Sea Base

"Where are they!?" The former Colonel, now turned Four Star General Howard screamed at the soldiers.

"Satellites indicate they are in the Sea Base, Sir!"

"Sea Base?" The Colonel paused before his phone rang.

"General Howard?" Another General, who had more badges on his chest, walked towards him as he tried talking.

"Wait." Howard pulled out his phone before answering it.

His whole stature and persona that fit a strong and harsh leader had changed to a more respectful one, "Yes, sir?" He answered in a very polite tone, a vast difference from the one that he used not long ago.

Everyone there stood quiet; they knew who General Howard was talking to.

In fact, the news broke out that some unknown entity within the UN had promoted Howard for some unknown reason.

And the other 37 Generals who had a position similar to the one he recently had all been demoted to Lower 4 Star General to increase the status and the authority that Howard received.
