It was five in the morning in early April in Moscow, and the entire city was like a sick tiger that had just been awakened and was still asleep.
Only a faint trace of the misty white moon appeared on the horizon, indicating the arrival of dawn.
The military airport in the western suburbs of Moscow, Otav Airport, was currently on standby for a military plane from the Huaxia Empire.
The Russian Minister of Defense, Sergei, had come to receive them.
"Minister Sergei, why did the Huaxia Empire's special forces come so early this time?" Sergei's female secretary, Natasha, covered her mouth and yawned. She asked in confusion, "The opening ceremony of the competition is in two weeks."
At that time, the opening ceremony of the International Special Forces Competition would be held in Patriot Park on the outskirts of Moscow.
However, it was still too early for them to come now.
The other countries were probably still forming their teams at this time …
However, because the Huaxia Empire's team leader this time was Major General Huo Shaoheng, whom everyone thought highly of, their country also gave them a very high standard reception.
In order to wait for this plane, they had woken up at three in the morning just to welcome the Huaxia Empire's military plane.
Sergei glanced at his watch and said expressionlessly, "Comrade Natasha, if you complain again, I'll have to send you back."
Natasha was so shocked that she was completely awake and didn't dare to say another word.
After waiting for another half an hour, they heard rustling footsteps behind them.
Natasha turned around and was instantly stunned. She quickly poked Minister of Defense Sergei's back and said, "Minister, the Prime Minister is here."
Sergei turned around in surprise and saw their Prime Minister, Gerald, striding over.
"Minister Sergei, you're here so early." Prime Minister Gerald was tall and burly, but he had a very gentle personality.
"Prime Minister, why are you here?" Sergei quickly went over to shake his hand and said with a smile, "I'll report to you after I receive them."
"It's nothing. I was asked by the President to meet an old friend of the President," Prime Minister Gerald said with a smile. Prime Minister Gerald chuckled. "After all, this Major General of the Huaxia Empire is practically from the same school as our President."
The current President of Russia was a famous KGB general when he was young, so it was no wonder that he favored Huo Shaoheng, who was also from the Special Forces.
When he heard that even the president was paying special attention to this upcoming major general from the Huaxia Empire, Sergey didn't dare to be disrespectful.
He nodded with emotion and said humbly, "I met him once during the Jordan Special Forces Competition. At that time, he had just graduated from Israel's Mossad and appeared in front of everyone for the first time. He won the individual all-around championship in a surprise move and then disappeared without a trace. "
"At that time, our president said that this person was definitely not just an ordinary soldier." Prime Minister Gerald laughed heartily. "At the time, I also said that with such a handsome special forces soldier, even if he doesn't have any skills, as long as he puts on his uniform and stands out, I reckon that all the female enemy soldiers will automatically kneel before him, hahahaha …"
Gerald thought he was being humorous, but Sergei, who was a military man, instantly flushed with anger.
Using the tone of an internet celebrity to ridicule the soldiers who fought with their lives on the line was an insult!
Sergey suddenly turned his head and ignored the seemingly amiable Prime Minister. He looked at the horizon where the first rays of dawn had just appeared.
At that moment, a large military aircraft with five large red stars on its fuselage was already speeding over from the horizon at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The rumbling sound of engines instantly filled the air above the military airport.
Prime Minister Gerald frowned almost imperceptibly.
However, when the aircraft steadily landed on the military airport and the cabin door opened, Gerald had already put on his most amiable smile and walked in front of Defense Minister Sergey.
Huo Shaoheng's tall and straight figure appeared at the cabin door. He wore a military cap low on his head, making him look extraordinarily heroic.
He wore an olive green mid-length general's military coat with a tight belt around his waist. His shoulders were wide, his waist was narrow, and his legs were almost heaven-defying.
He raised his head slightly, revealing a handsome face that even the early summer sun paled in comparison. He was strong and sunny, yet cold and ruthless, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The female Russian soldiers at the airport who had come to receive him couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Sergey's female secretary, Natasha, was completely awake by now. She took off her beret and waved it cheerfully at Huo Shaoheng, who was standing at the cabin door. She even put her other hand in her mouth and whistled.
Sergey was so angry that he turned around and glared at Natasha. "Shut up!"
Natasha quickly put on her beret, and her chubby, round face immediately turned serious. "… Mr. Minister, I'm welcoming a friend from afar … an ally."
"Hmph!" Sergey turned around angrily and saw that Prime Minister Gerald had already walked to the front. He quickly chased after him.
Huo Shaoheng walked down the suspension ladder and shook hands with Prime Minister Gerald with a smile. He said in fluent Russian, "I didn't expect the Prime Minister to grace us with his presence. What an honor!"
