418. Chapter 1 (2) Advance and Retreat
Listening to Rebecca's barrage of questions, Green couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at you, Rebecca, you are still the same after so many years, you haven't changed at all, you go straight to the point in less than three sentences, it's really worthy of a name, your TV station has a reporter like you, the boss doesn't have to worry about the ratings."
Green said, holding the drink in his hand and showing his respect to the woman opposite.
"Hehe, look at what you said, what am I, now I don't want to dig up the materials by myself, I can't keep my job, how can I be like you, when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, by the way, haven't you been at your base headquarters in Europe before? At that time, you were the liaison officer who communicated with us, why, why did you suddenly come here after doing a good job over there? Are you still in charge of external liaison and publicity? β
Rebecca asked again.
"I'm no longer a liaison officer, I was only transferred here half a year ago, and now I'm just an ordinary staff officer in this base, doing some information classification and screening, finding out valuable things from them and sorting them out and submitting them to the different departments in charge above, and at the same time in charge of deploying materials from all over the country or something, things are very complicated, and I rarely come out in normal times, it's such a coincidence today, I can see you here, don't just ask me, tell me why you also came here? It's not very peaceful now, and there are a lot of refugees. β
"We eat this bowl of rice to run around, there is no fixed place to stay, and there is another characteristic of our industry, that is, wherever there is a lot of activity, you should know this, a few days ago I made an interview with the leader of a resistance group on the Kovo side, who is also a person you don't like, Colonel Kolarov, and I didn't have much hope for it, but I didn't expect to be allowed it soon, I think they also urgently need to be heard by the outside world, so I quickly agreed. β
Rebecca said and took a sip of water from her cup, and saw that Green on the other side was looking at her with a smile, Rebecca was a little embarrassed.
"Don't laugh at me, what I said is true, no, I'm hurrying to sort out and send out a previous interview, and the editor is chasing after me, asking me to pass on the manuscript early tomorrow morning, and then I have to prepare an interview outline to submit to the liaison officer of that organization, maybe in the next two days, the liaison of that organization will arrange my interview with Colonel Kolarov, do you think my job is easy? I can't live a normal life at all, and I have to worry about my safety at any time, so I really live with my head up every day. β
Obviously, Rebecca complained about her work and complained a lot, but Green knew that what these people said on their lips may not be consistent with what they thought in their hearts, and the other party only said the risks, but she did not say that the high risks would bring them high returns, and an exclusive interview that no one else could get would make these reporters and hosts become household names all over the world overnight.
"I guess it's not all your words, and from what I know about you, you love this kind of challenge, and I like this unique thrill even more, am I right?"
Green, who has been in external liaison for a while, has dealt with reporters a lot, and he is well aware of the differences in the hearts and minds of these reporters, and responds with a smile.
"If you expose it again, you won't save me some face?"
Rebecca laughed to herself.
"But it's true that as you said, it's really boring to do unchallenging work, and it doesn't motivate you at all."
As she spoke, Rebecca closed the notebook on the table.
"Okay, I'm leaving, I'm done with my work today, I can rest after I go back and deliver the manuscript, you still want to sit here for a while?"
The woman asked with a smile as she cleaned up the things on the table, the kind of question that made Green wonder a little.
"I should go back too, I originally wanted to come out and relax, I really didn't expect to run into you, it's really fate, do you live far away? I'll send you. β
Green asked thoughtfully.
"My temporary apartment is nearby, not too far, there is also one of our offices on the street in front, my usual range of activities is in these places, it seems that today I met a gentleman, thank you, let's go."
The woman, Rebecca, had already packed her belongings and walked out of the bar with Green.
Walking down the silent street, the two of them talked and laughed softly as they walked towards the apartment not far away that Rebecca had pointed out, and from Rebecca's account, Green knew that Rebecca had only been sent here for a few days because of this exclusive interview.
"So, you're going back to your headquarters in country B after this interview?" Green asked tentatively.
"Not necessarily, I don't want to go back, you should know that there is news where there are hot spots, didn't you say it, I like this tense rhythm, but I have to be familiar with it for a while when I first arrived here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find a place to eat every day and night, so I can only run to the bar to solve the hunger problem."
After saying that, Rebecca smiled helplessly, in Green's opinion, Rebecca's smile was really beautiful at night.
