In Montaya, Zhou Jiping had seen few people who could grow such a fat figure. When he saw the person with such a distinctive figure, even though the person kept covering his face with an umbrella, Zhou Jiping still remembered
He is Montaya's second-in-command, Masuari's staunch partner, and he has just withdrawn from the Imara grasslands less than a week ago - General Mountbatten
Although Zhou Jiping didn't know why Mountbatten came to visit at this time, he could at least be sure that the other party had gone through so many troubles and concealed his identity to come to see him, so naturally he was not here to assassinate him. With this guess, Zhou Jiping knew
As soon as he loosened his grip on the gun handle, he relaxed and leaned back on the chair.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be His Majesty the General. What a surprise!" Zhou Jiping's voice was not high, but it made Huang Pihu and Laisi, who had been nervous, become confused.
The visitor had been very careful and did not even put down his umbrella when he entered the house until he was completely inside. When Zhou Jiping revealed his identity, he put away his umbrella and revealed his true colors.
——Who else could it be but Mountbatten?
Mountbatten now has a pair of furry sideburns and beard, and he also pretends to be polite and wears a pair of glasses, but no matter how he cleans it up, the military atmosphere on his body is still faintly exuded.
Seeing that he was exposed, Mountbatten simply stopped hiding it. He took off his glasses, smiled innocently, and nodded to several people in the room.
It was only then that Laisi and Huang Pihu finally recognized the identity of the person in front of them. Huang Pihu was better off because he was well-informed, but Laisi was already pointing at Mountbatten with her finger and was so shocked that she was speechless.
It would have been the same for anyone else. A battlefield opponent who was fighting to the death a week ago suddenly changed his outfit and came to visit with his identity concealed. This was really beyond her imagination.
We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to introduce each other. Zhou Jiping has already vaguely guessed Mountbatten’s purpose. At the moment, he teased Mountbatten seemingly casually: "Your Excellency, General, used a good strategy. I should surrender to Your Excellency, General."
What? Or should you be sent to a prisoner of war camp?"
Hearing Zhou Jiping's joke, Mountbatten suppressed his laughter and pointed to the door carefully: "Those reporters are all real. I am just an arms dealer who claims to be familiar with you. Look..."
Zhou Jiping nodded and said to Laisi: "Laisi, you go and receive them. I will make time to see them later."
"Is that okay?" Lais also guessed that Mountbatten must have a deep meaning here. She walked hesitantly toward the door and asked Zhou Jiping in a low voice: "They have named you to interview you directly."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a big talk I told them. Then Mr. Chief will only need to meet them and give them some interesting news." Mountbatten said to Lais in a low voice with a smile on his face,
Where can I find the shadow of the general who just led the team in a battle?
Before Laisi went out, Zhou Jiping seriously asked Laisi not to reveal Mountbatten's true identity, and kept sending her to the door until he saw Laisi boarding the car, and then Zhou Jiping returned to his seat.
After sitting down, there were only four people left in the room: Zhou Jiping, Huang Pihu, Mountbatten and the strange young man. No one spoke. They only communicated with each other with eyes and smiles. It seemed that they had not seen each other for many days.
friends, not enemies fresh off the battlefield
As the sound of the engine outside the house faded away, the house finally became quiet.
Seeing Zhou Jiping and Huang Pihu continue to look at him with a smile, Mountbatten knew that it was his turn to speak. He smiled coquettishly and said: "Great Chief, I came here out of helplessness. I know that just now
At the end of the war, the Northern Army, oh no, I, offended you, but I hope I can make up for it with actual actions..."
Watching Mountbatten's performance, Zhou Jiping and Huang Pihu said nothing, watching each other proceed as if they were watching a play.
"Oh, let me introduce, this is my son, Xiduogu." Seeing that Zhou Jiping and Huang Pihu were both silent, Mountbatten's play was a bit unsung, and then he introduced his son as if he suddenly understood.
, he hopes to ease the awkward atmosphere in this way
But how did he know that after working together for so long, Zhou Jiping and Huang Pihu already had a certain understanding of each other? Now that they saw Mountbatten deflated and a little nervous, they simply continued to look at Mountbatten expressionlessly.
There was no reaction at all to Mountbatten's grand launch of his son, and he continued to exert silent pressure on Mountbatten.
Both of them understood that at this special time, Mountbatten must have had extremely strong motives for taking such a big risk and coming to Soyo just a few days after the war and when the situation in the north had not yet completely stabilized.
