Chapter 198: One Ear of a Mouse
"I don't think Cang Hao has lost face." Meng Yanglong was a little angry: "As soon as Cang Hao arrived, he quickly stabilized the situation, from guarding the isolated city of Sihanoukville to later counterattacking Phnom Penh, Cang Hao played an undeniable important role. This point is not considered to be the Khmer royal army, or the military contractor of country M, it is all recognized!"
"Then where is Colonel Song Shuang?" Luo Qingwu stared: "Since he is so capable, why don't you arrest Colonel Song Shuang!"
"Colonel Song Shuang has been fighting with us for some years, and we have been trying to bring him to justice since he was selling drugs. What is the result......" Meng Yanglong spread his hands: "Who caught him? In the end, he didn't commit suicide!"
"I don't need to mention what happened back then. Luo Qingwu said impatiently: "Let's just talk about the present, and the fact at the moment is that Cang Hao is helpless against Colonel Song Shuang at all!"
Meng Yanglong immediately said: "Even if you only talk about the current matter, you have to find out what kind of person Colonel Song Shuang is, it is definitely not as easy to deal with as you think!"
Luo Qingwu recalled how he was tortured to death by Colonel Song Shuang's little minions, and his tone softened a little: "I didn't say he was easy to deal with!"
Meng Yanglong said patiently: "Then we have to give enough confidence to Cang Hao!"
As soon as Luo Qingwu turned off the fire, Liu Shuangsheng immediately followed: "Even if you don't talk about Canghao, it's time to talk about you, old Meng ......"
Meng Yanglong raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about me?"
"Since Colonel Song Shuang is so difficult to deal with, why did you send Cang Hao?" Liu Shuangsheng snorted lightly: "After spending so much money in exchange for such a result, how should you explain it, Lao Meng?"
"I'm still saying that the JPZ matter may affect our side, so we should prepare early. Sending military contractors can dilute the official color of the operation, and it can also exercise our ability to deal with overseas emergencies......" Meng Yanglong said very seriously: "It is a good thing from any angle, and as for the operation not reaching the expected goal, it can be regarded as expected." ”
Liu Shuangsheng snorted again: "Spending so much money in vain, it has become expected, Lao Meng, you are really generous, but it's a pity that you didn't dig your own pocket!"
An army general sighed and made a round: "Let's all say a few words, and now instead of complaining to each other, we should think about what to do next." ”
Luo Qingwu immediately said: "The operation has actually failed, so many mercenaries stay in JPZ, and they have to spend a lot of money every day, I think it can be withdrawn?"
"It's time to withdraw. Liu Shuangsheng nodded immediately: "Lao Meng, how much money has been approved for this operation, and what is the actual cost, I think you should make a detailed list." ”
The corners of Meng Yanglong's eyes jumped a few times: "Are you going to check the accounts?"
"I don't dare to check the accounts, there is an audit department, and it is not my turn to check. Liu Shuangsheng smiled and said: "It's just that you insisted on concocting this operation, is there something behind it, you should always let everyone know!"
"I'm talking to the lamp today!" Meng Yanglong pointed to the fluorescent lamp above his head and shouted: "If my surname Meng is greedy for a penny, the lights will be extinguished, and the whole family will not die!"
"I believe that Lao Meng is innocent!" The army general is called Yu Zhihua, although he is an army, he is not a Meng Yanglong faction, he has always maintained neutrality between the various camps: "It's still that question - what to do next, other issues, I don't think I want to discuss it!"
"Why don't you discuss it? First of all, we should make it clear that the JPZ operation is completely wrong!" Liu Shuangsheng said angrily: "When the Blood Lion mercenaries were used, Colonel Song Shuang had not yet caused chaos in our territory. Or after the Blood Lion mercenaries arrived at JPZ, Colonel Song Shuang poisoned the border area, how can you be sure that Colonel Song Shuang is not taking revenge on us?"
Meng Yanglong was even more dissatisfied: "What do you mean by this?"
"What I mean is very clear, if we don't go to JPZ and wade into troubled waters, maybe Colonel Song Shuang won't target us. Liu Shuangsheng smiled coldly and said: "These troubles are all made by some of our comrades themselves!"
"You said I did it?" Meng Yanglong slapped the table: "Lao Liu, I know that you have always been sympathetic to the Khmer Rouge, but I didn't expect you to dare to say it in public." ”
"I can't talk about sympathy or sympathy, I just think that there must be a certain rationality for Colonel Song Shuang's forces to survive for so long. Liu Shuangsheng's tone became a little calmer, in fact, this was intended to stimulate Meng Yanglong's feelings: "Saying that Colonel Song Shuang is very bad and has killed a lot of people, these are all Western propaganda, you and I have not seen it with our own eyes." The fact that he was able to seize state power in such a short period of time after returning to JPZ from Brussels shows that he has a very strong mass base. ”
Meng Yanglong was really even angrier: "I want to cooperate with Colonel Song Shuang when I hear what you mean." ”
"Now that you are doing this, even if you want to cooperate, there is no chance......" Liu Shuangsheng spread his hands: "All along, our principle is to respect the choices of the people of other countries, Lao Meng, this time you learn a lesson, don't make similar wrong decisions in the future." ”
Based on his habits, Luo Qingwu wanted to help Liu Shuangsheng speak, but his ears immediately hurt faintly, reminding Colonel Song Shuang that he was not friendly enough to him at all, so he could only keep silent.
