Chapter 213: Negotiations begin
"So be it! If you want to shake hands with Benjamin, I'll make a phone call with Benjamin tomorrow and arrange a time with him to meet him privately, and you will come with me to meet him. Councillor Roger thought for a long time and finally agreed to help.
Li Qingcang and the three of them glanced at each other, their faces showed joy, and their hearts were all stoned.
Councilor Roger saw that several people were happy, and said to the captain: "Colonel, I have only heard that you are not afraid of the powerful, and you always fight against your superiors for the unfair treatment of your subordinates in the army, it seems that I have underestimated your courage.
"I didn't expect you to even dare to offend the FBI in order to avenge your subordinates, I don't know whether to say that you value love and righteousness or don't know whether to live or die. I would like to advise you, don't forget that you are an American soldier, and that your ability to defeat the enemy should not be used against your own people.
"In general, you and Benjamin are doing the right thing, and I agreed to your request out of the desire not to expand the matter further.
"I hope you will calm down in the future, as a mercenary organization, it is best to find out the background of the target person when accepting the mission, and don't make this kind of reputation against your own family. If the state apparatus really comes to deal with you, no matter how strong the iron and blood is, it will not be able to deal with it! ”
"Thank you for your help, I see!" The captain lowered his head and said, it was difficult for him to be iron-clad, and he also had soft words.
"Most of the people I helped you are out of public interest, and you won't be able to make good money on both sides, and the iron and blood will disappear for sure.
"But if you bold guys get rid of one, I'm sure Benjamin will have trouble sleeping, so you don't have to thank me. But selfishness does exist, and if it weren't for these two little guys, I wouldn't have bothered to deal with the FBI. Councillor Roger spoke.
"Thank you, Uncle Roger, I knew you would!" Catherine thanked her happily.
"Thank you, thank you? Next time! You have to persuade your captain more, this temper, no wonder he can't get along in the army, he is not a big official! But for my appetite.
"Colonel, accompany me for a drink tonight, let's have a good chat, it's definitely not a loss to be friends with people like you, you live here these days, I will contact Benjamin as soon as possible." Councillor Roger said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the captain, Li Qingcang, accompanied Councillor Roger to taste his treasured wine, and then stayed temporarily in this pleasant country manor.
Early the next morning, Councillor Roger left the estate to work, while William and his wife remained here to wait for news from the three of them
On the third day, Congressman Roger called and informed him that he had made an appointment to meet Benjamin, and asked a few people to get ready.
On the fourth day, a group of people went to Richmond to find the councillor in the state capital, and then led them to a membership-only cigar shop.
This cigar shop has a separate spacious private room where customers can enjoy cigars to their heart's content, and the sound insulation and ventilation are good.
The most important thing is that there are no idle people inside, and non-members can only enter the store under the guidance of members, so it is a good choice to use it as a secret meeting place.
Several people waited in a private room for a while, there was a knock on the door of the private room, Catherine hurriedly went up to open the door, and a young clerk stood at the door, followed by a tall, high-nosed hawk-eyed middle-aged man with a stern expression.
Seeing this man, Councilor Roger got up from the sofa, walked quickly to the door, and said, "Director Benjamin, it's really punctual, please sit inside!" ”
When Benjamin saw the councillor, there was a smile on his cold face, and he said: "Your Excellency, please don't dare to break the appointment, you are too polite!" ”
He followed Councillor Roger into the room, and looked up to see that there were three other people in the room, two young people who were somewhat familiar, and the one who was about the same age as himself could be recognized even if he was burned to ashes, it was this time that made him sleep poorly, Colonel Fleming, the iron-blooded captain.
Director Benjamin was stunned for a moment when he saw the three of them, and then a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and then quickly calmed down. Turning to Councillor Roger, he asked, "Mr. Councillor, what do you mean by this, and do you know who these people are?" ”
"Haha! Director Benjamin, of course I know who they are, Colonel Fleming has always wanted to talk to you, but he has no chance to find me. I asked him to help him contact you, but I didn't tell you on the phone, please don't be surprised! Congressman Roger replied with a smile.
"Now that you know who they are, you brought them to me, these people are extremely dangerous people, do you know?" Benjamin said with some displeasure.
"What! Just because you and I are here, they still dare to mess around, don't they? Director Benjamin, I don't know what grievances you have with Colonel Fleming, and I don't want to care, I'm just a matchmaker and let you sit down and talk.
