Chapter 274: Elizabeth's Invitation
After hearing these words, Shi Chen fell silent, and suddenly looked at Chen Fengxiao seriously and asked, "What should I do?"
"Don't do anything."
Chen Fengxiao didn't know what he thought of, and whispered: "There are some things that you can't just do if you want to, otherwise it will only cost your own life needlessly. I really want to seek revenge on that old man, and work hard to do it."
Climb up. One day, if you can reach Xia Jingming's position, you may have a chance to defeat him.
.You don’t have to worry too much about being targeted in the near future. As the saying goes, it’s only three things. That Jiang Luming didn’t kill you twice in Suyue Star, so he will definitely calm down. Now, he is probably being targeted a lot.
People are being targeted, not to mention that you have returned to the capital star circle. No matter how crazy he is, he will not dare to continue to act recklessly."
As if he was afraid that this dear friend would do something similar to the crazy thing on Titan, he continued: "Although the current situation of the Federation is a bit bad, it is not to the point of being terminally ill, and I believe that there are many smart people in the Federation.
At least there are many people smarter than you and me
There are many situations that we can all see. Naturally, some people know that there are still tall people holding up the sky when it falls. Don’t worry, since those people are so calm, they must have some countermeasures. I don’t believe those who read from the Silver Cross War.
The old guys who come down are all mediocre people who live on their own."
Shi Chen didn't say anything, but continued to stare into his eyes and asked solemnly: "What about you?"
Chen Fengxiao was silent for a moment, then smiled, with a hint of strange emotion hidden in his smile.
He stared into Shi Chen's eyes and said with the same seriousness: "I said. I have both love and hate for the Federation, but for now, I still love them more, especially the neighbors, so since they dare to take advantage of me
If a loved one does something that may endanger their lives, they will naturally have to pay a price for it, or at least leave their hands and feet behind."
Shi Chen took a deep breath, stood up and patted his shoulder, saying: "Be careful in everything."
"the same as you."
After draining the remaining wine in the glass, the two said goodbye.
The next day was the day when the Federation held a state funeral for all soldiers who died in the battle of Sutake Star. The location was at Baiyang Cemetery on the outskirts of the capital.
Shi Chen endured the severe headache caused by his hangover, and after helping Qian Lin take care of everything, he went to the Capital First Military District to report.
Afterwards, traffic control began. A six-kilometer-long black motorcade drove out of the Lensa district along Bande Street. It passed the suburban expressway. It followed the winding but solemn mountain road and slowly drove towards the cemetery on the mountainside.
go.
Although it is early spring, there is still light snow falling in the sky, making the world seem extremely peaceful.
Shi Chen, like all the soldiers, was wearing a gray military uniform, holding a black umbrella and holding a poplar flower in his hand. He stood silently in the queue, his eyes calmly scanning the people around the tombs.
Prime Minister Cameron, Secretary General Marcus, Minister of Defense Yang Siqin, Chief of Staff of the First Military Region Xia Jingming and other political figures have all arrived in advance, but they are all waiting in silence.
Just when the time on the clock was about to arrive, with the sound of an order, everyone turned around and knelt down on one knee.
I saw a black car with a poplar silver cross parked outside the cemetery at some point. The door of the car was opened by the driver who got out of the driver's seat. Isha was seen following another middle-aged man in a black dress.
The young woman walked along the aisle among the crowd towards the cemetery.
When Shi Chen saw this woman, his pupils narrowed slightly.
The woman's eyebrows are very similar to Isa's, and she has a bit of charm like Liya, but time still leaves indelible traces in the corners of her eyes. Her golden-white hair is tied behind her head, dignified and graceful.
The depth in her eyes that has been tempered by years is something that neither Isa nor Liya possesses.
Although he had seen it many times on TV screens, this was the first time that Shi Chen saw the honorary emperor of the Federation, Her Majesty Elizabeth, in person.
Elizabeth raised her hand, and everyone stood up.
Perhaps because His Majesty had given the order before, he greatly downplayed the cumbersome courtesy.
With the arrival of His Majesty, the funeral officially entered the process.
