"Those trashy officials in the bureau."
Huai Caoshi was not in a good mood. The Federation soldier named Xu Le in front of him was completely different from the description in the intelligence. He was tough and tough, but he was not the pedantic saint who truly carried the banner of morality in his heart.
He had never believed that such a person existed in the universe, and now it seemed that it was indeed so.
If Xu Le was really a freak saint, perhaps the actions of the Empire in the past few days could have really touched him. To be able to make the war hero that the Federation had spent the most effort to cultivate betray — no, even if it was just to make him doubt himself from the depths of his heart, it would definitely be of great help to the Empire's propaganda and this war.
Was it a pity? A little, but it was nothing too pitiful. It was just that there would be another dead body of the Federation in the Empire's territory.
"In the face of death, many people of the Federation would kneel and beg for mercy, but I've studied you and know that the possibility is not high. The reason why I brought you to see the scenery and let you listen to this specially arranged history lesson is to strike a blow to the moral superiority of you hypocrites of the Federation."
Huai Caoshi walked out of the campus with his hands behind his back like an old man. His face was expressionless, hiding the pity deep in his heart extremely well.
"Moral superiority … is indeed a very boring thing." Xu Le replied, "But I am really interested in this period of history. Before I die, can you satisfy my request and let me see the relevant files of the past? If you want to strike a blow to the moral superiority of the Federation people, this is very necessary. "
Huai Caoshi was silent for a moment and nodded. His subordinates disguised as civilians in the crowd behind him immediately left to arrange this matter.
The Empire's history textbook was translated into the Federation's language. It took one hour and seventeen minutes, showing extremely high efficiency.
An hour and a half later, Xu Le moved his eyes away from the e-book screen and rubbed his pale face due to weakness. He suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "According to your logic, this is the Federation's scheme. But in reality, the previous war … the first space war that you mentioned, we had already prepared for it. If we really had a conspiracy, why would we appear so unprepared? "
According to the records of the Empire's history books, the Empire had always been cautious when they first came into contact with the Federation. They would never think of attacking the scientific research ships of the Federation. In their opinion, the explosion of the scientific research spaceship was definitely a scheme of the Federation. They even provided relevant evidence to prove that the spaceship could only have been blown up by the Federation themselves.
"Because in the eyes of the Federation, we are just a bunch of monkeys, monkeys with outdated technology." Huai Caoshi coldly replied, "You guys are too impatient and underestimate the monkey's ability to resist."
It was strange to say that Xu Le should have been enduring endless torture in the Empire's black prison, just like what he had experienced in the past ten days. However, at this moment, he was in the highest class club on Planet Liban, having lunch with what was definitely the most respected figure of the Empire.
This was a high-rise building in the shape of a deformed mulberry tree. It sparkled under the sunlight. The restaurant on the top floor that had long been cleared was empty. Looking around, one could clearly see the sea of mulberry trees beneath their feet like a green carpet.
"That's all for the discussion of history. The beginning of a story does not determine the color of the entire story. Even if it is a war related to profit, it is not beyond the scope of my poor thinking. However, in the end, in my opinion, you are a group of beasts that slaughter civilians, women, and babies. This is something that cannot be changed. "
Xu Le picked up the knife and fork and began to cut the beef on the plate. His trembling right hand that held the knife showed his current weakness.
He lowered his head and asked, "Because of certain reasons, you temporarily did not kill me. I can understand. However, I still do not understand why you are willing to grant me such enjoyment."
"The you in the intelligence report does appear to be somewhat stupid and absurd in certain matters. However … someone who can develop the MX mecha must have enough wisdom to understand certain facts."
Huai Caoshi gently wiped the corner of his mouth and indifferently said, "As long as you do not work wholeheartedly for the Empire, then no matter what, no matter sooner or later, you will die in the end."
At this point, this special young Imperial officer emphasized, "But you only need to give me a satisfactory answer to two things. I can guarantee that you will die with great dignity."
"And I think that this answer should not harm the interests of your government."
"What is it?"
"The first question: You are not Li Pifu's illegitimate child. How did you manage to cultivate Yata Zhenqi?" Huai Caoshi's eyes flashed with a trace of biting cold.
Yata Zhenqi? Xu Le confirmed that this was the first time he had heard of this strange term. What was Yata? What was Zhenqi? Was it a wonderful setting in one of Master Schiller's plays? However, it seemed that the scorching heat in his body was very similar to the setting in the master's plays …
Huai Caoshi did not mind his silence and continued calmly, "The second question. This time, you passed through the space channel and ambushed the ghost fleet. You are infinitely close to success. It could even be said that you have succeeded. I cannot understand. How did you manage to follow us in the Empire's star sector by controlling a light tri-winged warship? "
At this point, he waved his hand. The subordinate who had been waiting in the distance hurriedly ran over and set up the relevant equipment by the table. With a light beeping sound, countless fine beams of light shot out from the equipment and gathered into dense light spots in the air, forming a three-dimensional star map of the Empire's border star sector.
