Chapter 888: The Chiefs Dare to Deceive
It is not difficult to understand what General Zheng meant.
If Wei Laoshi was indeed in Huaxia, James would definitely be stripped of all his positions immediately, and the bet between him and General Zheng that did not fall on paper would naturally be invalidated.
James is confident that he will win the bet and that there will be no dismissal.
Don't look at how much prejudice he has against Simmons, but one thing cannot be denied: Simmons' military and intelligence capabilities are absolutely trustworthy.
Since Simmons concluded that the Qianlong Fourth Team was in Buffalo, and the AI analysis also proved that person was Wei Laoshi, then Wei Laoshi would definitely not be in Huaxia.
But in the same way, General Zheng will also be removed from office if he loses the bet, and the bet between the two will also be invalidated.
And the new leader of Qianlong still won't admit that the Qianlong Fourth Team is in the United States, and can even slowly accompany him to fight a saliva lawsuit, but on the other hand, he quietly asked the Qianlong Fourth Team to return to China immediately.
Although the Black Sailor has a chestnut god in his hands, there is still a way to extort some benefits from the hidden dragon, but the credit will go to Simmons, and he has been removed from his post because of the loss of profits for the United States due to the failure of the negotiations.
James was stunned to find that no matter which outcome it was, he could not escape the fate of being removed, and was dumbfounded.
"James, why don't you speak? When you depart, I'm ready to receive you. β
General Zheng's voice woke James up, he forced his composure, and said: "General Zheng, in your Huaxia words, the Ming people don't talk in secret, where the Fourth Qianlong Team is, you and I are very clear, don't play this kind of word game anymore." For your unauthorized ......"
"Stop, stop," General Zheng interrupted James repeatedly, "If you don't want to continue the gambling contract just now, then I'll still say the same thing, give me evidence, the evidence of the Qianlong Four in the United States." β
"Isn't this video evidence yet?" James circled back the conversation.
"Of course not, I've already said it, Wei Jia is in the capital now, as long as you fly over and make a note with me, I will let him appear in front of you immediately." General Zheng said.
"You know that this is impossible, Wei can't be in Huaxia, and the Qianlong Fourth Team can't be in Huaxia, they are all in the United States!" James said angrily.
"James, let me say it one last time, either you fly over now, or bring what you think is the Hidden Dragon Four Team to me, if you can't do any of them, there is no need for us to talk about it, and this is the end of today's call."
After speaking, General Zheng stood up, waved his hand at the camera, and interrupted the video call.
"Fack!"
James was so angry that he grabbed his phone and smashed it to the ground, and then went up and stepped on it twice.
The Blackwater's specially customized mobile phone could withstand the rain of bullets but could not withstand James's abuse, and the screen shattered in the groans of pain.
Compared with the angry James, General Zheng is much calmer.
Although he took the initiative to hang up the video call, he didn't leave immediately, sat on the chair and pondered for a few minutes, and shouted, "Xiao Zhang, come in." β
The door was pushed open, and a young man walked in, it was Zhang Ye, the new secretary who succeeded Qu Qiang.
"Chief, what are your instructions?"
"Contact me Dewey."
"Chief, please wait a moment."
Zhang Ye quickly contacted Dewey, although he had never dealt with Dewey, but he also knew that Dewey was very valued by General Zheng, and said politely: "Captain Du, I am Zhang Ye, the chief has something, is it convenient now?" β
"Hello Secretary Zhang, I am safe now, and I can report to the chief at any time." Dewey replied.
"Then I'll give the phone to the chief."
Zhang Ye handed the phone to General Zheng and said in a low voice, "Captain Du is safe now. β
General Zheng nodded, took the phone and asked directly, "Dewey, how is your deployment over there?" β
"Report chief, everything is going well at the moment, if nothing happens, there should be results within three days." Dewey replied.
"Three days, it's not a short time," General Zheng sighed, "Just now, James from Blackwater talked to me, and he also took out a video, which is a clip of Wei Jia unintentionally exposed to the camera, and they also used AI analysis technology to judge that it is Wei Jia, and it is likely to increase the search for you next." β
"Thank you, Chief, for reminding you, we'll be extra careful." Dewey replied.
"It's not enough to be careful, I suggest that you better shift your positions and leave the United States from other cities, and don't have to break through at Buffalo."
It was a suggestion, but General Zheng's tone was firm, indicating that it was actually an order.
"Chief, we have also considered, but the US side has imposed a tight blockade on Buffalo, and it is more difficult to leave Buffalo than to cross the border to Canada, so we still choose the road from Buffalo to Canada, and our plan is ......"
