Chapter 559: The Mastermind in the Rear

"From my personal perspective, I want to ask a question."

"The external war is tense, and I have already sent you an order for a very large starship five years ago."

"I can also see the starship skeleton being built outside."

"I just want to ask, why is the construction progress of the starship so slow?"

"The troops on the front line are seriously short of ships. When will your starships be put into the battlefield?"

Jack Hou's face turned pale when he heard this, obviously sensing something not good.

He looked at the two people in front of him again, and felt a hair in his heart.

Faced with Nan Hou's coercion, he remained silent for two or three seconds before finally adjusting his mentality and preparing to respond with the same old rhetoric:

"Sorry, the construction of the starship is a secret approved by the Dragon Emperor and cannot be disclosed."

"If you two want to investigate, I need to ask my superiors for instructions first..."

"Forget it, there's no need for it." Nan Hou stood there and interrupted him coldly.

Then, she walked up to him step by step, stared at him coldly from above, and spoke slowly:

"To be honest, we are here today just to find you...and you, to settle the accounts together!"

"The starship is lagging behind, and the front line must be filled with lives!"

"Five years! Tens of thousands of soldiers have sacrificed their lives, all because of you!"

After finishing speaking, Nanhou finally couldn't hold back his anger.

He directly raised his hand and punched Jack Hou hard in the face.

This punch even had some green light with dragon markings, obviously he was angry.

After all, Jack Hou was not a professional fighter. He was punched unexpectedly. His eyes immediately turned white, foaming at the mouth and he fell to the ground twitching.

The scene was in an uproar, and Li Yang next to him also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Nan Hou just clenched his fists again and looked at the people in front of him, his face full of determination.

"Everyone here, stop!" Nan Hou shouted in a deep voice, and a green dragon pattern suddenly emerged from his arm, circling around him, covering everyone in the entire command room.

"Everyone present, please line up, let's check one by one!"

"If you tell the truth about all the problems, you will be spared. If you dare to tell a lie, you will be killed without mercy!"

Nanhou's eyes were filled with unprecedented anger.

You know, half an hour ago, when the Dragon Emperor said that he would be appointed to carry out the "Annei" mission, the general kept shaking his head and refused.

Of course he would not believe that instead of being grateful, the people he protected with his body wall were lying in the back and frantically sucking the blood of the frontline soldiers.

Li Yang saw it and nodded secretly.

This first stop seemed to be the right one.

In the past few years, Blue Star's frontline has suffered repeated defeats. Every time it was defeated by the Yao Ri people's counterattack at the critical moment of victory, it was all due to the drag of the incompetent and corrupt people in the rear.

Now that the Dragon Emperor was finally determined to eradicate this stubborn disease, as a border guard general, it was natural that the Southern Marquis could not show any mercy.

There was silence in the huge command room, with only Nanhou's decisive voice echoing.

The staff here were shrouded in dragon patterns, all showing frightened expressions, and they stood in line obediently.

Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then slowly stepped forward, picked up the dragon seal and threw it gently. The dragon seal bloomed with dazzling light in the air.

"Everyone, since you all belong to the Dragon Emperor, you must naturally take responsibility for your actions." Li Yang said solemnly, "What happened today is to eliminate those who are seeking personal gain and perverting the law in Blue Star, and to return all the people. Everyone is fair!"

"If you can explain everything clearly, there may be a chance to find forgiveness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member walked out tremblingly and bowed forward:

"Report...report to you two. I am just a grassroots employee and have no knowledge of the decisions made by the superiors..."

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Nan Hou shouted angrily. The green dragon pattern suddenly tightened, imprisoning the man in place.

"The grassroots? The grassroots who wear a suit and tie and sit in an air-conditioned room with their legs crossed and doing nothing?"

"You people turned a blind eye to the blood of the frontline soldiers, and you still want to disguise your identity and escape punishment today? It's simply ridiculous!"

He turned around and looked around with burning eyes:

"Next, who will tell me why the progress of this starship factory is so slow? Who is lining their own pockets and ignoring the lives of frontline soldiers?"

The staff looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.

At this moment, Jack suddenly came to his senses while he was twitching on the ground. He suddenly stood up from the ground, fell to his knees, and replied in a sharp voice:

"I'm telling you! I'm telling you! I can't see Taishan. I didn't expect that you two are here to do this!"

"You two sirs have a lot, I'll tell you all!"

"The adults above told me to do this... We are just following orders!"

"Adults? Which adults, please tell me clearly!" Nan Hou's eyes narrowed, and the dragon pattern tightened again.

But in fact, the thick list in Li Yang's hand has already explained everything.

Hou Jack trembled and stumbled as he repeated:

"Yes...it's the high-level bosses from various countries. They have been interfering in the construction process of the starship factory."

"In order to seek personal gain, they requested that some funds and materials be transferred to other areas, thereby delaying the production progress... They even have contact with the Yaori people!"

"We...we are all just following orders, but...we just did something a little less moral..."

Before he finished speaking, Hou Jieke's eyes suddenly rolled back and he foamed at the mouth, as if he had suddenly been electrocuted.

Nan Hou's face froze, and he obviously saw something.

Hou Jieke fell to the ground and rolled in pain, and the staff beside him also began to look terrified.

Nan Hou went forward to check, and saw a dark red mark under his neck, which was emitting strange energy fluctuations.

"It seems that someone has implanted a self-destruct device in him. This mark is a bit like the one on the Sun. What do you think? General Nan Hou?"

Li Yang squatted down and looked at it carefully, and then said calmly:

"This must be because they are afraid that he will reveal too much inside information."

"It doesn't matter, I can handle it." Nan Hou sighed, and the dragon seal in his hand was slightly glowing with green light.

He walked forward, and a faint light representing the holy plant came out from his hand and slowly covered Hou Jieke's neck.

Suddenly, the ominous energy fluctuations were shocked by the dragon pattern, and Hou Jie Ke gradually recovered.

"Thank you... Thank you for saving my life..."

Hou Jie Ke coughed several times before finally recovering from the half-dead state.

"Save you? Don't get me wrong."

Nan Hou spoke seriously, his expression sharp:

"Who else is behind everything? Tell me!"

Hou Jie Ke was startled, as if he had made a great decision, and then he slowly spoke:

"I say... I say..."

"The mastermind is several members of the Federal Parliament. They monopolized the production rights of starships, and used this to sell arms to the outside world, making a lot of money... and even cooperated with the Sun Empire..."
