Chapter 1137 - Appearance in Moscow

Moscow in early April, at five o’clock in the morning. The entire city was like a lethargic and sickly tiger still deep in slumber.A veil of milky white light appeared on the corner of the sky to signal the arrival of dawn.

Oqinsha Military Airport was located on the western outskirts of Moscow and solemnly awaited a military aircraft arriving from the Huaxia Empire.

Korchagin, a senior Russian official was present to welcome them.

“Minister Korchagin, why is the Huaxia Imperial Special Forces arriving so early this time?” Korchagin’s female secretary, Natasha, covered her mouth and yawned. “The competition won’t begin for another two weeks,” she said in confusion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When that day came, the opening ceremony for the Annual Warrior Competition would be held in Katyusha Park, located on the outskirts of Moscow.

It was a bit early for them to arrive right now.

Other countries were probably still forming their teams at the moment...

Since the leader of the Huaxia Imperial team was the highly acclaimed and crowd favorite Major General Huo Shaoheng, the Russian government provided a very high-level reception to greet them.

They woke up at three in the morning in order to wait for the incoming flight and personally came there to greet the military aircraft arriving from the Huaxia Empire.

Korchagin glanced at his watch while replying expressionlessly, “Comrade Natasha, I’ll have no choice but to dismiss you if you complain again.”

Natasha was scared silly, completely waking up from her grogginess and not daring to utter another word.

After waiting another half an hour, the sound of rustling footsteps appeared behind them.

Natasha turned around and was stunned by the sight. She quickly poked the back of senior official Korchagin and said, “Minister, the Prime Minister is here.”

Korchagin turned around in shock when he saw their Prime Minister Gerald striding over.

“Minister Korchagin, you arrived so early.” Prime Minister Gerald of Russia was a tall and strapping man, yet he possessed a very gentle personality.

“Mr. Prime Minister, why are you here?” Korchagin quickly reached out to shake his hand with a smile, saying, “I was certainly going to report to you after I welcomed the Huaxia Imperial visitors.”

“That’s no problem. The President requested for me to greet his old friend.” Prime Minister Gerald chuckled as he said, “After all, the Major General from the Huaxia Empire is basically a fellow alumnus of our President.”

The current President of Russia was a famous and fearsome KGB warrior in his younger years, so it was no wonder that he especially favored Huo Shaoheng, who also started out in the special forces’ battlefront.

Korchagin didn’t dare to take the Huaxia Imperial Major General lightly when he learned that even the President was paying special attention to him.

He nodded with a sigh and replied humbly, “I met him briefly during the Annual Warrior Competition in Jordan many years ago. At the time, he had just graduated from training with Mossad of Israel, and when he made his first appearance, he was able to win first place in all the individual events, much to everyone’s surprise. However, he disappeared without a trace afterward.”

“At the time, our President said that that man could not possibly be a normal soldier.” Prime Minister Gerald smiled brightly. “I also told the President that since Huo Shaoheng was such a handsome special forces soldier, he only needed to wear his military uniform, even if he wasn’t physically capable at all. I bet all the female enemy soldiers would automatically kneel down to him as soon as he appeared, hahahaha...”

Gerald thought he was being humorous, but Korchagin, the senior official, came from a military background, and his face flushed with anger.

It was an absolute insult to use an internet celebrity tone to ridicule soldiers who battled using their flesh and blood!

Korchagin turned around, ignoring the amicable looking Prime Minister and casting his gaze towards the hint of dawn appearing on the horizon.

At that moment, a large military aircraft with five large red stars emblazoned on its side was already hurtling towards them at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

The rumble of engines instantly filled the airspace over the military airport.

Prime Minister Gerald frowned almost imperceptibly.

But when the aircraft steadily landed on the military tarmac and the cabin doors opened, the friendliest smile had appeared on Gerald’s face. He walked in front of Korchagin.

Huo Shaoheng’s tall and strapping body emerged from the cabin door. He wore a military cap sitting low on his head, yet it was unable to conceal his handsome aura.

He was a dominating presence when he donned his olive green, thin fleece general officer’s uniform. The weapon belt on his waist was secured tightly, accentuating his broad shoulders, slim waist, and unbelievably long legs.

Looking up slightly, he revealed his handsome face. It was enough to make the dawn of early summer pale in comparison. His masculine warmth was hot-blooded, yet cruel, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

All the female Russian soldiers who had arrived at the airport to greet the visitors couldn’t help but exclaim.

Standing beside Korchagin was his female secretary, Natasha. She already shook off all traces of sleepiness and took the beret off her head as she happily waved it at Huo Shaoheng. She even put her other hand in her mouth and began to whistle shrilly.

Korchagin jerked his head around in anger as he glared at Natasha and said, “Shut up!”

Natasha quickly put her beret back on, a solemn expression instantly appearing on her round and chubby face. “...Minister, I am welcoming our friend... Our comrade from a distant land.”

“Hmph!” Korchagin turned around in a huff to see that Prime Minister Gerald had already walked over, so he quickly strode after the other man.

Huo Shaoheng descended from the steps and shook hands with the Russian Prime Minister Gerald with a smile. He greeted them in fluent Russian, saying, “I didn’t expect Mr. Prime Minister to grace us with his presence. This is my great honor.”

