The next day, just after 9 am, a convoy sent by the military stopped at the entrance of the research institute.
From an armored transport vehicle, a man in an admiral’s uniform stepped out.
The man had a gaze as sharp as an eagle. He stood in place as he looked at the research institute before giving a series of orders.
This convoy belonged to the army’s 3rd mechanized division, and the leader of the convoy was Vice-Admiral Kale.
“Tell them to cordon off the area within a five kilometer radius! Let the information team enter the building first and take over all the communication equipment inside!”
After Vice-Admiral Kale finished speaking, he looked at the time on his watch.
“There are still eight minutes left. A helicopter squadron will rush over and be in charge of air defense for this operation. You guys do your job of docking!”
The adjutant who was next to Vice-Admiral Kale immediately passed down orders.
What made the adjutant curious about the mission was that they had received it at the last minute. It was not until they had boarded the armored vehicle and arrived at the research institute building that they roughly knew the mission that they were going to carry out.
They had to escort an important figure to the National Academy of Sciences.
As the adjutant passed on Vice-Admiral Kale’s orders, he was guessing in his mind which important figure was so important that for a trip, a well-equipped mechanized army unit had to be mobilized.
This had never happened before.
Not only was the adjutant curious, but Vice-Admiral Kale was also extremely interested in the identity of this mysterious figure.
At this moment, Vice-Admiral Kale stood alone at the entrance of the research institute. He was waiting for the person with the special identity to come out of the research institute.
There were still 15 minutes before the helicopter squadron arrived. Only then would the mysterious person come out of the building.
Kale suspected that even if someone did come out, it would be several people coming out at the same time. He did not have the authority to know who they were really responsible for sending to the Academy of Sciences.
A few minutes later, the sound of a helicopter engine could be heard in the air.
Kale and the adjutant turned to look at the sky. The black dots formed by eight armed helicopters appeared in the sky far away.
As the black dots continued to grow larger, the annoying noise also became louder.
Kale watched as out of the group of eight armed helicopters, only two of them landed on the ground not far away. The other six armed helicopters hovered in the air and were responsible for alerting the surrounding environment.
“Could it be that there will be people who will go by helicopter?”
Just as Vice-Admiral Kale was guessing, the adjutant beside him reached out and tugged at the Vice-Admiral’s sleeve.
As a soldier, Gale’s reaction was speedy. He quickly turned around and faced the research institute. Then, he saw more than a dozen people walking down the steps at the entrance.
The few military officers present saw that among the crowd walking out of the building, there were a few old men. They all began to guess which one of them was the mysterious person.
However, the few military officers waiting at the entrance of the research institute did not know that the mysterious person they were talking about, namely George, had long blended into the crowd and boarded a transport helicopter not far away.
The old men the officers saw were just a few professors. They had already boarded the armored transport vehicle.
When Vice-Admiral Kale saw that no one else was coming out of the building, only did he turn around and lead his adjutant to board the first armored transport vehicle.
The mechanically beautiful military vehicles left the entrance of the research institute in order.
The eight armed helicopters in the air formed a human-shaped formation and flew towards the direction of the Academy of Sciences.
Soon, the initially bustling research institute was once again restored to silence.
The straight line distance from the research institute to the Academy of Sciences was not very far. The armed helicopters only needed 20 minutes to reach their destination.
At this moment, Vice-Admiral Kale who was sitting in the armed transport vehicle, was resting with his eyes closed. Only the adjutant was needed to give orders for the following operation.
The more than a dozen armored vehicles were traveling on the road while eight armed helicopters were in the air above the vehicles. Looking from a distance, they looked very imposing.
At this moment, the convoy arrived at an intersection. According to the results of the satellite navigation, the convoy that was traveling on the ground could only take the road on the right if they wanted to reach the Academy of Sciences in the shortest time possible.
Vice-Admiral Kale, who was resting with his eyes closed, knew that the convoy was turning right from the movements of the vehicle that reverberated in his body.
Suddenly, the adjutant, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around and reported an emergency to Vice-Admiral Kale.
“Vice-Admiral, after our ground fleet turned right, the helicopter fleet in the air did not follow us!”
The instant Vice-Admiral Kale heard the adjutant’s report, he immediately opened his eagle-like eyes.
“What’s going on! Contact the helicopter squadron leader immediately!”
As the highest commander of the 3rd army division, Kale was surprised that the helicopter squadron he brought would dare to disobey his orders.
One had to know that the duty of a soldier was to obey orders.
The armed helicopter squadron was the airstrike force of the 3rd army division. They had to carry out unconditionally the orders that were given by the highest commander, Kale.
Of course, there were also exceptions. For example, if the orders received by the helicopter squadron’s leader came from the Ministry of Defense.
However, such a situation was extremely rare. It would not happen for years or even decades.
Unless there was a very important incident, only then would the Ministry of Defense directly give orders to the subordinate units. They may even give orders to single soldiers.
Very soon, the adjutant obtained contact with the helicopter squadron’s leader on this mission.
The adjutant was very smart. The second the call was connected, he immediately turned on the speaker mode of the car’s communication device.
Instantly, the helicopter squadron’s leader’s voice rang out in the bumpy car.
“Please give the receiver to Vice-Admiral Kale, I have something to report!”
The adjutant glanced at Vice-Admiral Kale who was sitting in the back seat, and said, “Admiral Kal can hear you!”
Vice-Admiral Kale’s first said in a stern voice, “You should know the consequences of disobeying orders!”
This was to dispel the helicopter squadron’s leader’s concerns, and at the same time, it did not give him time to think.
Vice-Admiral Kale was not threatening the squadron leader who had disobeyed orders. In the army, the punishment for disobeying orders was severe enough for one to be tried by the military court.
Facing Vice-Admiral Kale questioning, the squadron leader’s helpless voice sounded in the car, “Vice-Admiral Kale, I just received a direct order from the Ministry of Defense!”
After the squadron leader said this, there was only the sound of the car bumping. Vice-Admiral Kale and the adjutant temporarily lost their voices. The two of them looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces..
