In order to win the Special Forces Competition, Huo Shaoheng's request was completely reasonable, and there were precedents for it.
Defense Minister Sergei immediately said, "That's not a problem. Tell Natasha what procedures you need, and she'll get it done for you."
Prime Minister Gerald crossed his arms in the back and asked curiously, "… A completely closed training camp? Do you need WIFI? "
Huo Shaoheng replied, "… No, I just want them to train without any distractions. Our training camps in the country block WIFI."
"Impressive!" Russia's Defense Minister Sergei gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up. "You guys are better than those Indian soldiers! I heard a few days ago that an Indian soldier shot his superior officer because he didn't allow him to play games on his phone while on duty! "
Huo Shaoheng was speechless.
"Believe me, it's true." Sergei's secretary, Natasha, quickly tried to save her boss's dignity. "It's on the news!"
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Really? Then will India be participating in the International Special Forces Competition this time? "
"Of course, they'll be coming. They're going to have a joint military exercise with our country. " Natasha curled her lips and showed a slutty expression. She obviously looked down on India, and kept talking about the jokes about the Indian special forces, such as carrying yoga mats with them, cooking in the wilderness and cooking curry while on a mission, which ended up attracting the enemy. Blah, blah, blah.
Blah!
Huo Shaoheng listened with great interest and subconsciously asked a lot of deeper questions.
Prime Minister Gerald suddenly remembered Huo Shaoheng's previous identity and felt that Natasha had leaked the information.
He quickly coughed and interrupted Natasha. "There are many countries coming this time. Other than your country and India, there are also the United States, Japan, India, Korea, Israel, England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and so on."
"That many? Then we really need to pick a good place to stay early. "Huo Shaoheng calmly changed the topic and stopped talking about other countries.
They drove past Moscow's Red Square. On both sides of the Red Square were the Kremlin's red brick buildings, which looked bright red from afar.
Only Red Square, on a grand scale, could suppress the Kremlin's Big Red Wall.
If it was the pitifully small Times Square in New York City, surrounded by a circle of red-walled buildings, it would drive people crazy.
Sitting in the car, Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the red walls and white tiles in the distance under the blue sky and white clouds. He also looked at the very distinctive Vasily Cathedral opposite the Kremlin. It looked like a house from a fairy tale.
He guessed that Gu Nianzhi would like this kind of thing.
Natasha, his secretary, was beside him in the car, telling him the history of Moscow's Red Square.
"… It's here. During the World War, Stalin had a military parade here. After the parade, everyone went straight to the battlefield and fought bravely. We won the battle to defend Moscow and directly turned the tide of the war. "
Although it wasn't Huo Shaoheng's first time in Moscow, it was his first time visiting Moscow as an official Major General of the Huaxia Imperial Army.
He probably knew the history of Moscow's Red Square better than Natasha did, but all the same he was affected by her pride.
He stared at the quiet and calm Red Square outside the window, imagining the exciting military parade.
Countless young men sang 'Katyusha' from here to the battlefield.
Most of them didn't come back alive, and they didn't see the victory after the war.
No one knew their names, but their achievements would live on forever.
But after so many years, perhaps many people had forgotten how difficult it was to obtain peace.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly raised his right hand and gave a standard military salute to Moscow's Red Square.
Natasha, who had been talking incessantly, stopped abruptly, and the corners of her eyes became moist.
She wiped them with the back of her hand and pretended not to care. She waited quietly for Huo Shaoheng to put down his right hand before nodding at him with a smile.
Defense Minister Sergei couldn't help but have a better impression of Huo Shaoheng.
Even Prime Minister Gerald, who was a bit picky about Huo Shaoheng, fell silent.
He had to admit that a soldier who respected the deceased unsung heroes was a soldier who was truly worthy of respect.
A country with such a soldier was terrifyingly powerful.
The car quickly drove past Red Square and headed towards the suburbs.
Sergei's secretary, Natasha, became lively again.
He could hear her chattering along the way, her laughter like silver bells.
Huo Shaoheng gradually gained a lot of information from Natasha's casual narration.
For example, he knew that the Japanese special forces would be arriving in Moscow the next day, only a day later than them.
Also, the United States would be staying with Israel this time, so they could learn from each other first.
Also, India still hadn't been able to assemble a team to compete …
Two hours had passed by the time their car arrived at the military camp near Patriot Park on the outskirts of Moscow.
Huo Shaoheng got out of the car and first shook hands with Defense Minister Sergei and Prime Minister Gerald to thank them for their warm hospitality.
Sergei and Gerald treated Huo Shaoheng with the highest level of respect.
This time, even Natasha wouldn't personally receive the special forces from other countries when they arrived in Russia. Instead, a few of Natasha's secretaries would receive them.
After Sergei and Gerald left, Huo Shaoheng and Natasha walked around the entire military camp.
"Leave this place to us." Huo Shaoheng circled an enclosed barracks.
There were all kinds of training grounds in the open space inside the barracks: grasslands, swamps, trenches, hillsides, pools, obstacle nets, shooting ranges. Anything needed for the competition could be practiced here.
Natasha readily agreed. "That's all right. What else do you need? "
"I want barbed wire for this perimeter wall, the kind that can be electrified." Huo Shaoheng wrote out a list and asked Natasha for the goods.
Natasha looked at it for a while, then looked up at Huo Shaoheng with a smile. "Major General Huo, have you thought carefully about what you want? Sometimes, the more mysterious something is, the more curious it is … "
“Curiosity
Curiosity killed the cat. " Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly and folded his hands behind his back as he looked at the perimeter wall that was as tall as a person. "If the cat was killed, it wouldn't be curious anymore."
It was a casual statement, but Natasha could actually hear the murderous intent in it.
However, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she was a little excited.
A warring nation liked people with guts.
"As long as you know." Natasha took out her electronic notebook and wrote down all of Huo Shaoheng's requests. "I'll send them to you in the afternoon."
Huo Shaoheng nodded and walked Natasha out.
Natasha was indeed true to her word and delivered all of Huo Shaoheng's requests in the afternoon.
She didn't have anything to do today, so she stayed with Huo Shaoheng and the others to see how they would decorate the barracks.
Soon, the perimeter wall that surrounded the barracks, which was as tall as a person, was densely covered with a layer of electric fence.
Once the electricity was turned on, people outside couldn't come in, and people inside couldn't go out.
There were also sensors buried in the corners under the perimeter wall. As soon as someone broke in, the sensors would sound the alarm.
Needless to say, there were all kinds of surveillance cameras.
There were almost 360 degrees of surveillance in all directions of the camp without any blind spots.
When Natasha saw that the eight screens she had brought were put to use in this way, she gasped.
"You guys are serious!"
"Of course." Huo Shaoheng adjusted the screen disapprovingly. "What's the point of me faking this?"
Natasha was relieved. "It seems that you guys really want to win …"
"Of course. If we don't want to win, why would we participate in the competition?" Huo Shaoheng straightened up and looked at the surveillance screen in front of him. "… I hope they can stand up to the test."
On the first day in Moscow, the special forces soldiers spent their time repairing and setting up the camp.
At noon the next day, the Japanese special forces soldiers who had come to participate in the competition also arrived in Moscow.
