With the level of technology of the Federation, it was easy to create a wall that did not allow even a trace of wind to pass through. The Department of Defense secretly sent military police to escort more than a hundred old soldiers of the 17th Division onto the warship and blocked off any means of communication. Quietly, like thunder, they were sent to the frontlines of the West Woods. It was done flawlessly, but in the end, it could not escape the eyes and ears of everyone.
The identities of these old soldiers were too sensitive. When the big shots of the upper echelons of the Federation were shocked to discover that their sons were missing, even with the strict discipline and execution of the Federal military, it was impossible to stop the anger of these big shots and their efforts to find out the truth.
These politicians and tycoons used their network of contacts throughout S1 to touch upon the truth of the entire incident in a very short amount of time.
Faced with the measures taken by the President and the Department of Defense to quell the anger of the people, these big shots of the Federation knew that their influence was limited. Because they lacked a solid moral foundation, they were unable to operate in an open and aboveboard manner. Naturally, it was difficult for them to break through the iron wall of the Federation military camp. However, the cries and curses of countless family ladies made the big shots ponder. After some contemplation, they began to exert their powerful influence in certain areas in an attempt to bring those young masters back before they entered the truly bloody and cruel frontlines of the West Woods.
This was a magnificent rescue operation. The Federation press did not catch a whiff of the news. The ordinary people and even the majority of the people within the military system did not feel the scent of anxiety hidden in the night conversations on the radio.
Federation senators, state senators, governors, chairmen of large enterprises in Hong Kong — these big shots were the cornerstones of the upper echelons of the Federation society. Once they were angry and collectively exerted pressure, how terrifying would that be?
Under the silent statement of Minister Zou Yingxing, the Department of Defense withstood part of the pressure, but it was also somewhat hard pressed. As for the specific implementation of this plan, Nutshell Corporation, they had already felt the arrival of the storm.
Without a doubt, Nutshell Mobile was the most powerful existence in the Federation and had a transcendent status. However, this largest mega-corporation of the Federation was owned by the Federation. In many aspects, it was subject to the checks and balances of the Federation Management Committee. Once those big shots found out that their precious son was currently trapped in a strange unit called Team 7 of the Nutshell Corporation, all of the pressure poured down on them.
The first call that Xu Le received was from the president of the Nutshell Company, whom he had not seen for a long time. The change of the president of the Federation did not affect the president's position. With the support of President Pabre, the president calmly and powerfully controlled everything in this giant corporation. However, this call showed that … even he could not withstand the power of the capital ring's rescue operation.
"The Federation's parliament is about to conduct a spring financial audit. Every year, I have to attend that damned hearing. The parliament members all want to take a bite out of our bare shell … If, and I'm saying if, those sons of the parliament members really die in Group 7, I really don't know what will happen in the parliament."
Xu Le held the phone and said, "I understand."
The president of the Nutshell Corporation's voice was a little tired. He said, "Can you apply sick leave for some of them?"
Xu Le did not spend time thinking about what the president meant. He looked at the young masters who were enjoying their miserable lives under the moonlight on the field and smiled. He showed his white teeth and said sincerely, "They are not sick or in pain."
The president heard the stubbornness hidden in this guy's words. After a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly and said calmly, "I'm not giving you pressure. Just follow the orders of the Department of Defense and do what you want … My brother is now in Group 3320. The things that those parliament members have done are indeed a little ugly."
Xu Le felt a little warm. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the president say, "There's one thing that I have to tell you."
"The fathers of the old soldiers under you already know that they are in Group 7. The Nutshell Corporation is just a corporation. We don't want to take on this kind of pressure for the government or the military, so … well … I've already told these big shots that you are in charge of Group 7. "
Xu Le was slightly taken aback. After a while, he said hesitantly, "You're expecting me to hold them back?"
"If even you can't hold them back, there shouldn't be anyone in the Federation who can," the president said with a smile on the phone.
Mr. President and the War God had both cultivated him. The key was that he had once shown his ruthlessness to the so-called upper class of the Federation. To hold back the big shots' rescue operation in Group 1, it had to be Xu Le. He knew this very well himself. The president had chosen him to be this knife because he had thought things through.
"You're in the West Woods?" Xu Le looked at the phone in his hand and suddenly realized.
The president replied with a smile, "Of course. To provide logistical support for the Federal Army, I have to be here to hold the line. Although you are now a lieutenant colonel in the general assembly base, if one day you don't want to stay in the active military, you can quickly return to the Nutshell Corporation. No matter if it's the research institute or the engineering department, you can choose any position you want. The first-class technical director position will always be reserved for you. The Federation may lose the youngest general in the future, but it will definitely gain the youngest independent technical director. "
For a giant like the Shell Motor Company, the employee who had made the greatest contribution in the past ten years was, of course, Xu Le, who had brought countless glory and achievements to the Nutshell Corporation. However, when he suddenly heard this sentence, he still felt a little warm. He replied to the phone, "I'm still an employee of the Nutshell Corporation. Don't forget that I'm in charge of Group 7. As for the independent technical director … "
He thought of that rainy night in Hong Kong, the middle-aged man who had been bribed by the Li family. He said, "I think Shang Qiu is more qualified than me."
