Shatov only got the truth from Gru and Lodi a little later, Shatov didn't believe his ears, and after hearing the news, he looked at Beasley beside him with strange eyes:

"Beasley, we've been working together for a while, and you're telling me honestly, do you know about it? You can't be deliberately hiding from me behind my back, are you? ”

Beasley's face was also full of astonishment, saying that he knew that this matter was indeed a great wrong, but he couldn't explain it, and the helpless Beasley spread his hands and said embarrassedly to Shatov with an angry face in front of him:

"Old friend, please believe me, I really don't know about this matter, I will immediately contact the military to conduct a comprehensive verification of this matter, I promise to find out about this matter, please believe me."

"Then go and find out, not only do I have to give an account to my brethren about this matter, but I also want to give myself a reason to continue to believe in you, and you better not disappoint me."

Shatov almost gritted his teeth and issued an ultimatum to Beasley.

The only group of people who celebrated each other were the base commanders and the dozen staff officers and intelligence officers gathered in the integrated command center, and the air and ground confirmed the targets they were looking for one after another, and the real-time transmission of the attack screen also made them see that the effect of the blow was extremely perfect, Leader walked up to Kobe, stretched out his hand and shook the hand of his old partner a few times, and then turned his head to look at Major Henry and said with appreciation:

"Major, you've done a good job, your whole team is outstanding, thank you, well done."

Major Henry and his team are truly excellent, and these data and intelligence analysts have been well deservedly praised for providing a wealth of rigorous data and arguments for their superiority in a very short period of time, from the initial identification of the suspect target to the tracking and locking of the target, from the development of the strike plan to the final attack.

General Leader saw the effect of the blow with his own eyes, and he believed that seeing was believing, but General Lead, who was not there and just looked out of the air, saw not the whole truth.

In the hours following the unexpected attack on Ionov's team, and until near dusk, information collected from different sources showed that the Chinese escort team that had brought the tracking and interception personnel to the uninhabited mountain village had once again broken away from the surveillance network set up by Lodi, Gru, and others, and disappeared into the vast mountains.

"This is an unfortunate incident, Shatov."

Beasley, who is subordinate to the CIA, used many connections to finally figure out what the purpose of the two attacks on this convoy by the Mi army was.

"A series of accidents contributed to this tragedy, and the escort team may have taken advantage of the loophole of our multi-party coordination and poor communication, so that we had a miscalculation in the execution of tactics, but I prefer that they were protected by God."

Beasley gave a brief account of the actions taken by the Mi military base after discovering the mysterious signal, and wanted to illustrate the need for an air strike, but this did not satisfy Shatov and Lodi on the other end of the phone.

"We are very concerned about how the relevant parties of the Mi Army will give us a convincing official explanation, and how to comfort and compensate the families of the casualties caused by this air raid, but this is all for later, and it is imperative that we have lost effective monitoring of the movements of that team. I hope that your intelligence services will share all the clues they have with us as soon as possible, and if you don't cooperate with us here, the tragedy will continue, but it is not necessarily our people who are unlucky, please reflect this. ”

Shatov's tone was still dissatisfied, and Shatov could bear the death of a few people, but the information revealed by Beasley made Shatov, who was originally only concerned about Semonov's whereabouts, begin to shift his attention to the latest movements of this escort team.

After arriving at the base, Semonov never appeared or made a speech on official occasions, which made Shatov, Lodi and others still not figure out where Semonov was going, and they did not guess the real purpose of the Chinese team's actions, but after this accidental bombing incident, especially when they got the information from the US military from Beasley, Shatov, Lodi and others realized the real purpose of the team's adventure to that base.

"Lodi, I suspect that the team ventured to that base for two purposes, one was to divert our attention with that double, so that Semonov could be hidden in the consulate so that he could get out there, and the other and most important purpose was to bring back from the base these cutting-edge equipment that their country urgently needed, maybe not only the wreckage of that plane, but also other things, you know, before that, their country's scientific researchers cooperated with that base. So I suspect that there must have been a lot of research in that base that they thought of, and Semonov's request for help from the Chinese consulate led to the deal. ”

Shatov spoke his judgment to Lodi on the other end of the line.

"You have a point, this can resolve some of our doubts, but after I returned to the city, I carefully checked the surveillance in the past few days, and also asked the people left behind here, from the information they fed back, and the surveillance video I watched did not find anything abnormal, the frequent bombing almost brought the entire operation of the consulate to a standstill, I didn't see anything abnormal, maybe it was really like Gru said, that old puff Semonov did not leave the consulate at all."

Lodi was still indignant at the thought of the successive failures these days, and then he continued:

"In this way, we can't easily let this team leave freely, before I arranged a few interception teams on the return route that they might pass, once the whereabouts of these people are discovered, the team members guarding other positions can quickly follow up, and then compress those people within a controllable range, after this air raid, I sent a professional mercenary with jungle warfare experience to the attacked position, and Gru also sent an additional team to that position, After they converge, they will follow the whereabouts of this and that team, and I think we will be able to get some updates on the movements of that team in a while, with what I know about that team, they will definitely not let the Mi army attack easily, and what the Mi army sees may be another illusion, if that team does bring back important things from the base, then I can almost conclude that these things are still in their hands. ”

Lodi gave her own inference.

Shatov nodded into the phone:

"Tell them to move quickly, we strive to intercept this squad before the Mi army, the Mi army spares no effort to strike in turn, it must be that those people have something vital in their hands, which makes the Mi army can't and dare not let go easily, if we can intercept it, then we will have a great initiative to quickly find out the whereabouts of those people."

The men sent by Lodi and Gru have yet to deliver the message, but Beasley has brought a piece of news that they secretly rejoice.

"I just got the information passed to us from the Mi Army base, the previously confirmed attack effect is not as expected, the action team we sent there still failed to find anything valuable at the attack site, the broken tail found is real, but only a small piece is not enough to explain the problem, there are many things we need to confirm that we have not been found there, thinking of the concept of his perception of this team that Lodi passed to us, We thought that what happened in that uninhabited village was still another trick they had played, in order to delay our follow-up pursuit, in exchange for space for their actions, the action team we sent went deep into the mountains and tracked for a distance, and lost the direction of pursuit at a multi-point intersection position, too few people and unfamiliar geography, so that they could not continue to follow, the commander in the base asked our action team to return to the city to standby first, and I also informed Lodi to try to contact them, Lao Sha, At this time, we have to work together to find the traces of this team as soon as possible is the top priority, as for the previous unpleasantness was caused by poor communication, so now we need to strengthen cooperation. ”

What Beasley didn't say was that he had been ordered by the top to find the team and the top-secret damaged equipment as his number one priority, and the troublesome team's actions here had attracted the closest attention from the top commanders of the entire European Theater of Operations.

It was already dusk when Lodi answered Shatov's phone again, and he told Shatov about some of the latest discoveries.

"When our men arrived at the scene of the incident, they found their traces in the dense forest behind the village, and also found the intersection of multiple directions that Beasley said their task force had found in the mountains, and we looked in several directions, and then found their whereabouts again in a ruined church that had been destroyed as early as World War II, and judging by the traces, they had hidden a few cars in that location beforehand, We judged that they may have taken these spare vehicles to a new location, where exactly we are investigating, there are no results yet, Comrade Chairman, for some of the actions of this team during this period, I can only say that we greatly underestimated their ability, they almost predicted all our possible follow-up actions, and we have indeed been walking along the route they designed for us, which makes us fall into the trap designed by the other party from time to time, therefore, We urgently need to change our fixed thinking. ”

Lodi was a little depressed and hung up.
