Chapter 394: Funeral Ceremony
These three high-ranking officials and dignitaries worked together, and their power was naturally extraordinary, because the Ministry of Defense also issued an order to send fighter planes to save people.
Minister Rumsfeld turned a blind eye and did not investigate why the fighter planes were dispatched an hour earlier.
It's just that he called Major General John in private, and as for what was said on the phone, only the two of them knew.
Immediately after a battalion of troops was wiped out by the U.S. Air Force, Nagorba clamed for retaliation.
The U.S. Foreign Service replied in a tough way, warning you not to hurt U.S. citizens, and if you dare to attack first, immediately authorize the Atlantic Fleet to launch a covered missile strike on Alaja, the capital of Nijjaria.
When Gorba approached the Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Vasily, with this strongly-worded document, the two of them were speechless at each other, and at the end there was only a long sigh!
For Lieutenant General Vasily, Arthur is dead, the regime in this country is basically stable, and as long as the Americans do not intervene, Russia's interests will not be violated, and it is impossible to fight the Americans for the strength of this battalion.
As for his subordinate 'Iceman', he can only compensate his relatives with more money to express his regrets.
Skip the intrigue between the top of the United States and the upper echelons of Nijalia, and not mention it.
On the Nimitz aircraft carrier, Max walked around the small cabin like a trapped beast, and nearly a week of detention left this energetic fellow distraught and unrestful for a moment.
The fat house of the virus is not so irritable, lying on the bed, with two big hands on top of the round belly, looking at the ceiling, I don't know what I am thinking?
The mechanic was studying the screw door toughness in the cabin at the foot of the bed, and swore to the two that if he didn't believe that Major Li would get all the brothers out, he could open the hatch and escape from prison with the metal cutlery used during the meal.
Just as the three of them were bored in the room, there was a clang, and the hatch opened, and several naval soldiers stood in the door with expressionless faces.
One of the leaders took a piece of paper and read the names of the three men and asked them to come out.
As soon as Max heard this, he immediately rushed out without hesitation, stretched out outside the hatch, and asked with a grin, "Damn! It's out, I said a few navy brothers, you're going to release us, right? ”
A few naval soldiers were ignored, and the virus cautiously walked out of the cabin, and asked with a smile: "Brother soldiers, is this a release of us?" ”
The naval soldier holding the paper sneered and replied: "It's a beautiful idea, you guys maliciously kidnapped military generals, provoked a war between the two countries, and still want to be released, waiting to go to the military court!" ”
The three of them changed their faces when they heard this, and the mechanic touched his bald head and said to himself: "Damn! I'm going to go to jail now! ”
The virus sighed and said, "Sit down!" Brothers, this can be regarded as a hero, admit it! ”
Max was even more arrogant, shouting: "That's right, it's not like Lao Tzu hasn't been to a military court. This time there are two big brothers as companions, so I don't have to say anything! ”
Several naval soldiers looked at the three guys coldly and sighed there, and they didn't say anything, waiting until the three of them came out. Locked the hatch, sandwiched the dejected trio in the middle, and took the deck.
On the deck, Major General John, dressed in military uniform, stood like a javelin, with a gloomy expression on his face, and a helicopter was parked behind him, and several heavily armed American GIs were standing by the hatch with guns in their hands, and they knew that this was a gendarme escorting them to the United States.
When the three of them were escorted to the helicopter, the virus saluted the general with a fascist military salute and said, "I'm sorry, General!" But we don't regret it, if there is such a thing, I believe we will still make such a choice! ”
Max and the mechanic also nodded their heads in agreement, agreeing with the virus's proposal. The general asked expressionlessly, "You are about to be sent to the United States, do you have anything else to convey to me?" ”
Max scratched his head and said, "Tell Major Li for me that my iron-blooded days were the most lively time in my life, and I hope he doesn't forget us, and I want to go back in the future." ”
The virus said with some emotion: "I am the same, I hope that Major Li will lead the brothers to continue the glory of iron and blood, and tell him that I have no regrets at all!" ”
The mechanic also nodded and said, "That's right, General!" Tell Major Li for me that I will be proud of my iron-blooded name for the rest of my life! ”
"Is that it? What else is there to say no? The general asked with a cold face.
The three of them shook their heads at the same time, what else to say, if you do something, you have to bear the consequences, everyone is an adult, and you have been mentally prepared before doing this. As for Li Qingcang's promise, they didn't have much hope.
Seeing the disheartened appearance of the three of them, Major General John's iceberg-like face suddenly showed a narrow smile. opened his mouth and said: "Don't hang your head a few stinky boys, a few of you have a handling opinion, and you won't be held accountable, are you satisfied now?" ”
"What? You won't lie to me, will you! Shogun! ”
"My God! It's not fun at all for a big man like you to make this kind of joke with a few of us little shrimps, right? Checkmate. ”
"Thank you! I knew you weren't going to meet us equally. ”
The three of them surrounded the general and praised it.