Purposely put some mental pressure on Mountbatten at this time and make him panic, which will be helpful for the next thing.
Sure enough, Mountbatten lost momentum for a while, and it was a bit difficult to perform the following scenes and he couldn't go on.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Mountbatten said "oh" three times in a row, and then he remembered what to say. He said sincerely: "Actually, I don't want to see this war happen.
However, some things are beyond my control. However, even so, during this Civil War, my troops have always tried their best to maintain restraint and try not to conflict with the Confederacy. I hope the chief can understand me.
Because of my difficulties, accept this gesture of goodwill from me.”
Both Zhou Jiping and Huang Pihu have good qi-nurturing skills. Even Mountbatten mentioned this, but they still looked like old monks in trance.
The olive branch extended by the other party
Mountbatten was a little stupid. He imagined countless possibilities and was mentally prepared to deal with all the difficulties from the Southern Alliance. However, he did not expect to encounter a soft nail. He could neither advance nor retreat.
"Your Excellency, the Great Chief, I know that the Northern Army's southern invasion has caused great losses to the Southern Alliance." Seeing that Mountbatten's play could no longer go on, his son Hidogu spoke up, and as soon as he spoke, he told the story of the war.
It was positioned as a "southern invasion": "We knew better what Masuari had done in Ngro. We were extremely shocked and regretful about this. However, my father and I, as well as a group of generals under my father's command, were...
The only thing we can do as we are powerless in this sad war that should not happen is to minimize the scale of the war and reduce unnecessary casualties. Therefore, in this war, my father's army acted as the second line.
The role of the troops basically did not have a large-scale head-on conflict with your army because my father and I both know how important the Confederacy is to Montaya and how important it is to the peace of this country, and we all look forward to it.
Possible cooperation between our two parties in the future”
Very good at talking! Zhou Jiping and Huang Pihu exchanged glances, and both of them could see their admiration for Xidogu from each other's eyes.
Hideogu took over Mountbatten's words as soon as he came up, resolving Mountbatten's embarrassment and at the same time separating the father and son from Masuari's Northern Army, pointing out that their father and son's attitude towards the Southern Alliance had always been friendly.
, rather than aggressive; the attitude of Mountbatten and his sons towards the war was regrettable and forced; I would like to emphasize one point at the end - we know that you are very important, and we can cooperate with each other, so there can be peace.
"According to you, when General Mountbatten arrived, Soyo came with peace and goodwill?" Faced with the other party's overtures, Huang Pihu said that the other party came to seek cooperation, but in order to cooperate
To strive for greater interests, he must knock back Xidogu's spirit.
"This gentleman must be Staff Officer Huang?" Xidogu nodded politely to Huang Pihu and smiled, and then said in a tone reserved for juniors: "My father and I are peace-loving, but because we were in a
camp, we have a lot of helplessness and inconvenience. We can only adopt some passive combat methods on the battlefield to secretly reduce and reduce unnecessary conflicts and losses with you. Although we have been maintaining pressure on Soyo in the north of Soyo,
But in this process, we have never posed a substantial threat to Soyo."
What Xidogu said is the fact that after the war, especially when Masuari attacked Ngro, Mountbatten's army in the north of Soyo had been attacking regularly every day, firing artillery and shooting, and had not waited.
The two sides had substantial contact, and then retreated. Francois, who stayed behind in Soyo at that time, was also very happy. When the opponent approached, he would attack, and when the opponent retreated, he would say goodbye. After a few days, both sides consumed a lot of ammunition.
In addition, the number of casualties has basically not increased.
"Oh, so I have to thank you?" Huang Pihu said sarcastically: "We came to Soyo with tens of thousands of soldiers as guests. We did not provide enough food supplies, but we caused you a lot of trouble.
Always threatening the lives of your soldiers with sneak attacks and traps, this is really not the way to treat guests." Since Hidoko served as Mountbatten's vanguard, Huang Pihu had no choice but to serve as Zhou Jiping's vanguard.
"Haha, in fact, your Excellency the Chief of Staff really wants to thank us. When Masuari attacked Ngro, he was planning to ask my father to send a force to follow the Southern Alliance pursuers behind the Northern Army to protect the Northern Army's rear.
The road was safe, but my father used the excuse that "the war in Soyo was fierce and we could not send troops to go south." Otherwise, you might not have been able to achieve that great victory outside the Kapa Pass. If that was the case, I'm afraid.
Will the outcome of the entire war have to be rewritten?" Xidogu's words were soft and yet thorny!
