Chapter 205 Necessary Sacrifice
Lin Wenfang's actions can be said to show a high degree of sincerity.He didn't interfere directly with their liaison, even though they had acquiesced to it.And in this case, his dismissal will not leave any behind.Because that's totally unnecessary.

Henkel installed the client on the computer and quickly contacted several comrades.As this simple software spread among them, simple but tenacious connections were formed.Henkel explained the current situation to everyone, explained the safe contact method Lin Wenfang provided for them, and then quietly waited for everyone's opinions and suggestions.Since the conversation of this small software is carried out in a single-line manner, the so-called multi-party call also allows everyone to listen to what Heinkel said in turn, and only one person can listen to it at the same time.It seems that the efficiency is indeed not high, but the security is guaranteed, at least, it is much more reliable than their previous contact method.

"Are you sure that Lin Wenfang didn't monitor our conversation? Why?" The questioner was Lieutenant Colonel Tallinn, chief of the intelligence section of the Sorensen Garrison in the south of Moya.He is used to questioning any decision of others, and he is used to running conspiracy theories into his words, deeds and thinking.He didn't really believe that Lin Wenfang would be so kind.

Henkel said nonchalantly: "Why does he have to keep an eye on us at all times? Our plan... of course is to rely on Lin Wenfang and the others to go to the Federation, get a good placement, and ensure our safety. But he didn't We don't need us... I believe that if it wasn't for the mission, he would have wished to avoid our troubles. His current age and status are enough, no matter how ambitious he is, this life is enough for him to manage. "

Tallinn did not raise further doubts.After listening to Henkel's explanation, most people only expressed that they can make the next arrangement and push things forward.This advancement naturally includes disclosing the identities of some people to Lin Wenfang first, so that he can make targeted preparations. At the same time, he will also inform the approximate number of people and some of their plans, so that the two parties can coordinate and work together. Make an evacuation plan.Henkel is not the most prominent among these like-minded people, but it is not convenient for the most prominent guy to show up now, so Henkel can only come forward to mediate.The pressure on him can be imagined.

However, after Henkel figured out some problems, he was also a little relieved.The situation is nothing more than that he needs to connect their plans with the preparations Lin Wenfang will make later. He feels that Lin Wenfang is very reliable in doing things, and he can still give him great trust. The problem may arise in His side.If any of them hesitated, wavered, or even defected, the situation would be out of hand.Henkel thought about it carefully, and finally he had no choice but to call a young officer who had already expressed his will and was admired by everyone.

Sakov, deputy commander of the Safon Garrison District, was taking a shower when his phone rang.Sakov is already a major general. Unlike Lin Wenfang's wartime appointment, his rank of major general is not compromised at all.Compared with Lin Wenfang, Sakov is only less than 5 years older.The promotion of the general level is indeed a huge hurdle.

Sakov is not considered to be a fellow traveler of General Heinkel and others, but he has grasped a little bit of the situation from the beginning, and subtly provided a lot of help to General Heinkel and others.He is alone, without any burden, but has a special determination and passion.

He put on a towel and walked out of the bathroom, waved his hand to let the orderly leave first, and then answered the phone:

"Greetings, General. I'm Sakov."

"Hello. Is it convenient to talk?"

"This is always a safe route. General, please order." Although he is already a general, only one rank behind Henkel, and they are not subordinate to each other, Sakov still expressed his respect for General Heinkel. Extreme respect.

"I want to talk to you about something, see...?" Henkel said bluntly.

"Is it the things I talked with you before?" Sakov said solemnly.

"Correct."

"I'm looking for a transport plane to Sertig, and I'll leave as soon as possible. I'll call you when I get there." Sakov said bluntly.

"Okay." Henkel sighed and said, "I'll be waiting for you in Sertig for three days. If you haven't come by then, I'll pretend that the previous and current conversations never happened."

Sakov didn't say anything, and hung up the phone silently.He didn't need words to express his determination to Heinkel, actions were enough.He would not keep General Heinkel waiting for three days.Henkel may not have taken the relationship between the two deeply, but just regarded him as a junior worthy of training, a reassuring soldier who can see the passion and vigor of his youth.But Sakov will never forget the relationship between Heinkel and him as both a teacher and a friend.Heinkel didn't even know that if it wasn't for his help, Sakov might have been framed and sent to prison a few years ago because of the mess left by his predecessor and he didn't notice it for a while.

