Tang Ran returned happily with a full load. He took Zuo Yuan with him and did not even return to their respective camps. Instead, he drove directly with the things to find Commander Zhou.
In Commander Zhou’s office.
"They're just being unreasonable. What else do we have to do? We even attacked their camp. I think they're just looking for trouble. If they don't make trouble, we won't be bored!"
"What are you investigating? It's impossible. I know who's under my command.
A soldier under my command came to me to complain before, saying that someone from Country Y was trying to extort money from one of my female soldiers, claiming that my soldier was his wife. I didn't even ask for an explanation, but instead asked them to adjust their mindset and figure out what we're doing here."
Zhou Yian was biting so hard that his hands were almost red from slamming the table. The guard standing next to him was sweating coldly.
"Commander, please don't be so arrogant. There are three American military trucks parked outside the yard."
When it comes to loud and noisy conversations, Zhou Yian has never been afraid of anyone. As soon as he hung up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
If you are angry, you can't hold it in. The best option is to let it out.
"What are you doing here? What happened?"
"Commander, Commander Zuo and Tang Ran are here."
"They're here? It's only been a few days, right? Are you giving up already? Let them in."
Zhou Yian was convinced that Tang Ran had given up. A few days ago, Zhou Yian asked him for permission to leave the camp, and he guessed that the two of them were going to the M Army's arsenal. He hadn't heard of any incidents at the M Army's arsenal, so they must have given up.
"No, they drove over three trucks from the M Army."
Zhou Yian's head suddenly buzzed, and a bad premonition arose.
This time there is no need to call Tang Ran and Zuo Yuan in, he will just go out!
Then, after seeing three M Army trucks and a large group of smiling people, Zhou Yian felt dizzy. He thought he had spoken too early. He might not really know the people under his command.
"You robbed the M Army's camp?"
"Yeah."
Zhou Yian's chest heaved violently, and words were no longer enough to express his feelings at the moment.
"There's no tail left."
"No, it's a clean sweep. They won't find anything to blame on us unless they falsely accuse us."
What can you do with your own soldiers?
"Go and replace these three cars, and then put them in the back of the warehouse for me.
Tang Ran, Zuo Yuan, and Meng Yizhou, the three of you come in."
It was obvious that Zhou Yian was in a bad mood, but what had to be done had to be done. The three of them looked at each other and walked the short distance with a fearless attitude of facing death.
"Commander Zhou, you're a man of your word. We've got four more heavy machine guns, which adds up to eight with the four we got before. Just give Zuo Yuan two, and we'll trade the rest for your guns. We've got the appropriate ammunition."
"Commander Zhou, the machine guns are just as good as theirs in the warehouse. Why don't you give them all to me? We need them. Please keep a record of them for me first, and I'll return them when I get something good."
Zuo Yuan spoke up immediately. The two machine guns originally agreed upon were no longer enough to satisfy him. He wanted more.
"Zuo Yuan, have you lost your dignity? We agreed on two machine guns, so why are you raising the price?
How many people do you send? If that's the case, the guns will have to be redistributed, and I'll give each person an extra one."
"No, I don't have enough here to share. I got a lot more this time. Those are for you."
"No, that's not fair. Do you still want to follow me and get the benefits next time?"
Zhou Yian likes to call the current situation "unequal distribution of spoils." Have you asked him what he thinks? Are these two guys going to divide the spoils among themselves?
Zhou Yian just watched the two people arguing quietly, as if they were about to start fighting in the next second.
Fortunately, Meng Yizhou had a high IQ. After sensing his uncle's unfriendly expression, he decisively stopped the two from arguing any further.
"Ahem, don't you see where you are? How dare you bully a female comrade like me in front of Commander Zhou!"
Zuo Yuan:…………
He said one thing, and Tang Ran responded with three. He was bullying female comrades?? He was almost being bullied to death by these female bandits!
Zhou Yian picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. After the two of them had such a quarrel, the complicated emotions he had before disappeared, and he looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"Just before I went out to meet you, I received a call from someone asking for accountability. They said Country M suspected our people of attacking their camp and strongly accused my country and Country Y. Country Y also accused us of exacerbating the conflict. I yelled at them to put out the fire, and then a minute later, you hit me in the face twice.
Tell me, can I still give you this gun?"
Zhou Yian's words immediately made Zuo Yuan and Tang Ran form a united front.
"Commander Zhou, you can't go back on your word. We agreed that if it doesn't work, we won't show it off or use it secretly."
"Yes, use it secretly!"
…………
After some pressure and negotiation, the result was finalized.
Zhou Yian agreed to do as he had said before, giving the guns to Tang Ran, handing over six machine guns, and handing over all the rest. Except for the matching bullets, all the other items seized this time would be included in the items seized last time and handed over. There was only one condition: that they keep quiet in the days to come.
It goes without saying who is being silenced.
Tang Ran knew that now was not the time to negotiate conditions. Fortunately, she was more careful and did not take all the confiscated guns this time. She hid most of them and did not let them go to waste. So she agreed immediately.
"You two go get the guns. Meng Yizhou stays here."
"Uncle, please don't..."
"What do you mean by 'otherwise'? Your parents and your grandpa all know that you secretly went to the battlefield. Hurry up and write them two letters. I will find a way to send them back.
You are already so old, when will you stop worrying?"
When Tang Ran saw this, Zhou Yian was about to get angry. If she had such a troublesome nephew, she would be even more angry.
"How can you talk to your uncle? Just do what I tell you to do and sit down and write a letter!
Teacher Zhou, can I also write two letters? I’m afraid our teacher Fang will miss me.”
Zhou Yian glared at Tang Ran, snorted, and casually handed Tang Ran a set of paper and pen. The little girl was very protective of Meng Yizhou. If you didn't know, you would think he was her step-uncle.
Zhou Yian ignored the two of them and continued to work on the documents. Tang Ran and Meng Yizhou sat side by side, each writing their own letters. There was no other sound in the room except the sound of pages turning and pens rubbing against paper.
After a long while, someone's stomach growled.
Zhou Yian looked up at Tang Ran and then at Meng Yizhou.
"Hungry?"
The two nodded in unison. After all this time, they still hadn't been able to get a meal from Zhou Yian.
"If you're hungry, pack up and go home. We won't provide food if you come here!"
Tang Ran, Meng Yizhou: …………
