Chapter 1298 I Can’t Pretend Anymore

Scott felt something strange, but he couldn't contact Qu Jianlei directly to verify.

He did want to sell favors, but military discipline is no small matter, especially when it comes to 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 inquire about the situation, 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 with.

Time passed little by little in this suspicion and speculation.

After the major general finished the meeting and received the news, he pondered and asked, "Isn't the notice from a top-secret channel?"

After confirming it, he suggested that Scott take the initiative to contact Hill to see what was going on.

The major general didn't want to get involved in this matter, but for Scott, he was just following the orders of his superiors.

At least with this name, he was not considered to have a secret relationship with Qu Jianlei.

Qu Jianlei brought three starships to the front line and was applying to the front-line troops to continue to observe.

The frontline troops actually hated this kind of thing, so they wanted to decline politely - the observation group was really hard to serve.

The key point was that the other side did not bring escort warships, and the frontline had to arrange warships to escort.

Otherwise, if something happened to the observation group, the frontline troops would also have to bear considerable responsibility - can't you just be quiet?

However, they thought so, and they couldn't refuse directly.

So they just said - you are just here to observe, if you want to go forward, let the rear arrange warships to escort!

The attitude was clear in the words: we won't serve!

However, Qu Jianlei said: We are just going to go forward to take a look, you don't need to arrange warships to go with us.

In fact, at this time, it's okay to force your way in, but wouldn't it be better if you could go a little further?

He said it very bluntly, but the frontline military still wanted to refuse: How can you go forward without the company of people from the war zone?

However, when the words came to his lips, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: since they want to toss, let them toss.

Without a warrant from the war zone or someone accompanying them, they should not be allowed to go forward without permission - both are indispensable!

But there are always exceptions. The "Observation Group" as a group, in terms of the team itself, does not have the possibility of surrendering to the enemy!

- Even if there are a few people with bad intentions, it is impossible for them to kidnap such a large group, right?

So generally speaking, as long as there is someone from the war zone accompanying them, there is no need for a warrant from the war zone.

No one wants to offend the senior military officials and elites who come to inspect.

The front-line troops are most concerned about the safety of the observation group, and everything else is trivial.

It is not uncommon for someone in the observation group to want to go forward occasionally - there are many restless soldiers.

It's just that there was someone from the war zone accompanying them before, but not this time... It's actually not a big deal.

After obtaining permission to go forward, the three starships moved forward slowly - observation should be done in an observational manner.

At this moment, Scott called Qu Jianlei, "Hill, what's going on between you and the Special Operations Department?"

"What's going on?" Qu Jianlei answered slowly, "They requisitioned me without authorization and ruined some of my things..."

"In short, it's not very pleasant to get along with them, but we have an excellent record and they can't do anything about it."

An excellent record... Scott heard this and instantly connected it with "Jinyang Merchant Marine's strong strength".

So he simply stated directly, "It's like this, the war zone 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?"

I was going to ask you, Scott sighed, "Now someone is meddling, saying that they didn't board the ship to check you, and that there was no procedure."

"Tsk," Qu Jianlei snorted disdainfully, "You are really bored, okay, let the people in the war zone board the ship in a while."

"That's what I said," Scott heard that the other party was still taking his time, and he was secretly relieved.

"I'm telling you, if there's such a thing, don't pay attention to these bastards... What are you doing now?"

"Choosing an area to stake out," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "There will be a result soon."

"Uh, I mean where are you, I'll go find you now, and when we're done, we can just get together with the seniors."

"I'm at the front line now, going out to observe."

"Front line is good... er, front line?" Scott was stunned, "Why did you go there, do you have the procedures?"

"No," Qu Jianlei answered slowly, "Just observing casually, can you be afraid of this little danger?"

"Then who's with you?" Scott was really a little anxious, "If there are no procedures, there's a lack of process!"

"There are only three of us," Qu Jianlei said slowly, "Go through the procedures... You also know my wife's situation."

Most of his acquaintances know about his marital status - even if he is from a military family, he still married up.

Even his wife's influence at home is clear to everyone.

Some people even joked that even if Hill advances to the highest level, he may not be able to withstand his wife's anger.

