"Yes! Chief, so far there is no news from Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad. In the general staff operations conference room, Colonel Yu Qinghua said to Li Tao with a solemn face.

Hearing Colonel Tsinghua's words, Li Tao's already extremely dignified face looked even more ugly.

"This rescue mission can be said to have been completed very completely. Not only did they rescue the kidnapped Professor Hong and his team in a short period of time, but also enabled our country to achieve an unprecedented victory in the first foreign use of troops, which greatly intensified the morale of our army and showed that our army was reliable at a critical moment. Li Tao said with a solemn face.

"Humph! It's nice to say, it's not all yours this time. Li Chengdong, who was sitting on the side, said indignantly in his heart.

"The chief is right, this mission, Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the wolf tooth team have indeed completed it perfectly, which has greatly boosted the morale of our army. However, I heard that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a protest from the Sudan government, saying that we have sent a team of armed men into Sudan without their consent, and now there are already bad remarks in the international community about our army sending armed forces into Sudan without authorization. As soon as Li Tao's voice fell, he heard Deputy Director Li Chengdong say.

"Protest? What do they have to protest against? Our people were kidnapped, they didn't know about active rescue, but now they know about protesting. In a hurry, Lao Tzu personally led people to destroy them. ”

Afraid of the table, Li Tao roared angrily: "There are also those Western countries, which are simply only allowed to set fire to state officials and do not prepare the people to light lamps." I think their people were kidnapped. No, it is also an unauthorized dispatch of armed forces to rescue. ”

Li Tao's words were loud and clear. made Li Chengdong feel very embarrassed.

"You old boy, it's hard to speak at this time. Why didn't you take on this task yourself? Li Chengdong couldn't help but scold in his heart again.

At the same time, at this time, the door of the operational conference room of the General Staff was pushed open.

No, after seeing the person clearly, Colonel Yu Qinghua quickly stood up and walked to the person.

"Xiao Yao, is there something wrong?" I only heard Colonel Yu Qinghua say to the comer.

The young officer, who was called Xiao Yao by Colonel Yu Qinghua, was an operational staff officer in the General Staff and was under the jurisdiction of Tsinghua.

It's not. After Colonel Yu Qinghua walked in, he heard Staff Officer Xiao Yao say softly: "Chief, there is news from Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad." ”

"What? What did you say? Is there any news from Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad? ”

Yu Qinghua's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the General Staff Operations Conference Room to hear it clearly.

No, Li Tao, who had just calmed down, was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Less, what did you say?" Is there any news from Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad? Where are they now? ”

After giving Xiao Yao an encouraging look, Yu Qinghua pushed him in front of everyone.

"Chiefs. According to the latest information received, Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad are likely to have entered the Sude Swamp. Facing Li Tao and the others in the army, Xiao Yao calmed his mood for a moment, and then said softly.

"Sood-swamp? What is this place? Where exactly is it? His brow furrowed slightly. I only heard Li Tao ask in a deep voice.

As if he had known that Li Tao would ask such a question, at the same time that Xiao Yao spoke, Yu Qinghua had already begun to arrange for someone to turn on the electronic screen in the war conference room.

Therefore. After Li Tao opened his mouth to ask, the topographic map of Sudan and the surrounding countries of Sudan. It was immediately displayed in front of everyone.

"Yes here, here it is. This is the largest swamp in Africa and the largest in the world, the Sood Marsh. According to the information we received, Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Team should have withdrawn here. Shaking the mouse, Staff Officer Xiao Yao pointed out a red punctuation mark in one position, and then said in a deep voice: "According to our analysis, Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Team want to cross the entire Sood-German swamp and withdraw from there to Ethiopia. ”

"Do you know why they are retreating from there?" Looking at the topographic map of the Sude swamp that appeared on the map, Li Tao asked out loud while frowning.

"Due to the relatively recent time, the information we have collected is very limited, but according to the data analysis, the reason why Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Team chose this retreat route at that time was also a choice made out of desperation. At that time, there were nearly 10,000 armed men in the entire Sudan who were chasing and intercepting them. And our news came from the militants who pursued Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad. At the same time, we also heard the news that someone had offered a reward of one million for the capture of Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi alive. Staff Officer Xiao Yao told the information he had gathered.

"A million-dollar bounty? It seems that our Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi is very valuable! With a sneer, Li Chengdong said with some indifference.

As a result, as soon as Li Chengdong's words fell, he heard Li Tao say in a cold voice and asked, "What? Deputy Chief Li, isn't the first person in our army's special operations worth the price? ”

"Ugh!"

When Li Tao said this, Li Chengdong's face suddenly turned blue and white. No, looking at it embarrassedly, Li Chengdong was depressed to find that no one dared to meet his gaze in the huge combat conference room.

