The bald man with glasses looked at the black hole of the gun pointed at him and snorted without fear: "General Ross, you don't have to provoke me. If you have any problems, report them to the Ministry of National Defense and Congress."
"Okay, Ross, I got the call from the top. What he said is true. Put down the gun."
James took the phone and walked out of the back room. I saw that his hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body exuded the pungent smell of smoke. He had obviously not slept all night.
"Deputy Minister James," the bald man with glasses was obviously a little more cautious about James' attitude, and nodded, "If there is no problem, then we will take over the command here now."
James shook his head, shook his cell phone and said: "Because our army has run out of ammunition, is exhausted, and is in urgent need of repairs, the superiors have sent another 10th Army Division to follow your command. We will retreat soon."
The bald man with glasses pursed his lips, looked at James' tired but still sharp eyes, and said helplessly: "Okay, but before the support arrives, I hope your department can seal off the defense line and never let the creatures or people inside Escape."
"Don't worry," Ross said angrily, "our boys are the best. After fighting all night, not one of those damn spiders escaped."
Before he finished speaking, a soldier ran in panting, saluted Ross with a bang, and shouted loudly: "Report to the general, the outer patrol team discovered a group of unidentified people who were suspected of escaping from the blockade. How to deal with it, please tell me!"
"What are the instructions? What good instructions are there?" Ross shouted angrily, "According to regulations, all of them will be isolated. Anyone who disobeys and resists will be shot on the spot!"
"Yes!"
The soldier saluted and was about to turn around and leave when James suddenly said: "Wait."
He walked up to the soldier and frowned: "How did those people escape from the blockade area?"
The soldier loudly said: "Sir, the patrol team speculates that they may have escaped through a secret passage under the mountain, but the specific situation requires further investigation."
James narrowed his eyes and glanced at the bald man with glasses and the others. The bald man with glasses suddenly felt something bad, but before he could speak, James said: "I received an order from my superiors. From now on, this place is no longer under our control."
The soldier was stunned and blinked in confusion.
General Ross reacted and shouted from the side: "What are you still doing? Didn't you hear the commander's order?"
The bald man with glasses said anxiously: "Deputy Minister James, you are tampering with military orders and derelict in your duties..."
"Don't be so nervous," James interrupted the bald man with glasses with a smile, and put his arm around the man's shoulders from behind, "By the way, what's your name?"
The bald man with glasses looked very ugly: "Sorry, my name is confidential."
"Ha, it turns out to be Mr. Confidential," James said with a familiar look on his face, patting the bald man with glasses on the shoulder, "So... Mr. Confidential, if you think there is something wrong with my handling, you or your bullshit bureau, can you? Report it to the Ministry of National Affairs or Congress."
While he was speaking, General Ross had already kicked out the soldier with slow brain response. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably have to bid farewell to his military career after he returned.
The bald man with glasses looked at James hatefully: "Deputy Minister, prepare to be investigated."
James smiled: "Both and each other, I will also check you carefully."
As he spoke, his expression changed, his smile disappeared suddenly, and he said with a cold expression: "But before the arrival of the 10th Army Division, you and your subordinates, it's best to keep your tail between your legs."
He reached out and patted the bald man with glasses on the cheek, smiled sinisterly, and waved to the soldiers to blast them out of the command room.
Ross stepped forward, gritted his teeth and said: "A bunch of hidden rats, don't care what they do."
James shook his head and said with a serious expression: "No, I have indeed heard of this Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau. The specific responsibilities are unclear, but the confidentiality level is very high, and even the national minister has no authority to command."
"Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support?" Ross snorted, "Listen to this name, he has so much power. As long as his feelings are related to the war, he has the power to control it?"
"During the war, many secret departments were established, just like NIA. However, most of the departments were either reorganized or abolished after the war. I don't know how this bureau survived and still has such great power?"
James shook his head, turned to Rose and said seriously: "The most critical issue for us now is not them, but the base. I just discovered that since last night, I have lost touch with the base. Contact us, but the communication has not been restored now. I am worried that something happened over there."
Rose's expression changed: "Is it to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"It's possible," James frowned, "otherwise, why did the higher-ups have to order me and you to come in person for this mission?"
Ross snorted and looked out the door with an evil expression: "If you want to put it that way, it must be those guys who did it!"
"Not necessarily," James waved his hand, "It's too obvious and too clumsy."
Ross angrily said: "Maybe they are so arrogant and not afraid of us at all, so they made such a clumsy plan."
James shook his head: "Don't be emotional, think about it carefully. What does it mean that the bald man just now got the approval from the Ministry of National Affairs and Congress? It means that their department has great power. But why did the superiors choose to send the 10th Army Division? , instead of directly ordering us to follow their orders?"
Rose looked at James with some confusion.
James explained patiently: "Obviously, the superiors are also unhappy with their department, but for some reasons, they can only hold their noses and approve the following. However, in order to disgust them, they deliberately dispatched another 10th Army Division instead of Give us direct orders. You should also know the virtues of the 10th Army Division."
Ross curled his lips and smiled strangely.
"In addition, I guess the higher-ups should have realized that the whole thing was weird, so they asked us to withdraw, probably to preserve our strength."
James sighed and said in a deep voice: "Now that things have happened, I must rush to the base immediately. As for the people who were reported to have escaped from the blockade area just now, I guess it was Sherron's fault. You go over there immediately to prevent them from happening. What an accident."
"Are you worried that someone in the patrol will disobey military orders?" Ross glared, "If those bastards dare, I will shoot them myself."
"No, what I'm worried about is that that boy Xie Lun has done something wrong." James pinched his eyebrows sadly, "Although the patrol has helicopters and armored vehicles, it may not really be Xie Lun's opponent."
"Tch," Ross laughed disdainfully, "James, you made the troops I led too weak. No matter how powerful your nephew is, can he be more capable than a fully armed formation?"
James glanced at Rose: "I hope you are right."