"I don't care about anything else, since you're here, you might as well sit down and talk to them, if there is any misunderstanding, wouldn't it be fine." Congressman Roger pretended to be stupid and said.
Without waiting for Benjamin to reply, he continued: "You talk slowly, I'll go next door and smoke a cigar." Little girl, help me cut the cigar holder! ”
Catherine understood and knew that the fewer people on this occasion, the better, and quickly got up and followed Councillor Roger out of the room.
Benjamin watched Councillor Roger walk out of the room quickly, and did not say anything, and his grim face showed no expression.
After thinking about it for a while, he sat down on the sofa, his eyes swept over the captain and Li Qingcang, and a wave of official authority poured out.
"I didn't expect you to have a big face, and you can actually move Councilor Roger to help you support you, but I don't eat this, it's useless for you to find anyone to break the law. As soon as I find the evidence, I'll send you court-martialed, Colonel Fleming! Director Benjamin said.
"I think you're mistaken, I didn't have such a big face to invite Councilor Roger, this time Mr. Councilor was able to come forward completely because of him, my deputy, Major Li Qingcang of the Predator Legion! He is a distant nephew of Congressman Roger. The captain pulled up the tiger skin to make a big flag, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he helped Li Qingcang recognize a relative.
"Really? Does that mean that this Major Li next to you is also the core figure of iron and blood? Benjamin asked with interest.
"Yes, we can say anything to him in front of him, Director Benjamin, I think we ......" The captain was interrupted by Benjamin raising his hand before he could finish speaking.
Li Qingcang was taken aback, thinking that Benjamin refused to negotiate with them. Unexpectedly, Benjamin opened his mouth and said: "If you want to talk to me, just change the room, you daring guys dare to do anything, I don't want to stay in the room you arranged and talk to you." ”
The captain and Li Qingcang glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, sure enough, there is a door, it seems that the captain's analysis is really reliable.
The captain smiled and said, "The director is really cautious, since this is the case, then you can pick a room at will, and we will talk in another place." ”
As he spoke, he motioned to Li Qingcang to call the clerk and help them change a room, and the three of them followed the clerk to another spacious cigar room before they each sat down on the sofa.
In order to dispel Benjamin's doubts, the captain deliberately turned off his satellite phone and mobile phone and put them on the coffee table, and Li Qingcang hurriedly did so.
Seeing that the two of them were so active, Benjamin's stern face showed a little relaxation, and he said, "Say it! What would you like to talk to me about? Don't tell me that Donnie's death and the Hellfire being saved have nothing to do with you. ”
The captain took a breath and said in a calm voice, "Donnie was killed by us, and Hellfire was also saved by us. ”
"Yes! Have the courage to admit it, aren't you afraid that I will have someone arrest you now? Benjamin said playfully.
"Director Benjamin, everyone understands people, there is no need to be secretive, since you can sit here, I will tell you what I really think, I know that we have made you very unhappy that we killed Donnie, but you also have to understand our suffering.
"Not to mention fulfilling the employer's commission, four of my iron-blooded brothers were killed in that battle, all of them were soldiers who led the troops, I think you also understand my feelings at that time, just like you want to help Donnie avenge us and trouble, how can I not avenge my brothers? Rescuing the Hellfire is also for self-preservation, and if you think about it, none of your men will be harmed. ”
"According to what you say, or am I deceiving people too much and not understanding your feelings of revenge for my comrades-in-arms, is it my fault?" Benjamin scoffed.
"Everyone's right, Mr. Director! Now that this situation has been created, it is not irreparable, I am also an American, and I can't turn my gun on my own people, I hope you will raise your noble hand and stop suppressing the iron and blood? The captain lost a soft word slightly.
Benjamin smiled contemptuously and said, "What if I'm not going to raise my noble hand?" ”
The captain's face also sank, and he said word by word: "If you must let Iron Will accompany Donnie to the funeral, I promise, as long as one person runs away from Iron Will."
"Then you should remember to wear body armor when you make love with your wife in the future, remember to check whether there is any poison in the food when you eat, and remember to see if there is a bomb installed under the car when you ride in the car, believe me, this is not alarmist, iron-blooded people will definitely be able to do it!"
After remembering three times in a row, the corners of Benjamin's eyes also jumped three times in succession, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Very good! Sure enough, I think you did everything possible to find Councillor Roger to ask me out, didn't you want to tell me how capable you are! ”
