"Explain? Please explain why you want me to explain to you. "Huo Shaoheng said calmly as he strode towards the conference room.
This was a high-level meeting of the Ministry of Defense, and the confidentiality requirements were very high.
The Deputy Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations was not qualified to enter.
The Deputy Director of the Secret Service, however, was qualified.
When the two men followed Huo Shaoheng into the conference room, the Deputy Director of the Secret Service entered, but the Deputy Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was stopped by the guards outside.
"Deputy Director Xu!" The Deputy Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called out.
Deputy Director Xu turned around and said to the guard with a cold expression, "This is the Deputy Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United Nations. Let him in."
"I'm sorry, his security clearance isn't high enough. The electronic scanner at the door refused to let him in." The guard at the entrance of the high-level meeting room was not flexible at all, and actually allowed Deputy Representative Kang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enter.
"You don't even listen to me?!" Deputy Director Xu's expression was fierce. "What's your name? Which department are you from? "
"Deputy Director Xu, it seems that not only did I offend you, but my soldiers also offended you?" Huo Shaoheng turned around from his seat at the head of the conference room with one hand behind his back. His gaze was unfathomable as he patted the chair with the other hand.
Although Deputy Director Xu felt that he had done nothing wrong and that everything he had done was for the benefit of the Empire, he was still sweating profusely at Huo Shaoheng's cold glance.
The Deputy Director of the Defense Department walked in and saw the tense situation at the door. He smiled and shook his head. He came over to smooth things over and said to Deputy Director Xu, "Old Xu, how did you offend our Major General Huo? Tsk tsk, you're really something. Shaoheng has never been so angry since he was promoted to Major General. It seems that I won't be able to help you this time. How about this, the security level of the conference room next door isn't that high, so Deputy Representative Kang can also enter. Let's talk inside. "
Deputy Director Xu suppressed his anger and nodded, but requested that Huo Shaoheng's immediate superior, General Ji of the Imperial Army, as well as Deputy Director Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Speaker Long of the Senate, go to the small conference room next door to negotiate.
The six of them closed the door of the small conference room and began to question Huo Shaoheng about the recent lightning operation of the Special Operations Forces in C City.
"Speaker Long, General Ji, I would like to ask Major General Huo two questions. First of all, the 6th Military Region's jurisdiction was clearly outside of the Empire's borders. Since when did the 6th Military Region have the right to intervene in C City's affairs? They really wanted to know why the Operations Forces were going to C City to arrest people. They even captured our own people! Is C City not part of our empire's territory? "
"Secondly, the arms smuggling in C City this time was a goldfish raised by our Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' delegation to the United Nations. Our goal was to lure the snake out of its hole and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop! However, Major General Huo's intervention has completely ruined our six months of hard work. The losses are incalculable. I demand a reasonable explanation from Major General Huo. If you can't satisfy us, please punish Major General Huo for overstepping his authority and give the Secret Service and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs an explanation! "
Deputy Minister Xu of the Secret Service was furious. He had put in so much effort to raise these "goldfish," but Huo Shaoheng had interfered and ruined all his previous efforts.
Speaker Long and General Ji looked at each other, then looked at Huo Shaoheng.
General Ji was the Minister of the Central Military, the highest military organization in the Empire. He was also Huo Shaoheng's direct superior. Someone had come to him to accuse Huo Shaoheng of overstepping his authority. Although he didn't think much of it, he couldn't just ignore it.
"Shaoheng, please explain." General Ji clasped his hands on the conference table in front of him and looked at everyone in the small conference room.
Huo Shaoheng nodded.
He could ignore other people's orders, but he couldn't ignore General Ji's.
"Yes, General Ji." Huo Shaoheng turned his head and fixed his gaze on Deputy Minister Xu. "Deputy Minister Xu, may I ask what's going on with the goldfish that you set up this trap?"
Deputy Minister Xu didn't want to talk at first, but with the Speaker of the Senate and the Supreme Commander of the Army looking at him, he had no choice but to speak. He could only suppress the anger in his chest and signal Deputy Minister Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to explain.
People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were always more eloquent.
Deputy Minister Wu raised his head and looked at them with the whites of his eyes and nostrils. He said haughtily, "It's like this. C City will be hosting the International Women's Commendation Conference soon. Among the invited female leaders and representatives from around the world is a woman from Barbados who is a descendant of the Hua Xia Empire. Her name is Gu Yanran. She has an unfathomable amount of wealth. Her net worth alone accounts for half of Barbados's GDP. "
"Please simplify it. We don't have time to listen to your big talk." Huo Shaoheng looked down at his watch impatiently.
Deputy Minister Wu's pale face flushed red. He clenched his fists and glared at Huo Shaoheng angrily.
However, his frail body wasn't even half as tall as Huo Shaoheng, so he was completely overwhelmed by his aura.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger and quickly say, "It was this Chinese philanthropist who used the opportunity of coming to the Empire for an international conference to work with us to eliminate the mercenaries who wanted to assassinate her. We helped her eliminate the mercenaries who wouldn't let go of her. In return, she transferred half of her net worth from Barbados to the Hua Xia Empire to help the Empire develop its economy and charity. "
Huo Shaoheng looked up. His dark eyes were shockingly bright. He leaned forward and said slowly, "You're telling me that you smuggled firearms just to help a foreign woman eliminate mercenaries who wanted to assassinate her? What kind of logic is that? Forgive me for being slow-witted, but I don't understand the logic behind it. "
"What's there to not understand?" Deputy Minister Xu of the Secret Service was getting impatient. "We kept an eye on that group of mercenaries. They were the ones who smuggled this batch of firearms into the country. We only provided them with convenience and made them think everything was going smoothly. When they enter the country and pick up these weapons, we'll be able to bring them to justice. "
Slap!
Huo Shaoheng slammed the table and stood up. "Ridiculous!"
Speaker Long and General Ji's expressions also darkened.
The two old men glared at Deputy Minister Xu and Deputy Minister Wu with uncontrollable anger in their eyes.
Deputy Minister Xu was stunned. He looked at Huo Shaoheng and said, "Major General Huo, why are you so angry? Didn't I say that these mercenaries are under our control? This batch of firearms was only a temporary measure to gain their trust … "
"A temporary measure?" Huo Shaoheng stood up and walked towards Deputy Minister Xu. "Do you know that part of the firearms that you have under your control has already fallen into the hands of the criminals in C City? Our soldiers, police officers, and innocent citizens have already lost their lives. Now you're telling me that everything is under your control? "
"Well, those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. Some small losses are inevitable." Deputy Minister Wu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs waved his hand dismissively. "As long as those mercenaries enter the country and get their hands on these firearms …"
"Shut up!" Huo Shaoheng turned around and grabbed Deputy Minister Wu by the throat with one hand. His expression was so cold that it made people's hearts palpitate. "I can't believe you came up with such a heartless idea. How much do you hate our country? Why would you bring these murderous mercenaries into the country? Don't you know how powerful they are?! Once they get their hands on these firearms, they can start a civil war in our country! "
