Hello, Mr. Major General

“Stop! All of you, stop! Where’s your captain? Where’s the major?! Where the hell are they?!”

Wanting nothing more than to shoot at the escaping soldiers, Hideda Yamaguchi brandished his pistol.

Amidst the smoke and fire in the base, those soldiers were in a panic. No one listened to him at all.

However, this was an era of peace, so Hideda Yamaguchi didn’t dare to shoot. He spat on the ground and said, “Idiots! Retreat to the underground laboratory!”

Unfortunately, it was too late.

After their nuclear submarines launched the first round of attacks, the deck of the destroyer in the rear fleet suddenly split apart to reveal a dark cabin of drones below.

In the dark night, the ghostly drones quickly rose into the air and pressed down on the secret military base that had just been bombed.

This time, Huo Shaoheng deployed hundreds of drones to fill the compartments of the destroyer to the brim.

They were supposed to be used to deal with the Japanese warships that might be chasing them.

However, they didn’t expect the Japanese navy’s secret military base there, so they didn’t hold back.

Aiming precisely at targets 200 nautical miles away, their destroyer’s soldiers were focused on operating the drone system in their cabins.

From the infrared camera carried by the drone, they could clearly see what was happening at the military base.

One by one, running red figures appeared on their display screen.

Whenever the crosshairs aimed at someone, the drone’s light machine gun would fire a series of bullets.

They could see clearly now that the people running and screaming for their lives weren’t Somali pirates.

But who cared?

People who only bowed after they made a mistake were worse than pirates.

The sound of light machine guns rang out over the secret military base.

The second round of reaping began.

One by one, the fleeing Japanese soldiers were hit by the drones and fell to the ground screaming.

Among these people who were in a panic and didn’t know where to go, Hideda Yamaguchi was the most conspicuous because he was surrounded by a large group of bodyguards.

He was obviously a big shot.

The soldiers operating the drones didn’t know who he was, but at the same time, they aimed the muzzle of the drones at him.

Da Da Da Da Da!

Almost cutting off half of his head, bullets rained down from the sky and hit Hideda Yamaguchi!

This time, he didn’t make a sound and fell dead to the ground.

With his death, the secret military base fell into even greater anarchy.

When the Japanese warships that had set sail realized that something had happened to the base, they didn’t dare to continue fighting. Just as they were about to return, Huo Shaoheng picked up the microphone and ordered his men in a low voice,”… annihilate them all.”

As a result, the remaining Japanese warships were unable to return to the secret military base. They were all destroyed by their ballistic missiles midway.

At that moment, the sea was filled with fragments of the ships. Flames burst out from the sunken warships and burned on the surface of the sea. The flames burned fiercely, and countless corpses floated on the surface of the sea. It was like a living hell.

Huo Shaoheng wore his night vision goggles. He watched the tragic scene on the surface of the sea from the cabin without a trace of sympathy in his heart.

Requite resentment with justice; requite kindness with kindness.

As a soldier, he believed in only one goal: victory.

A war that didn’t have the goal of victory was rogue.

Huo Shaoheng had the professional ethics of a soldier. He never went rogue.

..

“Huaxia No. 1 reporting! The battle is over! Our side has suffered 14 light injuries, one serious injury but no deaths. Our ship is moderately damaged and cannot move forward. We can only be dragged over. Reporting finished!”– This was the captain of the cruiser.

“Huaxia No. 2 reporting! The battle is over! Our side has suffered three light injuries, no serious injuries, no death. The side of the ship is damaged and needs repair. Reporting finished!”– This was the captain of the destroyer.

“Huaxia No. 3 reporting! Battle is over! Our side has slightly injured seven people, seriously injured two people, no deaths. The ship’s radar is damaged and needs to be repaired. Reporting finished!”– This was the anti-submarine captain.

“Yanhuang No. 1 reporting! Battle is over! Our side has no light injuries, no serious injuries, no deaths. Our ammunition is exhausted. We hope to return as soon as possible. Reporting finished!”– This was the nuclear submarine commander.

The only thing that was intact was the research ship that they had surrounded in the middle and protected by layers of electromagnetic protection.

The cruiser on their side was the first warship to face the enemy head-on. It had also received most of the enemy’s firepower, so there were more injured soldiers, and the damage to the ship was also very serious.

However, it didn’t matter. Before the battle ended, Huo Shaoheng had contacted the military and said that they had encountered a group of powerful “pirates”. The ship was severely damaged, and they had requested reinforcements. Then, he personally used an encrypted line and called General Ji for more than an hour.

After General Ji finished the call, he shut himself in his office and sat alone for the entire afternoon.

When he came out of his office, his eyes and nose were red.

His personal secretary was so taken aback that he didn’t dare to go forward and ask. He didn’t know what had happened to make General Ji, who had a strong and tenacious will and a slick personality like an old fox, hide in his office to cry for the entire afternoon.

“Our research ship is requesting backup. You guys go and ask if the aircraft carrier has been dispatched,” General Ji ordered in a hoarse voice with his hands behind his back.

