Chapter 35: The Moment of Separation
"Hey, let's not talk about them. May peace come soon. There is an opportunity to rebuild the home. Katyusha sighed.
"Let's go and celebrate, our chef is French, there are a few bags of flour in the warehouse, and he can make all kinds of French bread, I wonder what flavor you prefer?" The commander discussed with everyone as he walked in the direction of the command center.
Back at the command center, an officer stepped forward with a notebook in his hand and reported to the commander the results of the day: "Our side has 5 killed and 11 wounded. The enemy lost 110 killed, 78 were taken prisoner, and captured two enemy tanks. What is the treatment of prisoners of war? ”
"As is customary, we welcome those who are willing to surrender, and disarm those who do not want to fight again, and let them return to the common people. Those who still want to stubbornly resist will be locked up for me until the war is won. The commander said without thinking.
"Yes." The officer turned and left.
"Why are you so kind to them? Isn't there a saying that to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself? Louis was puzzled.
"We are very confident in winning this war, this is the general trend, but the government army is also people, from the common people, after all, there are only a few people who are extremely vicious, most of them are forced to confront us out of desperation, after the end of the war, the way we treat prisoners of war, there will always be someone to comment. We don't want to promote terrorism like **, so even if we win this war and lose people's hearts, what's the point? The commander said as he looked at the back of the officer who was fading away.
Although the military quality is not very strong, it is still quite in line with the standards of the army of benevolence and righteousness, Hugh sighed inwardly.
"Commander, we still have a mission to do, see if there are any spare rooms in the command center? We need to have a meeting. Katyusha looked inside the command center.
"This is easy to do, in the first room around the corner of the second floor, the door is not locked, just go in." The commander pointed to the staircase to the right of the police station hall.
The team went upstairs to the room, which was a police office, with four sets of modular iron cabinets against the wall, two large desks lined with neat police books, as well as large and small folders, and the walls next to the desks were covered with various medals of honor and photos of police colleagues, but the owner of this place had long since disappeared.
"There are still five days before the CIA officials arrive at their hotel in their capital. The location of the capital is in the north, and it takes about a day to drive there, because it is the area where government forces are active, and the closer we are to the capital, the greater the threat we face, what advice do you have for getting to your destination safely? Katyusha asked.
Sitting in an office chair, he called up a hologram map through his watch, suspended in the air, with an unobstructed view of all the country's transportation arteries, towns and deserts.
"The further north you go, the more often you encounter government forces. I don't recommend taking the road to see if there are any paths in the steppe desert to hide our whereabouts. Hugh tipped his finger across the image map, looking for a safe path.
"Good proposal." Olivia pointed to a steppe path above that ran parallel to the highway, but then got stuck in the air again, and a ravine blocked the way. The highway crosses the middle of the canyon.
"It seems that this route is forcing us to go on the highway and come face to face with government forces." Hugh spread his hands helplessly.
"There seems to be a level here, let's take a closer look." Hugh pointed to a red dot at the entrance to the canyon and called in spy satellites to take aerial images of the area, and half a minute later, several high-definition aerial views appeared on the holographic image map, and a government outpost was presented in front of everyone, two military jeeps were parked next to the outpost, and dozens of soldiers were guarding the post with guns.
"Punch the card forcibly!" Louis rubbed his hands up.
"That's all there is to it now." Hugh closed the new image map, and got a positive answer from everyone's eyes.
At this time, the door to the office was opened, and an officer stood in the doorway, beckoning everyone: "Come on!" Lunch has already begun, so relax. ”
When they arrived in the hall, they saw a large number of soldiers put down their guns, took food from the support staff stacked with beer crates and bread baskets, and enjoyed it comfortably.
Several soldiers carried two large vats of steaming camel chowder soup to everyone, and handed them out to the soldiers around them.
The commander saw them, motioned for the logistics staff to distribute food to them, and then stepped forward.
"I can't help you, you have contributed a lot to this war, and Olivia has taught our soldiers excellent helicopter and armored vehicle driving skills. Luis taught us all sorts of explosive techniques, as well as you and Katyusha's magical insect weapons. It gave me a great help and an indelible impression. How I hope that in the coming days, I can fight side by side with you until the corrupt government is overthrown, and the people can live a good life in peace and contentment again. There was a look of reluctance in the commander's eyes.
"We are also reluctant to let you go." Olivia looked around at the ** armed soldiers.
"However, we are also burdened with an inescapable mission to run for the future security of our country. Hope you understand us. I believe that this parting, if there is a fate, we can still meet. Katyusha took the camel soup and bagels.
"I wish you all to win this war, cheers." Hugh held up the beer bottle.
"Cheers." Everyone responded to the call, and there was a clanging sound of wine bottles colliding.
After the meal, the commander looked at the four outsiders in front of him and saluted a standard military salute. "I wish you all the best along the way, and if you have any difficulties and needs, you can contact the local ** armed forces, and they will definitely give full support."
The four of them raised their hands at the same time, turned around and walked towards the direction of the GAZ jeep, and entered the vehicle.
The midday sun was unbearable, Olivia drove the jeep, bumpy and galloping on the deserted prairie, Hugh in the passenger seat turned on the air conditioner, looking at the heat rising from the jeep cover, drowsy.
"Something hot!" Olivia flipped the switch on the stereo, and a nostalgic Nordic nightwish band "Nemo" played.
"It's long overdue to put this down, it's so jolting that I'm dozing off." Louis grumbled from the back seat.
"It's no wonder who told you to drink ten bottles of beer at noon and not fall asleep." Olivia grumbled.
Katyusha smiled slightly, connected the two nano ladybugs to the car power to charge, and tapped her fingers on the window next to her, looking at the grassland scenery outside that was rapidly fading backwards.
