Iron blood phoenix of Nuwa's army

Chapter 40
In country C, there is such a legend: whoever gets this relic will win the world.It was originally a Buddhist treasure, but later it became the "Jade Seal of the Nation" that various armed groups in country C scrambled for.In the end, false rumors were passed on, forming a weird tradition later: in country C, if one wants to be in power, one must have this Mutuo relic, otherwise the reputation will be dishonorable.

In the war room of the headquarters, people sat around the large oval conference table. Hu Zhen, Long Wei, and all members of the second group were all present. At the same time, Li Bo, the director of a powerful unit, was sitting next to him. It is the investigator of the department and the only survivor of this incident, investigator Yang Shaokang.

Yang Shaokang's head was wrapped with thick gauze, his face was haggard, and his eyes looked a little dull.The days of adventures and the pain of the sacrifice of his comrades put the young man under tremendous mental pressure.

At this time, all eyes were focused on the big screen, and the photo displayed on the screen was a "stone", which was in the shape of a wonderful lotus flower, and its whole body was crimson, shining brightly.

"Everyone is here, let's start." Hu Zhen scanned the audience with a stern expression, and then set his eyes on Director Li Bo's face, "Old Li, please introduce the specific situation to everyone."

"Okay." Li Bo stood up, walked to the computer connected to the screen, pointed to the "stone" on the big screen and said, "Before introducing the whole case, I still want to introduce the details on the big screen to you. This treasure. Please see, the object shown in the photo is not a gemstone, but a Buddhist treasure that is thousands of times more precious than a gemstone—the relic. You should be familiar with this term. It is simple. It is said that relics are the crystals left after the body and bones of eminent monks passed away and cremated. Relics have the supreme status among Buddhist holy objects, and believers have always held the saying that offering relics means worshiping the true Buddha.

"The relic we saw in the photo is a real treasure. It is shaped like a lotus flower, red all over, and crystal clear. It can be called a high-quality relic. Its origin has a lot to do with China. : According to legend, during the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the history of our country, there was an eminent monk from ancient India named Mu Tuo. Emperor Xiaowen declared his intention to build a temple for him in Province H of our country in order to show his meritorious deeds and respect his Dharma. Host. He translated Buddhist scriptures, converted believers, and disseminated Buddhist teachings in the monastery, and made great contributions to the initial establishment and development of Chinese Buddhist culture.

"In his later years, Mu Tuo often told his disciples that after his death, there must be relics. He asked his disciples to remember that if there are relics of sapphire blue and red, they must be sent back to Tianzhu and enshrined in his monkhood. After Mu Tuo passed away, he was cremated in the temple, and his disciples found a total of 36 relics from his remains, of which [-] were smaller, and there were six relics shaped like lotus flowers with different colors , became a great view of Buddhism and shocked the world. After the relics were taken out, all the disciples enshrined [-] smaller relics in various temples according to Mutuo's last wish, and four of the six precious relics were separately It is enshrined in the royal temple and the temple presided over by Mu Tuo. The other royal blue and red relics were sent by the special envoy sent by Emperor Xiaowen to the place where Mu Tuo became a monk in the past, in the Daguang Temple of Kapilavatthu in ancient India. At that time, to be on the safe side, Emperor Xiaowen sent a total of two special envoys, each with a pair of escorts and two relics.

"One year later, one of the envoys arrived at the Daguangming Temple and handed over the sapphire blue relic to the temple. This relic has been enshrined in the Daguangming Temple for nearly a thousand years. Although it has been through several wars, it is still intact. It is still enshrined in the country Y. In a certain large monastery, another team escorting the red relic suddenly disappeared halfway. Since then, this team of people and the mysterious red relic have disappeared without a trace for thousands of years.

"Until 1967, two mountaineering enthusiasts from country C encountered an avalanche while climbing a snow mountain in the northern border area of ​​country C. After surviving, the two found a team frozen in ice at the bottom of the collapsed snow cliff valley. The remains of ancient Chinese people and horses. This discovery not only confirmed the legend that Emperor Xiaowen sent an envoy to escort the relic back to ancient Tianzhu, but also the crimson Mutuo relic that had been missing for nearly 500 years also reappeared in the world. This relic Obtained by the government of country C at that time, it has always been regarded as the treasure of the town and stored in the national treasure house. But since then, this relic has begun its difficult journey. From 1967 to the present for more than 40 years, With the continuous turmoil in country C, it disappeared many times, reappeared many times, and changed hands several times.