"Even if you have the star map drawn by the Federation years ago in your hands, you can't do this alone."
Huai Caoshi's slender finger drew on the imaginary three-dimensional star map in the air and pointed at the obvious sailing trajectory. Frowning, he said, "Your sailing route was too perfect. Even if I had thought more thoroughly, assuming that you had the authorization of the Bureau of Proclamation before the crazy revenge operation, with the remote support of the Charter computer, it would not have been enough to complete such massive calculations. Besides, every time your tri-winged warship accelerated or hid, it just happened to avoid the detection range of the fleet.
"How did you do it?" He looked at Xu Le's eyes and asked solemnly, "According to the intelligence, you don't know how to pilot a warship at all."
Xu Le was silent.
The first question involved the uncle, who was known as the number one traitor of the Federation. Who knew what kind of relationship he had with the Imperium. Also, this story involved the loophole of the Federation's The Glory Of The Charter and his last hope of survival. Naturally, it was impossible for him to tell the other party.
As for the second question, it was related to his greatest secret, so it was even more impossible for him to tell.
Therefore, he could only remain silent.
Huai Caoshi raised his extremely ordinary face and said indifferently, "I won't ask you to reveal the Federation's newest technological secrets. I just need a general answer."
A moment later, Xu Le replied, "I can't tell you anything. I can only say that this revenge plan that seems impulsive is actually not impulsive at all. It's just that I didn't expect you to be on that flagship. If I hadn't met you, I would have successfully returned to the Federation by now. "
Still not getting an answer, Huai Caoshi narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura gradually enveloped the dining table.
"There's good news. The Imperium has already successfully developed a high-power dedicated signal output device. In the last experiment, it has already successfully connected to your civilian network."
Huai Caoshi looked at Xu Le with narrowed eyes and said slowly, "The video that humiliates the Federation's war hero will probably be the first document we send over."
Xu Le's right hand that was holding the knife suddenly tightened. He knew that the humiliation the other was talking about was definitely a humiliation that ordinary people would find difficult to endure. What truly made him nervous was the Empire's following arrangements.
He wasn't a narcissistic person, but he had to admit that he was now important enough to be able to affect even more people and matters, and on a much larger scale.
The Federation government had spent a huge amount of money to film and broadcast the documentary 'Team Seven'. Together with the media that covered everything, it was only then that he and his troops were molded into a brand new military idol. If that video that hadn't appeared yet was widely spread through the civilian network, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Federation's public and the military's morale.
If such a situation really did occur, the Federation government would definitely hope that this Federation hero would simply die in battle rather than be captured and humiliated by the Empire's people.
Xu Le also thought the same.
"This is very interesting. It's just like playing cards. We killed Zhong Suihu, which is a trump card. You chased after us and killed Kaedun, which can be considered as returning a hard card. Then … I captured you, the successor of the War God. I'm very curious as to what kind of trump card the Federation can return. "
Huai Caoshi's tone didn't contain any deliberate mockery. He raised an exquisite silver fork and sent a piece of tender beef into his mouth, slowly chewing.
"Why isn't it a live broadcast of me being killed?"
"Letting the entire universe watch you die, other than stimulating the Federation's desire to fight and calming your internal conflicts, what good does it do for the Empire?"
"I can let myself die," Xu Le said with a serious tone.
"The department I'm in has a lot of drugs that can be used," Huai Caoshi frowned, picked up an exquisite white porcelain salt jar, and lightly sprinkled some salt on the steak.
"Also, I understand people like you very well. You are not afraid of death, but before death truly arrives, you will stubbornly want to live on. You have strong confidence that you can live on. Therefore, unless you are certain that you will definitely die, you will never commit suicide. "
Xu Le blinked, feeling that his eyes were a bit dry. Only now did he realize that this seemingly ordinary young officer of the Empire in front of him not only had inexplicably powerful combat strength, but also had an extremely strong ability to read people's minds and to coerce them with force.
The dining table was silent. Only the sound of the silver knife and fork lightly touching the porcelain plate, and the juicy and tender sirloin touching the tongue and teeth could be heard.
Huai Caoshi was waiting for Xu Le to make a decision and give an answer.
Xu Le knew that he wouldn't give any answer. He was like he was in a bottomless dry well, looking at the trace of light that perhaps didn't exist. He was unwilling to fall into eternal darkness, but he couldn't find any solution.
Right at this time, an Empire officer walked into the dining room with a serious expression, holding an electronic spectrum record book in his hand.
Huai Caoshi narrowed his eyes and looked up.
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and looked up.
…
…
(I'm a bit late today, so this is the only chapter I have left. I still have two chapters to fill, but I'll finish them soon. Don't worry, everyone.
There seems to be a bit too much dialogue in these two chapters, probably because it's too comprehensive. After all, this is a brand new Empire with brand new relationships. I've already tried to describe as little as possible, but it's hard to change one's nature. Yesterday, there were actually a few paragraphs that I wrote very happily. I'm sure you can guess my preferences in the All Evil Novel.