Of course, these rumors were just gossip, but they spread really widely - they also involved high-level movements!

Scott naturally knew all this, and laughed, "She is still concerned about your safety?"

But after saying this, he frowned, why do I always feel... something is wrong?

Almost at the same time, the big-headed butterfly started to turn.

"The command center issued an order to the front line, requiring boarding our starship for inspection... It was feedback from the confidential room."

So the person who received the notice still reported the situation.

They believed that they had left Scott enough time to react, and reporting at this moment would not be considered to offend colleagues.

As for whether Scott could handle the relevant matters in time, that was not what they wanted to consider.

The notice was handed over a little late, and they were worried that the higher-ups would hold them accountable, and even made an explanation.

Because it was related to the senior leaders of the friendly forces, we specially verified the situation.

The improper process was that the three starships did not accept the boarding inspection, and no other abnormalities were found.

No one could say anything about this stable report.

After receiving the notice, the front-line troops immediately began to call the regimental ships.

Finding that the other side did not react, the two battalion-level ships started up instantly and chased after them, while constantly flashing lights.

——The reaction of the front-line troops was really not exaggerated, and the reaction time did not exceed five seconds.

Qu Jianlei delayed for ten seconds before answering the call, and the other side spoke directly,

"Ship 18926, Ship 18926, now receiving the order from the front command, your ship will stop immediately and accept a comprehensive inspection!"

Really unable to pretend, Qu Jianlei snorted coldly and said, "Speed ​​up all the way, Tres merchant ship will be the rear!"

The three starships were originally flying in a triangle.

The regiment-level ship suddenly accelerated, and the Jinyang merchant ship also accelerated suddenly and chased after the regiment-level ship.

The Tres ship turned a big corner and followed behind the two ships - this was obviously cannon fodder to block the artillery.

Qu Jianlei originally planned to abandon these two merchant ships. Since they could enter the restricted area, they would naturally make use of them.

These moves were obvious, and he was not afraid of letting the other side hear them.

The three starships suddenly changed their formation, which completely shocked the front-line troops.

Although they realized that something might have gone wrong, they never expected that they would encounter an observation group defecting to the enemy!

The two battalion-level ships that were chasing were stunned at first, and then hurriedly asked their superiors whether to attack the fleet.

Although they started quickly when chasing, the authority to decide to open fire was not in their hands.

This is still different from the enemy. If a starship suspected to be from the Empire appears, they can attack directly without asking for permission.

But this is our own starship, and what's more, it's not ordinary!

If the association is a little stronger, you will think of plots such as political struggles and high-level infighting.

So this decision to open fire is really not something they can make!

The command center is now in chaos - this incident has directly stunned everyone.

The observation group in the Triangle Star Region actually defected to the enemy, and... it was led by the grandson-in-law of a certain admiral!

Even the best screenwriter would not dare to make such a mess, right? It turns out that reality is more absurd than drama!

Finally, someone continued to call the regimental ship, "Hill, do you know what you are doing?"

No matter if the other party answered yes or no, as long as there was an answer, they could open fire!

They would not give the other party a chance to delay time, and while asking this question, it would not affect their own combat preparations.

However, a cold snort came from the other side, "Do you still want Hill? He is still alive!"

Is it rough... The lieutenant general who called out wanted to curse immediately, so Hill was captured?

However, this answer did make the situation clear-this should be the only and reasonable explanation for the regimental ship to surrender to the enemy.

No one really doubted that Hill would surrender to the enemy, even if the military was ready to launch an attack.

A descendant of a general, with amazing qualifications, steady behavior, and a strong backing! If such a person surrendered to the enemy, who else would not be suspected?

Now the mystery has been solved, but the question is again...Should we open fire?

Qu Jianlei has been in the Federation for so long, and knows that this society is not as iron-blooded as the Empire. If it were the Empire, he would open fire directly.

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 make the command center a headache, not to mention the more than 400 federal soldiers!

The command center is really worried. Hill is a prisoner, so it's easy to deal with. Just contact the general and then open fire.

-That's right, just send a contact, no need to wait for a reply, just represents the respect of the front-line war zone for the general.

But there are more than 400 soldiers...things are really tricky.
