147: Chapter 147 Protecting the Great Xia for a Lifetime

All the wildmen of the Wildman Tribe were captured alive.

And those corpses were also all found.

In addition, there were some soldiers from various countries who had been hiding in the shadows, unable to escape but still alive.

Most of them were lost and dared not venture out, as the Wildman Tribe's hunting ability was too strong.

When the troops from the Island Nation in the Water found them, many had fainted.

All the Special Forces were rescued.

The generals of countries Y, R, and H discovered that the soldiers of their own nations... not a single one survived.

The corpses, with nothing left but bones and a little flesh, could not be identified by race with the naked eye; they would have to be taken back for laboratory analysis.

In this Carlos Competition, countries R, H, and Y suffered a crushing defeat.

Since all the contestants were either dead or missing, it meant that any results obtained in the first four rounds were void.

"Damn it!"

Major General Yamamoto was incredibly furious; looking at him, it was as if he wanted to commit seppuku.

"Unbelievable, this is simply a situation that could never happen to my great Sacred Emperor's warriors."

"Unbelievable."

Major General Yamamoto was extremely angry, while Major General Jin of country H had red eyes; he didn't yell or scream. His expression said everything.

Gao Shiwei's expression was indifferent; he did not show any signs of great happiness. Although Great Xia had taken first place... many contestants had died tragically in the fifth assessment.

It would be inappropriate for him to smile now.

Major General Mars was incredibly remorseful and ashamed, bowing to the generals of various countries, "Everyone, it is my fault. I should not have chosen South Sentinel Island as the location for the assessment."

"It was my fault for making the assessment so difficult, leading to the death and entrapment of so many people."

"I did not thoroughly investigate South Sentinel Island beforehand; as one of the organizers, I bear great responsibility."

Major General Mars was very serious, but none of the generals from the other countries bought it.

Major General Mars apologized first, but still followed the procedure and completed the Carlos Competition award ceremony.

The first place, naturally, went to Great Xia...

Yang Han went up to receive the award.

The second place went to Biao Country; it was a barren nation, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn't even be in the top five. As it turned out, thanks to the wildmen this time, they took second place, breaking their historical record.

The third place went to a small country of a few million people... under normal circumstances, they wouldn't even make the top ten.

Yang Han stood on the stage, enjoying the complex gazes of everyone, especially Major General Yamamoto and Major General Jin, who were filled with suspicion towards Yang Han.

Entering South Sentinel Island, could it be that it was definitely the wildmen who killed the soldiers of their nations?

It was highly likely that the people of Great Xia had done it!

After all, there had been long-standing grievances between these countries.

But there was no evidence... and no one dared to speak recklessly.

Gao Shiwei walked up to Major General Mars, "Since the proceedings are over, I don't think there is any need for us to remain here."

Major General Mars had a bitter expression, "I am sorry, Lieutenant General Gao. We did not do well this time."

"It's nothing. You don't need to deal with me, as the soldiers of Great Xia are unscathed. You should go and negotiate more with them." Gao Shiwei pointed at Major General Yamamoto and Major General Jin.

Major General Mars nodded helplessly: "I understand, Lieutenant General Gao. I will not disturb you any further; I still have many things to deal with."

"Alright, goodbye."

Gao Shiwei smiled and took Yang Han and the others to Great Xia's private plane.

At the same time, they would also return to the Southeast Military Region with the news of winning the Carlos Competition championship!

At the Southeast Military Region, during a general military meeting, an old man with the rank of General smiled and said: "Old Gao brought back the news that this time in the Carlos Competition, our Great Xia is the champion, and an overwhelming champion at that."

"As the highest-level competition for Special Forces in Asia, the Carlos Competition carries significant weight."

"We achieved the championship, breaking Great Xia's historical record. The Supreme General Military Department has already sent a congratulatory message."

The old General smiled and said: "We should also hold a banquet to welcome Old Gao and those heroes who won first place in the Carlos Competition for Great Xia."

"I agree."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

At the Southeast General Military Headquarters meeting, the lowest rank seated was Major General.

At the Southeast Military Region, on a certain tarmac.

An old man with the rank of General stood at the very front waiting, with many Major Generals behind him.

