Chapter 473: Maher asks for guilt
"Minister Wei, you are keeping an eye here, I will go back first, and if there is any news, let me know in time."
The sky was gradually darkening, and Chen Jinghui saw that he still couldn't contact the expeditionary force, his mood was a little lost, and then he turned around and left to go back to rest.
But somewhere on the north-western frontier at this moment, in a dense wood, there is a large group of people hiding inside, and their eyes are always staring outside.
"Commander, it's almost time."
"Tell me to go down and approach the border carefully."
The group reached the border and let out a bird's call.
"Is it Commander He of the Expeditionary Force?" A man on the border line heard the sound of birds and began to ask.
"I'm He Yingqin."
"Commander He, you've finally arrived, come with me."
The person who responded connected with the expeditionary force led by He Yingqin, and then immediately led them to leave the border at night and enter the territory of northwest China.
Chen Jinghui returned home, took off his coat and was still on the sofa, then fell down on the sofa, supported his head with his hands and began to slowly close his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Li Dali watched Chen Jinghui fall asleep so quickly, and his heart was full of question marks. He couldn't understand what Chen Jinghui had been anxious about in the Ministry of Defense these days, how could he sleep as soon as he came back, and he could still fall asleep. Seeing Chen Jinghui asleep, Li Dali could only frown, and then brought over a blanket to cover him.
"Ah, even, vigorously, what time is it, is there any news from the Ministry of Defense."
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Jinghui woke up. He sat up and stretched, then removed the stall that should be on his body, and after sobering up for a while, he asked Li Dali if he had any information about the expeditionary force.
"Commander, there is no news from the Ministry of Defense yet, you better wash your face and finish your meal first!" Li Dali said.
"There is no news yet, stay tuned, and notify me as soon as there is news."
Chen Jinghui ordered Li Dali in a little urgency, and then got up and went to the bathroom to wash. When he had finished washing, he sat down at the dining table and began to eat slowly, as if nothing had happened to the expeditionary force.
"Go and ask, is there any news?" Chen Jinghui finished eating, and then continued to ask Li Dali.
"Commander, there is no news, they are still in contact." A few minutes later, Lee returned the favor vigorously.
"It seems that there is no progress today, and we will send people to keep an eye on it at night to prevent the Ministry of Defense from calling and not finding anyone." After Chen Jinghui finished speaking, he went upstairs to sleep.
Knock knock
At eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Jinghui was still dreaming when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.
"Dali, is there any news from the expeditionary force?"
Chen Jinghui opened the door directly without wearing any clothes, and then asked if there was news from the expeditionary force when he knocked on the door so early.
"Commander, there is no news from the expeditionary force yet, but General Maher of the United States has gone to the Ministry of Defense." Li Dali said.
"Alas, it's better to come, let's go, let's go to the Ministry of Defense."
Chen Jinghui finished speaking helplessly, then turned around and entered the room, began to get dressed slowly, and then came out to brush his teeth and wash his face, not in a hurry at all.
Bell bell bell
"Commander, Minister Wei called again and asked when you would arrive." Li Dali said with the phone.
"Tell him I'll come right away and let him accompany General Maher first." Chen Jinghui said as he went downstairs.
"Commander, how can I see that you are not in a hurry!" Li Dali finally couldn't help but ask.
"You stupid, the Americans must have known that the expeditionary force was missing so early, and they must have come to look for trouble. I was in a hurry to listen to their nagging! Chen Jinghui said.
"Ah, Commander, you know that." Li Dali was very surprised, and then he understood why Chen Jinghui became slow to do everything after hearing that Maher from the United States had come over, it turned out that this was the case.
"Okay, you go and prepare the car, we can pass, remember to drive slower on the road." Chen Jinghui commanded.
"Okay, I'll make sure it's done." Li Dali smiled and left.
"Where is General Maher?"
Two hours later, Chen Jinghui finally arrived at the Ministry of National Defense, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he asked loudly.
"Deputy Commander, you can be regarded as here, why has it been so long." When Minister Wei heard Chen Jinghui's voice, it was like hearing a savior, and he immediately came out to greet him.
"I came out in a hurry just now, and I hit a driver on the road and injured someone, so I dealt with it, and it was too late." Chen Jinghui said blindly.
"Deputy Commander, are you alright?" Minister Wei asked with concern. In fact, I despise Chen Jinghui very much. The heart said a little laugh about the traffic accident, just let the guards deal with it, where he needs to ask in person, it is clear that he is afraid of seeing the Americans on purpose, but he does not dare to say it.
