Chapter 373 All parties are mobilized (1)
Regardless of the government's attitude, the military is determined to give Ye Na the best benefits at all costs.
After the experience just now, they all deeply realized that Ye Na's ability is crucial to victory in this war, and she must be given sufficient support and rewards.
Commander Chen is a lieutenant general and is not affiliated with the Kyoto Military Region. However, how could he not have many connections in his long military career?
Therefore, he made the call directly to an acquaintance in the military command center.
After a series of strict identity verification and extension transfer procedures, Commander Chen finally heard a familiar voice from the receiver.
"Old Fan, are you still working overtime?" Commander Chen spoke first.
"What do you think? Is it time to get off work now? You haven't called me in a hundred years, and now you're calling me out of the blue. What do you want? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart it."
The man called Lao Fan had a tone of dissatisfaction and irritability, as if he was worried about something at work. However, this was his job scope and his daily state. As an old acquaintance and friend, Commander Chen had long been accustomed to his behavior.
"Tsk, look at what you said, am I that kind of person?" Commander Chen chuckled on the other end of the phone, his laughter revealing a hint of relief.
"Hey, did you call me just to talk nonsense? I don't have time to chat with you." The old Fan on the other end seemed extremely impatient, as if he was going to hang up the phone in the next second.
"Okay, okay, okay. I know you are busy, so I will make it short and tell you a great piece of news." Commander Chen quickly changed the subject.
"What great news? The enemy has withdrawn?" Lao Fan said casually. This was something he had been looking forward to in his dreams.
"Oh, it's almost done." Commander Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. After all, that was what Ye Na promised, and they had experienced it personally.
"...What?! Say it again!" Lao Fan's shocked voice rose several decibels.
"Well, here is reliable news. As long as we ensure adequate support, we may be able to hold a New Year's party in the other world at the end of this year."
Commander Chen coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and repeated Ye Nai's words word by word to Lao Fan on the other end of the phone in a sonorous and forceful manner.
There was no sound on the phone and it fell into silence.
"Hello? Hello...? Old Fan, are you still listening?" Commander Chen called into the microphone a few times in confusion, "Why is there no sound all of a sudden? Is the line disconnected? Is the quality of the phone line so bad?"
"Chen Qihui!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the phone. The volume was so loud that Commander Chen was so scared that he immediately moved the microphone away from his ear.
"Fan Zeyang, why are you shouting so loudly? Where is your self-control as the Deputy Minister of Operations?" Commander Chen Qihui knew why the man on the other side suddenly became so excited and was still smiling. He was not angry at all for scaring him just now.
"What the hell is self-cultivation! Chen Qihui, tell me, did you make up what you just said?!" Fan Zeyang was very emotional, his voice full of anxiety and questioning.
"What a bunch of bullshit! Am I that kind of person? If I didn't have accurate information, why would I call you on a confidential phone? Look at what time it is, and you're already dozing off? Wake up!"
Chen Qihui raised his voice a little. It was obviously great news, but his old friend acted like he was hearing a scam call. That was absolutely unacceptable.
There was a clear and noticeable inhalation sound from the other end of the line.
After pausing for a few seconds again, Fan Zeyang on the other side spoke again.
"Old Chen, you must tell me the truth. Where did you hear this news?"
"Not only have I heard about it, I have also personally experienced cross-world teleportation. Together with my staff officer, I stood in a military camp in another world for a while."
There was another burst of rapid gasps from the other end of the phone.
Hearing the panting, Commander Chen couldn't help but get a little worried. "Hey, Lao Fan, are you okay? If you feel unwell, go see a doctor right away."
"Bullshit! I'm not feeling uncomfortable at all. Wait a minute. I want to be quiet."
"Oh, okay, just be quiet, just be quiet, the people are already in your barracks anyway."
"Who? What military camp? What's going on? Old Chen, you're making me anxious. Can you please finish what you want to say at once? Are you calling me to ask me to help you or to make me happy?"
"Am I the kind of person who would make a confidential phone call to amuse you? Lao Fan, you really underestimate me!"
"Okay, okay, so you want me to help?"
"Oh, a little bit. When they mobilized the troops for the counterattack, they included me. I had so many soldiers under me, and they were all eager to make progress."
"A major counterattack? Lao Chen, are you kidding me?"
"No kidding, no kidding, our country has a treasure, a living space awakener who can open a portal with his bare hands and teleport across space."
There was a sudden inhalation sound from the other end of the microphone, so loud that Lao Chen almost thought that Lao Fan on the other side had fainted.
"Hey, Lao Fan? Are you still alive?"
"...Chen Qihui!" The voice coming from the other end of the phone was filled with a fierceness and gnashing of teeth.
"Eh?" Commander Chen remained calm and responded with a smile.
"Are you responsible for what you just said? Are you really not joking?"
"I'm not kidding. I'm responsible for what I say. I swear on my military rank that I'm not kidding."
"Okay, where is the person?"
"In your military camp."
"Which military camp?"
"Tsk, which military camp of yours can an outsider go to? The one outside Beijing, the one under Captain Lin's control!"
"Does Captain Lin know about this?"
"He definitely doesn't know. I asked him to send a senior team to pick him up and have him sign a confidentiality agreement before doing anything. Now the only people who know about it are that team. But Captain Lin is not stupid. He should have realized it by now and asked around."
"What's the name of the awakened one? Is he male or female? How old is he?"
"Yena, female, 20 years old."
"Twenty years old?" There was another exclamation from the other side.
"Twenty years old. I've checked her file. Her birthday is in April. She's currently an Iron-ranked Hunter."
"Twenty years old, an Iron-class hunter? Is she a retired soldier who was discharged from the army for some reason?"
"No, just a casual person."
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Look, you're getting excited again. That's what her file says. An Iron-level hunter. She accepted a mission to kill enemies at the border. She started training in May and started working in June. She just came back today. When she completes her mission, she will be a Bronze-level hunter. Let me tell you, the National Defense University is also very concerned about her. Originally, they arranged for a helicopter to pick her up, but the girl didn't accept the favor. She said she couldn't afford it, so she went back on her own. It was my staff officer who called the National Defense University to reject her call."
