Counterfeit Hero

This news quickly spread among Feiyang's senior management.

People who were constantly appearing on TV news a few days ago began to hide their reputations. People who used to walk in high spirits began to become cautious. At the banquet, the whispering crowd kept their voices as low as possible and exchanged glances from time to time. In government or military meetings, there is more silence and caution.

Government officials, military generals, business owners, and chaebol chairmen all suppressed their inner demons and observed the direction of the wind honestly.

They knew that no matter which side they were on, jumping out at this time was not a good idea. The waterway from Chakna to the Feyan Republic is not a war zone. Therefore, Hastings chose an honest route, took the President Chuckna spaceship, and headed for Feiyang under the escort of an entire super fleet.

Not to mention what kind of power is needed to attack a super fleet, just saying that Hastings exposed his itinerary to the public has eliminated most people's dark thoughts.

That is the military god who has controlled this country for thirty years. Throughout Feiyang, there were tens of millions of soldiers. are his supporters, admirers and followers.

It is conceivable that being a military god was once questioned. On his return against the backdrop of Resker's great victory. How many Feiyang patrol warships will be in the military districts along the way will automatically join the escort fleet.

No one can act in such a situation. No matter how much people hate Hastings, they can only watch helplessly as the king approaches Heidfield step by step. All the bickering and noise. All of them disappeared without a trace.

In the Punk District of Heidfield City, there is a primeval forest that is more than three kilometers long and wide. Although it has come to the end of winter, you can still see patches of snow scattered on the dark soil and fallen leaves in the forest.

Go west from Alkleke Street and turn onto a small road 500 meters from the south gate of Bizhong Cave Park, and you will arrive at a luxurious private club in the woods.

The clubhouse is not open to the public. Ordinary people will be stopped by security personnel in black uniforms five hundred meters away from the club. In addition to these security personnel scattered at intersections and in the forest, you can also see some police officers standing with the security personnel from time to time, chatting and smoking, and even soldiers driving mechas.

The lives of ordinary people are too far away from this club. That's not a distance of five hundred meters, but a chasm between status and wealth.

No one knows who is coming in and out of the club, and no one knows what is in the club. At best, people can only see luxury cars driving into small roads on the street from time to time.

Bulletproof car windows are always closed. It's a world they can't touch.

The luxurious club suite was filled with smoke. Wearing handmade clothes tailored by famous designers, holding the most expensive wine, and smoking the most fragrant cigars, dignitaries sat or stood in groups of twos and threes, talking in low voices.

The decor of the room is extremely luxurious. Purely handmade wool rug, thick and soft. The large and comfortable high-backed sofa exudes the luster of leather under the crystal lamp. The walls are wrapped in sound-absorbing and fire-proof materials, so you won't be hurt even if you bump into them. Even the doors, window sills and decorative moldings of the room are made of the most expensive Knawil sandalwood.

However, these things are for those present. Already accustomed to it. Even the antiques worth tens of millions of dollars on the ancient shelves were not given a second glance by the people in the conversation.

Everyone's face looked unhappy and anxious. Worried, Zhongzhong, and Gloomy spoke very quickly, appearing a little excited and even a little angry.

When the door was pushed open and a series of crisp high-heeled shoes sounded outside the corridor, everyone in the room turned their attention to the door.

Two identical twin young female officers wearing Feiyan officer uniforms appeared at the door. Immediately, Barbara, wearing a white embroidered dress and a large cloak, walked into the room.

When Barbara took off her cloak with the help of her twin sisters, revealing the embroidered dress that tightly wrapped her body, the sound of swallowing sounded in the room almost simultaneously. The men's eyes became intense.

Barbara's beauty is an enchanting beauty. No other woman can perfectly combine maturity, elegance and sensuality like her.

Her skin is smooth and white, and her breasts and buttocks are round and soft. The body presents a soft shape that is visually unobtrusive. One look at her and you can't help but want to touch, caress, and have sex with her.

She can always arouse the most primitive desire in men, with every smile.

When a man sees her for the first time, he will naturally think of a soft big bed, and think of her being like a lamb, with her slim waist and wide buttocks swinging in a charming way.

She is a natural enchantress!

After a moment of confusion, the men present looked away with difficulty. Although they are qualified to enter this room, they have wealth or power that is unimaginable to ordinary people, but in front of Barbara. They are nothing.

Among them, only a few people can barely be regarded as nominally equal collaborators, while most of the others are just members of the forces led by Barbara.

Not to mention their wealth and power, even their lives are in Barbara's hands. Only those who truly know this woman know what kind of punishment they will receive if they show inappropriate expressions outside of proper expressions of admiration!

It is said that the presidential candidate who had just been shot off half of his head by a sniper rifle downstairs in his office at a distance of less than fifty meters only touched Barbara's thigh on the spaceship.

He could have saved his life. Inappropriate self-confidence and excessive secretion of sex hormones. harmed himself.

There are even rumors that this is actually a taboo topic for brother and sister Li Fu and Barbara. Don't mention it, don't even think about it. The man whose skin color, beard and hair were as white as snow and ice, had a creepy doting on Barbara. Even if he could become Barbara's guest and be known by him,

"Are you all here?" Barbara fluttered her phoenix eyes on her temples with ripples of light. After nodding to everyone in the room, she swayed to the sofa and sat down.