"You're too kind! Major General Huo's appearance is indeed extraordinary, hahahaha … "Prime Minister Gerald laughed even more happily. He grabbed Huo Shaoheng's hand and turned sideways to pose for the accompanying reporters to take pictures.
Because Gerald's face was relatively chubby, he played a little trick and stood back to push Huo Shaoheng in front of the camera.
After taking the pictures, he happily looked at the photos taken by the reporters. He discovered that even though he stood back, his face was still a third bigger than Huo Shaoheng's.
Minister Sergey looked over and couldn't stop smiling. He grabbed Huo Shaoheng's other hand and shook it. "Major General Huo, I've heard a lot about you. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Huo Shaoheng also replied politely in Russian, "Mr. Minister Sergey, you were the military expert I admired when I was young."
"Oh? Oh! Hahahaha … "
As the saying went, flattery never works.
This principle was the same in ancient times and modern times, as well as outside the Huaxia Empire.
Sergey was overjoyed by Huo Shaoheng's words and immediately recognized Huo Shaoheng as a close friend. He was even more affectionate towards him.
At that moment, the special forces soldiers that Huo Shaoheng had brought to participate in the competition also disembarked from the plane.
They automatically lined up behind Huo Shaoheng, and no matter how one looked at them, it was a straight line.
Their heads were held high, and their valiant auras were overwhelming.
They had the same long legs and good looks, but they were different from those little fresh meat who only relied on their looks.
Sergey and Gerald were both stunned.
They looked at the Huaxia Empire soldiers, then looked at their own soldiers who were either fat or short. They felt very upset.
Sergey nudged Huo Shaoheng with his elbow and said softly, "Major General Huo, did you make a mistake? — — We are participating in the International Special Forces Competition this time, not the honor guard competition. — — Do you want to play Katyusha again and compare our special forces to dwarfs and orcs? Ahhhhhhhh! "
Pfft!
The female secretary, Natasha, who was standing next to Sergey, covered her mouth and laughed.
Sergey was very resentful about last year's Red Square military parade.
The long-legged honor guard from the Huaxia Empire sang "Katyusha" loudly during their training at night, instantly comparing the honor guards from other countries to trash.
As a result, there was still a video of the parade circulating online, claiming to be the "elves" (Huaxia Empire's honor guard) and the orcs and dwarfs …
Huo Shaoheng looked back at his soldiers noncommittally and said in an extremely calm voice, "It can't be helped. I've already eliminated all those who are too good-looking."
Sergey: … What the f * ck! You can do whatever you want just because you're good-looking!
Gerald: … Acting cool while invisible is the most lethal! The president has made a mistake …
The female secretary, Natasha, quickly smoothed things over. "Major General Huo, this way please. We've arranged accommodation for you near Patriot Park on the outskirts of Moscow."
Sergey snapped back to his senses and suppressed his resentment. He walked with Huo Shaoheng shoulder to shoulder as he said, "… There's a row of newly renovated barracks over there. You're early, so you can pick one to stay in first."
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Thank you, Minister. But I have a request that I hope you can agree to. "
"Of course, of course!" Sergey's female secretary, Natasha, was mesmerized by Huo Shaoheng's elegance and spoke first before Sergey could speak.
Sergey glared at her before turning to Huo Shaoheng and saying the same thing, "Of course, of course!"
Prime Minister Gerald was speechless.
He was treating him like a dead man!
Huo Shaoheng smiled at Natasha.
Natasha instantly felt like she was running out of blood, and her heart almost stopped.
"Thank you, Comrade Natasha," Huo Shaoheng said politely.
"You know my name?!" Natasha was pleasantly surprised, and her impression of Huo Shaoheng improved.
"Minister Sergey is someone I look up to, and his secretary isn't a nobody either." Huo Shaoheng wouldn't underestimate anyone here.
Although Russia's national strength hadn't been that great in recent years, their military and intelligence agencies were either ranked first or second on the entire Blue Planet.
Compared to the United States, Huo Shaoheng valued Russia even more.
His words flattered both Natasha and Sergey.
Then, he turned to look at Prime Minister Gerald and said with a faint smile, "It would be even better if His Excellency could make things easier for us."
"No problem, no problem. His Excellency the President has instructed me to satisfy all of Major General Huo's requests. " Gerald immediately agreed when he saw Huo Shaoheng's smiling face. He was just short of patting his chest to guarantee it.
Huo Shaoheng nodded and got into the private car with them before saying, "It's like this. Because we came too early, a full two weeks ahead of schedule, I'm worried that my soldiers' morale will slacken, so I want them to undergo two weeks of closed-door training. I hope the military camp you've arranged will meet this requirement. "
A closed-door military training camp was truly a closed-door training camp.
The people inside would be completely cut off from all communication and interaction with the outside world.
Outsiders would also never be allowed to trespass into the closed-door training camp.
Once the closed-door training camp was marked, the area would become a restricted military zone.
