Chapter 451 Chaos (4205)
Hancheng, Daoshan Road, Jiangnan District.
In a typical Goryeo-style courtyard, with dim lights, five middle-aged Goryeo men, at least in their forties or fifties, sat on both sides of two middle-aged white men, introducing the dishes to them in an attentive manner.
"President Zalman, please try this. This is Korean beef from Hoengseong County, Gangwon Province. Our Korean beef is different from Japanese beef. We focus on the original flavor of the beef, making it juicier and more flavorful."
Goryeo Joint Chief of Staff Li Chunzhen politely pushed a plate of beef in front of another elegant white man in his forties.
The white man called Zalman smiled brightly, picked up the chopsticks clumsily, picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, then gave Li Chunzhen a thumbs up and said good several times.
Li Chunzhen smiled like a flower, bowed repeatedly, and stood up to pour wine for Zalman. Zalman politely raised his liquor glass and drank it all in one gulp, imitating Li Chunzhen's behavior.
The Korean Defense Minister Ko Min-kyu, who has always been serious and old-fashioned with his meticulously side-parted hair, now has a smile on his face and signals the chef to place another plate of freshly roasted beef in front of a bald man in his fifties or sixties with a small mustache on his upper lip next to him.
"Admiral Swift, please taste it." Gao Minqiu gestured with his hand to the commander of the Lima Army stationed in Korea, Scott Swift, that the beef was ready to be eaten. While gesturing, he stretched his neck forward like a turtle, with a flattering smile.
Scott Swift sat on the chair with a defiant look on his face, taking up half the space.
After hearing Gao Minqiu's words, Scott Swift did not pick up the chopsticks at hand, but picked up the knife and fork next to him, picked up the thin beef slices with the fork, and then put down the fork with a look of disgust.
"Guy, give me a Texas eye steak instead. Remember, I want Miami beef, not this rotten meat with no fat or lean."
Scott Swift waved his hand in disgust at the chef who was grilling the meat, as if the plate of beef was something disgusting.
Gao Minqiu, who was holding up the wine jug to pour wine for Scott Swift, couldn't help but his expression changed. He was in a dilemma whether to pour the wine or not.
Losing face is only one aspect, but Swift's attitude, who has just taken office, is what really deserves attention.
Gao Minqiu held the wine jug with a stiff face and paused for a few seconds. He gritted his teeth and forced a flattering smile: "Admiral Swift..."
Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Scott Swift.
"The Pentagon is very dissatisfied with the progress of deploying the Ted defense system. Therefore, the final deployment location must be confirmed within a month, and the deployment of six Teds must be completed within six months."
Swift has a unique Hawaiian accent with long vowels, which makes him seem very arrogant. Coupled with his strong body and shiny bald head, Gao Minqiu and Li Chunzhen look like little chicks next to him.
As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Minqiu and Li Chunzhen's expressions changed, and the atmosphere on the scene immediately became awkward.
Whatever you fear will come true.
I can’t go into detail about this matter, but it is ultimately a very difficult problem to solve.
Needless to say, there is pressure from the two major countries, Da Zhou and Mai. The internal pressure is also not small. The attitudes of support and opposition are very extreme. Various civil groups that support and oppose are marching today and tomorrow, and the attitudes of each constituency may be different.
But everyone understands that as long as the US wants to deploy it, they have no way to refuse.
Despite this, they also hope to delay it as much as possible, preferably for another two years, to complete the current leader's term and leave the problem to his successor to solve.
Gao Minqiu couldn't help but look at Zalman who was standing next to Li Chunzhen, but he saw that although the other party had a smile on his face, he had no intention of speaking, so he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Greedy and shameless Jude! They took the money and didn't do anything!
As the name suggests, Zalman is from Jude and is also one of Zheng Zhi's brokers in Washington. He and his partners founded the Holloway-Zalman Company, which specializes in lobbying for the Pentagon.
Every year, the Korean Ministry of Defense pays Holloway-Zalman a large amount of public relations fees to the Pentagon to prevent the annual defense budget increase for the May-June showdown.
Today, Swift was also invited out through Snell Zalman's personal relationship, in order to ask Swift to show leniency and give them some more time instead of pushing them so hard.
But now, he was being given such a hard time by Swift, and the shameless Snell Zalman turned a blind eye to it!
Seeing this, Gao Minqiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Mr. General, I'm sorry. We will speed up the process, but Congress has not yet fully approved it, so we can't guarantee..."
