Chapter 497: Be open and honest with Smith

There was not a single person in the river, but there were many people, the other party found Xu Ziling and their car, and immediately became vigilant, looking at the movements of several of them, presumably with guns, Xu Ziling They were a little curious about the work of panning for gold or diamonds, but in order to avoid misunderstanding, a few people did not go over, so they found a shady place to rest, saw that those people were gold diggers, and then left.

Whether it is the events in the village or the gold diggers they see, they are just passers-by in life, feeling the hardships and difficulties of their lives, but they do not have much compassion.

Returning to Felik, they suddenly became unrealistic again, and learned that it would take half a month for the delivery ship to arrive, so they didn't stay any longer, and decided to return to China first, and come back when necessary.

"Can you really handle the 'Patriot' system? If we can, we'll go back first. ”

Although Smith repeatedly emphasized that he would install the "Patriot" air defense system, Xu Ziling was still a little skeptical, and did not forget to confirm it when he left.

"No problem!"

Smith emphasized again, a little annoyed by Xu Ziling's distrustful tone.

“OK! OK! Xu Ziling spread his hands, and then made an apologetic look, "Then you help us book a ticket, we want to fly directly, I don't want to transfer flights." ”

There is only one direct flight a week from Netan to the domestic flight, and the rest are flights to transfer, those flights turn around, almost half the world, and the waiting time to arrive at the airports of various countries is long, not to mention, there are various procedures to be done, it takes a few days to be able to return to China, although they have only come for a few days, and want to take a direct flight back, they have to wait for a few days, but it is better than wasting a few days on the plane.

The next morning, Smith told the group that the tickets were booked in two days.

So after two days of playing in Felik, they took a flight to China that morning.

The flight is not a direct flight to Star City, but Zhonghai, more than ten hours later to arrive in Zhonghai, the airport has no flights to Star City, check the train, found that there is exactly one after an hour, so several people rushed to the train station non-stop, and returned to Star City overnight.

Returning to Star City, it represents the work that cannot be done every day, "Flying Eagle", "Eagle Eye" and other projects, as well as the battleships of Jiangnan Factory, although he does not need to be present in person, but there are some problems that cannot be solved by the people below, or he can only have to answer them, and it will take him part of his time to understand the progress of these projects every day.

After more than a week like this, he received a call from Smith.

On the phone, Smith triumphantly said that the goods had arrived, and that they were all set up under his command.

Getting this news, to be honest, Xu Ziling was quite surprised. The goods arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago, he knew what to do, Fan Yi got the news, and called him as soon as he could, because Smith said that he could handle the follow-up things, Xu Ziling did not rush to ask Smith, but thought that when he couldn't handle it, he would take the initiative to contact him.

But I didn't expect that just looking at the guy who got it once, he actually installed these things.

"I didn't see it!" Xu Ziling teased with a smile, "Then you can change your career to become a technical engineer in the future." ”

"That's it!"

Smith was obviously too proud, and he didn't think about being modest, and he immediately affirmed Xu Ziling's words, as if he was really a senior technical engineer.

On the fourth day after the contact, Smith came back from Africa, and also brought back 1.6 billion US dollars - according to the agreement, the rest of the transaction was traded with diamonds, in fact, Netan and Smith also traded like this, but before Smith told Xu Ziling that he had a channel to sell diamonds, Xu Ziling did not let him bring it back to China, but directly let him turn it into cash, and he went to France after the transaction was completed, and sold the diamond, of course, there was no ambiguity in the price, That's $100 million more than the budget price of Netan.

Originally, it was said that every time Smith completed a transaction, he would have a certain commission, but at this time, it was the time when the military factory needed funds, and Xu Ziling was not ready to give it to him now, and said that he owed it first, even if he sent him away.

Smith doesn't care, it's not that he doesn't like money, but he knows that Xu Ziling's previous hundreds of millions have been given happily, and he won't give him this little money, and besides, they have a lot of money in their hands now, and they are not in a hurry to use it, it doesn't matter when they take it, of course, the most important thing is that their team is very grateful to Xu Ziling now, thinking that they can get rid of the mercenaries, it is completely the credit of Xu Ziling, and it is also appropriate to help him do something, not to mention that they owe it first, even if they don't give it, they have no opinion.

Human nature is like this, I think Smith thought that there was nothing bad about being a mercenary, but after having money, they felt that the mercenary job was not easy to do, and they had the heart of retreat, although they may not be able to adapt to the ordinary life, but they didn't feel that they needed to do it at all, just take on such a small task once or twice a year and enjoy it, they are all rich people, there is no need to do too dangerous things, Xu Ziling's arrangement can be said to be right in their hearts, so they are very grateful to Xu Ziling.