"Okay, I'm home, thank you for accompanying me back."
Green really felt that time was passing so fast, and he felt that he was over before he could speak, and he spread his hands helplessly and smiled and said:
"Well, anyway, it's a big surprise to see you today, since you won't be leaving here for a while, I guess we will have a chance to meet again, can you tell me your contact information?"
Green asked tentatively, and Rebecca smiled slightly:
"I thought you wouldn't ask me for a phone, but I don't know how to ask you for your contact information, and it is embarrassing to know that a woman takes the initiative to ask a man for a phone."
"Haha, it seems that I am not unusually lucky, and it is my honor to be favored by such a charming lady."
Green's joy was palpable, and after the two exchanged contact information, they watched Rebecca walk through the door of his apartment, and Green returned to the base residence with a slight sense of loss.
Shortly after the two separated, a sedan quietly passed in front of Rebecca's apartment, and one of the people inside carefully observed every detail of the place as the car passed the apartment gate, and then the car continued on, towards the end of the street.
"Nor comrade, I am afraid that your people will have to work harder these days, we must step up our actions, seize the time to try to evacuate our staff stranded in the various union republics within the N Union as soon as possible, if we can't evacuate for a while, we must first bring them to the embassy and gather them, now there are many factions in this area, and there is a hand behind every armed force to control it, and there are constant conflicts and killings, so that everyone is in danger, and the personal and property safety of foreign nationals cannot be guaranteed at all, There are already signs of a humanitarian crisis, and now we have enough intelligence to suggest that interest groups led by the United States may be about to attack here. β
In a conference room at the embassy of the N Alliance, a military attache in charge of security expressed his eagerness and concern to the newcomer who had just returned here.
"You can rest assured, as long as there is one of our compatriots here who has not been evacuated to a safe area, we will definitely take them over, but now the situation is very bad, our time is too tight, and there are not enough people, and I think you are not safe here, once the United States attacks this area, it is difficult to guarantee that the embassy here will be foolproof, I still recommend that you evacuate most of the relevant personnel here as much as possible, leaving only a small number of people to stay, and then come back when the situation is stable."
The sensitivity of the military made Yifei know that this was not a place to stay for long, and he once again suggested to the military attache that the staff here be evacuated.
Yifei was not one of the first 'snow wolf' team members to rush here, more than half a year before him, Gao Jian, Qin Han, Wan Kai, and Qu Renhe led the first batch of advance teams composed of more than a dozen new and old 'snow wolf' team members to rush to this troubled place, before Yifei and Lezi arrived here, Gao Jian, Qin Han and others had already assisted in completing the evacuation of the expatriates and staff stationed there in the various union republics in the N alliance several times, as the situation became more and more unpredictable, the danger was also approaching, It wasn't that when they arrived, they quickly threw themselves into the task of securing the embassy, evacuating the relevant personnel, and protecting the important fixed assets that could not be transferred for the time being.
Most of the embassies and consulates set up here have already been emptied, and the closed embassies are only guarded by a few ordinary local staff, even several countries in Eastern Europe that have close contacts with the N alliance are also preparing for evacuation, compared with the evacuation of the embassies of these neighboring countries of the N alliance, our evacuation operations are much more complicated, one is that the distance is far away and inconvenient to respond, and the more important point is that it is often an attitude to go or not to walk in this situation. Sometimes, no matter how risky it is, you have to stick there and stay still, and this is the game of international justice.
Hearing Yifei's suggestion, the military attache smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"I know what you said, some unrelated personnel of the embassy have also begun to evacuate one after another, but we must not close the door and leave together, no matter how dangerous the situation here is, we must have someone to guard here, you should understand the reason."
This embassy official, who has been circling the whirlpool of surrounding storms all year round, knows too well and is not bad at all, but there is no way, this is the strategy of diplomatic relations between major powers, the enemy of the enemy is our friend, whether it is friend or foe, the roles are always reversed, and the key depends on the needs of each other's interests.
"In this way, you just come back, rest first, I'll confirm with the relevant agencies in a while, see if there are any people and things missing, I think it's only a day or two, the Mi side can't wait, look at the current situation, they have to put Milo to death, and we'll meet again in the evening when I confirm it."
As he was talking, the phone in the military attachΓ©'s hand rang, and the military attache waved his hand at Yi Fei and turned to leave.