"There's only one person missing, Hu Te didn't come." An old man with gray hair and wearing a navy blue suit walked up to Barbara. He bowed his head slightly and said to Barbara gracefully.

"Everyone must have heard that our Lord Marshal has already set off from Hanking back to Heidfield. Barbara was holding the coffee handed to her by one of the twins. She crossed her slender legs in stockings and gently stirred the spoon. On the other hand, he said lightly: "It seems that the death of Francis has not stimulated the military god."

There was silence in the room. Everyone watched with eyes, nose, and heart, carefully controlling their gazes and facial muscles, not even daring to make too much noise when breathing.

Perhaps Barbara was the only person in the room who could speak of Hastings in such a tone.

He has been mixed in the upper class society of Fimen for a long time. Certain rules have become the instinct of everyone here. Their status is not enough to be as unscrupulous as Barbara against opponents like Hastings. Any words that ridicule Hastings are a sign of immaturity and political wisdom. The enemy will not suffer any losses, and your companions will stay away from you.

Unless, you're sure this is what Barbara needs.

At that point, you should step forward without hesitation. Provoke opponents or influence others. That's your job, that's what a hound should do. There is only the master who stalks, surrounds, barks, tests, bites, and holds a shotgun. Only then can you find the weakness of the prey and have the opportunity to pull the trigger!

Even if you are facing a mad lion!

"In the past two days, some of our allies have begun to retreat." Barbara took a sip of coffee and smiled mockingly on her plump and sexy red lips: "When the Lord Military God was not around, they danced better than anyone else. Gao, once the opponent decides to come back, they will be panicked even before they arrive."

"I'm relieved that, at least internally, we still maintain composure and confidence." Barbara's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and she smiled faintly: "Isn't it?"

Facing her gaze, no matter how worried they were about Hastings' return, everyone still smiled knowingly, nodded, or raised their wine glasses. Some even held their chests and heads high. Show that you are confident and calm that is different from others. It seemed that from beginning to end, there was no fear of Hastings.

"Actually, what do you think? I don't care. Barbara's cold voice was like a storm of minus two hundred degrees, instantly freezing the smiles on everyone's faces.

"I just need to tell you that now that we have reached this point, there is no room for anyone to look back." Barbara said coldly: "Looking forward and looking back will never end well. Whether it is me or Hastings, There will be no need for such people. For the sake of internal unity, I will not hesitate to eradicate all unstable factors before the final battle."

"Do you understand?" Barbara continued to drink coffee, her blue eyes did not even raise her eyelids.

Down.

After a moment of silence, everyone bowed and lowered their heads. The two twin sisters looked at the men in front of them coldly. In their eyes, these people are just chess pieces without independent consciousness. Even if they are all overlords and heroes, they can only obey the law of the jungle and bow to their ruler.

"There are two lists here, a battle report and a medical report. Take a look." Barbara stood up, looked at the time, walked to the door, and asked the twin sisters to put on her coat. He looked back and smiled: "You should be glad that you didn't find excuses to cancel this party today.

After saying that, she turned and left the room.

Until the sound of high heels in the corridor gradually faded away, disappearing into the distance and the people in the room. Still keeping quiet. In a depressing atmosphere. Some people turned to look at the gray-haired old man.

"have a look."

The old man named Marcel Friedrich took a sip of tea and pointed at the documents on the table to everyone.

"You will be very interested."

A middle-aged man finally couldn't hold it any longer, so he reached out and picked up a document and opened the Internet. He let out an exclamation.

“Hastings’ medical record?.

He screamed and opened his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg.

"Condition worsens"

Before he could finish his words, he was overwhelmed by the crowd, and the folder in his hand was quickly snatched away by others, causing a commotion immediately.

The other two documents left on the coffee table did not escape either. Just when everyone was shocked and ecstatic about the news of Hastings' worsening condition, a burly lieutenant general holding a battle report detonated another bomb.

That's the battle report of Li Fo's army. At this moment, thousands of Feiyang battleships are passing through the Catalonia galaxy jump point and entering the Duke Bentley galaxy of the Naga Federation.

The combined fleet of the Naga Federation and the Binart Empire has lost more than 30% of its warships. It was defeated in the storming attack of Li Fo's fleet.

These two pieces of news sent the entire conference room into a frenzy.

Everyone seemed to have been injected with stimulants, their faces glowing red and they were overjoyed. Any worries that arose due to Hastings' return have been swept away. Everyone believes that the person who wins in the end must be Li Fo!

He's younger and healthier than Hastings. His performance in this war was even better.

When Lever once again achieved a victory in Catalunya that attracted media attention and made Feiyang people proud, Hastings' return brought the aura of victory in Leifengxing. will be flooded.

At this time, no one dares to attack Li Fo! Not even Hastings!

Barbara, we are fighting a well-prepared war! Li Fu's victory came so easily, as if he had already discussed it with the people of Xiyue! Add to this the news of Hastings' deteriorating condition and Barbara's placement in the presidential election. There is no suspense in this battle.

