"I will let Harbin check this document. Pinghai will continue to maintain the original plan and support Ivanov." After Chen Mo arrived in Levin City, Xu Tiegong met with him in person.
After all, the impact of this matter is too great. Once it is leaked, it will not only affect the Corps. Therefore, Xu Tiegong immediately sealed the chip and urged Chen Mo to return to the mine.
Chen Mo unexpectedly did not have any violent reaction. He said goodbye to Xu Tiegong and returned directly. It was not the first day that Xu Tiegong met Chen Mo, and he knew that this boy must be holding back his anger.
After careful consideration, Xu Tiegong sent someone to stop Chen Mo's car and secretly summoned Chen Mo. ...North Central Region.
Levin City. Jungar Upper City. Lan Feng Club. This is a large clubhouse integrating dining, resting and hot springs.
There are eighteen large private rooms in the clubhouse, which are divided by buildings made of sea cloud stone, which are soundproof and noise-free, and do not affect each other.
Lan Feng Club, Imperial Dining Hall. Xu Tiegong did not bring his entourage, and was alone in the magnificent hall waiting for Chen Mo on his way back.
To ensure absolute privacy, all dishes are pre-cooked and served to the table after being heated. The waiter opened the door for the dusty Chen Mo and took the initiative to leave.
In the huge space, only Chen Mo and Xu Tiegong remained. Seeing Chen Mo standing at the door, looking around, with no intention of sitting down, Xu Tiegong waved.
"Come and sit." Chen Mo tilted his head.
"Sir, is this the Hongmen Banquet?" Xu Tiegong smiled.
"I know, you must be very suspicious now, doubting the truth of the mine explosion, and doubting my position." Chen Mo did not refute or nod.
Comes a default.
"There is no one here except you and me." Xu Tiegong smiled and poured Chen Mo a cup of soy sauce: "Even if you have no trust in the Corps now, don't you still have no confidence in your own strength?" Chen Mo was silent for a few seconds. Then he slowly walked to the table, pulled out his chair, and sat opposite Xu Tiegong.
"Sir, I know this is rude and infuriating. But I still want to know, was it you who caused the explosion in the mine?"
"You have already found the murderer, why do you need to ask me this kind of question?"
"No one in the corps gives the coordinates, and Yi energy will not be able to get in at all. If the coordinates can be calculated with the location, there will be no need to fight in future wars. Just teleport over and throw a cloud explosion bomb and teleport back." Xu Tiegong nod.
"Of course there are problems within the Corps, not only the problems in the mines, but also many other problems..."
"No." Chen Mo interrupted Xu Tiegong: "I'm only talking about the mine. I'm not a senior executive of Donghuang. I can't deal with so many complicated things. I'm here for the mine. I'm just talking about the mine." Xu Tiegong looked at it. Chen Mo.
Shake his head.
"The mine was vigorously developed after discussion between Governor Xu and I. I have no reason or position to blow it up." Chen Mo drank the small pot in front of him in one gulp.
"I believe you, but I will continue to investigate."
"You are no longer the Director of Mines. This is not your responsibility. I will let Harbin continue to investigate and do his job well. I will inform you of the results." Chen Mo heard this and chuckled. Shaked his head.
Xu Tiegong looked at Chen Mo, with relief and sadness in his eyes, and finally it all turned into a heavy sigh that was clear to his chest.
"Chen Mo, do you know why I helped you and even saved you over and over again?" Chen Mo didn't think Xu Tiegong would play the emotional card, so he shook his head.
Xu Tiegong smiled, stopped sitting upright, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette for himself. He threw the cigarette box in front of Chen Mo.
"Don't be so serious, I want to eat, I want to smoke." With that familiar movement of smoking a cigarette and the casual movement of his legs, Chen Mo seemed to see Lao Bai in a blink of an eye.
The explosion in the mine has not yet been determined to be related to Xu Tiegong, so Chen Mo did not get too impatient, relaxed a little, and lit one for himself.
"Although we have met many times, this is our first formal conversation." Xu Tiegong blew out a smoke ring: "Tell me, why did you join the Uprising Y when you were in college, and how did you get arrested?" Chen Mo was stunned.
that year. He is eighteen. Full of passion. Dare to carry the banner and call upon countless compatriots. Be fearless and move forward courageously.
It was obviously not that long ago, but it seemed like a lifetime ago. Chen Mo laughed, whether he was lamenting the years or laughing at himself.
"I was just ignorant when I was young." Xu Tiegong shook his head.
"Having a spirit of resistance is never a bad thing." Chen Mo was happy.
"Like now?"
"It's the same now." Xu Tiegong nodded: "The history of human development is the history of human resistance. Without resistance, human beings will not be able to break free from the shackles of fate." Chen Mo was expressionless.
"Without resistance in the slave society, there would be no feudalism. In feudalism, if there was no resistance, the people at the bottom would be oppressed for the rest of their lives. There would be no constitutional monarchy, no G-system, and no flowering before the Cataclysm. social system.”
"So, sir, what do you want to tell me?" Xu Tiegong ignored Chen Mo and said to himself.
