Only the sound of the old man turning over documents could be heard softly.
Jack, who had a very high status in the army, was standing upright with respect and awe on his face.
"I'm not satisfied with your results."
"The bosses are also very dissatisfied."
The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Jack.
His gaze was calm, but it contained a fierce aura that made Jack dare not look at him.
"yes!"
Jack lowered his head slightly and responded.
"General Jack, who has been victorious in every battle, fought against a mere border force, but came back defeated."
"I want to know what happened."
The old man slowly closed the information in his hand, looked at Jack calmly and asked.
He is indeed very angry in his heart now.
The purpose of sending people over from the United States was definitely not to simply scare Lu Feng.
But what they really want is to completely strangle the Fengxuan Alliance.
But now Jack's result is like this.
"There was an accident."
Jack was silent for a few seconds and then replied softly.
"What accident?"
"When you take people there, they will give you two choices."
"First, capture the leader of the Fengxuan Alliance and bring him back alive. He may be useful to us in the future."
"Two, start a war directly, strangle all the Fengxuan Alliance, and completely break them up."
"These two choices, to put it bluntly, are the choices of fighting or not fighting. Isn't it difficult to make it?"
The old man frowned slightly, but his tone remained calm.
"It's not difficult."
Jack paused and answered truthfully.
"If it's not difficult, why didn't you make any choice?"
"Not only did you not bring the people back, you also allowed the Fengxuan Alliance to continue to exist."
"Tell me, what choice did you make?"
The old man stood up slowly with his hands on the table, his eyes flashed with countless gleams.
"I need an explanation."
"The United States also needs an explanation."
"General Jack, you'd better think clearly before answering."
The old man held the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Jack as he asked word by word.
Jack pondered for more than ten seconds before slowly explaining.
"That's because something happened to the mercenary groups in the small towns that the United States had conquered before."
"When I was about to order war, many of these people actually wanted to shoot at us."
"I think those people must have been bribed by the Fengxuan Alliance, so they turned against us and opened fire on us."
"The situation was very chaotic at the time, and the team behind me was even more chaotic."
"In order to prevent the Fengxuan Alliance from taking advantage of the chaos to attack us, I had no choice but to order a retreat."
When Jack said these words, his tone was very serious, making it impossible to see anything unusual.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and after pondering for two seconds, he asked: "You mean, those mercenary groups that we conquered turned against you and pointed their guns at you?"
"Yes! That's it." Jack nodded heavily.
Anyway, the individual mercenary groups in the town should have been killed by the Fengxuan Alliance by now.
Dead men tell no tales, whatever Jack says is what he says.
As for his subordinates, he will naturally make arrangements for them.
Even if some people didn't cooperate, there were 200,000 people behind Jack at that time, and the battle line spread over such a large area.
If there is chaos in a certain area, it is natural for others not to know about it, right?
So, Jack didn't panic at all.
"Are these people stupid?"
"How dare they attack our country, the United States?"
After listening to Jack's report, the old man said to himself in confusion.
Jack did not speak. He knew that too much words would lead to mistakes, so he kept silent when appropriate.
"Also, many of them originally belong to the United States."
"Just because of various reasons, I was forced to leave the United States and wander outside."
"Now that they have the chance to return, they don't know how to cherish it?"
The old man muttered to himself, feeling very puzzled.
Now he has no doubt that Jack is lying.
After all, he would never have imagined that Jack would have anything to do with Fengxuan Alliance.
"It sounds like they don't want to be cannon fodder and lackeys for us."
Seeing the old man's confusion, Jack spoke softly again, leading the old man's train of thought to a side road.
"Is that so?"
"If that's the case, it's understandable."
"It's true that the United States just treats them as cannon fodder."
The old man was stunned for two seconds, and then slowly waved his hand, his tone full of indifference.
"You should know how dangerous it is to have chaos on the rear in that situation."
"My people don't dare to shoot at will because they can easily hurt their own people."
"There is fire and chaos in the rear. If the Fengxuan Alliance takes advantage of the chaos to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"So I can only order with regret to let our people retreat first."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Jack explained to himself again.
The old man nodded slightly.
He has also fought many battles, so he naturally knows that when fighting against foreign forces, one must first make peace at home.
If there is internal chaos, it will be impossible to continue the fight.
So, if the situation is really like what Jack said, then he did nothing wrong.
However, this does not mean that Jack will not be punished.
"The superiors don't need to know your process. They only care about whether your results satisfy them."
"You have to understand this."
The old man slowly turned his head to look at Jack and said calmly.
"My subordinate understands."
Jack immediately stood up and nodded in response.
Now that he had made the decision to let Lu Feng go, he was certainly prepared to face the punishment.
…
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
The Great Plains of the Western Regions.
In the middle of the Fengxuan Alliance camp.
Lu Feng made many arrangements since he hung up the phone with that person.
In short, this Western Region must not be handed over to others.
Even that person has already come forward in person. If Lu Feng still refuses, then it is really disrespectful.
Naturally, Long Haoxuan and others supported Lu Feng's decision unconditionally.
As evening approached, Lu Feng and Long Haoxuan were walking outside the camp, looking at the surrounding terrain.
"Brother Feng, I've been thinking about it all day today, but I still haven't figured it out, what does Jack mean?"
Long Haoxuan followed Lu Feng, holding a steel knife in his hand to chop up all the weeds and other things on the road.
"I haven't figured it out either."
Lu Feng shook his head slightly, his tone also a little helpless.
"If you say that he is doing good for us, it doesn't make sense."
"You said that if he didn't do anything for us, those individual mercenaries could have taken the lead and served as cannon fodder for them, but in the end they were sent to our swords by him."
"I really don't understand now which side he is on."
Long Haoxuan chopped up all the weeds in front of him, then turned to look at Lu Feng.
"Who can tell clearly?"
"We can only use soldiers to cover up the water and earth."
Lu Feng sighed softly and continued walking forward.
Long Haoxuan's mouth moved, but he still stepped forward to follow.
