Chapter: 5437
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up and he opened his mouth: "What did your first sentence just say?"
"I?" The deputy commander thought for a moment and said: "I didn't think it was strange that there were AK47s here……"
The commander waved his hand dismissively: "No, go back one more step."
The deputy commander hesitated for a moment and said: "I only said this place is just a copper mine after all, not a military base……"
"Right!" The commander suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "The problem is right here! If it's really just a copper mine, then it wouldn't need to prepare anti-tank cannons at all!"
As he spoke, the commander continued in an agitated tone: "But since it has prepared anti-tank cannons, that means this place isn't just an ordinary copper mine! It's very possible that it's actually a military base we don't understand!"
"Military base?!?" Everyone else was even more shocked and couldn't speak.
To discover a military base not belonging to your own country in your own country is indeed a strange feeling.
However, the commander's logical judgment was also very reasonable. The fact that the other side had mastered such weapons as anti-tank cannons showed that they must be non-ordinary people with extremely strong practical experience and armed individuals.
That place could very well be a military base, where armed individuals use near-defense cannons to defend against attacks.
Even if it's not a real military base, there must be some massive and unknown secrets here!
The commander said nervously, "No way... this matter concerns something big. I need to report it to the president immediately!"
The commander quickly dialed the president's number and gave them a detailed briefing on the situation before hanging up with a bow. He then instructed the people around him, "Everyone, according to the president's order, we must take precautions to prevent any disturbances. We cannot leak any information outside, especially about the near-defense cannons. Don't mention it at all!"
The people looked at each other in understanding, and the deputy couldn't help but say, "Sir, blocking external messages isn't a big deal, but this incident has caused such a huge commotion that we're having trouble keeping it under wraps. What if there are doubts from within the country?"
The commander said, "I'll immediately notify the responsible persons in nearby cities to have them inform the local residents that this copper mine is exhausted and has reached its designed usage period. Due to over-extraction inside, there's a trend of collapse, so it's necessary to prevent unpredictable collapses and cause losses. All personnel within the mine have already completed their evacuation, so let everyone calm down."
This explanation seemed reasonable, and everyone felt that there was no major problem. After all, they had only found one person's DNA here, which proved that others had evacuated before the explosion and collapse occurred without causing any casualties.
Since nobody was hurt, this matter could naturally be covered up.
So everyone relaxed a bit.
The commander then instructed, "Notify them immediately to stop excavation, drilling, and heavy machinery. Gather perimeter defenses and surround the entire copper mine, while strictly preventing external personnel from approaching!"
Everyone nodded hastily.
The commander added, "Besides, we need to quickly arrange for a large amount of construction waste from nearby building sites to be brought in and fill up the collapsed part of the copper mine within 72 hours!"
The deputy asked, "Old boss, even if we fill this place up, there are still explosives and shells inside. It's still possible that they will be discovered later on!"
The commander said, "Don't worry about it. Once this place is filled up, we'll immediately harden it and then seal this piece of land, assigning someone to guard it, waiting for the storm to pass before handing it over to a reliable department. You don't need to worry too much about these things. Just focus on pushing forward with what you have to do!"
Everyone suddenly understood.
If that's the case, we can basically eliminate any future problems. JrNovels.com
