She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 254 Huo Yisheng Lost Contact

Ye Shu's heart skipped a beat.

Because it was already dark and everyone was going to sleep, Commander Huo usually wouldn't look for her at this time, and would leave any matters until the next morning.

But now, she actually asked Huo Yiling to call her.

Ye Shu didn't delay and immediately followed Huo Yiling downstairs.

Fortunately, she was so tired that she just collapsed on the edge of the bed to rest for a while. She hadn't washed, taken off her clothes and got into bed yet, so she could stand up and walk now.

This was the first time Ye Shu stepped into Commander Huo's study. Commander Huo was the only one in the room, but as soon as Ye Shu came in, he noticed that the air pressure was very low.

Although Commander Huo holds a high position of power and has an air of authority, he is very restrained at home, especially when he is with Ye Shu and Huo Yiling, mother and daughter.

Therefore, this was also the first time that Ye Shu truly felt the majestic aura of him as a top leader of a country.

After she went in, Commander Duan soon arrived. The study door was closed, and guards were standing outside the door and windows.

Ye Shu guessed it almost instantly: "Did something happen to Huo Yisheng?"

Commander Duan and Commander Huo exchanged a glance, and Commander Huo finally spoke: "Don't worry, Huo Yisheng has run into some trouble, and now we want to ask you for a favor."

Then, Commander Huo briefly explained Huo Yisheng's situation.

It turned out that Huo Yisheng was betrayed by our people during the mission and had to temporarily change the route. Later, for safety reasons, he had to cut off contact with everyone.

This is why Huo Yisheng disappeared without a trace not long after he went out on a mission.

Commander Huo: "We just received intelligence not long ago that the ship he was on was lost at sea. Besides them, there was also a very important batch of imported wheat on board, which is related to the food needs of the people in the country for the upcoming winter."

Ye Shu once learned that China began to change its foreign trade model in 61.

In the 60s and before, the main form of trade in China with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe was barter trade with accounting settlement.

Starting in 61, large quantities of grain were imported from Western countries, which accelerated the transformation of China's foreign trade mode.

This is mainly reflected in the reduction of book-entry barter trade, the expansion of foreign trade in accordance with internationally accepted methods, and the promotion of "rice-wheat arbitrage transactions."

Rice-wheat arbitrage trade, as the name suggests, means exporting rice and importing wheat.

According to incomplete statistics, the price of rice at that time was 2-2.5 times that of wheat.

This rice and wheat arbitrage can greatly alleviate the pressure of domestic food demand and also achieve very good economic benefits. [This paragraph is based on Jiuyi's reference to various sources]

After hearing this, Ye Shu probably understood: "So, you want me to go find them?"

Commander Huo and Commander Duan both looked very serious: "Yes."

"Besides the fact that Huo Yisheng's mission is crucial and must be completed, this batch of food is also very important. It is related to the guarantee of at least tens of millions of people in the country to spend the winter safely!"

Commander Duan added: "The key is that the sea area where they disappeared is often infested with pirates."

In fact, they had already had a fierce argument about whether to let Ye Shu go out with their emergency support fleet.

One of them is a commander and the other is a military commander. Naturally, they both hope that Huo Yisheng can complete his mission, because the information he is escorting back to the country this time is related to the country's national defense, and it is the confidence that will enable them to stand tall on the international stage in the future!

Of course, we also hope that this shipload of grain can return home safely. After all, the people are relying on this batch of imported wheat to survive the winter!

Domestic rice has almost been exported. If this batch of wheat cannot be imported, one can imagine how people’s lives will be!

However, as relatives and elders of Huo Yisheng and Ye Shu, they couldn't bear to let Ye Shu go out to sea.

After all, she is just a lesbian. After all, she has just given birth to three children. The children are crying for food and cannot do without her.

If, in case there is a bad result...

They simply couldn't imagine it.

But the interests of the country and the people are above everything else, and with a mission on their shoulders, they can only harden their hearts, make a painful decision, and shamelessly come to Ye Shu.

Knowing that she had an exceptional sense of direction at sea, she once accurately found all the ships when the ship signals were completely blocked.

At present, Huo Yisheng and the cargo ship have lost contact at sea, and the people they sent out have also lost their way in that sea area.

There was no other way, they could only pin their hopes on Ye Shu, hoping that she could use her talent to help them overcome this difficulty.

Another reason why Commander Duan and Commander Huo hesitated was that Ye Shu's children were still too young, and as a mother, she would probably be reluctant to leave.

They were originally worried that Ye Shu was too young and not ideologically aware enough, and were thinking about how to persuade him.

Before they could even speak, Ye Shu agreed: "Okay, I'll go. Do you have a rough estimate of where they last lost contact?"

After all, the ocean is so huge. Even if she has a cheat in the sea, it would be very difficult to find someone if she doesn't have a specific target.

Commander Huo and Commander Duan were both surprised, but they quickly came to their senses.

Commander Huo opened a world map and an ocean map and placed them on the table.

Commander Duan opened a notebook he carried with him, on which he had accurately recorded a string of coordinate numbers.

At the same time, they also marked out Huo Yisheng's mission location and the place where he would board the ship, so that Ye Shu could have a rough judgment.

Ye Shu used to work in overseas trade, so he was very familiar with the geographical locations of some foreign countries.

Although Commander Huo and the others did not specify many details, Ye Shu also drew a conclusion from the changes in Huo Yisheng's trajectory. His situation was very difficult. He missed the opportunity to return home again and again, and finally had to board the cargo ship back home.

Before boarding the cargo ship, he traveled to several countries, which should have been a deception for the enemy.

But in the end, the enemy still determined that he was on the cargo ship returning home, or rather, the enemy was not sure whether he was definitely on the cargo ship, but would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

What's more, the cargo ship returning home was full of food, so they targeted it.

The cargo ship's route back to the country is basically fixed. If it loses contact, Ye Shu has a rough guess in his mind about where its range of activity should be.

So he asked, “When do we leave?”

Commander Huo: "The sooner the better. If you are ready, we will send a car to take you to Jinkou immediately. There will be a ship to pick you up there."

Because it was a cargo ship carrying grain that lost contact, the country sent ships out to search and provide pilotage. As long as it was sailing on the high seas, there would be no problem.

After all, it is food that concerns the survival of the people, and the reason is legitimate and weighty enough!
