Hello, Mr. Major General
chapter-1398

Chapter 1398: You Get What You Wish For（3）

Looking at the disgruntled look on the driver’s face, Vladimir’s mouth twitched a few times, and he muttered,”… All you have on your mind is the red packet…the red packet is probably enough to make you defect…”

“What did you say? I can’t hear you,” the middle-aged driver shouted as he put his hands over his ears and approached Vladimir.

Vladimir glared at him and roared into his ears, “Don’t worry! Work is work! Personal affairs are personal affairs! I will separate business from personal affairs!”

The middle-aged driver patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “That’s good. Boss, the new female intern downstairs is very interested in you and wants to ask you out…”

“Get lost!” Vladimir kicked him again with a stern expression on his face. “How long has it been since Lina passed away? Yet you have the shamelessness to say such things?!”

The middle-aged driver blinked and asked him suspiciously, “Boss, you weren’t even her boyfriend. Are you going to stay single for the rest of your life for her?! You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you? You deliberately using her to cover up your true sexual orientation, aren’t you?”

After saying that, as if he was worried that Vladimir would pounce on him at any moment, he hurriedly took a few steps back. “I’m straight! Stay away from me!”

“F * ck you! F * ck you!” Vladimir was livid with anger. He almost pulled out his gun and shot him.

Peter reacted quickly and snatched the gun away. Then, he signaled the middle-aged driver with his eyes, telling him to leave quickly.

Lina and Peter were originally the leader and deputy leader of the same team.

Peter was the leader and Lyna was the deputy leader.

After Lina died in the line of duty, Peter quickly rose through the ranks.

The driver initially felt a little uncomfortable, but Peter really knew how to behave.

Unknowingly, the driver realized that he was about to be won over by Peter…

He shook his head and walked out of Vladimir’s office. He frowned and thought about it for a moment before taking out his phone to send Gu Nianzhi a Wechat message.

[ Middle-aged Driver ] : Cereus, it looks like Vladimir is going to stay a bachelor for the rest of his life. After Lina’s death, he kept a respectful distance from all females. I think he’s qualified to become a Catholic priest.

Catholic priests were all monks.

When Gu Nianzhi saw this Wechat message, she didn’t know how to reply. She sighed and laughed. In the end, she sent him a red envelope to comfort him.

She smiled at Xiao Ye, who was sitting beside her and focused on driving. “This driver is so interesting. I like him more.”

He was more sincere than Vladimir.

Gu Nianzhi knew that Vladimir was always a little wary of her. He spoke hesitantly, as if he was worried that she would tell Huo Shaoheng about the things she had talked to him about any second.

Although he wasn’t wrong, because she would indeed tell Huo Shaoheng a lot of information that she thought was important and sensitive.

Gu Nianzhi hummed and laughed softly.

“Driver?” Xiao Ye frowned as she gripped the steering wheel. “Which driver?”

She was driving the car to the military base.

General Ji from the military suddenly called and asked Gu Nianzhi to go to his office. He said he needed her help with something.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t travel alone. Like her shadow, Xiao Ye followed her everywhere.

“It’s a friend I met in Russia.” Gu Nianzhi smiled at her. “He’s from the KGB, but he’s not as scary as the rumors say they are. Instead, he’s really funny.” The Committee of State Security (KGB) was the committee of State Security (KGB)

Xiao Ye’s grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily, and the veins on the back of her hand popped out.

Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t like that second-in-command of the KGB, Vladimir. He’s so annoying. When he looks at people, he always looks like he’s seen through you. He always sounds sarcastic.”

Xiao Ye immediately became alert upon the mention of “Vladimir”. She quickly observed Gu Nianzhi from the corner of her eye. She was amused by her sly foxy smile.

Her mood quickly returned to normal. Xiao Ye gave a nonchalant “Hmm” and asked, “Is that so?”

She didn’t seem interested at all.

Pretend, I’ll let you pretend.

A smile lingering on her lips, Gu Nianzhi looked away. She looked out the window at the row of cars.

…

When she arrived at General Ji’s house at the military headquarters compound, secretary Cao greeted Gu Nianzhi at the door of General Ji’s office.

He knocked on the door. “Chief, Miss Gu is here.”

General Ji opened the door for her personally and invited her in.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help raising her eyebrows.

There was something amiss about him being so courteous.

But she still acted as if she didn’t notice and walked in with a smile.

General Ji gently closed the door behind her.

“Xiao Gu, sit.” He pointed to the sofa in the corner by the floor-to-ceiling window in the office and walked over to sit at the back of the window.

Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to sit across from him and face the window.

The floor-to-ceiling window was draped with pale golden curtains, and the small LCD headlights that resembled natural light illuminated the room like the sunlight outside.

General Ji gazed at Gu Nianzhi and smiled warmly. “How have you been? Are you all right?”