“Yes, sir.” The personal secretaries quickly coordinated their work and sent people to the navy to urge the aircraft carrier fleet to set sail quickly.

..

Huo Shaoheng requested backup from the military. After calling General Ji, he also ordered Zhao Liangze to send a distress signal to the entire Atlantic Ocean through the internationally used short-wave radio signal.

“Mayday! Mayday! We’re the Huaxia Empire’s research fleet. We encountered pirates on the way back. We’re requesting help! We’re requesting help!”

Unfortunately, the western countries that rallied for “human rights” and were extremely “kind” and “compassionate”, suddenly became collectively deaf and mute.

Not a single western country responded to their distress signal.

In fact, there were originally two Australian warships cruising nearby. After the Huaxia Empire research ship’s distress signal was heard, they immediately turned their rudder and headed back home.

Only a Russian nuclear submarine 500 nautical miles away responded to their distress signal and asked if they needed a “Big Ivan”.

Huo Shaoheng:”…”

Big Ivan was also known as the Tsar Bomb. NATO named it the RDS-220 hydrogen bomb, also known as the “king of bombs”.

It was the most powerful bomb in human history to date. In terms of size, weight, yield, and lethality, it was unparalleled.

Even the United States’ paled in comparison to “Big Ivan”.

It was indeed a “fighting tribe” nation, ready to destroy the world at any moment.

Huo Shaoheng personally sent a telegram back to the Russian nuclear submarine commander. He politely thanked them for their support, but tactfully rejected the proposal. He claimed that even though the pirates had attacked their fleet, the pirates were also human. However, they couldn’t do this to the pirates because of humanitarian principles.

The Committee of State Security (KGB) in Moscow, the Russian capital, sent Huo Shaoheng’s speech back to the KGB for intelligence analysis.

The Committee of State Security (KGB)’s second-in-command, Vladimir, almost vomited when he saw Huo Shaoheng’s pretentious excuse. He looked disgusted as he slammed the table and said to his newly promoted assistant, Peter, “The Huaxia Empire’s military is invincible with someone like Huo Shaoheng! Look at the nonsense he’s spewing! Even if he can’t beat you to death, he can still disgust you to death!”

Peter still appeared as languid as usual. Chewing his gum, he mumbled,”… There’s actually a secret military base there. Do you really think it’s pirates?”

“It’s hard to say.” Vladimir frowned. “That place is really too hidden. I looked at the coordinates and satellite images. There just so happened to be a lot of trees there that blocked the satellite’s detection.”

The Huaxia Empire’s missiles had burned that place to the ground, and only then did the entire base get detected by satellites of various countries.

However, if it was in the past, he definitely would have insisted that it was impossible for it to be pirates, because pirates wouldn’t have such powerful military bases and warships.

They would usually just snatch the goods and be on the run as vagabonds.

But now, he didn’t dare to say that.

Nowadays, pirates had developed on a more and more large scale. Moreover, many pirates had grown stronger and hired ex-military personnel as training instructors. Their current strength couldn’t be compared to their strength back in the day.

Pirates had rampaged across the sea over the years. They killed, robbed, kidnapped, and extorted money.

Peter opened the satellite image analysis on the computer and said with his eyelids drooping, “From these satellite images, the Huaxia Empire’s fleet first used submarines to launch sea-to-air missiles to destroy the ground facilities of that secret military base.”

“Coincidentally, that place was full of trees. It could have blocked the satellite’s detection, but if it was hit by a missile, it would be a double injury. The big fire caused by the explosion would only burn more thoroughly with the help of the tall trees.”

“Then, another round of drone fire would reap another round of harvest for those who escaped from the fire and weren’t burned to death.”

“Finally, the carrier-based aircraft was deployed to directly drop the GBU 49 laser-guided conventional bomb. That type of bomb is also known as the burrow bomb. It can destroy all the buildings above fifty meters underground.”

Peter’s finger tapped on the computer screen. “… Why did he use the burrow bomb to finish the job? Is there an underground facility in that military base?”

Vladimir nodded repeatedly and praised, “Peter, you’re indeed the smartest! I wasn’t wrong to promote you!”

“So you also think that there’s an underground laboratory in that base? What a pity, since because the burrow bomb was used, there must be nothing left.” Peter looked very regretful.

Vladimir nodded, widened his eyes, and waved his fists. He said dramatically, “I bet Huo Shaoheng, who likes to sound bureaucratese, knows exactly what that base is for, or else he wouldn’t have done such a thing. But I still have to say, what’s with his attitude towards our ‘Big Ivan’? I despise him with all my being!”

As he spoke, the office door creaked open, and the driver Ivan came in with two cups of black coffee. He slammed them on the table and rolled his eyes. “Coffee for the two of you!”

Vladimir was caught off guard and couldn’t help but kick him. “What’s with your attitude! What did I do to offend you?!”

The driver brushed his clothes with a disapproving look. “Enough of the two of you. It’s not like you don’t know Major General Huo. Do you have to speak ill of him behind his back? Second Brother, let me tell you, Cereus is our good friend. If you speak ill of her fiancé behind her back, do you have the nerve to accept her red envelopes in the future?!”
