Zhuang Bo signaled Lu Ming to continue. Just as Lu Ming was about to speak, a voice suddenly shouted from outside the door: "Report!"
Everyone turned their heads in unison. Zhuang Bo glanced around suspiciously. Everyone at the fleet base who should be there was in the conference room. What was going on outside?
"Come in!" Zhuang Bo responded in a deep voice.
The door opened, and a major officer walked into the conference room and saluted neatly.
Zhuang Bo frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
The major replied: "Commander, Lieutenant General Thomas, commander of the US garrison, invites you to attend the joint meeting."
"Joint meeting? When?" Zhuang Bo frowned.
"Three o'clock in the afternoon."
Zhuang Bo looked at his watch, it was already past one fifty: "At the US military base?"
"yes!"
"Do you know the content of the meeting?"
"It wasn't mentioned in the invitation."
"Okay, I understand, you go back first." Zhuang Bo said.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Ming suddenly stopped the major, "Notify the security company and get ready to go."
"Yes!" the major saluted and left.
Wei Chengfei immediately said: "Commander, you must be on guard against others. Americans are not easy to save money..."
Zhuang Bo waved his hand: "It's none of my business to save fuel. No matter what the Yankees have in mind, let's just say the same thing and stay the same to cope with all changes... In this way, Cheng Fei, you stay and take charge of the overall situation, and Ye Han comes with me."
trip."
Ye Han smiled and said: "Yes, I will be your bodyguard."
Zhuang Bo suddenly remembered something: "Lu Ming, how is the security here?"
"It's not satisfactory." Lu Ming said, "Before the insect plague, the public security in this place was pretty good. After the insect plague, it became worse day by day. Under the current situation, you don't even dare to go out on the streets without taking a gun. But the commander can rest assured that even with the courage of the local people, he wouldn't dare to
Make a move on us."
Although the foreign garrison has no law enforcement power, it will not stand idly by if a security incident occurs. The local evil forces cannot hide, so how can they dare to get in front of the foreign garrison?
Zhuang Bo asked again: "What about the relationship between the base and the local people?"
"It's okay." Lu Ming said, "There are Americans who are causing hatred."
Wei Chengfei laughed: "That's right!"
Zhuang Bo tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously: "That's it... Cheng Fei, arrange a helicopter and we can fly there directly."
"When to set off?"
"Get ready first. Rushing is not a business. There is no need to go there so early. The most important guests always arrive last. Let's just check out the spots. It doesn't matter if it's a little late."
Everyone laughed.
It seems that it is just a difference between being ahead of schedule and being on time, but it actually involves the issue of who has the initiative.
Except for China, all other countries are vassals of the Yankees. It is right to listen to the boss and give him a thumbs up. But China must not drop this price. Even if it cannot get the leadership, it must at least have a certain initiative.
, we cannot let the Americans lead us by the nose.
After setting the tone, the next step was to wait. Before it was time to set off, Lu Ming briefly talked about the strength of the remaining countries.
The combined military strength of these countries is not even a fraction of that of the United States. They basically just wave the flag and focus on participation. It is hard to say how much effect they will actually have.
After a while, Zhuang Bo felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately announced the end of the meeting, pulled Ye Han and left the conference room together, and took a helicopter to the US military base.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the US military base. The US military, which had been notified in advance, sent a vehicle to take the group to the meeting location.
After dragging left and right, it was still two minutes too early. Zhuang Bo, who was walking at the front, deliberately slowed down and refused to enter the venue. He also deliberately stopped to talk to Ye Han about irrelevant nonsense, and kept delaying until
It was just a few seconds before three o'clock, and then Shi Shiran opened the door of the conference room.
The sound of the door opening alarmed the people inside, and all the officers in the room turned around, all eyes focused on the few people who had arrived late.
The inside and outside of the door were like two worlds. Looking over Zhuang Bo's shoulder, Ye Han saw the round conference table, the main table surrounding the round table, the national flag in front of the main table, and the attendant seats behind each main table.
Except for the Chinese seat, people were sitting in other seats, and it was hard to tell who was who for a while.
Zhuang Bo smiled calmly: "Has the meeting started? We are not late."
Immediately there was a commotion in the conference room, which was the simultaneous translation at work.
A tall white officer stood up, said something in English, and made an invitation gesture to the Chinese position.
Ye Han's foreign language skills were too poor, and the foreigner spoke so fast that he didn't understand a few words at all.
The translator who was always following Zhuang Bo said softly: "He said you were very punctual, and he also asked you to take a seat."
Ye Han asked in a low voice: "Who is that person?"
"Lieutenant General Thomas, the leader of the Americans." The translator answered in the same small voice.
Zhuang Bo walked towards the round table, and the two men quickly followed. Lieutenant General Thomas waited patiently until Zhuang Bo sat down, then opened his mouth and muttered a lot.
The translator said: "The front is full of nonsense like welcome, but there is only one useful sentence, which means that with so many countries participating in the African operation, it is necessary... well, it means that the snake can't do it without a head, and a joint command can be established to uniformly command the armies of all countries...
...You just want to seize power!" He handed Ye Han an earphone and said, "Simultaneous translation."
Ye Han refused: "If you don't want to listen to nonsense, I'd better listen to your translation."
The translator chuckled: "I know English, but if someone else speaks, I wouldn't understand."
Ye Han thought it was right, so he took the earphones and hung them up.
A different person was speaking on the court, and Ye Han saw a small rice-shaped flag in front of him.
Ye Han heard some high-sounding words: "Dear General, I am honored to represent the Royal Navy of the British Empire in participating in African operations. We are willing to work with your country to jointly deal with threats from Africa..."
There was too much nonsense in the simultaneous translation, and Ye Han was not interested in listening to what was said later, because the translator did not remain silent, but complained in a low voice: "The general idea is that I agree with the Americans, and they are very skilled in flattering."
The sharp contrast between the two translations made Ye Han almost laugh out loud.
Representatives from various countries spoke one after another, and they all agreed with the establishment of a joint command. The opinions were very unified. The difference was that some representatives were flattering more loudly, while some representatives' speeches were full of sour vinegar.
Thomas is obviously an old fox who has experienced many accidents. He did not get carried away because of the public praise. Instead, he calmly turned his gaze to Zhuang Bo and said bluntly: "Mr. Zhuang, the joint command needs your support. Without your support, the joint command will not succeed."
The conductor is a joke."
Before he finished speaking, the eyes of all the representatives fell on Zhuang Bo again, with envy, jealousy, and deep fear in their eyes.
I saw a book friend talking about anti-theft. Anti-theft has indeed caused everyone a lot of trouble. However, I have already mentioned what needs to be said in the billing chapter, so I won’t repeat it here. In a word, please bear with me. Thank you brothers.
