Although the island on the southeast side of Japan was small, it had everything. Xu Yun had a basic understanding of the island after staying there for a day. The island was not big, at most a hundred square kilometers.
That was not a concrete description. For example, it was about the size of a county city, and it was only a matter of a few kilometers. Even an elderly man would not take more than three hours to walk around the island.
Most of the island was covered by mountains and forests. There was almost no empty space. Only the command post of the base was in the middle of the island, hidden by the forest along with a small airport.
The bottom of the mountain was a completely different world. The entire bottom of the mountain was almost hollowed out. There were about a hundred soldiers stationed there, and they were all elite troops. There were more than a dozen amphibious mobile equipment, a cruiser, several airplanes, and all kinds of weapons and equipment.
If Xu Yun guessed correctly, the garrison here was definitely a mobile force with quick reaction. If something happened on the west side of the Pacific Ocean, such a hidden military base could react quickly and catch the enemy off guard.
Of course, with such a scale, it could only be considered a small base. Since it was a secret base, it could not be hidden if it was too big. Therefore, this place was probably more of a transfer point for the American agents.
Because in the day that Xu Yun stayed on the island, he saw three agents enter the island and go out to sea. There was also one who was picked up by a plane after arriving.
"Eutakin, you have been here long enough. Haven't you thought about it?" The major general of the American army should be the highest commander of the island. He welcomed the entry and exit of any agent, but he did not welcome any agent to stay for long. From his expression, Xu Yun could see that he wanted to chase them away.
"Major General, do you think we want to stay here? We have no choice. General Ade asked us to give Captain Yan Long some time," Eutakin said. "I hope you can understand."
The major general did not avoid Xu Yun's words. He was a man of character. "It's not that I don't understand you. This is our principle. The longer you stay in my transit station, the more dangerous it will be. We all know this simple logic, but if you think I'm thinking for all of us, then don't. Yutakin, Beager, I'll always welcome you back, but this time, you've stayed long enough. "
Biggar frowned. "Major General, if I remember correctly, there's an unwritten rule in your secret base transfer station. The transfer agents must complete the transfer within twenty-four hours as much as possible. We haven't even been here for twenty-four hours, have we? "
"Even if there is, we can't leave now. General Ade needs Captain Yan Long to stay here for one more day. This is the time we need." Yutakin argued as well. They needed to rest. Only here could they sleep peacefully without worrying about their companions' schemes or Xu Yun's escape. One day was not enough for them to recuperate.
The major general was also very helpless: "Since General Ade said so, I will definitely obey the order. But what I want to say is that if anything happens to the base because of your long stay, you will have to take full responsibility. "
"Yes." Yutakin nodded. "Beager and I will take all the responsibility. If anything bad happens to the base because of us, Beager and I will take full responsibility!"
"Take what responsibility? It's not our problem. Why should we take responsibility? " Beager said. "This transit station was set up because of our existence. Since when did we have to listen to the arrangements of the garrison on the island? Major General, I advise you to think clearly. Your attitude towards us is the same as your attitude towards General Ade. "
The major general straightened his body. "Don't use the general to suppress me. No matter who it is, on this island, they have to follow the rules. I'm giving the general face, so I'll let you stay for one more day. If anything happens in the next twenty-four hours, I will take responsibility. If you don't leave after twenty-four hours, if anything happens, it will have nothing to do with me. "
Yutakin laughed. "No, no, from now on, we will take responsibility."
Beager frowned. He was puzzled. Was Yutakin stupid? Why did he have to take responsibility? Wasn't this just asking for trouble? "Do you like to take responsibility for others so much? Major General, you were assigned to this place because you have to take responsibility! "
The major general shook his head and ignored them. He directly left. Every time an agent entered the island, he would have to bear a corresponding responsibility. This was why he hoped that these people would leave as soon as possible. As long as they left, it would mean the end of a responsibility.
He just wanted to work hard and not make any mistakes. He wanted the higher-ups to see his attitude and ability. This way, he could leave this small military base earlier and take up a post in a bigger fortress!
As a major general, this wasn't much of an ambition. It was just a pursuit of his career.
After seeing the major general leave, Yutakin said to Beager, "So what if you take responsibility? This is a godforsaken island, and no one knows about it. What can happen? What responsibility can you take? Sometimes, you can't be too stubborn. If we don't take this chance to rest and recuperate, the sooner we go back, the sooner we can start our mission. I don't want to work with such a tired body. "
Beager ignored Yutakin's words. "Of course, I want to rest for a few more days, but I just can't stand the way he doesn't dare to take responsibility. How can he be a general with this kind of tolerance? What's wrong with his face? I want to stay here and not take any responsibility for him. Let's see what he can do to me. "
"Then you eat and drink from others. You have to bow your head when you're under someone else's roof," Yutakin said. "You won't die if you're polite. Being stubborn might not be the same … Beager, as a friend, I'm warning you. If he can become a major, he must have his own abilities. It's better not to offend someone like him. Otherwise, you can't take it! "
"Hmph." Beager rested for a day and recovered most of his strength. Naturally, he was a little arrogant. "He's just a major general. What can he do to us?"
Beager didn't know his place. Yutakin didn't remind him anymore. Just let him be. At most, he would die at the hands of someone else. This might not be a bad thing for him, but he would miss the chance to have a partner again.
This was wishful thinking on Yutakin's part. Beager would rather die than be partners with someone who would shoot him in the back at any time.
The quarrel also piqued Xu Yun's interest. The safer they thought it was, the more likely it would be a big problem if something happened. "Looks like it's because I'm here that I've caused trouble for you and the major general's hatred for you. Why don't we leave tonight? You guys should go back and report to the general about the situation here. Tell him that he doesn't welcome you. "
"Captain Yan Long, we've embarrassed ourselves in front of you. You can think about it and rest here. We'll go whenever you want. This is the privilege the general gave you. You don't have to worry about our feelings," Yutakin said. "The general wants you to think about it carefully. Once you see the general, you have to give him an answer. The general is a straightforward person."
Xu Yun smiled. "No matter what answer I give, I'll go see him, right?"
"Yes." Yutakin's expression became serious. "But you have to think about it carefully. Your two different answers will lead to two different outcomes. Obey and you will get everything you want. Fame, status, power, money … But if you resist, I won't say much. With Captain Yan Long's knowledge, you'll definitely be able to figure it out. "
Xu Yun smiled. "If that's the case, resisting the general is not a wise choice."
