The four words "Weird Tree" had already shocked Jiang Ying and Nao Jin. They knew very well how much commotion the Weird Tree had caused in Star City before. The entire Star City operations department was mobilized, and they reluctantly managed to remove the "Weird Tree"
The tree was suppressed, all its agents were eradicated, and it was forced into hiding.
And the weird tree on the other side of the Western Frontier Region almost destroyed the entire Western Frontier Region. If reinforcements from all over the country hadn't killed them, and if their Star City team hadn't been outstanding, the Western Frontier Region would have been destroyed by now.
The world of strange trees.
Who would have known that the war in the Western Region had stopped for less than a month, and just a few days after the Star City team returned, the backyard of Star City caught fire again?
The strange tree has almost penetrated into the surrounding area of Dajin Mountain, but the military is still not aware of it. This is a bit embarrassing to say the least.
No wonder Jiang Ying and Lao Jin looked so ugly.
Even if there are all kinds of excuses and reasons, this is not the reason for their negligence.
They represent the highest and most powerful armed force in the Central and South Region. Other departments can make various excuses, including lack of manpower, limited resources, and other reasons, but the military must not make any!
But Jiang Du said that her information was ten times more important than the strange tree!
In Star City, the news of the strange tree is already explosive enough, but it is ten times more important. I am afraid it is really a huge event that affects life and death.
Jiang Ying said solemnly: "Old Jin, go see Commander Yang right away. I'll arrange for my sister-in-law and I'll be there soon!"
Jiang read: "What else is there? Arrange some food and I'll fill my stomach. And these two guys, treat their injuries first. They must have more information. Xie Chun's group has not
It's so simple, you can't really wipe it out with just a group of people. These two people are still useful."
"Xiao Xie, take a few people to escort them to the infirmary. Remember, keep an eye on them and don't cause any problems." Lao Jin gave the order to the deputy beside him.
"Zhang Xiaoyun, take Comrade Jiang Du to the cafeteria for a meal. Remember to add two dishes. Treat him well and never neglect him."
Lao Jin looked at the two prisoners again: "By the way, give them some food, so they don't starve to death."
Treating comrades and prisoners is naturally two different things.
When Liu Zailai heard that he could still be treated for his injuries, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least for the time being, he wouldn't have to die. On the contrary, Guan Zi had long looked down on life and death, and was not as ecstatic as Liu Zailai.
It doesn't matter whether it's treated or not. Guanzi obviously doesn't pay much attention to it.
…
In the cafeteria, Zhang Xiaoyun was eating with Jiang Du. She was about to tell Jiang Du to add some dishes, but was stopped by Jiang Du.
"Xiao Zhang, there is no need to add more vegetables. These are enough. I have never had such a good meal in Panshiling." Jiang Du picked up the dinner plate without being pretentious. He put two steamed buns with a few vegetables and added
I found an egg, so I found a seat and started eating it.
Zhang Xiaoyun was a little unsure: "Jiang..."
"I see that you are about the same age as Xiaoying. If you don't mind, you can call me sister-in-law. If you don't mind, just call me sister. It doesn't matter."
Zhang Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue and said playfully: "If I call you sister, Jiang Yingfei will tear me apart later. I'd better call you sister-in-law."
…
Although Zhang Xiaoyun was a soldier, she was still a little girl, one or two years younger than Jiang Ying. Seeing that Jiang Du, a child of a reclusive family, was so unassuming and down-to-earth, she naturally felt both warm and curious.
Usually Jiang Ying is quite aloof, but Zhang Xiaoyun is a little afraid of Jiang Ying deep down in her heart.
But Jiang Du has a heroic appearance and acts vigorously and resolutely, which is very similar to Jiang Ying. But she is not as cold as Jiang Ying, and she has no airs. She arrived here with so much hardship in order to send information and share the worries of the military, but she didn't
Make some personal requests.
Based on this performance alone, Zhang Xiaoyun admires Jiang Du very much. He is worthy of being a descendant of the family.
Zhang Xiaoyun asked herself, could she, a soldier, be able to do what Jiang Du did? There is a high probability that she would not be able to do it.
With the aura of idolizing Jiang Du, Zhang Xiaoyun admired Jiang Du even more and consciously got up and poured Jiang Du a glass of milk.
"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, eat slowly." Zhang Xiaoyun instantly turned into a fan girl, serving her idol, which is much more interesting than the boring daily training.
