In less than 10 minutes after the three full-page interviews appeared in the Capital Special Administrative Region newspaper, more than half of the reporters, cameras, and broadcast vans around the Wangdu Youth Apartment, as well as the 24-hour lit rooms in the apartment building opposite, were suddenly missing.
Shocked and speechless, the late-witted journalists immediately began the race to Philadelphia, and the flights from the capital district to Philadelphia were all sold out that day, and many people still failed to get their hands on the precious tickets.
It is a pity that Philadelphia is not Wangdu, and the seriously ill military god is naturally not the young Colonel Xu Le, and the planes of several famous television stations have not had time to enter the airspace of Philadelphia, so they were sternly ordered by the military to land at an unknown small airport 3,000 kilometers away, and the reporters who rushed to Philadelphia one after another were also driven to the old city on the mountainside by the special security forces of the First Military Region with loaded guns, and all long-distance high-definition camera equipment was confiscated.
This is a serious violation of press freedom or human rights, but at such a moment, no television station or newspaper dares to make any angry protest against the federal political axe's initiative, and in the past they could scold the president, scold the parliament, and scold all the officials in the world, but at this time, if they are faced with the scene before the fall of the superstar, if anyone really dares to question something, they are afraid that the next day they will be ravaged by the angry people into garbage fragments of history.
The outside of the youth apartment was no longer as noisy and annoying as the previous two days, Xu Le silently looked at the electronic news on the light curtain, stood up and held his forehead to think for a moment, put on his military uniform and quietly climbed out of the back window.
With the help of the federal central computer, he easily avoided the prying eyes of reporters, rushed to the military airport in the western suburbs before evening, and boarded the special military plane that the Ministry of Defense had already prepared.
At 7:14 p.m., Xu Le arrived in Philadelphia, came to the courtyard by the lake, walked into the room overflowing with the smell of potions and the electronic sound of precision medical equipment, sat quietly on the edge of the bed covered with white clouds, and gently held the thin but still strong hand of the old man in the clouds.
No one knew what Li Pifu said to him, people only knew that Xu Le did not stay in Philadelphia for long, and returned to the capital area again, and the dark green military vehicle followed him directly into the Xishan compound.
At this time, it was already early morning, and in the depths of the Xishan compound, the small building of Minister Zou's family was shrouded in a light morning glow, and the residual snow mixed with the dead leaves in front of the building, dense and dense like the old wrinkles of the earth.
"Mr.
President was also in Philadelphia last night, and I met with him before I left."
In the study on the second floor, Xu Le held the hot orange tea that Zou Yu had just brought in with both hands, his thick eyebrows frowned very tightly, and he said softly: "Mr.
President told me something, mentioning his sick daughter, he said that everyone has people or things that they care about, so at certain moments, it is always necessary to make certain compromises and concessions, and this kind of compromise and concession often requires more wisdom and courage than striding forward." ” He recalled, confirming that there was not a single word wrong in his retelling of the president's words.
Minister Zou Yingxing sat on the sofa opposite, thoughtful.
After learning about the physical condition of the military god Li Pifu, the bigwigs of the capital SAR went to Philadelphia en masse to visit, regardless of whether these people could finally meet the old man on the hospital bed, but they had to go to show their attitude.
But as the Minister of Defense, he surprisingly stayed, on the one hand, because the war on the front line of the empire was still ongoing, and on the other hand, it was also related to the way the scholar and general handled things.
"How is the marshal's health?"
asked Zou Yingxing.
"The condition is very bad, and the organs are failing very badly."
Xu Le put down the orange tea, rubbed his hair indiscriminately, and said after a pause: "It's purely a matter of age and old diseases, and the opinion of the Army General Hospital is extremely unoptimistic, thinking that the old man may leave at any time. ” Minister Zou was silent for a moment and said: "I have been in the logistics base, and I have never done anything under the direct command of his old man, but every federal soldier will think that he is an ordinary soldier under the marshal, and I am in a very bad mood when I hear this news." ” Xu Le's left hand rubbed from his forehead to the back of his head, and he said a few swear words in annoyance.
"The content of the marshal's interview caused a great shock in society."
Minister Zou looked at him quietly and said: "Actually, the relationship between the marshal and the traitor, that is, your teacher, is not an absolute secret in the upper echelons of the military, after all, after many years of fighting, an old man like Admiral Miles will more or less guess something." ” "We originally thought that after the death of the marshal, no one would mention this matter again, and naturally the federation in the future would not know about it, and no one thought that the marshal and his old man would actually arrange an exclusive interview by himself to tell this secret past."
"What does this mean?"
Zou Yingxing took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and said with emotion: "Anyone must admit that Marshal Li is the only leader in the history of the Federation who can't find any shortcomings, and when he left this world, he should have been extremely perfect, but he didn't accept this perfection." ” He raised his head, looked at Xu Le quietly, and said, "You should understand better than anyone else why the marshal did this." ” "I understand, it's to protect me."