"That's your business!" Scott Swift waved his hand impatiently. "I only want results. This is an order."
After saying that, Swift glanced at Gao Minqiu and said, "Your efficiency is really too low. If you were in Miami, your drums would have been kicked to pieces long ago!"
"Don't try to play tricks on me, understand?"
Gao Minqiu and Li Chunzhen's faces froze. Li Chunzhen laughed dryly twice: "General, there must be a misunderstanding here. How could we play tricks..."
Scott Swift drooped his eyelids. "Misunderstanding? I don't think there's any misunderstanding. Frankly, I'm very dissatisfied with your recent behavior. Miami cannot accept an ally who is two-faced, let alone a foolish ally."
"Your VANK's recent harassment of Maiguo enterprises has already displeased many factions. We support your cognitive warfare, but this warfare is not directed against Maiguo!"
"Let me remind you that I am the commander of the Meigao Joint Army. All the Goryeo troops, please note, I mean all, including your Goryeo troops, must obey my orders unconditionally. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Minqiu and Li Chunzhen's faces turned purple.
Strictly speaking, Swift is right.
Although the Goryeo Commander-in-Chief was nominally the supreme commander of the three armed forces, all the armies were commanded by the Goryeo-Mai Joint Army Headquarters, and the commander of the Mai Army stationed in Goryeo was the commander of the Goryeo-Mai Joint Army.
To put it bluntly, as long as the Mai people wanted, they could mobilize the Goryeo army and participate in any military action without the consent of anyone in the Goryeo military.
"Okay! I understand! We will fight to the death to complete the admiral's requirements on time!" Gao Minqiu held the wine glass with his right hand and supported the bottom of the glass with his left hand. Even his forehead was red. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
No matter how high their status in Goryeo was, they had no way to disobey the orders of the Mai Kingdom.
Seeing Gao Minqiu lower his head, Swift couldn't help but reveal a hint of contempt in his eyes, but still nodded with satisfaction. He also picked up the soju glass and was about to clink glasses with Gao Minqiu when he heard a "boom" from a distance.
Is it thundering? Is it raining?
I didn't hear rain in today's weather forecast.
Several people subconsciously glanced out the window.
Then there were a few more muffled thunders in the distance.
Just then, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door. At the same time, Swift and Li Chunzhen's cell phones rang. Seeing the number, Swift couldn't help but frowned, and Li Chunzhen quickly turned the phone to silent mode and pressed X to turn off the ringtone.
Before Gao Minqiu asked the waiter to open the door, the restaurant door was pushed open from the outside. A young man in his early thirties walked up to Gao Minqiu with an anxious look on his face and whispered a few words to him.
Gao Minqiu's expression was calm at first, but after hearing just two sentences, he stood up suddenly with a pale face.
"What did you say? NIS and VANK were attacked by tanks? Where did the tanks come from?"
"M1A1 at Yongsan Base? What are you talking about!?"
Gao Minqiu grabbed the young man by the collar with a ferocious look on his face.
Before the young man could say anything, he heard Swift, who was answering the phone nearby, roar out in anger: "This is impossible! You sons of bitches! Go check it out for me and report back!"
"F**K! The Ministry of Defense is calling me too. Find out what's going on!"
At the same time, Gao Minqiu and Li Chunzhen's phones rang like heaven.
"The 71st Native Infantry Division has already entered the city? Who gave them the permission to move? How dare they act without my order?!"
"A coup! This is a coup!"
Gao Minqiu's forehead veins bulged as he looked angrily at Swift who was shouting not far away. Suddenly, an uncontrollable guess arose in his mind.
Could it be that Mai State wants to annex Goryeo?
The 71st Native Infantry Division entered the urban area of Hancheng so quickly, which meant that it had left its base long ago, which meant that all this was premeditated!
The 71st Native Infantry Division belongs to the "Shield" force of the Hancheng Defense Command. The only ones who can mobilize this force are him, the Minister of Defense, and the Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Forces!
He definitely didn't give the order, so the only possibility is this big bald guy in front of him!
Gotta take Scott Swift first!
Gao Minqiu winked at the young man and whispered a few words in his ear. The young man was stunned, but under Gao Minqiu's stern gaze, he tightened his lips and nodded heavily.
This is a critical moment for the survival of the country, and it is time for our generation to turn the tide!
