101 Chapter 101

The prosecution of the Elsa Star incident was Colonel Neville of the First Legion, and the defendant was Colonel Lanshan of the Second Legion. In the final analysis, this was a conflict between the First Legion and the Second Legion.

According to convention, when this happens, in order to make the judgment result as fair as possible, the members of the trial team must exclude the officials of these two legions, and only military personnel and third legions can be held.

At about eight o'clock, the trial began on time.

According to the process, the President first introduced the prosecutor and the members of the trial team to all.

The prosecutor was Mr. Steele of the Military Department, and the eight members of the trial team were all from the Third Legion.

Lan Shan looked around and found that the onlooker seat was full, and the senior executives of the three major legions were present, which showed that she attached great importance to today's trial.

Gao Li couldn't bear to look at the formation of the trial team and asked softly, "Can't the members of the trial team add two more military personnel? Why are they all from our Third Legion!"

This is too explicit. Although it was not his arrangement, he couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face.

Adding two military officials to the trial team will at least be better on the face. Anyway, two to six, the final result will still be in the hands of the Third Legion.

Admiral Gauguin said, "This is the safest way. Otherwise, if anyone implements the right to terminate a vote, they will re-enter the review and filing process, and our efforts in the previous few months will be in vain."

Gao Li, “—”

According to regulations, the members of the trial group vote to decide the trial results. At the same time, in order to avoid misjudgment and concealment/box/operation as much as possible, each trial group member also has one vote to terminate. When someone believes that the trial process is illegal or the result is too unreasonable, this power can be exercised to terminate the trial, so that the case can be entered into the review and filing process again, and the trial will be held again.

Now there will be a situation where all the eight judges are from the Third Legion. On the one hand, it is because General Gauguin is unwilling to waste time and eliminate all the possibility of extraneous troubles. On the other hand, it also shows that the real power of the military headquarters is becoming increasingly limited, resulting in many systems no longer exerting their due effect and gradually becoming formal.

Next, the prosecutor reads the indictment and publicizes the various evidence materials investigated after the case is filed.

The content of the indictment is very concise and clear, which means that this court has held a trial of a second-year student in the military command major of the Demosen Military Academy. He is currently under Colonel Lanshan, the Second Corps of the Imperial Star Wars Army. He is suspected of maliciously concealing military information, interfering with friendly combat plans and disrupting the situation during the war against the federal invading army of the Weissen Army from June to August 459.

It only took ten minutes to read, and then the prosecutor publicized various evidence materials. Due to the large amount of information, it took a little longer to make the public disclosure.

Part of this evidence was provided by Colonel Neville, and part of it was obtained by the task force after the case was filed.

The starting point of time is when the Noah fleet and Emma fleet set off from the Giza Star Group Station to the Isa Star.

Many military operations that were not confidential were very easy to find evidence. Even before the two fleets set off, General Song encouraged the two colonels to work hard in public and expelled the Weiss from the Demosen star field and were found by the task force as evidence, proving that General Song's order at that time was to let the two fleets act together.

Next is the several conversation records between him and Lan Shan during the march provided by Colonel Neville. The contents are similar. They discuss the operation arrangements of the next two fleets, which also proves from the indirect evidence that the two fleets are going to act together.

The last paragraph and the most powerful evidence is that after they occupied Elsa Star, Colonel Neville came to Lanshan to discuss whether to continue attacking the Nasca Mining Star Belt in the next step, but Lanshan refused with sufficient reason.

It seems that Colonel Neville is also a very cautious person. During his expedition with Noah's fleet, he kept the video records of all the communications with Lan Shan.

In the light screen, Colonel Neville persuaded very earnestly, "...At this time, we will continue to attack the Nasca Mine Star to lead them to the possibility that they will not be able to defend it. It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity."

Lan Shan refused on the grounds that General Song had specifically emphasized before going to the war that he did not ask them to take advantage of the victory and pursued them.

The picture finally freezes on Colonel Neville's face showing a hint of regret.

