one knew the real reason why Chen Yinchuan carried out this assassination, and no one could find out who was behind it. The joint investigation team only found out that when Chen Yinchuan was studying at the First Military Academy, he was once appreciated by the dean at the time, Yang Jingsong, and the two had a close relationship.
And Yang Jingsong … was the Deputy Minister of National Defense who had committed suicide in the Ministry of National Defense building because of the assassination in Linhai state.
Because of this clue, the investigation concluded that this assassination was a last-ditch counterattack by some young men of the Federal military in the context of the Federation's great reconciliation. It was a crazy revenge for the Linhai state gymnasium incident. Based on the current intelligence, this was just an independent incident, and there was not too much of a conspiracy.
Xu Le did not agree, and would not accept this conclusion of the investigation. This was because the powerful gunman was clearly not here to kill him, but to target Little Watermelon.
"Chen Yinchuan …"
He silently looked at the secret information and photos of the gunman in the electronic file. He thought about the three shots under the ancient pine on the cliff. He thought about how powerful this person was, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The universe was so big, and there were indeed too many hidden outstanding people. Xu Le had long foreseen Fatty Tian's fierceness, but this unknown officer had unexpectedly shocked him.
After destroying the electronic file, he stood up, put on the black formal suit, and walked out of the office in Whitewater Company. As soon as he walked out, he heard Magnolia's soft but exceptionally cold reprimand.
"Don't really think of yourselves as mercenaries … You should know that I am the only one in Group 7 who does not have a military record."
"You are real soldiers, carrying out the orders of the Ministry of National Defense … I can't believe you can be so careless. Even if you are mercenaries, do you want to let the person you are protecting be in danger alone? What's more, you should know that he is our supervisor, our leader! "
"After returning to the military camp for more than a year, all of you have completely forgotten the meaning of killing without batting an eyelid. So when the supervisor was pointed at by a gun, none of you thought that he would die. Is that why none of you were by his side?"
Magnolia smiled slightly, but her smile was incomparably sarcastic. "I know that our supervisor is very strong, stronger than any of you, but no matter how strong he is, he is only one person, and you … Are you going to be his last bulletproof vest, his last dagger? Or are you saying that in the future on the battlefield, you are counting on our supervisor to protect you?"
"Where were you at that time? Do I need all of you to protect that little girl? Do you really expect me to follow him alone … Don't forget that I was just discharged from the hospital. "
The 18 men of Group 7 stood in the aisle obediently as Magnolia, whose black hair swayed in front of her forehead, mocked and scolded them. Magnolia had a gentle temperament, but the violent members of Group 7 were as obedient as a row of quails in front of her. Of course, Lan Xiaolong, who was shrugging at the moment, was an exception.
Because Xu Le was shot by the gunman in Wood Valley Manor, Magnolia was really in a bad mood. Looking at her former subordinates, she naturally did not have any kind words to say. Although she still spoke softly, there was an indescribable coldness.
Xu Le, who walked out of the door, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Magnolia's back for a moment. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and interrupted her scolding. "Prepare the car, we are going to accept the mission."
Magnolia's body trembled slightly, and then she slowly raised her head and said softly, "Yes."
A few minutes later, the dark green paramilitary motorcade drove out of the Whitewater Company base and along the ring highway of the capital, Special City, came to a quiet group of villas in the southern suburbs.
The people who lived in these villas were all rich and powerful, and this did not exceed the expectations of the members of Group 7 regarding the residence of the national idol girl. The most popular idol girl in the universe had been away from the public eye of the Federation for as long as a year. Thinking that they would be responsible for her safety in the future, even these ruthless people who used to kill and set fire at the edge of the universe all year round couldn't help but feel a little expectant and curious.
However, this group of ruthless people was stopped in front of the villa with a courtyard.