"Coincidentally, every time this relic appears in the hands of a certain organization, this organization will have a short chance to take charge of the state power, and every time this organization is overthrown, it is with this relic Therefore, in country C, there is such a legend: whoever gets this relic will win the world. It was originally a treasure of Buddhism, but later it became a dispute among various armed groups in country C. The "Jade Seal of Chuanguo" that was snatched by each other. In the end, the rumors were passed on, forming a weird tradition later: In country C, if you want to be in power, you must have this Mutuo relic, otherwise it will be unfair.

"The last time this red Mutuo relic was missing was six years ago. The Raytheon Party of country C that was in power at that time lost it, and then it became the target of public criticism. The people of country C, who had already had enough of the organization's brutal and authoritarian rule, took advantage of the situation and rose up. It was overthrown in one fell swoop. Since then, country C has established a socialist state system of peaceful and democratic dictatorship of the proletariat, and the society has stabilized accordingly.

"Just as the political rumor of 'the one who wins the relic wins the world' is gradually shattered with the stable development of the socialist country in country C, last summer, this crimson Mutuo relic appeared again in the underground auction market of country Y in Southeast Asia The news spread, and the whole country of C was shocked. Countless underground armed organizations were ready to move again, intending to obtain this relic, continue the political rumors, and destroy the existing national system of C. Under this background, the government of C To maintain the stability of the country, I tried my best to buy back this relic, and considering that the government of my country has just been established and domestic turmoil occurs from time to time, once this relic is lost again, the world will be in chaos and cause great trouble to the government. The current military strength of the government of country C is still unable to deal with large-scale armed riots, not to mention that such riots are often mixed with the secret support of some international forces with ulterior motives...

"Under this circumstance, after urgent consultations with the relevant personnel of the government of country C, it was finally decided to donate this relic back to China and enshrine it in the Chinese temple where Mu Tuo practiced. In this way, the safety of the relic can be guaranteed. It is safe and can maintain national stability. After research, our government believes that this move by the government of country C is indeed conducive to maintaining its national stability. The government's proposal..."

Li Bo paused for a while after speaking.In the venue, all the people present were fascinated by what they heard. They never expected that such a sacred relic of Buddhism would lead to such a big political storm by accident.

Li Bo looked at everyone and continued to introduce the situation, but this time his tone suddenly became lower: "After the Chinese government decided to accept the relic donated by country C, country C decided not to make the donation ceremony public in order to ensure the safety of the relic. Our country sent a special person to country C to secretly transport the relics back to China. We will make an announcement after everything is stable. On the 17th of this month, that is, a week ago, our department received instructions from our superiors to undertake the secret transport of the Mutuo relics back to China. Domestic tasks. Considering the huge risks of this trip, we also specifically applied to our superiors and asked the Special Operations Division to cooperate with us in this operation. The Special Operations Division sent two comrades, Feng Zheng and Luo Haibo, to travel with our five investigators. We went to country C, but unexpectedly, on the way back home by helicopter, we were attacked by individual surface-to-air missiles from unknown armed personnel. The helicopter crashed in the jungle in the north of country C. Comrades Feng Zheng, Luo Haibo and us The four investigators died on the spot. Comrade Yang Shaokang was wounded in the head, and the militants who launched the attack mistakenly thought he was dead, so he survived. The red Mutuo relic also fell into the enemy's hands."

Li Bo introduced the whole process, and put the satellite map of the accident area on the big screen.It is a jungle area hidden in the deep mountains. The south is connected to the southern plains that account for most of the country C, the west is mountainous and hilly, and the east and north border each other. Mountains... There are no cities in the entire area, not even large villages and towns. There are only some small villages scattered among the jungles, which only show a small spot like a small area on the map.

"Director Li, have you confirmed the identity of the attacker?" Long Wei looked away from the map and looked at Li Bo.

"It's not completely sure yet." Li Bo said seriously, "We have communicated with the relevant departments of country C and confirmed that that area has always been a blind area controlled by the government. Between the small villages scattered in the jungle, there are With a large number of large and small anti-government armed forces and gangster organizations, it is not easy for the government of country C to maintain the stability of the southern plains, and there is no time to take into account the military control of the northern region."

"Then why did our people choose that dangerous route?" At this moment, Shen Meng raised her own question.

Li Bo said: "There is no direct flight to China in country C. The plane has to go to China and has to transit in a third country. After all, relics are Buddhist treasures. We also want to avoid unnecessary trouble. Another reason is that, according The government department of country C said that although there are mixed fish and dragons in that jungle area, it is impossible for those anti-government armed forces to have advanced weapons and equipment such as individual missiles in their hands, but they didn't expect to be afraid of anything."

"And according to our judgment, these people are probably targeting the relics specifically!" Hu Zhen said from the side, "Xiao Yang, please tell everyone about the situation at that time."