The prosecutor began to ask Lanshan, "Col. Lanshan, in this image, you told Colonel Neville that General Song of Song had ordered you not to continue chasing the Nasca Mining Belt. The fact that afterwards was that Colonel Neville had just led the Emma fleet to return to the Giza Star Group, you led the Noah fleet to attack the Nasca Mining Belt. What explanation do you have for this?"

Lan Shan replied calmly, "Mr. Steele, the situation during the war has changed rapidly, and the main purpose of our battle is to expel the invading Ves army. The Nazca Mining Belt is too close to the border of the Demosen Star Domain, which is the best springboard for the Vess invasion. At the right time, of course, we should attack immediately and occupy the Nazca Mining Belt. Is this wrong behavior?"

Prosecutor Mr. Steele, "Col. Lanshan, we are not discussing the right or wrong of attacking the NASCAR Mine Belt. The question now is whether you have clearly told Colonel Neville that he would not continue the attack, causing him to return early, but immediately led the Noah fleet to attack the NASCAR Mine Belt, which deliberately mislead Emma's fleet?"

Lan Shan, "Yes, but not deliberately misleading!"

Mr. Steele, “Isn’t this deception of lies and deception deliberately misleading?”

Lan Shan looked at him indifferently, "Has the task force confirmed it to General Song?"

Prosecutor Mr. Steele was stunned by her question, "What is it confirmed?"

Lan Shan, "Certify that he had not given me such a verbal order before we set out?"

Mr. Steele, "Col. Lanshan, the fact that you immediately took the Noah fleet to capture the Nasca Mine Star Belt after the Emma fleet returned. This is enough to show that General Song has never issued an order not to allow attack."

Lan Shan did not follow his thoughts and continued to say, "That means that the task force did not confirm it to General Song. Since this is the case, please pay attention to the words. This is the court, not the Star Network Forum. Without conclusive evidence, such words as lies and deception should not be used at will!"

Mr. Steele frowned, "Do you mean that General Song did give you such a verbal order? But the fact is that your subsequent behavior was contrary to it, and he violated his order. How do you explain this?"

Lan Shan, "This does not require explanation. When fighting, you need to adapt to local conditions and make the best judgment based on actual conditions. Before attacking Elsa Star, General Song asked us to be careful and not rush to pursue. This is not inconsistent with the fact that we found that the situation was very conducive to continuing the attack after occupying Elsa Star, so we took further actions."

The prosecutor found that the topic was a bit off the line. He was now trying the case of Colonel Lanshan misleading his friendly forces and disrupting the situation of the war. He was not chasing whether she had disobeyed her superiors' orders. This is something her superior General Song should care about.

He coughed and reiterated the question, "Col. Lanshan, the question now is how do you explain that you are clearly acting with the Emma fleet but letting the other party leave early? If you can't give a sufficient and reasonable reason, the court will convict you of deliberately misleading your friendly forces and disrupting the situation!"

Lan Shan lowered her eyes, seemed to smile, and then raised her eyes, "Col. Neville has provided so much video information as evidence, so do I have the right to provide one?"

The prosecutor looked at the court chief and looked for consultation.

The president hesitated for a moment. The reason why the news of the trial was kept until last night was that he did not want to leave any preparation time for Lan Shan, so that she could collect strong defense materials for herself, and then brought variables to the trial, which had not yet been sentenced but had already determined the result.

Unexpectedly, they had already arranged so carefully. Lan Shan could still find evidence with her. It would be too unreasonable if she didn't allow her to provide it at this time, so she hesitated and nodded, "Yes."

Lan Shan provides an encrypted information saved in her personal terminal.

The information content was an important information that Demosen's side had detected at that time: General Yang Wei, who was in the federal army of the Weiss, had worsened his injuries. The Weiss people were likely to send a fleet to escort him back to the Central Star of the Weiss, and the remaining forces of the remaining troops were already very weak. If they were to split up some of their forces to escort General Yang Wei, the remaining troops would not be enough to defend the space transfer station of the Nasca Mine Belt. This was a good opportunity to attack immediately.

It happened that Lan Shan received this message half an hour after Colonel Neville led the Emma fleet to leave Aisha Star.

