Chapter 1396: The Journey Home
It can be said that if it weren't for the current number of troops in the Rock Kingdom, it would only be able to maintain at tens of thousands in a short period of time. If you give Locke a few more years, let him expand the military land to 200,000. How Hua Guo has the same attitude as now, he promises to respond with a nonchalant attitude every minute!
Only now, the situation is stronger than people. China's current position is even higher than that of the Soviet Union. Moreover, the gap between China and the United States, whether it is the gap in military strength or the gap in international status, is already comparable.
Especially when the United States went to war with the three major chaebols, although the U.S. government regained the right to print U.S. dollar bills, its strength was still greatly damaged by the war with the three major chaebols. On the surface, however, the United States remains the sole superpower.
But in fact, the current China has completely possessed the status of being equal to the United States.
Now, the U.S. government urgently needs to do something to suppress and suppress the momentum of China, so that the rest of the world can see that the United States is still the only superpower in the world.
But the United States is also worried that if it moves too much, it will provoke a strong backlash from China. Therefore, all actions are progressing relatively slowly.
Including this time, the attitude of the United States has always been relatively mild, not like it was a few decades ago. As long as you see that what Huaguo is doing is not pleasing to the eye, you will directly jump out and oppose it.
Now that the times are different, it is natural that the attitude and response measures adopted towards what China is doing must also be adjusted accordingly with the changes of the times and the changes in the strength of the opponents.
After seeing that the United States had made a move, Huaguo quickly responded.
"Yang Xiaotian's oil well is not a small oil well, it has been in operation for a year when Chuck was in power. If the ownership of the oil well is not Yang Xiaotian, then will Chuck allow Yang Xiaotian to operate it for nearly a year?"
Huaguo's response did not cause much hesitation in the United States, and the U.S. Foreign Ministry soon responded.
"As we all know, when Yang Xiaotian was in the United States, he treated Chuck. So it's likely that Chuck just used the oil well as a reward for Yang Xiaotian. But in the end, Chuck's illness is said to have not been cured by Yang Xiaotian's treatment until the end. What's more, now that Chuck is dead, who can prove that this oil well was not leased to Yang Xiaotian for a short time by Chuck as a reward for Yang Xiaotian's expenses during the treatment period?"
The reason for using an oil well as a payment for expenses is something that the United States can think of. However, although the war of words between the two sides is fierce now, while the United States is afraid of China's strength, why is China not afraid of the strength of the United States?
Although the war of words between the two sides is fierce, the degree of friction is controlled to a subtle degree. Beyond this level, the contradiction may intensify. And below this level, the fight between them will become a bit like a child's house.
Therefore, if the contradictions between the two sides do not further intensify, but at the same time strive for greater interests for their own countries as much as possible, this is the highest priority for the representatives of the foreign ministries of both sides.
Time passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
This war of words has finally come to an end.
In the end, the peacekeeping troops sent to the Rock Kingdom were replaced by the United States, but in terms of the ownership of the oil wells, it still belonged to Yang Xiaotian.
And Yang Xiaotian has announced that he will donate the oil well to the country, which means that now within the Rock Kingdom, although the peacekeeping force has been replaced by the United States, the power of China has not completely withdrawn.
At the same time, when Huaguo is trading oil with the Rock Kingdom, the Rock Kingdom must trade with China at a price no higher than the transaction price with the United States. Otherwise, it will be necessary to restore the price of oil traded between the Kingdom of Rock and Hua during the Chuck period.
In this matter, the United States did not object, and Locke reluctantly nodded and agreed after seeing that the United States agreed. There is no way, a weak country has no diplomacy, and he is really clear about this matter now.
Now that the relationship with China has been completely stiffened, what he needs to do after that is to hug the thigh of the United States as much as possible. Otherwise, if even the United States is annoyed, as James said.
With the land of the Rock Kingdom, it is really a fool's dream to block the two countries with the most military strength in the world today.
The handover procedures for the oil well were completed quickly. After all, the handover object this time is the Chinese government, even though Locke is not very willing to give up such a large oil well. But compared to offending China and losing the blessing of the United States at the same time, just an oil well is really nothing.
The peacekeeping troops sent by the United States also arrived two days before the handover was completed. And the barracks where they are located is the location of the barracks where the Chinese peacekeeping troops were located.
