Chapter 144 Traitor (Part 2)
Chapter 144 Traitors (Part 2)
When the officer in charge saw Ling Yue agreeing to plead guilty, he quickly sent someone to escort Ling Yue back. As for how Feng Wushuang who suddenly appeared, it was not the final decision for him, a small officer, so he had to escort Colonel Feng Wushuang to the Imperial Prison.
When Ou Xue, the captain of the Flying Eagle Squad, arrived in a fighter plane, it was too late, and only some soldiers were left to clean up in Lingyuntai. Ou Xue controlled the fighter plane to land. She looked around and did not see the scene of the fight. After asking the soldiers around, Ou Xue realized that Feng Wushuang had also been captured. This time, Feng Wushuang did not control the mecha to attack the soldiers of the empire. Therefore, Ou Xue knew that the charge of robbing the punishment field was serious.
That night, in the interrogation room of the Imperial Prison, the Supreme Ruler of the Empire, Emperor Tian, began a secret meeting with Ling Yue.
"Little girl, I heard you agreed to confess." The supreme ruler of the empire looked at Ling Yue and said.
"Yes, but I have a requirement." Ling Yue said to the man in her forties in front of her.
“What are the requirements?”
"First of all, I want to know how you punish Feng Wushuang this time, that is the boy who came to the punishment field to save me." Ling Yue asked.
"He saved you this time and the influence of his bad help. According to the imperial military law, he will be sentenced to death or life imprisonment." The Emperor of Heaven said that Emperor of Heaven deliberately made Feng Wushuang's crime accusation. Before coming, he learned about the relationship between Feng Wushuang and Ling Yue, and was a couple.
"I hope you can release him without acquit. As a thank you, I will plead guilty and promise to serve the empire in the future. If you do not agree to this exchange condition, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide immediately." Ling Yue said.
"Why didn't you ask me to release you without acquit?" Emperor Tian asked slowly after hearing Ling Yue's conditions.
"We are all smart people. I know that the reason why the Empire asked me to surrender was to make the Martian military weakened. As long as I confess my guilt, you will definitely make me feel comfortable and may also send someone to protect my safety. This is the condition I have obtained, why do I still have to make demands on you?" Ling Yue replied with a smile.
"You are very smart. If you hadn't treason at the beginning, you would have been the pillar of the empire. Your fleet command ability amazes me." The Emperor of Heaven sighed after hearing the answer of the seventeen-year-old girl in front of him.
"It's not too late now." Ling Yue replied with a smile.
"It is a bit reluctant to release Feng Wushuang without acquittal. Feng Wushuang openly violated military discipline, knocked out soldiers, and snatched mechas. When you didn't plead guilty in Lingyuntai, he would definitely destroy the imperial mechas guarding Lingyuntai. If he didn't punish him, many people would be dissatisfied. Sometimes military law must be fair, otherwise one day, what will I do if another death row prisoner appears." Emperor Tian thought for a moment and said.
"Let's do this, let's make a bet and give me three days. I will ask most people to support the decision to release Feng Wushuang without acquittal. If the people all hope to release Feng Wushuang without acquittal, I think the leaders of the empire will not go against the will of the people." Ling Yue answered confidently.
"In three days, I have received the support of the majority of the people. Haha, I really want to see how you did it. Yes, I promised this bet. In three days, I will hold a referendum. More than 70% of the people in the empire agree to the acquittal of Feng Wushuang, so I let him go. If it is less than 70%, he will be imprisoned in the Imperial Prison for ten years. What about this? The conditions are reasonable." Emperor Tian proposed a referendum plan.
As the leader of the empire, he certainly knew how difficult it was to get all the people to agree to a judgment. Feng Wushuang had now blatantly violated the laws of the empire. Moreover, Ling Yue destroyed two major fleets in the months of treason. The relatives and friends of these two fleets regarded Ling Yue as a sinner. Ling Yue himself could not kill for political reasons, but Ling Yue's boyfriend would also be resentful by the families of the soldiers who died in the battle.
If a referendum is held now, should Feng Wushuang be detained for ten years, the families of these dead soldiers will definitely vote for one vote. Therefore, Emperor Tian was suspicious of Ling Yue's ability to change the public's view within three days.
"Yes, but I have to give me three days to free myself. I can't lock me up here for three days," Ling Yue said.
"After the time, you and I will attend the press conference of the Empire. At the press conference, as long as you admit your crimes and punishments, repent in front of the reporters, and ask for the empire's understanding, I will let you go for three days." The Emperor of Heaven replied.
An hour later, Ling Yue was escorted to attend the Empire's press conference.
Compared to an hour ago, Ling Yue was much more energetic, had washed her hair and changed into casual clothes.
"I admit my sins and openly treason, hoping to be forgiven by the Emperor* side and the people of the Empire, and be willing to spend the rest of my life to be loyal to the Empire." Ling Yue said at a press conference.
Then after Ling Yue pleaded guilty, Emperor Tian, the supreme ruler of the empire, began to announce the punishment for Ling Yue: "Ling Yue, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet of Mars, has a good attitude after being captured, repented, admitted his sins, and announced his loyalty to the empire from then on. I decided to make a lifelong house arrest for Ling Yue. Considering that Ling Yue is a civilian and her alma mater is the Emperor's College. The empire will permanently put her in the Emperor's College with the purpose of cherishing talents and appoint Ling Yue as the substitute teacher of the Emperor's College warship command. Without the permission of the Emperor's Party, he will not leave the Emperor's College for life."
In front of the reporter, Emperor Tian announced the punishment for Ling Yue.
I will never leave the Imperial Academy for life. This sounds quite heavy, but if you think about it, you will know that the punishment is not serious at all. Ling Yue is a teacher at the Imperial Academy, one of the four major military academies of the Imperial Academy. This job is a job that many people can't squeeze out, and they will have no worries about food and clothing from now on.
The imperial punishment for the traitor Ling Yue was passed to the front line as quickly as possible.
When many of the rebel generals on the front line of Mars fell into deep thought after hearing this news, they surrendered so well. Faced with the battle of losing and dying, many of the generals and soldiers on Mars didn't want to fight.
Under the pressure of nearly twice the Imperial fleet and the Imperial Events to Promote Surrender and Not Kill, Mars' Defense Line collapsed completely.
The Martian military is not allowed to issue an official surrender statement to the empire, and warriors across the board are requesting surrender.
The war between Mars and the Empire ended with Ling Yue's confession. The battle ended, the soldiers of the Empire began to triumph, and the Emperor's side also began to deal with how to punish and resettle the Martian rebels.