“I’m fine.” Gu Nianzhi was puzzled. What was with his tone of condolence?!

She felt uncomfortable listening to it. At the same time, she was a little scared and uneasy in front of General Ji.

After a while, she asked timidly, “… General Ji, what’s the matter? Is it Major General Huo… does it have something to do with Major General Huo?”

She didn’t even dare to say “something happened”. She was especially worried that her words would come true.

With a wry smile, General Ji shook his head. “No, Major General Huo is fine. However, during this mission, he brought back the bodies of two war heroes along the way. I want to ask you for a favor…”

“Please don’t hesitate to ask!” Gu Nianzhi’s heart, which had been in her throat, relaxed again. She let out a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly.

General Ji felt choked. He hesitated for a long time before continuing, “I heard that Zhao Liangze asked you to go to the military port to pick them up, right?”

“Yes, the last time I called, he said it would take 12 days. I have been counting the days!” Gu Nianzhi nodded and said obediently, “Brother Xiong will take me with him. It’s the military port and outsiders aren’t allowed to enter.”

“Okay, that’s good.” General Ji nodded. “We will have a small ceremony at the military port to prepare the bodies of the war heroes. I was wondering if I could ask you to do me a favor and send flowers to the two war heroes?”

“No problem!” Gu Nianzhi readily agreed. “Although I’m not from the military, I’m still considered a family member of the military.”

This kind of thing was obviously a secret ceremony within the military. It was impossible for it to be carried out in a public manner.

It wouldn’t be convenient for her to go, would it?

Gu Nianzhi wasn’t without suspicions.

She didn’t believe that the military wasn’t able to find a suitable person to offer flowers and had to request her, an outsider, to help.

If it really was a very important war hero, this kind of approach would be too disrespectful.

However, Huo Shaoheng and General Ji definitely weren’t thoughtless people, so there must be a valid reason behind her beeing asked to present the flowers.

Gu Nianzhi thought of many things in an instant, but she remained impassive on the surface and agreed without hesitation.

She would know what was going on once she went to the military port anyway.

…

Three days later, the research fleet led by Huo Shaoheng met up with the aircraft carrier fleet that had come to provide support to them.

Before that, the fighter jets that had taken off from the aircraft carrier had flown in countless times to escort them.

When the few people in the upper echelons of the Japanese military and cabinet heard of the news, their emotions could no longer be described as merely “bereaved”.

This secret base had been set up overseas without the knowledge of most people in Japan. Even within the cabinet and the military, only a few people who knew about it.

However, the funds and efforts they had invested were substantial.

A secret overseas military base that had been in operation for more than ten years was gone just like that. The head of the Secret Service, Captain Hideda Yamaguchi, who had made countless contributions to the war effort, had also died at the secret base. In addition, so many laboratories had been destroyed, and so many scientists had been blown into pieces! How could they not be furious when they had been wiped out together with the Navy?!

They were flustered and exasperated. All they wanted was for the Huaxia Empire to pay the greatest price possible.

Japan’s Ministry of Defense was the first to launch an international condemnation. Saying that they had “burned, killed, and looted” overseas, he fiercely lambasted the Huaxia Empire. They hadn’t even spared the captives who had surrendered. It was truly outrageous. He had threatened to sue on the International Court of Justice for the Huaxia Empire’s Major General Huo Shaoheng to be punished for his war crimes.

This time, Japan had chosen to promote its cause on the United States’ Twitter and Facebook.

These two social media apps were the United States’ equivalent of the Huaxia Empire’s Weibo and Wechat.

The official Twitter account of Japan’s Ministry of Defense bombarded posts with pictures of naval battles and bases that had been plowed over by missiles.

These pictures, which were filled with bloodshed, instantly caused a huge impact on an international scale.

Countless foreign netizens were shocked. They all condemned the Huaxia Empire for being “militaristic” and “extremely evil”.

However, many countries’ official Twitter accounts remained eerily silent.

They acted differently from ordinary netizens because they knew the other side of this news.

The short-wave wireless signal that Huo Shaoheng had Zhao Liangze send covered the entire Atlantic Ocean and was received by all of them…

The Huaxia Empire’s research ship had been robbed by pirates at that time, but how had it become “burning, killing, and plundering” in the words of the Japanese military?

Moreover, the photos of the base that the Japanese officials had released seemed to have been transmitted from the scene instead of being taken from a satellite…

Emmmmmmm.

Huo Shaoheng, of course, wouldn’t resign himself to fate. He never fought battles without preparing beforehand.

When he decided to take advantage of the situation and destroy this secret overseas military base, he had already prepared everything.

When the foreign netizens on Twitter and Facebook started to rally and unite around the official Twitter account of the Japanese cabinet and military ministry to denounce the Huaxia Empire, Huo Shaoheng made his move.

