Huo Shaoheng had been in the army for so many years, and after making such a decision, he had long been mentally prepared to give up everything.
But he never expected that Admiral Ji not only did not stop him, but also strongly supported him in finding Nianzhi. What was even more rare was that he did not have to retire from the army!
Even though Huo Shaoheng was always calm and composed, he was too shocked to speak at this time.
He raised his eyes and looked at Admiral Ji with disbelief on his face.
Admiral Ji patted his shoulder, sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this, I think it's time to tell you some things."
Huo Shaoheng's eyes twitched slightly, "...I don't understand."
Admiral Ji picked up the red phone in the study, dialed a few times, and then said to Huo Shaoheng: "Go to the small conference room of the Standing Committee."
This small conference room has a security level no less than that of the central control room at the Special Operations Division headquarters.
To some extent, it is even better than the central control room.
Because here, it is people, not machines, who make important decisions.
Huo Shaoheng suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed General Ji to the small meeting room of the Standing Committee.
There are already six other members of the Standing Committee waiting here, and there is also someone Huo Shaoheng didn't expect, his mother Song Jinning.
"Ms. Song, why are you here?" Huo Shaoheng frowned, looked at her, and then at the seven members of the Standing Committee in the small conference room.
There are a total of fifteen standing members of the Supreme Council of the Chinese Empire's Military Department, but among these fifteen, seven standing members have a higher security level than the other eight standing members, and they are members of the standing committee.
The top secrets of the empire are held by these seven members of the Standing Committee.
Even his father, Huo Guanchen, one of the fifteen members of the Standing Committee, was not here, so when Song Jinning also appeared here, it was a surprise among surprises for Huo Shaoheng.
Song Jinning has a stunning face and a charming charm that is much younger than her age.
However, her expression is very serious now, without any trace of her usual relaxation and easy-going attitude.
She also glanced at Huo Shaoheng and looked at Admiral Ji inquiringly, "Admiral Ji, what does this mean? Is Shao Heng...'s security level sufficient?"
"On this matter, after discussing with the other six members of the Standing Committee, I decided to give him special permission." Admiral Ji nodded and stretched out his hand, "Everyone, sit down."
The people in the room sat down along the circular conference table.
The seven members of the Standing Committee, plus Song Jinning and Huo Shaoheng, a total of nine people, sat around the round table.
Admiral Ji cleared his throat and was the first to speak.
"That's it. Shao Heng came to me today and asked to be discharged from the army."
Song Jinning suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Shaoheng, extremely surprised.
She knew that in her son's heart, the interests of the country and the army were above all else.
Why would you take the initiative to retire
Huo Shaoheng sat upright on his seat, knowing that everyone was looking at him, his eyes slightly lowered, motionless.
Admiral Ji added: "...because he wants to find Gu Nianzhi."
Song Jinning took a long breath, that's it.
She sat next to Huo Shaoheng, quietly reached out her hand, and held Huo Shaoheng's hand tightly, as if to cheer him up.
Huo Shaoheng also shook his hand and expressed his gratitude.
Huo Shaoheng calmly let go of Song Jinning's hand, but Huo Shaoheng's expression did not change at all.
Admiral Ji glanced at the other members of the Standing Committee, then looked at Song Jinning, and said, "Of course I don't agree with Shao Heng's retirement. Moreover, he wants to find Gu Nianzhi. This matter does not conflict with his responsibilities."
Huo Shaoheng: "???"
For him, he was looking for Gu Nianzhi because he loved her. It was his private matter. How could it not conflict with his duties
Song Jinning accepted Admiral Ji's look and said, "So, you all agree to let Shao Heng know about this?"
Everyone nodded together.
Song Jinning opened the laptop he brought, connected it to the big screen in the small conference room, and said, "Then I will say it."
Huo Shaoheng's eyes moved to the big screen, slightly confused.
"Shao Heng, you know that the military cooperated with our Institute of High Energy Physics seventeen years ago to conduct magnetic field experiments. Do you know what the purpose was?"
Song Jinning looked at him seriously, with the same sharpness and rigor as usual in conducting experiments.
Huo Shaoheng thought for a moment and said, "For energy?"
Generally speaking, when everyone hears the concept of high-energy magnetic field, they will think of an emerging energy source that is efficient, environmentally friendly, renewable, and sustainable.
"Yes, that's wrong." Song Jinning pointed the laser pen in his hand at the big screen and said very calmly: "Emerging energy is just a by-product of high-energy magnetic field research. In fact, our laboratory cooperates with the military to turn on high-energy magnetic fields. The experiment is mainly to generate magnetic field resonance and open the channel to the Parallel Universe."
