Chapter 8 (Playing) The Man Who Plays Chess
The train stopped steadily, and the soldiers of the opposite military train immediately jumped out of the car and surrounded the carriages of Zhan Tianya and others, Zhan Tianya did not panic, just sat on the edge of the train, Kalam jumped out of the car, and walked straight towards the helicopter.
The helicopter hatch finally opened, and out of it came an old man with gray sideburns, a wrinkled face, and half-squinted eyes, wearing a beret and a jungle camouflage uniform, and two soldiers also walked towards this side.
"General Helga!" Kalam immediately stood up and saluted.
General Helga didn't have to look at him directly, and passed him directly, while the two soldiers who were following him stopped on either side of Kalam, unloaded his weapons, and took control of him.
"General Helga!" Kalam was crushed to the ground by the soldiers, still struggling, and then the soldiers stepped on him and pointed a gun to his head, and the commandos surrounding the train were dumbfounded, wondering what was going on.
"Get out of here!" General Helga stepped forward, waved his hand and ordered all the soldiers to retreat and return to the train, while opening his arms towards Zhan Tianya, "Director Zhan, long time no see." β
The two hugged each other tightly, and General Helga hugged Zhan Tianya vigorously and patted him on the back: "I'm offended, I just learned about this matter, and I came immediately, but fortunately it wasn't too late." β
"It's okay." Zhan Tianya also smiled, "General Helga's body is also very tough, and he should be strong when he gets old!" β
"You can say it all good." General Helga shook his head and said, "It was a good thing, because that idiot became like this...... I hope that this will not damage the relations between our two countries, as well as with the Asia-Europe forces. β
"No, it won't. No, it's just a trifle. Zhan Tianya said with a smile, Tang Shuxing and the others couldn't help but look at the damaged train when they heard this, as well as the two cyborgs paralyzed there, the loss here was at least more than 10 million US dollars......
General Helga and Zhan Tianya walked side by side along the railroad tracks in opposite directions, not knowing what Lu Dao was saying, but both of them were laughing, which made Karam, who was restrained in the distance, very puzzled, and did not struggle anymore, just looked at the two in the distance.
"General Helga is a general in the Indian Army. In their army. Helga was known as the first general, almost as much as a marshal, and he controlled the entire Indian army. Liu Zhenming explained on the side, "It's an old fox." Very smart. Powerful. Even the president of India has to rely on him. β
"The army general is in charge of the army of the whole country?" Tang Shuxing asked puzzled.
Liu Zhenming said with a smile: "His son is the Minister of National Defense, and he has long since retired, in our domestic terms." is to retire and be rehired by the army, because many of the following senior military officials are Helga's protΓ©gΓ©s, but this guy is smart, absolutely does not meddle in business, there are no economic problems, so politicians have nothing to do with him, in that regard, the Helga family has no stains and handles, he is a natural strategist and has participated in two Indo-Pakistani wars. β
Tang Shuxing nodded in a sudden realization, while Ji Kefeng and Gu Huaiyi looked at Kalam who was being pressed in the distance, and then looked at the commando soldiers on the opposite side, many soldiers were covered in cold sweat, and those with a little brain knew that there was no good result in this matter.
In the distance, General Helga walked slowly, and when he saw Zhan Tianya lighting a cigarette, he also took the initiative to find a lighter, and said at the same time: "Director Zhan, I hope this incident really did not affect our relationship." β
"No, don't worry." Zhan Tianya smoked a cigarette, still smiling.
"I'm also struggling." General Helga said with a sad face, "You also know that India is sandwiched between Shandu and the Eurasian forces, and the United States is constantly putting pressure on us, if this continues, even if we are not annexed, we can only become a vassal country, we have no strength to compete with Shangdu, their corpse army is too terrible, and we are also worried that they will use the same methods to deal with us against the United States, once our army is controlled, we will not be able to return to the sky." β
Zhan Tianya nodded: "What are the general's plans?" β
Hull took a deep breath: "It's not that I have any plans, it's a problem with the president and Congress, although I now control the army on the surface and don't let them mess around, but many years ago, those tongue-chewing politicians trained a large number of young Zhuang officers in the army in order to restrain me, and Kalam is one of them, they are very radical, they think that what they are doing is to save the country, they don't look too far ahead, and they want to solve everything by absolute force, I am worried that if this continues, the president will sooner or later turn to Shangdu." β
Zhan Tianya nodded, he understood, not sooner or later, it was India that had already turned to Shangdu now, otherwise he would not have arranged for Kalam to do this thing, fortunately, he also had more eyes, and asked the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs to contact Helga in advance, otherwise things would not have taken a turn for the better.
"But my old bones will do their best, I won't live long anyway." General Helga smiled, "Director Zhan, I love my motherland deeply, and I believe you are the same. β
Zhan Tianya nodded, and Helga felt out the cigarette, which was a signal.
Helga looked at the lighter in his hand and hesitated: "If one day, I mean, if there is a change in my country, I will stick to the same place, but my son and daughter ......"
"Don't worry!" Zhan Tianya nodded, "It's not a secret, you should also know that our people have already contacted your son Minister Carney, and have reached a consensus on some issues, and have drawn up a corresponding plan, before things change, we will find a way to take him away, but according to the Russian side, Minister Carney must form a government-in-exile in Russia, and the Asia-Europe forces will train troops that only belong to the government-in-exile to contain all those who have fled from India." β
Seeing Zhan Tianya say this, Helga lit a cigarette with confidence, and while taking a puff, a gunshot rang out in the distance - the suppressed Kalam was shot in the head by General Helga's personal guard.
