Chapter 16

  The will of the great personage

  …………

  …………

  “Dee Dee, Dee Dee!”... The gentle but full of urged meaning alarm bell resounded through the whole Charter Bureau, those dressing in the black suits working staffs looked up in surprise, watched the crystal screens on every direction in the building. Besides the sudden attack of the Empire last time, the Charter Bureau hadn’t given out the level 1 command for a long time, what exactly was the matter?

  In the alarm sounds, the picture of the central computer screen began to flash again, the print copy of this thesis and its analysis about this thesis, had already been sent to the office desk of the director of the Charter Bureau. The alarm bell had shocked the whole Charter Bureau, but didn’t let this old man had any change on his face, he took a look at the content of the document coldly, he had the corners of his mouth warped up a bit.

  “Disappeared for twelve years, still showed your tail out finally.” The director of the Charter Bureau was not shocked by the name on that document, in his this long life, nobody knew how many great events he had already seen. The director handed the document to the civil official by his side, he stood up to give the order, “notice the President Office and the Ministry of the National Defense.”

  The civil official was an middle-aged man, he took down the wind coat from the clothes rack, put it on his boss’s body, and had the slight shock in his heart. The rang through the whole Charter Bureau alarm bell, had already proved that the current situation was judged as the first sequence event by the central computer, but the director seemed to not really care about it at all. But if he didn’t care about it… Then why he would want to notice the President Office and the Ministry of the National Defense.

  The director of the Charter Bureau leaned slightly on the stick, walked to the outside of the Charter Bureau along the quiet and secluded passageway. The civil official followed behind him silently, his eyes swept a glance on that document quickly, and then he saw that name on it.

  Yufeng? Yufeng!

  The eye pupils of the civil official narrowed immediately, he thought of that war more than ten years ago, and one of the most startling events in that war. After all, the central computer had already found the whereabouts of Yufeng, no wonder that the director wanted to notify the President Office and the Ministry of the National Defense immediately.

  In that very year, the former president swore in front of the camera of the Federal Television Station, he would be sure that he would catch this betrayer who colluded with the Empire, and cost the lives of more than ten thousands elite soldiers, he would bring him to justice. But the Ministry of the National Defense had to bear the incomparably enormous pressure, because the army came up with such a defected soldier like this who couldn’t be remitted. If let them know that the mechanic Yufeng were still alive, he still lived in perfectly good condition in a block of the East Forest Region, it’s afraid of the only one thing that the whole military would get their anger up.

  Through the portable communication equipment, noticed the President Office and the Ministry of the National Defense, the middle-aged civil official stepped forward a few steps, he came to behind the director and said in a low voice, “the meeting will be at two o’clock in the afternoon.”

  “I have an appointment to play golf with somebody this afternoon.” The director waved his hand, leaned on the cane and kept walking forward, the footsteps didn’t even have a pause, “the Charter Bureau had already found that mechanic out, as for whether the Ministry of the National Defense send the army, or the President send the agents of the Secret Service to go to arrest him, what’s the relation with us? You go to represent for me to the afternoon meeting.”

  The middle-aged civil official had a stare blackly, his position now was only the director assistant, if according to the secret meeting of the Charter Bureau’s first command level, he didn’t have the qualification to represent the Charter Bureau to give an oral instruction. But he didn’t express any objection habitually, he would not even criticize the director intrepidly that he would just think of playing golf in this kind of situation, he just replied calmly, “yes, understood.”

  Respectfully watched the director that aged but still tall and straight silhouette disappeared in the corner, the middle-aged civil official then stood his body straightly. For the calmness or even the not concerned about himself with it at all that the sir director showed out at this moment, and the disregard to this afternoon’s joint conference, all of these wouldn’t let him feel strange. Because he knew it clearly, as the director of the Charter Bureau, he had enough qualification to look over the aides and staff of the President Office and the officials of the Ministry of the National Defense, let alone the family behind the aged director, even in the seven big families, also belonged to the longest history and the most respected by the masses of the people that one.

  The director of the Charter Bureau got on the battery car after he walked to behind the building, threw his cane to his secretary, took a look back at the building which he had already stayed in for many years, and suddenly had a trace of doubt and uneasiness in his mind. That named Yufeng mechanic, was really the most famous betrayer in the last three hundreds years in the Federation. But this kind of thing, it should be alright just needed to send a letter to the already accumulated anger for more than ten years the Ministry of the National Defense, but why would the central computer issue the level 1 command?

  There was the inquiring meaning in director that pair of deep and calm eyes, in the eyes of the superior big shots of the Federation, no matter what kind of things the mechanic Yufeng did, which were against reason and nature or earthshaking, he would be still an unimportant person. He didn’t want to waste his thought on this thing anymore, and he didn’t want to ponder over it anymore.

  Just not long after he left the Charter Bureau, in the strictest central control room of the Charter Bureau, that light curtain still kept flashing, in that empty room, it appeared a share of strange taste. There was a line of small words disappeared once it appeared on the bottom of the light curtain. There was no any record, that line of small words was written like this:

  “The level 1 target, back into the field of vision.”

  …………

  Twelve fifteen of the afternoon, a row of all black cars entered the Seventeenth Research Institute of the capital suburb, in the stupefied eyes of those wearing glasses researchers, the FBI working staffs blockaded the storeroom, brought that just graduated from the university not long ago named Chandler researcher to have the investigation, that number AW3278 evidence was also sealed carefully, and the deputy director who handled this matter also was brought into a black car helplessly.

  At two o’clock sharp in the afternoon, a small meeting was held at the third floor of the Charter Bureau. The representing to attend the meeting middle-aged civil official sent out the files, to the officials in charge of every department who had already known the fact of this case, then he said calmly, “the central computer sent out the level 1 command, although it’s the analysis of the machine, but it still has some reasons in it. Although the case have already passed more than ten years, but the Federation would not allow any criminal to escape the punishment of the law absolutely, moreover what Yufeng made is the treason felony.”

  A colonel of the Ministry of National Defense said with the gloomy face, “this is the shame of the army, the minister has already made it clear, this case must be directed by the Ministry of National Defense.”

  “It’s not the problem that who should direct.” The President Office only sent an intermediate official to attend the meeting today, he looked at that colonel of the Ministry of National Defense and said seriously, “the key is to catch that guy, the President still doesn’t know about this thing temporarily, the security counselor considered, since this mechanic was the top student of the Military Academic in those years, he should have a lot
of friends in the military, and also because of these relationships in those years, that let him ran away… This time the arrest action, still should be handled by the Secret Service, assisted by the Ministry of National Defense.”

  “The purpose of everybody is consistent, we don’t need to spend too much time to debate on this. Why don’t we just come to take a look at the action plan drawn out by the Charter Bureau for this?” The middle-aged civil official pressed on a button calmly, the project plan was shown on the extra large screen on the wall.

  “Although this mechanic is just a small fish, but if we want to catch him and bring him back to the capital to have the stand trial, it’s also not an easy thing, the central computer recommended… This action would be completed by the Fourth Military Region of the West Forest, and assisted by the police general office of the East Forest.”

  “The Fourth Military Region?” The colonel of the Ministry of National Defense nodded his head, he was very satisfied with this arrangement. Since it’s the recommendation of the Charter Bureau, he thought that the President Office shouldn’t also have too many objections, “what should we do if we encounter the resistance?”

  That official of the President Office said with the gloomy face, “this mechanic is not only the shame of the military, he is also the shame of the whole Federation. If we encounter the violent resistance to the arrest, shoot to kill.”