"Parallel Universe?!" Huo Shaoheng raised his head suddenly, with wild and wanton eyes in his deep eyes, as if a sleeping tiger was suddenly awakened, "Is there really a parallel space?! How could you think of starting this experiment?! Who else is there? Know about this secret experiment? Where is Bai Jinyi? Does she know?!"
After all, after many years of professional training, Huo Shaoheng's awareness of confidentiality has been deeply rooted in his bones.
As soon as he heard the true purpose of this experiment, he immediately thought of the possibility of leaking the secret.
Song Jinning was familiar with the technical aspects of this experiment, but she did not know clearly what Huo Shaoheng asked.
Therefore, Admiral Ji took up the topic and started talking.
"The initiation of this experiment was first proposed by your uncle, Colonel Huo Guanyuan. At that time, he did not say where the information came from, but now we know that it was Gu Xiangwen who contacted him and told him that there are two countries High-energy magnetic field experiments in this area are already being carried out in two countries, the United States and Japan."
"Now that they have begun experiments in this area, we cannot fall behind."
"For well-known reasons, among these two countries, the United States is fine, but Japan is very vigilant."
"If Japan finds the passage to the parallel space first, for our country, it may mean the tragic fate of being beaten after falling behind again."
"And our country and nation can no longer withstand such a hundred years of violence."
"So after getting the news, the military sent many people to the United States and Japan to investigate. After losing dozens of elite field personnel, they finally found that the intelligence was indeed true."
"For example, in Japan, the famous high-energy physicist Sezo Ishihara is leading this magnetic field experiment. Not to mention the United States, all physicists are leading this experiment, Tarzan Hokuto."
"Under this circumstance, we decided to launch this project. At that time, because this experiment was likely to be related to the life and death of our country in the next hundred years, we classified it as top secret Plan A."
"Among all the top secrets, this one is the top one, and it stipulates that the person who knows the news must be a member of the Standing Committee of the Supreme Council of the Military Ministry, which is a seven-member group. In addition, the Military Ministry sends people to contact the Institute of High Energy Physics The liaison persons for cooperation are your uncle Huo Guanyuan and the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics."
"In other words, the number of people who know the news is always at most nine, and there can be no more than one."
"Our seven-member group is a member of the Standing Committee, and we are all lifelong members, so we don't have to worry about leaks."
"The first liaison officer is Huo Guanyuan. He proposed the plan itself. Of course, there is no need to worry about him leaking the secret."
"Song Haichuan, the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics at the time, was informed of the truth after a rigorous assessment."
"We have also set up strict assessment procedures to assess the second liaison officer and the second director of the Institute of High Energy Physics in the future."
"Later, you also knew that the experiment failed. The resonance of the magnetic field triggered a huge amount of energy that was uncontrollable, and finally led to a big explosion, which almost razed the entire experimental building to the ground."
"Except for your mother Song Jinning, all the experimental personnel, experimental equipment and experimental records inside were lost."
"Later, when the bodies were counted, it was found that the bones of your uncle Huo Guanyuan and the four soldiers were not found."
"And your mother's brain also fell into a state of mental disorder due to the impact of the magnetic field explosion, and she forgot a large part of her memory."
"In this case, we sealed the truth of the experiment."
"Later, Bai Jinyi took over as the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics. She failed our assessment, so we did not tell her the truth about the magnetic field experiment."
"She didn't know what these magnetic field experiments were for, so she turned her experiments to using high-energy magnetic field experiments to study new energy sources."
"It wasn't until your mother recovered from her condition that she succeeded as the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics. She found some experimental notes left by your grandfather Song Haichuan at home and asked us for confirmation."
"We just restarted her assessment."
"Fortunately, Director Song passed our assessment, so the seven of us told her the truth about the experiment and decrypted the top-secret Plan A to her."
"Director Song lived up to our expectations and really kept this secret. He didn't even reveal that his own son was in great trouble."
General Ji sincerely praised Song Jinning's ability to keep secrets.
Huo Shaoheng's specialty was intelligence and confidentiality, so he had no resentment towards Song Jinning.
Public is public, private is private, he distinguishes it very clearly.
Hearing this, Huo Shaoheng became confused. He asked calmly: "... So does all this have something to do with Nian Zhi's disappearance?"
"I think you already understand. When I made a report on this discovery, I had already reported it to the seven-member group of the Standing Committee of the Supreme Council of the Military." Song Jinning said very calmly, "At that time, I was testing the three paragraphs When I took the video around the intersection, I found traces of magnetic resonance.”
Huo Shaoheng's pupils shrank suddenly.
The doubts in his heart were confirmed. He clenched and unclenched his hands repeatedly under the conference table, and his heart was pounding.
Admiral Ji nodded, "At that time, Director Song gave a separate report to the seven of us. She deduced that Gu Nianzhi should have been abducted and sent to the opposite parallel space."
