"Mi Si Zhao, we meet again." Mary, who was wearing a boat-shaped soft military hat, was still unrestrained when she first saw her, and regardless of the existence of several operational staff officers in Zhao Zhi's headquarters, she directly opened her arms and hugged Zhao Zhi. "Zhao, are you not happy to see me? I defeated more than a dozen Chinese translators to get this opportunity. Seeing that Zhao Zhi's antisense was a little wooden, Mary, who had an unrestrained personality, was a little depressed.

Breaking away from Mary's hug, Zhao Zhi sorted out his clothes, "Mary, if you still talk to me like this, I promise to tell Vincent that the hot-tempered Vincent will definitely tie you back to the United States." "This Mary is crazy personally, even in front of Rowling, she talks to Zhao Zhi with a bit of flirtatiousness, who made this woman a good friend of Rowling, otherwise Zhao Zhi can't allow her to be so presumptuous in his own command.

"Don't mention that guy" Mary saw Zhao Zhi move out of Vincent, so she restrained a little, but there was a resentment in her tone, "I took his group of boys to the Philippine jungle without even saying hello, saying what kind of jungle training, and told me not to worry about him, so I won't worry about him, as soon as I heard that I was going to send someone to you, I applied for a place." "Zhao Zhi said that Vincent is the commander of the US commando detachment, after the Thunder mercenaries made a name for themselves on the Chinese battlefield, the US army also tried to use the Thunder model to form a commando team, Vincent with the rank of major is the commander of this unit, and he is also Mary's boyfriend.

"If you want to train an elite assault team, you can't do it without rigorous training, and Vincent did it right." Zhao Zhi smiled and said that he welcomed Mary, and while secretly signaling the combat staff in the command headquarters to put away some important things first. Although Thunder has signed some agreements with the United States, before the United States' military aid really arrives, Zhao Zhi has every right to block the implementation of the content of the agreement, and in the same way, all of Thunder's current battle plans need to be completely kept secret from the US military.

"Zhao, these are all senior officers from the Pentagon, and this Lieutenant Colonel Roger is the leader of our visit." Mary introduced the visiting US military officers to Zhao Zhi one by one, and the focus was still on Lieutenant Colonel Roger. Roger, who was introduced by Mary, was obviously a civilian officer, but the sharp light hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses made the civilian officer look like a soldier of a hundred battles, Zhao Zhi looked at it carefully, and then stretched out his right hand to Roger.

"Welcome, I'm Zhao Zhi." Zhao Zhi's words were very short, but this did not mean that he didn't value Roger, on the contrary, he thought that this Lieutenant Colonel Roger was much more difficult to deal with than the few guys next to him who looked at Kong Wu's strength. Looking at Roger, who is polite, he is definitely a combat officer like Vincent, because Roger has a pair of eyes of a veteran of a hundred battles, although Roger wears white gloves, Zhao Zhi knows that what is hidden in the gloves must be a pair of hands that are most suitable for holding a gun. It turns out that after Zhao Zhi and Roger shook hands, this was proved, and the reason why Roger dressed like a civilian officer was just to confuse Zhao Zhi.

In his previous life, Zhao Zhi was proficient in English, German, Chinese, and Chinese Japanese, in addition to these, he also knew some Korean and African vernacular, but now the Westerners who know Zhao Zhi to know the four Chinese dialects are only Hunter, Rowling and Old Rhodes, even when Zhao Zhi was in Europe, he always had a translator by his side, and Rowling also ridiculed Zhao Zhi many times for this reason that he was playing with Hitler as a monkey. Mary, who had been to Kunming once, was now a translator, and Zhao Zhiye was happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb and couldn't hear English, he wanted to see what tricks these Americans wanted to play.

"Zhao, the purpose of our visit this time is to discuss with you Thunder about the deployment and coordinated operations of the South Asian battlefield." Thai Mary's translator, Roger expressed his intention on behalf of the U.S. Military Coordination Mission, and with Mary's translation, a text of the Chinese and English coordinated battle plan was also handed to Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi listened to Mary's translation, while carefully looking at the text of the plan handed over by Roger, the first three pages of the text are the detailed catalogue of American military aid, light and heavy weapons, infantry equipment, grenade explosives, mortars Bazooka, Zhao Zhi even saw the details of large-caliber artillery above 150 mm caliber, it seems that the Americans have a lot of money this time, after reading these pages, Zhao Zhi already has a plan in his heart.

"Zhao, this is just our first list of military aid, and then we will have the assistance of tanks and planes, if you have a sufficient number of artillery, maybe we can also support your larger caliber howitzers." Mary, who had dealt with Zhao Zhi once, knew what this man valued, and seeing Zhao Zhi carefully flipping through the pages of the weapons list, Mary gave Roger a look, but her mouth was trying her best to tempt Zhao Zhi with follow-up military aid that was only in the making.