Xu Le lowered his head, stared at the dust on his military boots, and said, "The old man's body is already very weak, and we didn't talk for too long last night, but I understand what he means." ” Xu Le raised his head, his clean eyes were full of tired bloodshot and composure after enlightenment, and said, "The old man knows that my surname is flawed, if I let things develop like this, I will be impulsive." ” "The old man doesn't want me to be a scavenger-like character, which can only destroy, not build, and has no real benefit to the Federation and the people."
"I am glad that you can understand the painstaking efforts of the marshal.
I'm sure Mr.
President said the same thing. ” Zou Yingxing slowly let go of the fingers that rubbed his eyebrows, looked at him and said calmly: "Light and darkness are twins, no one can overturn this, even if you are angry and murderous now, and sweep away the darkness in front of you at the cost of your life, but if you die in the future, who will clean up the new darkness in the federation in the future?"
Minister Zou looked at him and continued: "The marshal had the ability to clear the political axe back then, and even kill everyone, but he didn't do it.
If you have the chance, you can peruse the resume of the marshal, for decades even he has been constantly making concessions and compromises, precisely for a firmer and smoother advance in the future. ” "A man with a truly sense of responsibility, a soldier, should learn to forbear, watch, guard, not to sacrifice lightly, and even more disdainful of dying with those who are petty, because only in this way can he be regarded as dedicating his entire life to the Federation and the people."
"The marshal has persevered like this all his life, and I hope you can take it as a model."
Xu Le was silent for a long time, then nodded.
"This is your latest appointment."
Zou Yingxing took out an electronic document that had obviously just been prepared from the desk drawer, and said: "Mr.
President has signed, you have been appointed as the special representative of the political axe, go to Xilin to preside over the strategic ordnance test of the general assembly base, and at the same time, you have full authority to negotiate with the representatives of the imperial underground resistance organization on behalf of the political axe. ” Xu Le slowly raised his head, his eyes were full of doubts, he could predict that he would be driven away from the center of the political vortex of the capital SAR, but he did not expect to go to Xilin to carry out such a mission.
After the publication of the interview in the Capital District newspaper, the whole federation fell into a certain unease and panic, and this large article, which obviously had the quality of a certain monument, let everyone know that it meant that an old man might be about to leave and that an era was about to end.
The people of the Federation can't imagine what the Federation would be like without the God of War, although in the past ten years, the old man has already taken off the marshal's uniform and sat quietly on the shore of Lake Philadelphia fishing, but as long as he knows that he is still alive, whether it is in the front-line troops or in Philadelphia, people are very relieved.
Li Pifu, the military god who once shocked the universe, shook the entire universe again when he was about to leave this universe, and the news reached Bermuda, and the pirates and tycoons were collectively speechless, not knowing how to react, the news reached the empire, and the white hibiscus royal family began to hold a carnival ball, and the dark-eyed royal family did not know how many glasses of spirits they drank.
In short, everyone knew that the god of war was dying, and everyone waited for that day with sadness or confusion or fear or calm or joy.
However, to everyone's surprise, after being sentenced to death by the top doctors in the Federation, Li Pifu did not die, and he came back to life extremely strongly.
Although he knew that this was only a temporary phenomenon, the health of the military god had deteriorated seriously and he could not hold on for too long, which still made countless people feel very excited.
The tenacious vitality and terrifying will contained in that old body seemed to make the Grim Reaper feel terrified and chose to leave temporarily.
The god of war, Li Pifu, as long as he does not die for a day, he is the brightest star in the universe, shining on the Federation forever, he is the living sun above S1, which disappears into the horizon every night, but the next day he stubbornly rises up and illuminates everything.
Regardless of whether the sun would go out the next day, the old man in the hospital bed in Philadelphia expressed his attitude through an exclusive interview, the FBI immediately suspended the secret investigation of Xu Le, the District Attorney's Office sealed the relevant files, and no more lawmakers on Capitol Hill proposed to hold a special hearing, and no one would raise the charge of treason.
People who have the potential power to control and influence the political structure of the entire federation, or the federation as a whole, are forced to make concessions to one person.

Yield to the old man, who was weak and dying, and who was almost unable to speak.
The people only knew that the wind had stopped, and the whole federation was peaceful and calm, with a certain commemorative solemnity, but they did not know what kind of fierce struggle took place within the federal political axe, between the ministries, and on the parliament hill after this atmosphere.
The Charter Bureau was silent, the Ministry of Defense stood behind Xu Le, but it was inconvenient to express his position, and the same was true of the presidential residence, which stopped the accusations against Xu Le, but it was impossible for him to continue his investigation and allow him to access those core secrets.
One day in the deep winter of the seventy-first year of the Xian calendar, Xu Le boarded a military spaceship bound for Xilin.
