Countless soldiers jumped out of their vehicles and dove into the river, swimming towards the spot where Huo Shaoheng had fallen into the water.
They had brought professional diving equipment with them. There were many people, and the river was not deep. They quickly discovered Huo Shaoheng’s tracks.
It turned out that Huo Shaoheng had already been unconscious when he had fallen into the water.
Everyone knew that the only outcome of being unconscious in the water was drowning.
Fortunately, they had arrived in time..
A few of the fastest soldiers quickly surrounded Huo Shaoheng and scooped him up from the bottom of the water and brought him to shore.
The ambulance and the doctors and nurses on the battlefield were ready.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng was rescued, they immediately gave him first aid.
Huo Shaoheng’s body was in good condition. When he had fallen into the water, he had fainted because he had fallen from a high altitude. He had been knocked unconscious by the huge impact of the water.
He controlled the water in his throat and put on an oxygen mask. After performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he woke up.
The most serious injury on his body was the burn on his back, but it only looked scary. After cleaning and applying medicine, he would not even leave a scar for a few days.
Huo Shaoheng lay in the ambulance and quickly took off his oxygen mask to video chat with General Ji.
General Ji was burning with anxiety and couldn’t wait any longer.
Only when he saw Huo Shaoheng appear on the phone screen alive did he heave a sigh of relief. Then he pulled a long face and scolded him,”… You’ve gone too far! You didn’t even jump right away! Is this the time to show your heroism? !”
General Ji felt sorry for Huo Shaoheng. He had to let others jump first in a life-and-death situation. Had he ever thought that he alone was worth more than all those people put together?!
Huo Shaoheng didn’t think so.
He looked at the phone screen and calmly said, “Every soldier is the most precious, chief. Moreover, I was the captain at that time. How could I abandon others and jump first?”
Just like the captain, when a ship had an accident, the captain would definitely be the last to evacuate.
If a captain evacuated before others, this was an illegal act in many countries and would be sentenced by the court.
As for Huo Shaoheng, although he was not the official captain of the military plane, he was the one who took over the plane at that time. He was also the one who insisted on releasing all the oil and turning off the two engines to glide and land.
He had already become the actual captain.
If he did not take responsibility and stay behind, would he just watch others die?
He could not do that. He had never thought that his life was nobler than others’.
Everyone only had one life. Everyone had their position, but there was no distinction between nobility and inferiority.
In this regard, he was compatible with Gu Nianzhi’s secret.
General Ji frowned at him but did not scold him. “Rest well. Are you hurt? If you’re hurt, come back and recover. Don’t participate in the military parade and drill.”
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. “I’m not hurt. I just fell into the water and fainted for a while. I’m fine now.”
He waved his arm, and the medical officer next to him did not dare lie to General Ji. He said honestly, “General Huo’s back was burned by an explosion. He fell into the water and became infected, but it’s not serious. He’ll be fine if he doesn’t have a fever today.”
General Ji nodded. “I’ll leave him to you. You have to take good care of his body.”
After hanging up, General Ji called for an emergency meeting and set up a special task force to investigate the loss of control of the portable surface-to-air missile at the He city military base the previous day.
Whether it was intentional or a system malfunction, he had to get to the bottom of it. He couldn’t let his beloved general suffer such an injury for nothing.
..
Huo Shaoheng turned off his phone and closed his eyes to rest.
At that moment, the sky was already white.
Several military vehicles carrying Huo Shaoheng whistled into the RIHE city military base.
There were many people waiting there.
The captain, co-captain, flight attendant, and four orderly who had come with him on the private plane first rushed up anxiously.
They refused to return to the dormitory to rest until they saw Huo Shaoheng.
“Have you found the Chief?”
“Is the Chief Alright?”
Huo Shaoheng’s military uniform was soaked in the river, and his luggage had been blown up. He had no choice but to change into a new coat in the ambulance. Wearing the military uniform of the local army, he stepped out of the ambulance.
“Chief!”
“Chief!”
A group of people surrounded him. They cried and laughed at Huo Shaoheng, making everyone excited.
Huo Shaoheng patted them on the shoulder and comforted them gently, “It’s okay, it’s okay. This time, it was an uncontrollable accident.”
How could a soldier still need to look at the almanac when he could even go on missions?
Although he had not expected the missile to come, the bad weather ahead was not worth mentioning to him.
Now that he saw that his own people were fine, he did not say anything more.
Of course, he had to settle the score.
A commander from the military base rushed over. “Chief, it’s great that you’re okay!”
His eyes were red. It was the regiment commander who had almost cried to the ground earlier.
Huo Shaoheng looked at his military rank and said, “You’re the Air Defense Commander Here?”
“Yes, Chief!”He quickly saluted, his face full of anxiety.
“I order that all the contents of your air defense system be sealed. From now on, no one is allowed to get close to the air defense system command room.”Huo Shaoheng said and gestured to his four orderly soldiers.
