If something had truly happened to the Art Troupe, then when their superiors come down with their punishments, they wouldn’t trouble the Ground Forces soldiers who had obligated themselves into the search. Instead, they would award them for their bravery.
But there was a link in between that he needed to consider, and that was the team leader of the Ground Forces soldiers; he needed this Team Leader of the Ground Forces to know that his soldiers were involved in this search, after all, he had indirectly borrowed his men into the investigation.
This was an emergency rescue where anything might happen at any time; that’s why he must let the team captain know about it.
When the Ground Forces Team Leader knows of it, if he thinks the situation doesn’t need for him to give aid with his troops, then he could completely stay in the cave and wait for news. If he was worried or wished to involve himself in the search, then that was a voluntary search; the military wouldn’t hand them punishments because of that.
The Ground Aviation Regimental Commander had his own plans in his heart. Still, he couldn’t tell his soldiers in such detail, let alone say to the soldier that was currently facing Xia Jinyuan.
Whether or not the Ground Forces’ Team Leader understood his intentions, everything hangs on how high his comprehension ability was.
After contacting the aircrew of Black-24 for the second time, he had ordered his soldiers to suitably tell the team leader of the Ground Forces, as for more, he couldn’t say much.
When Xia Jinyuan told the Ground Aviation soldier that they still had Ground Forces soldiers on board Black-20 patrol helicopter, he already had an inkling about the Ground Aviation Regimental Commander’s plans, which was why he said this Regimental Commander was an impressive person.
When he drew out the triangle, he was even more certain about the intentions of this Ground Aviation Regimental Commander.
Somethings and some words aren’t things that a Regimental Commander could speak of, could do, let alone arrange as he wills it, the Discipline of the Military aren’t decorations, neither are Military Discipline. Military Law solely talk, whoever made a mistake; no matter what your rank was, the punishment would be severe without a plea.
Precisely because the Ground Aviation Regimental Commander had such impressive awareness, that’s why he could make such a plan.
Xia Jinyuan, who had realized his intentions naturally wouldn’t make it hard for a soldier who had received his orders, after asking the soldier whether the location the Art Troupe had lost contact was the Tibet highway towards Mazar Pass, he didn’t even need the guy to answer, as he could already get the answer just from his expression.
“Alright, I already know, you can leave.” Xia Jinyuan, whose handsome face dropped colder than the freezing snow land outside, motioned for the Ground Aviation soldier to stand down, now that he knew things would be easier. However, he still had to make a detailed plan before heading out.
The Ground Aviation soldier’s expression immediately collapsed, Major, sir, what did you know? I didn’t even say anything, sir, what do you know?
Don’t tell me you’re really going to bring so many brothers from the Ground Forces and overcome mountains to join in the search, from where they were at, they wouldn’t arrive in just one or two hours, it’ll take at least half a day’s time!
Xia Jinyuan didn’t have any effort to spend talking with this soldier whose forehead had creased into several folds; he needed to calculate how long it’ll take for them to reach Kudi Pass from where they were at.
“Black-20 will try their best to land as soon as possible, meanwhile, we don’t have to go through Tibet Highway, we can march as well as do a blanket search to check if there are any lost soldiers from the Art Troupe along the way.” Xia Jinyuan was an extremely excellent decision-maker; he wouldn’t delay things that he had decided on and would instead start the operation immediately; at the same time, he would make a discreet arrangement.
Time, weather, the location didn’t allow him to consider for too long, and he must make a decision as soon as possible.
Kudi Pass, in Uighur language, it roughly means ‘Snow Mountain Not Even Monkeys Can Climb Up,’ the pass was 27 kilometers, and was the lowest altitude Pass towards Shenxianwan Outpost, and was also the start of the hardest journey.
