Base Part 2

"Sir?" One of the soldiers approached the General, glancing at George and Ivan.

"They are under my authority. I must bring them down," he replied, prompting the soldier to nod and proceed to a nearby stove. With the press of a button, the stove opened like a door.

The General stepped inside, followed closely by George and Ivan. As they entered, George couldn't help but remark, "This is quite innovative."

"Yes, I meticulously planned this for years. After decades of tax evasion and blackmail, I finally managed to finance this expansive military bunker from my own resources," the General disclosed, leading them deeper into the facility.

Countless soldiers bustled about, tidying up and transferring equipment from their previous base to this new stronghold.

"Why have we come here, sir?" inquired Major Ivan.

"It would be better if we discuss matters in my office," the General responded.
