Capítulo 1198: Chapter 448: Judgment_5

Qin Qing turned his head and said to Su Ming.

“General Su Ming, it’s now your turn to make the accusation.”

“Alright, let me say it. Naz instructed Colonel Vakrat from the Moonlight Defense Bureau to send people to disrupt Miss Xilis’ signing event, then arrested Miss Xilis and the fans, and falsely accused Miss Xilis. This behavior is extremely vile, suspected of abusing power, profiteering, conspiring, and tarnishing the image of the Federation.”

Su Ming stated simply.

Qin Qing turned his head and asked Naz in a deep voice.

“Major General Naz, do you admit to the accusations made by General Su Ming?”

“I admit, I have realized my mistake, and I am willing to accept punishment.”

Naz responded with a face full of remorse.

Qin Qing, as a judge, also furrowed his brows. He hadn’t asked Su Ming to present evidence yet, and Naz admitted his guilt so readily.

There was no need for further trial, but Qin Qing still opened his mouth to inquire.

“General Naz, can you tell us why you framed Miss Xilis?”

“I went to ask Miss Xilis for help a while ago, but she wouldn’t give me face, and I was really unable to swallow this grievance. In a moment of confusion, I did such a thing. Regarding this matter, I have deeply recognized my mistake and am willing to accept any punishment.”

Naz directly took all responsibility.

Sir Xinlad is currently at a critical point for promotion to General, and any bad influence can potentially cause problems with his promotion.

Therefore, Naz could only grit his teeth and admit fault.

After listening to Xinlad, Qin Qing turned his head and asked Admiral Xinlad in a deep voice.

“General Xinlad, do you have anything to say regarding Major General Naz’s mistake?”

“Naz really disappoints me. I suggest the Judicial Court give him the highest level of punishment to serve as a warning to all generals present. Let everyone abide by their duties and avoid engaging in such absurd acts.”

Xinlad spoke righteously and sternly.

Qin Qing turned his head to ask Su Ming.

“General Su Ming, do you have anything to add?”

“No.”

Su Ming also had nothing to say.

What more could he say? Naz had already admitted his guilt and reflected on it in court, and Xinlad had made a noble sacrifice. If he kept pressing, the other generals who were witnessing might have objections.

Qin Qing stayed silent for a few seconds, then announced the verdict on the spot.

“I announce that Admiral Su Ming’s accusation against Major General Naz is valid. According to Federation law, Major General Naz is to receive a significant disciplinary action, suspension for reflection, and a demotion from Major General to Colonel.”

Upon hearing this punishment, everyone was stunned and began to discuss.

“So severe?”

“Isn’t the punishment too heavy?”

“Wasn’t Major General Naz about to be promoted to Vice Admiral? This directly reverts him, all his military achievements are nullified.”

…

Su Ming couldn’t help but glance at Naz.

At this time, although Naz did not have any rebuttal to the trial’s outcome, the muscles on his face involuntarily twitched, and his hand lowered into a fist.

This punishment for him was like losing half his life.

If it were any harsher, he would be directly forced into retirement.

Next, Su Ming glanced sideways at Xinlad, and noticed that Xinlad’s expression hadn’t changed at all.

“Order!”

Seeing the chaotic scene, Qin Qing spoke solemnly.

The scene gradually quieted down.

“Major General Naz, do you have any objections to the verdict? Do you want to appeal?”

Qin Qing made a last inquiry to Naz.

“No objections.”

Naz responded through clenched teeth.

“Very well, the court session is hereby concluded.”

Qin Qing declared the end of the trial and turned away directly.

At this moment, Admiral Xinlad walked to the front of everyone and spoke seriously to them.

“Listen well, the reason I brought you here today is to make you learn a lesson. No matter who violates military discipline, I, Xinlad, will handle it impartially, without leniency!”

“Yes, Sir Xinlad!”

All officers present responded admiringly.

Su Ming watched the scene, his gaze flickering continuously.

At this time, Rhein lowered his voice and said to Su Ming.

“Boss, something seems off, this Xinlad actually handled it impartially, without any favoritism.”

“It would be better if he showed favoritism, but since he dealt with it impartially, you all need to be cautious around him in the future.”

Su Ming also couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

He feels that he must be more careful even when sleeping; someone so narrowly-minded could deal with his deputy impartially.

It shows that this person’s cunning and means are not just deep and ruthless.

“Understood.”

Rhein and the others also felt uneasy in their hearts.

Just then, a sudden piercing alarm sounded.

“What is the situation?”

Vice Admiral Alifei and others were suddenly startled.

“Everyone calm down, don’t panic.”

Admiral Xinlad shouted to everyone.

The scene immediately quieted down, and Xinlad quickly raised his wrist communicator to connect to the command room.

Soon the communication was successfully established, and an operator’s image appeared.

“What’s happened?”

Xinlad asked directly.

“Report, Sir Xinlad! We detected large-scale abnormal spatial fluctuations in the starry sky 23,410,000 kilometers away, possibly indicating an unknown object is making a remote jump.”

“Present the image!”

Xinlad calmly and coolly instructed.

“Yes!”

The operator responded immediately.