"Okay..." Yang Shaokang nodded, and said with lingering fear, "At that time, after we got the relic from the security department of country C, we directly boarded the helicopter. When the plane arrived at the accident site, the flight altitude At about 3000 meters, we were suddenly attacked by the opponent’s missile. At that time, I remembered that the enemy fired a missile first, but it didn’t hit us. Later, he fired several consecutive shots. The last shot hit the tail of the helicopter, and then the tail The propellers were damaged, and after we held on for more than ten seconds, we fell... Since there were bushes below, our plane was severely damaged, but there was no explosion. They quickly surrounded them, and there were more than 100 people. I At that time, my head was injured and my whole body was covered with blood. When they walked past me, they thought I was dead, so they went straight to the wreckage of the helicopter. Finally, one person found the box containing the relics from the wreckage. They cheered together, a very short Evacuated in time..."

"Xiao Yang, I have a few questions." Long Wei looked at Yang Shaokang and said, "The first question is, you said that our helicopter was flying at an altitude of 3000 meters. Are you sure about that?"

"Yes." Yang Shaokang said, "My colleague Wang Shuang was flying the plane at the time. We were all carrying intercoms. When the plane reached 3000 meters, he said something. attack."

"My second question is, how long did it take for the enemy to gather after your helicopter crashed?" Long Wei continued to ask.

"About half an hour." Yang Shaokang thought for a while and said, "I passed out the moment the plane crashed, but I checked my watch before the crash, it was 5:15 in the morning, and about 58 minutes later We were attacked. When I woke up, they had already arrived. They went straight to the wreckage of our helicopter and searched for about [-] minutes in a mess. After finding the relics, they dispersed. I checked my watch, it was [-]:[-]."

"What model is the helicopter, and who provided it?" Long Wei asked again, "Have we checked that helicopter ourselves before taking off?"

"It's a small Skylark SA316 helicopter, which was provided by the military of country C." Yang Shaokang said, "Because of time constraints, and the helicopter was provided by the military of country C, the aircraft is almost brand new, so we directly Take off."

Long Wei nodded and frowned.

"Long Wei, what do you think?" Hu Zhen asked, looking at Long Wei's puzzled expression.

Long Wei thought for a while, and said: "I guess, this should be a premeditated attack. Think about it, everyone, a small helicopter with a length of no more than 12 meters has very little visibility at an altitude of 3000 meters." Yes. I read the information just now. The enemy used to attack helicopters is a personal weapon that imitates the American-made Stinger missile. The performance of this weapon is very average, far inferior to the real Stinger missile. Helicopters and fighter jets are used as deterrent weapons flying too low, and it is a miracle to be able to shoot down a helicopter at such a high altitude, or the enemy is targeting it!"

"Director, are you saying that there is something wrong with that helicopter?" Shen Meng looked at Long Wei in surprise.

"Yes!" Long Wei nodded affirmatively, "If the helicopter has a positioning system that can be tracked by the enemy, it will be much easier! We can also see this from the situation after the plane crashed. Xiao Yang said that the tail of the helicopter After being damaged, the plane continued to fly for more than ten seconds until the tail rotor failed, and then fell in a circle. The jungle is dense, and it is difficult to find a crashed helicopter on foot in such a vast area. It only took half an hour from the crash of the helicopter to being found by the enemy. If the enemy was not very lucky , there can only be one explanation, that plane is always under surveillance by the enemy, and there must be something similar to a satellite locator hidden in the plane!"

"It makes sense!" Hu Zhen nodded and said, "I will report this matter to the headquarters immediately, and ask them to contact the relevant departments of country C to find out this matter as soon as possible! The relic has fallen into the enemy's hands. It may bring catastrophe to country C!"

"Director Hu, I'm not busy." Long Wei said quickly, "In my opinion, it's safe for us to investigate this matter ourselves. In case there are enemy undercover agents in the military of country C, such an investigation might scare the snake away. .”

Hu Zhen thought for a while and said, "That's fine. We just want to send people to country C to investigate the plane crash and deal with the funeral of our personnel. At that time, we will listen to the report from the military department of country C. You can intervene." Go in and take the opportunity to investigate as an accident investigator. But... have you thought about who you want?"

Long Wei smiled and said: "The candidate is ready-made! Qin Yun is an old investigator, and he is an expert in front of a series of spy tools, such as satellite positioning devices. Plus Shen Meng, she is more careful , and be cautious in doing things, it's the most suitable for two people to go over."

"Well, I think it's okay!" Hu Zhen said with a smile, "Shen Meng, Qin Yun, do you two have any objections?"

"We are determined to complete the task!" Shen Meng and Qin Yun stood up together.

"Okay, I'll go and coordinate with our relevant departments, and you are ready to go at any time!" Hu Zhen got up.
