Chapter 12: Posturing (Part II)

"U.S. military ......"

"We were our potential enemies, and we may be our enemies in the future, but now they are our allies, at least until we leave. Still have questions? ”

Zhan Pengfei shook his head, but he had a lot of questions.

"Go get your partner, I'll be waiting for you in the car."

When the two pilots got into the car, more than a dozen guards had already arrived with maintenance equipment and towed two J-20A fighters into the bunker vacated by the US military.

The rest was smooth sailing.

The U.S. military has set aside a special camp area for personnel from nine other countries to stay. There were 20 barracks allocated to China, one each for Zhang Xiaogang, Luo Jinyong, and Chu Tianjiang, one for two fighter pilots, and four for the rest of the personnel.

Don't look at Zhang Xiaogang, who is not afraid of the ground, but he is very meticulous, and the drinking water and food are sent by the transport plane.

The Y-20A has a maximum load capacity of 65 tons, and in addition to the equipment and materials for the maintenance of the fighter, it also carries 40 tons of other materials, including 10 tons of drinking water and food, which is enough for more than 50 people to use for three months. Chu Tianjiang felt that it was unnecessary, but Zhang Xiaogang insisted on bringing his own drinking water and food. In his words, even if the U.S. military does not dare to deal with them blatantly, it is difficult to guarantee that they will manipulate their diet. Some chronic poisons do not kill people immediately, but they can destroy the physiological functions of the human body and make people die in pain.

It was busy until late in the evening that the camp was arranged.

For safety reasons, Zhang Xiaogang had the agents on his entourage install individual air conditioners in each barracks and use electronic equipment to detect toxic substances in the air.

Dinner, naturally prepared by the accompanying chef.

The dishes are not hearty, but very tasty.

Because there was nothing to do at night, Zhang Xiaogang brought two bottles of Erguotou, saying that it was to wash the dust for himself and celebrate his safe arrival in Diego Garcia.

"Lao Zhang, what did you do before?" The more he learned about Zhang Xiaogang, the more curious Chu Tianjiang became.

"Before?"

"Before joining Military Intelligence." Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Chu Tianjiang decided to investigate Zhang Xiaogang's details and gain an in-depth understanding of this mysterious senior agent.

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Say it, I'm afraid you won't believe it." ”

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Before, I was a very famous thug."

"Just blow it."

"I told you, you wouldn't believe it."

"The gangsters are still famous?"

"It depends on what kind of thug it is. After my debut, I have followed several bosses, and I can be regarded as a small person with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes. ”

"And then?"

"When I was eighteen years old, I was sentenced to ten years for the crime of the boss."

"How is that possible!?"

"The most important thing I lack is luck. If it were someone else, I'm afraid this life would be over. It didn't take long for the boss who was to blame me to commit a big crime and confess all the crimes. ”

"You're innocent, and you're released?"

"No, people like me, no one cares at all."

"And what about your luck?"

"The key is here, as the saying goes, creation makes people. When I was about to despair, Yuan Dezhi came to the door and offered to let me work for the Military Intelligence Bureau. ”

"To clear your name?"

"Innocence!?" Zhang Xiaogang smiled and shook his head, "Yuan Dezhi gave me a new identity, let me change my mind and be a new person." ”

"Your name is not Zhang Xiaogang?"

"This is my fourth name, and I can't remember what the first three names were."

"Blow again."

"If you don't believe it, forget it, I really want to brag to you, and I promise to make you believe it."

"Major, don't listen to him." Luo Jinyong knocked on the table, and it seemed that he was also drunk. "This guy, none of the ten sentences are true."

"Professor, you're not right to say that. We've known each other for two years, I promise ......."

"Promise you're telling the truth?"

"No!" Zhang Xiaogang shook his outstretched index finger, "I can guarantee that at least one of the ten words I said to you is true." ”

"Fart!"

"Farts don't count."

Luo Jinyong laughed and said, "Major, this guy is a leper dog who is not afraid of being hot." ”

"Professor, you can't say that about me."

"Are you not afraid of being hot, or are you a leper dog?"

"I'll admit, I'm really thick-skinned. In our line of work, the first thing to exercise is the skin, and the etiquette and shame have to be put aside. But I do fear heat, and the most fearful thing in my life is fire. The doctor said I had a phobia of fire and underwent five years of psychotherapy for it. ”

"Blow again, I have a fear of heights, a phobia of water, a phobia of food, I haven't heard of a phobia of fire."

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean you don't. Two years ago, who had heard that there were extraterrestrial civilizations in the solar system? Now the facts are in front of us, and we cannot help but believe it. ”

"Yes, no one wants to believe until the end comes." Luo Jinyong was a little sad.