"I'm fine, General Maher is there, take me over to meet him." Chen Jinghui said.
"He's in the parlor, I'll take you there." Minister Wei led the way, followed by Chen Jinghui.
"Hehe, General Maher, we meet again, welcome." Chen Jinghui walked to the door and saw Maher with an angry face, and the horse stepped forward to say hello with a smile.
"Deputy Commander Chen, you can be regarded as here, let me ask you, where did your expeditionary force go, why can't you find anyone and can't contact you in the past few days." Maher ignored Chen Jinghui and stood up directly to question.
"General Maher, don't worry, sit down and drink tea first, and listen to me tell you slowly." Chen Jinghui said while pouring tea.
"Nonono, I'm not in the mood for tea right now, I need to know where your expeditionary force went. Now that the fighting is tight on the Indian side, we need their reinforcements. Maher said.
"General Maher, sit down first, don't get excited. Actually, I'll tell you the truth, we don't know where the expeditionary force went, or even dead or alive. Chen Jinghui said helplessly.
"No, I don't believe you don't know, Deputy Commander Chen, please order your expeditionary force to reinforce the British immediately." Maher didn't believe Chen Jinghui's words at all, he thought Chen Jinghui was lying, so he only asked Chen Jinghui to let the expeditionary force reinforce the British.
"General Maher, tell you the truth! We have lost contact with the expeditionary force for five days, and we have even sent a small force into India to search for their whereabouts, but nothing has been found. Now my men are still looking in India, and my communications corps is still hurrying to contact them. Chen Jinghui said.
"I don't believe that hundreds of thousands of troops, how can they disappear all at once, and there is no trace at all." Maher said.
"General Maher, all this is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask Minister Wei, they can all testify, we have indeed lost contact for several days" Chen Jinghui pointed to Minister Wei and asked.
"Deputy Commander Chen, is this true! You didn't lie to me. Maher asked again in confusion.
"Absolutely not, it's all true. If you think about it, that's hundreds of thousands of troops, and they're still elite soldiers, do I want them to have something! But the reality is that they have indeed disappeared for five days, and there is no news at all. Chen Jinghui spread his hands and said helplessly.
"I don't care, the British are in danger in India now, and they urgently need reinforcements, you must send another unit over, and we have paid for it." Maher demanded.
"I'm sorry, I can't send troops to Southeast Asia or India anymore, because I don't have that obligation, I don't have that right." Chen Jinghui resolutely refused.
"You can't do that, we had an agreement before. Now that you have broken the treaty, we ask that you immediately send another force into India to reinforce the British. Maher said confidently.
"Hehe, General Maher, I want to ask you a few questions, I don't know if it's okay." Chen Jinghui asked.
"You ask, as long as you can send another army over, you can ask anything." Maher said.
"Very good, General Maher, let me ask you, you signed an agreement with Commander Chiang before, and it is right for Huaxia to send an expeditionary force to conquer Southeast Asia."
"Yes, it does."
"You've paid a lot of price for us to send an expeditionary force, haven't you?"
"Yes, we spent a lot of money."
"Then let me ask you again, did Commander Chiang send troops?"
"He sent an expeditionary force of 300,000 men into Southeast Asia."
"Isn't this over, since we have already sent troops, then why do you want us to send another troops." Chen Jinghui asked rhetorically.
"Nonono, it's not this logic. You sent an expeditionary force, but they're gone, you understand? Maher said.
"I would like to ask General Maher, where they are gone, are they in our Huaxia?" Chen Jinghui asked.
"No, they are not seen in India. But they did not do their duty to assist the British in their fight against the devils. Maher said.
"General Maher, you are not right. Since they lost contact with India, it is possible that they were surrounded or captured in a battle with the devils, or they were all killed in battle. But in either case, we in Huaxia have fulfilled the content of the agreement, and what reason do you have to duty us, and what reason do you have for us to send troops to reinforce the British. Chen Jinghui asked rhetorically.
"Deputy Commander Chen, it's not like this."
Maher was a little depressed, and he came over to blame Chen Jinghui, but now he was stopped by Chen Jinghui. Chen Jinghui is very reasonable, in either case, China has already fulfilled the agreement, and the United States and Britain have no reason to take responsibility for China. For a while, he couldn't find a reason to continue to ask Chen Jinghui, so he could only hold his head in his hands and complain loudly.