The young man licked his lips and winked at the other two strong young men outside the door. The three of them surrounded Scott Swift without saying a word.
"What are you doing?" Scott, who was on the phone, didn't notice anything unusual until the three men were less than three meters away from him. Seeing this, the three men looked at each other and rushed towards Scott Swift tacitly.
Scott, a veteran, threw the phone he was using behind him, then leaped backward, trying to grab Gao Minqiu as a hostage.
A coup! This is a coup against the Mai army! This is a Hongmen Feast!
Are all the Koreans crazy?
No wonder many people say that this country is a large mental hospital with 30 million patients!
Damn, I was careless!
Scott couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
No matter how strong he was, he was almost sixty years old after all, and these three men were also elite soldiers in the army. Not to mention being besieged by three people, even if he was alone, he might not be able to handle it.
But if he is given a few minutes, the guards outside will arrive, and then none of these Koreans will be able to escape!
Seeing him jump back, Gao Minqiu subconsciously reached out and picked up the chef's knife on the iron plate to give himself courage.
He is a civil servant. With a height of 1.6 meters and a weight of over 100 kilograms, he is really just a little chicken compared to Swift, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall.
But as soon as Scott's feet left the ground, one of the young men quickly stretched his foot behind him and tripped him.
Scott lost his balance at that moment, and fell backward uncontrollably with his weight of more than 200 pounds, landing heavily on Gao Minqiu.
"puff!"
“Hmm…”
Gao Minqiu pushed Scott Swift's 200-pound body away and stared in amazement at the kitchen knife stuck under Scott's left shoulder blade.
Blood foam quickly oozed from the corners of Scott's mouth. He stretched out his hands but couldn't say anything, and couldn't even scream. He struggled for a few times, tilted his head, and stopped breathing.
Grass grass grass grass grass!!!!!!!!!!!!
what did i do??????
Did I kill the commander of the United Nations?
Gao Minqiu's face turned pale, and Li Chunzhen stood there trembling like an idiot. No one noticed that Snell Zalman had already crawled out of the restaurant.
"The Admiral has been assassinated!!!! Send me back to Longshan Base quickly!!!! Hey!!!"
"Ah!!!! The Koreans are coming! It's them!!!"
Soon, intensive gunfire was heard in the courtyard.
In the urban area of Hancheng, sporadic gunshots began to be heard. At first, the people of Hancheng thought they were the sound of fireworks exploding, but soon they were horrified to find that they were gunshots!
What’s even more terrible is that the gunfire in many places across the city is becoming more and more frequent.
The Mai Army and the Mai Army, the Goryeo Army and the Mai Army, the Goryeo Army and the Goryeo Army, the Goryeo Army or the Mai Army and some important institutions... no one knows who fired the first shot.
But the battle began like this.
——
La Seine Restaurant, 2nd floor, Letian Hotel, Jiangnan Road.
A slim young woman wearing a hat and a mask walked lightly through the restaurant and bar area. Although her face could not be seen, her temperament that she inadvertently revealed attracted the attention of countless diners.
The young woman looked around and found a dining area separated by a screen. She looked inside and saw a thin and handsome man with neatly combed hair. He smiled with eight teeth and waved to her.
"Sorry, am I late?" The young woman took off her hat but did not take off her mask. She tidied her hair and asked in fairly fluent English.
"No, I arrived early." The handsome man smiled and shook his head. Seeing that the young woman had not taken off her mask, his eyes flashed slightly.
"Fei Fei, we're still in the couple's contract period and need more witnesses. Wouldn't it be better if you took off your mask?"
The young woman hesitated for a moment, and finally took off the mask on her face.
Although this was not the first time he had seen this face, a hint of intoxication still unconsciously appeared in the handsome man's eyes.
Liu Feifei is indeed a beautiful actress in Da Zhou who can be ranked alongside Fan Haomen. She is always so beautiful no matter when you look at her.
Moreover, she seems to be even more beautiful than when I filmed a movie with her two years ago.
If we can turn the couple's contract into reality, maybe it would be a good idea?
A thought flashed through the handsome man's mind.
The man was Liu Feifei's contracted lover, Korean actor Shang Jimin.
Shang Jimin showed a charming smile with a loving look in his eyes: "Didn't we agree to meet next month? Why did you suddenly come to Hancheng to see me?"
Liu Feifei pursed her lips lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Shang, I want to end our contract early."
