The Amazing son in law Chapter 7881
After saying that, he stood up and said coldly, “The plane will take off in one hour. Mr. Watanabe can prepare to board.”
Having no other choice, Watanabe Goro stood up and slowly walked out of the conference room.
On the airport runway, the plane whose landing gear had been modified into a combination of tires and sleds was undergoing its final pre-flight checks, and the Japanese-dispatched surrender delegation was also preparing to board.
According to the plan, they will land directly on the ice sheet 50 kilometers away from the Japanese research station. In addition to carrying 20 people, the transport plane will also carry two unarmed snow vehicles for their use. So at this moment, the transport personnel are pushing the snow vehicles into the transport plane cabin and securing them with modular fixed base plates.
Goro Watanabe and his assistant went to the back of the plane and waited with the surrender team until the equipment was secured before boarding the plane.
At this moment, Kohei Kikuchi, who was traveling with Wu Bolin (Bick) to McMurdo Station, said to Wu Bolin (Bick), “Masato, we will arrive at McMurdo Station in the United States in three more hours.”
“Very good.” Wu Bolin (Bick) nodded slightly and instructed, “As long as we can get in smoothly, everything will be fine.”
…
The research team at McMurdo Station had already received a warning from the Pentagon and was aware of the Japanese research team’s defection.
Although they are unarmed personnel, they possess various cutting-edge technologies, so their radar systems operate at maximum power 24 hours a day, constantly on guard against everything around them.
When Wu Bolin (Bick)’s convoy was detected by their radar, they immediately became alert and radioed: “This is McMurdo Research Station. Approaching vehicles, please state your nationality, number of people, and purpose.”
Kohei Kikuchi was startled. They were still dozens of kilometers away, how could they have been detected? In the dead of winter, were their radars operating at full power?
He immediately reported to Wu Bolin (Bick): “Master, those Americans are asking us to reveal our identities and purpose. What do you think we should do?”
Wu Bolin (Bick) said calmly, “In the polar regions, what is the most common reason you give for contacting foreign scientific expedition members?”
Kohei Kikuchi said, “We need rescue, everyone in Antarctica is quite friendly.”
Wu Bolin (Bick) nodded: “OK, then let’s tell them we need rescue.”
Kohei Kikuchi immediately followed Wu Bolin (Bick)’s instructions and informed him that he was from a Japanese scientific expedition team and was seeking help from an American scientific expedition team because of insufficient vehicle supplies and vehicle malfunctions.
American researchers were on high alert. Why would a traitorous Japanese research team come to their territory?
So they immediately reported the news to the Pentagon.
…
Goro Watanabe and his men had all boarded the transport plane.
The conditions inside the transport plane were very basic. All that was available for everyone was a small folding stool along the edge. The entire interior consisted of modular transport tracks and fasteners, with the two snowmobiles secured in the very center of the cabin.
Just when everyone thought the plane was about to close its doors and prepare for takeoff, U.S. Air Force personnel rushed in, unlocked two snowmobiles from their tracks, and moved them outside the cabin.
Immediately afterwards, nearly one hundred heavily armed commandos boarded the plane.
Next, the two snowmobiles that had been pushed away were replaced with four all-terrain armored infantry vehicles.
The soldiers all had stern expressions and remained silent, which greatly surprised Watanabe Goro.
Just then, the former head of the US military base stepped forward.
Watanabe Goro quickly asked, “Commander, what exactly is going on?”
The U.S. military’s polar commander said with a grim expression, “We’re going to support Antarctica!”
Watanabe Goro exclaimed in surprise, “Weren’t we not going to send a single soldier?!”
