"Okay! I'll be right there!" Rose hung up the phone: "Look, I've taken care of things for you. Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me why it was necessary to meet the leader in person?"

“There’s nothing I can’t say! I just think that going through the headquarters chief might make things go more smoothly!” Tang Ming nodded. “I was able to complete this mission successfully thanks to an unsung hero who had been hiding in the Philippines all along!”

"This proves that the hero has been in Africa for a full 25 years, dedicating his youth and even everything to our motherland!"

"I believe that our country should not let such heroes shed blood and tears; we must ensure that they have a good home!"

After listening to Tang Ming's description, Rose couldn't help but nod:

"Tang Ming, you're absolutely right! I support you! Let's go find the headquarters leaders together now!"

"Wait a minute! Captain Rose, may I ask if I may? Why don't you need an appointment to see the headquarters leaders?"

Tang Ming is now somewhat curious about the rose.

Rose was clearly delighted by this: "Why don't you guess first?"

The two walked and talked without delay, treating it as casual conversation.

what is the reason behind the scene?

Upon closer examination, there are only a few possible reasons.

Either Rose and the head of headquarters are acquaintances, or the head of headquarters may even be Rose's elder!

Given Tang Ming's understanding of roses, this is indeed very likely.

In addition, it is possible that the headquarters leaders valued the Shenwei Special Forces Brigade highly and granted the Shenwei Special Forces Brigade commander the right to report directly to the headquarters leaders at any time.

This possibility is also extremely high.

The remaining possibilities are relatively small.

For example, Rose was just lying to Tang Ming; she didn't actually call the head of headquarters' secretary.

Overall, Tang Ming still leans towards the first guess: "I think it's because the Standing Committee member and the head of headquarters are acquaintances, right?"

After Qiangwei and Tang Ming left, becoming the 3rd base of the Special Forces, they boarded a military vehicle heading to headquarters. Only then did Qiangwei smile and shake her head.

"I don't mean to lie to you. My elders do have a good relationship with the headquarters leaders, but that's not the reason I can meet with them just by making an appointment!"

"Then the captain of the special operations brigade in our province should have the authority to report directly to the headquarters, right?"

“Your answer is a bit unrealistic!” Rose shook her head: “Although our Xiaoming Special Forces Brigade has a relatively special status in headquarters, and can even be said to be the most relied-upon ace force of headquarters, our rank is what it is, and we are not qualified to report directly to the headquarters leaders.”

Seeing that Tang Ming had failed to guess the rose's name twice in a row, he seemed to be in a very good mood and said with a smile, "Why don't you try again?"

Tang Ming gave up on futile resistance: "I really can't guess. I'll trouble you, Captain, to tell me!"

"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to be involved. There's something Tang Ming didn't even know!"

Since meeting Tang Ming, Qiangwei had suffered countless setbacks at his hands, and even began to doubt whether she could ever get any benefits from him again. Unexpectedly, she regained her confidence with Tang Ming in the blink of an eye.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you!"

Rose seemed to be in a very good mood: "The reason I can meet with the leader without an appointment is not because of me, but because of you?"

Because of me?

Tang Ming was instantly stunned!

He had never even met the headquarters leaders before!

However, Tang Ming was not stupid.

"Is it because I successfully completed this mission?"

"That's right! You've finally figured it out!" Rose said with a smug look on her face. "As a squadron leader, you're the first person to be summoned by headquarters as soon as you return from an overseas mission!"

Tang Ming nodded in deep agreement!

He was just a small company commander. Although Tang Ming never underestimated himself, he was indeed an insignificant figure in the entire army.

To be summoned by the headquarters leader so immediately is truly a great honor!

Now he understood why the headquarters chief's secretary had sent Rose directly over!

This was directly ordered by the headquarters commander.

The rose is merely the executor.

It wasn't that Rose could meet with the headquarters leader without an appointment; rather, it was the headquarters leader who gave the order for Rose to bring Tao Ming to see him!

The difference is huge!

"The commander wants to summon me, surely it's not just because he's concerned about the mission I just completed?"

Now that he knew the headquarters leader's intentions, Tang Ming naturally had some guesses.

The incident on Alcatraz was certainly very serious, but since it has already been dealt with, it's not necessary for the headquarters leaders to get involved.

"You'll find out in a moment! You've been telling me that we can't let heroes shed blood and tears at the same time. The headquarters commander has called you over, so take this opportunity to give him your feedback!"

Rose emphasized, "I personally support your decision!"

A nation must treat its heroes well; this is not only Tang Ming's idea, but also the consensus of Qiangwei!

Unsung heroes like the driver deserve everyone's respect!

The two chatted casually and arrived at the headquarters in less than half an hour.

"That's enough for the little girl from the Sun family. You should stay out of the rest of the matter!"

At the headquarters entrance, the head of headquarters rudely chased Rose away: "If you leave me here, who knows what kind of trouble you'll give me later!"

"Grandpa Chen, this is blatant slander!"

