Noting that all valuable things of the nation were in danger due to the war, he instructed them to rescue the national classic at any cost.
He handed out the credentials bearing his august name to those officials and issued an order of the Supreme Commander to relevant organs and units to assist their operation. After all, a route for bringing the chronicles was marked on the map of operations at the Supreme Command and a military truck was allotted to the transport of the chronicles.