He had Zhao Liangze create a long Weibo post with pictures and text. He first posted it on the official account of the Academy of Sciences on the domestic Weibo, then forwarded the picture to the official Twitter account of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences abroad.

The title was a series of bright red words: “Pirates, Or Japanese Navy?!”

At the same time, he tagged the official Twitter account of Japan’s Ministry of Defense.

In both Chinese and English, the long Weibo post with the sensational title, a long string of pictures and text, detailed the bloody naval battle that the Huaxia Empire’s research ship had experienced.

The Somali pirate ship that Huo Shaoheng had captured naturally was an important piece of evidence. It had appeared on camera many times.

There was also the damage to his own fleet, the seriously injured members of his fleet, and the distress signal he had sent into the Atlantic Ocean.

The short-wave radio signal that he had Zhao Liangze send out had not only been received by the Navy along the Atlantic coast, but also by many radio enthusiasts.

The Huaxia Empire’s Twitter account’s long post immediately caused an even greater buzz on Twitter.

This was hardproof shocking evidence!

It had to be said that the netizens abroad were the same as the netizens at home. They loved a shocking turn of events the most.

The more shocking the turn of events, the more juicy it was, and the intriguing it was.

In addition, compared to the few vague screenshots sent by the Japanese cabinet and military, the pictures from the Huaxia Empire’s Academy of Science’s appeared more reasonable and convincing.

Regarding those shocking pictures, Huo Shaoheng wrote, “We, as the escort fleet of this research ship, had thought that the people chasing us were Somali pirates for the entire time. Now that we’ve seen your excellency’s tweet, we’re confused. Could it be that the people chasing after our research ship weren’t pirates, but your navy?!”

This tweet was simply a war cry. It was full of emotion and was filled with the resentfulness towards oppression, resentfulness towards being wronged, and unbearable anger at being provoked!

The Committee of State Security (KGB)’s second-in-command, Vladimir, felt guilty towards Gu Nianzhi. To make up for it, he had also come out to stir up trouble.

He sent a screenshot of his country’s nuclear submarine signal and said that he offered the support of “Big Ivan,” but Major General Huo Shaoheng politely refused.

In particular, Huo Shaoheng’s reply, “Pirates are also human beings. Although the Pirates attacked our fleet, in accordance with humanitarian principles, we cannot do that to the Pirates.” That response was perfectly in line the West’s values of political correctness, and a slap in the face to Japan’s official Twitter account.

If such a person was a war criminal, then what would that make the Japanese Navy, who masqueared as pirates?

To further add fuel to the flames, Huo Shaoheng quickly got Zhao Liangze to dig up the story of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He continued to post pictures and text on Twitter.

The situation overseas was quickly reversed.

The netizens in the Huaxia Empire also followed from Weibo to Twitter and Facebook to cheer for their country. The bombardment of emojis gave the other side a headache.

Gu Nianzhi was, of course, the leader of the group.

She used her “Pink Piggy” vest to lead the netizens in China to condemn the official Twitter account of Japan’s Ministry of Defense. It was like they were grinding on the ground.

Not only were they unable to fight back, but they had no choice but to come out and say that their “account had been hacked”. They had no idea about the pirates.

The Huaxia Empire’s Academy of Science even pretended to send condolences, and claimed that they believed that the previous tweets had nothing to do with them. They repeatedly said that Japan was a peace-loving country and so on.

Gu Nianzhi dug up the IP address that the other party had sent from. It was the IP address of one of the Japanese Cabinet offices!

How dare they claim that they were unaware?!

Just as the Japanese cabinet was being slapped in the face in front of the whole world, Japan’s Ministry of Defense deleted the official Twitter account. The reason was that the posts had caused discomfort by posting bloody pictures…

Public opinion had completely reversed. Of course, Major General Huo hadn’t committed any war crimes. On the contrary, he had exterminated the Pirates and protected the freedom of navigation on the high seas. He should have been awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This scandal that had caused a huge stir in the international community quietly came to an end.

At this time, under the escort of an aircraft carrier, the research fleet led by Huo Shaoheng had already returned to the territorial waters of the Huaxia Empire.

The military port was right in front of them.

Gu Nianzhi, General Ji, Speaker Long, Prime Minister Bai, grandfather Xie, and Yin Shixiong flew to the southernmost military port in three separate planes.

After leaving the military port’s airport, Gu Nianzhi, Xiao Ye, and Yin Shixiong were picked up by military vehicles to a heavily guarded port.

Upon hearing that the most important people in the entire Huaxia Empire had gathered at the military port, Gu Nianzhi became nervous.

She looked at Xiao Ye, who was sitting next to her with her eyes closed while resting, and whispered, “Xiao Ye, have you heard anything?”
