"Major General Huo Chen, 3rd Army, volunteering!"

He repeated himself.

"Good, good, very good!"

The three continuous good was enough to describe how elated Yang Yi was.

He walked over, and patted his shoulder with gusto, before praising. "Major General Huo is both brave and smart, with the guts to go along with it. As expected of a son of Elder Huo, like father like son!"

Everyone too had snapped out of their stupor, and started showering praise.

"Good going!"

"Major General Huo sure is valiant, my respects to you!"

"…"

Even as he was surrounded by the crowd, his expression was impassive as ever.

"Commander, the orders please."

"Very well!"

Yang Yi went back to his seat, and with a wave of his hand, all martial-like, pointed towards the map, as his voice thundered across every corner of the room.

"With this, I announce that the operation will be commanded by Major General Huo Chen of the 3rd Army. All three branches of the military be on standby, the Golden Triangle operation will commence in seven days!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

Huo Chen gave a military salute, and accepted the responsibility.

Now that there was someone to take on the mission, Yang Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He motioned for Huo Chen to sit, his tone heavy.

"Huo Chen, due to special reasons, you can only bring a thousand men into the Golden Triangle. I will allow you to pick your choice from the units, but as this is a very dangerous operation, I hope you can prepare yourself mentally, and face this challenge without any fear. This mission has everything to do with the honor of Z Country. If we were to be defeated in the Golden Triangle, we will be taken as a joke by the world. Do you understand?"

Everyone looked at each other, their gaze conflicted.

This too was the consideration they had earlier.

It was not farfetched to say that this mission brooked only victory and no defeat. Else, even if you were to come back alive, your future was as good as dead.

Against Yang Yi's various concerns, Huo Chen was still the stoic figure, his gaze sharp and powerful.

He spoke, slowly but surely. "My comrades, chief, please await the news of my victory!"

CLAP CLAP CLAP-

A thunderous applause rang across the room, and lasted a good while.

And the matter was settled.

The meeting of the high military echelons lasted another half-an-hour, before being adjourned.

Huo Chen was held back by Yang Yi. Facing the questions in his eyes, Yang Yi said, "Huo Chen, I knew you and the old marshal had discussed the matter to clean up the Golden Triangle area, but I never thought that you would personally volunteer for this."

The old marshal he mentioned, Ang Jun was Elder Huo's good friend, and was one of the founding generals. Although he was already at an advanced age of 90 years old, yet his influence in the military was undeniable.

Huo Chen smiled faintly, "As you said, defending our country is the duty of every soldier."

"You know your duties, I never doubted that."

Yang Yi let out a deep breath, "Don't worry, I will do my best to get you the best weapons and equipment. As for the men, pick them yourself. Also, since Wen He wants to redeem herself with deeds, you bring her along as well, based on my knowledge, she is familiar with the lay of the land there, and could help you in critical moments.

Huo Chen frowned, as he looked like he had something to say, but finally, he only nodded.

"Yes, sir."

"Go and get your arrangement done. Time's ticking."

Huo Chen left the meeting room, and immediately went to the resource center to pull out every last information he could about the Golden Triangle and started reading them to prepare for the operation seven days later.

And his appointment as the commander of the operation too was released to the press by the military, and through the national broadcaster, it was let known to every common person.

And that included the Huo family and Lu Zhaoyang.
