Chapter 1 Deadlocked Meetings
At this time, in the headquarters base of the Central Special Operations Bureau on the outskirts of the capital city of the Celestial Empire, all the staff could feel that the atmosphere that had permeated the past few days was even heavier than before.
Especially after all the high-level officials of this base gathered for an emergency meeting, the feeling was even more unsettling.
The first to erupt in dissatisfaction was Minister Zhou of the IT Information Intelligence Department, who, as the highest-ranking chief counsel of cyber information security in the entire Celestial Empire, not only had to deal with many things, but even had to attend their emergency meetings.
"I don't think it's Stinger's fault!" Minister Zhou didn't take all the important people present seriously, and directly said his thoughts, "None of you are fighting on the front line, of course you don't know how urgent the situation was at that time!" β
"You calm down." The ghost slayer sitting next to him couldn't help but remind in a low voice.
"I can't calm down! Can you bear the fact that they are questioning the stinger?! Minister Zhou looked indignant, "They pushed him to the forefront!" A defeat wiped out his previous military exploits, what is this called?! β
"Minister Zhou, please pay attention to your words!" Seeing that this Minister Zhou really couldn't bear to be angry, Director Zhao hurriedly stopped it.
Hearing that Director Zhao had already spoken, Minister Zhou naturally didn't want him to be embarrassed, so he had to keep his mouth shut for the time being.
This is the most solemn and largest high-level emergency meeting since the outbreak of the zombie virus, and this meeting has been going on for nearly six hours.
Those present at the meeting included high-level advisers to the Central Special Operations Bureau, senior cadres of the Military Commission, and representatives of major military bases, totaling nearly half a hundred, and the scene was quite spectacular.
Director Zhao, who was sitting on the main podium, was the main person in charge of this meeting, and he looked around at the people with different expressions very calmly, and his deep and complex eyes made it completely impossible to see through his thoughts at this time.
"It seems that it is necessary for us to reassess the combat capabilities of the Black Brigades, a terrorist organization." Jiang Ji, a representative of the Ministry of National Defense, said this sentence under strong pressure, "They did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to use armored troops to carry out a feint attack, so that the northwest military base did not dare to act casually." β
"Then did he dare to so blatantly kidnap Lu Yiting in the area near the northwest military base." Jiang Ji felt the gaze of everyone and continued, "I also think that this is not the fault of the armed combat adviser Stinger, even if he is replaced by the general of the commander of the three armies to command this operation, I am afraid that he will be led by the nose by the black brigade." β
The faces of all the people present at the meeting on behalf of the general changed slightly, after all, it was really uncomfortable to be shot while lying down.
Jiang Ji's words completely spoke to Director Zhao's heart, no matter what, Director Zhao had to protect his brother.
Besides, he has been friends with Stinger for nearly twenty years, and he knows quite well what Stinger's skills are.
"General Shao has something to say." As General Shao's representative, he immediately raised his hand and signaled.
"Please." Director Zhao immediately replied.
General Shao's representative immediately pressed a turn button on the tablet in his hand, and then an optical display screen was immediately mapped on the screen, and then General Shao's smiling face with unknown meaning appeared on it.
"Why, are the conservative old men still stubborn?" General Shao, that is, Shao Xiaofang's father Shao, said such an unceremonious sentence as soon as he opened his mouth.
Those who know General Shao have long been accustomed to his seemingly indecent old naughty appearance, but his laughter is infiltrating, which means that he is in anger.
The people present were actually national heavyweights, but in the face of such obvious sarcastic words of General Shao, no one dared to refute them.
After all, the Shao family has been in the army for several generations, and almost every member of the Shao family has climbed to the position of a high-level cadre in the military region with his true strength, and naturally no one dares to underestimate this ability.
And since General Shao retired into the background, their Shao family has not declined because of this.
Although General Shao rarely shows up now, and is basically in a state of semi-retirement, to this day, their Shao family's words and deeds still have weight.
Of course, Director Zhao saw that this General Shao finally couldn't bear to speak out, so he was very refreshed.
Because he knew that General Shao had always been at odds with those conservatives, perhaps the general's intervention could break the deadlock in the meeting.
"Do you know that it is because of your stubbornness that it will lead to defeat?!" General Shao's tone was quite stern, "What kind of branch schools are you still engaged in at this time, isn't this looking for death?!" The reason why the Black Brigades are becoming more and more rampant is because they are fearless, they are not afraid of us at all! β
Everyone has the impression that General Shao is always amiable and inspiring with a warm smile.