Jiang Du was not in the habit of eating slowly. He ate up all the food in less than fifteen minutes.
Zhang Xiaoyun naturally drank the milk she poured.
"Xiao Zhang, let's go see your Captain Yang." Jiang Du saw that Jiang Ying and Lao Jin hadn't returned yet, and she didn't want to wait for a second longer.
Zhang Xiaoyun said: "Sister-in-law, please don't call me Xiao Zhang. Our leaders like to call me that. You can call me Xiaoyun or Yunyun."
"Okay, Xiaoyun, take me to see your Commander Yang."
Zhang Xiaoyun wondered: "I'm just a soldier and can't go directly to see Commander Yang. Otherwise, I'll take you to the lounge and wait for a while. Sister Jiang Ying and the others will definitely have news soon."
Jiang Du also knew not to embarrass the little girl. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
My niece has already taken action. No matter how urgent it is, I have to give her some time. I believe Jiang Ying has the ability to handle this matter.
Sure enough, within half an hour, Jiang Ying came over.
"Sister-in-law, come with me quickly to see Commander Yang."
Captain Yang had dealt with people from the old Jiang family very early on. Before recruiting Jiang Ying, he had actually dealt with Jiang Yue several times. He also recruited Jiang Yue, but was rejected by Jiang Yue.
.
It can be said that Captain Yang and the Lao Jiang family are old acquaintances.
Captain Yang's style is also that of a straightforward and straightforward person.
He personally poured a cup of hot tea for Jiang Du and said respectfully: "Comrade Jiang Du, they have explained the situation to me. On behalf of the military, I would like to express my highest respect to you and your old Jiang family."
Jiang Dudao: "These are exempted for now. Commander Yang, I have no selfish motives and I don't ask for any praise. I just ask if I can see General Tong. If not, please arrange a helicopter. I will go to Star City now.
See Han Yiyang take charge."
Captain Yang had heard them say before that Jiang Du was impatient, and very impatient. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew what impatient was.
This Jiang Du is simply more sassy and hot-tempered than Jiang Ying, he is just like a little pepper, not at all worldly and polite.
…
But as Jiang Du said, she has no selfish motives, so why should she be so polite to you?
Commander Yang said: "I'm going to call General Tong now. As long as General Tong nods, all those complicated procedures can be avoided. Let's give the green light and go directly to General Tong."
"Okay." Jiang Du was not pretentious at all.
Captain Yang was probably mentally prepared. After taking a deep breath, he picked up the phone on the table and started dialing.
After three beeps, someone answered the phone, and it was General Tong's secretary.
This Secretary Zhang once went to Jiang Yue's house in Daozi Lane to recruit Jiang Ying, so Jiang Du naturally had an impression because she was also present at the time.
"Director Zhang, I am Xiao Yang from the Special Forces. If there is an emergency, you must speak to General Tong personally."
"Captain Yang, if others don't know about the leader's situation, why don't you know? The leader is resting," Director Zhang said.
"This matter is too big. Please ask General Tong for instructions. It involves the strange tree in Star City, and it involves a situation that is ten times more important than the strange tree. It is related to the survival of the entire human race. It must be reported to General Tong immediately.
.”
In fact, Captain Yang was also under pressure. He only listened to Jiang Du's one-sided words. If Jiang Du was alarmist, he would also suffer the consequences.
But he made the call without hesitation, which showed his trust in the Jiang family.
Director Zhang couldn't help but said: "Captain Yang, your team seems to have been at the base and not dispatched recently, right? Where did you get such urgent information? You don't have to listen to the wind or rain, right? The lesson learned last time was not profound enough?"
Captain Yang said: "This time is different, Director Zhang..."
He was on speakerphone, and Jiang Ying and Jiang Du heard it.
Jiang Du heard that Director Zhang still didn't pay enough attention, and couldn't help but said: "Hello, Director Zhang, I am Jiang Du. Last time you personally led a team to Daozi Lane Villa to recruit my niece Jiang Ying. We have met. My father is
Old man Jiang Yunhe, my nephews Jiang Yue and Jiang Tong, and Director Zhang have also met. The urgent information that Captain Yang mentioned was brought by me from Panshiling. It is a major event that breaks the sky. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the survival of mankind.
One more minute wasted, and the subsequent troubles may be several times greater. Regardless of whether General Tong is resting or not, please be sure to wake him up."
It stands to reason that it was very impolite for Jiang Du to interrupt suddenly like this, and it must be taboo in officialdom.