"After the Cataclysm Era, we have experienced unified system and federal system... But with the development of colonies in the solar system, the federal system can no longer be maintained. Many feudal officials are doing their own thing. Finally, on the eve of the Mother Planet War, warlords are separatist and warlords are everywhere. ." Chen Mo nodded.
This is completely consistent with the history textbook.
"After the war on the home planet, the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke Agamemnon restored the monarchy, took over the power of the former ruling Z Party, and calmed down the war within the system." Xu Tiegong said in the same tone as usual: "But it is precisely because of the imperial system that the gap between the rich and the poor on the home planet has It is getting bigger and bigger. The power held by the upper class is becoming more and more concentrated, and the lives of the people at the lower class are not even as good as before the war on the home planet." Chen Moran.
"So, you were called by the remnants of the resistance army who survived the war on the home planet. You agree with their ideas and believe that the imperial system is not in line with the current social structure, let alone the interests of the middle and lower classes, so you rose up and planned to use the parade to Way to awaken more oppressed people, right?!" The last four words were like thunder on the ground, causing Chen Mo to break into a cold sweat.
"Yes and no!" Xu Tiegong repeated again. The sound is like a loud bell and as fast as the wind. Don't give Chen Mo time to think, don't give Chen Mo a chance to refute.
Chen Mo's lips moved, but he finally made up his mind, looked up at Xu Tiegong, and answered with the same loud voice.
"yes!"
"You were sentenced to twenty years in prison, forcing Whitestone to take you away to a foreign country! Luna died early because she was unable to enjoy better medical conditions on her home planet. Do you not regret it later?!"
"I regret it! But if I were given a chance to do it again, I would still choose to resist oppression, the ignorant people's ideas, and the imperial system!" Chen Mo answered without any hesitation.
Xu Tiegong smiled happily and his voice softened.
"Then let's talk about what happened at Y."
"What young boy doesn't have passion? I experienced the regime change of my home planet when I was young, and witnessed the empire using high housing prices, extreme working hours, and almost monopolized resources like medical care and education to control and dumb people down. "Chen Mo no longer held back the slightest, and poured out the words that had been buried deepest in his heart.
Things have come to this, so what if things get worse? !
"This is a deformed society!" Chen Mo's voice was no longer loud, but extremely firm: "I have witnessed them controlling farmers' water sources and ultimately their land, and I have also witnessed each living, full of life, become the gears of society. screws. Use people's collapsed spirits, broken dreams and labor surplus as fuel." Chen Mo crushed out the cigarette.
"I declare war! Not because I oppose the monarchy, nor do I do it to commemorate the fallen resistance compatriots! This is a war of people against an unruly social system, and it is also a war against power!" If the previous words are: Chen Mo spoke passionately, starting from the declaration of war, it was an oath.
This is the Resistance's oath. Xu Tiegong continued what Chen Mo said.
"The backbone and humanity of this era is being eaten alive by the empire. We refuse to stand by and watch, and we refuse to pretend to be deaf and dumb. We must stop them at all costs, defeat them, and tear them apart! The proletariat will never die!" Chen Mo opened his eyes wide. , looking at Xu Tiegong.
Xu Tiegong smiled back.
"Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Special Commissioner 02 of the Strategy Division of the Resistance Army on the home planet, Xu Tiegong, codenamed Queen Bee." Chen Mo was caught off guard by the incoming messages.
"Comrade." Xu Tiegong stretched out his hand. Chen Mo hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand and shook it with Xu Tiegong.
"I admire your attitude of never shrinking in the face of power, and I admire your bravery even more in your courage to break through the shady world and go straight to the truth. So, Comrade Chen Mo, are you willing to return to the arms of the Resistance Army!" Change to Chen Mo, who has just arrived in Ross. , must surely have red eyes and swear allegiance.
But Chen Mo has seen too much darkness over the years, and has faced life and death several times. He is no longer the young boy he used to be.
So he fell silent. After a while, Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
"Sir, I can't go back." Xu Tiegong was stunned for a moment. Based on his understanding of Chen Mo, he originally thought that Chen Mo would return to the embrace of the organization as soon as possible.
"Why?"
"Sir, you only have one life, you can't do it again. I failed once, and I know the hardships in the process." Chen Mo sighed: "You are the resistance army, I shouldn't say depressing words. But how slim is the hope of overthrowing the Iron-Blooded Duke? Besides, The God of War has also changed from a resistance force to a supervisor. With all due respect, the current empire can only be disintegrated from within. To outsiders, it is an indestructible tower."
"Those who believe in miracles are themselves miracles. We can't see the light in the dark night, but we still work hard for it. This is the power of faith."
"Sir, I am a person without faith." Xu Tiegong fell silent.
"At least, I will not join the Resistance Army until the mine explosion is cleared up, because I can't be sure whether you are a trustworthy person." Xu Tiegong understood.
"Comrade Chen Mo, I envy you for being able to pursue justice and truth, but my position is different. I can only do things with the thinking of a politician. A sage once said that politics is the exchange of interests and the right compromise."
"clear."
"If you really want to find out the truth about the mine, I can help you." Chen Mo didn't answer because he knew there would be a follow-up.
“But against that, you also have to put in the effort.”
