    Early morning on December 22 of the Blue Star Calendar.  In the officer¡¯s dining room of the Ranger, Yin Jian sat at a dining table near the porthole, enjoying his after-dinner coffee.  The morning sun shines through the portholes and onto the tablecloth, casting a golden-red brilliance on his major general uniform.  There are two morning newspapers on the table, one is "Blue Star Daily" and the other is "Galaxy Morning News".  Even during the battle with pirates, Yin Jian took time to read these two newspapers every day, unshakable.  The founding organizations of these two newspapers belong to different camps. One newspaper is the mouthpiece of the Mother Star faction, and the other newspaper closely follows the baton of the separatist faction.  Yin Jian focuses on two aspects of news.  One is related reports on the war on terrorism, and the other is the public opinion polls on the candidates for the new alliance speaker from major planets.  The two newspapers have different positions and can draw completely opposite conclusions about the same phenomenon. It is interesting to compare them.  "If you ask who is lying, they are all lying.  Both newspapers will only choose to guide public opinion from an angle that is beneficial to their faction.  "However, as long as you have a clear mind, it is not difficult to decipher the truth from the lies.  Today, the same news was published on the front pages of these two newspapers, which immediately attracted Yin Jian's attention.  ¡ª¡ªGeorge Pompeo was assassinated and unfortunately died after ineffective rescue efforts. The murderer has been controlled by the police. This is the title of "Blue Star Daily".  ¡ª¡ªCongressman George was assassinated in Tiandu City, and the murderer was an employee of Xu Wenchuan¡¯s organization. It is imminent that the mastermind behind the murder was revealed. This is the title of the "Galaxy Morning News".  Both newspapers took a close-up of the scene of George Pompeo lying on the ground after being shot. His eyes touched George's painful and angry face before his death. Yin Jian couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, and he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.  When George was suddenly assassinated before the election, the murderer would inevitably be condemned by the public. Even if he assassinated George spontaneously, the separatists would blame Xu Wenchuan as the "instigator behind the scenes."  In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Xu Wenchuan's election is going well, and there is no need to add unnecessary trouble to assassinate George.  ¡°There must be something fishy about this matter¡± Yin Jian had to suspect that the assassination of George was self-directed and staged by the separatist political group.  This kind of crooked and evil means is actually nothing new.  There was once a politician who directed and staged an assassination incident at a critical moment when the election situation was unfavorable, in order to win public sympathy and eventually win the election.  History is always similar, and the separatists are likely to use this unflattering method in an attempt to reverse the situation.  However, George was not only assassinated, but also died, so we can no longer use the template that appeared in history.  ¡ª¡ªThe others are already dead, and no matter how much sympathy is gained, they cannot continue to run for election.  This is precisely the key for the separatist political group to prove its innocence - if it was self-directed and self-performed, the assassination would only cause minor injuries, so how could George really be killed?  There is no such truth in the world.  Yin Jian frowned.  Is it really a private act of the assassin?  For example, he had a personal grudge with George.  This possibility cannot be ruled out.  "However, even if it is really due to personal grudges, Xu Wenchuan must be blamed for this debt. This has become a problem, and the prospects for the general election may change drastically.  As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly dialed Cui Qian's phone number.  "Sister Qian, about George's assassination" "I just learned that Xu Wenchuan is in big trouble now. George came to Blue Star to hold his last lecture tour before the election. No one expected that he would be assassinated just after arriving in Tiandu City.  , now in addition to the local media of Blue Star, the media of all major planets in the alliance are hyping this matter. George's widow cried bitterly in a TV interview, publicly condemning Xu Wenchuan for instructing assassins to kill her husband. You also know that the alliance election and split  The local faction and the local faction each have their own basic bases, and the votes of both parties are evenly matched. The focus of the competition is on those neutral planets. Affected by the assassination of George, Xu Wenchuan's poll support dropped sharply. Online surveys show that more than 70% of voters on neutral planets believe that he is behind the scenes.  "Blackhand, you said it's not troublesome." Cui Qian's tone was urgent, even angry, "This is an obvious frame-up. We all underestimated the shamelessness of some people. They will use any despicable means to achieve their goals." "Is it really true?  The separatist political group directed and acted on its own? But after they killed George, how could they manipulate public opinion to win the election? It would be too late to launch a new candidate. Moreover, the separatists seemed to be unable to find a candidate with a public image comparable to George.  "Yin Jian asked.  In fact, he had an almost absurd guess: the separatists directed and staged this tragedy, and the original purpose was probably to injure George and then let him run for office with his injuries to create a tragic hero image. Unexpectedly, God is not as good as God.  The gunman was nervous before the battle. His hand shook and the bullet missed, accidentally hitting the target.?,The result evolved into the current situation.  However, Cui Qian¡¯s next words proved that his guess was not absurd, but naive.  As Cui Qian said just now, there is no lower limit to the shamelessness of some people.  "The separatist political group has long prepared Pompeo's replacement. Just 3 minutes ago, Edward Pompeo held a press conference at Mobius Fortress, severely rebuking the murderer of George Pompeo and claiming to  The mastermind behind this tragedy was uncovered, and even more explosive news was yet to come. Edward announced his official resignation as commander-in-chief of the Alliance's anti-smuggling fleet, joining politics, inheriting George Pompeo's legacy, and participating in the election for Speaker. " Yin Jian collapsed upon hearing this.  Taking a breath of cool air, all doubts were solved.  "This old guy who eats human blood buns is so despicable." "It's a pity that there are too few people who have seen through his hypocrisy. I am writing an article to expose his conspiracy, but what's the use He is a war hero in the eyes of most people.  , you have to know: the public naturally hates politicians, but they always admire soldiers unconsciously, as if politicians are hypocritical and insidious, and soldiers are always upright. The tragic Edward participated in the election with the power of the number one hero in the war on terrorism, not only completely  Inheriting George's political legacy will also win the support of most centrist voters. In contrast, Xu Wenchuan has only promoted the war on terrorism. How can he compete with Edward, who has been on the battlefield and fought against Lance with real swords and guns?  He wanted to gain prestige by launching a war, but he didn't expect that Edward would take advantage of the situation and fight against him. There was only one week left before the election. How did Xu's team respond, how did they manage the crisis, and how did they win by surprise?  Who can help him solve this problem?" Yin Jian rubbed his temples so hard that his head almost exploded.  Politics is a very complicated thing.  The current situation seemed like a mess, and he was overwhelmed by so many things.  "However, fortunately among the misfortunes, I have some good news here." Cui Qian's next words made Yin Jian feel refreshed.  He quickly asked: "What good news?" "The murderer who shot George Pompeo did not flee after the incident. He shouted in the speech square, 'Long live Blue Star, Long live Chairman Xu,, Separatists deserve death  ¡­¡± ¡°Sister Qian, what kind of good news is this? The murderer is clearly framed.¡± ¡°Haha, listen to me. This murderer was too involved in his acting and shouted too many slogans that were meant to cover up. Sister Tao and the SWAT team arrived in time.  When he arrived, he was stopped in time from shooting himself. He is currently being held in the Tiandu City Police Station Detention Center. From the murderer, we may be able to find a breakthrough and find out the real mastermind. " Yin Jian was dumbfounded when he heard this. This is the consequence of being too involved in the drama.  The gunman was just superfluous.  If he shot George and killed himself immediately, he would be doomed to take the blame and have no chance of making a comeback. Now that he is still alive, there is a lot to be done.  "Sister Qian, please notify Sister Tao immediately. Be sure to keep an eye on the gunman and don't let him have an accident." Now, the separatists must be very anxious and try their best to silence Yang Tao. After all, Yang Tao is a member of the Yang family, so you can imagine the pressure he is under.  "You can tell Sister Tao yourself about this. She has spoken. If she can't see you before Christmas, she won't care." "Okay, get ready. We'll go back to Blue Star right away." The situation is urgent, Yin Jian  Unable to sit still for a minute, he quickly returned to the fleet headquarters, summoned everyone to explain the unexpected incident, appointed Fang Ying as the acting commander of the Ranger Fleet, assisted by Captains Tiger, Rick and Vincent, and took Cui Qian with him.  On the same day, they boarded the "Trojan Horse" and opened the wormhole to return to Blue Star.  On the ship, Yin Jian learned the details of the assassination of George Pompeo from Cui Qian.  George Pompeo was assassinated during a speech in front of tens of thousands of people in the square.  The assassin was arrested on the spot. He claimed to be a fanatical Blue Star centrist and assassinated George in order to maintain the unity of the Blue Star Alliance.  This confession immediately stung the self-esteem of the colonial people and led to a wave of opposition to Blue Star Centrism from all walks of life.  Even on the streets of Tiandu City, well-known left-wing intellectuals encouraged students to take to the streets to demonstrate, causing chaos and the crisis of the situation can be imagined.  Edward Pompeo added fuel to the fire and made an indignant speech, expressing his intention to inherit Congressman George's legacy and run for office in person.  Affected by his remarks, the major planets in the alliance became excited and the public opinion boiled. They denounced the despicable and cruel assassination and demanded to find out the mastermind behind it.  The media controlled by the separatist political group added fuel to the flames, explicitly or covertly pointing the suspicion of being behind the scenes to George Pompeo¡¯s opponent Xu Wenchuan.  Being accused of "political murder" for no reason, Xu Wenchuan was unable to defend himself, and his public support plummeted.  ¡°As for his new rival, Admiral Edward, who has returned from the front with a great reputation, as soon as he announced his candidacy, his support exceeded that of George Pompeo in his heyday, and it was rising every day, putting tremendous pressure on him.   So that in the afternoon, when entertaining Yin Jian at home, who had just returned from the front line to Tiandu, the exhausted old man who had been tortured by the campaign couldn't help but sigh: "Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation." He worked hard to launch the war on terrorism, and it was not easy.  After winning the battle, he ended up making wedding clothes for others. What a shame.  Yin Jian didn¡¯t stay too long at Xu¡¯s house, comforted the old man for a few words, and hurried to the Tiandu City Police Building.