Upon hearing this, Rose retorted, "When have I ever given you a problem? You're the one who's always giving me problems, okay?"

"Stop, stop, stop! I'm not arguing with you!" The headquarters leader immediately backed down when he saw this: "Alright, fine, your Grandpa Chen was wrong, okay?"

"That's more like it!" Rose left triumphantly, giving Tang Ming an OK sign before she went.

"I just heard from that little girl, Rose, that you wanted to see me. Just tell me what's on your mind!" The headquarters chief seemed extremely approachable: "I've read your report on this operation, and overall, your performance was commendable."

"Reporting to the commander, I am willing to use all the rewards I receive for completing this mission in exchange for your suggestion to the relevant departments!"

"You're offering all the rewards just for a suggestion?" The headquarters chief asked, puzzled. "If your suggestion makes sense, I'll report it to the relevant departments even if you don't say anything. But if your suggestion is absurd, I absolutely will not agree to it, even if you give up all the rewards!"

"The commander is like this..."

Tang Ming then explained to the headquarters leaders again the details of his interactions with the driver during the mission, ending with a helpless bitter smile: "I know it's difficult to ask you to intervene. Whether or not to recall these unsung heroes is a matter for the relevant departments, and in principle, it has nothing to do with our headquarters!"

"But I simply cannot stand by and watch these people who have made great contributions to our motherland and our Chinese nation, these true unsung heroes behind the scenes, not only fail to receive recognition, but also have to face an extremely miserable future!"

"They are the heroes of our China!"

"We, the Chinese nation, must never let our heroes feel disheartened!"

"Great! Your suggestion is excellent!" The headquarters leader agreed to Tang Ming's request without hesitation: "Now that I know about it, even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have reported it to the relevant departments!"

"Thank you, sir. I have nothing else to say!"

"You have nothing else to say, but I've called you here because there's something I must tell you!" The headquarters chief's expression gradually turned serious: "I need you to accompany me on a trip abroad to bring back the real heroes!"

"Compared to the unsung heroes you mentioned, they are the true heroes who truly deserve the title!"

"Bring back the real heroes?"

A vague guess flashed through Tao Ming's mind, but he wasn't quite sure: "What are you talking about, Commander?"

If it is indeed as Tang Ming suspected, then the importance of this matter is self-evident!

It could even be said that this was a momentous event for the entire Chinese nation.

"You don't need to be so cautious. The matter has been settled. After friendly negotiations with South Korea, we will go to South Korea to welcome the true hero back to China!"

boom!

It was like a thunderclap resounding in Tang Ming's mind.

He never imagined that he would actually be going to welcome those heroes from South Korea back home.

The countless heroes and martyrs of the war that founded China decades ago are forever buried in South Korea, a wound that will forever remain in the hearts of all Chinese soldiers!

In recent years, the relationship between China and South Korea has been unclear. Most of the remains of heroes who were left behind in other small countries have been returned home, but the heroes of South Korea have not been able to return.

Tang Ming then realized what was happening.

This must be why Rose was able to meet with the headquarters leader without an appointment.

In other words, the headquarters leaders have been waiting for Tang Ming to complete his mission and return to China.

Going to South Korea to welcome back the true hero is a matter of national importance. If Tang Ming's mission cannot be completed in time, then it will simply be missed!

Even if China can wait, the heroes and martyrs who are buried in South Korea cannot wait a moment longer!

Although the Chinese have a long-standing tradition of returning to one's roots, the idea of ​​returning to one's ancestral home is equally deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

The fact that there were no conditions to bring all these comrades back during the war has always been a source of pain for the few remaining veteran leaders in China!

"Speaking of which, your opportunity has come!" The headquarters commander said solemnly, "If you were still in the Southeast Military Region, it would be really difficult for me to take you there."

"Thank you for your high regard, sir! I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

"Guarantee the mission's completion?" The headquarters commander chuckled dryly. "Don't make such a bold claim!"

Now it was Tang Ming's turn to be puzzled.

"Although we have finished discussing the general matters with South Korea, we still need to meet with them in person to discuss some details. We cannot rule out the possibility that South Korea might use underhanded tactics to sabotage our operation!"

The head of headquarters sighed: "As you probably know, there is opposition in South Korea, but the voice of support in China is very strong. There's no doubt that some treacherous villains will try to sabotage us with underhanded tactics!"

After the headquarters leader's reminder, Tang Ming quickly understood!

While South Korea has outwardly agreed to China's request, the possibility of them secretly making things difficult for China cannot be ruled out.

"Furthermore, you should know that since the founding war, South Korea has maintained a very close relationship with the United States. In recent years, the United States has even stationed troops directly in the South Korean capital. They might try to sabotage our operation!"

Tang Ming also became serious!

The relationship between the United States and China has never been harmonious; they have been competitors for many years!

Moreover, the main opponent in China's founding war was the United States. Now that China is bringing these true heroes back home, how could they be happy?
