The last scene seen by the people of the Federation was independently photographed by the Charter Bureau's three-winged ship. In the final scene, the Imperial people's flagship turned into a dazzling and vigorous fireworks in Jingning space after a series of violent explosions. Then, even the three-winged ship disappeared into the vast universe.

The culprit of the attack on the ancient clock was confirmed, and the famous butcher general of the empire was killed, which made many people in the upper class of the Federation excited. However, Xu Le's news was gone, but this joy of revenge was reduced to the lowest point.

That night, the federal news channel authorized by the government turned to a black and white monochrome broadcast, and all advertisements and entertainment programs stopped. The news anchor reported to hundreds of millions of federal citizens the news of the attack on the Ancient Clock to hundreds of millions of federal citizens, and claimed that the special forces sent by the federal military had successfully destroyed the shameless imperial fleet.

The repeated news is the life of Zhong Shouhu, the commander of the Xilin Military Region. The federal government spared no effort to promote the great achievements of this tiger on the front line for more than ten years.

The prosperous and safe Shanglin District was shocked, the distant and lonely Donglin District was shocked, and the entire federal society was shrouded in a miserable fog. If the federal government had not announced the news of successful revenge, this low mood might have directly aroused social uneasiness.

As for... the Xilin region, which guards the federal border like a stubborn orphan, was already in hysterical anger and sadness.

"Three moons climbed up, shining on the wild vegetables in my sister's basket. Three moons fell down and ate all the wild vegetables made by my sister. Three moons disappeared, sister was gone, three moons rose, when will you come back?"

Just like the helpless and angry feeling revealed by this folk song that originated decades ago, just as Zhong Shouhu sighed at Xu Le in the restaurant, the Xilin people felt uneasy and sad, thinking that they were just orphans of the Federation, wandering in the universe, singing sad songs in the west wind.

No one would care about the life and death of the Xilin people. Fortunately, they have the Zhong family. There was that arrogant tiger in the past ten years, but now this ferocious and friendly tiger has died without warning!

In an instant, the Xilin people lost their heroes and their leaders, and they could not accept them for a moment. When they finally confirmed that this sad fact could not be changed, countless Xilin officers and soldiers rushed to the periphery of the old house in Wei Er District, squatted on the ground with weapons, and followed several avenues and went far away. No one organized them. They just subconsciously wanted to protect the commander's home and prevent any outsiders from coming.

More Xilin citizens in tears began to denounce the corruption of the federal government and the incompetence of the federal fleet, thinking of the federal rotation battle that made the Xilin region sweat and blood, and thinking of the abruptness of the whole thing, countless shady conspiracy theories began to spread privately, emerging one after another.

At the time when the cosmic war between the Federation and the Empire was about to begin, the social unrest in Xilin, located on the front line, would lead to extremely serious consequences. What made the federal government even more worried was that no one knew whether the Xilin military and civilians who swear to be loyal to the Zhong family would have more direct and strong political demands because of this incident.

The Federation must stabilize the situation in the West as soon as possible, and under the current tense situation, there are not many people who have enough influence to appease the hearts of Xilin people and show the sincerity of the federal people to Xilin military and civilians.

After thinking for a few hours, the old man on Lake Philadelphia declined the request of the presidential residence to go to Xilin to stabilize the situation.

In the early morning, the Federal News Channel broadcast an emergency news. The Federal President will set off for Xilin District immediately to preside over the grand funeral of Commander Zhong and his wife and the ancient clock officers and soldiers.

The crowd was in a raging manner and the people were unstable. The combat troops of the Xilin Military Region were in a dangerous situation of absolute vigilance and no clue. President Pablo made the decision to go to Xilin to appease him, which undoubtedly showed his courage and determination unlike ordinary politicians.

And before His Excellency the President goes to Xilin, there is another more important thing to deal with.

At 3:30 in the morning, the underground combat command room of the President's residence.

"The Empire Fleet was able to find gaps in the Charter Network and cover them with our top secret electronic marks, which illustrates a lot of problems. The Ministry of Defense had completely new coded all electronic code systems three days ago, but if those problems cannot be fundamentally solved, these technical means would have no meaning."

President Pabur's voice was still thick and powerful, but his dark face seemed a little thin and tired. Although the last conversation between them did not achieve satisfactory results before Zhong Shouhu left the capital, I believe the President was still willing to regard Commander Zhong as a fellow in his comrade.

The potential political allies were buried in a space fireworks that no one expected. This blow and the subsequent Silin situation made the President feel strong pressure. Fortunately, at this time, he no longer had to worry about some families or spokespersons within the federal government who dared to question his decision to attack the empire.

