Chapter 696: The Colonel’s Transformation (Part 2)

How to judge?

The colonel frowned. He was not an idiot who would be led by the other party.

There is a big problem with what the other party said. The colonel only said that Chen Changqing has no ill intentions towards the country, not that he is not a threat. You must know that even an ordinary person who spends two hundred dollars to buy a gun can kill 99% of people.

People pose a threat.

In the face of death, everyone is equal, no matter you are a beggar or the president.

This is just an ordinary person, let alone a demigod like Chen Changqing.

What does the other party mean?

The colonel's heart sank, and he felt vaguely that something was not right.

In fact, he is not a political idiot. If it weren't for the super genetic medicine that made his life span less than half that of ordinary people, the colonel might even have become a very good politician.

But his lifespan would not exceed fifty years at most, so that the colonel would give up the politics of intrigue.

But this does not mean that he did not understand, so he immediately said: "Threats and no malice are two different things. If you listened carefully to what I just said, you will understand that I never said that Chen is not threatening."

Lieutenant General Douglass on the other end of the phone didn't want it to end so soon. Apparently he had other ideas.

He was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. The big screen in front of him was the colonel who was monitoring in real time:

"Colonel, please answer my question seriously!"

The colonel frowned and said seriously to the headset:

"I have already answered."

But Lieutenant General Douglass, who was on the phone, seemed to do it on purpose. He didn't understand it at all, but expressed it righteously:

"Don't be perfunctory, Colonel, you have an obligation to answer my questions."

Taking a deep breath, the colonel's serious expression showed a bit of irritation: "If you understand English, you will understand that I have just explained that I have never said anything that was not threatening."

But it was precisely this sentence that made Lieutenant General Douglass in front of the screen light up, like a vulture smelling the smell of carrion, his eyes shining:

"That means you think the other party is a threat?"

The colonel was silent.

He is very familiar with this tactic, using a lot of verbal bombardment to make the other party irritated, thus causing flaws.

But it is generally used for interrogation, rather than for someone like Fang to act like an idiot and constantly catch loopholes in your language to exploit the topic.

To find a more appropriate example, it is like someone arguing with you whether it is better to burn coal or wood for a rocket to take off.

If you ask how a rocket can burn firewood, the person will immediately say that you think the rocket needs to burn coal to lift off.

If it was ten years ago, the colonel could play with each other for a week.

But according to human age conversion, the current colonel is equivalent to an old man over ninety years old. He really has no interest in playing such a mentally retarded language game with the other party.

With a sigh, the colonel shook his head, with a bit of weakness in his tired eyes:

"I'm tired. As agreed, I request to retire and get my share of the pension."

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. In the colonel's opinion, there are only two reasons why the other party did this.

One is that he doesn't want to retire, but his quality has declined too fast in the past six months, so this possibility is not high.

The other is to gain political achievements.

Although most ordinary people do not know what happened during this period, in the eyes of senior officials, Chen Changqing's appearance was no less than the Cuban crisis that year, so the colonel's twenty-minute conversation was very important.

It may even be an important achievement for promotion!

Of course, there is another possibility that the other party wants to use this to start a war, or even plot to seize Chen Changqing.

According to the information he knew, in a certain top-secret experimental base, an astonishing breakthrough has been made recently. A demigod-level corpse is of extremely high value, but this is New Orleans after all, so the possibility is even worse than the first one.

Be small.

So the colonel directly stated that he wanted nothing but a stable life in his old age.

What the colonel never expected was that as his voice fell, Lieutenant General Douglass on the other end of the call said in an official tone: "I'm sorry, colonel. If you want to retire, you must accept the investigation and answer the question just now."

problem."

With a hint of irritation in his expression, the colonel said irritably:

"You can't understand people?"

answer the questions?

Answer grandma’s legs!

The colonel could not answer the other party's question. He could not say that Chen Changqing did not pose a threat. The only thing he could say was that Chen Changqing had no ill intentions towards the country. That was all.

No matter how many colonels don't say it, he can't bear the responsibility if he does.

But Lieutenant General Douglass, who was drinking coffee, shook his head.

He looked at the irritated colonel who was being exposed under the scorching sun, and asked in an indifferent tone: "Colonel, does your irritable tone at this moment prove that you are flustered, or are you trying to cover up something with your volume?"

There was a touch of warmth and anger in his expression, and the colonel clenched his fists.

He took a deep breath, his stern eyes seemed to hate something:

"I don't want the pension anymore. I'm going to retire now. Don't bother me from now on!"

As a senior general who joined the army during the golden age, the colonel never thought that in just a few decades, the army would become what it is now. How did such a politician who only talks about words have the rank of lieutenant general?

The colonel's eyes flashed with irritation and disappointment, and his mind couldn't help but think of what Chen Changqing said to him not long ago.

This is a seed. Once suspicion appears, it will be like an opened Pandora's box. He is not sure whether he wants to live for himself. After all, he only has less than three years, and the next moment, Lieutenant General Douglass sends

A crucial blow came.

After shaking his head for a while, Lieutenant General Douglass, who was holding coffee, said with an indifferent expression:

"Colonel, I don't think you can leave yet because you need to return state property."

His expression froze, and then he became furious. The other party's words made the colonel burst out emotionally:

"What do you mean? I bought my clothes and mobile phone with my own money."

But Lieutenant General Douglass seemed to do it on purpose. He didn't care about the other party's emotions at all, but continued to express indifferently:

"I'm not interested in your clothes or mobile phone. I'm talking about the super soldier potion. It doesn't belong to you. Your body has extremely high research value."

As soon as the voice fell, the colonel seemed to be under a restraining spell. He stood stiffly on the spot, with an expression of shock and disbelief: "For this country, I gave my youth and even my life!"

Lieutenant General Douglass shrugged and took a sip of coffee elegantly:

"I'm sorry about your situation, but the law is the law and no one is above the law.

This is a rule. First, you need to be investigated and explain the problem just now. If you want to retire, you must return the national property before retirement, otherwise your behavior will constitute treason."

As he finished speaking, the colonel's expression suddenly changed.

He did not express his position directly, but turned to look at the white building not far away, with extremely dangerous emotions flashing in his eyes:

"You should know that I am less than fifty meters away from that monster at this moment."

"Are you threatening me?"

Lieutenant General Douglass had a look of surprise on his face.

He looked weird as if he had heard a very interesting joke. Then he cleared his throat and spoke sincerely, looking like a compassionate Bodhisattva:

"Colonel, I don't suggest you do this. Think about the houses around you. There may be children who have just learned to walk in them."

The colonel's expression was gloomy and uncertain. He was holding headphones in his hand and looking at the camera in front of him. His eyes seemed to be staring through the screen at the lieutenant general named Douglass, who was no more than fifty meters behind him. The place is the extremely threatening witch school.

Finally, the colonel couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth and stared at the screen:

"I know what you're thinking, you disgusting bastard."

Lieutenant General Douglass shrugged. He understood what the colonel meant, but he didn't care and would never admit it:

"I don't understand your..."

After the voice fell, the colonel crushed the earphones with his fingers, and the flying debris directly destroyed the camera. Looking at the destroyed big screen in front of him, Lieutenant General Douglass took an elegant sip of coffee with a look of regret:
Chapter completed!