After Elizabeth's speech, the jars of burned bones were buried in the grave, leaving only neat rows of crosses with nameplates of the deceased hanging on them.
The soldiers have passed away, but their contribution to the Union will never be forgotten. The soldiers walked up to the monument one after another, put down the poplar flowers that represented their thoughts, and then left.
Today there were a lot of people coming to Baiyang Cemetery. In addition to relatives of the deceased, there were also many federal citizens who braved the snow and came spontaneously to observe.
These people who came to attend the state funeral were dressed in dark black clothes and holding a white flower in their hands. Under the light snow in early spring, against the cold mountains behind the cemetery, they gave off a sense of sadness and solemnity.
Shi Chendi's right hand held the handle of the umbrella steadily, and his eyes swept across the stone crosses. His eyes seemed to see through the thick rock and soil, and he saw the familiar or unfamiliar faces.
At this moment, Shi Chen's heart felt even calmer, but his knuckles turned white when he held his hands.
Then he raised his head and listened carefully to the names read out by the emcee. When he heard the names on the list, Shi Chen would squint his eyes and mark the other person's face with a scrutinizing look, either sincerely or pretending to be sad.
Down.
Because to a certain extent, the officers on the list were all enemies of the deceased and Shi Chen's enemies.
Although he doesn't have the strength to bring them down now, it doesn't mean that he won't have the chance in the future.
After the flower-laying ceremony, Shi Chen's eyes turned elsewhere. He unexpectedly saw the memorial team of Puke Biotech. The bald chairman who often appeared on the TV screen came and had an affair with Shi Chen.
Jin Chongming, whom he had met once, also came.
If nothing unexpected happens, after he announces the development project of Blue Crystal Biotechnology Company to the media, the two will become competitors.
That Jin Chongming looks extremely cowardly, but he has a solid foundation for his advance and retreat, so he shouldn't be easy to deal with.
As Shi Chen's eyes moved, he suddenly stopped on a middle-aged officer.
The man has gray hair on his temples, but he is still young and vigorous. His face is heavy and resolute, his eyes are calm and powerful, and he has a very bright gold star on his shoulder. He is none other than Xia Jingming, the chief of staff of the military region with the rank of major general.
Judging from the information, Xia Jingming's resume is legendary. He was born as a clerk in the Ministry of Finance, and joined the military halfway, specializing in the civil affairs of the military department. He proposed reform measures for the military department's logistics in a very systematic way, and he began to be promoted quickly, directly to
Major, until a fight in the capital
After the armed conflict between the Star Circle and the Blackstone Military District, he was stashed away in Titan as the Governor. After a lapse of eighteen years, he was transferred back to the Capital Star Circle again due to his meritorious service in excavating the War Apostle, and was promoted three levels in a row to serve as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Military Department.
The following year he became a full-time employee, which was a huge leap to success.
Such a man is naturally quite capable. At the same time, he is also Xia Li's father. Shi Chen has always had a good sense of him. Shi Chen's impression of him still remains at the time of farewell at Titan Yutian Airport.
However, such a seemingly gentle man was an important player in the Christmas Eve assassination? He was most likely an Imperial man?
Shi Chen's eyes suddenly became extremely complicated when he looked at him.
Perhaps he noticed Shi Chen's gaze. Chief Xia suddenly turned his head and saw Shi Chen looking at him. He nodded to him and smiled gently, as if he was seeing a neighbor he hadn't seen for a long time.
Shi Chen once said when Xia Li and his daughter left Titan that one day he would go to the capital star circle. He also thought about what it would be like to face this man again one day, but he never imagined that this would be the case.
.
Shi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards the other party involuntarily. He still had a trace of luck and endless doubts in his heart. He wanted to question the other party face to face, but he knew that this was destined to get no results and even encounter unpredictable consequences.
consequences.
And just as he took a step forward, he was suddenly blocked by someone, a middle-aged woman.
The woman was wearing a dark black skirt and had short ear-length hair, looking extremely capable.
Shi Chen was slightly stunned. If he remembered correctly, this woman seemed to be Elizabeth's driver... and secretary.
The woman smiled at Shi Chen, raised her hand and said, "Captain Shi, Your Majesty, please come over and have a chat."