Dewey talked about the battle plan on the phone, and General Zheng listened carefully and word for word until he finished speaking.
"The feasibility of the solution is very high. You are on the front line, and you are the ones who know the situation best, so I will not command remotely, but you must remember that today is not the same as in the past, and safety comes first. β
"Please rest assured that we will keep in mind the chief's instructions, put security first, and never let the US side get the hang of it." Dewey immediately assured.
"Whether they catch the handle or not is secondary, the important thing is that each of you comes back safely, I am waiting in the capital to catch the wind for you." General Zheng said.
"Thank you, Chief. Do you have any other instructions? β
"No, you go get busy."
General Zheng hung up the phone, pinched his chin and said, "Xiao Zhang, Dewey's answer is very good, but why do I feel that something is wrong?" β
"If you care, it's chaotic, the chief cares too much about the four teams of the hidden dragons." Zhang Ye next to him said with a smile.
"It's not a matter of concern," General Zheng waved his hand, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "I know something is wrong, Dewey's attitude is wrong, this is not his usual tone of speech!" β
General Zheng and Dewey have not known each other for a day or two, and they are still his key training objects, so it can be said that they know Dewey very well.
Although Dewey treated him with respect every time they met, he would not say clichΓ©s such as "keep in mind the instructions of the chief."
"It sounds like he's perfunctory to me, yes, it's perfunctory!"
General Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Xiao Zhang, let people check immediately, there is something abnormal on the Buffalo side!" β
"Chief, are you worried that something has happened to Captain Du?" Zhang Ye asked in surprise.
"It's probably something happened, otherwise Dewey wouldn't have spoken like that, he's perfunctory to me, he's in a hurry to end the call, he's covering up something, something we don't know! Also, James should know very well that just taking a video out is not enough for me to admit that the Qianlong Four team is in the United States, so he still negotiated with me, indicating that he must have other cards in his hand, but it is inconvenient to take them out. β
General Zheng has been in Qianlong for many years, and his strategic thinking is by no means comparable to others, and he linked two seemingly unrelated things together, and soon deduced that something had happened to the Fourth Qianlong team.
Zhang Ye didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went down to arrange for people to go to Buffalo to investigate the situation.
After more than ten minutes, he returned to General Zheng and said, "Chief, I have already contacted the intelligence department, but Buffalo is not an important city, and they have not arranged manpower there, so they can only find out through other channels, and I am afraid that we will not be able to get results in a short time." β
Qianlong does not have a liaison station in the United States, and all information must be obtained by the intelligence department.
General Zheng nodded understandingly: "It's good for them to do their best." β
"Chief, in fact, I think that if Captain Du is really hiding something, it is better to ask him directly." Zhang Ye suggested.
General Zheng waved his hand and said, "You don't know the person Dewey, since he has made up his mind to hide it from me, he will definitely not tell me the truth, unless I throw the truth in his face." β
Zhang Ye suddenly understood why General Zheng valued Dewey so much, because both of them have a common characteristic, which is called firm-willed if it is good, and hard to say that it is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and it was the same when General Zheng and James had a video call just now.
Of course, he only dared to hide these words in his heart, but he said: "Chief, it's not too early, you better rest early." β
"What are you resting on, I can't sleep again until the results come out." General Zheng said.
"Then I'll go to the intelligence department again." Zhang Ye said.
"Urging or not, time is everything now." General Zheng agreed.
Under Zhang Ye's repeated urging, the intelligence department finally got the result within two hours, and Zhang Ye was shocked after reading it, and hurriedly ran to report to General Zheng.
"Chief, according to intelligence sources, there was an armed breach in Buffalo three days ago, and someone used force to break through the defenses set up by the police at the U.S.-Canada border crossing and enter Canada. If nothing else, it should be Captain Du and they did it. β
When General Zheng's face changed drastically when he heard this, he stood up and said, "It's not good, someone has been captured!" β
"Captured? This, it's impossible, the four teams of the hidden dragons ......"
"Nothing is impossible!" General Zheng interrupted Zhang Ye's words, "The Fourth Qianlong Team has left the United States but killed a horse pistol, which means that there is something very important there, and in this case, the most important thing is that someone has been captured." β
"But chief, according to the rules of battle, shouldn't you give up?" Zhang Ye asked puzzled.
"The generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it, not to mention a battle rule, it has not happened before," General Zheng sat back, "The question now is, who is the prisoner, where is he being held, and is it possible to rescue him?" Xiao Zhang, contact Dewey for me again, this kid even dares to lie to me, I have to clean him up when I come back! β
