Chapter 194: chapter 194- Departure

After arriving at the Battalion, Marzuki immediately visited the Barracks where his subordinates lived.

He then began to select some of his subordinate soldiers whom he had known for a long time and already knew their abilities.

After finishing selecting ten soldiers that Marzuki considered competent enough, he went to report back to the Major General.

Marzuki rode his motorbike again to go to the Main Army Base, where the Major General's office was located.

Entering the main base of the Indonesian National Army in Tarakan. Marzuki went straight to the Major General's office.

The first thing Marzuki did after entering the Major General's Office was to salute, Which only received a nod from the Major General.

"... Sir, I have selected ten Soldiers from the Battalion, what should I do now?"

"... Prepare everything needed for the Mission, and as I said yesterday, you will leave tomorrow, early in the morning... now, go and do as you are told"

Said the Major General and Marzuki just nodded his head, then saluted the Major General again before going back to the battalion to prepare his troops.

----------------

After arriving at the battalion, Marzuki gathered the ten soldiers he had chosen earlier, preparing the necessary equipment and the necessary requirements, Until night fell.

Because it's already night, Marzuki chose to stay overnight in one of the barracks. That night, Marzuki contacted Linda, he spoke with Linda and Taufik for a while before Taufik's bedtime arrived. With Taufik already asleep, Linda and Marzuki continued their conversation over the telephone.

"... I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, I was hoping we'd leave during the day, so I could go see you two before I leave, but it looks like I can't, ahaha~"

'... can't you just not go?'

"Hmm? Why? I thought we talked about this last night?"

Asked Marzuki, who was confused by Linda who suddenly didn't want him to go on missions.

'... I know, but... I don't know, I just feel that I will never see you again after this... '

Linda said in a tone that sounded a little sad. Hearing this, Marzuki was silent for a while; after a while, Marzuki finally took a deep breath and then said to Linda.

"Linda... I know you feel because this is the first time we've been apart since the last mission I did, You're just overthinking, no need to worry too much, or our child will be affected too, just pray for me, because no matter what I will do anything to be able to come home to you two"

'... Okay, I'll believe your words, alright, it's already too late; I'm going to sleep now; I love you... '

"Hmm~ I love you too..."

Said Marzuki who then ended the call. Looking at his phone, Marzuki took another deep breath before putting his phone on the table and then closing his eyes to sleep.

It was still dawn when Marzuki woke up from his sleep. Marzuki immediately prepared himself because, in a few hours, he would be leaving to carry out his mission in Antarctica.

After preparing himself, Marzuki went to the barracks that the soldiers used; when he arrived there, Marzuki saw that the ten selected soldiers were already awake and wearing their uniforms; this made Marzuki nod in satisfaction.

Seeing Marzuki enter their barracks, the ten soldiers who were still sitting immediately stood up and saluted Taufik.

"... Report, the ten of us are ready to carry out the mission, Captain"

Said the soldier standing closest to Marzuki; Marzuki nodded his head, and this made the ten soldiers lower their hands and take an upright position.

"... Alright... All of you, follow me"

Said Taufik who then immediately left the distance, which was also followed by the ten soldiers.

Marzuki invited the ten soldiers to go to the canteen, but because it was still dawn, the soldiers on duty in the kitchen were still preparing food, so while waiting for the food to be ready, Marzuki briefed the ten soldiers, he told them to make sure that the equipment they were going to bring was not lacking, especially thick clothing, Marzuki also said several other things, until the food was finished being made.

After finishing their meal, Marzuki and the ten soldiers went to get their equipment, and after that went to the main army base using a Unimog.

Upon arriving at their destination, a military aide who seemed to have been waiting for their arrival immediately guided them all to where the Major General was waiting.

Marzuki then guided the ten soldiers to meet the Major General.

When they reached where the adjutant was guiding them, Marzuki saw the Major General talking to someone who was wearing all white, which researchers usually wore.

The Major General, who saw Marzuki's arrival, immediately pointed toward him; this made the researcher beside him also look toward Marzuki.

Stopping right in front of the Major General and the researcher, Marzuki immediately saluted, which was also followed by the ten soldiers who were with Marzuki.

This time, the Major General did not answer with just a nod but returned the salute.

"...Repot... Sir, We are ready to carry out the task"

"I can see that...

Said the Major General while nodding towards them, then pointed his hand towards the researcher who smiled at them.

... Let me introduce you... this is the client you will have to guard, He is a leading researcher who came all the way here from Jakarta, Agus Tentama... coincidentally he is also an old friend of mine...

as stated in the file I gave you, in this mission he will lead a group of researchers who will conduct research in Antarctica, and your task and your teams to escort them until they complete their research... you will use a plane to go to Chile before using a ship that has been specially prepared with the tools they will use later, okay, I think that's all I can say...

the rest of you introduce yourselves because I have to go prepare some necessary permits before you leave"

Said the Major General, who, before leaving, said a few words to Agus Tentama first.

After the Major General left, Agus Tentama looked at Marzuki still with the smile he had shown earlier.

"So... Capt. Marzuki Hidayat? Is nice to see you... After Reading your Biodata Given by the General, I feel safe that you will be the one to escort us"

Said Agus Tentama to Marzuki while extending his hand to shake hands with Marzuki.

"... It's an honor for me to be able to escort someone so Important like you, sir"

Said Marzuki while taking Agus Tentama's hand with both of his hands.

"Ahaha~ I'm not someone that so Important, that "Old" General of yours was only talked nonsense"

Said Agus Tentama which made Marzuki only smile awkwardly when he heard Agus Tentama call the Major General "Old". It was not wrong, but still, it was a form of disrespect to someone who had a high rank like the Major General. This made Marzuki sure that Agus Tentama was indeed an old friend of the Major General and seemed quite close.

After a brief introduction between Marzuki and Researcher Agus Tentama, Taufik introduced his Team Members one by one. After that, Marzuki and his team mingled with the other researchers so that later, when they carried out the mission, it would not be too awkward.

After a while, the Major General returned with his Adjutant holding a document in his hand. Marzuki thought that the document was the "permit" that the Major General had spoken about earlier. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Major General and Agus Tentama talked for a while while giving the Document to Agus Tentama, who, after reading the contents of the Document, nodded his head in satisfaction.

After giving the Document to other researchers to keep, Agus Tentama smiled at the Major General.

"...alright my friend, looks like it's time to go"

"Well, I guess so"

While saying that, the Major General patted Agus Tentama on the shoulder, then said one more time.

"... I wish for your success, my friend"

After that, Agus Tentama said goodbye to the Major General and then headed to the vehicle he would use to go to the airport.

Seeing Agus Tentama, who wanted to leave, Marzuki once again saluted the Major General, who was also followed by his squad members.

Seeing this, the Major General nodded his head as he spoke.

"... I will also pray for you, may you succeed in completing your mission, You can go now"

After that, Marzuki and his team returned to their Unimog and followed the vehicle that took the research group to the airport.

On the way to the airport, Marzuki thought about contacting Linda, but seeing that the sun had not yet risen, Marzuki put his intentions on hold because Linda must still be asleep at this time, so he only sent a short message.

{... I have left to do my mission... pray for my success... I love you}

Marzuki typed and then pressed send. After that, he turned off his phone and put it deep in his bag because, after this, the only communication tool that could be used was a satellite phone.

After more than half an hour of travel, they finally arrived at the airport. Without stopping to do anything else, Marzuki and his team and the researchers led by Agus Tentama immediately boarded the plane that would take them to Jakarta first, before boarding a special plane that had been prepared for them to go to Chile later.
