Chapter 161 The Five-star General

• Springfield International Airport was on high alert since a military bigwig was about to arrive. While the general public was clueless, the city's infantry battalion was stationed at the airport to receive this VIP individual. Lieutenant Colonel Dagert waited nervously at the airstrip. He had prohibited all political leaders and businessmen who wanted to curry favor and kept them out of the premises.
• The only information available about the bigwig's identity was the rank of General and the surname of Armstrong. General Armstrong ran the country's elite Delta Force and was a military advisor to the President himself. However, the gender, appearance, and other personal details were classified.
• At the scheduled arrival time, an advanced army aircraft touched down and cruised to a halt. The entire battalion saluted, and Dagert waited eagerly for General Armstrong to descend from the plane. However, only the bigwig's staff came down from the aircraft. On checking, General Armstrong was found missing. Dagert was confused but later figured it was unwise to question the event. Armstrong's identity and activities were always kept secret on the President's orders.
