CHAPTER 13 N.O 13 Catching Rats
Just as Turner and Elesis piloted their mechs into the enemy's stronghold, Baraya, a young officer jumped up from his seat in the city, in the Argus Army's Information Department.
He carefully took out a note from the instrument in front of him, a state-of-the-art information transceiver capable of sending and receiving messages, and ...... Used to intercept intelligence.
The minimum standard for using this instrument is 60 intelligence, 45 will, and 60 perception, and to be able to possess such attributes, it is no wonder that this officer is so young, but already has the rank of captain, yes, this young man who looks only in his early 20s is already a captain in the Argus Army.
Carefully tucked the note into his pocket, the young captain hurried out, and as he passed the room of the Chief of Information, Major Taryn, he walked straight to the door of the High Command in Baraya, without pausing.
When the two soldiers standing guard at the door saw him, their first reaction was not to stop him, but to give a neat military salute, and then help him open the door one left and one right, wait for the young captain to enter, and then close the door.
Lieutenant Mohai can enter and exit the general headquarters without reporting, this is the order that the two of them received 10 days ago.
At this time, there was only one person in the big room of the headquarters except Mo Hai, and it was an old man, with a little white hair drilled out of the neat brim of the military hat he was wearing, and the wrinkles on his stiff face that could not be concealed seemed to tell people about the extraordinary past of this old man.
"General!" Mo Hai walked behind the old man and gave a military salute respectfully and concisely.
"Ah, it's Mohai." It was only at this time that the old man seemed to come back to his senses from the three-dimensional map in front of him, turned around, showed a kind smile, and said, "Every time you appear in front of me, it always surprises me, I don't know what it is this time?" ”
What the old man said was not polite, since this war, the two have met face-to-face like this, plus this time, a total of 4 times.
The first time was before launching a general attack on this planet, it was this young man who made a military order in front of the old man, and then with his elite information team, cut off the signal transmission of the entire planet for a full 15 minutes, and it was these 15 minutes that laid the foundation for the victory of the Argus army.
The second time was after the Argus Army established a solid ground defense line, and it was this young man, who accurately judged the location of the Kona Federation defenders' lair through the direction of signal transmission to the entire planet, and the old man immediately made a decision and sent all 100 Gale Type 2 mechs out, piercing the enemy's heart like a sharp sword.
The third time, ten days earlier, in the midst of a military meeting, the young man, at the risk of being shot by the guards, ran up to the old man out of breath and spoke a word to the old man in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Report to the general, I have just intercepted a piece of information that there are rats of the enemy in our army."
Rats do not exactly mean to look down or despise, and in the military, people are also used to referring to undercover agents or spies as ...... Mouse!
And this fourth time......
"General." Mo Hai took out the hidden note and handed it to the old man, with a hint of excitement in his expression, "This is the enemy information I just intercepted, I have found the rat's nest!" ”
"You're doing a great job." The old man nodded approvingly, and unfolded the note, which contained only eight words.
"At any cost, destroy the picture and kill people!"
"The general praised it." A hint of admiration flashed on Mo Hai's slightly immature face, only he knew that the reason why he was able to discover the rat nest so quickly was due to this old man.
Ever since he found out that there were rats ten days ago, he concentrated his efforts on digging them out, but the other party seemed to have discovered something and hid himself deeply, until two hours ago, when the general and his own soldiers handed him something.
It was a piece of news, and the presumptuous content was that the Argus Army had just captured a Conner Federation officer, and a map of the Conna Confederation forces had been recovered from the officer...... At the special instructions of the old man, he sent the news out.
As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Information, of course Mohai knew that the news was true, and at the same time he also understood the old man's intentions, after these 10 days, they had tried the same method no less than 100 times, but none of them succeeded, so it can be judged that this mouse is by no means an ordinary undercover agent.
And the old man used a real news as bait this time, but he was gambling on it, he was betting that the other party would not be able to resist such a temptation and show his tail, and he was also betting that his own side would not let them succeed!
It turned out that the old man's gamble had won at least half of it - the mouse finally couldn't help but show its tail, and then, all it took to touch the vine, just ......
"General, I just received the news that Raptor 27 has returned, should we strengthen the deployment?" Mo Hai asked worriedly, in order to catch this mouse, he spent too much effort, so he attracted the attention of the mouse, at this time, send troops to go, maybe be able to find the mouse's nest, but may not be able to catch the mouse lightly.
"I know what you mean, you just need to do your thing, and as for the rest, naturally someone else will do it." The old man smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his right pocket, took out 2 cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and threw the other one to Mohai.
"Thank you, General." Mo Hai smiled, skillfully wiped his pocket, immediately took out a lighter, went over to light it for the old man first, and then lit a cigarette himself, and took a hard puff.
The old man took two puffs of cigarette lightly, with a satisfied expression on his face, put the note in his hand on the cigarette, and slowly lit it until the note burned out, the old man also went to the cigarette, snuffed it out, and said to Mo Hai: "Okay, just smoke two puffs and enjoy it, this thing can hurt your body if you smoke too much, you kid don't learn from me, the young body is the same as the old man who is dozens of years old." ”
"General, you are old and strong, and we young people can't compare." Mo Hai smiled and complimented, snuffed out the cigarette very obediently, and then carefully put the residual cigarette into his pocket.
"You kid." Seeing Mo Hai's movements, the old man couldn't help but flash a narrow smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go back, don't be embarrassed here." ”
"Then I'll go first, General." Mo Hai nodded, gave a concise military salute again, and turned to leave the general headquarters.
"Rats...... That's a little guy who can eat an elephant! Once again, there was only one old man left in the huge room, and he looked at the streak of paper ash on the floor and fell into deep thought.
"It's just, my elephant, can you eat it?"