"Lao Zhang, tell me about your past." Chu Tianjiang opened the topic, so as not to spoil the atmosphere.

"What's the matter?"

"It must be not easy for you to become a commissioner, you have done a lot of earth-shattering things before, right?"

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Old Chu, now is not the time to talk about these things. Besides, this is Yankee's territory, and if you let Yankees know about it, I'm afraid it will affect you. I'm not afraid you won't believe me, but my head is worth a lot of money to the Yankees. ”

"So, you've done a lot of things that the Yankees hate?" Chu Tianjiang was not worried that the partition wall had ears, because before moving in, the accompanying agents carefully inspected all the barracks, and also installed anti-eavesdropping equipment in the barracks where Chu Tianjiang and the three of them lived.

"It's not a lot, just one, but one is enough."

"Which one?"

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "You really want to know the Dao?" ”

"If you like to talk, you can say it, and if you don't say it, you will pull it down."

"Okay, I'll tell you when we leave Diego Garcia." Zhang Xiaogang yawned and said, "This incident happened three years ago and almost caused my country to break off diplomatic relations with the United States. If you've been watching the news on TV a lot, you've probably seen it all the time. ”

Chu Tianjiang frowned, he didn't have the habit of watching TV news.

"Actually, the professor's past is even more exciting."

"Really?"

Luo Jinyong lay on the table and seemed to be asleep.

"This guy, don't look at him as polite and polite, his stomach is full of bad water." Zhang Xiaogang touched Luo Jinyong with his elbow to confirm that Luo Jinyong was asleep, and then said, "Two years ago, when I found him, he was entangled by three big-bellied women. ”

"Won't it?"

"Don't believe me, I don't say anything I said. The three girls all said that the child in the womb was his seed and asked him to be responsible for the child. ”

"Forcing him to get married?"

"Married? It's that simple. None of the three are fuel-efficient lamps, in fact, they are all for money, and at least two of them are not directly related to him. ”

"How did you deal with it?"

"The most effective way to deal with these girls is to intimidate. When I revealed my identity, the two who had nothing to do to find trouble took the initiative to retreat, and the other took the money and promised not to trouble Luo Jinyong again. Not long after, she married an unlucky ghost and gave birth to a son. ”

"Luo Jinyong's son?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "For this matter, I spent a lot of effort and did a paternity test, which is indeed Luo Jinyong's species." ”

"You didn't tell him?"

"Is this necessary?" Zhang Xiaogang took out a cigarette, "When this matter was investigated, the professor was already the chief scientific adviser of my country. If it were you, would you tell him? ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, but he felt that he would make the same decision.

"Don't look at his usual infinite scenery, to tell you the truth, among the three of us, his experience is the most tortuous and the psychological trauma is the most serious."

"Really?"

"You don't have to take my words, I'm not drunk yet, and with the amount of alcohol you drink, you may not be able to get me drunk." Zhang Xiaogang took two puffs of cigarette and said, "Let the professor tell you about the past." If you have the ability, let him pour out his bitterness on you. ”

"How's that kid?"

"It's almost kindergarten, and we've been secretly monitoring the protection. Anyway, he is the son of Luo Jinyong. If the professor learns about this one day, we must give him an explanation. For anyone, children are the greatest concern and sustenance. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly, Zhang Xiaogang's last sentence made him deeply moved.

"Lao Chu, you are the same."

"Me?"

"Want to hear my advice?"

"A dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled disapprovingly and said, "If we are still alive in three months, you should find a suitable partner, such as Xiao Fangfang, and form your own family." When you have children, you will understand that people live in the world, and raising children to grow up is the greatest achievement. ”

"You're married?"

"Nope."

"Do you have children?"

"Nope."

"Then why are you giving me advice?"

"That's my advice to myself, too." Zhang Xiaogang extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "If I can live until next year, I will definitely leave the Military Intelligence Bureau, marry a beautiful wife, and have a lot of children." If I could live a few more decades, I would also like to have a whole bunch of grandchildren. ”

"You should immigrate to India, or some Arab country."

"For what?"

"If you're Indian, you can marry four wives, whereas in some Arab countries, as long as you can afford it, you can marry as many wives as you want."

"That's a good suggestion."

"You just keep dreaming." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If I can live for a few more decades, I just want to raise Wu Guoxiong as an adult and make my life more exciting." ”

"People have ambitions. It's not early, I have to get up early tomorrow and go to bed. ”

Carrying Luo Jinyong to the bed, the two went back to their respective barracks.

Zhang Xiaogang is also an ordinary person, but he has different ideals from ordinary people. As he said, being strong on the outside is not the same as being strong on the inside.

Everyone has weaknesses!
