A military camp on the outskirts of Bucharest, the capital of Romania, was on high alert, with the security level exceptionally raised to yellow.
This level of security clearance is equivalent to Huaxia's third-level combat readiness state, which not only requires strengthened defense work but also entails combat readiness mobilization at a certain level, halting of leaves, transfers, and retirents, military combat training, logistics, equipnt, and other levels of support, and in extre cases, even unsealing frontline defense positions...
In short, entering this state ans that the country's governnt military forces are ready to engage in a small-scale regional conflict at any ti.
anwhile, the Romanian governnt military deployed a complete battalion and took control of the deserted laboratory castle, waiting for experts from Huaxia and Russia.
When Suming arrived at the Presidential Palace with Zhao Yun, Ludmila, and a group of survivors, the Presidential staff listened in detail to the course of events, and the President was extrely shocked, especially after professional dical experts examined the sharkman Beck. The President imdiately realized the seriousness of the situation and issued a yellow alert order.
"Mr. Su, Miss Ludmila, the President personally inford your governnt's senior officials through a special line. Both countries have dispatched a special plane to pick up both of you and these survivors. Of course, the injured Mr. Beck will also go with you."
In a bomb-proof bunker within the military camp, guards were stationed every three steps and every five, with soldiers from different military units monitoring each other.
Speaking was a senior aide to the President of Romania, authorized by the President to be fully responsible for this incident.
"Please convey our thanks to the President," said Ludmila with a nod.
The aide nodded with a slight smile, looking at Suming.
Suming held Nangong Yan's hand and gently squeezed it, signaling her that there was no need to be too nervous, then after considering for about a dozen seconds, he spoke to the aide: "Thank you for your country's assistance. After returning to my holand, I will definitely explain to my governnt the firm stance of Romania in this incident and the determination to combat terrorist activities."
Hearing Suming speak this way, the aide finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The President's anxiety and the grave attitude weren't solely because they discovered a huge and cruel secret research organization – the world has too many bad players, not to ntion groups like IS declaring states openly.
The key point was that this organization appeared in Romania; once the news leaked, it would severely impact Romania's economy, affecting investnts and tourism heavily.
And this incident directly involved two major powers in the world, Huaxia and Russia, both permanent mbers of the United Nations Security Council!
It was a hot potato indeed; if these two countries believed that the Romanian governnt was suspected of harboring a secret research organization, Romania would fall into a passive position on the world stage... Damn it, especially Russia, which has always wanted to ddle in Eastern Europe's affairs.
Another reason was that the secret organization was too horrifying. The remaining survivors, as well as the sharkman who was like a monster, were witnesses. It's imaginable how much shock this news would cause worldwide; the United Nations might even impose economic sanctions on Romania or directly deploy troops.
At this ti, the attitudes of the two permanent mber states beca very important.
So, a large part of the actions taken by His Excellency the President afterward was driven by considerations of political positioning; even the sharkman, with high research value, and the laboratory castle were readily relinquished.
"I think, Miss Ludmila must also agree with my thoughts," Suming said, looking at Ludmila, who was lost in thought.
Ludmila, with her rich experience in dealing with international affairs, was sowhat distracted by the sudden change. At first, she didn't realize it, but understanding dawned on her after what Suming said, and she quickly nodded: "Of course, I will include a detailed explanation of all this in the report submitted to Moran International."
Moran International is backed by the Russian Governnt; everyone knows this, but no one says it outright.
The aide, having received affirmatives from both parties, finally felt reassured and said to Suming: "That's very good. The President told that all gentlen and ladies present, due to the distress experienced on this trip to Romania, we deeply apologize. Once this matter is over, Romania welcos you to travel here, and if interested, you can certainly settle down here."
Speaking of 'settling down,' several won showed bitter expressions as if it was a national joke.
Suming, however, thought deeper – settling down, obtaining a green card, permanent residency, seed like a nice idea. Romania's taxes are low within the European Union, setting aside this incident, the place offers good benefits, a pleasant environnt, and climate, indeed a good place to settle down.
But now was not the ti to discuss that.
The next morning, two special planes from the east, escorted by fighter jets, conducted an aerial handover with the Romanian governnt military fighter jets at the border of Romanian airspace, then landed at the airport outside the military camp.
The survivors were all Russians, and the one who ca to pick up Ludmila was a general with a bearded face. The one to pick up Suming was a leader from Yangchuan City.
The official's rank wasn't high – a mid-level bureaucrat – but his background was significant, being from the provincial security bureau.
