Chapter 239 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Chapter 239 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Just as the Navigator was clashing head-on with the Trisolarans, a major event also occurred on the Earth Federation side.
Lin Xuan, the fifth Wallfacer who had disappeared for many years, reappeared in front of the Earth Alliance Building.
Lin Xuan's sudden appearance put all the top leaders of the Earth Alliance on high alert. Apart from President Luo Congmin, who had already resigned, the remaining ministers of the five departments of the Earth Alliance and the leaders and representatives of the thirty-six parties received the news almost at the same time.
"What? Lin Xuan, wasn't he already dead?"
When then-Secretary of the Army, Fistine Mann, heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost crushed the communicator in his hand.
He was born in the late period of the old country and personally experienced Lin Xuan's usurpation of power and the Luoyang Incident. Fistin Mann admired this ruthless man who personally ended the concept of "nation", but he was more afraid of him.
The good news is that Lin Xuan has been missing for several years now, ever since he inherited his grandfather's position and was promoted to Minister of the Military Department of the Earth Alliance.
Although Luo Congmin is still a difficult woman to deal with, she is much easier to get along with than Lin Xuan.
Especially as a hawk, he and Luo Congmin were of one mind and shared a common enemy. After the last batch of resurrected people took power, the power of the hawk faction was enhanced like never before.
But now, Lin Xuan's sudden appearance has inexplicably made Fistine Mann feel an unprecedented sense of panic.
This feeling is like a child who has done something wrong suddenly hearing that their parents are coming home, which makes them feel a deep-seated fear.
"Damn it, this guy... why did he have to show up now of all times!"
Fistin's face looked extremely ugly. He had heard some rumors about Lin Xuan. She was extremely domineering. Although she did not hold power, if the current ruler of humanity did something that displeased her, then no matter who the other party was, Lin Xuan would personally eliminate them.
This is one of the reasons why he is even more terrifying than Wade. No matter what, Wade is just a madman. As long as you are careful of his desperate measures, you can be fine. But Lin Xuan, once the Earth Alliance really displeases him, I'm afraid that from today onwards, the entire Earth Alliance will end up like PDC.
If it were before, when Luo Congmin was still the president of the Earth Alliance, Lin Xuan was, after all, Luo Congmin's nominal brother. Even if it was for Luo Congmin's sake, he wouldn't make things too difficult for the entire Earth Alliance.
But now, with RimWorld bombed and Luo Congmin resigning, if you say that Lin Xuan's return isn't to demand an explanation, Fistine would never believe it.
"What should we do? Are we really just going to sit idly by and watch Lin Xuan act recklessly?"
He paced back and forth in the room, and after a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, his eyes hardened.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame us. A guy who's been dead for who knows how many years suddenly pops up again. Do you really think we wouldn't dare to take action against you?"
He picked up the communicator and began contacting his acquaintances one by one to make follow-up arrangements.
……
Lin Xuan stood alone in front of the Earth Alliance Building. After waiting for about ten minutes, shuttles began to descend from the sky, some even using full-power mode. Normally, it is strictly forbidden for these shuttles to use full-power acceleration inside a planet.
But now, people don't care about those things anymore. Compared to Lin Xuan's appearance, those rules are nothing.
Soon, a series of high-ranking officials and dignitaries emerged from the landing shuttle. Even those who were unable to attend in person due to official duties sent their trusted confidants, demonstrating just how much importance everyone attached to Lin Xuan's sudden appearance.
Lin Xuan glanced around and found that there were quite a few familiar faces among the group, a considerable number of whom were immortals who had lived from the PDC era to the present.
Among them, the one Lin Xuan recognized the most was Taylor.
As one of the former Wallfacers, Taylor is much more composed now than when Lin Xuan first met him, but he still seems somewhat relaxed. It seems that since Lin Xuan broke through his wall, his confidence as Minister of Defense has completely disappeared.
My reappearance here today is both at the request of the Earth Alliance and a reunion with my old friend Lin Xuan.
"Everyone, it's been so many years, you all seem to have missed me."
Lin Xuan smiled and put her hands behind her back, looking at everyone.
No one could respond to this, and they all lowered their heads, remaining silent. Some of the newly appointed local officials were seeing the legendary Lin Xuan for the first time, and they couldn't help but secretly sized her up.
"He doesn't seem as special as the rumors say. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought he was just an ordinary college student."
Listening to the discussions of the newcomers, some of the older folks couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Believe it or not, it seems that Lin Xuan is actually just an ordinary college student now, and it looks like he's still in the process of extending his undergraduate studies.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Lin Xuan wasn't angry and waved with a smile.
"Alright, what are you all standing here for? Let's go inside and talk."
As he spoke, countless nanobots extended from behind him, forming a giant mechanical hand beneath his feet.
The giant mechanical hand lifted Lin Xuan high into the air, and then Lin Xuan waved her hand, creating a clean-cut door in the window of the Dilian Building before stepping inside.
"Elegant, so very elegant."
Some of the newlyweds couldn't help but feel envious when they saw this.
If only I could control trillions of nanobots like them.
However, some elderly people who were familiar with Lin Xuan were speechless for a while.
This kid hasn't changed at all over the years; he still loves to show off!
When the Van Gogh Project was underway, Lin Xuan used the entire solar system to show off to the Trisolarans and humans, almost wiping out both civilizations.
As a result, even after so many years, he still hasn't changed this personality trait.
"I even feel that he only agreed to continue being a Wallfacer because it would allow him to openly show off and act cool," Taylor couldn't help but complain.
"That's normal. Out of five Wallfacers, one is a lazy bum, one is crazy, one is love-struck, one is cynical, and then there's this guy who's always having fun. There's no normal Wallfacer at all," Wang Miao joked.
Taylor: ? ? ?
"Are you being polite? Did I want to slack off? It's just that I couldn't get involved. If Lin Xuan hadn't completely denied me any chance to show my skills, would I be spending my days fishing to kill time?"
Upon hearing Taylor's words, Wang Miao was taken aback and turned to look at Taylor.
"Um...who are you?"