At that time, Sakov had just shifted from an actual combat position to a military command and management position.His first such appointment was as staff officer in charge of battlefield logistics with a separate armored brigade stationed on the southern border.Before a military exercise, out of concern for Sakov, Heinkel took the initiative to send a batch of combat supplies to replace the original inventory.According to the data on the list, those stocks should be well preserved, but because the storage period is only two years away from the time limit, the packaging is slightly old.Sakov, who had just taken office, discovered that two-thirds of the original inventory had already disappeared when he was processing new materials into the warehouse.If General Heinkel's new supplies arrived two weeks late, he would have no idea why a good supply had disappeared.You know, Lieutenant General Heinkel didn't need to distribute this batch of ammunition and medicines. Arrived stock items marked with yellow status.He felt that the failure rate of old ammunition might be a bit high, and he was afraid that if a large or small failure occurred, it would make Sakov, a guy who was not familiar with this kind of business, look bad.He just took care of the younger generation without asking for anything in return, and just signed a few words.

After the exercise, Sakov calmly dealt with the "scrapping" and "destruction" of the old materials, and no one mentioned this matter again.In private, he took revenge on his ex who left him a mess.But Heinkel never knew what was going on in this matter.

Moya’s military courts seldom hold courts, and usually only those who have committed crimes and have no superiors, friends, teachers, or colleagues as guarantees, who are willing to clear up the relationship, or those who have to deal with serious incidents that cannot be covered up Only people can stand in court.In Moya's military court, the probability of a guilty verdict has been as high as 20% in the past 79 years, and the death penalty rate has been as high as 61%.If this matter is unfortunately caught, Sakov is likely to become 79% of the 61%...

After such an incident, Sakov's view of Heinkel changed a lot.Before, he thought that although Lieutenant General Heinkel was a respectable senior and an important figure in the army with his own specialties, he still felt that General Heinkel had hardly ever been in the field army, and he had worked all the way from low-level civilian jobs All the way up to now, it's not enough... Not strong enough.Heinkel may be the only civilian officer who has no experience in field troops to become a lieutenant general.However, realizing that the war preparation materials may actually come in various forms, and the danger inside may be as dangerous as the battlefield, his evaluation of Heinkel was several grades higher.Gradually, under his active contact, the relationship between him and General Heinkel has changed from a nodding acquaintance to a mutual life and death.

Early the next morning, Sakov went to Sertig and arrived at Lieutenant General Heinkel's office at 11:[-] noon.

"May I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?" Sakov said.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." Henkel said pleasantly: "I still have things to deal with. If you don't mind, let's order a takeaway, just here... And, I clean here regularly .”

Sakov nodded.Naturally, this sweeping refers not to cleaning, but to checking for bugs and cameras.Although General Heinkel mainly deals with complicated documents, the importance and confidentiality are high enough.Lieutenant General Heinkel has always done the cleaning work by himself, and this habit has been persisted for ten years.

Soon, the food was delivered.Although it is a takeaway, it is also the stuff of the famous restaurant of Sertig. Even the temperature is just right. Compared with eating in the restaurant, the difference in taste is limited.Lieutenant General Heinkel had something to discuss with Sakov, and Sakov is a general who has fought all the way from the battlefield, and he will not pay attention to some differences in taste.The two briefly chatted about seemingly unrelated topics. It was not until 20 minutes later that Sakov asked: "General, are you going to..."

"Well," Henkel nodded and said, "I'm ready to go."

"Then I will go back and activate the arrangements I implemented before... I hope it can help you."

"Sakov... what I want to tell you is that I would never allow you to make such a sacrifice if only for myself. You are a hero and should not take such a risk. This is not only about your life, it is about Your honor."

Sakov showed a sad smile: "After President Freud was assassinated in the re-election campaign, this country is getting farther and farther away from honor. I have too many brothers who died on this land, and I can't bear it." They, I cannot leave them. Otherwise, I should leave with you. But, now, let me do something for you. Me? Just a necessary sacrifice."

Sakov ignored Heinkel's surprised look and his eagerness to comfort him, and continued: "I don't know what will happen to you when you arrive in the Federation. One day in the future, will this country return to the freedom it used to be? Prosperity and passion, I don’t know if this change will be realized because of you, or because of anyone. Sometimes, I sincerely hope that I am a simple warrior who only needs to follow orders on the battlefield. But... I I was promoted and became a general, but I also saw the facts that I didn't want to see, I couldn't believe it. There are so many countries in the world, only us, we, Moya, have kept the simplest and most exciting soldier's oath: Freedom and glory! However, this country gradually has nothing to do with freedom. I hope you can find these things in other places. Names like traitors cannot restrain your hearts. What I betrayed is this government , this... government that has dictatorshiped the country for decades, not my military oath."
