Wei Jie
Chapter 567 Farewell Banquet
In two days, Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan had visited almost all the field hospitals in the Chi Army's surrounding logistics support areas, obtaining a lot of important "industry" information.
At the same time, the negotiating team of the Lao Mo People's Government communicated very smoothly with the Gui Meng Army, reaching a basic cooperation intention. The remaining task was to investigate and discuss the details.
Let me briefly introduce this negotiating team, which is composed of top-level officials from the Mo Nan People's Government and the People's Army headquarters. The personnel mainly come from two departments: 1. the Office of the Chief Administrator, and 2. the headquarters' staff team.
Why is the military also involved in investment matters?
The reason is actually very simple. Because the Mo Nan region is not completely stable at present, there are still frictions on some border lines. In addition, the Gui Meng Army's military equipment output is mainly cooperated with the military. Therefore, the top leader of the People's Army asked the senior officials of the two units to come together to discuss.
Fortunately, the negotiation went smoothly, and Gui Meng Army's purpose of coming to Dragon City this time was completely achieved.
However, cooperation at such a high level certainly cannot be a quick chat and sign a contract immediately. The Gui Meng Army also needs to go back to discuss with the group and report to the high-level backstage.
...
With the general direction discussed, the Gui Meng Army was also preparing to withdraw. So that night, the Chi Army prepared a farewell dinner to relax everyone in the tense negotiation atmosphere.
In the Chi Army Command Headquarters' camp area, a group of big shots were drinking indoors. We don't know how the two sides communicated, because almost all the high-level officials of the People's Army were black brothers, and most of them didn't understand Mandarin. So, maybe they specially equipped a few translators while drinking.
Su Tianyu sat in the room for a while, feeling a bit of a headache from the noise, so he went outside, lit a cigarette, and prepared to get some fresh air.
"Tap, tap!"
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came from behind. Su Tianyu looked back and saw Zhu Bajie walking out with six soldiers, along with a black officer from the negotiating team.
Zhu Bajie and the black officer stood at the door and communicated in fluent local language for two or three minutes before the latter turned around and entered the room.
Su Tianyu smoked his cigarette and asked casually, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the war zone headquarters." Zhu Bajie nodded in the direction where the black man disappeared: "To do something for that guy, pick someone up."
"Who are you picking up so late?"
"How should I explain it to you?" Zhu Bajie paused for a moment: "Someone from the Second Prince's side here, also a high-ranking official. And... according to the garrison practice, we also need to communicate with the brother troops today to adjust the troop arrangement on some border lines. Big Brother and the Chief of Staff are busy socializing, so they definitely don't have time to take care of it. I'll run an errand along the way."
"You're really meticulous!" Su Tianyu said with emotion.
"Isn't that what the head of the guard regiment does? I'm leaving!" Zhu Bajie waved his hand: "I'll be back at night. I have nothing to do, let's have a drink."
"Be careful!" Su Tianyu waved at him.
"Okay." After the words fell, Zhu Bajie led more than a dozen guards and quickly left the camp in three cars.
In fact, in addition to being responsible for police affairs, Zhu Bajie spends most of his time acting as a steward. Because the Chi Army lacks top-notch political talents, and internal management has not reached the smoothness of a regular army, he has to assist Zhao Weihu's daily work and engage in social activities.
This job is extremely demanding on patience, and it also requires the person doing it to be very careful.
After smoking a cigarette at the door, Su Tianyu returned to the banquet barracks again.
...
At the same time.
Inside the dock workers' union, Zhang Ming squinted his eyes, pinching a cigarette with his left hand, and asked with a slightly serious expression: "Did they go?"
"They went!" An old man from the Dock Workers' Association replied: "I guess they've already arrived by now."
Zhang Ming took a deep breath of his cigarette: "This new leader is unusually ruthless. He's forcing us to do this, which is actually leaving us with no way out."
"That's for sure." Another fat elder interjected: "Otherwise, if we create antagonism with the other side, how can he use you with peace of mind?"
"I have no choice." Zhang Ming walked to the window: "We have too many inseparable interests with the upper echelons. There's no chance to sit on the fence now."
"That's right."
"Forget it, let's just do it." Zhang Ming frowned as he looked out the window, lost in thought.
Before today, Zhang Ming had not really considered becoming the real head of the dock association, because there was still Jing Yan remotely controlling him from above. Before something happened to him, the other party had arranged the personnel structure of the general association clearly. In other words, he left a vacant seat for Zhang Ming, but emptied him of power.
But as soon as today arrived, Zhang Ming's thoughts suddenly became active. He saw a glimmer of opportunity, a chance to reach the sky in one step!
...
An hour later, in a certain camp area in the Kasalo region.
Zhu Bajie looked at the defense map, used military electronic equipment, and took a picture of the newly drawn map, then said with a chuckle: "Okay, just move it like this."
A black officer on the other side nodded at Zhu Bajie with a smile and continued to communicate with him in the local language.
After the two sides finished communicating, Zhu Bajie put away the electronic equipment, saluted the other party, and turned to leave.
Walking to the door, Zhu Bajie seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned back to ask in the local language: "Officer Harka! Do you have any medicine for stomach pain here?"
"Yes!"
"Please give me some more." Zhu Bajie immediately walked over with a smile: "The commander has been drinking these days, and his stomach is uncomfortable."
"Didn't you receive medical supplies?"
"They're all used up. People from poor backgrounds, eight out of ten have stomach problems." Zhu Bajie grinned.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhu Bajie led the team away and drove to the war zone headquarters, preparing to pick up the high-level leader and return to the camp.
After the off-road vehicle drove for half an hour, it entered the defense area near the war zone headquarters and was stopped at a sentry checkpoint.
Zhu Bajie immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car, saying with a smile: "Chi Army! We are going to the headquarters to pick someone up!"
The six black soldiers on the other side looked at him without replying.
"Brother Liu Mang, right?!"
At this moment, a Chinese man walked out of the forest, welcoming him with a smile and saying, "I have admired you for a long time!"
Zhu Bajie looked at him: "You are...!"
"You're going to the war zone headquarters, right? Let's go together. I'll tell you who I am on the way!" The other party replied with a smile.
"I don't know you!" Zhu Bajie looked at the other party with a frown: "I have military affairs!"
"No military affair is more important than what's in front of you!" The other party stood in front of Zhu Bajie.