This old General was named Chen Peilou, whose rank was a few degrees higher than Gao Shiwei's, and he was the true person in charge of the Southeast Military Region. However, he usually attended various matters, and minor issues were generally not managed by him.

A huge helicopter landed on the tarmac. After the cabin door opened, Gao Shiwei's face was revealed, and behind him on his left was Yang Han.

Chen Peilou immediately said loudly: "Southeast Military Region, salute the heroes!"

Clap, clap, clap... clap, clap, clap...

The sound of applause was like firecrackers, deafening.

This time, not only Major Generals came to welcome them, but even Senior Colonels and Colonels like He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei had come.

There were fully a hundred people; the scale was very grand.

He Chenguang, Xiang Yu, and the others were shocked; they hadn't expected the scale of the welcome to be so grand.

Gao Shiwei led Yang Han and the others off the cabin. At the same time, he was no longer in the main position, giving the main position to Yang Han.

"Come on, hero. Enjoy the applause of these old men." Gao Shiwei smiled.

Yang Han was flattered. These were all generals applauding him; it was truly overwhelming. The envy on the faces of Xiang Yu, He Chenguang, and the others behind him was clearly etched; what an honor this was!

They would probably never reach this in their lifetime!

The key was that they couldn't even be jealous of Yang Han, because he was their savior; there was no reason to be jealous of one's savior.

"Old Gao."

"Is this Yang Han?"

Chen Peilou smiled and spoke.

Gao Shiwei nodded: "That's right, it's him. This time Great Xia could win the championship... he accounted for fifty percent of the effort."

Many generals were shocked to hear this; with such a large contribution, was there any suspicion of exaggeration?

Of course, when Xiang Yu, He Chenguang, and the others heard this, they felt it was actually an understatement...

If they were to grade it, Yang Han accounted for at least eighty percent of the credit!

"Dear heroes, we have prepared a banquet for you."

"This time it wasn't something I organized on my own; the Supreme General Military Department also approved it. We are going to properly welcome the heroes of the Carlos Competition."

Chen Peilou smiled.

The moment Song Kaifei saw Chen Peilou, his whole body trembled. Oh my god, this is a General... he actually came in person to welcome them.

And he even spoke to Yang Han personally!

Chen Peilou looked at Yang Han and said solemnly: "Regarding the extremely excellent performance of Comrade Yang Han in this Carlos Competition, the Supreme General Military Department has approved it; we are going to promote your rank to Lieutenant Colonel."

Lieutenant Colonel!

Yang Han had only been a Major for a short while, and he was actually going to be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel!

This was earth-shattering news. He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei in the crowd were dumbfounded; this was like taking a rocket!

...

At the banquet.

Chen Peilou, Gao Shiwei, and Yang Han, Dragon Blade, Beast Battalion, and others all sat at one table.

Because they were considered heroes who had won the Carlos Competition championship.

However, it is worth mentioning that Yang Han was personally pulled by Chen Peilou to sit by his side.

And on his other side was Gao Shiwei.

What kind of importance was this!

Chen Peilou raised his glass high and said with great emotion: "This time, I am breaking the rules to drink. Because I am happy."

"The Carlos Competition has always been a weak point for Great Xia; we have never won the championship... but this time, we have. How can I not be happy?"

"However, I cannot steal the words of today's protagonist."

"Yang Han, you come and give an acceptance speech."

Chen Peilou took the initiative to let Yang Han speak, showing him great importance.

Yang Han stood up and looked at the group of people at the table. At the banquet, they were all big shots from various sides; ordinary people would not have the chance to come up.

"I'm not good with words; I don't really know how to speak."

"Those opponents in the Carlos Competition were a bit of pressure for me."

"But, I did not retreat at all. Because I know that Great Xia desperately needs first place in the Carlos Competition to break others' perceptions of us!"

"And then I did it!"

"I want to let everyone in the world who looks down on Great Xia know that we, the soldiers of Great Xia, can do anything!"

"Break their stereotypes about us!"

Clatter, clatter, countless applause was given to Yang Han.

Finally, Yang Han added: "I believe that as long as we are united as one, there is no enemy we cannot defeat."

Yang Han's gaze looked into the distance; he knew that in that distance, there were still countless enemies waiting for him...

And he, relying on his own strength, would eventually guard Great Xia for a lifetime!