But those who had not seen him angry were still confused by his reprimand.
"What is the arsenal of the Southwest Military Region doing when Stinger is leading those dozens of young men in their twenties in the border area?! Didn't you know to provide equipment rescue without an order from above?! The state raises you for dry food?! β
"When the Northwest Military District was suppressed by the armored units of the Black Brigade, what was the Winged Tiger Squadron doing?! You can't all unite and want to win, you're naΓ―ve, right?! Do you want me to go into battle to kill the enemy in person this year?! β
Although General Shao was not the most powerful person in this meeting, his rebuke directly silenced everyone present.
"General Shao, please calm your anger." Director Zhao immediately reassured, "General Shao has already sent his son to the front line, how can you let you go into battle in person." β
"I really want to go into battle in person, but the years are not forgiving." General Shao snorted angrily, knowing that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire were always deflated by the Black Brigade, he felt quite uncomfortable.
"General Shao, the poisonous wolf team you have cultivated is very powerful, and you can be regarded as a great hero in this battle." Director Zhao hurriedly buttoned down a big high hat.
"Director Zhao, don't come with me like this." General Shao obviously didn't buy it, "I know very well how many hairy boys the Poisonous Wolf Team have. For now, I just want to know what you want to do, there is no point in this meeting going any further. β
General Shao has always been such a straightforward person, but fortunately, there is a General Fang by his side who is very good at being a man, so that he will not offend everyone.
"Does General Lin have any insights?" General Shao looked directly at General Lin's representative through the optical display.
General Lin is Lin Yun's grandfather and General Shao's revolutionary friend. The relationship between the two is very good, and it is almost a close friend who talks about everything.
Then another optical display screen also appeared in the middle of the staircase-shaped conference room, and General Lin's appearance immediately appeared in it.
"Lao Shao, don't drag me into the water for anything, although your words are deeply rooted in my heart." General Lin's opening sentence was this, which made everyone else cry and laugh.
Dare this meeting become a place for these two generals to catch up?
"What are you pretending to be reserved?" General Shao directly joked, "Now that the main personnel of the Black Brigade have fled outside the border, transnational actions are inevitable, and Lu Yiting can't just give up, this child still has to be saved." β
He said this to remind those present that the situation is tricky now, but no matter how tricky it is, you can't give up.
"Now zombies are rampant, and all countries are taking care of themselves." General Lin sighed, "Even if we go through the formal way to apply for a foreign entry permit, I'm afraid we will encounter many setbacks." β
"That's the contradiction." Director Zhao immediately spoke, "Stinger has already applied for a direct entry combat request, but the seniors obviously do not agree with such a barbaric and direct approach. β
One of the conservatives went on to say: "If you cross the border directly, you will be caught by other countries, and you will be deported at least and start a war." Either outcome is not what we want. β
"If you apply for an entry permit according to your ideas, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to catch up with the time to collect the body of Lu Yiting's little pot friend." General Shao's rhetoric became sharper and sharper, "And what about you not agreeing to the united front?" Is it time to take into account international border law? β
International border law was made clear more than 20 years ago, and emphasized, that a large number of troops should not be massively assembled in border areas.
Because in this era of advanced science and technology, it is easy to cause panic in neighboring countries, which will lead to war.
Now the conservatives of the Celestial Empire are obviously afraid of this international border law, so they will not support them in time.
That's why General Shao is so angry. After all, most of the military's powers are still in the hands of conservatives.
"We can't let the whole country take risks for the sake of Lu Yiting alone." Another conservative also spoke, "Because the zombie virus is still raging, the relationship between countries is already at a sensitive time. Therefore, once our special forces directly cross the border, there is a great chance of starting a war. β
Each has its own reasoning and opinions, and the reasons for both sides are sufficient. Director Zhao has no way to judge which side is absolutely right, because both sides have reasonable points.
That's why the meeting was deadlocked for six hours, with neither side budging and stubborn.
I thought that the appearance of General Shao could turn the tide and tilt this stalemate.
But Director Zhao miscalculated this time, and even General Shao said it so sharply and bluntly, those conservatives still gritted their teeth and did not let go.
couldn't help but sigh, Director Zhao's heart was actually not as calm and calm as it seemed on the surface, he was very worried about Lu Yiting's safety.
He really wanted the meeting to come to an end, and he wanted to try to rescue the child as soon as possible anyway.
ββββThe seventh part of "The Truth of the Final Counterwar" was officially launched, and I hope that you can continue to support it.