"I don't know if there is any evidence of what Lt. Col. Xu Le said, and I don't want to ask for his intelligence source. His outstanding performance on the battlefield and his heroic actions of this adventure in pursuit of the Imperial fleet can fully prove his loyalty and love for the Federation."

President Pablo's eyes scanned everyone indoors like a hawk, swept across the face of the National Security Advisor, Minister of Defense, Member of the Joint Staff, Important Minister of the Cabinet, and Specially Invited Parliament Hill representative... and said in a deep voice: "He said there is still a seed of an empire still in the Federation, so I ask you to find it."

"According to Lt. Col. Shuller's intelligence, the FBI entered the military prison at the first time, but did not find the target."

The FBI Director in a pure black formal suit looked at him and replied seriously: "However, according to the preliminary investigation, some problems have been found. As for where the suspect seed is now, we need the assistance of the Charter Bureau. Since the Charter Bureau has been observing this seed, I believe that we should know where it is now."

The goal this sentence refers to is very clear, and the eyes of the federal masters in the conference room fell on a chair next to the round table.

Choi Judong, assistant director of the Charter Bureau, was temporarily removed from all authority three days ago. Three secret service agents stood behind him. Facing the suspicious and angry eyes of his colleagues, he replied slowly: "I have explained that the reason why the Charter Bureau suspended the investigation of the suspect seed was that I directly received an electronic letter from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, saying that the suspect was involved in a special military mission and needed to be temporarily isolated."

The Minister of Defense Zou Yingxing, who has been silent, said: "I have never sent a similar letter. For the sake of security, after the Medellin project, the President has rejected the relevant anti-espionage plan."

"Director Tai just confirmed that the seed has disappeared or died, but I can't feel at ease, so Assistant Cui, I think you have to undergo a long period of isolation and review. As for the Office of the Ministry of Defense, it must also be reviewed."

Zou Yingxing nodded slightly, not deliberately covering up the heavyness between his eyebrows.

"In two hours, I will go to Xilin. I hope that before Charter One arrives in Sunset State, the relevant investigation will draw a clear conclusion." President Pablo looked at everyone seriously and said, "There are all pillars of the Federation. If anyone among us has problems, it must be a big problem for the Federation."

"The matter involves the Charter Bureau and the Ministry of Defense, and the FBI is not able to complete it, so I decided to investigate the military combat forces, and the investigation team will be directly responsible to me. Please ask Mr. Byron to handle the specific matters."

"Vice President Byron has the power to review the internal work of the Charter Bureau, but according to the First Charter, any governmental strong agency, especially the military, is strictly prohibited from actively entering the Charter Bureau's affairs." Cui Judong's expression changed, and he did not care about his situation at this time and raised his opposition loudly.

"The military investigation team will not enter the scope of internal contact with relevant affairs of the Charter Bureau. What they want to investigate is you." President Pablo looked at him coldly and said without hesitation.

Cui Judong's expression changed drastically, trying to get the President to take back the order. Even when he was taken out of the door of the conference room by three Secret Service agents, he still turned around and struggled to express his objection.

"Lieutenant General Du Shaoqing will be responsible for this investigation." President Pablo looked at everyone and said in a heavy tone: "Commander Zhong's death proves the instinct of war aggression of the imperial people. At the moment when it is related to the survival of the Federation, no department can stay out of the matter, nor can the Charter Bureau."

The big men in the conference room changed their eyes again, looking at a shadow corner outside the round table, Du Shaoqing, who had been sitting silently in the corner, slowly stood up, his straight military posture was not to be criticized. He saluted the President a standard military salute and said in a deep voice: "I will live up to my entrustedness."

In the eyes of many people, Du Shaoqing, who has accumulated military achievements, will definitely not be able to sit in the position of the commander of the Iron Seventh Division for too long. Although people are still accustomed to calling him Shaoqing's commander in awe, the military talent he showed on the Xilin Front does need a larger stage.

No one expected that his latest big stage was the federal investigation team appointed by the President himself, and the investigation... was the mystery of the death of the lifelong enemy.

Under his command, the fully armed soldiers divided and surrounded them like battles, and neatly invited relevant suspects from the Charter Bureau and the Ministry of National Defense to return to the military camp from their homes. Despite the fierce resistance of the lawyers, they used all means to extend the detention period as much as possible, and gradually deepened the investigation...

Du Shaoqing was silent at his desk. There was a fallen old photo frame on the table. There was a violin box in front of the table. The long box was not opened and there was no clear sound.