And being so mixed by Li Chengdong, Staff Officer Xiao Yao suddenly became embarrassed, and he didn't know if he should continue to talk.

"Alright, Xiao Yao! Go on! After seeing the embarrassment of his subordinates, after Li Chengdong stopped speaking depressedly, he only heard Yu Qinghua say softly.

Glancing at Yu Qinghua gratefully, Staff Officer Xiao Yao continued: "It is said that before entering the Sood-German swamp, Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad also fought a beautiful ambush battle with a group of militants. According to our analysis, Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi should have been here to replenish supplies. The other militants who arrived later did not find any bodies of Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the Wolf Tooth Squad, except for a pile of corpses. So, we guess that Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and they are all still alive. ”

"Why don't the militants keep chasing them?" After thinking about it, Li Tao asked out loud.

"According to the locals. In recent decades, no one has ever made it out of the swamp alive. And the most recent time someone entered the Sood-German swamp. It was almost fifty years ago. It is said that there were more than 200 people who entered the Sood-German swamp at that time, but only one of them made it out alive. And the only one alive. After walking out of the Sood-German swamp, he never said anything about what happened inside. However, before he died, the man warned his family that they should never enter the Sood-German swamp during their lifetime. ”

"Shhh

Hearing this young operational staff officer say this, everyone in the entire General Staff Operations Conference Room couldn't help but gasp.

"There are more than two hundred people, and only one person came out alive, Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi and the wolf tooth squad"

Come to think of it. Everyone didn't dare to think about it anymore, but they all turned their eyes to Li Tao.

Like everyone else, Li Tao's mood at this moment was also very bad, he didn't expect the situation in the Sude swamp to be so bad. At the moment, after pondering for a while, I only heard him continue to ask: "How big is the area of the Sud swamp?" ”

"It's about more than 5,000 square kilometers, and from the point where Lieutenant Colonel Wei Zi set off, the closest straight-line distance from Ethiopia is more than 300 kilometers." The operational staff officer replied.

"Can't you be rescued by plane?" After thinking about it, I only listened to Li Tao say.

"The situation in the Sood-German marshes is very special. No aircraft can be used in the sky above it. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Li Tao was a little puzzled, the operational staff officer hurriedly explained: "It is said that it is in the sky above the Sood-German swamp. There have been many instances of flying machines crashing and disappearing for no apparent reason. Therefore, the sky above the Sood-German swamp has now been listed as a no-fly zone by the countries around it. ”

"Isn't there a way to find them?" I heard this combat staff officer say this. Li Tao couldn't help but say angrily again.

With this operational staff officer, it is impossible for him to have the opportunity to report directly to Li Tao and other bigwigs in the army on weekdays. Therefore. Li Tao's anger made him cautious all of a sudden.

is different from this combat staff officer under his own command. Yu Qinghua knew that Li Tao was only so angry out of concern for Wei Zi and others.

No, after Li Tao's voice fell, there was a pause for about ten seconds, and then I heard Yu Qinghua say: "Xiaoyao, if you have anything to say, just say it directly to the chief, don't have any worries." ”

Hearing Yu Qinghua say this, Li Tao also realized that his tone was a little stiff. At the moment, I only heard him say: "Yes, say whatever you want, don't have any worries." If the information you provide is useful, I'll give you a great credit. ”

As soon as Yu Qinghua and Li Tao said this, this made this staff officer Xiaoyao no longer have any worries in his heart.

"According to the information we have gathered, the only person who made it out of the Sude swamp alive left a document before he died, which is said to record how he got out of the Sude swamp in the first place." Xiao Yao, an operational staff officer, said softly.

Xiao Yao's words were like a heart booster, which made Li Tao very excited, only to see him stand up from his seat suddenly, and at the same time, he asked excitedly: "Then do you know who this person's descendants are?" Where is he now? ”

Li Tao was so excited that his actions startled everyone.

However, it is also the expression of such a true temperament, which also makes everyone know that Li Tao cares about Wei Zi and the wolf tooth team.

"Immediately notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask them to contact the Ethiopian government immediately and try to find this person for me." After calming down, I only heard Li Tao say hurriedly.

"Chief, the style of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always been soft, and this matter is so urgent, please see if you can report to the chairman, and then ask him to come forward and contact the president of Ethiopia directly." After thinking about it, I only listened to Major General Qin Jielin from the First Division of the General Staff.

"Minister Qin, what you said is not right, it sounds as if our General Staff has an opinion on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That's not good! As soon as Major General Qin Jielin's voice fell, he heard Li Chengdong say a little impatiently.

"What's wrong with this, Lao Tzu just has an opinion on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That is the matter settled, and I will personally report to the Chairman in a moment. I don't believe it, the chairman won't leave it alone. (To be continued......)