"With your assurance, I'm relieved!" Helga laughed, "So, you and your friends take care all the way, I'm going to start fighting!" β
Saying that, Helga saluted Zhan Tianya, Zhan Tianya also immediately returned the salute, the two nodded silently, General Helga turned around and strode away, waving his hand to signal the soldiers of the Black Cat Commando to clean up Kalam's body. At the same time, it was announced that Kalam had died in the operation against Shandu and was an example in the army.
Zhan Tianya returned to the train and asked Liu Zhenming to start the train and go backwards in the direction of the canyon, and after they left, another military train headed in the opposite direction, and two armed helicopters also followed the train.
Seeing that the military column and the helicopter were getting farther and farther away, and finally couldn't see it, Zhan Tianya sat back in front of Tang Shuxing and the others, and felt out the smoke again: "This time the scene is very full, in order not to let you be completely exposed." That's the only option I have to do. β
"Shoot down our transport plane? Forcing us down this path with shelling? Tang Shuxing leaned to the side and said.
"That's right. It's all on purpose. Zhan Tianya nodded, "And the 'Wild Monkey Guerrillas' have long been in contact with us, if it weren't for us, in that place where birds don't." The more than 100 centaurs have long since died. It has always been us through Pakistan. Give them a steady stream of material resources, although the disputed area seems useless and barren. But they also need to be guarded by sentinels, they are the best sentinels, but now they don't need to, they have all withdrawn according to the agreement, I can also take you to follow them by the way, enter the territory of Pakistan, and the rest of the matter, you can solve it yourself. β
"You've calculated it again." Tang Shuxing approached Zhan Tianya, "You are very capable, we didn't know where to go before we set off, you can actually know Lu Dao?" β
Zhan Tianya smiled: "My intelligence network is very wide, so wide that you can't imagine it. β
"I see." Tang Shuxing gave a thumbs up, "It's impossible to describe it in words, but what do you need us to do?" You must have come here for more than one purpose, right? β
Gu Huaiyi was silent, and Ji Kefeng didn't interject, as if the matter had nothing to do with him at all, and he, the controller of the Shangdu New Adaptation Zone, was blind, deaf, and mute.
"I came for several purposes, in addition to solving the problem of the survival of the wild monkey guerrillas, and also to win over the non-surrendering factions in India, help them leave, form a government-in-exile, and use the wild monkey guerrillas as the basis to form their own army, which is one of our capitals in the future, although small." Zhan Tianya bit his cigarette holder, "There is also the elimination of the group of terrorists entrenched here, they will not die, I estimate that sooner or later they will be used by Shangdu, now I estimate that they are almost wiped out, the army of Pakistan is mixed with our people, combat effectiveness is not a problem, artillery and drone fixed-point attacks, coupled with carpet search and the guidance of wild monkey guerrillas, will make them completely evaporate in three days at most." β
"What else?" Tang Shuxing looked at Zhan Tianya.
"And then I want to ask you what you mean now." Liu Zhenming said on one side, "What is your goal now?" β
Tang Shuxing understood in his heart, Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng also understood, of course Zhan Tianya knew what happened to Lu Dao in the new adaptation area, he wanted to know what Lu Dao's plan was, why did he do those things, and were he ready to really follow Shang Du to do it? Or is it acting, acting in a fake play?
Of course Ji Kefeng will not answer this question, and Tang Shuxing doesn't want him to answer, he doesn't want him to be embarrassed, after all, he can't figure it out, what Tang Shuxing knows best at the moment is that he is still using himself, and the Asian and European forces are also using him, he can only move between the two, and at the same time, with the help of many forces, to consolidate the strength of the armed force that he let Tian Yehan build, his foundation is unstable, so he has no right to speak.
"What does Director Zhan want us to do?" Tang Shuxing said with a smile.
Zhan Tianya still smiled: "I hope you have justice in your hearts, that's all." β
"How is justice divided?" Tang Shuxing put away his smile, "Whether it is you, or Shangdu, have done bad things, have done good things, your propaganda to the outside world must be that the people of Shangdu have been oppressed and the territory of Southeast Asia has been invaded, although it is partially true, but Southeast Asia is now completely peaceful, and there is no more guerrilla attacks, and on your side, there is an accident in the Balkan Peninsula again, the war is ignited, and it is the common people who suffer, if this continues, the credibility of the Eurasian forces will be reduced, and Shangdu only needs to sit there and count the hearts of the people who have defected." β
Zhan Tianya smoked a cigarette and looked outside: "Yes, everyone is at fault, everyone has done good things, there is no absolute justice now, and there is no absolute evil, but the general direction is who human beings will choose in the future, or who will choose to let human beings survive, I probably understand what you mean, you can control it yourself, in short, don't play with fire and burn yourself." β
"Xie Lu, Director Xie Zhan." A smile appeared on Tang Shuxing's face again.
Zhan Tianya said again: "Also, the Russian side has intercepted the information that you are going to the Aral Sea, I can only advise you not to go, because it will soon become a war zone, of course, if you want to go, Russia can not interfere, you can turn a blind eye, provided that you help them and eliminate the danger in the country." β
"Huh?" Tang Shuxing didn't understand what it meant, "Dangerous potential? β
"Werewolves." Zhan Tianya took out a photo and threw it on the table...... (To be continued......)
