Chapter 1720 Aftermath of Parry City's Incident -Part 2
"Well, what are we waiting for? Our lazy ass Interim Leader wants to be escorted back to Daimon. So, let us give him the best escort ever." General Grieves said as he received the coordinates to the underground facility. The Grey Bear Squad had also given Grieves a copy of the physical map they grabbed (again, not stole!) as well as video records of the basement to the best of their abilities.
Based on the information that Jin and the Grey Bear Squad had sent, Grieves believed that a fifty men strong team would be sufficient to not only remove the debris but also patrol and guard the underground facilities once Jin had been escorted back to Daimon.
The soldiers selected were elated that they were able to do something for their interim leader who had been hogging the spotlight this whole entire time. General Grieves also finally had something to do as he was given permission by General Ost to bring their 'tired' Jin back from Parry City.
It did not take long for the Daimon military to assemble a few jeeps, a truck filled with excavation equipment, and lastly the most important a 'luxurious' car filled with sufficient suspension to handle the roads of Parry City. (The car was in courtesy of Diamondz Corp) Initially, there were plans to use the helicarrier but 2LT Cloudie who had been working doubly hard to ferry Parry City citizens from the Northern portion of Daimon to the Southern Daimon declined the request to fetch Jin back.
"It's not safe if I do not have enough sleep. And now that I know Jin is still alive, I can sleep in peace too." 2LT Cloudie said and General Grieves understood and gave permission for him to skip it. Thus, in less than an hour, all the paperwork was in order and the Parry City Immigration (or what's left of it) approved the armed escort and allowed them to pass.
Even the soldiers themselves had never seen such a quick approval of documents, skipping all the necessary checks and scans for them to pass through. So, by the time they reached the underground facility, the observers from the Parry City Military could never imagine it was so close to Daimon borders. Should the Mecha Fire Dragons really had not been killed, the rampage it does would definitely have affected Daimon and the refugees they were currently holding.
And Air Force General Inus cursed since he knew that the particular place was a notorious place for gangs, which was why the security checks there were lax enough to let General Toba do his thing. Not to mention, gold and points were the easiest to get the gangs to work for General Toba as well.
But now that the place is vacant, Parry City Military believed it would be a good time to guard the place too since those 50 men would not stand a chance in patrolling the streets if the gangs started to return. Either that, those gang members had yet to move away, hiding and waiting for their chance to appear and Jin managed to slip into that area without anybody knowing.
"Get in contact with General Grieves. I heard he was the one who is going to bring Jin back." Inus ordered and soon the two Generals were able to meet with each other.
"General Inus. What's the matter? Are you going to deny us from rescuing our lazy bum?"
"No, General Grieves. On the contrary, I am here to give some warning. The area that you guys have parked yourself in is gang territory. I am afraid that there may still be gang members around or you will have trouble patrolling the area."
"I am assuming you wish to offer some assistance? There is no need to. We can bring in some heavy duty Mechanoids and a few more soldiers to keep the area safe since we are permitted by your leader to bring as much as I want to. So, do not worry about us. We have the manpower and I know the gangs in Parry City. As long as you do not disturb them, they will not disturb us. I'm also sure they are not stupid enough to make enemies with Daimon Military."
"But General, as a precaution. It's best that you allow some of my personal best to be there."
"Then all the more I decline. As much as I can understand the sentiments for providing assistance and ensuring that we are taken care of, what our lazy bum said is also true. He had been attacked so many times that it's not funny anymore. Be thankful that our leader and his team did not kill anyone. That thermobaric blast is of your military own making as well. I also assume Diamondz Corp would be finding some answers too." General Grieves knew what Inus was trying to do.
After the reputation of Parry City Military being seen as a bunch of people who want to destroy their own city, as well as taking advantage of the situation in an attempt to indirectly kill their own lord as well as Daimon's. It would take years to gain back that kind of trust from other people.
In fact, General Inus was worried no one would wish to cooperate with Parry City Military or even do sales with it, in fear that the next mechanical dragon production could happen again.
"Get the police to aid in, and if needed, send an advisor from the military. I assume the police handle more of the gang than the military do, right?" General Grieves said and Inus smiled lightly. Perhaps Grieves knows what Inus was going through but for now, it's too quick to let bygones be bygones. There was some mistrust and that breach of trust needs time to mend.
But once the talk was over, General Grieves hurried his men to go into the underground facility and save that very special lazy bum.