As long as it is delayed for a while, Hastings' irreversible condition alone will make this happen. The people in the room tasted the wonderful taste of final victory!

No one will be around. Bet on the dying old man and everyone will choose a new king.

The folders were passed around in everyone's hands, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed and warm.

If these core members of the Li Fo Group still have any doubts, perhaps it is the two lists placed together with the medical records and battle reports.

One list included everyone in the room, while the other list only had one person named Hu Te. That guy who is active among the senior leaders of the opposition parties, is good at dancing, good at speaking, and always observing the situation.

Today, he didn't come!

"I've told you everything you should know." The old man Friedrich walked to the window and activated the automatic opening button of the curtains. A very friendly smile appeared on his face and said: "Now, please Just settle down and watch a show.”

The curtains slowly opened to both sides, and through the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see endless deep woods and patches of snow on the land. appear before your eyes. .

After making a gesture to everyone to look out the window, Friedrich stepped on the soft carpet. He walked silently towards the door of the room.

This gray-haired old man has a permanent reserved smile on his face. Although he has wrinkles, he looks very stylish and has a mature charm. His body is very tall and straight, with a pair of slender eyes slightly squinting on the high bridge of his nose. His walking posture and the temperament revealed by his movements are all that of an old gentleman with strict cultivation.

Everyone looked out the window in surprise. In the distance, several black spots are getting closer and closer.

A man in his fifties was dragged by the arms of two men in black, one on the left and one on the right, to a forest clearing less than twenty meters away from the window. The man who was held hostage was covered in blood and scarred. Behind the three men was a brown-haired young man with a sinister face. He was holding a gun and kept a distance of five meters from the person in front.

After grabbing the hair of the man who had collapsed into mud, he let everyone see clearly the only absentee today. The brown-haired young man didn't say anything, nor did he pause at all. He directly raised his hand and shot the man's head.

When the blood sprayed on the snow in the forest, Friedrich, without even looking back, happened to walk to the sofa.

He picked up the document with Hut's name on it from the coffee table and pressed the delete button. Then. He nodded politely to the people present and walked out of the room slowly.

"Fat Margaret opened the door. She walked up to the fat man who was chatting with Butt on the computer and placed a document in front of him.

"What is this?" The fat man raised his head.

"The latest information from the Feiyang Military Department" Margaret opened the folder and called out the contents. He handed it to the fat man and said: "Early this morning, Li Fo suddenly launched a new round of offensive, breaking through the jumping point of Duke Bentley's system. Currently, six super fleets of the Naga Federation and one of the Binart Empire have been annihilated. Wolf class fleet

"Impossible!" The fat man and the little kid on the computer screen shouted almost at the same time. The two fat guys, one big and one small, jumped up as if they had springs on their butts!

Margaret was startled. She didn't expect that. This news. It will attract such big reactions from fat people and little kids.

On the human interstellar plane, the Duke Bentley Galaxy is a small galaxy outside a public galaxy southwest of the Catalonia Galaxy. It has only one immigrant star and two depleted resource planets.

The predecessor of the Naga Federation was the Naga Empire. This is also the reason why a democratic federation has an extremely close relationship with Spain in terms of history and national sentiment.

Thousands of years ago, Emperor William V of the Naga Empire decreed that this galaxy be given to Duke Bentley, the most outstanding military strategist at the time, as his family fief. The name of this galaxy was also changed from the former Alpha Corridor Third Galaxy to the Bentley Duke System. This somewhat awkward name is still used today.

From a strategic perspective, Duke Bentley's galaxy. Obviously not as good as Salamanca, another galaxy adjacent to Catalonia.

You know, after Salamanca is the Cadiz Star Territory, where the capital of the Naga Federation is located. For the Naga Federation, losing Salamanca is equivalent to putting its chest directly on the tip of a knife. The Bentley Dukes are just one link in an interstellar corridor. Location is important though. It can only threaten the flanks of the Naga Federation and give the attacker more route options. Therefore, judging from the battle reports in the Lane Theater, both Li Fo and Siyo are competing for control of the jumping point between Salamanca and Catalonia. The main forces of both sides were almost all contained in this area.

Li Fu's ability to suddenly capture the Duke Bentley System this time was indeed beyond Margaret's expectations. However, she didn't understand why the fat man and the little kid jumped up at the same time, shouting that it was impossible.

Soldiers are impermanent, power is impermanent, water is impermanent, in war. No possibility can be ruled out!

Moreover, it can also be seen from the documents of the Military Department. Li Fu's military strength was enough to support him in fighting against the Duke of Bentley while holding on to the jumping point in neighboring Salamanca.

"Has your grandpa read the battle report?" The fat man couldn't figure it out and asked, "Did he say anything?"

"I've seen it." Margaret shook her head in confusion: "He didn't."

Margaret's voice suddenly got stuck. She looked at the strange and confused expressions on the fat man and the little kid on the screen, and suddenly a picture she had never seen flashed through her mind.

She remembered the old man's eyes when the confidential secretary handed the document to her grandfather. There are also some recommendations.

It was a look she had not seen in Hastings's eyes for twenty years.
