The Italian man who led the group looked to be in his thirties, with neat clothes, a well-groomed mustache, and a dark red beret with a sword and winged cockade on top of his head, and this one marked the crest of the Roman team in addition to the cockade to which he belonged to the army.

He wears a NATO tricolor camouflage, but has a national flag on his left shoulder, which represents the nationality of the visitor.

The expression was very grim and full of faction, although the rank of the epaulette proved that he was only a captain, but the faction looked like a general had come to inspect it.

At least in front of Andrew, this captain is more imposing than Andrew, the colonel.

"Colonel, my name is Renato. Alfano, with the rank of captain. ”

The Italian saluted, and then he stood in front of Andrew in a standard posture, at least more like a soldier than Andrew, who had a fat head and big ears.

Andrew returned a military salute, he looked at Renato in front of him with a suspicious face, and then he looked at the three soldiers behind Renato, and through the armbands on the soldiers' arms, he recognized the nationality of these three.

Andrew pointed to the other three people and said suspiciously, "Are they nationals?" ”

Renato glanced back, and then he said indifferently: "Oh yes, I heard that you are going back to Europa, and after I asked, they were willing to go home with me, so we left together." ”

Andrew still looked puzzled, and he whispered, "Do you have permission from the Governor of Cabul?" ”

Renato shrugged his shoulders, then he smiled and said, "Uh, about this, I'm Italy's liaison officer in NATO, I can end my current mission and go home at any time, in fact, I should have gone back a long time ago, only to be ruined by the damn aliens." ”

Andrew continued to frown, and then he pointed to the three Victors, "So do they have permission to leave?" Why just the four of you? ”

Renato smiled: "They ...... I'm in charge of escorting me, and I can't go on the road alone, Mr. Colonel, I don't think your focus is skewed? After all, it's time to think about how to get home. ”

Andrew let out a long exhale, then he touched his chin and said, "In other words, you are the only one who is stupid?" ”

"Yes, our army has finished its combat mission in Afuhan, and it has long since been withdrawn, and now I am the only one here, and I need protection, so it is not too much for me to find three soldiers who are willing to go home with me, right?"

Andrew thought for a moment, and he suddenly shouted to the three German soldiers who had just gotten out of the car: "Hey, you guys, can you speak English?" ”

The three Victors shook their heads together.

Andrew turned and shouted, "Come and translate for me for someone who speaks the language!" ”

Renato's face changed slightly, and then he said loudly, "Colonel, don't you want to ask me how I got here?" Don't you want to know what has become of Afuhan? ”

Andrew shook his head and whispered, "I care, but I would rather know what is going on, because when I contacted the commander of Cabul Air Force Base, he explicitly rejected the offer to evacuate with us." ”

Renato opened his arms, and then he said exaggeratedly: "Please, there are always people who understand, not everyone is so rigid and can't see the situation clearly, so they have to stay and die!" ”

At this moment, a German soldier came running quickly, he saluted Andrew, and then said sharply: "Sir, I can speak English, and of course I can speak." ”

Andrew pointed to the three soldiers who came with Renato and said, "Ask them what happened, why only the three of them came, and what happened on the way." ”

Renato said, "Sir, you can ask me. ”

Andrew didn't pay any attention to Renato, the German soldier asked his fellow countryman, they had a good conversation, and after a few words, the English-speaking German soldier said to Andrew: "Sir, they heard that we were going home, so they followed this Renato. Chief Alfano left together. ”

Andrew frowned and said, "Deserter? ”

The German soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Not deserters, because there is no order forbidding them to leave, and now the situation in Kabul is a mess." ”

Andrew pondered for a moment, and then he finally gave up on the question of whether Renato was a deserter or not.

"Ask them how they got here, if there was any fighting on the way, how they got so far to get here alive."

"Sir, there was no fighting on their way, but they were stopped by the locals many times, but each time it was the ...... Chief Alfano got the locals, and they had a smooth journey. ”

Andrew looked at Renato in some surprise, and Li Yang, who had been translating for Gao Yuan, was also a little surprised, as for Gao Yuan, he was simply very, very curious.

Afuhan is not peaceful, with just four people, from Kabul all the way to Kandaha, this is not something that anyone can do.

Andrew rubbed his finger under his chin for a long time, and then he finally said to Renato, "How did you do that?" ”

"It's very simple, just respect their customs, understand the needs of the locals, and we can be friends with anyone," Renato said. ”

Andrew immediately looked at the translator and said, "Ask them how they got here and why they don't have to fight." ”

Again, the German soldiers questioned their compatriots.

It can be seen that Andrew does not trust this Italian man, and he prefers to learn the truth from the mouths of the three German soldiers.

The interpreter quickly looked at Renato, and then he whispered: "Bribe, by paying a certain amount of supplies to the militants who intercepted in exchange for a safe passage, they encountered three interceptions along the way, but they all relied on this method to leave." ”

Andrew was surprised: "How is it possible! Didn't the militants know that by killing them they could take all the supplies, why would they choose to let them go when they got a small amount of them? ”

Renato coughed lightly twice, then he smiled, "Friendship, especially one based on long-term cooperation, Colonel, I don't think it's too much. ”

Andrew said in a low voice: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, you have used this trick before, you and those terrorists have made a private agreement to bribe them in exchange for them not to attack you, Fake, Yi Duli has already withdrawn his troops, and now you can still use this hand." ”

Renato tiptoed, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said with an innocent expression: "This will keep our soldiers from dying in distant Afuhan, Colonel, I just want to know now if you really want to take them home, otherwise, you should find out what my value is, instead of constantly trying to interrogate my friends to find out if I am a deserter, am I right?" ”
