The weapon of the country

Before the door was closed, Zhuang Ye followed him in with great strides.Fortunately, he was also in military uniform, so no one stopped him.

The furnishings in the museum are luxurious, and there are large authentic works of famous paintings hanging on the walls. Zhuang Ye has no time to take care of them, and just follows Shen Han, with his back in front of him, without squinting.The door of the small auditorium was pushed open, the floor was covered with a scarlet carpet, the stage had been decorated with fresh flowers, and on the velvet curtain was the silk Anglo Island flag and the Wellington family crest on a purple background.

The cameras and broadcasters in all directions are in place, the sound reinforcement devices are properly installed, and the sound has been tested. The film crews wearing earphones and microphones are on the verge of a formidable enemy.Zhuang Ye's heart sank, and his eyes subconsciously sought to meet Shen Han's gaze, but he saw Shen Han's face sinking like water, looking at the proud Earl Wellingt.

Earl Wellingt was very satisfied this time, and he really dressed up to attend.The governor of Yizhou wore a cloak made of white mink on his dark blue robes. Amidst the scarlet eyes, his blond hair was as bright as gold. A squire holds up a sharp silver sword.

The silver sword was also engraved with family crests, and Earl Wellingt held the sword in his hand, "By the authority granted to me by His Majesty, and in the name of the Gatling family, I, the seventh Earl Wellingt, confer upon you the Order of the Firefly. "

The tip of the sword struck Shen Han's left and right shoulders. Earl Wellingt picked up the medal and played with it in his hand. He obviously hated the improvement of the medal. It was no longer a pin and could not stab Shen Han's flesh.

The medal was worn on Shen Han's chest, and Zhuang Ye looked at it from the audience, only feeling a sharp pain.

Earl Wellingt's blue eyes were full of light, and his pupils were like blue crystal glass containers, full of fanaticism and pride. In his speech, he publicly said, "Those who serve as slaves in the empire can become brigadier generals of the federation. Superior at its best."

The word "slave" stirred up thousands of silent waves, and the camera immediately switched to Shen Han.The person who was being humiliated and stared at was actually at this moment - he lowered his head and smiled.

Earl Wellingt tensed a muscle from his back blade to the back of his neck, and a sense of foreboding crept up his spine like a shadow.He suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Han, saw Shen Han adjusting the medal on his chest, and asked the master of ceremonies, "It's my turn to give a speech?"

The master of ceremonies responded immediately, "The next 3 minutes is your speech time."

Shen Han stepped onto the podium, gave a military salute, and then smiled.He walks and salutes with the posture of an iron-blooded soldier. He is sharp and precise like a military machine, but when he looks down the stage with a smile, he is gentle and amiable, like a big brother next door who smiles cheerfully at you under the bright sun.

"We all know that the intention of this ceremony and this medal is to insult. And I did feel insulted at first, not only me, but also my family because of me."

His opening remarks shocked everyone, and the staff in charge of broadcasting panicked.Earl Wellingt clenched his hands tightly, his eyes flashed coldly, "Let him speak!"

There was a sharp pain in Shen Han's chest, and a scar that had been stitched up for many years was torn open. He still had to be relaxed and calm, "When I was born, our family was slaves of the empire."

This is the first time he has confessed this matter in public, and he will subconsciously resist when he mentions the word slave.But he must go on, this is the best opportunity to announce this matter, thousands of slaves in Angalo will see this scene.

"There is no shame in being poor, and it is also shameful to be insulted. The strange thing is that we are always ashamed of things that we should not be ashamed of, just as many times the perpetrator is not ashamed, but the victim is deeply ashamed."

Uneasiness spread in Earl Wellingt's heart, and he forced himself to stare at Shen Han with fierce eyes.

Confidence gradually returned to Shen Han, and he said with a smile, "Being a slave brought great pain to me and my family, so we made a choice."

Choose to escape, choose to hide, choose to go far to the border, choose to sneak out of the empire to the Federation.

The troops of the Empire and the Federation were stationed across the border, and people often ventured through several passes with complex terrain.The garrisons on both sides took no surprise at the stowaways, and the imperial border guards fired indifferently.The federal border guards can accept the fleeing slaves, but they cannot give the refugees any artillery cover, otherwise the border guards of the two countries will exchange fire, and the situation will immediately heat up.

They fled towards the border. The artillery shells of the imperial army did not cross the border. Once they crossed that line, they would be safe.At that moment, they only knew to run desperately, unable to care about the family and friends who fled together. A short sprint of tens of meters was the distance from death to life.

Zhuang Ye looked at this scene almost in shock, listening to Shen Han's voice, people from another country seemed to come from another world, how they crawled and struggled to touch the rights they had from birth.

Earl Wellingt's face was livid, "He is agitating for smuggling, stop broadcasting immediately!"

But the staff was flustered and stunned, "Where is the switch?...how could it be set there!...it can't be turned off, and the remote control is out of order..."

People panicked, and the broadcast was still going on, Shen Han stared at the camera, "It turns out that was the right choice. If I stayed in the empire, I would at best be a commended slave like I am today. One can only do in the empire Slaves who come to the Union can be a soldier and wear a general star. Earl Whitman thinks this symbolizes the superiority of the empire, but I think it is the opposite, which fully shows how corrupt and inferior the slave system of the empire is.”

Earl Wellingt no longer cared about his demeanor and manner, and ordered backwards, "Pull him down!"

Shen Han has already finished the last few words.

"I'm lucky that a lot of people believe that 'mother is the opposite of risk-taking', but my mother pointed out to her sons early on that freedom and equality are about fighting. The price of fighting is too high, sometimes even costing lives. But if freedom Peace and equality are more important to you than life, so remember, you are not without options."

The old Earl Wellington accused him of not understanding the meaning of loyalty. He understood loyalty, so he refused to offer loyalty to the empire.He chose Federation.

At that moment, Zhuang Ye fell into an illusion and saw light in Shen Han's body in a trance.

The broadcast was finally cut off. Due to the pressure exerted by Earl Wellingt for more than ten seconds, the camera crew present were sweating profusely and collapsed to the ground.

Earl Wellingt's blue eyes were burning, and he strode up to the stage and asked, "How dare you encourage slaves to flee to the Federation or launch a revolution during the imperial honor ceremony!"

Shen Han smiled, "I never mentioned 'fleeing to the Federation' or 'revolution', do you think that imperial slaves can only obtain freedom and equality through these two methods?"

"You - bold!" Earl Wellingt's hatred could overwhelm the auditorium, he drew out the long sword that was awarded the honor, and pointed the silver tip at Shen Han, "I, I want to fight you!"

"Please stop in moderation!" The resolute voice did not come from Shen Han, but from Zhuang Ye.The young man stopped in front of Shen Han, his face was serious, but his fair cheeks were flushed with anger.

A delicate and polite person is even more terrifying when he explodes, his eyes are shining brightly, making the hearts of those around him tremble.

Earl Wellington snorted and looked directly at Shen Han with deep hatred, "You don't dare to accept a duel and hide behind such a little boy."