Seeing that the two sides were frozen here, Yu Zhihua came out to speak again: "Regardless of the merits and demerits of the JPZ operation for the time being, I personally think that the Blood Lion mercenaries should indeed withdraw from the ......"
Meng Yanglong glared at Yu Zhihua: "Why?"
"It's a bottomless pit at all. Yu Zhihua sighed, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Let them stay in JPZ, they are burning money every day, but I don't know when the war will end." Now many countries want to catch Colonel Song Shuang, but they haven't even found a shadow, just with Canghao's few people, I'm afraid that the hope is even slimmer. ”
Among the participants, Yu Zhihua's attitude was relatively neutral, and as soon as his voice fell, others nodded one after another.
Liu Shuangsheng was even more proud: "I think it is necessary to make a full review of this operation. ”
"I don't need to look at the review. Yu Zhihua's position is that no one can be offended: "Let the Blood Lion mercenaries withdraw first, and if any clues are found in the future, it is not too late to arrest Colonel Song Shuang." ”
Meng Yanglong saw that he was becoming more and more isolated, and there were originally a few people who supported him, but he didn't dare to speak out in this situation at this time.
In desperation, Meng Yanglong had to compromise: "Okay...... Then withdraw the troops first......"
Liu Shuangsheng smiled: "The sooner the better!"
After the meeting ended, Meng Yanglong got in touch with Cang Hao with mixed feelings: "I have something to tell you." ”
Cang Hao's reaction was very calm: "Please speak." ”
"Why are you so polite to me today......" Sighing, Meng Yanglong said helplessly: "You...... Let your people pack up, evacuate JPZ, and go back wherever they came from, this operation is over. ”
Cang Hao nodded: "Got it." ”
"Why didn't you react?"
Cang Hao smiled: "How should I react?"
"Aren't you surprised?"
"Expected. Cang Hao smiled: "If you didn't come to this call, it would surprise me." ”
"Cang Hao, ......" Meng Yanglong sighed again: "You are very smart, then I won't say much, in short, forbearance for a while is not for us to admit defeat." ”
"Today's lurking is for the future. ”
"Yes. Meng Yanglong smiled and nodded: "Talking to smart people, don't say too much, it's best if you can understand." ”
After Cang Hao hung up the phone, he immediately called several key personnel over for a meeting, and directly ordered: "Prepare to withdraw troops immediately!"
"Really...... Just leave?" Zhao Xuan was a little unacceptable: "But we haven't won yet!"
Cang Hao said word by word: "Listen, what we want to win is the entire battle, not a few battles!"
Nie Jialin tentatively proposed: "Boss, even if the state doesn't support it, can we stay in our own name?"
"Absolutely not. Cang Hao shook his head: "We are mercenaries, we have a semi-official status in JPZ, and others are welcome." If you don't have this identity, it's hard to say what other people's attitudes are, do you think people like Weys are in the minority? Even if the JPZ natives don't say anything, the M natives will find a way to get us away. ”
Nie Jialin didn't understand: "Why?"
Cang Hao said deeply: "Because we know too much!"
Lin Binghua agreed: "What Cang Hao said makes sense, you must not be rash at this time. ”
Cang Hao said: "There is another very important reason, the cost of this battle is too great, and it can only continue with the financial support of the state, without this support, I can't come up with so much money!"
When Nie Jialin heard this, he had to admit that the Blood Lion mercenaries really couldn't stay in JPZ.
Zhao Xuan and the others are Cang Hao's brothers, and their affection for each other cannot be measured by money, but the South African Corps is different, they fight for money.
In the event of a fight, the South African Corps is paid by the hour, which is the norm for mercenaries.
If the South African Corps is withdrawn, it will not work either, because Canghao has no one to use.
There was a vote of wounded people in Cuifeng Village, and it was really impossible to draw out manpower.
There are only Zhao Xuan, Nie Jialin, Lin Binghua, Wu Lan, and Cang Hao on the JPZ side, and there are only five people in total, and it is simply a fool's dream to compete with Colonel Song Shuang's team like a sea of people.
Of course, there are also Cheka paratroopers, but after all, these people are not under the direct command of Cang Hao, and they may not be so reliable.
"Good...... Then withdraw ......" Zhao Xuan said hatefully: "Luo Qingwu, that one-eared mouse, next time it falls into Lao Tzu's hands, he must cut off the flesh on his body piece by piece!"
"Do you think I don't want to?" Cang Hao smiled and shook his head: "But his position is there, and we must ensure his safety, so it's good to be an official." ”
Lin Binghua nodded again and told Zhao Xuan: "If Luo Qingwu dies here, this time I am afraid that it will not be as simple as withdrawing your troops, and there will be more troublesome things." ”
