Chapter 1298 I can’t pretend anymore
Scott felt something was wrong, however, it was impossible for him to contact Qu Jianlei directly to verify it.
He really wanted to do a favor, but military discipline is no small matter, especially when it comes to matters involving the Special Operations Department.
So he contacted the major general who had contact with Qu Jianlei.
The major general was holding an important military meeting, and his adjutant wanted to know what was going on, but Scott couldn't tell him directly.
——Hill is a powerful resource. Although accidents may happen, it is not something that others can get involved in.
Time passed little by little in this suspicion and speculation.
After the major general finished his meeting and received the news, he paused for a moment and asked, "Didn't the notice come from a top-secret channel?"
After confirming this, he suggested that Scott contact Hill to find out what was going on.
The major general didn't want to be involved in this matter, but for Scott, he was just following orders from his superiors.
At least with this reputation, he is not considered to be having an affair.
Qu Jianlei brought three starships to the front line and was applying to the front-line troops to continue to advance and observe.
The troops at the front actually hated this kind of thing and wanted to decline politely - these guys in the observation group were really hard to serve.
The key is that the other side did not bring any escort warships, so the front line had to arrange warships for escort.
Otherwise, if something happens to the observation group, the front-line troops will also have to bear considerable responsibility - can't you just keep quiet?
However, even though they thought so, they couldn't refuse directly.
So they just said - you are just here to observe. If you want to move forward, let the rear arrange warships to escort you!
The attitude is clear between the words: We won’t serve you!
However, Qu Jianlei said: We are just going to go out and take a look, you don’t need to arrange for warships to go with us.
Actually, at this point, you can just force your way in, but wouldn’t it be better if you could go a little further forward?
He spoke very bluntly, but the military at the front still wanted to refuse: How can you go forward without the company of people from the war zone?
However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: If they want to make trouble, just let them do it.
Without a warrant from the war zone or accompaniment by personnel, it is not allowed to go forward without permission - and both are indispensable!
But there are always exceptions. The "Observation Group" as a group, in terms of team spirit alone, does not have the possibility of surrendering to the enemy!
——Even if there are a few people with bad intentions among them, it is impossible for them to kidnap such a large team, right?
So generally speaking, as long as someone from the war zone accompanies you, you don’t need a war zone warrant.
No one wants to offend the senior military officials and elites who come to inspect.
What the front-line troops care most about is the safety of the observation group, and everything else is trivial.
It was not uncommon for someone in the observation group to occasionally want to move forward - there were plenty of restless soldiers.
It’s just that there were people from the war zone accompanying me before, but not this time... It’s actually not a big deal.
After obtaining permission to move forward, the three starships moved forward slowly and leisurely - if you want to observe, you have to act like an observer.
At this moment, Scott called Qu Jianlei, "Hill, what's going on between you and the Special Operations Department?"
"What could possibly happen?" Qu Jianlei answered slowly, "They recruited me without authorization and ruined some of my business..."
"In short, it was not a pleasant experience with them, but we had a great record and they couldn't do anything about it."
Excellent record... When Scott heard this, he immediately associated it with the "powerful strength of Jinyang Merchant Ship".
So he simply stated, "It's like this, the theater received a notice from the Special Operations Department..."
Qu Jianlei listened to the other party's statement and was not in a hurry to speak. What he had to do now was to delay time.
After the other party finished speaking, he snorted, "We also rescued friendly forces... What does the Operations Department mean by this?"
I was just about to ask you something, Scott sighed, "Now someone is making trouble, saying that we didn't board the ship to check you, and that there was a lack of procedures."
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei snorted disdainfully, "You are just bored. Okay, I'll let the people from the war zone board the ship in a moment."
"That's what I told you," Scott breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party's unhurried attitude.
"I'm telling you, don't bother with these bastards... What are you doing now?"
"We'll select an area to stake out," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "and we'll have results soon."
"Uh, I mean where are you? I'll go find you now. When we're done, we can just get together with the seniors."
"I'm at the front line now, go out and observe."
"The front line is fine... er, the front line?" Scott was stunned. "Why did you go there? Do you have the procedures?"
"No," Qu Jianlei answered slowly, "I'm just observing it casually. How can I be afraid of this little danger?"
"Then who is with you?" Scott was really anxious. "If there is no formality, then there is a lack of process!"
"We have only three starships," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "We will go through the formalities... You also know about my wife's situation."
Most of his acquaintances knew about his marital status—even though he was from a military family, he was still marrying up.
Even everyone knows the influence of his wife in the family.
