Chapter 31: Chapter 31: A Historic Meeting
Just as Yu Lian and Wei Fan were engaging in conversation, Yan Shaohua’s mobile unit had also just arrived at the city gate.
"All units, form combat teams based on your squads, take up riot shields and life detectors, and eliminate all remaining alien beasts!
The communication team, establish a temporary communication station on the spot, launch drones, and search the vicinity for any scattered groups of alien beasts. Report immediately to Battalion Commander Liang of the tank battalion if any targets are found.
Battalion Commander Liang, keep the armored unit running for now, and pursue any routed alien beasts and blast the hell out of them!
Finally, the medical team, stand by on-site, check all medical equipment, and be prepared to provide medical aid once contact with the city side is complete."
After giving out the orders, Yan Shaohua agilely jumped down from the command vehicle.
He adjusted his collar and retrieved a military cap from the driver’s seat, putting it on his head.
Yan Shaohua adjusted his cap brim and asked Staff Officer Gu Junmin, "Old Gu, is my military cap on straight?"
Gu Junming looked seriously for a few seconds, "It’s straight, looking sharp."
Yan Shaohua nodded, patted his partner on the shoulder:
"Let’s go meet our ’compatriots’ from this world!"
Out of respect for the sovereignty of the alternate world city, Yan Shaohua did not order the troops to enter the city directly.
He and Gu Junming walked a short distance on foot and stopped at the city gate.
Soon, the figures of Yu Lian and Wei Fan appeared within the city gate, accompanied by a young man in his early twenties.
"Captain Yan!"
Yu Lian dashed forward, his eyes gleaming, his legs coming together to stand at attention as he saluted Yan Shaohua:
"Fire Squad Recon Team member Yu Lian, the task my homeland entrusted to me has been successfully completed, requesting to rejoin the team!"
Yan Shaohua solemnly returned the salute:
"Comrade Yu Lian, you’ve worked hard. On behalf of the Fire Squad Command and the Earth headquarters, I welcome your return!"
After the salute, Yan Shaohua looked at Wei Fan: "Hello, I am a member of the Huaxia Fire Squad, my name is Yan Shaohua."
Wei Fan exchanged a glance with the young man beside him, who stepped forward:
"Hello, this is my uncle Wei Fan, the current Patriarch of the Wei Family. I am Wei Niandong.
By the way, our ancestors came from Huaxia."
Compared to Wei Fan’s hesitant speech, Wei Niandong’s Huaxia language was noticeably more fluent.
Though not particularly standard, the general meaning was still easy to understand.
Roughly comparable to Guo Jie Rui’s level of Chinese.
Wei Niandong’s words also provided a final confirmation to the command’s previous speculation.
With a ’translator’ present, Yan Shaohua felt somewhat relieved, and he said to Wei Niandong:
"Brother Niandong, now that it’s confirmed your ancestors are Huaxia people, there’s no rush to discuss some matters. Higher-level representatives will be coming over soon to engage with you.
Our unit’s logistics team is ready. Can they be allowed to enter the city first to help treat the wounded and clear some of the ruins?
Rest assured, we won’t harm any civilians or damage any property.
We won’t take even a needle and thread from the people, that’s the principle of our team."
Wei Niandong translated Yan Shaohua’s words, and Wei Fan nodded without hesitation, "No problem, thank you!"
With Wei Fan’s permission, Yan Shaohua immediately called a service soldier:
"Inform Battalion Commander Zhao of the infantry battalion, tell three companies to walk into the city, assisting the medical team in treating the wounded and clearing the ruins.
By the way, I noticed there are many refugees in the city, tell the cooking squad to prepare, cook up canned beef stew in big pots for everyone.
We have over two thousand people in our regiment, we can spare a meal. With the logistics supply from the rear being quick, we must ensure the otherworldly refugees are fed first."
The serviceman responded loudly, "Yes!"
Then turned and ran off.
Soon, a small team of medics carrying medical kits briskly ran into the city, followed by hundreds of warriors with solemn expressions.
Then Yan Shaohua turned around, ready to say something else to Wei Fan, when suddenly a ’buzzing’ sound came from the distance.
Yan Shaohua looked up and saw a black dot appearing in the distant sky, flying rapidly towards the city.
Wei Fan stood up alertly, "What is... that?"
Yan Shaohua patted his shoulder, signaling him not to be too nervous, "That’s a helicopter, a type of aerial vehicle... you’ll have the opportunity to learn about it in the future. For now, Patriarch Wei, please prepare yourself, our representatives have arrived."
As Yan Shaohua said, the approaching object in the air was indeed the intact AC311A from the camp.
The standard payload of the AC311A is six people, but under the emergency modifications by the Hu Fei Group.
The co-pilot compartment’s storage box on the left-rear was temporarily removed, allowing this AC311A to have a short-range carrying capacity of nine people — a modification feature initially designed into the AC311A.
As long as it stays within the weight limit of 2.25 tons, the AC311A can temporarily increase the number of passengers to fourteen — one of the reasons AC311A is among the four gentlemen of AC, nicknamed the sky version of the Wuling Hongguang, you never know how many people it can spring from its small frame.
When it comes to modified machinery, the rabbits are quite adept at it.
Of the nine people aboard the AC311A flying to the city this time.
Besides Lin Li, Zeng Gu Cheng, Ma Ning, Dai Hongchao, there were also five big shots from the foreign affairs elite team, regulars on the trending lists.
It was clear that the rabbits took this meeting with the interdimensional civilization very seriously, sending a professional team for the exchange.
The helicopter quickly landed, and the first to disembark was an elder with a kind yet commanding presence.
His hair was slicked back, not a strand out of place, brows thick and strong.
His figure was tall and upright, his long legs exuding energy as he walked, his shirt neat and collar tight, paired with a tailored suit exuding uprightness.
Yan Shaohua quickly stepped forward, speaking with reverence to this elder:
"Hello, Elder Wang, I am Yan Shaohua, commander of the XX Military District Garrison Armored Infantry Regiment. Our regiment has annihilated a large number of alien beasts, and is currently cleaning up the battlefield, report complete!"
Master Wang glanced at the warriors moving bricks and stones on the city wall, pointing at them, he asked:
"Did the warriors enter the city after obtaining permission?"
As a professional long-engaged in external relations, Master Wang is very sensitive to and emphasizes sovereignty issues.
In the headquarters’ predetermined handover plan, the rabbits maintained an attitude of equal exchange with the alternate world city, giving the necessary respect.
Yan Shaohua immediately replied:
"We have obtained authorization from the city side. The medical team and rescue warriors walked into the city post-authorization, leaving all vehicles outside.
Let me introduce you, this is Wei Fan, clan leader of the Wei Family, and this is his nephew Wei Niandong."
Master Wang laughed heartily, extending his hand towards Wei Fan: "Hello, Clan Leader Wei, I am Mr. Wang from the Department of External Relations, and also one of your compatriots."
Wei Fan seemed a bit puzzled by the handshake gesture, but after a moment, tentatively extended his hand, tightly grasping Wang’s hand.
Snap—
Gu Junmin looked at the scene of the handshake recorded on his phone, nodding in satisfaction:
"As expected of Huawei P40Pro, the clarity is impeccable."