However, Captain Yang did not stop him.
You, Director Zhang, feel sorry for General Tong, but you have to talk about the overall situation, right? A special operations leader named Yang may not have enough weight. Is Lao Jiang’s weight enough?
Director Zhang also had something strange. Of course he remembered the scene of recruiting Jiang Ying, and he also remembered that Jiang Ying did have such a sister-in-law, but at the time his impression seemed to be that she was just a housewife.
Could it be that everyone in the Lao Jiang family has hidden talents?
And when Jiang Du moved out Jiang Yunhe, Jiang Yue and Jiang Tong, the amount was really a bit big. You know, as a reclusive family in the Dazhang Kingdom, Lao Jiang's family attached great importance to and relied on the central government.
Director Zhang is a very powerful person, but in the final analysis he is just General Tong's secretary. He cannot make decisions for General Tong, let alone bear such responsibility.
After pondering for a moment, Director Zhang said in a deep voice: "Captain Yang, is Jiang Ying also around?"
…
"Yes, report to Director Zhang, I am Jiang Ying, please give me instructions."
"Jiang Ying, what's going on over there?" Director Zhang asked.
"The situation is very complicated. Neither Captain Yang nor I have the right to know the specific information. My sister-in-law said that we can only inform General Tong and the leader of Xingcheng Han."
Director Zhang listened to the solemn tone of each of them, and felt more and more that this matter was not simple. If he insists on shirk, and something happens, he will definitely bear the primary responsibility. Removal from office is only the lightest punishment.
It might even cause your head to fall to the ground.
He made up his mind immediately: "Wait a moment for me to call you back, and I'll go ask General Tong for instructions."
The phone was hung up and a blind beep sounded.
Jiang Ying saw that Jiang Du's face was a bit ugly, and knew that her sister-in-law must think that Director Zhang was too bureaucratic, and she must be dissatisfied.
He immediately explained: "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, Director Zhang didn't mean to shirk. In fact, something happened a while ago, and General Tong was attacked. The attacker also approached General Tong in the name of intelligence. General Tong was also injured.
, the injury was not serious. Fortunately, the worst situation did not occur in the end, and General Tong is still recovering from his injuries."
This is why the military is so cautious and why it is so complicated to meet General Tong.
After Jiang Du received this explanation, his expression softened slightly.
About three minutes later, Director Zhang's call came back.
"Captain Yang, bring Comrade Jiang Du and Jiang Ying, the three of you, over here. There will be a security check, please be considerate."
Captain Yang didn't waste any words: "Yes, let's go now!"
This process and time were much simpler than Jiang Du thought before. Her tense nerves gradually relaxed. As long as she saw General Tong, half of the task assigned by her father was completed.
The security check is very strict, no weapons are allowed, and identity must be verified again and again.
Jiang Du did not resist. The attack on General Tong was related to the overall situation of the military in the Central and South Region. It is not too much to be cautious.
General Tong's recovery is slower than expected, but he has recovered to 60-70%. Apart from looking a little haggard, he is not much different from a normal person.
Real top bosses may not always put on airs. Especially in small-scale meetings, unexpected affinity often emerges.
The same goes for General Tong.
"Haha, Xiao Yang, it has to be you. I don't think anyone else would dare to make this call."
Captain Yang said seriously: "General, if others knew that the situation was urgent, they would still make this call. Director Zhang, please don't blame me for being rude."
Director Zhang smiled and said: "Just don't blame me for being too bureaucratic. It's really the general's safety that cannot help but for me to be careless and cautious."
General Tong smiled and fixed his gaze on Jiang Du: "You must be Mr. Yunhe's daughter. You may not believe it, but I hugged you when you were young. Your father and I also have some dealings.
of."
General Tong's words shortened the distance between them.
He is more than 60 years old and is more than 30 years older than Jiang Du. It makes sense that he hugged Jiang Du when he was a child.
The old general's kindness and easy-going made Jiang Du feel more relaxed.
However, she still didn't talk nonsense and said seriously: "General Tong, I have two pieces of information. The first one is about the strange tree, everyone can listen to it. There is another more important piece of information that can only be reported to you alone.
I have to go to Star City to report to Han Yiyang alone. Please ask the general to arrange a helicopter to send me there at that time. It is urgent, the sooner the better."
A person in a superior position has the palace and magnanimity of a superior person. Even if there is urgent information, General Tong will still remain calm.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You tell me the first piece of information first."
