"Explanation? Please explain the reason why you want me to explain to you." Huo Shaoheng said unhurriedly, walking towards the conference room with long legs.
High-level meetings of the Ministry of National Defense require very high confidentiality.
The deputy representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations is not yet eligible to enter.
The Deputy Secretary of Secret Service is qualified.
So when the two men followed Huo Shaoheng into the conference room, the deputy director of the Secret Service went in, but the deputy representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations was blocked from the door by guards.
"Deputy Minister Xu!" the deputy representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations shouted hurriedly.
Deputy Director Xu of the Secret Service Department turned around and said coldly to the guard: "This is the Deputy Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations. Let him in."
"I'm sorry, his security level is not high enough, and the electronic scanner at the door refuses him entry." The guard at the door of the senior conference room of the Ministry of National Defense was not accommodating at all, and actually allowed Deputy Representative Kang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations to enter.
"You don't even listen to what I say?!" Deputy Director Xu of the Secret Service Department grimaced, "What's your name? Which department do you belong to?"
"Deputy Xu, it seems that not only I have offended you, but also my soldiers have offended you?" Huo Shaoheng turned around from the upper seat in the conference room with one hand behind his back, his eyes unfathomable. , the other hand was on the seat and patted.
Although Vice Minister Xu felt that he was not wrong and that everything he did was for the benefit of the empire, he was sweating a little after receiving such a faint glance from Huo Shaoheng.
The Deputy Minister of National Defense walked in and saw the tense situation at the door. He shook his head with a smile, came over to smooth things over, and said to Deputy Xu of the Special Service Department: "Old Xu, why did you offend our Major General Huo? Tsk tsk, you are really awesome. Shao Heng has never been so angry since he was promoted to major general. It seems that I can't help you this time. Well, the security level of the conference room next to it is not that high, and Deputy Representative Kang can also enter. If you have something to say, go in and say it.”
Vice Minister Xu nodded while holding back his anger, but asked Huo Shaoheng's immediate superior, General Ji of the Imperial Military Department, to be present, as well as Vice Minister Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Speaker Long of the Upper House of Parliament to go to the small conference room next door to negotiate.
The six people closed the door of the small conference room and began to question Huo Shaoheng about the lightning operation that their Special Operations Department, the Sixth Military Region's special police force, had just launched in City C.
"President Long, General Ji, I want to ask Major General Huo two things. First, the jurisdiction of the Sixth Military Region is clearly outside the empire's borders. When did it become the Sixth Military Region's turn to intervene in the affairs of C City? Why should the Operations Department go to City C to arrest people? And they are arresting our own people! Isn’t City C the territory of our empire?"
"Second, this time the arms smuggling in City C is a goldfish raised by our Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' delegation to the United Nations, in order to lure the snake out of the hole, catch the enemy in one fell swoop, and annihilate them all! But Major General Huo's intervention has put an end to our half-year efforts. It was completely destroyed and the losses are incalculable. I ask Major General Huo to give a reasonable explanation. If it cannot satisfy us, please ask the Imperial Military Department to punish Major General Huo for overstepping his authority and giving an explanation to our Secret Service Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
Deputy Director Xu of the Secret Service Department was extremely angry. He spent a lot of effort to raise these "goldfish", but Huo Shaoheng interfered and all his efforts were wasted.
Speaker Long and Admiral Ji looked at each other and turned their attention to Huo Shaoheng.
Admiral Ji is the minister of the Central Military Commission, the highest military institution in the empire, and Huo Shaoheng's direct boss. At this time, someone came to him to accuse Huo Shaoheng of overstepping his authority. Although he didn't take it seriously, he couldn't ignore it completely.
"Shao Heng, please explain." Ji Shang put his hands on the conference table in front of him and looked at everyone in the small conference room one by one.
Huo Shaoheng nodded.
He can disobey other people's orders, but he cannot disobey General Ji's orders.
"Yes, General Ji." Huo Shaoheng turned around and fixed his gaze firmly on the face of Deputy Director Xu of the Secret Service Department. "I would like to ask Deputy Director Xu, what happened to the bureau you set up and the goldfish you raised?"
Deputy Minister Xu didn't want to say anything at first, but now that the Speaker of the Upper House of Parliament and the Supreme Commander of the Military Ministry were looking at him, he couldn't help but suppress the anger in his chest and motioned to Deputy Minister Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to explain to them.
People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are always better at eloquence.
Vice Minister Wu held his head half up, looked at people with the whites of his eyes and nostrils, and said arrogantly: "That's right, City C will soon hold a commendation conference for outstanding women in the world. Among the representatives of world female leaders invited to come this time, there is A woman from Barbados who is a descendant of the Chinese Empire is named Gu Yanran. She has countless huge wealth, and her net worth alone can account for half of Barbados’s gross national product.”
"Please be more concise, we don't have time to listen to your rhetoric." Huo Shaoheng looked down at his watch impatiently.
Vice Minister Wu's fair face suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists and looked at Huo Shaoheng angrily.
But his frail and thin body was not half as tall and burly as Huo Shaoheng, and was completely crushed by his aura.
He had no choice but to hold back a breath of anger and said quickly: "It was this Chinese female philanthropist who took the opportunity of coming to the empire to hold an international conference to cooperate with us and kill all the mercenaries who wanted to assassinate her. We helped her eradicate those mercenaries. Keeping an eye on her mercenaries, she transferred half of her net worth from Barbados to our Chinese empire to help the empire develop its economy and charity."
Huo Shaoheng raised his eyes, his dark eyes were astonishingly bright. He leaned forward and said slowly: "...You tell me, you smuggled arms in order to help a foreign woman get rid of the mercenaries who wanted to assassinate her. ?—What kind of logic is this? I forgive Huo for being dull and unable to understand the reasoning behind it."
"What's not clear about this?" Deputy Director Xu of the Secret Service Department became impatient, "We have all targeted those mercenaries one by one. They were the ones who smuggled this batch of arms into the country. We are just providing convenience for them. They think everything is fine. When they get in and pick up these weapons, we can bring them to justice."
Snapped!
Huo Shaoheng shouted, "Absurd!"
The expressions of Speaker Long and Admiral Ji also darkened.
The two old men stared at Vice Minister Xu and Vice Minister Wu with uncontrollable anger in their eyes.
Deputy Minister Xu was stunned, looked at Huo Shaoheng and said: "Major General Huo, why are you so angry? Didn't I say that these mercenaries are under our control, and this batch of arms is just a temporary measure to win their trust. …”
"Expedient measure?" Huo Shaoheng stood up and walked step by step in front of Deputy Minister Xu, "Do you know that some of the arms you have under your control have fallen into the hands of bandits in City C. Our soldiers , police officers and innocent citizens have lost their lives. Are you telling me now that everything is under control?"
"... Well, those who achieve big things don't stick to trivial matters, and some small losses are inevitable." Vice Minister Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs waved his hand disapprovingly, "As long as the mercenaries enter the country and get these arms..."
"Shut up!" Huo Shaoheng turned around and grabbed Deputy Minister Wu's throat with one hand. His expression was stern and heart-stoppingly cold: "Thank you for coming up with such a heartless idea. You really hate us. The country wants to lure this group of murderous mercenaries into the country? Don’t you know their combat effectiveness?! Once they get this batch of arms, they can start a civil war in our country!"
