The Soviet side also expressed its deep apologies during the exchange regarding the unauthorized dispatch of its own representatives into the country without notifying China.
"We must apologize to you for this. We were too presumptuous and arrogant this time, and took it upon ourselves to come and investigate first."
"The result failed to take into account the current situation and circumstances in China, as well as some related influencing factors, which was a real miscalculation."
"but."
Howard and Lusca solemnly assured Director Wu and Minister Yu—
"This was an oversight on our part, but we had absolutely no other intentions. Please believe that our starting point was to promote cooperation and friendly relations between our two countries."
"To make up for our mistakes, we will cooperate with whatever investigation the military wants to conduct; it is only right."
Given the sincerity of Howard and Lusca's words, and considering that relevant departments in both countries have already contacted each other, it can be proven that what they said is true.
Furthermore, the two did not intend to completely conceal their actions when entering the country. Rather, they were ambushed by Vietnamese agents during their entry, which led to their tumultuous journey.
After investigation, all of these matters were found to be true, so Wu Linghua and Yu Zhenhua did not make things difficult for Howard and Lusca.
"It's alright. Trust is mutual. It's understandable that you didn't trust us at first."
"I believe that through this cooperation, the trust between us will only grow stronger in the future."
Howard and Lusca breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Wu Linghua and Yu Zhenhua with admiration.
As expected of someone from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not only were their words and actions impeccable, but they also so easily eased the somewhat awkward relationship between the two sides with just a few words.
Tolerance and magnanimity truly reflect the spirit of a great nation.
"We are very grateful for your country's understanding, which has greatly reduced our psychological burden."
Howard and Wu Luska said with sincere expressions.
"Then let's move forward with the next steps as soon as possible?"
"Of course, we have already arranged the necessary personnel. Please feel free to let us know if you need anything, and don't hesitate to ask."
Director Wu and Minister Yu then gave a detailed introduction of the relevant personnel, and the two sides quickly reached a consensus, finalized a detailed plan, and then proceeded to implement it.
The people selected by Wu Linghua and Yu Zhenhua were all the best of the best, each one a talent, and their cooperation was extremely high. They acted like lubricants, coordinating the two sides very well.
The entire project progressed quite smoothly, which made Howard and Lusca breathe a sigh of relief once again, their eyes filled with admiration and respect.
Howard and Lusca's task then became much simpler; they simply needed to record all the relevant work and plans they had made, and then coordinate them.
Everything was proceeding smoothly. Du Chenzhou was, after all, a good friend of Howard and Lusca and had a certain understanding of them. In addition, his foreign language skills were also quite good, so he was specially approved to join this job.
Throughout the entire trip, he stayed in the room opposite Howard and Lusca, serving as their daily interpreter and acting as a translator for the Soviet side.
Sometimes, for simple tasks, he would also represent Howard and Lusca, handling some content coordination.
He became unusually busy, taking each day very seriously and maintaining a high level of concentration.
Every night when I return to my room and lie down on the bed, I always feel waves of fatigue washing over me.
Although I was tired, I did feel fulfilled.