…
…
Just as the president of the Nutshell Corporation said, the big shots of S1 suddenly found that the frontline commander of their son was … the legendary Xu Le. The rescue operation suddenly stopped. It wasn't that they were scared by Xu Le's fierce background, but they were actually more worried about their son's life. It was just that when the Ministry of Defense and the Nutshell Corporation shamelessly used Xu Le's name, the big shots couldn't find a suitable method.
Between the picturesque scenery of the back mountain, the villa stood proudly in the mountains by the lake. In the early morning, kingfishers sang in the valley, but it wasn't necessarily because of the villa. It was more likely that the birds looked at the snow on the mountain and were angry that they couldn't find a way to find the fruit.
Secretary Shen walked to the balcony with heavy steps and looked at his wife who was admiring the snow under the skylight. His eyes moved away from the black mink fur coat and said calmly, "The confidential secretary of the Parliament Hill Office called again. His tone was very anxious."
"Xi 'an only has one nephew, and they protect him like a treasure. Now he has been taken to the frontline in the West Woods by the Ministry of Defense and thrown into Xu Le's army. Of course he would be anxious." Lady Tai looked at the snow valley and said with a frown, "I can understand how he feels, but this is after all Mr. President's idea, and Minister Zou is carrying it out."
The shining appearance of President Pabre and Minister Zou Yingxing in the Federation's political arena had too much to do with this lady in the back mountain. Although Lady Tai's brows occasionally showed a thoughtful expression, guessing the ultimate goal of Mr. President, she didn't want to personally interfere and destroy the political intentions of her allies.
"They understand this very well," Secretary Shen said. "Listening to them, they want to directly talk to Xu Le and ask for our permission."
For the upper class of the Federation, although Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, who suddenly rose to prominence in the capital, had some problems with Mochou in the back mountain, because of his friendship with the Crown Prince, he was still deeply engraved with the brand of the Tai family.
Lady Tai picked up half of the best quality agarwood from the table and gently inhaled it. After a moment of silence, she said, "I won't stop them … but in my opinion, wanting to directly persuade Xu Le to save their useless children is just a wishful thinking."
Shen Li understood that he only needed to relay the first half of his wife's words to the Parliament Hill. He lowered his head and entered the command on the work screen.
"That little guy is stubborn and doesn't care about anything. Even I can't subdue him, let alone those people."
Lady Tai thought indifferently in her heart as she tightened the fur coat on her body and looked at the lonely pieces of ice on the lonely lake in front of the stage.
In her opinion, Old Jin was a heartless and heartless person who couldn't be coerced. His only student, Xu Le, walked a completely different temperament path. But she didn't know whether it was fate or this young man with small eyes was really cautious. It was rare that Xu Le could rely on relationships that he could control. If it wasn't the daughter of the Minister of Defense, it would be his own son, or the slick son of an aristocratic family like Li Laoqi. As for the national girl in the scandal, it was even more difficult to control her.
Thinking of this, Lady Tai's eyes showed a trace of appreciation and doubt. She thought back to Xu Le's life after he escaped from Donglin. She always felt that this life path had a faint shadow of someone, or else there was no way to explain it.
"Xu Le is very affectionate, but he is careful to avoid contact with ordinary people. If this is really intentional, I seem to have underestimated him." Lady Tai said softly, "He seems to be more cautious than you."
Secretary Shen, who was standing behind her, frowned slightly. A trace of complicated expression flashed through his eyes.
"He must love those ordinary lives. He isn't like the sons of nobles or the former emperors who yearn for the rural life and peaceful spring water. Because he is an insignificant person created by those places. Now that he is sitting on the throne of power in the Federation, he is still an insignificant person in his bones. "
Lady Tai turned slightly and said, "He is so careful to stay away from the good things. He must live a lonely life, but it can prove his perseverance and perseverance. This kind of person who has great perseverance and ruthless means, but has the aura of an insignificant person … is very dangerous. "
Secretary Shen thought with a slight sigh. Probably only Lady Tai could so clearly and easily understand the heart of Xu Le, that seemingly ordinary guy.
"Chairman Xi 'an only has one nephew." After a moment of silence, Lady Tai suddenly said, "Leave this matter to Ah Yuan. He also knows Xi Peng. He can't just watch that little guy die."
