After the meeting, the operation to annihilate the evil giant dragon entered its preparatory phase.
The Otherworld Development Department began to get busy. A large amount of supplies was being transported to the magic world from the Otherworld Development Headquarters.
The next day, Li Chengfu found Su Han.
"Deputy Minister Su Han, the number of small trucks by the portal on Blue Star is now insufficient. All supplies at the Blue Star base will be transported by this afternoon. The portal needs to be moved."
Su Han asked, "The portal on Blue Star needs to be moved? Where to?"
Li Chengfu replied, "It's being moved to a base in the southern part of Dragon Country. Sufficient small trucks and supplies have been prepared there. All you need to do is move it."
Su Han said, "In that case, let's begin the move."
Then, escorted by soldiers, Su Han returned to Blue Star from the portal at the Otherworld Development Department Headquarters in the dinosaur world.
Upon exiting at the Blue Star base, he saw a large amount of supplies piled up.
The supplies were surrounded by vigilant soldiers.
When the soldiers saw Su Han emerge, they immediately surrounded and protected him. A high-level armored vehicle drove over to pick him up.
The vehicle took Su Han to the airport, where he transferred to a plane.
After Su Han boarded the plane, a formation of fighter jets escorted him.
Two hours later, Su Han deplaned at a base more than two thousand kilometers away in the south.
The military officer at this base warmly welcomed Su Han.
"Hello, Deputy Minister Su Han. I am Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang, stationed here."
Su Han looked at his smiling face and said, "Hello, Lieutenant General Zhu. You seem very happy. It seems something good has happened."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang chuckled, "Of course, something good has happened. Deputy Minister Su Han, your arrival here is a good thing."
Then, Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang shook hands with Li Chengfu next to him.
"Hello, Minister Li Chengfu."
Facing Li Chengfu, Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang's smile disappeared.
Li Chengfu asked, "Old Zhu, why are you so serious with me?"
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang replied, "How could I be? This is just my usual expression."
Then, Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang turned back to Su Han with a smile.
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang said with a smile, "Deputy Minister Su Han, I have always longed to visit the otherworld. Please follow me."
As they walked, Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang added, "By the way, can we increase the number of troops selected for our southern region by another hundred thousand?"
"A hundred thousand?" Su Han was confused.
Li Chengfu had to explain, "It's about the troop deployment. Of the fifty thousand combat troops for the Chu Shi plan, ten thousand are to be selected from this southern region. This is why Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang is smiling so warmly at you. But unfortunately, we can't release that many. Your southern region can only send ten thousand combat troops for now."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang laughed, "Little Li, don't worry about it too much. The number of troops sent still depends on Deputy Minister Su Han. You, as the minister of the Otherworld Development Department, can step aside. Your position will be Su Han's sooner or later. I want to speak with Brother Su Han."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang's hair was already gray, and he looked to be in his sixties. He was even willing to set aside his seniority and call Su Han his brother.
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang chuckled, "Brother Su Han, don't worry, I don't want to send too many soldiers. Just ten thousand is enough. Let them go to the otherworld to broaden their horizons, just like the magic world and the dinosaurs. Oh, and I want to go with those ten thousand people too."
Su Han knew that plans for such matters had already been made and could not be altered casually. Even as a deputy minister, he could not change the plan at will.
Su Han said, "Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang, the plan has already been formulated and cannot be modified casually. Changing the plan will affect subsequent operations. As for going to the otherworld, everyone in Dragon Country will have the opportunity in the future."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang continued to pester him, "Our sons from the south don't want to wait for the future, they want to go to the otherworld now. Big Brother Su Han, this is up to you."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang had even started calling him "Big Brother."
Hearing the escalating terms of address, Su Han stopped him, "Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang, please just call me Deputy Minister Su Han. Or you can call me Su Han directly."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang said, "Brother Su Han, please agree to my request. I'll do anything if you agree. By the way, let's have lunch first. I've saved a special bottle of good wine. Brother Su Han, we won't go home until we're drunk today!"
Deputy Minister Su Han shook his head and said, "Let's set up the portal first."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang pointed, "The defensive building ahead is the planned location for the portal."
Ahead was a massive military structure connected to a mountain.
Could it be the same as before?
Su Han walked into the building and indeed, it was the same. It was a base hollowed out from the mountain.
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang led Su Han into the mountain base.
Su Han entered, and it was a vast hall filled with numerous small trucks and piles of supplies.
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang pointed to a spot marked with a red rectangle and said, "Deputy Minister Su Han, let's set up the portal here!"
This spot was the closest to the interior of the hall, next to the mountain wall.
Su Han checked the time and said, "There are fifteen minutes and thirty seconds left until the portal is set up. I will wait here."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang replied, "Excellent, excellent. If we set up the portal now, it would be bad if someone happened to be passing through from the other side. Also, we cannot use phones to notify them to prevent intelligence leaks. By the way, Big Brother Su Han, let's talk about increasing the number of personnel again."
Su Han shook his head and said, "No, not a single person can be added. Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang, please stop talking. Everything will be implemented according to the plan."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang called for a few people to bring a chair for Su Han to sit on.
Su Han did not stand on ceremony and sat there, waiting for the appointed time.
At this time, at the original base, the portal had stopped the movement of supplies.
"Time's up."
Su Han set up the portal within the red rectangle.
After Su Han reconfigured the portal, the portal at the other base vanished.
At the dinosaur world's Otherworld Headquarters, Chu Shi, who was watching the portal, saw it flicker. Then, the view through the portal changed.
Chu Shi said, "Has it switched to the south?"
Saying that, Chu Shi stepped through the portal.
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang saw Chu Shi and said, "Hello, Chu Shi. By the way, can your plan accommodate more people?"
Chu Shi shook his head and said, "No more people can be added. Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang, let's begin transporting the supplies."
Lieutenant General Zhu Xingguang did not use a walkie-talkie and waved his hand, shouting, "Depart!"
The small trucks began to drive towards the portal.