They immediately rushed into the air defense command room with their weapons and chased everyone out. Then, they cut off the power to the local area network. The four of them each headed in one direction, east, south, west, and north, keeping watch over the air defense command room.
The people at the military base did not dare to stop or resist.
The sudden loss of control of the surface-to-air missile and the firing of a missile that hit the chief’s private jet was not something that could be easily erased.
Moreover, they also wanted to know the reason, more than anyone else!
The regiment commander of the Air Defense Command room actively cooperated with Huo Shaoheng’s investigation and quickly said, “Chief, I can hand over all the electronic equipment here. We must find out the cause of the accident! If someone is playing tricks from within, we will definitely punish them with military law!”
Huo Shaoheng nodded without batting an eyelid. “Don’t think too much about it. Don’t think that I’m making a big deal out of nothing.”
“Think about it carefully. This matter can be big or small. If you only attack my private jet, it’s not a big deal. At most, I’ll die alone.”
“But if our weapons suddenly went out of control on the day of the official military parade exercise and fired at our podium, have you thought about how serious the consequences would be?”
Huo Shaoheng’s words brought everyone back to their senses, and they couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat.
If that was really the case, then all of them, including the combat headquarters and the ordinary soldiers here at the military base, would be in extreme danger.
“Understood, chief! We will immediately take emergency measures!”The base’s leaders rushed over and escorted Huo Shaoheng to the base’s general headquarters.
Huo Shaoheng patiently met with the leaders and the representatives of the combat troops. They shook hands one by one, bringing with them General Ji’s instructions and expectations, at the same time, he smiled and said, “Everyone has been too kind to me. I feel really guilty for letting off so much fireworks.”
The commanders of the military base were so embarrassed that they almost crawled under their desks.
Huo Shaoheng looked at each and every one of them without batting an eyelid. Based on his professional qualities, he did not see anyone suspicious.
Although he was still smiling, his heart sank.
At this time, he would rather have a mole.
If there wasn’t even a mole, then the consequences would be even more serious.
Huo Shaoheng talked to everyone for a few more minutes, then told them to go back and write down everything that had happened today. They waited for the notification, and then went to their own residences in the military base.
They had spent the night under extreme stress and fatigue. Huo Shaoheng was injured, and almost fell asleep as soon as he touched his pillow.
..
When they received the news at the headquarter of Special Operationforces’encampment ground in the imperial capital, Huo Shaoheng had already been rescued.
However, Yin Shixiong, Zhao liangze, and Zhou Qiyuan were unwilling to let it go. They used the video to interrogate the relevant personnel at the military base in Riwa city about the incident.
From the plane’s sudden encounter with a hurricane and thunderstorm to being locked onto by the military base’s portable surface-to-air missiles, every single detail made them furious.
“You F * cking don’t want to live anymore, right? ! If you want to die, you should have said so earlier. Even if we die, you still have to be cremated!”
Yin shixiong flexed his joints. His expression was very ugly as he cursed at the other party’s commander on the video.
The other party was scolded like a grey grandson, but they didn’t dare to retort.
Because they really deserved to be scolded!
If it was their own commander who had been made into such a mess by the other party, their entire team would have raised their sleeves and started to fight, and they would have even made a F * cking noise!
Zhao Liangze wasn’t as impulsive as Yin Shixiong. He calmly looked at the leader whose face was as red as Guan Gong, he said, “What did you mean when you said that the system automatically locked on? If your people didn’t do it on purpose, could it be that your system was hacked?”
They had done this before, so they knew very well.
The group leader shook his head repeatedly and said, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Our system is not connected to the outside world. How could a hacker hack into it? !”
“If it’s not connected to the outside world, then there must be an internal problem.”Zhao liangze stood up. “I have to go to your place. This won’t do.”
The RIHE city military base was indeed cut off from the outside world. They had their own local area network and were not connected to the outside world.
Theoretically speaking, if the network was completely cut off from the outside world, hackers could indeed not break in from the outside world.
But who said that hackers could not break in from the inside?
Zhao liangze knew that Gu Nianzhi had been able to hack into the federal intelligence agency of Germany’s internal network because Reinitz had opened a back door for her on the internal network.
Yin Shixiong also stood up and pointed at his own eyes with a sneer. He said, “Brother, let’s go take a look! With this pair of tricks of mine, no matter what kind of monsters there are, you have to show your true colors!”
Zhou Qiyuan turned off the video call and nodded to Zhao liangze and Yin Shixiong. “The two of you should go. Huo is the only one there, so I’m worried too.”
Zhao liangze and Yin Shixiong shook his hand. “Brother Qiyuan, I’ll leave the matters here to you. We’ll be worried if we don’t go and take a look. There are still two weeks until the official military parade and drill. Who knows if there will be any more moths?”