“You’re too kind, you’re too kind! Major General Huo truly creates an exceptional reaction as soon as he appears...” The Russian Prime Minister Gerald laughed heartily, then smoothly grabbed Huo Shaoheng as he positioned his body into a pose to allow the reporters to take photos.

Gerald had a rather fat face, so he slyly took a step back and pushed Huo Shaoheng closer to the camera.

After the photos were taken, he happily asked the reporters to show them to him. To his dismay, he discovered that his face was two thirds larger even if he stood behind Huo Shaoheng...

Korchagin peered over, unable to wipe the smile from his face. He took Huo Shaoheng’s other hand to give it a shake. “Major General Huo, I’ve heard so much about you! What a pleasure to meet you!” he said.

Huo Shaoheng replied politely in Russian, “Minister Korchagin, you were the military expert I admired in my youth.”

“Oh? Wow! Hahahaha....”

The saying goes that flattery could get you anywhere.

This held true whether it was in ancient times or modern times, in the Huaxia Empire or beyond.

Korchagin’s heart exploded with happiness from Huo Shaoheng’s words, so he immediately saw him as a good friend and didn’t bother hiding his affection.

At that moment, the special forces soldiers Huo Shaoheng brought for the competition also stepped out of the plane.

They automatically lined up behind Huo Shaoheng, one by one. They formed a straight line from any angle.

With their heads held high, their dominating aura was immediately apparent.

They all had the same long legs and handsome faces, yet were completely different from the pretty boy actors who solely depended on their faces.

Korchagin and Gerald were both stunned.

They looked at the Huaxia Imperial soldiers. They were then very unhappy to see their own domestic soldiers who were either fat or short.

Korchagin even used his elbow to poke Huo Shaoheng and whispered, “Major General Huo, did you make a mistake? We are holding the Annual Warrior Competition, not a guard of honor competition. Are you going to perform Katyusha again and make our special forces soldiers look like dwarves and orcs?”

Pfftt–!

Korchagin’s female secretary, Natasha, stood beside him and stifled her laughter.

Korchagin was feeling very resentful about the military parade in the Grand Plaza last year.

The long-legged guard of honor from the Huaxia Empire sang “Katyusha” during evening practice and instantly made the other countries’ guards of honor look like nothing.

As for the original video that was still widely circulated online, the internet had labeled the Huaxia Imperial guard of honor as the elves who were participating alongside orcs and dwarves...

Huo Shaoheng looked at his soldiers without offering an opinion. He replied in an even tone, “Unfortunately, I already removed the soldiers who were too good looking.”

Korchagin thought, Oh my God! He does whatever he wants because he is too handsome!

...An invisible presence is the deadliest! Mr. President misjudged him... Gerald thought to himself.

The female secretary Natasha quickly diffused the situation, saying, “Please come this way, Major General Huo. I prepared accommodation for you near Katyusha Park on the outskirts of Moscow.”

Korchagin composed himself and erased away the resentment in his heart. He walked alongside Huo Shaoheng and said, “...We have a recently renovated military camp there. You arrived early, so you get to pick the best place to camp.”

Huo Shaoheng nodded as he said, “Thank you, Minister. But I do have one request that I’m hoping you will agree to.”

“Of course, of course!” Korchagin’s female secretary, Natasha, was entranced by Huo Shaoheng, so she quickly replied before Korchagin could even say anything.

Korchagin glared at her, then repeated the same words to Huo Shaoheng, “Of course, of course!”

Prime Minister Gerald, “...”

They acted like he wasn’t there!

Huo Shaoheng smiled at Natasha.

She suddenly felt like she didn’t have enough blood circulating in her body, and her heart nearly stopped.

“Thank you, Comrade Natasha.” Huo Shaoheng replied politely.

“You even know my name?!” Natasha was pleasantly surprised, her impression of Huo Shaoheng improving even more.

“Minister Korchagin is someone I admire, and Minister Korchagin’s secretary is not just anybody.” Huo Shaoheng refused to underestimate anyone there.

Although Russia hadn’t made any big waves in recent years, their military strength and intelligence agency was still considered top ranking on Blue Planet.

Huo Shaoheng was much more focused on Russia than he was Ukraine.

His statement flattered Natasha while also complimenting Korchagin.

Then he turned around to look at Prime Minister Gerald and smiled subtly, saying, “It would be even better if the Prime Minister could grant me this favor.”

“No problem, no problem. The President tasked me with satisfying any of Major General Huo’s requests.” Gerald immediately agreed when he saw Huo Shaoheng’s smile and nearly patted his chest to make a guarantee.

Huo Shaoheng nodded. He followed them into the private vehicle before continuing to say, “Because we arrived too early and came a whole week before the competition, I am worried that my soldiers’ fighting spirit will slack. Because of this, I must give them completely enclosed training over the next two weeks. I hope the camp you’ve arranged can satisfy this request.”

Completely enclosed military training was considered complete isolation.

Those inside the camp were completely cut off from all outside interactions.

The people outside would absolutely not trespass into a completely enclosed training ground.

As soon as the sign for enclosed military training ground was installed, the area would become a restricted military zone.