Some people even joked that even if Hill advanced to the highest level, he might not be able to withstand the lady's anger.
Of course, these rumors were just gossip, but they spread really widely - they also involved high-level movements!
Scott naturally knew this, and laughed when he heard it, "Isn't she still concerned about your safety?"
But after saying this, he frowned. Why did he always feel that... something was wrong?
Almost at the same time, the big-headed butterfly began to turn.
"The command center has issued an order to the front line, requiring them to board our starship for inspection... This is feedback from the confidential room."
It turned out that the person who received the notice reported the situation to his superiors.
They believed that they had given Scott enough time to react, and reporting at this moment would not offend their colleagues.
As for whether Scott can handle the relevant matters in a timely manner, that is not their concern.
The notice was forwarded a little late, and they were worried that they would be held accountable, so they even made an explanation.
Because it concerns high-level friendly forces, we have made a special effort to verify the situation.
The improper process was that the three starships did not undergo boarding inspections, but no other abnormalities were found.
No one could say anything about this bland report.
After receiving the notification, the front-line troops immediately began calling for regimental-level ships.
Finding that the other side did not respond, the two battalion-level ships started up instantly and chased after them, while constantly flashing signals.
——The reaction of the front-line troops is really not an exaggeration. The whole reaction time is no more than five seconds.
Qu Jianlei delayed for ten seconds before answering the call. The other party spoke directly,
"Ship 18926, Ship 18926, now receiving an order from the forward command, your ship is to stop immediately and accept a comprehensive inspection!"
Unable to pretend any longer, Qu Jianlei snorted coldly and said, "Speed up everything, the Tres merchant ship will be the rear guard!"
The three starships were originally flying in a triangle.
The regimental-class ship suddenly accelerated, and the Jinyang merchant ship also accelerated suddenly and chased after the regimental-class ship.
The Tres ship made a big turn and followed behind the two ships - it was obviously cannon fodder to block the artillery fire.
Qu Jianlei had originally planned to abandon these two merchant ships, but now that they were able to enter the restricted area, he naturally had to make use of them.
These moves were obvious, and he was not afraid of the other party hearing them.
The three starships suddenly changed their formation, completely shocking the troops on the front line.
Although they realized that something might have gone wrong, they never expected that they would actually encounter the observation group surrendering to the enemy!
The two pursuing battalion-level ships were stunned at first, and then hurriedly asked their superiors whether to attack the fleet.
Even though they started quickly when chasing, the authority to decide to open fire was not in their hands.
This is different from the enemy. If a starship suspected to be from the Empire appears, attack directly without asking for permission.
But this is our own starship, and what’s more terrible is that it has an extraordinary origin!
If one's imagination is a little stronger, one will think of scenes such as political struggles and high-level infighting.
Therefore, the decision to open fire was not something they could make!
The command center is now in chaos - this sudden incident has completely stunned everyone.
The observation team in the Triangle Star Region actually surrendered to the enemy, and... they were led by the grandson-in-law of a certain admiral!
Even the best screenwriter wouldn't dare to make up such a story, right? Reality is indeed more absurd than drama!
Finally, someone continued to call the regimental ship, "Hill, do you know what you are doing?"
No matter whether the other party answers that they know or not, as long as they answer, you can open fire!
They will not give the other side any chance to delay time, and while asking this question, it will not affect their own combat preparations.
However, a cold snort came from the other side, "You still want to get Hill? He is still alive!"
Oh my god... The lieutenant general who shouted suddenly wanted to curse. So Hill was captured?
However, this answer did make the situation clear - this should also be the only reasonable explanation for the regimental-level ship's surrender to the enemy.
No one really doubted that Hill would surrender to the enemy, even though the military was preparing to launch an attack.
A descendant of a general, with amazing talent, steady behavior, and a strong backer! If such a person can defect to the enemy, who else would not be suspicious?
Now the mystery is solved, but the question arises again...can we still fire?
Qu Jianlei has been in the Federation for so long that he knows that this society is not as ruthless as the Empire. If it were the Empire, it would just open fire.
But he still emphasized, "We still have more than 400 federal military prisoners of war!"
"Of course, these soldiers are all from the Triangle Military Region... This military region is relatively weak, you can open fire!"
Hill alone is enough to give the command a headache, not to mention the more than 400 federal soldiers!
The command center was really worried. It would be easy to deal with Hill as a prisoner. They could just contact the general and then open fire.
——That’s right, just send the contact, no need to wait for a reply, it just represents the respect of the front-line theater to the admiral.
But there are still more than 400 soldiers...things are really tricky.
