Chapter 1273: American Captain
The area north of the Turimo border is a long-disputed border area. Several waves of petty warlords, each under the banner of a national war, fought here for several years. It was not until last summer that a ceasefire agreement was signed under the coordination of the Security Council.
Many of the peacekeepers here have been evacuated, and there is probably a company or so of personnel left, which is mainly responsible for the protection of civilians, United Nations and humanitarian personnel, as well as patrols and guards, and other tasks in the peacekeeping mission area.
Because the ceasefire on the border has been going on for some time, and the average small militia, guerrilla and armed gang do not dare to provoke this well-equipped peacekeeping force. After all, they have guns and cannons, and they are backed by big international institutions. Who's okay to come to this trouble?
So these peacekeepers never dreamed that they would be raided overnight. The top officer here is an American captain, but he's not the shield-wielding superhero in Hollywood movies. So when he was pulled out of his sleeping bag and pointed at a dozen guns, the American captain looked confused.
After a few minutes of staying, the American captain was very cooperative with his head in his hands and said loudly, "I declare my surrender and demand to be treated as a prisoner of war under international law." Please don't hurt me, our people will pay the ransom you demanded. ”
As a result, the black soldier ignored him. directly charged him. A few minutes later, General Wollman walked in under the protection of Lin Rui and the others. The American captain immediately repeated what had just been said.
"Sorry Captain, you weren't captured. Crazy Horse walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax." ”
"Are you...... Americans?" the captain was in a daze, and couldn't figure out what kind of unit was coming.
"Hey, look at the captain here, do you see this rank?" Wollman pointed to a row of gold stars on his shoulder.
The captain looked at the star on General Wollman's shoulder, a little stupid, he didn't know what to call him. Judging by so many stars, this black officer is not only a general, but also a general.
Because there is no standard for this rank, Wollman is a local warlord, and if he wants to add a few stars to his shoulders, he will add a few stars. Not to mention generals, even marshals can appoint themselves.
But this finally made the captain understand one thing - this is the leader. He looked cautiously at the black officer, and at the delicate stick he held in his hand. I don't know what this person is or what he is looking for.
Lin Rui said to the American captain, "Mr. Captain." We're not here to take you captive, let alone kidnap for ransom. It was just a friendly visit. ”
"Yes, yes, friendly......," the captain nodded, but he couldn't see how friendly these murderous soldiers who were dripping from the rain were friendly.
"We're here on the principle of friendship and mutual assistance, and we actually want to make a deal with you. Lin Rui sighed and said, "We need to use your gas station to refuel and get some supplies." You call the gas station right now, several of our tankers are waiting, and they will be back with a full tank of fuel soon. When they come back, we'll go. As I said, nobody gets hurt with a little bit of cooperation. ”
"But...... Alright, well," said the captain, as soon as he saw the guns in the hands of the black soldiers, "I'll call." ”
Under the watchful eye of the soldiers around him, the captain could only make a phone call and inform the soldiers on duty at the military gas station to fill them up with fuel.
General Wollman took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the table with several stacks of bills. "Take the money and sign it for me. ”
"Huh?" the captain was stunned for a moment, and said with difficulty, "You pay the money back?"
"Fart, what kind of person are you Lao Tzu? are you an armed bandit who robs a house, or a scoundrel who buys things without paying?" said Wollman, glaring.
The American captain was stunned by his roar, and quickly shook his head, "I collect money, I collect money." ”
"It's not enough to just collect money, you have to give me a receipt. Just write on this piece of paper. Wollman slapped the table and said, "I'll give you twice the price of standard oil, and this must be clearly written." ”
The captain looked helpless, so he could only write a receipt on that piece of paper and sign it underneath. General Wolman took it in his hand and handed it to Crazy Horse beside him, "See if he writes correctly? I can't read." ”
"It doesn't look like a problem. Crazy Horse frowned, "Don't you know English?"
"I would speak, but illiterate. General Wolman shook his head. He was born in a colony in a European country, and his English is completely spoken, but he has not studied it systematically, and he really does not know a few words. Belong to the kind of illiterate people who can speak and can't write.
However, Lin Rui knew what he meant, this warlord leader was actually an old fox who knew how to avoid risks. He deliberately asked the captain to write a receipt, so that the matter would not be a big deal. Because the matter is getting bigger, it will only be the captain himself who will have the trouble of selling supplies privately. Anyway, if he has money in his hand, he will definitely try to fill this hole himself.
Then no one will pursue the matter, and it will also prevent Wolman from getting into trouble, after all, his territory is still surviving on a large amount of international aid. Offending the UN does him no good. This General Wolman seems to be rough, but in fact he is careful. Calculate every link without leakage.
After several tanker trucks were refueled, General Wolman did not rush to leave, but ordered the troops to rest at the peacekeeping station. Because he knows better than anyone that these soldiers under his command have reached the limit, and if they continue to run, the iron man will not be able to bear it. They must be given a rest.
After filling up the gas, they were also much more polite to the captain, at least putting away all their guns. The American captain said helplessly to Crazy Horse, "I'm sorry, but I don't understand, why are you doing this?"
"You don't need to understand the captain, tomorrow we will leave. We've never been there for you. We don't get into trouble, and we don't want trouble to get into trouble. Do you understand?" Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I were you, go take a hot shower and continue to sleep." When it dawns tomorrow, it will be back to normal. ”
The captain nodded helplessly, he was confined to his room, and several of the guards on the periphery were also subdued. What these people want to do, he has no choice but to let it go. Fortunately, this unidentified army did not break its promise, and they really left after the next day.
The captain has been in the army for more than a year, and he has been on peacekeeping missions in Africa for more than a year, but this is definitely the strangest thing he has encountered in his life, a heavily armed army, raiding his station overnight, just to buy fuel, and it is twice the price. It just made him feel incredible, but he couldn't reveal it to anyone.