After the announcement, Lan Shan and others said, "Because I received this important piece of information after the Emma fleet left, the Noah fleet changed its plan to return in two days and immediately attacked the Nasca Mine Star Belt. This has nothing to do with deliberately misleading friendly forces. All my actions are to maximize the interests of the war situation."

Since the sending of encrypted information requires the use of military Benedict Star Network technology, the content and time cannot be changed to fake, so the evidence provided by Lanshan must be true. She did receive such information half an hour after the Emma fleet took off.

However, although the evidence is true, it cannot be ruled out that this was arranged in advance by Lan Shan. After all, ordering the scouts in front to determine the time. It is not difficult to send her such an encrypted message half an hour after the Emma fleet took off.

Mr. Steele immediately questioned, "Col. Lanshan, it was too coincidental when you received this information. It was impossible for people to suspect that this was probably an advance arrangement."

Lan Shan said bluntly, "Mr. Steele, I have to remind you again, evidence! What we talked about in court is evidence, not speculation or suspicion!"

Mr. Steele no longer went to debate with her, so as not to be deviated from the topic again, and continued, "There is another most incomprehensible question. Since you received this important piece of information, the Emma fleet had only left for half an hour, why didn't you inform them to return immediately?! Instead, let them return to the Giza cluster without knowingly!"

Lan Shan, "At that time, Emma's fleet had already begun to cross the wormholes and could not be contacted."

Mr. Steele refused to give in. "According to the navigation log of Emma Fleet, they chose to cross the wormhole halfway, which means you can contact them in three hours."

Lan Shan, "Waiting for three hours, communication also takes time. If the Emma fleet decides to return, it will take at least three and a half hours to four hours on the way. That is to say, if you wait for the Emma fleet to come back and act together, it will be delayed for more than eight hours. Mr. Steele, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and eight hours are enough to happen a lot."

Mr. Steele, "So you're just trying not to delay those eight hours?"

Lan Shan, "Yes."

Mr. Steele nodded and turned to the President, "I'm done with my questions." Then he bowed to everyone present and returned to his seat.

The President announced that he had entered the ruling stage of the trial team.

The eight members of the trial team gathered together and discussed for a while, and finally one of the oldest members stood up, "The trial team believed that Colonel Ashika's reasons for defending himself and the evidence provided were insufficient, and there were doubts, which were not enough to overturn the task force's investigation results."

The president asked Lan Shan for the last time according to the regulations, "Col. Lan Shan, do you have anything else to defend yourself before the trial team makes the final ruling?"

Lan Shan, "I——"

She knew it must be the result, and the reason why she struggled to provide evidence to defend herself was because her attitude towards this matter was to just accept the result, but she did not want to leave any stain on her life.

This trial will inevitably be recorded. With the self-defense just now, she will just need to reprint the trial records and publish them when she wants to revise the case. Many seemingly rather than ambiguous aspects are doubtful and insufficient in interpretation by the current trial team; and letting her interpret it herself will have another meaning.

Lan Shan's eyes slowly scanned the court, and stayed for two more seconds when they met General Song's gaze, and then moved away expressionlessly.

The moment General Song touched her eyes, he suddenly felt the illusion that Lan Shan would say the real reason in public in court - she would say that all the things she did were actually for him.

The Emma fleet that left the First Legion and the Second Legion occupied the Nasca Mining Star Belt alone was definitely the result he wanted most, so she did this. This is the answer given by Lan Shan when she was on the Blue Shield Star.

If Lan Shan really said this, it would not affect the outcome of the trial, and it would only make the scene a little embarrassed.

However, General Song was surprised to find that he was not repelled from this premonition, and even felt that he was likely to be moved. The result of being moved is that he would give the other party a corresponding explanation in the near future.

How to explain in detail? Because the time is too short, General Song couldn't imagine that far away, but what is certain is that he must not bear to let the other party down too disappointed.

But Lan Shan was not as impulsive as he thought.

She continued, "—I don't have much to say. There is only one reason for doing this, that is, for the benefit of the Dermosen Empire, the purpose of my actions on the battlefield is to maximize the interests of the battle situation."