"Very well, we Thunder are mercenary troops, and the agreement signed with your Congress has clearly stated that you need to provide us with the weapons and equipment we need, only then can we ensure that we can complete the agreement between us according to the agreement, otherwise everything is just empty talk." Zhao Zhi is not a person who will not be flexible, but it is a pity that the small eyes between Mary and Roger are too obvious, Zhao Zhi does not eat this set at all, and he does not scatter eagles if he does not see rabbits, this is the first rule of mercenary rules.

"Zhao, don't always make a Grande face, it's not good." Mary took the coffee handed by Luo Ying familiarly, and joked with Zhao Zhi with a smile. Roger's purpose of their trip is not only to discuss with Zhao Zhi to cooperate in combat, Roger also has a bigger task on his shoulders, the US military landing in South Asia has begun, but the South Asian battlefield is not as simple as the Pentagon command imagined, Congress hopes to persuade Zhao Zhi to send a thunderous elite mercenary force to cooperate with the US landing force to open up the Philippine battlefield.

Transferring Mary from the military intelligence analysis department to act as a translator is also the meaning of the Pentagon's desire to play the family card, who made Mary and Rowling friends, but this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Pentagon, according to Mary's understanding of Zhao Zhi, this man who does not like to smile may not easily agree to this proposal. It is precisely for this reason that on the way here, Mary told Roger in detail about Zhao Zhi's personality and preferences, so Roger showed the list of military aid weapons as soon as he came up.

"Don't worry about this, you just came, rest for two days first, and when some trivial matters on my side are dealt with, let's talk about this matter." Waiting for Mary and Roger to explain the purpose of the trip, Zhao Zhi tapped his fingers on the table, but he was vague and did not indicate his attitude. Thunder's cross-border operations are now limited to Thailand, even if they are intercepted and besieged by a large number of Japanese troops, Thunder still has a small half of Thailand and the whole of Burma that can be used as a strategic backdrop to move around, but if Thunder's troops go to the Philippine battlefield, first of all, the ownership of the command, and then the ignorance of the terrain, which is extremely unfavorable to Thunder.

"Zhao, according to the Pentagon's arrangement, all Thunder troops entering the Philippine battlefield will receive weapons and equipment provided by the United States, and enjoy the same level as the U.S. Marine Corps in terms of troop treatment, and battlefield firepower assistance will also give priority to your troops." Seeing that Zhao Zhi did not show his attitude, Roger was not in a hurry, and after a few words of greeting, he took a group of officers under him to rest first, but Mary stayed.

"Why?" Roger and the others left, Zhao Zhicai slowly squinted at Mary who was drinking coffee happily, he somewhat understood Mary's intention, but he needed Mary to answer him personally. The first time Mary went to the Kunming base, she had already extended an olive branch on behalf of the U.S. military, but Zhao Zhi refused at that time, and her character of being a chicken head rather than an oxtail made Zhao Zhi only allow himself and the U.S. military to be a cooperative relationship rather than a commanded party. Like Rowling, although Mary is not from a big family, she also belongs to the category of people with mysterious backgrounds, and even Hunter can't find out the true identity of this woman, and Zhao Zhi is very interested in her intentions.

"I'm a soldier, and if you're a soldier, you have to obey orders, isn't that the case with your thunder?" Mary, who was seen by Zhao Zhi as suspicious, asked with a smile, long-term psychological training has allowed this woman to develop a versatile face, even when facing Zhao Zhi, Mary can still maintain her composure. Mary's answer obviously did not satisfy Zhao Zhi, the fingers that had been tapping on the table stopped, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, as if Mary was trying her best to keep her composure, but a trace of panic in her eyes was still caught by Zhao Zhi.

"I don't seem to have any friendship with your CIA, and I've had a few relationships with your Director Hoover, could it be that your CIA wants to recruit me into your organization?" A hint of clarity flashed in Zhao Zhi's mind, and he opened his mouth in confusion, but Mary's expression already showed that her judgment was correct, Mary with a mysterious background was a member of the CIA, no wonder Hunter couldn't find out the identity of this woman, and it should be because Hunter's authority level in the CIA was not up to standard.

"It's nothing, I was really sent by the Pentagon this time, and I am a full-time translator for the coordination team, and I have nothing to do with the CIA." was exposed by Zhao Zhi, Mary was not worried, at most she was driven back by Zhao Zhi and failed in a mission, with Rowling by Zhao Zhi's side, relying on her relationship with Rowling, there was no danger to her life.

"That's good, since you are a full-time translator in the coordination team, then do a good job of translation, and don't get involved in other things, don't make it difficult for Rowling." When Zhao Zhi sent Mary back to rest, he put on a good face, but the meaning of those words made Mary a little uncomfortable.