Things are people, and when Yang Xiaotian passed by there for the last time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When returning to the oil well from the camp where the former Chinese peacekeepers were stationed and now the American peacekeepers, Yang Xiaotian and Chen Jiu were attacked. This attack came from the actions of several die-hard elements involved in Cricks, because the number of people involved in their actions was relatively small, and the weapons used were only simple pistols, so neither Yang Xiaotian nor Chen Jiu were completely unaware of it.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a wound on Chen Jiu's body, I'm afraid the two of them would still have no way to detect it.
After all, the other party used a pistol, and it was added with a silencer. Plus their patience is very good, in the previous time, they have not been exposed to murderous aura. And it wasn't until Chen Jiu and Yang Xiaotian passed by them and turned their backs to them that they suddenly pulled out their guns and shot.
"Be careful!" With an exclamation and a muffled snort, a figure fell to the ground, and at the same time, a blood mark appeared on Chen Jiu's body.
"Leizi?" There was such a big movement behind him, if Yang Xiaotian couldn't notice it, then the training he had done before would be regarded as feeding the dogs.
Since the other party has already done it, and it is directly using the gun, it is clear that he wants to kill them directly. For this kind of person, Yang Xiaotian will naturally not be polite.
But there were six or seven people on the other side, and although Yang Xiaotian could deal with so many people, it was really a little difficult to block so many people at the same time.
And the four people fought around Yang Xiaotian, not seeking to win, but only to delay him, and at the same time, the remaining few people bypassed Yang Xiaotian's body and rushed directly towards Chen Jiu.
"Don't!" Zhao Lei let out a low sigh, endured the pain of being kicked, got up from the ground, and threw himself on a person again. He has been following Chen Jiu, but he has been following silently. If he hadn't seen the people behind Chen Jiu and Yang Xiaotian suddenly pull out their guns, he would definitely not have appeared.
When he saw a few people pulling out their guns, Zhao Lei did not hesitate, and while reminding him loudly, he directly pounced on one person, if it wasn't for this time to disrupt the rhythm of the other party, I'm afraid Chen Jiu would be dead now.
However, he was kicked in the stomach.
Playing hard may not be successful, especially when the difference in strength between the two sides is not small. Zhao Lei was quickly subdued, and seeing that he had been dishonest, a mercenary unceremoniously shot him through the head with a bullet.
Zhao Lei's death stimulated Yang Xiaotian, and the gunfire attracted the surrounding American peacekeeping troops, and soon these people were subdued, and when Yang Xiaotian went to check, he found that Zhao Lei was out of breath.
Avrezi was taken away by Yang Xiaotian, the child's adoptive parents in the Locke Kingdom, and after Chuck died, he was secretly sent by Lola to kill him.
She knew that if these two people died, according to Yang Xiaotian's character, Afreqi would definitely be taken away.
In fact, she was right, Yang Xiaotian found out that Avrezi's adoptive parents died in the "war", although he was a little reluctant in his heart, but in the end, he still chose to return to China with Avrezi.
And after the plane flew over the palace of the Rock Kingdom, in the palace, a shadow looked at the plane that was gradually disappearing with complicated eyes.
This person is naturally Belsi. Although Lola is dead, Chuck is dead, and Avrezi is gone, Beles did not choose to give up her mission and followed Yang Xiaotian back to China.
Yang Xiaotian has her in his heart, but it is not that kind of feeling.
Yang Xiaotian actually had that kind of idea about Bi Ersi in his heart, after all, Bi Ersi's posture, even if it is a simple walk, can reveal infinite attraction to men.
And the man chases the woman across the mountain, and the woman chases the man across the veil.
Bi'er Si took the initiative to pursue passionately, and Yang Xiaotian was a little tempted in his heart.
But after all, from the moment Bi Ersi stabbed Wang Jingyun, Yang Xiaotian realized that this beautiful girl was just a sixteen-year-old girl after all.
What she does is more biased towards her personal preferences and emotional changes. Although I have to admit that Biersi far surpasses her peers in heart and figure, she is really just a child after all.
For such a child who likes himself, Yang Xiaotian can only treat her as an ignorant little sister at most.
And this point is now clear to Belsi.
Although until the end, Yang Xiaotian did not guess James's identity, but what does it matter?
Some things, knowing them, are not necessarily good.
When they came, there were more than 2,000 people, and together with the additional peacekeeping troops that were sent one after another, China sent a total of nearly 10,000 troops. But now there are only a few dozen people left.
War is the meat grinder of life. Human life is the least valuable thing in war.