"Roll...... Get out, what are you doing around Lao Tzu? Still want to kidnap, don't you? When I see you, I get angry, and I will let Lao Tzu go to France. The general laughed and kicked Max in the crotch.
When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly saluted him in a few military salutes in different postures, and then rushed into the helicopter.
The general waited until the helicopter took off and returned a military salute to them, bidding farewell to these lawless and righteous men.
As soon as the helicopter reached the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the pilot landed and dropped off the three men, and then the waiting rabbit drove the three of them to a private airport, where the Gulfstream planes of Hellfire had been waiting for a long time.
Receiving three warriors who had returned triumphantly, the rabbit who stayed here immediately instructed the pilots to fly straight to France for the funeral of the captain and the ripper.
When the Gulfstream plane landed in the French iron-blooded base, Li Qingcang hurriedly led the brothers to greet the last group of guests who arrived.
When he saw the three people coming down the gangway one after another, Li Qingcang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this time Councilor Roger was really powerful.
went up and hugged the three of them one by one, and after some encouragement, he began to order everyone to start greeting the people who came to mourn.
There were many people who attended the captain's funeral, and the father in charge of logistics simply chartered the entire Hilton Hotel in the Marseille area in order to make overall arrangements and ventilate in time.
In terms of the underworld, Li Qingcang knows Hellfire father and son, Cook, and Rabbit. American underworld tycoon Zorro. Nether, the leader of the Hand of Hades. Mexico's drug lord Uttman...... Wait a minute.
On the White Road side are Councillor Roger, Deputy Commissioner Benjamin, Connelly. Sean father and daughter and Douglas, Shirley and other Americans rescued last time.
There are also the captain's former army leaders, ex-wife, several relatives and friends of the Ripper, and many iron-blooded old-timers who have long since retired.
On the day of the funeral, the father presided over the entire funeral ceremony, Li Qingcang, Buffalo, King Kong, Razor and others supported the spirit, carrying the two coffins covered with iron-blooded military flags, and walked solemnly and slowly put them into the cemetery.
A priest of great prestige began to read the eulogy with a solemn expression in front of the tombstone:
"It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to our two loved ones here. One is Colonel Fleming, the former captain of the Iron Will, and the other is Mr. Jack, the former second lieutenant of the Iron Will.
"Iron Will is known to be a mercenary corps, invincible and invincible under the leadership of Colonel Fleming.
"On a recent rescue mission, justice and conscience prompted Colonel Fleming to take great risks and lead his warriors into battle against an enemy force far outnumbered by more than a dozen times his own, in order to protect the unarmed civilians behind him.
"Although Colonel Fleming and Ensign Jack are deceased, their valuable virtues of being able to give to the weak and not bow their heads like the strong are worth remembering for those of us present. They have used their lives and blood to explain to us what justice and courage are, and their invincible prestige will surely add a touch of justice to their invincible prestige.
"Their deeds are respected by the world and will be remembered forever, and their voices, smiles, and actions will always inspire and spur us on to approach the world with the kindness in our hearts.
"Those who are here are their relatives, friends, or former colleagues, and we are all very fond of the time we spent with them, and we will pass on their justice and bravery.
We believe that at this moment they are bathing in the glory of the Lord in the kingdom of heaven, because their deeds will be appreciated by the Lord. We also believe that their souls in Heaven will also protect Iron Blood, so that this undefeated hero will continue to write a more wonderful legend.
"In the days to come, may they remember their affection and friendship with us on earth, and we will finally be with them, and may their noble souls rest in peace, Amen!"
"Amen......!" As soon as the priest finished reading, everyone present also bowed their heads and chanted.
After the ceremony, everyone walked forward wordlessly with the flowers in their hands, bowed silently, and the white bouquets were piled up into two small "mountains" in front of the tombstones of the two.
After the funeral, Li Qingcang began to bid farewell to the gods who came to mourn, and Councilor Roger intended to pave the way for him, and really vigorously advocated this young and promising young man in front of Benjamin and Connelly.
Benjamin, as the intelligence chief of the world's largest country, naturally also paid close attention to this outstanding young man, knowing that most of the iron-blooded and outstanding military exploits in recent years were made by this young man, including the several incidents in which he began to embarrass himself, this young man was even more "indispensable".
With regard to this kind of armed organization that cannot be completely controlled, on the basis of good cooperation, Fleming kindly expressed to Li Qingcang his willingness to strengthen cooperation in the future.
Li Qingcang naturally agreed. Connelly and his daughter also repeatedly expressed their gratitude, and Li Qingcang naturally welcomed people with a smile.
The rest of the relatives and friends naturally don't need to say much, anyway, the funeral was done smoothly, and Li Qingcang's succession ceremony was also smooth and steady, and there was no omission.
