"Team A and Team B lost communication. Team C and Sergeant Miller confirmed dead."
Inside the consulate office with the report coming in from the phone, Zhang Youjie’s finger trembled.
Five lives, 20 something people captured. The supposedly-flawless mission ended in an overwhelming defeat.
Not to mention, it was the most severe loss suffered by the CIB.
The other side of the phone fell silent. Li Zhongping, who was still in Hucheng, waited for an order.
"Is it the work of the General Staff Department?"
"Should be," Li Zhongping responded in a low voice.
With a deep breath, Zhang Youjie deliberated before he ordered, "… Mission aborted, retreat."
Although it was unfortunate, the mission did fail already. Without surprise, the UA embassy in Shangjing would receive a letter from the Han Congress, then the UA will be denounced by Hua in a news conference.