Foreigners also know how to be grateful!

If Xu Ziling knew what they thought, he would definitely say so.

"How's your handover going in the Middle East?" Xu Ziling suddenly remembered the matter in the Middle East and asked casually.

After talking to Smith in Nitan before, I never inquired about this matter again, and I have always asked them to communicate with the intelligence department, and I really don't know some of the things in it.

"I've left them with all the right channels." Smith now looks like a successful businessman, with a crisp suit, shiny leather shoes, and a big cigar in his hand to take a puff from time to time, and after answering Xu Ziling, he remembered something again, and said to him again: "By the way, the personnel on the Syrian side have changed, not Xuanyuan and them, but all the people we don't know." ”

"Oh."

Xu Ziling was not too surprised by this news, when they were over there last year, Xuanyuan mentioned that he might be transferred back to China, but then there was a small accident, and their transfer was delayed, but there was no contact for a while, and he really didn't know that Lu Dao would be transferred back to China during this time.

"Then the brothers down there are all back?"

"Two more were in Netan, and the rest came back with me. But I didn't let them come to you, they went straight home. ”

Smith is still the first time to come to the military factory, the reason why he hasn't been here before, in fact, it's not that Xu Ziling didn't let him come, but he always didn't have time for these reasons, so he didn't talk to him, but Smith has been in contact with this country for two years, and he understands some ways of doing things, but he is not very proficient, but he thinks that their identity is a problem, Xu Ziling doesn't want them to come over, this time he comes back with the members of the team, and he didn't say this problem in the phone call with Xu Ziling before, so he simply let those people go home, He came to the military factory alone.

"You should have called them along."

Xu Ziling unconsciously knocked on the table with his fingers and said to Smith.

He is also a big person, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, he really didn't have much chance before, and he didn't think about these problems, at this time, he heard Smith say that he came back together, but let the others go back first, he immediately understood Smith's thoughts, but he thought that he didn't explicitly say anything about this, Smith is really not good at agreeing, after all, in their own opinion, their group of people is different from their own people after all.

In the past two years of getting along, Xu Ziling has observed the words and deeds of all of them in Smith, and he has also used the opportunity to hook up with him, so that the lion has probed their thinking, and he does not feel that there is anything abnormal, the experienced spy can not show his feet in words and deeds, but he believes that it is impossible for anyone to control their own thinking, and the lion exists, no one can think of it, he can't think of anyone who can avoid the silent invasion of the lion, and he naturally believes in the conclusion reached by the lion. So there's never anything that doesn't trust Smith and their team.

They are not the kind of people who care about politics and the country, and now their families have a superior living environment, and their income is not cheap, not to mention that compared to before, their tasks have not changed, and their personal freedom has not been restricted, and they have to live a more nourishing life than before, if there are really people who want to be spies, it is stupid.

"To be honest, my methods were not very good at the beginning, but after you came, you also saw what I did, and I didn't treat you as outsiders, of course, what you did, I and the people above also saw it, and you should understand what it did to you." After thinking about it, Xu Ziling said again, "I don't say some things, but you can make ideas, you should understand that we are all buddies." ”

Smith They have a direct department above them that is responsible for managing them, but because they are Xu Ziling "persecuted" Zhao'an, in fact, most of the time Xu Ziling or Yang Kaiming and Li Chenglai contact them, and no one else has Xu Ziling's ability, and they are still a little worried about the identity of Smith and these people, so they have never given them an attitude positively, and Smith They also understand that their identity is destined for their current situation, so both sides have a tacit understanding that they have never mentioned this kind of thing.

It was the first time that Xu Ziling had expressed his thoughts so openly and honestly.

For Smith, identity is always a problem for them, although life is good now, and no one looks at them with other eyes, but in their hearts, they have always had this thought: they used to be the identity of the United States, and they are destined not to be accepted into contact with this state secret.

It's like a military factory, like a tactical watch, if Xu Ziling doesn't bring it up, they will definitely not take the initiative to ask for it, so this time he will let the other team members go back instead of coming over.

"So be it!" Xu Ziling didn't wait for what Smith would say, he paused slightly, and continued: "You don't have anything to do during this time, just bring your family over to play, it's good for everyone to get to know each other, and if you spend more time in China in the future, and there are many places to play, it should be regarded as a trip." ”
